201  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: June 03, 2024, 01:32:45 PM
Today is the big day for Napoli. Antonio Conte has landed in Capodichinio and is ready to sign. However, I would never have expected it from him to sign with Napoli. It is truly incredible that Delaurentis spends so much on a coach who certainly he will ask for a lot of new players and honestly the arrival of Lukaku intrigues me a lot, in three years he will get 18 million which is a lot of money, as we said in recent days the club and the coach are already ready to give away Kvara and Di Lorenzo to do some great players arrive, we'll see...
It is a good move for Napoli because last season was a mess for them due to their inconsistency. Conte is a good coach and he will be able to get the players of his choice to work with in order for him a achieve a good result, if possible win the league at the end of next season.

The money from those three players will go far in purchase of new players because Osinhem and De Llorence would be sold for a big amount. Seria A will be very interesting next season because clubs are loading and offloading players and coach to get the best result next season. Lukaku has shown his quality in Seria A, and he will be a good replacement for Osinhem

Of the four top teams that I mentioned, only Roma will return to the European league and the rest will compete on the bigger stage of the Champions League. Is it possible that the underdog team will surprise again next season? remembering that everything is possible after seeing Atalanta this season and of course we won't see Sevilla either because they were knocked out last season and in the domestic league they finished in the bottom position. Grin

Atalanta unexpectedly won the Europa League title this season. However, this team gave a lot of effort to win the Europa League title. The Atalanta team was not the favorite for the Europa League title. But it was not a weak team either. Atalanta qualified for the final with a good performance, and the team also performed well in the final match.

No word yet on which team will win the title next season. However, in every season of the Europa League, Roma team is considered as the favorite to win the title. And the Roma team also gives full effort to win the Europa League title. It remains to be seen how Roma will perform with De Rossi next season.
Nobody thought of Atalanta in the beginning of the league because we believe more in big clubs. Liverpool was doing perfectly OK in EPL, and Leverkusen was winning their matches and this was what made most people to see these two clubs as favorites. Atalanta was in Seria A and nobody will look up to them, because Roma is there and most people will even pick Roma instead of Atalanta.

However, this is football and we can only give our predictions on who will win the league but we cannot come to conclusion, because it is hard to predict the future since there will be some unforseen circumstances that will hinder our predictions from coming true due to natural phenomenon. Football is full of surprises and that is why no one can come to conclusion and beat his chest on his prediction coming true. Atalanta murdered the season, and I don't think I would love to predict who will be the winner of next season, until it competition starts.

Personally, entertainment is something that you do to give you joy or others while relaxing. Sometimes, you pay for entertainment, and that is how gambling is. This is why one don't need to think of profit from gambling or else you will not enjoy the entertainment from gambling because you will not be relaxed to enjoy the game, but your mind will be on your bet.

During entertainment, something would be achieved either funds or inner satisfaction of that activity because it should be fun. If you gamble, it is either you win or loss, but what matters is that you've satisfied your desire to gamble, and those who are gambling for profit will not be satisfied, because no amount of money can satisfy human.

See what banks are used for?
For criminals.
And how much some parent companies of banks had to pay for penalty?.
The is alot of irregularities or illegal act's going on in banking system but governments can not concentrate to figure out those irregularities in banking system, but I don't know while governments refused to fight banks while illegal things is going on there.
We have banks to help government keep and circulate their fiat currency, and so why do you think that they will go against their own. The government owns the bank, and they want people to gain trust on banks so they cover the illegal activities that is going on in banks.

The government don't like bitcoin because it is not from them, and the decentralized nature of bitcoin is a big headache to the government, since they cannot control it. This is why government is trying to fight through exchanges regulations and having the ETFs to enable them have list of people storing their bitcoin in centralized platform, but they will not be able to get those that are purely using bitcoin in a decentralized way. Government hates their citizens financial freedom.
205  Other / Off-topic / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: June 03, 2024, 08:00:07 AM
Ideally, the dangers of gambling entertainment should be talked about in some format as early as high school. Young people should realise that there are no free ways to get rich, and that some effort is required everywhere. One in a million can become rich just like that (unfortunately, I do not have exact statistics). And this must be kept in mind and do not forget when you dive headlong into gambling entertainment.

