1321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024⚽ on: November 13, 2023, 02:10:12 PM

I don't think Napoli will be too strong in the Champions League this season, even though they managed to reach the last 16 but the strength of other teams will be able to stop their progress this season. Maybe it was a good effort by Napoli management to immediately fire Rudi Garcia because they could bounce back if they found a better coach.

the decision of pointing a new manager makes Napoli not having improvement from last season. This factor makes people not putting Napoli a favorite, despite of Napoli the champion of Serie A. the results from last few games has proven this issue is quite serious. the absence of Victor Osimhen is another factor. his contributions to Napoli team is irreplaceable.

but I dont think that sacking Rudi Garcia is a good idea, because that would put Napoli in the same situation again. They need improvement, not starting a new idea that doesnt guarantee them to be better than current form.

The games against Ajax were a big opportunity for Brighton to make up for their bad results in the group before. However I still can't be sure of them when it comes to being assertive for the Europa League title. They were considered as one of the top title contenders by bookmakers before the tournament started.

But now we see that they are quite an unbalanced team. Maybe they will be likely to move on to next round but it is very difficult for them to be more successful with this inconsistency. They are even worse in the Premier League recently as they couldn't win a game for a long time.

Brighton, since the last three seasons, are a team to watch. many teams know how they play, that makes them well-anticipated. lost their best players also affects them badly. De Zerbi is still working on settling their group of players while having different players to rely on.

I think Brighton will win against Ajax. beside Ajax are on a bad form, Brighton love to play against teams that play open football like Ajax. Brighton can get good results against teams who play intense pressing, but they struggle against teams that play with deep defense. Ajax in the league so far have just won 3 games, that's so bad for a them. and Brighton are 8th on Premier League table, but they haven't won in the last 5 games.

When you gamble with bitcoin the value of bitcoin can change fast. This might affect how much you win. Your bet might be worth more or less when you cash out. Making the gambling more unpredictable. So it's good to think about these changes when using Bitcoin for betting. Using fiat for gambling is better because its value doesn't change fast like Bitcoin, making it easier to predict how much you might win or lose when betting.

exactly this is the reason I never use Crypto for gambling. I can't imagine that I win big at gambling, then when I want to cash out, the crypto price has gone down, because we don't do gambling/betting for 5 or 10 minutes, sometimes from putting bets to cashing out takes times for hours while crypto prices can change in minutes.

buying cryptocurrency is actually like gambling itself. it won't feel good that you put more risk when all you want at gambling is just fun. it would be torturing your feeling.

It would be very interesting to see this confrontation. A confrontation between truly strong teams. But I think that this is possible, since people come from different groups and we need to get to this point and not get into trouble. Nowadays games have become so unpredictable that it is difficult to predict anything.
I see that predictions are still difficult only for group F, while for the other groups it is getting easier to make predictions about who will qualify and who will not. Everyone can see how far apart the strong teams in the group that I mean are, because a mistake by one team can make them fail to qualify and be a big benefit for the other teams to be able to qualify more easily. Meanwhile, for the other groups, it is not too complicated to make predictions about which team will advance to the next round.

Group F consists teams which have inconsistent form. for example, Dortmund gained only 1 point in their first two games, now they are top of the group, Newcastle had a convincing start, now they are at the bottom of the group. I can see this group will go to the last games to decide who will progress to the next round. Betting for this group is fun and also nervous, because each game has good good odd for the bet.

Other groups are so expected. I feel that putting bets on these group is not so fun, because it has small odd, and can make us having depression if we lose the bets.

While gambling some people gamble with small amounts which is not very important for them, but for those who are new to gambling and not able to control themselves or play with something reasonable amount.
So I have a tip for them you can stick a real paper money note in front of your monitor which will remind you that money is hard to earn and play responsibly or don't play with big amounts.
the note will remind every time that how you earned that money, and if you are controlled and this tip is not very important for you them you can ignore it, but i found this helpful.

I have never heard this method before and I don't think this is a good idea to do, because it would invite more unnecessary nerve while playing and  it affects decisions making at putting bets. When you are at gambling, Money you use should be money that you can afford to lose. You can't go into gambling while still not sure how much money to play. that's torturing your feeling.

being responsible at gambling is just about not putting yourself into finance loophole, nothing to do with how big the bet you put.

