101  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 11, 2024, 06:30:12 AM
Conceded four goals its not really shocked regarding the strong opponent team face by AS Roma, not really important with three consecutives winning matches and finally AS Roma had losses against Inter Milan and Daniele De Rossi record won three matches in a row success stopping by Inter Milan.
Inter Milan success made comeback was left behind with a score of 1-2 but the finally Inter Milan become the winner and lead scored 2-4, now Inter  keep comfortable on the top position standings get 7 points left from Juventus, are close for Inter get back Scudetto for this season? right now only Juventus has near close points with Inter Milan and the third standings team AC Milan remaining 11 points left.
This was first game against quality team, and we have perfect result even there were too much talk about them after exit of José Mourinho and having three wins against weaker sides, but things were not good as after today match we have all how they need to improve for the future games if they want to stay at the top ranks we have interesting situation for the six teams which are fighting hard for the fourth spot and chance for the Champions League.

Tomorrow we are going to have good games which will bring good changes in league table. For the title race things are pretty clear for the Inter Milan which is now having seven points lead and their quality and performance is at the top no team can stop them even now Juventus is also had to try for staying at the second spot instead of doing any experiment which is surely not going to help AC Milan is also not good for the third spot.

Osasuna won narrowly against Real Sociedad and this was another victory after the previous 3 matches had not been at all. I think Osasuna did what they should and host Real Sociedad still couldn't win after the previous 2 matches ended in draws. Real Sociedad is experiencing an unstoppable decline and I think they will definitely fail this season to be able to secure 4th place again like last season.
I didn’t expect such result because Real Sociedad has been playing draw in their last five matches across all competitions, that’s why I expect them to take this home advantage to win Osasuna since they have been winning them in the past but unfortunately, Real Sociedad experience a decline in performance as they now go four games without winning any one of them.
Real Sociedad next match will be against PSG, and so many people are given them hope of winning PSG but as it stands now, they have no hope because they lost form lately before the Champions League knockout stage matches.
Look like now things are going worst for them in last 360 minutes they fail to score any goal in four games and ended with 3 draws and one lost which is clearly worst and with this defeat they are having 7th spot in La Liga big decline in performance and attack is having nothing to do which is shameful for the team like Real Sociedad which was strong candidate for the top five, but now they have to do something better before it's too late.

For the Champions League if they will play like this, most chances they will be eliminated from the first game because PSG is currently at the better level and their attack and defense are doing good job in last few games which are not giving them good advantage for having spot into last eight because Real Sociedad is now down and out.

Hornets has always been a bad team to be fair, never see them do well. Michael Jordan was one of the best players in the world and even if you do not think that he is the best ever, it's in everyone's top three, it means you have no idea about basketball if you do not put him at top three.

However, he has been a terrible owner since he bought the team, he talked a lot about owners being responsible for championships and how they should pay the players and build a good team back when he was a player, and ever since he owned a team he realized it's not that easy. Plus, he is not cash liquid owner like Warriors owners for example, so he can't pay the luxury tax all that much, it's already a costly thing to own the team as it is for him, so he never build a good team.
104  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 10, 2024, 02:39:02 PM
I have a hanging out friend who is having trouble paying his house installments, he wanted to borrow money from me but I didn't give it to him because I didn't have the amount he was borrowing at that time, I advised him to borrow from another friend but their answer was still the same, finally, he was a little desperate and with the little money he had he put the money into the online slot application, unfortunately, instead of succeeding in doubling his money, he lost all his money because he lost in the online slot application

The valuable message that can be taken from my friend above is never take risks to gamble to pay off your debts, the pressure is very big, the chance is very small that you can pay off your debts, often you end up losing even more and losing your money. look for loans, sell your valuables or look for part-time work to pay off your debts, is a good way rather than playing the small money you have in gambling
We should not make gambling as a tool to get rich or become successful because most likely it won't happen unless you are lucky enough to hit something big on it. That is why it is highly recommended to gamble with just extra money so we won't end up losing our hard earned money and our savigs or investments.
Being rich and successful is subjective. For some they feel rich already if they have a couple of dollars. It also makes them feel successful because they achieved this kind of target. Then there's these people who thinks they are rich because they are free from problems. One of the activity they use to enjoy is gambling. Like my first example, this can also be considered as a kind of success.

