541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been able to win a game given to you in the dream? on: January 24, 2024, 10:18:31 AM
There is this popular gamble in my side called pools. The shops are situated in every part of the city even down to the villages. This gamble is as old as I can remember, from the 19th centuries till date. The focus is mainly draw, that is what is needed to win. The matches are assigned numbers from 1 to 49 and it is these number you bet. Matches drawn mainly from English Premiership,  Scottish Premiership and other leagues in England and Scotland are the major leagues for the Eglish season with addition from other leagues all over the world for weeks where the major leagues are on break. The also feature Australian League during the end of the English season.

In the dream I was given 3 numbers and when I woke up, I told my cousin and we went to the pools office and played the match and later in the evening I was told the game won. This was how I started gambling, I regretted playing it small amount of money but then it was too late to regeet. That was how I have remained a gambler till date. It has been an incredible journey so far.

Hey Casino High Rollers!

🎲 Feeling lucky? I tried a new casino and its totally your gateway to a world of unparalleled excitement and thrilling wins, where the stakes are high, the games are hot, and the wins are even hotter! +They accept crypto

And the wins? Let's just say I've had my fair share of unforgettable moments. The rush of hitting a big win at this Casino. com is an experience like no other.

I really like the games and they are crypto-friendly  🎰 https://bikinislots.com/

It's not just a casino; it's a lifestyle.

Good luck and happy spinning!

Any recommendations for another casino like that one?

It is your money and you can chose to play wherever you want and and bear the risk. Nothing bad about trying new casinos but you must ensure you do your due diligence. You must check if they are registered in any jurisdiction.

Another key factor is to ensure you read their TOS and confirm their position on KYC and country restrictions. Some of these rules may not be a problem during registration and deposits, it is when you want to withdrawal you will have to find out most of them. I have other reputable casinos that I use and they have been living up to expectations so I don't have any reason to change.

Without merits you can post and involved in deep conversation with other member here in fact you are free to do whatever thing you wish to do but you won't increase in rank that is the only disadvantage with the merits of a thing, so alternatively for you to increase rank you need the merits to move from level 1 another level respectively that is to say you must need the merits for rank changing and that comes with creating high quality post or being so helpful to the community.
In addition, merits is what is used for the ranking and without merits, there are certain privileges that one cannot enjoy. For instance, a newbie cannot post pictures and it will appear in the forum. He can only post the link to the the website where the picture was uploaded whereas higher ranking members can. I think there should be other things that earning merits and growing in ranks enable one to do in the forum, hence the need to get merits to be able to enjoy all the privileges.
544  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why people mostly fail in trading on: January 23, 2024, 12:34:27 PM
most mistakes of traders are;
* Having no proper training in the craft to attain knowledge about it.

* Having no experience traders that is good in the craft to guide them.
Not everyone has an access to this so in a way it's not really a mistake on the newbie trader side, some people just started trading and they just gained their own experience through continuous losses and gains and even if they try and find a school that does this exact thing, they're going to get nothing out of that because the market is volatile and they might not even use a lot of the stuff that they've learned in that school when the actual trading happens, mentors are expensive especially if you don't have a connection.
I agree with you Blackhawk because I see some equivocations in his submission even though the entire post is a great one. The first point is a little not clear, maybe the choice of words made it complicated because I don't under how "no proper training in the craft" differs from "attain knowledge". Furthermore, having knowledge is not just enough to succeed in trading as knowledge is just one aspect of it. There are other important things like emotions, personal dreams, challenges and targets that can all play key role in trade execution. Managing these is as important as acquiring technical and fundamental knowledge.

I used to advise people that trading is a long time investment that requires time and resources just like the formal education that is stratified to enable the individual be fully developed. Where traders start having problem is when they expect to become rich within few months of starting their trading career whereas they spent over half a decade in their conventional education yet still not living the life of their dreams. My parting word to young traders is always learn on the process, grow while doing it and give it time.

The QR code on Opay is used for paying. If you scan the QR code, that means you want to send money to the scammer, but you can only do that by authorizing it with your payment pin/password or fingerprint. Could some peoole be so foolish to proceed?

