521  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How often do you receive bonus bets/free spins? on: June 13, 2024, 04:08:24 PM
Hi Guys,

I'm just wondering how often you receive bonus bets from your sportsbook/casino?

I have gambled with almost every gambling company in Australia and I find the majority do not provide bonuses regardless of how much you turnover.

Being an Aussie, I do the vast majority of my gambling with sportsbet.com which is a non-crypto sportsbook only available to Australians.

If I had my own sportsbook/casino I would be giving the maximum amount of bonuses to reward customers but the majority do not do this.

Here is an example from seven weeks ago of a $150 bonus I received which I was lucky enough to turn into $6600.



I advise you all to shop around for other sportsbooks/casinos that offer you bonuses because they make huge differences to your profits and betting strategies.
I have hardly come across a casino company that don't give bonuses to their customers, sometimes they give you this bonus with an option of using it to play and win like two separate games before you can be able to make withdrawal or cashout. Some casino even attach bonus at the point of staking a game just to Push up your odds. Maybe you need to change your casino, Rollbit can actually give you premium service with friendly odds and with pockets of bonuses.

Do you think having a casino or any gambling center close to an institution of learning, will influence the students somehow or should I say be a positive or negative reinforcement on them, in anyway?

Thoughts?
An institution of learning remains an institution of learning whether there is a casino company around it or not. however a casino company that decides to site its location in a school environment of higher learning should know that majority of Thier customers will be people that are residing along that area and students coming out from campus.
In business, your location is very important, so you should know your targeted audience and where to best site your Business. If it becomes a negative reinforcement on the students as a result of a lot them frequenting the gambling center and forming an unhealthy gambling lifestyle, then the school authority might decide to write to appeal to the gambling center to move to another location.
523  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Parents on childs savings bank accounts are waste of time if not saving on BTC on: June 12, 2024, 02:56:35 PM
Try asking this question to any parent who has has a child in the last five years, they will definitely say they want bank deposits before thinking or committing to bitcoin. This is expected because they are accustomed with banks for years now and bitcoin is indeed something new to them and something that has made the negative news in the mass media.

Only few of the forum users here might actually think about doing savings in bitcoin.

If you ask me, I would suggest both because you need fiat in the long run and bitcoin is a upcoming currency for the next generations.
It depends on the knowledge of the parents, as most parents are pulling out resource from the bank to invest in profitable business including Bitcoin, a lot of parents have realised that keeping their money in the bank and allowing it to lie fallow and subjecting it to inflation is not really helping out as the economic realities are changing. Fiat saving can mostly be useful for the day to day running of the family, but leaving a high deposit on the Banks are what a lot of parents are rethinking at the moment.

Trading or gambling?

