Full defensive is very good tactical for FC Porto on second leg match against Arsenal, get capital winning over one goal and draw result on second leg match more enough for FC Porto qualifying to quarter final although Arsenal's advantage with playing in their home. I think will make frustrated with the opponent team when FC Porto make full defensive strategies on second leg match.
I think FC Porto can take advantage with counter attack with Arsenal will play more offensive make space with their defense position, be careful for Mikel Arteta if Porto will play more defensive and Arsenal payer get frustrated how difficult scoring goals make their defense players will leave their position.
I don't think it will be a very good plan if FC Porto is going to play more of defense in the returning leg again Arsenal at Emirate Stadium, the one goal victory that Porto got is not enough to see them progress to rhe next round this is because Arsenal will come all out with a lot of pressure to see if they can get an early goal then they will push attack but once they find it difficult to score they will fall back ro defend the one goal they have while they keep pushing to ensure they get a winner goal  even they it won't be an easy game for them.
Yeah, I agree; now in second leg they could be on advantage, and they need to be aggressive because if they will go for the defensive strategy then surely things can go against them, and they can lose their game with also can eliminate as well because in first leg they are already winner, and they need to be positive for the win or draw which will give them good chance but if having strategy just for the defense then surely things can go against them, and they could be on back foot with Arsenal having good attack and while playing at home they could be much better and confident for the big win which will allow them to have spot into round of 8.

I really do think this match against Bournemouth will be a very easy game for them unlike the previous two matches that they struggled to get a positive results from, the last meeting between them both, man city came out victorious with a 6-1 thumping at the Etihad, and I still believe that they will still be victorious unless they put in a shocker of a performance.

As it's stance now, this man city team cannot afford any more slip up due to the fact that arsenal are just breathing down their neck and they can't just allow the gap between them and Liverpool who are the league leaders to widen, so it's a must win game for them which I believe they will.
Obviously they should have an easy game, but the previous games were quite easy for them as well and yet they had some troubles her eand there. I am sensing that we are going to end up with something that will take a while, so it is not going to be all that easy. We should consider what could be done and we need to end up with a much better result.

Manchester City is not a team that should have trouble with these level clubs, and the ywill get an easy win. I know that it may look like they are having a small rough period, but it was temporary and I bet that they will win. I am not saying that I bet in a way that it's just talk, I mean like I already wagered for that game and I am certain that they are going to win, if not, I will be losing money.

she probably just wants a small little gift thats more suited for the theme of valentine not necessarily a thing about money or something expensive.
remember that when giving gift you should match the theme, giving money is simply ridiculous not to mention its just a small sum.
can't blame her entirely though, at valentine being given out some money probably the last think she would think would be happening.
if you more sensible, you could be giving gift that actually are priced less than $50 and save up some money for later. but thats just my 2 cents alright.
There are person who are like that who value the moment more, more than the money but isn't it great? It means we can save more money on them, not only time though because we need to make an effort to make the things that they like happen but that still has a benefit and it can give us a good feeling.

It's important to save money for our selves so that we will have a better future, not only for us but also to our future partners and that person may not be the person who we are dating now this valentines. This is why it's important to be careful on who we are spending our money with because we don't know maybe they are only using us?

New Zealand off to a flying start scoring 131 runs in 13 overs at a loss of 1 wicket. Pre-match odds were completely in favour of Australia, sitting at around 1.53x as Australia are playing with their first team. Now the odds suggest 1.53x for NZ.  NZ could score over 230 runs since they've barely lost any wickets and could accelerate and score 100 runs in the remaining 7.

New Zealand seemed to dominate the match in the first innings but the Australian team were equally better and were risen to the occasion to get a perfect start to the T20 series. Although the Australian team won by 6 wickets but the match was more close that then final scorecard suggests.



