461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 03, 2024, 07:07:50 PM
The match between Sheffield United and Aston Villa already started. At the start, Sheffield United started well, both teams are playing Attacking positions, both teams have kind of same match position. Although Aston Villa already had two shots along the goalpost but Sheffield United's goalkeeper turned it back. But the third numer shots could not protect by their goalkeeper and as a result Aston Villa was able to successfully score their first goal. John McGinn scored the goal in the 12th minute.
Edit-
owh What I am seeing that Aston Villa make another score in a short period, I did not thought that they will able change the starting performance that fast from 12 minutes. Anyway, I am thinking now that Aston Villa will make more 2 goal and win.
Just in 30 minutes plus Aston Villa has already scored about four goals in the game. Am not surprised that the match went this way because i know Sheffield United do not have what it takes to win Aston Villa. They are indeed a relegation team. I dont see them as a competitor in the premier league title but as a team that can be an obstruction to those teams who are on the race for the title. If they are able to secure a draw in any match they are contented. It seems that they will ho for relegation by the end of this EPL season followed by some other teams that are the bottom of the table.

However i am predicting that the result of todays match Aston Villa against Shelfield United will end up a 7 goals plus. Giving Aston Villa a upper chance in the race. Using high goal points as a hedge over other teams in the premier league table.

Football is so weird or sports in general can be so weird. In one week Aston Villa gets destroyed in a home game against Newcastle United and everyone thought that it would be the other way around and Aston Villa would probably dominate the game and beat Newcastle with a 2 goals gap or something like that. But then they lose that game big time and now they lead away from home with 4 goals while Newcastle United loses a 2-0 lead against Luton Town, falls 4-2 behind and then equalizes the game again. I have no idea how to come up with well-considered picks anymore! Cheesy
Thats football for you, there is never any certainty to what can happen and that's why I don't even put hope on teams. Football has so many scenes that one would be surprised to how it happened and that's what makes the game so interesting to watch and you would ask yourself why is it the most watched sport and this same reason is among the reason for it being so. After Newcastle going two goals down, I was certain that there is no way back and then it all changed and Newcastle turned the tide around.

I did enjoy the moment Super Eagles played bravely and dominated the game from start of whistle till the end.
Osimhen was very impressive in his air challenges and I wished he did have great dribbling prowess like Ibrahimovic and can take on defenders one on one.

Perhaps he was being more careful and did as coach asked him to, else, he was well fitted in his role as striker and made way when he needed to and that's what created the opportunity for Lookman to net in the ball from Simon once the  Angolan defender moved with Osimhen out of goal coverage.
and when they started the game I saw the Angola team dancing ahead to their victory that shit was hilarious and even with all the money they were promised all gone with all the excitement going on, I was actually impressed with the way Nigeria played at some point it was as if they were getting more ball possession than Nigeria and also their attack was becoming dangerous. and Osimhen did a great job in term of attack and even the second goal he scored I still do not believe that that ball is offside. but they tried but it did not work at the end of the day Nigeria still won the game and after tomorrow's game, Nigeria will know who they are playing against. and the young man is full of energy With the level thing there is hope that Nigeria might even win the AFCON, their level of commitment is high and that is what we need as a team and football has been something that has given us joy for a very long time. and when Osimhen was mistakenly kicked in the face I was hoping nothing would happen to him, if not the AFCON, will become challenging. nothing was actually wrong.
Nigeria indeed have hopes of actually winning this AFCON title, I mean it's been too long they even came out champions of Africa, one would think that as the most populous nation in Africa it would be a breeding ground for beautiful and wonderful talents but the big corruption in the football association won't let this size advantage to be used. The AFCON this year is looking more and more like it belongs to Nigeria because almost all the tournament favorites are out and with the way things are now it's very clear that Nigeria is actually the best team to win this.

I would go further and say not just social media, the whole internet is filled with scams and if you see an article or blog that is praising a project particularly then it can be a paid ad just created to generate traffic and this is done by most preferred news platforms too in the crypto market. When you want to trust your money then you need to do it on your own which needs necessary knowledge which comes from doing the research on our own.
I agree that's simply the best way one can actually help their self because if you are to follow the rating and praises from any social media website on a particular project then you might probably just get yourself posted in a really tight corner that you might find it really difficult to come out from. An example of such places would be the ratings from trust pilot, I know for sure to an extent that most reviews and ratings on that site are all planned and rigged.
464  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Don't be tired of hodling that potential coins. on: February 02, 2024, 10:58:11 PM
Greetings my fellow Naija people,  I know that many people are about to give up in that potential coin they are hodling for some years now hoping that the bull run will happen last year, but I bring you a strong hope to continue hodling that potential coins because bull run is no longer far from you if you can endure till the end of this year. If we are talking about the potential coins in the market, we must mention BTC before mentioning others coins in the market because majority of investors in the community are hodling huge amount of BTC either from the ones they made from signature campaign or using their local currency to buy from the market, don't be tired of hodling that BTC because, what will happen soon in the crypto market will shock people in this community but it will be for the good of the hodlers.