This is a very relevant topic that I have long wanted to discuss with users. Let's compare trading and gambling in all respects. I believe that it is more difficult to win at gambling than at trading or investing. Perhaps you think differently? Then explain why. By gambling I mean primarily those games in which not only luck is important. That is, we will not consider roulette, dice and slot machines. From gambling we will only take sports betting and some card games such as poker and blackjack.
 Why do I think you have a better chance of getting rich in trading than in sports betting or card games for money? There are many reasons for this.
1. In trading there is a stop loss, there is averaging, there is a hold, that is, the ability to hold a position for a long time until it becomes profitable. There is none of this in gambling.
2. In trading, if you want, you can do without professional intermediaries. There are peer-to-peer transactions. You can do without exchanges. In gambling, it is almost impossible to do without casinos and bookmakers.
3. Trading includes derivatives and leverage trading. Of course, these are tools that require a lot of knowledge, but nevertheless it is possible. Derivatives allow you to hedge a position. In gambling there is no concept of position, there is only a bet.
4. In gambling, you must have the highest quality of prediction. In trading this is not necessary, because there are strategies such as rebalancing. If your bitcoins double in price, sell half. If you fall by 2 times, buy some of the stablecoins.
-------------
What advantages do you think sports betting and card games have over trading and investing?
Haven been a long time gambler, I will always go for gambling, though both trading and gambling have their risk factors, just the way you think you can stop your losses in trading, most gamblers do take out what we call cashout whenever the cashout option is out for a running game you've predicted and you think that the game is going as you've planned. In gambling you can choice little odds to minimize your loss, because big odds are likely to be unfavourable, so in choosing a lesser odd, you help to manage your risk.
Trading requires extra calculaton of the market flow which is highly volatile, if you don't build a sophisticated knowledge on trading skills, you can hardly make profit.
525  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: June 12, 2024, 12:58:03 PM
The Real Madrid team has been strong since Pati but this season Mbappe has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the Real Madrid team.  And this season will always be top and i can say manchester city can take second place and real madrid is likely to take first place. There will be a huge fight in the points table.
Mbappe just had a 5 years contract with Real Madrid, and he hasn't featured in any of the Real Madrid matches(Champions League or Laliga). To that, We don't know how his performance with Real Madrid will look like "good or bad" but we just hope it will be a fantastic one that keeps Real Madrid more formidable as they already are to lift the Laliga and Champions League trophy once again in the upcoming season
I've never seen Kylian Mbappe perform disappointingly, maybe he doesn't score goals or assists or statistically, he doesn't play like he usually does, but surely many people will agree that he is a fairly stable player, which is why Real Madrid is trying to ensure he plays at a big club.
In fact, because of the presence of the captain of the French national team, many have predicted that Real Madrid will not only be able to defend the Laliga title but also the Champions League title and that is certainly not impossible for Real Madrid because they are one of the clubs that can achieve this while other big clubs are only occasionally unable to defend it in the following season, but still predicting that Real Madrid will defend the Champions League title is too early because the group draw has not yet been held.
Funny enough, this is football a game of eleven Vs eleven players, once the whistle is blown for the game Start, there is always a different spirit in the field of play. For now it looks like The new bride of Real Madrid kylian Mbappé will automatically help Madrid conquer the entire Europe without resistance from other clubs, the champions League for next season is already looking like a done deal for Real Madrid in the minds of a lot of persons, well I'm here to remind you that, this is the game of football anything can happen.
This is not the first time Real Madrid are having a killer squad, during the time of Jose mourinho, they literally had world Stars in their first eleven, they couldn't win the champions League during mourinho stay. So sometimes it's not always about the cosmetics in football.

I really doubt we are breaking the ATH this summer. After the election we might get some up significant movement but at the moment demand just isn't there or maybe supply is just insatiable. I’m thinking supply and I'm convinced there is a lot of paper bitcoin being printed at the moment.

In the meantime just DCA.
You really got me cracking with that last part, "in the main time just DCA".
But is it even possible that the elections are affecting the price value at the moment, or  are politicians pulling out supply to invest in the forthcoming elections in the U.S, since you rightly said supply is insatiable at the moment. However my question is, how impactful can the elections be on the price fluctuation?

I didn't mean that the elections have anything to do with it. It just seems that would be a good time for things to get going again, you know, a couple months after the end of summer. I should of probably just said October/November.
Yeah I get your point now, the elections are around November, I believe the dust will settle down and everything will come to normalcy after the election, who knows we might actually break the ATH. But for now, let's just keep on with the DCA just as you've earlier said.

I don't find at all funny to watch friendly games because teams are not giving everything they got and it's just a waste of time in my opinion. They also want to avoid injuries and friendly games purpose are just to make sure you can put in practice what you learned in training because there is no real prize for actually winning a friendly game.

There is also the other side , where people chose to bet on friendly games and they end up losing on odds 1.05 or 1.10 out of nowhere so it's safer to stay out of betting on friendly games.  Grin
Friendly matches are not for betting, that's true. Often the coach in friendly matches wants to see what form the player is in and he may make too many substitutions, and the importance of winning is not so great. I rarely watch friendly matches, perhaps only if there are no other matches that I would like to watch. Today we can watch Portugal - Ireland, they may want to win after losing to Croatia, no one wants to start the tournament after several defeats.
I agree with you, friendly matches are not matches you should be betting, as most countries would want to future players that they might not use during a major competition, and sometimes some of the big players don't really take some of the games very serious because nothing is really involve. Ordinary because of the unseriousness that will be attached to the game, it is not ideal for anybody to place a bet on friendly matches. The importance of friendly matches is mostly to assimilate players together and try to form a team out of them, so it's not a waste of time, is it's one way to easily choice a team formation ahead of a serious competition.
528  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin mentorship. on: June 11, 2024, 01:56:57 PM
My people una good morning. Bitcoin Na digital currency wey be say you gats get updates from people wey know am well come still get plenty experiences pass you.
So that actually brings us to Bitcoin mentorship, when it comes to Mentorship in regards to Bitcoin alot of things have to be put in place before you can say you are a Bitcoin mentor. It includes

