Hey mehn, say what you want about Daenerys but leave the Taylor Swift squad down in Dorne, those girls are foooooooine. Especially the one that was showing Bronn her beautiful bo.obs after poisoning him back in Season 5. That was bad ar.se dude, and they are at least handy when it comes to physical combat.

Have you ever seen Dany wield a sword? Nah. If an angry Dothraki attempts to impale her with his sword best believe the sword is ghana break.

We really should start selling forms for our Hater's Club smiley smiley
No doubt dem Dorne girls were fine...but completely pointless.

I hear you on the sword break thing. How can a mere sword impale her, when she rides shard covered dragon unprotected with nary a scratch to her soft derriere? Come to think of it, how does she ride that thing without falling off sef? It's not like the dragons come with seatbelts and airbags...

Goodluck selling forms on this thread....I think you'll find that this is the HQ for the Danaerys Stormborn Appreciation Society.

My broda wetin man go do na? They can only be happy when all men are thrown into dungeons and bound in chains for eternal subservience. I hate those girl power sound bites because, to me, it's another form of I don't even know the word to call it. But it's really bad.

Those loopholes you mentioned are all legitimate concerns, but it's Daenerys. Her bo.obs triumph where swords fail.
Trust me!

Her hostile takeover of dothraki horde was just baffling. Are we to believe that an entire society would just up sticks and follow her, simply because she roasted their leaders?

Are there really no ambitious dothraki left to try and exploit the power vacuum?

Are there no loyal dothraki left to try and and avenge the death of their leaders, brothers and fathers?

Plus what is she even offering the dothraki sef?
This is a society of nomadix killers, with no established cities, no agriculture, and virtually no economy.

Judging from the conversation with Yara, I'm guessing that raping slaving and pillaging are no longer viable options for the dothraki- so how does Danaerys sustain this vast number of people whose entire lifestyle is centred around those very 'principles'?

Fvck Danaerys mehn...and Fvck that Taylor Swift squad down in Dorne

lol,it's obvious from your post that you're no fan of daenarys.
I understand you sha,but it just a movie and I think the loopholes are normal if you compare it to other series.
I hate her smug punctilious face. I hate her cheesy one liners. I hate her girl power soundbites.

danaerys's entire storyline is essentially just a beyonce video...with dragons

Kolade354:
Nihilist,what's your view on episode9 generally?
Now that the initial thrill of the episode has worn off, I can't help thinking that there is something fundamentally wrong with that Danarys storyline.

This is a woman that is widely known to as the mother of dragons.

Why would the masters of Astapor:

1. Attack Mereen without making contingency plans for dealing with those dragons?
2. Demand Surrender without making sure the dragons were dead?
3. Attend a negotiation with only a handful of men?

The masters had combined all their considerable forces to attack Mereen. Let's not forget that the Unsullied had been depleted by their running battles with the insurgent mask wearing guys...and grey worm himself said in the previous episode, that they only had enough men to defend the pyramid.

Then there's the new khalassar. A lot has been made of this force's numbers, but if im not mistaken, the khalassar includes not just fighting men, but women, children slaves, etc. If I remember correctly sef, Khal Drogo's squad was full of mostly chicks and slaves with relatively few riders.

Thus I don't belive this Khalassar should be this all conquering battalion that it's made out to be....


I find it so annoying that the masters of astapor would be routed so easily...


But then again, I really just want daenarys dead. I can't stand her sanctimonious guts. angry

I think that the bromance and banter between Ian Wright and Slaven Bilic has been the highlight of the the TV coverage of this tournament for me...

Bilic is a fantastic pundit. If he ever leaves the dugout, I'm sure there will be a space for him on the pundits sofa either at Sky or the BBC

The Blackfish is a regular human being too, yet he was smart enough not to surrender his castle when his nephew's life was threatened. Sansa is a regular human being too, yet she was smart enough to understand that Rickon was already dead. Jon has already died once for naively doing what he thought was right without considering the risks, so he should have learned his lesson by now. When will he know something?
Never! cheesy

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Fantastic episode, great ending.

Ramsay was just pure evil. His willingness to sacrifice his calvary is what did him in the end. If he hadn't shot them all to shyt, he would have had numbers to counter Baelish's forces.

That Rickon scene though.

Man Ramsay Is probably the best villain on TV in the last 20 years. I will definitely miss him

Minimal effort, maximum reward.

Coman has had quite the career already - he's only 19 and has played for PSG, Juventus and Bayern Munich.

He's already won the French league twice, Serie A and the Bundesliga. He could have a European grand slam by 25...

Bro, kindly check the break down below, im asking my mom right now as im typing, shes very correct.

It doesn't cost much to build, trust me, except u are being taken for a ride, na finishing dey chop money pass.
Don't be surprised that the contractor/architect handling your project while you are many miles away don take part of ur money buy Honda crosstour or evil spirit while acting like hes doing you a favour.....smileysmileysmiley

From these calculations, its not even up to 4 million, let's just put it at 4m cheesy cheesy

You just have to get yourself more informed about building processes through the property session on NL and you will soon realize that it is doable.

In addition,many people work with the illusion that they need to have Millions in their account before they can build their dream home.You have to take the bull by the horn and start somewhere.The first step is acquiring land that is free from any government encumbrance.

Best wishes.
5 million is not a lot when it comes to construction

That's why I'm asking what cost of labour is. And cost of building materials.
PropertiesRe: Construction Of A 4-bedroom Bungalow For My Mom...all Bedroom Ensuite. by Nihilist: 10:49am On Jun 18, 2016
Is 5m the cost of labour? Or does that include building materials as well?

