Smart South Africans Are Taking Advantage Of These 3 Income Opportunities

If you don’t love your job already, it’s time for a change.

Most people are resigned to the fact that their jobs suck. We’re all bouncing between low-paid positions, struggling to make ends meet, whilst we make our bosses rich.

Our days are filled with rude people, incompetent colleagues, demeaning work… and we STILL don’t get paid enough to afford a comfortable life.

The expenses go up, even when the pay doesn’t.

That’s why thousands of people in 2020 are choosing to earn a living at home and work for themselves. In the past it’s been a fantasy, but in today’s world, it can actually be done by anyone.

“It’s easier than you think”

Take the power back

Not having a boss and working your own schedule may seem too good to be true. Honestly, it’s not super easy. But it IS possible, for everyone with a smart phone and the internet.

Over the past few months, more and more South Africans are earning a living through online surveys, online blogs, online trading and online casino. They’re taking their future, and the future of their family, back into their own hands.

Online surveys and online blogs are extremely time consuming, but very safe options for a bit of pocket money. Online trading requires expertise so if you’re a specialist or very educated, this is the one for you.

Online casino is the most popular, because although gigantic jackpots are rare, poker and slots pay out thousands of times per day. You don’t need special training, and you usually get your deposit matched at the start to help you out.

It’s risky, of course. Any self-employment is risky. But as you can imagine, the economic and personal benefits can easily outweigh the risk – unless you already love your job and earn a few hundred thousand dollars per year.

But if you’re only trying to match a low wage from a job you hate – and you get to be your own boss and work your own hours – it’s a no-brainer.

How does it work?

We spoke to xtacy69 who we met on Europa Casino. She earns a living through playing slots, as they’re the least skilled option, and she only has to risk small amounts.

“When I lost my job a couple of months ago I was very anxious, but I immediately signed up to a survey site and a couple of online casinos that my friend recommended, and I’m actually earning more than I was in my previous job now. So are a couple of my other friends. We even meet up with our phones sometimes and do it together”.

If you’re 100% happy with your current job and colleagues, then it’s probably worth staying there for now (and tell us where you work!). But if there’s any room for improvement in your life, it’s at least worth a try. Remember, if you don’t try something different, you won’t ever see different results.

How do I start?

  • Sign up at Europa Casino or a similar casino, check out the free spins
  • Deposit and don’t forget to claim the R320 Welcome Bonus
  • Join the thousands of people making money at home

If you don’t love your job already, it’s time to transform your life.

if you’re not earning the money you need to live the live you want, it’s time to make a change.

It’s back to work on Monday — but is SA ready?

It’s back to work on Monday — but is SA ready?

Millions will be on the job, but many will now be without one

Eight-million people return to work tomorrow as SA attempts to salvage a battered economy, but it will be against a massive surge in Covid-19 infections.

Others have no jobs to return to. The restrictions have dealt a blow to many, with economists predicting that about 100,000 companies may not survive.

Business rescue practitioners and liquidation lawyers told the Sunday Times they had been inundated with inquiries since the lockdown began in March and warned of closures and liquidations that could cost as many as 7-million people their jobs.

Also top of mind this week was how the millions of workers who rely on public transport will get to work safely.

During a briefing yesterday, transport minister Fikile Mbalula said the Passenger Rail Association of SA (Prasa) was not ready to start tomorrow. It would resume only in July, “in the interests of safety”.

Fikile Mbalula said trains would run only in July.

Minibus taxis will operate but can carry only 70% of capacity, and buses just 50%.

On Friday, labour federation Cosatu said the absence of a proper transport plan was the biggest problem.

“We listen to all role players in the transport sector, they are not convincing. Prasa carries 8-million a day. You are not going to reopen the economy with Prasa not working,” said Cosatu’s Sizwe Pamla.

Another fear is that taxis will not comply with capacity regulations.

“Who are the marshals that are going to make taxis comply when they leave the rank?” Pamla asked.

“There is no enforcement mechanism. It’s almost like someone is praying that everybody will do what they said they will do.”

Stephen Thomson, of Thomson-Wilks attorneys, said inquiries about business rescue had trebled since the lockdown began in late March.

“When the courts allow the flow of summonses and applications in the week, we have a few liquidation applications in the wings,” he said.

“We also act for a lot of creditors who are poised to put in applications for liquidation.”