NZ vs AUS 1st T20 Reactions: Mitch Marsh 72 (44) & Tim David 31 (10) seals thrilling win for Australia

The reactions from the crowd was of course disappointment for the New Zealand fans as this match was played in Wellington, New Zealand and people expected from the host team to start of the series with a win. Devon Conway scored 63 runs and Rachin Ravindra scored 68 runs and both of these players batted at a good rate. Australian bowlers were not able to extract anything out of the wicket. Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh took one wicket each but they gave away way too many runs. The same story we see in the New Zealand innings. However here the captain Mitchell Marsh scored 72 runs but he was supported by some quick shorts runs made by Travis Head, David Warner and other players. The match went down to the last overs and when you know the batting team has to score the 15 runs in last over, you reckon that the batting team (Australia) will face some difficulties in this finish. However, a poor display of bowling from the New Zealand made them lose this first match. They will have regain their confidence and come back even stronger in the next match.  
This is really one of the most entertaining match in recent times we have two quality teams of the T20i format hit each other blindly and at the end we have better team as winner which is surely not other than any Australia after conceding 216 runs they have done amazing job and steal the victory from the Kiwis which was doing good job, but sadly they concede 35 runs in last two overs and lost first game of the series with Aussies captain Mitchel Marsh lead from the form and have all round performance which is surely another impressive work by them in presence of Pat Cummins with this we have no doubt Tim David is one of the best finisher of the game who done this all within just 10 balls is one of the best from him.
225  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: February 21, 2024, 03:22:23 PM
If it's something you can 'control' for years, then I don't think it's something you can call a problem in the first place.
That's exactly what I was thinking. A problem is something that exists because you can't control or solve it, if you can control something for years, it might mean that it isn't something that can cause issues, or even if it's a troublesome thing, it isn't permanent and things that can be controlled for long periods can easily be solved in my opinion. If I can control an urge for years, I can easily leave it without much hesitation.

If we are talking about sudden urges that occur when we are gambling and lose some money and then we snap out of our actual mindset and think of trying and recovering what we've lost, we might think we won't go long and stop when it's getting out of hand but then lose control, it is a problem but it's not something that sticks with you if you don't often do that.

Manchester United have fallen out of the title race, but it is not too late to finish in the top four. Manchester United must rely on themselves in the remaining matches this season, they must maintain their performance to collect the full points up for grabs in each match. Their opportunity to get into the top four is very open, currently they are only three points behind Tottenham who are in fifth place and five points from Aston Villa who are in fourth place. Ten Hag, who has just found the best form of play for his team, will try to take advantage of the opportunities that are in front of him. It will not be difficult for Manchester United to overtake Tottenham and Aston Villa if they manage to achieve consecutive wins in the remaining matches this season.
No doubt title race is already ended for them long time, but now their recent performance is giving them chance for the fight hard to stay in hunt for the fourth spot even this is also not easy but still possible because Premier League is surely one of the most exciting and competitive league which can bring changes and also surprises few weeks back mostly were feeling Manchester United is having not fair chance for the fourth spot but now suddenly they change all momentum and put pressure on Aston Villa and Tottenham which are leading but also having no consistency which can bring surprise for them in coming weeks so from here now peoples are talking about them with can they do again or this time we are going to lose them for the top four.

Investing in cryptocurrencies can be done at any time if one has the ability to accept the risk. The first condition of investing is to accept risk and hold for a long time. Present time is the right time to invest If you want to invest, then you can choose Bitcoin because Bitcoin has been in the market for a long time with reliability. That's why I recommend investing in Bitcoin. Bitcoin investment is definitely more profitable.
Also if one has a money although there are still ways online to earn a free crypto. To make investing much better, we can also invest at the bear or whenever the price of the coin experience a decline. There are cryptos that are low risk and we can even lower the risk if we keep on stacking more knowledge and put practice on adopting what we have learn, so I am sure there will always be people who will have the courage to invest here. Investing for a long time is also safer if we invest in a proven coin but it's only optional, as investing is also for short and mid term. If one something wants more quicker, we also have trading here apart from investing.

