1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: September 29, 2025, 10:32:25 PM
I'm not sure people saw this coming, Crystal Palace is currently on an 18 match unbeaten run and within this period of 18 matches unbeaten, they've played against Liverpool thrice, which includes winning against them in the Community Shield, Manchester City which includes winning them to lift last seasons FA cup, Arsenal and among others. Crystal Palace has been on a mad form lately and they are a team to watch out for.

I still recall their first game in this season which ended in a draw. It was a match a lot of us expected to end in favour of Chelsea, but things turned the other way round and we saw the match ended in a draw. Their form and tenacity in that game shows a lot about their preparation for this season. They are sitting on the third place on the standings with just two points separating them with Liverpool on first position and one point with Arsenal on second position. They recently defeated Liverpool in their most recent premier league game. They have not lost any match in the premier league this season. No doubt of their form, they’re a team to watch out on this season by top teams.

Telegram doesn’t really give some users the impression to always go back to their topic even if they’ve been replied to. Some use it more for merit notifications or watching of a topic or board rather than using it to get back to mentions on the forum.
Are you sure we've been using the same telegram bot? The telegram bot gives you a notification whenever you're mentioned and whenever you get a reply to any of your posts. You can also track a topic you didn't create and get a notification whenever people reply to that topic. You can do the same with a board. You can track a board and get notified whenever a new topic has been created in that board.
I don't know where you got the idea that the bot doesn't give notifications for replies.

You are mistaken and maybe didn’t get what I said. I meant some users are not really concerned with the notifications they receive from telegram bots after being mentioned by a user in the forum or after being mentioned under a topic they’ve created and users are replying to. They’re more concerned with attending to the telegram bot notifications when it is about a new topic created in a board they’re tracking, or after receiving merit and was notified by the bot.

Why will you create a thread, and you won’t even fall back to read the response of other people, it doesn’t make sense to me. I know some of them will definitely read it, just that they won’t respond to anyone, but if you create a thread and you noticed that people were able to provide answers to your question, at least you should also make your contribution also. You shouldn’t just create thread and ignore the thread, visit the thread often and check out what people are saving on the thread.

Sometimes it gets boring with so many similar responses on the topic, so OP don’t feel the need to engage their again and look to let the topic be. If the OP have gotten the answer to the question it doesn’t mean he should be there to answer to every reply there, it may becomes spamming. Leaving the thread open for others to learn from and also draw some questions from his topic for other users to reply to is fine. I have seen OP creating a thread and the replies coming will be quoted more than the OP itself. In this regards, the OP just needs to sit back and learn again from his own topic and only ask again on where he/she is not clear, otherwise no need to comment on his thread again.

Make use of the Telegram bot or any other ways to keep track of replies to your topics and posts, interact, and not just drop topics and forget about them.
It’s a good idea to make use of telegram bot, at least if you are quoted, you going to receive notification, and you going to visit the thread, but even without telegram notification, if you create a thread, you should always make sure you check out the thread to check people’s responses.

Telegram doesn’t really give some users the impression to always go back to their topic even if they’ve been replied to. Some use it more for merit notifications or watching of a topic or board rather than using it to get back to mentions on the forum.
4  Economy / Speculation / Re: What's your price speculation of bitcoin in October. on: September 29, 2025, 08:45:42 PM
History may prevail in this month of uptober but if it doesn’t prevail, then it is still going to be a normal scenario to work with in the market. Not all history repeat themselves but we bitcoin enthusiasts believe that whatever it may be, bitcoin will continue to progress in the right course. I may be very optimistic of the price of bitcoin in this new coming month since the one about to be concluded proved to be arrogant to bring the market into a bearish trend.

My thoughts now is that, what if we don’t see an uptober, does that mean the end of the bull run and we are gradually drifting into the bearish cycle? Hopes may keep us to believe that the bull run is not yet over but when the reality strikes, it may be too late for some holders who wish to sell and we just have to accept it by then. I hope uptober prevails and history repeat itself again.

There was a week when I placed over 40 ETH trades. Small wins, big losses, endless stress. My account balance didn’t move much, but my energy was gone.

That taught me that more trades don’t equal better results. Sometimes waiting for one clean setup is worth more than 20 rushed entries.Are you trading with purpose or just trading to feel busy?

Trading with purpose is the best. Using that method of trading to approach the trading market will make stand well in the market to achieve better results even in the long run. This is where risk management matters. Having a good risk management can even make you not to be on a loss after placing four trades and losing three. Rushing into the market to take every trade without decisively selecting the best of the setups to go well, it will only make you open your chances of risks and losses the more. Trading is a mind game, don’t fall for its trap and stay true to your risk management strategy, it’ll pay well later.

