You are adding games to already selected games you have chosen for something that will not be significant to your bet, the highest number that bet can add to your bet will not be more than 2 odds and is it worth it for let's say a selection of 50 odds you have done? It's better to he contented sometimes and also not to listen to people in bets shops, they will only confuse you even more and when you lose, they will not even console you, some are there to even give you bad opinion about your games.

As for me, I don't do physical shops but I do have that habit of adding more options when I see some punters game on X but I have stopped that habit. I do feel because they win more than me, I feel it's okay to add there games to mine but I later realized that they lose more than I even imagine. I stay on my lane and stake on my idea, if I win I celebrate and if I lose, I improve on where I made mistakes.

Craig Wright is con artist. He has been fighting this and I don't know why he is pushing just to win that battle, why is his claiming to be Satoshi is giving me many questions on my head. Okay let's assume that the court win in his favor, what is he going to say eventually for the bad things the US government has said about Bitcoin, is he going to pay for the damages? That guy need to be bury 6 feet for lying trying to claim what he didn't do. If he is even Satoshi, I'm not sure he will want to say it because this fight just beat the purpose of Bitcoin.

He will soon get tired and will rest, this fight is more than 6 years when I first came across the article about the bitcoin ownership. It will one day be forgotten because he lack real evidence. If he is Satoshi, by now he would have provided the private keys to one forgotten wallet address where Bitcoin are there but he don't have all access to them which is why I believe that Craig is not good for Bitcoin community.

Why do you have this mindset. Is it because you don't owe no bitcoin? There could be some bitcoin that might not be accessible due to inaccessibility to private keys, forgotten private keys, see d phrase mismatch and loss of paper wallets but that does not mean bitcoin will go to extinction.

It doesn't even make sense to think this low, it means you have not been paying attention to what has been happening around Bitcoin. Take for for instance today, ETF Bitcoin has cross a milestone of $10b, this means that institutional investors has invest more than $10B within a space of one month after Bitcoin ETF has been approved, we don't know how the numbers will grow in the coming months, you think with such investment coming to Bitcoin, it will die and be forgotten one day? Extinction is not the right word to be used here.

The only challenge here is Bitcoin supply, it will continue to shrink and miners will continue to have less and less number of Bitcoin until 100 years to come. What will happen next depend on what will happen next on price and the next thing to do will happen by then, so for now just focus on the growth because bitcoin is too real to die, you should have asked this question 7 years ago when people were having so much doubt about the future.

Either one of the team will soon lead the table because there point is close that if one of the team make a loss and the other one win, the one that loss might find it difficult to make it again most especially Liverpool, Manchester City are just waiting for them to lose a match so they can step up and never give them a second chance again but it seems the Arsenal we are not paying attention to beat West Ham like under 13 today, they just got their revenge 3 times to West Ham for humiliating them in Emirate stadium in the first round match.


With the form of Liverpool before that game, I thought Arsenal might lose to Liverpool because that was the period they were not making progress in their matches but ever since they win Liverpool, they have had 4 matches after that and they won it all, it was encouragement for Arsenal and disappointment for Liverpool but I know one thing that out of Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool, city are the team I think might win this season title.

You have to give that football psychology and twist to Anceloti. Just before that match, I saw how everyone were giving credit to Girona for there outstanding matches this season, for beating Barcelona that aren't in form, for beating Atletico and the rest and they think that is enough to justify their match with Real Madrid, I'm glad I didn't waste my energy to argue blindly but the result was enough to put Girona and his people in their place because Real Madrid useless them in that match, the showed they are the seniority Spain and will remain relevant till dy kingdom dy come.

What scared is what will happened when if Anceloti decide to leave Real Madrid, that man is aging and the more his age is increasing, his sense of style in winning matches impress me more. I fear that if that man leave Real Madrid, it might be difficult to get a man like Anceloti. Just look at how he arrange center back for Real Madrid against Girona, Rudiger wasn't even fit to play but he used the remaining players efficiently and still got his result excellently.

