Those who bet according to the predictions of those sites or platforms are the gamblers who are constantly looking for profits and have taken gambling as a mean way of generating income,  instead of just gambling for the fun of it,  like you said in the first paragraph of the thread that some have good games analysis skills and could forecast a game and it comes through as winning,  this set of people will always fines fulfilment in they gambling engagement.

And for sure,  what will be the fun in gambling if one has to depend on a third party to make the predictions or game selections for you,  gambling is for fun since no one can be certain to make the right prediction that will give the winning at the end and that is why there is need to gamble with what we can afford to lose and not take gambling as means to generate income.

The overall idea may not be far from that, raising money to support the bereaved family and that is why it close friends that come together to organise such games or events, this is some form of age-mate meeting and even without the games,  they will still supply the family of the bereaved in other ways.

In this part of the world, that kind of game is not popular but we still have some other activities that are done in the form of such games but not betting anyways,  in in form of friends coming together to raise funds to support the bereaved friend and family.

That is the truth,  is very well in place to take a step back from gambling anytime one is emotionally unstable and this is far from being expert or skilled in gambling,  as long as you have the right frame of mind,  whatever decision you take at that point may leads to loses because you have an out of control tendency which may lead you to make decisions without proper check of the risk and what outcome awaits it may be,  take for an example when a gambler goes to get drunk go back to gambling in that drunk state and trying to recover from the loses he earlier incur.

At this stage, he will not be able to make the right decision on his game selections which will definitely affect the outcome of his bet.

My brother,  no too blame that your friend because you have even experienced how private sectors treat their employees,  you go pity them,  and at some level, you may even be tempted to quit the job just to save yourself that embarrassment from the job.  

Just as you stated already the job was not paying well before and that is the reason you left,  but he remained on the job until he was promoted to a higher place which is normal and neutral,  but you did not ask what really leads to his quitting aside that you are told that he left because of the way the boss spoke to him, that may be just a layer of the real truth and only him in person can tell you the real truth of what happened while on that job.

I think at this point the ban is just a DNS level ban as only the exchange websites are banned,  but their apps are still working,  and also aside from binance whose p2p and other naira services have been affected,  other exchanges are still serving Nigerians at the moment and everything seems to be fine for now,  but we can tell what will happen in the coming week as the war against exchanges are being intensified so for sure we need to prepare for rainy days and entirely stay away from CEX for now for the safety of our investments.

Arsenal was able to seal their game today and which is a good point for them the achieve trying to sustain either their third position or possibly make it to second or even first as the case may be,  but then it all depends on what becomes the reality of tomorrow game between Manchester city and learn Liverpool which is a most anticipated game for this season.

From tomorrow we are going to know whether or not Manchester City could retain the title for this season,  or possibly lose it to Liverpool because this match is a strong factor that will point us to what to expect in the remaining season.

The thing about self-examination and restriction is that they save you a lot of stress and possible loss because sometimes you can be over-gambling and at the same time the ability to put a stop to it at some point,  what I do mostly and each week is to time myself to see how many times I have gamble beyond my limits.

And if I discover that I have gambled too much in a week,  I put effort into staying off gambling totally for a while and then resume back with a limit that is lower than what I used before.

Well the case at most cases is that many of those who chase after a lose is as a result of some things like when they borrow money to gamble with or when they are already in high lose and wanting to recover from that,  and not being able to hold back and watch the loses slide away.

The best way to prevent such tension is to always keep in mind that gambling is a game of chances and while you are at that you should just take it as something to pass time and not make money from,  if you have such understanding,  it will be hard to see yourself taking a particular directions.

The reason may not be far from countries' internal gambling regulations,  some times the regulations in various countries differ and at most it reflects how casinos allow access to those games based on their location.

But also note that if it be allowed in one country location and in the same casino it then means there is a low probability that you are breaking their rules and at that should be punished in the future.

But then also the best approach is to reach out to the support to hear what exactly the casino rules are towards such VPN usage.

I think it an insane pattern of thinking to say that gambling will favour the gambler more than the casino,  just note that gambling should be taken as way to get entertained and anything other than that is a departure from the fundamentals of gambling,  because there is no way anyone can win over the house because at each stage you have to map out a lot of things such as your winning chances and how best you can make use of your luck to take advantage.

Before you gamble just be ready to lose all to the house,  and having such a mentality will help you not to gamble more than you can afford to lose and also not to class any direction be it losses or winnings,  just have a boundary to everything,  just trust your instincts and move.

Yeah, this is a crazy situation but an absolute pointer to depart from overreliance on CEX,  but is sad the approach is harsh on the citizens who may lack the knowledge of decentralization.