I do not read any message from Opay as long as I do not authorize for it. So if scammer sends the scam message, I can not read it.
It will only take a novice or someone inundated with alcohol or drugs to fall for this cheap scam. Like you rightly said, the QR code contain the detail of the receiving address of anyone who provided it, in this case the scammer. Unless you are under the influence of something, there is no way you will authorise such payment unless they give other things you are paying for. However, scammers are getting smarter by the day, they would have found a way around this that will enable them still steal from their victims. Therefore, we should be careful with vulnerable banking platforms like the wallet accounts. If you are not sure of what you are paying for or where the money is going, it's better you don't send.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What You will do in this situation? on: January 23, 2024, 10:20:10 AM
A few days ago, my house was being cleaned. Three people are cleaning the front and back yards of the house. One of them was playing slots and I saw him. Actually, I wanted to suggest he try sports betting because I often see the guy watching football matches and he does have knowledge about many teams. So I was wondering if I could introduce him to sports betting so he could use his ability to predict every game he knows about.

Besides that, I just feel that if he deposited $10 = IDR 150,000 into a gambling site just to play slots, he would probably suffer a complete loss. But if he can place bets on sports betting, there is a possibility of him winning some money on small bets. Wouldn't that be an advantage for him?
If he watches football but plays slot, then it is possible he has chosen what he is comfortable with. I don't think it will be a case of lack of knowledge.

I will suggest you let him continue in what he is doing, unless he ask you for help. If you interfere and he loses money, he might blame you for the lose. Check how Bayern Munic lost to Werder Bremen in their home, imagine you introduced him into sports betting and he staked heavily on Bayern Munic, by now he will still be struggling to forgive you for ruining his life. Let everyone chose what they want in gambling and be responsible for the outcome.

547  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Saudi Arabia 1M BTC BUY !! on: January 23, 2024, 08:11:36 AM
There is a rumour going on about an potential $500 billion investment into BTC by the Saudi governments, As we know today BTC just dropped below $40k. I am having a very strong feeling that this would be the perfect time to invest, What are your thoughts about this and price predictions for next week if the this "rumour" becomes a reality?
I know we will get to this stage in Bitcoin, a stage where many institutions and governments will realize the potential and beauty of Bitcoin. Even though this may be rumors, there is a popular saying in my country that "there is no smoke without fire". Sooner or later, some of these rumors will become reality. The approval of the Bitcoin ETF might just be the pathway to more cashflows into Bitcoin even from institutional investors.

I can only imagine what this amount of buy will do to the price of Bitcoin. It it eventually scale through, that will be the biggest pump of all time as Bitcoin may see new ATH even before the halving. The mere confirmation of the news is even enough to initiate the bull run.
548  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: January 23, 2024, 07:42:59 AM
The DCA method is again the most preferred because investing in the DCA method is likely to achieve success. The regular DCO method helps an investor own the large asset Bitcoin. And DCA method depends on how an investor can invest, weekly, monthly investment will bring quick success of investment because if bitcoin is invested every week then there will be a lot of savings in terms of price. And it is possible to be successful in long term investment, if you act according to your advice it is definitely possible to be successful.
The DCA method may seem simple to follow but I reality, it require a lot of discipline. Just like every other thing that involves money, emotions will always be engaged in the DCA method so care must be taking to avoid yielding to pressures even while applying the DCA method.

Some of the temptations that can come up include but not limited to the pressure of trying to sell when the portfolio becomes too big. There is a way the money will grow and we begin to imagine what we could achieve with it, this is where the temptation of selling come from.

Furthermore, I have seen a case of someone using the funds for DCA in buying something else. His emergency fund got exhausted and he needed more money for his needs. This is one of those things that can come up even when you think you have got everything planned out.
549  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do i handle my first gambling experience on: January 22, 2024, 10:27:23 PM
Hello senior citizens and my fellow newbies gambler's, now I gat a straight forward question for you all.
How do I prepare myself for my first gambling experience?
What are the things I should expect as a first time gambler?
How do we react to my first gambling results be it winning or lose?
Thank you all for your helpful opinions.
Before starting gambling, it is important you plan ahead and it is good you came here where there are experienced gamblers. If you go through the comments and suggestions, I'm confident you will get the answers you want. I have also been gambling for a long time now so I can share some of the clues I know can be of help to you. First thing to ensure is that you secure a reliable source of income different from gambling and gambling should never be seen as the main sources of income.

