761  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Centralization vs. Decentralization on: October 08, 2023, 01:39:01 PM
Hello fellow Bitcointalkers!

I've been mulling over this for quite some time, and I feel it's time to dive into one of the most profound topics in the crypto world: Centralization vs. Decentralization. I've noticed this duality splits the community and I wonder, is there a balance to strike?

Centralization:

Pros: Potential for faster transaction throughput, a focal point of control and regulation, easier to implement changes and updates.
Cons: Risk of a single point of failure, susceptibility to censorship, a tendency towards monopolization.

You forgot to include potential hack, threat to privacy, possible lost of funds. You didn't look into FTX before you write out the cons of centralization.
I don't understand what you mean by throughput, what is exactly is centralized maximizing in a centralized system except for database and optimizations which comes with at the expense of KYC, you can't use their service if you are not verified, is there anything special about that? I'm even trying to picture one good advantage of centralization but the thought of centralized exchanges will not make me see much benefits but demerits of using them. Centralizations always put their ambition before the people.

Quote
Decentralization:

Pros: Censorship resistance, enhanced security through distribution, inheriting the initial spirit of Bitcoin and the idea of autonomy.
Cons: Potentially reduced scalability, decision-making difficulties, possibility of fragmentation and disparities.
It's clear both come with their merits and demerits. But, do we need to acknowledge that both can coexist? Are there situations where centralization could be beneficial? Can there be a balance?

Eager to hear your thoughts! I believe it's vital to discuss these matters to guide the future of blockchain tech and cryptocurrencies in the right direction.

Let's have a fruitful discussion!

Without decentralization, centralization will die quickly but decentralization will remain functional until it last breath of the people that protects it's ecosystem, the reason why we have centralization today is because of decentralization, Dex can survive with Cex but if table were to turn around, the latter will not make it. So Dex win and I don't think decentralization are even forcing balance, no need for that unless cex's are trying hard.

We have all seen the word GambleFi trending on all sorts social medias. Being a veteran that frequents all the casinos in Vegas, I was even curious enough to play a few rounds. So kinda wanna hear from you guys and pick you guys' brain a bit see what your thoughts on the future of gambling. Will GambleFi really redefine this trillion dollar business or just all about hype.

GameFi is nothing new to crypto, they all came when altcoins were walking under the shadow of DeFi and guess what, many of them are buried under 6 feet, they were short term investment vehicle that only lasted when they were hot, if you see any of them trending, that's probably because of there is one of them that is trending or perhaps people are pumping to make money, social media is one of the ways this projects are spread but just to comfirm them, coinmarketcap and coingecko is going to do justice to clear doubt about gamefi projects.

Most of the new projects that are even focus on gamefi don't really invest in casino games and that makes me ask why the casinos we have in the Forum all see this trend but they never for once make a move about it, it's probably because they are making it in the business without any hype while they make real money without noise to convince anyone, the right people will come with good marketing.

In papers, gamefi make a lot of sense, but in real sense, they may not work like that. Maybe this is just another phase of Real estate tokenizations we had back then during the time ICO, they are all buried and people hardly discuss about it, maybe this is another phase people might soon forget.
763  Economy / Economics / Re: Agriculture vs oil on: October 07, 2023, 11:43:49 AM
We know the oil market is booming and countries with oil resources are really making a huge fund out of it and sometimes they do it at the negligence of another local natural resource.

But, of course, the agricultural sector, though not given the proper recognition and the required investment is one sector that contributes seriously to the development and dependence of most nations .

No!, that's not entirely accurate as you describe. Oil is given first class priority onlyby the countries that have this resources, they are blessed Hy nature and since oil is an catalyst that boom their economy, they don't joke with it, in addition they are in abundant which means they make more revenue from it and hence the reason why such counties don't prioritize agriculture. Use Qatar for example, they are oily rich country that grow littlenon agriculture.

Other countries on the other hand that are not oil dependents don't have choice but to concentrate on other sectors like Technology and agriculture, use China as example, they don't have oil but that has not stop their economy from been the leadership in the world, they still dominate this world with wealth despite not been not oil country and they are blessed with medicines too, other countries patronize them also and they make mad money from these  alternatives.

Quote
No matter how blessed a country is with oil minerals, if its agricultural sector isn't working and she has to rely on other country for her food and agricultural resources then in event of war or political differences they might suffer.

