902  Economy / Gambling / Re: Sports betting arbitrage on: January 07, 2024, 03:38:57 PM
I have seen gamblers who do arbitrage gambling but they still lose their bets. Bookmakers understand this business more and won't allow easy means to winning, they know gamblers use arbitrage to try to win and so they also tighten up the odds not to allow that "easy" or sometimes you find out that certain option is not available for a certain game, that is what's happening. They remove certain option that would have made arbitrage winning possible.

And if they can not check it or prevent the easy arbitrage winning then they explicitly state it in their terms and conditions that they don't accept it.
903  Other / Politics & Society / Re: The best way to fight insecurity in our society on: January 07, 2024, 05:52:50 AM
Don't expect that insecurity will be eradicated in the country because there will always be rebels. There will always be those who don't like what the government is doing and the way to send their message is through violence which will destabilise the government from its focus. These rebelling has been there and not going away even in the bible story, there has been war. However, you can say it could be reduced if government becomes sincere and provide social amenities and jobs but it will not be eradicated because it is part of human nature to want to change certain things they feel not right.
904  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Crime and the society on: January 07, 2024, 04:57:31 AM
In my own understanding, I think op is making the post in the contrary that with crime there will be improvement and strengthening of the laws guiding the land because one crime gives room for creating of another law that will apart from finding room for punishment, it will further guide against disobedience and the fear of such penalty will scare prospective offenders away from it. Well that is understandable because there is no society with no crime and laws keep getting fortified to move the land forward.
905  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Why some newbies dey quick lose interest for the forum?? on: January 07, 2024, 04:31:01 AM
The reason dey very simple,  na him be lack of proper mentorship because of anyone established member wan carry person come on board,  the first and most important advice na make the person develop a thick skin,  to be able to absorb all negative energy and still work hard to achieve their aims here in the forum,  and this is very important for a newbie.


But me I no see the attack wey dey here oo, or how person wey you no dey see physically go begin make you fear to the extent wey you go take run away, omo me I no think so oo. My own simple reason be say na growth of their account. We no say e no too be tea party again to move up unlike when dem never introduce the "oil" wey person need to enlarge him coast. So if dat one no dey enter some go dey discourage to follow up.


But because some newbies found this forum on their own the missed such orientation will not be able to absorb any possible attacks from the forum and another online marketplace.

I believe say na those wey find this place by themselves dey waka leave am and no be those wey dem introduce because those wey dem introduce go don get orientation from the person wey introduce dem and so the guide go dey there.
906  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Good thing about your government? on: January 06, 2024, 09:54:06 PM
Even though current one is trying to mess things up, they can't mess up everything during their time because of our consitution.

But good things would be, free healthcare, minimum wage, worker's rights, free education and our social security is pretty extensive. Those could be better but they makes cities more safe and create stability.


These and few more things you have mentioned in your post are the things that my government need to emulate. Although the op asked for good things to follow by another country but when they are absent in your country home then your government need to turn around and learn from other government on how they can do something right. The constitution of a country is important and a country that wants to go higher need to strengthen their constitution and be sure to punish offenders of the law.
907  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: January 06, 2024, 09:28:11 PM
I just discovered a friend's personality, who in real life is very thrift and very conservative but once he played online in casinos he became very reckless and loved to play the risks because for him when it comes to gambling if you cannot take a risk you don't have a chance to win big, that's a big contrast from his real personality for him he has alter ego when it comes to gambling, so his outlook and decision is very much different when playing.

How about you Are you gambling in a way that is very different from your true personality,


That ego is always there in everybody but it depends how we are able to suppress it when it comes to certain things like you have used gambling as example. It also shows in our dealings with another person in relation to money and like gambling is involved, the ego will show in some people bringing out their greedy tendency to win big despite the challenges. So they keep playing no matter how much they have lost.

Alter ego is very influential and it makes a gambler not to accept defeat or loses and this is why they will keep playing even when in loses. Thus, if we can suppress it then the better we gamble not to focus mainly on profit.
908  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online or offline gambling which is more safer? on: January 06, 2024, 06:14:22 PM
Everyone is opting for online gambling offline gambling is completely illegal in the country where I am staying. The law provides severe punishment when caught by the law enforcement agencies. I think online gambling is safer than that. No one has any rules here no one will know when to play how to play even someone close to you will not understand easily. All the news will remain in itself the government and legal forces can do nothing.

