The mother and son should be happy that it is a bailable offense and it fine is cheap. I don't see this as a problem to them compare to the money that they squandered. They are chasing their loses by allowing their emotions to control them.

Blaming someone else for the consequences of your action is bad. Only an addicted gambler will frame up such stories for them to cover up their gambling addiction. The mom and her son need rehabilitation from gambling so that they don't bring frustration to themselves at the end of the day.
Chasing of losses in gambling is what normally makes a gambler loose alot when gambling. The thought will be that with very game you play you can recover the previous lose you made and before you know it you are already on a highway of many losses. Its better to have a budget while gambling so that you will know when to stop and that should be immediately after the funds you kept for it is over anything other than that can result to so many disastrous scenarios.

Arsenal lost focus in the title race by not taking their important previous four matches serious
Like three matches played by Arsenal before playing with Manchester city, Arsenal where reserving most of his players, all his target was against Manchester City,  so he didn't want to misuse his players, which have lead him to his current failure, Arteta couldn't even win the Manchester city he has been reserving his players against, and the once you should have taken serous which will help you, you draw all the matches. If Arsenal won their match against Liverpool, west ham, Southampton and lose to Manchester city, they will still have hope that they can win the league.

All their good effort in the beginning of the league has been useless since they won't be able to win the league.
I think that's just the most painful part, after performing well from being to the ending, they made their fans have hope that they are going to win the league this season, but when they are having few matches left, they started misbehaving, now everyone already lose hope in them.

It was obvious that Arsenal was going to lose the match against Manchester City looking at the past head-to-head performances between the two giants. I knew that Arsenal stood no chance at winning the match but I had anticipated a draw. Arteta the Arsenal coach  would have played a more defensive rather than an offensive formation, Arsenal would have stood a chance at regaining and maintaining their spot on the premier league table with just a draw. Man city on the other hand came on with their best team players which made it look so easy that they won the match.
I totally agree on the proposed tactics that arteta should have used, I mean c'mon man this Manchester city team are like hungry wolves looking to devour their opponent alive and that's what they certainly did with the gunners. Arsenal are a good team but arteta coming out to play Manchester city on this particular tie was a very option and a mistake I guess he would be regretting by now. But arsenal vs Chelsea is totally different case and I think arteta are going use this Chelsea game to console themselves after that heavy loss to Manchester city.

sevilla is favourite for the cup, beating the best team in the cup and getting to the far, means that they are favourite, juventus is another contender.  both team can meet in the finals. they have been outstanding in the league. but i wish Sevilla wins
Since Sevilla got rid of the more favored team, it's only natural that they become another favourite, even though in the domestic league they are far from what was expected. Juventus must be careful with this team, because Sevilla can surprise them at any time. Manchester United were their victims before, although that was supported by Manchester United themselves who did not perform well in that match and made many mistakes.
This sevilla teams is like a green snake in a green grass, I never thought that they could eliminate Manchester united but once I saw the flaws thid Manchester united team did in the first leg an atom of misbelief crept into my mindset and to my greatest surprise they were undone by this Spanish team that is obviously underperforming in their league. Now Juventus have been match with them again and they are clearly under dogs but can definitely surprise the old lady's of Turin.

For, Man United itself is probably going to win this match against Tottenham. Although the score is 1 - 2, if we are looking at the match, Man United may have bigger chance to win. Except, Ten hag made careless decision again.
Too bad. Man United really lost the chance to win again. even though they already won 2 goals first. But the longer their game is unstable. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Tottenham are increasingly insistent and fighting for their fate. So in the end at least this time they are still in a draw. For some reason, Man United have been like de Javu several times, when they were already 2 goals ahead, they seemed to have lost control and felt safe. So when they are being chased by their opponent, they seem shocked and not in a state of readiness.
Manchester united are currently enjoying a taste of their own medicine. Over the years Manchester were best known for one act which is the come-back-kings, coming from behind to salvage atleast a point or most times even win the game. But now these days it seem their are the ones at the opposite end. Tonight again Manchester united have gifted away another two goal lead which is not quite impressive from their own end since the battle for the top four is still very strong prior to the fact that their opponent Newcastle continues to secure exquisite wins and points for themselves.
2165  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The psychology of betting..... on: April 27, 2023, 05:42:25 PM
in my case I only place sports bets, I only bet on a game after I have analyzed the two teams, this is strategy, I analyze the two teams that are going to play and when I analyze the game I think as if I were going to a battlefield what would I do to survive on the battlefield. for example there is an arsenal game against city ( game has already ended with an expected victory for city ) so the first thing to analyze is where they are going to play and the results that both teams had when playing at home and away from home in the last 5 games, then analysis and direct confrontation between these two teams, then I start by analyzing the formation of each team and its players individually, then I analyze the number of goals conceded and scored in the last 5 games, then I analyze the importance of the game for both teams

