721  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Nigeria Announced to increase fuel to 720 on: August 14, 2023, 06:17:38 PM
Omo nawa ooo, this country e get as e be ooo, people nava recover from the first fuel price way be 520 naira and they increase it to 620 e nava do them just this morning it was announced that fuel should be sell on the rate 720 naira per litter, things are really going to be though in this country, maybe the only way for us to survive is to diversify our means of transportation by going for electric car or motorcycle just like a topic created on this thread on how electric car will help to remedy lack of movement caused by increase of fuel, this is actually the time for it.

The cost of living in this country is something else ooh Very soon the price will rise to 1000 per litter, and the annoying part of it is that the increase has greatly affected food stuffs, things we normally buy on a certain amount is no longer sell on that way. Even gas price has also increase, the question now is that how much more can Nigerians take?
They wouldn't allow the poor to breath 720 naira na serious suffocation the price dey 620 self na problem talkless say dey come increase am reach 720  anyway labour union don talk say na total shutdown if they try increase am to 720 link https://tribuneonlineng.com/nationwide-strike-will-commence-without-notice-if-fuel-pump-price-is-increased-again-nlc/?fbclid=IwAR0SmvxNpV0JWeY6p4_uPjGMP2XtrT0w1p9CvRwbbK6VCD5TI9U8KsYQYRQnd

722  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins profits or bank profits, which best? on: August 14, 2023, 12:06:41 PM
Bank investors have more certainty because there capital is completely safe but they give 8-10% annual profits to the investors of per year. But it is comparatively less in terms of profits.

On the other hand you will get constant profits from crypto as if you are experienced in trading then daily profits is possible. Otherwise you can get profits by investing. However crypto investment puts your capital at greater risk (main point).
Banks will only give small interest even with a reasonable deposit monthly though funds is safe, however investing in Altcoin that suddenly gain a massive pump in  it price will yield multiple profit for instance when XRP recently won a case against SEC there was a massive pump in it price I am very sure investors in that Altcoin will earn some massive profit after that Judgement compare to saving the money in a bank, though alot of research has to be done by an Altcoin investor to avoid investing in wrong coin because of risk involved in crypto CoinMarketCap is a very helpful tool to determine the potential Altcoins that worth investing on.

Neymar is set to undergo his medical examination in Paris within the next few hours, before finalizing a 2-season contract with Al-Hilal. This transfer is expected to bring in just under €100 million for PSG, including bonuses. Following his medical, Neymar is anticipated to make his way to Riyadh sometime this week. I'm not surprised by this transfer, since the rumors first emerged, I was already convinced that Neymar would move to the Arab league, as his high salary makes it impossible for European clubs to sign him.
It's nice to see Neymar team up with the likes of  Ruben Neves, Kalidou Koulibaly and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic at Al-Hilal, It obvious that a mouthwatering offer worth €100 million paid to PSG is too massive to be rejected by the club considering lack of game time of Neymar Jr due to injury in PSG and lives a lavish lifestyle in Paris, though he is a very skillful and talented player if fit, it's now obvious that all the Saudi Arabian bound European based players are after money even players who are not close to retirement like Neymar couldn't resist the juicy contract offered by Al-Hilal which I believe will be more than what he earns in PSG.

However, we can't stop people give their own opinion about what they've seen and heard in different social media platforms regarding about bad news in scamming scenarios that happened using cryptocurrency as a bait. We should expect the instant discrimination of cryptocurrency from the people who don't know how Bitcoin and Blockchain works.
It was their opinion and I respect that but that is wrong. We have correct them as early as possible in order to stop spreading false information and would stop confusion. Indeed, Bitcoin has nothing to do with the crime but people make it as a tool to promote criminalities and fraud, it was the tool for the success of their evil plan and so many people hated Bitcoin. They need education, they need clarification about Bitcoin and so these speculations spreading around will be over otherwise, we still hear negative things about Bitcoin.
It's a pity that some people use Bitcoin to perpetuate crime because of it anonymity thus trying to tarnish it image and paint Bitcoin in a bad light, however even fiat and other payment gateways are also used to commit crime yet no one complain about it, I think there should be a massive awareness of Bitcoin to clear the doubt of many people who think it is the only tool used by criminals and I am aware that no individual or organization can exchange a huge amount of Bitcoin to fiat without KYC I think this measure will scrutinized those people who intended to commit crime with Bitcoin particularly those who laundered Bitcoin for their nefarious activities.

