They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more.


True but does it have to be in gambling? To me this is risky.


The strategy -  We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.


This kind of business venture might later turn out bad IMO. Usually when you start such it can be sweet because of the gains that come off it but what about when you start making loses because in gambling loses will come too. So have you considered the legal side to this your newly found business venture. You have to understand in partnership you have to write down your agreements that you follow. It may be for the purpose of the world cup that will end soon that you have come together in such a way with your friend but incase don't always have things concerning money and business not put down in pen and paper because there is always a reason why that is needed, just so you can have proves and evidence.

For me it has a lot of advantages -

- it minimizes losses
- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.

Do you have a unconventional betting strategy that have been working for you? Do Share.

Truth is that all these are not advantage to that. You can do all those or restrict yourself off them as a single bettor.

Italy was not present in 2018 fifa worldcup either. Already we have 13 teams from Europe, so it doesn't matter if anyone is missed out. Germany too is going home despite beating Costa Ricca 4-2. Japan is showing great performance from day one, they have beaten top teams like Germany and Spain but failed to beat Costa Ricca that's something strange since Costa Rica is weakest team of group E.

Somehow I still wonder why Japan couldn't go pass Costa Rica but was defeated 1:0. However beating these two great footballing nations at same tournament is really a great achievement for Japan. You will wonder how this is possible but the Japanese players take advantage of athletic and gymnastic fitness and speed to outrun their opponents. I think it is a good advantage and you see them returning to defend anytime they lose the ball. It is a statement that they have made in the world cup against any opponent.


Football is now giving everyone a chance to showcase their talents, and no one stands out when it comes to a match or game of football, which is extremely entertaining.

This reminds me of the advantages of globalization. I think the benefit is now coming down with the upset that we have seen in this tournament and to say but few, just the first round. Perhaps we could see more as the game proceed. The benefit of missing up in the term globalization that footballers leave their country to play high class football else where is showing and it now drives home the fact that national team is different from club football. A club can decide to buy any footballer they so desire and cluster all world class players in one team but the case is not like that in national team.
3223  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Hypothetical crypto hypnosis on: December 01, 2022, 02:16:36 PM

This got me thinking, could one be hypnotised to do some financial transactions? Or


You should already know this that people can be talked into doing financial transactions they don't intend to, no I don't even mean a girlfriend talking the boyfriend over some financial transactions or the wife doing that to the husband but for certain times some partners in relationship can classify such spending as being hypnotized Grin when they can't give account of how they have suddenly become spendthrift lol. Seriously what you are saying is very possible and in Nigeria talking about this act, I have heard some stories where people came to their homes to take out valuable properties including electrical gadgets to give to strangers at the stranger's instruction waiting for them in a certain place. Some stories in same light involves emptying their bank account to strangers while some of these incidents were intercepted by neighbors when they see you could be acting not in your volition, so this is possible.



Maybe, have there keys or seed phrases exposed?
Account passwords and more.

Just some hypothetical thinking...
I will like us to discuss the possibility of this if it is possible at all.


I suspect this could be a green area for crypto scammers but it is also related to wallet hacking because the aim is to have hold of the wallet password or phrases by whatever means to displace owner. The ground information is we have to be cautious and careful when dealing with people regarding our finance both fiat and crypto.

Belgium the world highest rated side has dropped some big form honestly they have failed to win a game so far.

No, sorry information and correction. Belgium has won a match already and that was against Canada, it was scored by M. Batshuayi 1:0. This is the reason they have 3 points, you can check the table above to confirm yourself. You can do a check on your post after posting.
3225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 01, 2022, 01:10:16 PM
Interesting point table Group F.If Croatia and Morocco will win today then have no chance to qualify in next round for Belgium. Belgium must be win today match. If they will be point loss or share then they wouldn’t qualify next round.Belgium didn’t well play this world cup.Can Belgium qualify for super 16?what do you think?

Have you also thought of Belgium winning today's match against Canada by 4:pm today GMT? This group is still open to the three teams namely Croatia, Morocco and Belgium. It is only Canada that is out for now because they have lost all two matches and even with a winning today they can only find themselves in 3 points and that means Croatia and Morocco will qualify because they are already at 4 points each.

Lets take a look at Group F table for now


From the above table what Belgium need to do is focus on winning Croatia to get to 6 points that's if they can but my point is it is still an open chance for the three teams until it is over like we saw yesterday that Poland qualified just because Saudi Arabia "stealed" a goal from Mexico , the match ended 2-1 and butted Mexico out in group stage at the Qatar world cup 2022.
3226  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 30, 2022, 09:22:46 PM
It's the end to Group C and we have Argentina and Poland advancing to the round of 16. Although Saudi Arabia didn't qualified but they are the team that made this group very interesting to watch till the end. Today also they pulled of an upset when Mexico where trying hard so hard in the extras to find the goal that would have helped them to qualify for the next stage but Saudi Arabia's goal totally foiled those plans.

Saudi Arabia actually pulled the rug off the fit of the Mexican with the late minutes goal giving the polish an edge over Mexico because they were actually in same point with each other but now the polish is going to advance with Argentina on the group with a goal against. This is really jaw dropping for Mexico just when it could be considered a best loser between them and Poland. Football can take any dimension before the blast of the last whistle.

Iran ruined its chance to progress in the World Cup easily although they only needed a draw to qualify.. They weren't focusing much on the game, they let US players play freely in many opportunities. They missed easy goals and so on. They deserved to lose.
It can be because of pressure they carried. They had a chance to go through group stage for a first time that I am sure contains a lot of pressure on their shoulders.