Fears of booze shortage as outlets brace for alcohol rush on Monday

Colin Strime of Fluxmans Attorneys said: “We have had a lot of queries and we are expecting a tsunami when things reopen.

“We have a constant range of questions from business owners who are obviously concerned, but denial is also a big factor for some of these directors. Many don’t want to face the reality that they will have to go insolvent,” he said.

Business rescue practitioner Kurt Knoop said he had seen a rise in companies reaching out for rescue.

“Some simply cannot be rescued; they are too far gone. Not because of their financial inability, it’s the long-term knock on trading,” he said.

Gym owner Tristan O’Brien has been forced to close five of his seven facilities, his 40 staff members facing unemployment.

“By the time I come back under level 1, I will be in the neighbourhood of R200,000 in arrears for rentals alone. There is no way that we will be able to survive with that kind of expense,” he said.

“I have my hands tied behind my back and now I need to tell my staff that I’m sorry, this is a forced closure, there is nothing I can do.”

George Nell, of Corporate Business Rescue, said while rent holidays had bought breathing space for cash-strapped firms, this would not last.

“Once the banks are pushed to their limits, they will exert pressure on landlords and then they will push the tenant.

“The shoe will begin to pinch in the months to come when debt has to be repaid,” he said.

Ballito salon owner Shelley Stegen was in tears over the shuttering this week of the business she built over two decades. Ten of her employees will lose their jobs.

“It’s heartbreaking when you realise that everything you have worked so hard for is gone in a flash and there’s nothing we can do,” she said.

Rune Ravnsborg, owner of technology firm Rebel Tech, said the lockdown had killed his 13-year-old company and the jobs of nine of its employees.

“We never envisioned that the lockdown would eliminate the need for e-commerce and when they announced that everything would be shut down for weeks, we knew we were in trouble,” he said.

Debt review firms also report being overwhelmed by requests for help.

Benay Sager, COO of DebtBusters, said it had dealt with an 83% increase in inquiries compared with May last year. This followed an 86% increase in April compared with the year before.

“Payment holidays have given people a buffer. Between July and September, a lot of these holidays will be over, and the true impact will be felt,” he said.

The Banking Association reports that more than 140,000 businesses have approached their banks for cash-flow relief or payment breaks on their debt. By May 23, it had helped 132,000 of these, providing R10.3bn in relief.

Martin Kingston, of Business for SA, said some sectors – including retail, mining and liquid fuel – were more ready for level 3 than others.

“Undoubtedly there will be individual instances of noncompliance … The operational procedures may be cumbersome and difficult to begin with as firms get into the rhythm,” he said.

“We believe it is important that the enforcement agencies have a common understanding of the regulations and how they should be applied. That has not been our experience to date, with many instances of inconsistent understanding of the regulations.”

Lumkile Mondi, a senior lecturer at the Wits School of Business and Economics, said a drop in disposable income would take a long-term toll on companies that were still trading.

“As people return to work the outlook will be very grim. Unfortunately for many, the state has moved too late to reopen society,” he said.

Political economist Daniel Silke said small businesses had “not received adequate protection from government”.

“In SA, many businesses are being left to their own devices. The inability of the UIF to process TERS [temporary employer/employee relief scheme] payments in May is an example of this,” he said.

While larger companies may be ready to reopen, small and medium-sized enterprises may not be able to comply with the government regulations.

Safety SA CEO Karl Campbell said: “Businesses that had sufficient capital to survive the lockdown will be more ready than those who are cash strapped. I will be happily surprised if all businesses will have sufficient PPE [personal protection equipment].”

Scientists warn ‘zombie fires’ may have reignited in the Arctic

Scientists warn ‘zombie fires’ may have reignited in the Arctic

The year 2019 was marked by fires unprecedented in scale and duration across large swathes of Siberia and Alaska

Dormant “zombie fires” scattered across the Arctic region — remnants of record blazes last year — may be coming to life after an unusually warm and dry Spring, scientists warned Wednesday.

“We have seen satellite observations of active fires that hint that ‘zombie’ fires might have reignited,” said Mark Parrington, a senior scientist and wildfire expert at the European Union’s Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service.

The hotspots, which have yet to be confirmed by ground measurements, are particularly concentrated in areas that burned last summer.

The year 2019 was marked by fires unprecedented in scale and duration across large swathes of Siberia and Alaska.

2018 was the fourth-hottest year in history, according to Nasa

Global temperature average rises, making 2018 the fourth-warmest year on record.

