Arsenal will be locking horns with Newcastle at the Emirates stadium and this will be another test of their strength and ability to compete for the title this season. Last time these two met, Newcastle were able to snatch a controversial win and hence this game will be more or less like a bid to get back at the Magpies. It's being 13 years since Newcastle last won an away game at the Emirates and will be looking to change things but I feel that may be hard especially as we know who is in goal for Newcastle; Loris Karius who hasn't seen footballing action since 2018 and if the Gunners can take advantage of this, they may take this three points.
Gabriel was able to make a good header, after he received a cross from the corner kick which led to Boston causing an own goal for Newcastle on the 18th minutes of the game. As the ball landed after Gabriel header, three Newcastle defenders were on the post, but they were unable to prevent the own goal from happening.

This is good luck for Arsenal players as they are in a better chance of winning this match and gain all three points. Arsenal needs to try their best to score a second goal so that it will be hard for Newcastle to put themselves back in the game. However, there is still a lot of time because the game is still in the first half. Martinez gas sealed up their victory by scoring another goal on the 24th minutes to make it two goals for Arsenal.

I think that Arsenal have already won this game and all three points belongs to them tonight. Newcastle started this season in a good form but gradually they started declining in performance. This is a club that I thought they will go far better than last season this season, but it turns out to be the opposite.

It is 2-0 in favor of Arsenal.

Manchester City now playing against Bournemouth at the moment. They need to win it if they want to be on the race for the title.
It is difficult to imagine a game where Manchester City don't win. The game is still without a goal in the first 20 minutes, but with Manchester City, they need just a moment.
You right, I will say that if Manchester City loses against Bournemouth it will be a one kind of magical thing. Moreover, if we check the history of Manchester City and Bournemouth's head to head match, we will see that Bournemouth has lost 18 of the last twenty matches against Manchester City. But I was expecting them to score a goal within 20 minutes. Anyway, they managed to score a goal in 24 minutes before I posted. And I think Manchester City are going to get their momentum back. P. Foden managed to score this amazing goal.
There is still a lot of time left before half time, I think Manchester City will be able to score one more goal before the break. They have 70% ball position, passing accuracy, shots on target, they are in a very attacking position. I think Manchester City will win the match by scoring three goals today.
The game is on the 76th minutes and none of the teams are still able to score any goal in the second half. It was in the first half that Manchester city was able to find the back of the net, and after that time, no more goal yet.

Manchester city is still struggling to see if they can score a second goal, while at the same time the host is also struggling to see if they can equalize the goal scored by Fodden in the first half, but Manchester City defenders will not give them the opportunity to create a good chance, that they can convert to a goal. If the match ends without anymore goals, it means will be gaining all three points.

Barcelona vs Getafe team match is now half-time break. Barcelona team is leading by 1 goal before half time. I see more chances of winning Barcelona team in today's match. They scored 1 goal in 20 minutes of the game. Now let's see who will score after half time.  Can the Barcelona team. Getafe team can score any goals today or I don't know. The performance of the Getafe team will not be able to win with the Barcelona team if they play this way.

Barcelona 3:0 Getafe. Barcelona really had an easy win today though the game is in the 82nd as at when the post was written but I think it's a wrap for Barcelona because they outplayed the away team. The second goal was scored in the 53rd minutes by João Félix,vehicle the 3rd goal came from De Jong in the 61st minutes. Barcelona moves up to the second place in the league pending on the out come of Girona game but from the performance of Barcelona today I think they look like a team who has finally bounced back I hope they show this kind of performance when they host Napoli in the second leg of the champions League.

Currently, Barcelona is second, till Girona win their match. It was a great victory for them, because they were able to score three goals against Getafe, who I thought will be a threat to them, but instead Barcelona was able to win easily. This result should motivate Barcelona to keep on winning their upcoming matches so that they can finally become second at the end of the season, because I don't think that Girona will be able to maintain the second position till the end of this season.