Based on the match between Chelsea vs Liverpool both teams did a good job. Chelsea actually looked slick, it's just that the front line is still a little dull, maybe because the striker's position is not very reliable for finishing.

But Chelsea was the better side in the second half took most of the possessions and mounted pressure on  Liverpool defence line unfortunately their final third was very poor Sterling, Jackson and Modryk couldn't convert their chances, however there is positive improvement on the team and a good job by Pochettino I hope the team sustain this performance in the subsequent matches.

Overall Liverpool did not play too aggressively and only tried to surround the opponent's defense. As for the referees, you can see a yellow card almost every minute. lol
Honestly Liverpool weren't in their best in the game except during the early minutes of the game thereafter struggled to control the game, Salah was frustrated he couldn't play well at the wing it was obvious that he was angry when he was substituted in the second half.

Many people suspect that this referee is always controversial with his decisions and it's been proven. So I'm not surprised to see a lot of cards coming out of his pocket. A draw wasn't too bad for both teams, although unfortunately in the final minutes Chelsea's counter-attack almost paid off.
I think these are some of the new rules in EPL a player must not show gesture or complain to the referee when fowl each player from both teams were shown a yellow card for that attitude and time wasting also attract a yellow card and addition of enough extra time.

My people, e don happen o!  Bureau De Change (the people wey dey incharge of forex aka foreign exchange) don dey tell federal government to ban Binance to save our Naira. This one shock me no be small. I don't know how Binance take dey make our Naira weak abi na Binance dey manage our economy. This one show say the people wey dey handle some of these agencies no even know the things wey fit affect our currency. I truly dey feel bad for this kind news.

Truly those who are in charge of affairs in CBN are clueless they  knew less about the economy good to know that the present CBN governor is a mechanical engineer on August 11th held a press conference link blaming the Diasporans for the naira free fall so it is now a crime to receive money from our beloved ones living in abroad, Bureau De Changers is blaming Binance while CBN is blaming Diasporans and some local banks.


We all know say our government no gree create job for the youth, now cryptocurrency na one way youth take dey see food chop, if them ban Binance, imagine how many youths using P2P to see food wey go dey affected.
Binance P2P been help wella even when CBN been dey worry people wey use cryptocurrency. Naija people were still able to exchange, do business overseas and this help plenty people make a living. This will be very painful if government come ban Binance for Nigeria because plenty people wey create account for Binance used their BVN or NIN to do KYC verification.  So if government ban Binance, them no go get access to these portals and there are other ways them go mandate Binance not to allow Nigerians use their exchange as e suppose be.

My people how una see this matter?

For those wey wan read the news in detail, Peoples Gazette carry am.

If government like make them listen to those Bureau De Change people wey said make them ban Binance that one na there problem because Binance has come to stay we go still dey use VPN run am thank God say transactions na anonymously, trust Nigerian youths now them know how to bypass anything, wetin consign Binance with naira depreciation and loss of value instead of those Bureau De Change operators to digitalize their operations using P2P make them enter competition with Binance they come dey talk rubbish, they no reason am when CBN announced floating of Dollar against Naira which cause naira to start falling because we are important dependent country.

I don't understand some of the decisions made by Tuchel at all. He starts with Tal instead of Kane and yes, Kane is not in the teamplay yet, but he is in top physical condition thanks to his training at Tottenham. Coman also the same, despite being one of the best in the team. The line-up was also far too defensive against Leipzig. So it may well be that he could soon have to leave the club.
Tel didn't play well enough in this match, Even though if we think about Tuchel it's better to play Harry Kane from the early minutes it's likely he will be able to contribute his goal in the first match with Bayern Munich. A lot of news developed before this match started where it was believed that Harry Kane would win the first trophy with Bayern Munich but in reality he failed again because Bayern Munich suffered defeat in this match.

