A gambling expert brought i and some friends a guaranteed predicted game and asked us to stake a a high amount so that we winning could be huge and so we can give him a percentage of the money at winning.

I don't believe there could be a 100% guaranteed game but yet my friends who are eager to make profits in the gambling accepted to play the gamed as instructed and at the end of it, they all loosed the game and at then, the rest of us were happy because we didn't play the game else we would had loosed as others.

I want to ask, do you believe in experts gambling predictions?


Just like trading, some people do it more than others. So in gambling, some people are more experienced or lucky than others, so, they could have some winning probabilities than others. But what OP have said above is so different. You don't take randomly predicted matches from anyone with the promise that it will return good.

If you want experts to give you predictions, there should be some kinds of aggrements on that. Maybe if he sends 12 matches in a week, if you are not able to win 6, he will refund your capital and if you win 6 and above, you will give him some percentage of your wins. Do not just waste money anyone please.

Two candidates visited my office two days ago to submit their applications for the position of a health assistant. I had the honor of taking part in the interviews with them.After the interview, the candidate did very well, but the CMD chose to hire the male candidate because of his physical strength and height as the best contender for the position.He didn't even give the female applicant a chance to demonstrate her qualifications.What do you think about this?
What I think is that you should have asked your CMD the reason he didn't hire the female candidates for the job and not us who has no idea of the job descriptions or specifications. I think there's no gender discrepancy in that scenario. The CMD must have observed something you didn't observe, maybe you were probably looking at the buts and boobs of the female candidates.

If there girls were more qualified, they would have been hired. And if the job opening was only for male, they wouldn't have been asked to apply. When you become a CMD, you may understand better. But if you insist you want to get the community honest reactions, let's know the job specifications of that position. Did this story actually happened? Maybe a made up story as usual.

In my country, life is actually mixed and many people do different kinds of things to survive.
  • There are government workers who work 5 days in a week and 5 to 7 hrs a day. This set of people do not suffer much because they do not receive tough supervision from the government
  • There are private workers who work 6 days out of the 7 days and possibly they work the whole 7 days and they work 10 hours a day. Some of the workers are over used because the labour protection policies do not work 
  • We have the business people who work tirelessly in different markets, shops and streets
  • There are agberos who have no work but they earn by crooks or any way possible 
My country is Nigeria.

Hmm... Arsenal are still quite silent in the transfer window. We have already got past the first half of January. They won't have a long time to finish the deals in their mind if they wait longer.

I wonder why Arteta is still waiting in fact.  Huh  Because he looked quite keen on making some signings in this month. Maybe a move for Serhou Guirassy? I think that it might be possible. Because he has a release clause worth only 17.5 million € now. If they have a more effective scorer like him they can be more assertive for the title race as well. But let's see what goes around Arteta's mind in the coming days.
I do not actually think that Arsenal should hastily enter into the January transfer window. Arsenal has some pretty kind of players that are able to deliver them this season, if not for some kind of unprecedented injuries, these guys we are fully ready for this season. I only blame their head coach for not easily reintegrating the injured players into the team. Some of the players who has been absent are full of experience and they have the winning mentality. The best thing to do is that when such players with winning mentality are injured, you have no option than to let them recover but immediately they recover and fit to play again you quickly reintegrate them into the team in order to return to the winning track. Lately, Arsenal has been struggling more than expected and if they continue so, it will be so difficult for them to make the top four.

We should not also forget that in the last transfer window, Arsenal is among the club that made the most significant signings in the market. So they need to be examin what they players they bought have brought to the team before they will buy more, because this is business no matter whichever way you see it from.

