How many times have you successfully invited some gamblers to online casino? What is your experience doing so? I know many will find this hard to believe but I kinda prefer bringing in gamblers than investors into crypto, why? They understood the risk already, there is no talk and talk over again, there is no dealing with someone fear and confidence..

I have successfully brought in four people into crypto gambling, and it was the easiest thing ever, they came asking if it's possible to use crypto for gambling and I said yes, but I told them that I am not ready to introduce any platform for anyone, but these guys then showed me there past gambles on a local website that only accept Fiat, that's when I got soft with them and I showed them the websites I use for gambling.
Introducing people especially gamblers to crypto gambling is very much easier and like you did stated they already understand the risk associated with gambling the only difference here will be with that fact they will be using crypto as against their normal fiat which they are used to before now.

With investments the story is really different because you cannot just introduce some one to invest in something without much explanation and stating the possible risk involved and all other things involved because with investment, the amount of money usually invested is quite different from the money they will be using for crypto gambling and that why the too many questions will be asked so as to get clarification on what's possible with such investments and what's not.

Actually I can't really tell the relativity between the inflation of things recently due to economic situations as with concern to the increase in minimum stakes, because no matter how inflation happens in the society, it doesn't really have much to do with the casino because the casino has got no commodity with which it's exchanging .

I think they could be doing such increase as a restriction mechanism to certain persons because I'm very sure there are gamblers who do not gamble beyond minimum stakes and they are those who even get addicted the most and could be considered the poor gamblers. If the casino probably want to regulate the kind of customers they want with setting an obvious rule this is more like one of the strategies they could use except for if the cost of running the casino has increased they now have to increase the minimum stake to be able to keep the casino running but they I'm yet to really figure any actual reason for such increase.

Whether we realize it or not, Madrid is actually on the verge of instability after several important players were injured, but this can still be covered because Madrid has high-level players. Luckily several players were absent right after the UCL break. So he has time to improve, while in La Liga his current position is still safe because his rivals are not in a threatening condition due to being busy dealing with increasingly deteriorating finances. However, instead another competitor comes from Girona, who is still in 2nd place in the standings with a point difference that is not too far away. Another conclusion is that Madrid was saved right when the transfer window opened and they have everything to immediately upgrade the depth of the squad.
Talking about rival, I currently don't see Barcelona as Real Madrid's rival this season, so far they have been able to stay far to the top beyond Barcelona such that it will take Barcelona some good number of wins to be able to meet up with them and I don't think Barcelona Is in such a form that at this point they will be able cover up for the distance already.

Gzkron is more like a threat to Madrid in my analysis, reason been that, Girona seem to be using a very good tactics of winning the weak team to maintaining their top position and drawing the bigger teams to keep balance at the top so it very possible Girona will win their fixtures against all these small teams and later struggle to draw against the bigger rivals , Barcelona and Real Madrid, that way they will be able to attain and maintain some good balance around the top and utilize any chance they see to becoming the champions at the end of the season.

Dortmund have not won the Bundesliga trophy for several seasons, with their habit of selling players it is impossible for them to be able to compete with Munich and several other big Bundesliga teams, even this season alone, Leverkusen's performance is much better than Dortmund, many Dortmund players are being targeted by the team Others, they are good at seeing the potential of young players and developing them to sell at high prices in the transfer market.
If Dortmund have not been consistently selling off most of their players, I'm certain they would have been able to stay ahead of Bayern Munich much enough to be able to able to win the league titles especially last season when they were close to winning and later lost form and Bayern Munich as usual won again.

Dortmund have seem to look like they are more interested in just selling off their players and making more money which seem like it's more profitable to them than winning trophies, so they rather train their players sell them and make more money then just waiting to win the trophy, I think some times they realize good money enough for the players sales which makes them border little about winning trophies else they have got the ability to win the league title several times but have failed to. The business of training and selling player seems to be what they are most interested in.

Currently, we have some teams in good form like Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, and that's why I think with the current situation from all teams in the Champions League, these teams got more chance to win the title than all the other teams, Manchester City won the tournament in the last season and they had a coach like Guardiola in their teams but that's not ag good reason to as they can have more chance because in the recent games we saw from this team, they had disappointing performance compared to their performance we saw in the last season.