That would be very strange if arsenal was losing against burnley. Burnley seems go back again to the championship division very soon. Arsenal is far above burnley in any aspects. No chance for burnley to win the game.

In my opinion that if arsenal was totally over power for burnley. This result is a common result when a club like burnley must have faced the difficulty in beating the club like arsenal.

It's caused by there have been very big gap between these clubs. It needs a miracle for burnley to beat arsenal but yeah this is a sense result.

I don't mind it as burnley was also a weak team. congrats arsenal.
From all aspects, Arsenal is superior in all areas compared to Burnley so they deserve to win. But in my opinion, in this big win, Arteta still has work to do because the back line still has a lot to improve. If Burnley is a weak team, they should have to keep a clean sheet, but Arsenal find it very difficult to keep a clean sheet. I think this needs to be fixed by Arteta. So Arsenal needs more shots towards the opponent's goal to increase their chances of scoring goals. This victory is important for Arsenal to maintain their temporary standings before the international break.

Arsenal are a team have the most balance options in every position. the quality of their backup players are almost no gap. the only issue is their defensive structure can quite change when the Saliba or Gabriel is absence. their backup CenterBacks don't have a good quality at building attacks from the back. winning against Burnley is quite comfort for them, but they would struggle when they face a good team.

They try to increase the quality of attacks without decreasing the quality of defensive structure. Arteta is working on this issue, but he hasnt founded the solution so far. this affects on how they maintain their form throughout the season.

This big win also proved it to all fans because many doubted that Real Madrid would win if there was no JUde. Even now, without Jude, Real Madrid can win big, and in this match, Vini is finally seen playing again without doing much dribbling, he has returned to Vini who is looking for a goal like the champion he won last time. It was great to see Vini score some great goals from outside the box, his evolution has been spectacular and he is still improving a lot.

In this match, Vini and Rodrygo were great for me, Carvajal, Lunin, Kroos and Valverde also really stood out in this match. If Real Madrid players come back on fire like this they will win the Laliga title this season. Currently Barca is trailing 0-1 from Alaves, a goal scored by Omorodion in the 1st minute, this will be the match, will Barca be able to come back?
In my opinion I think that despite the fact that Jude Bellingham has been in a good form and has currently scored the highest goal for them since his arrival to the club, Realmadrid is balanced without him when they face Mediocre teams in LaLiga,  cause they still got several other top quality players that could help them get better results in situations where Jude Bellingham is absent, they could only have issues when the face tougher teams without his presence.

 I think they're the most likely team to win the Laliga this season cause their squad looks more balanced than their arch rivals Barcelona who are currently having challenges with injuries in different areas of the squad and I believe that's why they're finding it difficult to score more goals and are even conceding against Alaves that they should be finding it easy to beat.

Real Madrid have the best squad depth in Midfield, even the quality among them has almost no gap. they have seniors and young players which are ready whenever they are needed. the absence of Jude Bellingham is never a big issue for them, even though it just gives them the a little effect at their attacks. Ancelotti knows how utilize each player he has for every situation they face.

This balance of the squad always gives them confidence that they would always be the most favorite team to win the league, because there is no other team matches their squad balance. Barcelona have a dropping balance everytime their important player is unavailable.

I'm not an expert in this industry; I just know something that can be considered in cryptocurrency anyway. Maybe what I can tell you is that you should continue "Do your own research."

Because you know that scams and fraudulent schemes still exist in these things, the second is to choose a long-term investment because you also know that cryptocurrency is very volatile in the market. The third is don't just stick to one crypto asset; you should try to look around for other cryptos that also have the potential to keep up with Bitcoin when it rallies, like ETH and BnB, and this is where the DYOR dude comes in.

in every investment, you always need to do your own study and not just rely from someone else's opinion. because learning on your own will give you better insights on a particular subject. it will also give you a hint if your investment is going in the positive direction or not.
as we have seen throughout the years, thousands of alts have been created, and yet only few survive and still trading in the market. some may give you profits but more then likely it is only for short-term. discard as soon as you can get profit as they will disappear without a warning.

business, especially investment, is something you need to do on your own will and knowledge, because it contains risks for your life to afford that you can't blame others if you fail. when you start an investment or a business, that means you have passed the phase of learning, you are entering the phase of real life.

the high risk high reward investment in cryptocurrency is something that you need to have high confidence to start. beside you need to know the insights of the subject, you also need to have learned from others' experiences, because this investment keeps on evolving years after years. cryptocurrencies business also plays with psychology aspect that you can't get it just by learning from informations you read.
1329  Economy / Economics / Re: Being rich = not looking at price tag on: November 12, 2023, 03:04:46 PM
I often read people saying they want to earn enough money so they don't have to look at price tag of product. Imo, even if you are rich you wouldn't want to spend money on things that are not worthy of price being paid.

