As child while growing up to the age of being called an adult there are moments in my life I have had lost opportunities especially in my university days due to procrastination. It was always an "I will do it later or very soon" kind of attitude and due to it I had certain critical position's I could have obtained in the student union government pass me by because I didn't do things I was supposed to do or participate as at the very time I was meant to have.

Those days thought me many lessons that I had to come up with a mantra " if I don't do it who will", and one other  thing more, my background motivated me to hold on to that mantra as a self motivation to do and involve into things that has the tendency to change and improve my financial background, among other things in life that my mantra has help me to take action upon with hesitation was bitcoin.  Immediately I came to a good knowledge of  bitcoin as an investment asset I took advantage of the initiative not minding the price as at that time, now today the price is three times of what it were when I first started.

Some people procrastinate because they fell that the current price that they met bitcoin is too high and probably the price will fall weigh down and they will now invest big to take advantage of the dip, but that's how they keep waiting while bitcoin keeps growing high in price than what they first met it. Start investing from where you met the price that's why we have the DCAing strategy it's for this very reason.

I have experience some heart breaking experience in gambling, but the one I can still remember is the one I won a bet after so many tries, and I was so excited about it, so the next day I plan on using that money to get some clothes which I really know that I needed it back then,

But the disastrous decision was that, as I set out the next day to go to the market, I have already took a cab to the market, besides the entrance of the market their was a betting shop, so I just had that thought like let me just try again if I can win more, so I went inside the betting shop and start gambling, throughout the course of the betting I was just chasing, try to recover my losses, when all my money was gone, that was when I realized how I have messed up, since then, I am very cautious when it comes to gambling. And that's why I always advise people again chasing more money after a win has been made for the day just go home and relax

It's almost impossible for you to advise a gambler to be patient, a person that gamble's wants to double his money in multiple folds, if he is a patient person in nature, then he probably wouldn't have been a gambler in the first place. In other words, if you advise individuals to be a healthy gamblers then that's more resourceful.
Catching out isn't a bad idea, you can be patient to get the full amount of your stake and the games might not go the way you predicted it to be, it is called gambling for a reason, so you better not be greedy so you don't end up blaming yourself.

How flabbergasted enough were you    For you to have existed in the forum up to a full member ranking you ought to have known all of these by now.

To your question, campaign managers are not the ones paying participants from their own pocket, it's the company that owns the  project or brand the campaign participants are advertising they are the actual payers, the campaign manager is to what can be simply referred to as an agent/coordinator of the campaign.

Just as the preceding comment, no you don't refund payments as a campaign participants, except in rare cases where the campaign manager maybe due to exhaustion out of his many busy schedule made an overpayment to the participants, he then may deduct it from their next payment accordingly, but if it happened that a participant left the very campaign to another within the week he will have to refund the overpaid amount due his former campaign manager.

Hope this answers your question.

This match is daisy and anything can happen in this game, both surely goals are expected to flow which makes 1.5 a good option.

@Idohu did you just say an easy win! I doubt Roma will be having an easy win on this game against Verona, even if they might win the match siting the form of both teams I will prefer to double-chance X1. Not every coach wins their first match with the team.

The eventually ended in 5 goals to nil in favour of the home team Arsenal and it was a massive and convincing win that Arsenal are probably back on winning ways again even though I don't see them as title contenders anymore in this season because the top three teams on the table currently doesn't seem to be leaving any losing ends for Arsenal to catch-up with the points difference.

Op it will be beautiful you maintain just one thread to this predictions instead of recreating a new thread for each new prediction.

Not all gamblers gamble for pleasure or to catch fun with the activity ND for this category of gamblers it's all about the money making and temporary quiting or a break is as though they are wasting away a period they could have been fortunate to get that big win that could transform their life. There's no stopping in their dictionary, fro them stopping because you're losing is attributed to being weak. Giving a rehabilitating support to this set of gamblers  is really tough.

Not long I raised a topic titled License: is it a guarantee?, in it I was questioning the assurance of a licence casino not to scam or in anyway trample on its customers and most of the replies made in that thread emphasized on the possibility of licensed casinos to still scam their customers despite having a license that puts them on regulatory watch, and it got me thinking.