Agriculture vs oil, which is the big deal when it comes to the economic strength of a country?

Whether you want Agricultural or Oil, it's depend on the country that has the oil, Countries that are blessed with abundant oil reserve and gas reserve might focus on Oil production than Agricultural and countries that don't have oil will focus on Agriculture to enhance their economy.
764  Economy / Economics / Re: Women are more economical than men. on: October 07, 2023, 10:43:26 AM
We had this argument where I was the opinion that most men spend money on things that they are obligated to and cannot control it at times due to responsibilities, men are used to spending money already and because of being used to it, they can find it hard to be as economical as women can be. Do you agree with this unpopular opinion that women are more economical when it comes to money and are able to manage themselves and their homes better than men do?

You miss one thing before you started the discussions. You should have said intelligent and intellectual women and not some hungry hoe that are looking for a rich man that will remove them from poverty so they can live the expensive imaginary life they have always pray to have. Society has made women dependent, while the man go out and look for the money and with this because the pain we go through to make the money, we are better economical person than the ladies, only few of them that work spend their money wisely, they are known to live large except for the few of them.

I think economical is something that has to do with tolerance, upbringing, exposure and,descipline. If you are the type.of person that live an extravagant and flamboyant life without an atom of descipline, been economical type of person is far ahead of you, without it you will live life of discontent, nothing you will do that will work out that involves money whether you are man and woman, not about gender but individual.
765  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How long to learn trading? on: October 07, 2023, 09:55:04 AM
I spoke to a tutor who teaches trading, and he said for his lectures, he teaches for an extended period of nine months for anyone who wants to learn trading from him. Please I like to read the personal experience of some traders here, how long did it take you to learn to trade profitably, and what was the hardest thing to learn? did it take you weeks, months or years? Do you think that trading can be learnt well in a short time like three weeks for a quick trader? Can someone who is a proffesional trader just go straight to the point pointing out what is needed to make a successful trader to a newbie to learn quickly?

There is measure to how people understood learning a new thing, some trainees understand everything in all the stages, from beginning to the middle and the end, some find it hard in the early stage but towards the middle and the end, they understand better; some people might not understand anything until the toward the end and there are even some that might not get it in the training until they repeat it on their own, so I think there is a reason why your tutor said 9 months. The syllabus might also be broad too.

For trading, I don't think you will understand everything you learn from trading while learning, just as I said earlier, there are some experience that will not come when you are learning trading, they come during your personal trading journey, there are even some trading secret he has experience but wouldn't want to share it with you guys. So, just make sure you learn what is needed, from there you can learn to be own your own.
766  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The most risky adventure you must avoid on: October 07, 2023, 09:45:25 AM
Boom, the headline cut your attention right? That's perfect . There are lots of risks in business, investment and trading which is not new to anyone. They have become a common life phenomenal.
 However, the worst risk in the world which I am here to advice everyone at this moment is that it is MOST RISKY  not to take risk.
All great men of our time, have taken one risk and the other, break the barricade of fears and venture into the uncertainty as you uncover your potential.

Riski doesn't entails only investment and trading. Life is full of chances, ups and down and if you don't want to remain down, you have to take risk in anything legit to succeed. Going to school today isn't a guarantee that you are going to have a job later in the future but we risk it and invest money on it, some along the line made it to the final year and graduate while some dropped out along the line with fund wasted. Even after the graduation,few are going to have their dream jobs while some will be jobless in the line of their career, I hope you see how the risk turned out.


Quote
Well to be sincere with you, everyone who had taken risk and had come with a success story have one common line of story to tell us all that they have taken a calculated risk. Every investor, trader and the rest should learn to take a well calculated risk.

 To know more and gain more experience requires taking some risk that will help you learn. As a trader, just reading without practicing what you have learnt which involve some level of risk does you no good than having an ordinary head knowledge.
 Don't forget that risk is venturing into the uncertainty, so endeavor to keep it a calculated risk before diving into the final decision.

This is not just about trading, this is about anything connecting to human life. Let this words be taken beyond the four walls of trading to every aspect of human life and see the result thereafter. Most important message here is to take a calculated risk

There are so many obstacles in life that you have to make a step ahead if you don't want to be left behind, you can't do without risk, check out marriage for instance from statistics, how many divorcee do we have in our society, it's not working anymore for some people but does that mean you shouldn't try and find a happy home? No! You have too find a happy home and the only way to do that is by giving it a try.

