I don’t like the idea, I think it’s stupid. They should just leave the game as it is, we don’t need anything like this coming in.

Hopefully it doesn’t gather much backing and gets thrown out before they try to implement it into elite level mens football.

Sure, for now football rules  should remain the way it is now as any further intentions on putting new rules or inventing new pattern in football may jeopardize the setting of the game and moreover, just like the introduction of VAR has been helpful to some extent and there are also times when it doesn't give a clear judgement thereby causing controversy in some matches but nevertheless, football rules are better left the way it is for now.

Though the idea would seem to be good as rather than sending a player off throughout the whole match he would be brought back after the tension have been eased, it sounds interesting though but let it remain as it has been.

Nigeria used experience to contain a very good south Africa  team. What a game although I played Nigeria on my bet to win but it ended up on penalties. Poor display from Nigeria midfield, Alex iwobi was completely out of the game, but victor osimhen continue to show class. Nigeria have a chance on winning the AFCON because of the quality they have, they should step up their game in the finals.

This is the very first time I have devoted my time to watch the super eagles play and I must say that I am delighted and Nigeria is blessed with young talented players even though the South Africans played more better but the Nigeria side also deserves some praises because it's not easy to conquer all the African teams they played with and qualify for the finals and with the confidence that the eagles showed in this match even after a controversial VAR decision almost ruined their chances but yet they went ahead and won the South Africans on penalties but they should do more better in the finals so that they can lift the trophy. I commend the super eagles goal keeper for his commitment to ensure that he made some saves right from when the match began till during the penalties he really did well for Nigerians.

Indeed very funny as even a blind man can tell he isn't serious at all and maybe just seeking for attention to why he said such and possibly refer interested ones to the cryptos he actually thought can be more profitable than the top 100 of which no one can fall to such trap even someone that doesn't have anything to do with his money would rather prefer to give it out to charity rather than listening to this  fabricated lies.
644  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling are mainly for rich and lucky mind. on: February 07, 2024, 12:36:01 PM
It is obvious that no good thing that come easy and when you are not lucky in gambling you are not lucky and a lucky person in everything he tries might still be a lucky person on gambling because i dont see what you know you do consistently and is not favourable to you yet you are still in it, that is stupidity to a reasonable man and even if your taking it to be for funs but definitely you are spending carelessly on it and truly the mindset of a gambler is to get not to loose and on a casino game a real gambler must wisely have a plan and adhere on rules to actualize it target and rich gamblers stake high in a low game which is possible to win but does not get addicted  because he analyse and strategize before staking so if it is not favourable to you does not mean is not favourable to some lucky persons and these are the mindset of rich person(mind)not of the poor person (mind).

Just like your heading, the rich seems to be more comfortable with gambling because they're also made and doesn't care if they win or lose so if they win they see it as added advantage and if they lose as well they move on and feel free unlike a poor man or someone who is struggling to make ends meet playing gambling as all his interests would be focused on winning because he needed it to sort out some things he needed in life so in a situation whereas he plays and doesn't win he tends to become angry and frustrated, so on a very serious note to me gambling is for people who are made not the ones trying to survive because they can run into depression and confusion when they play and doesn't win.
645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Selling a property to play gamble on: February 07, 2024, 12:26:47 PM
~snip~

Sometimes I do wonder if some humans actually have conscience at all like why would someone sell an asset just because of gambling, an asset that is very expensive and can take you so many years to recover even if at all you can be able to recover it because most gamblers as soon as they sell an asset in other to play gamble maybe they succeed in the process they now form it as a habit of always selling their assets to play gamble forgetting to know that they can't be lucky all the time.

 It's really so bad with the length in which some gamblers go just to raise money to play gamble that is a game of chance, and the chances of even losing is greater than that of winning. Damn, some individuals are fucking mad I swear because no individual with the right sense of belonging would go extra mile as selling an asset to gamble unless the person is having some brain malfunction.
646  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: February 06, 2024, 09:28:19 PM
People with misunderstanding, these are different things altogether, the difference is like indulging in an activity that does not guarantee a 100% assurance of making money through it, though I see people that trade as though they are into it to make fast money, to me there is no short cut in bitcoin investment profit, most times when you think that you want to outsmart the market, you will end up being outshined by what ever tricks you use, bitcoin investment is meant for people with the spirit of perseverance and patience that's why hodling was introduced, why bitcoin has not collapse is because of the holding system, the premature sellers were bridged with this process, the future and continues existence of bitcoin depends on the hodlers that's why hodling will never go into extinction, people with long term holding mindset always smile whenever the time is ripped.

