It is probably relied on luck just like every other gamble that we do is luck based. To have seen such numbers and analysed them is based on same luck for them to appear at the result. If you look at the world cup you also see some matches and the result not as predicted with the odds assigned to them. This is likewise like the numbers can manifest and become winning games.

I see your point also. Right from his club Manchester United, he has not been of good character and inspiring to the team players threatening to leave and that also happened in his national team. If the coach decide to play him by the second half means the coach was not satisfied with his performance and that should make him change but he became a bad egg, leaving just immediately after the match was a sign. I hope Ronaldo won't end up badly with the press.

Harry Kane missed the penalty that would have leveled the game with 2:2 for England to continue playing at the extra half but this was not to happen as he played the kick above the post. I think the reason he pulled the ball up was because he only would target the right side of the post and since he had scored the first penalty from that angle, he felt the keeper who is also his team mate in Tottenham would go that right direction. The best would have been for him to allow someone else play the penalty. Unfortunately, he lost it and England has also lost out of the world cup. Moving on to the semi finals, we have Morocco against France and Croatia against Argentina. Good luck to Morocco

I have to clear this up that it is not a lottery game. I only asked if anyone has experienced that kind of gambling before. It was a number based that the guy forecast and did research from other sources before having the feeling that the numbers would be the outcome of a weekend pools result for that week. Lottery numbers may not be forecasted, it can be by random selection. So this was a weekly pools result game.

This is a good wish and I hope the keeper gets rewarded as the best keeper for the tournament. Yassine Bounou has made goal bound kicks not only from the Spain match but today's match with Portugal. Morocco is looking like a very serious team aiming for the ultimate price, the world cup victory. I guess playing the next match with either England or France will be a thing of pride for not only Morocco but Africa continent.

Ronaldo's inclusion in the match at the second half was not impactful so he wouldn't have made any impact too if he had been included from the first half. At the second half, I didn't see Ronaldo doing any individual contributions like we use to know him in the past when he was still young, those solo runs are not seen and this is to say he is tiring out. I guess his shielding out tears is that he won't be in the party next time for Portugal and that he won't have the chance to showcase himself for at least a third place match if they had qualified for the semi finals. Fortunately, Morocco has taken the shine from Portugal and as the first African country to play at that stage of the world cup, congratulations to the dogged side of Morocco even though missing clear chances to score even two more goals occurring from counter attacks at the second half. Meanwhile, I think the officiating was bad against the African side, first there was a ball to hand against the Portuguese side that wasn't investigated by VAR. Again, the red card against Morocco was not fair officiating, a yellow card would have sounded the warning also. And I think the referee allowed the match to go on even when it was supposed to have ended. I saw a 3 minutes extra time given at the end of the 90 minutes but they played almost 9 minutes extra time.




Morocco is an African country.

You are already thinking of penalty for this match and you know if it gets to that shoot out kicks, Morocco has tasted that and succeeded with Spain. The Moroccan keeper is well prepared to pick some of the penalty shots like he did with Spain. Update on the match is that at the moment the match is on no goal yet at 40 minutes, 5 shots for Morocco and 3 for Portugal, 1 shot on target for each but Portugal having better possession of the ball.

It was not for entertainment purposes, it happened but if it repeatedly happened is what I can not confirm and this is longtime ago like I already said.


No it is not as such, not the crystal ball. The TV is out of it only that it was a medium that such numbers were shown and then plus other confirmation from soccer news papers that the forecast were drawn from.

I understand this one you are talking about. The old men usually hangout forecasting through the soccer news paper to analyse on what draws will come during the weekend. It is almost same as the one the guy followed up on the TV because it is also about studying and reading of the numbers appearing that week. He also cross checked his forecast on the soccer newspaper to confirm same numbers. This is years back actually.



Lol such strategy is already a hard work itself. Researching on that daily is not a lazy man's job.

I was reading all the posts above posted to see if what I feel like asking is there and this side of your post corroborate what enquiry I have. At what point should euthanasia be permissible? This is the issue for me because I might not really be against it totally because there some health challenges that the pains are really excruciating and whose natural result is still death. So how do we reach to this level where it will be the most reasonable thing to do. It is difficult to take someone else life but some are not just bearable to see the person living.

I think the Nigerian government is biting more than she can chew. They are still struggling with the redesigning of the currency amidst litigation of not going through the right processes in the first place. The government is abrogating, doing the wrong thing at the right time. How do we juxtapose banning of bitcoin trading and account linked to the bank and now forcefully chasing masses to adopt CBDC ?

These whole currency thing is just like a sheep in human clothing, it has no real face but rather having political current with the general election approaching, it is witch hunting of certain political affiliates. The decision is I'll planned and coming just when an administration was coming to an end. The present administration will conduct an election in February and will hand over in May 2023. So why the haste after being in office for 8 whole years.

The challenges to Nigerian economy and inflation amidst insecurity is more basic than the currency regulation. Inflation will be push down if the economy do more of production, to fix the refinery, electricity, agriculture, transportation are more basic to reduce cost and scarcity that kept pushing inflation up. If the economy was running better then currency regulation will be more sane.

