As gambler when last did you self-examine your gambling habit to create that awareness based on how you are gambling in order for you to be quite sure if you're within a considerable or an acceptable range of a gambling habit that is void of addiction or the tendencies of gambling addiction.

Yeah it would have been necessary to do but the issue is that the moment you even think about this then it means your habits are still in check because I believe crazy  gamblers that are very wild with their gambling habits will never think about this because they even in a second tell their self that they need help. Well I suppose this is not for everyone because some gambler do need to access their habit because they can easily play past their limit even the one they have set for themselves.

Opportunity comes but once. An opportunity misused today may not be regain forever. This is why any opportunity that comes ones way should be used wisely.
This is an old terminology often used, which may be slightly possible to be true at all instances. Opportunities do come often, in a way that might also be different from the former experience. We lose some opportunities sometimes because of ignorance or mistakes we make that is the reason we always believe on learning from one's mistakes or another person mistakes.
Yeah I also agree, opportunity doesn't come but once as there are lots of opportunities that every humans get in their course for the journey of life but the only thing is that so Many humans are ignorant of the opportunities that comes their way and thats why they use the phrase because in all the opportunity they are might be observant of only one which by the time they learn to it, it's already gone.

Hunger is the major challenge Nigerian is facing now and this has affected both the rich and the poor as price of food is increasing on daily basis. Although the rich are a little bit leverage to this situation than the poor because irrespective of the metamorphism of the increment of the of price of food across the country they will still have some money to afford food stocks but the poor are left with no choice than the mercy of hunger and suffering. It's funny to see a country that is well known for agriculture as means of export going through this level of hardship and hunger.
When corruption and selfishness drives in the heart of men, what do you expect? A once giant of Africa is now on its kneel begging for help and making all it's citizens go through hardship and hunger. The hunger in this country has gotten to the point of comparing it to one of those nation out there that lacks so many things in the place of natural resources and others but yet Nigeria has all those things and yet still the country continue to suffer.

Manchester United have finally stopped the bad run. They had lost two games in a row and today they beat Everton with first-half goals. Both goals came from penalties. Garnacho's efforts led to the penalty. He was the first player in their history to have 2 penalties in a match, an interesting statistic. It's surprising that it hasn't happened before for ManU.
Everton have to be much more careful now because they are potentially in the relegation zone. They need to pick up points now or there is a big danger.
Garnacho was great for Manchester United against Everton, and his efforts helped Manchester United beat Everton. With this 2-0 win against Everton, Manchester United are back to winning ways after losing to Fulham and Manchester City in the Premier League. The absence of Rasmus Højlund in the Manchester United squad caused Manchester United to miss so many chances against Everton. 
Manchester united really performed well and especially gernacho the boy continues to show that he is a player of promising future and I think a couple years from now he will be so developed that he might be one among the elite players that will be contesting for the ultimate player awards. He is a rare gem and Manchester united should know this and learn to keep him in the squad because if he continues like this he might actually be called by another team.

the game between Napoli and Torino is almost ended.

Napoli need desperately to score a goal for hoping to join the race of the top 4.
However, Napoli doesn't seem to have the determination to do that and if the score doesn't change then Napoli will have to be willing to share one point with Torino. I wonder what's the point of beating Juventus the previous week to beating Sassuolo badly if they still can't be consistent until now and this is more like wasting an existing opportunity. I don't expect much from Napoli and this season they won't be in the top 4 either.

They can still be in the top 4 in the table, but the main reason why I also doubt if they can still make it is that they have already decided to share points with Torino, although the Torino defence was not very simple for Napoli to break because they didn’t give Napoli any chance, and all of us have that complete hope that Napoli will definitely win them. That is why Torino came prepared just to surprise people, and the results of today’s game will make us start doubting if Napoli can really still make the 7 points and meet up with the top 4 in the table. But with belief and hope, Napoli will definitely try their best to see themselves prospering in the game.
I think the issue that led to the draw wasn't even the Torino backline being strong but I think it was the inability of the Napoli strikers to make do of their plenty chances they had on the game and I can say its bad luck because that's how some weeks use to turn out for almost every teams in the sports so it's totally natural for the team to experience such thing. But that noted their performance tonight wasn't really a bad one but it's difficult to picture Napoli of last season now being top four contender for the champions league slot.
386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How your feels? on: March 09, 2024, 05:29:35 AM
I want to know how it feels among those of you who gamble using altcoins or bitcoins, basically the crypto you are using today has increased significantly, we know that in 2022-2023 coins that are small are not so valuable, and how does it feel today? Is there a little regret or do you not care because the money you lose in gambling is a necessity for you, so you don't care about the crypto you have lost in gambling for the past two years?
Somethings I feel are just meant to be like that so am not sure it's even okay for a gambler to start thinking about the amount of crypto especially Bitcoin that he or she has lost, some things I feel are better off left unknown and I think a couple of gamblers would agree with me on this same note. But the truth is that if you actually know yourself and strategies very well then you wouldn't feel much regret because it will be that every crypto or Bitcoin that you have lost is the sum of amount that was planned.