Likewise trading and investment, business failed and investments turn zero but shouldn't mean you never to try, the richest people we have around today have risk all they have back then to acquire the level of wealth they had today.
767  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How to Cash without KYC? on: October 07, 2023, 09:03:38 AM

So, I have USDT. But I don't want to register for centralization exchange where I must KYC to exchange USDT into my local Fiat. What can I do? how to exchange it?

Fiat is regulated by central banks, to get your hands on it the quickest way, you should be ready for KYC but alternative as others have suggested, make use of Bisq and HodlHodl but the rate conversation will be slightly lower than other centralized exchanges that patronize more customers. But if I may, there should be a dedicated local board for you where you can do this easily, there are fiat sellers and buyers here on the forum, that's should be fine but checki their reputation or if you must, get an escrow but that also comes with a charges.

Quote
If KYC, I can exchange it on Binance or my local exchange where all have paired with USDT. But I won't it, because I don't want people to know my identity when withdraw it into my local bank.

I also seeing many people selling bank accounts on my local online shop, but of course, it's illegal, the seller might be taking it back to the account after I deposited the money.

this is very confusing me, I can exchange BTC to USDT without KYC and register using eXch exchange, but still confused to cash (USDT) into my local fiat and spending it.

These will land you in prison faster than than kyc you are trying to avoid. Don't buy a stolen bank account, even if the seller accept third party account, it's more like money laundering and the person in originally in charge of the account can report the destination of the money.

You don't have to under go long process of converting from USDT, your BTC will converted in real time to fiat and that's what the seller is going to be sending for you. Just indicate your local board or language and go to the market board and create a thread that you want to exchange BTC to a fiat, there should be a person ready to come for your service. Some may ask for charges though.
768  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which games offer the best chance of a big win? on: October 06, 2023, 11:22:25 AM
Since the total amount of winning is equal in proportion to the amount of odds accumulated and the amount used to stake the bet,  if your luck is on the high side football betting seems to give such possible rewards in most cases since it games can easily be analyzed and sometime book marker tries to play smart one by giving out obvious odds that could give any smart bettor a chance to get lucky and win big depending on the level of risk the gambler can take.

But I have seen someone who won almost 21 million in my local currency before but he used close to two hundred thousand of my country's currency to stake the bet,  so the bigger the risk the bigger the rewards and the losses also,  it all depends.

I think winning bets is dependent on location and region. Asians for instance dominance in casino games is a top notch, there is no continents that come close to them but here in Africa, football is what they play very well and that is because the only thing available. Here in Nigeria, the rate at which bettors win bet is here, I don't think casinos are really patronized like that and when they win this bookies, they win heavily.

I have seen some win as close to 48 million, if that was converted to usd, that is equivalent to $48,000, even if you are staying outside Africa, that's enough to live good life in developed countries. Bettors are winning big here but I must confess that some are losing as well. The money bettors lose yearly is more than what few winners make from betting.
769  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 06, 2023, 10:43:35 AM
Well.. I hope that she learns from her mistake. These sort of issues arise when people who are new to gambling indulge in it, without learning about the rules and possible consequences. A lot of people start like this. Some of them are scarred with the initial experience and never venture again. Some others learn from their mistakes and become more responsible for their actions. And then there is the last category, who lose their mental balance and start chasing after the losses. And we all know which group will end up in big trouble. 

Obviously, they know the risk behind gambling but greed will not let them be, they will make decisions that will hurt them and when it doesn't favour them, they manipulate people around them, greed people are insatiable with this habit. When they have money, they spend recklessly the way they want and when they notice that the money is going zero, they risk it to bet thinking the money can be double and if this don't happen, they cry victim. Almost everybody on earth knows what gambling is about and she knows exactly what she was going into, she is not a baby.

if he knows gambling hurts him why should he follow it. not many people are ruined by gambling. he knows the limits in gambling. He should be an adult at that age and can think about that. but if it's like this, wouldn't it be a good idea to take him to a psychology doctor? I'm sure that can help him.

