Erling Haaland gave Manchester City an edge, but of it had not been for the support from those player's, he wouldn't have scored so much goals, and if you chech, most of em are completely tap in goals. He wouldn't have been able to create so much chances for himself alone.

Manchester City really play football like a machine. Gabriel Jesus had good statistics in this team. Sergio Agüero had good statistics in this team. Ilkay played in this region when the forwards were injured and got good statistics. Manchester City are playing with a tactic with a machine setup. No matter who you put forward in this team, they will have good statistics. Of course, Haaland is a great football player. He had already proven to be a great player in Borussia Dortmund. But I think it's easier to get great stats at Manchester City than it is to get great stats from other teams.

Yes, I believe you are correct. I have been considering that ever since I noticed how every Manchester City player plays the game like a machine. I admire the way they perform on the pitch because they always play with one another in mind, which makes them very difficult to defeat. Every Manchester City player who joins any other clubs, in my opinion, would be among the team's best players because they always play the ball normally, even when they are losing.
Everyone is aware that Halaand is not as good at Borussia Dortmund as he is at Manchester City, despite the fact that he is currently regarded as one of the top players in the world.
Before Erling Haaland came to Manchester City, the club had an almost perfect team that was lacking just a a world class striker and that was why Haaland's arrival was more like a match made in heaven.
City where ousted in the semi-final of 2021/22 UEFA Champions League competition because they lacked a striker like Haaland. Haaland before his arrival at City was already an established world class striker and that was why adapted easily

The biggest advantage for Manchester City is to have a young, wild and combative forward like Haaland. It has become a fearful dream of defenders in double fights. He is very fast for his size and has the vision to score any goal. It was a sweet touch to a perfectly functioning team, Haaland. I'm sure Bayern was very upset that they couldn't get him.
Yes, of course Erling Haaland made a very significant contribution to Manchester City and Erling Haaland became the Premier League's top scorer last season with 36 goals. And besides that, Erling Haaland is also the striker who has missed the most chances, and maybe if Erling Haaland had not missed these chances, maybe more goals would have been created.
Manchester City is already a scary team because it is under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola who is a very great coach, so what really influences the team is having a great coach plus having many quality players that make Manchester City even more perfect.

It sounds odd that the Olympics are allowed to use doping because the athlete gets an unfair advantage if the opponent is better doped.
because using doping is the same as doing sports or matches not based on ability or talent, it's just that they have extraordinary physical abilities. The hard work and determination of many sportsmen and coaches goes to waste and sport starts to lose its beauty and values, besides that doping can make people addicted and can cause some serious health problems.

Quote from: bittraffic link=topic=5458981.msg62516860#msg62516860
1st place: $500
2nd place: $250
3rd place: 150
4th: 100
5th:   25BTC

I know it will not happen anymore but if they organize a tournament again, participants might likely want BTC for the champ.

Lol,  Grin if this were to happen now, I would probably make sure I hit the 5th position, like who gives a Dem about 500$ for 1st position.

Well this really shows how people devalued Bitcoin back then and saw no future for it. Imagine the person who got the 5th position, must have hated him self. He probably would have sold the 25 btc or rather gave it out to someone as free gift.
Because back then it was very easy to earn more than 1 BTC and no one probably thought that the bitcoin price would go up, and as we all know the bitcoin price has been steadily increasing for the last decade.
and of course those who had a lot of bitcoins at that time felt very devastated when they saw the current bitcoin price or after reaching the highest ATH yesterday, but that is all in the past and will be a lesson. And I'm very grateful because some of my friends brought me to this industry and this forum and many happy stories and also very valuable lessons that I got while knowing bitcoin and also this forum.

Pochettino's burden is very heavy because Chelsea is currently a team that is in a very downturn and right now they are overhauling a lot of players in the squad so Pochettino has to reorganize this team from the start.
If you want to make Chelsea a top team again, Pochettino needs a process and time. I have a little doubt on the part of Chelsea's management, whether they will be patient because last season, as we know, Chelsea's management made decisions very recklessly which harmed this team.
Chelsea's management should be a little patient and give time to every coach they bring to their team, not immediately fire them when the team doesn't get good results. Next season everyone will see how Pochettino coaches the Chelsea team by applying the experience and method he already has at the moment, although Pochettino will have to change several players. And make old players better so that Chelsea can regain its achievements which were left far behind last season.
This was a Chelsea mistake last season that needs to be corrected and as I said before because Chelsea have been under three different coaches and also there have been squad changes throughout the season so the balance of the team has fallen apart.
because different coaches will have different strategies and players, and Chlesea must know because building a team is not easy in a short time and this must be a lesson.
and new Chelsea coach Mauricio Pochettino looks set to right the wrongs the Chelsea coach made last season to make a significant overhaul, and I can't wait to see what Chelsea will be like next season.