You see, no investment is 100% guaranteed be it a trader or a hodler as all are very risky and due to some unforseen circumstances that may actually affect ones investments make some people to only be interested in trading rather than investing and you can't actually blame them at all. If not that Bitcoin has a higher level of volatility do you think it would have gotten this far? Inasmuch as investment in concerned, every investor is actually interested in a coin that it's future is certain that's why a lot of the investors are involved in Bitcoin. Moreover, you need to understand that despite the popularity of Bitcoin, it's still very much young looking at when it was invented till now so it's gonna take few more years before it's authenticity can be visible for all to see though it takes patience for an investor to make profitable and long lasting investments.

Let the truth be told most people are just interested in short term profits because they're always afraid of the fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin in the market hence they always panic whenever they buy at a dip and instead of the price rising it still dips further but they fail to understand that every dip gives and opportunity to accumulate more and hold for long term profits.
If someone is afraid of the dip, how will you see profitability in bitcoin. If you have been in the crypto for long, you will understand that dip is one of the most interesting time in the market. Dip gives you the opportunity to gather more and position yourself. Yes I know everyone loves to see the green candles, than the red candles, the beauty of the market as an investor is when you see the dip as an opportunity instead of seeing the fear that others are seeing. Remember if you don't buy the dip you can't sell the top. Those who are scared of the dip are newbies. Without dip there won't be much profitability in bitcoin investment.

It's obvious you are emphasizing too much on waiting for a dip before starting to accumulate but I put it to you that if you have that mindset of always waiting for a dip then you might keep waiting and may end up not accumulating again because you will feel that the price has gotten to a level where you can't afford it and you will still be feeling that you might buy and afterwards it starts dipping so in a nutshell, there is no perfect time to wait for a dip before starting to acquire bitcoins and people who actually expect a dip before they can start buying are the short term investors that all they want is to buy at a dip price and immediately the price increases they sell off their coin. These set of investors are more or less impatient and interested in short term profits rather than making long term investments that would be more profitable and risk free and gives more comfortability to ones assets.

~snip~
But, in a broader sense, can you make gambling a career path, abandoning all other sources of income to focus entirely on it?
If so, why?
If not, please advise!

I don't see any reason or whatsoever that will make someone to choose gambling as a career like is such person insane or wants to have mental disorders? Like no matter how much you win in gambling, it isn't enough to discard other ways of earning an income and become dependent on gambling, a game of uncertainty? Like you win now the next minute you lose and you want to choose it as a career? Hell no, gambling should be played with carefulness and no matter how successful you've become in gambling, it isn't a prerequisite to guarantee you  a successful career in it.
648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any fun in losing while gambling on: February 06, 2024, 08:52:10 PM
Over the time, I’ve seen several post, by users here who, claim that gambling is strictly for fun, even when one is making losses and I’ve paused to ask this question “Is there actually any fun in gambling especially when the losses are more than the winnings?”
Let’s be frank, there are several other things one can do for fun aside gambling and I understand that life it’s own is a risk but seeing claims that people see gambling as fun even when making losses is weird and I think it’s worth discussion as to know if truly people gamble strictly for fun without minding if they’re losing or winning

Gambling for fun as gamblers are mostly advised is just so that they wouldn't be so emotional in a case of losses because if gambling isn't played without emotions being involved then a lot of gamblers might run into mental health like their reasoning sometimes might be abstract from how others do as a result of thinking too deep because of a loss. No one is happy losing funds in gambling and call it fun so the fun there is actually referring to not being too attracted to gambling and peradventure becomes an addict.
649  Economy / Economics / Re: Financial education and why it should be a priority. on: February 06, 2024, 05:27:10 PM
Financial education is a skill that is not been taught in schools, but to me it's the most important subject a man must learn in other to be financially independent.
This knowledge gives you smart money making decisions, and it improves your standards of living, It gives you priceless money management skill, you can't spend more than what you earn as a financial literate.
I still don't know why it's not been taught in schools up till now.
The  rich dad poor dad by Robert kiyosaki explain all what it entails and the stability it gives financially.



