461  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana (SOL) Where will it end? $80 21th DEC 23 on: January 07, 2024, 03:26:56 PM
It's best to wait until the hype ends to make your move. I'm sure prices will decline at a fast pace once this happens. SOL's been holding it steady at $100 - $110 for a while now. If it doesn't move any lower than that, SOL could achieve a new ATH by the time Bitcoin's block reward is cut in half. Things would be even better for holders if a Solana spot ETF is approved in the US.

What ultimately matters is not the price, but rather the utility of the coin. Solana needs to remain useful by focusing on security/reliability more than anything else. If the network remains stable and cost-effective for day-to-day payments, it will last a lifetime. No one can predict the future, so lets hope for the best. Just my opinion Smiley

People are move by emotions and Solana whales are very good at what they are doing. The price was originally triggered by aidrop by ANALOS and the euphoria part of the run was the special airdrop that was allocated for Solana mobile phones. Those who bought the phones back then in 2021 where giving more than $5k worth and that was how the pump gain attraction of many traders including the market makers, you can see that there no utility here but a revival of price so that the big players that lost money are trying to attract more liquidity so they can pull out their investment.

Bonk was part of the movement why Solana has pumped like this, there is no much total value lock up on the chain and this is to tell you that the team are not building and if they are, then they are very limited in numbers. The mobile phone was even a failure because it seems people didn't use the phone like how they expected and now, they are using these Airdrops as blueprint to make people to purchase the phone because of the airdrop.
462  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Seems it's alt season... Any suggestions..? on: January 06, 2024, 08:11:30 PM
Seems like the market is gradually waking up, and I believe now is the time to start accumulating your preferred alts to position yourself for the upcoming season.

Recently, I've added these alts to my portfolio:

$MOBILE,
$NFP,
$SNEk (a memecoin gaining traction).
$SWCH
$SILLY
I'm also considering adding $XPET soon.

Is there any particular one you would suggest for me to research on?

Fyi, got them on Bitget.

I am seeing this coins my first time. Did anyone make these selections for or you randomly went to the market and did the selection on your own? This are grade 0 altcoins that might die on the road, I'm not sure if this one's will ever get to the mainstream because I'm not even sure if this coins are listed on Binance, Okex or even Kucoin. Better you sell and redo another selection or you are stylishly promoting these coins because there is nothing special in this other than Meme, normal AI hype and dead NFTs.

This is just pre altcoins season, we are not there yet but expect more to come when we enter bitcoin halving and then after the halving, expect the bitcoin to make some moves and after that, it will remain stagnant and that's when the altcoins use to pick the race of alt season. Since there is still enough time to buy and hold some coins, maybe you should change the taste of your altcoins because the ones you choose night not even pump because they are not even popular.
463  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What if DEXs are banned in the future? on: January 06, 2024, 07:58:30 PM
Governments seem to come up with something new to prevent crypto from achieving its full potential. From cracking down on mixers and enforcing KYC across centralized exchanges, they aim keep crypto under their control. The only things they can't manipulate or enforce the rule of law (aside from blockchain networks themselves) are decentralized exchanges.

I don't think so unless there is a multiple report about a dex that allow scammers to swap hack coins within a pool and many times I have seen in protocols, if there is an announcement of a hack that happened in any of the chain and they notice that the hacker or scammer is using the Dex to launder the coins into another, they quickly pass a decentralized vote to ban the wallet. They are not doing it because of the government but they do it because it's not right for a person to launder peoples wealth and I have experience it myself.

Quote
But what if governments decide to hunt down the developers of DEXs? Or what if they estalish a law where developing a non-compliant DEX (no-KYC) can be subject to prosecution (jail time or fines)? If that happens, the industry will be doomed. With a US senator drafting the "Digital Currency Anti-Money Laundering Act of 2023", anything's possible.

What do you think will happen if DEXs are "banned" in the future? Will they die? Or will they still survive (despite the fact that most people will avoid them to prevent jail time or being fined)?

Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much. Smiley

Dexes are not even the problem of government because blockchain is transparent and it's an open ledger, even a person use a dex to carryout scam, they will trace that transaction further to the final point to where the coins end and if there is a conversion to fiat, that's where they identify the scammer.

Now the problem is that fiat doesn't convert coins to fiats, so its just from one coin to another which the government can track further and because it's centralized exchanges that supports this fiats p2p selling, they mandate them to forced KYC in everyone throat so they can know where money is coming and where money is going, Dexes can't be held responsible for such.

