461  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 14, 2024, 08:39:29 AM
Although Real Madrid won this match, I am not happy with Real Madrid's victory. Real Madrid were a strong team but managed to win by just one goal. I expected Real Madrid to win by a bigger margin but it was a very competitive game until half time. Leipzig attacked a lot, with the Leipzig team hitting the goal post with 14 and Real Madrid with 15.


I think what makes Madrid strong and favorites is their winning mentality. I think a score of 1-0 is enough for them because they can really perform solidly and have a very good mentality. You can see how they were able to escape the pressure in La Liga when Girona put pressure on them in the previous few weeks. They were able to play solidly and yesterday they were able to beat Girona 4-0 and make them very likely to become La Liga champions this season. I think the same thing will happen in the Champions League. They won't be able to score a lot of goals but they will be able to perform solidly in every match.
I agree with you on this. Winning mentality is one advantage Real Madrid have over many clubs. I have actually come to understand that phycology play a very important role in the success of every team. Take Jose Mourinho for instance, he has this special way of motivating the players when he was coaching Chelsea and also Inter Milan during the peak of his career. He knows how to bring out the best in his players and transform an average player to an exceptional one.

Real Madrid's away win yesterday was a wonderful achievement for them because I don't see how Leipzig will come and win Madrid at Santiago Bernabéu. Even though it is a game of football that can go either way, Real Madrid have the experience and squad needed to tame Leipzig so they will definitely have their way

Historically, many folks have gotten overly greedy with their bitcoin and they put their bitcoin with third-parties in order to receive interest or yield and then they end up getting fucked.. so frequently it is not worth the risk to be using those kinds of interest bearing products in relation to your bitcoin, unless you can have some confidence that they are not gambling with your BTC too much.. which is truly difficult to assess because sometimes they are lying to you about what they are doing with your BTC in order to earn the yield.

That's why I don't like that yield farming or anything you call it which have long months or years lock-in since we don't know if they could able to last for long period of time.

Usually what we can see there is they turn scam and they take those balances and fucked up all their investors.

Much better if they just save their bitcoin on their personal wallet since they have total control of their funds and they can do whatever things they like especially selling it when they want pinch some profit.
Greed is really a terrible thing. If not greed, what will make someone give something as precious as Bitcoin to a third party? I see yield farming and the likes as ponzi schemes where the promoters lure people with huge ROI, they will pay the first set of people so they will spread the testimony to attract more people into their scheme where they will continue to gauge the level of cash inflow and will disappear as soon as they meet their target. I remember falling for those ponzi schemes then and it was not a good experience.

Only if people can see the power there is in owning Bitcoin, a treasure you hold that will never be affected by inflation and have the potential of generating unimaginable ROI. Bitcoin is one of the investment that requires the least input and maintenance, the job is done once and nothing is required to give you a lifestyle that you will be happy about. Provided you made the investment with money you don't have any urgent need of, money you can afford to leave in your bank for several years without being perturbed, then you will enjoy the beauty of Bitcoin.

Anyone that is privileged to learn about Bitcoin investment should take it seriously as it might just be a way of securing your future without you even knowing. The small fractions of your income you inject into Bitcoin might just be your biggest investment in the future.
463  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: The Nigeria system of education how it’s affecting the youths of today on: February 13, 2024, 02:12:18 PM
I will start my post with this statement: if you can genuinely make 2:1 which is second class upper division in any Nigerian public university, then you can succeed in any university in the world. If we conduct opinion poll among Nigerians regarding their view of the Nigerian system of education, you will see all manners of resentment,  negative report and what have you; people have worst things to say about our educational system and this is understandable. However,  looking at it from another perspective, the Nigerian system of education actually produce strong graduates that are intelligent and resilient. No wonder Nigerian graduates that travel abroad for post graduate degrees always top their classes. Nigerian graduates are moulded to be researchers,  self reliant with high endurance limit. Anyhow you bring am, we go run am for you... if you like teach us or no teach us, we go jack textbooks and still deliver in exams.

