I have followed many of them and I admire them on their ways of hospitality and generous, the profit they make from betting could have been hidden under the ground and not tell any of there followers but they choose to show the others not to give up, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Gambling is really changing lifes for some people because even if I haven't gotten any luck like the way these guys bets, even the codes they are sharing for the followers to win is a motivation.

Though, I have a growing concern on the number of people that are betting. Check under that comment and his previous tweets, you could see how the followers were thrilled and want to bet all their lives saving to bets just to have money like him and this shows that our government has failed us completely. No jobs opportunities and that is why we have increased number of people that want to gamble, ladies are even having more interest in gambling recently.

Lastly, he didn't share that bet with the public, I don't know why or does it mean that betting platforms now manipulate games when they see that the bets is going to cost them their pocket.

This life you are seeing right, it's where you wealth end that another person own rose. What he said might be ridiculous but he said what he said and there is nothing absolutely wrong in it. You might see your salary on another person perfume but if you check that same person, his networth night be what another person use to buy or rent a house. That is how life is, hands are not equal and will never be, it's not even about the luxurious life, we can't be financially equal in this life. Bezoz was once a billionaire but today Elon Musk surpassed that amount.



There is a financial freedom and been wealthy as fuck. I see this post as a normal motivational speech I use to hear from people trying to impress people about on how to achieve a financial goals only to end up selling you books they wrote to sell for people.

You can invest today in hope to have more money in the future but then unexpectedly you hit something more than you expect, there is no way that your life will remain the same. Everything about you will be extraordinary even the way you talk will change because money brings out the real kind of person you are, have more money and see if you will stop at financial freedom or leave more to life.

Lately, I love how African countries have started to dissociate their natural resources from China and other slavery countries because they have more funds to give. In the past years, China are free givers, as what people use to think but they don't know that any time they give free interest loan, there is a bilateral agreement between the country that borrowed money and China thag lend the funds. They don't give without taking from you, if you ask for road for loan for infrastructures and they agreed to give you, th country will b selling mineral resources to them at affordable price, more like discount, these are the things they are good at in other to help developed their own country.

However, I love them. Yes, the world is all about survival, even US, France, UK and many more are guilty of this. That was how France was milking Niger of her mineral resources but when a coup happened, all were stop and all effort to force them in continuity of the exploiting wasn't successful. Other African countries have all wake up from there slumber to eradicate this madness of loan and other benefits from these developed countries.


Is this even possible, I think colonization might not allow this to happen. Check half of the world and people that English speaking countries helped in the late 80s, they were English speaking countries, even China was colonized to some extent. Language barrier is one the reason why I think this might not allow China to dominate the world.

Did he invested before or after?
If it's before, then I'm sorry to say that the future of FTT token is blur and no one can tell you for sure how it will turn out because:

• SBF is schedule to be prosecuted by March come 2024 for guilty of 7 count charges and if he will be going for at most 100 years as many people speculate on his criminal deeds
  
• There are thousands of investors that has loose money to FTX heist and they are  waiting sitting on the bench for some recovery, if the token should come up, there is going to be stress from selling side because imagine a coin that was around $51 and then crash to nearly $0.8, if there is anyone to benefit from this recovery are the people that bought the bottom.
• The exchange is likely to take more time before the relaunch and if there is no utility as the exchange that power the tokens, then it's useless. It will be traded base on speculations and not actual use.

If you are still holding in loss and you have endured since that November to now, continue to hold. Who knows what might happen tomorrow, FTX exchange might be bought back by some other rich men that will have different vision for the exchange and trust might be earned back.

Staking is lock up mechanism to prevent people from selling, there is nothing good about it as I have experience in this market. Let us do some simple analysis:

An altcoin promises to give 9% APR for staking reward yearly. Now, you staked your coin to improve the security as they say and then all of a sudden, the coin start pump and this pump happen in just a week to a new all time high but you cannot sell because there is a penalty if you don't reach the agreed date and may even take 14 days to unlock just to prevent market dump. In the process, if you are a whale that unlock, it's going to inform traders that a load of coins will be unlock to the market in 14 days and smart money will sell their coins and exit before that day leaving you with loss from staking and loss of not been able to sell at all time high. What's the profit you get in staking?