Firstly, I think it's important to be calling gambling "entertainment", like you did in your post, when explaining beginners the dangers of it. Because the main danger is lying exactly there: the possibility of stopping to treat gambling as entertainment. It's when you are stepping into the dangerous waters of treating gambling as some money-making business you problems can begin growing like wild weeds. So, don't do that, beginners. Don't treat gambling as anything else but entertainment.
Beginners needs to know this, and they should not go into gambling because of what they see on social media about people who won huge amount of money in gambling. Some are true and some are not, it is not easy to win a huge amount in gambling, and that is why gamble should be done for fun.

Likewise, beginners should know that the money lost cannot be recovered, because gambling is not a business that losses can be recovered but it is an activity done to try one's luck, and if you are not lucky, you just let go without thinking twice because it is a game. Little amount of money should be used for gambling at all time to avoid emotions on your loss.

Both of them are only after power and nothing else, they are using what they know that the citizens wants as a promise in order for them to win their votes. This is why we are seeing the sudden change in their speech towards bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

I believe that if any of them win the election, all what they said about crypto will be put aside and they might even go against cryptocurrency and come up with charges on cryptocurrency that will make US citizens see their actions as if they have the interest of the citizens in heart. Don't trust politicians with their empty promises.
207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you ignore/resist cheating to secure a winning bet? on: June 03, 2024, 06:25:01 AM
It depends on the character of that individual, people that loved to cheat naturally in life or that loves to steal from others to enrich themselves, and people who are not satisfied with what they have, will like to cheat if they have the chance when gambling without thinking twice.

Upright and honest person will not cheat even if he has the access to cheat the casino, because that is not his lifestyle. I don't think that I have thought of cheating when gambling because I use it to entertain myself and I am enjoying the fun so why will I cheat. If I cheat, then it is no longer gambling but stealing, because your win wasn't t real and it was not by your luck.
208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you bet against the club you support? on: June 03, 2024, 05:35:14 AM
I am a gambler does not mean that if I see a sure bet against my club to lose, that I will not take advantage of that bet, because it is fun to see that you win your bet. If it was in the rules of the club that an employee working for a club should not place a bet against the club, then that employee went wrong and deserves to be fired.

However, if it was not in their rules, I don't see it as any problem because he is only gambling and a gambler has the right to bet on whichever club he thinks is cool to put his money on. I always bet against my club if they are the underdog.
209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: June 02, 2024, 07:29:53 PM
Xabi Alonso and his entire squad doesn't run from fight, rather they embraced them but this one was just out of the picture. The Europa League final was definitely tough and only the best was able to accumulate winning points and they're now Europa League title champion. Bayer Leverkusen maintain an unbeaten run in bundesliga but couldn't make it al complete after their defeats against Atalanta in the Europa League final. This was humiliating result on Atalanta ends.
Xabi Alonso has tried to win the final match of Europa league. They already performed well during the season, but it was unlucky that they couldn't play with their best level in the final match. I think Xabi Alonso still has a lack experience to face the final match as a manager. If he already has enough experience, he may win the match against Atalanta. Sure he has the experience in the final but it was when Xabi as a player. It is a different experience, Xabi needs an experience for coach career.

Xabi Alonso has another chance to finish the season with unbeaten record again next season. Although it seems will be so difficult but it is not impossible. But what I want to see is Xabi Alonso wins the first international trophy as a manager. Xavi will try a new experience in UCL, Leverkusen will play in UCL for the next season.

However, Xabi Alonso has a great record as a young manager so far.



Source: transfermarkt
I would not agree that Alonso lacks experience in final matches. It was just that they underestimated Atalanta who was fully prepared to win the finals. The reason why I said so is that, Atalanta is winning the Europa league for the first time, which means that they also lack experience in playing the finals.

