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.

Finally, Enzo is confirmed for Chelsea's managerial role he is a very good manager with such great knowledge and passion for football. Enzo can surely lift the team and build a very strong Chelsea team for a new season of EPL. Lots of best wishes for Enzo and Team Chelsea and their fans
Chelsea fans always hope for the best for Chelsea because the team they love has also replaced its coach very often in the last few seasons. And Chelsea fans certainly really hope that Enzo can bring the Chelsea team to a better position next season with his best efforts because this season Chelsea is also not too bad in terms of getting their position in the final standings of the Premier League. However, the task that Enzo himself will carry out will not be easy enough because he remembers that Chelsea's rivals next season will still be quite strong.
Chelsea needs a reshape of the club and that is why they have gone for Enzo so that he can put back thr club to a good form. I believe that we would see something different from Chelsea nest season and for this reason, Chelsea fans will be having big expectations from him, but they should not be disappointed if they get similar results to that of this season because to fix a club is not a day job.

I hope to see the the revival of Chelsea next season with their new players and coach. This season was not that bad though, but United later pushed them behind to conference cup.

Investing a decent amount is also another way to say invest with an amount you can afford to lose. Even if one is responsible or irresponsible, he/she should know that it's very important to invest with an amount that they can always afford to risk. Everyone has an amount that they can afford to lose, but most people don't know.
I don't know if I'm getting you right but why do i feel that  your perception on Bitcoin investment is for trading because when you advised him to use the only money he can afford to lose, perhaps indirectly you are saying that there is a higher chance for him to lose his money Bitcoin or in other words referring to gambling investment, however in as much as nothing is guaranteed when it comes to investment but with Bitcoin success is certain if you are ready to hold, so actually the risk you are talking about should be actually dependent on the kind of investment you are talking about because if your pattern is for a long term holding I wouldn't use the word risk because it seems that you don't really understand or know the potential of Bitcoin you are investing on.
Any money you invest into bitcoin should come from disposable income.. so by definition it is extra money and/or money that you can afford to lose.

Your bitcoin investment could go to zero, so any money you invest could be lost 100%, and you should be prepared for that possibility with any money you invest into bitcoin.
Of course, every investor should make a decision to invest in Bitcoin based on holistic considerations. Overall consideration here is the possibility of high profit or investment loss. Consideration of disposable income as capital and the expectation of potential profit associated with it certainly helps to consolidate the consistency of each buying. Future determination of hard-earned income and the decision to hoard Bitcoin is definitely going to be positive as the system has often cheated one following the historical footsteps of the local currency investment journey.
An investment decision with potential returns like Bitcoin and its past price history is certainly a beacon of hope for small investors like us. Although you always say it can be high and it can also go to zero. Your whereabouts must be reasonable because none of us are sure where its value will go. But I think behind the negative attitude we must keep the positive influence which can encourage us to accumulate more Bitcoins. Long-term trends in holding and holding during bullish and overbought each dips.

Your whole post is a bit weird and unclear laijsica, yet it may be worth clarifying that one of the reasons that any of us might consider the possibility that bitcoin could go to zero or to have some kind of a negative rather than a positive performance outcome is so that we temper our investment amount in order to account for those kinds of considerations.

Sure the most aggressive of bitcoin investors might shoot to come closed to investing 100% of their disposable income into bitcoin, and surely there is value in being aggressive, yet at the same time, if they are investing close to 100% of their disposable income into bitcoin for long periods of time, they are likely going to be putting unnecessary and undue stress upon their finances and their psychology, especially since bitcoin is an asymmetric bet to the upside in which investors can lose up to 100% of what they put in, but there are also various great upside scenarios, so even relatively whimpy investors might well end up finding themselves to have had profited quite fantastically from their having had decided to p;ut some level of their disposable income into bitcoin (even if it was a relatively whimpy amount in the 1% to 5% territories.

None of us can decide the balance level for the investment levels of anyone else, so there can be ways to take a reasonably balanced or a somewhat aggressively leaning investment approach to bitcoin, and still maintaining a fair amount of balance and/or enjoyment in life because there is some value to spending some money while you are young rather than completely deferring gratification and neglecting your own psychological and/or social well-being that might sometimes be better off by spending some money while you live rather than completely deferring gratification based on choosing to invest on the high side of aggressiveness into bitcoin.