 I believe you are still hodling your potential coins? If you are not hodling, you can try your best to ensure you buy to be part of those that are still hodling so that when time come, you will be part of those that will rejoice.
To HODL and not panic is really hard and that's why it's always advice to have a keen job to substitute in for the place of your daily spending because some times like you said we must have pinned a specific target to the supposed time of getting something tangible off our investment but at the end it turns out differently to how we actually planned it because the market volatility is something that no one fully understand so what we have to do is just to hold and keep pushing it.
465  Other / Off-topic / Re: Before you start gambling, do some research first on: February 02, 2024, 10:52:54 PM
The person is working hard and spend the money he earned on gambling and he is not moving forward but stagnant like someone that has no job. That is enough to be a good lesson for him. If you still see that he continues to gamble, let him know that the ending will not still favour him. He will be regretting and thinking that he can still make money from gambling thinking that his strategies might work, tell him not to be deceiving him than not to gamble again until he has control over it. Gambling budget should not be more than 1 to 5% if his weekly income. If he is not gambling for fun, he should not be gambling is the best.
That's literally how everyone who is new into gambling thinks well atleast the one's that really don't see that they are diving into a deep pool that will make them get twisted  and at end up ruin their life. Gambling is supposed to be enjoyed and anything other than that is totally a death trap so if I were the one that continue gambling and nothing seems to be showing for it then it probably best to actually stop the act and focus the energy elsewhere but that seems to be hardest thing to do for some gamblers.
466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe visiting a seer or spiritual house could make you win a game? on: February 01, 2024, 07:38:51 PM
This is funny 😁. We live in a world where everything has turned to a joke I believe that's why people can believe in anything now and when things turn out well for rhrm they will think it's because of what they believed in or what they did not knowing that it was an opportunity that met with luck. Back to the question of the op, I believe that winning in a game of gambling is nothing but luck and no one can foresee the outcome of a game before the beginning of the game. Don't believe anyone who thinks he can tell you the outcome of a game they would have become billionaires if they had the power to do so.
I don't know about spiritual involvement in gambling but am certain that they are some things that are beyond human, physics and scientifical explanation. Gambling is something that is luck based and some person might even tie this luck to that religions believe because they want to believe there is actually a process or a way around this that can be explained.

In the eyes and thought of the person borrowing the money it looks really simple and easy because he would be thinking that Bitcoin might blow up within that range but unknowning to the person that it's a wrong step because Bitcoin is something that no one is certain of how the price is going to move so when the person plans to pay back within the two years interval the market might actually get something else to say about that and before you know it the whole thing has become one sticky hell ass problem.

Wolves vs Manchester United

current standings Manchester United remaining many points left from European League and Champion League spot standings, tonight against Wolves is moment to make near close points and United has moment return to the top fourth position. In premier league Manchester United performance not consistent yet and last match got draw against Tottenham Hotspur, if can't get three points have difficult position for Manchester United how to close with top fourth position looking with points remaining right now 11 points left.
Entering the top four is the ultimate objective of Erik Ten Hag this season. United can be dissapointing in league performance sometimes but against an average team, I don't think they will take any chances other than winning. Manchester United will travel to Monlineux stadium to face Wolverhampton. I guess Gary O'Neil is ready to take up the challenge and prepare his team for what's coming on their path. The Red Devils coming for everything, the domination and three points, Erik Ten Hag have instructed his team to become one of the fierce squad because there's only one target, a big winning should be deserving.
Well with the current state of the premier league, I think it's okay to say that their is actually no average teams well atleast not for the likes of Manchester united team that has played like an average team themselves. The red devils and ten hag really needs some kind of miracle to actually finish up in the first four because this team is not in the right place to even play a wolve team that has proven to be a menace to other big teams .
469  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? on: February 01, 2024, 07:07:57 PM
Well I would say if you haven't had these then it's safe to call you a newbie to gambling because I believe everyone must have experience such. For me the feeling was hectic as I hated myself so much that I couldn't even sleep and all I ever thought about was for how I would claim back money I used up in the playing that whole session but like every other time, I resorted to my therapy which helps calm my nerves alot and this is hours of swimming, it helps me alot and since from that day I have always watched my gambling if the loses are in a series o quietly just end the whole session.
470  Other / Off-topic / Re: You can not win if you do not risk on: January 31, 2024, 07:05:38 PM
We need to take risks to win something, not only in gambling but in every aspect of our lives and the higher the risk ratio the higher the gain if the result is achieved successfully. To give an example specific to gambling, let's imagine that a popular football team competes with a lower league team in any event or cup match. In this case, since the winning rate of the popular and strong football team will be quite high, the winning rate of someone who bets with this option will also be low but the probability of winning for someone who bets by choosing the lower league team will be higher because the risk will be higher. In the shortest way possible, I can give an example of "the more bread, the more meatballs".
Funny illustration, but I get the message you are trying to pass. Life itself is filled with risk and I believe that a high percentage of person that succeed very well in life are those that don't fear the risk and take although sometimes it not always positive but there is certainty that one day that risk might yield good results. Another thing is knowing the right time and moment to take such risk because there is also careless risks.

