You talk like an inclined bettor but a bookmaker tailoring down an odd just for you sounds odd but it's possible because I've experienced it and sometimes you can't even find a fixture.but you know no matter how smart a bookmaker thinks they're there are stragies they can't escape.

Sure there are strategies they can't escape, because they are lazy and slow to react. That is why they result to either closing your accounts, restricting your stakes/odds, or in worst case close your accounts and confiscate your funds. 90% of bookmakers are soft bookies who copy odds of sharp bookies like pinnacle sports, a bookmaker where professionals bet.

Pinnacle sports reacts in split of seconds and adjust their odds when huge money enters a particular market, why soft bookmakers reacts slowly in updating their odds. With pinnacle sports winners are welcomed, but beating them is a very herculean task, with them it is like swimming in a sharks and Crocs infested river, but people still dey beat dem wotowoto.

In strategy preventive protocols are always welcomed..
I have played so many bookmakers and I can confidently tell you ,if you read the game well you would have an edge.there are stuffs I can't mention here

Talk they say is cheap, no be internet again? Everybody na guru for internet. But a punter that doesn't know that multi accounting is against a bookmakers T&C screams newbiesh to me.

For me the reason why I'm not making lots of millions from sports betting is because I can't find enough betting accounts with bookies like 1xbet, betwinner, bet365 to place my bets. They will frustrate you by either restricting your stakes/odds, not pay you your affiliate commissions, or even close your accounts and withhold your funds. If I may ask what is stoping from making your own millions with sports betting?

You are new to betting I guess, with soft bookmakers like betkings winners are not welcomed, they boldly say it, that they are meant for recreation punters, not professionals, else smart bettors will be printing money with them. Beating soft bookmakers like betkings is not that difficult but they will kick you out by closing your accounts.

By smart bettors I mean those that consistently beat betkings CLV, and exploit their over priced odds, not those that win 10k today lost 100k tomorrow. As a professional punter, you can never cover your tracks, because the odds on which you place your bets will always give you away, know this and know peace.

HacheNoire:
All their base have been flattened already!

Billions lost and economic woes upon them!

The dollar is falling against all major currency’s

US bonds being offloaded!

Energy prices on the high and inflation on flight!

It’s called warfare! You don’t have to drop a bomb on mainland before you hit!

The US is losing more than Iran!

All their bases are flattened, then where is US launching these strikes from? Is from Washington or the clouds? As worthless as the Nigerian naira 1000000 Iranian Rial = #967.38, like the other guy said anything to make you sleep at night, but reality go certainly dawn on you.

Nduka172:
I would like to know how owning a shadow account is wrong show your bookmakers terms and conditions on having another account

This is betking account T&C.

"All users are expected to only open and maintain one account on our BetKing platform either via our website or via our mobile apps. BetKing reserves the right to close all or any multiple accounts found within our platforms and any deposit or winning in any of the multiple accounts will be forfeited"

You can go to betking T&C page, check section 11 subsection d to read their rules on Duplicity of Accounts. No bookmakers allow multi accounting. If you try this with 1Xbet or any of her clones na sorry be your name.

Forget long story, no staking formula can automatically turn a -ve EV bet into a winning one. In as much as you are not beating a sharp bookmaker like pinnacle sports odds, you'll continue being a father Christmas to betting houses, know this and know peace.

See how you balance dey display your ignorance. Having multiple bet accounts is against all bookmakers T&C. And it is clearly stated in their T&C that multiple accounts will lead to account closure, and withholding of your funds.

Narrowly missed this, missed that by whiskers, ogbeni let people hear world with your narrowly, narrowly miss this and that.

No idea.

Good, be it implicitly, explicitly, desplicitly, fesplicitly....zesplicitly one thing is certain. The government through NNPC is still spending trillions of naira on petrol subsidy even at the current cost of #1300+ per litre subsidy now have a new name "Energy security cost"

99thEnemy:
The part remaining is being termed intermittent price stabilization interventions.

It is not like subsidizing with cash (explicit subsidy), but rather by lifting some rules, regulations, taxes, etc... that will keep the fuel prices lower than it would have actually been without doing so (implicit subsidy).

The IMF was even calling for the removal of the implicit subsidies since August 2023

Explicit subsidy is completely removed, implicit subsidy remained.

How then did NNPC spent over #7T by the government lifting some rules, regulations, taxes, etc? How come Buhari even with the rules, and taxes in place spent #4T on subsidy payments while it was fully explicit in 2022, but Tinubu spent over #7T in just 1 year, on a non existent subsidy that is implicit ?

As long as the government continues to pay Discos subsidy for darkness, nothing good can ever come out of our power sector, not a cure but the bitter truth. Most of these Discos never had the money to invest, they just want to reap from where they did not sow, no thanks to free subsidy money. How can you collect subsidy for same customers that you can't meter?

As for Mr common sense senator, I was reliably informed that the Bayelsa power plant at Elebele that was commissioned by Tinubu in April this year, has not been switched on for even an hour. Abeg you fit help us write those your dictionary like letters to Tinubu and Douye Diri make them let us know why dem never power on the plant since April?

cr7lomo:
So difficult to educate stubborn illiterates.... he will " order" the arrest...do u even know the meaning of that word or the statement??...it means he has the legal power to do so ... he will tell police.." go and arrest that man "... and police will oblige as per na king of Scotland send them

Where in the video did the minister made the statement of "I will order the arrest"? Common sense they say is not common.

Atlantis585:
Look at this one trying to teach me the law. You charge someone to court first and the court determines his guilt or innocence. Now get out of here.

