Most times we are caught in between placing our bets on our favourite teams to win and not there present form, this action according to analysis shows that it's one of the reasons some persons don't win a sport bet, no matter how hard they try, a team that's not in form or getting the results shouldn't be on your sports betting slip, because they might continue the poor run of form and hurt your ticket, a friend once adviced me never to put my favourite team on my ticket, unless they are in form, am a Manchester United fan but most times I bet against them as long as my ticket is concerned I don't have a favourite team.
Well betting against my club is actually one of my favorite things to do especially when they are not in good form besides its money we are using to stake these games and even though many people here are of the opinion that they prefer betting for fun, winning that bet would aslo be counted as part of that form so you don't expect me to see fire and actually put my hands in it.

I don't know how legit or true can this news be. But if it is true, I won't commend NFF for it because we know how involved Osimhen has been in Super Eagles matches. Osimhen might have made a wrong move by coming online to disrespect Finidi George but banning him from partaking in the Super Eagle matches is not the right move. I think the NFF should have rethought its decision, now we want the Super Eagles to qualify for the 2026 World Cup
There is always a consequence for every action, but this decision taken by NFF is a very harsh one. But let's see how it goes. Before this issue escalated to the point where it is right now, they could have called both parties in order to caution them to stop the social media bullying.
 
With or without the Super Eagles, Victor has already made a name for himself. I'm just wondering what the NFF expects Victor to lose by banning him from playing for the Super Eagles, aside from the love and joy he derives from playing for his countrymen.
Absolutely stupid decision, I mean the man is already a big name although I understand that they have lots of players that can suit up for that position but still yet the decision isn't just a plus for Nigeria, if osimien actually disrespected the NFF or the coach then a better disciplinary actions should have been taking like maybe one or two match restrictions but for entirely not playing that I say is somehow outrageous.
43  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drake did it again! Another huge losing bet... on: June 23, 2024, 10:23:40 PM
I feel sorry for Drake not only for his losses because he can always regain that through concerts, sponsorships, and promotions but for how he became a notorious gambler and everything is recorded here on the internet imagine his children looking on the internet in the future and all they will see how he losses huge money easily I don't think his children will be proud of him on how he throws his fortune.
He should slow down on his vice or find a way not to hug the limelight by not posting his bets.
The family will only feel disappointed at him if he is not able to maintain his wealth to a point where the family will be on autopilot, not even lacking anything, but if the Drake family runs into some financial crisis (which I don't pray happens),
 
The family will point all the fingers at him, saying if he has spent money very well and on good things, the family could not have experienced such, but for the main time that the wealth is maintained and more status is gained, then that will just be a laughable one and nothing much serious will be said or picked out of it.
Of course, no one gets happy seeing a member of your family keep spending a lot and lose it all in gambling, that’s so irresponsible for that person. And Drake is never an excuse to that. However, for now since he’s still earning well and got to maintain his wealth, maybe he won’t notice that some of his money only go into waste. But maybe in the future, when his career will not be so high anymore and the high demand is no longer there, that could be the time that he will realize what he has been doing to his money. Of course I get it that Drake has multiple sources of income right now, but life sometimes can be more cruel when we are face with sudden changes, something that we don’t hold any of that.
From what I have gathered, I believe there is actually two things that ruins the life of man especially these so called artists or professionals and that's either
* Gambling
* Drugs

And for the case of drugs it comes with so many things attached to it like clubbing and womanizing. And these habits can fall even the richest man be you a billionaire or millionaire because the time you get so extreme with these habits even your mentality of doing positive things for yourself would be damaged.
44  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: June 23, 2024, 10:14:44 PM
A gambling expert brought i and some friends a guaranteed predicted game and asked us to stake a a high amount so that we winning could be huge and so we can give him a percentage of the money at winning.

I don't believe there could be a 100% guaranteed game but yet my friends who are eager to make profits in the gambling accepted to play the gamed as instructed and at the end of it, they all loosed the game and at then, the rest of us were happy because we didn't play the game else we would had loosed as others.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?


