Re: Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

For example, in Finland:

Quote
Veikkaus has the following compulsory loss limits in place applicable to all of their games (excluding Casino Helsinki): €500/day; €2,000/month; and €15,000/year.

https://iclg.com/practice-areas/gambling-laws-and-regulations/finland

Should this is be good deterrent to at least minimized gambling in a certain country? Or does it force gamblers to uses illegal means or even travel outside of the country that has this strict law to continue with their gambling?

Even though this happens people will still devise a means to bypass the restriction by creating different accounts with different gambling platforms, the right thing to do is that, the gambling platform should be the right people to decide on this by setting limits on their platform, which because it won't favour their, and the stated reason above that people will accounts with different platforms will still be a hindrance to such policy.

The problem of the super eagles has been that of proper management until we have a technical crew that is sound technical and with the right tactics the super eagles will be a dominant force in Africa and even in the world cup but for now some people who call themselves football administrators in the country is bent on doing what ever that they like by appointing any coach that they like

Even when the right person is appointed the super Eagles head coach, we also have problems with him in choosing the right players to play for team without making biased selection and politicizing their choice of players. The system is rigged, and for we to get it right, we must start from the head to sanitize the whole system so it will be free from people taken biased decision and choosing the right management team that appoints the right manager, and then a good manager that will then choose the right players.

Re: Bitcoin Price VS Bitcoin Usage
by
Franctoshi
on 27/08/2025, 17:19:27 UTC
Obviously Bitcoin price; the amount Bitcoin is worth at a particular time, and Bitcoin usage; the rate at which Bitcoin is adopted and used. The above phenoms surely has implications, one may be tempted to as; which is more important? The interesting fact is, price affects usage both positively and negatively. An increase in price attracts high usage, and vice versa. Conversely usage also affects the long term pricing of Bitcoin. Price has short term implications, usage and acceptance has long term implications. From the aformentioned, I can conclusively say; Price and Usage are phenoms that can influence the volatility of Bitcoin

Usage determine the price, the more people wants to use Bitcoin in their day-to-day transactions the more value it will become and hence demand increases which drives the price up, comparing Bitcoin price and its Usage, I think it worths what price it should be or its either being undervalued because people are still yet to catching the full potential benefit of Bitcoin technology and as digital currency, and store of value.

Plagiarism isn't limited to writing, it can be anything either an image, a song, a movie, ideas and content in any form or another person work without given credit to the original owner.

Most often, people that engage in this are just lazy to craft their own ideas, they are thief that don't want to work, want things the easiest ways.

These are People trying to become what they're not, especially those that wants to contribute in almost everything, and which they don't have much knowledge about it, they usually end up going to copy other people's work in order to complete their quota here or become relevant here, but when you have something you can offer, I bet you won't be among those that will want to copy or plagiarize, just as I'm a trader, I talk from the point of experience, also I can put up a topic base on experience or what I don't know which I want to learn and not to teach what I don't even know and on the process to try to claim ownership.

Vini has changed his behaviour and this was clearly seen in this match. If Vini is still selfish then Madrid will not keep Vini in their squad. At the same time, if Vini and Mbappe form a friendly whole, there is no doubt that Madrid's attack will be even stronger. Also, I will talk about Rodrygo. Was Rodrygo's performance really good? Diaz will be used as Rodrygo's replacement. Only if Rodrygo can perform better than Diaz, will Alonso give Rodrygo a chance in the squad. I am waiting to see if Rodrygo can perform better in the upcoming matches. Alonso is still experimenting with this squad. Alonso has not yet found the best Xi
Vini has never been selfish in releasing passes, you see that assist he gave to Mbappe! I'm very sure if it was Mbappe that was in that position, he would have taken the shot. The thing is, non of them is selfish, there are times players will feel the need or urge to take a shot while we the viewers will be shouting pass the ball, that's basically because we are seeing all the camera angles at that time. Yeah, he hasn't found his best starting eleven and that's because they are which is also good too. It's really not easy for him, some many options to pick from.

This is the kind of cooperation that they need to succeed in that club, they should think about their collective efforts towards helping Real to bounce back to their original form before thinking about their individual efforts, else it will make them to be avselfish player and not help each other in the club.

Re: How can you use ChatGPT for day trading
by

on 26/08/2025, 06:27:51 UTC
I have been seeing this in many places recently, including the news.

Not only that but also I saw some ads that writes 'let AI trade for you'. Have you been seen something like this? If you are a trader, you might noticed it also.

