At the moment crystal place vs Chelsea is going in a head lucked fight and both team are mentainig the 1:1 goals which have been standing till the 68 minutes into the match,  but at the moment it looks as if Chelsea have more chances of making an extra goal score if their can utilize the many chances the have missed already.

The crystal place squad also are looking for every possible chances to make a goal score but they have a very weak and motivated Stricker at the moment.
Outside the fact Chelsea defence hasn't been impressive this evening, the strikers are not helping matters as well, just imagine the one on one Jackson have missed this second half, that would have made the game 2-1 in favour of Chelsea if he had scored, even when he tried to score one, it was disallowed by the Referee as offside, however they've been awarded a penalty after EZE fowled madueke at the 18 yard box, madueke afterward stood up and took the spot kick, making the game 2-1.
The match might end up like this.
Obviously, the match will end up like this because it is already close to the finish time. However, Chelsea has been lucky this night just as Manchester were lucky last night. Finally, the two big teams that have been underperforming for quite some time has been able to win a match in this week games. Their fans would be happy while they enjoy the Christmas seasons, i know it has been a long time since i see a smile from Manchester United and Chelseas fans.

When Canada Toronto BTC ETF was approved than a lot real estate investors invested in btc etf their capital and large part of Toronto real estate market was falling lower.
First time i am hearing that a Bitcoin ETF has been approved before and it was in Canada Ontario. So perhaps i have been getting it all wrong. Bitcoin ETF can be approved in other countries if am not mistaken but in the United States, eight firms have tried without success since 2013 to create a bitcoin ETF, according to my research. Perhaps they are skeptical in granting any Bitcoin ETF in the United States. The reasons are kind of deep, because the United State has great influence and of Bitcoin ETF is approved there, the investors would have a big influence on the Bitcoin market. They may have control of the entire market and regulate the price.

Manchester was lucky last night to be frank. They are still unbeaten on boxing day since 1978. Coming from behind to defeat Aston Villa is one of their biggest wins in this season. Hojlund finally had his first game in the premier league and Garnacho had a double. Quite a good record for Manchester United yesterday. Because it has been a long time, they had a good win and this time to came back from nothing and won the match with a well stunning performance in the second half.

Any tribe that feels uncomfortable and wants to be on their own should start a local thread outside of the Naija local board and stay. You must keep and converse in the two approved languages as long as you are a member of this board.

@Charles-Tim such thread will divide us and will hinder alot of users.
You have spoken well. One thing has united us together here in the forum and we should stick to it and not deviate from the rules, especially rules number 2. There is a saying that says ''Together we stand, divided we fall''. Anything wey go make us introduced individual tribal sub board for this our local board, go scatter everything wey be say the senior men wey ginger make this board they alive and active done try do. I no go like they active see say for my time na him confusion come enter our local board.

The thing be say no be for this forum wey all of us go they till we old. Definitely many persons go find their level or venture into other things. If we con divide the local board weting the future members of the forum go come think of us wey be early members. We think say the think go encourage them to continue.?

Its first half and Manchester United are losing with two goals down. Actually, i now see it as a waste of time talking about Manchester United and their performance. Because it seems that every day, they are getting more and more worse. Am not surprised because i expected the outcome of the match to go this way. If i were to be Ten Hag, i will humbly resign.

I feel sorry for the United fans, it's so depressing seeing your preferred club perform poorly. However, there is still time to amend some lapses and fix the loopholes. By January the window will be open, and it is an opportunity for Ten Hag to bring players that could revive the team.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: December 26, 2023, 08:10:41 PM
You know before getting to the stage where you're called a successful gambler. That means you have pass through alot of stages before getting there. And one of those stages are uncontrollable losses, addiction etc. So to be a successful gamble doesn't mean you must be addicted because most successful gamblers have already know the ways to handle such things. Because without having good control of you gambling habits you can't become a successful gambler at first . Is through your luck and your principles in gambling.
Are you saying that before you can be a successful gambler you must have gone through some kind of regular losses that one cannot control and as well addiction? Buddy it's all wrong. Some gamblers are just lucky that during their first month or week of gambling they got a massive cash out. Sincerely speaking, in my country a guy took a bet from a friend, and this was his first time. He asked for games, and they gave him. He used a good amount and staked it and was lucky to win very big. Ever since that day he stopped gambling and was very successful.

Liverpool will not stop the pursuit of sitting at the top of the premier league table. Their consistency and persistent is something that will pay off. In the meantime, the Elephants will be sitting on the tree until next year, because i am certain that they will their next match against Westham on Thursday.