Ogbeni the police act permits warrantless arrest, stop displaying your ignorance. Go play with sand, with your 14 age group outside, you will be notified when it is time for kids but for now fly lost.

cr7lomo:
He will arrest him as police wey e be ...lol damn...alot of Nigerians are just educated illiterates

Lol!! Ur parents need refunds if you go school. So no be police him go take arrest am? Na him go find am go him house go arrest am himself? Ogbeni return the phone to ur elder broda wey don pass 14 you hear?

WhizdomXX:
Abuja, but they don't pay discos to the best of my knowledge.

So na you dey pay Disco subsidy money abi?

Atlantis585:
Nigeriis a very funny country. A minister wakes up and decides to arrest somebody for lack of performance. What happened to our judiciary and the legal system? Hopefully you will also order Tinubu’s arrest for bad performance after Mr. Umoru.

Na judiciary dey arrest? No be when him arrest am him go charge am to court? How some of una dey think self?

Sheuns:
You order for his arrest because you be IG of police or Justice of the federation.

Una go just Dey talk like person wey drink kai kai.

Na you type this thing, or na your 14 years younger broda dey play with your phone?

WhizdomXX:
I'm familiar with the power situation in Delta but When did Abuja start paying discos?

Where is your FG based?

WhizdomXX:
Where do discos collect fat checks from Abuja as subsidy payments?

Band E users in my Area in Delta state haven't witness power for over 6 months now due to a faulty transformer, but The Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) still somehow sneak in to drop estimated billings, and still collect fact checks in subsidy payments from Abuja for power they never distributed to this users. Na customers supposed to dey repair or install transformers?

efemena5050:
English just to sound so intelligent

English hard I understand.

femi4:
Its like we dont learn from history

Increase in tarrif has never fix power, so it wont start fixing it now

2. You cant compare power to telecom cos of the stages involved, infact we are paying more to the telcos cos of unreliable power supply.

We have challenges with generation, xmission n distribution

I understand your point of view. Yes increasing tarriffs will never fix power, but not paying cost reflective tarriffs won't fix power either. See the ABA power plant for example, their customers are enjoying reliable electricity, they are also paying the true value of the electricity they received.

Reference:
And what will you do if they don't..... because they won't. They will simply shift the goalpost. Just wait and see. There is always a reason.

That's were the government will come in by way of regulation or a power version of Endsars will take place. That time Discos offices go turn danger zones to staffs, because dem go dey collect crowd beating whenever them f up.

femi4:
It will be worse without subsidy. You ll pay more for darkness

That's a valid cause for concern, but I strongly believe it won't. In worst case scenario the service will be poor for the first 1-3 years. But it will definitely improve, because given the high demand for power, foreign investors will likely invest in both power generation and distribution which will lead to competition in that sector, and competition almost always favour the consumer. See how Airtel, Glo, MTN are digging it out, in the telecoms sector, do you still remember any of NITEL, Econet, TMobile, Zain, or even Etisalat? That's how many of these Discos will be forgotten.

Love800:
Okay, thanks so much.

But those on 33 tend to have longer hours of light compared to 11.
That is why i say there is a relation between band A and 33, but the difference is not yet clear to me.

In Delta state people are using line 11, 33 and band A interchangeably even though they are totally different things. You can be on 33KVA lines (Rare I must say) and still not have reliable electricity, if you are not on Band A, same thing applies to 11. Having longer hours of light has nothing to do with line 33 or line 11, it is your band (A,B,C,D,E) that determines that.

33KVA line be like Dangote trailer wey transport cement to your store in bulk (electricity stepdown or power plant). Then line 11 be like pickup Keke or bike wey carry 2-10 bags at once go your branch store or your customer site (transformers, or residential areas) . But if that your customer body full, and him get better road, him fit make arrangements for the Dangote trailer to carry the cement directly to him site. (Industries that use 33KVA lines)

Some companies use 33KVA lines directly, reason why most people call it industrial line a good example is the old Enternit in Sapele that used 33KVA lines to transfer electricity from Ughelli to Sapele for industrial use back then.

Eagleways:
so Howfar with the petroleum subsidy that was stopped.

People like you are part of our problems

It is like you are not getting it, nobody is saying subsidy is bad, but it's current implementation will only bring more harm than good to our power sector. You're just being either sentimental or ignorant of the harsh reality.

Just to let you know, subsidy on petrol was not completely stopped, the government is still secretly paying petrol subsidy till date. The government didn't really deregulated that sector unlike what OBJ did with the telecoms sector.That is why there is no noticeable improvement on fuel cost and our refineries. Are you aware that people bought sim cards for 30K then? How much is same sim card today? That wouldn't have been possible with subsidy.

Love800:
What's the difference between band A and 33?

Been asking this question for a year now but nobody can five me an accurate answer.

If you know, enlighten me please.

Thank you.

Band is the tarriffs category a user is on. See it like those popular MTN tarriffs plans way back then. With Band A you are supposed to be guaranteed of at least 20 hours of electricity daily at a cost of #209.50 per KWA excluding VAT. That means on band A you will spend around #31.45 to power those giant OX industrial fan for 1 hour.

As for 33, and 11 it has nothing to do with your electricity band. 33 is abbreviation of 33KVA lines, these lines carry electricity at a very high voltage (the kind voltage wey go fit use person stone ground die) across cities to a power plant. Then 11KVA lines carry these same electricity from the plant to your transformers. The electricity is then carried to your house. 33KVA, and 11KVA are just electricity transport/distribution mediums. Your actual band (A,B,C,D,E) determines how many hours of electricity you get daily, and how much you'll pay for it