Unfortunately your country doesn't allow  physical gambling for different reasons best known to them but it would have given players there a choice to test which one is safer because now you can't conclude whether online or physical is safer. Some gamblers prefer to monitor their bets physically especially does who don't like the online digital system . So it all varies depending on choice and not that one is better or safer who the other wasn't given chance to be tasted. There are gamblers who enjoy offline while some also play in both offline and online.
909  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for January on: January 06, 2024, 04:28:20 PM

$43k - $48k - is already a satisfying price for Bitcoin to see this January.

This is a good range for bitcoin price this month. Although it started a little above 43k this but because of the festive season has slightly shifted to 43k because of the dump looking like a resistance to contend with before the end of the month. I expect some spike volatility before the month goes away with the bitcoin ETF making the news around the market.
910  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Neo-colonialism: Is Nigeria Still Under British Rule? on: January 06, 2024, 03:04:45 PM
Nigeria has not had a president with the indigenous mindset and that is why the situation is like that and makes for the thought of neocolonialism. Nigeria almost had such leadership in the military government of Gen. Sani Abacha but he didn't rule for long but died mysteriously making people to also think he was set up by powers beyond him. So until Nigeria have gotten a president that thinks like having a separate mindset then it will still look as it is with all the indicators of neocolonialism fully activated.
911  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: What do you know about Nigeria (History) on: January 06, 2024, 01:11:14 PM
Me I no just see the value of this thread. Nigerian history bawo? You fit capture everything? Abi wetin we want take am do? The one wey we learn for school no still put food for our table.

Na the corruption side we want talk about abi which part. Nigerian history go beyond heads of states or different government wey don come and go. What about their policies and how they have put Nigerian economy into this quagmire.
912  Economy / Economics / Re: If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.......! on: January 06, 2024, 11:38:58 AM

  • Do not desire the money you will make in the future. Desire good work right now, You don't want cash in, you want to serve.


To achieve this you have to have passion for what you are doing. You have to love it first because if enjoy it then whether money comes out from it already you are already deriving joy from it and with no pressure the financial benefits will start coming up.

But if you don't have passion in what you are doing you may not build yourself against the hard times that is associated with every labour and by that you may give up. Therefore, it is important you like what you are doing. When you are doing something you have passion for, you are not really bothered how much you are paid for doing it but you will add more hard work if you are well paid for it. There nothing that beats getting paid heavily for what you know how to do.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can two clubs owned by one person participate in the Champions League? on: January 06, 2024, 11:17:09 AM
Please I need a confirmation on the information I recently received regarding two clubs owned by the same person not allowed to both participate in the UEFA Champions League which means that one club must have to participate and the other club not allowed to.

No. It is good you brought this question because it will educate many of us. This rule against dependence of clubs was adopted around 1998 and towards 2001 it became active. It prevents clubs that are directly owned and financed from one source to participate in UEFA competition.

I think the major reason for such role is to avoid match fixing. Imagine where the one of the two clubs is yet to qualify and they are to play each other, so what will happen in such instance, of course match fixing.
914  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The most logical and profitable game on: January 06, 2024, 04:19:23 AM
If by logical what you mean is easiest then sports is the answer for me. With sports especially the field game particularly soccer, you know the capacity of the clubs and other small details like bench, injury, features, head to head and general readiness and psychology then you can predict through the analysis made to bet on it. Soccer is a more practical gambling game than many others and its winning chances are higher than losing.
915  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 05, 2024, 09:31:23 PM
if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.


This is typical of the view of an addict who wants to recover his losses  Grin

Consistent in trying to win back loses is a good reason for continuous set back in gambling. It is anger of losing that makes a player to switch game but believe it there are lucky days and bad days, so if I feel unlucky on a day then I better back out from it and wait for another day that I will be lucky instead of chasing back loses.
916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does the tension make you take risk that are sometimes worth it? on: January 05, 2024, 07:16:42 PM

I feel this tension when I invest and I've learned that there are two things that mainly drive it.
1. Putting money on the line that you're afraid to lose.
2. Having high hopes, already planning what you'll do with the profit.

