In my area, individuals aged 21 or older don't attract extra attention when engaging in gambling. When someone loses or wins in gambling, the best course of action is often to keep it low-key to prevent it from becoming a significant issue down the road. For those who aren't addicted, it can be discreetly managed without affecting their financial situation.

For individuals who are addicted to gambling, it's no longer possible to keep it hidden or secret. Even their families become aware of it. Warnings often arise from other family members, but there's no positive change in sight.

I've never dealt with gambling on a local platform because I prefer casinos from abroad. I also don't openly share my casino gaming with people around me, but when they talk about their gambling experiences, I'll certainly tell them. It's not about keeping it a secret, but it's also not about openly disclosing it.


There is a age you get to in my own region engaging in too much of gambling will show how irresponsible you are especially when you are poor they feel it will make you situation your worst since some actions are taking out of desperation to leave poverty which are very reckless decision. The majority will not keep quiet, and the only time they will do so is when they lose money, and if it is sports, they will make excuses about how one game ruined the entire ticket, which may include lying to cover up their loss. And not to be held accountable for how they failed. And those who are addicted will always leave their wins open in order to pique the curiosity of others, and instead of managing the entire thing, they will see an opportunity to make more money while disregarding prudence.

The Satoshi White Paper has been around for over 14 years. But still most of the people have not become very knowledgeable about this Bitcoin, they are most of the people who are technologically behind. Some people don't even know how Bitcoin works, how it is used, and how much it benefits a transaction. It is true that there are some people who do not understand fiat as an economic alternative. But it is difficult to explain the technical or economic position to those who are largely ignorant of this subject, but those who are knowledgeable about it must understand everything about economics.


Aside from the Satoshi white paper, there are several great publications with impressive write-ups that can be used as a guide. If you want to get involved with bitcoin, you must be prepared to do some research because there will be numerous rewards. That part of the situation cannot be overlooked. Many people are still technologically behind, which is why I am always delighted to see people promoting awareness because people genuinely need that knowledge. The major problem with people is that they don't want to suffer and they want money because i don't see a reason why you will invest in what you don't have knowledge on. It does not show responsibility at all in term of finance. And that is even when they invest they don't succeed because they choose to be ignorant.

What do you think about the whole story behind the death of our popular singer, mohbad? I feel with the numerous videos coming up lately, dude really went through a whole lot of physical and emotional trauma before his demise.

In a country were proper investigation Is taken seriously, the root course of his death should have started coming out by now, but you know this is Nigeria, everything just comes and goes away with time. It's a shame.

I was humbled for the first time in my life since my spirit had never been touched in the way that Mohbad's death had. I began by considering how meaningless existence is. Observing the entire process following his death. And most of the videos that came up showed how the boy was threatened and bullied, and I appreciate how people are fighting for him, but I don't like how his father is treating property. And, thank God, the police have made it public for the investigation, and those responsible for his bullying should face no more punishment. Something need to be corrected in the music industry. Some exposures are already happening music no be cult na.

The salary of an average Nigerian worker is about N150,000( $160) per month and this is for graduates that have put in some years of service. Unfortunately, base on the currenct economic realities of our country, 50% of this fund is spent on feeding. This is to say that many people are leaving from hand to mouth because the remaining 50% is not enough to cover to shelter, health, clothing, utilities and other basic amenities.

If urgent steps are not taken, people will drift towards depression and that is not good for a country with population of 200 million people. 


Even earning 150k monthly relies on the industry you work in, and even gaining the money isn't helping much; the money can't even keep up with the bills because the person generating the money is still battling to stay up with the whole scenario.  And the government has refused to revise the minimum wage, at least because the price of things is not friendly to people at all, from the price of fuel to the price of food. Everyone is just trying to survive it is no longer about how well you are doing. because even housing is becoming ridiculously costly, because despair is terrible and leads to a slew of unpleasant outcomes, both mentally and physically.

I am from bangladesh. Unfortunately like most of the developing countries, it's still illegal to use crypto in my country. Although many people use it from my country, to feed and provide for their family, even me, but we don't/can't share crypto information with others. You can say we secretly use it. We all know crypto can be much much volatile, I'm not just talking about Bitcoin but all that related with crypto. Also crypto is best know for it's anonymity. It is basically untraceable. In short it can be weaponized. I think the Government fear this the most. Can't blame anyone. Everything has it's good and bad sides. But at least, crypto gave us our financial freedom.

In my own country, it is not legal it is not illegal so it is still very operational I even see people owing ant minners so to some extent the government is flexible on the Bitcoin environment I only know of periods where the government was locking accounts that are crypto-related but along the line it was becoming more flexible to use or invest in bitcoin, and sincerely bitcoin have helped a lot of people and also provided for a lot of family. I try to share any information related to crypto but I have to strategies how I share such information it is very risky when introducing anyone because some people will start blaming you for how they invested money and the price will go down and will decide to sell, the best thing I will make the nature of bitcoin very clear to avoid drama.

