Do you have the financial strength to stand against higher hands, if you don't then you should stick to the common sport booksmakers for your gambling as you will have a higher chance of making profits there with small stakes than betting exchanges. Unlike the traditional online gambling bet exchange are richly prone to tricks and the corruption of outcomes in the course of the events depending on what and who you bet against or for, which makes it for me a no favourable ground for small bettors like myself. These sought of character are very minimal with the common betting sites.

Yeah, you are right there no single society with no corrupt cops but just that in some it's so glaring when compared to others, and a lot of them do it with so much impunity because the system is so filled with the corrupted than the good cops. Just as someone told me years ago that there's no form of illegal deals and actions going on successfully in any society that the cops aren't aware of or playing a role to it success. And it's the value of bitcoin today that have marshaled some of corrupt cops in the country to divert their disservice of illegality to the uniform they wear to crypto users and holders unlike years back it wasn't about crypto.

I get equally sad for both the loss of my money and that of my favourite team am fond of, and as a fan it's quite easy to feel the two sides of the loss equally if you gamble responsibly by betting with money that you for anytime can afford to lose.

People mostly feel very sad about their the loss of their money for two reasons maybe, the money they spend on the betting for the team was much for them or it's either they don't really have any feeling of attachment to their supposed favourite team. Perhaps there is a stage in the competition that your favourite team has strived to get to, let say semi-final or finals stage and suddenly your team lost the game, as a fan somehow you will be touched by their loss even if you don't want to.

For a crypto user that values his asset, before having to use any exchange be it Dex or Cex it's important you would have read their operation policies like the ToS, which you have no excuse for not been in the knowing about it when you eventually shoot yourself in the toe.

I have read about people complaining of losing their funds because the amount of fund they deposited into the their account in the exchange they newly tried to use is below the exchange deposit limit and that was how that fund got lost to the exchange. But if they had read about deposit limit they won't have made that mistake.

On issue of p2p, the greed of a trader can land him/her into some loss even in a reputable exchange. There are exchange rate amount you see in a p2p trade that even without being told your instinct should tell you that that's a red flag when compared to all other rates. Then the percentage showing the trading record of the trader is another indicator of reputable trader. And most imperative, all exchange will always tell you, never send your coins if you haven't received and verified payment.

For your information unlike some of us not everyone will like to constantly share or apply on that @fillippone thread for his Quality post to be merited. And if you don't know, there are quality posts that have been summited there for over a month or two or even more if am not mistaken that haven't gotten merited and this is not because @fillippone is not attending to his thread on daily basis but because the number of submission per day exceeds him alone to deal with and as such takes a very long period of time for posts summited there to be merited.

And in most cases those posts could be there and still not get merited outside fillippone's thread. This sinto tell you that for a truth the number of members has exceeded distantly the number of merit sources in the forum and a need for new sources to be approved is now undeniably necessary. Just like someone above said, demand has greatly exceeds supply and Theymos need to look into this for an even circulation of merits across all boards.

Generally, in every sports platforms football fans dominates the numbers as it's the sport's with the highest number of fans world wide. Betting on this tournament for me is going to be right from the beginning to the end as I believe it doesn't matter at what position or time of the tournament you come in with the bets if you are going to make a win from the games then nothing will stop you, perhaps that's your choice and I think think am cool with that for you.

I just do believe that the start of any competition or tournament is where bettors can have a better chance of winning games as those bookmakers just like the gamblers are only speculative of each teams ability to perform tremendously in the first games based on historical performance so it doesn't put them ahead of the gambler in terms of how they would want to twist the odds to deceive and confuse the gambler into falling into wrong predictions by looking at the odds given.

I don't know if you get what I mean.

Majority of people that gambles do it for the prospect of making money out from it, and I don't condemn that if that's what they chose to ultimately make up of gamble neglecting the fun side, but what I don't support is when gambling is taking as a source of income that the gambler has to depend on it as a means to his financial ends. That is one main cause of gambling addiction because it breed loss chasing all of the times when such a person gambles making them  not knowing where and when to draw a line.