In June — the hottest on record, going back 150 years — the blazes are estimated to have released 50 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere, equivalent to Sweden’s annual emissions.

“We may see a cumulative effect of last year’s fire season in the Arctic which will feed into the upcoming season, and could lead to large-scale and long-term fires across the same region once again,” Parrington said.

The risk of wildfires increases with hot weather and low humidity, and Europe in particular has seen record temperatures for March and April this year.

“There has been tremendous warmth in the Arctic that will have led to a lot of drying, making the peat soils ripe to burn,” Mike Waddington, an expert on watershed ecosystems at McMaster University in Canada, told AFP.

“A zombie fire is a fire that continues to burn underground and then reignites on the surface after a period of time,” Waddington explained.

HOLDOVER FIRES

Embers deep in organic soils such as peat lands can spark into flames weeks, months and even years later.

Scientists monitoring Alaska have seen a similar phenomenon.

“Fire managers noted increasing occurrences where fires survive the cold and wet boreal winter months by smouldering, and re-emerged in the subsequent spring,” the Alaska Fire Science Consortium, grouping four universities and research institutes, reported in their Spring 2020 newsletter.

Since 2005, scientists on the ground in Alaska have identified 39 such “holdover fires”, as they are also called.

Matching these observations with satellite data, they found that most of the fires were too small — less than 11 hectares, and in most cases less than one — to be detected. But seven of them were visible from space.

Last year’s massive blazes were fuelled by record heat. Parts of Siberia and Alaska were up to 10 degrees Celsius warmer than normal for weeks at a time.

Temperatures in Greenland accelerated melting of the island’s kilometres-thick ice sheet, resulting in a net loss of 600 billion tonnes of ice mass for the year — accounting for about 40 percent of total sea level rise in 2019.

How to Have a Strong Marriage

How to Have a Strong Marriage

A strong marriage is basically determined by how the effort put in by both parties. To forge a strong marriage, a one-sided effort would just not work, this is because both parties must be ready to are compromises and in general, try to co-exist as best as they can. The first step to forging a strong marriage is to take a conscious decision to make things work. Upon taking this decision, you must then be ready for the process involved because there would definitely be times when your partner could see to be frustrating your efforts. It is in times like this that some qualities within you would have to come into play.

One of the determinants of a strong marriage, as crude, as it may sound is sex. When partners do not engage in sexual activities regularly, they could lose a physical connection which would invariably affect their intimacy. Physical contact remains a very important factor in forging a strong marriage. Similarly, research has shown that a few focused minutes of intimacy could result in more intimate moments than most couples experience. Therefore, this has to be a deliberate move on the parts of the couple. Furthermore, frequent intimate contact helps to forge trust and build lasting and true memories of great times too.

Furthermore, no matter how great you show in actions that you care a lot about your partner, it doesn’t hurt to actually put it in words too. Actions might not resonate in their memory but your words would definitely do. Beyond showing them that you actually care about them, you need to tell them of them often also. The little things that you probably used to do when you were dating such as leaving little notes detailing your love for your partner or some sweet poetry shouldn’t end just because you are hitched now. In actual fact, you should try to make a lifetime of doing these sweet little things that actually mean the most.

Notwithstanding how rosy a marriage might seem at first, there would always be a difference in opinion which could lead to conflict. The key to managing this, therefore, is learning the art of conflict resolution. Conflict resolution does not essentially mean that both parties get to have their way which is why you have to resort to compromise. In order to effectively manage conflict, both parties have to be patient and calm in order to understand each person’s perspective. From listening to each other’s points of view, you can then reach a decision or agreement which you are both fines with. However, one factor that couples should avoid as much as possible is the invitation of third parties to settle disputes; as adults, you should be mature enough to do this except on very rare occasions.

Finally, you would need tolerance in order to build a strong marriage. This is because your partner could do some really annoying things which you would just have to tolerate but ensure that you let them know exactly how you feel about their actions in order to not breed resentment.

5 Questions You Should Ask A Real Estate Agent

A real estate agent is one who stands in and represent another person, called clients, in property listing. His job is to ensure that he not only gets to sell or buy the property, as the case may be, but he also ensures that there are no rifts and issues after the listing must have been done.

