821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown on: January 18, 2024, 09:25:41 PM
This looks like an afterthought by the casino to capture the photograph which they will use to prove that they actually had winners from their casino and that were paid and whether this is real or not will not be my concern. However, why would they take a picture of a cheque that did not capture the amount on it and the face of the person. The cheque picture is blonde and gives room for doubt on it. Lottery companies or those in gaming industry know better not to use a blurred picture to showcase their customer's winning because they know their friends and people from him would want to also bet, so it is a chain.
822  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: January 18, 2024, 07:40:32 PM

So, do you agree that radical changes are needed?

A radical change needs to be made no doubt and it has to be in the area of inflation control. Government should reduce lending and printing of money because it all creates room for more money in circulation. Some one has argued that it is easier to make money now and be rich unlike in the past where you have to work hard and harder yet no much financial benefit acrue to it but you were able to get the value of the money you had then unlike now where you have money being devalued by inflation.

So a swift solution should be in trying to reduce inflation like I said earlier, making loan available, bonds and treasurer bills, printing of money should all be reduced to the economy will gain some value. If you have less inflation then you have money whose purchasing power is very high and you can purchase alot with little money and you can save and reinvest.

The three countries mentioned are just the bad guys of the world so you don't have to look far or mistake it. US is not looking to play the bad guy role in the future but are already playing that in collaboration with NATO countries and Russia playing alongside with China on the BRICS. The real bad guy will come up from the three between NATO and BRICS and I'm not surprised with the continued war of Russia and Ukraine, also Israel with Palestine, it is the bad guys hodling those wars from behind.

4 just watching the market like me

Hmmmm really? You don't need to stay by the side and look at what is happening because the 2016/17 altcoins bull run might happen again where altcoins adopters had a happy hodling moment on the bull run, cashing out hugely.

The altcoins bull run didn't happen in the last halving and investors have been getting prepared for this year's bull run and it is looking good for this season. So, don't stand by the side and look, buy some valuable coins and wait for your turn to cash out big soon with the bull run.
826  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: Most Profitable Businesses in Nigeria as Side Hustle in 2024 on: January 18, 2024, 02:43:48 PM
In Nigeria there are businesses that people do and at the end they crash out from it after struggling with so many things. To operate a physical business in Nigeria is very difficult because of certain exigencies that makes the business difficult like if you are running any business that you have to run with electricity, it is surely capital consuming and if you don't have enough capital to run on petrol or diesel is not easy. Therefore, any business running away from electricity is profitable in Nigeria because there is market for it like block industry, internet business and food stuff especially cooked food.

You already acknowledged two things that one, you know people benefit from war from whichever means possible and that you don't sell oil. That means these are factors that lead countries into war for gains. Therefore, how do you stop those wars where you can't influence the beneficiaries of the wars to stop. An average joe is also like a country without influence, so can you talk to US government to influence their aligns to stop the war for the sake of humanity.
828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling can be a hope restorer if we go about it wisely! on: January 18, 2024, 06:53:52 AM

This is just one example of an individual using his money wisely but we have many others that aren't using their money wisely. Gambling can restore hopes for individual that have lost hope and don't know where their next meal will come from but gambling can also end the hopes of a gambler as he losses everything he has to gambling due to not having a disciplined mindset and not being careful with money.

Having to gamble with your conscience closed and only expecting to make profit is what gets gamblers into loses because they will make irrational decisions on their bankroll and soon exhaust it as they take high risk with eyes only on profit looking for daily meal from it. But a reasonable gambler will know that gambling is a game of chance and you will have to position yourself more appropriately for the chances to win like betting few games and not to go for multiple for profit taking only. Looking only at potential and not losing, it could blind you from reasonable gambling.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 17, 2024, 09:52:04 PM


This is not bad at all and as long as it can help me to make better bet selection and records tangible results, then it ok to go along with it and so what becomes the end results for the whole episode or session, but most times in sport bets, it is better you trust only your own fits and instinct most especially when you have already made you games selections

If you have not built your confidence by having some wins then you can not rely on your own idea only especially if you have been having consistent loses, you will want to go through some body you will be looking up to as a professional but what you actually need is the confidence to believe in yourself to make good prediction. However, there is nothing wrong with being guided by someone who is more knowledgeable in the games we want to stake on.

He must have won some huge amount of money for him to have been able to buy a bus for himself and I hope he has learnt his lessons not to involve himself in contraband goods or lifting of armed robbers because some of the bus drivers enter into bad "business " and gang robbery at night, this is just a twist to it. But the point is he has to be careful now that it seem he has been compensated by having a jackpot.

