I would love to say you finish what you've started but it's of no use and I don't think the person will change just yet when he thinks he knows the strategy, I believe the person is not a kid so he also know the consequences attach to gambling, even if he has never played bet before he knows the system, sometimes he wants to play but he just what someone to lead him, some people will never involve in gambling even if they have heard it from their friends they still don't give a damn while some would love to gamble and any little speech talking about gamble they will just get involved
You trying to help your friend sounds good but he will not take your advice so he should learn for himself maybe when he experience how gambling works he might change under probability, depend on the kind of person if he's willing to change or not, lessons will be learnt.

Arsenal's goalkeeper and defense might be the reason why Arsenal will lose the Premier League trophy to Manchester City or Liverpool because Luton Town had only 4 shots on goal, and they were able to score three goals against Arsenal last night.
Goalkeeper might be the problem behind Gunners conceding tremendous goals that ought to be questionable by the coach and the supporters, it's weigh not a representable goals to be angry about, clear out that the goalkeeper would have stretch and made some brilliant saves but unfortunately he could not and they have to deal with all these drama from average club. Arsenal did their best to win the game, when everyone thought of the scored to end final 3-3 draw but out of nowhere, we watch the crucial header from Declan Rice to give his team the lead injury time. Afterall the overhyped midfielder does the incredible stuff by delivering his club when everyone have lost faith.
I don't know if you've been watching Arsenal match cause if you're always watching Arsenal match you will not speak like this, everyone saw what Raya did yesterday and it was very poor but that doesn't mean you will judge Raya just because of what he did, if I must say Raya is better than Ramasdel so I don't see any point dragging Raya.
The issue with Arsenal yesterday was they faced a tough team, Luton really pressured Arsenal and I never expected that I know why everyone is talking about the defence and Raya, we expected more from Arsenal that's just the truth.

Involving in activities that will bring value and profit, ask someone how was your day they will reply with hectic day at work but yet with zero value and productivity.
The fact is some people don't know how to manage their time and they find themself doing everything at thesame time confused and no good result.
Sometimes even with all this people still find it difficult to be productive so let's say success lies in the mind cause some people will always put the effort to be productive and yet nothing to show, maybe they don't listen to instruction they feel what they're doing is the best, but someone with a productive mindest cannot make it without work, so both are very necessary, even in our daily life we all want to be productive but without work how can we accomplish it.
824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can loneliness make one addicted to gambling on: December 06, 2023, 01:37:45 PM
I'd say so, yes. Loneliness makes you look for dopamine, you do things which keeps your occupied so you don't think about being lonely, and gambling keeps you occupied. The more money you gamble, more that feeling of rush.

If one's brain needs less of stimulation, he can be fine without going to extremes such as gambling or it's addiction but if not, they can reach to the point when these start to become coping mechanisms.

 
someone who takes action to gamble when lonely in my opinion is not wrong, only in fear that they become addicted which is difficult to stop later. I think that no matter how busy they are with the things they do they will definitely feel lonely too, and maybe they need a break from that busyness. But if they are always lonely, this is what should be avoided, because they have to find something busy to not feel lonely often, which could be when they are lonely they always gamble, it would be nice if they could find friends to chat with to get rid of their loneliness.

Also in my opinion there are still many things that can be done to get rid of loneliness. Like me, when I am lonely I do the things I like, watch movies, play games, exercise, or go out on a motorcycle. It's just that the habits of people who like are different, so they should be able to do things they like when they are lonely so they don't take action on gambling which has a negative impact.
I will not agree with people saying loneliness can lead to gambling addiction, gambling is just a choice you make and the urge to win more can turn a gambler to an addict.
On a serious note I find nothing interesting in gambling absolutely nothing, people just involve them self in the act just because of the money involved.
Loneliness is the state of being alone and at that state you definitely need someone around to talk to or play some fun games
Various ways one can fight against loneliness rather than involving in gambling that plays with emotions, if possible sign in for gym class, dancing class, basketball games, visiting the cinema etc.
825  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you trust the co-vid19 vaccine ? on: December 06, 2023, 12:55:45 PM
Beyond the mistrust people nowadays can have against vaccination, I would not mind if people chose not to get vaccined, but then I take a look at how previously eradicated illnesses like Polio seems to start to reappear in the United States because people have chosen not to get vaccined against it, just by providing an example.