You wanna look at product and then it's price, if it's worthy of price, you purchase the product.

As it is just a type of proverb that people have made about their rich feelings. For example a person wants to earn enough money so that he can pay any type of bills whether in any restaurant or anywhere he wants he have enough money to buy a thing he likes and he wants. So it also depends on the person hoe and where he utilize its money.

Lot of people have this type of issue that they really like to have money but can't struggle for it as they don't want to carry burden on their neck which is their mistake.

being rich people is about being people who are comfort at spending money. if you are not comfort at spending money, you are not a rich people even if you have 1 million dollars income per month. this doesn't always means being comfort at spending on expensive products, but any price of products. people actually see products on its values, price tag is just commercial aspect that has become a prestige for some people. people would buy products they need whatever the price, because the need is basic value for some product.

It must be very painful to be faced with losing in the final minutes of a match and I didn't expect Empoli to do it at home to Napoli. Napoli had to accept this unexpected defeat in front of their fans and this was a bad result in the midst of top competition. Napoli should have been able to beat Empoli easily, but what happened was unexpected and Napoli couldn't even score a goal in this match. Napoli also made substitutions but that didn't change any impact on the match. Rudi Garcia looks like he will receive a stern warning after this match and it is possible that his fate as Napoli coach is only a matter of time until he is finally fired by the Napoli owner.

This is shocking, very unexpected from Napoli. lost to a low-table team while playing at home is something that hits their confidence so hard as a defending champion. it seems that Napoli are entering a bad phase of form after also dropping points in the last Champions League match. this makes the position of manager being questioned in this unconvincing start of the season.

Rudi Garcia need to sort out this situation soon as they can't continue bad results keep coming if they want to stay in title race. There is no reason for him to not challenge the league title.

Very curious to see what Leverkusen will do against Union today. Will they be able to win and get back 1st position from Bayern ? Or they will choke and lose points against Union Berlin ? because frankly , Union is in a desperate situation in Bundesliga with 5 defeats in a row , 17th place that will automatically relegate them at the end of the season so I do expect them to actually put up a fight against Leverkusen today or the rest of the season will be a disaster for them.. . Last year Berlin already lost one team and it would be a shame if they will remain without any football clubs in first division by next year.  Smiley

Leverkusen should win this game to take the top back from Bayern. if they Drop points this time, that will affect their mentality remembering that it's not easy to compete with bayern from behind. Xabi Alonso should prepared his team to face Berlin who are in fighting spirit to gain positive result after negative trend they experienced so far.

I think Alonso knows that it's not easy to fight that kind of team. His team cant relax while seeing Bayern taking the lead on the table. Berlin are actually a bad team, but they are just in a very bad form right now. but I think Leverkusen will be well-prepared and win the game.

Finally Tottenham Hotspur has been exposed this season, I believe that I mistaked the fact that they win matches as them being a contender to the English premier league. But I think all that has been exposed.
Chelsea really broke them and today they were lucky to get the lead over wolves but they did not make that count and wolves equalised then later won all in the additional time. I don't think Tottenham Hotspur are a challenger for the prestigious English premier league anymore.

Tottenham being exposed is closely related to their main players pick injuries and suspensions and the quality of their squad depth has a big gap to their first IX. This is actually predicted, because their best player this season, Maddison, is an injury prone and most of the players are mistake prones, especially players in defensive line.

Tottenham being favorite is not about their capacity to win the league, but it's just they play good football after all this time. Ange really change them to a compact and tactical team with good variations of attacks. Premier League fans just think that They have a new team to watch. honestly, No one have ever been thinking that Tottenham are title contender.

Only 2-2 between Lecce and Milan.
AND THEY GOT LUCKY.
They removed the 3-2 for Lecce at 94' with the Var.

Poili once again is at risk.