Hi, i do trading with capital 3$ spot trading no leverage.
Im using poloniex for this
I have experince over 10 years not actively traded all those years.
Going to be interesting
I want to see how i will do it in one week 2weeks and month and so after few months.
I Im in ADA now with 1$ of my capital 3$

I have STARTED now today - anyone knows how to get my poloniex PNL ? So i can show here my PNL

Speaking of which experience. You said you have a 10 years in trading and this is what you really want to be doing? If you have been trading like this and this is  what you want to bring to the table for what you claim to be funding" then I have to laugh and not just laugh but gag so hard, I'm not sure if there is anyone that will want to start with this, be ready to have your peanuts swap on exchange for fiat to buy youghurt and cheap, I'm just thinking in my head when you will want to make something that big.   Shocked

I'll give instructions when to sell and when to buy.
Yes all Will be according to my method because "retail traders" don't know this method that's used only by educated traders who knows how the markets really works and are in the right social circles.
So for few good lucky ones i give them opportunity to become real trader with real knowledge.

Your bad comment not really approriate here ...Im not scam here i will be providing my funds and will help someone who really want to be real trader educated so i feel good by helping the right person.


There is always a price to pay for something because nothing is free. What do you plan to gain from this? You can't wake up and say you want to educate people when yourself lack some judging by your first threas, I don't see you as a professional trader. If you want to do something unique, why not try Udemy because this will not workout as you had in mind, just my opinion though, if you feel otherwise then let the party begin.

If you are not a scam, then I have no grudges against your intention. The floor is open for participants and I will come back here for reference incase this turn badly as I suspected from the beginning. Enjoy.
465  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Anyone can succeed as a bitcoin trader on: January 06, 2024, 04:54:19 PM
Many persons have shared their bad experiences about trading in general, how they lost their funds, got into debt, even wrecked their finances. That's true trading bears such risk but that should not stop you from trying. In as much as there are successful traders you too can be successful in trading. It all starts with your passion, it has been made known by Napoleon Hill a popular writer, famous for the book think and grow rich, that desire is the starting point of all success.

I'm really not a fan of bear market trading, always with low volume with low volatility and when volatility comes back, the price usually shoot downward which hurt a lot if you open a long position. You can use the downward price to make money with futures with short positions but I'm not the type that love gambling with bets, I have use futures only few times and the experience was really bad, maybe because I'm not use to it but I don't want to try it again even in the future.  Grin I see like normal gambling I do on gambling platforms and I don't want to be doing regular gambling and be gambling with trades again in the name of quick profits.

Quote
Knowing how to trade would only get you that far, but not j to the realm of successful traders. It takes a whole lot of desire to win, persistence and consistency to be a successful trader. So I assure that anyone who wants to be a successful trader can be by pursuing with passion.

Also Statistics shows that we have more Bitcoin traders than investors. And this is because most persons prefer to take the short term benefit of trading the volatility of bitcoin.  Don't limit yourself to just being passionate about bitcoin. Start something with the knowledge. At least if your not into bitcoin as a means of payment, store of value, investment then being a trader could help.

Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 to you all.

My strategy may look like a person that is afraid of the market but if I ever experienced another bear market, I will skip trading for the entire month and focus on buying the dip, it's saves a lot of energy, a lot of emotional attack with the market that you have to use stop loss multiple times and those choppy losses can give you something if put in good use. If you are a trader or a aspire trader, avoid the market in bear market and comes back when the market is bullish. Is a simple as that but many people wouldn't listen.
466  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Im looking for funded traders to trade with my capital on: January 06, 2024, 04:28:23 PM
Im looking for traders who will trade with my capital and instructions.
You will be using my funds and trade according with my method.

Am I hearing you correctly or you don't know what you are saying? You want to a person to help you trade with your funds and you want him to follow your ways or techniques to trade with the fund. Wait a second, what is your aim in doing this? Are you ban from exchange or you are coming from a particular location that crypto isn't allow or you have money throwaway because I don't understand the aim and objectives of these your trading lifestyle. I don't want to assume you are a scammers right? Prove me wrong please.

Quote
Anyone interested ? And you will be paying my share every week to me or 2 weekly how i want.
You need to have some experince Im not gona teach you basics so i hope to find some good partners.

Thank you !