When the finances are fixed, the next thing to do is to develop your are own gambling plan that covers how much you are willing to gamble with that will not be too painful if lost and your type of gamble that is most convenient to you. This will help you focus on the targets you set for yourself.

There are many other things but I just gave you what I consider the most important things to do.
550  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 22, 2024, 07:11:26 PM
Give super eagles some credit bro. Wink
They are now 1 goal leading Guinea Bissau, thanks to Moses Simon for that cross ball and even when Opay Sangate was the one that did that own goal, Number 11 Samuel Chikwueze and Number 9 Osimhen were active and ready to scored that goal. Overall, I'm satisfied with the central forward which Osimhen is protecting, the forward midfielders are also active, the defenders are not sleeping too but the way our back midfielders isn't connecting well, sometimes you wonder who choose this guys to represent super eagles.

Guinea Bissau aren't good like that, this should be a sweet and last moment for super eagles in the group stage. Now that they are leading with one goal, another one wouldn't be bad. It's time our coach bring in Troost Ekong to make this game look palatable, that guy has some fire in his right leg.
I must admit that this is the first time I'm seeing the Super Eagles play so well in a long while. The confidence is high and their pass accuracy excellent. Chukwueze was in his best today as well as Osimhen. The only play that is physically present in the match but mentally absent is Alex Iwobi. He is really not in the match and I wonder why the coach has refused to substitute him.

What I don't like about the Eagles performance tonight is their inability to score. They have missed so many goal  chances and that is not cool at all. If they play a scoring side like Senegal, they will not survive it because their will definitely concede and without scoring, they have already lost the match. If they can work on their scoring, I think they will go far.

This super eagles game have really been fascinating but it's a game I really do expect them to win considering the fact that Equatoria guinea is winning the host nations ivory coast, and news reaching me now is that Equatoria guinea is now leading ivory coast by 3-0 which makes them the winners of the group if it ends like this.

Even though Equatoria guinea is a very strong team, I never expected them to brush off a mighty team like ivory coast like this. It's now obvious that this is the end of the road from the ivorian national team, because I didn't see them coming back as a best loser.
It was really a humiliating defeat against the host. How come the might Ivory coast have been reduced to nothing! I noticed that after the set of Yaya Toure set, Ivory coast have been struggling and unable to build a formidable team . Tonight they actually did the playing while Equatorial Guinea did the scoring. From possession to shots on target, Ivory coast lead yet they lost the match by 4 goals to 1. This is what makes football fantastic and full of surprises.
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 22, 2024, 06:50:43 PM
I was thinking the same thing as well, concerning how Liverpool will be able to cope without their hit player, I later realized that one thing with nature is that, nature will always fills every gap, might not be exactly the way you want it, but trust me it will be filled up.
Yeah truly Liverpool will eventually filled the gap if Mohammed Salah is no longer with them but however no matter how they feel they can perform well there performance will never be the same as when Salah was with them because the role of Salah in Liverpool is so important that the club may no longer be on the same shape if he is no longer with them, perhaps just like what happened to Manchester City when Kevin de Bruyne had the injury truly they were able to filled the gap but there performance was never the same as when he was there, so the club suffered a lot until he came back and restore the club performance so perhaps that's what may likely happened to Liverpool if Mohammed Salah doesn't play with them.
It is really difficult to say at this point because their last match was such a great outing even without Salah. No doubt Salah is the main man of the team, scoring important goals and giving the team the needed motivation to remain resolute in all their matches. His absence will affect Liverpool for sure but will definitely not mean the end of them or make them being a top team in the English Premiership.