It is going to be risky for Bitcoin investors to invest 100% of their disposable income or accumulate aggressively, which may later negatively affect the investment for the duration of that emergency. I think I got the gist of what you said. If 10% or 20% of disposable income can be considered for investment, then the rest of the Floating Cash can be reserved for emergency needs and the amount of float should be such that the daily needs of the family can be met for 6 months or more. This arrangement is definitely going to be positive for long-term investment in the future as the amount of cash depends on increasing your Bitcoin stash and holding it for a long time.

There is nothing wrong or risky for an investor investing 100% of  his disposable or investing aggressively in to his Bitcoin investment, the idea of investing your disposable income has to do with a presumption that you have taken care of  what you might have consider to be a basic needs  with a provisional emergency funds inclusive which is very paramount towards your investment. However, before an investor must have been investing any where close to 100% of his disposable he must have been cutting down expenses such as not riding an extensive car, or not living in a more luxurious house, going on vacations so on and so forth for the purpose of increasing his disposable income as well as his reserved and float to enable him become aggressive in his accumulation without over doing it such that it will not affects his living expenses negatively.

Accumulating bitcoin in an aggressive way will determine on the size of your emergency funds. If the size of your emergency funds is up to 6 months size, you can buy bitcoin aggressively than someone whose emergency funds is 3 months. Reserve funds can be used to buy a new car or car repairs and vacations, so that your emergency funds will not be touched and floats can be used for going out to dinner or eat in a good restaurant.

The probem here isn't that gold or silver isnt a good asset and if its about track record gold has been a very good option for a very long time even longer than bitcoin, but where you are getting it wrong is thinking of diversifying, the question you should ask yourself is can I afford to build a good stash in both asset, then if not you should focus one building up your stash in bitcoin and when it's has gotten to at least a year of your living expense then you can consider diversification.

The problem with early diversification is that you would end up having little of so many asset neglecting the law of concentration which means you gain wealth from building one asset and maintain it from diversifying, so diversification is not a good option for someone trying to build wealth.

It's true, building wealth won't come quickly, it takes time and a process to get there. I think whatever type we will invest. However, when something easier and quicker comes along, I think why should I use another option. Yes, BTC really provides an opportunity to go there as an investment tool, whether you want to invest at the same time or use the DCA purchase method as many people are currently implementing.

The easiest opportunity to invest is investing in DCA method, if you invest in DCA method you will be successful very quickly. Because the DCA method controls the average price of buying bitcoins, due to which each person can accumulate this investment for a long time and it is present to give the most benefits. The DCA method is a great plan to build a mountain of wealth with little by little. As the saying goes (a small grain of sand is a water drop, a continent rises from the bottom of the ocean) because if you keep accumulating small amounts of money, you can eventually build a mountain of great wealth. That is why DCA method is currently the best method among all investors.


In as much as the dca strategy has numerous benefits there is no reason one should or trying make any form of comparison with other strategy as per which is the best method among all investor, every investor will only make that informed decisions of choice of strategy or strategies to be used in his accumulation process to suits him in terms of his, financial situation, risk tolerance level, investment goals and objectives, which all is aimed at maximizing every opportunities in the market to have a sizeable worth of Bitcoin.

I believe DCA is the best method so far when it comes to building your bitcoin portfolio from the scratch as a new bitcoin investor, because you will be consistent in accumulating bitcoin every week or monthly without skipping any of the wee. Before you know it in four years time, your portfolio will have increased to an amount that you would have not being able to have to buy bitcoin once. DCA method is also flexible and stress free because you buy bitcoin with your discretionary income which you don't feel it as anything being deducted from your monthly income, and you can also buy bitcoin at various prices at the dip and at the bull giving your the opportunity to calculate your 200WMA.

Lump sum will not give you the size of portfolio that someone that used DCA to buy will give to you in they hodli for the same number of years. This is because lump suming is a fixed price purchase, and buying at the dip is something a beginner don't even need because it is the worst strategy for them, it is hard to know when the price will dip and they will keep waiting and end up waiting wretched till old age because bitcoin price increases overtime.

Bitcoin is a commodity and buying and selling keeps the market going. Everyone have their reasons of buying bitcoin and everyone is also free to do whatever that they want with their bitcoin, because we cannot hodli till infinity. I am not investing and keep all for my kids, but I will also enjoy from the fruit of my labour and that is why selling is also part of the agenda.

I will sell amd still hodli a higher portion, so I don't see selling as a problem. The most important thing is that I still have more bitcoin in my bags and I accumulate more when I can. Reaching my bitcoin target is my goal and if I reach my goal  what next...shaving of profit from time to time.

Making mistake is a norm, but learning from our mistake is what matters a lot. Whoever makes any mistake and did not learn from it will continue to make same mistake over and over again.