1. Patience: like other areas of acquiring skills the beginners Always finds it difficult from the start , but patience from the expert on the beginners Always goes a long way in helping them settle accordingly.

2. Teach them the basics:  teach them the basics and foundational stuffs Which will help them when they doing researches on their own.


3. Encouragement: your encouragement as a mentor goes a long way on the side of the beginners,  encouraging them to do more research, even when it seems hard and unable to materialise your encouragement is needed.
 
4. Always put them through:  Put them through whatever they don't know, yes research is good , but most times they might understand your own language better. Use simple language while teaching them.

5. Be available for support: whenever a beginner calls for help or support please do not be too busy for him , Always create chance and time for him.

6. Lastly there should be a room for questions, in order to improve him or her with ease.

Mentoring is about empowering others with knowledge and confidence, lets mentor a beginner today.
You've outlined brilliant formulation for mentorship.  mentorship is one way to help build knowledge and pass it to others, it requires a wealth of knowledge from the mentor to be able to easily transmit it to another person, as long as Bitcoin is concerned, before you can mentor others, you need to have a first hand experience of the activities of Bitcoin because of  how technical it can be. The mentee on the other hand should also be able to take a step further to make sure he does his own research, so as to enable him/her build their knowledge on Bitcoin sometimes without the input of the mentor, because you don't expect the mentor to always spoon feed you on every information about BTC without you putting any effort on your own.

It solely the decision of any investor to decide how much he is willing to invest in Bitcoin or any other asset. Bitcoin have high return proportional to the investors Level of Accumulation of it (stash) which is guaranteed in a long run, it simply a matter of discipline, if the investor is disciplined there is nothing that can shift his focus.

Bitcoin's price performance is not guaranteed in the long run to go up  - even though many folks (including myself) invest into bitcoin based on presumptions that it is more likely than not to go up in the long run... so each of us needs to establish our position size in accordance with a variety of factors, including the factor that BTC's price is not guaranteed to go up.

Sometimes I do come across people talking vehemently about their investments being guaranteed in the long run forgetting to know that uncertainty do happen even though we are making speculations but the most reasons why we make good speculations about the asset we invested on is simply because we need to be positive and hope for the best in our investments but that shouldn't mean we should be too affirmative in our analysis and speculations because so far as bitcoin is concerned, there are factors that leads to projection of it's price, so if those factors don't appear in the actual direction then it will be difficult to maintain same irrational mindset or beliefs.
Basically being realistic and positive about investing in Bitcoin will motivate you to accumulate a much larger stack.You may be accumulating a part of the worldly wealth in Bitcoin and it has to pull up to a point and keep your tongue wet. I have seen some investors convert some of their assets into Bitcoin and they choose to build another asset there. And there is a reflection of their confidence. You can follow them if you have confidence and positive attitude. I think a positive attitude is absolutely essential in investing and without it you will not be able to accumulate your stack freely. You should decide to choose your cushion amount of assets in depositing Bitcoin because you are holding it and the rest of the assets are financial security.
Your assertion of you being realistic and positive about your investment is absolute, but what @cryptoprincess101 is emphasizing is the fact that, you should be open minded as an investor because uncertainty might happen along the way, because your not the person controlling the forces of the market even as you want to be positive about your long term investment plans. You can map out strategies about your accumulations, and a possible period you would want to hold on, on your investment time till you decide to take profit, and the time to take profit comes according to your projections but then the profit at that time might not be good enough for you with respect to your analysis. So in all you just need to be open-minded and be ready for some of the market outcome that might not be too favourable even as you're positive.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino companies' responsibilities to rehabilitation institutions on: June 10, 2024, 01:46:50 PM
corporate social responsibility (csr) is an activity carried out by companies on the social and environmental impacts caused by their company's operations, and in this case, casinos have the potential that their operations can cause many cases of addiction in society. there have been many cases of addiction caused by gambling and usually the families of these victims bear the costs of rehabilitating these addicts themselves. usually the family will pay for the various needs of these addicts, such as food, hospitalization, etc., and that is not a little because there are addicts who need months to recover.

