Newcastle United and Manchester United in the race with top fourth position standing awhile after both team winning last night match, Newcastle won 1-5 from West Ham United and one goal from Marcus Rashford helped Manchester United keep in the top fourth standing having the same points with Newcastle on 3rd standings.

Talking about chance who will finish on 3rd standing for both team between Newcastle and United seems have the same chance, left matches Newcastle against Spur, Chelsea and Arsenal are potential team for stopping Newcastle points. In another side, Manchester United have several big matches left against Spur and Chelsea.

Better for Manchester United staying below Tottenham, they didn't only win last match to be in their favour, they also have another match to conquer to reach the current match week of the league which round 29, that been said. I think they should be able to win their next match with Everton with the way they are in form, that will hep Manchester to stay ahead of Newcastle if they failed to convert their next match to points.

It is possible for the Manchester United and Newcastle to finish the league on the top 4, they still have strong forms and I think your are right about Arsenal winning Newcastle but I don't think they have good chance of winning except Frank Lampard has a method to transfrom the blues for good this time.

I'm surprised Zidane still isn't keen on facing a big club in the Premier League, and if it's Chelsea he's in charge, we can at least see a good game. Despite Zidane's disinterest, I think he prefers to remain silent. Ancelotti is still comfortable at Real Madrid and his contract is still long. Graham Potter is gone for us to mention, maybe the coach option Todd Boehly wants is someone he can control. It's not like when Tuchel was there but seeing Todd Boehly's selection of Potter should be a lesson that the results are always abysmal.
Looks like Zidane does not have interest in managing any team in English Premier league, if he had interest many clubs would have come rushing with good offers to get his signature but since he left Real Madrid we are yet to hear any rumour or official statement of a preferred destination to resume his coaching career.

Your right, I don't think Zidane wants to manage any English team otherwise he would have been a good replacement for so many coaches that have been sacked in EPL teams since the beginning of the season. It's been rumoured that PSG were going to secure his signature but after all we didn't get to see that happen even when Bayern Munich coach was sacked many people that that Zidane will be hired but that didn't also happen with this I think the next move if Zidane is not known yet and it is only him that has the decision to make when he's ready.

This is not about Zidane demand with english teams or whatsover, its is about taste. Some days ago when Potter was given quick notice to live Chelsea, he was offer a deal with Leicester city but he rejected because it doesn't meet his taste either because the pay was poor or because he doesn't want to work with a team that is sitting in relegation zone, every manager has their taste that is why Zidane is yet to work with English teams. It took Tuchel 4 months before accepting a new deal in Bundelsilga and yet same english teams were calling him for a big deal but he didn't answer any of them.

Good day, everyone I want to share a little idea about gambling, and the idea is about WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GAMBLE? On my schedule I mostly gamble in the afternoon 🔅 but letter I was with my friends and we were discussing the best time for gambling so many people says is evening then also checked google and it was the same answer then I also want to share the view with you guys
https://www.askgamblers.com/gambling-news/blog/best-time-to-play-slots/
So now the evening is the best time to gamble because of your daily activities

It depends on what is on the individual table, I don't have a route and pattern of gambling time but I have my favourite games I do play at my convinient time. When I have money in significant quantity, I take out some and deposit them into casino and play, the essence of taking out small portion is following my rules because I make sure I budget doesn't go above what can incovinients my finances and also regret later. The main objective is that when you are gambling or decide to play, follow your own rule and never in any way go above your spending limit, this reduce emotional and financial damages very well when you loss.
1464  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing looses Vs Finding closure: Any difference? on: April 04, 2023, 10:14:39 PM
I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

Source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gambling/comments/120jc8a/should_i_gamble_until_i_win_so_that_i_can_have_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=3&utm_content=share_button

Chasing loss is an obsession with money that you once had and is gone and you are fighting it back to overcome the forces of gambling and it doesn't work that way, sometimes you lose to win another game, the casinos that lose tons of money to the player, you think they don't get hurt as the players withdraw big money from their platform, they do and that is how gambling naturally exist.

Some players have their beliefs and they trust their skills, even if things don't go well the way they plan, they will continue to play, they can play high risk bets and never give up because they believe they will get more than what they have lost any day they win from the outcome because high risk game can change life for good when you win but that is not the best strategy for a gambler.
1465  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Existing Crypto Casinos Were Able to Churn Fiat Casinos User? on: April 04, 2023, 09:53:48 PM
After the pandemic, almost every Crypto casino has gained a lot of user base. As they have offered an alternative way to engage in online gambling. However, I wonder if they have been able to churn customers who are used to traditional online fiat casinos.