For Tuchel, it is most likely that he must be able to give his magical touch in arranging the line-up for each game, because he has to entrust full faith in the players who have been brought in this season. Otherwise i think tuchel would have ended his career early with Bayern Munich.
Harry Kane transfer was formalized in the morning and Bayern Munich game against RB Leipzig was played in the evening there is no point starting him from the beginning of the match, he hadn't had any prior training with his teammates and use with there style of play,  personally I think Tuchel shouldn't have played him except if Bayern Munich was comfortably leading or playing a draw thus to afford him the opportunity of winning a major trophy in his career, unfortunately came on when Bayern Munich were already two goals down thus made little impact in the match, all well and good he is sure of winning a trophy at Bayern Munich compare to staying iif stays in Tottenham.

Arsenal wins against Nottingham with 2-1 scoreline. Good control over the match but I feel they should have scored one more goal. Gunners had plenty of chances which went wide or saved by Turner and also at the end I think Arsenal players were tired while tracking back counter with Elanga on the ball and conceded the goal.

I would say a good start by Arsenal with new PL campaign but I think Arsenal are much capable of posting even better scoreline.
I was still surprised by Martinelli's assist and immediately Nketiah fired in the shot that led to Arsenal. Then there was the spectacular goal scored by Bukayo Saka and even Kai Havertz was speechless to the point of holding his head because he was so surprised to see the goal. In the second half Arsenal struggled quite a bit and couldn't add to the number of goals and instead they were hit by a quick counter attack from Nottingham which made them concede one goal. A deserved victory for Mikel Arteta's squad at the start of the season and these 3 additional points keep Arsenal still below Manchester City with a goal difference.
I think Arsenal should always convert their goal chances else they would get punished by their opponents it happened last weekend when Kai Havertz missed two scoring chances but missed though luckily won that match via penalty shootout after trailing Man City but luckily equalized during regulation time, the same scenario almost played out in today's match against Nottingham Forest after leading by two goals yet they failed to score more goals to seal their win and nearly drop two points when the visitors scored their first goal thereafter started mounting pressure against Arsenal trying to score their second goal to end the match in a draw.

If you are onto gambling for the first time it's not possible to get addicted to gambling because you haven't tasted what winning feels like, you will be consumed by doubts and uncertainty.

But wait till you have a taste, win some money, that's where you start feeling like there is more if you keep digging, is this not where gambling addiction starts?

We have had a lot of conversations about gambling addiction, but I had the same conversation with someone close yesterday and this was my answer to him.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to gambling when you haven't win a dime or after you win?

I think addiction starts after you win, even if it's just once, that's when you start gambling recklessly and you also start betting higher.

We have different individual approach or mindset towards gambling from my own personal perspective winning a bet doesn't set off addiction in me because I knew gambling is a game of chance and luck thus a consistent winning streaks isn't possible and never guaranteed in most cases I do withdraw my winnings after two or three wins and left with the small fund for staking another bet rather than leaving the whole funds with hope of staking high to win massively that is when addiction and greediness will set in, however when I lose the only small fund for betting I prefer to fund my account with the same amount of fund just to avoid addiction and chasing my losses.

3-0 is very decent scores for Manchester City and since the beginning of match Burnley has been attempts to playing with more defensive and it proven from their strategy that Kompany using 5 defender players because he know the quality of Manchester City players especially Haaland that the key is how to guard this player and prevented him from scores but their players were failed to guard this player that Haaland know Burnley weaknesses so he can able to utilized that and scores 2 goals so this is fantastic opening match for him and Manchester City and i think this is just the beginning because i am sure there will be more goals to scores from Haaland for upcoming matches and for Burnely they had just resumes their poor records from Manchester City that lose with big scores
Vincent Kompany meeting his ex coach, Pep Guardiola in the Turf Moor stadium. Such a pleasant excitement to meet one of the best coach in your first EPL game. City thrashed Burnley 3 nil without stress. I heard the EPL would be difficult for some players specifically pointing to the direction of the Norway international, but he caught everyone off guard when he scored twice. Erling Haaland is the top striker that knows basically how to handle the frontline for Manchester City.  He scored a brace within the range of 36th minutes in the first half, Burnley were easy opponents to take on.
Honestly I think Vincent Kompany side Burnley would have wish to avoid playing against the European champions on the first day of the league, I expect Man City to be ruthless in their first match having lost the community shield against Arsenal last weekend thus I am not surprise with 3-0 convincing win against Burnley, it took Halaand just 4 minutes from the commencement of the match to register his first goal of the season thereafter made it 2 goals while Rodri scored to make it 3 goals, well the league had just started and hopefully after today and tomorrow matches we will start to access the potential and formidable clubs that would challenge Man City for the league title.