my question is, do casinos need to be charged to carry out csr to rehabilitation centers so that these rehabilitation centers can provide discounts for cases related to gambling addiction? and what about online casinos, how should they carry out csr since they operate globally?
In as much as you can't force these casinos to embark on any CSR task that they are not interested in you, can on the other hand
Try to intimate these casinos operators about the negative impact of their activities in the lives of their customers and their mental health too, and also come up with meaningful suggestion as to how these negative impact can be mitigated, research have shown that a certain percentage of gamblers either end up becoming insane as a result of depression whereas some end up committing suicide due to depression also, but this doesn't mean casino operators would want to start throwing monies around to rehabilitation centers for the treatment of such individuals but I think one of  the ways these casino operators can help is to be on the forefront of the campaign against irresponsible gambling, and also regulating the amount of money any gambler can spend per time, with these measures in place I think one might not get into trouble.
532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 10, 2024, 01:23:33 PM
I was actually thinking that Real Madrid is going to get a new coach and  Ancelotti is probably not going to get to work with Mbappé. But I actually forgot that he has extended his contract with Real Madrid until 2026. And we all know that he is a very good coach. Even though he sometimes makes weird decisions, it ends up working in favor of him. A lot of people and even me actually thought that this was luck. But at this point, this is definitely not luck and he is actually making calculative decisions. Real Madrid in the next season is going to be absolutely incredible and probably unstoppable as well. With his coaching and a squad like that, with Mbappé at the front, Real Madrid is going to dominate La Liga for sure. And probably even the Champions League competition as well.

I hope so, but let us wait for Mbappe's debut. I am interested about how good he will be at his debut match in Madrid. People can't wait to see Mbappe in the friendly match. We may witness Mbappe in a different form after being taught by Ancellotti like what happened to the bellingham which had changed drastically after ancellotti coached him. 
Barcelona is suffering a setback as its financial issues were not even resolved and yet again another problem is coming up for barcelona. The dilemma has returned for Barcelona, as the league has issued an ultimatum for the club to raise more than 100 million euros in order to register new players.

It is apparent that Barcelona will struggle in the La Liga for some years. Flick may be feeling difficulties in implementing his strategy. Barcelona may need to change its philosophy in order to comply with flick's strategy.



Ancelotti has brought Real Madrid to become champions of LaLiga and the Champions League. Of course it would be a shame if Ancelotti's contract was not extended, but yes, now Ancelotti is lucky to have his contract extended and to be honest, Real Madrid is very lucky to be able to have a coach like Ancelotti because he always provides good results and good strategies and the most impressive thing for me is that Ancelotti can maintaining the performance of his players, for example in the last match in La Liga he was really able to maintain the performance of his players even though at that time the match against Villarreal and Betis a draw but of course it was all Ancelotti's technique and strategy so that his players performed well in the UCL and became UCL champions .

Of course, by bringing in Mbappe, Real Madrid will definitely get stronger because at PSG, Mbappe is a key player, so Real Madrid will definitely have great potential to become champions again in Laliga and the Champions League for the coming season.

Yes, I personally also miss Mbappe's matches at Real Madrid and it looks like we won't know Mbappe's performance while at Real Madrid, but of course with Ancelotti's coaching I'm sure Mbappe will get better in terms of his game. Yes, with the situation that befell Barcelona, ​​it seems very difficult for Barcelona to be able to make their performance better than last season. yes, but I hope Barcelona can overcome this and hopefully they can perform better in the next season.