I think this has been at worrying rate for the club as big as Milan. after winning against PSG in Champions League, they struggled against mediocre club. this inconsistency is already at a low level. if this inconsistency continues, their project to be back being a giant club has to restart, and it will take time again.

it's not secret anymore that Pioli is in questionable position to lead Milan's project. His tactics is now so predicted, no variation. he doesn't how to utilize other options in the squad and how to develop young talent. Milan can't keep deliver him new good players due to current financial capacity. it's been so clear to be seen that the respect he earns from players is dropping off. this is not how Milan should have been.

"Having financial stability" and "having income" are two different thing. You can have income but that doesn't guarantee you have stable finance in your life. Financial stability means that your stable income is higher than your stable outlay.

the right age to have financial stability is just about your choice of life. it starts when you choose to have a stable / permanent job, or it's often when you choose to have your own family. when you have living load, you want to have your capability to carry it. that's the time for financial stability.
1335  Economy / Economics / Re: The impact of war on global economy. on: November 11, 2023, 04:32:09 PM
War in most cases usually drives a country into debt and the creditor nation takes advantage of this. It also leads to inflation, thereby making commodity prices to be higher than normal hence reducing the purchasing power.
That was what a powerful country wanted. they deliberately created the war just to control the victim country in the future. I am not surprised by the powerful country's strategy because we experienced since a long time ago. The problem now is why isn't it stopped by the UN, and why is it helped by allies?. even if they were aware, the allied countries felt the impact also, their currency was also compromised affecting the dollar. And there are some citizen countries who were involved in the war hard to find food and very frugal to keep the money because of the high cost of gas to heat the room.


the sides who wanted war are not Countries but Capitalists, the ones who can have benefits from it. no country can have benefits from war, even countries those are not involved in war will experience losses from other's war, because there are possibilities that a countries need some products form a country that involved in war.

This is why war can disrupt global economic where some capitalists take advantages form it. for example, Capitalist can play the price of products that are needed the most by countries who import those products from countries that involved in war who cant export the products anymore.

China is purely a mysterious country; there is nothing we don't know about them until they decide to say so. But one of my friends is starting a business in China, and he said that China is a good country to do business in, and you can do whatever you want. But you can't be against politics and can't question authority. But it's an economically highly ambitious country, even though we only know the half truth. Still, at least in the town areas, they promote the economy; there is no doubt that otherwise, they haven't had the highest GDP growth. Even the global spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has opened up opportunities for China to expand its influence.

China is a big country that, in economic aspect, provide big market and many low paid workers. their culture is so competitive at trading in their own country and with other countries. despite being in so far east, China have long history in trading with Egypt and even Europe.

to start business in china or with china is something can be said easiest compared to other countries in the world, because they biggest human resource in the world. their work ethic at trading is the best thing they have that makes china is economically powerful. Their GDP throughout years is up and down, but never been in worrying situation. 
1337  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: November 11, 2023, 03:54:28 PM
for example of a big country like the US, where the unemployment rate for graduates is 4,1% as of April 2023. meanwhile, in my country, it's 8,3% in the latest update. Some people might think there are a lot of unemployed folks because they didn't land recognized jobs, but the truth is they're still earning.
It could be because there is no recognition of the work they do so that people think the percentage of unemployment is very large and I myself also think so if I don't see the percentage like you shared. But there are times when this percentage is not completely accurate, such as poverty percentage data which is often released by the government and it could be that the percentage input taken does not cover the entire human population.

When you decide to pursue education solely for the purpose of getting a job, it seems like a template followed by many, sorry if I see it as a realistic robot-like approach. I prefer someone who learns with the aim of gaining knowledge and lets jobs that require knowledgeable individuals come to them.
There is nothing wrong with people's approaches and thinking patterns like that, but what I mean is that education is not a strong reason for people to get a decent job like they want because there are many people working in sectors that were not in demand before. But slowly they start to enjoy it because there are not much better opportunities in other sectors to work. Education is a place to gain knowledge and work requires skills and will provide opportunities for those who have skills.

Make the company apply to you, not you who apply to the company. This is the level where you will truly have more value than the average person.
This depends on how the company sees the individual and skill should be a strong reason to choose us, not because they have had higher education which is their reference in assessing them.
People pursue education means basically to have a better life, but then better life is defined as having better paid job. the thing about having higher degree of education will make you get a better paid job is only applied in developed countries, because other than those countries, they have no systems to direct graduated students to have the jobs that aligned with their degrees.

more companies choose experienced employers rather than educated employers. this is the situation that creates stigma than education wont guarantee a better paid job, and that education is just a choice, not necessity.