Also, I do not understand much of the logic from not getting vaccinated if most of us were already vaccinated when we were kids or babies. In the case of my country, babies are vaccinated as soon as they can against yellow fever. I am sure it is the same there in The Unidated States and Europe.

Ironically, vaccines could have already saved the life of thousands of anti-vaccine people, just because they were immunized when they were toddlers, thanks to the love and care of their parents.
Talking about trust, I have never trusted the covid 19 vaccine one bit and most people in my locality also didn't trust the vaccine.
We should be careful with the kind of vaccine we take sometimes they can cause some changes in our body system, looking at the type of disease Covid 19 and it takes a lot to fight against covid 19.
Covid is not the same as polio or other Common illness, in comparison polio has been for years and alot of people has tested this vaccine some making review etc but Covid 19 has not even lasted for long and it's very rare seeing someone making a review about the vaccine, in my opinion there's something behind the illness and the vaccine.
826  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Restart, is it a good thing for humanity? on: December 06, 2023, 12:15:55 PM
Do you think a restart without the internet and military sounds good, it sounds strange cause a generation without the use of internet will be grouped into the analog generation, 65.7% of people make use of the internet for research, work etc so the world can't just do without the internet and modern use of technology
If the world is ready for a restart we should be aware that oppositions will always come, war, fight, hate speech etc,
A restart doesn't guarantee the end of conflict.
The best is the world should learn to live in peace first I think if the world can be united and live in peace where there's no war then there's no need for a restart.
Humans can never be a slave to new inventions rather new inventions keep shaping the growth of our society and promoting the digital era.
827  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ? on: December 06, 2023, 11:27:56 AM
In my opinion, there's no age limit when it comes to gambling when the time comes that person will know what to do either quit or continue that's their choice.
Using an old man to set example sounds funny, not all old people are ready to quit yet maybe they still believe they will cashout huge or at they youthful age they decided to choose gambling as a career.
In my opinion you don't have to be an old man before you quit gambling like if you're not profiting from playing bet it's best to quit or retire before you turn to an addict. Have you not seen old men with good health gambling even if with loss he still feels comfortable but some young people they will always feel frustrated and depressed, in my opinion gambling doesn't require a particular age to quit but it depends on your health.
828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 06, 2023, 11:00:37 AM

There is no easy match, even Arsenal themselves had to fight tooth and nail to beat Luton Town. Arsenal almost lost maximum points if the referee blew the whistle exactly in the sixth minute of injury time, but that didn't happen because Arsenal took advantage of the last seconds to build an attack and they managed to score a goal in just over a minute of injury time.

Not only Arsenal, all other teams are also struggling to win the match because each team needs points. Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Manchester United are the same, so there is no exception to that. That is why every manager must be careful in rotating his players in each match, clearly this will affect the team's performance and game.

Arsenal, like last season, is again at the top of the table and continues to increase its advantage, Arteta is consistent and this deserves respect, if they manage to correctly calculate their strength this season, I hope they will be able to compete until the very end.