Afghanistan failed to win in second T20 match against Sri Lanka, setting an imposing target of 188 runs. Sri Lanka displayed excellent batting and controlled bowling by Winning 72 runs and getting triumph in this T20 series. Afghanistan's conflicting exhibition All out in just 115 runs. I think credit to the Sri Lanka Cricket team for their impressive performance winning two matches in the T20 series.
Afghanistan seems to be struggling, and it's mostly their own doing. Their performance has been quite disappointing, especially considering we fans were hoping for better cricket from them in this format. Just a month ago, they played much better cricket in India, but their performance in Sri Lanka has been lacking. Overall, their performance in the tournament has been very poor, indicating a lack of confidence, skills, and temperament. T20 World Cup approaching, it makes us wonder what to expect from this Afghan side.
Afghanistan were doing good in ODI and T20I which is surely good but after ODI World Cup things gone into wrong way which is now hurting them specially their players love to play franchise instead of playing for the national team which is also problem for them recently we have few bad news from their board and players conflict which is surely going to have bad impact on their future as well because if they are not able to settle things with mutual understanding surely this could be dilemma for their cricket.

In this last series, there were too many expectations from them but sadly all gone down, and they are facing worst defeats, hopefully they will learn from these and try to improve things in coming matches otherwise they could be also down like we have Zimbabwe and Bangladesh after having test debut.

Do you think Bitcoin has gone against Satoshi Nakamoto’s original intentions and embarked on a non-decentralized path?
Not necessarily gone but with some intervention from other sector people who wanted to control bitcoin, somehow they wanna manage it or regulate it. However since no one can stop this, the big answer is still no. Yes on trading there are some who are buying and selling it as investment purposes but the users can able to use bitcoin freely within decentralized space as long as they want. I doubt this will be centralized or handle even in years as Satoshi makes sure of that.
Yeah, everything that is created by humans tends to evolve, and cryptocurrency projects are no exception. So it's true that Bitcoin has changed and it isn't how it was when it was created or launched by Satoshi, however, I don't think that we can question its decentralized nature because no matter what, Bitcoin is still completely decentralized and I see no way for it to become non-decentralized or centralized as to say.

Satoshi said himself that a decade from now, when he launched Bitcoin, there will either be no transaction or a lot of transactions, and by this, he meant that it will either become too famous or abandoned by everyone, and his prediction became true, people adopted Bitcoin and it has evolved to become what it is now.

If don't have money to pay your mortgage or car lease ?
Can you Simple bring keys to the bank ?
I mean you got to estimate your case If you know you gona fail anyways dont pay them nothing just enjoy the the money while you have it.
Do you know any one who returned keys just back?
There is a legal procedure in that and you can't just go to the bank, return the keys, get a thank you in return, and get out of there. If the things you are returning are of less value than they initially were when you got them, you will need to pay the money that you owe to the bank and if you refuse to do that, expect the cops to visit you because they will report you for your behaviour and the debt that you are refusing to pay.

So, one should only take a home or car loan when they know they can pay the loan along with the interest set by the bank because if you fail to do that in the future, you might have to face legal consequences for that.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: February 19, 2024, 08:12:01 PM
Another reason behind the shift of cricketers to the T20 format is that most of the county leagues in the T20 format include Big Bash, IPL, PSL, BPL, Caribbean League, SA_20, and dozens of other leagues, resulting in a constant demand for players in the T20 format. That is why most of the players retire from ODI format and Test format but do not retire easily from T20 format.
Yeah that can be one of the reason but not many T20 players can play test cricket. Test cricket needs a lot of patience, stamina and skills. The same can be talked for 50 over cricket, whereas in T20 it is a matter of few overs. When players retire they continue to play T20 as it doesn't need them to be on ground a full day. They only need to be on the ground for a few hours which their bodies can adapt to easily.
No one having doubt about beauty of the test format, but recently we have good changes with the help of T20I and bazball bring significant changes and its beauty is going to be at his best even many are feeling it is not real cricket but no one can stop these changes and these were needed as well now aggression and politeness both are doing good job, and we have good entertaining stuff like we have in third test match of India vs England series hopefully youths will be delivered like we have from Jaiswal and Gill will be also having good performance in coming matches, but they need to be in touch because skipping this format is surely not good deal for all fans and cricketers need to be had good things in this game after very long bore era IPL bring historic changes and things are now at new level.

