101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 02, 2024, 05:00:57 AM
-snip-
Barcelona is most likely going to win the second runner up this season and i don't want to believe otherwise because i believe Barcelona has been able to show in recent times that they are able to maintain the second position on the table without fear of loosing it as their performance towards the w d of the season got improved that if they were in this form before now, they would have been able to pose a threat to Madrid.
Looks like that will be the case, there are only 5 remaining matches left. And the difference in points with Girona is actually not that far, only 2. However, it is possible that Barcelona's opponents will also be able to handle them well in the final match. In fact, it's no different from being runner up or number 3. Because they are both in the qualifying round for the Champions League next season. But of course this is also related to prestige. How is that possible, Barcelona, not only behind Real Madrid, but also other clubs. That's why Xavi definitely wants them to be at least runners up.


Both teams are quite a good match with encouraging performances. Barcelona are already having their second position on the table, but who knows how long it may continue since Barcelona is to face Girona in their next fixtures. Looking from stats, on their last two matches played, Barcelona doesn't have a good stats against Girona but I believe with the help of Xavi they may record a good win over Girona. If Barcelona can win Girona, which I strongly believe they will, then their is every conviction that Barcelona has secured the second position and a runner up, surpassing Girona with 5pts.

Barcelona is still quite far from their best in a league where they should be better off normally. They haven't been above the 90 points mark for a while now. That's the difference this year as Real Madrid hasn't been dropping as many points as they did last season. If they wan to be ready to compete with Real Madrid in the coming years, they will need some more top class players. Guys like Lamine Yamal could make difference very soon. It's once again the case that nobody really understands whether Barcelona will be able to invest larger sums of money into new players, but I guess they can't go crazy at all and instead will have to try to improve their team with maybe one ore two players from the transfer market while recruiting more of their own talents.
Barcelona have had enough competition with Real Madrid in La Liga last season and as a result of the competition Barcelona won the title by defeating Real Madrid in La Liga last season. The team Barcelona had last season was not much different from the team this season. I would say Barcelona have a slightly stronger team this season than last season but still Barcelona can't compete with Real Madrid.
Last season Real Madrid had Karim Benzema but this season they don't have Karim Benzema but still Real Madrid team performance is great and because of great performance they are very close to win La Liga title this season. 

If Barcelona sign some of the best players to their club next season, I won't say that they will beat Real Madrid because there is a good chance of Mbappe coming to Real Madrid next season, but Real Madrid will become a stronger team next season.

It is a fact that progress in life is not possible without taking risks. Taking risks may result in loss of money but that loss will help you achieve good things in the future. Two people who earn the same amount of money but one person believes in saving and the other person believes in increasing money by using money. Between these two people, at the end of a certain period of time, it will be seen that one person has been able to make a lot of progress in life only because of his propensity to take risks, but the other person is limited only by his own capital. If everyone was not inclined to take risks, there would not be so many big businessmen in the world today. Our thinking should be to build a business with the money we earn from the current employment so that in the future I can hire others to work in my business. So taking risks is the only way to achieve success in life.
Besides the many entrepreneurs who emerged by taking risks, there are also many who became homeless because of taking risks in search of greater rewards. So before accepting risks to invest or do anything, we need to be aware of what we will get and what we will face if we fail. And risk acceptance will depend on each person's circumstances, we should not be too quick to criticize those who do not take risks. If you are a high-income earner and born into a rich family, there is no reason to take risks, but if you are poor, taking risks is a must if you want to have a good life like the rich.
I just want to give you an example that all the big rich people in the world and the businesses they own have not become popular worldwide so easily. You will see in their lives that they have struggled a lot in life and taken a lot of risks in life due to which they are in a much better position at this time. Whether rich or poor, everyone wants to expect a little better position from their position. Just as a poor person wants to get out of his poverty to live a better life, so a rich person wants to move from his position to a better position. Rich people increase their business by taking risks to increase their money, while poor people want to change their position by taking the maximum risk with the money they have. One may fail to change position many times but risking money has the possibility of changing one's position but those who do not risk money have no such possibility.

