cheesy

I used to do this from 2015-2019 during the days of 1960bet with colored slips after my first two accidental wins, and i became very serious with it in 2019


In 2019, I played only 1XBet and since i used to think I'm smarter that the rest, I usually analyze my games with the aid of some bet analytics like Windrawin, soccervista, Afootballreport and Statsarea yet nothing show


I finally stopped the day i used this 1xbet option 'Player not to score a hattrick" on Bernardo Silva and the game was Man City vs Watford.

City flogged them 8-0 or so and Silva netted a hattrick. Funny thing is, that was his only ever hattrick for Man City till date

Its a curse abeg. Stopped since 2019

There is nothing like a smart forecaster. He who win 50k today from bet is sure to loose 300k in the coming weeks. There is no champion or expert in it so it's a curse
He Who win 50 k today and lose 300k in a week deserve to be given award for mumu of the century

After Barcelona and Tottenham results, I have decided to take a long break for real.
How on earth can a team that’s in good form like Tottenham not beat Ipswich ?
Barcelona too ?
That Barca result made me take a pause mehn

Lol! This is an interesting thread.

Sport betting is a form of gambling that most people struggle to master. Of course, I would not play it in Nigeria because the owners or operators of online betting sites can easily cheat players. This is the truth. So, if you play it in Nigeria, you can expect to be destroyed eventually.

It is a different game in a well-regulated setting. Sport betting has been around for a long time in the UK, and most of our grandparents bet with UK-based companies. Those grannies you saw with red, blue, green, and other single-color sheets at bus stops back then were into it. Of course, the majority of them were losers. Why?

Our grandfathers were losers because they knew nothing about probability, logic, or reasoning. How many of them can even solve a simple algebraic equation? Gambling is a mathematical game with probabilities. And you use the pattern there to make decisions. So, you need an analytical mind to master it. How can they master it when they are always with bottles of alcohol? Lol. A skill that you need to be composed to get done. Lol.

It is exactly the same with trading. Trading forex, futures, stocks, bonds, and other financial markets is nearly identical. OK. Forex trading is bad...right? But you buy stocks of companies and call it an investment. Lol. Education is important mehn!

So, I am just smiling at everyone here saying Sport betting is a curse. If so, stocks purchasing is a curse too. Lol.

The main issue here is that forex and sports betting are so simple to get started that everyone just jumps in. However, intelligence outweighs having a Ph.D. Lol. You can imagine that if proper screening is performed, 99.999% of those involved in sports betting and forex trading in Nigeria are unqualified to do so. Period.

Qualification
1. You are prepared to master an evergreen skill that will earn you money for the rest of your life.
2. You already have a source of income that will support you for at least five years.
3. If you still live with your parents, you have mastered contentment. In fact, most children should avoid it because they struggle with contentment.
4. You are somewhat proficient in mathematics.
5. You possess a high intuitive skill.
6. You can train your analytical mind.

Trading is preferable to sport betting in Nigeria.

Duration of mastering trading
Minimum of 1 year, and can extent to 5 years. During the first stage, you are to use only a demo account after rigorous study. It should not be less than 6 months.

What next?
To see patterns, you must first process data from your chart and then interpret it. This is why mastery of trading requires analytical skills.

Backtesting is very essential
Once you have identified enough patterns, thoroughly backtest your findings. This is where probability comes in. And this is where I help most people. You need to know your win-loss ratio and then map it to the appropriate risk-reward ratio. This way, you will be able to know which trades to take and which not to. This is where most traders fail. And this is where I assist my friends (only my network... one must be careful with losers that will damage ones reputation, and not to run into trouble with the authority if tou are in a well regulated place...and this is why good traders dont take money anyhow to trade...run away from anyone soliciting for investment from every Jack and Jerry) who are presently trading. I do not teach trading because there are so many free online resources available, but I do try to show friends who trade how to backtest effectively, and so far, some have improved to become better traders.

After going through the above proces for almost a year, you will spend between $25 and $600 (an amount you can afford to lose) to open a prop firm or live account with a broker with an amount you can afford to lose after extensive backtesting. What is your assignment here? Not for profit, but to defend this account for as long as possible. I defended mine for more than a year before I began profiting. So, do you see why you need an income and months of study, practice, and review before you can master trading?

So, tell me, did our grandpas do all this? How many of today's gambling boys go through this process? Do they even have the IQ to do what I described above? Think about these things. You want to do the same thing Wall Street gurus do, and you think you can lay around with sachets of alcohol gambling at Nigerian bus stops? cheesy

If you want to learn an evergreen skill that will make you very comfortable in life, you should read this post again. It takes between one and five years to begin making a profit. Can you find a source of income first? And then, can you defend your first investment against losing it for a year or more?

Good luck to everyone.
If you are that good as you are painting yourself,you wouldn't be on Nairaland writing all these long winded Epistle..

I guess we're in the same shoe. I'm presently in great debt because I needed some quick money and business was a bit down. I ended losing my saving including clients monies with the hope of recovering. I have attempted suicide but eventually survived bcoz I don't even know where to start again. Business brand of over 6 years with good customer relationships and good quality delivery past records. Sincerely, I'm just hopeless and traumatised presently. Its not worth the hype that it's a blessing. Whoever says that isn't playing but benefiting from the system one way or the other. The government is aware of several cases in court related to betting mostly youth but the tax is all they care about. If you're not playing sport betting, I hope you never have a reason to try at all. The more you win, the earlier you get addicted and with time. It will consume you damage you financially. Go listen to stories from betting victims not beneficiaries. Just one good deal can get me out of this present mess and I've been praying for it to locate me b4 I eventually end it.

Ebenezer2021:
boss I stake my whole 60k salary on that Real Madrid AC Milan match.
It's only by the grace of God I've not committed suicide, I was owing loan app 60k so I used the money to stake the game so I'll have funds left so I can pay off loans and survive.
Boss Real lost that match to Ac Milan, though Bayern and Liverpool played.
I came to the conclusion that betting companies can influence matches.
Now I don't have funds left again after my salary was damaged by bets, the little I had this weekend I decided to try my luck with the last 6k I had but guess what Tottenham played to the gallery losing at home to Ipswich that hasn't won a single game before.
Betting is a curse, you need all tickets green before you win while they need just one red to win.
Bet na scam
Now I'm just finished like this

Straighttime:
It has been a blessing to me ever since I was introduced to N1bet.

Also it depends on what you trade with on the platform. There are many product ranges from A - Z

Lastly, have a daily target. A minimum of 5k target per day is 150k per month. More than twice FG minimum wage.

Be wise.
What market do u normally play?

Really you don’t think, or probably you don’t have the brain capacity to. If the teeming Nigerian youths are gainfully employed, who would play sport betting. The right question you should be asking is-

Are politicians in Nigeria a curse or blessing?

Governance in Nigeria have failed and collapsed and thereby pushing millions of people into different ways of catering for themselves.
Why are you insulting the man only for you to end up saying exactly what he said? Calm down