Mourinho has left his job at Roma. Maybe Mourinho can return to Chelsea one more time and make things right. His second adventure at Chelsea was not so good, but he is the best manager in Chelsea's history. I think he should take charge of Chelsea once again and try to bring Chelsea back to the old days. They spend money on transfers but they don't have someone who can manage the team. I think Mourinho could be the right person for them.
I don’t think Mourinho will be returning to Chelsea. They really do not deserve him. There are speculations Newcastle are interested in Mourinho as manager, I would like to see that happen. I believe that could be the game changer Newcastle needs to become a better contender for the league title. Jose Mourinho has a track record of success, he’s been able to perform miracles in his career. I think people forget how he become the special one. IMO Roma shouldn’t have sacked Mourinho, no manager could have done a better job with that team. Pep Guardiola won the award for best manager yesterday, but Mourinho is one who also deserves that recognition in my opinion. If Pep was given the same team Mourinho managed in Roma, I doubt he will be able to get a better result.
One thing I like about mourinho's career is that he has never lost even if he is sacked by any club. That man and his manager, his personal manager I meant is very intelligent and I do not understand the kind of contract that he signs always that makes to always get compensated. I would like to know how much Roma will have to compensate him this time around.

As for the club he will go, that is not a problem because many clubs will definitely be after the chosen one abi na the special one. Whether we like it or not, Jose is a joy to watch in any league that he finds himself and the most important thing is that he is a father figure.

As long as I was losing, the account was in operation and I was depositing new funds every day, until the moment I started winnig.
Typical operation of a scam casino. How did you find 1xbit? Because this casino has very bad reputation for scamming their gamblers. Many scam accusations are not resolved and the casino just ignored these gamblers as if all is well in their business. If only you did your research before playing, you'll not going to fall victim. Anyway, there's no chance to get back your winnings or even your deposit so unfortunately just move on. It's a lesson learned the hard way.
There was actually a time that it got to I started blaming those people that loses money and the 1xbit website. The reason why I blame them is because they do not research at all about the scam company. If they did a little research on Google using the following domain extension, will understand that almost all day results you will get from the search engine will be about 1xbit being a scam casino. Maybe they have just seen their signature and promise of many games and winning free 7 BTC, this could be the reason that they gave in easily.

One dangerous thing about 1xbit is that they were scam selecting. When a scam is a selective scam it puts confusion among the community members because some group of people will be claiming that they are scammed while others would say that they are not scammed. This is the reason why exit scam is better than selective scam.
367  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Have you ever regretted selling your bitcoins ? on: January 16, 2024, 10:13:57 PM
Regretting selling one's bitcoin is something that everybody must do at a particular time. But what I always advise people is that those that sold their bitcoin earlier who did so because they were urgently in need of funds have nothing to regret because it has helped to solve their problem at that particular time. I only blame those who just sold and did not use the money for any important thing because they really do not need such money at that time.

But the most painful aspect of it is when you own bitcoin but do not actually have access to it. Which means you cannot recover it or do not even remember the platform where you will save the Bitcoin. This is exactly the case of many people while others still see their past transaction, on how they lost their bitcoins to scammers and Ponzi schemers.

So my question is this, can we proudly tell people that we're Bitcoiners? And even if we do how can they be convinced that we're doing genuine work online since the society sees most people earning from online as fraudsters (Yahoo boys).
There was a day that I asked myself this question. I checked my life and it is similar with the life of the yahoo boys because I do not work in a physical shop and again I earn online. If you search my phone you will see multiple wallets like an aza man. If you also search my phone you will see VPNs just like the yahoo guys have. Even my appearance sometimes make people think I am into yahoo. Once you are a young guy and you are fresh and maybe has a good phone in your hand, you are a yahoo person. That's the standard they have Kept here. That is why if I go to boutique to buy clothes, I will first tell them to give me the normal price that I am not a yahoo person.

My advice is that, if you don't do yahoo but you are only a Bitcoin, don't have any cockroach in your cupboard.

If Kevin De Bruyne can now get enough practice, it will also have a deep impact on Manchester City's game. It's impossible to replace someone like him, let alone when he is at his optimum and then gets an injury. He scored a very important goal against Newcastle now and this could give him some valuable momentum for the next few weeks. Haaland benefits a lot from a well playing De Bruyne.