In gambling, I will not accept that we make mistakes in placing our bets because gambling is based on luck. The only mistake that I can say is done regularly is chasing of losses and that is done because such gamblers are gambling for profit, and even if you try to correct them that is not how gamble should be done, they will not listen, until they learn a hard lesson.
226  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 31, 2024, 06:00:26 PM
I discussed the final investment decision directly with my family. People in my family don't know about Bitcoin but when I told them about Bitcoin and explained it to them for a while they got some idea about Bitcoin. I explained them about Bitcoin in such a way that they supported my investment. It's not like I misled my family into investing, I gave my family a real picture of Bitcoin investing which they really liked.  
My family members have assured me that I am planning my future where other children take money from their parents and buy drugs and other bad things with that money. They were happy with my plan and said that they would help me financially or otherwise in terms of investment.  
It is good that you have convinced your family members to invest in Bitcoin but have you told your family that investing involves risk. If you haven't informed them about this, you should discuss it with them and not just Bitcoin investment. I agree if you are willing to invest in Bitcoin, look for money accordingly but you should think before investing and do proper planning and judgment analysis before investing. Many people like you are interested in investing in Bitcoin with the help of their families in the new situation.

It turns out that you have been investing in your bitcoins for months and suddenly the price of bitcoins has dropped, will your family help you continue your bitcoin investment or do you have enough opportunities to invest without their help. Prepare yourself to invest in Bitcoin in such a way that you can continue your investment properly even if there are hundreds of hurdles. Investing in bitcoin requires a lot of patience and long time which will take you to your destination.
Everyone who studies the world of investment must understand that in this world all investments have their own risks. It's just that there are certain levels of risk in each different investment field.

But basically the risks that exist in every investment field can be minimized by developing our knowledge in the field we are going to enter.

Trust me if we invest in property that is said to have low risk. But for us it can be very high risk if we don't understand and study it first before entering it.

For example, if we buy property in a disaster-prone area. Then it's the same as us throwing away our money. Because the price will continue to fall. especially if it is land prone to landslides and so on. Which even the previous owner would have left behind.

But when we understand it properly and study it carefully first. Then we can minimize the risk as small as possible. Because we already know which ones have potential and which ones don't. Which ones are worth entering and which ones are not. Because basically investment is about seeing potential in the future.

So now we apply it in Bitcoin. Indeed, Bitcoin is also an asset that has a high level of volatility because its price fluctuates. And yes, this makes many people say that Bitcoin has a fairly high level of risk. But actually, some things are true and some are not.
Because it depends on how deep one's insight into bitcoin itself. If someone can enter Bitcoin investment at the right time after going through a lot of analysis and he has seen the potential in the future. So he can minimize the risk of loss because he entered at the right time. that is, when there is a decline. And then he plans to get out when the bull market comes.

But for beginners who don't study it in more depth. So they tend to enter without taking into account or without careful investment planning due to limited knowledge. This can make the beginner considered investing with high risk. Because he has entered in a field that he is not good at. So the conclusion is high risk is for those who enter in fields that they do not study. And the risk is low for those who enter a field they have mastered.
Bitcoin investment is not like you think and you don't need to deep knowledge on bitcoin before you can invest and not run at loss. This is because, a new investor who just want to start his bitcoin investment journey is on a long term and when you are investing on a long-term, maybe 4-10yrs, you don't need any deep knowledge, but only the basic knowledge of bitcoin which is how to buy and send to your self custody wallet, precis a cold storage, since you are only accumulating and not selling.

There is no best time to buy for a new beginner in his long term bitcoin accumulation goal because he just started and needs to keep on accumulating bitcoin to his portfolio regularly using DCA method  so that he can reach his bitcoin target overtime. This is why the DCA method is best recommended for beginners because it gives them the opportunity to buy bitcoin always irrespective of bitcoin price. What a new beginner needs to figure out is how much of his discretionary income that he can use to buy bitcoin that he can be consistent with, so that he can continue buying with such amount regularly without stopping, and at the same time build his emergency funds from the other part of his discretionary income because it is very necessary, to become a successful long-term bitcoin hodler. A new beginner can start investing into bitcoin and learn about bitcoin at the same time, because in bitcoin accumulation experience is the best teacher than mere theory. Also the time that he will delay in learning cannot be recovered, that is why those that are just starting should not waste any time but start right away as long as they have the money.

It is impossible to learn everything about bitcoin in just one year so learn is a gradual process, and there is no need to have majority of the knowledge, because as time passes by the price of bitcoin will not remain the same.
227  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Are People Not Interested To Listen To Success Stories Of Bitcoin Investors? on: May 31, 2024, 05:23:14 PM
People have fallen victims to these kinds of things, hence most people are skeptical about people sharing their success stories, especially online.