It's 2-1 currently. Yamal presence chnaged the game. It was a brilliant pass from Yamal to Lewandowski that led to the second goal as Lewandowski finished with a good header straight into the back of the post on the 59th minutes of the match. Barcelona is dominating the game, I expect more goals from them in this match. However, Real Sociedad is playing tough.

Barcelona won the match on this scoreline. Real Sociedad did their best but wasn’t enough to beat Barcelona or hold them to a draw. Yamal in the game was a good morale to the whole team. There is always a player that every team player sees as the man for the team, when he plays, they play differently.

After Real Madrid lost their match yesterday, I know it was going to be a tough game today and Barcelona will give it all to win this match. Overtaken Real Madrid in the standing is a good one for them at this point, so seeing the opportunity comes for them won’t make them to relax not to grab it. I knew they were going to win this match.

Chelsea can't be compared to Benfica because of what they have achieved up until now, and Chelsea is considered to be one of the big clubs, and their poor performance can't take that away from them. However, when we are talking about performance, there is nothing wrong with comparing Chelsea to Benfica because Chelsea's performance is really poor.

Don't make it seem as if, because of what Chelsea has achieved in the past, their current poor performance should prevent them from being compared with teams of the same caliber.

Even at this form and pace Chelsea is performing, they’re better than Benfica and comparing them with each other is not just what the true sense of the comparison is suppose to be. Benfica is not a poor team but they’re not a match to what Chelsea is in the past and how Chelsea is today. The champions league encounter between them may be rated as average, not because Chelsea cannot prevail against them but because the champions league is inconsistent with team’s outcome in a game and anything can happen as a result of that.

The level of intense football Chelsea have played hasn’t been witnessed by Benfica before. So on this game, it is either a win for Chelsea or a draw in the match, even a loss is not what I think will be the outcome of the game if Chelsea plays maximally and not fuck up in this match as they’ve done in some games in the premier league. Despite this being the champions league competition, I still feel Chelsea can make mistakes that may cause them to fall in this game.

That's a very big and serious hope though, let's see how far they can go with this because over the years Arsenal is known to start good and finish badly, it's like their tradition over some years now but for the sake of the fans let's hope it turns out good for them this time around. I still don't trust Arsenal and I'm judging from previous seasons.

Arsenal have already kept a narrative in our minds as not being a consistent team and that anytime they get to play, it doesn’t last for a very long term before they get back to their odd ways and drop out of the race of the league title. This is a very good opportunity for them to get more closer to Liverpool in the standings and with the outcome of today’s game, they just need to maintain consistency if they want to win it. The premier league is a competitive league, just a simple mistake can make you lose out on the chances of winning the trophy. Being super consistent is very important here ti achieve victory at the end of the season.

I didn't expect the result of the Liverpool vs Crystal Palace match, and in extra time I hoped Liverpool would make a miraculous comeback and make the score 2-1, but the result was the opposite which made me even more disappointed because I had bet quite a lot on Liverpool plus I also bet on Real Madrid and lost badly to Atletico Madrid, this was quite surprising considering both teams had just experienced their first defeat, but I had to accept it with an open heart because anything could happen beyond expectations.

This is football for us and we just have to learn to live with the reality of it when it struck us. Liverpool are a team that always win in the final minutes of the game, so seeing them equalising the first goal, I was expecting them to score the second goal and win the match. Things change turn and we saw Crystal Palace take the lead once more to end the match in their favour. Crystal Palace has handed Liverpool their first defeat of the season and with this, I can say once more that Arsenal unbeaten season record has been saved again.

Today’s result is just annoying, most people will definitely be losing their bet today, because lots of teams surprised me today, the only big team that were able to get a win today is just Manchester city, others didn’t play well, and they ended up losing.

Manchester City are the only big team that won their match today, but let’s see what the outcome of Arsenal’s match will be tomorrow. Manchester City are now looking in top form and with this strength they’re showcasing now, I can only see them reaching the top level in the premier league this season. Manchester City are now in form and no doubt about it. Haaland is already making his way to become the highest goal scorer this season.

Everyone can praise any player who has achieved great things in football, including Harry Kane. And I also see this as quite extraordinary progress for Harry Kane and the Bayern Munich team that recruited him, who have been able to show their best performances in the Bundesliga in the last two seasons. I think Bayern Munich can be a formidable opponent this season for any team in the Bundesliga and also for any team in the Champions League, because that reflects the level of ability of the Munich players themselves.