What experience are you talking about if you want someone to follow your method of trading, are you going to be giving signals or just tell the person to buy and sell. Something isn't adding up here my friend, you are either dodging something or you simply want to scam. Even if you are worried of exchange or ban from trading crypto in your country, I don't think this is a proper way to do the trading, if you are naive of what you are trying to do, then I want to pre-inform you that you will lose your money before the following day. It's either you retrace your move if you are scammer or a noob.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why are casinos adding sportsbook on their platform? on: January 05, 2024, 03:40:44 PM
because there are many enthusiasts and users of sportbetting gambling. so by adding sportbetting to their website, it will increase the number of users. with a large number of users, there is also a lot of money circulation. which in turn will increase the revenue of the gambling website.

If a casino companies has a reputation and a user base, third party some of the time make partnership with them to add sportsbook for their customers with a return on percentage base on the number of people that turn up, more users means the service is going to have more commission and the casino will also have increase in revenue and more people to play and more exposure to people that doesn't like the casino. Some people literally use Sportbooks only but with the partnership, it exposes other users that love sportbooks to try out casino games and that's a win win for the casino.

On the aspect of revenue, I think globally there is an increase in the number of people that do sportbooks than people that play casino. Literally a person who is a sportbooks will easily blend to love casino games but a person that love casino games might not like sportbooks and this why I think casinos have beginning to realize the potential money they are supposed to be making. The two combination is a big business.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 05, 2024, 03:33:34 PM
When a club is run by people who don't have basic knowledge of the world of football, then don't be surprised by messy management. The reason is that Todd Boehly assumes that managing a big club focuses on profits from sponsors, but on the other hand, the condition of the club, players, team management and even the coach looks in disarray. A wasted budget and Todd Boehly still thinks his decision was the right one? Chelsea ideal period has faded since it left Abramovich hands. Until now, it has been proven that in Boehly hands, we feel like we are watching the peak of a comedy.

You think Chelsea problem is between the management and not the players? I think this is the first time I have seen owner of a club so serious about his club since I have known Chelsea, the previous CEOs are always underground doing their other business and running the club concurrently but Todd Boehly is a serious business man. What I think they lack is real Manager that can handle the teams properly, the ones they have hired so far are quack and not professional and that mistake started since when they let go of Tuchel for political reason within the stakeholders.

What they need right now is new person that can coach those guys property, Pochettino is just there to amass his weekly payment, when the time is real and Chelsea want to do the right thing, I believe they will let him go and look for another person that will give the team the appropriate ingredients needed to make the team stand and looks strong with a good striker that will be giving them a lightening speed and goals.
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 05, 2024, 02:47:35 PM
There are people who are not good in predicting games but are very much interested in gambling and does ask for predictions from people who are prediction experts but one thing that some of them fail to know is that prediction expert does also make bad predictions on some occasions and shouldn't be held accountable whenever they fail with their predictions. So as a gambler, when you know you're the kind of person who will blame someone for your gambling losses, it's absolutely not advisable to take any form of prediction or advice from anyone whenever you're gambling.
If you can't quietly manage your gambling losses whenever you incure them, then it's needless to involve other people that you know you'll want to blame when things turns sour

We have so many of them here. Some females are now in telegram groups and Twitter looking for the next codes they can stake some changes on and expect win and even when they had no odea on how to pick good options, they win and that'd why they come back often times without numbers to keep playing because even the money they are using to bets is from their rich boyfriends, they don't gamble there own money but the ones they get as free instead of using them to buy hair and then later ask for another one, they prefer to best on them bit by bit until they make something out of it.

One thing I learn from them, they don't give up even when they do have a single missed from different accumulated games and they stick to a single bettor that give them games to stake. Whenever the person has lost, they get the same result and when the person has winnings, they also celebrate it together. That's how they continue to bets because most of the people they follow are very good in bets predictions even though they lost sometimes.
470  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 05, 2024, 02:17:42 PM
A Polygon-based gambling site allows gamblers to gamble on the outcome of the spot Bitcoin ETF application by some investors. Gamblers are required to choose Yes” or “No” bets on whether the Bitcoin ETF applications will be approved or not. According to a report about $1.5 million worth of bets have been placed and bettors are patiently waiting for SEC's decision. From reports it seems that the majority of gamblers believe that the SEC will approve so the majority of them choose yes.

