It is not advisable for anyone to bet on Chelsea for now, Chelsea is having their bad time, they are very inconsistent and unpredictable looking at the despite that Chelsea was on away journey, luck was against them, with the way they are going I won't be surprise if they don't qualify for any European competition, when you except a lose from Chelsea surprises will come and they will win such encounter, I don't really know what's wrong with that team, but I strongly believe that there is internal crises in the team that has to be settled in other for them to get back on their peak, what a bad performance by the blues, I think is high time their coach put up a good managerial skills to get Chelsea on a wining peak.
I would blame Mauricio Pochettino regarding the defeats of the Blues. How can an experienced coach starts Broja and Jackson, knowing fully well they both have nothing to contribute in the frontline, missing big chances. I'm a Chelsea fan and I was really dissapointed to watch the Blues losing against an average side. Wolves didn't play anything because they just apply defensive display and hinder the visitors from scoring. Chelsea dominated the game but failed to net goals early in the first half. The second half, Chelsea do misses and Wolves was able to convert the slim chances they had.

The results of Chelsea matches cannot be predicted. A very different game is played every match. I watch all Chelsea matches, but I cannot make a prediction for the match result. Sometimes they play very well, sometimes I don't recognize Chelsea and they play terrible football.

I don't want to put all the blame on the coach. Players must also take responsibility and come to their senses. Chelsea is a big club but I don't think their players realize the size of this team.
I expected the Wolves to win against Chelsea. I just woke up now to see the live scores I was like woo. If I were a consistent gambler I would never include Chelsea or Manchester United in my bet slip, especially Chelsea. When it comes to Man United I may predict them to lose and they will but with Chelsea, you cannot know when they will win or not. They are the only team currently in the premier league that is on and off. No consistency in their performance. Today they may win and the next time they will lose.

Now you are putting all the blame on Pochettino. The innocent man has nothing to do with Chelsea's failure. If an opportunity is given to a place to play in a match he is expected to put his best performance in the pitch. The entire Chelsea team had less performance and the chances that were created was not utilized properly. Wolves had their chances and too the lead.

OP, the answer is so many people. A lot of people are being influenced into gambling by influencers. Even if they do not believe entirely that they will win. They still want to try and deposit some amount of money and try their luck. I guess that is why most gambling sites do serious advertisements and pay various influencers to advertise for them regularly.

The streamers are often good at playing those games. Like live casinos, slots, and winning jackpots. They spend most of their time gambling not to be compared to newbies who saw them for the first time and rush to go and gamble.
543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites and current transactions fee on: December 23, 2023, 04:44:07 PM
This transaction fee issue is really affecting everyone in everywhere. And the way I am seeing it from here, exchanges are charging more than even the non custodial wallet transaction. Today I was thinking of the gambling sites how they are managing with this high fee era. Or is it the gambler who won the game would pay for the transaction fee or the site and definitely the is the person who is withdrawing. And that will affect them badly.

As a gambler there is no way you can keep or hodle your funds in the gambling site until the transaction fee would come back to normalcy. It will not be easy for that, and gambling can use it to play game until everything would be exhausted.
In the agreement, it is their responsibility to take charge of the transaction fee. But currently, some gambling platforms will split the fee with you. This means whenever you want to make a withdrawal they will take some percentage from the money you are withdrawing and add it with their own to cover for the transaction fees. However, only a few persons currently are withdrawing and depositing using BTC. Since we know that the transaction fees are high then we should avoid depositing or withdrawing with BTC. There are other methods for making payment, we should start to use them now. I think that is the best solution.

Can You imagine how West Ham Utilized their opportunity and won the game, where as Manchester United was busy wasting all their opportunities and they were finding it difficult to score just a goal. I hope Eruc Hag is scaked right away, instead of the shame that he is bringing to the club.
Ten Hag will not be sacked, he did very well in his first season at the club, so they know that Manchester United are just passing through something like a temporary crisis. He will be giving enough time to fix the team. 

