Thank you brother. I only play one slip every weekend and I think its best not to chase games. I leave out the purportedly 'sure' games that I don't feel good about (see; Parma vs JUVENTUS or Sevilla vs BARCELONA)
Still, you can stake on the Sunday games in the tip

SportsWeekend Betting Tips (11-12/04/2015) by Captaincue(op): 10:01pm On Apr 10, 2015
As I'm wont to do, I'll begin with a caveat: These
tips are loose guidelines for betting folks. They're
NOT strict, ironclad predictions. You should view,
appreciate, espouse, edit and delete as
appropriate. That said, we all share a common
interest of winning big & you should realise I only
post tips I believe are gonna come to pas. That
said, here goes:

MAINZ vs BAYER LEVERKUSEN
I emptied my account once and had N2000 on me.
I had to check when the prices at the cinema were
between 500 and 700 naira. Still, I had to consider
a lot of factors and convince my date to stick with
the drinks -- that their popcorn was overrated and
poor. The things being broke makes one do! Now, I
imagine that in a couple of months, I'll be able to
afford to go to the cinema regardless of prices.
With their rich vein of form, Bayer can afford to
take anybody to the cinema AND order popcorn,
caviar with other assorted debaucheries.
Comprehensive away win

HAMBURG vs WOLFSBURG :
Excellent, technically-astute players are required
to play Wolfsburg's counterattacking style of
football. And they do possess technically savvy
players.
Wolfsburg victory

STANDARD LIEGE vs RSC ANDERLECHT
Two erstwhile great Belgian teams undergoing
some sort of tough transition. Still, these two
should conjure an outcome that'll exceed two
goals
Over 1.5goals

LAZIO vs FC EMPOLI
Look, Lazio's form reads something like
WWWWWW... ad infinitum. I still wouldn't put my
money on a straight victory for them. They're not
gonna lose though, I'm sure of that.
1X

HERACLES vs AJAX
An odd of 1.75 on an Ajax win is too good to pass
up.
Away win please

MONCHENGLADBACH vs DORTMUND
BY hook, or by crook, this one will produce two
goals. Mark my words..
Over 1.5

NAPOLI vs FIORENTINA
If you had a gun to my head and told me to call
this one, I'd bet my brains on a win for the team
from Florence. Napoli have been dire. Still, they'll
up the ante for this.
Over 1.5

AC MILAN vs SAMPDORIA
Two sides with competent if unspectacular
attacks and fairly porous defences. It goes
without saying but I'm gonna say it anyway...
Over 1.5

BORDEAUX vs MARSEILLE
Another match that has Over 1.5 written all over it.
For my audacious tip of the weekend (which you
should include/exclude in the accumulator at your
discretion), I'm betting large on a very
straightforward Man United win in the Manchester
derby.

There's your lot for the weekend. Cast your votes,
stay safe and be excellent.

WEEKEND BETTING TIPS (04-05/04/2015)
Again, I'm going to begin with a caveat: This tip right
here is just a loose guideline for betting folks. It is
NOT a strict, ironclad rule. You should view,
appreciate, espouse, edit and delete as
appropriate. That said, we all share a common
interest of winning big & you should realise I only
post tips I believe are gonna come to pass. That
said, here goes:

MAN UNITED vs ASTON VILLA
:
What better way to start today's post than with my
surest banker. Commonsense seems to have
prevailed for LvG and United are now playing with
a recognisable structure. Two wins on the bounce
against Tottenham and Liverpool. Villa will be
victimized.
Manchester United win

GUINGAMP vs LYON:
Lyon fckd my accumulator last time out by
losing to Nice. I've recognized they have a
problem breaking down teams playing on the
counter. Playing away though, they'll have space
to run in behind. I see a perfect away
performance.
Lyon win.

CORDOBA vs ATLETICO MADRID :
The Madrid side have lost a bit of steam; as
evidenced by the fact that they've drawn three of
their last five matches. Cordoba are on an
unending losing streak however.
Away win

BAYER LEVERKUSEN vs HAMBURG:
I was sure General Buhari was gonna win the
Nigerian Presidential elections, provided its not
rigged. Barring a match-fixing scandal, this should
be an easy home win

VALENCIA vs VILLARREAL :
Both sides play exciting, attacking football. But
Valencia have been absolutely brilliant this past
couple of weeks; scoring six goals in their last
four games.
1X

TWENTE vs PSV:
PSV have wrapped up the Eredivisie title in my
opinion. Their comfortable lead has led to a bit of
complacency and they've consequently faltered in
their last five fixtures. Normal services will return
in this one.
PSV victory