It is really a gambling strategy I consider as a critical and logical reasoning. Sometimes they can add the numbers up and arrive at another number and bet on it. Like the first week is 7,19 so they can add 7 + 19 = 36. That means they either bet on 7,19, 36 or divide 36 in two to arrive at a particular forecast they are looking at.

I have experienced some guys who are chronic gamblers making unimaginable predictions from football player's jersey numbers, basket ball, hockey, rugby etc jersey's numbers. I have experienced this and their prediction is only based on these numbers shown on TV sports analysis consistently and regularly.
These chronic gamblers feel that when these jersey numbers keep flashing on your TV stations maybe during the sports news, analysing the jersey numbers on different clubs and display of the jersey numbers may be a sign that such number will appear as draw for the week and they do their permutations on that.

This is for example what I'm saying with the jersey numbers not about the person but numbers precisely.





The pictures are different and analysed differently for the week.
Like 7,19
Another week 10,7,17
Another week 10,7,17,10 (probably 10 confirmation of banker  for this week)
Another week 8,7,8,10 (probably 8 confirmation of banker for this week)
Another week 16,15
Another week 10

So this particular guy in Nigeria around 5 years ago followed some Jersey numbers he has been monitoring for the week and according to him 3 of the numbers where consistently and regularly appearing on different TV stations for the week and he concluded some numbers and went to stake them 3/3 in the weekend draws and behold! When the matches were played all turned out draws and this guy cashed out from different pool shops where he did the stakings. It was a big winning story in the area alongside few guys he gave the numbers to try their luck.

My question is, have you experienced this kind of gambling with Jersey numbers ?

Note: The pictures are just to illustrate my point with the jersey not particular about who was wearing it and I didn't need to link any source because any jersey number will do or can be imagined, at most written with bare hands.

It is not a matter of the CR7 not being in the match and the Portuguese scoring that high number of goals, rather I think Switzerland is not a better side at yesterday's match and they Portuguese capitalized on that. They barely had shots on target at the first half, Portugal did all the attacking and of course the reason for the goals. Well whatever was the reason for not playing Ronaldo worked for them.

Yes the three countries that have had an unbeaten run in the world cup so far have been fantastic. I didn't expect England to beat Senegal as they did but they ended up smashing the African champion as they did with 3:0. But now that we have Morocco from Africa defeating one of the football giants in Europe and the world, why are you not giving them chance to see them at the world cup ? Remember this is a world cup with a lot of surprises. We didnt expect the defeat of Spain from Morocco, now the Portugal opponent to Morocco at the quarter final may go home while Morocco proceed to the semi finals, nothing is impossible.

I still believe that it is still early to feel bitcoin is now stable in the price, although the price didn't drop like it is expected during the November season and December but the year is still on and anything drop can still happen. Bitcoin stability to me is during the halving and not now. What we are seeing this time could be little corrections going on.

My own take on this is that I don't agree with it. No money don't really follow people with value because if you look at the professors, the well read, well behaved and descent people, they are not wealthy, they are just average and could only feed themselves, immediate family and nothing more but they have created value, taught virtues etc but they remain as below average or lower in the society. Money rather follow people who have been into illicit business and embezzlement, stealing public money, making contacts for contract awarding. These set of people are those that money follow but they are not smarter, they only choose such style of life. Winning through fraud, illicit craft, drug peddling is not value creation but pulling down the society and corrupting it more. So I don't agree with your assertion that money follow people with value.

This news is not surprising to me that UK is facing brain drain and her doctors are leaving for other better paid jurisdiction in medicine like going to Australia. I thought all was well in the countries that Nigerians quickly run to for greener pastures while the citizens there also leave there home land for other countries for greener pastures. Humans and their insatiable wants and needs.

Few months back around October I heard in the news that UK government licenced about 91 trained Nigerian doctors to practice in the UK



Okay now the whole scenario is sinking. They are doing replacement for doctors who have left like "Rachel James" and others who have decided not to return because of the unfavorable UK working conditions in her health system.

In the list of top goal scorers for this world cup Qatar 2022, Mbappe is topping the list with 5 goals already and the rest following in the train are from 3 goals below including Messi. So I think kylian Mbappe has a greater chance to going home with the golden boot. The France team is strongly leading their world cup campaign, being in the race they Mbappe is my choice for the highest goal scorer this world cup.

I agree with you that the work system has broken down. That is the government salary paid jobs, they can not afford anything near better living because of inflation as the main cause and that is why every home to survive have other things to do to raise money by the side. In Africa and especially in Nigeria unlike before where the culture is that the man is the bread winner of the family and goes out to struggle to feed the home, this is no longer happening like that as the reality of the economic hardship is even biting the women folks when the husband can't sustain the family from what he is able to bring, the womei now works and in some families are now the bread winners.

People have resorted into different means of survival and at the end of the day, what comes in from those means far outweighs government salaries. Begging and corporate begging is what some people have found to do. When you go to eateries, you see the service attendants there from the gates, doors and those in service expecting you to drop some change for them and this happens across the world not only in Africa, that is corporate begging.