The only time I think it's ideal for staking is in bear market. If you buy a coin, you can stake it when nothing good is happening at that time, you can be earning some good passive income but it's better to unlock immediately as bull run approaches so that when the coin hit all time high or have enough profit, you can simply sell your token and exit the market in peace. Staking in bull market is just a strategy team are using to avoid people from selling and reduce coins in circulation.

If you ask me, I will say fundamental analysis is inherently better than technical analysis but if you understand the both, it gives you lead on how to survive the market. If not for the fundamental news that happened all the time, hodlers of bitcoin will wait forever to harvest their profit from bitcoin. Fundamental gives you lead, more like qualifying your technical.

If you want to set up a trade now and your basic indicators like volume, RSI, Bollinger band and EMA tells you that the market will be bullish and then you went ahead and after like 2 hours the market start to traject upward and all of sudden you read from Coindesk or Cointelegraph that Binance was hacked, there is no way you will live that trade open, you will close it fastly without waiting for stop-loss because it will he trigger in the end, this is what fundamental analysis helps you do.

As you have said, you need to know how to use it and when to use it. The market is experiencing upward moves since last week and that was because of ETF anticipation approvals. Some analyst believe that this is the window period that SEC usually approves ETFs and since we have about 8 bitcoin SPOT ETF pending applications, they might approved some and if they approve that of Blackrock, then the market will react to it, the next move or Bitcoin is going to be $40k for sure.

Michael Saylor! Is that you hidding behind this account.
I thought you are very close friend of CZ, why not contact him straight up and make arrangement with his market makers to offload everything over the counter(OTC), it will be better that way than sell everything in spot, that's going to crash the price of bitcoin.  You bloody liar.

Next time when you want to lie, make some research about bitcoin so that when you lie, you will lie with dignity and not like demented Billy.  Even Microstrategy Michael Saylor doesn't have that kind of bitcoin all to himself and the total under his management  is about 158,245 BTC and they are not selling any of them soon despite been in profit already.

Let me reply you as genuine person by the way. Please don't sell the bitcoin now, hold it till next halving which is just 5 month max away from happening and when that happened, you should have more bitcoin profit by the time you sell, good luck.

Mbape is lonely ever since Messi and Neymar left. There wasn't too much chemistry with Messi but I know of Neymar and that is why he is still struggling everyday to match up with Dembele and Muani to keep the team in better place for the club. Chelsea is not too different than PSG, they are even worse because PSG are in good place in domestic league than Chelsea that sit in number 10 struggling. Mbape also need the Champions League, if he should come to Chelsea, it will take him years before such can happen with this their poor form.

 Imagine their domestic club, a team that ended in 9th place last season is currently sitting on number one spot on the League 1 table, that is shameful to PSG coming from a club that hasn't win a trophy since 2000. I think France played there self do much for depending on Mbape for winning the world cup but perhaps they will not give him much interested by next season if they fail to win the Champions League this season.

These numbers are crazy but you want to know the craziest ones? Nigeria is among the top countries that spend more money on game very day and the reason why we have these increased in higher numbers of gamblers, it's the rate of employment. When a country empowerment numbers is too low, expect to have high numbers of gamblers, even the ones that are already employed still gamble and that is because the minimum wage is low, the salaries are too low for survival.

As of first of November 2023, it was reported that Nigerians spent $975m daily on gambling, these numbers is scary to be honest, this is not monthly but daily. If you should do the math and add the numbers in a month, that means the country spent $29.25B every month in gambling. This is only for license gambling platforms, if we are to include unlicensed platforms, we can get more than this figures, this is very very bad for a country that struggle to pay $30 a month for minimum wage.

For a country that have $479B for her GDP, isn't that concerning? I think the country need to fix her employment numbers, if they can manage to bring down this numbers, these numbers will also reduce as well and if they to educate people on gambling, it will help educate people about effects of gambling.

I'm not impress a bit, they drew against Arsenal which is fair but how do you draw a match that you had a lead in the first half, that's poor performance to end the match in that form. To say that they had all the men around. For EFL, they played another team that sit on 10th position in their domestic league, I expected them to have that as a win and Blackburn has not win a single match against Chelsea in their last 5 encounters.