Next games look even easier to me. City was an easy one but Madrid was a big upset for many people who gambled on that game. I think Inter has been great so far and on a big roll, I think they will get a win against Athletico Madrid again and go to next stage, so betting on their win should be easy. Arsenal should be able to win, they lost the first game but they will want to get revenge and they will be at home too so I am guessing that there is a big chance that they could have an easy win.

Barcelona will be at home too, and I am sensing that things are picking up pace a bit, trying to go for that second place at league, and if they win here too, that will make it a decent season to be fair so I assume they will get a win.
The returning legs in these games will really be an interesting one and I think all the teams that lost in the first leg will struggle to actually get a win back so that they can win back the fixtures and I know that even the away teams would also love to qualify so the atmosphere will definitely be an intense one.

One team to look out for will be the Italian team (inter Milan) which are smoking hot when it comes to team performance and they were also runners up in the last season competition and with the performance they can still achieve another finalists position.
388  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: What if the Bitcoin was in note? on: March 08, 2024, 09:06:25 PM
In all countries around the world there currencies are all printed in paper which is called note though there maybe countries who still use coins till now. All around the world money can be misplaced maybe from your pocket, your hand or maybe your wallet may even get lost but still some people don't feel it when their money get lost because it's not that very high in exchange like in Nigeria where we have our highest currency which happens to be 1k and many other currencies like #500, #200, #100 and others most times we misplace this money and others pick it up with joy of having what you didn't work for but in this recent economy everybody has refused to lose money as usual ( laugh ).

What if the Bitcoin was in notes and with the same value as it has now, do you think anyone would misplace it or even walk with it on the street. Eventually you see a Bitcoin note will you return it to the owner. Let's be sincere and also see it as fun.
This question of yours is something and I will leave it at that because the first ever reason why Bitcoin has been this successful it's because it's an online money which means digital money although I think they are coins forms of Bitcoin but I don't think that's the area you are pointing out. The one major reason why the paper money is being tied to massive inflation is because it's actually controlled by some government officials.
389  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Do Not Pressure Anyone Around You To Invest In Bitcoin. on: March 08, 2024, 08:59:54 PM
I decided to bring this information to our notice here because of a particular event that happened today that I was opportuned to witness. I understand that we all that have been around the forum where discussions and informations about Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are made have taken the opportunity to invest and some of us if not all have benefited from our investments and it has positively affected our thinking because we now see the investment as something we can not do without. Even as we encourage some of our brethren to invest, we shouldn't made it mandatory as if they will have no other opportunities in life to become rich if they do not invest in cryptocurrency. Back to what I witnessed today which led to this information, a guy was busy blasting his friend in public for not investing in Bitcoin when the price was below 40k on hearing them from afar, I came closer to really understand why he was so angry with his friend I overheard him saying that he can no longer be taking care of him because he refused to invest when he asked him to. There are some people who may never be interested in investing in Bitcoin even when they see the need to invest I think the best thing is to ignore them instead of putting so much pressure on them for them to invest. It is not every one that understands the meaning of investing for the future I think anyone who's interested in Bitcoin investments won't waste time to invest regardless of the current economic situation.
Well said, and not only this too because I have also being a victim but my case is a little bit different because mine was about a lady who actually overhead me discussing with my friend about the profit he has made through Bitcoin especially now that the price is running wild like fire and after we finished the call, the lady seem interested and asked me how do she invest and was asking me questions like how many weeks before she starts seeing her profits of which I lost interest to start telling her because I don't want a situation where someone would point blame at me.
390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I just woke up and saw wins in my gambling app on: March 08, 2024, 08:52:21 PM
Every time I placed a bet, I make sure to monitor it since I’m also watching the game so I don’t have any experience with it and I don’t think its luck, most probably you’re just too busy checking with your bets. This could result into a different scenario especially if you use bot in gambling, better to monitor closely your account and make sure you don’t have any pending bets at the end of the day, by this you can also have the opportunity to take profit in time.
Wow that means you have all the time to actually check out and follow up with your bet? Well that's a totally different case for me and besides I think that even comes with stress and emotional disturbance especially when you have high hopes of the game playing out the way you want it. Well before now I was also deep in checking my bets and follow the games but it seems some teams and games I play are just too crazy so I decided to let go of that habit.
391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: March 08, 2024, 08:47:33 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?
 
Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.
I don't know if there is an accurate measure to actually access the number of persons addicted most to one particular type of gambling as I believe the different types of gambling all have their fair rate of gambler addicts but if we are to narrow it down then I think football will be the highest as it's the most popular and even the most watched sports so it's definitely will have more addicts.

It is best you gamble when necessary not because you want to chase your loss and win back you money, many are victim of this circumstances and for me is a bad practice and this might make you not to employe your gambling skills and roles because you inhast in your decision making. What is your opinion on this?
This is something every gambler knows but some persons still choose to be ignorant to heed to the warning. Gambling is something that can turn from 100% happiness to 100% sadness and confusion in a matter of some seconds and thats if you play gambling for the purpose of making cool cash. When gambling is played with intent of making steady cash then the gambler will by all means be a gambler that would want to chase his losses.
393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction on: March 07, 2024, 08:04:29 PM
Of the many who answered who was indirectly affected by gambling addicts, the average answer was those who were close to the addict himself, whether it was family or friends in his neighborhood, maybe for family it must be clear because they have blood relations and other things like that, including friendship.

The funny thing about friends who are indirect victims of gambling addicts is that when someone who does not know gambling but hangs out with gambling addicts, he will be said to be a gambler too by residents, this claim often occurs in environments where gambling is considered very bad, including in my neighborhood, even though that person does not know gambling at all but is also labeled as a gambler because the gambling addict who has been recognized by residents hangs out with him.
Plus sometimes the act can actually rub off the person who doesn't know anything about gambling but seems to be comfortable with the addict himself playing these games and that's why some people tend to labels these friends as gamblers themselves because I know one thing for and thats the fact that you can't be hanging out with a gambler everything and actually not get influence to get involved in the act yourself especially when the gambler always tell you about his winning and never release the loses that he faces.
394  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 07, 2024, 07:51:00 PM
Do you guys think that Aston Villa will be able to recover after the lack cluster performance that they had a little while ago?

What I understand is that the coach is really good and he has done really well to bring any great results. But when you don't have the best squad, you are only going to be able to do so much before you start having problems. But I still think they are performing pretty well. And they have shown great improvements. Even if they can finish in the top four, ahead of Tottenham, it is still going to be a big achievement for them in my opinion.
Without doubt for sure, that would be a very big massive achievement for Aston villa because that would automatically mean champions league football for them next season but it's not going to be easy because the fight for that top four is like the gladiator showdown and only the strong survive so that last performance shouldn't be something that will give them cause to flop because if they for one minute lay low another hungrier team will gladly take their place in the top four slot.
395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: March 07, 2024, 07:44:57 PM
It would be a shame if Leverkusen unbeaten record ended at the hands of Qarabag, if this really happened then this would be the first defeat they have received so far. I am very curious about how Xabi Alonso got out of the pressure in the second half, and of course the intensity of Leverkusen attacks will increase in the second half because they want 2 goals. If Leverkusen loses, their chance to qualify for the next round is still open, because in the second leg Leverkusen will act as hosts at BayArena.
Maintaining an unbeaten record is not always something a club can maintain. If the current situation is that Bayern Leverkusen has lost by 2 goals and the score cannot be equalized until the referee ends the match, then Xabi Alonso is forced to accept that his record of never being beaten so far ends in the hands of Qarabag FX. With the time available now and as is their habit in every match, maybe they can equalize the 2 goals they are currently behind.
And once again they were able to atleast maintain their unbeaten run and salvage the game at almost end of the match and this is definitely the characters of a team that's going to be champions. Bayern Leverkusen and Xabi Alonso have achieved such a great feet by maintaining this unbeaten run this long and i believe if they continue like this they will definitely be champions of the Europa league and I think the only that can contest with them would be the English side LIVERPOOL.
396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Massive withdrawal of Bitcoin on: March 07, 2024, 01:15:18 PM
Anytime the price of Bitcoin skyrockets, there would be massive selling of Bitcoin and this practice(s) have always lead to the price of Bitcoin falling back afterwards. During the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs, it was observed that the massive selling of Bitcoin when the price got to $48,000 made the price to fall to $38,000, it was after the corrections that the price began to soar higher again till now that it has set a new ATH of about $69,210 and immediately, massive selling and withdrawal of Bitcoin was also noticed.

