Quote from: Agbamoni
A friend of mine sent this message to me. How true is this? Using money to bribe the Angola team to perform better and win the competition.

~
Angolan bank, Banco Keve promised to give the Players $9,600 each if they beat Nigeria.

Angolan diamond company, Social EP promised to give the team $250,000 if they beat Nigeria.

Angolan Player, Gilberto says they will beat Nigeria at the Quarter Finals. He even boasted that the Super Eagles are not a threat to them.

Infact, an Angolan bank, BAI gave each Player $6,000 for beating Namibia 3-0 in the AFCON Round of 16.

A Telecoms company, UNITEL, as well gifted each Player an iPhone 15.

In case you've forgotten, Angola denied Nigeria FIFA World Cup qualification in 2006.

Friday is the day. Lets see what the outcome would be.
I wouldn't call the money that some companies in Angola, promise to give the Angola team " bribe money'', instead it should be motivational money, to motivate the team players of Angola to win against Super Eagle. Other countries do that, Angola is not the first country to do that, and neither will they be the last to do that. Our country Nigeria did that in the last AFCON.
I also think same with you. The money will surely serve as motivation to the players, but will their capacity defeat the Super Eagles of Nigeria? that's the question here, and will they promise them another money after defeating Nigeria?

All these promises are to encourage them, and I don't think it will change anything that has been destined to happen in the match; Nevertheless, I am in full support of the Nigeria Team because I trust the Super Eagle defensive line.

Quote
On Friday will be a payback time for the Super Eagle to lash Angola for denying them the 2006 World Cup qualification. If the Super Eagle should lose, fine. If they win much better. We have seen how Egypt and Senegal got kicked out of AFCON so soon.

AFCON this year is full of many surprises that we can't predict which country will win in a given match.
Predicting match outcome in AFCON tournament this season is difficult, which shows that the competition is intense, and the African football has improved.

I wrote today that I expect Luton to play well, but I didn't expect them to be able to cause Brighton serious problems after only the third minute of the match... I don't know if Brighton can do anything after such a start, but I hope for a goal from them...
Luton Town this season has become a team that is very strong at home, they are always very difficult to defeat that was why I confidently bet on them to win because I know they will give a shocking result even though Brighton won their last two matches against Luton Town. Based on their respective form in their last three matches, Brighton is not consistent while Luton Town won their last two matches.
Its 4-0 now, Elijah Adebayo scored his first Premier League hattrick this season, Kudos to the team, they are playing very well.


Arsenal finally gets a goal after being the dominant side and with the many chances that they were able to create. Jesus scores the first goal to avoid the criticism for missing the clearest chance of the game that Arsenal had to score before they scored the first goal. If Arsenal gets a win in Nottingham's Forest home, it will be a big record for them because it has been long since they had a win in this stadium. Saka scores a second goal from an Arsenal counterattack with his right foot, and that gives Arsenal more confidence and hope that their victory has been cemented.
Thee match ended 1-2 in favor of Arsenal, Arsenal were able to get another three points that will maintain their title chase, they cannot afford to lose any match because they know what Manchester City and Liverpool are capable of doing. Nevertheless, this win has boosts Arsenal's confidence, they are now two points behind Liverpool before Liverpool play their match tomorrow against Chelseas.

So, I would love to ask and get this confusion over with. Is it ok for you to purchase items with Bitcoin? If yes or no, please state your reasons so we can all learn from it.
It is ok to pay for goods and services with any currency you have available if the seller is willing to accept as a means of payment. Taking bitcoin this special by some people is because it is a digital currency that is yet to be completely legalized globally, and many people also wants its global adoption, if not it is just the same as using your money for payment.

You main question in this aspect is because Bitcoin is a digital currency that have potential of becoming globally accepted, and the amount of bitcoin you are using to pay your goods might worth 10x more its current value that is you are curious and asking why spending the bitcoin instead of fiat, but the truth is that, you can only use what you have to make payment, if you only have bitcoin, then you have no choice than to use the bitcoin you have for payment.