there's something I want you to understand in gambling because it's something that I know very well that has to do with different kind of opportunity so you might predict your gambling today and your win and they might predict your own gambling next tomorrow and you fail to win, so from my own understanding of gambling I know very well that for you to win in gambling  its not base on your prediction but luck, their is no expert in gambling prediction but you will make good from gambling when you didn't expect anything
The thing is that some persons actually feel they know the game very well and can give prediction that would give some person wining which for a fact is all false because their is absolutely no way you can give an accurate prediction on gambling. So many gamblers are just looking for places that someone would tell them this and that's why they fall victims to all these so called experts bettors.
45  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Recording gambling activities on: June 23, 2024, 09:59:50 PM
The only reason for recording gambling activities imo is to track how much is lost and to realize when to stop, when it is enough for this week or month. All other stats are so random and unconstant, that it is impossible to build any analisys on that. I hope everyone understand, that there is no win strategy from result analysis in gambling.
I remember when I was deeply into gambling, it was actually the records of the bets that I have placed that actually opened my eyes and view that my habits are actually getting of hands because if it was just me I was actually confident and okay thinking my habits are still okay but it wasn't until I decided to check the records that I knew something was actually wrong and I needed to adjust it.

~Snip
We haven't really seen any problems in Real Madrid's attack, so Mbappe will be just another player for Ancelotti to rely on in attack. This could make it even more difficult for Joselu to get game time, but that is not something Anceloti will be worried about. Mbappe quickly adapted when he moved from Monaco to PSG, perhaps a transfer to Real Madrid will happen just as easily for him, especially since he really wanted it.
So do you think Joselu will remain a Real Madrid player next season?
How confident are you about the possibility of Real Madrid making Joselu permanent?

The two questions above are based on Joselu's contract which will end on June 30 2024 as a loan player from Espanyol. Real Madrid is unlikely to extend Joselu's loan period from Espanyol considering they have already found their target player as a center forward. Joselu is more likely to return to play for Espanyol next season and it is a reality that Real Madrid does not want to extend his contract.
In a news I read, it was said that the purchase option would be used for Joselu. I don't see any sense in Real Madrid keeping 35-year-old Joselu in the team after acquiring Mbappe. I think Joselu should be sent from the team, he is no longer needed. His one season for Real Madrid will remain a fond memory.
Well I don't disagree because with the way this Madrid team is already filled, it would be definitely hard to find a place to start up but if I were the coach of Madrid and joselu seems to given or providing and delivering the service of which he was brought to the club then bringing him in as a super sub for atleast some cup games wouldn't be a bad idea but that too still depends on how he would cop in the team because for now Madrid is filled with a lot of players that to rotate the team itself would be some puzzle for the coach.
47  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: June 23, 2024, 09:35:55 PM
There are indeed some strong teams that will probably surprise all of us next season, but when Madrid has reached the final of course 100% I am very confident that Madrid will be able to get the trophy from whoever the opponent is in the final, this season the Madrid squad contains many talented young players who are supported by the experience of Kross and Modric so indeed their squad is quite perfect,   But with the arrival of Mbappe next season, of course, it will make Madrid a club that may be unbeaten in La Liga and the Champions League later.
Many people's expectations may be like that, but I don't think that Real Madrid will be unbeatable in these two competitions next season, because the arrival of Mbappe into the Real Madrid squad is indeed good for adding to Real Madrid's own strength on the front lines. However, Mbappe himself must also be able to adapt himself to the Real Madrid players and must not be selfish when he is there next season. I also see Real Madrid as a candidate team to win in the two big competitions, but in terms of being undefeated, I think that is a bit difficult for Real Madrid to achieve.
Real Madrid is not only lucky. They're smart. They build from within. They capture these rising stars like Rodrygo, Vinicius Jr., and even Mbappe. These guys are the future.

Its not just about today. Its about tomorrow. Construction of a winning tradition is the goal. You gotta respect that. Now, sure, anything can happen. Injuries, bad calls, you name it. But I know winners when I see them. And Madrid Real? They are mentally strong winners. Not just this year will they rule. Years to come, they will rule.
This was just exactly the same thing Barcelona enjoyed the period of their elite team having the likes of the Mysterio "Lio Messi" the two midfield genius @xavi and iniesta and so many players who were at their prime but the only problem they had was that they didn't actually plan ahead for the future because if they had they would have carefully looked and signed all these players replacement.

Chelsea at least finally realized that they can't just go around spending money like crazy on everyone they want, that is not a way to get better at all. To be fair, they have a decent team and only thing they need now is a good system to put all these players in. They also bought that star potential young player from Brazil this summer already, so that must be enough for them, they have so many young players with potential.

Now, put all those young players in together, with a good system and make them play together for a few seasons with that squad. I guarantee you, if Pep was there, he could have won the league in 3 seasons max, because teams without a system is the problem, they are just playing whatever they have, without having understanding.
This is the same problem that PSG once faced in the french league well for them atleast they were busy winning the french so I would say it worked for them but the thing is that their major goal which is the champions league was not won. Chelsea are already having a strong team in terms of player caliber but the poor management of the squad is what is pulling them back and I believe if they can find a way through this then their would be no need to actually splash more money on players.