We can get  a positive impact in gambling when we are Inoue home alone . If we have  and illness and advised by the doctor that we need to hide ourselves in public then the best thing to do  is playing and gamble in some online casino everytime we want to gamble. but also w exist remember that gambling is one of the best exercise of our heart cause through gambling  there's a time that our heart beat faster when the crucial time we have in our play.
Of course ,Gambling can be a good helper for a lonely person because if he doesn't have a companion or partner to spend his time with, he can spend his lonely time gambling.
Also, one thing I can't accept is that I don't understand how gambling can be helpful for people with heart problems. A heart patient may be happy if he gets a profit from gambling but if he gambles with huge losses then he is more likely to develop heart problems. In that case, whether he can control himself is also a matter of consideration.
However, for patients who are told to avoid public contact, gambling can be an important means of passing the time. For those patients, gambling is an important way to pass the time of solitude.
I think gambling should never be played thinking that gambling will cure my loneliness or gambling will only give me fun but we should take gambling seriously and gamble seriously. If you feel lonely you can go on a trip or you can play video games as well as spend time with friends, I don't think you need to gamble to get rid of your loneliness. If you gambled to relieve your loneliness or thought about gambling to relieve your depression, but at that time you gambled and lost, your depression will increase. Gambling will not keep you mentally and physically healthy because gambling will not only bring results in your favor but also against you and when it goes against you, you will naturally feel a little bad mentally. So gambling should be played carefully and should be given utmost importance.

in as much as gambling is also considered a source of earning by winning a bet, it cannot guarantee that you'll be lucky forever, and the idea of gambling with one's last or when you are on the verge of being broke, it's not advisable that you should gamble with such money, except the only explanation is that the person is actually addi ted to gamble, because I see no reason to take such risk. for a truth, gambling is enjoyed when you don't have any pressure around you.
Just as it is true that luck will not always be on your side, it is also true that if you gamble to the best of your ability, the outcome is much more likely to go in your favor. We always say that gambling is directly dependent on luck but gambling is not directly dependent on luck but here winning or losing depends a lot on one's gambling strategy. How much money you should gamble, when you should stop gambling or how much risk you should take will all depend on your gambling strategy. If you don't care about all these and gamble with your own money only depending on your luck, then that is not a proper gambling strategy and gambling with this strategy you can lose everything in one gamble. So in every gamble depend on your own skill instead of directly relying on luck and hopefully the result will be very much in your favor.

Real Madrid vs Bayern Munich (UCL leg 1 at Allianz arena)
Real Madrid done spectacular job and surprisingly out of now where level the important match by 2-2 unexpectedly at Bayern home ground which will be a decent edge for them in upcoming second league at Santiago Bernabeu as because mostly they were being damage by CR7 so after his departure I wasn't expecting such vital performance for them especially when thier opponent have upper hand on them and they were ahead according to number of shots, passes etc but still they make things level and now look like in safe hands because I believe they will easily manage things at home ground.
Anyway I am still in shock how Carlo Ancelotti mange league and now UCL despite some of thier important player were still injured but his technique make his way at any trouble situation

Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between the two teams had equal performances and the first leg was a draw. We saw a tough competition in the first leg match, against Real Madrid, Bayern Munich tried their best to win this match but due to some mistakes at the end of the match, the result of this match did not go in their favor. In this Champions League semi-final match, we have noticed the extreme excitement of Real Madrid fans. The fans finally supported Real Madrid and Real Madrid did not disappoint the fans. Vinicius Junior in particular single-handedly saved the team from defeat in this match. Vinicius Junior managed to score two of the two goals which led to Vinicius Junior being named Man of the Match in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final.

107  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones on: April 30, 2024, 07:22:50 AM
I have lived in many communities and some States or regions in my country and there are some communities I went and I discovered that women are more productive by going to farm and other daily activities to provide food in the family than men. While the male sons and fathers are busy playing bet with Checkers Game and popular known in my locality "Draft Board Game" and bet on "Whot Card Game". And their.wives would go to farm or fishing to feed the families. Till date those things are common in the places I have visited in the country, mostly the elderly ones who the young once are busy using the casino centers and websites to play their games.

