1561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 10, 2023, 09:13:58 PM

Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?

Answers to all these questions you asked are not the reasons because they are subject to the real reason. There is a causative factor that made it less focused on. There are gambling sites and gamblers who gamble on it, there are media houses that cover their activities yet it will not be as population as the male counterparts.

Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors?


Here, the real reason that male football is more watched, followed, engaged or advertised on is male football is the standard that has been placed in football. That is everything thing about the football comes from male football and the female football is a follow up. This means the male football is the standard to be looked upon. It is just like saying, the original version of female football is male football and when spectators look at female football, they don't see what they see in male football which is the standard looked upon. Therefore, it creates a lot of traffic interms of adverts because advertizers know they would regain their from sales. Sponsors know they will generate money from tickets.

It is a circle that creates money from different angles both for gamblers. Not many gamble on female football whilst not or advertizers decide to run adverts on female football or hugely on it because they know the spectators are usually not much compared to the male.

However, this is likely the situation of any male dominated sports and also for female dominated sports because there is the standard set for the games by the sex (man or female) who started it and created the precepts.

For me I still prefer to do holding despite knowing how to trade, since it's more riskier to do trading as you can get liquidated in just seconds, but in the other hand you could also profit quickly. Which I think it's not suitable for me, I would rather do hodling with the DCA method since I'm not the type of person that would analyze and always check the market cause it will drain me. Imagine working,studying and trading, it will literally affect your mental health as well your physical health. Maybe full time trading will be applicable as you can focus on the market.

It is really such a difficult exercise with trading. Your analysis of the whole challenge of the struggle to get a life is funny but seriously that is what it is. Sometimes it seems like 24 hours in a day isn't enough to achieve all you want to do . However, properly planning of time will get you to achieve alot that you want to do. Yes being a student and having time to study can't really allow you to get some other things done. So hodling is more preferred too , the risk of trading is high.
1564  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: October 10, 2023, 04:14:28 PM

Hodling is a term used to describe owning Bitcoin in a wallet especially for a long period of time.


Not only long-term, I think short term too is hodling especially if you are not trading. It is the intention that determines .


While trading on the other hand refers to the selling and buying of Bitcoin through an exchange.
 Both Hodling and trading have some similarities such as ;


P2P also exist. Arbitrage also exist. Not only if you are involved in active trading to be regarded as such.

2. For both trading or hodling to be possible you must own Bitcoin.


I don't think so because you can buy altcoins or stable coins if you want and do whatever you want and convert back to btc. So you must not have access to btc for it.
1565  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Winning Wisely: Strategies to Protect Your Bankroll on: October 10, 2023, 02:57:25 PM
When gambling, we need good self-control so as not to spend too much, and we already know the adage of only using the money we can afford. If you have experienced a losing streak, you should stop because it can affect your emotions. Later, you will not be able to stop before you win. But even though you win, you still lose because if you count everything, you will see that the amount you lose will be greater than the wins you have obtained.
Well, this is not something you can just conclude because because its like a coin with two sides, for some, they indeed might experience a long losing streak but when luck hits, they end up winning an amount of money that is far greater than what ever amount the gambler have spent while losing. at least, I have seen this happen with several gamblers, most especially in slot or casino games when the gambler luckily get a very nice multiplier.


I think the whole difference of gambling continuously whilst having a losing streak and also increase the stake depends on the player and whether they are addict who has enough bankroll to increase his stake. Addicts usually don't focus on their losses at least not when they still have some bankroll to deep in for more multiplier to win back their losses. Does gamblers who focus on their losses are those with low bankroll and the regular gambler. An addict focus is the winning that can come in the midst of losing that is why they don't give up easily but to even increase their stakes to scoop their losses, it is all about target for the addicts.

The people hear no be saint just like some other "good" people don enter politics say make dem go correct certain things but they end up being worse.

Corruption dey kill will power and people become worse than you knew them.

If you are offered 20million naira to start a business or to take a government job that pays 30k monthly, which one will you opt in for considering the economy situation of this country. Let's see your opinion regarding this cause we do see a lot of people craving for government work. We have also seen people been sick for not been employed as government worker.

1569  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: Bitcoin investment and real estate investment, na which one get advantage pass on: October 10, 2023, 09:12:59 AM

Sha, we all can't make the same choices, and I think it all depends on personal goals and likes.I really love real estate, so I can't pick BTC over it. We all know there are lots of gains from owning a land, house, or estate. It's the only asset that doesn't diminish.


No doubt that buying land and properties have long lasting value pass btc but land too dey diminish base on certain circumstances. Those circumstances na the things wey go affect that land particularly in question.

If you go buy land wey dey inside gbege, hmmm na im be say you don enter.