I agree that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich the main candidate to win the Champions League trophy but never ignore Manchester City because currently Manchester City is ready to compete with anyone after their mainstay player Kevin de Bruyne has recovered from injury. How bad Manchester City played in the previous match could not be used as a reference because the match was without Kevin de Bruyne, I think these 3 teams will go to the semifinals and we still need one more team, who is more appropriate to be there?
Inter Milan will be another team that has the most potential to fill the gap in the semifinals. Inter have only lost once in Serie A and have never lost in the preliminary round of Group D, Inter's success means their consistent performance has brought them to the top of the Serie A standings. Inter were also finalists last season, their failure in the final made them even more enthusiastic about reaching the final round again this season.
I believe if inter is able to get to the finals this season, they will most likely win the trophy because they still have that desire and will to making sure they win the UCL last season they were much close and this season if they get any closer it will be a done deal even tho it has a lot to do with the team they meet at this stage.

Inter have been able to maintain a very healthy balance between the champions league and serie A, this has further increased my confidence in their ability, they almost want to share similar record with Leverkusen just that they have suffered a loss already while Leverkusen is yet to suffer any, I just hope they don't perform any lesser after this break, they have a fair fixture for the round of sixteen so I'm very optimistic about them possibly getting pass the round of sixteen and hoping to see them in the semi finals

Liverpool have the strategies and the skills to defeat Newcastle united 3-1 in their home because they don't like to make any match easy with their opponent which they will do something miracle that will make them not to allow others teams to take over the position from them again. I know many people will use this match to believe that Liverpool are in the right direction to win this premier league title which i believe that Newcastle united can't withstand Liverpool in their home . Since Newcastle united position in the premier league is too low based on some of the defeat they experienced from other teams and it will give Liverpool more strength to achieve victory easily from Newcastle united.
The home advantage is more like the edge Liverpool has gotten in this game because checking the records Liverpool have lost only a few game at home this season, they are not lax at home at any point, they always make sure to keep it real tough with their opponent at home so winning Newcastle may not come as a shock rather an expectation.

Newcastle has been in a solid form earlier at the beginning of the season, they went several games unbeaten until recently the started loosing their for and it became so bad they lost games in a roll, in their current and present state, I doubt if they will be able to put up a good fight against Liverpool which happens to be in their good form topping the table and are willing to expanding the margin with which they are at the top so they can be able to secure the title by the end of the season.

A change of manager is a very common thing but it only happens when the former manager is replaced by a better manager. Ancelotti was not thinking of removing him because he is not doing well for Real Madrid, but he wanted to take charge of the Brazilian team, so he wanted to leave the club on his own. Although he wants to leave the responsibility of the club on his own, the club did not want to leave him at the moment because the club may not have found a manager with a good mind like him at the moment and another big thing is that the strategy that Real Madrid is currently playing is happy with the results of that strategy. Since Ancelotti has a good understanding with each player, if the team is to succeed, Ancelotti is the most likely to succeed.
A change of manager arises due to various reasons which could range from the performance of the Coach to the coach decision to leaving the team at the end of their contract probably because they are no longer fine with the terms of the team or maybe the team is no longer given an atmosphere good enough for the coach to be able to work effectively.

In the case of Ancelotti I think it was a decision made by him to exit at the end of his contract but then it seems the team is still pleased with his performance and are not willing to let him go just yet so they had to negotiate with him into renewal of his contract but what he personally wanted was to be with the Brazilian team but then I'm sure he will still achieve some more trophies with Madrid on this his renewed contract. He has spent some good time with the team so he seem to understand them well enough and that's why he works better with them more than an new coach will do almost immediately.

It's the main job for Erik Ten Hag to selects the best players for his team. The fans will criticize the players who are not in good shape, that's normal for everyone else. The Manchester United frontline exiting Old Trafford doesn't seem to be true because there's a whole lot of these transfer news flying around, some are true while some are false. We don't just know what to believe anymore. Anthony Martial is a top frontline for Manchester United but he's not having any significant changes with his presence, instead he's getting worse but I think it's mere phase and it will pass.
Every coach definitely wants to select the best player because their careers depends on their selection of players who will be able to help them achieve that which they desire to achieve with their team and so ten hag selecting the best player is him doing just what's expected of him and nothing more.

One big challenge I think ten hag has got isn't with selecting these players but managing them well enough to turn out optimal and give the desired results the team expects of them but in recent times it appears ten hag lacks good management around his players and that's why they seem to under perform under his supervision, a typical example is with onana too, martial could possibly be a good player but I think where he presently is could be a possible reason his performance could be be poor but under the management of another coach who turns out compactable with him he may perform even better.

