I admire Arsenal's performance in the Premier League. I haven't anything to say against that. They are even the most scorer team in the league in addition to their being the leader there now.  But we don't see the same team in the Champions League. I assume you would agree with me on that as well. We can't say their performances here so far have been very consistent. We have all seen how much they struggled against Porto. There is still a point that they can benefit from though. Bayern Munich's performance in the Champions League hasn't been amazing either. If Arsenal manage to make big difficulties for their defense then things can get really interesting. Arsenal in the Premier League has indeed performed extraordinary, they are able to lead the standings with their good record this season. Well, in the Champions League, of course they also have to be able to perform better because at each stage the opponents they face become increasingly difficult. In the quarter-finals, Arsenal will face Bayern Munich, where Bayern Munich is the team that is quite the favorite to become champions. This match is a big challenge for Saka et al because if they succeed in beating Bayern Munich, the mentality of Arteta team will certainly be stronger to visit the Allianz Arena in the second leg. In terms of experience, of course Bayern Munich is superior to Arsenal, but in terms of ambition, Arsenal may be the strongest this season. The first leg will be an important match that Arsenal must win because it will make them more confident when playing in the second leg. I don't think that Arsenal is more ambitious than Bayern Munich in the Champions League, because Arsenal is have the hope of winning their domestic league EPL because they are topping the table, but Bayern does not have this opportunity, because they are second on the table, and it will be impossible for Leverkusen to drop point and lose the league for Munich. This is what will make Bayern Munich take their Champions League matches more serious to make sure that they advance to the semifinals. Arsenal are weak when it come to UCL matches, and Bayern Munich is strong when it comes to UCL matches due to their experience. This makes me to doubt that Arsenal will be able to qualify to the semifinals. Bayern Munich are very dangerous playing at home. Bayern Munich is not Porto that they struggled with and qualify with a penalty shootout. |

It is good to have big dreams in us, but we cannot achieve that, if we don't start from somewhere. Some people are waiting to ha e a big resources before they think that their dreams can come true. Forgetting that a thousand Mike's starts with one step, as long as you are focus on what you are doing and still have that zeal to achieve your dream, it is possible.
You need to take advantage of little opportunities around you to get started with something, so that from there you can plan on how to move ahead to the next level. But if you sit down fold your arms without starting something, waiting for when you will have the big resources to accomplish your goal, it might become impossible. What I mean is that if you have big dreams, start from something little and that can accelerate you to your dreams, because from the little that you are doing, you might meet someone who will help you achieve your dreams.

I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
No one can predict or know it bitcoin price will actually dip down to 50k.The price is now 68k as I am typing this post. It has pumped from 66k - 68k not quite long. It might be that it will be hard for us to see 50k, since bitcoin price resistance is still within the 60k range. However, I would say that it is better, that you buy now if you have the money to buy, rather than waiting for bitcoin to dip to your target price before you buy. Delay is dangerous and if you buy at this price now, you will still make profit by next year when we might see bitcoin price above 150k. You can buy gradually bit by bit using DCA strategy to by regularly using a specific amount, so that you can buy at different price intervals. This will still give you an opportunity to buy at the dip, because waiting might make you miss out, if bitcoin price did not dip as you expected. |

Milan will have a hard time against Fiorentina, but they will not lose. The league champion is now clear, but the competition with Juventus for the 2nd place continues.
My prediction is that Milan will win this game and keep the points difference with Juventus.
Fiorentina always makes it difficult for their opponents who play at home because they have more strength when playing at home, however, AC Milan will not just let defeat happen to them. AC Milan will try as much as possible to get the full three points so they can sit comfortably in their position. secondly because Juventus and AC Milan are still fighting for the runner up position. Either AC Milan or Juventus both still have the opportunity to overtake depending on their efforts to maintain consistency. I think the favorite in this match is Milan, no matter how stubborn that Fiorentina are at home, they will not be able to stop Milan from securing three points on the match day, because Milan needs to keep winning their matches to give them higher chances of finishing the league as second on the table. Milan is also stronger than Fiorentina is 8th position on the table with 43 points. This shows how weak they will be when they meet Milan, because Milan is stronger than them. In the last 6 matches that Fiorentina played against Milan, Fiorentina only won 2 and Milan won 4. So I still expect Milan to win this match. |