If you buy land wey dey swampy area, that one too go make the price of the land go depreciate. I sabi say person go say how you go buy such land when dey no close your eyes but people still dey intentionally buy them hoping say government go do something on the area base on wetin dem hear for radio or television regarding construction for the place. Also sometimes buying land for dry season no too good because you no go really know about the topography of the place and during rainy season every where go open mouth. Land for places wey no get accessibility no dey increase in price as such but all these said, if government enter the area, omo those land value go shoot up.

I still prefer property far above btc investment. Me I believe say btc bull na temporary and if you no sabi when the bull don expire, omo na next 4 years you go expect your profit, depending on how much price you take buy or you sell in lose.

If she did cried, then she didn't even overreact..lol cus, some peeps can even go as far as requesting for a refund.


Who says she is not asking for refund  Grin

If the tear she is shielding is genuine then impliedly she is asking for help and help means refund. Nothing would make her cry if she is not regretting gambling with the money that she used on the game. Truly ladies are not able to stomach somethings particularly about your money and their money. Well if she didn't get support or refund then she would have learnt her lesson of gambling as she can afford to lose.

3. Single bet or double is the way to go, sometimes a triple. But not more, it always at least one favorite team that won't win that day so be careful to only bet on favorite's team.


I like this suggestion because it really works. Lately some gamblers have started using few games and to increase their stake on it and by that the risk in losing is reduced. Someone has been given testimony of how it has been effective for him this way and since he started gambling on few games, he has been winning continuously.

Really, when gambling on numerous matches the possibility is high for losing but you can concentrate your analysis on few games. Some times you can even bet on a single game, it increases chances of winning but the challenge is increasing the stake that is why gamblers shy away from playing only one game at a time. They want to stake multiple games so that the potential winning will be huge and they try their luck with just little stake.
1572  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 09, 2023, 05:22:06 PM

3. If mother got pregnant accidently via one night stand and she doesn't want baby, then abortion is probably okay, probably, because child will suffer from growing up without loving parents and most likely she will be abused by a mother or stepfather. But this part is very debatable and I don't have fixed opinion about that. There are cases when mother doesn't want baby but grandparents take it as their responsibility to grow them, so, it's very debatable.


Yeah amidst all the valid points and very brilliant indeed, this happens to be debatable just like you also agreed on that. For me if couple mistakenly get pregnant when they are not planning it or one party tricked the other to get it or it is just honest accident, I don't believe that they will transfer hate or agression to the baby so long the baby is not physically challenged what so ever. I have seen couples who end up loving their "mistaken" child more than the rest. Like I don't know about couple that will hate a child that is physically okay and mentally sound just because the child is "mistakenly " conceived or couldn't eventually aborted when they tried to remove it.
1573  Other / Politics & Society / Re: What's your view on abortion? on: October 09, 2023, 04:03:59 PM
Well the discuss about abortion is really taking a center stage especially with the freedom enshrined in almost all countries constitution.

Morality was taking a center stage, that it bad to take a life and in some countries, it is a crime to abort but such countries also go to war and bomb even hospitals where the sick and helpless is recuperating. It is really a wide topic and I will just say it is a choice.

Some people have purpose to avert a new life to be added to the family, whether health wise or not, whether logical or not is left for couples.

About reducing the number of population like we have some Asian countries having that as policy, I think with the reality of economic hardship, homes in Africa and new couples are already having the mind not to procreate more than what they can take care of.
1574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A matter of family conflict regarding Bitcoin. on: October 09, 2023, 03:31:16 PM

Bitcoin is getting more and more popular, and it is labeled with many different stories. I can see many people blaming Bitcoin as the cause of all the problems, but clearly the main problem is people causing them related to Bitcoin.


This is not the problem of bitcoin, neither did bitcoin cause the problem in that home. There are different investment areas and when it comes to the family or couple, they have to discuss and agree on the investment they want to go into and both parties should know the disadvantage or advantage, profit or losses accruing in the investment.

So regards to bitcoin investment, the both parties are suppose to discuss on it and agree on whatever that will come from it. Of course, bitcoin is volatile and can move either way and the investor could either smile at the end or have some laugher at the end, so that is the simple truth of that.

A home that is fragile already, is waiting to be dismantled at any slightest provocation.

  • When luck isn't on your side, consider an immediate pause to prevent further losses.
  • Don't push your luck beyond the maximum acceptable losing streak. Waiting too long often results in significant losses.


This is another thread that reiterates the luck factor in gambling and I agree with this. Most of the points listed are what have come up here and gamblers who are experienced keep to them.

Like you mentioned about luck, some times when playing and losing in gambling, we need to listen to that third voice that tells us to quit or exit for the main time and that is what to follow to avoid further loses when we keep playing. The luck factor is always there while gambling and when it is not going our way then we have to stay out. Staying out helps to get us to reorganize, plan and relaunch again with a clear mind and not for the shake of chasing what we have lost.
Sometimes,  I can't but to wonder why we as gamblers give so much attention a d expectation to luck factor while gambling,  although gambling being an unpredictable event who's outcome is mostly luck based,  but we can not also undermine the place of skills in aiding the winning of some games where there is a need to apply some form of tactical approach to aid it winning unlike in case of games which are based on luck mentioned.