There are a lot of fake stories about Bitcoin on social media which people have actually read and believed to be true even when they don't know the people who wrote them, it's not totally bad to talk good about yourself and how you have gained in your investment but it becomes totally bad and privacy abusing if you begin to explain the total amount you have made in your investment or the amount you have in your portfolio and your location. Now my question is this, why have people not harmed some notable investors whom I believed have granted a lot of live interviews and explained how they started and how well they have profited in their various businesses why are they still breathing?
They do attack them and it is the one that goes viral that we will hear or see on social medias and on air. I could remember a forum member wrote a thread that a bitcoin trader that flaunts his wealth on social media was attacked and robbed of his funds, but he foolishly came online again to continue his showoff.

The thing is that people don't need to hear of bitcoin success stories anymore for they are seeing the wave that bitcoin is paving as the government are talking about it based on regulation and the rest, all these is enough for people to know that bitcoin is a good investment to invest in and make profit. I think those that tell fake stories of their success in social media are influencers who is advertising an exchange and making it look as if trading is simple. Long-term investors don't tell you about their success in hodling because they don't want anybody to know how rich they are in bitcoin, but lousy traders are the ones making noise even when they are running at loss.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 31, 2024, 03:55:11 PM
There is interesting news about Modric and Real Madrid. While we were expecting to see Modric leave Real Madrid because of not having enough chance in the team during the last season and it was not good for a superstar player like him, but it seems Modric is back in the good form again and he is even close to signing a new contract with Real Madrid to stay in the team for a longer time.
Since Modric is an old player he doesn't expect the team to pay him a huge amount of money but he said he will sign the contract with any price and money is not important for him. This even made Florentino Pérez shocked when Modric said that about the new contract.



I have been reading the news mentioned by someone in the previous pages.

Modrid and Kroos got a contract extension to stay in real madrid for at very least one season. Those players have different decision regarding their future. Modric has decided to stay even longer in the club. Meanwhile, kroos has decided to retire as a professional football player at his peak performance.
Modrid was a very loyal to the club as well as tony kroos. That is saddening me i must see kroos leave from the club.

Im still hoping him to stay for another season but it may not happen following his decision to retire as a legend of real madrid. I really appreciate kroos's decision considering he was taking such decision by his own intention.
Good luck for modric with the next season.

Real madrid considering him as a very good mentor for all of young players. No doubt that real still offered him one yeat contract extension.

Toni Kroos' retirement is a sad moment for all Real Madrid fans but the decision has already been taken so everyone must respect it. It seems that Toni Kroos wants to end his career with a memorable good ending and doesn't want to end his story at another club other than Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Luka Modric still wants to continue playing with Real Madrid, and if you look at the fact that he is willing to be paid whatever it takes, it seems that he is a person who has high principles and loyalty to Real Madrid. He could end up playing in MLS or the Saudi Pro League which could pay him handsomely at the moment, but it seems that is not the path Modric wants to take, at least for now.
Kroos hanging up the boots is hard for any Real fan to accept. But you must respect his decision to win. He won't let himself age and hold the squad behind. A true legend knows when to leave. Plus Modric, the loyal soldier. Refused a shitload of money to stay at Bernabeu. This says all about his club passion. He is a true Real Madrid fan. It'll be sad when he retires, but we must appreciate every minute with him on the pitch. Like Kroos, he deserves a decent sendoff

Real Madrid has a new chapter, and it will be intriguing to watch who fills those huge shoes. Kroos and Modric are legends. They will forever be remembered in Real Madrid
Of course, these two players are Real Madrid legends, and they will be missed by the team. This is what life is all about changes are constant as ten friends cannot play together for ten years. I will say that Modric have stayed long in the club and have played with different players who have left him behind to other clubs. This is time for him to also retire and enjoy his life outside football.

Kroos is a player that needs to leave the club as a kegend so that oldage will not affect his performance in the club which might make him stay more on bench. It is better that he moves to another club we're the competition with youngsters is not much so that he can cope and enjoy football over there with respect.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: May 31, 2024, 03:19:48 PM
Liverpool are expected to strengthen their squad next season. Next season, Liverpool, City and Arsenal will probably fight for the title again. However, if the performance of Chelsea and Manchester United improved, the Premier League would become more competitive. These two teams are far behind.
You have a point Manchester United and Chelsea are far behind compared to how they were few years back. Chelsea have shown some sign of improvement towards the end of the past season and if not because they Sacked Pochettino Chelsea should be able to challenge for the title as well because they have been gaining back confidence and their balance.

