Liverpool can still lead the standings if they can win their next match against Brighton. Manchester City might be able to win the match against Arsenal, but that will not make Liverpool drop to second place because the points gap is still 1 point.
Nobody knows the club that will be in first position, maybe Arsenal will be able to maintain the first position, nobody knows. Liverpool match against Brighton might not really be a difficult one for Liverpool, so Liverpool might be able to get 3 points in the match, but no one can predict Arsenal match against Manchester City, the two teams are really dangerous clubs and they both need the match, and as we can see either Manchester City or Arsenal shouldn’t be underestimated, and from the way the two clubs have been playing, the match will be kind of just difficult to predict.
182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club on: March 20, 2024, 07:36:52 PM
Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool  that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
Seriously i will never take that kind of risk, even if am Manchester United fans. Seriously I lost money on the bet because even before the match started, I had confidence that Liverpool will win the match, so I placed bet that Liverpool was going to win, I never expected Manchester United to play incredibly well in the match. Whenever am gambling even when am confident about the bet, I don’t gamble on it beyond my limit, I can’t risk the amount which if I lose it’s going to affect me, your friend was lucky things went well for him, but he should know that he won’t be lucky always, and the risk which he took was just too much, no one believed Manchester United will win the match.

👉how do you feel when peopel ask you for money to gamble?, do you gamble with debt?  Or would you never indulge in such no matter how sure you are about the game ?
If you ask me for money for something reasonable, if am having then I will give, but if you ask me for money to gamble, then I will never give. It doesn’t make sense to me, if you don’t have money to gamble, then don’t gobble, you shouldn’t go to the length of asking people to give you money to gamble, it doesn’t make any sense to me. When you don’t have money to gamble, then stay away from gambling.

👉Do you set rules or limits on how much you stake per week to control your addiction or you are disciplinedenough to know when to stop?
Sure I have the amount of money which I gamble with weekly, immediately I exceed my limit, then I will have to stop gambling for that particular week. If you don’t discipline yourself when gambling, then you will end up turning to an addicted gambler without you even knowing.

👉behind the mask of loving to gamble if you get rich would you still gamble or never again?
Na matter how rich I am, I will keep on gambling, because gambling is not either for the rich or poor, and am not the type that gamble just for the sake of money, I gamble for fun, so even when am rich, I will keep on gambling whenever am bored and I want to feel relaxed.

Hi guys,

It took a while to gather the guts to do this.. First of all, I am not asking for donations or charity but for a chance to change my future. I had been wanting to own bitcoin or any other coin but I can't afford it. So, if you want to give a hand to a crypto noob, any amount from 0.0000000000000000000000001 btc would be greatly appreciated. I am grateful for taking the time reading this.

God bless us all!

My address bc1q0a8ngezqgd6uuje663q9p2anseu2svsd5jn0n9

Are you really serious about this post? What you just did is donation and charity, but I love this forum, nobody is going to give you anything, your account will end up being compromised. If you want a better future for yourself, then get yourself a better job and work, you will be able to save and invest in bitcoin. You can’t just come here and beg for money, and you think anyone is going to give you anything, and you have already violated the rules of the forum, because you are not suppose to beg for money here, which you just did, so you are going to be punish. The forum is a public place which you are suppose to learn, and not a place which you should beg for money.

Hello users, I was registered today and I don't seem to find my way around the forum because everything is confusing to me
When you are in rush to learn everything about the forum, you will end up being confused, but just try and navigate through the forum gradually, the more time spent here, the more you will keep on understanding the forum. Definitely when you join the forum newly you will be confused, but with time you will see that the forum is not a difficult place.

I see a lot of boards for many countries, should I stick to my national board alone?
You don’t have to stick to only your board, but if you notice that you are learning faster in your local board, then you can be more active there, since it will be easier for you to learn in your local language, but that shouldn’t stop you from posting in other sections, there are things you will learn there, and won’t be in your local board.

There are rules and regulations guiding the forum, so you can just go to different sections to check them out, and make sure you don’t go against any of the rules because you will be punished for that.
187  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Is meme risk worth the reward? on: March 17, 2024, 06:29:46 PM
1.How do you spot these memecoins quickly?
Me I no dey invest in meme coin, but if me self see better one wey I go get mad cashout I fit leave like small money inside am ooo, but the most surprising be say, how people dey take spot all those meme coins at the early stage, e still dey suprise me ooo, or is it that people just invest in random meme coins, and whenever they are lucky, like one of the meme coin go just pump madly and they go cash out.

