1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: June 13, 2025, 09:42:07 PM
I think the reason why Manchester city performance declined this season is because of some injuries their players were experiencing, especially their key players, De Bruyne and Rodri. If these two key players had been fit throughout the season, Manchester City form would have been better than how they performed this season, and they may have likely won the Premier League again.
I know that injury really affected Manchester city, and that’s the cause of the decline in their performance, a club that won the premier league for 3 seasons, then the same club was struggling to qualify for the champions league. De Bruyne and Rodri absence really affected Manchester city last season, but now that Manchester city didn’t renew De Bruyne’s contract, I think his absence is going to affect Manchester City next season also. Even as we can see that he is old already, he still has great impact in Manchester city’s performance.

With the new additional merits source and high merit cycling on the board now, I expected a lot of accounts to be active and alot of topics to be created in an attempt to fish merits ( few individuals) so I'm not surprised at the recent increase in activities and some spam. I'm cleaning them.
Am not in support of spamming, but na make dis our local board Dey active na Wetin all of us Dey look for be that now. If nobody Dey post for d local board again, even you wey be moderator, Wetin you wan Dey moderate for here? E no go make sense say na when we come get more merit source na when people no come Dey post for local board again.

As we Dey request for merit source, if theymos See say activities no really Dey our local board, den him no go give more merit source now, and Wetin all of us Dey find for our local board na make e Dey grow, make we Dey enjoy privilege wey other local board Dey enjoy also.

You Dey talk about merit fishing, if you see how other local board Dey share merits give each other, you go see say even if e Dey happen for here, we still Dey learn work. No be say I Dey support merit recycling, but at least make people wey be merit source Dey support, and if you wey be moderator Dey move posts go off topic or delete posts, make you Dey check them well first, some posts might not be useful to you, but will be useful to others.
4  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How I made more than thousand from an airdrop on: June 13, 2025, 06:16:07 PM
Once again, an airdrop has finally made myself and a friend rich, proving that it's one of the aspects of Web3 that people should take seriously. A couple of months ago, I was discouraged from yapping airdrop that is basically Defi asset, but i didn't answer as i went on with $HOME, with some saying it might not list and would be a waste of time. But I kept at it, and today is the day my hard work on X paid off. I was allocated a significant amount, and it is getting listed on CEXs, netting me over thousand dollars. I'm definitely depositing half of my allocation on CEXs with the highest potential for more opportunities and staking the remaining ones.
Your friend might be lucky, we have really passed the era of airdrops, but that doesn’t mean some airdrop won’t still be paying, but just few airdrop are paying right now, and it’s always so difficult to even know the one that’s going to pay reasonable amount of money.

I have once participated in airdrops before, and I made some good amount of money during that period, I have to stop participating in all those airdrops at some points because I notice it’s no longer paying. You can participate in let me say 20 different airdrops, and maybe 5 will pay and other will end up being a scam, and the 5 which paid, what you will be getting if all are combined might not even be more than $20, so it doesn’t even worth it.

But even as airdrops are no longer paying, if you participate in different ones, then you might end up being lucky, and one will pay some amount of money at the end, but I will say it doesn’t worth the stress, but if you think you can do it, then it’s fine, and if you still participating in airdrops, then don’t give up, you might be lucky one day, but for me have given up already.

I agree, manchester city had a disappointing season
Pep Guardiola has done badly this season, we don't know all the reasons behind it, but after so many years that he has done well if a season doesn't go very well there's no point in crucifying him, let's wait and see what happens
Manchester city performance was poor, I was surprised to see a performance like that from a team like Manchester city, Pep Guardiola did everything possible to improve the teams performance, but things didn’t really work out the way he wanted, at the middle of the season, I wasn’t even confident that Manchester City will be qualifying for the champions league, because they were just struggling to stay in the top 5 position on the table, but towards the ending of the season, their was little improvement in their performance, and they ended the season in 3rd position.

Pep Guardiola is currently serious signing players which they believe it’s going to improve their performance, next season will be a interesting season, all teams are currently busy searching and signing players that will improve their teams performance, but am expecting improvement in Manchester City’s performance by next season.

even if it is not fresh news it seems that Kevin DeBruine will arrive at Napoli, these are the words of Fabrizio Romano: "De Bruyne is about to complete his transfer to Napoli! The contracts have been approved", I think he is a very strong player and that Napoli has finally got what was missing to become a top club
It’s really a great signing for Napoli, even as we can see that De Bruyne is already old, but his performance is still good, am sure De Bruyne will perform well at Napoli and the teams performance is going to improve. I was really against De Bruyne joining Napoli, not because of his age, but because he is already old, since he received offer from Saudi league with a very good pay, I was thinking he will be going to Saudi league just to relax and retire from football, but as we can see De Bruyne ignore the offer which the Saudi league gave him, and decided to join Napoli.

I recently view this post from a facebook user about gambling story. I rarely find a gambling story post since I didn’t view gambling stuff on facebook so I became curious.

Here’s the content.

A man in Uganda secretly took $10,000 from his girlfriend to place a high stakes bet, and won a staggering $100 million. He returned her original $10K, thinking the matter was settled. But she was anything but satisfied, now demanding $40 million of the jackpot, citing betrayal and her “investment.”

