1661  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 16, 2023, 04:33:05 PM
The derby match between Inter vs Milan will start soon. The line-up is ready and it seems that both teams will be ready to beat the drums of war to fight for the first standings. Inter, who act as hosts, are certainly superior in terms of probability and also their winning record, but I think Milan will stop their bad record today.

I hope this will be the most interesting derby match to look forward to, but I don't expect there to be more than 3 goals in this match. My prediction is that Inter will lose 1-2 to Milan, but I will also consider a draw for the end of the match.

While I was about to write this post about the game between Inter Milan and Ac Milan to talk about the first squad of both teams, Inter Milan scored the first goal very fast after the game started.
We know while a team is hosting a game they have a better performance in the first minutes because of the better atmosphere they can have from the fans, I think that's one good reason for Inter Milan to score the first goal in this match against Ac Milan.
An early goal by Inter has put them ahead of Milan. The goal was scored by Mikintanyar with a beautiful finish after he received a pass from Touran Inter has always shown that they are better than Milan and we saw that in last season champions league semifinals.

This is a good start for them in the match, Mikintanyar has being showing how reliable he is to depend on for scoring goals. This isn't a good start for Milan but I can see that they have gotten themselves back to the game, as they are putting in more effort to equalise the game.  Milan has lost some good opportunities and this shows that they might score soon.

City showed a great end to the game... To be honest I wanted to bet on their win when the score was tied at odds of 2.3... But I didn't have time, and in the end City won the match... I was also pleased with Brighton... I had my doubts about their game with Man U, but I expected Man U not to win... Today is an interesting day in the EPL..

City with the possession usually finds lot of opportunities to score in a game. Today it was the same as despite them being down, they in the end managed to win with a very good scoreline. As for Brighton, they also are a great team. To be able to defeat United with 3-1 scoreline without some crucial faces like Solly March, Estupinian , it goes show how De Zerbi is building the club strong.

Was really an entertaining gme day today.
Haalad has final scored in the match, as he scored the third goal to wrap up their victory, with a super strike after he received a ball from.... It was quite astonished that Manchester City were able to turn the game around in the second half. Manchester City took control of the game and scored all three goals in 45 minutes.

This is a good performance and it shows that they are truly champions from the way they are always ending their matches. West Ham couldn't withstand the pressure from Manchester City and were also unable to defend the only goal that they scored in the first half.

West Ham vs Manchester City

So far Manchester City have really dominated the match well, but they still failed to find a goal after 35 minutes. Haaland had several opportunities, but he still failed to break through the West Ham goal which was guarded by Alphonse Areola.

West Ham, who knew their opponent was capable of dominating the match, preferred to focus on defense, where Moyes had to adjust his defensive strategy by playing 4 or 5 defenders when Manchester City launched attacks. Of course so far they haven't made a mistake, but their lack of ball possession certainly puts a lot of pressure on the heart of their defense. I think Manchester City can win this match, but yes they have to work hard this time especially after conceding.

And now Manchester City is 1 goal behind Cheesy it's really strange that West Ham only had one shot but managed to convert it into a goal while Manchester City fires 12 shots and 6 on target unfortunately there were no goals it seems that West Ham is implementing extra defense so Haaland didn't have the right opportunity. But yeah it's not over yet there's still 45 minutes in the second half we know Manchester City has the ability, I'm sure they can equalize the score or even win.
Manchester City are 1 goal behind. Opposing team West Ham team performed exceptionally well last season. And in today's match I noticed something extraordinary about their performance and defense lines tactics. West Ham have improved themselves tremendously. But I still believe Manchester City will bounce back in this match.
It was an uneasy match for Manchester City in the first half, as the host didn't give them any space to for them to take advantage of them or intimidate them with their football pattern. Ward Prowse made it look more difficult for Manchester City players after he netted the post on the 36th minutes. West Ham is leading in the match, with a strong defense.

Manchester City tried all their best to score just a goal but their best wasn't good enough to give them a goal. It was really a hard luck for them in this first half. I am not worried because I know that West Ham might not be able to maintain their wonderful performance in the first half, all through the end of the game. This means that there will be a goal from Manchester City in the second half, and who knows, the maybe the match might end up like that of Liverpool.

What is the one behaviour you noticed in a gambler and  you dislike it? You don't need to have a reason for disliking it but you just do.
Gamblers who harm their families and do anything to get money to gamble again. gamblers who have a lot of debt and make their families suffer because they also carry this debt. Addicted gamblers, yes that's what they are. I hate them because they are unable to take responsibility for what they have taken and done.
Gamblers belonging to this category that you mentioned sucks, because they put their gambling activities first before their family and this will cause a damage in the family. Some of them end up staying alone because their loved ones have been disappointed in them due to their irresponsible gambling life.