I don't think Enzo Fernandez was overhype, we can't deny the fact that his contributions in the world cup was undermine, he played his part in the world cup in great manner. If not for part of his contributions, Argentina wouldn't have won the World cup and it was that his form Chelsea went for him but what I don't like about the deal was the amount, $100M, hell no that money is too much for such move but I think because Graham Potter was desperate to fix the problem in Chelsea then, the pressure coming from Chelsea overcrowded his judgement of that move.

Furthermore, since he joined Chelsea football club, unlike how new players get PR and help their club with stunning goals even if it was for a month, he didn't meet my expectations at all. He was just making assist without making goals not until last week when he had a great a clean goal from that free kick. If it were to be like other players that don't slack, this should be another opportunity for comeback for his career in Chelsea but I guess we will never know if he is fully back for Chelsea.

I didn't see where OP said he smoke in the presence of his family
Addiction is addiction but common sense will be available for a caring dad, I don't think OP will sit and smoke on front of his kids and wife, many Dad's that smoke aren't even proud of it, they do it hidden just to make sure that the kids don't learn about it, the wife might know about it but kids are always not expose. If OP could take this decision to quit, the he must have value his family and his health.

Smoking is just a habit and if you decide to leave it, trust me you will leave it but if you are ready to abandon it, there is nothing will stop you. Even OP, I think it's too early to say he quit, he should have continued saving the money and buy bitcoin and the wait probably a year to share the successful story on how he won against smoking, most people go back even after six months of quitting.

Just because an account is showing 6 stars doesn't mean it's earned, some Legendary accounts are merit airdrop when the merit system was introduced and when you see them post, you will know them from their post style, Newbies shouldn't be intimidated by rank, you can have something upstairs ahead of some but there are some high rank, from there first paragraph you will know they are intelligent.

It's not like if you talk, you will beheaded or look down upon. This is forum, if you make a mistake, a sincere person will correct you where you need to adjust, some might be rude and some might be nice but the essence of the message is to take correction and adjust where you think it's necessary, nobody has two head in this forum and nobody is born with Bitcoin knowledge from this forum.

Just so you know, some high ranked accounts are bought by new people who don't even understand what the forum is about and you may see a newbie account that is active and more intellectually sound than some legendary, they post less but their merit history says how good they are, don't feel less, if you have idea on thread feel free to add your opinion or move into the next.

There is a reason why they called it forum, interact and discuss what matter and just because you think you are right doesn't mean you are actually right. Everyone in the Forum is open to critiques, correction when they make mistakes, and call to order when the are saying inaccurate or spreading false information. I remember one time when I uses to confuse passphrase and seed phrase, I wrote so many posts repeating the same mistakes but when I get corrected, I revise some of the things I learnt and took the correction because spreading wrong information can hurt others.

You need thick skin to enjoy the forum, if you are a mama's boy, you will get annoyed by words here but as you stay here with time, you will begin to understand that everyone is entitled to their opinions, just because you feel it should be left doesn't mean others will agree with you. Some people will called for middle or right ; that's how the forum is and with time you will enjoy every moment of it.

Don't take words here too deep, you will get emotional and hate people but some people are just the way they are learn to accept them or kindly use the ignore bottom and go your way, it's as simple as that to enjoy the forum.

Forum is not as difficult as you think. You friend/brother that introduced you to the forum can't give you all the necessary information, he can only give you some tips but you can basically learn everything by yourself if you stick to the etiquette of the forum. As a beginner who is finding it difficult to understand the forum, start by reading
Newbies- Read before posting.


You have made 100 total posts and more than 50 of them are from local board which is Naija board, not every merit source will find your post helpful or understand what you write as your information is only limited to Nigeria discussion and because Nigeria board has just 1 merit source with a limited number of merit(less than 50 a month), the merit can't always go around. I Wil advice you engage in more active board like Bitcoin discussion, trading discussion, meta board which discuss things about the forum.