The major challenge I see about the Nigerian system of education is a total disconnection between the classroom work and the industrial application. The schools have no practical equipements and there is no synergy between the universities and the industries. The reason students struggle to get a place for internship and IT placement. If this can be fixed, trust me, Nigerian graduates will do wonders in all fields of human endeavors. 

In conclusion, our educational system might seem poor, but it produces the best brains in the world, people who are smart, bold and willing to go extra miles to achieve success.

The betting platform is not to be blamed as the victim gambled using a betting agent? But he went to their betting site headquarter with no help given.

He used the betting agent of the betting platform to gamble and he won $11800 when I converted the local currency to dollar. He said the owner of the betting shop travelled abroad but he met the workers. The workers wanted to scam the man by not giving him any money.

The people involved that wanted to scam the man have been taken to court. They were granted bail with two sureties and the case has been adjourned to match 4 2024.

Some people are just very dubious

https://punchng.com/bet-naija-attendant-friend-arraigned-for-allegedly-stealing-n16-7m
This is a regular occurrence in my country and the challenge many physical casinos are facing. Like you said, the problem is not always with the casinos but their agents in the various outlets. There was one an agent eloped with peoples winning giving them excuses that there were too many winnings so the company could not pay at once but at a later date. He used this excuse in buying time until he completed his paper works and traveled abroad with people's winning.

This is why many people have decided to use online casinos only. With online casino, if there is a problem, you will be interacting with the company direct not through a third part. There will be no case of an agent running away with people's money.

Craig Wight is not  Satoshi Nakamoto, said the real Satoshi Nakamoto in Twitter


The real Satoshi Nakamoto has come forward and twitted in his new Twitter Account, He has made the clear statement that Craig Wright has infringed his Bitcoin White Paper.  The real Satoshi Nakamoto has informed Justice Lord James Mellor that Craig Wright is not the genuine author of the Bitcoin White Paper in an official Letter on the 9 February 2024.

 He has made it clear that the real Satoshi Nakamoto is a British Economic Scientist who wrote the Bitcoin White Paper on  5 May 2007 18 months before publication on 31 October  when Hal Finney came to meet Satoshi Nakamoto in South London with Wei Dai and Alex Finney ad His Father Lou Finney From USA in Croydon on 26 October and met Satoshi Nakamoto.

Twitter Account of the Real Satoshi Nakamoto -   https://twitter.com/SatoshiN4k4moto

Is this some sort of joke? How did you come by the conclusion that a random guy who just showed up on twitter and addressed himself as Satoshi is worth paying attention to? If Satoshi decides to come out from anonymity,  he will not stress the public in proving himself, just a signed message from one of his wallets will do.

I understand the dramas and scam attempts that happens during bull run, so this one is no exception. Oh I forgot, Twitter(X) is now paying,  so building a new account using the biggest name in the digital space is not a bad idea.
466  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Anyone +18 Play Gamble? on: February 13, 2024, 03:50:54 AM
Does gambling needs experience or anyone +18, even the inexperienced one can also play? Though playing gamble has a limited age grade or age bracket and the accepted is from  +18 years and there are some casinos hall at the door post, it is written clearly that it is only people of +18 can play. But what about the inexperienced ones, are they allowed to play gamble as well? Or they are also restricted to have the fun? In my observation, there are two elements to participate in gambling. One, you must above 18 years in my country and secondly you must have an experience to play, so I want to know if inexperienced people can also play gamble.
There is no connection ɓetween experience and the age limit adopted by the regulators. The later is regarded as the stage the gambler is expected to be matured enough to take independent decision and be responsible for the consequences of such decisions while the former is a difference ball game.