He is lucky with this winning because not many wins such money to be able to get themselves a bus. And he did well to take action immediately and not to start thinking of doubling his winning by being greedy to bet more which is what takes back winning from gamblers. Greed is such that makes a gambler go back to zero level after winning.
831  Other / Politics & Society / Re: How to stop noise pollution? on: January 17, 2024, 06:20:10 PM
If we are being honest, there really is nothing i can do to reduce the total of noise pollution everywhere the best thing i could do is to not contribute to the noise pollution and try to convince others to do the same and for those who will not follow then might as well report them to the authorities so that they meet whatever consequences is waiting for them

Apart from not contributing to noise in the environment yourself, the best ways to make others follow not to increase noise is that the government has to make sure that they make laws guiding noise and public nuisance. If people know that there is law against their actions then they will respect themselves and keep to the standard of the law.

For example there can be a designated place for gathering for party and not to be done in residential places to avoid noise in neighborhood and so if someone is found having party and playing loud music within prohibited places as neighbourhood then they have contravened that law and should be punished for going against the law. If penalties are levied against offenders then the commission of such offense would reduce. This is part of controlling noise pollution.
832  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto gambling and religious restrictions on: January 17, 2024, 05:55:41 PM

Most of them at this age, when it comes to religious issues, really don't like gambling, and in the doctrine of the majority of the religion, they teach that gambling is bad, and this has become a habit among most of their members.


The funny thing is that despite that it is condemned in the religious books but some people who preach against it still gamble in secret. I know of someone who is religious but can't control his gambling urge so he does it in secret so that people will not know about it because he tells them to stop gambling and that is deceit.

I have also planted in my mind that gambling is bad, and I agree with this teaching because gambling does not really bring anything good because the money we put into it is usually wasted unless you suddenly get lucky and win. a large amount, but this rarely happens.

Some people that are making money from gambling will not agree with you that it doesn't bring money , that the money that goes into it is waste of money. They will see it that you are gambling in the wrong way. But really, in every adventure we take there are people who complain about it unproductivity while others benefit from it. So I believe if you take the right part in the things like gambling then we can reduce our loses and improve on our gains. But the point is to gamble as you can risk and if it is not working for you, quitting isn't a sign of weakness but a decision to be better.
833  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: January 17, 2024, 05:11:09 PM

But as I noticed, gambling winners usually never say publicly that they win, they prefer to keep it silent which is why it was unbelievable to someone who claim that they win as it is possibly a big lie.

Maybe the purpose of such exposure is to grab attention and give motivation to the other gamblers to gamble more, a sort of mind manipulation. A strategy that is usually practiced by some sites hiring influential individuals to show their (fake winnings).

I feel that the gambler who is making others believe that he won some money while he didn't may be doing that to take away shame from himself for not winning his betting for sometime because really it is shameful that you are gambling and you are not winning so you can be forced to pretend you have won in the presence of your friends but while you are still hoping to win, so this could be a reason.

Another reason could be to show off that you are a consistent winning and always cashing out making people to believe your prediction. This is the strategy that those who sell predictions use. They paste on their social media handles games that they didn't bet as if they bet and won it just to attract people to subscribe to their gambling channel.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Draw betting strategy on: January 17, 2024, 12:45:24 PM

4.weather conditions : I need your opinions on this point cause I'm not 100 percent sure of it but this is from some of my observation
Do you think weather conditions affect gameplay and increase the likelihood of a draw?


No I don't think weather is a contributing factor to why games end in draw. If a game will end in draw it will depend on the scoring status of the team, that is a team that isn't a lover of goals but defends alot then it will affect the chances of multiple goals. Instead of weather, I think I will prefer injury in the team especially where strikers are not fit or if the team in general is not doing well and not performing to the level they should in their previous matches so you can predict draw but not to use weather as a criteria for playing a draw match.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making too many picks reduces chances of winning. on: January 17, 2024, 06:14:29 AM

If you want to gamble less risky then do not take more quantity because basically you will bother yourself because you are not able to observe the match properly.
.

Few games are the best reasonable way to have some winnings because those who add up to 20 games and more in their bet fail more than gamblers who only pick two or three games at a go to bet. This is more of experience with physical gambling and people you know who tell you their personal gambling history and story to how they have wasted their time in multiple betting to how they have discovered betting single and few games to the positive increase to winning and their account.
836  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 16, 2024, 05:59:03 PM
So I want to ask, between the gambling addict and his immediate family, who does the addiction affect the most?
The kids are the most affected when it comes to their parents involving in gambling addiction. I can see children suffering from starvation or malnutrition due to their parents addiction in gambling wherein they don't have time to take good care of their kids though this mostly happen in lower class but could also happen in higher class if not given an immediate attention.