Alonso that was unbeaten this season in his domestic league, shows a lot of experience because such record have not been created since the history of Bundesliga, and this is why I don't accept the fact that Xabi Alonso don't have final match experience. It is just that his strategy was too weak for his opponent which made Atalanta to use it as an opportunity to win them.
210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: June 02, 2024, 06:42:24 PM
Chelsea should be able to put trust in every coach they employ, like Ten Hag at Manchester United and Arsenal with Artata. Not all coaches are able to do a great job in just one first season, even if it is not impossible, it will be really difficult because of the adaptation process.
Chelsea is completely different from other elite EPL club. They're strict when it comes to their managers and not welcoming any relenting outcomes. Erik Ten Hag in Chelsea? He would have been sacked long time ago. The previous owner, Abramovic doesn't welcome any relenting efforts or if he sensed any form of incompetence from the headcoach, he will definitely make good use of the sack letter.

Messy Chelsea. Big club, big money, big egos, no stability. They want everything now. Now, Ten Hag. His Manchester United performance was decent. But he had time. The season was his chance to create his team. Chelsea? A spinning door. They fire managers faster than I fire Apprentice contestants. Both Pochettino and Maresca are good. The best coach cant win with a chaotic team. Plan, vision, and patience are essential. They should let the coach coach. They'll keep failing unless they figure that out.

A good coach cannot fix the problem of Chelsea in just a season and I don't know why the management cannot just understand that. I was expecting that with the recent performance of Chelsea's towards the end of the season they will give Pocchetino another chance but they were so quick to sack him, of which it is now that I feel that he has started understanding the players and building the team.

What if the new coach is unable to revive Chelsea will he get sacked at the end of next season, then Chelsea will never be in dorm if they cannot be patient with a coach that will bring back the club to lime light
211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it? on: June 02, 2024, 04:53:40 PM
Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?

It is amazing to think that it is difficult to calculate how many hundreds of casinos are located in religious places all over the world. Casinos are basically a place to lose money, it can never be a place to make money. In some casinos, the owners of the casino board are set up in such a way that no matter what they do, they can't walk away with the money. Meaning, here you can only take money but you can't come out earning money.

So it can be said without a doubt, that casinos are a place to lose money, never a place to make money.
It is a pity that a lot of gamblers don't know this and they see casinos as a place to make a fortune, unknown to them that the casinos are out to take their funds from them with a betting trick. Although, that does not mean that if you win, the casino will not pay you but it will be somehow hard for you to win big.

This is why I keep laughing at gamblers who are chasing their losses when I tell them not to, but they will tell me that losses can be recovered the more you play. This is why any game lost is gone and only gamble to entertain yourself so that you can enjoy the fun in gambling.
212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: June 02, 2024, 04:10:08 PM
To be honest, I would have loved Dortmund to win this trophy.Real Madrid are already the favorites for this trophy, so there are very few teams that can stop them here.Dortmund made it to the final and maybe this time I expected them to lift the trophy against Real Madrid, but it didn't happen. Even though they played a good game against Real Madrid, they couldn't do it.Real Madrid are in great form and are always the favorites.Fülkrug played badly throughout the game in my opinion.The team as a whole is good and the striker needs to make the most of his chances.
It's very hard for a club that is reaching the finals of the Champions League for the first time, to lift the trophy over a club that has reached the finals of the Champions League over and over again by winning most.
When I learned that the Champions League finals would be between Real Madrid and Dortmund, I predicted the match to be in favor of Real Madrid, no matter how Dortmund tries to prove to the whole world that they can beat Real Madrid for the UEFA trophy.
That being said, Real Madrid is in the race of most successful clubs in the world, with their 15th Champions League won trophy.


I agree with you because before City won it last season it was like a lot of effort and hard work of several trials. This was why I also said that it will be impossible for a club to come from behind and win Real Madrid in the finals. Some fans that are in support of Dortmund was able to see how the men was separated from the boys yesterday. A man has life experience but a boy is just growing.