Furthermore, experience is not a measure of age because someone in his 20s can be more experienced than someone in late 30s depending on how many years each of them have been involved in gambling and how well they have been able to learn and grow in the gambling process.
467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 12, 2024, 08:16:42 PM
The only match of the day in Italian Serie A will be played between Juventus and Udinese. The championship race between Juventus and Inter continues but Juventus lost to Inter last week and lost a very important advantage. Also, Inter completed their missing game in the league and increased their point difference with Juventus to 7. If Juventus wants to stay in the race, they have to win this game. If they don't beat Udinese today, Inter will be the strongest favorite of everyone.
This is supposed to be an easy match for Juventus considering their experience and home advantage. By head-to-head record, Udinese have only drawn just once in the last 6 meetings with Juventus winning all. I do not expect tonight to be any exception unless as Udinese have taken the lead with the Lautaro Giannetti 25th minute goal that have seen Udinese leading by a lone goal. It is still a long way to the final time so it is somewhat difficult to conclude that Juventus will lose the match like that lost to Inter Milan in their last match.
468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 12, 2024, 07:37:27 PM
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea tonight, I’m thinking this could be a close game. The home fans at Palace are known to create a really good atmosphere. Chelsea could find it tough on a night kick off at their place.

Let’s see what happens, I definitely think there will be goals in this one.
Crystal Palace vs Chelsea will be a trailing game because both sides are competitive and keeps close eyes on the accumulative three winning points. I'm just at home relaxing, I'll not be placing any wager on this particular game because I perceive incompetent actions driven from the Blues end. Chelsea keeps making inconsistent results in matches, they just have to stick to becoming more balance in matches, especially when it comes to stellar performance. Chelsea do fumble against both average and elite teams, I'm a blue fan and probably, not giving 100% trust on my team.
I see a very tough match tonight between Crystal Palace and Chelsea, a match that will likely produce a winner and it is very difficult knowing who that winner will be. Both Chelsea and Crystal Palace have not been doing too well this season with the later even smelling the relegation zone. If Crystal Palace is to evade relegation this season, they must muster some courage to offset clubs like Chelsea that are easier to dismantle this season.

I will not go for winning in this match as it can swing either sides. A closer look at both teams will show that they have ben scoring as well as conceding goals this season so playing the match on goals will be a better option.

It happened when we least expected. Everyone was looking at the ETF to propel this surge but they used it to shake out the weak hands for a free ride to the upside. With this, ATH high is possible before halving other things being equal. I can only imagine the future of Bitcoin and where we will be as fresh capital continue to flow into Bitcoin through the various ETFs!

indeed long term HODL will always win.

This one na major cause of concern for we wey dey for cryptocurrency business because I know say this one will never help us in anyway, rather, e go make accessing and using cryptocurrency hard for us because the regulators go must put measures to take collect money from our hand.

Make them just comot hand for cryptocurrency because this regulation no go solve any problem but go create plenty problems.

471  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 11, 2024, 04:06:04 PM
Munich losing by three goals was gut-wrenching. A team of their calibre should fight, right? They gave Leverkusen the win on a silver platter. Think about it; more ball control but no action? What a shame. Instead of penetrating defences, they basically passed the ball aimlessly.

And dont mention Tuchel. I was optimistic, but this makes me doubt his methods. Disconnection is evident in the team. In contrast, Leverkusen played hard. I applaud Xabi Alonso for demonstrating the power of effective management without star players. What a contrast! It makes you wonder if Bayern needs a coach change.
I think it's all over and Tuchel is now in a very deep slump, no one is to blame but Tuchel for this embarrassing defeat.
I didn't expect Bayer, who was struggling to compete for the Bundesliga title, to lose with such a crushing score.

In this match, it was quite visible that Bayern's strength was able to be suppressed by Leverkusen's slick performance. Xabi Alonso's team was really quite surprising in what they showed.
In the game of football, there will always be a winner and what is expected when defeat happens is the spirit of sportsmanship.  As disappointing as it may be, Bayern Munic just have accept the fact that they were carefully and intentionally defeated by Bayern Leverkusen.  Maybe this will help them come to terms with reality that the league title is slipping off their grip. I actually like things like this as it has a way of proving that no one is indestructible.

Bayern Leverkusen have truly proven that they are prepared for the title this season. Their draw with Mgladbache actually put doubts to their resolve but this win have clear all doubts. Bayern Munic have to kick their wounds while the prepare to salvage what they salvage what they can.

