221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does gambling excites you ? on: April 16, 2024, 10:50:59 PM
If am excited by gambling, well, that depends on if am winning. When my prediction does play out, it’s not just about the win but, it comes with some pride and confidence in my predictions as well. When I loss, I just learn to accept it to be what could have been all along.

Don't get me wrong, I want to win when I play, everyone does. It's just not a big problem for me when I don't win and lose many of my bets. And that is so not because I'm rich(actually far from that), but because I'm trying to stake not more than I can afford to lose. Regarding 90%, I told you, I think it's more like 100%, but the vast majority of those people still gamble for fun, not to earn money from gambling.
That’s how you get yourself into a more winning mindset when you gamble. You first, having to learn to accept the possibility of a loss and you just might not be scared to go in some daring predictions and wouldn’t border much about looking up prediction sites. I think those who do this are those that can’t really accept loosing but in gambling, loosing is more likely than wins.
222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 16, 2024, 10:17:22 PM
I would consider hiding to gamble to be more probable when it is an illegal practice (illegal gambling) but, when gamblers do gamble in hiding just because, they are more concerned about people’s validation, I just feel you shouldn’t be gambling, you ain’t matured enough to gamble. Gambling is only for the truly matured persons.

I get it that society and even religion have some stands about this to have prompt this behavior and even someone with a history of gambling loses might want to gamble in hiding but, it all goes down to, not being self sufficient and decisive and as such, you don’t have a place in gambling.

Everton is an average or less of average team that anyone can trash and I don't think the performance is enough to justify Chelsea to beat Manchester City. They might have played well when they met in the Premier League but this is FA Cup we are taking about here, it's going to be a battle of the bad land, expect Manchester City to drag them to floor this time around because they need the treble again.
Everton might be an average team but, they don’t often make an easy to beat team. Chelsea might have got the best of them yesterday but, that’s as far as it gets and I don’t think it makes Chelsea probable enough to match Manchester City’s quality. Let’s not soon forget how inconsistent Chelsea have been, winning a game and they going about to loss or draw several others. Also, playing the FA cup presents a different kind of challenge which I don’t think Chelsea is well equipped for except, they would be hoping on fatigue to get the better of Manchester.
I hope to see Chelsea being more attacking in that fixture else, Manchester City would run them down the hill.

No, I don't think so. Barcelona is trying to play with the same way, Xavi only changed some players to deal with losing 1 defender. There was nothing wrong with the decision made by Xavi. But Luis Enrique knows well Barcelona game, he ordered his players to focus more on attacking. Unfortunately, losing 1 player made it very difficult for Barcelona. That condition made Barcelona players panic and no idea to avoid the conceded goals.
It’s what any manager would do when you’re at disadvantage, playing from a loosing side and on aggregate, you’re just a leg out of the UCL. You go for the attack, be more offensive and see how it plays out. The best thing to have happened to PSG tonight was that, Barcelona sustained an early red card, at least from the first half to reduce Barcelona to a 10 man side. A team already on the offensive is sure to make good use of that and PSG did.

Dortmund makes history for themselves, kicking Atletico Madrid from a historical spot of semi finals. It was a thrilling one for Dortmund, getting ahead with two goals only to be caught from an own goal and a Corea goal but, when you’ve got so much fire power on your side like Dortmund, you’ve just got to keep trying and go for the win. 2 goals in 2 minutes sealed it for them.

Cole Palmer scored a hat trick and now Nicolas Jackson also added to the lead by scoring 1 goal. So currently Chelsea is leading 4-0. This was truly a very surprising match but in a positive way. Because I'm sure many people are betting on Chelsea in this match.
This is one game where Chelsea seems to be getting everything right. One thing to have helped them so far is the fact that, they are ready to go forward, being more offensive and the back line keeps their offside flanks in check. One thing they’ve not been so good at though is avoiding set piece. They’ve conceived far too many corners and from the looks of it, it comes with lots of danger as the Everton side happens to be at the end of most of it and have been very aggressively crowded around the goalkeeper.
It seems like a 3points for sure for the  Pochettino side but, it’s the second half and Everton isn’t a side that should be underestimated. They seem to be taking so many yellow cards though, that would influence their play somehow.

