I can also relate to this at the same time I can also relate to the OP's story since I too lost my father at the very young age and some properties were taken over on the guise that "I am still too young to manage those said properties", but in the end they are the ones reaping the benefits for so long that all the resources are exhausted already leaving us nothing once we took over. That is why me and my family have to work our ass off extra harder just to get by and have something as savings and investment.
As I've said that I can also relate to this topic since it also reached to the point where I am already questioning my self if was I doing the right thing, or am I even enjoying this. There was also one time where I was sick to the point that I couldn't get up from the bed for 2 good weeks. That is also when I realized that life is really short and I wasted those days not even earning or enjoying, so now I am both doing those things on moderation since anytime we will be gone to the kingdom come.
To make things short I have to balance things out for me ro properly say that I am living not just a slave under my own mental pressure of things.
Unfortunately there are some people who see it fit to take advantage of any situation they can, without thinking about morals or ethics, as long as it benefits their life. Same happened to my mother when my grandfather died. My grandfather was a very rich person at the town he lived and owned nearly half of it, he was basically king of that town, owned all the houses, farms, many other things, basically half of the land was his, and there were dozens of shops and over hundred houses that he rented to townspeople there. When he moved from there to the big city, he brought in the money with him, but stopped investing there, and after a series of issues, when he passed away my mom got nearly nothing because all his family wanted to sell everything he owned and just the cash, and the case was argued as like a years worth salary, we all know 100+ properties would not cost a years worth salary, but since my mom never been to that town, she just took it and screw everything else and ignored working hard in a lawsuit or something to get more. |

Even an unlimited balance won't help you when you hit the max win limit and can't place the next bet. The real secret to success in martingale is the same as in all gambling, quit while you are ahead.
Actually this is good advice to stop when you really win it but don't ever target a win, because that will lead to the next defeat, and even then based on the experience I experienced yesterday like that yesterday I should have stopped but somehow I still continue because I started Greedy has not yet reached the desired point so just keep playing. The only way is to stop when you really win it and don't continue playing unless you want to run the risk of losing even more, but martingale is not a powerful strategy to beat the dealer let alone other casino games, just use other strategies and the ability to control yourself also the feeling of wanting to reach a point sometimes it makes us greedy. lol Setting targets actually helps some people. You've nailed the main problem, greed. Having a plan to stop at a certain profit can avoid the pitfall of carrying on playing until you lose it all. That's particularly relevant to Martingale where this conversation started. If you leave it running forever the losing streak that wipes you out becomes almost inevitable. The funniest thing is that both losing and winning is already established when you want to gamble automatically, and yet people fail to do that when they manually play. Assume that someone has 10k dollars to gamble right? Let's go to hi/lo and automatically start gambling, you put 10 dollars per bet, and you do something like martingale or whatever, doesn't really matter that part, then you tell the auto betting bot to stop if it reaches 9k dollars, or 11k dollars. That way you may not lose too much, and if you win, you will stop and not continue to gamble and start to lose eventually. This is literally available as a tool for you if you want to bet automatically. But there is nothing that stops people when they bet manually, so it is not going to be easy to do the same. |

Once the primaries are over with I hope that there are more opportunities for betting on this election. I really would feel more comfortable if a site like Stake (shameless promotion alert) offered this as a bet. Sure, I'd put some money down and likely on Trump. I think the smarter move might be to bet on Biden having another four years though. At least that way you get to make a little bit of money as a hedge for the disaster that the Biden administration would continue to let unfold on his watch. If Biden loses, that is it's own reward and worth whatever amount you lost. Although I think America is already in too much debt to be turned around at this point anyway. The covid overreaction was the nail in the coffin.
Hopefully Stake will also include some options to bet on the primaries, it would be ideal to make some money; the way I see it if things continue going this direction it is very likely Trump will take over the primaries easily, perhaps such bet would not be so profitable as the presidential one but it may help regardless. Still expecting to see how Biden manages to secure his run in the case someone decided to confront him within the Democrat party. I am not entirely sure if it would be too profitable though. The possibility of Trump getting the nomination is huge, the only way he would not be the next nominee is if he gets jailed or something and I still think that's not going to happen. This is why it is a lot better to see this situation unfold before making a bet, but a nominee getting jailed? More importantly a former president getting jailed? That feels like a tough situation and would probably not happen. Did he commit crimes? If you ask me, he did and he should be jailed if he was a regular person. But this is the guy that 70+ million people voted for, I am not sure if it will continue to be like that for a long time. I hope that the nation well eventually, but if they want to vote for him, they should be allowed to. |