I had never been to a cruise ship casino and I thought it was only for people who have a lot of money, because of course cruises are very expensive. In addition to facilities, food and so on for a long time would require a very large cost.
but if you imagine it would be great fun to be on a cruise ship that has a casino, and I remember my old friend who worked on a cruise ship about casino stuff. He said most of the larger cruise ships have casinos, and they generally cannot play in them while in port because of the laws and regulations governing gambling. And they can only play while in international waters, unless the country where the port has allowed it.

I think the OP can't forget his childhood stories and it's because of overly strict parents who put a lot of pressure on his childhood, and when new or current stories have something in common that makes his past come back to him.
and at this time the OP's condition is married and has a wife and children which I think will definitely be tested with financial problems or other things that are very concerning and I understand what the OP feels and what the OP said because that situation made him think too far, and all that only for beloved family. And I've experienced this, it's very difficult and there will definitely be negative thoughts just to get money.

and my advice, face everything patiently and chase as much money as you need but don't exceed your ability. And don't forget to always pray to God and ask for what you need, especially asking for your health. And believe me your problem will definitely end as long as you are patient and keep working hard there will definitely be a way out to make everyone you care about happy.
1447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do 90% of Bettors Lose in Sports Betting in the Long-term? on: July 06, 2023, 08:02:51 AM
Placing bets based on guesswork simply doesn’t work!

I completely agree with you in this thing. I mean in general Gambling is game of luck. But if you talk about sports gambling or betting, then it’s a game of luck along with game of skill. If you don’t know about the game on which you are placing the bet, then definitely the chances of getting losses will increase. Before placing the bet analysing the game along with the players, weather conditions etc helps you to bet more precisely. If your skills are good in predicting the outcomes then definitely you can make good profits from sportsbetting.
It is always good to do research and analysis before placing any bets especially on football bets. And this may involve studying team statistics, form, injuries, weather and other relevant factors, and staying up to date with the latest news and developments in sports can help you.
but it's not that easy even if you have good skills in any form of betting, luck is still in any gambling. And it is important to note that even with any information or means, there is no guarantee of success in sports betting, and losses can still occur. But skill and knowledge only have a chance to win and there will definitely be time or opportunity to win and that is luck.
1448  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for July on: July 06, 2023, 04:56:46 AM
I voted for yes, because there are some signs that occurred early this month of July that made me to believe that the price will hit higher for investors to experience $40,000 before the end of this month. Over three days now, the price is still remain $30,000 show that what happened last season will not happen in this season and many investors are very ready to achieve passive income when the price increase higher in the market. I don't think, investors will experience low price before the end of this year 2023 because Bitcoin team are seriously working to allow their investors to breath well in this season by experiencing steady pumping through out this year so that they will have more opportunity to invest well again when the price decrease down next year.
I am also optimistic for the medium-term outlook for the bitcoin price by setting a target of $40,000. But I can't say that July or the end of July will hit that price, because the next bitcoin price target might be $32,000 to $34,000.
and I believe when the bitcoin price reaches that price there will definitely be a sell-off and cause the bitcoin price to drop back down, maybe below $30,000 which will cause another healthy correction that isn't too significant.
and that's all I think what's going on is that the increase in the price of bitcoin will surely come back down even though not much but it will still happen in the next few months, and implementing the DCA strategy is perfect for now.
1449  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How do I become a successful Bitcoin investor as a newbies? on: July 06, 2023, 02:09:59 AM
There is no other option to become a successful bitcoin investor, just buy every drop and Hodl for the long haul or you can buy as much as you can when the price is low and within your means, then leave with the best security, and come back when the bitcoin price is high. And this trail has been proven by those who knew and were involved in the bitcoin world at that time, and when the bitcoin price rose high they came back and were successful.

Since this thread is in the trading section, I recommend doing in-depth research on the cryptocurrency market and being knowledgeable about the bitcoin or coin you want to work with, understand the associated risks and historical performance of bitcoin, as well as market trends. Stay up-to-date with relevant news, other developments and regulations, and any factors that may affect the price of bitcoin and with that you can make short or medium term profits.
1450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If I have 1BTC So how did I use to invest in different Coins on: July 05, 2023, 03:54:53 PM
I would rather keep my BTC rather than investing it into different coins other than ETH if you’re thinking long-term.