Thanks for the update man

well personally I have since avoided the use of bybit exchange since because of the stupid behavior of most of their vendor's and seeing this am not surprised because I have had countless issues with many P2P vendors when was trading through bybit. Well for the scammers that are manouver the palmpay system I think the Fintech bank should find a way to solve the issues because the scammers could extend this cheat to other exchanges.
50  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which is easier, to quit when winning or to quit when losing? on: June 23, 2024, 09:05:55 PM
I know that as gamblers, everyone can relate to this question, as we have surely experienced it in real situations.

Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue? Conversely, if with our bankroll, we are down to $10, would you still continue or save the remaining $10? I used specific amounts to make it easier to discuss this situation. I understand that we all gamble with different amounts based on our income, but consider this as an example. You can mention any amount you want based on your personal experience; it doesn't matter.

Well for me I think it's always easier to quit when you are at a win than when you are losing because from all my experience as a gambler and I feel lots of gamblers too can relate to this, it's better than to actually have a target to reach when the winning spree starts and when that targets reach you simply quite and leave because if you don't you will definitely encounter the opposite and that time it's a lot harder to quit.
51  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: June 23, 2024, 08:59:20 PM
Leverkusen is one of the teams that is highly anticipated for their appearance in the Champions League, many people want to see how they will perform in the Champions League after they have performed well throughout this season. Expectations on them are getting higher and they must answer that with the very good performances they can show. Now is the right time for Xabi to show that he is a quality coach. And if he can successfully bring Leverkusen to do a lot in the Champions League next season, he will be a coach who will receive many offers.
Last season alone, Xabi received more offers to train other clubs, although in the end he preferred to stay at Leverkusen as usual. And this will of course make many people curious about Leverkusen's performance in the Champions League because the team is still coached by the same coach so there are many people who have high expectations for Leverkusen. Although I wouldn't be surprised if Leverkusen failed to win the Champions League because this league is a league that is very difficult to predict.
Xabi showed that he made the best contribution at Leverkusen which succeeded in bringing Leverkusen to victory. Their performance might be slightly improved because as we can see, in the Champions League, all teams have their own unique skills and strengths that are not easy to beat. What is clear is that I believe that when a coach like Xabi Alonso still gives full support to Leverkusen then there is still a chance to win.
Well what I know is that there is every possiblity that Leverkusen won't live to the expectations that they claim because I have seen so many team go up in their first season and then the next they didn't just plays as expected most especially in the champions league. They are so many team I can count @ Leicester city, Leipzig and even recently Napoli which they won their league with so much points but ended up not even qualifying for last season champions league.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread on: June 23, 2024, 08:51:33 PM
In my opinion in this group, Venezuela is the strongest and will finish at the top, in recent months Venezuela has been improving a lot, just see that Venezuela is in position 4 in the table for qualifying for the South American World Cup, this shows that They have improved a lot, while Mexico I don't see their performance improving

Even though Venezuela won and was at the top of Group B for the time being but I think that does not reflect their true performance or as an illustration of where they will be moored, because if you actually see the match, what made Venezuela win was because of the red card that Ecuador received in the 22nd minute, so that Ecuador gradually lost control of the game and it give Venezuela plenty of room to score goals.

If Ecuador doesn't get that red card and still plays with 11 men, I think the story would be different.
But even at that you still have to give them atleast some credit for actually doing well atleast for holding up the goal advantage, one thing is to score and another is to actually defend the goal till the 90th minutes, even if the opposite team has the higher and upper hand. No doubt that Venezuela are not the best team in terms of their game play performance but they have achieved what most minor teams cannot in their group and that's finishing top.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers👉Group Stage on: June 23, 2024, 08:45:07 PM
The last matches of the group stage started today. Germany and Switzerland play in Group A. The third place will be decided by Scotland vs. Hungary game. I still prefer to watch the Germany game, I think it's better to follow Germany as they are one of the championship candidates. They won't push themselves too hard today and Switzerland is a solid opponent. They shouldn't think that they are out of the group anyway, I think this match will be a good preparation before the last 16 round.
Germany already had a goal but it was annulled by VAR, Cheesy while Switzerland now has a one-goal lead their spirits are increasingly burning to win this match, but make no mistake there is still a long time maybe Germany can turn things around in the second half but what is clear is that Switzerland is more solid if it has led a goal.
I don't know about the Scotland vs Hungary match because this match took place the same, looking at the statistics like Scotland controlled the game it's just that they haven't had a shot on goal.
The leadership race is what matters now. Even if Scotland win this game, they won't be third best. Hungary must pull itself together. Scotland may have 4 points, in which case they may qualify from the group with the third best quota, depending on the situation in other groups. Although this possibility seems low, there are possibilities. In the other match, I think the big surprise is that Germany is 1-0 behind and Switzerland has a team that can maintain the advantage.