I know that there are diverse bets on unconventional events like Miss World, the US election and even wars. But this one is new and I just want to know if you will be comfortable betting on the spot Bitcoin ETF.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-etf-approval-results-gambling-reddit-community

People really have money to throw for any clout and jokes. Is money that easy to get that people now throw on the street for anything or this is another way for the creators to syphon from the people because they know something about ETF approvals that we don't know? This is odd that we are using government to make money withing crypto industry, just trying to outsmart each other.

Now, what if SEC see this and place money on the NO and decide to reject ETF completely? I guess SEC will be the one to enjoy the millions of dollars people decide to throw down the street. In my opinion, they are not even smart to make this kind of moves, insider person from SEC can see this and do some underground staking when he is sure of the position of SEC and Bitcoin ETF approval and that person will definitely take home a huge amount of money, even the person with good intentions that brings the idea of this gambling might not make something big like that but who knows if this is even SEC groups that set up this idea to manipulate people.
471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Single or accumulation, which one do you prefer when it comes to sport betting on: January 05, 2024, 02:03:37 PM
I just wish to see people view about single bet and accumulated bet. Which one do you till can be profitable when it comes to gambling. Although I normally do the two but in most cases I prefer accumulated bet to single bet.

I can speak from experience that single bets has its own risk and accumulated risk is a combination of single bets. A single bets has a two options which is to win or to lose and as soon as the game is played, you are done and you know what's up with your result but accumulated bets has twice the amount of single bets depending on the numbers you have stack together. If you accumulate two single bets, you have twice the risk of a single bets and if you have three single bets accumulated together, you have three times the risk of a single bets and so on.

The one I prefer is a single bets, with this type of bets you can select an option and expect the outcome the pretty fast and if you win, you are good to go into the next bets but with accumulated bets, if you stack them together; it means you expect all go win and a situation where you predict all and the rest win only for the last one too fail you will be really painful you know. Though, to enjoy single bets, you must have a lot of money at hand to enjoy it so that you don't get tempted with urge to accumulate odds.
472  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: January 04, 2024, 06:42:22 PM
I don't think you understand the profile of the person we are talking about. You might want to read the op again to be in the same plane with us all. Actually it was stated clearly at the op's that the mentally unstable person could be obviously identified due to the dirty cloths he wore, with his unkept hear and beard. However that description would only mean one thing when ever someone put on that kind of look, it means he is mentally unstable, meaning he goes nut most times or he doesn't think like a normal human being.

If I'm the attendants at the gambling shop, my guilt will not allow me to attend to the customer because the description says everything about him. But if I'm to follow the rules of the shop, I think I have every right to serve everybody equally because another though that will come to mind my mind is that a right person with a disable brain will come to gambling shop to play, he must have the idea to be that bold come and play, it's even odd for mentally challenged person to what to bets, they will likey beg for money to eat than say they want to bet.

In addition, if he has been playing and doesn't show any sign that he is unstable, even with his cloth and ways of appearance and understanding gambling, I will live him to do what he want to do in the shop. Who knows if that's what make him a happy person. You never can tell, people that we think are mad possesses some strange abilities, don't be shocked if he win one day from gambling.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The is always on gambling, never the individual. on: January 04, 2024, 06:19:54 PM
The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

The heart of a man thinks like they will have to make money in every opportunity. When people see a platform that can give them money and they are warn about the risk, they don't bother to put the risk into consideration if it's worth it or not, the only thing they think is to make that money, it is after they failed or the platform take the money from them they take the risk into consideration and then they blame the platform for trying to ruin there lifestyle, not only gambling I have seen people cried like this. Even platforms that promised high return on investment, this is what you heard the victims cry about and it's because they don't know how to control their greed.

How do you act like gambling is the only place to make money to feed, cloth, pay bills and then you expect it to happen? You want to ruin down the company? Grin  You can't outsmart the gambling platforms and that's why they always emphasize on gamble responsibly but some of them want to buy cars, marry and take care of their families. How on earth is that going to work with gambling, no way.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shared games helped you before? on: January 04, 2024, 05:19:27 PM
Just as the title said I won't be consuming much of your time this evening and is just something I will like us to have a cool discussion, last year which is about months ago and there (is) was a friend of mine who is dawn routed in games prediction and has no money to be placing much bet on those game, so what he always does is call me and asked me to staked whatever amount I am pleased to stake with maybe if I win I should send whatever my mind tells me to do. Although he didn't request any specific percentage if the game plays since he fully understood the terms of gambling just as we all says that gambling is a luck base game or chance base game which you and I can't detects what the outcome would be.