An extra money is still part of our hard-earned money and many of us started with that but eventually we still go beyond our limits. So, it wasn't really about the amounts that we use but it's about our mental state. we need to follow practices that can improve it.

Governments and regulatory bodies may pose challenges to Bitcoin becoming the primary medium of exchange due to concerns about control, taxation, and compliance with anti-money laundering (AML). Even to be know customer (KYC) regulations.
A powerful infrastructure supporting Bitcoin transactions would need to be in place.
That is the biggest challenge, adoption is not that big of an issue and we already have a pretty large user base for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies if that was the only necessity, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies would have been available for use as a global payment method, but this cannot happen unless governments and regulatory bodies allows it.

A local merchant might be a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency enthusiast and be interested in accepting them as a payment method for their products and services, but they won't be able to do that unless the government allows them and we all know that we can't go against the government because they have the power to do anything they want, even close and seal our businesses.
106  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are memecoins tarnishing the image of crypto? on: February 09, 2024, 05:19:42 PM
If you can stay away from memecoins in the market, it will help you to avoid scammers, because many memecoins has reduced many investors to nothing in the community because they refuse to embrace potential coins like Ethereum, Solana and BNB in their crypto trading.
Many of these meme coins aren't really serious with what they've started and that's why many are into investing their money with it.

If you think that many of them should be avoided, I am with you and people should buy those coins that they're aware of and if they can buy bitcoin, it must be done.

There are communities now that are into pump and dump with these meme coins and they're unstoppable. Because whatever we tell them, they'll keep going.
Not just many but all of them are not serious because the word meme is also not serious and it's funny if that is the reason on why many are investing with them but the only reason on why meme coins can still get an investor is because meme coins are an easy-to-ride vehicle to create a pump. Investors on them are greedy and wants to become rich overnight.

I salute those concerned users who keeps on giving warnings to the investors to stay away from these types of coins despite knowing that there will always be hard-headed investors who still insist to. If that is what they really want just give it to them and just let them regret later on.

Ansu's mentality has already destroyed caused by he was always getting bad result when he playes in any team. I think that this must be noted by liverpool to get him as a new player. I don't even like this guy caused by ansu fati was the worst player in the barcelona. People are just overvaluing him but the fact that if his performance was not as good as before.
Liverpool needs to consider other option to give the team a chance to recruit a good player. I think that the next season will not become klopp's responsibility in recruiting the new player. I don't like this guy. Ansu fati has so many drama in his career.

Having him in the squad will be only destroy it. I disagree if he will be targeting by liverpool caused by this is really really bad. I would prefer for liverpool to get a better candidate to replace him. He will never fit to the liverpool and he is very very far from salah's level.
Liverpool needs to get a good winger who can play as good as salah and i would be mentioning rodrygo from real madrid as a better candidate rather than him. I hope this rumor will not come true or liverpool will be only degrading its performance caused by the club was recruiting the wrong talent.
Even Ansu Fati is just 21 years old but too many injuries and bad performance create too many problems for him which is surely having negative impact on his career and future as well with this all we can't give any real time argue about his future at Liverpool because it's also not sure with new coach surely will bring most his own favourite players and is he could be in this list it's not sure so just because of this having too much talk about him is current not good because we have to wait for the right time with still his fortune can change as well because too much time, but he needs to work on his fitness.

Jürgen Klopp is leaving at the end of this season with we can expect too many changes like few top players are already announces they will leave as well so most chances Liverpool will bring good number of players and things will be completely in new hands, let's wait and watch all about this.