Luton are leading against Newcastle United, a very important win for them if they can make sure not to drop point and loose the advantage of the goal. Tottenham Hotspur are also leading Everton, and are just few points from the top of the fable. Good bouncing back for Tottenham after the turbulent period where they lost many key players to injury.
I will always say it over and over again. Ten Hag is not the problem to Manchester United's failures. Am happy you also agree to the fact that during his first season at Manchester United, he did very well. The problem started after he bought some players into the team. Antony and the rest. The team is not complete yet and that is what is affecting them. They are lacking some potential players and I believe that by January they will get more players to support the players they have now. Ten Hag should be given more time to prove himself.
545  Economy / Speculation / Re: High transaction fees affects those who DCA on: December 23, 2023, 04:29:22 PM
I also tried it yesterday and the results are almost the same as what you said in terms of the fee request range, and if approved then it can be executed, but it's still not bad compared to last week, almost 3x more than today. and the waiting time is up to five days before completion. Is this the case and do we seem forced to do it or is it just my opinion, regardless of network congestion when BTC is going up.
You don't have to be forced to do this as long as you don't need money suddenly or still want to keep Bitcoin because you don't want to sell it at the current price. You can use the time to wait for the fees to become cheaper so that you don't pay more fees when making transactions. So don't think of it as a complicated problem as long as you can still wait for cheaper fees on the current Bitcoin network, because I'm sure this fee problem will change again in the near future when Bitcoin prices start to run more stable.
Remember while you wait for the fees to go down you may be a victim of the fact that bitcoin may be getting low in price and by that, the amount you were trying to transact will be low as well. If you wanted to send 0.0072 BTC at 31 dollars when the price was at 42k if the price goes down to 41k you have to increase the amount of BTC to get 31 dollars. So you're losing more of your BTC. I think there should be a better solution for this if a person have to wait for the fees to go down. Who knows it may take longer or sooner.
546  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 23, 2023, 04:20:37 PM
Almost every week we see surprises in the premier league and just now we saw Manchester United defeated that was the first surprise then we look forward to Luton vs NewCastle, currently Luton leads by one goal and if Newcastle cannot equalize the score then this will be the second surprise. As usual Newcastle played by control the match while Luton played more aggressively with several dangerous attacks if the situation is like this, I won't be surprised if Luton scores the second goal. Eddie Howe seems to have noticed and replaced 2 players, we don't know what he was planning but what is certain is that he didn't want to be late in implementing the strategy.

Tottenham lead by 2 goals but it's not safe yet because Everton is still trying to find loopholes it was recorded that Everton fired more shots in the first half
Everton had a chance to score but not to win unless luck comes at the last minute, as previously predicted there will be a lot of goals.
Everton are really proving that they are a tough side, despite the fact that they are losing to Tottenham 2-0 this first half, they've been attacking and firing from all cylinders, just before the end of the first half, you could see that one on one attempt from Harrison, I feel the second half will be really tougher as Everton might see the back of the net, ordinarily Everton where supposed to equalise the game at the first half, as the opportunities where there for them but they had hardluck in converting them.
It's not about how tough you are on the pitch that would make a team win a match its how smart you play with the ball and how you make use of the chances that come at a point in time. Everton indeed has strong physique players but Tottenham are good with the ball. And every opportunity that comes their way they make use of it to score goals. The match is not yet over, definitely, Everton will have the chance to score a goal but they won't be able to win the game or secure a draw. This is because Tottenham has more higher chances to than Everton. With the way they play and match statistics.
547  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Local Base Or International Based Online Casino on: December 21, 2023, 05:54:08 PM
I rather gamble in international casinos than the local ones. When it comes to rules and regulations, security and privacy i trust only international casinos to handle that properly. Am a bit skeptical in local casinos because any day they could shutdown. The reason i said that is because they do not have much partners and collaborators to manage the business properly. If eventually they experience some sort of challenges. Financially or from the government they would be unable to continue since there is no solid back up.

If you look at how casinos are manage you will understand that it attracts do much illegal activities. So only reliable casinos can be able to subdue this kind of activities in other to protect their customers.

There could be an opportunity for Aston Villa to take the lead in the standings by this week. Because while Liverpool are hosting Arsenal in a really challenging game Aston Villa have a very comfortable home game against Sheffield Utd. I expect a really easy win for Aston Villa considering how much they are in form these days. Nothing below is acceptable for them now.

They are going to play their game before the Liverpool - Arsenal game as well which means they will probably take the lead temporarily already. Like I said before I feel like Liverpool will win against Arsenal at Anfield. But if we get a draw then congrats to Aston Villa on their lead.  Grin
Dont get your hopes too high. Expect the unexpected to happen at Anfield soon. Also, @velvet78 there is no certainty that Liverpool will win Arsenal. The both teams are playing well and we saw last season Arsenal was leading with 3 goals untill Liverpool came back to equalize 3 to 3 to secure a draw. Arsenal is currently better than last season. Because in this season they are conceeding less goals because their defence are much stronger now. With the likes of Saliba, Gabriel, Ben white and Declan Rice as a DM. Liverpool should be more careful because Kai Havertz is ready to score at anytime in the match.