How come he is good in making calls but doesn't play but give you to stake. Isn't that dangerous thing to do because I'm very sure that if he is that good, he wouldn't give you some of the games he is calling.
I also have a story to share with you. I have this guy that always share games with us one time on telegram, he would make some calls and dropped them and then we stake but guess what, he will play the same calls but do some tweak and probably add some few games and win but we always loss, it was later we found out and since I don't believe in share games, and when I pick interest to stake them, I make sure I edit them to my taste before I stake amount I can afford to lose confidently.

Quote
Okay, I started developing interest by staking some of his games he do shared about 4 to 8 consecutive time I keep trying his games but didn't work out, like no winning has been made and he kept saying I should try last more. It was then I got weird over his failing games and stopped after that day he called me and said someone won about NGN 60,000,000 which about $50,000 with a bet of $2. Some times I began to wonder whether is my fault for not keep following him or what maybe who know what could have happened if that kept having patient to play his predicted games.

Just say let me bring this here to see how many of you have been in such situation where you have been trying for long and the day you decided not to try luck the winning will come just like a magic. Have you experience that before?

I'm not sure there is a combination of 4 to 8 games is enough to give you accumulation of odds that is going to give you odds to equivalent 60,000,000 bro. Not even a 8 games to draw and definitely can't be with a $2, that's one of the biggest lies I have heard since I was born bro. However, if he says that he made a pick and wasn't specific about the numbers, the I will believe the odd accumulation but not the win cos $2 is just ₦2400 which is like ₦2500 x 25,000 odds =₦60,000,000  Huh Roll Eyes Roll Eyes No no. I'm done here.
475  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you see a gambling review website that has its own gambling website? on: January 04, 2024, 05:08:41 PM
I am asking this question because, for me, there could be a possible conflict of interest here.

As a review site running its own gambling site, there might be a concern that they could potentially undermine their competitors on their website to boost their own standing in the competition. This could involve making biased or false statements to praise their own website.

While I'm not certain if this is happening in the real world, it raises the question of whether you would trust a review website in such a case.

There could be a conflict of interest to down cast one company and gives favouritism to another. This is why I don't take reviews so serious particularly the ones I see from a single person. If you want to consider a gambling website and you want to justify them using a review, the best you can do is to check a review platform that allow everyone to drop their options and have a place where people can rate as well and should have a reaction stickers so that when reviews are dropped, any person that has similar experience can click on those reactions to stickers to comfirm that indeed it's true. That way an outsider can make conclusion based on the review and the reactions of people that has visited that page.

You can also make small deposit and find out by yourself. They say experience is the best teacher, so when you deposit small amount of money, you can play one game or two, wager simple games that does have high risk and make withdrawals, don't forget to also scan through the terms and conditions to see some red flags. This way you can do a simple review by yourself and then checkmate it with what others have said about the gambling website.
476  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: January 04, 2024, 05:00:49 PM
I know for sure that if we take periodic account of how many times that we gamble, maybe weekly, monthly or yearly, we'll find out that the loses are far greater than the winnings, so I sometimes wonder how we can be indulging in something that we lose far more than we gain, in the name of having fun. I know that it's human nature to want to conquer, defeat, control and be the leader, yet we go into gambling knowing that the system doesn't give us a fair advantage of achieving these aims, yet we're happy to go back and likely be defeated again.

You spit nothing but the fact about gambling talk everyone is afraid to say but then you generalized it. You can't say because other people that are after making money from gambling have more loses than profits and you generalized it for everyone. If that's true for everyone, I think a lot of people will say that gambling is nothing but a gambling scheme and even the government will disapprove it because they frown at anything that is scam but they don't because people are really making money from gambling if we take away the fun we often describe gambling. This year, I have seen a person that has become a millionaire through gambling and I have seen people that have loss in some games this year, so it's nothing new but that doesn't mean everyone has more loss than profits.

Quote
Perhaps deep down in our conscience, somewhere that we don't like to listen to, it still tells us the truth that the reason why we're going to gamble is to hopefully win money, not really to have fun.

I know that it's said that you should gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, but will you call it a true fun when you know that there's a higher probability of losing your bet?