Making Salah the captain instead of Haaland has caused me to go down to the 5th place. From now on I don't think that I have any chance to become the champion. Developing the right strategy is going to be very important on last 5 game weeks. I think that especially double game weeks and boosts are going to be decisive.
At this point, am just looking at for a best means to let loose Salah although, my hunch tells me he could have something cooking in the few weeks after a terrible return but, perhaps after the DG. Salah has been performing way below average and I had the foresight about this to have released him of my captaincy and picked Cole Palmer. At the moment, he seems to be the magic for the GW haven’t scored a hat trick against Everton within the first half of the game. Am so thrilled with my choices this GW but, not without a couple of bad options in Son, Gabriel and Peps continued selection on resting Foden. It’s a good week nonetheless.
227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: BC.Game 🦁 Fantasy Premier League Pool ⚽ Discussion Thread on: April 13, 2024, 07:38:19 PM

Call me antiFPL but I don't always believe that the best point earners are the best players -- Haaland's the best finisher in the world on stats, but I would never have him on my team (if I count cost, and sustainability, he is a player you need to prop up with a team, rather than a piece of a puzzle).

Haaland since december:

- 6 goals against Luton
- 6 goals against other teams.

Nothing more to say.
I see this stats for Haaland and I could take a pipe at last season, how he was a best pick, talk of the season and some ratings with other stars in the likes of Ronaldo. I do hope he becomes consistent because this is far from it although, he some worth paid off today for those who had the asset on their team, a goal and an assist, a good week for Haaland. I had him off my team though and is still to see some major impact from Salah which have prompted that move.

Isak seems so in form lately, his been making the rounds for his team and it’s a good one having 2 goals from him today. Somehow, Pep would be Pep in not letting us make the most from Foden. Spurs assets were just a waste in this GW.

Manchester United's game was less exciting and in this match Bournemouth appeared cooler than Manchester United.
I don’t know what you would have been expecting from Manchester United, they’ve always been a bad team with a bad performance and coming to the vitality to create anything spectacular is very much far from the picture. What they are getting is what they would have hoped for as a best option, a draw. I think the only time  Manchester United could try making something happen is when they play Chelsea which happens to be another bad team with the lack of consistency in the team and  Pochettino could do almost nothing to offset that.

Manchester City did themselves a great deal today, beating Luton town in a 5:1 goals. That gives them some goal differentials to measure up with Arsenal that would need to win at all cost come Sunday and Aston Villa is sure to make it worth a 90minutes play.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 13, 2024, 02:45:32 PM
Spurs had one of their worst defeat today since Ange Postecoglou took over management of the club. Nothing Spurs tried seemed to work and Postecoglou made some terrible substitute options. I mean, why taking Son and Maddison off? I get it with him having to bring on Johnson and Kulusevski but, rather than take out Son, these guys needed to be on field to find a rhythm and attempt a come back. It was so tiring to watch Spurs going on the offensive and each time, Newcastle wins the 50:50 ball challenge.
The Spurs defense was another place of error in the game, being caught off guard every time, leaving Vicario exposed and Newcastle United made good use of every one on one or free header advantage to count on goals. Spurs was just off today.

Gambling as a pitfall trap
We all know how easy it is to get a habit out of gambling, that excessive dopamine would just make you going back for more untill your well out of control, the byproduct of gambling Is clearly a financial wreak and the idea of easy money or double your cash seems can lure even the most discipline into blindness and eventually a gambling addiction that would lead to indebtedness from chasing losses. 
I think one of my earliest signs that could have got me trapped in gambling addiction and losses from a time I no longer recall accurately was the fact that, I approached gambling then with a mindset of making profit off it. I mean, I had heard the stories, success stories from few forks and decided to dip my hands in the purse and when I was met with few losses, i began chasing my losses and the. More losses until I realized, it’s not a game where I can win.