The elderly ones are still busy playing games with the traditional methods so most of us didn't notice that they are gambling but they bet with money and that has become automatically a gambling habit while the younger generation is using the new methods of online and casino Halls. Mostly of this elders would left home early morning to the draft games centers and stay there till evening. Playing games with one another. In most time they use places that sells drinks and smoking things like cigarettes and others. Those places are always busy with elderly people.

Do you see such elderly people in your country? Or is it only in Africa? Is the younger ones play gamble more than the elders?
Not only in my country but in every country usually people who are young and above are mostly gamblers. People of any age can be involved in gambling when they learn about online gambling platforms in various ways or when they have free time they try to gamble and there are some gamblers who take gambling as their profession. I have also heard that after retiring from his job, the working man gambles to take care of his children. Also I have heard that all members of the same family are gambling at the same time so it is hard to say for sure which age group gambles more but from my point of view I would say that young people tend to gamble more.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Blogs and Forums. Additional Features in Online Casinos on: April 30, 2024, 05:30:42 AM
There are online casinos that have a blog where their clients or potential clients can turn, to read gambling related articles without leaving the website. There are also online casino websites that have its own forum for their clients like a community interaction.

In addition, there are the ones that do not have any of these features. While  some of us may just want to sign up and start playing immediately, it is not so for others. Do you by chance consider these features when assessing and selecting which casinos to join and play on?
Most of the things that we avoid is that while making an account or after entering the account, there are certain conditions or rules that we must read but at that time we just ignore them. If it says that you have read the terms and conditions then we just tick it and go to the next step. But it is very important for everyone to read these topics. We already waste a lot of time so when this important time comes if we don't read such conditions just to save time and go to the next round then if there is any related problem later on but we can't blame any casino company because they have already done this before signing up. We must read all the conditions that a casino company offers and read all the conditions that the conditions of the casino site are acceptable to us.

Barcelona tried hard to win this match, of course because Xavi's plan had the potential to fail due to the good performance shown by Valencia in defense and counter attacks. Barcelona have now equalized, but they are aiming to win by dominating attacks and possession of the ball. Valencia will only defend and counterattack when Barcelona loses the ball, but even that is very dangerous.

Barcelona still has a chance to win this match because they really tried through the many opportunities they created. It's true, currently Barcelona is having a hard time scoring a third goal because of Valencia's good defense, but I'm sure they will score soon.
Xavi Hernandez have always persuade his players to do their best because it's never easy watching them becoming the very best team against oppositions. Xavi Hernandez should encourage his players because they're having slim chances of winning games when it comes to average teams. Valencia was leading but due to the Red card given to their goal keeper before the end of first halve, that was the beginning of their weakness. Barcelona won their game against Valencia. It was a tough night at Camp Nou because the visitors came prepared and deliver an excellent job towards the hosts.


I disagree. Xavi is not the best coach ever. He is a pretty weak guy who got lucky that Barcelona is more or less part of his name. As a player, he was an amazing midfielder, but I never saw him as someone who is a good coach. I see how a lot of people are celebrating him, but please compare him to Gurdiola. No way would he ever be able to be mentioned in one breath with Guardiola. Xavi is the worst case, but sadly they need him.
Xavi is a good manager and he has been in charge of Barcelona for a long time although his controversial decisions in some cases surprised us but still considering Barcelona's performance at the moment we have to accept that Xavi has managed to bring this team from a bad situation to a good one. Even though Xabi is a good manager, it would be foolish to compare this manager with legendary managers because some managers are far ahead of others in terms of categories. Pep Guardiwala, Zinedine Zidane, Luis Enrique and other managers have a different place and are definitely the best managers of all time. He has not been in charge for long so if we trust this Spanish and former Barcelona footballer Xabi he will surely develop his coaching career.

It all depends on the will of each individual which is caused by different factors that can cause exposure to gambling, including environmental factors. Not all gambling beginners are exposed to gambling addiction, but quite a few individuals are more susceptible to addiction than others due to considering gambling as an activity that can make money.
You can only prevent this by building communication that leads to your level of concern for the Beginner, such as giving him insight into the negative impacts that can occur if he becomes addicted, such as social, financial, mental, environmental and psychological impacts. Remember, your position is only to try to prevent them from the effects of addiction, but you cannot force them to avoid gambling completely because every decision starts from the desires of each individual.