Because this forum is the most active discussion space for many of the things raised, I want to say make good use of every discussion. There is no need to write or express something that is beyond our ability to make it appear to others that we are great while what is conveyed is misleading or substantially wrong.


Thanks for the information because alot of newbies like myself really need it , for some reason I think most newbie think that the community is all about making big posts with grammar's even they themselves aren't fully acquainted with. Sometimes we ought to read to have more knowledge so we can give back that knowledge, if you fail to that and feel you can actually impress by speaking huge grammar that will confuse yourself and everyone then you actually going nowhere and many people will just start seeing you as an hippocrate who falls to get the full understanding of things because involving in an discussion.

Initially before this forum , I was active in trading crypto which sometimes my analysis will enter for me and I will make some money and at a point the phobia of loss enveloped my thought and I stopped trading crypto because of series of losses but when I joined the forum ( bitcointalk) I read a thread that talked about patience and that all the newbies should Hodl coins instead of trading and that they should go through what the high ranked members post before making their own post and after going through series of threads I decided to read as much as I can and to hodl as much as I can and now all my technical analysis are going towards my direction and the chances of loss has reduced however, I thank all the High ranked members for their advice and at same time ,I urge all the newbies to be patient enough to read more post before posting .
patience they say is a virtue and they are so many benefits which comes for being patient. Many people don't actually know that this phrase about the patient dog eating the fastest bone is actually very much active and working especially when it comes to this line of business @ the crypto space. Trading is very risky and I know an investment too in Bitcoin is risky but there is a certain level that the trading of coins or stock surpasses an investment in Bitcoin. For Bitcoin investment, it's all about strategy and also the strong mind not to sell coins during scary periods too.
473  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: January 31, 2024, 06:46:21 PM
It has never been advisable to go way that extent of borrowing money in the name of gambling, gambling is a 50/50 chance of winning and losing, Therefore should only be played with the amount of money which you can afford to lose, it is very necessary to consider your financial strength before you get involved into, set limits base on how much you would spend to know when you are going above your budget, whenever we don't set boundaries we tend to cross boundaries.
People know this very well and yet they still do it anyways because of the lack of control of their thoughts and actions. Discipline at first is the very core of things and any gambler who lacks discipline will just find their self doing thing that are crazy and way beyond even his own imagination. Go to the extreme to borrow money for gambling is practically the worse thing ever again gambler would do because paying back when the plans goes opposite will be very difficult and can even result to you being jailed if the matter escalate more.
474  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 31, 2024, 06:36:47 PM
Barca will play with Osasuna today after last week's defeat to Villarreal. I think Xavi is relieved after announcing that he will quit at the end of the season. Looking at the line-up, Barca should win, but Osasuna have also been on a roll in the last 3 games and have come in good form. The fact that the match is in Barcelona and they will play with their ideal squad makes the odds in favor of Barca. I expect a different performance today, a dominant Barca as we know them. They will win with plenty of goals.
If there is any team that I would vouch for or have faith in then it's certainly not the Barcelona of now, this team have become so highly unstable and this is what fear for in a team, the Barcelona I know before would have won this game by a landslide and I doubt the playing capability of this current one, although I know xavi is trying but with the standard at which Barcelona was before now it's fair to say that he is not doing enough and it would be justified.