It was a terrible moment for Arsenal when they lost to West Ham United in their last meeting even though Arsenal did managed to dominate that match in possession and the number of goal attempts. I think the players of Arsenal would be eager to play against West Ham United today as they will have a chance to reclaim a stolen victory by West Ham United during their last meeting at the Emirates Stadium. I guess the chances for West Ham United to stop Arsenal from claiming a victory at the end of the match is very low.
Bearing that last experience in mind, the Gunners are dealing a huge blow to Westham, a true definition of retaliation.  6 goals to nil at 70th minute with no sign of stopping there. Seems Arsenal have suddenly rediscover themselves and are emboldened by the win against Liverpool.  Do they still have a chance at the league title?

There win today will make them equal Machester City in 53 points, two points behind Liverpool. If Machester City fail to win their outstanding match, it means the league is still very much within the reach of Arsenal. But I have my doubts in them because consistency have always been their major problem. However, it was a good outing by the Gunners today, let's see if they can keep up the pace.

I think now is a good time to take some profits and set it aside.

It's a given when all the internet bobble heads get excited is a good time to sell some. When anything rises fast it comes back down almost every time.

Even if it goes up some more you still secured a profit, get rid of the emotion. When it drops below your sell poing enough buy back in a bit at a time.
Different people, different motives,  different target and indeed seeing differently. I don't know what your motivations for thinking about selling now are but the signs are there that  we are just starting a major bull run. Why then will someone sell when he should be buying more? Check recent cashflow into the market, you will see that we are just starting a major bull run.

The only factor that can possibly cause deep retracement is sell off that may feollow if  MtGox creditors are refunded their Bitcoin. Until then, we are still entering major bullish event that will send price higher, so now is not the best time to sell.

As a newbie I have been thinking about the powerful thread in the meantime taken a chance how to write me.

One of the trader who trade in business place for the best return basically his expectation 50% or 100% or also more how much become he more delightful.
As a assumption the price of cryptocurrency 2030 maybe 543K which price by today is 48k.
We are not actually talking about trading here, I think there is a section for trading. By trading I mean short time and hold with targets like 50% or 100% just like you said. If you are looking for information on that kind of ventures, I suggest you visit the trading discussion board and you will appreciate why the forum is segmented.

Just to set the record straight, we are discussing long term investment here and all that is needed to successful buy and hold Bitcoin for long. The key things to consider is how to buy, when to by, what is required to be able to hold and how to develop the mindset of a holder. If you go through the thread you would have read about buying the dip, DCA method, and the concept of the emergency fund that is like the secret to long term HODL of Bitcoin.


Why late! if you have enough money to invest! You must buy today last week its price was 43k.
I do not really support compulsive buying because it is usually done without proper planning. Before investing in Bitcoin, you must have calculated your cashflow to know how much you should allocate to Bitcoin so that you will be able to set up reserve funds that will serve as emergency funds. Buying now is goo because the best time to buy is usually now but care must be taken to make adequate preparations just like I explained before; that is the way to buy and be able to HODL.
475  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Reason for acquiring bitcoins. on: February 11, 2024, 01:27:21 PM
Even though I have noticed some people pretending to buy Bitcoin for the love and not because they believe they can get financially comfortable through it, majority of Bitcoin investors got into Bitcoin because they know the wealth generating power of Bitcoin. Even those who got into Bitcoin because of the use case like myself, somehow they realized that it could be a store of value and started holding. So the ultimate reason for holding Bitcoin is to make more money from it, leveraging on the volatility and other amazing properties of it.

However, there are other reasons I have come to realize that made people invest in Bitcoin. Personally, I have made some adjustments in my future plans and that including adding Bitcoin to the assets I will transfer my heirs. Consequently, I'm building to HODL and never to sell my entire assets irrespective of the price Bitcoin gets to. I will experience bull and bear seasons as long as I live and will never run out of Bitcoin.