Getafe players are weak, compared to Napoli players, and we saw that in their performance. This was why Barcelona was able to play them this way, and score 3 goals for 3 points. You should know that all the teams in the round of 16 are strong, but only the strongest will qualify to the next round. If Barcelona wants to win Napoli, they need to be ready to face the task ahead, and build up their team to a great form, better than Napoli, and also should come up with a game pattern that will subdue that of Napoli.
1184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: 21 million of standard gold bars in the world. on: February 23, 2024, 06:04:08 PM
One of my personal assumptions is that Satoshi was orientating himself on gold. If you calculate how many standard bars could be forged from the total amount of gold on earth, you come up with around 20 - 23 million standard bars, depending on the source of information.

Of course, this is only if you add in the estimated unmined gold reserves.

To think further, if you own one Bitcoin and it exceeds the market capitalization of gold, just to give you an idea, it's like owning a 12.4 kg gold bar.
OP, from where did you get this idea from because it does not look real. This is because gold is a natural resources endowed by nature, and as time passes by, there will be more gold to discover in various places. It is until the world has come to an end, that human do not exist anymore, that no one will be able to discover the rest gold, because there are a lot of gold that has not been discovered.

Bitcoin was created by a man, and it is limited to only 21 million, which means that by 2140, when that last bitcoin will be mined, mining of bitcoin will no longer be possible. So why are you comparing these two as the same when we know that it is not true, and can never be possible. Are you saying that Satoshi is one Demigod that knows even the the things beneath the earth surface?

I don't have any plans of selling now because, the price of bitcoin has not reached my price target, and for this reason. I am still accumulating more bitcoin to my portfolio. it is until bitcoin price has passed the previous ATH that I will begin to feel good buy not to the point of selling when the price has not reached my target selling price.

However, taking advantage of the market now is still a good opportunity for those that gave no bitcoin or have little bitcoin in their bags, to increase their bitcoin holdings since bitcoin price is still at 51K+. I look forward to see bitcoin price hits 100k and above before I will think of what to do next on my bitcoin hodlings.
1186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 23, 2024, 03:57:26 PM

From Barcelona's perspective, they will definitely try to play better because they are playing in their own stadium. Their strength level is quite strong but the problem is that their they is often unstable this season so this needs to be fixed when they face Napoli in the second leg. Even though Barcelona are very favorites for the second leg, their chances are still the same because the result of the first leg is a draw and it is only an advantage for Barcelona because they are playing at home.

That is Barcelona's problem at the moment. They have played inconsistently this season and we can also see several times they lost games they should have won. This is an opportunity for Napoli to provide a surprise in the second leg. But if Barcelona is able to perform as they should play then I think it will be very difficult for Napoli to beat Barcelona. They have everything to win. Moreover, playing as the host will certainly increase their motivation. I bet on Barcelona winning in the second leg.
I have a great feeling that Barcelona will win the match, because they are playing at home, and that will be a motivator for them, despite their inconsistency this season. It is sad to see that Barcelona finds it difficult of scoring goals in the first leg, and this is what has put them in a tight corner. Xavi needs to put in his best on making sure that his strikers are on fire so that whatever opportunity that is created will be converted to a goal.

On the other hand, Napoli shouldn't be underestimated because they are also after winning Barcelona so that they can qualify to the next round. So, if Barcelona don't take this match as a do or die affair then they might not be equal to the tack of qualifying to the quarter finals. However, both teams are not in their best form now, and any of them can qualify to the next round, irrespective of where the match would be played.

Currently, the four ongoing match is on and all clubs have scored one goal, except  Young Boys who are losing to Sporting with one goal down.

Roma is playing 1-1 draw with Feyenoord, and they are on 2-2 goal aggregate, meaning one of them must qualify to the round of 16, who knows if De Rossi will be lucky tonight.

Marseille VS Shakhtar Donetsk is playing 1-1 currently, and their goal aggregate is 3-3, a big challenge for both clubs because one of them must go back home tonight.

Sparta Prague and Galatasaray is also playing 1-1 draw but Galatasaray has more advantage of qualifying if the match ends with this result, because they won 3-2 at home.
1189  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: February 22, 2024, 07:16:03 PM
Casinos are the ones making more profit every day, and their pockets are getting fat. This is because if you look at it from this angle, you will notice that teenagers are involving in gambling more than before, because they think that it is another means of making profit, and they keep on throwing money inro gambling, hoping to win big someday. Casinos are everywhere and this shows that the business is booming, if not a lot of them would have fold up.