Both BTC and ETH are worth to DCA (dollar-cost averaging), as they are the top 2 coins in market capitalization.

Although I am not discouraging you from trying it in other coins and tokens, it’s just that they are only great for short and mid-term.

Just my own opinion.
Certainly most people or investors in the cryptocurrency space are probably best served or owned by holding some ethereum and some bitcoin because bitcoin and ethereum have proven to provide very satisfactory returns over the long term. But if I had to choose between the two giant coins, it would be bitcoin.
bitcoin remains my priority besides being safe and comfortable, bitcoin is also the most popular coin and also the first digital coin that can influence the crypto market. And both are also the best choice to execute the DCA strategy by buying regularly at a predetermined time according to ability and also increasing purchases when there is a decline and aiming for the long term, and this will create very satisfying profits in the future.
so you have to own bitcoin and ethereum and do it for the long haul.
1451  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I sold the altcoins and invested in Bitcoin" on: July 05, 2023, 01:38:16 PM
Now my question is, is it good for my future that I have sold my altcoins and invested in bitcoins?
Having some altcoins that are good while you have more bitcoins is also good. But since you have decided own only bitcoins and have change all your altcoins to bitcoins, it is also good to me as you have saved yourself from the stress of having many cryptocurrency to worry about to focusing on just one which is bitcoin. For long term, bitcoin is always a preferred option to keep than altcoins. Altcoins can fall in price and never recover, or recover but do not grow, but with bitcoins, even when the price falls, it is an opportunity to buy more because the price will get back up, and even higher.
Yes, actually the OP's decision was not wrong because bitcoin is a safer and more profitable place to invest. And I suggest doing it for the long term and never be satisfied with the bitcoins you have, but buy them regularly, especially when the bitcoin price drops, you can increase your purchases and hold them for the long term.
even if you go by what most people say or think, as long as you have bitcoin for the long term it shouldn't worry you, unless you own a few altcoins because most of them especially newer altcoins, mostly end up disappointing.
1452  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whats your thought on: July 04, 2023, 06:56:15 PM
In addition to positive news and the effect of increasing the price of bitcoin which is more influential due to market demand, the price of bitcoin is heavily influenced by market demand. If the number of people buying and trading bitcoins increases, then the price of bitcoins will tend to rise.
and this is because many people and also various groups are involved with bitcoin and bitcoin will continue to be popular from time to time, even though it continues to decrease but will eventually increase again. And many people admit that bitcoin is a very profitable investment, especially for the long term.
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 04, 2023, 06:17:54 PM
There has been a lot of discussion about whether it is difficult or easy to quit gambling. Gambling is a bad addiction and quitting it is not a very easy task. quitting gambling requires high self-effort and self-control. otherwise, quitting gambling will be a very difficult task. I can say that it is not difficult for me to quit gambling because I have control over myself and I know that I am not deeply addicted to gambling. so quitting gambling will not be the same for everyone. For some it will be easy and for some it will be very difficult.

I think you can only say that because you are not playing gambling most of the time. Playing frequently doesn’t mean you addicted but rather you just like the concept of the gambling because it provides entertainment. Maybe you have other things that gives you entertainment which is why you are not fully soaked on playing gambling.

It’s only easy to quit gambling if you really don’t like it or you are afraid on the potential loss due to the risk involved. But real gambler that having fun playing will definitely have a hard time to stop playing because this were they get the fun.
Yes I don't gamble all the time and I myself realize that I am not addicted to gambling because gambling doesn't motivate me too much. i gamble sometimes just for fun so I think it's much easier to quit gambling. but quitting gambling may not be an easy task for a gambling addict. However, people can do anything if they try, but gambling addicts do not seem to be motivated to quit gambling. that is the problem. So it can be said that quitting gambling is not an easy task
Me too, I only bet on the weekends and that's if I want it.
I think addicts can reduce it by staying busy, by having full-time jobs and side jobs where you won't have time to gamble, and doing it with the consistent intention that you want to stop or minimize it.
those who become addicts because they don't have a serious job so they think gambling is their activity, gambling is not evil, it's just that the players are too carried away so they can't control themselves.
most of those who gamble for fun have productive activities or jobs that they think are more important, and gamble only in their spare time with sufficient capital and only for fun. So gambling just for fun is very easy to stop, they will think gambling is not a place to make money and a place to make money is just working or using skills to make money.
1454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: July 04, 2023, 12:38:57 PM
Personally, I think PSG's owners should learn from Manchester City's example.
Both clubs have very rich owners, but Manchester City is still a more successful club than PSG. Why is that so?
Why did Manchester City finally manage to win the Champions League and PSG not even though they have three of the best footballers in the world, Mbappe, Neymar and Messi?
It is not enough to just bring the best players, you also need to have a top coach who will know how to create a strong team, as Pep for example.
Also, long-term systematic work and vision are needed, and PSG does not have that. How many coaches have they changed in recent years?
What about Manchester City?  Grin