As per my understanding, crypto casinos have offered benefits that some fiat-based casinos cannot match. Another reason is cryptocurrency provides faster transactions and a level of privacy. Thinking about the regulatory environment surrounding cryptocurrency globally. I think a lot of crypto casinos are still churning existing users of other crypto casinos.

Some of these features can be appealing. If a user is looking for a more seamless and secure gambling experience. Whereas as per my understanding, not all players are comfortable using cryptocurrency. One reason, that I could think about is that cryptocurrency is still a relatively new technology & it might be the primary reason some players are hesitant to try them out.

Another reason is strict regulations on Crypto Casinos. That is one of the primary reasons why I think churning of fiat casinos user is not able to attract new users and retain old customers.

There are many more issues that I believe have hampered the churning of a traditional user to a crypto gambler. But the number one issue as per my research is individual preferences and circumstances.

I think most crypto casinos are still churning out existing customers. I also believe that it is not that easy to get a traditional online gambling user to change their habit. What do you think?


I will take your assumptions as fact because I can't verify some of your information. One of the reasons why I find it unconvincing about some facts is the one you said fiat casinos are unable to attract new users, maybe Globally they don't have the means to have new users since they are limited to only a particular currency but if it is within the country, they will make tons of money because the people of that gave them the license of operation will force their people to use that casino as they are recognized and allow to operate as a monopolistic platform, there is big money in a business that doesn't have a competitor you know.

Some people are saying that Chelsea don't need to be in a hurry to choose their manager but I think they had better act faster than this. Because they are still a part of the Champions League now despite their condition in the Premier League. Real Madrid are a very challenging opponent so Chelsea need a much better management immediately to be able to do something at least.

But we will see when they will make their decision. There is still one week to go for the first leg.

Under normal circumstances, they should have a very good planning in this process. In fact, they should have gotten in touch with their new manager before firing Graham Potter, even if it wasn't very ethical. Institutional structures do not make such big changes with emotional decisions. I think it's no coincidence that we got this news after Nagelsmann was fired. These two events may be related to each other. If Nagelsmann becomes Chelsea's new manager, my opinion will become even more certain

There is nothing new in all of these emergency sacks, people have left dream teams freely or forcefully, and the teams still continued to perform admirably. Before Erik Ten arrived at Manchester United, the assistant coach was doing fairly toward the end of the season even though they didn't finish first in the league. However, after Erik was brought in, things turned around for them, and I believe Chelsea is currently having a similar situation. To avoid repeating the same mistake they did with Graham Potter, they should take their time and give the club the best coach that will transform the players.
1467  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What could be the Symptoms of Getting Loss in gambling According to you? on: April 04, 2023, 09:24:26 AM
I think that maybe this question might have repeated over time but still I was Saying that I have seen that when we loose almost 50% of our portfolio in loss than we get nervous and we don't know what to do. As we work hard and make our lives better but we end up loosing our money. So I think these cloud be main symptoms. And these are listed below as these are according to me.
1. First things is that we want all in all to cover our losses in just one bet.
2. We use leverage that is more than enough to blow account in matter of minutes and that is very bad.
3. We don't know what to do.
4. We get addicted to gambling and that is bad.
5. We become frustrated and some people end up loosing their lives cause they don't have any choice.


By the way don't Roast me 🙂😜

These options vary from player to player and your discipline deternmines all of them. As a gambler when you enter a loss that you never expected, the first thing you need to do is to take a break and the timing depends on how much you lost, if you lost big, take long break and get yourself together and if its a small, take the break but it should be short time and rethink how you can make back more money and not how to make back the loss, if you do that, you will become attach to the past and that will not make you win games. Time heal us and having a break outside gambling will make you recover from losses quickly.

1468  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 04, 2023, 09:09:42 AM
I don't understand why the Bayern Munich management sacked Nagelsman. Nagelsman was a good enough coach. And Bayern Munich's performance was not weak. Even so, the Munich management decided to fire Nagelsman. Potter, on the other hand, has had plenty of time to stabilize his team. But he failed completely. Chelsea management should have taken the decision to sack Potter earlier. However, Nagelsman looks more likely to be Chelsea's coach. Because Chelsea can't find an experienced coach like Nagelsman at the moment. If Nagelsman becomes the coach of Chelsea, I believe he can stabilize the team.