Bayern Munich has long been a formidable team in the Bundesliga, so seeing them playing up to standard is not surprising anymore. They’ve really shown a great performance in the competition so far and I expect them to be at their best throughout the remaining season. Harry Kane was a good player and striker even when he played in the premier league, so playing up to standard is not surprising anymore. He has been a boost to Bayern Munich team and having him in the team will definitely boost their morale and bossy their chances in triumphing in the Bundesliga and even in the champions league.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: September 26, 2025, 09:43:03 PM
Bayern Munich have a good history in the Champions League and they're really trying to maintain it by being one of the toughest club in the competition. They started so well in the Champions league and with the strength of their squad this season I believe that they'll do well in the Champions League this season.

Their first match against a top team like Chelsea ended in victory for them. I see them going to do well this season like they’ve always done in the past. Putting in more efforts than before can see them through to the final stage of the competition, they just need to remain strong and competitive for all top teams to find it difficult to defeat. We may still be in the group stage fixtures, but you can tell some teams already with their fixtures that they’ll make it to the knockout phase of the competition. The champions league is a tough competition but no matter the situation, some teams always find their way through and make it far in the competition.
13  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: I'm worried about the current exchange rate, aren't you? on: September 26, 2025, 08:57:30 PM
I know how heartbreaking you may feel, from holding USDT of $1800 to the recent price fall of $1480. But try to accept the reality that our naira to dollar is at its recovery stage. Let's see how far it could go as some of our country economists are predicting that the dollar to naira would fall between $1400-$1300 by the end of the Year. It could happen or not, the future will tell us that as we look forward to a better Nigeria, that everything will be stabilized in price. We see to that in the future

Stabilization is what we’re clamoring for and I hope we all get to see it happen in the future, in the soonest if possible. I saw the news of economist predicting Naira to fall to N1400/$ but I doubted it but now it’s already becoming a reality to believe. I hope we get to see the better part of this fall in price in the future because it won’t really make any sense especially to those that save and earn in dollar. And if the changes happen, even those that earn in Naira will know the value of their money more.

I no really understand your plight that dollar to naira rate should remain fixed or what?. I think you should be happy that the naira is coming instead to dey feel bad because looking at it from another angle it will look as if you are only considering your self alone. If this changes will affect the price of goods in the local market then I see nothing wrong with it.

How many times has Naira appreciation ever affected the price of everything in the country, I can’t remember a time it happened so. We only get to see things increasing in price and the so called sellers of the product relate it to rise in Naira price rate to dollar. Now that Naira is appreciating, we need to see the result of it in the price of goods. We haven’t seen in the past but we hope we see in the future. This is what makes it not nice because at this point, it’ll affect those earning in dollar and those also buying in Naira since no change in price of goods.
14  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Don't Use Your Business Funds To Invest In Bitcoin. on: September 26, 2025, 08:37:20 PM
Instead of planning to use your business money to invest in bitcoin, I advise you to use the profit to invest.

Using your profit from business to invest can be a dangerous thing to do if you don’t make a risk free calculation before doing that. When you’ve started up a business and you get to see be generating profit, eating up the profit and leaving the capital can be very dangerous. Profits from business like this needed you to kept for emergency issues that can come up form the business, I mean unforeseen circumstances that can shamble your business up.

So whilst already having a profitable business, having an emergency funds is important for the business also before you’ll want to take your part of profit to invest in bitcoin. Bitcoin investment is a long term investment that putting your profit without having an emergency funds for the business yet will make your Bitcoin holding fail within a short time because you’ll definitely want to withdraw when emergency arises which can affect the investment.
15  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think we are enjoying our human rights? on: September 25, 2025, 09:48:00 PM
Well let me also give my own definition of fundamental human rights, fundamental human rights are Those basic rights and freedom we humans are entitled to irrespective of our nationality, colour, language, sex, religion, and other status which I didn't include that is suppose to be included. And  in some countries this fundamental human rights are been given to their citizens, while in some countries it is vice versa. My Country for instance we the citizens are been denied all this fundamental human rights and freedom, especially right to life and freedom of speech. We don't longer have the right to life humans beings are been slottered like animals in my country and the government is doing nothing about it, talk more of freedom of speech, in my country you dare not talk anyhow, because if you do your owe is finished.

No any country does the citizens gets to enjoy all the fundamental human rights even if it is stated in the law of the country. When you have access to some, your access to some are limited and you can’t just misuse or overuse it. I think all these are kept so in order for the full power and authority to remain with the government.

What is happening in Nigeria is banditry and cannot be equated fully to fundamental human rights. Insecurity is a very serious issue that when a country is bound to it is always used for the benefit of the government. I still remember one of the past leaders of Nigeria that said if any insecurity situation lasts for more than 24hours then the government has a hand in it and that’s what we’re facing here now.