Normally, almost every activity of human existence requires finance hence it is important for everyone to be used to some financial systems that would broaden ones knowledge about some business approach one can apply in other to be successful in any business they wish to venture in so financial education plays a vital role in the life of any individual that wants to be financially stable in life.
650  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Just HODL on: February 06, 2024, 05:13:31 PM
Trading is not a good choice for beginners but sadly, many do this believing that they can make it right but the results are disappointing.
Just hope that the next generation will have the time to analyze their position and be able to see their capabilities because it is hard to assume that we can make a good profit if we lack of knowledge and surely it ends up losing.

In fact, many old traders quit trading and are now becoming investors and holders because they know and based on their experience it was the best option to take.

Trading isn't that bad though but it isn't advisable because as a beginner that isn't too conversant with how trading works and to be observing some signs and signals before trading gives so much stress and calculations and one can get into too many losses in the process so buying and hodling is always the best as one just needs to invest your money on Bitcoin, use the DCA to buy more Bitcoin from time to time then just sit and watch your investment grow.
651  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Tips to Avoid Scams on Cryptocurrency p2p Exchanges on: February 06, 2024, 04:52:27 PM
Brother thanks for this piece of information, expecially to our newbies, because 2 weeks ago I also had an encounter with one of this scammers on binance p2p, because I usually bought 30k naira amount of usdt, which I do regularly monthly since i save in dollar.

After I made payment, this guy refuses to release the asset to me, after I have even send him the confirmation receipt from my opay account, what I did was to appeal to the binance customer support and my receipt as evidence that the guy have refused to release the asset, they gave him an hour grace to reply to my complain why he doesn't want to release or his account is going to be blocked and the asset released to me, when the 1hour is almost exhausted, that was when he finally released the asset, why am I say this? When doing a trade on p2p as a newbie, it's very important to that someone experience is present, so as to show him how to go about it, and the measures that should be taken if the next person is a potential scammer.
Please Scammers are getting more sophisticated everyday, we should all thread with caution.

Like almost every day scammers uses new strategies to defraud people more especially newbies are always victims to this effect and sometimes before entering to do any p2p transactions, make sure you're mentally okay like nothing is bothering you at that material time otherwise you might make mistakes in the process. Though everyone should be cautious not only newbies on how they go about p2p transactions otherwise you would get scammed.

From your narration, though online gambling is good as it will make you to take your time to study the events you want to stake on carefully as you are at your own comfort but It doesn't really make much sense to me like gambling has any health benefits because talking about gambling indoors in other not to contact communicable disease from other basically, inasmuch as life is concerned you will certainly be exposed to people that have communicable diseases outside, so it is your responsibility to always go for check up in health clinics to know one state of health.
Though sometimes, gambling for fun makes one feel good but yet no health benefits that's attached to it.
653  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: More BTC...More Crypto on: February 04, 2024, 07:03:25 AM
To me this ban on Fintech is a blessing in disguise because it will spur more investors to use Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency to make payments across the country, so I don't see it as a problem to us crypto enthusiastic, because the p2p method have practically make our banking system policies toward crypto less effective than the way the government expected it to be, so anyhow it is, it's a win win situation for us crypto enthusiastic.

Yeah actually, it is somehow good and bad news at same time because since there is still congestion in mempool and transactions fees are still high, performing crypto transactions like bitcoin will still be very difficult for now and it would be difficult to make crypto exchanges through P2P because CBN might start tracking crypto transaction through online medium of exchanges between crypto to fiat so despite the fact that we are seeking for a crypto enabling environment but the government doesn't need to place ban on international transfer system because basically this decision would affect individuals that performs transactions using foreign currencies and our local currency.

The rate of scam in X this days is really alarming as scammers have been using this social platforms to defraud and mislead their victims which pose a bad reputation to X owner Elon musk, this is really a matter of urgency because if the advertisement of malicious links and  other scam strategies are not brought to a hault then the rate of individuals using X might start diminishing from time to time more especially newbies that's are new on the platform and doesn't understand or know more about the risk involved in using some of the malicious links being advertised.