You cannot eat your cake and have it, Potter don't have enough time to make a come back, they were having hard time in Premier League, they had hard time in FA cup, the only place they had hope is Champions League here and they will be challenging Real Madrid, an opponent team that they couldn't beat the last time they met, if I am the owner of Chelsea, he deserved to live the club with immidiate effect. Nagelsman is yet to make any official statement regarding his sack, may be it is similar to what happen to Tuchel when he was in Chelsea.

1472  Other / Meta / A recap of Theymos April fool Jokes from 2015 till date on: April 01, 2023, 01:54:29 PM
[This thread was started by sheenshane but abandoned without updates, this combine the previous thread and the upated events]

April fool jokes are fun, and it has been a tradition on the forum on every first day of the month of April that Theymos(Administrator) usually played jokes with members on the forum, although people who have experienced one or two Aprils would be familiar with how much fun it used to be, the first time are the ones who mostly create most of the threads asking questions if something is wrong with their account or if the forum is experiencing a bug or glitch.
The most fascinating aspect is that the old members do play along and appear as if they don't know what's going on, as we have today, many threads have been opened for questions, and some other members who offer signature service management have made jaw tantalizing rates threads to fool participants.

However, the objective of this thread is to inform other people who were not here when it started and are interested in learning about earlier April fools that have been done by the administrator. This thread recognized the previous April fool that Theymos has played on every first of April since 2015.

April fool Events
|Brief description of what happened
01/04/2015
||In the year 2013, the forum avatars were disabled for everyone not until 2015 when he re-enable it for everyone but it was restricted for Newbie, J. Member, and Member accounts. Not only that, something interesting happened that day: the avatars displayed on users accounts were meme avatars, not the actual ones they uploaded; when you log in to your account, your real avatar is displayed on your profile, but when you log out, it displays a meme avatar.
01/04/2016
||On this day, members of the forum noticed a change in the characters of bitcoin letters, it transformed from bitcoin to uᴉoɔʇᴉq, not just that, other users found that other popular coins then like litecoin changed to Lightcoin, DOGE changed to Catecoin, and Ethereum changed to Athereum. Although some members played along to capitalize(uppercase) the characters and they were able to avoid the trick.
01/04/2017
||On this day, some members in the forum had 1 to 4 coins on their profile randomly with random titles to members who never had interest but it turn out that members that got the badge outnumbered admin expectations.
01/04/2018
||Theymos used a new rank requirement to joke with members with Activity, Merit, Politeness, fMerit, Imagination, Virtue, Coins, Karma, and Posts. The values they each carry depend on how active you have been on the forum, the impression, the posting style, and the character each user has been using on the forum and this new rank lasted within 24 hours.
01/04/2019
||To prevent fraud and multiple accounts, Theymos requested users do undergo a KYC for their account which was all jokes, and also to be extra verified, members were asked to upload a selfie. However, what was initially meant to be a joke was taken seriously by some users as 2541 members uploaded their pictures; Theymos knew some people would fall for the joke, and none of the pictures were captured by Bitcointalk.
01/04/2020
||This was the year that Coronavirus spread and fear was around everybody, so the administrator decided to raise the stakes by displaying digital virus codes on posts, comments, and profiles. This made profiles appear as if they had been compromised by a virus, which was somewhat frightful given how close social distances were at the time and how little movement there was. However, it was just a traditional April fool's joke.
01/04/2021
||Crypto was having all attention shift to NFT in 2021 and as valuable digitals art was then, the Admin decided to introduce Fnfts for members and also a marketplace where everyone can put them for sale and you can be lucky to sell fnfts for a whoop of 50BTC, who doesn't like such amount of bitcoin? That was how some people fell for the Joke.
01/04/2022
|| Questions were embedded on before posts, replies or to edit posts in other to improve the forum experience, the answer each user got were used to determine their IQ and it was openly displayed on the profiles for other members to see, some people perform very well while some knew it was all joke.
01/04/2023
|| This time, the admin wan to battle low-quality posts and introduced a Beta captcha that all the users must pass through as a requirement before posting and users who failed to pass the captcha will have ''This user is a suspected spammer!'' on their posts and after two weeks, they will ban but how do you pass a captcha that requests you to play DEFEAT FLAPPY BIRD, funny right, it is all joke.
01/04/2024
||Theymos introduce a new system of merit in a way that for every 15 characters that you write, you get merit deduction. Also introduced a system to encourage members to have more merit when they stay online to read posts. However, the catch is that the merit you receive or loss does not affect your smerit, which means you will not receive any smerit to send out or lose the ones you have already. Don't worry, it's all part of the April Fools' joke.