There is nothing palatable with poverty in old age. The world is changing rapidly and this is not like the time a lot of things happen that hindered a lot of people from making money. In the 18 centuries, we have major challenges like War that reduce people's potential and making money, many people lose things the have during wars and houses but today, they are now things of the past. It will be shameful if I tell my grandkids the same thing my grappa told me because I have no excuse for not leaving poor state.

Even if you are not making money for tomorrow please be rich because of your health as it's when you become old you risk getting sickness all the time because your immune system will be very weak. The only thing that can prolong your life is proper health care system and that's comes with a lot of money. You need good meal to survive and good meal comes with good money, invest when you have the opportunity because nothing is promise tomorrow.
I wouldn't say it is the same thing, because the world had less people and a lot more to build, that meant even the simplest jobs got paid well enough to live back in those days. My grandparents lived through the second world war and life wasn't easy then, however that doesn't mean that it became easier when they returned back, in 50's there were fewer people due to war, and there were so many things destroyed so they needed rebuilding, so everyone kept on hiring everyone and since the job pool was so limited, everyone got paid well, if not then they would quit and go to any other job, since it was easy to find a job.

This caused even the simplest most basic unqualified jobs to get paid enough to buy a house and that's just not possible right now. Even the most educated people in the world having hard time now.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 09, 2024, 10:58:54 AM
I admit that De Rossi's winning streak proves a little that he is able to manage Roma players well, but there are several problems, namely having to play against Inter Milan in the Series A match and then having to play against Feyenoord in the UEL match.
The situation is a bit difficult if De Rossi uses all his main players to get good results against Inter but is very prone to injury if he competes too forcefully, whereas if he prioritizes the Series A match it will really affect his performance in the UEL against Feyenoord.
I'm sure if I play against Feyenoord I will still win easily, but in a match in the domestic league I really doubt it.
AS Roma will go far this season, they just have to maintain good track on winning their opponents. AS Roma are opportuned to be managed by an experienced coach but it doesn't look like their performance is governed by such person, instead we keep watching the inconsistent results generated by Roma. The board came together and decided to let go of José Mourinho who's currently without any solid managerial job. The new boss, Daniele De Rossi have achieved gradual progress with the club, perhaps he's yet to cross the main test for the club, I'm hoping when it's time, he do passes them without difficulty.
Change of coach is having good impact on Roma with they won their last 3 games in Serie A even they were against weak sides but still good change but now next six days are going to be tough for them because tomorrow they are going to face Inter Milan at home, and then we have Roma at De Kuip Rotterdam these both matches will give all how they will go until end of this season because in case of win or draw then surely we can expect better and positive things and in case of lost surely we can't blame new coach but still we can expect some negative consequences which is surely not good.

José Mourinho is surely one of the best persons in UEFA matches, but his performance in Serie A was not ideal, so hopefully things will be under better control for them, and they will be able to bring positive changes which must be needed for them.
110  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Digital Real Estate: Is it worth it? on: February 09, 2024, 07:48:23 AM
In my opinion, digital real estate is a unique concept, but it's still unclear how it will evolve. Owning virtual property sounds appealing, but I feel it's not as attractive as owning real estate. Moreover, there might be many scammers in this field, so it's better not to rush into investing in it.
Owning digital real estate or properties is just like owning or having NFTs which we all know aren't long-term investments. You can't buy an NFT and plan to hold it for years and expect to get great returns on it because this market is unpredictable and highly volatile, NFTs that are worth $2,000 today might not be worth the same tomorrow because it's all about hype and demand for certain NFTs collections and how they are promoted among investors.

As soon as an NFT collection isn't trending anymore the value of their NFTs will start dropping immediately because there won't be any people bidding for them and NFT marketplaces don't work like cryptocurrency spot markets where you ask your price and wait for someone to come and take it.

The same is the process of digital real estate or properties, they are just like digital collectibles.
111  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 08, 2024, 05:48:52 PM
Aston Villa is Aston Villa, it's really a big joke some people thinks they might able to become a champion in this season. Right now Aston Villa can only win against small team and lose against big team, the upcoming match they will face Manchester United, the most popular team in Premier League.