Envisioning the digital tech deeply the thoughts of privacy have died away for wants to track criminals. The privacy never stayed, staring at the responses above me. Not Trying to complicate the thread, was there ever a certain day where the network was private and people staying truly anonymous and untracked?
People are anonymous in the blockchain, only your transactions are tracked, no name or identity is attached to your wallet, therefore no one knows who own a particular wallet unless if it is a centralized exchange wallet. According to the overall story, Jimmy was caught after sending $800 worth of Bitcoin to centralized KYC exchange, which means since he stole the Bitcoin, his bitcoin wallet address was under watch list, but nobody knows the owner of the wallet until he made a transaction to a centralized exchange wallet that reveled his identity because if the KYC he submitted in the exchange. This is another reason to avoid CEX.

Things are become harder than before and arbitrage opportunity is end. Manually process become automated by trading bots which are more faster. Popular altcoins won't allow you to doing arbitrage manually. Cause most of people always keep their eyes on for opportunity and bots are always ready to grab the chance. You can try with undervalued altcoins where you'll see price difference cause they have less volume means less people are trying to make profit from that altcoin. But it'll be risky too cause they can dump a lot
You are right, Arbitrage trading is not more profitable like it used to be that is why people are not doing Arbitrage like before.

Many exchanges are having similar price range because almost all the exchanges are making sure their price in the market should look very close or similar so as to discourage or end Arbitrage trading.

To benefit from Arbitrage trading, you need a good capital, and you will always be ready to take the little profit.
366  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why do many people fail in trade? on: January 29, 2024, 09:52:58 PM
Many who have just learned one month to one semester they give up and no longer want to trade, please note that naturally fruitful trees are trees that grow with a long period of time so that they can bear heavy fruit and can provide benefits for both the owner or others.
All the people that learn trading for just short time are learning it just to get quick money with what they will learn; if these types of traders lose money, it usually happens because as a result of incomplete learning, and maybe because they are eager to make money without proper learning.


Quote
Don't give up quickly in trading, there are many mistakes that you have to take lessons from, walk slowly and with principles in trading with risk management that you can control and not overdo it so that you can take advantage for yourself.

Focus, be consistent, learn from your mistakes and think that building an empire takes time.

What are your additions to understanding the learning time for someone who is learning to trade? I think sharing here will benefit those who may be close to giving up in this field.
Mistakes are part of learning and part of life; we can always make mistakes due to us been humans, therefore, little mistakes in trading are normal provided it is not a costly mistake that is done to ignorant.
Learning never ends, consistent learning keeps us up to date, and as a trader, you need to be learning regularly so as to avoid mistakes.

It's very easy to spend money we earned than saving them because we cannot be completely done with budget needs, however, there are wants and needs from our budget plans, we must also administer the way to properly manage our asset in other not to waste them on what are not going to be profitable on us, another thing is to help the source to our income by making efforts on additional source in other to have alternative or backup, so that the income will be sufficient enough for both savings and expenses.
Exactly, knowing the difference between wants and need is very important when you are trying to save some money; you will be overlooking your wants and focus only on the needs so as to save some funds for future. To achieve that, you have to avoid peer pressure because that is one of the main reason young people don't save money, they will always be looking at their colleagues so as to have all the have as well.

You also need another source of income, depending only on your salary cannot make you become rich, it will always be either you are satisfied with what you have, or the money will not be enough for your needs, because of that, you need extra source of income to be able to save and plan for your future.

Being held to a draw in the first half didn't make Dortmund lose their way and they managed to win the match against Bochum with a landslide score of 3-1. As hosts, Dortmund certainly cannot embarrass their fans and therefore they must win with an additional 3 points. If we look at the statistics, Dortmund completely controlled the game with 63% ball possession and 6 shots on target. The result of the shots on target resulted in a hat trick for Fullkrug and he was the best player in this match.

Bochum was only lucky when they got one goal from Dortmund defender Schlotterbeck's suicide and the rest Bochum was unable to do anything. These additional 3 points are very special for Dortmund because they can return to the top 4 and Leipzig's previous defeat made them move freely to this position.
This is a must win match for Dortmund because their fans will be angry if they lose to Bochum because their last two matches were draw.
These three points are very important for them because it will keep boosting their performance; this is their third consecutive win in a row in the Bundesliga matches after going five consecutive matches in all competition without a win, this win has helped them moved to the fourth position in the Bundesliga table.

If Dortmund can win all their next five Bundesliga matches, they will have more confidence to challenge for the title even though we know that Bayern Leverkusen are the top challenger.