once this part is done, then I move on to the profitable part, I analyze the value of the odd if it will be worth it, in sports betting, making bets with an odd of @ 1.50 is not worth it, this in the long term is a big loss, that's why making a multibet bet it is the only solution to make a long-term profit, but the problem is that this strategy is very risky, it is enough to lose a single game for all bets to be lost, at the end of the day there is no winning strategy in games of chance, there is no lucrative way in gambling, everyone who is a customer loses and the only one who profits is the owner of the casino and his employees
Lol.  Grin at first when I was going through your comment, I thought you had some kind of beautiful strategy to winning sport bets because thats the field am into too but its seem you have arrived at the one truth there is to gambling which is no strategy is full proof to guaranteeing you a winning its just a matter of how lucky you are. Sometimes myself after going through the stats of the game I want to bet on I discover that the end result is opposite to what I actually predicted. No can definitely win the casino, if they give you winning, its with their left hand and they take it all back with the right hand.

"The reins of the English Premier League title are now in our hands,"
said Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola after Manchester City's 4-1 win over Arsenal.

He had good reason to say so. Because it's only a matter of time for Manchester City to top the English Premier League points table. Although Arsenal are at the top of the points table, they may not be able to maintain the top position of the points table for long. Manchester City will take over the top position of the points table very soon as they gave a glimpse against Arsenal. And I believe this season's Premier League trophy will go to Manchester City.
They is still a slight possibility for arsenal because Manchester city still have two outstanding matches to play which can result turn out to be in the favor if Manchester city are to drop points by losing or drawing those two games which I believe won't be easy because Manchester city are well aware that they can afford any slip up.

However, don't take my advice seriously, because I'm not one of those people whose opinion carries some weight on the forum.
An advice is always welcome on the forum and you sharing your opinion here is not a bad thing at all. What the op is feeling now is quite normal among some legendary member ranks in the forum because like what most merit source have already said about given out merits, some merits sources prefer given merits to lower rank member that are striving to rank up so when the  highest rank in the forum is achieved by a member, I feel they are left to earn these merits to actually represent the legendary rank they rep and most times its only takes extra efforts to keep these merits coming but just be sure that the merits will eventually come especially if you have built for yourself a good reputation in various ways of contributing in the forum.
2169  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin overshadowed by economic lie on: April 26, 2023, 02:58:42 AM

The old system always fights back before the adoption like the new technology such as TV or cards. Before the TV was widely used, the radio companies also resist. So far even when the bank and government were trying to suppress BTC, its price and adoption are gradually rise up and is adopted.

The crisis the world is experiencing I think helped the BTC adoption, including the inflation which the BTC narrative about it is proven to be the greatest hedge for the declining value of currencies.
That's the whole evolution theory I have been trying to emphasise, bitcoin adoption and resistance now is actually natural because the world financial system is about to go through a massive change, which i can i say have already started@#el salvador and its only normal for the current system to resist as its a show of tussle of power but its quite unfortunate that no one actually can cheat evolution as humans are bound for changes and this change in the financial sector will definitely come to realization whether the FCK face banks or government likes it or not. Before now the world was using the barter system then we evolved to cowry then metals then paper and now digital so time is
the grandmaster of everything and we all have to wait patiently for his final verdict. Wink
2170  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 25, 2023, 09:00:28 PM
Honestly, looking at this current Tottenham side, you could see that they lack direction. In the game against Newcastle United, Tottenham were tactically brainless, playing a dangerously high line while never putting any pressure on the ball. It was too easy for Newcastle to play through them or to just stick the ball in behind them, run straight onto it and score. Tottenham absolutely need to find their way up and change the toxic mood and atmosphere around the club that, once again, is turning mutinous and could lead to them failing to even qualify for Europe.