The subject says it's a she and you are consoling her as a he.  Undecided
Don't act like you don't know that they know what gambling is/was about, even if she don't know. She could have just try it with a few dollars and see the outcome and if it's not favorable thing to play, she could have stop but from OP explanations, she lost a bet and was looking for sympathy with cry, is that how life works. Next time, she will learn better, life itself is not fair.
770  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: October 06, 2023, 10:30:42 AM
It's a tough one for Gunners and very much possible that City might be able to pull of a win here but Gunners have improved a lot and at this point they are the only one close opponent to City. Rest are not that consistent so I am really hoping for an Arsenal win here as this will change the title race exciting from the beginning. We need some change in our tactic a bit and suprise City with our performances and I hope Arteta has something special planned out for the game against City.
After the defeat in the Champions League, this was a major blow for Arsenal, the team nicknamed the Gunners had not been defeated in several weeks, the team led by Mikel Arteta did not drag on or mourn the defeat for a long time, another match was waiting, and the schedule was so busy that players need to maintain extra stamina, there are several injured players in the Champions League, this will make Arteta worry about the next match against Manchester City, Arteta has to change tactics in the match scheme later, which player is suitable for the match later, only Arteta can know the potential of each player, playing and being supported at home creates enthusiastic motivation in chasing numbers in the Premier League standings.

Worry not, Arsenal is doing fine and will do fine after this as well. I'm only waiting to see how bad Saka injury was because that's Arsenal main guy, it been a long time since the guy went for injury, he is always extra careful, I don't know why this went bad, or perhaps over excitement of the Champions League but if worst happen, Jesus is going to take his place and then Nketia will be fit for center forward, we can manage like that until he is back from the injury, he will surely play the rest of the season.

It's when Arsenal is going to have important match they are having minor challenges but nothing to worry about. Manchester United worst they can do is equalize and they are going to have 1 point each because Saka might be out, they also have Kelvin and Rodri out for now and the last EPL round they had with wolves, they lose to them but Chelsea are going to lose to Arsenal, there is no any other ways around it, they are going to lose and we will rebound our spot in the standing. Not giving up until that 1st place is occupied.
771  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: October 06, 2023, 09:58:40 AM
The fact is now that the player they brought in has not shown anything good, and even defeats come from mistakes he made. Onana may have done well at his previous club, but he hasn't managed to show that with Manchester United. I wonder if they now regret dumping David De Gea? Because the player who replaced him is now making a lot of mistakes.
The defense is a crucial point because if they make mistakes then the ball will go into their net, and that's what's happening right now. I think they should take Onana off for a few games and give their current backup goalkeeper a chance.

I'll say this a billion times, if it's not the blunder from Onana against Bayern Munich ( The exact poor shot taken by Sane Leroy ) then, whoever blames and lash out on Onana knows nothing about football period.
The red card leading to Casemiro being sent off was Onana's error, as it was a short pass from him to Casemiro. The two other goals in that game against Galatasaray has got to be from the defense and part of the midfielder's.

You know ball, Onana is helpless when the defenders are playing like zombies, Onana will do better when the defenders have done all their best but helpless, that's where Onana comes but everyone is quick to point fingers for all the errors in their match, if Ten Hag should concrete that holes in the center back, they will play well because that is the only place they need to repair, they should give Onana some break.

Professionalism is important, if it was some Midfielders, they will control that ball Casemiro had a hand ball easily but sometimes things are difficult than we see with ordinary eyes, I don't still blame Onana for that red card, he did what was quick in his head to push the ball from his place.
Quote
Amrabat lose his guard for adding too much pressure on a player beating him with body feint. That same player was not well locked down only for him to create that chance leading to that equalizer making it 2-2.
Varane and Lindelof so poor that they couldn't read and calculate the game clearly.

The first was from Dalot, too soft on Wilfred Zaha, forgetting how strong he is and that he's a black man. Onana has done errors but those errors can only be seen by those who analyze and watch football without bias.

Let's say the defenders were all loose and not competent in their job. What about Erik job. He knew how tense the match turned, at 77 minutes when Casemiro bag red card. He should have immediately put in Antony instantly even when he should have been there since the beginning but he had to wait 85 minute to sub Mount for Antony. Why will you have to wait for pressure to decide. Wasted good 9 minutes for nothing.
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: October 06, 2023, 09:17:35 AM
I think don't lie to them.
When they ask what it is, just give them an idea of ​​how harmful it is, especially to children.
Just tell the truth so they will understand when they grow up.