Most crypto users in Nigeria are majorly traders,  who buy and sell coins,  the set of cryptocurrency users in Nigeria make up for the large total volume coming from the side, and only a few have the basic knowledge such as how best to secure your coins in a fully decentralized manner.

This is not the first time an ugly event and pronunciation like this will happened,  and each time the government got the approach wrong.

First the government have a game plan and that is why their lifted the ban on cryptocurrencies recently,  and if everything work out for the,  government may approve direct bank cryptocurrency transactions,  which in that way it will give the access to tax crypto users in Nigeria,  although this may work to so a certain level,  but won't solve the problem of revenue linkage in Nigeria.

The big question is, what are the ratio of control and accuracy in the decision to end Nigerians access to cryptocurrency exchanges,  because just like when the government ban twitter,  Nigerians we're still able to use the platform through other means like VPN or so.

This will not be different from that situation also,  and if care is not taken,  the outcome of this authocratic move will bring more negative impact on the currency and inflation in the country,  because many cryptocurrencies related businesses will relocate to other friendly environment.

Charles you are right,  this blockage was part of the first order given by the government and it was immediately carried out, For like two weeks or a week now,  I have tried to use all the cryptocurrency exchange websites and none is working currently,  and I know it may remain so for as long as possible.

The government is taking every measure to climb down on in registered exchanges,  and the bad side is that the money the government places on exchange licenses is huge and almost impossible for individuals or institutions to meet up with anyways we always have our way around and we pray that all this end in our favour on the long run.

First how and you know that the whale actually sold his Bitcoin,  just because by just saying that the Bitcoins were moved from the wallet to an exchange does not signify that he sold out already,  because he may have moved the coin there for any other possible reason that could have been the reason.

So for the above reason,  there is no way we can know what and how far a whale has gone with his bitcoin holding either he wants to hold them on the exchange instead of his personal wallet that has been left dormant since 2010 that was stated in the article posted.

In my region,  the growth of Bitcoin ATMs have not been visible recently unlike in the last one year when some citizens and members in this forum from my local board shared news about a new Bitcoin ATM in their locality,  but lately there have been a lot of financial crisis in the country economy where the government is closing down on all medium of exchanges within the economy so at the moment the development is kept on low key since the government come after any available bitcoin ATM in the nearest future

I have not visited this site so I can tell categorically how their services are but then this casino caught my attention since they launched the signature and a few members started advertising them,  but then also I agree with the fact rhat if the feature of the casino are user friendly and the act in accordance with acceptable ways of operation,  in no distance time they should be able to build the needed reputation and presence here in the forum.

But overall their have started we'll in terms of their marketing here but then also if time permit them and the have the necessary budget to support that effort for a long lasting time,  that way ther will generate alot of engagement and trafics,  one of the other suggestion is to run a review campaign because doing that will bring in real time players directly from the forum and also they will be mandated to give they first hand review about the casino which will help a lot in the future.

Tonight's game was a very sad outcome for AU Nassr who was very close to lifting this season's Saudi Arabia league after putting up some good performances and also having some of the best players on the team,  but seeing how the we're defeated with 3 goals to 1 against a club that is considering the status of the AI Raed who were not up to the standard of AI Nassrr but was able to win them with multiple goals.

The decline performance from the AI Nasser was not just in this match but also in the last few games their performance have declined significantly and to the point that smaller teams in the leagues are beginning to take advantage of the loss of consistency in the season.

Really Real Madrid have struggled all through the season,  even when their don't concealed defeat their will mostly draw matches which is some what not too good and totally not bad,  but then Real Madrid can do more if their have best hand on ground and best their are making attempts to bring in new players in the next season when Mbape will come on board the teams.

I believe that Mbape will be perfect fit to replace the former players positions,  that have affected their performance in the last two seasons.

The availability of all those things have harm the society alot and this could be said to be the hight of the disadvantages of the internet and smartphones,  it opens us as users to so many opportunities and freedom to have access to so many things without stepping out of our homes and that gives alot of privacy,  but this freedom have been negatively used and the impact on under age kids is growing at an alarming stage and if care is not taken this may consume the future.

This have not only impacted under age gambling alone,  but also even in the way kids behaves and tends to act in a indecent ways lately also speak volume to the negativity of this tool,  and this trigger the question in me,  whether if the parent's have failed in they responsibility or the government have not don enough in terms of cyber security.

Well you can send a reminder to the email again and the confusing thing is that, the team did not give any specific timing as when they will respond to such requests or if the will reply to your email also.

But regardless I advice you send a follow-up reminder and wait a bit and keep an eye on this thread to see if you could lay your hand on anything eventually from the team representatives here in the forum.