Just be careful, AI bots can be helpful but they are not excellent and they can result to huge loss if care is not taken.
First, ChatGPT is a multi-purpose AI, which means it will only make efforts to answer all your questions, but it is not specifically designed for all purposes. And if the bots/AIs designed for trading are still challenging, how much more is ChaGPT that wasn't designed for it?

In my experience with the AI, it merely analyse the historical data it could gather (technically and fundamentally) to issue trading advice, but in the end, it is more confusing than specific. So I stay neutral.

I'm in the line of thought as you, I haven't really seen a way better or helpful method of using ChatGPT that is risk free over the long run and stand the test of time considering the changing market dynamics, wars, economic policies, geographical tensions, and great pandemic such as the covid-19, that willing be differently from the normal market analysis we normally do using some historical data or information.

Next qualifier matches aren't far away from us anymore. Only a week left for them to be underway...

As for CONMEBOL... All top 5 teams in the standings have already kind of guaranteed their qualification for the WC. Colombia are still under a little threat mathematically.

Interestingly their remaining matches are also against Venezuela and Bolivia.  Grin  Only one point is enough for Colombia to secure their direct qualification too. I think they'll do it easily.
Meanwhile, Brazil will most likely finish as the runnerup in the standings, their performance has improved after being taken over by Ancelotti.
I think I agree with you, Ancelotti taking charge of the Brazilian team can make them to even win the world cup if care people underrate them in the world cup. The team already has some quality players and some stars. Their team and what they needed was a good coach and thanks to the coming of Ancelotti, we may be on the verge of witnessing a revivived Brazilian team under Carlo Ancelotti's watch.

-snip-
First of all, Tottenham weren't the favourites in that game and secondly Manchester city lost due to pep Guardiola's tactical approach which later turned out to be a disaster during the game, the first goal that Manchester city conceded was due to a wrong offside trap from the Manchester city's defensive set up and the second goal came as a result of the blunder committed by the goal keeper and besides I didn't expect players like Doku, Bernardo Silver and Rodri to be on the bench in such a crucial game and that's why I blame the coach's tactics.
Manchester City were favorites to win their home match, but their starting lineup was too weak in several areas to achieve their goal. Pep Guardiola appeared to underestimate Tottenham's strengths by fielding several players who should have been on the bench. It was his fault and he should accept the defeat humbly.

Rodri, Bernardo, Foden or Doku should be in the starting lineup against Tottenham - but I don't understand why they're all on the bench and Pep is likely to choose other players to do the difficult job. Pep needs to evaluate his team's strengths to be able to compete closely at the top of the table in the first half of the season - otherwise, Liverpool and Arsenal will surely widen the gap. Honestly, I want Liverpool to be ahead of everyone else - but it's only the beginning of the season for all the teams competing.
I never thought they will have lost that game at home to Tottenham, I guess their first game they won with ease gave them way too confidence that they underrated Tottenham Hotspot and thought they will have beaten Tottenham so easily and coupled with the fact them playing host of the match, thinking everything was gonna be in their favour but reverse is the case.

Re: Is it easy to be a responsible player?
by
Franctoshi
on 24/08/2025, 17:38:10 UTC
We all often write and repeat in conversations about the importance of being a responsible player. But I would like to discuss those points that are related to putting this into practice. Really: is it easy to be a responsible player? For someone, like me, it is not difficult, I am not a gambler in general, I am used to soberly assessing my advantages and, if there are none, limiting the size of my bets or playing only for research or entertainment purposes. But if we take the average player - is it easy for him to be responsible? After all, people often come to the gaming industry with the naive goal of getting rich. And before they come to an understanding of responsible play, quite a long time may pass. It is somewhat similar to smoking or gluttony. Everyone knows that smoking is harmful, and excess weight causes health problems, but there are a huge number of people who cannot quit smoking or lose weight. What do you think makes a person become a responsible player and why is it difficult for many?
Everything you want to do or become is about the sate of your mind, you can control anything you to control, therefore becoming a responsible gambler is a decision you can make by stating rules and that will help you stay disciplined while gambling.  Though it's not easy you said, it comes with a lot of work to put because you definitely will be tested at some point to do things out of control, I assure you, especially when you encounter a huge lose.

I think allowing a newbie to come to you for a full knowledge about Bitcoin is the best than you as a investor that has been into Bitcoin for a very long time to go to a newbie and introduce the Bitcoin to him, such a newbie will not take it seriously because he will be seeing that you have just introducing a scheme that him can't make quick profit out of it within a short period of time and such a newbie will surely ask this question that will him going to make money immediately if he eventually join Bitcoin.