In order to invest in bitcoins, you need to buy bitcoins at a time when you will not lose money in the future. Bitcoin market changes every moment so invest by understanding the market position. There comes a time when the Bitcoin market turns into an absolute bear market when there is a golden opportunity to buy Bitcoin. At this time buying Bitcoin and holding it for long term will definitely lead to success. But there are some times when the bitcoin market is bullish there are many people who invest but they don't get that much profit. But if you want to invest in Bitcoin, you must invest when the price of Bitcoin is in a bear market. And selling when the price of Bitcoin turns into a bull market can lead to good profits.
I feel like it doesn't matter when you first buy bitcoin, even if it was 69k that is fine, obviously it would be better if you buy at the bottom but just because you bought at the top doesn't mean you need to lose money. The only thing that matters is the fact that if you end up putting in more money. That means if you bought at 69k, but then kept on buying a lot more, and even bought a lot at under 20k, maybe your DCA is about 30k right now? And that means you could get close to profiting these days. That's what could be a good way and I have done something similar, didn't buy at 69k but bought at 42k and I am in profit right now, why? Because I managed to buy a lot more when it dropped, a lot more at under 20k as well, and that helped me. |

Barcelona team is doing great performance. Apart from Real Madrid, Barcelona is performing well against other teams. Barcelona have a great chance to secure the title this season. But in the last stage, Barcelona can have a great fight with Real Madrid.
They definitely had a decent season without a doubt. I am not saying that it is what they hoped for, after all being in a further stage at UCL would have been better than getting third place in group stages, and if nothing else at least winning Europa would have been better instead of losing as well, that's a terrible loss. So European competitions were a big disappointment for them, but when we look at the league? They are doing as well as hoped for at the league and that is why it's such an important thing. I personally hope that they do as well as it can get during the league next season as well but they will fight very hard to win something at Europe in order to make that money back, otherwise just the league will not be enough to cover the costs at all. |

it's matter of whether they gonna fall in the hands of new management I guess, even then i'm sure the new management will somehow reach out to the former management, I think you have good point, their reputation is just too tainted at this point that at every of their move will instead trigger massive suspicions, there's also chance as you said that they are planning an even bigger exit but i'm sure everyone gonna be watching this company constantly and sees if there's anything strange, hopefully though the people that deserve reimbursement and refund gonna get what they deserve that the first priorities right now.
I feel like even with the new management, that's not going to be easy to trust them again so this should not really make too much sense. I get that a lot of people are hopeful about it but I do not have that hope unfortunately. The best thing they could do is just basically give up, and should not be a company that tries to revive and spend so much money to do that and then fail again. People lost their feeling towards them and just ignores them now, so having another one it will not end any good way. I know that it will not be a good month or period, but it should not be a bad one neither, it's just not possible. All in all I believe that we could do much better if they just use that money for something else, whatever debt they endured during this period. |