Because for me if you lie to them and they find out the truth they might learn it the wrong way and try it.
In today's time we can't avoid children knowing this, because there are many influencers out there promoting it even though they know many children are watching it. It's widespread now in our country that influencers promote any adds about gambling

Whether it's the truth or the wrong info, kids will want to try out when your are not around the house, it's better you ignore them and change the topic of discussion, kids are getting smatter day by day.

As far as today and civilization is concern, lying to your kids will do them more harm than good but I will pretend that I don't know about anything that has to do with sensitive content, will teach them about that when I think it's right. When your run from truth, that's the when they turn inquisitive of that and want to try that especially when gambling has advertisement of trying out service that are been air on those channels and I don't want to wake up and see my niece doing what I do at my adult age, no kids of mine yet.  Cool

Personally, when I have or if I'm in such situations of gambling ads, I will change the channels for the sake of my kids doing what I may not know about, satellite TV stations have restricted way of muting some channels and password them. If I know that the kids will go to that level of watching that channels behind my back, I will lock it, we will not watch that again but I may but only if they are asleep or not around the house.

Onana is good. But I see his arrogance when he moves to play for Manchester United. He was too subjective. Onana should know he is on a big team and must face many strong opponents. Subjectivity will lead to erroneous results.

De Gea is a goalkeeper who has played for Manchester United for 12 consecutive years. He played very well and was voted the best goalkeeper of the year. In the past 1 or 2 years, De Gea has not played as well as before. Erik ten Hag blamed him for his mistakes and boldly decided to get rid of him and bring back Onana. De Gea's mentality is more mature, and his playing quality is on par with Onana.
I think Manchester United is in disarray, causing the players to not perform well compared to their abilities.

There's no good players in the defensive lines of manchester united. All of defenders and its goal keeper played so garbage continuously. Im very happy caused by ten hag was always repeating the same mistake over and over. Does ten hag really know which was the main problem of manchester united? Or he doesn't even care about that? Ten hag was just showing the method about how to go to the europa league as soon as possible.
A great performance from manchester united. Having amrabat gives no impact to the club as the defensive line is still the pathetic lines owned by manchester united at this moment. I would like to call that chelsea's defensive line is far better than manchester united. LMAO.

The rate at which Ten Hag name is screamed on this board, you guys will give him heartache, give him some breathing space Grin I think the problem is from more of the center back than the manager, he can't do more than to train them. Maguire use to be favorite defender of Manchester United is not himself, the available guys are not too good. If Erik has spend money on that back, there spot would by now have some improvement but he instead invested in forward that can't make chance nor score goals in time, Onana cannot help in all situations, you can't fault him all the time.

Quote
Ten hag was clueless and he didn't even know what he was doing. Im always questioning my self about till when ten hag will not even be aware if the main problem was on its defenders?
Onana shall be blamed but all of mistakes must be coming from the defenders of manchester united caused by they played the game so poorly. I dunno what they are thinking about once they were in the game.

Wow! That's too much, you sound like a true fan. I get, it's painful to see how Manchester United become a headline of bad performance each week but you never can tell how they can bounce back. They never did well from the start of the season and yet finished first and almost finished second place if not for losing some games along the line. There could be investment of some players if it's get worse by next transfer time.
774  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Lady Cried After Losing to Sports Bet. Gambling is Not Your Mate. on: October 05, 2023, 03:30:42 PM
A lady cried seriously after losing her money in sports bet gambling. Navigate to the image for more info 👉👉👉


Gambling is not for the weak minded ones but for those who can withstand with the bad motion/feeling when it occurs. Any gambler that thinking to win always is not well prepared for the gambling space. As a Gambler, you have to prepare your mind that the game you are playing might favour you or against you and if the game against you, then you have to wear a thick skin to over come the lose. Gambling is not for butter and bread but for the better and the worst. So any of the above come to your way as a gambler, you take. No man/woman should cry for gambling though it is painful but you don't have to cry. The casino company never cry when you win. She would have known that gambling is not her loss is another person win and her win is another person loss. Casinos want you to loss and you want casinos to loss and that is how gambling game is. Many people don't understand gambling and all what they want is to play and win. And I believed that she didn't read the Ts of the casino and probably she was excited for the game and placed her bet and loss.
This is the first time I am seeing a lady playing gamble in the public domain. Though I have been hearing but not seen. Well she should take heart, the matter how she cried the money will not come back again. What do you say about the Lady? Did she do well in the public? As I said, gambling is not your mate, take precautions.