I won't rely my trade in indicators because it will only depend on the previous price movement and it's a little bit laggy. Instead, you should know how to read the market using price action only. Price action must be your main strat and then you can add those indicators as confluence. For beginners, it's a highly recommended that you didn't use high leverage, don't fall for potential profit because the risk is so high. It's better to use low leverage so that you can survive in the long run and you can master what strategy that is really works.
Honestly the OP think relying only on MACD indicator without considering the fact that some of those indicators lagged in Live trading in some cases Price reversal had already commenced when some of those indicators signals buy or sell, Candlestick patterns are the real indicator couple with Ema for trend direction and RSI or Stochastic Oscillator used to determine overbought and oversold of the price, Moreso the OP should rule out using high leverage for a new trader just to earn massive profit in jiffy ignoring the fact that a price reversal will liquidate their account completely, trading is not a get rich quickly job but a long term profit earning venture a 2% to 5% monthly profit is enough with a huge capital.

Eden Hazard is getting old and he is not a 32-year-old player but still, he doesn't want to get retired at this age and he got offers from other teams to leave Real Madrid for another destination in the next season. His most interesting offer is from Inter Maimi in MLS so he can join players like Messi in the American League and play there for the last years of his career and get retired there.  

Nice to read that finally a star is not going to saudi arabia, but to america. The country will probably be a lot more fun in the last 2-3 years of his career. Even if he will earn less money there, playing with messi is cool. Playing with ronaldo is great too, of course. I think there is a different sense of community, because david beckham owns the club and play soccer very successfully in his career. In the future i hope a few more players will go to america and make football better there.
Of course those who go there are players who are no longer able to compete in top European teams or players who are old.
Eden Hazard has no other choice now but to go to MLS or the Saudi Arabian team, he is no longer wanted by the top European teams, so I think now he just needs to choose, earn more money for the Saudi Arabian team or enjoy the rest of his football career ball in MLS, but it is true that he is getting closer to Inter Miami, following in the footsteps of Mesi and several other top players who have joined there, I think it was also an attraction to convince Eden Hazard to join them.
I hope Eden Hazard dwindling career is rejuvenated in MLS, it's a pity a once potential Ballon d'Or candidate while playing for Chelsea with a very promising career un nosedived after he signed for Real Madrid and plagued with injuries, I think teaming up with the likes of Messi, Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets in Inter Miami will help to relaunch his career provided that he is injury-free, they quartet would surely form a strong and formidable squad if all played at the same match, Eden Hazard playing in MLS will also help him in his international duties compared to moving to a less competitive Saudi Arabian league because he is still a good player in Belgium national team