It is really difficult to understand Marcus Rashford. He has been inconsistent over the years. For example he had a wonderful season previously. Under Erik ten Hag's management Rashford also played a significant role in Manchester United to start fixing their problems. His performance played a really good role in his team to join the Champions League as well.

But now we see a Rashford who has lost his way.  Sad  He doesn't look very keen on finding it either considering his general performance level so far. While he is one of the most crucial players for the Red Devils this is making a bad impact on the results.
He absolutely loses form, but he won't acknowledge it. He has been an important member of the Manchester United team for over four years; in fact, he and his teammates helped the team win a trophy last season while playing for United under Ten Hag's directives. However, this season appears to be different for both him and the manager Ten Hag because the team hasn't yet achieved a general balance in their play.

Manchester United has also started making effort towards securing another Cup as they were able to win their round 4 match against Newport Country, this performance will give them more confidence towards winning the cup since they are sure that they will not win the Premier League this season.

The match between Nigeria and Cameroon is a tough match for the season right now but nobody knows what Nigeria they performance will be tonight so I believe that Nigeria may draw the match or Cameroon mighty win the match so therefore this match is not something somebody can predict fully that Nigeria will defeat Cameroon because Nigerian team players the way they are participating in this season their victory is based on luck is not based on their performance so I want us to predict before the match will kick off if Nigeria is going to win the match or Cameroon will be the one to defeat Nigerian
Nigerians will want the Super Eagle to win, while the Cameroonians will also want their team to win. We can't say for now, but Nigerian Super Eagle should be the favorites to win the match unless if something happen which is normal in the game of football. Betting the match both team to score will be good for gamblers but Nigeria to win will also be a good one.

Angola 2-0 Namibia
HALF TIME
Angola with only 10 players in first half, they managed to take control of the game and provoked Nambias's defense to cause them two yellow cards for Haukongo and draw the number of team players for 10vs10 once again and balance things.
This second half we can see an obvious total defensive strategy from Angola to maintain the score, with a counter attack technic for a chance to score the third goals and kill Nambians hopes.
I must say that this first 1/8 finals match is so entertaining and Angola is the first team going for next stage with 99% chance.
Angola has almost secure their quarter final ticket, they are now winning 3-0 even though Namibia is playing the ball well and dominated the game.
Angola will be waiting for either Nigeria or Cameroon.

Leverkusen's next five Bundesliga fixtures include Borussia Monchengladbach, Munich and others, if they were able to win all these matches, then we can conclude that they can win the League since they defeated the defending champions.

I think the deciding match will be against Munich. Xabi Alonso is a great coach because he was able to bring Leverkusen to first place in the Bundesliga. And the big challenge that Leverkusen must face is the match against Munich. If Leverkusen is able to win that match, I think as you said they have a big chance of becoming champions. Even though their performance looks like Arsenal last season, I never thought like that because we know there is a big difference between the English league and Bundesliga teams.
Yes, their match against Munich will be the deciding game, but anything can happen before then since Borussia Monchengladbach will also want to win in order to give relegation zone more points gap.
Considering Munich's inconsistency in some their Bundesliga matches, I am still tipping Leverkusen to win them because Leverkusen was able to get a point away from home against Bayern. Xavi Alonso is performing well more than Tuchel this season, I know it will be very hard tp predict who to win the League, but it is going to be a tough competition along the way.

I'm surprised at how complex people think this match between PSG and Real Sociedad in the Champions League knockout phase will be. I was initially of the opinion that PSG would have a better chance and probability of winning the match than Real Soceidad because of their experience in the competition and the big name quality team they've been for many years.

Your thoughts on how Real Soceidad has gotten to this point, how they were able to eliminate some big clubs in the group stage of the competition and also make it to the top four spot last season, are something to think about and give them hope that they will be able to beat PSG. At this point, all I can say is that the match will be extremely difficult, and that the team with the best strategy employed in this match will win.
When it come to the Champions League football, I don't consider PSG as a big team with big name anymore because of several disappointments they have caused in the past. They will be winning first leg with hope of finishing the stage up with some outstanding performance in the second leg, but they usually gave a bad performance which usually led to their elimination in the tournament almost all seasons. This season, their players are not too good compared to some previous seasons back, they only have Mbappe as a star player, that is why I don't expect them to have an easy game against Real Sociedad that has an outstanding performance in their group stage matches.