Wouldn't this continues practice of withdrawing and selling off whenever the price skyrockets going to slow the volatility of Bitcoin to continue skyrocketing? Since the price automatically starts experiencing a dip after every massive withdrawal.

You already have the answer in your question. Why did so many people sell bitcoin when bitcoin reached $48k and then caused bitcoin to drop to $38k, but why was bitcoin able to reach $69k so people kept dumping to let bitcoin go down again? In just a short time bitcoin has increased from 48k$ to 69k$, doesn't that prove that bitcoin is rising? What else do you want from bitcoin? Want bitcoin to go from $69K to $1M without any drop or dumping?
Obviously he knows why and I can see that he has already given the answer but some persons aren't as experience as others when it comes to the Bitcoin market and that's the reason most persons panic and sell off during any small pump of Bitcoin, while others that have witnessed such stage and phase before will just have to understand and adjust by buying more and moving their coins to non-custodial wallets for safe keeping so to avoid story that touches the heart.
397  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How to Make a Quality Posts in the Forum on: March 06, 2024, 10:11:37 PM
Making quality post in the forum is pretty easy if you ask me, because at first you would need to know exactly what is meant by the term quality and since quality has to do with personal opinion I believe the general thought that covers this, is just making sense in whatever information you are trying to pass and one thing you can't offer and contribute what you don't have upstairs so before ever anyone should think of making quality post, reading and research should be properly done to further equipt this person in making quality or good posts and reply that would be useful and helpful in the community here.
but even at that, you have to be good in your area of study so that you can use some of the terms when it is necessary in your writing. We should not just abandon our areas of specialization because there will be a day that you will use some of your teams to write. Though the forum is not for all the fields but there will a time for your to use a term from subject area. And also yes I agree with what you have said that to make good post is not hard but before it will be easy for everyone is when you read and practice what others have written and develop your personal own from there.
For me I think the lack of members to actually read and comprehend what is being talked about is the major reason for all the difficultly in making good posts or reply, communication is done effectively when their is a mutual understanding between the encoder and the decoder so in a situation where the encoder does or writes something confusing the communication has been chartered because of the lack of writing skills and I also agree that using of terms is a welcomed idea but to keep it simple for the audience to understand I presence basic terms in which even the simplest reader can decode the message am passing.

Only 1 goal scored for Haaland and Real Madrid still 0-0.

What is happening?

By the way the aggregate result for Real is still 1-0 so they are risking of going to extra time.

Real Madrid have to score at least a goal to stay safe. Until now, I find them less threatening in the attack and Leipzig might surprise them.
For Manchester City, they are pretty much safe since the first leg, yet they scored 3 goals against poor Copenhagen.
So far we have Bayern Munich, PSG, Manchester City and most likely Real Madrid in the next round and definitely tomorrow's games will be more interesting.
They already won their first leg so even if they draw this game it will still count as victory for them although I understand the reason why they need to win because they definitely need to play safe as football is very surprising sometimes and Leipzig could suprised them and eventually score to take the tie to another level. I don't why but Leipzig even in the first leg seem to be much potent that real Madrid but Madrid are a big team and know very well how to finish the job.

Snip

Right. The problems of drug addiction and ludomania are very different for families with different incomes. For the rich, it is easy to solve such a problem, they will easily find a good clinic, they will easily close the debts of a relative dependent on games. And in the end, everything will be fine if the gambler himself wants to fix his life for the better.
But for the poor, such a problem is very harmful, because they have nothing to cover the debts of a troubled relative, let alone afford expensive treatment.
I know it's easy for the rich but it's also dependent on some factors too even if the person is rich because the sole decision I believe lies on the gambler or addict himself because most addicts don't know and fail to admit also that they are addicted when it comes to gambling or drugs and if that kind of person is offered help he might definitely return to his old habits because he isn't ready to let go .