In EPL, should I say I'm impress, a little bit that they had that as 3 point to move up in the table but they didn't pull up anything spectacular against Tottenham, 9 men against 11 isn't. What will you have expect? It will be difficult for 9 men to play against 11 men without concedeing goals unless it's unprofessional players against professional ones.


Are you expecting Tottenham to get another two red card in their match against wolves? It's not possible because the last one cost them a lot. I don't think Tottenham will sir there and allow such to repeat again because they are already losing their place in the first 4 standing but if they can win their next match against which is feasible, they will come first. If Manchester City lose to Arsenal which is likely not  , then Tottenham will go back to their place.

This is strategy is very good if you are the type that like big odds and usually a single bet type of person but for people that bet multiple matches, they don't care about this. Most of the time, what they are after is having a successful withdrawal after winning a bets.

Some bookies prioritizelower line when it comes to selection of games. Let's say for instances, Manchester City is having a match with Arsenal and we know for sure that Arsenal is in great form and so does Manchester City, it's easy to predict that they can have over 1.5, over 2.5, and if possible over 3.5 odds and so on but some bookies will remove over 1.5 because they know it's easy for that outcome to happen in that match, this is where some bettors like to use multiple betting platforms.


There are some instances where some betting platforms enable some option where you can easily tweak your way out of their options. There is this option they just enable in one of the betting platform I use to bet, they allow GG/ over 1.5 and many more and when other bookies realized that bettors are flocking into that platform because of the options, others enable the same thing and made sure the option was available. These are the reasons why I think some people make used of multiple platforms.

Is gambling now officiall thing to be considered of age? Out of respect, it might be worth it if you are a well respected individual in the community, I will advise you to never go to a public betting place, it reduces respect and dignity you have built but if you play your thing at home, I don't think any person from somewhere will question your gambling activity, not even your kids because you don't use their money to bet. Although, as we age, some strength and skills might fade away especially some games you might love playing will go into extinction.

If you are also sick and old, please refrain from gambling, playing at an old age will affect you psychologically when there is loss, if a stage is reach that you develop a hypertension, they should quit because I can't imagine losing your money and then all of sudden you became angry and then developed a high blood pressure, if there is no proper medical attention, it can lead to death. There are many other symptoms old person can have that could be dangerous in gambling at old age.

Having proper guide in anything reduces failure, not only in gambling alone, it's a philosophy of life. The problem is many people that gamble today, majority are money driven, while few of them are gambling because they love to but still, the motivation behind it is money and few have experience in games, sport bettors are fair in losing compare to casino men, even uneducated people win big in sport betting because they can go to a physical shop and select their choice and then bet but in casino, you need to understand how some games works, even I as a gambler don't understand some of the casino games I see on these platforms.

I think gambling platforms in general should have guide and FAQ for players to read up before they even attempt to bet on any game, doing this will save lots of gambler but if you check the casinos today, the faq you will see around is how to deposit and how to withdraw, that's the only thing they know because that's what will improve their profits, more people more profits and less people less profits, betting platforms need to consider somethings.

First advice; if you at coming to gambling to make money because you see people show off, kindly quit because you will disappointed that it's not how you see the result is in reality. Gambling is more than what people say, gambling takes time, courage, and patience; If you lack any of these, you will not last and when you force it, it will even be bad.

Learn to understand your strategy and be consistent with what you want to bet. If you are the casino freak that loves wagering with multiplier, stick to that and if sports is the only thing you understand, learn to improve yourself on it and don't get over joy when people win and the same time, don't over think when you lose, learn to extemporize your skills.

Don't borrow funds to play, don't copy others bets to play, learn to away when the loss is to much and make sure you take aggregate of what you deposit and withdrawals so that it will be easy to distinguish your losses and profit for that week or month, this particular part is very important, learn to know if you are wasting money on gambling or you are making some money at the end of the day.

As a gambler, you should never mix gambling( pleasure, if that's what you get in fun of it) with business. When you want to gamble, do it when you are away because gambling takes one attention and business or work deserves attention as well, funny thing about playing in work place is that you might end up losing money and zero work will be done at the of the day. It will put your work at risk and they may sack you at the end. This bad habit should discourage by any gambler.