Now Manchester City has one more difficult game against Tottenham in the FA Cup. The next six weeks will be exciting for them and I hope they can keep everyone on board and nobody gets ruled out due to injuries.
Kevin De Bruyne has returned to training and has been given enough time to continue training because he was absent for quite a long time and he has shown that his potential is still good enough for Manchester City and we can see him in his debut this season after suffering an injury even though he doesn't play full time and he is only a substitute player but he has created 1 goal and 2 assists so far and the goal against Newcastle is proof that Kevin De Bruyne is still in good condition, even though he has just recovered from injury.

I think Manchester City can win this match because Tottenham Hotspur condition is not very stable, even though they have to play an away match but if Kevin De Bruyne is there it will not be difficult for Manchester City and it is very likely that Manchester City is the favorite to win this FA Cup match.
This is European Champions League thread, so I did not understand where the discussion of Manchester City and Tottenham is coming from.

However, lending my voice to the existing conversation will have me say that KDB is a very special breed in football. If I say that he is absolutely irreplaceable I am not exaggerating another appointment. I have seen people that we are injured for few months and it will take them another few months for them to return to their original form. But it took Kevin just a few minutes to record a goal and do assist after a whooping 5 months of absenteeism. It is only a class that can do that. That is even another warning to everything including Copenhagen which will be facing Manchester City. The heart of the team is back and we should expect that Haaland's hat-trick should be back as well
371  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: January 15, 2024, 08:29:05 AM
Despite the quality and world class players in the squad of the Nigeria Super Eagles, they still couldn't beat Equatorial Guinea in their opening match of the tournament on Sunday and that I think was caused by the poor tactical approach of their head coach José Peseiro. The Portuguese manager appears clueless and probably doesn't know what to do to change the playing pattern of his team even when they're struggling in such an important game.

But another shocking result was Ghana's defeat to Cape Verde and if things continue this way, then an underdog might win this edition of the CAF African Cup Of Nations

Nigeria disappointed us in this match, because at first I was confident that Nigeria would win and I placed a bet in this match but in the end Nigeria was only able to play a draw really unexpected. Honestly, after seeing this match I have ignored Nigeria as a champion candidate their abilities are far different from a few years ago I mean they have decreased in performance. Nigeria did dominate in a shot but there was only one goal the problem is bad accuracy Nigeria should be able to score 3 goals based on opportunities including Osimhen who got 2 good opportunities.
I am very much aware that many people would be disappointed in this season's African cup of Nations competition. The reason why people will be disappointed is because they have forgotten that Africa have their style of play, since some of the players that are coming to this AFCON is based in Europe and have adopted the European method of football it will be difficult for them to adapt in this African cup of Nations. What do I mean in essence, Africa is known for strength and it is that type of football that will prevail in ivory coast. Anyone that goes with skills or any type of foreign play style will not be successful in this years African cup of Nations. This is the reason Nigeria and Ghana which came with many foreign players could not win their first leg. For the case of Nigeria if our coach is not able to fix his midfield he could possibly be eliminated from the group stage. Will actually be a shameful thing to parade a team that has African best player and some other world class players and yet crash out of the group stage.
372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: January 15, 2024, 08:06:17 AM
Aston Villa missed a big chance to hold a good lead over their rivals but playing out a no Goal draw to Everton today, I think this wasn't an easy match but I still expected Aston Villa to beat Everton seeing how both teams has played this season I had my money on Everton to win but this is football, now this gives Manchester city and Arsenal a bigger push to take advantage of this slip up.

I think Aston Villa major issue this period would be consistency, they have been good so far this season but they still have to make it to the finish line in the same manner.

I honestly expected Aston Villa to actually win against Everton. After all Aston Villa is really fighting to stay as much at the top as possible. Meanwhile, Everton is literally fighting to stay out of the relegation zone. So, I thought Aston Villa was going to win this match pretty easily. But of course, I was wrong. Though I have to say Aston Villa was able to dominate the match. However, they were not able to win. I also think that this might very well be the start of their inconsistency. Not unexpected for them to be really consistent. But I honestly did think that probably they will be able to bring in really good results. Which is still definitely possible. But not if they are inconsistent.
Although, we are have underrated Everton this season because of their place in the English Premier League table this season. Assuming Everton was not penalized by reduction of points would have given them more emphasis during our discussion of the English Premier League and of course the media would have hailed them enough. I can confidently say that Everton's  performance in this season is quite better than their performance is the past 3 to 4 seasons. But one sad reality about their performance this season is that they are still fighting to escape relegation.