But the problem now is that we are worried about Kevin De Bruyne's injury. I am sure that if De Bruyne cannot appear in the Man City vs Arsenal match then it could be a big loss for Man City. Because we know that De Bruyne is the best there who can move the ball into the attack line very smoothly and make the squad score more goals. Now the news is that De Bruyne is injured again but what I read is that it is a groin injury or something similar. I forget. But it doesn't seem to be the same injury that kept De Bruyne out for so long since the start of the season.
I hope Man City and Arsenal can play with their best squad. Because the match will not be balanced if one of the mainstay players from each team cannot play.
Manchester City has bad news ahead of Arsenal's opponents this week not only with Kyle Walker but some regulars players potential will absent for upcoming match such as Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne has withdrew from Belgium national team for FIFA friendly matches. Pep Guardiola will face problem if the three main players above will absent for several weeks later not only crucial match against Arsenal but also Manchester City has important quarter final Champion League against Real Madrid. Its most crucial moment when closing for winning domestic league tittle but Manchester City has losses many regular players, wish most of them can recovery as soon possible regarding Manchester City keep in the premier league tittle race with Liverpool and Arsenal. If losses three points against Arsenal on next match will make difficult for Manchester City to defend their domestic league tittle. Actually, what I really think about this Manchester city team is that they are not as efficient as they were last season, compared to this season, if efficient is the right word to use, so if most of their top players is absent due to injuries, it's really going to bite them hard because they can't replace such qualities, regardless of the debth they have in their squad. And as for their quest for the title, I really don't think they can win it, because their are so many tough fixtures ahead of them which arsenal will be the first, and with the absence of most of their key players, I really do think they will struggle in that game, so getting a win from that game will be even more difficult with the absence of those top level players like de bruyne an co. Manchester city chances is winning the league this season is getting slimmer, due to the injuries of their players. Injuries is what declines the performance of a club, and this was how Arsenal had injury problem on their players last season that made Manchester city to snatch the title from them. I think this is payback time for Arsenal in their next meeting with Manchester city. Maybe this season was never meant for City to become the winner, that is why we are seeing this late hour injuries in a critical time like this. City needs to pray that De Bruyne gets back to his feet before the clash with Real Madrid, if not they are out of the champions league. What a bad moment for them, I hope Pep will be able to make sure his team doesn't drop much points. |

I think Xavi still wants to be at Barcelona and the players also still want Xavi to remain their coach, but there is another thing that made in this team. Not because he doesn't like it, but he has the best way to get something more appropriate. Actually, Barcelona's performance is not bad, but management always demands the best that they want to receive. Indeed, that is a normal thing, but they also have to be able to see and adapt to their current conditions.
I heard that Barcelona also seems to have the opportunity to keep Xavi for next season, but that is a rumor that I heard and the truth has not yet been confirmed. However, if that really happens, then Xavi must ask for something that can be included in the contract, so that he does not receive something that he experienced this season. I really understand if management puts pressure when Barcelona's performance is very bad, but that's not what happens, they always force what they want, even though logically it is difficult.
Xavi says that he is not appreciated, maybe he would like to stay with the players, but it is difficult to work in such an environment. I very much doubt that Xavi will remain in the team, if he announced it officially, he will do it. But I am also confident that he will not remain without a team for long, he showed himself very well in Barcelona, and if he gets into a team with good financial opportunities, he can achieve excellent results in any other team. He did a great job at Barcelona, considering the time he joined the team. Xavi is a good coach, but just some periods that he was faced with challenges on inconsistency, and decline in his team performance, he was criticize as an unexperienced coch and not competent enough to coach Barcelona. This made him feel bad and decided to leave the club which he made the announcement officially. If Barcelona wants him to stay, then they need to make him happy and feel at home at all time, not only when he is victorious, and they say a lot of crap when he is facing hard time with his team. Now that he has put Barcelona back to a good form, and they have being consistent with their matches, they want him to stay. Forgetting all those crap that they said. If I was to be in Xavi shoes, I would leave the club. |