Addiction is what can make one become an irresponsible gambler, and that is the only reason that will make one to put gambling first before their family, because they are busy hoping to win the next game very big. Unknown to them that it will only be a dream that might not come to reality.

It's funny if anyone thinks Haaland is going to Real Madrid, Lol. Because anyway, with Haaland staying at Manchester City also it is very enough to make Haaland win many titles. Because after all, the move of great players to join Real Madrid is to get a lot of titles, so it's no wonder that Mbappe is always associated with Real Madrid. Because at PSG, Mbappe does not have a good chance of winning titles. Therefore, it is very funny if someone says Haaland has to move to Real Madrid, because in fact Haaland does not need to go to Real Madrid to get a lot of titles, because at Manchester City Haaland also managed to achieve many achievements so far.
Even though the chances are currently very unlikely, Haaland will also be included in Real Madrid's plans. I agree with you that Haaland no longer needs another team because with Manchester City he has succeeded in winning this quite prestigious title. But what I mean is that Real Madrid will really need his services because he is one of the best strikers in the world at the moment.

Meanwhile, if we talk personally, Mbappe is the one who has to be smart in choosing a team to win the title and Real Madrid is probably the one who is most realistic in being able to make his dream come true.
Haalad is an outstanding player that Real Madrid will definitely go for because they love to have the best players in the world to play in their club. It wouldn't be easy for Real Madrid to bring Haalad over to the club, if Manchester City still needs him. This was why they have to increase his pay and extend his contract.

This reason why Real Madrid is thinking of Haalad is because Mbappe has disappointed them and there is no sign of hope if he will come over or not, because he is currently with PSG and they don't want to release him without the requested amount.

It depends on what you want to use the wallet to store. If it is only for storing bitcoin, you can use hot wallets like electrum wallets and blue wallets for small amount of bitcoin, for daily spending. If you want to store a huge amount of bitcoin for a long time, you can use electrum cold storage wallet, where you generate your seed on an air gap device (offline). Or you can use a hardware wallet like trezor.

On the other hand if you need a wallet to store more than one cryptocurrency, you can use coinomi wallet or unstoppable wallets. All these wallets mentioned above are open source and only you can control your keys yourself.

OP, you must be a man with great determination and I admire your courage on this one, walking down to see the governor of your state for an appointment, isn't something that easy. I am happy that you have finally given him your proposal and also discuss with him about giving the secondary school students the opportunity to learn bitcoin.

I don't think that it will be possible for only the Governor of your state to make such approval because he isn't the person in charge of education. There is a curriculum that was written by the Ministry of Education which all schools in Nigeria uses. So it is the Minister of Education that will be able to look into this and discuss it the the government, before any further action.

You have done something impressive for bitcoin and you deserve to be a hero.

This is the source here https://gbc-time.com/which-countries-can-offer-you-legal-gambling.
We have a lot of countries, is it that most of these countries that are not mentioned don't allow online gambling, or they are trying to limit the rate of gambling addiction in their countries. The government can't stop online casinos but I don't think that they can stop gambling as a whole.

If there are no land based casinos or online casinos, due to the fact that it is an offense. Gambling will be done secretly by gamblers, especially gambling with friends and neighbors. Sportbet can also be done in pairs by individuals. It is only in the Muslim countries that I can say gambling activities wouldn't be possible. Although gambling is dangerous to human financial status, if he can't control his gambling activities.
1669  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Australia will ban Gambling through credit cards on: September 14, 2023, 04:23:20 PM
My question is If they legislate to ban gambling then what other legislation will they do to establish another recreation for the Australian populace that will have the attributes of gambling but without money. Australia is not part of those countries hitting against gambling.
They never said that they are banning gambling completely, but only online gambling. This is because it is making their citizens to be on debt using their credit cards to gamble online. From my understanding they don't want their citizens to involve in online gambling.

I believe that there are land based casinos that citizens can go and gamble to have fun, because gambling is a legal activity in Australia. They want to also reduce the rate at which people gamble, because online gambling give easy access to gamblers both underage gamblers. If you also look at it from this side, maybe the government couldn't get their taxes from the online casinos and therefore choose to throw them out of business. Since it is easy to tax a land based casino.
1670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 14, 2023, 04:09:33 PM
The fact that Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United and joined Al Nassr wasn't because of what he financially stands to gain. Ronaldo had  played over twenty years of his professional career as footballer in Europe before his latest move in Al Nassr.
He wanted a new challenge and deemed the Saudi Pro League as his best destination because they're less competitive than the European clubs and more suitable for man of his age.