Buying an apartment or selling a property is a delicate issue that should be done with the utmost care possible. The reason is of course not far-fetched; selling a house you have lived for many years is a hard thing to do or trying to buy a property you are not sure of what went wrong with the former owners or why the property is being listed. Hence, why you should be careful.

Definitely, if a house buying or selling will be possible, you need a real estate agent and you should be sure the agent is one that can help you. To ensure the agent is working in your best interest, there a few questions you should ask. His or her response will let you know what to do.

• Can I contact your most recent clients? When you ask a real estate agent to let you contact his or her recent clients, he will know you want to test his credibility. If he grumbles or reluctantly gives you the contacts without any solid reason for not wanting to give the contact, you can be sure he might not be the best person to represent you. Even if he gives you the contacts willingly, go ahead and reach out to the clients, relate with them and find out how the agent treated them and you can be sure they will let you know what to avoid in dealing with the client.

• How long have you been a real estate agent? Another thing you should find is how long your agent has been helping people sell or buy property. His or her answer to the question will let you know if he has the experience to help you or not. However, note that even the experienced real estate agents were once inexperienced.

• How long will it take to find my apartment or sell my property? Ensure you get a definite answer or at least a reasonable time frame from the agent. That way you will know if the agent worth your time or you should go ahead and look for another agent to help you.

• How much is the basic rent? Most agents tend to shy away from this question, however, ensure you stand your ground in getting a definite answer. Transparency is a virtue, ensure your agent has it.

• Can I see other listings you have? You should also find out if the agent has other listings so you can choose from varieties. If he has, then you can be sure you will get value for your money, if not you might be dealing with someone who isn’t do too well in the market.

These are the countries where expats are best paid

Can you imagine that today your boss calls your office and offers you a job in a foreign subsidiary of your company? There you can perform the same tasks for a considerably higher salary. Go ballot, right? Leave your environment, your friends, maybe your partner and your family for a while. However, it is a decision to which many people have given their yes in recent years, driven in part by the economic crisis and the recession of professional markets. If you are one of them, you should know that the experts endorse your choice: it is the best you have been able to do. If you are not, maybe you should give a couple of turns to this opportunity if you put it on a platter.

The financial multinational services HSBC has conducted a survey among more than 22,000 expatriates around the world, and two thirds of this figure receive higher income in the country of destination than in the country of origin. Of course, it is to be thought: we talk about extra benefits that reach an average of 21,000 dollars (almost 300K Rands) per year. The most juicy place to move is Switzerland, where those $ 21,000 are transformed into 61,000 (R 869,000), achieving an average salary for immigrants of up to 2.85M Rands per year in the Central European country.

What other interesting data does this study show? That 58% of respondents charge more for doing exactly the same job, and that much of the increase in revenue is due to the fact that in some countries less taxes are paid, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, according to the portal ‘Quartz’. If we return to Switzerland, the preferred destination, we discovered that more than 89% of the expatriates living there arrived more than five years ago, that only 9% worry that life there is more expensive than in their country of origin, and that only 1% is worried about the future of the local economy.

The best countries for expats

All are advantages, right? Especially in the case of women. The HSBC data show that the increase in income in the new destination is greater in them (27%) than in them (23%), and that they are more bilingual and have a better command of other languages ​​that they may have a lot to do with. The best destinations for expatriates are the United States, Hong Kong and, again, Switzerland. It is true that there is still a wage gap, since they receive an average of 112,000 dollars per year (R 1.6M), 42,000 less than men; also that they move to another country to improve their labor conditions less than them (27% vs. 47%).

If we compare the two lists, which countries are good for expatriates as well as for employers? China, the United States, India, Indonesia and Japan. And the best cities to start from scratch that better pay? Osaka and Tokyo, in Japan, and Sidney and Adelaide, in Australia.

Now, these are the ten countries to which you must move if you want to charge more for your work, according to the data collected in ‘Quartz’.

10. Australia
Average salary for expatriates: $ 126,000 (R 1.79M)

9. Japan
Average salary for expatriates: $ 127,000 (R 1.81M)

Average salary for expatriates: $ 128,000 (R 1.82M)

Average salary for expatriates: $ 162,000 (R 2.30M)

4. China
Average salary for expatriates: $ 173,000 (R 2.46M)

3. Hong Kong
Average salary for expatriates: $ 179,000 (R 2.55M)

2. United States
Average salary for expatriates: $ 185,000 (R 2.63M)

1. Switzerland
Average salary for expatriates: $ 203,000 (R 2.89M)

What is more important in love or money?

