561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one you are good at? on: December 19, 2023, 09:18:32 AM
I love sport betting a lot. Am not frequently betting on sort because am not so good at predictions. So i have a good freind who sends me some predictions whenever i cannot see one for myself. However, am more interested in managing my bankroll, because that is what am good at doing that making predictions on sport betting. If there is a simpler way to be at a professional level, in terms of managing bankroll and predicting bet then i would love to have both knowledge.

Good thing most times we fall in luck. Just like every other lucky person i have experience with taking risk while i rely on luck and it happens to be successful. I was playing an 8 ball pool with a pretty good player and we played intelligently untill we were left with the black ball. I was to play next, the ball was in a tricky position and if anything goes wrong i may loss the white ball. So i have to be careful because it was a huge stake.

I took the risk and had high hopes to get unlucky. So i played behind the cuisine aiming for the black ball and boom it all went well. That was a very exciting experience in gambling that i will never forget.

Some people do make some mistake by minding someone's business is better to focus on yours try to brighten your future. Think wisely that's time you will spend by looking at someone's doing isn't it better to keep yourself busy doing your own it won't be necessary to waste it up At the end of the day you find yourself guilty by not using your time properly at list he/ she will be happy with the little he/she made. And what about you?  You will be left behind. So please let be fully focused on our business.
thier is a stage you will get to in life when you will be more concerned in yourself than looking at what's going on in other peoples lives. I consider it foolishness when i see someone interference in other people affairs and some will even feel bad when they see someone doing better than the. For me, I feel that the level anyone has attained in life is a function of so many decisions they've made in the past and i don't allow it to bother me because it's just nature, if you made the right decisions in your past, it will influence your future positively but if you make the wrong decision in the past, you will have to face the present consequence.

Minding your business will even go a long way in making you to grow in your personal life because it will give you time to work on yourself and make the necessary change that is expected in your life that will make you a better version of yourself, people when de choke eye for other people matter de always land into problems and if you no wan de in that category, you self go try face your front .
Indeed you have spoken well. When maturity comes there are decisions that we would make unconsciously because it cones with the mindset. Concentrating on your improvement, focusing on being productive and managing things that gives you money (work, business and AOB). The aforementioned attributes is what maturity does. We should also understand that age has nothing to do with maturity. Someone may be 34- 36 but his mindset and way he responds to things dhows that he is not matured enough. While you may see someone at the age of 20 to 25 but is fully matured.   

Environment also affects a persons behaviour. Ive heard experience in the market place. We see a lot of gossips and sentimental characters from market colleague. If a person is not matured enough he would join them to sct that way. The only way to survive and flourish in that kind of environment is to focus on your business.

OP, i am not in support with what you said. Imagine we stop posting or sharing minds here on our LB then how are we going to grow here? Staying anonymous means no posting, no messages and no conversation. The forum solely rely on the conversations of individual perception or views. This is why we continue to create good dialogues abd as well bring quality traffics to the forum.

However, we can keep our bitcoin life personal. Since it is something that has value and deserves to be private. Sharing every information on our bitcoin life can jeopardise everything we own. This is why there is a board for general bitcoin discussion only.

Arsenal have managed to get through this week without any losses.They are playing well as a team and have managed to get into plenty of positions against their opponents.I thought Brighton would give them a hard time, but they didn't give them much of a challenge.Arsenal managed to find 26 shots against their opponents and converted 2 of them into goals.It is important for them to continue to maintain their lead because their fans want success now. This season is very competitive and it seems that the struggle will continue until the last week.The points difference is very close and even Aston Villa is in this race.They also won the match against Brentford despite going behind.We can say that Brentford's 10 men in the second half played a role in winning the match.They got 3 points with 2 goals between 77th and 85th minutes in the second half.
You said Arsenal manage to get through without any losses this week. Indirectly you mean that they were lucky and they do not deserve the points they successfully attain. Arsenal had performed well in their last two matches in both league. In the UCL they played against PSV and it was an easy one for Arsenal and yesterday they played against Brighton at Emirate. We all know that it was not easy for Brighton to beat the gunners especially at Emirate.

Good thing they are back on top of the table, after Manchester United has a draw with Liverpool. We hope Arsenal continues to stay on top till the league ends. The fans are hungry for the EPL title, because its been years they had a taste of that feeling of being an EPL winners.
566  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: December 18, 2023, 02:24:21 PM
There is truth in your opinion, people who are addicted will not be able to accept good advice from other people because they think they have done the right thing in gambling and this behavior will produce the results they want, namely winning. even though the results are still very doubtful.