I don't know about you though but I can look into my team and bet amount that wouldn't make me feel I gamble and I will never feel any remorseful of what comes after. We all have that amount we can afford to lose but it's relative to one another and trust me, even when money is the major reason why people bets, I have seen people gambling for the live of their team. A fan can be angry for the failure of his team because he can't brag but wouldn't react if he lost his bets.
477  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 03, 2024, 08:30:34 PM
Both casinos, offline and physical casinos can tempt many people to play gambling games. To be safer or unsafe depends on how people treat them because if they can control themselves, they can gamble in offline and physical casinos safely and comfortably. So it all depends on how people behave in using gambling. But seeing the temptations provided by gambling is what makes people not think about whether it is safe or unsafe because they only see gambling as a way to make money. That's what we have to avoid, and we must learn to use gambling well to prevent problems from arising.

The only difference between online gambling and offline gambling is the availability. Online gambling these days is very easy to fund, bets and win or loss without thinking twice of what to even do next while in offline gambling, you can go there gamble and win and get paid instantly or be told to come back to collect your winnings, you may even be asked to come back and see the owner of the casino before you even get your winning. That's the only difference I see about online and offline casino..

However, the only thing that can stop an offline person from playing is when the casino is not is not available for playing but as long as the casino is open, they will always play and may possess the same risk. Sometimes even if the offline casino doesn't open, they might go to another available casino to play. That's what I know some gamblers can do just to gamble one or two games. The summary is that as long as the casino is open, people will come.

A friend of mine only borrows money from other friends and deposits it into gambling and quickly repays the loaned money with gambling profits.  He has been gambling like this for a long time.  When asked he says his gambling is good and he enjoys gambling.  Gradually his gambling only increased.  So I think that Loneline actually increases the tendency to gamble and makes gambling more addictive. Because then they plan to win gambling and pay back the money they took from their friends quickly.  But they never think of losing side

Your friend is a very lucky gambler, most of the time gamblers that borrowed money to play don't make anything profitable from gambling. The fact that they lost all their money into gambling and has nothing left and think of an idea to gamble with borrowed money, they will definitely lost that one as well except for rare cases when a gambler doesn't have any money on them and they want to toss a coin to try luck from gambling to get one or two change but most of the time they do lost their games.

If you have a friend that gamble and clearly come to you with the intention of gambling and ask you for money, don't borrow them if you have the intention of collecting it back and if you wish to give them without collecting it back, then you can give them. They hardly pay back, I don't even know why a serious minded person will think of borrowing money and then go and gamble.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

Don't blame them, it's because of the type of Orientation they had that is making them see gambling that way. Some parents are very strict and instead of them to give their kids proper education and why they should avoid something, they will lie to them and give them phobia towards the it, hence anytime they see another person doing it, they see such person as the enemy, these group of people don't know anything about gambling and that is why you seen them acting like a typical people who just came out from a village that forbid something.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably

You are an adult right? Adult means to be mature and to be able to stand on your own without anyone and you are ready capable for the consequences of your actions. Whatever you do or want to do is not anyone business, it's your life. Gambling is a normal thing but the way people view it is different maybe due to religion which they see as a sin but anything apart from this is lack of education or awareness.

The competition for the Premier League title is becoming more and more exciting! Manchester City is showing incredible form in their recent matches, and I can clearly see their determination to succeed. The top four teams, especially Liverpool, are not giving up either. Aston Villa is putting in a commendable effort, making the points difference not as significant.

As I observe the ongoing race in the Premier League, it's challenging to predict which team will emerge as the champion. However, based on their consistent performances, my focus is on Manchester City and Liverpool. These two teams have a history of not giving up, especially towards the end of the season. With half of the season already behind us, the competition is heating up. On the other hand, Arsenal seems to be facing challenges, having recently won only one out of their last five games. The pattern they showed last season is starting to resurface, and it remains uncertain whether they can turn things around.

The only thing that is stopping Manchester City from overtaking Aston Villa is because of their outstanding match with Brentford but that will be settled very soon. I didn't expect them to have good form after they fell out of the table and because Haaland has not been active but now it seems Alvarez has took the show with Manchester City on his shoulder making the team proud. Now visualize how they are going to come back strongly if KDB and Haaland was to be active like he use to be in the last few months.

My only fear now about the Premier League is because of Arsenal, they raw 1 of their last 3 matches and 2 losses and this losses happen in a row, now it's difficult to describe the form of Arsenal. They are tired and need to change some players. I think they need more players so that Saka and Jesus can be bench when they have more important matches to play like the Champions League, it will allow them to be productive and have time energies.