You would be surprised how things work actually, in this life of ours there are certain things that we all ought to know that is good but at the same time we still fail to do them reason being centered on the fact that we fail to reason that particular actions at the very climax of things and tend to do the one that might end us all on regrets and this is the funny part we all still others to blame when this happens, it's just a common thing for everyone.
476  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: January 30, 2024, 04:00:25 PM
If you are careful the damage will be reduced a lot missteps lead to bad luck. If you have less experience in gambling it is better not to be here because if the greed works inside you will find yourself a victim of bad consequences. To be like a responsible gambler follow them. They are not greedy how to protect their funds and proceed with a budget. There must be tolerance inside and can never try to recover the damage then all is over.
You are right but it is not easy for everyone to control their emotions. and when someone start gambling. and losing he loses all his self-control and continues gambling and don't stop until loose all his money.
I learned one thing about gambling is that only Greeed is not the main reason of constant gambling and loosing. but anger and frustration are the bigger reasons for that.
when you get frustrated on your loses and then willing to do anything to cover your loose that's when you start loosing.
Always bring little bit of money with you when you go to gambling.
That is a perfect example that your mind is very unstable and when gambling we all need a steady and stable reasoning to actually flow with what you are doing. Whenever we gamble and we become frustrated then that's just the start to many loses because your brain is just thinking to recover and never to resrategize which is very bad because it's a game of focus and you would need to be as stable as you can.

Saw this post a little late though but I want to do some updates showing how bad this country has turned itself. As of now that am writing this, the matter has gone so worse that a crate of egg is now at the surge price of 160naira over which is something they sold 120 for a few days back. If you ask me this country and it's high inflation is turning to something else and I would really like for some new intervention to be done to atleast salvage what is left of the country.

So far you stake your money, it is gambling. In fact, that is what that makes it to be called gambling. Gambling means you are risking your money on betting. Gambling has been existing since the old age when there are no casinos and bookies.

If there is no money involved, it is not gambling. If there is money involved, it is called gambling.
Yeah I think I have even something like this before as a discussion topic. I am also skeptical about this idea of anything that money is stake as gambling but after the whole argument I seem the point from where others were going and I now understood so I just have this question about this thought which is what if me and spouse put money that which person is gonna actually be the first to finish eating something, can this also be classified as gambling.
479  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Gaurd yourself this year against crypto scams on: January 29, 2024, 02:01:02 PM
It's a new year again and we all know what lies in wait, scammers are thinking of more innovative ways to decive and pollute the crypto community again and the one I hate the most are these wannabes that come and taint our fav coin image by creating not just inferiors but empty coins. They come I form of rug pulls, pump and dump all trying to scam crypto users who are ill informed. Not to long from now one new Influencer would start promoting a new rugpull, pls let none of us fall for such silly tricks anymore we are way past that already.

Thanks for the info mate, as I believe a reminder of certain scam information is never enough. Well I would like to add that it's not only the new year that can guarantee people to such scams but I believe the upcoming bull season too is a centered area for scammers and I believe alot of us despite the warning will still fall victim because of the urge to get huge and quick profits maybe due to shit project that offers such opportunity for you. This period is a period that one need to be careful if not regret will be your end result for a time when most persons will be happy that they bought Bitcoin and held till the price went high.

I do like xabi and this guy has proven his worthiness by helping leverkusen to go up from the bottom. I do appreciate this caused by xabi has been starting with very limited resource. This is also making the situation even worst for liverpool coz klopp has been a part of so many golden moments of liverpool. Many of liverpool fans are disappointing his decision to leave from the club but the fans can do nothing about this. Klopp has been deciding what he wanted to do. There's no reason for people to prevent him from temporary retired being a coach for the football club.

Liverpool needs to find a new target to coach the club at the end of season. I prefer xabi to be the more preferred one to manage liverpool. He has been so amazing in the leverkusen. There's no need to questioning his performance to manage the club again.
Xabi is an extraordinary coach for the club. This is also my main reason to call that xabi as worthy coach for leverkusen. this makes the situation will better if xabi will able to show his willingness to be a liverpiool coach,
We will never know Klopp's reasons, but whatever decision he takes, it is worth respecting because it is a big decision that Klopp has taken in his life.
Xabi Alonso is indeed quite good at the moment because he succeeded in making Leverkusen a strong team and I don't doubt that Xabi can continue his success if he replaces Klopp as Liverpool coach, but I'm a little doubtful whether Liverpool can get him because currently Xabi is the coach that many people are looking for. by top European teams.

I don't know if Xabi Alonso is a good replacement for Liverpool but am certain that kloop is indeed a good man to actually take such decision and he wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit the club. Bayern Leverkusen has changed a lot and the way they play is just different from most teams in the bundesLiga and if Xabi Alonso can simulate such performance in the Liverpool then I think the legacy of kloop will be retain in anfield and hopefully he can pave way for them to win another champions league like he did himself as a player of Liverpool.