If any casino packs up from the business, it was not because a customer won big that lead to their bankruptcy, but it might be mismanagement of funds, or an insider knowing the cheat, and used it against the casino to bankrupt them or they are scammers or some other issues. We all know that we lose more than we win, and a lot of gamblers has always spent so much money in casinos chasing their losses that can never be recovered. Thise who have more than they have lost in casinos are few, and whenever they win big, they will quit, if not their win will be used to gamble back in the casino, which they will end up losing all of it. The house edge always wins.

It is sad to see that the rate of human trafficking is increasing, due to jobless people also increasing every day in various countries. This is why people seek to travel abroad to a land of greener pasture. Unfortunately, these jobless citizens will see people that are ready to take them to abroad, unknown to them that they are going there for prostitution. When they get to that country, since they are new and don't know anybody there but only the person or company that took them there, they will be forced into prostitution, and if they refuse, they might get killed, or get drugged, so that men can have sex with them, so that the human traffickers can still achieve their aim. Before you know it the girls will not be able to resist this for a long time and they will involve fully into prostitution and paying some certain amount to their Boss.

I have seen some of these gurls that was taken abroad for prostitution, and they do regret that they were deceived and if these girls have the opportunity to kill the person that took them there, they will do it happily because it was not their wish to be prostitutes but they were forced into it because of the bad economy in their countries. I gave met a lady that told me about her experience in Italy, when she was deceived by her someone from her community that came back from Italy during the xmas holidays.

It is possible for one to link different addresses to a particular wallet to the seed phrase, and it is impossible for anyone to guess correctly the seed phrase of anyone, if not a lot of people bitcoin will be missing. Your seed phrase is unique because it is gotten from a random word.

Different bitcoin wallet addresses can only be connected to a specific wallet owner, if those addresses are sending bitcoin to one particular wallet address often

Addiction starts from when you have the intention to win big, you will be carried away by that goal and if you are the type that do have luck on little wins, you will no longer be contented with that anymore and you will start aiming to win big, by staking with bigger amount of money. This is where the problem lies, because you will forget that you can become addicted and greed will make you not see the consequences of gambling with big amount of money that you cannot afford to lose. From there, you will start chasing your losses.

Gambling should be a means of entertainment, but some people misunderstand this, and they want to make gamble a full-time job, as if they are the owner of the casino, or as if they were the ones that created the casino games. Imagine what this guy was doing, trying to win more money when his wife was in labor. Unknow to him that he will even lose the one that is with him. A gambler should only use the amount of money that he can afford to lose, so that he will be satisfied with the outcome of his bet, whether he wins or losses.



1194  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 21, 2024, 09:22:35 PM
Liverpool is having a lot of problems with players because they are in the injury area that cannot be confirmed, but this is a little fortunate because Luton's opponents are playing at Anfield at least they can be ambitious to win and maintain the current position.

Currently Luton is leading with 1:0 on  the12 minutes of the first half, actually they are very lucky with this early goal they scored because it will give them more energy to perform more than the way they are currently performing, Liverpool seem to have been making too much mistake on this match because if they had been more consistent they would have actually be the one to score instead of Luton because currently they have more possession than Luton but the difference is that Luton has the ability to utilize any opportunity they have, although with how the match is currently playing I think Liverpool will surely equalize because they are more in a good shape than Luton.
I did not expect that Liverpool would struggle to win against Luton Town because they are at home and Luton Town have failed to win three of their last matches in the Premier League. If Liverpool fails to win against Luton Town, Manchester City or Arsenal will overtake them at the top of the Premier League table.
Liverpool has taken the lead within two minutes and five seconds. The two goals was score with a brilliant header. The goal was equalized by Virgil on the 56th minutes, and the sec ond was by Gakpo on the 58th minutes. Liverpool are flying in the second half as they have done a welcome back.