I totally agree with you on this. The reason why they haven't been doing well in the Champions League is completely the owners' fault. They have changed their manager so many times so far but they still couldn't find the right one. Instead of making this many changes they should have just brought one of the best managers and been patient about him.

Ancelotti was brought here in 2012 but stayed only for one season. He joined Real Madrid after that. I think PSG should have done their best to keep Ancelotti back then. Because looking at their history of managers he has been the best manager choice in last 10 years. I think they could have already been champions with him in the Champions League.
When a club find it so difficult to picture out a good coach that can work for the club it is usually a problem,  let's look at Chelsea, the club have been struggling with getting a good coach and for some period of time they have changed different coaches, all this times they have been able to come out with a very poor results at the end of the season. Chelseas has good players but their performance is still very poor,  I think this is the same issue PSG is experiencing having good players but no good coach.

For a team to do very well the club needs to consider to get a good coach , because just having quality players most times won't make the team to win trophies. A experienced coach who knows how to win games is very important.
It is very clear that the role of a coach is very vital in a football club, because they play a major role in the whole process of training and preparation before matches so that they are able to create a solid and strong team when competing.
Chlesea and PSG are big clubs and have many great players, but all of this will not have a big impact if it is not handled by the right and great coach.
and because the coach determines the results of a team from a football club in one season, his role is very vital and far more vital than a player even though the player is great. And it is the coach who will determine the fate of the club to be at the top, middle or bottom of the standings, so indeed their role is very vital and it is the coach who determines the fate of the club in the standings and also as a champion.
1455  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why Not Just Buy BTC? on: July 03, 2023, 04:30:54 PM
I've seen over one dozen websites believing that BTC will skyrocket in the upcoming years.
The platform I use is Coinbase.
I'm thinking of just buying BTC-USD and just leaving it be.
Any thoughts on this strategy?


To invest in bitcoin, the method is very easy, even easier than investing in other assets. It is not only easy but also safe to store your purchased bitcoins in a private wallet where only you know the private key, and don't leave your bitcoins on exchanges as it is dangerous.
how to buy bitcoin at a low price and hold it for the long term is the best choice and also very profitable, and also your DCA strategy is to only make purchases periodically or at the time you have set and the goal is the same for the long term. And that second way is the best way as long as you do it for bitcoin in the long term and it will definitely give you very good returns, as long as you have to be patient and believe that the bitcoin price will skyrocket.
1456  Economy / Economics / Re: Why you should use spare money to invest on: July 03, 2023, 11:56:53 AM
Investment is indeed very important to guarantee a pleasant future or old age, but investing also has a risk that we must accept if one day it doesn't go as expected, but for the long term in my opinion the risk is very small, even non-existent and the most important thing is investing in the right place and also safe.
Using money that you can afford to lose or reserves is intended so that you are not too disappointed when you experience a loss, by setting aside money from money after you have prioritized needs, installments, savings, and for unexpected money. And you can invest the rest, and invest what you can gradually, much better and for the long term.
1457  Economy / Economics / Re: Is this a Strategy? Is it a good Strategy? on: July 03, 2023, 11:06:09 AM
Even though we can judge which is the setting and which is real, usually the celebrity problems that have been planned will be full of emotional drama and no one will give in, and will continue to end without explanation. And this is just to provoke social media to expose them and become a hot topic which makes their name popular again.
but usually problems like this end up endlessly and just disappear and the goal is for them to continue to exist, and this will make a lot of invitations from several television shows that make them popular again and a lot of money.
1458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you been threaten to stop gambling on: July 03, 2023, 07:33:35 AM
~ How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.