Yea, bayern leverkusen behaves like arsenal of EPL no doubt but I don't think that it will be as usual this season, if we are to put recent events into consideration, I will say that Leverkusen deserve a kudos this season, there previous match with Leipzig made me to believe that this team is heading somewhere this season, I never expected such a come back in the second half of that match, bayern leverkusen displayed a good performance in that game and they won, as it is now, I don't see bayern leaving any stone unturn, sure the game of soccer can be tricky most time but in all the checks been done, bayern has a great edge this season because of prepared and serious they are in their gaming.
Bayern Leverkusen are playing like Arsenal of last season, but their performance sure pass Arsenal's last season performance since they were able to go 18 matches without losing any match including their match against the Bundesliga defending champions Bayern Munich. Dortmund and other big teams in the German Bundesliga.

Leverkusen is currently leading the Bundesliga table with 48 points, four points ahead of the defending champions Bayern Munich; I am seeing them winning the league this season because they are putting too much effort to make sure they secure their chance of winning the league as they are winning almost all their tough matches.

Leverkusen's next five Bundesliga fixtures include Borussia Monchengladbach, Munich and others, if they were able to win all these matches, then we can conclude that they can win the League since they defeated the defending champions.

The champions league will be back by next month,and the different teams that qualified from the group stage will face each other again.It is a period when we get agitated about the clubs that will win,and the clubs that will lose,but there is one team i'm tipping to lift this tittle,either Manchester City,or Real Madrid.But if those two teams should go to the finals,then Mancity will win the league again making it two in a row.
They have their best players back from injury now,which are  Debruyne and Doku,these two players are really important to City at the moment,and their presence in a match final will give them an edge over their opponent.
The two team can both become semifinalist according how the draws were scheduled, I don't know if they can become finalist. But any of them can win the Champions League since they both have experience and have quality players in their team that are capable of making things work for them; nevertheless, that does not mean that any other team cannot become the Champion this season. There are teams that might surprise us this season because they are very serious and have young players in their squad that can defeat both Real Madrid and Manchester City.


Serie A is difficult to compare with the Premier League or La Liga, where the competition and level of teams is higher, but in the last Champions League, Inter proved that they are capable of reaching the final, maybe there was some luck in this, let's see how they repeat it this season.
I agree with you that serie A is more difficult than premier league because of the competition, I believe the reason why is like that is because almost all the club on the serie A has the same performance as others which makes it very difficult for all the team on the league and in a case like that it will be very difficult for a club to be consistent because they can easily be brought down from there position.
In what way is Seia A better or tougher than Premier League?
I know that Seria A teams have more Champions League experienced players than some of the Premier League teams but the competition in the Leagues are not the same. Premier League is difficultto play compared to Seria A in my opinion.

Without Salah, Liverpool still advanced straight to the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea. The Kop have reached the final match of the Carabao Cup for the 14th time, at least four times more than any other team in the entire history of the tournament. They are also the most successful club in the Carabao Cup, with 9 cup wins. They are facing the opportunity to increase their achievement to 10 when they are only 1 match away from the title. The opportunity to win four, including the FA Cup, League Cup, Europa League, and Premier League, continues to be open to coach Jurgen Klopp and his team. Will this season, a more pragmatic and practical Klopp's Liverpool achieve the achievement of winning many crowns?
Its not really good result for Liverpool without Mohamad Salah, first match in Premier League Liverpool won bigger score without Salah over 4-0 but second matches in EFL Cup semifinal they have got draw. But advantage for Liverpool won on first leg match and qualify to final match against Chelsea after winning aggregate 2-1.
Seems Mohamad Salah will absent for several weeks later after latest confirmation from Jurgen Klopp Salah got serious injury with his national teams, Liverpool has many crucial match next month not only in premier league but also have to play in Europe League and without Salah will make them loss bigger opportunity for winning all matches left.
Yes, he is an important player in the team therefore, his absence should affect the team which we have started seeing in their last match against Fulham which they narrowly qualified with aggregate which is due to their first leg performance. I know they can battle Chelsea to win the final because by then Mohammed Sallah will be back from injury, but the main problem is their next premier league and Europa League matches. Without Sallah, they can play well but they cannot perform to their peak due to his absence, and it will equally affect their title challenge because Manchester City and Arsenal are fully back and will be willing to push the title challenge as well.