City will play a tough match against Aston Villa at Villa Park today and their record at home has been impressive, having won every home game in the Premier League this season. Of course, this does not mean that they will definitely beat City today, but it definitely means that it will be a very difficult match for City today and perhaps they can lose points again today.
Arsenal vs Luton town yesterday was an interesting match and Luton town gave Arsenal a tough time tho, like Luton defence was just too crazy even if Declean Rice managed to save the Gunners they can also testify it was a tough one for them, Luton town really brought out their best yesterday in aspect of attack, defence.
Arsenal has brought out their best once again and it seems they're not playing, I would love to brag that Arsenal will compete to the final but let's watch and see cause they did the same thing last season and they could not get to the finials

City previous match was not that bad but they need to improve imagine Liverpool in second position and city third I think they're not happy so they might come with full force today either home or villa park they don't care, from my predictions the match might end draw or city will win.
829  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: A piece of advise concerning various links flying around on: December 06, 2023, 10:14:32 AM
This thing wey you talk na Just proper reminder say scammers dey everyone now and people wey get hope say free money dey make them just change their thought. The issue with unnecessary link this season na because of the free money wey Tinubu send and if any free money come again na so link go still dey fly everywhere.
I believe say people no suppose fall mugu for link matter this season because any person wey really work hard for this hard time no suppose play with money the person suppose get sense say free money no dey anywhere even if free money dey do you think the link will get to you.
Concerning the Facebook and whatsapp hack na that one be the main issue now, I no know if for your area na the same thing dey happen but my area I don too hear whatsapp hack and the hacker will use your number to beg your friends for money, in most cases people don send money go unknownly to them so we should be careful because na our friends go suffer am no be us.
830  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The enemy of success on: December 05, 2023, 06:05:41 PM
Let's not mistake procrastination for laziness they have different meaning so procrastinating doesn't mean the person is lazy, I think you should add laziness cause laziness is the common enemy, when a man is lazy I think that's the end but when it comes to procrastinating sometimes the person might end up doing it, no normal human being will keep procrastinating there might be something wrong maybe the person is scared or something else

For example, everyone making example using bitcoin invest or business, what if that person is scared to invest in bitcoin due to what the person heard about careless investors and instead of the person to come out open the person keep postponing, what am trying to say is everyone have reasons for their actions
831  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Wetin look genuine no genuine for nija on: December 05, 2023, 05:29:37 PM
Anything wey concern man know man no go even come public takless of scam, they will prefer it hidden. At first when o saw this news I was like the money is too small and I suspected the people that distributed maybe they stole some of the money, scam no even come my mind because if you no give person your personal details how the person wan take scam you, form dey wey you go register so if you no register the money no suppose reach your side.

Even if other online things na scam for this country this 25k own na genuine. But the truth here is now that the news is popular no allow person deceive you because of 25k then you fill your details to scammers after that day nobody receive any money again.
832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: December 05, 2023, 12:40:58 PM
Haven't found much benefits of gambling in my society at all. This is kind of entertainment. Otherwise If people lost more money in casinos and gambling websites, authorities can generate more revenue and thus they could provide huge taxes to their government and make contribution to development hospital, school, Charity and etc in their country? but at the end, impact will be seen in people's daily life after losing in gambling. Those people may start suffering due to lack of money or could involving illegal activities to manage gambling fund for next day. And thus the procedure will be continued? Actually gambling is an entertainment, it is fine if it can be under control and until your society people get addicted. And i like the idea how government allow casinos for others people but not want from their citizens to get involved
I think the same way about gambling, it isn't really beneficial for society because even if it's a way of entertainment for some people, the majority takes gambling as a way of earning money and when people think of gambling that way, they tend to spend a lot of money on it with the hope of making more money with it and eventually losing it all because gambling isn't to provide every gambler with profits and make them rich but it's business for casino owners.