Of course, gambling should not be used as a way to make money because gambling is only intended for people who are looking for fun and entertainment by playing gambling that they like. If people think of gambling as a place to make money then they will experience a lot of problems, whether it's financial, environmental or family problems. And what is certain is that winning or losing in gambling cannot be predicted by all gamblers, gamblers can only play and play.
Getting results in gambling is something that is very impossible to achieve, although there are some people who are lucky enough to win several times even though they have experienced many losses before. It is indeed wrong if we think of gambling as a way to make money, yes you are right, gambling is only for those looking for fun in the games they play, but we must still limit ourselves in the games we play if we don't want to get into trouble our life.
Yes, it is impossible to achieve victory in gambling quickly and easily because along the way there will definitely be obstacles or obstacles that gamblers may never know about. Then they will try to solve the problem with more careful behavior.
Of course, gambling should not be used as an activity to make money, but only as entertainment and every gambler must always be aware of this so that they don't experience a bad life because they rely on gambling as a place to make money.


Not an easy path to make money and be successfull but there are some who manage to win and make a good use of this venue to change their financial capabilities, gambler who use their experience and time to create strategy that work for them to get some decent amount of money from this venue.

Though like what you mentioned, not many or limited numbers of gamblers who lucky enough to control the balance and find the right pattern to avoid getting addicted and manage to make this place as a source of extra income.

To be precise, gambling can change human personality and the mindset of balance and self-control will only be possessed by people who are experienced in gambling, and it is true that not all gamblers will be lucky in the casino because everyone has a different mindset and balance in playing the game. the gambling. and not all gamblers are lucky enough to win, most of them will experience defeat.
If a gambler is no lucky sometimes to win. Then he is not considered to be called a gambler. Yes, there are losses and wins. But for a gambler to not be able to win in casinos at all, there is something that is not right there. He/she should gambling immediately because it is doesn't suit them. Let me understand vividly what your saying here. Are also trying to say that there are some gamblers that do not accept defeat. Defeat/losses cannot be eliminated entirely when it comes in gambling. No one has the best predictions or can foresee the future. This is why there are wins and losses. It is just a game of luck. And defeat may cam when you least expected it.
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 16, 2023, 07:53:44 PM
Why not, i do read the terms and condition before registering in a casino app or platform. Most terms and privacy policy are different in various gambling platforms and if you do not take time to read the rules you may end up accepting what will affect you later. You know most people do not sharing some informations but some gambling sites wants you to share your informations to them and for someone like me i wont accept.
568  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Preparedness is better than prediction on: December 16, 2023, 03:41:57 PM
I directly your saying patience is necessary when investing in bitcoin. Because when it comes to preparedness you need patience to actually watch the market and while waiting you are getting prepared to enter the market at the right point in time. I actually like this method, because it is convenient and it saves you the stress of buying. Because you only buy bitcoin when your ready for it, no panick buying just relaxed and buy them when you are prepared for it.

569  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The high cost of living in nigeria. on: December 16, 2023, 03:30:30 PM
What I don't really understand and I need clarity on it is how dollar rate affects the prices of goods and services, I mean goods that the materials are sourced locally. In this country everybody takes advantage of every slim opportunity that come there way.

Recently, south Africa frowned and stopped to use the services of multi choice company like DSTV and gotv. If Nigerians should adopt this action. I think they will think and consider.
There is nothing difficult there to understand. There are two ways that goods and services are being purchased. Most goods are imported  and services are from foreign countries but there branches or sub divisions based in our country nigeria. This is why they are being expensive. I have a freind who is into import and export, he was lamenting yesterday about the cost of clearing consignment on the border. Irs actually high and this is because of the dollar rate. So i dont blame them if things gets high.

While goods and services that are from our country directly are less expensive because its been produced here.
570  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I ask for refund if casino game has bugs? on: December 16, 2023, 11:24:20 AM
I have never seen a case when casino called player for a refund because slot had bugs. What happens if you think that slot has bugs and that's why you lose? If we follow logic, since casino can deny your winning because they think that game has bugs, you should have right to ask for slots inspect if you lose a lot. Doesn't this make sense? I think it makes but I want to know if you had similar experience or if something similar has happened in history ever.

You can report it to the support and get a refund if there’s really a bug on the game. You can even file for a bug bounty program if the casino has to gain more reward aside from the refund.