This is true that it will affect the next people to the addict, that is the dependants like the wife, children and relatives. This is because when someone is engrossed in gambling, apart from money, they don't give time and attention to their families. They get distracted by what they are doing with gambling and the family will suffer because their is a certain care required to grow the children and when one party is not playing their own role both financially, emotionally and otherwise it will affect the offspring.

Moreoso regards to finance, if you are gambling in loses then you are losing the family finance also, money that was suppose to be used for school fees are wasted in gambling, psychologically it set the home backwards if not leading to quarrel between the husband and the wife. Again, it is a wrong precedence and influence on the children of a gambling addicted father.
837  Economy / Gambling / Re: How Crypto casino market themselves? on: January 16, 2024, 05:19:48 PM
Casinos have their audience and those are reached on sites that are crypto friendly. Age is not just the target because we all know that majority of people who visit the internet are young people and they alongside potential fund raiser. So it is natural that casinos will throw their weight on crypto friendly sites especially bitcoin community and that is why this platform is the biggest of the bitcoin community. We have few social media that they also advertise their website like X but majorly they rely on crypto friendly sites.

The thing wey we go need to know be say the two na different parol entirely. Trade na trade, gamble na gamble . Bet9ja na gambling company so na gamble which main strategy na luck but Forex trade no be luck. I don hear people wey dey lose money  for on top Forex and so if to say na luck base then people go dey collect enough money but for gambling, many people do winning it from different levels both newbies and old gamblers but new traders no dey cash out from Forex from wetin I hear. So no be about analysis or the same analysis matter but different skills entirely.
839  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: The leaders of tomorrow. on: January 16, 2024, 12:34:27 PM

The leaders of tomorrow, are children who can't take care of themselves. They're going to graduate from the university at about 18- 19 years old and then literal children would be in the labour force. How is this country going to not only survive but improve if the leaders of tomorrow are immature children who can't make proper decisions?


To me I think say na even university education dey cause wey person go dey university get white bears, person go dey university reach 35 years while Gowon rule this country at the age of 31 Shocked and many more past government officials did all that at a young age and I don't know why they as young people took their destiny sharp sharp in their hand. I think say young people now self dey fall hand and that na because of university education wey dey make person think say you must enter university, study there before you become something and before you no it time don waka. Those families wey get opportunity to train their children for young age dey in order.

Okay now, for job requirements and recruitment, dem go tell you say if you dey above 25 years no apply for the job while some people don stay house 7 years after secondary at 17/18 waiting for jamb to free dem, funny. Job requirements say don't apply if you are above 25 years and at that age some people still dey wait to enter school, that is the unfortunate situation of bad policies of government.

Na this make private school dey flourish. Families dey run train deir children to commot school on time so that dem go still fit get opportunity apply for job no even for getting the job just to qualify to write job exam.

Education system don fall and in the past, the federal government officials hardly go university. Dem just do NDA,some do correspondence and na dem rule this country. We no go blame the youth like that, we see say the economy don really change.

840  Local / Off-topic (Naija) / Re: WHAT IF? on: January 16, 2024, 10:45:51 AM

What if our school just ends In ss3 after which every one learns a particular relevant trade without going to the university? Wouldn't it give our youth the ability to specialize more in their chosen field thereby making them more productive?


There is no limit to education and the higher you go, the more knowledgeable and exposed you should become supposedly. So education doesn't have limit and it is a choice to continue or to stop and learn trade after SS3 education. Therefore just like education doesn't stop at secondary school, it doesn't stop at tertiary level equally, the higher you go, the knowledgeable you become supposedly.

What if we don't need to hustle too much? We just get enough money that can feed ourselves and family and everyone just lives a simple lifestyle.


In this age of internet and digital marketing and growth, so many people are living the easy life. There are people with less struggle but with huge finance. People dey wey dey do small work but dey cash out very big while at home.

What if we have no leaders? We just do our thing and live our lives the way we want o.


Dat one go be die my brother. Live go be like in the beginning of the world wen everything dey barbaric. Life go dey messed up, we go dey live like animals and they compete for things like food, shelter like the way animals dey do. For animal kingdom now for example, na the strongest animal dey take everything because na him go dominant that particular place and this na so because dem no get layed down rules wey dey apart from physical strength. Na im make Thomas Hobbes for him book state of nature, if government no dey for among human beings life go dey.. "without government, life would be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.”


What if we don't have any set out rule? We just live our lives according to our believe system?


We get rules and regulations now and we dey see bully, corruption, hate and all sorts of negative vices talkless of when rules no dey. Omo,things for no good at all because person go continue to eat person like in time past.


  We love bitcoin because of it decentralized nature right? What about living a life that is void of a third party interference?   

Human beings need human beings to do many things including procreate but btc na different thing totally.