In quality Iranian players are not better than the USA players so with that pressure, it's reasonable to see they played worse than what they can do at best. Last but not least, the USA have better record in World Cup and their players have more appearances in top five European leagues. The scorer for them, Pulisic played in Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea. I have no doubt about his quality and experience at world-class matches.

I didn't expect less from the host of 1994 world cup. After that tournament that US hosted, we saw outburst of their players plying their trade in top leagues including EPL. Currently, Matt turner is with arsenal, Zackary Thomas Steffen though not part of the current team in Qatar but is the Middlesbrough keeper on loan to Manchester United. The US team is far experienced than Iran but something is still missing in the attack, Timothy Tarpeh Weah (the son of the former world class footballer turned Liberian president, George weah) need more stability and confidence with the ball. Anyway, they may have tough team playing against the Netherlands on 3rd of December at the Knock out stage. I think I'm going on a bet for Senegal to beat English side on 4th despite not having their key Sadio mane.

This is a big blow to crypto community with the countries on this list and how much loses made. I hope the government won't begin a difficult regime that will affect exchange operations in their jurisdiction to protect their citizens. I'm sure Nigerians deal more with binance which is why it is not on the top list.

Is Binace exempted, are they not part of the exchange stuff's, Binance four or five years to come will also mess around with people's investment and bitcoin. It's just a prediction. History has shown before that big exchange's does that, I blame people they should have learnt from what happened to MT Gox honestly. FTX now has happened, they won't learn until Binance does there's again.

Well I won't doubt that, binance is a centralised exchange also. Not many saw this coming on FTX as reference to MT Gox. History most times is forgotten until it has again and some will regret, others will be glad they are lucky. The crash of FTZ is definitely going to change the dynamics of old users from leaving their coins in exchange to transfering to open source wallet.

I feel very uncomfortable now, my income is reduced, my life is getting more and more stressful, it is hard to be happy, the coins in my wallet are also falling, I have closed my physical store, and I don't know when the economy will get better.


This is pathetic and downcasting to hear but you are not the only one in this and that is one thing you have to know. The world is getting more difficult to live in as poverty is causing frustration and depression all over the place. People are taking their lives by themselves and that is the effect when someone can't survive this hard times. As for cryptocurrency and your hodlings, I hope you know that there have been prediction for more bear for bitcoin and if that happens, you know the situation of your coins will be more affected. You could either peg them with usdt.

Whatever that they say may not be far from what will happen but when it will really happen is what we should be conscious of so that we could take the kind of decision we want to take or what they advise. For example if we take the decision of trying to dump then it will be happening so early that the crypto market will crash far earlier than expected. So we only need to behave normal and do whatever we want to do as normal and live our lives and that recession will naturally happen then the economy will get back than dumping in panic and forcing the market bear to come early. It dropped in 2017 and it happened that btc later got to $64k.
3236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match on: November 20, 2022, 03:25:33 PM
First of all, to win a match you bribe an official, not a player, because unless you manage to bribe the entire team, even 1 suspicious teammate will bring the whole effort down. 1 official is enough. That was such a dumb news.
if they succeed in bribing a number of core teams of course it will also be difficult if Ecuador will not score goals let alone manage to bribe the main striker, I think that also has an effect, but again maybe it's just fake news and as hosts Qatar really plays well, no anyone knows the truth, all will be seen in a few hours when the game starts

Few hours more to for the match to begin maybe like an hour more to see how the games turns out but I believe Qatar is the more competent side to win the match, I would like to watch the opening ceremony. Apart from the rumours of match fixing, the opening ceremony is having many artists to open the event with their show of artistry.

Quote
“My plea to all of you is to think on a temporary cease-fire, for one month, for the duration of the World Cup — or at least the implementation of some humanitarian corridors or anything that could lead to the resumption of dialogue as a first step to peace,”-FIFA CHIEF



Having a fight free time for the world cup event is really a good plea if they are going to listen and have the seize fire. The seize fire has been coming intermittently before now during talks to see if agreement would be reached but unfortunately one of the parties don't keep to it but if this time, it is kept all through the duration of the world cup which is one month, it can allow the both government to have a rethink, compromise and reach out for themselves, it is possible for tempers to calm down . However sometimes it is baffling that we are talking about the Russian and Ukraine war as if it was a script of nollywood on war adventure acted on the soil of Ukraine. For God sake we are talking about war that human beings are killed on daily basis but taken as drama.
3238  Economy / Economics / Re: Russia To Legalize Use Of Cryptocurrency In International Trade on: November 19, 2022, 10:19:42 PM
What is surprising to me is the fact that Russia have come around to accept the use of bitcoin in large base to trade mostly during these times with war efforts and sanctions imposed. It is good, as it will ease the major world of the recession issues we are facing. I know the war is a contributing factor to the high inflation and scarcity of natural gas and other much tradables that have been needed.
The country has been known for its strict policies and this acceptance I feel will affect the rate or influence the crypto market if enacted.

Moreover this decision is not far away from the ban on the Russian economy because most transaction in Russia are facing this due to the war and that is having negative effect on them. They are struggling to balance their economy they have to encourage flow of financial transactions , making business transactions for the interested aligns to patronize at anytime because there are no limitation with bitcoin payment or third party agents.

It's one of those hot news, and you can find in almost all the Newspapers.

It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the wold cup opener. And this isn't weird to me, i mean if they already pay a shit ton of money to have the world cup in their country then we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.

If this news come out to be true after real investigation is done, this tournament will be the most corrupt of match rigging in my opinion. Anyway you said it looks like so we are going to keep our eyes open to see how the opening match will turn out because that will be the first text of rigging. I expect that allegations of match fixing should be heard towards the end of the world cup and not at the start of the tournament and the first game for that matter.