Well, knowing how to differentiate between Bitcoin (BTC) and other tokens that are similar in name, like Bitcoin Cash (trash) are one step in the right direction. I have heard about several people who have bought bitcoins at a supposed "bargain" price... only to find out that they have bought Bitcoin Cash.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Also, people say they are buying bitcoins, when they are actually buying into some Ponzi scheme that are using Bitcoin as a payment option. So knowledge will help you not to make those mistakes.  Tongue

That's the issue people don't want to ask questions and they believe in their own knowledge, and that is why I always advise people aside from the research also have a mentor it will even make things easier for better understanding,  and there different altcoin that people even rush into it to buy neglecting the whole process of researching and asking questions. the story of how people end up buying bitcoin cash is just very funny and the person felt he was taking opportunity and when people hear about bitcoin they are always excited about how they have bitcoin because of the profit, not knowing that there is more to it.

Old Trafford isn't anymore the stronghold it used to be.
I can see why you're saying this with the way they lost to Brighton and they haven't been that convincing in their home wins. It's still 1 loss out of 3 so I wouldn't come to that conclusion yet. Smaller teams may have lost their fear and respect to a certain extent playing at Old Trafford but I think MU will still manage to win most of their home games.
Aside the game Brighton played against united is not the only reason that dude made that statement of Old Trafford, the whole thing was rated by there performance, since thing season started Manchester united have not been the self and instead of them to start solving there problem, they are acting has if they don't care. And the way smaller teams are looking very dangerous, posing a challenge to practically every club. Even though West Ham did not win, I was impressed with the manner in which they played Manchester City. Manchester United will be doomed this season unless they improve their performance next week.

Barcelona vs Real Betis in this match, Barca team won brilliantly. The 5-0 win was truly remarkable, with every player performing brilliantly to win the match. Barcelona scored 2 goals in the first half and 3 goals in the second half for a total of 5 goals. Barcelona have a home game for which they have a strong attack against Betis. Where Betis players did not perform well and eventually lost badly against Barcelona. By winning this match, Barcelona took Real Madrid's place in the La Liga points table, where Real Madrid were at the top of the points table, now they moved to the 2nd position and Barcelona reached the top position.
Real Betis did not see that coming and it was a heavy blow on there face and they did did not expect the amount of goals that were scored yesterday. Barcelona went on full attack on Real Betis its been a while since Barcelona stung any team like this. Not even allowing them to score a single goal. Even though R. Lewandowski scored the second goal with numerous assists, I was already certain that Barcelona would win after seeing two goals in the first half. According to the statistics, Barcelona dominated in terms of ball possession and shots on target. There were nine shots on target. And while Barcelona has flipped Real Madrid and is now leading them by one point, Madrid will still take the lead very soon.

Manchester City won 5 matches in a row. They are at the top of the table with 15 points from 5 matches. Manchester City is 2 points ahead of second placed Liverpool and Tottenham in the table. This year's title fight has become quite crowded.
Yes, even Manchester City was one goal behind, but that didn't make Manchester City give up. Playing as a guest certainly has its own pressure in front of all West Ham fans, but Manchester has experience facing West Ham so turning things around is not complicated, even three goals were enough. more than enough for Manchester City to pocket three points with five wins at the start of this season.

Haaland also played well and was able to score a goal to complete Manchester City's victory, which we know is that he is Manchester City's goal machine who scores the most goals and was even the top scorer last season. I think Guardiola and his team really deserved to win today. . Next are preparations against Red Star in the UCL group phase which will be in the next few days.

I watched the game with my friends at first when I saw the amount of pressure West Ham was putting on Manchester City the counter was becoming great to the extent I was even scared that West Ham to win until Manchester City came back for the second half and was on fire even if it was not as easy has it was expected but I know whatever the situation might be manchester city will always look for a way to balance thing up and the funny thing was how Haaland was looking for opportunity to score until he did a check and balance and scored the third goal and west ham tried to score but all the attempts were discarded. and since this season started Manchester City has not lost a single game how impressive.
890  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you manage your money on gambling sites. on: September 16, 2023, 04:40:28 PM
I've been following a few gambling channels on Twitter and Telegram, and whenever they share a screenshot of a bet slip or winning ticket, they occasionally also include the balance of their wallet. I've seen this happen several times, which made me wonder why they don't choose to withdraw their winnings instead of storing them in their gambling site wallet. Why do they leave that much in there, or is it simply for show off? A gambling expert should know better than to save their money on casino websites. 