Ancelotti has proven himself over and over again at real Madrid and he keeps doing so every season, thanks to the good leadership and management style at the club's hierarchy that has always improved and keeps improving everyday at the club by bringing in the right player at every point in time, this has helped a lot to shape the club, Jude Bellingham joined last season and now they won the UCL again and now Mbappe is here, we expect them to replicate the same feat once again though we all know it won't be easy considering the fact that other clubs are also bracing up as well for next season, be that as it may, we all know this club and their antecedents, and all I can say right now is that, they will come back better than they were last season.

I'm speaking more long-term. Spain was the best in the world, all of the top clubs were looking for Italian players not so long ago and Croatia was everybody's dark horse with our midfield trio.
Ranking is going up for Croatia after winning against Portugal today  Grin
This was juicy odds for Croatia win and I love that nobody is considering them for top places in this EURO, they are the best underdog team ever.
Only 5 days left until the start of EURO 2024, and we are going to see how far they can go in this competition.
In my own opinion I think the Croatian team are one of the sides to look out for in this year's European cup, am not saying they are favourites and they are going to emerge winners of the tournament but I think they have good prospects and potentials, they might take them farther than we all expect in this tournament. Just as they did in the world cup some years ago when they emerged runner up in Russia after loosing to France in the finals, this time around if luck smiles on them they might go all the way to the finals because they have a fantastic squad and a great midfielder who can dictate the pace of the game with his awesome and tremendous abilities in the middle of the pitch, that's Luka modric, and also they have good defensive line up and some great forwards who can get the job done, so I think they can compete very well.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 10, 2024, 12:18:08 PM
sometimes big players like mbape and the likes of Christian Ronaldo could be a major distraction to other shining starts in the team and untill the leave the club, that's when you will notice that there are great replacements that could do literally the same thing they are doing at the attack. It's no doubt that mbape is a good attacker who does is job very well for PSG and his absence would be felt by both players and supporter but as a team, there will always be alternative and a substitute in the event that he's no longer in the team. The team will struggle somehow maybe for few matches to learn how to play without him but overall, PSG will survive and do well even without mbape.
They did the wrong thing from the start, how dependent they were on Mbappe, and that's what made them feel a deep sense of loss after Mbappe said he would not renew his contract and their next season was certain to be without this player. I understand that Mbappe's abilities make them dependent on him, but actually they can already make preparations because in a team players will come and go at any time.
What I see is that they weren't ready for that, so they were confused, and it even took them a very long time to persuade Mbappe, even though in the end they were never able to convince Mbappe again to stay with them.
Now they have to forget about that and better focus on the team to be even better even without Mbappe. There is much they can do instead of regretting Mbappe's departure, because after all it has happened.
Departures of important players in football clubs is not new hence PSG shouldn't have much to worry about except they want to let the world know that they are a club without strategy. The sporting world have seen moves like these severally in the past and most of the clubs that lost these great players later went on to win important trophies, we saw how David Beckham left Manchester united for real Madrid, Thierry Henry left arsenal for Barcelona, Ashley Cole left arsenal for Chelsea, Luis Figo left Barcelona for real Madrid, christiano Ronaldo left Manchester united for real Madrid, and so many others. but what real makes a good club is the ability of the club to get a good replacement or sometime you have to strengthen your academy or youth system, and get better replacement which may not be world-class but deliver good football and help the team win Trophies, a very good example of such club with that kind of magnitude is borussia Dortmund.