If De Bruyne and Haaland are able to continue their excellent performances like last season, then Manchester City will surely win the Champions League title this season as well. Also Bayern Munich team is very strong this season. The Munich management have built their squad this season with the aim of winning the Champions League title and the squad is very strong. Kane is also able to score a lot of goals. On the other hand, the performance of Real Madrid with the help of Ancelotti is very consistent. Looking forward to seeing how Madrid fare against the strong teams in the knockout rounds with their weak attack.
Bayern Munich is in a good form no doubts but then there is a level of inconsistency they showed most recently and considering they don't have a very good level of experience in the UCL, it has prompted some level of doubts within me about how well they are going to perform in the UCL this season especially as it has to do with winning the trophy.

De Bruyne don't seem like he's fully recovered, tho I learned he has started training with the team but he's yet to be seen playing any match recently. I agree that if Haland is able to maintain form and stays optimal while De Bruyne gets back on the pitch strong again, with doku on the flank, winning the UCL this season is very much possible for Manchester city because these combination have got the ability to break in to most defense found in the UCL this season, De Bruyne has got the needed creativity and Haland is always there to score the goals while doku is there to make the moves and assist so it's a complete forward if the tactics used by gardiola places them in this form

Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen both are at the top of their leagues and these both are also best teams in Europa League this season, but we have few more teams which can do good work for the title race and have fair chance for the win as well but due to best shape and performance giving good advantage to these two for having better chance.
Leverkusen stands out the most for me, I know Liverpool isn't doing any bad but going by the records so far Leverkusen still stands out as both team are engaged in two competitive leagues this season, the premier league a d the bundesliga sure appears very competitive this season so I wouldn't be mistaking to compare the strength of both teams starting from their domestic leagues.

This season the bundesliga has turned out very competitive especially with the fact that Bayern Munich seems to be loosing their dominance in the bundesliga and are fighting so hard to get back on it but this hasn't in any way affected how well Leverkusen has performed in both leagues they have been able to maintain good consistency regardless of the competition but then with Liverpool it's different even tho they are currently at the to of the premier league table but they still have a few loss at the Europa although they have qualified already before suffering those losses but it did gave me some sense of possible weakness in the future with Liverpool because they lost to teams which could be considered weak.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 01, 2024, 10:20:32 AM
Inter Milan are looking to do well in the Champions League and Serie A as well. And in these two competitive leagues, it is difficult to maintain consistent good performances. Inter Milan have a very busy schedule ahead. And this will increase the injury proneness of the players. If an important player of the team suffers an injury, its impact will definitely be seen in the overall performance of the team. On the other hand, Inter Milan's main rivals for the Serie A title, Juventus, are aiming for the Serie A title. They are not playing in Champions League or Europa League. So it will be relatively easy for Juventus to maintain the consistency of performance. Before each match they will have enough time to strategize.
Juventus has got the time advantage over Inter Milan but currently inter Milan has a few time before the UCL round of sixteen kicks off so just before then they can be able to accumulate some good points so as to keep them ahead even if the have some slacks later on, I think they have a fixture in the serie A before their UCL fixture, a win in that game will keep them 3 points ahead.

Inter Milan will have to cease every opportunity .Ade available to them if they must be able to maintain a good form in the serie A and the UCL if not they are obviously going to loose out in one, somehow I tend not to see great potential for inter Milan at The UCL , tho they have some level of experience but then it will only make sense if they can go beyond the quarter finals, until then they should consider the serie A seriously els they will be displaced by Juventus and may not be able to recover from it. Balancing their performance in both competition is something they will have to work on and it can only be possible if they stay ahead in the serie A and apply some rotation thereafter.
1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling game is not good and everyone should stay away from it on: January 01, 2024, 10:11:01 AM
Of course everyone who gambles wants to win in the games they play, but it will be very different for those who can control themselves and can also manage their gambling time, for those who can do this of course they will not spend a lot of their money gambling and they have set a budget for gambling and can stop when they experience losses in their gambling.
This really depends on each individual controlling themselves well, but it is very difficult to be able to do this if we are in a game and almost lose, for some people who have become addicted to betting it will certainly be very difficult to control themselves. them when gambling.
Winning is the primary reason more than 80% of most gamblers gamble. Even those who gamble for fun actually drives the fun in their wins and not loss. But the challenge most persons usually have with their gambling habit has to be with controlling their selves well enough not to allow the habit turn out detrimental to them.