Brighton are really unpredictable recently. They are lacking lots of important players due to various reasons these days. This has a really bad impact on their consistency level. One day they score 4 goals against Tottenham but the other day they can't score a single goal against West Ham.  Sad  Otherwise I would have really liked to place a bet on Brighton to win against Wolves honestly.

I'm hardly keeping myself from their win right now too though but I won't. Because it seems really risky while Wolves have been in-form for three weeks on one hand. Playing a home game can still be misleading about Brighton here.

Brighton @1.60 odd appears to be a risk worth taking; they have an excellent head-to-head record over Wolves in recent years, and while struggling in a few games this season, they still managed to achieve a very comfortable first leg win. Both clubs have their best players (Hee Chen and Mitoma) at the Asian Cup.
I consider giving Brighton direct win a big risk because Wolves is not a team to write off. Even though they have not been doing great lately, they are always scoring in most of their matches. I will consider both teams score at 1.63 odd, a safer option. Wolves will not allow Brighton defeat them in this match, it will be difficult.
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you blame someone for your gambling losses? on: January 22, 2024, 06:31:15 PM
We should not blame anyone for the loss that occurs during bets since it's something decided by an individual, not by another one who forces them to keep gambling and lose money that is actually needed for something else. If someone is forcing you to bet even against your will then its a crime and you won't actually blame them because you were compelled to obey the person for some reason.
Even though we may pretend that it is not good to blame others for gambling losses, it happens and I can tell you that some people can actually make you change your games. If you do visit physical gambling shops, you will understand better. In my neighborhood, there are people that spend their entire day in gambling shop most of whom are broke and looking for who to give their prediction to play in exchange of a few bucks. They have this annoying habit of meddling in what is not their business and if you are not careful, they will convince you into abandoning your prediction for theirs because their display high level of knowledge of the teams and players as well as some advance casino patterns. In a case they convince one to play their game and the money is lost, there is no way they will not receive the blame. The only thing that makes it better now is the advent of online casinos which makes it not necessary visiting physical shops where the broke experts operate.

For those that still visit physical shops, please avoid those broke experts before they ruin you. I don't know if they work for the gambling companies but the truth is that their games hardly ever win.

As long as life continues, knowledge will also continue to evolve. There will always be the need for improvement as you can already see from human history.  Somethings that seemed fashionable decades ago have gone obsolete as they have been overtaken by improvements. Virtually every aspect of human endeavour is facing the impact of technology, meaning that there is no end to know.

Blockchain technology is no exception to this continuous nature of knowledge.  Various innovations in Bitcoin wallets, mining and others is a simple indication that even the Blockchain is a continuous process that is in need of more innovations to fully harness the opportunities it offers.
556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 21, 2024, 05:37:16 PM
Leverkusen is crushing it this season, right? Being seven points ahead with a game in hand over Bayern is no small task. Their competition consistency is amazing. I believe they can sustain their lead. Though their meeting with Bayern is essential, Im banking on Leverkusen to win given their recent form. Their stability and determination are better than Dortmund last season.
I expected Bayern Munic to lose match but never to Werder Bremen even at home. This is an embarrassing defeat. Bayern Munic has just enriched the bookies with my money and those of millions of others. Well, that is why it is called gambling, we lose sometimes and win sometimes. I will get it back but I will remove Bayern Munic from my list henceforth. I'm not angry I lost money because of them, I just love the fact that the loss now made the journey easier for Bayern Leverkusen,  at least we shall see some variety in the German league.

The winning by W. Bremen today is another proof that nothing is sure in gambling, hence the need to manage the finances adequately so we don't get depressed due to bankruptcy.  I'm glad I was able to resist the urge of going all in on that match.

Harry Kane is under pressure, right? He joins Bayern Munich with high expectations, given his reputation. Its harsh, but if he doesn't win the league or UCL this season, the talk will continue. Though difficult, this is the game at this level.
It is unfortunate that Harry Kane started with no little luck on his side. He is such a great player that the entire Totenham was built around him, the reason they gave not fully recovered from his departure.  I just hope things will turn out better for him. This is the same thing that is happening to Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona.