Liverpool has reach an agreement with Brighton to gets Moises Caicedo and they have to spend 110 millions to gets this player and previously Moises Caicedo often linked to Chelsea and even Moises Caicedo has personal agreement with them but apparently Liverpool were successfully to hijack him because Chelsea only dare to bid 100 millions and suddently Liverpool has came with 110 millions and this offers make Brighton agree to release him to Liverpool and this price currently broke the record as the most expensive midfielder in the Premier league after Enzo Fernandez and reported Caicedo will do medical check soon however i never thought this transfer will be happened because previously Liverpool were working on to Romeo Latvia transfer
Brighton is one of the teams in the Premier League that likes their players with high price valuations, which is why they delayed Chelsea's offer of signing Moses Casaido because they knew there are teams that are in need of defensive midfielders and can pay more than what Chelsea has offered, which is exactly what Liverpool just did.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are quite fortunate to have him since he is a very excellent player who knows how to play his role well, and he is defensively good and has nice passes; also, he has some strong abilities and physical ability that may assist a team win possession on the pitch. After losing some key players, it is an excellent acquisition for Liverpool.
I think it's a win-win deal for Liverpool with regard to the signing of Moises Caicedo in a deal reported to worth £111m honestly this is a massive deal from Brighton who would have received a total £145m from the sell of both  Moises Caicedo and McAllister while Liverpool earned £54m from the sale duo of Henderson and Fabinho to Saudi Arabian clubs, I believe summation of other transfer fees paid for to secure the services of players like James Milner, Roberto Firmino, Naby Keita and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will equate to the total fee paid by Liverpool for their new signings, Liverpool now has two formidable defensive midfielders with McAllister who can optionally play as an attacking midfielder.
734  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 10, 2023, 03:32:45 PM
Finally, the protracted deal has come to an end. I'm really happy that both clubs were able to reach an agreement, and it's left for Harry Kane to strike personal terms with Bayern Munich which I don't think would be an issue. It's going to be a big loss for Tottenham Hotspur seeing their marksman and skipper leave after many years of great service to the club. But the move is a good one for Kane for him to forge ahead his career path and have a better chance of winning trophies before he hangs his boot. Though expensive, but it a good signing for Bayern Munich and I don't think Kane would find it difficult settling down or leading the attack.
finally done, but Kane is not expensive.... he is extremely expensive. I hope it wont be like last season with Mane. Mane was with 32 million euros transfer fee not so expensive, but he had a value of 70 million euros, which currently at only 25 million, is a big loss. Kane is a other player, but he also comes also from the premier league. With so much money, it cant go wrong again. Now Bayern Munich only needs a goalkeeper.
Harry Kane at 30 is truly expensive nearly reaching the peak of his career invariablysigned with outrageous100m euros fee that means Bayern Munich will have to win UCL this season else paying such a huge amount of money to sign him will be a waste of fund if they just wanted to be winning Bundesliga trophy consistently as they had been winning, though that is a good business for Daniel Levy who would have lose him for a free transfer should he (Kane) decided to leave next season and this an opportunity for Kane to win a trophy for the first time in his career, however leaving EPL will put an end to his bid to beat Alan Shearer all time highest goal scorer which I believe is less important than winning a trophy.
735  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 10, 2023, 07:59:31 AM
Jakson is actually not bad, but he is indeed not sharp enough up front. Pochettino really has to have another alternative for a striker. and Vlahovic would be a perfect fit for Chelsea's front line.
Chelsea should not have a problem with the price. but now the competition for the Juventus striker is getting busier. Munich is also reportedly offering a player exchange to get Vlahovic. if Chelsea are not fast maybe they will struggle up front this season.

I think you shouldn't count on Vlahovic at Chelsea... Because Juventus want 40 million euros and more in the exchange negotiation between Lukaku and Vlahovic. However, Chelsea have already made it clear that they will not accept paying more than half demanded by the Italians: 20 million euros and another 5 million in bonuses.

In fact, I think that this negotiation really shouldn't happen because not even Juventus fans accept Lukaku, who is clearly a player extremely connected to his rivals, Inter Milan.

My opinion is that the Blues should continue to seek negotiations with another club in Europe or even Saudi Arabia that have already expressed an interest in paying a good price for him.
I don't think Juventus will release Vlahovic in exchange for Lukaku because majority of Juventus fans had protested and kick against the likely deal link now that Lukaku is out of favour in Chelsea because in his last stint with the club he struggled to make impact in the squad which prompted his loan deal to inter Milan and I don't see him making any impact in the squad this season too, honestly Pochettino should sign another striker in one of the premier league clubs or other European leagues to serve as a backup for Jackson and sell Lukaku as you rightly said to a Saudi Arabian club else he may ended up playing false nine in many matches or convert one of his attacking midfielders to a striker.

The second is the former Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire, and after going through a rather tough negotiation process, Manchester United finally agreed to accept the fee offer from West Ham. This will be a turning point for Harry Maguire with West Ham after he is no longer believed to be in the main Red Devils squad. West Ham have been busy cooking this summer and they are trying to aim for something new besides winning the conference league title last term.
Man Utd has found a way out in the Harry Maguire deal when selling for a much lower price than expected. Previously, West Ham only accepted 20 million pounds but was not taken by Man Utd. They were forced to pay an extra £10 million. Both sides are likely to have no problems because Harry Maguire also wants to leave to save his career. Maguire will not criticize West Ham as a team without outstanding achievements. He has failed to prove himself at Old Trafford for four years. Consecutive mistakes pushed his career to the bottom. Harry Maguire lost the captaincy to Bruno Fernandes earlier this season. He was not part of Erik ten Hag's plan.
Sadly, he used to be such an expensive centercback.