DORTMUND vs BAYERN MUNICH:
This used to be a blockbuster. Then Bayern
started picking off Dortmund's best players. Still, I
think this fixture retains its capacity to bust some
blocks.
Over 2.5goals

PALERMO vs AC MILAN:
Double chance on Milan. They've been
disappointing.
X2

ARSENAL vs LIVERPOOL:
I had a girl over once. We were licking and
frolicking when she squeezed my nipple. I don't
know where she read that nonsense. You could
finger my eyes with a hot, iron rod and get a more
positive reaction from me than she did with that
nipple squeezing episode. A couple of friends have
confessed they like it. Different strokes for
different folks, they say. I guess we can reach a
compromise of a stroke; by way of the number of
goals scored.
Over 2.5goals.

CAGLIARI vs LAZIO:
The other club from the capital are in brilliant form;
6 consecutive wins in the league. Still...
X2

SEVILLA vs ATHLETIC BILBAO:
Will be an exhibition of attacking football; which is
a recipe for a tonne of goals.
Over 2.5

WOLFSBURG vs STUTTGART:
Wolfsburg will have far too much quality for this lot
-- which should get them the full three points in a
fairly straightforward fixture.
Home win

FC UTRECHT vs AJAX :
A banker for me; despite the big odd on an away
win.
Ajax victory.

FC AUGSBURG vs FC SCHALKE 04 :
An infuriatingly inconsistent side. Still, I don't see
them losing at lowly Augsburg.
X2

OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLE vs PSG:
3goals will be scored in this fixture. At least. Stake
big on it.
Over 2.5goals

For the audacious tip with a really large odd (4.12)
of the weekend, look no further than a Real
Soceidad victory away to Malaga. I'm well aware
its David Moyes, but his side are in a purple patch.
Include/Exclude in your accumulator at your
discretion.

That's your lot for the weekend. Good luck boys.

gregor1:
Pls can u explain what over and under @ means in betting?
If one is staking on , say, over1.5 (goals), it means that, should the match produce more than a lone goal, your game is still intact.
If, for some reason, the match fails to produce up to 2 (over1.5goals), then your money is gone.

BETTING TIPS (21-22/03/2015)
Good people of the football betting confraternity; I
hail thee. Again, we are gathered here today to
continue our bid to win N2million with a stake of
N200 every other weekend. Godspeed. Here goes:

LYON vs OGC NICE
A huge slap in the face/A monumental kick to the
groin of the much heralded 'best league in the
world' aka the EPL that two Ligue Uuuuuuuuuuun
sides are still in the Champions league. Nice have
four losses on the spin. Lyon will make light work
of them.
Comfortable home win

NORWICH vs NOTTINGHAM FOREST
Two form teams that play the most expansive
style of football in the Championship. It'll be an
entertaining match with a tonne of goals.
Over 2.5

ATLETICO MADRID vs GETAFE
Atleti looked a bit leggy in that entertaining match
against Leverkusen in midweek. Still, they'll have
too much quality for their opponents.
Home win

FC SCHALKE vs BAYER LEVERKUSEN
Over 2.5 goals

GO AHEAD EAGLES vs VITESSE
The stupidest club name in all of football. For that
only, I'm staking big against them. Lol. Really,
Vitesse have won four of their last five and GAE
have lost four of their last five matches. Go ahead,
see the writing on the wall with your eagle eye and
bet on an away win .

TOULOUSE vs BORDEAUX
Christmas has come early boys! 2.75 on a
Bordeaux victory. Am I mad?!
No. That's why I'm betting on an away win.

CD NATIONAL vs FC PORTO
Porto are really, really, really good. Consistent too.
I see naught but a straightforward Porto victory .

ATHLETIC BILBAO vs UD ALMERIA
Bilbao's strong run of form has been somewhat
surprisingly swimming under my radar. Not
anymore motherfvkas. Not anymore.
Home win

FEYENOORD ROTTERDAM vs PSV
Feyenoord are in good nick, but PSV will edge a
tight contest by the smallest of margins.
PSV win

Fsv MAINZ 05 vs VfL WOLFSBURG
Such is their attacking prowess that Wolfsburg
don't bother defending. The bastards always
outscore their opponents.
Away win

STADE REIMS vs AS MONACO
One of the rotten sides in Ligue1. I think Monaco
will continue their beautiful run in the league by
edging this.
Away win

QPR vs EVERTON
Two sides with fast, dynamic attackers and
underperforming defenses. Recipe for a shitload of
goals.
Over 2.5

UDINESE CALCIO vs AC FIORENTINA
Unlike those above, these are two sides that play
brilliant, fast-paced attacking football. Another
recipe for lots of goals. Variety is the spice of life,
you see!
Over 2.5

RC LENS vs OLYMPIQUE MARSEILLE
Marseille victory all the way. And that's a banker.