To be honest they are very unlucky now after yesterday they lost to Newcastle with a fantastic score and this week they have to be ready to meet Manchester United. In the struggle for the Tottenham Team, it is possible to get tickets to Europe because if it is said for Champions Tickets, we say they are very difficult, unfortunately they met Manchester United, where they are much better than Tottenham, especially now that Manchester United is chasing 3rd standings, which is of course they will try to win this match over Tottenham
.
I was really shocked to how Tottenham lost that particular game to Newcastle, I mean the margin was just too much and that kind of scoreline can really demoralized the players in that club  and with tension for the top four increasing, Tottenham will have to tightened their seat belt and bounce back from that lost if not they will definitely miss from the top. Tottenham vs Manchester united is going to be a really hard match as both teams will be desperate to book their spots in the top four and I will bet on the game to end up a full time draw.
2171  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price gets to $60k this year? on: April 25, 2023, 08:48:34 PM
No , it won't. Bitcoin hit a massive resistance in the 30k area and that's why we are down under 30k again and most likely we will spend the entire summer cycle in this zone  Cry. Maybe by the end of 2023 we could see another try of Bitcoin to break that resistance because in my books , 2024 it's a bull run and I do see Bitcoin to hit again 60k and halv should be the indicator of how much potential can Bitcoin to go over 60k.
Those are strong words there but I thank God nothing is certain as these words are just mere speculations and its normal for every enthusiasts to speculate their own views in the crypto space. From my own take on bitcoin resistance this year, I feel BTC can break 40 to 45k this year but its going to be hard as no one in the crypto space would have expected bitcoin to attain this level of height after the massive dip it experience last year.
2172  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What will you do with bitcoin? on: April 25, 2023, 01:33:58 PM
Basically I will keep holding Bitcoin if hits new all time high. My plan is to hold Bitcoin till it's been legalized by the Government. Because we maynot be able to buy Bitcoin agin at the low price. Day by day it's popularity will gain also it's usecases. So who will sell it too early? I think selling Bitcoin is a fool decision if you don't need it badly. Keep Bitcoin holding and enjoy the Ride of Bitcoin. I have trust on Bitcoin and one-day it will be legalized and adopted massively then it will be very precious.
That's a really wild and long time to hold your coins but its understandable though as the adoption of bitcoin keeps growing but my only concern is that no one actually knows when the price or bitcoin is going be accepted in the world as a legal tender and this acception could lots of years to achieved and its solely dependent on the country or nation involved.
2173  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: April 25, 2023, 11:47:52 AM
I am not a gambling addict but some friends are making me look like one because I gamble less and they gamble more, it all started when we got into an argument that investing in Bitcoin is not the same as gambling, my friends who are gamblers, not full-time but more of a gambler than I am, are claiming that there is no difference between investing and gambling, they said if all you doing is investing money on Bitcoin you are no different to those who are gambling in a casino.

Still, I refuse this because I believe they are wrong, Bitcoin market has charts and I am playing with charts even if I am a full-time Bitcoin trader, all I need to do is read charts, and if I am good at it I will win vs gambling, where it's you vs a company which we can never tell if their games are completely fair or not.

Furthermore, I told them that Bitcoin investors tend to get positive results, while online casino gamblers tend to get negative results more than positive result, true or false?

I asked them to show me prove that they make more from gambling than they lose, none of them showed me, but I prove to them that I hardly have losses investing in Bitcoin lol .