I believe that as the year goes on and the forum expands with more members, the more entertaining they will become. I expect to see more April 1st jokes every year, and what makes it even more entertaining is that some users have added their own jokes to keep the boards fun. Enjoy!

1474  Other / Beginners & Help / Some quick icons that give newbies hint about threads on: March 29, 2023, 06:18:13 PM
Every forum has a distinctive look and set of icons by default, however, the Forum chose SMF due to its ease of use and quick reaction time when pages are opened. The Forum contains a variety of emojis and icons, but this thread is all about the icons that best capture what threads are all about.

The Forum has nested icons on every thread, and these icons give you a hint about what is happening in the thread. However, some newbies and perhaps other members don't look at them, and they don't understand what they represent even though they have hints under the navigation of all the boards that we have in the Forum. The available thread icons include the following:


___________________________________________________________________________________
Topics you have posted in: This icon often appears in threads in which you have engaged or replied, they will appear in front of any thread in which you have submitted one or more comments. It is important to always check for this icon in order to avoid spamming and the duplication of various replies to the OP in a thread.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Normal topic: This icon tells you that you have not responded to the thread before and the thread is still on its first page. When you want to reply or interact in any new threads on any board, these are the type of kind of threads to engage with for a start
___________________________________________________________________________________
Hot topic (more than 21 replies): This icon usually displayed in threads that are more than one page. When discussions are more than one page, it usually changes to this icon.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Very Hot Topic (more than 100 replies): This icon is usually displayed in threads that have more than one page. When discussions are more 4 one page, it usually changes to this icon.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Locked Topics: Threads can be closed for a variety of reasons, depending on the OP, such as to prevent spamming or to prevent other users from contributing to the thread. When you see this padlock icon on a thread, it means it is locked and you cannot reply to it.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Sticky topics: This icon is normally placed at the top of the boards, they are used to include vital information and, in order to prevent navigating to the next page in the board, the moderators used to attach them to the top of each board for users that need them for quick information.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Poll Icon: This is primarily for voting, the posts are normally to seek user opinions to vote on the options that are provided by the OP, whenever you see this type of thread, just know that you are required to vote and you may or may not reply.

There are other Icons for threads but these are the available icons for threads with the basic information I have seen in bitcointalk forum, I hope this helps people that are new to the forum and those who are just understanding them for the first time. Cheers.

1475  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: is bitcoin trading like stock trading, forex, someone in middle or neither? on: March 28, 2023, 03:25:07 PM
I think, Bitcoin trading can be a bit different from both stock and forex trading, as it's classified as a cryptocurrency. That being said, there are still similarities between the three, such as the importance of market analysis and identifying trends.

 I mean, at the end of the day, trading is all about making informed decisions based on the information at hand.

You are right my friend, the information we have determine if it will give us profit or loss but all traders always wish that the information they have at hand should be beneficial to their trading, there are some that you think it is positive but when the market react against it, they use to give loss. Also, I don't think Stock, forex and bitcoin has any differences just the price movement is a bit different, bitcoin can make 10% in a day and stock can make 2% for it traders and they will also be happy that they gain something because they don't have losses that much.
1476  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Holding could be better on: March 28, 2023, 03:17:58 PM
this is a good strategy for those who don't want to do or monitor the market on a daily basis, they will buy then forget about it in a few years then reap the rewards, but not suitable for high risk altcoins, and it is recommended to buy low risk coins, maybe top 10 better marketcap.