Real Madrid squad is not a squad to mess with because they have an experience coach backing them up and he has a lot of champion league experience, which was a big advantage for Real Madrid. Will it be possible for Real Madrid to win it back to back again next season, because there are two more superb player that will be moving to Real Madrid when the transfer window is open.

I genuinely  think about this question twice a week.

Satoshi Nakamoto (Who ever he really is) simply made Bitcoin to give a chance to geniuses like him to be rich
remember that Satoshi was a math genius, he solved equations thought  to be impossible it the time being.

he made it so only smart people who live in the west can be millionaires in the future and he did it I mean look at the richest people who made there fortune form Bitcoin and other Crypto currencies, all of them have 130 IQ at the least and all of them sold most of it.
Bitcoin isn't real, the money that those people got is.
change my mind!
The rich get richer and the poor gets poorer. From what you are saying it looks like you are from a third world country. The rich people who understand the potential in bitcoin were able to accumulate enough Bitcoin when it was cheap, and from history bitcoin price have being increasing overtime generating more profit for them.

Next time don't think of things but make research and learn more about it before you come to share your thoughts with people, so that they don't see you as someone that is in the other side of the world. Government printed fiat to manipulate it and make themselves rich, bitcoin is opposite of fiat.
214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 02, 2024, 01:44:40 PM
Dortmund did their best too and their performance wasn't bad aswell too because they were dominant at some point in the first  half and had several chances that were missed of which they would have been opportuned to get some goals and win their game in the first half so both teams did played well but Madrid did better and won.
Yes, it's true that I saw that Madrid seems to have a weakness there, namely fast counter attacks, but unfortunately Dortmund hasn't been as lucky as before, Madrid was finally able to control the game in the second half and was able to score two goals, Dortmund had to admit Madrid's toughness even though they didn't play badly during the match. It's just that Dortmund wasn't really lucky, Madrid finally got their 15th trophy and established their team as the strongest team in Europe this season..
I have always said it in my past statement that when it comes to luck in the finals, Real Madrid will be more lucky than Dortmund and that was what we say that played out in the first half, if not that ball that hit the goal post would have being a goal. Dortmund should be happy that they had their time in the first half but misused it, forgetting that such opportunities might not come again.

From what I have observed in Ancelotti, if he cannot get any good result in the first half, he comes with full force in the second half and before you know it his boys will turn the game around to their favor and win the match. I am happy towards this finals because I stakes my net on Real Madrid and my friend was telling me that I will lose my bet, but we were together yesterday celebrating my win and Madrid's victory.
215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress? on: June 02, 2024, 01:00:35 PM
I don’t think that many people have time to even check or tracking their gambling progress or checking on their past story and what they have done like their success on the game and the time they have lost, is not easy and it just a matter of understanding and taking the decision to
Always track it, but not so many people that do track their progress and check on the game frequently, some people just play and let the past go away so they can move on, but some other person do take it has an experience to know how to play the next game it serves as teaching to them.
One thing that I understand about gambling is that there is nothing one can do that will make him win more than he losses. If you track your previous game and think that you have gained experience on that past game, go and bet again with your new experience if it is not your lucky day you will still run at loss.

I only gamble for fun, so there is no need for all that because it wouldn't change anything. This season football matches were big surprises but you know that the strong teams are suppose to win the underdogs. This is gambling for you because it is called try your luck, and are you trying your luck at the right time. This is the question that you need to ask yourself. The bottom line is that no matter how you do to see how you will improve in your winning streak, you will still lose more than you win. So the best thing is to limit your losses by having self control over your gambling activities and know the right time to stop playing.