I'm sure it's very similar for those who gamble under pressure.

I think these are the pressuring factors especially that of number two in the list. If you have something that you are looking up to for the money that you have not gotten but on only potential, you will surely be in such a pressure as you are already calculating what to do with the money. Majority of gamblers have this in mind, to already prepare in their mind what they want to do with bet profit and if that fails they start feeling angry. A reason for this is that gambling for fun is not really what we do and that is why the pressure to win is there.
917  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 05, 2024, 02:21:27 PM
Surely, I believe some gamblers would consider betting on the bitcoin ETF if the odds are good.
I can not waste my time on what I do not know when it is going to be approved. SEC has let people know that it is going to be approved but SEC do not let anyone know if the approval day is near or some months from now. There are games I can play and see the result almost immediately, I will prefer to go for that kind of games than wasting my time on bitcoin spot ETF approval.

Of course no gambler will keep waiting and going to sleep and waking up for the sake of waiting for bitcoin ETF because there still other things to bet on but the point is that gamblers will only be interested in the odd that will be set by the bookies for the bet and if it is not encouraging for winning then the betting rate will obviously reduce. Every bettor is interested in how much they will win when they bet, no bettor desire to throw away their money.
918  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you gamble on Bitcoin ETF approval results? on: January 05, 2024, 12:00:29 PM
Of course I have seen different types of bets in these days casino catching up with the latest global activities in bets and that is really making the gaming industry attractive with buzz going on in social media and traditional. We just witnessed the last miss world in bets, we have had the US election also and probably going to witness another of it in their next election. I think we would have also witnessed the "ceremonial" boxing bout between Elon musk and Mark Zuckerberg if it happened. And now the bitcoin ETF is about to go live on bet but the challenge is that not most of the casino activate such betting options and that limit some gamblers the opportunity to stake in them because they may not desire to start a new registration with the casino having the option just for such reason, a one day event that would discontinue for longer time to come. Surely, I believe some gamblers would consider betting on the bitcoin ETF if the odds are good.
919  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Shared games helped you before? on: January 05, 2024, 09:40:54 AM

Okay, I started developing interest by staking some of his games he do shared about 4 to 8 consecutive time I keep trying his games but didn't work out, like no winning has been made and he kept saying I should try last more. It was then I got weird over his failing games and stopped after that day he called me and said someone won about NGN 60,000,000 which about $50,000 with a bet of $2. Some times I began to wonder whether is my fault for not keep following him or what maybe who know what could have happened if that kept having patient to play his predicted games.


I understand exactly what this is and what you are talking about. Those are all luck. Some people are pundit in this aspect, this is how they gamble with you to take part of the share you have won. They are fade up with losing by themselves and so they rely on sending people whatnot predictions in exchange for some percentage of what you have won but what happens when you lose? They don't lose anything I hope we know that.

Sometimes they go a step further to show you winnings from someone that they say used their service especially as you want to give up on him and he wants to get you back which is exactly what he is doing. Believe it sometimes they photo shop this results when you ask for evidence or proof to that winning.

Some people are not just reliable and we can't just be falling for their vices. If someone claims to be an expert in predicting winning games then they should go straight and stake it by themselves and win all the jackpot there is. If they claim not to have money like he told you then he should be able to save up from the percentage he gets from other gamblers he send such predictions to.
920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you care about what people say about you gambling? on: January 05, 2024, 08:06:52 AM
I have always kept my gambling activity private. It's not because I care what others might think, I just value my privacy especially when it comes to financial matters. As long as it is not hurting anybody then there is no reason for people to judge you for being a gambler or anything else you do in your private life. Gambling isn't some evil thing that only degenerates do. It is a normal activity that normal people do for enjoyment.

Truly someone can keep their gambling life private but it doesn't mean that they are totally private because some people know about it without your knowledge but they will pretend not to know until a day that it may be revealed to your own surprise. Some people also know but decide not to do anything about it because they don't see it as their business. There are some family men who keep such gambling habit away from their wives but the wife may also know about it but decide to keep it to herself until a certain they when you deny it  Grin