When a new gambler starts gambling, he himself does not realize when he has become addicted to gambling. What you have said is quite correct that a new gambler never starts gambling to get addicted to gambling rather he only gambles to win and at some point he gets addicted to gambling. But we can caution a new gambler about gambling at his own risk. For example, a new gambler who asks me about gambling, I must tell him about the positive and negative aspects of gambling and also share my own strategies to prevent him from becoming addicted to gambling. Again, if we see any gamblers who are gambling on the wrong path, we can show them the right path at that time, but many people can gamble without becoming addicted to gambling.
You are correct, newly gamblers don't know what's up in the gambling words that's why some of them are gradually becoming addicted to gamble. On the other side of making new gamblers not to become addicted to gamble, I think telling them about the disadvantages of gambling might be better, some new gamblers might because scared and don't want to lose more than what they can afford to lose so they can think of stopping or making a decent decision that can make them not to get addicted to gamble. If we can hear some terrible stories about those that are addicted to gamble and after everything they manage to regain them sense's, we and the New beginners in the gambling world would try to gamble safely.
When a new gambler starts gambling, the positive aspects of gambling are more acceptable to him than the negative aspects of gambling and he only thinks about the positive aspects of gambling. Thinking about the positive aspects of gambling he plans to gamble but when he actually gambles his results are not favorable and then he realizes that gambling is not as simple as he thought. Most of the gamblers when they gamble in real terms, the whole concept of gambling that he had before gambling changes after gambling and then he realizes reality. 

Before a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, it is possible to give him correct information about gambling, but when the gambler becomes addicted, he will only consider his decision acceptable and what others advise him at that time will not be acceptable to him.

Ambulance - Campaign

Hello everyone.

I'm contacting you again because we've been approached again to see if we could organise a few more ambulances.

The last campaign with the emergency vehicles was so great that some Doctors in the Ukraine have joined forces and are now travelling across the Country to visit and provide medical care to people in the Ukraine who need medical help but are no longer able to drive to a Hospital due to destroyed infrastructure or are no longer able to do so themselves.
As the ambulances are of a very high standard, almost like a mobile operating theatre, even very difficult cases can be treated, which also benefits the soldiers and the Military, who have also asked for a Vehicle.

We, who have been organising aid transports and materials of all kinds for the local people for almost two years now, are of course doing everything we can to make this happen again.
As we have been in very close contact with the Military and also with some aid Organisations on the ground from the very beginning and we now know each other personally, we know that everything we put together here will arrive there and go into the right hands.

So everything, and we really mean everything, goes one-to-one into the Projects and help for the People in Ukraine.

However, as this is beyond our financial means, we are now more dependent on external support, as this is something very different and not easy.

Maybe you can imagine to support us in this local Project, it does not have to be a lot, everyone a little bit as you can but together we are strong.

Feel free to advertise it and there will certainly be a report like with the other projects.
Unfortunately, such help is still seen as very critical, which also leads to hostility etc. so be careful when you ask, we have already experienced a lot here.

But I still believe that we should not stand idly by, especially as it is ultimately about Europe, our homeland, and the People in Ukraine who are like you and me, already have very little and now everything has been destroyed, so we should help those who are not so well off.

I would like to say thank you and hope for a lot of support so that we can give some people some peace and above all hope.

With this in mind, everyone stay healthy and if you have any questions, just write to me, please

Greetings Tim

PS: I very much hope that we can live together peacefully again at some point, but this does not look like it at the moment, see the new problem Israel and Iran all the more we have to stick together. Those who are doing well should perhaps help the poorer ones to restore a balance and give the poorer ones a little hope again. Thank you
I have helped in all these humanitarian causes before and will try to help in the nice initiative taken by the forum to help. Many members have posted in this section if each of them can donate money according to their own ability but the total amount of donation will be enough though donation is personal matter. In such humanitarian work we should try to help with such thoughts. Now we may be helping others but there may come a time when we need help from others. If we think about the danger of others through ourselves, then surely we can donate as much as we can to such humanitarian work. Hope this initiative will be successful with our support.