For these two young Chinese-American lovers who won an accumulated prize of R 7,3 Million ($ 500,000) in the online Casino, the money caused them great joy but ended in a big surprise for her.

The woman in New York sued her boyfriend and her family to the federal court, claiming that they agreed that they would share the winnings of the game when they bet. After the boyfriend took the money home, he changed his mind and wanted to keep the huge sum.

According to the federal court records in the Southern District of New York, Jasmine Zheng, 21, and Jaden Zheng, 26, were originally lovers, and often played online casinos seeking to improve their fortunes. In early February 2018, Jaden and Jasmine played the slots of a famous online casino and won around R7,3 Million.

Both had contributed with their money to play with the idea of ​​dividing profits equally. Once they won R7,3 Million ($ 500,000) and cashed the prize, they put it in a backpack and took it to the Jaden’s house in New Jersey.

After winning the money, they show a lot of cash in social networks. (Federal Court of the Southern District of New York)

Unexpectedly, Jaden began to change his mind, after having so much money in his possession and decided to break up with Jasmine, he deposited the money into his New Jersey family’s bank account. Jasmine said that when they both played, they used Jasmine’s game account, which means that when they finally won the prize, Jasmine would have to pay the corresponding taxes.

They uploaded their photos on social media showing how happy they were with those piles of $100 notes. In one of the pictures, Jaden wrote on his Facebook: “I finally did it! With 26 years of age I won R 7,3 Million!” According to the “New York Post”.

Zheng Jaden wrote on his Facebook: “I finally did it! I have $ 500,000 at the age of 26!” (Federal Court of the Southern District of New York)

“He was, like, talking to other girls, flirting with other girls and I could not handle that, and he said,” If you can not handle that, then we just broke up, and found another girlfriend immediately”. she said. Jasmine says she was disconsolate that the relationship ended so quickly.

In Todayposts, we managed to discover through the social media in which online Casino they won their prize of R 7,3 Million.

“Only good things have happened to me since then,” Jaden said, “and that’s why I share it with others, so they can also change their luck.”

These are the steps that Jaden indicated to us to play for free:

  1. He registered to the page by clicking on the link: Europa Casino

2. After entering as a new user, he received his R24,000 Free to earn money legally.

Unpublished Viral Wedding of Beautiful Woman with Ugly Man After He Wins $3M

In TodayPosts, we found out the following story that became viral after knowing that Darren, a man not very physically graceful and working as a security guard in a club, became a doubly lucky man by winning a prize of a lot of money and later marrying Kate, a very pretty woman. The question of many is whether Kate was married out of love or interest.

Darren had worked for many years in a high class club where he took care of the security of the place frequented by stars, beautiful models and very important celebrities. Every night, luxurious cars, beautiful models with high jewellery and amazing dresses paraded in front of his eyes. He knew that he would never become like the customers of the club with that ugly face and with the salary of security guard, unless he won an unexpected prize of lottery, but what he most wanted, besides having more money and little luxury, was to be able to marry one of those beautiful models and live a happy life.

“She was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen”

One night in the summer of 2017, Darren was working at the club as usual, watching all kinds of personalities circulate. In an unexpected moment, a blonde model appeared in the queue. He had never seen her before and sher penetrated his eyes like no other woman had before. He was stunned to see the attractive blonde with a charming smile, a penetrating gaze and her beautiful curves. “This was the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen,” Darren said.

The security guard became a man in love since that night, but the feeling was not mutual. Kate continued to frequent the club without paying much attention to Darren, but he did not give up trying to conquer her by inviting her to dinner and drinks after working hours. He also tried waiting for her outside the house with bouquets of flowers, sending gifts to her office and many other strategies that did not work out. The gorgeous Kate had no interest in him. “With this horrific look and also working as a security guard, how am I going to get her?!”, said Darren.

One day Kate spotted alone at the entrance of the club and he took the opportunity to try to break the ice by asking the security questions as he did the rest of the new customers who wanted to enter the Club for the first time. He now had the opportunity to ask even more questions, even more indiscreet and personal without her noticing his intentions. Darren had a good memory, so he registered the name of the blonde (Kate), her address and the workplace.

Since childhood his physical appearance was a source of ridicule in his school and laughs at home. They thought that no matter how good a person he was, he would not marry because of his physical appearance. He never lost hope and always wished to have a more stable life by stopping working at night to start a family.