Famz, drop your opinion on this, would you categorize these two as gambling? Because the only winning factor from Bitcoin investment is to just buy low and wait for a high price, it's not the same with casinos. Am I not making sense? I will like to hear from you.
Well first of all, bitcoin investment and gambling are totally different things but in the case of you investing in other altcoins that are not reliable then I think its fair that we can relate it to gambling because you never know what's gonna happen with coins as your investment can just go sideways and you will lose your money which is almost same thing with gambling but gambling is more complex because you cant actually study the odds where as in market you successful study the charts like you stated. Gambling is normally based on the factor of luck let's take for example sports gambling and soccer to be specific, you can stay up all night and carefully browse or check the stats of a team that's want to play but as soon you eventually place a bet on that team, you will then discover that the outcome of the result will be different from what you predicted and if luck doesn't shine on you, you will end up losing a lot of cash on gambling.
2174  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin adoption growing stronger everyday on: April 25, 2023, 11:31:25 AM
In the future, almost all countries will adopt cashless transaction technology.  And it will reach all sectors in everyday life.  And with the technology brought by Bitcoin, this will make crypto currency experience good growth every year.  I think in the future there will be many crypto currency technologies that will be applied in every sector of life.  That's why I believe that Cryptocurrency is a great investment asset for the future.
Well what I can say to this that is there is one thing humans are known for it should be the constant change and this change has been imminent ever since. Human have gone through a lot of evolution since the onset of time and this change has been in every sector including the financial sector, so I think the creation of bitcoin was bound to happened and so also will its full adoption by the nations of world, time is just the supreme factor here. Its been a hell of a ride since the creation of bitcoin and its certainly going to be adopted but only time can tell.
2175  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: About football betting on: April 24, 2023, 09:26:53 PM
I myself I do more of football betting that casino. Both casino betting and football betting involve some risks which is loosing and getting addicted. In football, there are higher chances of winning than in casino game even though the wining sometimes depends on the team performance and sometimes it depends on the decisions of the referee. But in the case of referee VAR assist in making the decisions of the referees fair. It can dictate an offside line.
Football betting for sure is way much preferable than the casino game reason been that those casino game are control by a computer system and every game you play is based on luck while on football betting you can actually make your own research on the teams and decide through the gather information the appropriate result to get from that particular football match.

Apart from providing me an extra source of income in trading it, Bitcoin has proved to me that it's a seamless transaction whenever I use it for investment as against the bottleneck that arises when using fiat. I make a transfer to an account I'm funding and within minutes it reflects. That's the beauty of Bitcoin as it cuts off middleman in the game. So, who wouldn't want it to stay even if it's just for the stress it takes off one? The same transaction that could take me days paying with fiat, it's just a few minutes with Bitcoin payment.
Apart from the fact that its eases the stress of payment of things, it also a barrier breaker to many financial issues one would have experience in their fiat banks like for example the recent changes that occur in the banking system in my country that lead to massive upset in every corners of nation and its wasn't the same experience for me because of extra edge I had because of bitcoin and its definitely helped me because i didn't go to the banks to make any transaction as I can easily pay my bills and other necessity with my coins.

What your opinion about statistic from Tuchel? have been right decision sacked julian nagelsmann and replacing by bad manager? Bayern Munich on crucial position right now after eliminating from DFB Pokal, Champion League and Tuchel has opportunity giving second chance for Dortmund back to the top position for few hours later if winning against Eintracht Frankfurt. Right now Bayern Munich opportunities dominance in Bundesliga for eleven years not depending on their self but need other team help for stopping Dortmund winning all matches left. I have criticize with Bayern manager decision sacked julian nagelsmann and replace by Tuchel.

Bad statistic for Tuchel with 3 loss of 7 games than Nagelsmann with 3 loss of 37 games



https://twitter.com/ESPNFC/status/1649802804091813889?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

You can blame Tuchel for everything, but it’s hardly his fault that Bayern flew out of the German Cup, then out of the Champions League and now risks losing the Bundesliga (lol). I wrote earlier that it is in any case the fault of the management who decided to change the head coach at the decisive moment of the season. Now I'm wondering - if Bavaria loses the Bundesliga as well, will Tuchel have another season to prove himself or will they again look for a new "wizard" (I think they themselves do not understand what they want).
First of all,things are not looking well for Thomas tuchel looking at his current statistics since he was hired  and if he continues with this current statistics they will definitely relieve him of his duty despite the reputation he has built for himself. Am just surprise how Mainz were able to overturn the one goal lead that Bayern Munich had to turn the tide to their favour by scoring a mouth watering three goals making the 3-1 in favor of favor Mainz.

FTX issue brought skepticism to cryptocurrency aside from those who doubted it before, Some people who are into crypto  or just started will likely be skeptical about it now. But we all know there would be a bounce back and when that happens, People will trust cryptocurrency more.
For sure the Fxt problem caused shock wave and skepticism more for folk that were already being doubtful cryptocurrency to add to the skepticism, the whole year of 2022 was a totally bad year for crypto and it replicated badly and throughout of the year 2022 young and new investors were also been skeptical about the drastic fall of bitcoin to as low as 16k which spooked a lot of people that are coming into the crypto space.