Apart from what I have said above, Everton has also been known as a team that gives surprise draw on winning when it is not expected. So it was not fair to write everything off against Aston Villa. In as much as Aston Villa has been in a very good form this season that does not automatically make them addictive and the English Premier League. I am even more confident that Aston Villa will slide off their top four position any moment from now only if other things are ready to overtake them. In a nutshell, the Everton versus Aston Villa results was not a surprise to me because I expected it.

The forum would grow tired of topics like this much sooner than the world would grow tired of the US dollar. Perhaps people would grow tired of fiat currency first before they would grow tired of the US dollar.
The forum would definitely grow tired of such topics like this, just as people will not grow tired of the US dollar. While the forum members will always post on threads as this, some are sincerely posting to learn and share knowledge, while some are just posting to complete their campaign quota.

In the other hand, as people are preparing to quit the US dollar, US is strategizing how to make their fiat to continue to dominate. In as much as the world politics is concerned, their must be a leading power and leading currency, US will be this for so long.

We have often seen youngsters are more open towards crypto and adapting it wherein the older generation like the ones who are in their 40s and above are reluctant towards crypto and often term it as bubble or scam though they know that it's not a scam. Is it out of jealousy that they couldn't onboard into crypto at the right time hence bad mouthing it or else just that they are not ready to accept something knew as kids are becoming millionaire with crypto which was never case with any other asset hence this looks too good to be true for them.

Note: I am not saying everyone above 40 years are reluctant but it's just my experience and it might be related to certain geographical location or certain set of people. I am not generalizing it but share my experience. 
When the old people say that crypto is a scam or about to burst bubbles, they are not outrightly wrong. Some of the old people do not joke around with their hard earned money, so they are very skeptical of the investment they venture into. In the actual sense, most of the coins we see in the cryptocurrency industry are scam coins. Yes, they are. It is only Bitcoin and a few other coins that are real. So, when making your analysis, ensure you are coin specific.

Talking about the age factor you noted in OP. The younger generation are so much in a haste to become millionaires while the old ones are not much moved because they have tasted money in one way or the other.
375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 11, 2024, 02:26:08 PM
On papers all looking easy for the Manchester City, but real time action is going to happen on 14th February at Parken Stadium last time we have encounter between these two sides which ended without having any goal and frustrated Manchester City have to share points with Copenhagen now what happen in this knock out round is surely looking good but still anything can happen because all teams are doing their best for staying into competition and Copenhagen is also trying to keep things at the top after having surprising promotion from group stage.

Manchester City which was missing their few key players now having good time and things can give them good advantage with first leg match is also still have nearly one month which mean they will be in better shape and surely going to have good booster for another double which is not easy this time.
In the knockout round, all teams will play all out, but in reality, if you look at the quality, of course the Manchester City team is much stronger in all aspects, so their percentage of being able to advance to the next round is much greater, even though in football it is possible for surprises to occur, but I think that's a pretty small percentage.
We all understand that the Manchester city of last season that won the Champions League is not the Manchester City we are seeing now. Although there is no much difference between the Manchester city of last season and the Manchester city of this season. What I am trying to say is that the Manchester City of last season is somewhat better than the Manchester city of this season. Apart from the transfer of some good players like Gundigun and Mahrez, we still understand that a player like KDB has been absent from the Citizens squad. These things that I am noting will only affect Manchester City when they face a bigger club in the semi-finals and not against Copenhagen. Whenever or not Manchester City is inform, Copenhagen cannot eliminate them in the Champions League.
376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 11, 2024, 01:50:24 PM
I don't think it was a big surprise for Liverpool to win, it was quite deserved regardless of how they achieved it and whatever happened in the match because the most important thing is the final result.
The point is that the final result of last night's match was that Liverpool put up less than complete resistance even though their main target was to win the Premier League this season, even though this match was not really expected by Liverpool, at least the two clubs were able to provide an exciting spectacle for all their respective supporters. .
When we talk about a particular club being focused to win a major trophy and give little or no attention to the other trophies, they do not actually do it willingly or making it to be too obvious. Even if Liverpool for instance or Manchester City gives less attention to cup such as EFL, this does not mean that they will be unserious and purposely crash out of the competition. What this means is that they would only play their second 11 and if the opponent does not put good amount of pressure they will still win the match and move on to win the whole trophy title.