Julian Alvarez is talented, no doubt. He's scored 11 goals and 9 assists when Haaland needs a break. This is impressive for a primary substitute. But Haaland is a force of nature, a goal-scoring machine, too. No surprise Alvarez doesn't start every game. Pep Guardiola's departure is rumored. He has a year left on his deal, but will he leave the Premier League's biggest salary? No, I disagree. Man City will stay even if Pep leaves. The world's greatest managers will want to coach them because they're a premier club. Let's relax, enjoy the game, and see what happens


Pep Guradiola has a contract until 2025. This means that Pep only has one year left and I heard rumors that Pep doesn't want to talk about a contract extension. This will make the sports media come up with a lot of rumors. This will also give fans worries. As you said, Pep has been at City since 2016 and has succeeded in making City one of Europe's giants. I think it would make sense if Pep decided to retire. He has already got everything in football and he just needs to directly train potential young players.
More like pep guardiola should leave the podium now that the ovation is loud. Yes I support the fact that pep guardiola should go in for short retirement, just like you rightly said, he has literarily won everything within his capacity as a coach at the club level for Manchester city, winning the premier League back to back at a stretch for four times was a record I didn't see coming. But if it is eventually happens, that he leaves, he will be leaving a big shoe for the replacing coach to wear, because he will be leaving Manchester City at a high pedestrian, which will be very difficult for a lot of coach to fit in and maintain the tempo.
536  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Racism in Soccer on: June 08, 2024, 06:21:11 PM

For so many years now, a lot of football players more especially the dark skinned ones have been racially abused both in their domestic leagues and other international competitions and I now begin to wonder that is it bad for everyone irrespective of their race, language and country to do things together with one another without condemning each other?

It has been on record in football that players (especially Africans) face racism while playing for some European countries. I was thinking that the hate was only on Africans but with the development I have witnessed in the case of Vinicius Jnr even though he is a Brazilian have made me to understand that it is just a total hate on the black people.

In the past we have also recorded some racial abuse on some African players like Samuel Eto'o, Thomas Nkono (Cameronians), Iñaki Williams (Ghanian), others Africans who also suffered racism includes Nico Williams, Mouctar Diakhaby, Frédéric Kanouté, Yaya Touré and so many others.

 But the black people don't condemn the appearances of the whites so why the so much hate? It is that we all can't live together happily and proffer solutions to world problems without facing racial criticism? I want to know the reason why the Blacks are mostly the victims of racial abuse.
Racial abuse has been one of problems affecting European football, and I think the black players are the major victims, I remember when Dani Alves was thrown a banana from a fan in the stadium crowd when he was about to play a corner kick during a Barcelona game, he picked up the banana and started eating it, that action really became of topic of discussion that period. The solution to racial abuse in football is to give adequate punishment to racist, like giving them stadium life ban to any offender. Racial inequality is strongly condemned in football at the moment in any part of the world.

Many eyebrows have been raised since the new president of our beloved country and fatherland (NIGERIA) Bola Ahmed Tinubu took over from Muhammadu Buhari.
Many up till date still have doubt if the current president is leading us to success or we are going backwards currently no one can describe what we all are facing right now but all still hoping there will be better days ahead and hope for the future.

It's been a year now since our acting president sat on as the leader and father of the masses and front man of the nation and there have been alot of controversies all these while from price of petroleum to industrial products and to farm produce everything seems like we are in the worst days of our living, what is the work of a leader to make sure the masses who have elected him are always singing of his praise but that's not happening it now looks like we are used to taking things how they are.

Currently the president has signed into constitution a change of the national anthem, how this thing take concern wetin dey happen for this country person wey Neva chop dey sing?
who do u think will be mostly affected by this change
The military
Teachers
Students
National football team players.
Below is the picture of the new Nigerian national anthem



OP the president is not on acting capacity, he is our actual president who was voted for into power by the majority of Nigerians as required by the countries constitution. However let's go to the crux of the matter.
Like the president said the other day, The old or new old national anthem was his personal priority, not that the majority of Nigerians wanted it, that was why the senate gave a speedy passage. In answering your question, nobody will be affected, everybody will just adjust to the new reality and start learning how to sing it, give a year or two, pupils in our various schools will start singing it very well.

Today I saw a list of odds for the Ballon d'Or and I wasn't too surprised
I think Vinicius JR will win this time, however, if Bellingham or Mbapee win the Euro and play some great games, that chance may be reduced

Vini Jr - 1.40
Bellingham - 4.00
Mbappé - 11.00
Tony Kross - 12.00
Harry Kane - 21.00

What do you think? Will you place the bet? Is there another player to include?