Sending messages to people might look like begging, it's better that you made the post public so that other people can give you more contributions and advise instead of been directed by one person. You might likely not have what you are even looking for and begging for merit is totally bad here in this forum. Improve your post and be active, it will help you rank up.

You should have drop your Resume and CV, it will help to differentiate if you are a regular person who doesn't have work or just another scammer(most likely) who think everyone think so low like them. In case this is your first time penetrating this forum for luck, I want to let you know that most people here are pro active when it comes to scam, you will make nothing but if you offer a legit service, customers and client will come your way just maybe, that said.

Now let me school you on privacy.
Privacy is state of mind, an act that has to do with you and nobody get a say or opinion on it. You want to help people do this and that, don't you think you are invading others privacy because you want to help them do something they can do on their own? This is crypto and anything you want to do, be rest assured that you don't need anybody to help you. Let's that sink Boi.

When there is an economy down turn, nobody is expected to thrive well in that economy and nobody will be left untouched by the effect. The only people that survive only inflation is people that don't save their money in the local currency, perhaps into dollar or any strong currency that are not too affected by inflation and only if the money they earn continue to flow in foreign currency. The US for example are one of the best currency that doesn't get bitten by inflation, earning through that will save you from a lot of things in the country.

I see a lot of people saying those who have commodities saved before inflation set in isn't the best way to maneuver inflation, when you sell those commodities, you gain a lot but after a short period of time, you back to spend the money on over inflated commodities and then you joined them in the hardship.

In general, as long as you earn in local currency consistently, you will feel the negative impact of inflation and this is why the government must do everything to protect it's currency from inflation. We can't 100% control inflation but it must be manage and manipulated so people don't start crying when price of goods start to triple with the same earning capacity.

I don't know how Girona is making ways to win their games, maybe there is a reverse psychology they do to other teams but I don't just know how lucky this guys get in every match but I will see what they are going to do this weekend in their match with Real Madrid. If they penetrate us quickly and win this game, then I will have to believe that this team are the new rising stars in Spain but if we trash them like newbies, I will believe that they are just empty barrel that are just lucky this season.

So far, we haven't been active with them because they are normal team in Spain but the last time Real Madrid visited Juan Pulido, they conceded 3 goals with a clean sheet but this time, it's going to be happening in Santiago Bernabeu which I'm very confident Real Madrid will not want to lose in that match, no active player of the season is having injury. This is going to be another clean sheet to boost point on the table.

In all of the opponent Nigeria has face in this tournament, this is the most interesting one and this is the most celebrated one because Nigeria has met South African in the Semi finals 4 times and has never lose to them, they were ready for Nigerians and Nigerians were ready for them. It took the grace of our players to get Penalty lead goal which was later neutralize by their own penalties as well. The first half of the game was well played by South Africa but the second half after that goal, they weren't making much to score goals but the plan was to lead Nigeria to Penalties which of course favoured Nigeria because of Nwabali.

I didn't watch how Ivory coast qualified to final but looking at the highlight, the goal was by luck, Congo played them yesterday in the second half but Ivory coast were smart to protect their territory until the final time and now they will face Nigerian but they aren't winning us with this mentality. If we manage to lead with 1 goal, it is going to be the end of them in this tournament.

When a team is trying to survive and looking out for things that work for them, the day they make a normal performance, it becomes like a magic to everyone. If not that the season has isn't how it use to be, Aston Villa will not confront Chelsea and want to go down on them that easily but because it's now a normal thing for the team to lose consistently, we get surprised when they do normal performance in matches, Aston Villa is normal team Chelsea can trash any time.