Gambling is a choice to play or not, of course it's a conscious choice, winning or losing is a risk that must be faced, don't play gambling if you don't want to take risks, winning is a bonus, don't prioritize winning consistently every day, after all, the real win is win control yourself or control our emotions in gambling. Managing finances is not easy in gambling because it depends on how we can control ourselves, sometimes gambling when winning is difficult to control so in the end we keep playing and unconsciously spend the winnings again. so you will continue to lose at gambling, I also really want to feel victory but it's hard to get it, so I always play sports betting and never play casinos because it's hard to win at casinos, so I always play for fun at casinos, except sports betting for more serious bets looking for winnings.  I am here to agree with your opinion, friends, and indeed, in reality, we must be responsible for choices when gambling and accept the risks involved, whether we win or lose. In gambling winning is just a bonus and not everything because what is more valuable is the experience and learning you get while in the gambling industry. I have a way to be able to manage finances to self-control, namely betting by having limits and all the money that I earn from work is held by my wife so that if the bet is lost it can stop immediately and it is not sustainable to make deposits. That way I can have control myself and maybe you can apply this if you yourself have a family. That is the approach people need in order to win from gambling, if you approach it that way then you are going to be fine. Too many people approach it as if that is a given thing and not the most important part of it and that is why they end up losing. I believe that if you start to ignore winning, you may even win more. People who are obsessed about winning, will lose because they will chase their losses and make many mistakes, but people who are not obsessed about it, will not have a trouble because they will not care about it at all. I think the best thing to do in this case is to make sure that we do not get any important results regarding this situation and just focus on the fun, when you start doing that and only care about fun, then you start to even win more because you make less mistakes. |

We have read many similar predictions by many market analysts and so-called Bitcoin enthusiasts about the bright future of Bitcoin. This is not surprising and this post is not a speculation post. What is surprising is that such kind of optimistic predictions is coming from one of the banking majors. The current banking turmoil has helped Bitcoin to win the trust of the people.
People are talking about their desires when you put a mic on their faces, not reality. Obviously these days it's more digital and less microphone but the same logic continues. If someone asked me what I think bitcoin will do by the end of 2024 I would have said a lot higher result, but that doesn't mean that I think it is realistic, I just think that it would be good to have something like that. I hope that it goes as well as possible, but I do not think that it will be possible. Just focus on what could happen in reality, forget about what would be your dream. 100K could be a good one, not really entirely sure if it will be possible or not but I think it should be "possible", not saying it will happen, but it is possible to see that without a doubt. |

The stake odds for this game are 1.52 for the Knicks and 2.60 for the Heat, Right now Quentin Grimes and Julius Randle are doubtful if they can play for the Knicks and Julius Randle is out for the season, while Tyler Herro, can not play for the Heat, Bam Adebayo is doubtful and Victor Oladipo is now out for this season, for this game I think I can see that the Knicks is the favorite to win but Jimmy Butler is a different monster while pressured, for this game the truth is I really don't know who to choose, that is why I have gone to the best option going with the favorite, the New York Knicks,
Knicks is good and all but I believe that Heat will win again if Jimmy Butler ends up playing as well as he has so far. This is why I believe that we could see anything happen. Overall, Knicks is a better team for sure, I mean when you look at 5 positions, I would give 4 of them to Knicks, aside from Jimmy Butler who has played differently during this playoff period. After all it is going to be a tough one without a doubt. The early games are a bit different as well, it is not the same thing at all, the regular times for them is a lot better for them. All in all I think the best thing to do for today is to stay away, we can see the games of each series and then we can make a decision based on that, doesn't make sense to take risks and put the first games as bets, just lets see how it will be. |

It is not possible for Real Madrid to control and donate the game against Manchester City, but what exactly do we mean by the term Control? Real Madrid is not a team that plays on a lot of possession. That is not their way of playing and they are not at their best at it. They will let City play far forward and will watch for small individual mistakes and then strike on the counter. It is often said of Real Madrid that they can only counter, but of course they can do much more than just counter. The counter part has been elevated by art by Real Madrid and last year things went wrong for City in a completely different way. What happened then in the match Real Madrid - Manchester City is still incomprehensible.
What do you football fans think in the semi-finals of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Manchester City? I see both teams as very strong. However, Real Madrid's striker Karim Benzema is ahead in terms of strategy and experience. On the other hand, Manchester City's Arling Halland is in one of the best forms. It will be a really great match. I think Haaland is a better striker than Benzema, the difference is not that clear, and anyone can say one is better than the other, but I feel like Haaland is scoring with his own merit a lot as well whereas Benzema knows positioning amazingly well and gets great passes from his teammates to score those goals. This is of course just a guess and maybe Benzema could be better, depends on who you are asking. But when we compare the teams with each other, I see City as the better team, specially this year, last year people thought the same and Real managed to win by last minute goals, this season we have a few better players on top of that and a small changes but one biggest change is that City now has Haaland instead of Jesus, that's a big change and should put them ahead. |