FC BARCELONA vs REAL MADRID
A brilliant fixture to wrap things up. Why worry
about who'll win and consequently fail to enjoy the
match -- when you can just bet on over 3.5goals ,
open another can of beer and enjoy the spectacle.

That's your lot for the weekend. See you after the
international break. A brilliant weekend.
Bottoms up

LiteratureWorry by Captaincue(op): 9:38am On Mar 16, 2015
LEAVE THE MORROW ALONE

I swear to God I get uber unhappy sometimes, brooding over stuff. Asking God
'why always me'. This phase comes intermittently. These days, thankfully,
those intermittencies are few and far in between. In my late teens, it was a
far more regular occurrence, which prompted an obsessive self-development
voyage. I like to think its paying off. I just want to complete this tedious
degree programme of mine. Get a good job. Get filthy rich. Get married to a
really beautiful lady in 2022...or thereabouts. Start making some serious
money -- but not necessarily in that order. I just wanna be happy, and I
imagine we're all in perpetual pursuance of happiness..which is a really vague
word in and of itself.

What really constitutes happiness? As I wrote in VALUE FOR MONEY, there
are many facets, and philosophy/psychology has tried to understand the
basics of fundamental human thinking. That piece was about satisfaction. This
is about worry and apprehension. I'd like it noted here and now that I'm not
basing my theory on academic philosophy. Its strictly my thinking that I'm
going to present. Thanks.

To substance, I really do think that unhappiness stems from basically two
main sources: what happened in the past and what'll happen in future. To put a little context on this; I'll reminisce. Growing up, my folks would buy
stuff -- stuff much bigger than I was, on the premise that I would grow into
them. I would get bigger school uniforms, buy ill-fitting shoes. End-result? I
didn't like those items. My folks didn't like me not liking those items.
Shocker? No one enjoyed it.

The mind gets fickle occasionally. You start wondering if your current situation
might've been better had you done things differently in your past. Other times,
you just sit there thinking of what would be...if you'd end up happy.

No one knows what the future holds. Sometimes, I get super apprehensive as
well. Happens to the best of us. But in one if those self- books, I found a
passage saying "..why worry if you can solve a problem?...if you can't solve a
problem, why worry?" or something like that. I.M.O, worrying fosters panic --
which fosters desperation -- which fosters general ineptitude; itself a
byproduct of unhappiness.

By all means, plan for tomorrow. Work for tomorrow. Pray for tomorrow. Just
remember, (as V. said): "tomorrow, you might get hit by a truck or win a
million dollars OR tomorrow you might win a million dollars AND get hit by a
truck".

Its a crazy world. Give it your best and strive to be happy. Live for the now.
Live in the now.
Our tomorrows will be good.

LiteratureBOURNE IDENTITY (book Review) by Captaincue(op): 7:57pm On Mar 14, 2015
BOURNE
Evening all. My book reviews will consist four
parts;
1. Vague summary of the book.
2. The Plot.
3. My Verdict.
4. My rating; on a scale of bloody-awesome to
ducking-awful.
Here goes:

SUMMARY:
The book of discourse today is BOURNE IDENTITY
-- the first book in the original installment of
a trilogy (its been continued by a number of
authors since Robert Ludlum's demise). The
Bourne Identity is a 1980 spy-fiction-thriller
resplendent in action packed, espionage-filled
themes that tells the tale of a certain Jason
Bourne; a chronic amnesiac with no recollection of
his person and no vestige of his past, save for a
microfilm (this was 1980, remember?!!) and a
Swiss bank account holding a cool $5m.
As Mr Robert Ludlum is wont to do, he takes the
reader into a very energetic, highly charged
amorphous world of a complex man whose
psychobiological configuration is so different to the
everyday man it almost belies credulity. Almost.