Honestly, experience plays a good part in football, so even though Dortmund was performing greatly against Real Madrid tonight, I still believe that it was Real Madrid that will win the trophy. Real Madrid is the kind of team that can do surprise things at any time. So before the game started, we were aware that Real Madrid was the favourite team to win the game, unless something unexpected will just happen but I was not even thinking of any surprise in today's final.but the way that Dortmund performed tonight really surprised me because I was not expecting much from them do to their domestic performance statistics; they are not that in great form. If Dortmund had  had good experience attacking attackers today, it could have been a different story we will be discussing now. Real Madrid really deserved it, and that is why they won it. This is another great achievement for them.
While Dortmund were bit unlucky with that the ball hitting the post, I still think even if they scored that goal they probably will still lose because though they started well, it's an obvious fact that Real Madrid do become dangerous as match is about to end and we saw it today as the match goes by they became weaker and Real Madrid became much stronger and got the victory just like most of us expected.
The Europa finals winner was a surprise to me and same with the FA Cup finals, but I was not surprised with the UCL final game as I expected Real Madrid to do it again as the most lucky club in history. It was a miracle that happened in the first half for Real Madrid because the ball hit the bar out and other chances were missed. The moment Dortmund was unable to make use of their chance, I knew it that they will not be able to win Real Madrid.

This is because if you have lost your chances those opportunities will turn around to your opponents and if they don't miss their, you are defeated. This was what happened, I knew it that if Real Madrid should have a good opportunity to net the post just as Dortmund had in the first half, they will score theirs, and that was what played out in the second half.

Congratulations to Real Madrid.

Oh damn those Madrid defenders got me heart attack
Exactly mate, Dortmund just lost two great chances that was suppose to be a goal, the first was by Adeyemi had a one on one with Coutua and he missed it. Second chance hit the bar. Dortmund is pressuring seriously to break the deadlock but lucky is denying them from having a goal.

Real Madrid is doing all the playing with no good chance of finding the back of the net, but i believe that if they have a chance they will score. Dortmund game strategy is as if it wants to outsmart Real Madrid game pattern. No team should be underrated in a final game.
I just like the last phrase that you used and that is what I have been advising since the fixture between Real Madrid and Dortmund was net public. No team that ever made it to the final that should be underrated. Now it is remaining few minutes for the end of the first half and yet the score line is still goaless. While so many people have believed that within the first 20 minutes of the match Real Madrid should be able to score. It is just finals and it will not look less like a final. Assuming Dortmund was able to convert their two chances, at least they should be leading by two goals by now. And you know how difficult it is to come back when it is one goal against you let alone two goals in a finals.
Well, it is fine but the finals is not a boring one. Borussia Dortmund is showing that for them to come to the finals it is not a mistake. Let us cross our fingers to see what the final outcome of this champions league final will look like.
Real Madrid players were playing a defensive game in the last 15 minutes of the match, because they are very cautious and don't want to make any mistakes that will allow Dortmund score them first. Real Madrid knows that if Dortmund scores first, Dortmund will prefer to defend the goal till the end and they will use only counter attack and through pass to try their luck for the second goal.

Let's see what the second half will bring for us because I know that changes would be be made by Ancelotti, because this is not the Real Madrid that I use to know with attacking force.
What Ancelotti is playing is finals and as an experienced coach, he has witnessed finals countless times and he knows the atmosphere of finals. He knows how to win finals. He cannot test if the water is shallow by going with his two feet. This is not the usual La liga vibe of football. It is a war against league, it is a battle between Spain and Germany. The recent finals that didn't take how it was expected, i.e Europa League finals and Emirates Fa cup has thought him a lesson he needs to learn. In as much as he is the favourite, he still needs to be cautious because only 1 goal against him can do the job for Dortmund. I am happy that the expectations of many people didn't happen. Even if Dortmund has to lose, they have shown capacity against the giants.
You are right with what you said that Ancelotti does not test the depth of water with two legs but one to know which strategy he will use to win the match and he has finally done that in the second half.

Two goals was scored withing 9 minutes to win the finals and this will be the 15th time that Real Madrid will win this competition. Real Madrid knows how to play this league better than any club you can only stop them before the finals but not in the final match.