So while we rely as much as we can on the luck factor,  we should also take into considerations the possibility of increasing our chance to win if we apply the right tecnics when it needed to help our winning chances.

Talking about skills take for instance in soccer, luck is well pronounced in it. I watched Arsenal and Manchester city game yesterday and I saw how it went, causing many gamblers that predicted on the side of mancity to lose their bet. That is the point of luck in gambling.

If skills is most important in betting especially in soccer, it means almost every soccer pundits would then be winning their bets week in and week out. They could go together but on a more serious note we have seen big teams loosing against underdogs and that doesn't have a place of skill in that.
1576  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Don't Stand With Either Palestine Or Israel on: October 09, 2023, 12:23:28 PM

The offensive attacks between Israel and Hamas should be discouraged in all ramifications. Don't attack Palestinians in your country, don't attack Israelis in your country. Don't stand with either Israel or Palestine, but stand for PEACE.
I STAND FOR PEACE.


I also stand for peace but how far we are going to continue preaching peace is yet to be ascertain in this war. This is a fight that started several decades ago and yet kept on after sometime. The peace talks in the UN security council just held recently has failed and both parties don't seem to have reached an agreement to stop. I see more escalation of the fight and some countries to join, at the moment Iran has been figured to be supporting Palestine even though they have not come open to show their support. Russia is already in the side of Palestine while US have been longtime friends with Israel, so this war is sort of bringing different blocs of interest in it, hope this won't begin the third world war.

1578  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: October 08, 2023, 07:35:48 PM
In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.

I believe in luck, and I don't think gambling is all about luck alone; it definitely has some luck factors as well. Even in our lives, luck plays a role in addition to hard work and dedication. So we can't say gambling is only about mathematics and statistics. In my opinion, gambling, lottery winning, and even trading luck play a major role. Making cash from gambling is a good option as long as it's not illegal, because making money is a good thing, right? But when it's become an addiction and you start to lose money, it's not good at all, and you need to control it as soon as possible. When you have strong willpower and can gamble responsibly, you'll make money if luck is with you.

It is a good thing with luck but we don't need to rely on it to be successful. We need to plan and let our luck carry us through. We have to plan and that means being ready so that when the luck comes it will meet us ready. This to gambling means we have to do our home work very well by analysing the games we want to play and research on them especially in soccer, then we bet them reasonably like beating few games has chances of success. But if we bet so many games to win millions of dollars, it means we are taking unreasonable risk that the luck won't see us through. Many gamblers bet this way and expect to win.
1579  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: October 08, 2023, 06:39:24 PM
Well I think I could survive without a government job here in the United States, but that being said, I work directly with the government.  I run the state of Illinois Deferred Compensation plan which is the governments form of a 401k.  The way I see it, I got in to this industry to fight for and create change.  I am able to do so while working for the government and that's a great feeling of satisfaction that I get from it.

That is good you are in government job and to fight for positive change, so how have you been able to get your contribution impacted on the government policy and have you been able to influence the creation of new jobs around you.

Like to ensure those who retire out of service don't manipulate their names back in the payroll perpetually, those families whose retirees are late don't keep benefitting from the payroll and also that deserving employees are employed to replace the retirees because when new people are employed then the unemployment rate will be reducing. Just to add, there are ghost workers in government establishment and they pay them in proxy and they don't pay tax to the government.
1580  Economy / Economics / Re: Without government job we can survive on: October 08, 2023, 04:30:44 PM
Let us be realistic to ourselves, is good to extreme to wait for government to make provision of every in a country, sometimes when we graduate from higher colleges we expected government to create employment opportunities but in some points government keep adamant of making employment be visible and available to the mass,  on my instinct I said without government employment man can survive, I started a popcorn 🍿 business which I managed alone but right now have workers under me which I'm paying and now planning to establish another business.

Virtually everything you see government have a hand in it either directly or indirectly. In this present situation we are now is not a necessity or a most you wait for government job. To even get government job now is becoming more and more difficult, individuals have to be innovative, creative and acquire skills. You can make a leaving with physical business or online business but still those things are make easier with the help of government. Even if we ain't given government job they help us in subsidizing alot of things that will enable us carry out our businesses effectively.

It is government inefficiency that create the kind of chaotic business environment that is withnessed today. In the first place it is the responsibility of government to provide security and enabling environment for the people. The youths are suppose to be supported to thrive in any area of life that they choose with the unavailability of the government jobs  Government is given the right of protection for the people because the people gave up their rights to elect them to take public decisions that is suppose to influence their lives positively.