Like you rightly stated, it's more of an individually based decisions when it has to do with self restraining and control while actively gambling, most gamblers especially the average and newbie and sometimes even the experienced ones lack this quality and it has been a reason they have mostly lost so much already to gambling, if at some point they were able to apply some level of self restrain, maybe they would have been able to cut some losses just like those who do have this abilities does. Addiction actually has been one of the strongest drive against the ability of self restraint and until it's conquered most persons will not be able to self restrain.

Coaching Bayer Leverkusen was the start of his career and the beginning of his success as a coach, staying at Bayer Leverkusen was the best choice for him, especially as his team is currently in its best performance. Xabi Alonso's success in building Leverkusen has received the attention of several other teams who want to use his services. Alonso must be able to maintain his loyalty with Leverkusen for his own good, he must continue to stay there to enjoy the results of his hard work so far by winning several prestigious titles.
Xabi has built a good career around Leverkusen and his start can be considered an excellent one, there are a very few Coach I mean its actually rear, who started off like this, so Xabi can be considered a trailblazer as he is not only young but also a very brilliant coach who is coach like he has got a whole lot of experience on the job already.

I agree to your point of view, this isn't time to start moving from one team to another probably because of the few achievement he has gotten already but to rather stay loyal awhile and build more on his skills and experience as a coach with Leverkusen, it's very possible he can achieve much with them if he stay a bit longer with them, just like guardiola at Manchester city he has stayed long enough and he is achieving so much with the team already, Xabi can do same with Leverkusen except his service be no longer required.

Arsenal has failed to win two of their last Premier League matches which has made them drop to the fourth position in the Premier League table this season. Liverpool is topping Aston Villa with a point difference but Liverpool has an outstanding game. If Liverpool wins the outstanding game they will top with 3 points difference over Aston Villa. Liverpool might find it difficult to win matches because they will be without Salah who will be going for the African Cup Nation.
I feel the wave of set back just got to Arsenal and it's really telling on their performance. One will wonder what I mean by the wave of set back, it's usually common amongst big team to start off well and at some point in time in the league they experience some level of set backs and later bounce back on their feet and most big premier league team has gone through that face already.

Except for Liverpool most other big teams such as Manchester city, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester united which happens to be big names in the premier league has gone and some are still going through this phase of setbacks. The ability of any of these teams to be able to get pass this stage and back on their feet strong enough to win the title or secure a spot at the top four makes them outstanding. Liverpool which has really been fantastic is exhibiting a rear Case scenario where a team can actually stay informed all through the the season but for now I can be very certain about Liverpool's form how long they will still maintain it, but if they are able to win their next fixture, it will give them a good edge ahead of others on the standings.

A few times it may not really consist a problem or bee an issue with the casino until you actually hit a jackpot or probably win a huge amount of money then the casino may use it against you because they usually make sure big wins and Jack pots go through some good levels of scrutiny before payouts except for that you may not have much challenge.

Asides the casinos rules and policies, it's usually not really advisable you connect your personal device to public WiFi especially such found in public palaces with open access, it could expose you to some dangers making your device prone to been hijacked, as much as possible avoid connecting to public wifi except for personal WiFi whereby you have got a personal relationship with some level of trust on such persons then it can be considered safe to an extent otherwise for your safety and to maintaining a good level of security with your details and informations avoid connecting to public wifi totally.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 01, 2024, 09:09:18 AM
In gambling wins and losses are sometimes based on luck. from a logical point of view I suggest that the poor lose more and the rich win more. This is because someone can become rich by multiple win  and also someone can also become poor by multiple losses.

Another important fact to note is that the rich make higher stakes than the poor therefore making their wins more profitable than the poor.
Exactly, your point is very correct. It sometimes really have nothing to do with the status of people in most cases because be it a poor or a wealthy man both persons are pron to suffering some losses and are also prone to series of winning equally so winning or loosing can't be really stereotyped to a particular class of people in the society.