Lol, it was about the money all the time. This is the first time that I read from someone that Ronaldo did not do it for the money, but was looking "for a new challenge in Saudi Arabia. Ibrahimovic went back from the MLS to AC Milan and he was much older than Ronaldo in the end when he was still playing for Milan.

Ronaldo knew that he could earn in 2.5 years in Saudi Arabia what he has earned in 20 years before playing for top European clubs. I am sure that the engagement doesn't end there after 2.5 years either. He will probably get some job as an ambassador. This was all for the money and nothing else.

Do you believe that Neymar and Benzema also wanted "a new challenge"? Cheesy
Yes all the top players join in this league just for big money, I don't believe they are go to Saudi just for a new challenge. But if Ronaldo still play at Manchester United, surely he will not be tempted by the Saudi offer, although the money they are offering is large. Ronaldo go to Saudi because he have a problems with the Red Devils club, but if Ronaldo doesn't go to this league then Neymar Benzema or the others not want to go to Saudi, because this league is also not very popular.
Every footballer is playing because of money and that is why you see that they keep n moving from one club to another for a bigger offer. I don't think that I have seen a professional footballer that during his reign, he left his present club that pays higher, to a club that pays lesser, without saying that he had problems with his club.

Ronaldo went for the money because that was the only way, he can use to console himself and create awareness on the first page of the sport news paper. Ronaldo was the one that opened the eyes of other players to make them hunger for fat pay because if you get paid for just two years, you can retire with a good pay off.

 If it was possible, many traders would not be looking for trading signals and those group that are giving trading signals out would have made billions of dollars secretly. AI is been programmed based on past event and don't also forget that trading needs skill, strategy and risk management. In trading if your trading strategy is not working,you are to try a new strategy, how will AI do that.

Bitcoin price cannot be predicted by humans that created the AI, so how will it be possible for AI to predict the market. In trading there nothing like making only profit, you will make profit and also run at loss, but you are the one that will do the risk management, to make sure that you make more profit than loss due to the volatile nature of bitcoin.

<snip>
Playing online is undoubtedly more convenient. However, what I particularly enjoy about traditional casinos is the heightened sense of fun and interaction they offer to players, this can vary from player to player though.

Regarding the bonus buy feature, it's possible that the casino you've visited is regulated by an entity that prohibits such features. It might be a good idea to confirm this if you have the interest.

The social part of it make tradition casinos very interesting and gives you more fun. There are also other services that you can enjoy from tradition casinos, while gambling there. You can also go with friends and have a good time gambling.

Online casinos are now taking over the gambling business because, anyone can access it easily with smart phones,it also gives room for you to gamble in private, without anyone knowing that you are a gambler.

I don't think Maguire's problems will cease if he continues to remain at Man UTD. Like the guy should come with a warning sign or something. With his penchant for creating own goals I feel Brighton would want to capitalize on this. Last night in England's friendly against Scotland, it would have been a clean sheet for the Three Lions but no,. Harry Maguire had to drop his signature move in the 67' and provide Scotland a goal.
He has slow speed and made some personal mistakes that caused conceded goals for opponents. Worse, he made his ogg goals like in Scotland match. That is not a situation he can not control especially the pass for Scotland is not too difficult but Maguire did not have good space feeling so he felt dangerous and just lifted his leg to touch the ball.

With all poor performances and terrible mistakes from Maguire, if you are his coach, will you use Maguire?

One mistake, one goal can entirely change the match and with Maguire in your defense system, it can happen anytime.
I agree that I wouldn't use him. Dude was never a great defender and I still do not understand how he gets all that time both at club and the national team. It makes me wonder if there are no other people but at the same time I am sure that there must be "someone" that could be picked over him in both club and at nation.

I think he is staying at United for some weird injury reasons because United keeps getting their defenders injured and that causes him to stay to replace the hole left by them, but aside from that I do not see how that could be changed, I feel like it should stay about the same and wouldn't really have a big change in the end. I hope that United could find someone much better at that position.

Maguire has been a weak defender and a sluggish one too, he isn't that careful with the balls at the defense, and he forgets that he is the last man standing. As he is getting old, the mistake he does. I don't know how he do have the opportunity to always be selected in professional matches, when he will make mistakes that will lead his opponent to scoring.

His stay in Manchester United has been my problem because he will always have an opportunity to feature in matches due to injuries on the defenders. Eric Ten Hag should strengthen the club but I don't know how he will do this because the players that he bought recently, are not performing their job.