I enjoy the fun in gambling and also lurk in for the profit that could be made from a lucky win but as someone with some other reliable sources of income my pattern of gambling doesn't and can't make me a sad gambler even under a loss or a win because I don't take it as a source of living but as just some activity that by chance I can make money from it after a few reasonable loss.

Having a job is a panacea to loss chasing in gamble by gamblers because the very first reason gamblers chase losses is due to their acknowledgement of no hope of other means to get this money therefore if I lose it  now am going back to zero default which is why I need to chase those losses by all means necessary. But for a person that has a job, his mentality won't go in that direction. So a lack of job is really one of the main causes of loss chasing among gambler leading to addiction.

Very best argument in what sense, as in what makes all you have written as a statement to deserve an argument close to average how much to be among the very best arguments in the forum. We are not here about which or what is the best argument, so it's imperative next time you want to raise an argument based on your opinion you add substantive letters backing it up and not to speak on a surface level and expect much from it.

You can't just use such a strong statement that everyone is wrong about bitcoin and you didn't state who or the categories of persons that are wrong and why.

 If everyone is wrong then who's right to you because everyone just can't be wrong? And how is it possible that everyone from the genesis of bitcoin till date will all be wrong about their perspective of bitcoin? Are you angry towards bitcoin maybe you might have bought at a position close to the new ATH and now it's going low for the past days, and that's why everyone is wrong about the hypes? Speak up!

Football today in our society is like a religion that hardly you see a individual that is not a supporter of a football team, it necessarily must not be a well renowned team with a large fan base but just any football team be it a local or international teams.

Football in all essence promotes peace, charity and love among people of diverse culture coming together to cheer up a particular team they fancy or interested in, we saw all of that in the last concluded world cup where different countries citizens came together to wine and dine exchanging pleasantries, it's only football that can do that seamlessly.

As for the part of the jeering, dissing, and the jocking mockery between two different football fans, I tell you that's one of the many beautiful sides of the game when the tension in the middle of the ongoing match is built-up every fan wants to be by their team showing that pride, and it shouldn't be something beyond what have just explained. Anything order than this is just an unhealthy way of being a football fan, because after the game we still have to go out and empty some bottles of beers that how it ought to be fun fun fun.

It's as though there are new features that have been added into this very Olympic tournament as there are a few competition's
on the list I have not seen before or is it that am the one that have not been paying attention.

As a lover of football that's where my priority will dominantly based in then followed by table tennis and box but that doesn't mean others are not that interesting anyway.

The men's teams in the group stage the team's  am rooting for to qualify to next round are France, USA, Argentina, Ukraine, Sprain,  Egypt,  Paraguay and Mali. For the women's football, my favourite team is team USA and am sure they will be making it out of the group stage without huddles as they seem to be the best team in that group B followed by team France in group A who I believe are going to prove a toughest opponent to USA women in the course of the tournament.

Can't wait to watch all the football events as the competitions unfolds by July (edit)

At this moment the Nigerian government are not against bitcoin or cryptocurrency as the ban against crypto in 2021 by the former administration has been lifted by this current administration, the problem is just with those corrupt law enforcement officers (the police) that are using their uniform to intimidate, harass and extort crypto hodlers and traders of their assets if they notice you are  dealing in the currency or peradventure they do an illegal stop and search and finds a crypto related app on your gadget then you're screwed as they will coerce and intimidate you into releasing your coins to them. And  they make sure all evidence to their trace are whipped off.

As crypto users finding yourself in this milieu it's imperative you take your privacy to any trace of cryptocurrency seriously, if it's by freezing your phone when going out or having a different gadget that's not about your crypto business/trading/holding etc. I am sure with time the government will take cases like this seriously so as to fish out such corrupt officers from the streets.