This one is straight forward, I'm not sure maybe by luck some people have luckily win some games with borrowed fund but there is this usual relationship gambling have with gambling, profit don't comes from borrowed money, I have seen people beg for money just to gamble and they don't win, or perhaps the tension of losing the money is the red flag that result to losses. Whether you have work or not, on no account should a gambler borrow money to gamble.

In addition to your point, never allow gambling affect your lifestyle, whether you play for fun or play to make some money, been known as a gambler is a bad profile, people see gambler as unserious people that don't value life. If you are a spiritual type of person, you will under better because pastors fume against gamblers and imam see it as a sin, don't let society know you as a gambler because it stop one from some opportunities.

I concur with all you said man. It's more like forcing what you don't know the end, most of the time it's disappointment that comes with eagerness to get something you can't control. When disappointment comes later, you start to act up in that game and instead of them to forget about the mistake and continue their journey, they are pained with the past trying to recover what has been lost.

I know of a guy one time like that, used his school fees to gamble but lost the money in the process. He approached his niggas for quick help to sort it but didn't inform them that he will be paying school. As a smart person, he was supposed to use that to pay the school since it was due already and then find for alternative to pay back, he went back and bet the same amount trying to recover the previous lost and still lost everything in the end. These are the problems we need to understand, gambling comes with responsibility and not by fooling around trying to win money.

I really thought when you draw a match, it's not consider as lost but as a win because when you drew a match, both teams get 1 point each and by that, participating teams will have ways shift in the standing. Winning by 1 point is enough to win a league. For Liverpool, it was home match for Luton Town and for certain, they will defend their home vehemently, instead of them to double their attack, they had their moment and scored a goal with lead only to opened chance for them in the extra minutes for Luis Diaz that equalized for Luton but they earn my respects regardless because they are holding third place firmly in the table.

Sumilaly, they are doing well in the Europa league as well, of 4 matches that have been played, only 1 was drew and the other teams are not closer to them in any position. Last season didn't favour Klopp but maybe this season will quite end well, winning the Europa is going to be a banger for them to revive the strength of the club and faith of the fans towards the club winning mentality.


Toulouse aren't joking though, they have scored Liverpool already leading with a goal of 1 to nill but I have believe in Liverpool, the worst that can happen in this match is either Liverpool to win by 2-1 or they draw because Toulouse isn't that strong in my opinion but having home as an advantage might be the reason why they are cause Liverpool a concde, but that will change soon.

If you have been in gambling for some times and yiu are yet to get a luck, then I don't know if you have been winning perhaps the player has been losing. As a person that loves sportybets, when you bet some games, how you manage to win shock me sometimes. When Manchester United played against Galatasaray, I picked under over 3.5 by mistake and I didn't notice because I didn't personally pick those games myself. It was during the game I noticed and I was scared because I had 3 outstanding matches left in my ticket and that match was one of it. Luckily, Manchester flopped and they miraculously help my ministry. I didn't expect it to happen and that's one of the ways luck locate you.

Luck is something you can't take away from gambling, like last month. If you should look at Manchester City options, you can have plenty of ways to win match because the win always and having multiple of their options increases odds to many. I had my best moments last month but it seems this month is bad luck even though I win few tickets. Tottenham did me dirty last week, I never thought Chelsea will humble them the way it turn out in the end but nothing spoil, we go again this week.

Manchester United teams are disorganized right now, did you see how Anthony was not descipline during their match with Manchester City, he was roughed. Everything surrounding them is not in place. But regarding available funds, I think they have the best teams for the season even before they start, remember how they needed up in the top four with the current team but something is just off about them right now.

Erik Ten I know for one thing, he does not force players out of his camp but he knows how to act if he is fed up of you. He will not use you in matches, that's what he did back then when he was not feeling Maguire but somehow, Maguire impressed him in some of his games and the rest is now a history. The problem with most his is signees is that they are not free any time soon, they are bind by contract and to sell them during next transfer might be difficult because many wouldn't be buying much. Maybe he should seek solicitation from the club for more funds to be able to bring new players to the club.