It really got me thinking, as in, why then does license matter matter so much to gamblers about a casino instead of it's reputation over the years. In as much as a casino has been up and doing over length of year reputably rendering unquestionable gambling services to their customers without even obtaining a license then such casino ought to be encouraged by those of us that are in support of decentralization of bitcoin by massively make use of their service, because such a casino is invariable leaning and promoting the ethos of decentralization against KYC requirements that licensed owned casinos are mainly known for as a result of the regulatory policies binding them through the license.

The rapid fall of the value of the Naira in the parallel market is something that should be of a trembling concern to the government as it's an indication that the economy of the country isn't improving contrary to what we get from the government controlled media.

Pegging the Naira to the  Dollar I would advise that we all save our money in dollar because saving your money in Naira in the bank it doesn't add any interest on it but rather your money continues to lose value compared to the cost of goods and services in the country as prices keeps skyrocketing.
The best hedge to your money is to save it in dollars. That's how you can help yourself fight the biting inflation in the country your money.

Op me I wonder what you understand by skill, is it that you no know say for university skill disciplines dey there or abi as them call am professional courses you no come understand am abi? You see courses in the university like engineering courses such as architecture, civil engineer, electrical and electronic engineering, medicine, nursing, pharmacist etc all these can also be classified as skill based jobs gotten from the university but they are referred to as professional disciplines.

There's no competition at all in this matter, any of the area way you are opportune to find yourself just do your best to be the best there to keep you outstanding. For what I know, no how way craft skill man go earn money pass person wey be graduate get certificate wey their two the work for the same company. But based on how we country just get as it be, it go good say you get one better skill immediately you finish secondary school before battling to gain admission into university to obtain university degree. E get why ooh.

Just out of concern I will advise next time you want to play a bet from a prediction given to you be contented with whatever amount the total odds of the prediction produces because adding external predictions to the games can cost you an opportunity you have gotten to win money assuming all the predicted games you were given played as predicted.

Based on experience I have lost an opportunity to win money adding my own predictions to a game I was given to play, all I wanted was the potential win to increase to my desired amount and I guess that was greed. Before my very eyes all the games played as predicted except for the games I added on my own accord.

Lol, who don't like free things!  However, just as Op had earlier said don't fail to bet with an amount of money you can afford to lose no game is sure and guaranteed.  Also, don't out of your euphoria about the free predictions use money that you never budgeted for gambling.
Let all gamble responsibly.

Op just a point to air-mark all what you mentioned for sure are crimes but, kpo fire or bunkering in my own opinion is not a crime, and. I'll tell you why.

The government are a major problem to the incessant increase of kpo fire camps in all the creeks of the Niger-Delta when they have failed and refused to use this resource to better the lives of the host communities and dwellers from where this resource is been extracted from. The source of livelihood of the people such as farming and fishing has been destroyed by this same resource (oil) that the government has unendingly be extracting thereby causing oil spillage to the soil and rivers if the people of the Niger-Delta while they gain nothing but wallow in abject poverty while a source of making money lies behind their backyard. What do you think would happen?

Secondly, provide a licence to these local kpo-fire /bunkering expertise that are now into this business which you the government have now tag illegal, for through the provided license and government regulating the process these guys can pull out finance together and build  modular refineries that will function in an international standard and will help reduce the price of PMS, kerosene, gas etc while they pay tax to the government, but rather the government choose to sit on the reality in their own selfish interest using the media to blacklist the bunkering actors.

While in the northern part of Nigeria (Zamfara) they have gold that is been mined by the local community dwellers whereas it was supposed to be the property of the FG just as they claim the oil to be a property of the FG but nobody is saying or doing anything or attacking those mining the gold's  over there. So mate, this is all politics weigh beyond us.

The government knows the right thing to do let them do it and stop labeling kpo fire actors criminals, as it will help saves lives and reduce the cost of cooking gas and PMS/kerosene. Mind you, if not for all these kpo fire's we won't have been able to have access to kerosene or even afford it.

Out of curiosity I earnestly like to know in what part of the world are you talking about even in this economic melt down that is ravaging the economies of every country, because what you have just said sound like in the movies to my knowing. I will well appreciate you attach a research data backing your claims.
Thanks.

Sorry mate, your guess is not correct. A simple example to clarify issues here is by looking at the rate of migrants moving from the third world nations to the advanced developed nations of Europe and the WEST.

If the economic crisis hits milder in their own country's they will not be flocking to the developed nations for greener pastures where you're guessing that the economic crisis is hitting harder there.

Like you said, it's a non-expert guess.