Well  I would say am not surprised because Germany that I know of has been struggling and I was even shocked seeing them win by that big margin they did in their first game because I have avoided them seeing how they have struggled in their past games but as they won I was kinda convince that they might be one of the strong contenders of the euro but seeing them struggling again I think am convinced about them.
54  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: He Used Our Wedding Savings to Play Bet on: June 23, 2024, 01:44:21 PM
Is it in that story that their wedding didn't really go through? Because, as a result of the story, it looks like the wedding really didn't go ahead because the money allocated for the wedding was gone. That's a bit sad and painful on the part of the woman because of the abandoned result because the guy thought it wouldn't happen.

From what I saw with the guy, it seemed like his only reason was that they might double their gambling fund, but the truth is that the man made it happen just to follow his passion for gambling and his greediness for gambling; he wouldn't have been able to do that if not for the addiction he has. It's really sad that there are situations like that that don't work out just because of vice.

If the wedding didn't go thru, then I guess, the bride is lucky as she learned her soon-to-be-partner about his gambling habit. As stated in the story, she called the wedding off. It may have some emotional stress on her, but look at the longer implications of his habit. What will happen when they have their own family already, and the last penny they have, her husband will use it to bet. She will thank herself if later on in their life, she will learn what the guy turned out to be.
But if the guy just gamble in occasional basis, like he thought he can help in increasing their funds, then maybe, she can have a good talk with him before they eventually push thru their wedding plans.

You're absolutely correct mate, the bride is indeed lucky as the wedding was called off else she would have regretted marrying a gamble addict/ irresponsible gambler. The story is emotional, I feel pity for her because, she made lots of sacrifice to ensure the success of the wedding, having contributed that huge amount of money yet the groom made her sacrifice worthless. Marrying a gamble addict is a mistake that will only end up in regrets except the addict quit his addiction. Learning to gamble below your risk tolerance as a gambler is very important because it will save you from lots of trouble.
55  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chased loss, got it back and lost everything. on: June 23, 2024, 01:22:06 PM
Firstly a gambler who finds himself in such a scenario was quite a lucky one but also greedy. Chasing gambling losses us something every responsible gambler tries as much as possible to avoid this is because not only does it end up ruin funds, it can also cause some sort of emotional stress in some gamblers. If you agree with me, there are certain persons out there that get soo fatigued and can even fall sick just because they ended up overthinking certain things. This is the main reason why as a gambler one is adviced to stake what one can afford to lose so that even if they lost the bet they won't be struck with such high and intense thinking.

Losing your money doesn't always brings happiness. There are some times after gambling the gambler will have mood swings, and the mood swing is dependent on the outcome of the gambling experience. After wining quite a good amount of profit, of the gambler eventually leaves with his profit, he is likely to feel excited through out the day. Making extra money is exciting but when the gambler runs at loss he might unintentionally express the anger to anyone who he sees as Borden.
56  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: June 23, 2024, 01:12:08 PM
Prediction in gambling is an attempt to predict the outcome of a match or game, so it is clear that prediction cannot be completely 100 percent correct. The results of a match or game cannot be predicted with certainty, so do not believe too much if someone directs you because of their prediction. Maybe if in a match there is match fixing or there is a bookie who directs which team will win, I can believe it and the possibility of it being true could be 100 percent. But I think this will be very rare because they definitely prefer to make a profit.
Usually gamblers will bet high on prestigious matches and rarely can the match be fixed, there may even be some supporting factors such as unfair decisions for players and the referee has favored a certain team, but generally this case rarely happens in big matches because all eyes judge every decision from the organizers and also assesses the referee's decisions. So actually there is no exact prediction in sports gambling and even slots, and any type of gambling, everything depends on luck and supporting factors from game analysis.