This called for a more different approach and you must be strong willed to persist in this industry. To this day I still gamble and I don’t see it for any thing bad or some place to be wreaked but, your will power and approach to the industry it what makes the difference. You don’t go about crossing lines that shouldn’t be crossed or play with the intention of winning over the house, that’s one means to lose.

Approach it with a free spirit and gamble with concrete awareness of your finance so you stick to plan.

Quote
How can one draw a line between having fun and getting addicted since they occurr in the same process?
I think everyone of us in this industry have got feelings. I’ll always say, when you feel the slight discomfort about what you’re doing, there you draw your limit and call it a day. Let’s your feelings or emotions about the activity tell you it’s time and you do good to follow it.

For those of you out there who are planning on buying more coins
like me when the market dips, have you guys set a target price where
you will buy?
It’s not a bad plan to have a target price to initiate a buy but, even in the event that there is a target price without an order being placed in the market to initiate a buy automatically at a predetermined price, most investors always have the mirage that price would dip even more when a target price is already reached , this leads to procrastination and eventually, you don’t get to buy.

This is where the DCA strategy comes in, a non respecter of any price but rather, a qualifier of what you e hit for a spare investment fund.

The price has not yet reached what is ideally the price I would want to
buy bitcoin in despite its recent decline and I am wondering if will
bitcoin still go down to at least $50k?
Should you be waiting on Bitcoin to dip at $50k, then you just might not be ready to buy Bitcoin in recent time or at all. I don’t see Bitcoin coming down to that price range any time soon. Best thing for you is to DCA otherwise, you would be missing a buy opportunity with a good price where you have it.
232  Economy / Speculation / Re: Fulfill your dreams from Bitcoin, on: April 13, 2024, 11:08:09 AM
I am very happy to fulfill my dream from Bitcoin. I will hold my current bitcoin holdings for the long term and I will continue to hold on a regular weekly or monthly basis using the DCA method. Everyone pray for me, that I can grow big like this and fulfill my dreams with Bitcoin like this, Thanks you...
It’s important to note that you didn’t have to withdraw all your hodlings as that would be a huge error on your part, even at the expense of fulfilling your dreams. Having to continue your hodling while fulfilling some of your cravings which would in turn serve other purposes to benefit you is one means to know how well you’re doing. There is always room for enjoyment of profit right, else, what’s the need of ever investing if you ain’t going to feel the impact of the time and resources put into an investment from time to time.

Looking at the images you’ve uploaded, seems like a gaming PC up there and it’s cool. Having those high speed processing:processor PCs. It might seem like a lot and it is a lot as you would find later use for it as time progresses. Good choice!
233  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC Sentiment Poll for April on: April 13, 2024, 10:59:55 AM
We had a minor correction again, as there could be negative news that pull down the price to $67k. But yeah, maybe $75k is possible as we will have the halving in the next couple of days and this could be the last leg for investors who wants to buy at the current price of below $70k. So it's going to be very excited days, we should just look at the fundamentals for now, and not complicate things with TA this weekends. And usually Sat-Sun is a slow phase, volume is not the big as everyone could be just settling down and waiting for the block halving to happen.
Without any statistics to prove, I generally had the notion that Bitcoin would have done some more price than the $70-71k mark it’s been fluctuating about for a high but, it’s becoming more and more evident that this isn’t going to come into play before the halving and even immediately after it, I don’t expect Bitcoin to surge up. Though, sentiments might come into play as investors would be expecting a pump in price which could be a market mover, driving investors to place more buys. My expectations would be that, it would take sometime before these movements starts playing out and I don’t hope to see Bitcoin at $75k before the halving, I find this unlikely to happen.

GW 32 winner is Rruchi man, congratulations, 1 mBTC free bet coming your way.
Hey Trofo, I received the free bet, but it disappeared just before I could use it.