But there’s a catch, casino typically don’t acknowledge bug on their games because it’s very easy to fend off users by claiming there’s no bug on their system because no one will believe this single user complaining if the rest of the players doesn’t encounter the same bug.  Wink
The refund can only be made if the gambler has a solid evidence of the bug. Like a comprehensive report, including screenshots. A faster way is to do a review on that feature that have that bug. This will help the support to look into the issue quickly.

Also, if the casino company sees the bug issue as a general problem then they will also address the issue faster and refund the users that are affected by it. However, they will find a good way to get proofs of gambling from customers before they will release or disburse the refund. This is because there are lots of scammers who will claim that they were affected.
571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 16, 2023, 11:17:29 AM
I think loneliness is the reason why people want to gamble, it's too kill our free time. But when you feel sad and feel alone in this life, that means you're not in a good condition, so could do something stupid or may harm yourself. To overcome this, one should try to deal with himself, try to find a good way to fill your energy. For an introvert can try to take me time, while for extrovert can try to meet with other people.

This was not the common phenomenon to all the gamblers,only some people do the gambling because of the loneliness.But many people will get committed to the girlfriend to spend some time with her.The gamblers who had previous involvement to the gambling will easily get into the gambling due to their loneliness into the gambling.Because they had felt the happiness by the gambling play in their past,So they use the money to have the same fun at the time he doesn’t have any companions to spend the loneliness.


Having responsibilities in the form of a family can really change a man. It doesn’t always happen but commitment in the form of marriage could give the man a sense of responsibility and could help mend his ways.
Even with gambling, a man that gambles before he gets married may reduce or outrightly quit the habit due to his new found responsibilities that would help curb any bad habits he may have had. Like you rightly wrote, family should always comes first and is always a priority in the life of a man.

If the gamblers had the commitment with their family,he will try to use the free money to earn more money.He never try to use the time for the gambling,because he doesn’t have money to play the game when their family doesn’t have money to their basic needs.The responsibility may change the man from gambling to earning more money.
You know when your gambling your mind is focused on it. All your concentration is literally on the bets you want to place and wins you are expecting. This way one can forget about the girlfriend all the mutual feelings he has for her at those periods. Still it doesnt change anything, because after he has finished gambling all the memories would be back. Its just like taking alcohol to forget about your sorrow and when the effect expires in your body system. You will keep remembering the sorrows.

So, what am saying in essence is that gambling cannot help you solve a loneliness problem. Instead on the process of avoiding loneliness one can end up being addicted to gambling.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 16, 2023, 10:50:32 AM
Truly today is an interesting match day in the premier league. Bournemouth will be playing Luton, Chelsea against Sheffield United and Mancity against Crystal Palace. I dont have to think much about my predictions. Since ill just be picking only these three matches and add them to gambling ticket. Ill predict Luton to win, Chelsea to win and Manchester City to win. I have string assurance this is how today games will end.
However, it doesnt always turn out right if ill chose a different prediction then its still the three matches but playing over 2.5 this time in a different bet slip.

Welcome onboard brother. I know how you feel on your first Bitcoin. There is this euphoria feeling and i can relate with that. By now i think you may have made your decision if you want to be a trader or investor. I am saying this because it is good you know which side your entering as there are advantages and disadvantages in each side. Both of them are risky and you need to be prepared to bear the risks that are involved. Goodluck to this journey
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: December 14, 2023, 06:51:58 PM
I can answer that question with a simple question OP. Is there any age a person should retire from making and spending money.?

At old age there are expenses to make bills to pay and some other things to do like shopping as well. So you still need money to do this. Yes some elderly people have families and relatives that could take care of those needs but they still love making money for themselve, even at that age. These set of persons, if they are gamblers when they were young they would still gambling at old age because the urge to make money through gambling is still in them.

And since they cannot go and work physical work.  The best option for them is gambling. In my country, the best gamblers are elderly people. My uncle is an elderly man and he has been the who influenced me into gambling and i have won upto 70% of the games he has sent to me.
575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Ever heard about financing a gambler? on: December 14, 2023, 06:41:25 PM
How will you feel if someone you know or just a friend of a friend walk up to you and ask you to finance them in gambling in exchange for a portion of their winnings? Does this even make any sense?
Yes, it makes sense OP. There is no difference between a registered prediction company and a private person who predicts games and people invest or pay money to get those games. Perhaps you must have come across one or two prediction companies. Your freind may be good at gambling and needs investment. Its not a bad idea, but its essential if you have seen his previous bets or gambling so that you can confidently give him your money to bet.