3. Is the reward worth more than the risk?
If you are investing in meme coins, the best think na to invest just little amount of money, like me now if I wan invest for meme coin I no go invest pass 5,000 naira to 20,000 naira be the amount wey I fit leave for meme coins, I will hardly invest even 20,000 naira, but if I lose the money, I know say e no go even affect me in any way.
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which player are you? on: March 17, 2024, 05:41:08 PM
Do you prefer games where you know right away whether you've won (or lost) casino style, or do you prefer other games like sports betting? Do you have any other favorite games?
When I gamble and I know if I win or lose instantly, then I will always find it difficult to stop gambling because I will always keep on gambling, but whenever I place bet, then I will have to wait and see the outcome of the bet, I will stop gambling till I see the result of the initial bet which I placed. Seriously when you are gambling and you know either you win or you lose instantly, then you will tend to gamble more, when you are winning, you will always think it’s your lucky day, and you will keep on gambling, and when you are losing, you will keep on gambling trying to recover your losses, that’s why I just think gambling and knowing if you win or lose instantly can lead to addiction.

190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake on a potential(obvious) loosing team just for love? on: March 16, 2024, 07:40:52 PM
While in a football view centre last night, some of the football fans were arguing with the opposite football fans strongly defending their teams.
Some people are die hard fans of their club, no matter how poor the club is performing, they will keep on supporting the club, even when they notice their club is performing so poorly, they will always look for excuses to justify their poor performance, actually I also do this often, no matter how my club performs poorly, I will always support them in public, but deep down, I do always feel bad, but nobody will know.

I love my team to the core that I will always stand by them and even if it is obvious that they were going to loose a match, I will still bet in support that they would win the match.
Whenever my club is not in form, I do end up gambling on them in some matches, even if I know they are going to lose, I just derive joy by doing that, but I do use just little amount of money to place bets on matches like that, even when I lose, I won’t even feel it.
191  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Am i bad to this friend if i refuse to loan him some money in bad economy on: March 16, 2024, 06:53:22 PM
Someone must know that you're capable of giving them a loan before they'll approach you for it,
Whenever some people notice you are living fine, maybe because they notice you have at least what an average person is suppose to have, then they will decide to approach you to ask for a loan, they don’t even care about how you are surviving. Some people don’t have much money, but they are satisfied with the little which they have, and they don’t go around begging people for money or other things.

Since the loan is not to save a life or make payment for an important emergency situation
If the loan is for emergency sake, then i don’t care selling my bitcoin investment just to help the person, but if what the person will be using the money for is not necessary, then I will apologize to the person that I don’t also have anything with me, I won’t even tell the person that I have invested my money, it doesn’t need any explanation, because after explaining, the person will still see me as bad person.

A draw result is bad not only for Arsenal but for both of them. However, it will be an advantage for Liverpool if Arsenal and Manchester city play draw in their next match.
If Liverpool can win their next match, and Arsenal draw against Manchester City, then Liverpool will be able to take their first position back, so all what Liverpool will want in the match is just a draw, but I have the feelings that the match isn’t going to end as a draw, a club is going to win the match.

City played poorly against Liverpool actually but there's room for improvement and I believe in Guardiola
Guardiola is a smart and talented coach, am sure he already knows the lapses, and am sure the guy will fix all the mistakes before the next match, seriously the match will be a difficult one, because the two teams really want to win the match, and any club that wins the match is already ahead of other clubs, so let’s see how the match goes, but I prefer Manchester city to win the match.

194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling still pays regardless of our losses on: March 15, 2024, 07:56:57 PM
Sad truth,  there are many gamblers that will continue to seek for more instead of quitting and enjoying that small wins
Most people are not satisfied with the little win which they have, they will always want more, and if you keep on gambling and you want to win more, then you will end up losing the little which you have won. When you are gambling, always learn to be satisfied with what you have, don’t be greedy, if you win little amount, just take your profit, and stop gambling for that particular time. Don’t believe anything like winning streak, because whenever their is a winning streak, then expect a lose to break the winning streak and it might be coming when you don’t even expect it. So don’t be too confident whenever you are gambling.
195  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Man bet his life savings on 1 spin of Roulette on: March 15, 2024, 07:40:26 PM
Yeah, most gambling addicts have a sad ending, that is because addicts gamble with what they cannot afford to lose and when they do this often, they are surely going to lose really big and have a very bad or sad ending.
When someone is addicted to gambling, then it means they can’t do without gambling, and they do weird things just for the sake of gambling, as long as someone is addicted to gambling, that means they can’t control their gambling behavior, and they will end up gambling with the amount they can’t afford to lose, and after losing, they will end up trying to win back all their losses, in the process of trying to win back their losses, they will lose more. Most addicted gamblers always end up regretting, and it’s always late by then. They will have sold their properties and gamble with the money, they will have lost everything they have before they do come back to their right senses.