PLOT :
The preface contains two 1975 'real life' write-ups
about Sanchez Ilich Ramirez ominously dubbed
'Carlos the Jackal'.
In a world infinitely more chaotic than mine, a
man is fished out of the Mediterranean sea in
Marseilles where a degenerate doctor stitches him
up and he wakes without any solid recollection of
his previous life. Only clue he has is a microfilm
which leads him to Zurich where several attempts
are made on his life. He escapes, survives and
instinctively adapts to goings-on around and about
him. In a bid to piece together his fragmented life,
circumstances lead him from Marseilles to Zurich
to Paris where he meets and befriends a Canadian
economist in an obligatory love twist to the story.
Bourne has spasmodic recollections of a turbulent
past. He speaks several Mandarin dialects and is
so well versed in disguise, combat and weapons
of all sorts he would put Jack Bauer to shame. He
(and his increasingly prominent girlfriend) must
escape death traps from both the CIA and a
ruthless assassin (Carlos) who possesses a super
network of highly motivated comrades -- while he
tries to make sense of his life.

MY VERDICT:
By now, everyone must have seen a movie or read
a book about the many covert operations of the
CIA the world over. If you haven't, this is a good
place to start. In my honest opinion, The Bourne
Identity gives the reader a firsthand knowledge of
what goes on in the dark labyrinthine world of a
spy and the life and death decisions he has to
make on a daily basis.
Mr Ludlum does a brilliant job of describing the
combats, the weapons and the characters are a
complex bunch.
If you are not a fan of conspiracies, you'll find the
book a little tedious and curse Cue for not warning
you about a boring read.
If on the other hand you love spy stuff, you'll love
this one. Amidst all those spy-yey guff, there are
some hardcore lessons applicable in the
nonfictional world.
The book offers a course in bribery, concentration,
focus, resilience and animalistic desire to survive
through some quality epithets. Do yourself a
favour, and read a copy.

CUE's RATING:
BLOODY AWESOME.

EducationAmbition by Captaincue(op): 1:12pm On Mar 13, 2015
AMBITION, CONTENTMENT & MATERIALISM

As a scientist, you gotta have a little bone of
atheism in you in order to be able to follow (and
believe) Darwin's theory of evolutionism.
Geologists will have us believe (with good
explanations, mind you) that the entire solar
system was formed about 6billion years ago when
a spinning, disc-shaped hot cloud of interstellar
gases (and dust) in our part of the galaxy (the
Milky way) developed a very hot epicenter which
resulted in a series of thermonuclear reactions
that provided the proto-Sun's energy through
hydrogen fusion. Further turbulence of the solar
nebula led to the condensation of these gases, and
invariably led to the birth of the planets; as it were.
What evolutionism fails to effectively account for is
the origin of those gas clouds.

Outside of school, most everyone believe there's a
God somewhere/everywhere in charge of
everything. Religion provides us with an alternate
explanation of a being decreeing stuff to 'BE'. On
the surface, the demographic of Nigerian citizens
are essentially Christians and Muslims.
Christianity/Islam comes with rules/regulations
that serve as guidelines for people of those faith(s).

To contextualize the post, I'm gonna fictionalize an
instance: "In one of the technical drawing classes
that sweet custard of a young man (Captaincue)
took in senior secondary, the class was to design
a spanner. When he got his drawing sheet back,
he scored a 6/10 because there were a couple of
double-lines on his work. He wasn't particularly
chuffed-- as he'd put in a lot of work in that stuff.
So while wallowing in his unhappiness, a mate told
him he ought to be thankful. That some people got
as little as 2 out of 10." End of story.

By his (my) reckoning, 60% of the score wasn't
enough. 80% was the aim for him . That resolve,
that aspiration, that intent, is what I define as
ambition.
Recognizing the fact that he would've scored
higher had he (re)sharpened his pencils AND
eventually accepting that '6/10 isn't that bad!'.
That equanimity, that tranquility -- that's
contentment.
Knowing there are double-lines on his work and
sneaking into the teacher's office to correct all
errors in order to score higher however; that
greed, that animalistic hunger, that steely-eyed
determination to get more; often at the detriment of
religions' core values -- that's materialism.
What will you be content with? How lofty are your
ambitions/goals. What're you willing to do to make
those goals of yours come to fruition? How
unscrupulous can you get? How ruthless can you
be? How godly can you be? How low are you
willing to go? Are you going to look at those that
got 2/10 and say Alhamdulilai or you're gonna look
at those that scored 10/10 and punch your desk?
When does being content with happenstance
become a steady decline into the cesspit of
mediocrity?

When does untamed materialistic tendencies
escalate into a narcissistic spate of blatant
disregard for basic human decency? Why does
this even matter...?!!
Well, I think everything we achieve is somewhat
dependent on what your definition of those three
words are. Just do your thing. Surely, God will
judge us all on judgement day.
I think.
They say.
