    Sports trading; easy way to turn betting to income generation business.

    That sports trading talk is sweet but it's not easy like that 😅 I tried it and found out that it require discipline more than the normal betting. You would be thinking like a trader, not gambler. This is exactly why many people fail, they still carry that betting mindset into it.

    What country have the highest number of gamblers?

    UK could lead but Nigeria also competes well because everywhere you turn, it's a betting shop. Yesterday, I was passing through a street and it had like 3 shops back to back. With unemployment rate and pressure in the country, people find chances in doubling their money.

    Do you consider chasing losses as one of the signs of gambling addiction

    Chasing losses is a trap. There is no sugarcoating. I used to believe that strategy thing until one bad night wiped everything off. That Martingale thing can work, but once it fails, that's a big disaster. This is exactly why I stopped using it.

    Do rich people still gamble because they want money?

    Rich people don't gamble for money like that. When you have enough money, some things will not excite you again. Poor men are chasing survival while the rich men are chasing excitement. That's the clear difference.

    Have you ever used the cash out feature in sports betting platforms?

    That cash out feature has saved me plenty of times 😭 . There was a time I had like 5 games, 4 win, but the last one was looking shaky, I just cashed out my small profit. Later that match didn't win. Since then I have been using the cash out feature. It's not perfect, sometimes you would regret...

    How much do you think is the ideal minimum withdrawal for an online sports betting site?

    I don't like it when withdrawal is difficult. Imagine winning small money then they set high withdrawal limit, that’s an outright wickedness. For me, anything around $5-$10 minimum makes sense. It's not everyone that play big stakes. If the platform didn't allow easy cashout, people would just...

    Accumulator vs single bet; Which is more preferable and profitable?

    Accumulator is difficult sometimes. I used to stack like 10 games thinking the jackpot would land, but it's all heartbreak. This is exactly why I stopped that thing. Now it's single or at most 2-3 games in a ticket.

    Is it over for mega MTT and professional gambling businesses in United States of America?

    It's only serious players that would adjust, others would run 😅 . 10% tax is never a small thing at all, especially for people that depend on it steadily. But we shouldn't deceive ourselves, big gamblers would not just quit like that, they would find the loophole. Even here, when the bookies...

    Do government tax gambling winning in your country?

    Tax or no tax, the real issue is consistency. Here, nobody is taxing winnings directly but bookies have already collect it through the odds. Even if government add tax, it's the same players that would suffer the most. Gambling is not a steady income, so adding tax would just make things worse...

    As a bettor, which betting option gives you high level of success

    Under/over 2.5 is not a magic formula. I used to think so too until the weekend it spoiled all my tickets. Football is unpredictable these days. I’ve seen matches that is supposed be under 2.5, then ended in 4-3. This is exactly why I stopped depending on one pattern. Mix things up and manage...

    What’s the ideal starting bankroll for your stakes?

    $50 bankroll sounds nice but real life thoughts would always interfere. I was literally managing small funds somehow but one bad run just wiped everything off. Since then I changed my approach. I only use the money I can lose without crying.

    Do you think Arsenal can still win the league?

    Arsenal and hope are 5&6. I have learnt to reduce my expectations. Anytime things look clear, something would come up all of a sudden to spoil it. With the pressure from City and all, it’s not going to be easy.

    How Do You Avoid Overthinking Tough Spots?

    Overthinking is a silent killer for this game. I used to freeze, analyzing for a long time. Now I just simplify it. Sometimes your first instinct is correct. If it fail, you learn and move on. That over-calculation thing can drain your energy very quickly.

    Do you end your sessions when you feel tilt starting to set in?

    If tilt start to set in, I’m out very quickly. I used to believe I am very strong, I chase loss till everything is wiped. One night, I just sat down thinking, why am I suffering myself like this? Since then, once I feel that heat, I close it. It's not every battle you fight. Discipline has saved...

    What's the first way you lost money in cryptocurrency?

    The first loss I encounter came from chasing hype coin that everybody was shouting about. I entered late, the market just dumped like they set a trap for me. 🤣It was a small money but it was very painful.

    Did you invest in shit coins?

    Shitcoins is a pure gamble. I tried one back then because the guys on Telegram where shouting “next 100x” but it was 0x I saw at the end of the day. 🤣This is exactly why I stopped following hype groups. Those people would pump, dump, then leave you stranded.

    Have your content become viral?

    I posted one random thread sometimes ago thinking it would not gain much traffic. Then the traffic spiked in a very surprising manner. Since then I stopped chasing “viral” because it’s a random thing. This is exactly why I focus more on consistency now. One post could go viral, ten can flop...

    Do you agree silence is a sign of weakness?

    Silence is not a weakness. Some people just like talking to prove a point, others would watch and move smart. I’ve seen quiet guys cash out big while the loud ones are still there struggling. You should learn to just observe first before acting. I also learnt about this the hard way, talking...

    Is it right to say that Inter Milan are the champions of Italy?

    We can't celebrate them too early. There is still 6 games ahead. So, anything can happen. I have seen teams mess up bigger leads before. Celebrating now is just setting yourself up for heartbreak.🤣

    Do you see Pep Guardiola leaving at the end of the season?

    Pep is not a manager that would just leave like that unless something serious is behind the scene. EPL is hot this season, do you think he will just abandon the project? Those rumors are just the normal football gist we are used to.