Aso, most persons that do this are people who are not confident in themselves when it comes to gambling. What they is that they find someone who they can rely on. They give him/her the money and expect returns. Thereby avoiding gambling emotions or feelings.
576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are some things you should always avoid while gambling ? on: December 14, 2023, 06:33:45 PM

When you were in loss you'll never know what you were doing. The mind will be completely focused on recovering the loss and the same could end up losing more. Take breaks, and make a comeback. At any cost never borrow money to spend. If you don't have money just keep rolling with no bet amount.

It is a lot of emotion to take a break in gambling if you are already in loss. Most gamblers understand this and it takes you to be bankrupt before you can try to stay away. So except the first instance of staying away because of lack of fund takes a long time than necessary then you can gradually start to forget your loses but if you are able to get additional funds almost immediately your bankroll was exhausted, you are likely to refund the account and start gambling again. So it takes a whole lot of effort and commitment plus lack of fund to take a break.

What do you think should be the solution to this, because this is very relatable to most gamblers around me. They gamble till they do not have any funds to continue that is when they feel like to quit gambling at the moment. As for me i do fal in that situation especially when i exceed the time i scheduled for gambling.

It seems one need to be in that situation to learn a lesson. When it happens to a gambler multiple times after several ignorance to control these habit a gambler will find a way either to stop gambling or force himself to be disciplined. These are the two choices if he wants to avoid continous loss of funds.
577  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you wrap up your gambling session? on: December 14, 2023, 06:15:31 PM
Yes i do. I give my self a particular period that i would spend gambling and i make sure say i do not exceed that time. It wasn't easy though when i started because it requires a lot of discipline. But i consisted and now it is a part of my gambling habit. At first i used to fall for the trap of wanting to continue and this 8s because at the end of most session i end up not having good profits and sometimes i experience loss, of which i would want yo recover those loses by any means before i can close. It took me sometime to understand that some days do not go right and those days comes with losses. Instead of pushing it harder its best to just stop and try another day.

Truly government will not ban bitcoin only restrictions can be made if bitcoin and its adoption starts to affect people using our local currency. With time bitcoin may seem like a preferred choice of money and the government will not be happy about it. Which may lead to lots of restriction of bitcoin in our country.
579  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Heritage is Some How Spiritual on: December 13, 2023, 02:48:59 PM
Do not get this wrong. You will see some clubs in relegation now. If you go back in the past, you will see them in the first league which is the top league in the country. If you need examples, I can make make research about it and tell you. I am talking about decades to a century.

Some clubs are always at the top most of the time because they are richer and buy best players. The have better sponsors and they go better.
I would appreciate if you show me some instances buddy.

No doubt money can influence the performance of a team because they have the money to buy expensive players but there is no assurance that that player will perform well in the team. Manchester united had bought two players last season Antonio and one other guy but what are they doing now? Also, Chelsea bought so many players as well still there have not been much an improvement. Expensive players and bad management will still lead to the downfall of the team.

What is more important is how well can the manger use those players to bring success to the team.

Look at this. I need to put a lot of appreciation for ten hag caused by him manchester united has been breaking a new record again.

https://www.90min.com/posts/man-utd-worst-ever-champions-league-campaigns-ranked
The current performance from manchester united in UCL was the worst even compared to the 90s era. This is the worst gameplay that i have ever seen happened in manchester united. The era for ten hag is finished. The club needs to sack him as soon as possible.
Ten hag was a garbage coach. he keeps more and more bad records. Is there a strong reason to kick him out of the club? Yeah, there is and this is the worst UCL that has ever recorded by manchester united.

Ten hag has unlocked a new achievement as the worst manager that has ever managed manchester united. he deserves to be kicked out of the club. it will be a disaster if the club will try to keep him much longer.
I hope there will be a team that will have interest to sign him as a new manager. Enough is enough. TENHAG out now.

That's garbage coach. MU is having the worst coach on its history.
Cheesy Since Ten Hag cannot qualify for the next round not to talk bout having hope of bringing the red devils to the finals
 At least he broke a new record for  Manchester United. It is not an easy record he did well for it.

Actually it was unbelievable what i saw yesterday at Old Tratford. The worst performance of Manchester United for over 10 years that is what i saw. Something should be done seriously this coming january. Or if the manager cannot perform better they should sack him and get a new manager. Football is full of passion and emotion i dont think the United fans can bear more of this disgrace.  They still have faith and are expecting restoration in the team.