I have seen a similar video but this one was a man that play virtual bet, it's one of the riskiest and volatile way of winning and so losing, when I say volatile, you can lose huge amount of money in the space of 5 minutes and can lose everything, including your home in 5 seconds and I don't know why gamblers enjoy playing this particular type of bet, maybe that's addiction we discussed here every day and ways people gamble irresponsibly.

Man came with ₦52,000($50) and stake everything, he lose everything within 10 minutes, he was angry and looked for solutions to get back his money but none was available and then he decided to go violent, told the agent to pay him back his money, how is that possible? Who will pay for the money you willingly bet on? Maybe he was not informed how risky the kind of bet he wanted to play.

This lady is not different from the man I saw a video online, she is looking for sympathy just maybe online non government organizations will come to her aid for her own decision, if she has won that bet, people will not hear anything from her but not that the bet went hay, she is crying for sympathy.  Cry
775  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: October 05, 2023, 03:19:51 PM
I agree to that as I also have that personal experienced way back, just enjoying playing dice and manage to double my initial bankroll, instead of calling for the day and quit with a decent amount of winnings I decided to push and try to win for more, thinking that luck is still on me and it will continue to keep that winning to roll for me, but when the losing streak starts to show up, aggressions change as well, trying to recover and making all those amounts from the initial bankroll, ending the session with empty money.

It's a wrong decision that leads you to lose instead of enjoying the opportunity to win, if you have that balance inside you, you'll be able to enjoy what you have and not the one that you still need to aim.

There's this joy that comes with winning streak, you will even think it's some kind of trick you are using but it's just your lucky day and your turn to get money from these casinos but the very day they want to take back all you have been winning, your mood will be unmatched, the trauma that comes with it in that moment will give you back day but it's easier to forget if you know what you are doing because you can't win everytime and you can't win because you won the last bankroll.

There are even days in the life of sport bookies, many people will win games as if it's all program for it to happen, that week of winning streaks, the bookies don't have choice but to stop withdrawals because of the many pending winnings. Casino have this standard before they proceed withdrawals, they will have to review your winnings right before they pay your winning to external wallet, that's what they but on winning days, they become freeze but will be happy when customers are winning.

Mistakes are normal in gambling to me, this is because you can't control what happened after but even if you have the best skills to win, trying to control before is even harder when you are not in good mood. This is why you should learn to control your mind, gambling will mess with your head just so you lose everytime.

Both Manchester United and City need wingers, and Mitoma will be fit in both clubs, just that the player will be the one to decide which club he will prefer to join in the January transfer window, that is, if Brighton will be willing to let him leave in the transfer window.
Rather than looking for a new winger, it's better for Manchester United to sign a new goalkeeper and few defenders. Their midfielder and striker already strong enough, so they just wasting their money to sign a new winger.

A player will join a big and tough team, Manchester United only a big team, so Mitoma should be in Manchester City.

It's so hard to understand what happened to players in some season. He was very cherish in Seria A last season before his departure for Manchester United. In all of the 38 weeks, he conceded 42 goals and David De Gea conceded 43, Inter came third in Seria A and Manchester United came third as well, you see that despise the chantings, De Gea is not too better than him but considering his age, Onana is in better place to perform better for Manchester United.

The worry here is that he has conceded more goals in just 7 weeks, if he is able to concede that amount now with this performance, he has more 31 goals before the season to concede and that will not lead Manchester United to any where. However, since he is considering for not going back for Africa cup of nation, he is going to focus on Manchester United to liberate them from this weekly humiliations.

There is something more important to this win and that is the margin by which they won. If they end up being equal in points with PSG and they share rank 2 and 3, the direct comparison will decide which team will advance to the next stage in the Champions League and which team will be relegated into the Europa League. Winning 4-1 can be so important because PSG would have to beat Newcastle at least 3-0 to then have the goal difference decide about the order in the table. I think that's one reason why this defeat is really bad for PSG. It raises the pressure even more for the next games.