Both classes have equal privilege at the casino but have different advantage which lays within their staking strength but then it's very possible some 'poor' accumulate staking strength over a period of time especially when they are in much anticipation about a particular game they have got some level of accuracy with nevertheless it still doesn't guarantee they will win but the high stake only gives them better edge, some the poor even suffer multiple losses because since they have small bankroll the tend to engage in multiple stake at same time to increase their chances but sometimes ends up even loosing while the rich does fee picks most times.
1717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling for fun, is it a lie that we tell ourselves? on: December 31, 2023, 09:39:57 PM
Perhaps deep down in our conscience, somewhere that we don't like to listen to, it still tells us the truth that the reason why we're going to gamble is to hopefully win money, not really to have fun.

I know that it's said that you should gamble the amount that you can afford to loose, but will you call it a true fun when you know that there's a higher probability of losing your bet?
Gambling the amount you can afford to loose does not mean you aren't loosing but just a mechanism to keeping you in check such that your losses doesn't in anyway affects your mind to making you tend towards unhealthy attitude s after gambling because there are amounts that when we lose we are definitely not going to be same.

But then it's important wether you are gambling for fun or to make money , only risk the amount you can comfortably loose so you don't get to regret and start chasing losses and tend towards addiction knowingly or unknowingly the aim is to maintain a healthy gambling habit and not to self decit about our gambling habit, if your losses is taking a tool on you, it's important you take a break and probably quite it will do you much good than it will hurt but if you don't quit you will only get frustrated as gambling can actually ruin you if not played with good caution.
1718  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: December 31, 2023, 08:52:23 PM
Actually the rich tend to win more than the poor because they have better risk management which allows them to keep their bankroll incheck such that they loose less often than they win because they know how much they are putting at stake so that makes them reduce their risk to the bearest minimum so as to increase their chances of winning.

The house always have that house edge privilege and that's not in doubts as they are most at advantage more often than the gamblers. The poor usually have the mentality of wanting to milk the house all at one by this they tend to increase their risk by making multiple picks such that the odds become too high and their chances of winning reduces but with the rich they make only very few picks and with high stakes, they will be making good amount bof money already but the poor needs to accumulate so much odds to be able to get such amount the rich will get at once and this variations results from their varring staking power.
1719  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 31, 2023, 07:06:17 PM
I'm looking forward to Xabi, who is rumored to be coaching Madrid. That's because Don Carlo is rumored to have agreed to coach the Brazilian national team. but in the end, Madrid and Don Carlo agreed to extend his contract.
Xabi's performance with Leverkusen was extraordinary. Leverkusen showed many changes in the game. If Leverkusen maintains their performance they can take the Bundesliga trophy from Munich's dominance. they must try to keep Xabi for several seasons. The experience that happened to Napoli in Serie A should open the eyes of all clubs.
I don't think Leverkusen bis even ready to let go of Xabi any time soon because they also wants his service as they have seen that he's doing real well with the team and if they get so lucky they may end up with the bundesliga title this season and the Europa is another with which they are looking very promising aswell so Xabi has still got some time at Leverkusen.

It was actually rumoured that he will be going to Real Madrid but now I doubt if they will be happening again, looking from another dimension I think it will be even much more better if xabi will stay longer in Leverkusen and not rush to going to another team where he may not be sure of the possibility of his career yet, he's just a Young coach though has been able to maintain a good record across Europe this season but I think rushing to another team because of this achievement of his may affect his career in a way but If he stays back at Leverkusen and help them get some trophy he may get an opportunity to further improve his skills and get good experience for his career.

Juventus' success in narrowing the points gap with Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A standings is quite extraordinary because this season Juventus does not need to think about other competitions apart from just competing in Serie A. So the strategy that Juventus has used to continue winning at home is certainly still good enough for him this season, even though next season it might not be good enough. Especially when Juventus returns to playing in a big competition like the UCL next season, it is clear that Juventus must have another strategy to win the match.
Juventus is really showing their zeal in trying to getting the league title this season as they are not faced with another competition other than this which they are currently facing at the moment so I'm not surprised at their performance because I'm even in anticipation of more from them.

Narrowing the point gap till they finally displace inter Milan is one thing that they must do because they it's the only way with which they can hope to win the trophy by the end of the season, if they further succeed in get more points above inter Milan with the advantage of imter Milan having to focus on the UCL which may pose some distraction to them this season in the serie A but Roma too is another team Juventus and inter have to be weary of as they are willing to cease any opportunity to getting to the top aswell.