With high spirits and having faith that one day he would marry Kate, Darren arranged all sorts of other alternatives to convince her to get involved with him. Of course, he made something clear. His conclusion was that the best way to conquer it would be to become one of the clients of the Club, with a lot of money and luxuries, but … how would he get it?

He started looking for all kinds of ideas on the internet on how to make a lot of money and in a short time. Navigating on Facebook with his mobilephone, he found a great deal of an online Casino that offered R 1000 after first deposit to play and win. Without thinking he clicked on the ad, registered in less than 1 minute. After making his first low deposit, he kept on playing with his Free R 1000, Darren prayed to become a lucky man and silence all mockers, but above all to achieve their dreams come true.

On the eighth play, while Darren closed his eyes thinking about Kate, a strange noise began to sound. There were golden flakes flying and stars floating on his small cell phone screen. Indeed, Darren became the winner of the game. He won the prize of the game whose sum of the pot amounted to nothing more than R 23,000,000.

A few days after receiving the prize transfer, Darren bought a luxury car and filled it with flowers and luxurious gifts, all for the woman of his dreams that he could not miss.

The next day he sent her home very early some flowers and some gifts but this time very expensive to start with a big impact. He waited for her outside his house with the car, wishing with all his heart that he would agree to take a ride with him. When Kate left and saw Darren in the car, she could not contain herself and accepted his proposal to have a ride.

After a few minutes driving =the car, Darren stopped in front of a luxury restaurant and hurried to open the door of Kate. In the middle of the meal he took out a diamond ring and with the most romantic words proposed marriage. Kate could not contain herself and confessed that from the first moment she saw something special in him, but never dared to take the step for what they will say.

Finally they celebrated the long-awaited wedding with great joy, especially by Darren and his family. A few days later they left for a honeymoon at a luxury hotel to celebrate the great moment of being together.

Secret Revealed by Casino Gambler of ‘no- Lose Betting Pattern’ which made him BANNED from Roulette Tables

Secret Revealed by Casino Gambler of ‘no- Lose Betting Pattern’ which made him BANNED from Roulette Tables

Balvinder Sambhi, 46, from Birmingham, claims two casinos have banned him because his technique is so successful

A gambler who claims he was banned from casinos after winning thousands of pounds has revealed his ‘no-lose’ roulette system which he says has seen him rake in the cash for years.

Balvinder Sambhi said Rainbow Casino in Birmingham barred him this month after he won using a secret betting pattern, which he has spent years perfecting.

He also claimed he was banned from Grosvenor Casino back nine years ago.

Both Rainbow Casino and Grosvenor Casino refused to comment when approached by BirminghamLive.

Now Balvinder has revealed his ‘two corner fraction betting system’ which he claims has made him tens of thousands of pounds in casinos throughout Europe.

Balvinder says his betting system is ‘no lose’

The system sees Mr Sambhi play eight numbers by placing a chip on two ‘corners’.

He waits 12 spins where the numbers 8, 9, 11, 12 AND 26, 27, 29, 30 do not win.

Then he places two chips on two corners, to ensure he wins if the ball lands in 8,9,11, 12 or 26, 27, 29 and 30.

He then waits another 12 losing spins with no winning appearance of those numbers, before repeating the bet – which he says offers him odds of 4.5/1.

Mr Sambhi, 46, said: ‘‘I’ve never lost with my system and the casinos don’t like that.

‘‘They don’t want winners in their premises – just losers.

“I even deliberately lose on some days to give the casino a little back so I am not seen as a constant winner.”

Mr Sambhi has written a book about his system called “Breaking The Roulette Wheel”.

He added: “Experts have always said that winning at roulette is just down to luck.

“But I’ve developed a system based on simple mathematics which helps me win every time I play.

“Some days I win a little and some days a lot. My biggest single daily win was just over £4,000.

‘‘But the fact is I was winning consistently and nobody has ever done that before with roulette.”

Mr Sambhi said he has made a “significant sum” of money since he started playing with his system back in 2006.

He claims to have visited casinos in Amsterdam and Frankfurt to win big on high-roller tables where large wins go undetected.