Chelsea's front line is quite bad this season, I watched several of Chelsea's matches and it is clear that many opportunities were wasted in vain, but the front line cannot be completely blamed either, overall Chelsea's performance is very bad this season so there are many results. they got bad and in fact I think the entire Chelsea line was not well organized to create a good performance.
The performance against Manchester City last weekend cannot be used as a reference for anything, Chelsea was a little lucky to get a draw at Manchester City's home ground.
In last two years, we have too many problems in Chelsea with things are not setting as they needed even they spend huge funds and now having quality coach but still they are not as par they needed but in last few matches we have some improvement which is indicating they could be at his best in coming weeks with only attack is not problem their defense is also having too many issues as they are conceding too many goals and things are not going which they need for jumping back at the top of the league table.

Here agreed only one match can't be referred as good because this was good luck instead of good performance and with their current level of performance we can expect them to finish into top 8 but still this is not easy because they needed good improvement and if they are able then surely we can expect good from them in coming season as well.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 18, 2024, 07:26:04 PM
Well in Islam, gambling is a no-go because it's seen as unfair and can mess up people's lives with addiction and financial troubles. It goes against the idea of being responsible with money. From a non-religious angle, many worry about the same stuff like getting addicted and the financial downsides. Governments often step in with rules to try and handle these issues right
Unfair? But, it seems they are the ones who is unfair here or biased because they only focused on the negative effects of gambling. Not all are addicted in gambling, so they better allow these gamblers, and if it's only about being responsible with money, there are many things or activities which can make the people to get distracted of doing it.

It can only be crazy to know if they allow those but they can't just ban everything, so they have no choice. We can't put all the blame to them because like you said, the same issue can still happen even in other religions, or it's not about the religion rather but it's about the mindset of the people.
234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: investing a money on: February 18, 2024, 06:40:01 PM
One should prioritize one's own knowledge in investing and choose tokens based on time management. Because undoubtedly no investment related information can be known without thorough research. It is not advisable to invest in any token especially by getting a recommendation from a stranger on the internet. Invest in established coins such as Bitcoin Ethereum and other established altcoins. You start small at first.
If we are newbies yes, our selves first before teaching others because it looks inappropriate if we teach them with wrong information. When investing, we should choose an asset based on our risk tolerance but in general, we should choose the best asset only. You know those teams who have a clean record and then their project also have a good use case.

There must also be a good budget to ensure its development, to get listed on a better exchange, and to have a better marketing. Although once more people invest on them, they still can get enough funds to do all of those. Time management is still needed when investing because we might have other things to do which are also important.
235  Economy / Economics / Re: Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 18, 2024, 05:53:32 PM
To reduce inflation, the total wealth of the country must be increased. In that case, how many steps are needed, such as increasing the amount of remittances in any country, reducing inflation in that country. Also, the amount of defaulted loans should be reduced, currency of the country should be avoided from being smuggled abroad. The country needs to be manufacturing oriented and much more export oriented. Raising the minimum wage will never stop inflation. Raising the minimum wage may benefit some people but is not a permanent solution.
If only that's how easy things works, then great but unfortunately not. The most effective way to not default a loan is to not make a loan. It may be hard at first but there must be a way to make money in another way.