What do you mean by not suitable for high risk altcoins, is there altcoin that doesn't have high risk in the market and what I even learn from risky altcoins is that they have high profits when you are patients and hold for long time. It has been proven that in crypto, if you want to make it out here, you have to hold and have the patient even if people are afraid and panic selling their coins, there is reward that comes with that patients when it is time for bull run because that is the best time to make big figures and escape poverty life.
1477  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Experience of failure and success can help us control the emotions. on: March 28, 2023, 03:12:36 PM
Emotion is one key aspect of trading that is very important, Uncontrolled emotios can lead you in taking wrong decision while trading.
The best way one can learn is from experience, those professional and portable traders out there, mostly is as a result of long term trading mistake, failure and experience and their ability to use all this in their own advantage, which has helped them to becoming what they're today.

I disagree that it is not everytime that uncontrolled emotions lead to wrong decisions, there are times we become confused to make decisions, it is that fear of making lost that make us to exit the market fearfully and when the market crash, you will thank your uncontrolled emotions that made you to live the market but it most not be done everytime, uncontrolled emotion consstently will only give you loss but I as I said, it have its own advantage and also disvantage, it depends on when you use it at their appropriate time.
1478  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Is anyone using Price Action to trade full-time? on: March 28, 2023, 02:48:31 PM
After researching many methods, failing many times, losing money many times, I finally chose PA as my main method. If you study it carefully, PA is quite simple. My next plan is to become a full-time trader.
Does anyone have the same method and goal as me?

Is that enough to give you all the profits you need as a trader, I am not sure if that is enough to a trader, when you rely on only one technique, it wouldn't be enough to guide you in some ways, there are some points that you will reach, you will become hook and to go further, it will be hard. Like during the bull run, price action don't matter because this are the times the whales pump coins the way they like and techniques don't work during that time, you have to put in the support and resistance before you can understand what is happeining with trading and other indicators.
1479  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: The best time to buy bitcoin. on: March 28, 2023, 02:37:48 PM
Hello crypto bros, today I want to share my thoughts on when it will be the best time to buy bitcoin. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you shouldn't buy bitcoin right now, DCA is still the best tactic. But it's still good to know WHEN it will be the best time to safely invest money in bitcoin and be sure that it will probably go up from now on. But I won't be bothering you with TA analysis (that is probably wrong) and strange predictions, today we will just look at the facts. I'll start by saying that yes, I think we are still in the bear market and it's obvious that the economy is still suffering. And it's not a secret that bitcoin still didn't decouple from the NASDAQ so we should understand that if the economy goes down => bonds go down => bitcoin goes down too. So we still might see some down movements and maybe we will even see a new button because statistically something always breaks down after fed pivot.
So we can safely say that we will see a true bull run only when the economy will start recovering, but it can't happen until rates will start going down. That's why right now I think that we all should wait for the one single indicator: lowering of the rates. Bitcoin won't go up mediately, but it will mean that economy will start recovering => more money will go to the assets => and bitcoin and bonds will go up.
The only question is when will it happen? Well, if we look at how fast inflation is going down, I can assume that it will probably go down to the expected 3-4% in the Q4 of 2023. So I'm not expecting a bull run until 2024.
But again, I don't want you all to be bearish on bitcoin or selling it. For most people, DCA is enough to survive this crypto winter, but if you want to invest a lot of money in bitcoin, then I think it's better to wait until the signal we talked about.
BTCBTCBTCBTC

In the histiry of bitcoin, there is never best time to buy bitcoin but a trader should not attempt to buy bitcoin when the price has broken all time high because that time is when you find it hard to predict the next move of bitcoin, though DCA is idealy okay and you can do that anytime you have money as long as new all time has not been broken, you will always have the opportunity to gain something in profits but it will also be more better if you diversify your portfolio just in case because there are other coins that can over perform bitcoi and you don't want to miss the opportuniy.
1480  Economy / Economics / Re: Planning avoids unnecessary expenses on: March 27, 2023, 08:41:31 PM
There are some times that you will incur expenses that you didn't plan or foresee but the way you are financially wise in spending your money will determine if when such times comes you won't be in debt or going around for a loan. That is why if you have the grace to have a sustainable job set aside some funds for the better days ahead.

No matter how discipline you may be, there are things that come out of the moon that you may not expect like you will get sick and hospitalized to do tests, you don't have any other choice than to break your account, your family members will also call you for help when they know that you earn money, it may be that the dad or mum or brother is sick, and I don't think because you have plan you will want to abandon responsibility of the family. It is actually good to plan seriously but we should not forget than things we don't have plan from begining will always emerge.