Your savings should never have anything to do with gambling
Why will you even gamble with your savings, it’s not reasonable to be, why will you save money, and at the end you will end up using the money to gamble, that’s crazy to me, but as we all know, addicted gamblers do always do crazy things.
196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 15, 2024, 06:56:42 PM
There is no doubt that Manchester City has a greater chance of beating Arsenal in the next match, Pep Guardiola squad is lucky because they play at the Etihad. Apart from that, in terms of experience, Manchester City are used to heavy pressure and they have proven that they are always able to get out of this pressure.
Let’s see how the match goes, but I wasn’t satisfied with the way Manchester city played their last match against Liverpool. I wasn’t really satisfied with Manchester City performance in the match, Liverpool had lots of opportunities in the match, but they could only convert one into goal, if Manchester City uses the same pattern against Arsenal, then I won’t be surprised if they lose the match. Let’s just see how the match goes, but the match will just be kind of difficult for the two clubs, nobody can predict the winner of the match yet. The two clubs really needs the match, and they will do everything possible to win the match.

The competition for trophies this season is very tight, Liverpool can take advantage of the momentum to top the standings. Arsenal must be able to beat Manchester City if they want a trophy, otherwise they will most likely fail again this season.
Seriously nobody can predict who will be winning the premier league yet, the race title is just very tight, let’s see how Arsenal vs Manchester City match goes, if Arsenal can win the match, then Arsenal is having higher chances of winning the league, but a draw or lose is really bad for Arsenal.
197  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 14, 2024, 08:54:00 PM
btw, is the Manchester United club suitable to be in the top 3? Of course right now it's still not feasible, it's too early and the players are not as serious as Arsenal, Liverpool or Manchester City.
So you mean either Manchester City, Arsenal or Liverpool will drop from top 3 and Manchester United will take over top 3 this season, we all know that’s something that’s impossible, no matter how hard Manchester United tries this season, maybe they will end the season in top 5, am not even expecting them to end the season in top 4 this season, because Manchester United is still inconsistent, don’t be surprised that they will end up losing matches which they are not suppose to lose very soon, so thinking Manchester United can end the season in top 3 is just an impossible dream.

When do you stop?
Some stop gambling immediately the record a big lose, while others continues when they lose with hope of recovering.
Whenever am gambling, and I notice have been losing continuously without any win, then I will stop gambling for that moment, maybe that’s not my lucky day. I won’t keep on gambling trying to win back my loss, because I know that’s going to end up causing more problems for me.  If you are gambling, it’s better you have the mind  of gambling just for fun, if you are gambling for the sake of money, whenever you lose, you will always want to win back your losses, you will find it difficult to stop gambling.

Some other gamblers stop playing when the win they first few games
But just few people will stop gambling whenever they are winning, most of them do say it’s their lucky day, and they will want to utilize the opportunity which they have, and if they continue gambling, they might end up losing everything which they have won before.

1-when you lose?
2- when you win?
When I lose, I stop gambling, and when I win I stop gambling.

Before you invest in trading, invest in yourself first.
I don’t understand, did the OP say he isn’t investing in himself, and I don’t really understand what you mean by invest in yourself? I will like if you can explain the statement better, because the OP never complained that he isn’t doing fine.

Trading has certainly its own process and learning it may take months or even a year before you can say you can be a good trader.
When you are learning how to trade, it’s not something you can learn within a specific period of time, your determination will show if you will be able to learn fast, and trading is not what you read books and you will think you know everything about it already, trading requires constant practicing, and you will always upgrade your trading strategy as a trader, so if you are a trader, then you will never stop learning.
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Get one btc right away or 5 btc with a bet? on: March 12, 2024, 10:00:17 PM
It's not always easy to make the right decisions. Are you a gambler? If you're offered 1 btc without playing or 5 btc by playing (with a chance of 2 to 1). What do you do?
Yes, I am a gambler, and if I am given this kind of offer, then I will be going for 1 BTC without gambling rather than choosing 5 BTC with gambling. I know the risk involved in gambling, and I won’t want to lose everything to gambling. I know the 5 bitcoin is kind of much, and it’s ridiculous to choose 1 bitcoin over 5 bitcoin, but sometimes we don’t have to be greedy, and when taking risks, we should be careful, we shouldn’t take risks blindly, and we should know that when gambling, there is no assurance of winning, anything can happen at any moment, so I can’t just take that risk, I will rather go away with 1 bitcoin than lose the 5 bitcoin later.