The current leaders are not looking or thinking of a way to improve the economy from facing Stagflation. Instead they are negleting their responsiblity on how to reduce inflation and they keep on printing money and pour into the society to decieve themselves that all is well.

They are very greedy,that they are after power and winning territories for their own selfish benefits. The third world countries are already suffering from stagflation because there is high rate of inflation,high rate of unemployment and poor productive power. Mismanagement is another factor that leads an country to Stagflation. The price of oil is really a key factor that determines the state of the country economy.

The USD is a currency, whether it remains the same, decreases or rises, assets will surpass it as far as they do well. This is also the reason you can't price the same US stocks that have appreciated over the years with the same amount of dollars you bought it 20 years ago. The value has risen, but it doesn't mean the USD fell. That's the reason I said it's the value and not inflation.

In other words, it's not the purchasing power of the USD that reduced but it's the said asset that appreciated significantly in value. The USD can't be appreciating that much as a currency, otherwise, it's a big problem for the USA's trade balance.
The value of an asset increases with time and likewise the value of money depreciates with time because of inflation. The increase of value of an asset is due to inflation. If you can remember when we were young,you can use only one dollar to buy lunch but presently,it is impossible. This is because the cost of production is high now compared to then.

When an iphone is first launched into the market, the value will be high and as time goes on,it will start depreciating. But these days, the cost of the phone will stay at that same price of launching or it will even increase in price due to inflation. The current price of those iphones is because of the current price of bitcoin and if the price of bitcoin increases significantly due to good news in the market, then the price of those phone wouldn't worth the amount, but lesser than the amount. As for gold that you stated, you should remember that it is a store of value and an investment that can't be eaten up by inflation and that is why the value increases.

I am watching the match between Cameron and Burundi. It is still goalless and they are on the extra time of the first half. I was expecting much from Cameroon but is like they aren't that better than Burundi. This is because Burundi created more opportunities of scoring but they couldn't break the deadlock. Kudos to Manchester United goal keeper Onana who didn't allow any ball to pass through to the net.

Cameroon should be happy that the had a goalkeeper like Onana, if not Burundi would have be at the lead of the game. Burundi have good players and they are desperate of scoring. Maybe in the second half,we will see a goal from any of these countries.

     Italy vs Ukraine

Italy is having a wonderful time in the match as the second goal has been scored on the 29th minutes of the match. The goal was thought to be an offside, not until VAR called for goal check and it was counted as a goal by the referee. It was clear that the second goal was an offside but the referee has the final decision. Both goals was scored by Fratessi on the 12th and on the 29th minutes.

The game is getting tensed as Ukraine is not relenting but mounting pressure on the Germans,which lead to the cancellation of one goal by Yamolenko on the 41st minutes of the game. I was thinking that Italy will win the games easily but with the way Ukraine are pressuring to equalise the second goal might not give Italy the chance to win this game easily. The first half is over and I believe that there will be more goals in the second half.
Italy 2-1 Ukraine

Today we will see a domination by Portugal against Luxembourg, but we will not see Ronaldo in this match since he got suspended. Portugal is still Portugal without Ronaldo because they have many great talents. I think Portugal will able to score at least 3 goals, I hope it will not end like England vs Ukraine where the match was ended draw.

...
Portugal are playing flawlessly in European Championship qualifying so far. In five games, Martinez's team has scored 15 goals and never conceded. However, Luxembourg should not be underestimated. In this qualification for the Euros, this team is performing quite well.

Of course, Portugal is the favorite in this match even without Ronaldo. The only question is whether Luxembourg will be able to score a goal?

I agree that is the question because the odd of Portugal of less than 1.10 says that this game should have quite some goals and prediction pages for football betting are all pointing to at least Over 3.5 goals as the main bet with near 1.80 odd for such game.I think we will see goals but most likely it will be very difficult for Luxembourg to score a goal to Portugal in Portugal home when we know that their goal difference is 15:0 meaning they have not conceded a single goal yet and surely Luxembourg is not the team to do it,to score their first goal against them if they play seriously,they are already qualified though and they may not give a damn about this game and they can concede quite some goals.
The match is irrelevant to Portugal because they are at the top in their group. Portugal will definitely win Luxemburg because it is obvious that they are the weak team in the match. The game wouldn't be played with all seriousness by the Portuguese and winning wouldn't be a problem because I don't see how possible it will be for Luxemburg to hold down Portugal in this match and prevent them from winning. I can't say if they will even score any goal in the match.

Luxemburg have surprised most people with their latest performance,since nobody expected them to display such brilliant performance in their matches. Ronaldo playing or not playing wouldn't change anything in this match since Portugal have qualified  already.