Manchester City vs Everton

Everton will be playing Manchester City at Etihad. Will they be able to stop them from entering the top of the premier league table for the first time this season? Looking at Everton's performance last match against Tottenham they had a good performance up to the point of winning Tottenham at their home. Manchester City on the other hand is the champions of Europe they have what it takes to win and remain in the EPL table till the end of the league. In this match i will be playing Manchester City to win and multiple goals of 3 and above. Because i know Everton will score and Manchester City will do everything possible to win at Etihad.
Manchester City managed to win at Everton's home ground, Manchester City should also be able to win because they will play at the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, Manchester City performance is currently difficult to control. So, playing at home against a team that is without a win in the last six matches in the Premier League, Manchester City is certainly the favorite to get three points to record ten consecutive wins and at the same time lead them to the top of the standings.
Unfortunately, Manchester City is not finding it easy to win even at Etihad as the match is standing at goalless draw as at half time. I'm not surprised though because Everton have been a difficult nut to crack for the big teams.  They were able to secure 2:2 draw with Tottenham in their last match following Jarrad Branthwaite 94th minute goal, although this is not enough to conclude that they will be able to withstand the firepower of the Cities.

I was thinking that Manchester City will have an easy win today following Liverpool's last week defeat by Arsenal that made them lose their first position for the interim should Manchester City win their outstanding match. Let's see how the second half ends and I hope the Cities are able to win this one because they desperately need the winning more than anything.

If suddenly you went on a binge-gambling out of a lack of self-control or something else. For example, you deposit money in rapid succession after a series of losses and the casino management freezes your account. And when you call their customer support, they tell you that your account has been frozen for 3 weeks and the reason why they carried out that measure was because they suspected that you were gambling irresponsibly and decided to take that measure so that you can call yourself back to order, will you feel furious, cuss out, sign out of your account and register on another casino and continue betting. Does even freezing a customer's account curb irresponsible gambling or betting addiction?
This cannot change anything regarding gambling addiction. It is obvious you've never been addicted to gambling before or seen someone that have been addicted before. A gambling addict has no control over his actions and can't help it.

If the account of gambling addict is frozen for whatever reason it may be, it is a matter of creating new account in another casino or even playing physical casino. The options are just numerous besides, most casinos do not require KYC.

Stopping gambling addiction must come from the determination of the gambler after being convinced that he is going about gambling the wrong way.

How do you guys manage to take a break in gambling? I’m not asking for advice but rather I’m just interested to know what you are doing on your own or if you really do a break.

I recently decided to take a break since I want to hold my crypto due to its increasing value and I don’t to spend it while it’s giving me passive profit. I just claiming bonus now or anything that is free to still enjoy gambling without risking my money.
This is one of the important attribute that makes a great gambler yet it is one of the hardest thing to do. Taking a break has serious psychological benefits in terms of helping the gambler dispel pressures and plan better. Anyone not able to take a break from gambling is probably addicted.


What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
Some people only take a break after a major loss, a way to allow them get over it. But I do take a break after a major loss or a major win. I consider managing winning an important aspect of the gambling process so whenever I have a major win, I take a break. I do this by withdrawing my winnings and leaving just a small amount in my gambling account and whenever I lose that money, I will take a break to be able to account for the winning.
480  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: February 09, 2024, 01:05:19 PM
Guys, do you often feel like me? when I raise the bet I lose and when I lower the bet I win. Does the casino system/algorithm know the betting patterns we make? So often when we bet big we are given a loss and when our bet is small we actually win, which is very annoying

I don't know if this applies to all games or not, but I feel like this often when playing table games. What do you think?
You are not a lone my friend, this do happen to me. I have never won a bet I placed outrageous amount for once, I don't know why but no matter how careful I am with the selection, as long as I stake very big amount, it doesn't always work.

I think this may be a way the bookies play tricks on our mind, thereby throwing us into fear and doubts. Ever since I realized that this pattern doesn't work, I stick to what works, not fighting to make all the money in one bet. I think that helped me find peace with myself.