So, the point is, that gambling isn't important for society but it's important for governments for sure because casinos that operate within a country tend to pay a lot of taxes to the government, and tax authorities also charge taxes from people who manage to win significant amounts from gambling.
This is also what I've been thinking, It's not that important in the society but only in the government because they are the one who benefited in gambling activities because of taxes. why would I say that this is not that important in our society? because many people used to gamble and they treat it as their permanent sources of income which is not recommended because I can't see it as stable because we all know that gambling is all about luck with a mixed of some strategies,  also people can have mental health issue such as obsession and addiction.
The government are the ones benefiting from it not the society, have never heard any story like this where my country governor used casino tax money to build charity homes and hospital so seeing it here sounds strange, other countries might be doing it but never heard such.
Let's not mention what the addiction of gambling has done in this modern world and they have refused to learn and change,  they believe it's for their own benefit, so seeing topic like this will encourage gamble addicts to gamble more.
833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 05, 2023, 12:15:33 PM
Chelsea players are showing some seriousness in some matches but they are not consistent in their winning which is the major challenge many people are experiencing from Chelsea in this season.
Inconsistency is the major thing Chelsea and Manchester United have in common this season I honestly don't know why is actually like that because the last time was when Chelsea started making some improvement when they meet Tottenham Hotspur and win them after then they started peaking form and when they meet Manchester City we taught Manchester City could easily win them but do to how Chelsea has improve on performance they were able to draw, so after then everybody started seeing Chelsea to have peak form and however they started losing matches, so just like you said inconsistency is there major problem this season, although one of the things that kept me wonder is that Chelsea has a very quality bright players but they always find it difficult to perform well, I don't know if I will say there problem is from there players or the coach.
In terms of player quality, Man Utd actually has better quality players. Because Chelsea is only full of young players. But Chelsea's inconsistency has been going on since last season. And last season the two top level teams that were inconsistent at the same time were Chelsea and Liverpool. But Liverpool has improved since the middle of the season. Well, this season Chelsea is still inconsistent. But accompanying Chelsea on the list of inconsistent clubs this season is Man Utd. I think Man Utd could also improve from the middle of the season. But I don't know about Chelsea. But I hope Chelsea can improve as soon as possible. Because of course Todd Boehly has invested a lot in this club. But things still don't seem to be as he expected.
In terms of players I will agree with you Manchester united players are better compared to Chelsea players I will also say they are still yet to experience and learn more, let's not hope anything from both teams this season they should go and work more on themselves, even if Chelsea win or Manchester united win that doesn't guarantee a come back this season cause when facing a strong team they will be powerless, the problem with Manchester united right now is Ten Hang and Onana, after watching Manchester united vs Newcastle, the team lacks structure what's Ten Hang doing? Then after every match Onana will be the talk of the match.
I don't really know for Chelsea cause the problem there is very big lol, After using money to buy new players there's nothing to show, I call them frauds,  but maybe Pochettino might be the problem who knows, I just hope for change in both teams.
834  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Every entering price remains profitable... Buy Bitcoin on: December 05, 2023, 11:50:57 AM
Bitcoin current price is more than 2x of its price in January in comparison to the final month of the year, I remember when some bloggers and social media stars where all spreading FUD saying may like fall to $10,000 or less while others believe it was the end of Bitcoin, but Thank God though for bitcoin did shame them will continue to do so and actually I was caught up with the FUD at that time because I was not an active member of this forum but now I Thank God that I can proudly say bitcoin FUD can never affect me    Grin

Unto say bitcoin price no de predictable, because im de volatile, so you fit no too blame people we get fear to buy. E good to get small small fear for money matter because e no easy to get am, if person make mistake for wrong investment, to regain di money back no de de easy.
You're right, and people go dey regret now but the people wey don invest go benefit, it's best not to force anyone to invest now cause if the person get high expectations and that profit no come out the person go blame you, it's best for them to decide just like wetin you talk bitcoin price dey unpredictable so them dey fear to invest or some people don see shege for their invest so them decide to back off

While some people know the benefit of bitcoin but them dey reluctant to invest, maybe after making research they just don't like bitcoin so any how people dey cash out they still feel the same.

The price of LUNC has rallied by 44% in the past 24 hours and this got users wondering why?

The rally comes after crypto exchange Binance announced that it would launch USTC futures contracts, offering 50x leverage.