So this will be an easy match for Manchester United.
Seeing the Aston Villa match against Chelsea was very stunning in my opinion, where Chelsea had a disciplined match both in defense and attack, the defense against Aston Villa was much tighter and more solid, this was an extraordinary match for Chelsea, especially the free kick by Enzo was very cool in my opinion.

Most likely Aston Villa lost the match because Manchester United is in good progress lately and they managed to consistently not lose any more points, while Aston villa lost its consistency in the last five matches.
In this game, we have performance from both sides on same level but lack of finishing bring down Aston Villa which is still having reaction of the Manchester United lost with in last five games they have only one win with 2 loses and 2 draws clearly indicating their trend is going down and things could be not good against Manchester United as well which is also trying to have better things in coming matches no doubt Chelsea done impressive job and started good after having worst lost at home this mind-set give them good change and perfect win.

Enzo Fernández is surely impressive and could be good for the next games as well which can make things easier for the Chelsea, which is already having too many quality players, but their depth is not allowing them to have better results, and they are struggling again in this season with unpredictable results.

And also the gambler will become greedy and don't stop playing even though their money is enough for their needs but still they will get some of it and play for their wants without knowing that they will loss a lot of money.
The biggest mistake is to gamble to get gains so that you can spend the money on your needs because gambling is not a source of income and those who consider it one will have to face the negative consequences of it. Something where getting something depends on your luck cannot be considered a way for you to have a guaranteed income, and gambling is exactly that, whether you will win or lose depends on how lucky or unlucky you are.

So, people who gamble with money that they need only because they expect to win more money with it are always going to suffer because even if they manage to win something initially, there will be a time when they will lose everything while trying to win more and then they will regret their actions.
113  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 08, 2024, 09:46:53 AM
Overconfidence and greed are interconnected because someone who becomes overconfident will mostly become greedy because of it. When you are winning constantly, you become overconfident and that also makes you greedy because you start thinking that if you are winning, why not increase the stake so that you can win higher amounts? And when you do that, you lose everything you've managed to win in no time and then you start regretting your decisions.

You are right that most gamblers repeat these mistakes because even if they lose everything multiple times because of getting overconfident and greedy, they would barely learn anything from their mistakes, and they start repeating the same thing after a few days. Gamblers tend to ignore things like these very easily.
114  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 08, 2024, 05:49:22 AM
life is neglected, even our own family will sometimes hate and shun us due to gambling addiction, it is so painful that everything is destroyed because of gambling, we don't have a family, our finances are disrupted and even if we want to stop it will be difficult to do so.
This is why realization and self-awareness are important for everyone because one needs to think it through before they get into anything in their life when they know it's not just about them but they might lose everything they have if they face certain problems after starting to do something, like in gambling, a person understands that if they get addicted, they will have a hard time getting out of it and if they can't do that, they will most likely get themselves ruined.

So, someone who is getting into gambling should understand both the positive and negative consequences of gambling and then they should evaluate the ways they should use so that they can avoid the risks that can lead them towards the negative consequences so that they don't face severe problems because of their gambling activities.

Doc Rivers is still riding that Celtics title, with 3 hall of famers, maybe even four if Rondo gets there, seems a little bit tough for him to be HOF to be fair, but it looked like he would be. I think it is clear that Celtics team was stacked and of course they did alright. With a very on fire Ray Allen (who won with Lebron later on as well) KG and Pierce, it is really obvious that they would win, they could have lost as well but the difference maker wasn't Doc.

Ever since that year, he has been going from team to team around the league and failing, he has never won anything ever, the way he handled Sixers job was good enough for me to consider him not a great coach to be fair, and I think it has to be something that would not be easy.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another Two Category Of Gamblers That We Are Not Aware Of on: February 07, 2024, 06:44:50 PM
I'm pretty sure that I'm none of the two mentioned gambler types because I don't gamble regularly and these characteristics can only be found in gamblers who gamble regularly with no breaks and have been doing it for quite some time already.