Memecoins like PEPE are becoming a trend in the crypto community. However, investing in these currencies is very risky and not recommended. They often don't have a good technical background, don't have a product or service behind them, and only rely on the popularity of the community to determine their pricing.
Regarding PEPE, I cannot make a prediction on whether it will continue to increase in price, but I want to emphasize that investing in memecoins is very risky and not a long-term investment option.
You know what is the troubling part about this? We are talking about something that they already know, and yet they do it anyway. This was the same logic when they attacked wall street and got GME to high levels as well, it was a terrible company and it is still a terrible company and it will most likely bankrupt in the future even if it didn't back then. But they wanted to show that the market doesn't work that way, you can get something terrible, and if enough people buy the stock, it can go up, doesn't matter if the company deserves it or not, if we all pool our money and buy it, even a shit could worth a lot. Same logic applies here, they want to take these shits, into a higher valuation for some reason, because they can, they know it's shit, they don't care. |

Modric's vanishing act could throw a wrench in Madrid's Champions League hustle. He's that indispensable maestro – serving skill and perseverance like hotcakes, a vibe hard to replicate.
However, we're rocking a stacked roster, poised to tango with Manchester City. Our midfield's brimming with gifted playmakers itching to step up and be game-changers. It's about nailing that sweet equilibrium and playing our ace cards.
And who's to say, maybe Modric's absence is our wild card. It might be the break others need to bask in glory and prove their mettle. So let's ride the optimism wave, lock in, and conquer the Champions League. We're in it to win it!
Modric is great and all, but midfield is a place they do not lack any talent neither. They have tchouameni, valvarde, camavinga, all that can play there along with Kroos who might be a little too old and slow these days but still amazingly talented and has been with the club for centuries so he knows how to play with his teammates. So when you combine all those four players, getting 2-3 midfieldiers out should not be an issue. Is it as good as Modric? No, but at the same time if they missed another player at another position then it would have been worse. What if Benzema was not around? They don't have that level of talent at bench, it really does come down to how good your bench is, if you could come down to a lot of talent for midfield, then I rather have Modric missing instead. |

it will be very difficult for FTX to be able to restore user trust in their service, because many people have been stressed because of them. Instead of planning to launch it again, it's better for the team to focus on developing other platforms that are fresher and with better supervision. That might interest users to be able to use their platform.
The amount of money lost, and lives ruined because they wanted to rule their company horribly is beyond measure. We are talking about billions of dollars, and millions of people who lost everything they had, because they wanted to manage their company horribly. I agree that there is no way they would ever be trusted again and they are basically gone. The best thing to do about this is that they should just pay what they owe and get out, they should not even be around anymore. Most of the big names got away without a jail time, it was just the CEO if I am not wrong, and those people could find another job and work there if they can, that would be fine for them, pay it back and then find another job is their best course of action right now, at least the least resistant one for them. |