£30 million paid by West Ham to sign Maguire is a reasonable fee compared to the initial £20 million that was rejected for a player signed in 2019 with a record fee of £80 million for a defender, Maguire took the decision to join West Ham for his best interest, firstly he will enjoy a regular playing time to put his international duty on track else hevwould have been benched in Man Utd by Erik ten Hag who has five defenders in the squad such as Martinez, Varane, Lindelof, Evans and Shaw, lastly there will be ease of pressure on him while playing for West Ham compared to Man Utd where too much pressure on him always resulted to commit errors during matches, I think he will settle down well and perform better in his new club.

We live in a society where people have different views about something and these views could be drawn based on different constituent like personal sentiment, religion, ideology and experience. And speaking of gamble there are those that view it as an irresponsible activity to embark on and whoever is into it is tag as irresponsible guy, for some it beyond being irresponsible but a sin something that is evil,  while some others out of an ugly experience of a loved one that got ruined by it due to extreme addiction.
In my country gambling is always discouraged by religious leaders during their preaching though they emphasized more the implication of being addicted to gambling and how it would ruin their life, however due to low income earned by a lot of youths they shunned and disregarded sermons of those preachers who kicked against gambling because they needed extra source of income to supplement their take home pay though majority of those youths gambled mainly on soccer bettings.


These factors has made a number of gamblers to keep their gambling habit a secret doing all they could not to let friends and family  know they gamble. And it does seem like they ain't proud of what they're doing.

But why continue in what you're not proud of by keeping it secret cause maybe you're worried about what people may say, how their thoughts about your person might change. Or how you might loose ties with someone you hold dear to. And many other reasons that follows.

Those that keep their gambling habit a secret is it that they're not proud of what they are doing?.
The availability of online gambling sites had made it easier for gamblers who would have been blacklisted if they choose to bet at a physical shop or kiosk, with online casinos, betting app etc gamblers has the freedom to gamble anonymously without any interference of course as a gambler I am proud of what I am doing in as much as I earned extra income from it, my wife is aware of my soccer bettings though I gambled responsibly.

I still don't know why many people are talking much about the amount (£105m) Arsenal spent on Rice and that he won't play anything close to what he played while he was with the Hammers.
Some ex players from Manchester United are taking it personal that Arsenal over paid for the player but I believe he's better than Sancho, Mount and even Anthony. Well that's not the main issue, what I know is that Rice is going to do very well at Arsenal, rival fans are using his play against Man City on Sunday to judge how he'd play come next season but that's just the beginning before the league begins people would see the best of Rice.
If those rival fans watched Arsenal vs Man City community shield match it obvious that Arsenal had strengthened their squad with the experience of Declan Rice in their midfield matched up with their opponent in that match, in the previous seasons matches Man City usually have an easy dominance over Arsenal defeating them convincingly, however last Sunday match Arsenal were able to stand their ground and curtailed the exploit of Haaland and Alvarez who were well marked by Declan Rice, Moreso Timber another new Arsenal signing was very outstanding at the left back, he overlaps well to support Martinelli as well as defend very well.

Hey y'all...Seriously, I've been having this running through my mind.. maybe it's been discussed but this is on a diverse objective.
Why is it that we tend to have alot of men inclined and addicted to gambling than women? Is there any mystery guiding that?
I mean, You ain't gonna telme that everyone isn't roofed by this economic crises - both gender to speak of - so what's so special about men gambling?? Alot of cases has been reported several times too - and y'all end up realizing that MEN are usually involved in very many critical cases... What's that validating? That men are really taking the whole thing personal??

The number of men interested in sport is far more than the number of women consequently those men who have knowledge in some of those sports utilized that opportunity in gambling particularly soccer betting which I believe is the most popular and most sought after in gambling, Moreso some men gamble to earn money as an extra source of income to cater for their home basically a lot of women particularly housewives aren't interested in sport particularly gambling because house chores and other domestic jobs wouldn't allow them to have time to gamble, Infact in my suburb I have never come across a female gambler it is dominated by guys who share tips.