We won't agree to see anything wrong about his action and that's because the outcome was a favourable one, he won and that's what every gambler what to hear. Justifying a stupid action because the results out of luck turned out to be fine is not proper. We should also look at the other side of it, how probably he lost it on staking that amount the story here would have been a different one but instead a lot of persons are praising him for taking an uncalculated risk

It's much easier to deal with the consequences of whatever happens if we take the decision to  cash out or refused not to under a well thought atmosphere than doing it out of tension. It is that spontaneous action that causes us the regret when the whole games does play after we might have cashed out a meager amount.

The hallmark of it all is that it doesn't matter if we cashed out based on prior plans or out of anxiety we just have to be ready to accept with no regrets the consequences that may follow and move on.

Op you are putting the cart before the horse and that isn't the right thing to do. I'll advise you use Satoshi and bitcoin as a practical successful example for your quest.

Satoshi Nakamoto first and foremost focused on completely building his project bitcoin and didn't divert energy on building a community for a project that isn't built yet, of which after bitcoin was created it in the course of time built the community for itself that we all are members today because we saw it is worthy.

Therefore if your project is a genuine one then you should focus all your resources into bringing it to a completion and if it's worth it then a community won't be a herculean task to achieve when your project is ready, with just a simple advertisement on socials media networks.

You  may not be far from the truth which is why if he's very serious and genuine  about his business and the quality of promoter's he's out for then he will be more than willing to put down something valuable for a collateral  that the influencer could bank on in the event that anything of the negative happens. It's just as away to serve as security in the partnership between them. We have seen a whole lot of ugly experiences and it all started this way so have to be careful and make necessary demands from certain beautiful offers online to avoid tenting their reputation.

Gambler tend to act too excessively careful with their predictions and  due to this they without knowing become confused and vulnerable to making errors that would cause them sharp losses. This condition moat envelopes gamblers when they are about to go in with a high stake that's above their usual staking amounts. The fears to lose such amount of money triggers bad emotions in them because they have lost control.

Cash out as not always an option in the right for gamblers. This is why before I bet on a game I decide ahead of time if it's for a cash out or it's till full time. Have seen where someone cashed out about $20 out of anxiety for a $500 game which eventually played, till date he finds it had to forgive himself. Unpredictability of gamble just makes the activity very unique somehow.

When the word investment is made mentioned of in the forum all everyone talks or thinks about is money investment into one project or another, and how to make profit from it after a short, medium or long term of investing.

Not more or less is discussed about self investment , in other words, investing in yourself, regularly adding value to yourself and due to how valuable you become this value in turn brings money to your pocket. For by learning  lucrative skills, striving to regularly improve on it you turn resourceful with a transformative potential to create and acquire a quality life in the future.
Self investment can't be overemphasized.

Talking about greed all of the time doesn't mean people will no longer fall for it, of course people must fall except there are no trades anymore but in as much as trades are made a portion of traders must fall into trade victims of greed. Everyone must not win their trades, an error must set in either by an act of greed or something else otherwise we won't have course to be treating the discussion all of the time.

Humans we are wired to seek for more after initial target has been attained and that insatiable nature is what create that greed in us while we trade and when a trader lack a conscious control of that innate inclination for more in his trading life you see he keeps making more losses than profits. Even in times he should make profit greed set in to take more and from taking more a collateral loss is incurred. Everyone of us has greed it is how we manage it that matters.

There are factors that plays a critical role in influencing the choices of people, factors such as the environment and the background of the individual. They all design our perspective about the world around us about why we have to make certain decisions that some other persons with an elevated background might view our decision about a situation as baseless and lacking wisdom in it, but to the next person based on where he or she's coming from, that decision he/she took was the best going by their worldview.

There are persons that don't worry about sustainable solutions to their plight all they need is that solution which could solve their needs immediately but when we see these sets of people we think them to be stupid but no they are not, that's their own life, everyone must not think in same direction. Some people think short term when making their choices while others think long term as the case may be, in all, life still goes on.