If person dey desperate to learn something, e go learn am with one mind and nothing go stop am from thinking otherwise as him dey learn the thing. E go dey more focus and fit even learn faster based on say him mind don make up for that thing. When person come to you to teach am something, e don already show say this person don dey serious about am and go do well to get the best knowledge. If you dey position to fit teach people about bitcoin, e better make you just tell them about am, but no really sugarcoat or wan try persuade them. If them like am, dem go definitely come for am no matter what. Bitcoin na very delicate kind of investment wey you need to dey very careful about and try to make everybody make their decision about am before dem venture into am.
I agree with you, I love people to indicate interest about learning for me to teach them, right now Bitcoin speaks for itself and doesn't need much preachers. People only regard or value what they go for and not what someone brings to them. We've seen a lot scheme come and go, that's newbie that doesn't understand Bitcoin won't value it if you're bringing it to them than when they come to you for the knowledge.

Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread

There is a goal rush in the German bundesliga as alot of goals are been scored but the most surprising result is Leverkusen losing at home hoffenheim is a surprising result for me with the way bayern munich started their campaign last night with a 6:0 win I don't see Leverkusen been a threat to them this season
This is the kind of matches one should be playing both teams to score and ov 2.5 in his coupons. I hate it when I miss this kind of games and pick other games instead that will still cut. Sometimes the Garmam league produces lots of goals in some weeks and when you think you want to bank on goals the next week, one or two game will decide to do something else.
All the teams that has played today in the Bundesliga game, scored 3 goals and above in their respective matches, Suprising Leverkusen lost at home to Hoffenheim. Both teams to score some used to frustrate ones game ,but anyone who had targeted over 1.5 goals regardless of who wins and which team score will have been in the money and also it a safer staking side of sports betting to me, but usually the odds are relatively small.

Manchester City drop their first 3points at the hands of Tottenham, and having watched this game I will admit to say Spurs looked like the better team in both halves and just looked more hungry for this victory, I now understand why the Cityzens weren't even considered as favourites to win this EPL because the team isn't just convincing tbh and that Ederson benching should be haunting Pep by now... 2nil what a game it was , Spurs will forget Song so easily if they keep performing like this  Grin

I wasn't expecting this result to be honest, after seeing how they started off last weekend, now Lost 0-2 to the hands of Tottenham isn't a good start as a big team we used to know them over fellow big teams, it signals weakness over other big teams after they couldn't manage hold Tottenham at their home soil, it means Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool has the potential of winning them too if this is how they'll handle the big clubs this season.

The new Bitcoin bill in the Philippines proposes to purchase 10,000 BTC for the national reserve. Here the government has taken a great step and proposed to invest in Bitcoin, and plans to keep Bitcoin as part of their assets in the national reserve. We can see that the acceptance of Bitcoin is increasing day by day, this may be a step by the government of the country to improve the economic position of the country through Bitcoin investment. Bitcoin can be an important part of financial diversification in the future, this is the first legally proposed in the Asian continent and the first such initiative taken by the Filipinos, they have formulated the proposal for a Bitcoin reserve using the parliamentary legislative procedure.
🇵🇭



https://news.bitcoin.com/new-bitcoin-bill-in-philippines-proposes-buying-10k-btc-for-national-reserves/
This will be the worst time ever that any Bitcoin holder would think bitcoin will crash in the way it's used to, the past two-three Bitcoin bull/bear market cycles, rather we will definitely be seeing more and more countries start to go in this directions. The Philippines government has done the right move. There's definitely this government are beginning to see as Bitcoin is gradually gaining government/country adoption.

I expected Chelsea win but not with this many goals. What if Palmer was not injured then I guess the score line would have been different and we could have counted more goals than we saw.
…Or they could have been fewer goals if he had played. You never know.

João Pedro was on fire tonight along with his other Brazilian teammate. It looks like Chelsea might slowly turn into some cool destination for South American talents. I know they drew against Crystal Palace in the first game, but I think Chelsea might be among the title contenders a few months from now.

This is what we need at Chelsea this season, Joao Pedro really did incredibly well in this game, and with this Pedro's performance Jackson will soon be forgotten at Chelsea. It for Chelsea to score more of goals

In order to purchase Bitcoin, you either use a decentralized or a centralized exchange platform to that, secondly i don't know whic country where you reside, so it is another thing to consider because before purchasing of Bitcoin as some exchange might not be available to you in your region base regulations or restrictions especially those that comes from US, or EU countries may face some difficulties access some exchange. Binance, Bybit Kucoin are somethings of the most reliable centralize exchange platforms which you can, whereas for decentralized platform you can bisq.