Investing in Bitcoins by selling property, investing in Bitcoins by mortgaging your home, borrowing money from others, investing in Bitcoins, but there is no need to do these because the future of the investment is uncertain. Let's say you invest with a house mortgage and the person who gave you money in return for the house mortgage gave you a certain time to make the financial plan, but what do you do when the investment does not make a profit during that time? At that time, there will be a lot of pressure on your head, you will want to pay the person any way you can and when you see a loss in your investment, you will not want to sell your investment, which means you will be in a lot of trouble. So there is no need to invest by selling land or foreclosing the house but we should invest with the amount of money we can afford to lose and the amount of money we have.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: April 28, 2024, 04:36:40 AM

If I understand his statements correctly, he is not going to extend his initial contract, but he revoked his decision to terminate the contract early. So in concrete terms he will stay until 2025 and if you think about it, an extension wouldn't have made any sense for any of the parties involved. Xavi is going for that year, I guess he sees potential in the team especially with the two younger guys who are playing as if they were part of the team for half a decade by now. And at the end of the next season he is in the position to choose whatever he wants. He might get offers from other clubs and at the same time, if  he plays a successful season, he can ask for a better contract with Barcelona. But still I think it is like kindergarten to announce you are going to step down because you freak out at a press conference (he also said that there is no going back from that decision) and now everyone is friends again.


From what I have heard from various news and rumours, Xavi is no longer interested in extending his contract with Barcelona. And so far this seems to be the most convincing.

Xavi became Barcelona's coach at a time when the team was in dire straits. Koeman turned this team into rubble. Barcelona had to fight hard to win even against weaker teams. After Xavi became the coach, Barcelona's performance became much more stable and Barcelona also won the La Liga title. Barcelona had a fantastic performance last season. But this season the condition of the team is not good. Their performance is erratic.

Barcelona must now rebuild the team. This squad is neither strong nor experienced enough. Barcelona need a more experienced coach as well as bigger funds to strengthen the squad.

Couldn't agree more, Koeman was a huge mistake and I never liked him in any regard whatsoever. I didn't like his coaching, I didn't like his interviews and I didn't like his attitude altogether. He made weird player choices and he never really fully connected with the team, at least that was my perception. But anyway, part of the truth is that the team fell apart and it wasn't possible for them to replace all these stars that worked so well hand in hand. When you lose Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar, Messi, Suarez, and many others that were an integral part of this amazing team when they were in their prime, I think any coach taking over would have an incredibly hard time to be as successful as before. Therefore, Xavi was doing ok, but I don't consider him one of the best coaches despite winning La Liga.
If Barcelona appoints a new manager to their club and if they can give the new manager financial freedom then maybe the manager can do well in the transfer market by signing several players with Barcelona but it is very difficult for a new manager to do well with the current team. Xabi is a Spanish footballer and he is a former Barcelona player and he has been able to perform quite well with this team. All the players under him are very used to Xabi's tactics, so if a new manager is appointed now, the team's performance may be worse because of that manager's different tactics. Maybe considering all these aspects, Barcelona extended the contract with Xabi for one more season. Although the contract period has been extended till 2025, this period can be extended later.

First of all, this shouldn't be happening in the first place, xavi  shouldn't be leaving Barcelona now because he is the man best fit for the job, ok let look at how Barcelona have performed in the past two seasons under his leadership as the manager, they are not that bad the way the media made it looks like, considering the fact that most of the players bought are not what he as a coach really wanted, but since they were free transfer,  he just have to accept it, because that's what the club can afford, they actually can't go for the kind of players he wanted due to lack of funds.