OP, not mistaken you have done well to start such a topic. But this is not the appropriate thing to do. The forum is a general place to ask questions and gets feedback from various boards and sub boards. Its not possible to house all the questions here in the forum in this topic you created. Even mega boards like gambling discussion would be congested. By now you should understand how things work here or if you dont you cane make more research and learn about the forum and how the boards and sub boards function.

Do you think Me starting gambling would effect me in my real life or make me addicted to gambling. What’s you suggestion and advices.
It is frustrating when members of the forum allways talk about being addicted to gambling as a crime or offence to nature. In life no one is perfect, regardless of the level of discipline anyone have there is something that unconsciously they are addicted to. It could be drugs, sex, money, and smoking e.t.c. There are lot to mention, i just mentioned the ones that are popular and much in the society.

OP, if you have some few bucks you can start gambling immediately. Do not be concerned about being a gambling addict. Understand the gambling system. Such as your bankroll, know when to quit, learn how to control emotions and all that. These are things you should consider when you want to start gambling. Thank you
551  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 21, 2023, 04:55:23 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.
Of course, every gambling player has changes in behavior when they win and lose. This is natural, because we humans definitely have expressions in a game. When we win, our expression will certainly be very enjoyable, in fact we will go on a spree. When we lose, we will become angry with everyone, including our own family, some even get serious to the point of violence.

That's why many people say that every gambler must be good at controlling emotions, including controlling our behavior when we lose so as to avoid things we don't need to do. Emotions are normal but don't take it out on your family, win or lose, our behavior towards your family remains normal, that's what is called a responsible gambler.
It should be a must to know how to control emotions as a gambler so that you wont use out of frustration to destroy what you have built in years in just one day. An alternative to control emotions if its difficult is to get a little bit of alcohol go inside your room, lock the door, drink and sleep till you wake up. After your awake you will have a different feeling and your mind would be at peace because the anger anf rage that was there when you lost huge will all be gone
552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 20, 2023, 04:15:02 PM
then what about Manchester City, they are becoming more and more worrying day by day and are very far from their usual performance like at the start of the season, they are losing a lot of points, and yesterday's match they only got one point against Crystal Palace because the match ended in a draw, Guardiola's squad couldn't added more goals, and ended with a score of 2-2.

but it is reported that KDB and Erling Haaland are ready to return to the field because they can be said to have recovered from their injuries, and is it possible that with this Manchester City can return to the top of the standings?

There isn't much to say about it, and there's no guarantee they'll return to the top of the league. After the players return, they will still have to go through the process of recovering themselves back in the field, which can be the most difficult part of it all. Long periods of inactivity always have an impact on a player's performance when they returns to the pitch. With the way the top teams are performing, there is no guarantee that they will return to the top of the table so easily, even with their entire squad back. All I can say is that the way they lost points to small teams will not happen again, and they will try to minimize how they lose points to those smaller teams.
You cannot say the way they lost point to small teams will not happen again, this is football anything is possible to happen, those teams you call small clubs are the hurdles you need to get pass through before winning the league, last season their losses and draws weren't that much at this point in time of the season, even with return of KDB into the squad, it will not automatically make them spring up into winning ways, it will take time and that time it will take other clubs too like arsenal are tightening their loopholes.
Your right buddy. This is football and i have never seen a sport that predicting what will happen is difficult as football. Right now we may see Manchester City down on performance, Losing to smaller teams, drawing to big clubs as well yet at the end they may still be the winner of the league. We have only gone 40% in the league completion. There are still lots of matches to be played and if Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa do not take guide. Manchester might go to the top. Anything that makes Manchester City top the league table, certainly they will win the league.