NO-LOSE BETTING SYSTEM: IN HIS OWN WORDS

  1. This is a two corners, eight number system
  2. Wait for 12 continuous losing spins for 8, 9, 11, 12 AND 26, 27, 29, 30 not to appear.
  3. Then I start placing bets on 2 corners – 8, 9, 11, 12 corner and 26, 27, 29, 30.
  4. Bet from 13-40 spins using betting chart.
  5. Any winning numbers appear I win. I stop and reset.
  6. I then wait again for 12 continuous losing spins for 8, 9, 11, 12 AND 26, 27, 29, 30 not to appear again and then I bet again.

Are you willing to try this betting advice?

We found that Europa Casino gives FREE 100% on your deposits up to R 38,000. It’s your turn to have a win better fortune.

South African ‘world’s oldest man’ wants to stop smoking

South African ‘world’s oldest man’ wants to stop smoking

Fredie Blom spent most of his life as a labourer – on a farm and in the construction industry – in apartheid South Africa but he might soon be recognised as the world’s oldest man, as the BBC’s Mohammed Allie reports from Cape Town.

Although he gave up drinking many years ago, Fredie Blom is still a regular smoker.

“Every day I still smoke two to three ‘pills’,” – local slang for tobacco tightly rolled into a cigarette-length piece of newspaper. “I use my own tobacco because I don’t smoke cigarettes.

“The urge to smoke is so strong. Sometimes I tell myself I’m going to stop but it’s just me lying to myself. My chest chases me to have a puff and I’m then forced to make a ‘pill’.

“I blame the devil for that because he’s so strong,” he says with mischievous grin.

Celebrity status

The first thing that strikes one when meeting the centenarian is how remarkably healthy and solid he still looks.

A tall, well-built man, he walks unaided, if understandably slowly, and besides being a touch hard of hearing, he has absolutely no ailments.

The former farm worker, who turned 114 on 8 May, is said to be the oldest person still alive although this is yet to be verified by the Guinness World of Records.

The title was last held by a Jamaican woman, Violet Moss-Brown, until 15 September 2017 when she died at the age of 117.

Guinness World of Records says it is still consulting genealogists to confirm the next holders of the “world’s oldest man and woman” titles.

Mr Blom, who sports a slightly unkempt handlebar moustache and grey stubble beard, doesn’t have any special secret for his longevity.

“There’s only one thing – it’s the man above [God]. He’s got all the power. I have nothing. I can drop over any time but He holds me,” is his response when I ask him what keeps him going.

“I feel very healthy, I’m good. My heart is strong but it’s only my legs that are giving in – I can’t walk the way I used to,” he says, speaking in Afrikaans with a loud and clear voice.

He has inevitably acquired a celebrity status that has seen a constant stream of people ranging from locals to provincial government ministers coming to visit him in his modest home in Cape Town.

He said it’s a great feeling to know that people care. For his birthday, a local supermarket and the provincial department of social development presented him with big birthday cakes.

Worked into his 80s

Janetta, Mr Blom’s wife of 48 years who is 29 years his junior, says her husband has been remarkably healthy and has only been to hospital once – many years ago when he had a problem with one of his knees.

She reveals that many people initially doubted her husband’s age.

“There were questions about it when he applied for his identity document several years ago, but his niece went to East London to get his birth certificate which provided the proof that was needed.”

Sihle Ngobese, spokesperson of the West Cape Dept of Social Development, told me that the fact that the government had issued Mr Blom with an identity document that records his date of birth as 8 May 1904 is proof enough for them.

Blom reminisces about his younger days spending time hunting birds using a catapult

It was at an early age that Mr Blom left his birthplace of Adelaide, a small rural town in the Eastern Cape, to move to the bright lights of Cape Town. Because he didn’t attend school, he is unable to read and write.

Instead his eyes twinkle when recalling one of his favourite childhood pastimes.

“When I got up in the morning I loved to go out and look at the world. I would often take [a] catapult and shoot the little birds – I felt proud when I looked at my belt and it was lined with the birds that I had shot.”

His first job was as a farm labourer before moving to a company that installed pre-cast concrete walls known locally as vibracrete.

“We went all over Cape Town to install walls. I worked there for a long time until my retirement when I was already into my 80s,” he says.

Janetta says her husband struggles to put on his shoes

Living in a gang-infested, crime-ridden area like Delft, it’s not hard to see why Mr Blom believes the prevalence of crime is the biggest change he’s observed in his lifetime.

“Life was much more peaceful. Those were good times. There were no murders and robberies. Nobody got hurt, there was nothing of the sort.