These institutions have a growing treasury of Bitcoin in their vaults, https://bitcointreasuries.net/

In this topic, I will sound like a broken record/an insane person who will keep repeating this same advice over and over. Don't let the institutions front run you, YOU front run them. Buy the DIP, DCA, or both. You do what you're comfortable doing, but the important thing is to HODL those coins in cold-storage and never let the institutions get them from you. Probably give them a very small amount for the right price. Offer some for seven digits. Cool
That sounds more like it... HODL the coins and "don't let the institutions get them". Such statement is testament to the fact that Bitcoin will be a great commodity in the future hence the need to take our Bitcoin accumulation seriously while guarding the asset jealousy. 

Even when we don't know with certainty what the future holds for Bitcoin, it is our expectations that it will continue to gain the approval of people and big institutions even while efforts are also made to create use cases that are in consonance with the expectations of many and the very essence of its creation.

I will be more than happy and proud to know that I'm part of a revolution that will transform lives, offer solution to real human problems and indeed make a rapid improvement to ways of doing business across the globe.

Upcoming match, Bayern Leverkusen have away match against RB Leipzig and seems difficult opponent team for getting three points to defend the top standings position behind Bayern Munich with easily home match against Werder Bremen. Losses three points on away match against RB Leipzig potential for Leverkusen will loss their top standings position but if can consistency with three points will make Leverkusen keep manager the first position and Bundesliga more competitive for this season.
There is no doubt that this is a tough match for Bayern Leverkusen. The match will test if they are truly ready to win the league or not. Both RB Leipzig and Bayern Leverkusen need the winning tonight. While Leipzig need it to maintain their spot in the top four for champions league next season where they are contending with Borussia Dortmund, like we already know, Bayern Leverkusen need it more than ever to continue their title chase.

It is important to note that RB Leipzig lost their last match to Eintracht Frankfurt, which is enough motivation for them to insist on winning tonight because losing two consecutive matches will be too much for them. On the other hand, Bayern Leverkusen was lucky to win Augsburg last weekend, their winning goal came at the dying minutes. I think we will see a very interesting match, that is very difficult to predict, tonight
560  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: January 20, 2024, 02:18:06 PM

Actually I no that every investors has there own strategy that favours them but however I would suggest that you shouldn't only focus on buying Bitcoin when it gets to $38k because there is no any certainty that Bitcoin price will drop to that price you intend to buy because the reason why I'm saying this is that I have seen numerous of investors who focus on buying Bitcoin only when it gets to a particular price and they waited for a long time and the price could not get to there intended points as such they missed all the opportunity they had on taking advantage and accumulate Bitcoin.
Waiting for Bitcoin to drop to $38k before buying can be risky because it's quite likely that Bitcoin might not go down to that specific price again. Instead, it could only dip to $40k and then start rising once more. This waiting game might cause you to miss out on the opportunity to accumulate Bitcoin for the entire year. Many people made this mistake when Bitcoin dropped to $20k; they expected further drops, kept waiting, and missed the chance to start buying. While getting Bitcoin at low prices is beneficial, waiting for an even deeper dip might not be a wise strategy.It's possible that the price may never reach the level you're aiming for, leading to missed opportunities and regret. It's important to strike a balance between waiting for a good price and seizing the opportunity when it arises.
I'm happy to have passed this stage in my Bitcoin journey, at least I know what I am doing and what to look out for, I have develop a method of building my Bitcoin portfolio that helps me buy effortlessly without having to be confused. Those who are yet should do same, chose your method of buying and work with it to avoid distractions because building Bitcoin portfolio could turn emotional exercise if not followed with rules.

To be specific, I adopted the DCA method some time ago and I have been using same to build my portfolio. I'm happy with the result so far and I'm glad I was able to make the decision to use it. I could buy at the dip once in a while depending if I got excess of my projected income. When I do this, I buy when the market drops and become a little stable within a zone. I don't usually care if it goes further than that after all, the DCA method is in place to buy if it gets lower.

The early one develop a strategy in buying Bitcoin, the better because a strategy saves a lot of energies and time.