I find it extremely difficult to believe that a house can be put together for 5m

bro, dats ur own view.to me football betting is either a recreation or a business endeavour. those dat engage in the latter know there r rules to follow while those in d former relies basically on luck and surest occurrence. I am a bookmaker agent and I can tell u dat the money I used to open my betshop came from the same bookmaker I agent for. if u take it as a recreation be ready to lose more than gain but if u take it as a business endeavour be ready to be disciplined.....
This is a really interesting angle.

What's your business model?

Do you take a commision as an agent for every bet placed at your shop?

Or do you run a branch in a franchise model?

Also, what's the behaviour of the punters you get in your shop? Are they mainlu calculated strategists or just speculators?

This is true. But we wey never fit take the stakes how we wan take do am? I no be O.G like you, didn't start till like 2014 and I lose money well well going for so-called 'sure bankers' and what I call Captain Obvious bets, wetin Dortmund take my oju see that 2014/2015 enu o le royin. I learned eventually and started putting money on the longshots. Also studied certain patterns, e.g Barca at Sociedad na sara point. Last time out I put 3k and won 17, Last EPL game of the season went for B.T.T.S picked 6 games 1k brought out 29. While the BuLi was on I recalled our scoring drought and went for the under option. It was too easy. This Euros are another example. Ronaldo, Zlatan, Mueller, Morata, Rooney not to score

Just thinking out of the box has really helped me a lot
That doesn't sound like you were thinking outside the box though.

If you were studious enough to notice patterns and make informed decisions on them, then it sounds like you're taking the logical and thought out option...

Even when you think you're playing like a maverick, on a subconscious level, you're actually playing it very savvy.

You might just be a natural at this grin

Look I have been in this game long enough to know there is a lot of luck involved in betting. Statistically a betting company can never lose, They already edge their bets with the odds they issued. So the foolishness is actually in putting your money in it. I am talking as someone who have won a lot infact a third of the money that bought my first car in Yankee was from a winning stake.

E.g Barcelona vs Granada Barcelona 1.01, draw 5 Granada 10. How would you stake your money? Put $100 on Barcelona you only win $1 back.

Personal story I started betting like 2007, I introduced one of my friends to it who was also on Nairaland. we drew all form of models analysis, excel sheets searched for games in Eastern Europe and South America but we were still losing more

An example I did an in game betting 77th min 2010 world cup Ghana vs Serbia the game was still 0-0 staked $200 on game ending in a draw, From gameplay, Both teams had settled for the draw as they didnt want to lose. last 5 mins an weed smoking Serbian player from a non dangerous move handled the ball in the box and Asamoah Gyan buried the PK. Money gone!!

Another 5 game accumulator and guess what Bayern was the only team who didnt beat Freiburg at home(One of the 5 games all season we didnt pick full points). Money gone.

After a while me and this friend decided it would be better to be on the other side. Due to logistics I pulled out(I dey school for Yankee, I no fit invest that much money and not be on ground where the thing dey go down). he did the platform, got the software he has a website and several shops where they take stakes and he is now a very rich man in Naija.

Then Lagos state licensing fees for betting companies was like 5Million then, last I heard(3yrs ago) its like 40M and companies are still paying it. Why because they know its one of the most lucrative business you can ever run, Chances of losing is slim. A professor from Booth I met in an unofficial setting once told me that if you are from a country where betting is legal, Its one of the surest business.
Akina1abi that owns Nairabet is a NL member, that used to put stakes for me vs coogar to predict on this forum, see as the guy dey ball now, he even contested for house of rep last year

Baba Ijebu wey you dey see so, I know the firm that handles their business and if you know how much their turnover is? This is Baba Ijebu that 90% of his patrons live in face me I face you and can barely afford $1 meals a day

The best advise is if you must be involved in betting, be the guy that takes stakes not the one who stakes
I've looked at the offered odds on merrybet, bet9ja, nairabet and they are relatively awful when compared to what the bookies here in the UK offer.

I've looked at the betting industry in Nigeria, and found that it is incredibly exploitative, and I'm toying with the idea of starting a football website using statistcal analysis of only EPL fixtures only to provide betting and comparison advice completely free.

That's why I why I'm asking what people's processes are...not because I don't know how to bet, but to try and figure out how many people rely on 3rd party stat analysis when betting
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Nihilist: 11:54am On Jun 17, 2016
Quick question guys...

Before you place your bets at Nairabet or Bet9ja or what not, what si your research process?

Do you just pick bets on a hunch?

Do you check sure banker websites?

Do you ask an albino to rub his testicles all over your face for good luck?

What's your process start to finish?

Walker. I've always rated that guy and I can remember his rocket (a la Essien) against Arsenal some seasons ago. Top quality.
Its funny how his career has gone.
I first saw him play in the championship with Sheffield United and he was good, but the man of the moment at that time was Kyle Naughton who is around the same age as him...

They both moved to spurs and the story has changed. That statement Is actually underplayed .

Sheffield United were selling their biggest stars around that time, following their EPL relegation in 07.

Jagielka went to Everton. Michael Tonge went to Stoke. Kazim Kazim went to Turkey. And word on the terrace was that Kyle Naughton was the one to eclipse all of them.

Almost 10 years later, Jagielka never fulfilled his destiny as an EPL midfielder, Kazim Richards never became the world beating winger that was promised, I think Tonge is still floating around in the championship, but Kylev Naughton flopped ridiculously...at least he has found his level at the lower end of the EPL.

Speaking of Sheffield United former stars, watch out for Harry Maguire this season. club captain at the age of 20, got his big money move to Hull a couple of years ago, and is now on the fringes of the 1st team, now back in EPL.

He is big, fast, strong, and very good on the ball. Defensively a teeny bit suspect, and prone to brainfarts...I think that his game(like danny Rose) has been elevated under Pochettino, and I'm looking forward to watching him reach the next level of his career.