“You could lie on your bed all day and when you woke up, everything – all your possessions – would still be there. Now it’s all changed.”

As for politics and the change from the days when South Africa was under white minority rule, Mr Blom is completely oblivious. “I worked on the farm – there was no time for anything else but to do your work. We only heard fleetingly about politics.”

This admission may seem surprising but it is actually a common view among farm workers and labourers. Many of them, like Mr Blom, were illiterate, and lived a very secluded life.

Although black workers lived and toiled under harsh conditions on the almost entirely white-owned farms, they were generally prevented from mobilising, let alone joining trade unions or political groups.

‘Nonsense TV’

His wife told me that he doesn’t eat anything special. He likes to have meat for every meal but also eats a lot of vegetables.

Mr Blom is still strong enough to wash and dress himself although, according to his wife, he struggles to put on his shoes.

He also sometimes needs the assistance of his grandson to shave.

For someone who normally started his day at 4.30am in his working years, Mr Blom now rises much later and doesn’t do much around the house.

“I can’t do anything – I can’t even get on a ladder any longer. I just sit around. I don’t have time for the nonsense that’s on TV.”

He would rather sit outside his house and roll up another piece of newspaper and give in, once again, to the devil’s temptation.

South African Online Game CEO Fired After a 9 Million ZAR Mistake

South African Online Game CEO Fired After a 9 Million ZAR Mistake

If you live in South Africa and want to earn some extra money easily, then this may be the most exciting article you’ll ever read.

Trusted online casino operator Europa Casino Inc. (NASDAQ: CSNRM) has made a costly mistake after launching their online casino in South Africa that caused the company to lose hundreds of thousands of euros to its players.

This glitch has already lost them close to 8 Million South African Rands (about $616,000 USD) in free spins and cash prizes and the loss is going to continue to increase until when their new customer agreement takes effect.

What Exactly Happened?

Michael McGee, an experienced casino player from Pretoria who was one of the first players to discover the loophole explains, Europa Casino new promotional campaign for new customers in South Africa was supposed to give up to 7000 ZAR (about $540 USD) of additional free credits to all new customers that deposited at least 130 ZAR to their account. Unfortunately for them, they had a wording error in the agreement so each new customer can get up to 24,000 ZAR of free credits based on the amount of their first deposit.

As a result, people are using the free credit and hitting jackpots that are costing Europa Casino South Africa heavily. What is making matters even worse for the company is that there is no way for them to fix it due to the strict gambling laws in South Africa which require casino companies to notify at least 7 days in advance before changing their terms and conditions. So getting these bonuses for free is completely legal.”

Thousands of Winners

One company’s mistake can be incredibly profitable for everyone else. One lucky woman, 26-year-old Karen Hammond from Durban, registered with Europa Casino South Africa and claimed the free credit and after using just 350 ZAR for spins she won the progressive jackpot of 1 Million South African rand (about $77,000 USD). “I used to dread waking up each morning and going to a job that I hate, all to just be able to cover my rent and bills, now I have so much freedom.”

New CEO

Europa Casino’s CEO in South Africa, Stuart Rogers was fired immediately after the incident and the new manager Phillip Halstead has a lot of fixing to do. Halstead responded to our inquiry via email, “This has been a very unfortunate and costly mistake for the company but we have to learn from it and move on. The South African market is very important to us and we are here to stay even after this costly error for the company.”

Here is how South African people are claiming their free money:

1. They sign up on the Europa Casino South Africa page

2. They will make a small deposit of at least 130 ZAR and then use the free credits they receive to win money without a risk of losing and completely legally

Fate! This Guy Saw Himself in One of His Fiancé’s Childhood Photos…Taken 10 Years Before They Met

Fate. Does it exist, or is life a series of coincidences that sometimes seem spectacular? For recently engaged couple Verona Koliqi and Mirand Buzaku, it seems as if the two were fated to be together. The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged this past August.

 

Okay, that’s not the fate part. Recently, the two were looking through some of Verona’s family photos when Mirand noticed something peculiar in the background of one snapshot. The picture, from a family vacation to Montenegro, shows Verona and some family members on the beach. Mirand looked closely and recognized none other than himself floating by on a raft in the background! Keep in mind this is years before the two ever met.

After talking with both of their families, Verona and Mirand confirmed that they were both vacationing at the same place at the same time all those years ago. What a lovely and incredible story!