When your mind and soul is within the game, you will win, not extra work need to be done to achieve that and Newcastle were able to prove that to us. How they confidently played without giving a chance to Mbape need to be study because not a shot on target was allowed by Newcastle center back and I wonder how they will come out of this in their next match against Milan. Even the last time Milan and Newcastle had a friendly match, Milan won by 1 goal to nothing but Mbape wasn't present but what is he going to do with the way he performed yesterday, it's too far from getting that Champions League in PSG, not achievable.

If PSG were to knock off from this group stage, it doesn't mean Europa is secure for them, there is going to be another play off between added spot because there is going to be a limited spot for the qualified participants that made it out for only players that made it out in the third place. PSG is even better compared to other teams in the group for instance look at Dortmund, they are performing better currently sitting in the top four, but I don’t understand why they are slacking in the champions league, their performance was even better last season, as compared to now.

Group F in the champions league is one of the hottest group that is difficult to even discuss about, what result that comes out, I will take it that all the teams in the group have tried all the best because having PSG, Newcastle, Milan, and Dortmund; betting this top four teams is like wasting money because all of them are all good and you don’t know the ones that will end up disappointing you, so I think it’s fair in any of the result that we see.

We all know how people used to be protective when trying to explain how someone treated them badly, they always want to be the winner and if you are not smart you can fight the wrong war for them, later you will find out that they are the problem.

Gamblers are telling stories about how they got banned because they are winning too much, I will like to tell you not to believe everything people tell you, these stories typically have another side of the story, there is a high probability that these gamblers have broken some rules along the way.

For reputable casinos, banning players that have won a lot of money legally is bad for their business, the casinos knows that the word of the mouth spreads faster than anything, so I believe that a reputable casino do their strong research before they use their ban hammer.

Before you take sides with gamblers claiming they get banned for winning too much, remember that casinos are good at monitoring and preventing fraudulent behaviors, you break some rules you are out, and no cheater want to admit that they cheat.

It doesn't even make sense when gambler and the underlying platform fight for difference but of course, if there is money involved, evidence must be provided. However, don't understand why the forum casinos don't like to show evidence or proof of what happened, at least it will help the judges(DT in the Forum) to make decisions, if it was the user that is guilty or the casino but they don't provide anything and for that, to remain neutral, I better give my small opinion but wouldn't meddle with what I don't have power over.

As a top tier casino that has used forum ads, they should know better that when in Rome, you have to act like you're in Rome. They should always provide evidence when it's needed and to avoid stories that touch, I don't like some of the casinos we have in this forum, I used the few I trust and hasn't been called out and even when they are called out, they are just minor issues which understanding term are reach to keep reputation for their customers.

For much long now I have never place bet with a higher amount but there was a bet i placed few days ago and i was tempted to increase my wager from what it should be before, Let say i often gamble with at least 200 Naira and maximum is 2,000 for a multiple bets But recently something came into me to start increasing my wager above my limits due to a game that was predicts to me it gives me all possibilities that I could cash out big time. This now made me to come here to asked how do you control your greed with your bet amount, do you go ahead placing the bet as your minds speaks or do only maintain to your limits whether it plays or not doesn't matter.

Again why do you regret after putting smaller amounts and it happens the games went as planned and starts blaming yourself for not increasing your bet amount, maybe by now you could have cashed out big time. How do you control this thought over your ends do you keep to your regulations of always placing bets with some limits or you place bet according to your mind and regrets after losing that amount for not following your limits?

Lets discuss wisely and if something related to this post please point it out.. Maybe would devote time to study what has been written over there.

Well, what you mean by huge amount is subjective, amount that is so big to you might look lovely little to some people, because even that your amounts, if converted to dollar, that's equivalent to $20, it will not do much in some people eyes though, if you wager that amount correctly, you will make good outcome but how lucky will you get when you wager that amount, you might not get much.

Gambling has greed, it takes courage not to fall for it, and the first thing you make sure to do is never deposit more than what you want to bet, your threshold should be concise for that particular game, so that when you lost a bets, it will be easy to conserve the remaining change for the next day but when by the time you want to make back the money, you will lose all in the process. In addition, make sure you don't over gambling trying to chase the bag, you will only end up chasing empty bag. Cry