In a normal circumstance, every club would definitely want to win all the trophies available in that season. However, every club will have their priority but this does not mean that they will totally not be interested in a particular trophy. That is actually what happened to Liverpool. They were initially not interested but later they became interested and won the match.
377  Economy / Speculation / Re: ETF will probably not approved yet, so BTC and the others crypto will go down !! on: January 11, 2024, 12:36:10 PM
Well I hope you are not right about that. I think we are all waiting for the approval and think there will be big gains when this does happen.
New survey shows 88% of financial advisors expressed interest in acquiring BTC after approval. That is alot of money to come into the market.
https://www.fxstreet.com/cryptocurrencies/news/bitwise-survey-almost-90-of-financial-advisors-plan-to-buy-bitcoin-post-spot-btc-etf-approvals-202401042100
I expect a great deal of those advisors to take long positions on bitcoin way before an ETF approval, because if they were to really wait until the SEC gave the green light, by the time they bought the amount of bitcoin they needed the price would have gone up significantly already, and in fact it can be said that the current upward movement that started back at the end of October of the previous year can be attributed to the rumors of a bitcoin ETF approval being imminent.
The ETF approval was done today and you can read on some other threads in th bitcoin discussion board where the thread that announced the ETF approval was made and already in the news so let see what impacts the bitcoin ETF approval will be on the market is the days roll by, this approval have been waited for quite a while now and even though when the sec gave the green light the approvals is going to come in January 2024 many did not believe that and for sure it was a great news when I saw that thread some hours ago.

Just take a look at the news on check the thread to get more updates and I am sure that thread will be at the top of the board since the discussion will attract alot of attention since this is what we have being looking forward to see.
Whether ETF is approved or not, there will always be bitcoin. There has been Bitcoin before the ETF approval news came up. Even if the approval fails, the bitcoin price will just dip and still rise again because there is bull run. From all indications ETF will be approved and if not approved already.

@Wiwo, did you say that ETF bitcoin is approved already? Where is the thread or the link?
378  Economy / Speculation / Re: will the btc price reach 100k ? on: January 11, 2024, 12:18:38 PM
Actually for bitcoin price reach to $100k possibilities YES or NOT, current bitcoin price around $43k need more than 120% moving up to raise $100k and its not easily because gap with current price very far away. Many people said nothing impossible with cryptocurrency but realistic bitcoin can't raise up more than 100% in short time and need progress year by year before raising to $100k. I doubt with bitcoin will raise to $100k in short time but not pessimistic with bitcoin price will make new all time high price in the future but take about three or five years later.

Not problem for any one have dreaming bitcoin will bounce to $100k one day later but you must save free money for bitcoin investment and have enough patience waiting more longer time.
OP, did not say the time frame under discussion. Bitcoin will definitely hit $100k this year or next year if everything plays out as it ought to be . Things playing out I meant are the halving bull run and also the ETF bitcoin. If the bull run is set, 120% in few months is not difficult. The market has always been in the green trend. As I write, Bitcoin is above $47k which means a little shift will take us to $50k. If we can actually touch $50k before the main bull run, it simply means that attaining a new ATH will not be difficult and $100k from $70k will not be a difficult task to achieve.

In a nutshell, $100k is very much possible this year or at most by next year if everything works good.