All of you need to remember one thing. World Cup matches are never played in empty stadiums. The demand for tickets are 10 times or 20 times the actual supply. During the 2022 World Cup, Qataris reserved a large fraction of tickets to themselves and made massive profits by selling these tickets to fans at exorbitant prices. So the argument that fans from the host nation may not watch the tournament in case their team is not there doesn't stand. If they don't watch, then fans from other countries will be ready to purchase the tickets. IMO, host nations should not be provided with automatic qualification. They need to qualify through the qualifier tournaments, just like the other teams.
Because this is a big tournament, there is never a doubt that there will be not fewer fans and that is also one of the reasons for FIFA to increase the number of participants because it means more money will be circulating throughout the World Cup. Conditions like any of the hosts will not reduce the interest of spectators to come directly to the stadium and watch the match even though there is a possibility that the match will be boring. If regulations appear, the host country will not automatically become a participant because they still pass the qualifications. There may be less interest from the country that organizes it, because apart from economic reasons, one of the reasons why countries are interested in becoming an organizer is because they get the privilege of their national team automatically playing, and the rules of the organizing country automatically playing out like a lucrative deal for FIFA and that country. The amount of money that is earned by everyone via World Cup is crazy. The hosts make money, Fifa makes a lot of money, the hotels around it makes money, the events around it make money, the shops around it makes money, players make more money due to endorsements as well, hell even clubs make more money because their players worth more if they play well, and even go as far as say that national teams that are not the host make money by selling their jersey as well, that merch income is not something small. So, overall if we look at every single cent earned thanks to world cup, it is a 11 maybe 12 digit amount, I bet 30-40 billion at least when you calculate it all, and that's not easy to do that is a huge amount of money we are talking about, unheard of in anything else in the world. |

sevilla is favourite for the cup, beating the best team in the cup and getting to the far, means that they are favourite, juventus is another contender. both team can meet in the finals. they have been outstanding in the league. but i wish Sevilla wins
Since Sevilla got rid of the more favored team, it's only natural that they become another favourite, even though in the domestic league they are far from what was expected. Juventus must be careful with this team, because Sevilla can surprise them at any time. Manchester United were their victims before, although that was supported by Manchester United themselves who did not perform well in that match and made many mistakes. Just because Sevilla managed to beat United doesn't mean that they are going to beat everyone, they might, but they could have come here by beating smaller clubs and still win it too, what happened before these games do not matter, it doesn't have any reflection. It is important to remember that the best thing to do in this case is to keep on focusing what to do in the future and the future is unknown, we can't know what will happen. I hope that they will do as well as they possibly could, and that would be a great thing, but I think it is going to be tough for them, they may lose. They were lucky to beat United, they won't be that lucky next time and they may end up losing and going back home, which is fine because semi-finals is a good result. |

A player like Messi got enough respect in any team he played and he usually gets enough support from both players and the fans after Messi left Barcelona for PSG he couldn't get enough respect and he can't have enough focus on the game, that's why I think he is going to leave PSG to another team at the end of this season.
Messi to Barcelona could be possible, it is going to be tough and I think maybe not even smart, but it would be possible. How? They need to sell some players and they need to not resign some players as well. This gives them two things, first of all it gives them money to use for getting Messi and paying his salary when they sell some players, and when they do not resign some of them that opens up cap space as well. Is it doable? 100%. Is it smart to do? I am not entirely sure about that. Yes he is Messi and he is the legend of Barcelona, probably the best player that ever played, but would you really have 4-5 good players gone, just for Messi? If he was 30 years old I would understand, but he is getting older as well, he won't be able to get them wins like that anymore. |

5: How do you set your buy and sell orders?
To be honest I rarely trade in the short term (daily) I prefer buying and selling on a weekly or monthly basis. And what I did in determining the selling and buying points was only in a simple way, such as placing a purchase at the support point where the price bounce occurred. and I put selling at the resistance point where there is a price rejection to go higher. but I can only do it in 4 hour timeframes. whereas when I try to day trade to be honest I often experience losses. So I really avoid day trading for now. because I am aware that mentally and scientifically I am not proficient enough in trading analysis. especially my weakness in technical analysis. so I trade more often based on fundamental analysis. When you take it weekly or better yet monthly, that makes it easier to predict the future a bit, because it gives you a chance to see a larger portion of the time before you could make a move and you could end up with a good result thanks to that. However, if you end up with nothing like that, and day trade only, that will result with nothing that exceptional, you will most probably end up with a bad result because you may not have enough time, or you will give up on day trading and turn that into longer period. Obviously in both cases if you buy and it suddenly goes up then you can sell and make a profit, what I am talking about is only true in cases where it is simply when price goes down, that will be a bit more different in that case. |