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?
When a new member is added to the family the financial aspect of the family changes and there will definitely be some changes in the person who conducts the family. Those who are regular gamblers try to reduce the family expenses and some money in gambling but when household expenses increase, they will be constrained to make that expenditure. Moreover, it is normal for every gambler to change their situation. I saw a friend of mine who was very active in gambling but since he got married he can't put much money in gambling even if he wanted to. He cites the increase his daily expense is the main reason. And when a new child is born in a family, the consumption rate will increase a lot. As a result the gambling habits of that person will definitely change. That's actually true. The thing is, having a child just like what happened to your friend greatly affects the family expenses. The necessary needs include different vaccines for the child, milk, and regular checkups of the infant are not cheap, and need to have enough savings to sustain this kind of expense. If the parent continues his gambling activity even in this case, it will only result in more problems, primarily financial problems. During this scenario, it's better to prioritize the needs of the child and forget about any gambling activities. Having a child consumes a lot of money in anyone's budget for their daily needs, that's why this is the time when we need to focus on our priorities and avoid any more expenses. Down here in my country, they say that children can make some more responsible than when he does not have any, which is true. If you see a man without a child spending with no reserve, the moment he have child a child, he limits his spending. Imagine when you receive $300 weekly, and you gamble with 5% of it which is 15%, without a child. The moment you have a child, you are to take care of him/her, and you are still receiving $300. You will have to cut down some unnecessary expenses, so that you can focus more on the child welfare. The first that will come to your mind is to cut down your gamble budget, because taking care of the child is necessary, and if you don't gamble, nothing changes. Gambling is like throwing away money, but any money that you spend on your child is a blessing to you. |

I feel for him. This is because he knows that gambling has made him lose everything but he still would not give up, because he still believes that he can hit the jackpot with the next game. False hope is what many gamblers have, and gradually gambling keeps destroying them.
The person needs to be in rehab home, where he will be deprived from gambling for a very long time. I guess that will help him, but he needs his family to succeed in this. I haven't seen such gambler in my entire life. Is it that the losses was what made him mentally sick or something else.

Chasing losses is one of the most easiest way to loss all your funds, even become addicted and irresponsible with your gambling. When you begin to chase your loss, you'll start making decision that are not from your right sense of reasoning. You can even gamble until all your money has been exhausted just because you want the old loss back. If you gamble and experience any loss just take it as part of the experience because at first you are advise to gamble with what you can afford to loss with affecting any of your other financial activities.
It's true what you say chasing losses is basically useless, we won't get what we want, it will only complicate matters and there will be a lot of losses there and this factor is also influenced by big emotions about what happens because of expectations. not in accordance with reality and agree with you, if we have experienced defeat once or twice then take the positive side, namely from our experience that gambling results in more losses than wins, then we can use this as motivation and valuable experience so as not to lose. excessive gambling. Chasing losses is not the ideal way to recover your loss, because it is impossible to recover them. It is only when you are lucky to gamble at the right time, that you can win and recover some of it. But if you say that you want to recover your loss by yourself, it will lead to more losses. However, when you understand that losses is part of gambling, you will be able to control the amount that you are putting into gamble, because you know that it is not certain for you to win. |

Marseille's hard effort work deserves appreciation, they were able to reach the quarter-finals by beating Villareal and now they have to face the next challenge against Benfiqa. I think Marseille is in high self-confidence at the moment so he will probably get rid of Benfiqa even though it's not easy for Marseille he will try his best may do their best in the European league to reach the semi-finals. Sometimes ordinary teams like Marseille can give a surprise in the European League even though they are not the favorites.
We don't know yet who will advance to the semi-finals but what is clear is that one of them will face Liverpool, which is a strong team in the EPL. Currently, it is a big challenge for any team that faces Liverpool or Leverkusen in this competition because they are in a good trend. in the domestic league.
Benfica has a better chance of advancing to the semifinals because they are a little more consistent than Marseille, that is if we refer to their position in their respective domestic leagues. On the other hand, Liverpool and Leverkusen will certainly be a threat to any team in the semi-finals, because these two teams are strong candidates for winning the Europa League trophy. In European competitions, we don't use the performance of a club in their domestic league to judge the outcome of the game. This is because any club that is not strong would not be in the quarter finals. The two clubs are strong enough for each other but there must be a winner, and it is a nice pair. However, Benefica will do better than Marseille in the match because currently they are more consistent with their matches. Of course Liverpool and Leverkusen are the strongest club this season in this competition, and it will be lovely if we can see these two teams in the final, because I believe that they will be able to eliminate any team that crosses their way till the final stage. |

I have been thinking about this a lot now and today again, I did the same, it's probably the right time to pour out my mind to my family on this forum, hope in return to get some great answers.
I know that it's not easy to run a casino, hire workers and some professionals and others, my question is. ....
1. Is running offline casinos the same as running an online casino?
2. What do online casinos have to lose if they aren't making as much money as they intended?
3. With online casinos, isn't the number of hiring being limited compared to someone who wants to run an offline casino?
4. Which one is more easier to manage than the other?
And the last question is, which one would you go for if you have the resources?
1. They are similar but not the same because online casino is cheaper to run than an offline casino. This is because you will need a lot of physical things to put in place for a startup. 2. Online casino will be affected if they don't have much customers, and it might lead to packing up, because they need funds for maintenance and payment of their staffs, and whoever wins from the casino. 3. Yeah, online casino don't need much staffs like the offline casinos who needs a lot of staff in place to run the casino activities. They need security personnel. 4. I don't have a casino, so I cannot say which one is easy to run, but from the amount that is needed to set it up, I will go for an online casino, be ause there will be more customers than offline casino, due to easy access. |