I totally agree that a change will bring about an improvement but how can this change be achieved as recent recommendations by economic experts has  proven nothing of improvement rather the global economy keeps getting harder every day.

The Op wasn't created with the aim to inspire gamblers to deviate from their responsible gambling norms and start chasing after wins thereby gambling irresponsibly because they also want to make a huge win like the gambler the Op talks about.

 But it's rather dispatching a message for gamblers that are in the course of gambling are lucky to win huge money, to judiciously make use of their huge gambling win putting it into a business or any project that can be fetching extra income to them and not to behave stupid like it's common with some gamblers that still continue to gamble away all the big win they were luck to win, all in the hopes of getting another bigger win than the previous only to end up losing it all.

Take it easy on yourself buddy, good a thing you have that realization that you have turned an addict to gambling at least with this consciousness in you you can work it out with the support of your good friends and family to find possible solutions to whisk you out.

Your addiction didn't all happen in one day so don't be to hard on yourself to get rid of it in a very short time, it's going to be a gradual process provided you're intentionally serious to deal with it. From your detail explanation it appears you're a sports bettor, so I'll advise if you have played one or twice bet for the day affirm it to yourself that it's enough for that day. Take it upon yourself not to exceed twice a bet in a day, continually do this then gradually you will find it easy to drop to just one bet in a day and before you know it you can go on a whole day without carrying out any gambling activity.

The mistakes made by some gambling addicts that wish to stop gambling addiction is that they think it's something that has to be stopped at once, they forget it's an attitude/behavior they have built overtime and it needs a gradual process to also quell it totally and not an instant result stuff. An instant result strategy may turn a boomerang and worsen the addiction. Take note!

It's a pity you assume this real life story to be a fairytale but it's cool, you can see it in that light or which ever way you choose however I don't know why I should be cooking up fairytale story as this I wonder who I am impressing here.

Over here people buy 18 seaters buses a good example is Toyota Hiace bus and use it for intra-urban  transportation business, a single individual can decide to hire the bus for a short time service for his private use (provided he can pay for the service) either to carry some items or goods for them to another location. And it's a common thing over here in my country. Anyways, I don't have anything to prove to you real or fairy tale, the message from the story is clear and that's what I have just shared as I witnessed it.

As a responsible gambler it gladdens my heart always whenever I hear a fellow gambler testify of how he won a bulky amount of money from be it a bet or lotto and uses that money to inject into something meaningful for himself.

It all happened on my way home just this evening. I boarded a public bus and just in front of me were seated two young men too in their late thirty's having a conversation and from the conversation it sound like they haven't met for a long time and one was telling the other of how he had won a big amount of money from a lotto he played and he has used the money to get himself a new bus for public transportation business.

According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.

May the grace of the Almighty work out a miracle to your health recovery. Just know you're not alone in this, having you in prayers believing something positive is possible for you.

Keep faith alive Leo!

An investor is a risk taker, someone that puts his money into a business, an asset or property having the expectation that profit will be made. For It's a move taken under expectation for profit that means in that expectation it is likewise possible that things can go bad and the investment fail to yield added value. That's the risk.

Consequently, I'll advise that potential investors shouldn't adopt the way of thinking I have seen some persons do where they invest into cryptocurrency without having a basic knowledge of anything crypto first, their idea is that they will learn about it after they have invested. It is a wrong attitude, the best way is to learn, gain the knowledge about what you're to invest your money on before you take a decision based on what you have known. What if after investing under crudeness then later learnt about it only to dislike what you have learned (maybe due to its volatile nature) and you regretted wishing you hadn't invested based on that area of risk.

Only invest in what you know.

Days before now I read a post about a young man whose phone screen malfunction denied him from cashing out an amount of money from his bet which could have significantly changed his life. Am convinced that if that young man is offered this option to cash out $1Million for a game he played with just $3k+ he won't think twice neither will he hesitate to cash it out.

As gamblers we should be pragmatic in dealing with decisions in our gambling life especially of this nature. What business will you delve into with $3k+ that will give you returns of $1Million within hours? Now that's the mindset that if put in place you will come down with the conviction that cashing out this money is the best option you can give to yourself as a gambler. If I should be waiting for the end of the game to cash out $31million instead of the $1Million in front of me, what then is the assurance that the game is definitely ending in my favour? For this reason, I will just cash out that $1Million in peace.