Barcelona are in one of the best forms at the top of La Liga. But such a sudden defeat really surprised the fans. In the last match of Barcelona, Barcelona tried to use new tactics compared to the opposition team, but I think the Barcelona players failed to adapt to this strategy. As a result, Barcelona lost.
That's football for you, you don't expect the perfect team, they have the relaxing moments where even the lesser club will strike them unexpectedly. What I see in that match is that Barcenola is just unprepared, but by the time they would be more serious, it's too late. Rayo Vallecano is not a team I expect to beat FC Barcelona but that's the reality yesterday. It was bad to point out that they (Rayo Vallecano) scored twice before Barca could be able to score once towards the end of the game. Most clubs get relaxed when they are at a wide-gap level, but it boomerangs at times, just like in the case of Arsenal in EPL. I mean they were 11 points ahead and Real lost, so that means that we are talking about a situation where Barcelona didn't give a damn, and that obviously resulted with a loss for them too. But there is no difference between 14 point leading and 11 point leading at this point. They know they are the champions, they won't be even too happy when they finally win it, because it wasn't a last minute thing and they knew for a while that they won, so it won't come as a surprise anymore, it gradually became more and more obvious that they will win so they celebrated that each game so by the end when it is a sure thing they are not going to celebrate too hard since they knew it already. So in that situation you do not play with 100%, there is really no reason for it, you can still lose and get the title anyway. |

To be honest if you shall watch the overall performance rating of PSG players at this season. Messi is having the highest rating and how can you say that if his performance was not good in PSG. The football is not only a bout a single player that playes for all. it's about 11 who has been combined into the squad. I think that you can also read it again what was the main reason for messi moves back again to the abrcelona.
The environment in PSG is not supporting him anymore. Messi agreed to cut his salary as long as he will able to join with barcelona. The problem is barcelona needs to fulfill all of requirements before the club will able to sign messi in summer.
The first thing that must be done by barcelona to find actual buyers to the list of players that will be sold by barcelona in summer.
The money raised from these sales are really important for barcelona.
I don't think so, Messi is the best player in the world but when he fails to be able to help or improve the team's performance then he is said to have failed, look at Messi's 2 seasons at PSG there were no achievements that PSG could achieve on the European stage and Messi's overall contribution at PSG is very small. Messi's return to Barcelona will not make PSG worse, on the contrary, Messi's departure has made PSG more flexible to find a replacement that is commensurate with him on the front lines. I would say he "was" the best player in the world. He is still great, but I would put Mbappe above him for example, he is not as good as he used to be. That is understandable though because we have seen him play for 20 years now, that does mean that even if you are at a great level, that is unheard of in most sports in the world. Not many people are at their peak best ever performance when they are on their 20th professional season, that doesn't really happen too commonly. This is why there are question marks about him even staying here, and there are discussions about Saudi league because of that as well. I feel like there is a bit of a trouble in the end and we shouldn't really be expecting him to do too much anymore, not for a few more years before he retires at least. |

If both teams were to be judged solely on merit, I believe Manchester City has an advantage over Arsenal because, despite having good midfielders, Manchester City is well-experienced, and judging Arsenal solely on the results of its last three games is not a reliable way to forecast the game. Additionally, Manchester City fans are already focusing on their first meeting with Arsenal before the game even begins. One thing I have noticed is that Arsenal consistently lacks confidence when playing against Manchester City on the road, once that confidence is there and our defense really needs to close all loops to avoid goals from goal machine like Haaland.
I think that's the thing that makes football great, because we do not judge them on their merit. I think it is important to remember that we are talking about a situation where it does help people a lot, but it may also fail them as well if you just judge them on their talent as well. Sometimes something goes wrong and suddenly one team plays better than the others. Look at Arsenal this year, by roster calculation I would have put City way above Arsenal, not even close. And yet when you look at the results, Arsenal is leading the league right now and that's what matters. This is why I believe that we should not really worry about anything else, we should only focus on making as much profit as we possibly could. That's how we could make a lot of changes. |