Not Pochettino but the players are the ones that gave beautiful impression in that match, look at Enzo for instance. Since he was acquired by Graham Potter after his beautiful performing in the world cup, I have seen anything good from him, just jumping from one match to another but yesterday goal is like what I have seen from him after a long time and the club, I want to see that improves in EPL and not just FA cup.

As of 2023, it was projected that an average of 430 million people hold crypto which is equivalent to 4.2% that are holding crypto. This implies that 95.8% of the world are yet to be using crypto, I don't know where you get your stats from but crypto has long place to for people to recognize and utilities it.


This is for people that are into techy aspect of crypto but by employment, many of them are into projects which mostly don't turn out well. Check the numbers of crypto developers and what they have built so far, they are mostly half bake project that were short term, some were scams but we I admit that we have some of them that are doing well. Crypto confidence will increased this with time but we keep getting distracted with these bad projects.


I'm not too sure about this, crypto isn't about poverty elevation but more like investment. You can't print money for nothing unless you invest and some people that do invest make back their investment while some don't, there is nothing about poverty and the money you make isn't consistency like a place where you make daily bread, most of the opportunity in crypto are one time opportunity, once it's pump and dump, the possibility of pumping again is always rare.

There is nothing palatable with poverty in old age. The world is changing rapidly and this is not like the time a lot of things happen that hindered a lot of people from making money. In the 18 centuries, we have major challenges like War that reduce people's potential and making money, many people lose things the have during wars and houses but today, they are now things of the past. It will be shameful if I tell my grandkids the same thing my grappa told me because I have no excuse for not leaving poor state.

Even if you are not making money for tomorrow please be rich because of your health as it's when you become old you risk getting sickness all the time because your immune system will be very weak. The only thing that can prolong your life is proper health care system and that's comes with a lot of money. You need good meal to survive and good meal comes with good money, invest when you have the opportunity because nothing is promise tomorrow.

I find this funny but at the same time, you nailed some points. Some diseases are transferable from one person to another but don't you think that's a less problem to gambling considering that people don't waste much time in gambling platforms. Like the physical gambling places that we have here, people do sports mostly and Africa at large and because some don't have access to phone or because they can't use phone, they go there book there games and come home, they only go back there to check and cashout when they win.

The only place I think this will be spread mostly is in casino and that I know isn't common here in my place. Aside from the things you mentioned, online gambling provides you with high level of privacy. You can win millions within a night and if you don't tell anyone that you have become a millionaire, they wouldn't know nothing but if it was physical, they will announce you to the public with a big check and probably use your winning for some marketing and advertisements which is bad.

So 4 win is enough to make a validation that De Rossi is a big coach than Mourinho? No, it's too early to celebrate and I want to see what they will played against Inter by weekend, that's one of the toughest team in the tournament and I will count my teeth that Roma will not go on Inter without getting some punch, because that's the only team in Seria A currently that has only loss 1 match this season and most likely they wouldn't lose the second one to Roma.

It's quite good that Roma is back and critiques of Mourinho wouldn't be able to dejustufy him been sacked but this makes me to remember how Tottenham was making news in the Premier League but as soon as two key players(defender and midfielder) got injuries, there performance low down and they were quickly chased out of the table, I hope De Rossi stories is not related to what he is doing right now.

I don't see any debate here if all gamblers follows a definite rule that guide everyone in gambling which is gamble responsibly and to make sure to always gamble with the money you can afford to lose. Following this basic will not remove anything from you and it doesn't cost you more than the safety, the only guide I think you need after this should be your skills and how to properly make use of your bankroll without taking away with emotions or trying to chase loss.

Whether you are rich gambler or an average person that gambles, if you place money on 1.5 odd, you will get a return of 1.5x provided that your prediction went well, the 1.5x that you get is now on what you put at stake. A responsible person will measure his pocket and put what he can afford to lose. Just because you are looking rich doesn't mean you have to wager all your money and just because you are average doesn't mean you have to risk all your savings to match up with other gamblers, doing that is gambling suicidal that you may not recover.