But if truly he is leaving the club, I think their are some good coaches out of jobs now that can coach this Barcelona team, someone like hamsick flick, Thomas tuchel at the end of this season, but where the major problem will be, is will they going to accept a low quality players that mostly comes with free transfer? Or will they accept the financial troubles Barcelona are going through, and decide to work with it?  But to be honest, it's not a good news for Barcelona if xavi leave at the end of the season.
If you are doing well and the team under you is always doing well then the media will praise you but when the team under you performs a bit poorly then the media will forget all your past contributions and they will not think twice to criticize you. Barcelona certainly didn't pay too much attention to the various media reports and stuck to their decision which is why they extended Xabi's contract. Barcelona have had managers like Luis Enrique and Pep Guardiola at one time, but none of them are sitting down to take charge of Barcelona, so there is no doubt that Xabi is the best manager in their absence. Just because one season has been a bit bad, past contributions cannot be forgotten. Next season, if some players can be changed, then Xabi can prove himself to be the best again.

Liverpool had a great chance to go second in the points table with the same number of points as Arsenal but Liverpool could not capitalize on that opportunity. Last match Liverpool played against West Ham and Liverpool last match against West Ham drew the result due to which they got only one point in this match. West Ham is a very strong team of the English Premier League but it is not like that but still Liverpool could not beat this easy opponent. If Liverpool miss such an easy match then how will they win the title this season. This team has done well in the early part of the season and now is the most important time of the season but it is definitely a failure of Liverpool as a team that they are not at their best at this time.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 27, 2024, 05:14:42 AM

There are some differences between rich and poor gamblers. Some rich gamblers are not very greedy for money while poor gamblers are more greedy for income. Poor gamblers spend more time in gambling. There are many gamblers who cannot afford to lose but still put that money into gambling. A poor gambler usually spends a lot of time in gambling for little money. But that tendency is less common among wealthy gamblers. A poor gambler doesn't always bet with less money in gambling some times they try more to bet more because the poor have a greater tendency to get rich through gambling than the rich.

I doubt that poor gamblers spend more money in gambling than rich gamblers, but if you are talking about the types of people who are into gambling, I would agree that the majority of people who are into gambling are poor and middle-class people. The number of rich gamblers is very low compared to poor gamblers, but the rich gamblers really spend a huge sum of money each time they are out for gambling. Although some poor people feel so greedy and deeply inquisitive about making a quick money, they end up staking their last penny on gambling games, which they will still lose. 
Yes, in some ways poor people have an idea of ​​wealth and it is not correct. Some people think that gambling is the means by which they can achieve this, but they are wrong. I also think that they have the wrong priorities in life and borrow money from everyone, only luck has turned to them. Still, you need to value your health, loved ones and family more. Gambling should be on the secondary level, and not on the primary level like many addicted gamblers. The poor especially should not put it first, otherwise they may simply be left without food, and a hungry person can do a lot of bad things because of hunger.
Anyone from rich, poor or middle class can take risk in gambling. Risk depends mainly on the propensity to take risks on money. Even if one is poor, one can risk money. A poor person may lag behind a rich person financially but a poor person may be ahead of a rich person in terms of risk-taking propensity. We may think that those who have sufficient financial resources do not care if some of their financial resources are lost, which is why they take more financial risks. In this case I would say that everyone is rich from his own position, like a poor man has $100 to gamble with but $100 is the maximum and he must want to keep this $100 safe and secure. On the other hand, a rich person who bet 10K dollars in a gambling game would definitely not want to lose this 10K dollars but he would want to gain from it. That is why every one is rich from every position and every one thinks of winning by securing money from his position

If I understand his statements correctly, he is not going to extend his initial contract, but he revoked his decision to terminate the contract early. So in concrete terms he will stay until 2025 and if you think about it, an extension wouldn't have made any sense for any of the parties involved. Xavi is going for that year, I guess he sees potential in the team especially with the two younger guys who are playing as if they were part of the team for half a decade by now. And at the end of the next season he is in the position to choose whatever he wants. He might get offers from other clubs and at the same time, if  he plays a successful season, he can ask for a better contract with Barcelona. But still I think it is like kindergarten to announce you are going to step down because you freak out at a press conference (he also said that there is no going back from that decision) and now everyone is friends again.


From what I have heard from various news and rumours, Xavi is no longer interested in extending his contract with Barcelona. And so far this seems to be the most convincing.