Re: Bitcoin will enter $130k by August.
by
Franctoshi
on 22/08/2025, 17:07:06 UTC
We saw the Bitcoin price increase the most last July, and it created a new ATH, where the Bitcoin price entered $123k, the highest in Bitcoin history. We then saw a big drop in Bitcoin where the Bitcoin price came down from $123k to $112k, although the market has entered a little higher at the moment and is currently at $114k.
So I guess that maybe the Bitcoin price is more likely to enter $130k by this August, what are your thoughts?

There is only one week left until the end of August, but we can see that the Bitcoin market is not currently positive, but it has fallen a lot. When the price of Bitcoin exceeded $124k in the middle of this month, many thought that it might break $130k, but this was not possible, rather the market has been in a downward trend since then.
However, we understand that according to the current market situation, the market is likely to fall below $110k. However, there is a possibility of the market increasing in the coming month, however, since the market has seen a lot of decline in the past few days, it will definitely rise again.
I think it will take some time for the Bitcoin price to create a new ATH because the market is still in a breakdown, and besides, the volatility is very high now.
Bitcoin pumped massively at Powells Jackson hole economic policy speech today, I already knew this pump is coming after that grayscale announced their purchase of more Bitcoin coupled with the fact taht US government is no longer going to sell any of their Bitcoin holdings for the main time, While the market was tanking the fundamental was getting stronger, secondly the expectations that the Federal reserve will cut interest rate come September is another thing.

Re: UEFA Champions League 2025/26 Season

Attention, Attention!!!

Bodo/Glimt are coming to the Champions League and are having a great time.

They beat Sturm Graz 5-0 yesterday and played some excellent football. I didn't get a chance to watch the Bodo match because I was watching Fenerbahçe at the same time. I watched the highlights of the Bodo match. They play fantastic football. Unless they're facing top-tier teams in the Champions League, they'll easily beat most teams.
I've been following Bodo for two years and have become a huge fan. They're achieving great things with their modest squad and stadium. Smiley
Today we saw match of UEFA champions league and we watched match of Bodø/Glimt football team against Sturm Graz football team. Bodø/Glimt football team was dominant in this match as they did 5 goals in this match and opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Høgh was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 7 minutes when it was called a good start and Høgh applied pressure on opponent team. After three minutes, we saw more goal in this match and Bjørtuft was a person who did second goal of the match and he did this goal at 10 minutes.Saltnes did 3rd goal of the match and after that goal we saw 2 more goals in this match and that team performance was brilliant in this match and we saw back to back goals in this match.

It was an interesting match though, and no doubt they did incredibly well in that match but I wouldn't have to conclude just base on this performance because their form will be tested during the league face of the champions, and yes they've done pretty well in getting themselves a spot ticket for the Champions league competition come this season and hopefully they keep us entertained and we also enjoy the fantastic football they displayed yesterday.

It would have been a big shame for the Home based Super Eagles to lose all their three groups games. At least they can be proud that they won a game and also didn't finish at the bottom of Group D.


The match has ended and the scoreline is 2-0. Sadly they will not get $100,000, national award and flats in Abuja like the Super Falcons and D' Tigress.

It's painful and embarrassing for Nigeria to be eliminated from the group stage, so we just have to accept the defeat. If not, I don't think their efforts in this match matter because we already knew that Nigeria was disqualified since we lost the two matches against Senegal and Sudan. Even if they win 10-0 in this match, it wouldn't add anything. I'm wondering if the government made similar promises to the men's team as they did to the Super Falcons. Perhaps the men's team performance suffered because their focus shifted from the league to the promised rewards. It might have been better for the government to let them finish the league before announcing any promises, just like they did with the Super Falcons.

would've been more embarrassing if Nigeria got eliminated from the tournament without winning any team in their group so maybe we'll just use the win against Congo to console ourselves, I really don't understand why this set of under 21 players were not serious enough I know that Senegal is a country with good football history in Africa but we should've beaten Sundan.
I disagree with you cause such promises should encourage them to do better knowing fully well that there's something at stake so it's not about the government promises, I think they were not motivated or determined enough to win that's why.

When we expected of them to give us this kind of win during their first and last game they disappointed us, now it made it seems like this victoy looks like they did not impress anyone with the performances.