I believe we all as humans needs a developing mindsets.our mindsets determine the way we deal with thoughts, decisions making and situations and setbacks.i think also our willingness to grow and improve ourself helps in grabbing and seeing opportunity to grow.               Than having a fixed mindset that posses a later look at failure as an opportunity to grow, instead of seeing it as a limit of our capabilities.

Developing ones mindset towards positivity helps an individual to grow in every aspect of life endeavors because our mind is like the C.P..U of a computer as it controls all activities of the whole body so it i necessary for every individual to grow and develop the mind to be able to accumulate good ideas that can proffer good and quality solutions to ones problems.
657  Economy / Economics / Re: Coping with Risk. on: February 04, 2024, 05:46:36 AM
so my question is, which is more risky?

A). Running a physical business that has a whole lot of risk associated with it or

B) running an online investment with high risk of hack that could result in you loosing all your asset.
.

All business are risky be it offline (physical) or online but it is necessary to study the business standards very well before starting to run a business. One should be able to know more about the business they are venturing in and shouldn't venture into a business because you have passion for it to passion ought to be involved but still knowing about ethics of the business is really very important.
658  Economy / Economics / Re: Why we should prioritize investment over saving on: February 03, 2024, 09:57:36 PM
Saving our hard earned money have never been a bad idea, but their are certain things we need to consider before thinking of saving, such as inflation.
Inflation is truly the real enemy to every money that is being saved up, because when the time is right like a year time, when it should be used for it purpose, the value wouldn't be as how it actually was when you started saving it, but on the other hand, if we have been investing that money into Bitcoin, land or gold bit by bit, over the course of a year, the value of that your investment would have added additional value compared to our savings that will be eaten up by inflation.
So too me we should think of investing more of our money than saving it, so that  inflation wouldn't eat it up.

OP I actually get your point because due to inflation the money we tend to save doesn't have value because definitely, the price of goods and services will keep rising as day goes by whereas investing on some assets like Bitcoin will make ones investment to grow overtime till it is matured enough then one can decide either to sell off some of his coins of which he can make profits from it and moreover investing on some fixed assets will make it values to increase in the future.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are you a generous gamblers on: February 03, 2024, 12:14:34 PM

I just met a friend while playing in a lottery called Keno. He is a good gambler and sometimes hits jackpots. As a pensioner with grown children, he is a heavy bettor. I noticed that he is a generous gambler. He uses half of his winnings to treat friends, neighbors, and relatives every time he wins. He does this to invite good karma and since he acknowledges his gambling addiction, people who know him don't question him.

One of his friends asked him why he kept betting instead of saving so he would have something when he needed it.

His answer was straightforward,
Quote
'I am betting so when I win I can share half of my winnings with my friends and relatives who need money like you.
' I was surprised by his answer. His friends felt guilty for asking him. Some gamblers are that generous to avoid questions about their gambling activities and to continue gambling.

Actually some persons are generous when they win as they don't care about their losses but whenever they win they tend to share part of their money either with their fellow gamblers or some family members and some of those that does give family members part of their winnings, does that on purpose because most family members always condemn gambling so if a relative is into gambling they normally say ill things about such a person and even tag the person as wayward and someone that doesn't do anything useful with their money so trying to give his family members part of his winnings is rather a way to shut them up so that they will no longer be saying provocative words to them due to their gambling habits and moreover the reasons why most people see gambling as bad is just because of the excessive loss people experience if not had it been that gamblers win oftenly believe me no body will condemn gambling.
660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe visiting a seer or spiritual house could make you win a game? on: February 03, 2024, 11:59:39 AM
However, I am meant to understand that some people go as far as visiting seers and the rest of the spiritual houses to help them play or see the outcome of the games they want to play so they can win big.

It is believed that gambling is beyond superstition and using diabolical means to maneuver and win gambling though sometimes it may be true that people use diabolical means to earn winnings but I believe that anything that is beyond the physical and natural way of doing things also have side effects that are attached to it so if someone uses diabolical means to play and win gambling then they should also be prepared for the aftermath of the repercussions.