Xavi became Barcelona's coach at a time when the team was in dire straits. Koeman turned this team into rubble. Barcelona had to fight hard to win even against weaker teams. After Xavi became the coach, Barcelona's performance became much more stable and Barcelona also won the La Liga title. Barcelona had a fantastic performance last season. But this season the condition of the team is not good. Their performance is erratic.

Barcelona must now rebuild the team. This squad is neither strong nor experienced enough. Barcelona need a more experienced coach as well as bigger funds to strengthen the squad.

Couldn't agree more, Koeman was a huge mistake and I never liked him in any regard whatsoever. I didn't like his coaching, I didn't like his interviews and I didn't like his attitude altogether. He made weird player choices and he never really fully connected with the team, at least that was my perception. But anyway, part of the truth is that the team fell apart and it wasn't possible for them to replace all these stars that worked so well hand in hand. When you lose Iniesta, Xavi, Neymar, Messi, Suarez, and many others that were an integral part of this amazing team when they were in their prime, I think any coach taking over would have an incredibly hard time to be as successful as before. Therefore, Xavi was doing ok, but I don't consider him one of the best coaches despite winning La Liga.
If Barcelona appoints a new manager to their club and if they can give the new manager financial freedom then maybe the manager can do well in the transfer market by signing several players with Barcelona but it is very difficult for a new manager to do well with the current team. Xabi is a Spanish footballer and he is a former Barcelona player and he has been able to perform quite well with this team. All the players under him are very used to Xabi's tactics, so if a new manager is appointed now, the team's performance may be worse because of that manager's different tactics. Maybe considering all these aspects, Barcelona extended the contract with Xabi for one more season. Although the contract period has been extended till 2025, this period can be extended later.

Yes yes, it is definitely not going to be highly likely that Tottenham can steal points from Manchester City, especially when you see how they played against Brighton now. It was a brutal performance. But that is why I said that this is the one game where there is at least a chance that Manchester City could lose some points. I don't see that possibility in those other games although Manchester City has had some problems against weaker teams before. Not so much because they couldn't handle the pressure, but because they just couldn't score that door opener goal. Tottenham is more like a team that seeks the action whereas most of the other teams are mostly busy defending against Man City.
Manchester City are always ready to take pressure and Manchester City will do well with pressure. Considering that Manchester City has been eliminated from the Champions League tournament, they will not want to lose the Premier League title in any way. 

Since Manchester City is still in a strong position in the points table of the English Premier League, they still have a good chance of winning the title. While Liverpool are on the title track, moving from first to second in the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult as the season draws to a close. Arsenal are now performing consistently and Arsenal are ahead of Manchester City but the problem is that Arsenal have played one match more than Manchester City. Maybe when Manchester City plays the same number of matches as Arsenal, maybe Manchester City will hold the number one position in the points table.

Definitely, you can't do your trading activity as a lifetime activity. But the profits that you will get from it, you can extend it to your lifetime by investing it in business or assets that will give you source of income later on. As the actual activity is a very tedious one, no one can do it for long time.
There are many such traders who have taken up trading as a hobby and career. Most of the day they sit in front of the monitor and watch the market candles. I have a friend who has created a separate room for trading where he conducts his trading activities with only a single door. Basically there he has three big monitors mounted on the wall and one monitor he has on the table and all the monitors have charts of the coins he will be trading and he is always waiting for an opportunity. Right now he is not doing any alternative work only depending on trading he is managing his family. If he succeeds in this way, he will not think of working and if ever he works, he will not be able to manage his activities in the same way as he is now trading while working because then there will be pressure of work. If full focus can be given to any one job then that job can be taken as a life time career.

Whatever work we do, we should plan ahead. Like I am gambling from multiple accounts and at that time we have to assume that the outcome of that gambling may go against us and if it goes against then the money will be lost completely. If the money is completely lost, then there will be no money to gamble later on, so when making one bet, another bet has to be placed and then bet. Do not bet with full money because betting with full money will not have the money to bet later if the result goes against and the opportunity may be lost at that time. Professional gamblers usually think about the present and the future before gambling. I only think about the present but if I don't think about what will happen in the future then the problem can become bigger in the future.