You are actually right because Manchester City last season and now are actually not the same because last season to an extend we were thinking that Arsenal will win the league but do to how consistent Manchester City is they were able to win there way to the first position and at the end wining the trophy. So actually the kind of favour that followed them last season is not longer with them on this season because for now Liverpool and Arsenal are the most favoured because unlike there last season when Arsenal was there only competitor but this season not only Arsenal but also Liverpool, although there chances are not yet over because they still have the chance to compete with Liverpool only if they can win Arsenal on there meeting and if they draw it will still affect them because Arsenal and Liverpool will still be ahead of them.
Every team usually have their peak season and this season is definitely not the one for Manchester City. Even if they eventually win the premiership title this season, there is no basis for comparing the Manchester City of last season to the one we have now. By this time last year, it was pretty obvious how the season will end. But this season, there is no one that can bet who will win the league. I know some betting companies, if not all of them, have odds for the teams regarding who will win the title. The odds for the team at the top is usually high but this year there is a major confusion because three teams are competing tightly and there is no clear direction as at now. The next few matches will somehow give us the direction the league will go. This season is different from last season, that it was very easy to know the club that won the league. This season is very tough, as three clubs are on it, amd no one can predict the winner. This is because all three clubs are in their best form, and none of them is ready to drop points. But as time passes by, and the end of the season draws near, we shall tell who will be the winner. Arsenal is stronger than last season by this time last season. Which made it difficult for them to keep being consistent in their matches, and it affected them a lot, leading to the lost of the trophy. This is why I think that Arteta will want to use this opportunity wisely to win the league since his team are very strong to do the job. |

AS Roma will only fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, they're just few points behind Bologna and they're taking it as a crucial plan to execute. AS Roma stats this season, 15W 6D 8L in 28 games this season. Daniele De Rossi have been available in the crucial areas and heading direct to progressing the team's performance bit by bit. He's new to the managerial system and what he needs is time to fit in, we know how exceptionally the coach will grow to managed the club.
Being three points behind Bologna is not a very difficult thing for AS Roma to shift this season, because as long as AS Roma can continue to recover with good wins in the upcoming matches. Because Roma only needs to wait for Bologna to lose or beat Bologna when they meet again in the remainder of this season in order to compete for positions in the UCL zone. I am also quite confident with Daniele De Rossi's performance at Roma even though he still has to adjust to the Roma team for the remainder of this season. They have both played 29 matches, and Bologna is just three points ahead of Roma. Bologna is on 44 points, and Roma 41 points. There is hope for Roma to be in the champions league next season, because Roma will be able to be more consistent than Bologna in the rest of their matches. However, Bologna should not be underestimated because they have also being consistent in their performance. Their last five matches, they only lost to Inter, and they won the rest. It will be a big task for Roma to bring down Bologna from the fourth position, and take over from Bologna, because Bologna also want to be in the Champions League next season. Roma should just hope for Bologna to drop points for them to take advantage, and they need to also work more on their game pattern. |

Yeah that's the points I'm trying to make if Girona had been more consistent enough they would have been competing with Barcelona but right now I doubt if they can be able to come back to there normal performance they had during the beginning of the season because that's the only way they can become a threat to Barcelona but since they are not much in a good shape now Barcelona has taking the advantage to dominate the second position and like I already mentioned it will be very difficult for Barcelona to drop points because there target right now is the second position so they will try as much as possible to maintain it. The only way to threaten Barcelona is to restore their performance to what they did at the start of the season. Recently, Girona seemed to have lost their ability which made it difficult for them to win, Girona was only able to achieve three wins in eight matches, the remaining four losses and one draw. Barcelona which is starting to find its best performance, will continue to maintain its runner up position until the end of the season. I also feel pessimistic about Girona's ability in the second meeting which will be played at Girona headquarters. Barcelona performance continues to improve, making it difficult for Girona to win over Barcelona if their performance still not increasing. The two point gap is still very possible for Girona to catch up, but with the conditions they have shown in the last eight matches, there is still a possibility that Barcelona will widen the gap between the two. With the recent form of Barcelona, I don't think that it will be possible for Girona to win Barcelona or draw the match. This is because Barcelona is very hot and will take down any team that comes their way, especially Girona that they know is a threat to them on the second position. They will use this opportunity to widen the game to make sure that Girona will not later be above them on the table. Girona started the season with a very consistent performance, it is two months ago that they started declining in their performance, which I don't blame them for that. Because it is not easy for a club like them to start competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona on the trophy. However, I knew it that they will not be able to maintain their consistency till the end of the season. |