 Please look into it.
Oh man, don’t tell me you let it waste away without taking a bet on it. You would be the first man to have done that in recent time. All that 84 points can’t be for nothing really.
Them free bets are usually credited on mondays and comes with an expiry date hence, your expected to take a bet, it doesn’t matter when the game is to be played but the bet has to be made before the expiry date and you’ll be good.

Having it credited and it disappeared wouldn’t be far from that but, I guess Trofo still has to clear things on how you’re missing your free bet after having such a good week.
In between, congrats!

People are asking several questions on whether Arsenal will be able to defeat Bayern at Bayern's home,but I know what Arsenal are made of now.It is going to be a tough match,but I see Arsenal coming out to be the Winner of that encounter.One thing I've loved about this Arsenal team is that,when it seems you've lost faith in them,is when they will turn out to surprise you,and win well.
I trust in Arteta,the squad,the tactics and the way Arsenal are composed these days when facing big teams.It is a win win for Arsenal,and I'm optimistic about that.
I literally had this talk with a few friends today. If Arsenal could be able to beat Bayern Munich at home, haven’t lost that chance to make good use of their home advantage especially, with the absence of fans support for Bayern Munich but still ended up drawing with Bayern. Like, I saw the enthusiastic nature of the Arteta side, the eagerness to end the game in a win but, they already let Bayern get ahead of them and coming back from behind to take the lead against such a team and even with a few formal EPL league players on the team wasn’t going to come without some serious challenge.

It’s going to be a really tough challenge for Arsenal and Arteta who has little managerial knowledge in the EPL but, I think his squad is good enough to see Bayern out.
238  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 11, 2024, 11:05:52 PM
First of all I will like to define hobby in my own understanding. Something that one like to do always either for pleasure, leisure or entertainment.
I think this remains an acceptable definition for the term, hobby.
Though, when one finds himself having gambling for a hobby, you might find yourself being an addictive gambler. That’s because, hobby comes with a key phrase which is “something one does likes to do often” and when someone likes to gamble often, that is an addicted gambler.
With addiction being something that should be avoided by any gambler as it relates the field, gambling can’t be something you do as a hobby. It just wouldn’t suit very much, you’ve got to step it down.

The games ended differently from yesterday's game, the yesterday's games ended in a draw, but there were winners in this games. Athletico's victory would have been lost because Dortmund became charged up after the last goal from the Ivorian striker who came on as a substitute. It was a goal worthy to be called a goal from a striker because it well struck. In the second leg, the coach should really consider starting him because he can increase their chances to score.

Barcelona won in France, they will welcome the french club to Spain and have the upper hand still.
So many turns yo yesterday’s game between PSG and Barcelona. Coming from behind to take the lead just when you was getting comfortable. Barcelona came out strong and started the scoring but soon after, PSG found a way to equalize and even took the lead, thanks to the ingenuity of Ousmane Dembélé, the formal Barcelona player just minutes in the second half and not far from that time, PSG had a second goal. I really thought it was up for Barcelona but no, they got right back into the game, scored an equalizer and even had their win by 3 goals to 2. That was surprising! While yesterday’s games produced 2 draws, today’s games produced 2 wins to the Spanish side.
240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 09, 2024, 09:04:43 PM
Yes, that's impressive even though it's a bit annoying for me, it should have been Real Madrid 2 - 3 Manchester City until the end of the match, currently the score is Real Madrid 3 - 3 Manchester City,
Yeah, it was a little disappointing for me when I saw that score line Real Madrid 2:3 Manchester City. I know Manchester City have got the form to have that kind of effect on a game but, not with this poor form and against a team like Real Madrid while playing from a home side in a pride UCL. A draw seems like a fair outcome for such fixture but, I really wanted to see the progress of Real Madrid in this round.

Arsenal had a good game but, they could have won none the less. Didn’t see nothing in Saka’s final penalty appeal, it seemed obvious at first but, Saka went for the contact and not Neuer as it would have been some inevitable penalty. That’s some experience from the old time best in the world. His still got it.