For someone who is a responsible gambler there would be nothing much to tell. Relatives, wife or parents, wouldn't be threatening such a person, because would know that gambling is entertainment for him, and if he's working and making money with his job, he needs some fun too, needs it for relaxation, to do his job better and to earn even more money.
I don't think the person the OP is referring to is a responsible gambler, if the person is a responsible gambler he wont really have problem with his wife even after she was able to access her husbands phone and she notice that her husband is a gambler. Maybe the are having financial crisis, maybe the husband have been complaining about lack of money, but she was just surprise to see her husband to have wasted lots of money on gambling, definitely her wife will be mad at him, because she believe her husband is wasting money on what those not really worth it.

If the Op is not addicted, i see no reason why he should be hiding it from his wife that he is not a gambler, nothing is bad in gambling but don't just be addicted to gambling.

Well, in that case he should seek professional help to get off from addiction. It works. A good friend of mine was suffering from gambling addiction 4 years ago, and he was helped by professionals and there were no incidents since.

But also know that often family members and friends have prejudices about gambling activity. They think every gambler is addicted by definition. Which is certainly not true.  Only around 5% of gamblers are problem gamblers, according to various reports.
In order to leave in to addiction the gambler itself must help themselves to separate their lives in to the gambling world and yes by the help of some professional and expert the addict of gambling can still leave from addiction. But the addict himself he must know that self control is the only way to leave addictions or else he will find some other happiness in order to forget gambling industries.
You have to do it, if you want to stop gambling you must have a strong intention from yourself to do so because this is the main point besides professional help or any other help.
a wise gambler must have a target when to stop and when to live comfortably, in my opinion when you have a family you have to get out of the gambling industry. Because family is the most important thing for us to prioritize because families really need money for many needs, think about if you continue to gamble and lose after marriage, what will happen to your family. And what if it continues like that, and I'm sure your wife will be angry and even ask for a divorce.

I mean gambling addiction and if you have a family you should treat it immediately so your wife and children don't suffer. And no gambling addict can make a family happy, otherwise the household will be full of emotions because of gambling addiction.
1459  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 02, 2023, 05:03:03 PM
As we all know that the age limit for gambling in casinos varies from country to country and can also depend on certain casino policies. And in most countries the minimum age for gambling in casinos is 18 years, there is also in some countries the age limit may be 21 years or more.
and 18 years and over are considered adults, but it is important to remember that gambling can be addictive and can have negative social and financial consequences, so it is important to gamble responsibly and really think maturely and play maturely to avoid addiction.
At least between 18-21 years of age a person becomes an adult then he has the right to do everything on his own knowledge. and even though he has been allowed to do everything since then, including gambling, drinking, but today's youth doesn't care about age. Kids also now spend time online gambling away from their parents.  Because only one smartphone is enough to play online gambling and a smartphone is a common Daily tools for everyone now. So adults with kids find it difficult to control themselves from gambling
That's what you really have to think about, because it's easy to find online gambling sites and the way to register is very easy, even online gambling sites that use KYC that are underage can still do it by falsifying their identity.
so actually the age limit is just a formality because there are indeed many underage gamblers who are involved in online gambling, and are also supported by the majority of underage children who use smartphones.
1460  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Would you dare to pawn your bitcoin? on: July 02, 2023, 04:51:31 PM
But like what I've said above , now I will consider what Dave says and yes never that I will pawn my precious bitcoin , I would rather borrow from all sorts that letting others have control and hold my Bitcoin.

I remember those threads that using their Bitcoin as collateral and in the end , they regret that action and I don't wanna be one , I will keep hold my coins no matter what Happen , I would rather pawn my house or car than pawning my Coin ..

Same here.

If I needed money I would prefer to sell things, but even in the hypothetical situation where I only had the possibility to pawn, I would pawn anything rather than bitcoin. There is an essential difference. You can't easily take a house with you on a plane thousands of miles away, or send it to someone easily. With bitcoin you can, and that's why I think it's essential to keep the keys.
Makes sense, and also to prevent things that are not desirable. And if we really like our old bitcoins with minimal hurdles I don't think we need to pawn them or store them on any platform just to get something, and there are lots of other ways to cover what we really need even for emergencies.
I believe everyone has valuable items such as houses, cars or other expensive items that I think makes more sense to pawn to get what one wants. And if you have a lot of bitcoins, you can also sell some bitcoins according to your needs and this will be safer because you don't have to think about installment fees. And you can also buy back bitcoins when you have a lot of money, it's that simple.