At this point, Burnley are strongly to come out of the bottom. And they are not ready to play a team like Liverpool. They need to play lesser team that could give them a chance in which they will be out of the league of teams that are on the spot for relegation. They tried so hard to hold the game after the early goal by Nunes, while looking for an opportunity to score a goal in other to secure a draw. This would have given them a hedge over other teams on the bottom. But unfortunately for them, just at the 90th minute Jota had to double the lead.
529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 26, 2023, 07:53:59 PM
There should really be a security in every local betting shop if we are talking about the security of the players and the owner's business in general. Although having security is really rare and almost close to none, most especially in third world countries. Perhaps this is because they are cutting costs because hiring a security will add cost to manpower budget allotment. So they would rather just install CCTVs instead of adding a guy to secure the perimeter. But it should really be a must, especially because gambling shops cater different personalities. Some are aggressive, some are cheaters, and some are boastful that can lead to argument and fight.
Don't you think bringing securities in a local gambling shop will be more expenses on the shop owners. And if there are more expenses to run on the shop there might be increase in cost of rendering services there. What i mean in essence is that, since there are securities, and they have to pay them weekly or monthly. They may be selective in the type of people who come there to gamble. Like those who do not have enough to spend on gambling will not be allowed to enter. If we see in the popular casinos, if you do not look rich or expenses the securities will be watching you throughout your stay in there. And there are restrictions to the sections you can go in that casino.

The word FOMO means Fear Of Missing Out:  The feeling when you see a huge green dildo on a chart and you don’t own that coin, so you sell other shit to buy into it freaking out. As crypto trading is still very much driven by emotions rather than valuation, FOMO is a huge factor to consider when swing trading in crypto.

I know it sucks try to understand the forum from reading those suggested topics everyday, I have been going through such stress too but the truth is there is no way apart from that. I will still suggest you read the following threads to have more knowledge of forum terminologies

Good you are pointing the OP, to the right direction. He seems to have a lot to learn.  The listed topics above will help the OP to understand the acronyms and the forum as well. But he should makke further research. The search engine is there to help.

Since I was born and now I am getting old. I have not seen the government properly educating citizens on global development or anything like sensitization that would empower the youth to gain interest in technological development. By now everyone is above 18 years of age. Should know that you can't rely on the government for help. Everything the youth are doing, ranging from Tech, Yahoo, and cryptocurrency was self-driven or introduced by friends or colleagues.

OP, I think it is illiteracy that would make someone ignorant and would not accept the fact that the world has advanced to an era where someone will comfortably work at home and make good money to cover all his expenses without going out to do anything. The best sensitization that should be given is not about introducing Bitcoin and other online work to citizens. I think it is a moral sensitization on digital acceptance. An awareness that would change the low minds of citizens to understand that technology has advanced and the better we adopt to improve the way we respond to those technologies the better our country we get. This is what the government does not want everyone to know. They don't want to expose everyone to the new world.

We thank God for the internet that has exposed us to the advanced world. We don't need any government orientation anymore to be updated on advancement and technology. If there is anything we want to learn or go into. The internet is there for us to learn and do research. Google, Youtube, Bing, and other search engines have revealed quality information to people all over the world. Everything is accessible just in the comfort of out home.

I had this wish, that I were given a chance to make a wish in life. It would be for me to not age. I have this curiosity to see where technology is going and I want to be in the future. The IQ of a man is limitless, this is because the only limit is the one we set for ourselves.

Wait WHAT? He already banned his name yet they still allow him to play? The problem here is that the money still goes from him to the casino and yet nothing goes from the casino to him.
That's the catch there. He knows even if he wins he won't be getting paid so he rather stops entirely because what's the point of gambling when you're not getting your winnings? But if you look at it on the side, you will notice that these patterns he used to stop his gambling addiction cannot work for someone who gambles for fun. As long as there is an opportunity to participate in gambling, someone who gambles for fun will still go there and gamble. The pattern only works for someone who is into gambling to make money.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 25, 2023, 12:36:54 PM
For those persons who prefer gambling in local bet shops instead of gambling online. I know that most times some persons carry huge sums of money to come to gamble and I understand that if it was a local casino there would be securities. Now, in the local bet shop, why are there no securities? I know a local bet shop close to where I reside. There are no securities there and there are people who act strange and mentally unstable there. They could cause fights, noise, and cheat. So for other persons to feel safe betting there I think securities should be employed there.
534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 25, 2023, 12:29:34 PM
Judging from looks, the guy may seem to be shabby but on the side, he is very normal but doesn't know how to dress to look good. I have seen people like that most times in some local bet shops. Some of them just came from their place of work. Which may be some kind of dirty manual jobs. So instead of going home and changing up, which would take them some time. They rather enter the local bet shop bet their game and leave.

There is this saying "Don't judge a book by its cover".

However, in my opinion, mentally unstable persons should not be allowed to gamble. Since they are mentally drained they can never control their emotions when they win or lose. They may cause havoc in the local bet shop.