I started gambling a few years back, although I was compulsive with my gambling habits at the initial stage, I managed to control myself and my emotions later on and reduced my gambling time and budget which made a great difference in my financial life because I was using a lot of money on gambling.

If I talk about the present time, I gamble sometimes but it's not done regularly, and I don't think I have any of the characteristics mentioned in both categories.
117  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: February 07, 2024, 02:56:22 PM
I do not trust any experts and this applies not only to gambling as even if someone has received an expert title for his past predictions it does not mean that his future predictions will be 100% correct. As we can see people are often wrong, so when making any decisions based on someone else's opinion, keep in mind that all financial risks are borne by you, not the expert you listened to. He bears only reputational risks.   
That's the point. Though I believe that experience and knowledge do play a great role, if someone has a lot of knowledge and experience about a craft, their suggestions might be good ones, but why would you need to rely totally on someone else's suggestions and tips? Learn everything yourself, and then if you even listen to the suggestions of others, you will at least have an idea about what they are suggesting and why they are suggesting that, and then you can make your own decisions after evaluating everything.

Hence, I'm also not a fan of making bets or gambling based on someone else's signals and tips even if they are an expert of the craft. I would first learn everything myself, and then I will make my decisions based on my research and analysis which might include the tips and suggestions received from others.
118  Economy / Gambling / Re: tell me the best online casino on: February 07, 2024, 11:22:33 AM
There are many factors to consider when choosing an online casino, such as security, bonuses, games, payment methods, and customer support, there's this crypto casino that is releasing testnet this month, and I hope they meet all these requirements.
The industry is full of scams and frauds, which is why gamblers need to be vigilant when it comes to using new casino platforms when there are already a bunch of existing platforms with great reputations and trust within the gambling community. I don't say one shouldn't try them, there is nothing wrong with making a small deposit and trying the platform out, but try not to deposit large funds or verify your identity at the initial stage until the platform earns at least some reputation and trust within the community with their deposits, withdrawals, and customer services.

Hence, try to avoid new casino platforms just because they are offering high bonuses on first deposits, some would even offer a bonus on every single deposit you make when they launch their platform just to attract more and more gamblers towards their platform. It's a common marketing tactic.
119  Economy / Gambling / Re: MetaMask Crypto Casinos on: February 07, 2024, 08:39:23 AM
I prefer centralized casinos over decentralized ones, mainly because you can't trust new platforms, especially if they require you to give them access to your wallet containing your assets because you never know, the industry is full of scams and scammers and you can't believe every single platform.

A lot of people are against KYC and KYC-enabled casinos because they believe it's against their privacy to provide their personal information to any platform and they don't want to do that. However, I believe KYC-enabled casinos and platforms are more secure because they are operating under a licensed authority and even if the licensing firm doesn't care much, they will still have to comply with a lot of rules and regulations imposed on them.
120  Economy / Gambling / Re: Responsible gambling on: February 06, 2024, 12:54:32 PM
in practice, sometimes it is not easy, greed is basic human nature. Often emotions come to blows and at that time it is difficult to stop gambling before all our wallets are gone, and after everything is gone we only realize and regret it.
Only responsible gamblers will realize the best time to stop gambling and not everyone can be a responsible gambler and have enough self-patience to stop when the time is right which is why most gamblers lose everything even after being ahead of the house at one point during their gambling session.

In my opinion, slot machines are one of the games that make someone addicted to gambling, in my country there are lots of slot gamblers and they are often irresponsible in gambling, this is also what makes me prefer gambling on table games rather than slot machines, before getting addicted it seems more well I don't play slot machines, although sometimes I get curious when I find out someone has won a big jackpot  Grin
Slots are the most played games in the world of online gambling, they might be also in the offline gambling sphere but I'm not sure about that. The biggest reason for this is that slot machines often have the possibility to provide high multipliers when compared to other games in a casino, which is what attracts the gamblers most of the times because they hope they might hit a big multiplier.