I always withdraw all my winnings and only deposit the right amount i want to use to gamble whenever i want to play a game. I’d like to know everyone’s opinion on which way is better and which one do you practice in managing your funds on gambling sites.

I also come across such types of people from all kinds of social media they show off their winning slips, I have even tried to follow them until I lost to almost every code they provided so from then I don't even believe whatever is coming from them, some will even ask you to pay money to have access to their gambling channels, which I don't feel is advisable, if you see a game to gamble draft it your self. some of this is just a strategy for them to get the attention of people to either their channels. and some are just to show off but for security, it does not make sense been that is Twitter.

Wolverhampton played an incredibly intense game in the first half and they increased the tempo more and more with every minute. Liverpool mostly tried to defend, Wolverhampton scored an early goal, the subsequent attacks did not yield any results, they were effective attacks that could have resulted in more goals.2. The semi was Liverpool's comeback. Gaggo scored his first goal this season. Salah is truly a very different winger, we can say that he is the best, he assisted in all three goals, had a share in each goal, and offered plenty of goals to his teammates.


Even before wolves, they were not an average club, and their performance was really stunning; I am sure even Liverpool did not expect this from them. And from the first half, because the manner they scored after only seven minutes had me convinced that wolves would win, but even then I was having second thoughts because Liverpool can be impressive in their play as well. The attacks that the Wolves launched were all failing, and I was impressed with how Liverpool adjusted their attack strategy. That is what all clubs should do rather than coming to the club and underestimating other clubs. And Liverpool won 3:1, according to the statistics. Liverpool easily defeated the Wolves in terms of goals as well as stats such as time possession and the rest.

I have never imagined that this is going to be an easy comparison for how Bitcoin has gone far for being an appreciating asset and how dollar is depreciating. The images that were posted just shows that if you've been a bitcoin believer and held until now, you didn't chose the wrong option but you should be proud of yourself that the quantities that you've been accumulating for a very long time is starting to see the fruits of it. Well, you can reward yourself if you have got that much of Bitcoin and buy that device if you want to, or keep on pushing yourself at the best to keep on holding it until we see another price appreciation which is likely for the next bull run just after the Bitcoin halving.
Bitcoin has developed a name for itself, and in the last few years, those who have been wise enough to invest in bitcoin have realized its value, which is why everyone is finally going into it. And in my own country, bitcoin isn't appreciating; rather, it's becoming more costly, hurting practically everything. A lot of people are bitcoin believer and been that it has played out well in the life of people that have earned from it and they keep encouraging people who are serious minded to also invest. Accumulating is just the best because not every one can buy a single bitcoin due to the amount, and everyone that that have venture into bitcoin have benefited.

Boss putting my thoughts together to make a useful and informative comment here I will edit this comment with the full personal essay on this topic,  of play-to-earn games popping up now in our country and their dangers,  I still researching some facts and data,  permits me to reserve this spot for that comment because it deserved to stay on the first page.

Thanks always, my able colleague Fivestar4everMVP .  Tongue


I see a lot of advertisements for this waje game popping up, especially when I'm watching Facebook videos; they will make it appear as if it's another great opportunity to make money, play, and earn, but I was not interested from the start because I knew something was fishy about it you earn by just playing games, not by taking surveys or doing anything else. I don't trust everyone in this country because they can do anything to make money. And I like the information because I'm sure a lot of people would have believed their scheme and began playing if you had found more information, as they say information is power, and we can also tell people outside the forum about it.

  • West Ham vs Man City
West ham has had a very good record this season, they are one of the teams that have not lost a game so far this season, so it is not just going to be another easy game for Manchester City even though they are the favorites to win. If Manchester City do not bring their best game, they will lose to a vibrant West Ham side. For West Ham, Manchester City is going to be their first biggest test for the season for us to know how improved they have become this season. If they win it, they will be doing the other premier league clubs a Favour against a very strong Manchester City side that has decided not to lose any game.


True that West ham have did very well this season, even far better than Chelsea and manchester united that we are yet to know what direction they want to take, if they don't want to get serious they should  stop playing. If it is Manchester City, everyone knows what they are capable of. This should not be much of a debate, although the game may not be easy, but Manchester City's triumph is already guaranteed. No matter how vibrant West Ham becomes, the city will first study how they play and search for flaws to exploit, as Manchester always does. And I'm sure every team wants Manchester to lose because it will make them happy. Am gradually planning on how to decamp to Manchester city.

