I lost my yahoo email password and the phone number which I use in online registrations, l was less concerned to retrieve it back then in 2009. last year I heard about bitcoin price I was mad. I have 110 btc in bitcoin wallet but I don't remember the wallet wether it was blockchain or binary, even if I remember the wallet I don't remember either password or username as I have used numerous username and password on online stuffs. most night I calculate how rich I am if I had 110btc in my possession.
You can opt for SIM retrieval if you can still remember the number or you can offer the current user the opportunity to pay him off to give you the reset password.

Arbitrage games trading no longer profitable for close to 2 months now, you can hardly see errors from them as arbitrage gaming means feeding on bookmakers errors , i have stopped trading it, but it may swing back to full business as soon as as new football season resumes.
So if still interested, i can put you through during my free periods, please i don't mean to advertise arbitrage game trading here and i don't expect people to request for more info.
As i have said, it's no longer profitable as most bookmakers have upgraded their system to have fewer odd errors, but not zero error.
One question,can one lose money on an arbitrage stake?

They are so numerous to mention. is it the 70k i invested in MMM or my 55k I lost trying to play one sure 3 odds, abi the money I take buy some gadgets when I no Dy even too use like smart watch and headpiece. Las Las nobody is perfect. you must at one time in your life spend or loose money on frivolities. but the one I'm always careful is spending money on a gal not related to me. my conscience Dy beat me for that one, because anytime I wan mumu, my mind will call me to order. I remembered when I wanted to give a gal 5k for hair after winning 24k for bet, my mind now told me to call my mom and I did and I asked if she needed anything and she said no and I just asked her to send her account number for me to check something and I transferred 7k to her. I'm not wicked or stingy, just that some heartbreaking stories I read everyday online Dy vex me.

I quit betting 4yrs ago but last year December I was just scrolling thru Twitter then a noticed a guy who called himself king of 2odds, I saw series of his tweets on betting and I was tempted to give betting a try again. I had 15k in my acct which was the little money I have gathered for my school house rent. I played Liverpool over 1.5, then Man City 1.5 but fucking Liverpool played 1.0.OMG!! I nearly committed suicide that day

It will not be well with all these Binomo people.
Ogun go kill them all. cry

I almost got scammed with this BINOMO.. That fateful day i met the bastard on Instagram and was sending me different credit alerts of the ‘imaginary people he has sent money to’ the idiot went as far as sending me series of voice notes on instagram telling me how real it was he was talking calmly. So I decided to give it a try i had about 150k in my account and wanted to try it with 100k..
i was about to send the money when my Babe’s call came in, the foolish me was cutting her call because i was about to transfer the money, i have even typed in the account number when her calls kept coming in I decided to pick up, that was how she was lamenting that her younger bro was scammed a day before of 250k by one BINOMO guy like that...
Mhen!!! Fear catch me though i didn’t tell my babe I was about to do such, even to date i still haven’t told her about it..
But i just thank God sha because if not for her naso the Bastard will just scam me of 150k.
He was assuring me that i will get Triple of the 150k in 45minutes..
Well, i just thank God sha..

Don't put your money in what you don't understand. That's a fact.


How? You guys are trading without basic Knowledge? Now that Forex even has Legit account managers, how do you loose that much?

I've been a trader myself for 7 months now and I never loose like that. Or is it your Lotsize? How exactly are you loosing that much?

I lost over 450k within a month to bet9ja in 2019, I tried recouping my lost fund of initial 260k only to see it increase to 450k in space of 2 months, Liverpool vs Barcelona semi final champions league was the last straw that broke my camel back as i layed 260k for Barcelona to qualify for final, i think the odd was around 1.12 as Barca has already thrashed Liverpool 3 to 0 at Camp Nou only for Barcelona to receive 4 to 0 at Anfield, what a game!
I couldn't sleep and felt so depressed.
February 2020, a miracle happened, i saw a link for arbitrage betting training, d guy requested 1k to join the watsapp group for training and i decided to try it out, i was like 1k is too small, i won't mind getting scammed, only for it to be real.
Between Febuary to June dis year, i recovered all lost to betting from many bookmakers sites and made more than what i lost, it only pained me that bet9ja was not the bookmaker that paid most of the funds recovered. There was no lockdown for me as the period was when i recovered all my lost fund from conglomerates of betting sites through arbitrage makers.
SAY NO TO GAMBLING

I think I need to be enlighten.....how do you got to realise it was a fake alert. How was the alert like

He showed me a fake debit alert from his phone with my account details attached as the beneficiary......not knowing that the dude used his app to just do some minor editing that looked real to me.

See eeh....if you are doing business with anybody and he or she is to pay using transfer.... ensure that you check your balance using your mobile bank app for proper validation.

After several losses to so many ponzi schemes like wealth solution(70k) Penny wise(45k) and MMM (50k). The most recent happened in 2018. A close friend introduced me to a fake travel agency in Osogbo about a (60k) work visa to Australia. I carried out due diligence about cost of travelling to Australia and visa issuance on various platforms, but I'm not convinced about offer of the Osogbo travel agency. It was quite in contrast with my findings.

Despite the fact that I wasn't convinced about the offer, because I knew the cost of Australia visa class(es):work,student,visit differs and more than the 60k the fake agency is offering, yet I travelled all the way from Lagos to Osogbo just based on the fact that "my friend also participated " and based on Yoruba saying : tàbá rà ìró, à lé rà ò tó meaning: if you don't buy lies you cannot know the truth.

Gbam: the predicted happened... It came out the agency was a scam and millions of people's hard earned money was lost.

Lesson: Risk level differs among people and do not part with money if you're not sure of the business or investment

Getting money is hard and maintaining it is even harder, as such we must be very careful as to how we spend it.

So I was discussing with a friend and he told me the biggest amount of money he has ever lost in his life was when he bought a car of 3million Naira after saving for like 3 years, and he didn't use the car for up-to 3 months before he got involved in an accident that almost claimed his life with the car.

I laughed and told him mine was when I used 100,000 to play betting and lost the money while in my university days. Lessons learnt from him was that car is never an investment instead he should have invested the money, mine was that gambling never pays at all...

Guys please share yours lets all learn and be enlightened
Squandered 20m in 3 years, bought a camry close to 2m spent over 1.5m on it a year later. I've not been okay since then