Will you share the profit the way your girlfriend demanded it or split it the way the man thinks right which is just returning the money.

Remember that if he lose the money, he will just give it back again secretly since there’s no consent for gambling.

If only this man shut his mouth right?  Cheesy
I don’t see anything difficult here, the guy should just return the exact amount of money which he took from his girlfriend, then he can just decide to add any amount of which he want, but it’s not a must for him to give the girlfriend any specific amount of money, and the girlfriend doesn’t have any right to request for the money to be shared among them, because if he loses the money, then the girlfriend will request for refund.

I see no reason why the girl should even request for any specific amount of money, and the guy shouldn’t even give her the $40 million that she requested for. Since the guy has returned the $10k, then the woman can decide to go and gamble with it to see if it’s easy to win. The guy really took a lot of risk, and he was lucky, because if he didn’t win, then it’s won’t have been funny.

Investing your emergency funds looks a bit new to me, ordinarily i was thinking it was cash reserve you can fall back on hence there is real emergency, but investing in gold that is still prone to heavy market instability shouldn't be seen as emergency funds, in my own view, if it gets to the point you would have to put your emergency funds in gold reserve as an investment, why not just empty everything into your bitcoin investment at once since it's already looking like the emergency funds can be invested.
Why are you calling it emergency funds when you know you still going to invest in money in other things? Either gold or other investment, don’t invest your emergency funds in them, because if their is an emergency case, you are going to regret why you decided to invest the money which is suppose to be used in taking care of any emergency when the need arises. If you decide to invest your emergency funds in bitcoin or other coins, when you need the money, then you might be selling at lose because you won’t really have choice at that moment than to sell even if you are in big loss. My emergency funds are always in my local currency, and it’s always in my bank account.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Signs of an irresponsible gambling parents. on: June 10, 2025, 03:26:47 PM
Let's not be quick to judgement because this can be a challenge from anyone else, though it's not an excuse for any parent to take their children to a gambling station, some people we're actually living in hardships and can't afford to earn a living, but have seen gambling a what makes them not to consider their living standard and conditions, which I see as not a bad idea, seing women gamble, except for the children taken there.
I might sound somehow but is gambling a activity to eliminate hardship? If you are facing difficulties in life, then I don’t think the next thing which the person is suppose to think about is gambling, if you are gambling just because you want to earn a living from it, then you might end up being addicted to gambling. When you are gambling you won’t always win, just imagine that you depend on gambling for survival, and for two days you didn’t win, then you will be desperate which might end up leading you to things that you are not even suppose to do.

I felt bad when I saw the picture, the person gambling is even a woman, I don’t really know what she is going through, but whatsoever she is going through, then she should know that gambling is not an option, because the little which she is having left which is suppose to be used for other important things, then she might end up spending it on gambling without winning. Gambling is suppose to be for entertainment, and not poverty elimination scheme.

It is a done deal, Thomas Frank to Brentford, the subtle replacement for Ange Postecoglou.
Do you think it is a wise move from Spurs. Imagine sacking the only managers who gave you a trophy after decades only to bring in a mid-class manager who always finish in the mid table at Brentford.
Tottenham are really suppose to replace their coach, postecoglou performance was so poor, he was able to win the Europa league, but it’s not just about winning a trophy for them alone, if you check Tottenham overall performance, then you will see that they played poorly last season. Tottenham ended the season in a worst position, I just hope the new coach which they sign will be able to change the team’s performance, and Tottenham will have to sign some quality player’s, it’s not all about changing coach, they should sign some players also that will improve the teams performance, sometimes the problem is not always from the coach alone.

Why is winning the Europa League not enough for Tottenham? Tottenham can't win any major titles. Isn't winning the Europa League more honorable than being in the top 7/8 of the points table?
I agree with you that Tottenham can’t really win any major trophy right now, and winning the Europa league is really a great achievement, but don’t you see the position which Tottenham ended the season on the premier league table? They ended the season in 17th position, that’s really terrible, they can win the Europa league title, and still end the season in a better position.

Tottenham were just lucky to avoid relegation, just imagine how embarrassing and shameful it’s going to be for a team like Tottenham to be relegated, if Tottenham management doesn’t make changes in the team, then I don’t think they will be able to achieve anything by next season, and might still end the season at the bottom of the table.
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how do you reward yourself when you win? on: June 09, 2025, 06:30:06 PM
Although most of the time we end up losing, there are those moments when we actually win big, and of course, that feels great!
I’m just curious, since we all have different ways of enjoying our wins, let’s talk about the positive side of gambling for a change, which is winning.