Liverpool's draw against Arsenal continues to extend their unbeaten record at home. There is not a single team in the EPL that can beat Liverpool at Anfield this year. It seems that Anfield still feels haunted in the eyes of all EPL teams and this also gives a sign that any team that will be Liverpool's opponent at Anfield will certainly not go home with full points.

Liverpool players have still maintained their consistency throughout this season and they can always turn things around when they get full support from the fans. If Liverpool are able to maintain their unbeaten record at home this season, it is not impossible that they will win the EPL title this season and at the same time break the dominance of the existing competition between Arsenal and Manchester City.
If am to be asked the team I want to win the EPL title that would be Liverpool. I like the way they play and maintain consistency in their performance throughout the season. My support goes to Arsenal and Liverpool, I have had enough of Manchester City winning the league over and over again.

Liverpool at Anfield is like a beast. They play the game there with so much passion and strength. However, there would be a point in the league that a team will win them in Anfield. It is not impossible or difficult to do that. Arsenal was very close to doing that. If they had managed to hold the game with that one-goal lead till the end of the game.

Quite impressive Nigerians are adopting rapidly and accepting the growth in new technology. I told my friend once that if Naira has a peg its value won't depreciate the way it is doing now. I appreciate the banks that collaborated to make this a reality.

This great news follows after the release of the ban on cryptocurrency in Nigeria. I believe this should also be a gateway for global awareness of cryptocurrency in our country. Also, a means to where we can make various blockchain transactions in our local banks.

Don’t increase your bet when you are losing because it will just amplify your loss immediately once you are in bad streak. Always test the water before you increase your bet.  Wink

I like this part. Gamblers should take the advice very important. Because we do neglect this thing at a point in time when we are gambling. I have fallen victim to it. I was losing about 250$ while gambling so I thought increasing the beating amount would help me increase my winning so that I could cover up for the loss I had made and still make extra profits.

In the process of doing that I entered the bet with 450$ and unfortunately for me, I lost in that game. I think that was my biggest loss even if I cannot remember vividly. But through that week I was unable to gamble, it made me stay about 4 to 5 months before I started gambling because that was the money I saved for business and I only wanted to increase it.
539  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 24, 2023, 07:14:59 PM
Don't be surprised if Chelsea lose again to Wolves because the host can be a ferocious wolf at home while we know Chelsea is still not sure to win even if it's against Wolves, I won't take a big risk in betting this match and just want to watch without any bets because yesterday was quite disappointed with several teams whose results were unsatisfactory.
Wolves are a very strong team when playing at home, but they are also often inconsistent and if Chelsea suffers another defeat, of course no one will be surprised by this, Chelsea this season has still not found its best performance.
It's quite risky to bet on Chelsea winning, in fact I haven't done it since a few weeks ago, but in this match I won't miss placing a bet. Based on my previous analysis, I believe this match will end with many goals being scored, so I placed a bet on goal over but unfortunately up to the 30th minute no goals had been scored and the game between the two teams also tended to be quite careful without attacking each other.
I see your point about Wolves' unpredictability, especially at home. They've been a wild card all season, sometimes excelling and sometimes failing. Their instability makes them a tricky opponent. Chelsea seems inconsistent in a different way. They play better against harder opponents, which is intriguing. They seem driven by the challenge.

I understand your goal bet. Since both sides are playing it conservatively in the first half, I wouldnt be shocked if its goalless at halfway. Knowing Chelsea, they may improve in the second half. Like they need time to assess their opponents before committing. Im fascinated, but Im not betting yet.
I feel sterling and Jackson have a lot of blame for their poor performance at the frontline, they were clear chances that this players could score, but they missed those chances.
Buddy life can be funny at times. You have Jackson with 7 goals and still, he is being hated and blamed for today's game by his fans for not doing anything apart from these goals. And then you have Gabriel Jesus of Arsenal with 3 EPL goals and a large set of the Arsenal fan base genuinely is happy to have him in the team. What more do the fans want from these players? Jackson was tough on the pitch, he wasn't lucky today and that was not his fault. Sometimes we the fans should learn to appreciate this players for their effort.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between Physical and Online Gambling which makes a person more addicted on: December 24, 2023, 07:05:20 PM
They are both the same and can be addictive. What differs them both is the person that is placing the bets on them, if the person is someone that understands the internet better, he would love to be playing from online and the person that don’t will always be seen at a bet shop placing their bets. Also, those that are wanting play on a low profile without the knowledge of the public always prefer to play from online than going to a physical shop.
I disagree with you here. You can't say they are similar and still say they have some differences, you are on the contrary contradicting yourself. IMO, online gambling can make you more addicted. This is because you have close access to your gambling platform if you want to gamble anytime you can take out your phone open the site and start gambling. While physical gambling you have to go to the location before you can be gambling so at times you may not have the physical strength to go out so you would just stay at home.