Liverpool is pressuring their visitors, and the match is getting tensed. Luton shouldn't be a club that Liverpool will strive to win, and I hope to see more goals from Liverpool. Currently Liverpool have sealed up their defense and they wouldn't allow Luton to pass through.

Liverpool 2-1 Luton.

The game went more interesting when Liverpool got their first goal, which after some minutes they also got the second goal, but the most interesting part is how day just changed the game within a few minutes. I was even surprised when I saw Luton Town get the first goal in the match because I know Liverpool performance is not even close to being compared with them talking less of them struggling in the game, but the present results of 3-1 show that definitely Liverpool now owns that game, and if care is not talking, they will add more goals. 

Although the game is almost over, we can’t downgrade a minute in a game; it can change the narrative, so we will anticipate and see the final results of the game. 
Liverpool are now five point clear from Manchester city, who is now in the second position of the table, after they won their match yesterday against Brentford. It is clear from the look of thing on the ongoing match that Luton will not be able to equalize all three goals.

Elliot have showed his value and concept to Liverpool as took a beautiful strike to finish at the top corner of the post on the last minutes of the game before the extra time. The second half is an outstanding one for Liverpool, as they came out in an explosive form to mess Luton up, who thought that they can rub shoulders with Liverpool. Luton will remain on the 18th position. The match is in the extra time and still Liverpool is winning 4-1.
1195  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Another Newbie needing assistance on: February 21, 2024, 05:18:56 PM

1. Do i do the same and open various wallets and buy the coins that way or do I have to use an exchange like Coinbase or Binance to buy the coins?
2. If/when I want to sell the coins do i withdraw via the wallets or do i go onto an exchange and sell? Then transfer the money to my bank account.
3. Is there a secure wallet I can get with can hold all the coins in 1 place or do i have to open multiple wallets?

I am really sorry if these are basic questions for you but I fell my knowledge is very very limited weak in Crypto, the more I read on this forum the more confused i'm getting. I would like to buy and hold the coins long term but would also like to sell short term if I don't feel i have chosen the correct coin/s.

Can you please help/direct me on my journey?

OP welcome to the forum. I would advise you to buy bitcoin first and you should invest in a long term maybe 4-10 years and above.

1. If you are buying bitcoin, it is good that you create a self custody wallet like electrum wallet or blue wallet. For small quantity of bitcoin, you can keep it in electrum online wallet or blue wallet, or sparrow wallet, they are all good. You are to go to an exchange and register with them by creating an account on Binance or Kucoin. After that you are to use p2p for the purchase of your bitcoin, which the merchant bank details would be seen and you pay directly to his account the amount of bitcoin that you want to buy. After that, you should transfer  your bitcoin into your electrum wallet for safety, because you are in control of the private keys of an electrum wallet. If you leave your coins in an exchange, it can get stolen by hackers, or the exchange might pull an exit scam.

2. If you want to withdraw your coins, you go to your electrum wallet and transfer the bitcoin to your exchange bitcoin address and you can sell via p2p, just like the way you bought your coins.

3.For bitcoin self custody wallets are the best because they are open source, and if you have a big amount of bitcoin, it is good that you use hard wallets like Trezor or passport. For altcoins there are no open source wallet, so you can use feather or unstoppable wallet, or trust wallet.

It is better to use a separate wallet to store your bitcoin, and use only bitcoin wallets. You should use a different wallet for altcoins.
1196  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Are children born out of wedlock is still a blessing from God? on: February 21, 2024, 03:57:07 PM
OP, I don't know the country that you are from because I don't think that any child born out of wedlock would be abandoned or deprived his rights as member of the family. Religion do not also critize or forbid children born out of wedlock, we are now in a civilized society that it is not compulsory for people to get married first before they can give birth. Sometimes, the pregnancy was something that was not planned for but because they don't want to abort the baby, and they decided to keep the pregnancy, till the child is been given birth to. Sometimes, it is after the child has been given birth to that the parents will start preparing themselves for the wedding. It is when the parents are not concerned about their cohabitation that it might end up becoming a shame to them at old age for not getting married the proper way.