Leverkusen's form isn't actually that bad if we look at just the first four matches of the season. In those four matches, Leverkusen has only lost once, meaning three of those four matches ended in points, although two of them were draws. So, overall, Leverkusen's start to the season hasn't been too bad, especially considering they've only played four matches with very mixed results. Everyone will be watching Leverkusen's upcoming matches each week to more accurately assess the team's condition.

Bayern Leverkusen are not a team that we can actually expect them to be poor this season again. Even last season wasn’t kind of poor for them, they just didn’t make the season very difficult for Bayern Munich as they did the season they won the league title. They just need to improve in their coming games because their start to the season can be rated on an average level and not satisfactorily good. They have the time to still fight for the title with their top contenders, so I’m expecting a more interesting games from them going forward.
17  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: September 25, 2025, 08:31:27 PM
Liverpool are playing really well, and it's no coincidence that they're sitting on 15 points, five points behind three teams: Arsenal, Tottenham, and Bournemouth. Great for them, now they need to manage this advantage and, above all, avoid making mistakes.
They would pay for every mistake by losing their lead.

Maintaining that first place won’t be a very hard task for Liverpool but I can’t vouch same for Arsenal. Only Liverpool and Manchester City will I vouch for that can keep to that position for a long period of time. They have shown to be the best last season and this season is already pointing the trophy towards them by achieving this excellent lead after just five games. Five point lead is a good one that it’ll take them losing two matches before they’ll be overtaken in that position. I don’t think they’ll make careless mistakes now.

Is it Man U you are given this high motivational hope? Well, I will not raise my hopes on Man U, they are disappointing, and it will not suddenly change. Perhaps if they've proven themselves with at least 5-7 matches, we can start raising hope, but for now, believe in Man U at your own disappointment. Fine, clubs could have their ups and downs, but when it is getting too much despite changing players and coaches, one has to be wise in their remarks. So, I support @MAAManda 100% on this.

The problem with Manchester United is still yet known, I don’t know how long they can keep finding this mystery and get back to their good old form, they call it the old glory days of Manchester United. Ever since Alex Ferguson left the club, they have not being their best self and we won’t be surprised if Amorim ends up being like other coaches that came before him. I will not also raise my hopes on Manchester United until they prove me wrong that they’re back which will take just more than 5 games to prove that. I await their long term journey in the premier league this season if it’ll be on the progressive or retrogressive side.

18  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season on: September 24, 2025, 09:26:29 PM
It a win-win game situation, any team that qualified for the champions league competition can't be underrated, Chelsea aren't stable in their form right now, out of their 3 straight matches, they drew 2 of their Premier league games and lost 1, and in the Champions League they lost to Bayern Munich, they haven't won any game since their last 4 matches.

They have actually played five matches, won two, drew two and lost one. With five matches so far and sitting on the sixth place on the table, it is something to not really say they’re that bad yet. With close point gaps between this teams now, any form of loss from any team will push the one lower to climb up the standings quickly.

Their journey in the champions league is yet to be fascinating but with their coming fixture against Benfica, a win for them will boost their confidence in the competition. They have shown the whole world to be the best team, so they’ve to prove it in the champions league once again which comprises of the top teams in Europe.

The first mistake you’ll make when you hold a large sum of bitcoin is telling people about your holdings, you’re just inviting people to you that will not like you for holding that amount of bitcoin and criminals are always on the watch out even within your locality to take advantage of such news. Any method you’ll want to use to back up the news from being used against you may only be temporarily and will not serve effectively for its purpose. With a good wallet security and installation of CCTV cameras at home, when you’re held at gunpoint, you don’t have a choice that to spill them out. So it’s better not to tell even jokingly and keep your savings private and secured with yourself only.
20  Economy / Economics / Re: Political aspects of cryptocurrencies on: September 24, 2025, 08:31:19 PM
The poor who invest in Bitcoin are still not enough to get rich, their economy would improve, but they will step up to middle class. Then back to your first sentence, middle class will disappear, so they ended up become poor again because they not own the business nor system.

Getting rich is very hard, what we see on social medias are mostly upper middle class who could back to poor if they make mistake in financial decision.

The gap between the rich and the poor is very large that we don’t get to see people turning rich overnight. Even if you give a poor man enough money to feel rich, give him sometime and you’ll see him fall back into the middle class and if care not taken, they’ll end up going back poor again. The system is designed in such a way that the rich gets richer and poor gets poorer.

The middle class try to balance between this two and without a major breakthrough and good financial management, they don’t get to sit in the same place as the rich for long. I think being innovative is not enough to sell your ideas to become rich, you also need the rich to also need that idea and they patronize you to get you out of that cluster forever.