The time Arsenal has to face Bayern Munich is very limited, because before facing Bayern Munich in the UCL there are 3 tough matches and it will drain the players energy. So I'm quite worried if Arteta has difficulty making many rotations. At the end of the month against Man City, you definitely need a solid composition of players and of course the main squad must be deployed. The next 2 matches are no less important because they are an opportunity to get 3 points and Arteta cannot underestimate his opponent.
So based on a fairly busy schedule, I wouldn't expect much if even a draw against Bayern Munich would be good enough. However the issue of dark history is also a shadow for Arsenal players, as if Bayern Munich will use it to break the spirit of their opponents.
Actually with the look of things Arsenal may likely be kicked out by Bayern Munich on the champions League quarters finals because Bayern Munich are always more favourable than Arsenal on champions league that's why they have more good history on champions league than Arsenal, although is been a while Bayern Munich meet Arsenal but I think Bayern Munich has more opportunity over Arsenal on that match and also considering the fact that champions league is not like premier League that are more easy for Arsenal to perform really good but in champions league the matches are mostly difficult because all the clubs are very strong, although I'm not disputing the fact that Arsenal is not in there good form but the truth is that Bayern Munich is a very consistent team when it comes to the champions League matches and also if you you check there last meeting with Liverpool you will see how good Bayern Munich is and beating Liverpool at the end, so if bayern Munich could perform that good it may likely not going to take much time for them to win Arsenal. So I would just say that Arsenal should focus more on there premier League matches so that there attention will not be divided. Pardon me, if I say that this is the last stage that Arsenal will reach in the Champions League. Arsenal are not good when it comes to champions league matches compared to Bayern Munich, which makes me doubt that Arsenal would be able to win Munich. Arsenal qualified last to the semifinals in UCL 2008/2009,and after that time, we have not seen them in the Champions League semifinals again. This shows how poor their participation in champions league is. It will not be different from the previous. Assuming they were given a different club and not Bayern Munich, maybe there will be hope for them. |

Sometimes, we expose our private information to the public unknown to us, and it can be used against us, when we become the target. Imagine this observation about your friend screen shot of his transactions. His friend that is envious of him can steal his phone or send someone to steal his phone, and whatever information they need, they can easily get it from his phone. * My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
It is not a safe practice. I will say 1% safe. I hope that he does not screen shot his seed phrase. * How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
If he does not listen to you, there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe since he is into bitcoin, you can introduce him to the forum, where he will know that such practice can make him lose his coins to hackers and thieves. Some of us were not taking privacy serious, until we became members on this forum. Maybe he does not understand the level of privacy that he needs as someone who is into bitcoin. |

Thanks for the reminder. Changing of wallet address by casino and exchanges without any notification is not good. I am happy that you were able to get your funds back, because they know that the money is in your old wallet asdress. I don't think anyone that is not being paid directly to his casino wallet address, should use their casino wallet address to receive payment, only if you intend using all the money to gamble.
I had similar issues last month with my exchange waaler address. It was change unknown to me, and I transferred funds from my noncustodial wallet to the exchange. I didn't see my funds there, when the transaction has been confirmed for over 6 hrs. This was when I took my time to go through the exchange, and I discovered that they money was in my old address which I had to do it manually for it to reflect, which took close to 10 minutes.
Always check, and re-check the address before sending funds into it or use it to receive funds.

Bitcoin can speak, but it is you guys that cannot hear what she is saying.  She is whispering who is Satoshi Nakamoto, and she is also saying how much is in each bitcoin investor's wallet... Did you hear that?  Everything you want to know about bitcoin can be known, but not the identity of the founder. Very unique.  |

I am not part of the international break because it kills the fun on the club matches. Imagine, weekend is when I do relax and enjoy the club side matches, but today has been very boring for me, because I didn't have the passion for international Friendly's. As I am typing the post, England VS Brazil is on but I lost interest on the game.
Of course, there are some football fans that don't derive fun in watching club matches, because they are not committed to football. Perhaps, if their country is playing that is the only matches that they watch, and such people will be happy currently for the break.