We should try and if ever we can't help but to make a loan, we must be sure that we can pay it on time because there are consequences about it, although if we keep thinking about it, it might motivate us to make enough money before our due dates. Raising the minimum wage is a dream of the workers. It may not totally curb the inflation but it helps the people to survive it better, yet it might also bring a negative impact on the company or the economy of a country.
236  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A student investing in bitcoin? on: February 18, 2024, 06:19:03 AM
people tend to go in with bitcoin with all they have because people say it is secure and jut a pump and dump coin.
Do you understand the meaning of a pump-and-dump coin? A pump-and-dump coin is a cryptocurrency that is pumped for personal gains by the creators and then dumped when they dump all their holdings in the market and those who buy the coins become exit liquidity for creators. So, Bitcoin can be called secure because it is undoubtedly the most secure cryptocurrency in the market, but it cannot be called a pump-and-dump coin because it doesn't fit in that description.

When we talk about going all-in on Bitcoin, it depends on a person's understanding of the market and their trading strategy. Some people might prefer doing DCA and buying Bitcoin in portions for a better average price, however, some tend to like buying with everything they have at a certain price point thinking they can't get a better price than it and they are happy with it.

People's are making millions of dollars by doing free airdrops.. Airdrops are a good opportunity to make good money and start your career in crypto currency.
Join good layer 2 projects. And projects that are legit and have good funding and real strategic partners.. I assure that these type of projects give good money
Good projects don't give out millions of dollars for free to airdrop participants because they know it will not be productive for them. There are certain requirements one needs to complete to become eligible for an airdrop for such good projects and those requirements can't be completed without spending any money, and when you spend money to complete those requirements, you have no guarantee about how many tokens you are going to get.

The free airdrops you are referring to barely give their participants $5 to $10 which is why it's mostly useless joining free airdrops because you need to do a lot of tasks and stuff, promote their project everywhere, and then get pennies as a reward which isn't even worth the efforts you need to make.

It's quite normal that when we start trading, we often experience losses, but don't give up easily because once we become professionals, we no longer need to work hard to earn money, we can just stay at home and make trading our daily routine, but to reach that stage, there's a lot to do. which must be passed through endless lessons and experiences
It's all about patience and dedication. If you have enough patience and you are dedicated to doing what you have decided, you won't give up no matter how difficult the way might be and how many hurdles you might have to face. The destination is always beautiful if you go through all the hardships and hurdles and finally make it, you will feel happy and proud of yourself that you didn't give up and kept going and now it's time for you to enjoy the victory.

Trading is not easy, some might think it is, but it isn't, especially the initial stage where, as you said, one will need to learn the lessons the hard way sometimes because you will make mistakes since you don't have enough knowledge and experience, but you should keep trying and improving yourself, and over time, you will finally become a good trader.

Hello guys, I'm new in the world of cryptocoins, I have the theory, but I lack the practice, I've been analyzing some cryptos, many of which I've read here on the forum. Which do you think are the best before the halving? Im a little lost with all coins there are....
Since, you have posted this in the altcoin section so I suppose you are asking about altcoin. However, I wouldn't recommend investing a lot of money in altcoins if you are relatively new in the market and don't have a lot of knowledge and understanding of the dynamics of the market. If you do invest in altcoins, make sure you choose only a few of the top ones such as ETH, BNB, etc.

Though if we enter the bull market, the current prices are still not a bad deal but it would have been better if you could invest earlier. However, I would recommend that you invest in Bitcoin first, and then do some research about other cryptocurrencies and then decide which ones you think are better. Collect feedback and reviews from everyone.

It was a really unlucky day for Real Betis. It is very sad that they had so many chances to score but could not score any, and as a result they lost the match. This is what football is like, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you cannot achieve success because you are unlucky. In times like these, it is once again seen how much a good striker is needed in the team
Real Betis is currently 6th in La Liga but still their home performance is not good with they won only one game from their last 6 games which are clearly indicating how things are going for them but now in this Conference league their performance is surely not ideal because Zagreb is surely one of the best team in Croatia even they are playing in small league but still have good experience and quality as well, so things could be good for the second leg match which is going to play in Croatia because they will try their best for keeping this lead and having spot into round of the 16 in this league.