So, how do you guys spend your winnings? Don’t worry, feel free to be honest - after all, it’s your money, so it’s your right to spend it however you want.
When I win from gambling, firstly I do take care of the necessary things which am suppose to take care at that particular moment, then after that I will flex the amount which am having left, but sometimes after winning from gambling, I do decide to invest some amount of money from my win, but whenever I win, am always having some amount of money which I will use to relax with my family members or friends, so the amount that I win will determine how I will spend the money, but I don’t always win big because I don’t gamble with big amount of money.
15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will people continue to use crypto if outlawed? on: June 08, 2025, 07:43:44 PM
In countries where crypto is "banned" (illegal for mainstream use), do you think people will still use it?
The formal government didn’t just ban bitcoin directly in my country, but I will call what he did as a ban because he instructed the central bank of my country to lock all accounts that has history of crypto transactions, so he banned crypto indirectly, but the current government lifted the ban since their is a change in government.

When the central banks were locking accounts, people were so careful then, but even as people were not making transactions with bitcoin, lots of people were still accumulating coins then, even as it was done hidden, and when the central banks were locking accounts, bitcoin awareness was just increasing, and even people that don’t know about bitcoin before started knowing about it, and some people started doing more research about bitcoin, and they were investing.

Even if the government bans crypto, people will still be accumulating coins hidden, because they know the government is against bitcoin just for their own selfish interest, and there is nothing more.

Presently now sport betting na one of the means wah guys Dy use survive for the country as things hard for the country but the way the games Dy cut eh even the red app no Dy try
Normally gambling no be something wey we suppose Dey do for survival, but I no go lie you, plenty people now for dis country depend on gambling for survival wey no make sense, but na unemployment wey no Dey dis country na Wetin Dey cause things like that, work no Dey, and people know say dem fit Dey get small small money from gambling.

Even people wey get work, most of them are underpaid, money wey dem Dey receive no Dey fit do anything again, so dem Dey look for alternative ways to get money wey dem go Dey use solve problem, so some of them Dey go into gambling, but e no really make sense, because gambling is suppose to be for fun, and you no suppose carry am as sources of income.

Plenty people wey Dey believe say dem fit make money from gambling do end up being addicted to gambling, if some of them no get money to gamble at that time, you go see dem Dey sell their properties just because dem Dey find money wey dem go use gamble.

Hilal has increased its offer for Osimhen from 30 million a year to the 45 million a year. Osimhen will receive 850k weekly, and it's such insane wage for a football player. I see no reason for him to reject such offer. The better he goes to saudi instead of always being confused with his future.

Not all of football player can get this opportunity. So he can retire even at the 35 years old.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
That amount of money that Saudi league is offering Osimhen is really much, and it’s going to be difficult for any player to reject offer like that, but if I will be serious, then a player like Osimhen should reject the offer, Osimhen is a talented player, and he is currently at the top, if he joins Saudi pro league, then his career is going to die, I know everyone really needs money, but Osimhen should focus on his career first and forget about money for now, if Osimhen can join Saudi league, am sure with time no one will even be hearing about him. Most players are always taking Saudi league as retirement league, thats where they go when they want to retire from football, which is what I think Osimhen should do also.

Yes, you can share ideas with people about crypto but don't tell them your seed phrases and your password that Link to your wallets, once you share your secrets that make your personal details safe, it will no longer be safe anymore because you have shared your personal details with people, and they can have access to your coins any time, I hope beginners will take this advice serious.
If we don’t share bitcoin awareness, then it doesn’t make sense because their are people that really want to learn about bitcoin, so we are suppose to share our knowledge.

Why do you have to share your crypto seed phrase, your password and other confidential informations with people? If you are teaching anyone about bitcoin, then you should have a wallet that you have nothing in it, you can just create a new wallet, and use it to explain to anyone you are planning to teach about bitcoin. You should never show anyone you teaching about bitcoin your real wallet, they are not suppose to know what you worth because you can’t trust anyone, someone you are planning to help might want to hurt you, so  don’t show anyone your really investment.

You yourself admit that the coach that Manchester United has is very good and that means the problem is with a number of players that they have.
Manchester United current coach haven’t shown any brilliant performance yet, he joined Manchester United when the league was still early last season, but as we can see Manchester United performance didn’t improve even after Amorim joined them, so we can’t completely say Amorim is a good coach. He was performing well when he was in his previous club, but since he joined Manchester United, he hasn’t shown any sign of a good coach.

I know there are some players that are suppose to leave Manchester United, Amorim is having time to reshuffle the team, he has time to sell, and sign new players that he want, so by next season if Manchester United doesn’t perform well, then their won’t be any excuse for Amorim, because he has been given opportunity also.
20  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: China banned bitcoin, Again? on: June 07, 2025, 01:49:57 PM
I saw this news on the Altcoinstalk and searched whether this is true, and yes, it looks like every news media outlet posted an article that claims China banned crypto trading, holding, and mining from 31st May 2025. Yet, there is no government ruling that states it is illegal, just like they always do but what's gonna be the impact on the bitcoin now, and it's not just the price perspective.
I don’t really know how real the news is, but I will say we are already use to china banning bitcoin, if bitcoin is banned by china again, I don’t think it’s even going to affect bitcoin price, because we are already use to it, and most people already knows the truth. Time will come when the government won’t have choice than to accept bitcoin, I don’t really know the problem which the china government, but am sure they won’t have choice than to accept bitcoin later in the future. We shouldn’t even panic about what the china government is doing currently, they won’t have choice than to accept bitcoin later in the future.