This is the new generations (Gen Z) were people do not think of the after effects of things before doing them. People now live for the present instead of the future. Perhaps you may have heard of the saying "enjoy it while it still last"/ Although we never can tell how the future is but having a healthy living doesn't cost much. We only need to adhere to simple precautions and avoid things that may or could affect us. Taking two bottles of soft drinks everyday may not affect your friend OP, if he is someone that does excessive everyday or go to the gym. This is because during exercise a lot of calories are burnt and sugar are digested to form glucose which gives energy in the body system. If your friend does not do any exerciser then it could affect him/her. Sugar is meant to be moderate in the body system, it shouldn't be too high or too low.
555  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: How close are you to your father? on: December 20, 2023, 03:50:54 PM
Family are not meant for one alone be it woman or man the family needs the both parties to be able have a successful home any family that is lacking one parents almost lack everything because you would see them misbehaving especially the girls when they noticed their father aren't there they feels like they have all access to do whatever they wanted, somehow the boys are more cultured due to the presence of their mother but the girls don't care about what their would say.

That is why today as a man of the house no matter how tight you are at work place endeavors to come at least twice a month to seat and meet with your family to spend quality time with them so that none would go astray due to bad influence from friends and relatives it's important that your kids feels your impact to the family than spacing them due to work nature.
And these days working class parents hardly have time for their children and that make some of them to put their children in the boarding schools so that they would have time to work.
I rather not prefer the working class parents. There is this parental distance that start when you send your children to boarding school. Normally there are advantages of disadvantages of boarding school but ill point out a few disadvantages that has to do with family not being close to another. My very close friend started boarding school at the age of 8 and from there he go admission to the university that is where we met. Because of all these long distances he has no bond with his family like that family love and all that. He can stay two to three months without calling his dad or mom. And this was how all of them in their family were brought up. Currently now no one cares or checkup on each other, hes father has realized and is trying to pull the family back but to no avail because they are already used to that live. They cannot miss home or remember home because they have been far from it in the past.

558  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 19, 2023, 11:21:02 AM
I would say Manchester United management should look for a new coach now. Ten Hag can't do well with this squad, it's proven. And yet if Ten Hag is given a chance then Manchester United's performance will be poor next season. Manchester United may not get the benefits of appointing a new coach this season. However, their chances of doing well in the coming season will increase. However, it is unlikely that Manchester United will sack the Ten Hag before the end of the season. Despite spending a lot of money, Manchester United have not fared better.
That's exactly my suggestions because if he continues to coach Manchester United I'm afraid they will surely get more worst next season because Ten Hag strategy is not helping Manchester United anyway at all because even if they did not perform too well on there last season but cannot compare there last season with there performance on this season because is obvious that they played well last season than this there current season.

But however I don't know if Ten hag is not watching Manchester City matches to see how coaching pattern should be for a club to have a good performance because if he has been watching there matches he would have realize that he is not helping Manchester United in anyway, actually at first I was thinking the reason why Ten hag is having difficulty to handle Manchester United was because he was still new in Manchester United but it has become obvious that he is not capable of leading Manchester United to were they are supposed to be, so if the management did not take action after this season they will face the same challenges next season.
I arguable disagree with you mate. Manchester United downfall is not as a result of poor coaching from Ten Hag. Its actually from the type of players. In performance wise.  There is something that needs to be resolved. But dont you think the dressing room unrest is the cause of this recent performances.  This same players ten hag used them to make a decent home run last season losing to only brighton.  But now Old trafford is now a playground.

There is this recent news of getting a new manager for Manchester United. Although, Graham Potter is expected to be high on Manchester United's shortlist of managerial candidates once INEOS are running football operations - if they decide to part company with
Erik ten Hag. We hope to see the outcomes and personally i have mich expectations to see what Potter can do if there is an agreement. At least for sometime there will be less of nagging from Manchester United fans.
559  Economy / Gambling discussion / Have any one had experiences with banned bank/providers because of gambling? on: December 19, 2023, 09:58:34 AM
I find this very frustrating when i see people complain about their funding bank/provider account being banned because of gambling related activities. My younger just called me and told me his raven account was banned and he has been using it to deposit dollars in his gambling platform and also paying for subscriptions online. I want to get this clear.

Is it because of the gambling activities that got his account banned or it is because of the legitimacy of the funds that raven are more concerned about?

Is there any gambling platform that needs to be avoided?

Since i woke up we've been trying to contact their support for complaint and no response yet. Is there anyone with similar experience?

Don't be deceived, not every gamblers who actually claims that they won really won.
Pure facts. I know that most gamblers fake their wins. And most time it is because they have had a big win in the past on one or more gambling occasions so there is this pride or should i say hierarchy they would want to maintain. In a situation where they have been receiving praises from other gamblers based on how good they are in gambling. They would love to maintain that reputation this is why most of them lie about wining when they did not.