896  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bank vs Crypto: Are they opposites? on: September 14, 2023, 05:05:28 PM


Banks are now looking at how they can gain something - meaning profits - out of cryptocurrency. Why is this so? Because many of banking leaders are now convinced that cryptocurrency is here to stay and its market is expanding. So banks are now looking forward how they can collaborate and cooperate with cryptocurrency most especially since they are sensing of a big demand coming from their own client base. Potential conflicts can always be ironed out for the sake of making a slice in the profit cake.
Aside from banks, I'm sure the government is searching for a method in cryptocurrencies, and banks being involved, in my opinion, will not go well since the banks' basis is with the customers' money, and they are absolutely frightened because the price is not steady. However, banks have access to cryptocurrency. Since money is needed to purchase bitcoin. And the bitcoin has just increased its environment and keep expanding every seconds.  The demand has seriously increased recently and people are really interested. And am sure the government and the banks would have looked for ways just put a stop to bitcoin but it can not work.
But bitcoin are banks are similar but operate in different functionality.

A very interesting weekend match to watch when the two teams meet again is Manchester City against West Ham. Previously, in the first match last season, West Ham lost without being able to score a goal 2-0 against Manchester City. And now is the time for West Ham to show their defensive prowess against Manchester City and avenge their defeat in the previous match, or even later the two teams will draw with a score of 1-1.
Last week was a little boring due to the break and there were no games to watch, but they are back in addition to coming back but also with an interesting game Manchester City against West Ham, just like the first against the fifth, Manchester City have made a good record to have won all of the matches this season and no draws, Manchester City have made a good record to have won all of the matches this season and no draws, Manchester City have made a good record to have won all of there games. West Ham winning against Manchester City is only going to be a miracle. Even if they play a defensive game the City will still find there way around to score. And City will still win 2: 0 and West Ham can not revenge on Manchester City. They should play smart and strategies the amount of energy for different positions.
898  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How late is too late to place a bet for a gambler? on: September 13, 2023, 08:30:58 PM
I place live bets constantly most of the time when there is a special match event on play, infact, I would say that I've won more of my live bets than I've won in bets I placed before the match began proper..

But then again, the above is not to say that I've not loss live bets, I've actually lost several live bets more than I've won, yeah, I am that bad in sports predictions, most especially football, but like I mentioned above, I have won more live bets compared to normal bets..

So I would say that, I still prefer betting on live matches much more than betting on matches before they begin, though most live matches comes with very small odds, which makes winning big amount of money quite impossible.

Is quite some time since I placed a bet due to the time factor, Everybody has their strategy for betting that works for them, I also prefer placing bets before the game starts because sometimes during the game, If you don't take the time to look, you will see that the odds are no longer the same and have decreased. The majority of people have lost more often than they have won, and I don't believe that losing has anything to do with poor prediction sometimes, it's just a chance. and if you prefer live matches then it's not a bad idea if it works for you.

We don't need to rush all things. People are just being too much optimistic with the bitcoin and getting hyped, so our regrets about making an investment we are passing through to the people we know can invest and give their courage like we miss out, give them a chance to understand it first not as always we are earning money, and we know older people are afraid to risk their money because it's hard-earned and they want to make sure all of that investment decision they made will result in a good outcome. Well at the end its a good news one of your family member now understand the use of the bitcoin but again its your guidance you are the one who really more knowledgeable with that we know how elder always ask if they manage to take a profit or not.


People are just excited because the idea they have about bitcoin and knowing that you have bitcoin, you will be respected, and that is why even those who do not have bitcoin will say they have bitcoin, and I am sure that if an examination is done for those who said they have bitcoin, the outcome of the result will surprise you. And the hype is even worth it and everyone wants he or her friend to be part of bitcoin so that they don't miss out but if anyone is doing an introduction they should also know the risk before going fully into it. I don't blame other people because money is scarce these days all they need is adequate advice and permission to conduct study in order to know what measures to take. take.

Maybe problems will occur in our family environment if we get into the habit of gambling because it could cause friction between family members. Hence, this is something vulnerable that could happen to our family.
It not only causes disputes among family members but also within society. Many local people don't like gambling because it will have a bad impact and what people are afraid of is that it will affect the surrounding environment by gambling. Indeed, gambling is only done for fun, but as long as you can manage your finances and control yourself, it will not cause disputes. But usually people who have been affected will find it difficult to control their finances, especially when hanging out with friends who are also gambling addicts. So, be wise in managing your finances so that you don't lose too much because of gambling.

People love money and are interested in anything that will make them money, therefore I'm sure certain families will always be against anyone who gambles. They believe that gambling may ruin lives, especially when a person is hooked, but the question is, if a gambler wins big, would they think the worst of him and encourage him to keep playing, or will they demand the money back? I doubt it. and the local people gamble because they see it as empowerment to make money even if they are not winning, They just have a fixed mentality about the whole thing, whatever anyone is doing should have measures, especially in finance, having friends that are gambling addicts should be avoided. for proper measures.