I have seen some people that they don't have money to start up a family in the right way, but after they have give birth to one child or tow children, there will be open doors of blessing to them due to the luck of the child or children, and the family will become rich and the needful would be done. From my traditional as long as you are the first male child, either through wedlock or not, he will be the heir to the throne. Children are gift from God, and we don't know the one that will finally be the pillar of the family.

Greed and lack of love, is what has led to them having a big win and chose to separate, without both of them benefiting from the win. €1M is a big amount of money that the lady can give her ex-boyfriend some share. If he claims 50-50,i will not agree with that because his name was not what was on the ticket, and someone somewhere has turned her mind against him.

However, if it was true that the guy was the one that told her to buy the scratch tickets, and she paid for it, then she should also give him a percentage of the money because without him insisting, she might not have bought those tickets. It is painful that money can make your best friend become your enemy. 60-40, or 70-30 will be nice.

However, we shouldn't use the past record to predict the future because it is not a guarantee.

Gold has been there for a very long time, and has be confirmed as a safe haven, but bitcoin is a baby just 14yrs and it has outperform every other assets, and it has shown that it is one of the best investment, infact it is the best investment currently. This circle is different and we can see bitcoin price higher than what we expected because of the approval of bitcoin ETF. Anyone that have his bitcoin investment, should hodli and see bitcoin as part of his life so that in future you will benefit from its compounding value. Do not put all your investment in bitcoin.

Less than 3 minutes till the Man City vs Brentford game. Let's have your predictions!

City lost points which Liverpool and Arsenal took advantage of and got a boost in the title race so City has to win here today to put the pressure on Liverpool and Arsenal and keep their title hopes alive.  This means that this match is one of those make or break moment for City.

That said, I'm predicting a City win here. Not sure of the actual scoreline. Odds available at BcGame and dropping fast

Edit: we're LIVE!
Manchester has been looking for ways to penetrate Brentford but it is just not working out for them because Brentford is paling a defensive game against Manchester City and I was shocked by the kind of shot foden and akanji are landing on the goal post of Brentford isn't fear any club you are supposed to be scared of manchester city I don't want them to win so that it will be an added advantage to us arsenal fans and am already having a feeling that this game will end draw because Brentford is doing very well in defending and manchester city wants to win by all means, and this second half Brentford is already leaving there house and they also want to school.  and that is what we and Liverpool have been praying for the same thing because the moment they get to that first position it will be a problem for everybody, so we can only hope on brentford not allowing them to win this evening.  and brentford are attacking from the left wing and they might get lucky.

Well now it seems the job is done. Brentford was barely able to create any chances and I think this goal will be enough and it is more likely if Brentford tries to attack that they get finished off with a counter attack. Of course it could go the other way, but that's not very likely to me.

It is great to see that Haaland is slowly getting back to his old form and he once again scored the can opener in this game and probably the winning goal. Haaland is still leaving out a few of his chances that he would usually convert into goals, but still he deserves to be on the pitch. It is too bad when injuries take him out. It would be sad to see this amazing player spent half of a season as a visitor in the stadium.

I am looking forward to March as that will be an amazing month for anyone who is following the Premier League. So many great games with Manchester City against United, Liverpool and Arsenal and the FA Cup and the Champions League of course. Those are the months that Guardiola loves.
Halaad is back on his scoring mood. He has scored two goals but one was canceled. It was a difficult first half for Man city, but Halaad was able to find the back of the net on the 71st minutes of the game through a counter.

Manchester City should try as much as possible to score a second goal to seal up their victory, because Brentford might just equalize the goal in the last minutes of the game.

Bitcoin was created as an alternative currency to fiat but due to the potential of bitcoin, the value of bitcoin increases with time line, and this has made people to use it more as an investment than using it for daily transactions.

Bitcoin investment is like a physical investment that needs time to grow before you can start reaping the profit, but is you just started a business and the business is in it's baby state, and you decide to start using the investment to take care of some bills, it means that the investment will crash.

This is the same with bitcoin, and this is why you must invest in a long term so that you can limit the risk and be sure of some profit in the long run. The investors that are in good profit are those that bottom during 2022 bottom line of 16k, and those that are hodling for up to two cycles now. However, it is not still late to benefit from bitcoin if you start now.