The futures contract was scheduled to launch at 12:30 UTC today.
LUNC which is formerly known as TERRA LUNA will not win the people's trust anymore because a lot of billions were lost in that shitcoin. But few people might still like to risk their money in it. and I don't think all those people who lost their money in the past will come and invest again. Though I have not been in the cryptocurrency world at that time, but when I came here in the forum I saw the story and it was heart shocking. Well i cant say anything for now, and wait and see.

The way new coins are coming to the ecosystem is getting worried because most of them are not coming to the industry for the good of the people but to scam them and run away. If really they have good intention then they would have invested the money used in building the coins to in bitcoin to have interest. Many of them have fallen while some are still struggling in the ecospace. most of them will end up as a platform to money laundering.

Here's an article about it — https://cryptopia.in/eloncoin/


This is a good news for the users of Eloncoin and more good news will come and when listed more in the centralized one then the coin will develop well as other senior colleagues as said. And I also want to know if one can use Eloncoin for p2p in the listed exchanges or it used only in the site for staking? And if is only for staking now then the fasten approach to develop the coin will be very slow. But whereby the p2p is enable and effective then the development will be faster than as it is.

What do you think about USTC that was Terra Luna stable coin which fell from 1.00$ to 0.01$ cent
I bought some of them atm its 0.06$  as it had a jump  does it have a chance to reach 1$ again and be a stable coin
What are your thoughts on this ?
I have not been to this board and this is the first time I am here so I a kind a stranger here. But what I can say is that there are many altcoins in the cryptocurrency market and with different names. Some them are meme coins, shitcoins and others and all are classify as altcoins and all these altcoins, it is not all that will survive, some will go up and come down again while some will not survive because the management or the developers are not ready to work again or they have gotten what they needed. Therefore the only ones which will survive in the space are the ones that the developers are active.
And because of what happened to Terra Luna, and anything that is related to it will not go far again so for USTC to hit $1 is not possible at any time soon.

I wanted to withdraw Litecoin from one exchange and the only network available is bep20...
theres no other options...is this the right network to use? I think in the past the network was called litecoin network?

btw is LTC still the best option to use for withdrawals?

If there is no litcoin network available then there is no way you can withdraw the funds because you cannot use another network to withdraw it. And another option you can also use is to sell it directly to a vendor which should p2p so that the stress of looking for a way to withdraw the coin will be reduced. And from your statement, "You wanted to withdraw the coin" but the particular network was not available and that means you have the coin s inside the exchange platform. Then there is possibility to use p2p.
840  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 04, 2023, 08:16:09 PM
It is clear that if United fails to qualify for the round of 16 or the Europa League play offs, Ten Hag time at United is over, simply put, management will have to fire him. The match against Chelsea was quite strange for me, considering the ups and downs in performance of both clubs this season.

Both Pochettino and Ten Hag are under enormous pressure at the moment, and neither is immune from criticism from fans. It's understandable, considering the money they spend on players but we don't see much progress. I don't think United and Chelsea will reach the top four, but regardless, we'll see how they play at Old Trafford.

Personally, I can't predict who will win this time. Playing at home doesn't guarantee a win for United, and Chelsea inconsistency frustrates me. They held City to a draw but then lost to Newcastle. Overall it is very difficult to understand these two elite clubs.
Have said this before am not sure both teams have a coach are they sleeping or what, most especially Chelsea they wasted their money buying frauds, what both teams are facing now I will blame their coach Ten Hang and Mauricio Pochettino and in situations like this we should blame the coach, I can still remember when Arsenal faced the similar issue every week Arsenal will always play something else and everyone blamed Wengar, same problem with Arteta at first and I was like what's going on but till today I can't tell how  Arteta build himself and the team, Ten Hang and Pochettino should work on themselves first before the team can progress, I find no fault in the players.
Manchester united vs Chelsea match will be so funny it's a must watch match but I can't predict the winning.