This is why the VAR( video assistant referee) was introduced to football, to help the referee on pitch to make decisions that are beyond his view due to the limitations of the human ability to have an all round view on the football pitch. However taking predictions from expect might increase your chances of winning but it's just predictions, meaning they could be wrong. Strange things happen in gamble and even games with high chances of winning could end up in loss. Though is you are close to a friend who always win based on his prediction you can ask for booking code but I don't advice buying or paying for predictions.
57  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: June 23, 2024, 12:59:54 PM
Wealthy people with large capital probably won't worry about losing because they have a lot of money reserves.
But their mentality will certainly be disturbed and always greedy to win in gambling.

They won't stop as long as they haven't won, it won't be easy to stop because they still have a goal for the jackpot.
And a person with such an addiction needs a lot of processes to be able to recover from his addiction, including the surrounding environment.

The funny thing is that no matter how hard they try or how long they keep on gambling with the aim of hitting the jackpot aslong luck ain't on their side they won't win they may endup losing more than their budget, that's why is always advisable to stop than to keep on trying with the expectation to the jackpot.

Trying to hit the jackpot by playing more than you ought to won't solve the problem. Luck come when it wants to, a person gambling for the first time can hit the jackpot while you that have been gambling for year haven't won any huge amount or bonuses. Those who understands that gambling is a game of luck are likely not to get addicted because they will definitely not gamble above their risk tolerance. Gambling too much would only lead to addiction and that will bring more loss and financial catastrophe

Gambling generally is centred on luck and that mean all we do is mere predictions. However it's only in sport betting that we use some of our experience to make quality predictions which might seem as though we are not guessing, and to be honest that what brings the fun from sport betting. But considering Lotto being a game of number prediction, it's obvious it's just guesses and nothing logical there. All those who think they've come to understanding the algorithm by studying and playing for long, they are only deceiving themselves.
59  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔥🔥🔥 BC.GAME - CASINO AND SPORTSBOOK | $1,000 GIVEAWAY LIVE! 🔥🔥🔥 on: June 23, 2024, 05:14:56 AM
I am curious to know how many dollars need to make a wager like 10,000,000$. I have noticed within less than 5 hours a play made a wager of $5,766,559.55 I am very curious to know how to do that. I think if I could make such a wager then I would lose 500000$ or win 5000000$. However, I do have not such an amount of funds to lose.

One Gosu player I know used to wager millions daily with a $10k deposits, more or less. He was playing lucky-based games with insane bets, have in mind that with a big deposit, you get big bonuses (he unlocks BCDs and asks his VIP manager for some bonus and they give him more locked BCDs). He is the only one I know of who has unlocked all the locked bonuses. Add to that huge daily/weekly/monthly bonuses... many times he shared that he had withdrawn some money and lost many times. Anyway, his wagering was incredible.

I participated in many discussions about this... $10k balance, $100 per ball in the Plinko game, and you will wager a million pretty fast. Let's not forget that luck is the most important factor here. Literally, anything can happen in the wagering session, you can wager $100k and bust your balance, but if you are lucky and have some good hits you can wager even more and finish the session with profit.
That's widely crazy man, well am not surprised as there are actually people with lots of funds like that and are really hard core gamblers but I don't think i can ever evolve myself to that stage of gambling, I mean it's crazy man, to be having such high staking power on casino games that are totally luck base is something else, it can happen that you lose out your entire balance within a short time or get lucky and hit a really huge win but with that type of funds and stakes I wonder what will actually give such gambler satisfaction to be called winning.
60  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 23, 2024, 05:06:48 AM
~Snip~
I actually agree that they should not have big problems because they are not performing in any kind of European competition in the upcoming season. They are only going to play in the Italian league matches. Even though it is going to be a challenge to finish in the top three or give a competition for the Italian league title, it still should be a challenge that they should do well in. From winning the Serie A to not performing in any European competition is definitely a big downgrade. But the good news is most likely they are going to perform better in the next season. Because there is very little chance that they will perform even worse compared to what they have done in this season.
Not appearing in European competitions allows them to focus more on Serie A. The smaller schedule compared to other clubs appearing in European tournaments must be used to correct all mistakes this season so that they can finish in a better position next season. I don't have high hopes for Napoli, such as being able to provide competition in the title race because their abilities cannot match Inter Milan or Juventus. It is likely that Napoli will try to do their best for next season, the players can also rest more because they missed the European tournament.
It's actually such a shame, because I could remember when Napoli actively won the league with so much points difference even before the was concluded now only for them to come back the following season and play this nonsense and it's just quite sad to see how they drastically reduce from a one time power house Napoli to something else I mean it's crazy man.