I see they  are not giving any chance to Erling Haaland, if Harry Kane and Toni kroos can make the list, then why not Haaland, he was outstanding throughout the whole season for Manchester city, at least the only player that would have come from the English league. Vinicius junior is likely to be the winner, because of his individual brilliance, he is one player that will never get hold of the ball and move backwards, he will always want to push the ball forward towards the opponent and make a one on one dribble. Since the Ballon d'Or is an individual award for excellence, I will not be surprised if vinicius junior Wins it.

Yea in times past the African football games were really lacking goals in almost every match played bit recently things have really changed which depicts improvement in the games among the stars.

Watching this Nigeria v South Africa match to night am very impressed with the  Super Eagles performance despite them not winning the game as it was all hard luck for them in the second half missing those creative chances. I love the attacking variant coach Finidi George is bringing into the team  but I'll also advise they put a stronger defense in place too to balance the team.

South Africa on the other hand had a good defense which held Lookman still that he couldn't have a breathing space to attempt to shots he made in the Europa league which could have perhaps changed the scores. Nice one!

I just hope there won't be any sentiment between the manager and some players in the squad. The Super Eagles should start believing that they too can make other nations struggling to get a goal, I don't seem to understand why they can't see South Africa team as a country they can beat without stress? The Super Eagles always struggle against teams they're bigger than just because their opponent have a developed league or something? Why can't we beat these guys like they're nothing but instead we concede first and beg for a draw. They played well but with all the players who have made names outside the country I don't think a draw should be the outcome of this game, is best we lost rather than the draw we played, SA shouldn't be giving us this hard time.

Though Nigeria were supposed to win South Africa in this match but don't forget that for the fact that Nigerian players are playing in some of the major leagues in Europe doesn't mean that they can beat other countries without stress because league football is different from the country matches because in the league players are familiar with each others play pattern while in country games players from different clubs come together to play for their country so you don't expect them to have same experience as they do in their respective league games and again I don't know why you see that other African countries domestic leagues are better than the Nigerian league even though the league is still developing gradually but yet Nigeria still have quality and standard players that plays in the NPFL so they don't need to be intimidated by any African country that has already succeeded in building their league.
There is no sentiment between the Nigerian players and their head coach, they just played their best in my opinion.
I don't agree with you about the Nigeria team, that were are supposed to win the south Africa team, you shouldn't also forget that the south Africa team has players playing in their domestic league, and are doing well, so you think because the Nigerian players are playing in Europe, they should have just trashed the south African team, no football is like that. the south African domestic league is one the best in the whole of Africa,  If not for anything, you saw how wonderful they where during the game, and that is proof of how good they are. If you watch that game, you will notice the bafana bafana team had more chances to even score more goals than the Nigerian team. Don't forget that during their previous encounter during the just concluded African nations cup, the both teams played draw during the regular time and even the extra time, Nigeria had to win during the penalty shootout. The truth is, the south African team is not just push over team.

Archbishop Emmanuel Mutumwa, who is the leader of Johanne Masowe eChishanu Apostolic Sect has been banned from betting in local casinos because of excess wins. His current win was about US$30,000 and these casino operators fear that they might go bankrupt if he continues gambling with them.

But the acclaimed prophet claim that he receives winning games from God through vision. He further stated that with his numerous wins, he has been able to pay school fees and start businesses for members of his religious organization. While other religious leaders perceive his actions as sinful, he thinks his wins are an avenue to be a blessing to the needy.

Do you think a religious leader should be involved in gambling? Do also accept his reason for engaging in gambling?  Are these casinos right to ban him from gambling?

God’s Chosen Gambler?: Bulawayo Prophet Banned From Casinos for Winning Too Much
I am one person that would want to see religious leaders give out predictions as a result of prophecy they got, if the archbishop has been winning due to Divine revelation, and he has justifiedly said the money has been used to open business and pay school fees of members of his church, for me I don't see any reason why he should be banned. At least I know in football that there has been various cases where prophets give predictions as to how a certain football match will go, and at the end of the day, unfortunately it hardly goes the way they've predicted. For me they should allow the man of God to continue his gambling, since he hasn't committed any infraction.