You wanna look at product and then it's price, if it's worthy of price, you purchase the product.

Not looking at a price tag? I always hear this in networking business seminars when their motivational speaker has a mindset. Because that's one of the ways they hype their viewers.

Now here in what we are talking about, if you are a rich person, there are still many rich people who ask the price they will buy. Most of the rich people are stingy, that's why they always ask the price tag, but when it comes to their business, even dear, they don't mind the costs because, of course, it produces money for them.

There are two practical definitions of "price tag" for rich people; comfortness and prestige. Rich people tend to buy a product that is a more expensive product in comfort place rather than to buy the same product in a crowded place, for example; they choose to have lunch in five stars restaurant rather than to have lunch in public restaurant.

being rich people is actually about having more freedom at choosing thing, because they can afford more things than other people. price tag is a absurd stereotype for people who care more about prestige, not about the price itself.
1339  Economy / Economics / Re: AI will put an end to work, says Elon Musk on: November 11, 2023, 03:14:44 PM
During an uncommon interview conducted by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, the tech billionaire Elon Musk predicted that if AI is not regulated, there will be a time when no job will be needed. This means that AI tools would take over the entire work of men making paid jobs become reductant. He even claimed that humanoid robots might be a perfect friend for one of his sons who is having difficulty in having friends. I have always believed that regardless of how sophisticated these AI tools become, they will never replace humans. But hearing this prediction for an individual who has a full understanding of the AI sector is frightening. Elon Musk owns an AI company, xAI, that is competing with big AI firms like OpenAI, Google and Anthropic.

These comments can increase the fear and anxiety workers always had that these super-computers will replace them in future. What are your thoughts regarding the statement by Elon, do you think we should take him seriously?

I thought the same too. AI has definitely had a big impact on IT professionals, and there are no longer any doubts regarding this. And we are expecting this soon too. I cannot say it's possible to build a positive or negative impact, but I am damn sure that not only tech people are afraid of this change but also people in other fields like editors, photographers, artists, writers, etc. Even though AI is still not widely approved, we all know it's no longer the case all the time. I don't know how worse the scenarios will become when we replace human effort with AI, but I hope we can regulate every technology in a useful manner.

the impact of AI is remarkably scary for next generation. it's not only about people's job, but also about human's education. many students now use AI to have light efforts for his study. This downgrades the level of learner's attitude, not only student, but also teachers, because "study" is not only about transfer knowledge, but also about transfer values and social interactions for students to be ready living in the real world.

AI can cause the culture in educational institutions may change drastically into robotic creativities. Art and intelligence could be having low quality in every aspect of human life.

Regarding Leverkusen, I think the performance Xabi Alonso had in this team was really good and now Leverkusen is in first place in the Bundesliga table while didn't spend too much money like Bayern Munich did this season with Tuchel and there is still a two-point gap between them and Leverkusen.
Also, the next game for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga is not hard because Union Berlin didn't start the season well and they had a disappointing performance so far.

Just hope Bayern Leverkusen will continue in this great form, they need more consistency and focus more on utilizing this opportunity of topping the table with 2 points. My only fear is that most of the bundesliga teams often concede defeat to Bayern Munich when the league is about to come to an end.

I remember RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund having an edge against Bayern munich but all of a sudden they began to drop form and lose the title race to Bayern Munich so i just hope that Bayern Leverkusen will not also do the same. So far they've been in very impressive performance and i must commend their resilience, they've done well and they need to do more in other to crown their efforts.

We just really hope that Bundesliga have different winner each season, it's so boring all this time. but still, it's hard to put hope on Bayer Leverkusen, because this will be the first time for them being in title race after a long time, the manager, Xabi Alonso, is lacking experience as manager. all the teams, like mysteriously, who have ever competed with bayern experience a drop off at the ending season games.

I think there are 3 teams this season who can challenge Bayern for the title; Dortmund, Leverkusen and Leipzig. only the most consistent team will survive fighting against Bayern, my prediction is Leipzig, because they are prepared enough and have experience at challenging Bayern.