Next season the competition might not be as exciting because even if  Arsenal still try to win the title we all know they won’t be able to win it unless Guardiola leaves Manchester City. Manchester City might see less competition because Kloop have left Liverpool and they’d probably lose more players and it might take time for the new coach to adapt to the league and the players.
We should not just conclude on next season and we don't need to use what happened in previous seasons to give final results of what will happen next season. Arsenal last season point gap from Manchester city as not as closed as this season. This shows a good improvement than previous season. So it is likely that next season, Arsenal might win the trophy if they remain consistent.

Chelsea should have not sacked Pocchetino  and they should have given him another opportunity to see if he will revive the club because I saw some improvement on the team towards the end of the season. Chelsea was in a mess last season and two coaches managed Chelsea, so I don't think why they believe that Pocchetino will use one season to fix the club, when he is not a magician but a coach.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 31, 2024, 02:18:15 PM


Osimhen performed well in the 2022–23 season. He was able to score 26 goals and 4 assists in 32 appearances in Serie A. But the Napoli team did not get the expected performance from Osimhen in the last season. Firstly Napoli's overall gameplay was slow and weak. Napoli have not played well this season due to poor match tactics and poor bonding between players. Also Osimhen suffered an injury early in the season. Osimhen's performances have been erratic since his return from injury.

I think the PSG squad is perfect for Osimhen. Ligue 1 is slightly less competitive. Chances of injury are very low here. Also Osimhen will get higher wages from PSG. The Premier League is very competitive. A move to the Premier League would not be a good decision for Osimhen if he has fitness issues.
Not only that, but the overall performance of the Napoli team is quite poor this season, making it difficult for Osimhen to develop.

to PSG or Chelsea, it's the same as long as Osimhen is able to get the main place and the team's performance is good so that he can provide support for Osimhen on the front lines, then I think Osimhen will be able to show his best performance again.

In League One or the Premier League it's not much different, in fact I think that in the Premier League Osimhen's career will improve even more if he performs well.

The bonding between Napoli's players has been poor this season. Moreover, the team's match strategy was not that good. Napoli's performance was not good due to various problems within the team. Osimhen's performance has also deteriorated due to this.

PSG need a worthy replacement for Mbappe. Mbappe had the ability to score a lot of goals. I think Osimhan also has the ability to score a lot of goals if he gets enough support from the midfielders and teammates. Osimhen can be a worthy replacement of Mbappe.

Premier League is definitely better than Ligue 1. But if the fitness is not good, it is difficult to survive in the Premier League. Also PSG coach Luis Enrique is very experienced. Perhaps we will see Osimhen's performance improve further with the help of Luis Enrique. But if Osimhen joins Manchester United or Chelsea, I doubt we will see a better performance from Osimhen. Because these two teams have a lot of internal problems.
It is surprising to see that the defending champions of last season was unable to defend the title, and showed less concern on the league due to a lot of challenges that they faced. A tree cannot make a forest, if the team is weak, every player is weak automatically and that was why we did not see much from Osimhen this season, because he didn't get the full support to bring out his scoring skills.

Personally, I will prefer Osimhen to go to Ligue 1,because he will have a brighter future compare to Chelsea. PSG is known to be the best in France and they have the kind of players that will make Osimhen to become a nonstop goal machine, because he has the skills, capacity and strength to make that happen.

Chelsea will be a nightmare for him because they are average players apart from few of them and they will dull his morale just like Napoli did this season. Imagine a player like Foden is in Chelsea helping them out but if he is in a better club he will win trophies.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I can easily find 3 odds games on casinos but hard to find on sport on: May 31, 2024, 09:14:10 AM
I thought before that sport is better because I can analyze market but I did not know that I was deceiving myself with the analyses.
I will say that both casino and sportbet are the same when it comes to losing because it is still gambling. Whatever kind of game that you gamble with, losses is more than wins. However, I will say that your luck of winning is more in casino games than sportbet, and that is what you are thinking.

But let me put it up to you that it is the same. You said that since you started playing casino games, you were controlling your losses, by gambling with little amount and also spending little time in casino games. You also have a gamble budget that made you discipline enough to stop when it is exhausted, and you are happy with your little win. It is the opposite when you were gambling in bookie sites. You said that you spend a very long time gambling on live internal matches and that makes you to run at more loss, because sometimes you gamble throughout the day.

Bookie sites almost got you addicted or got you addicted, but you could control gambling activities when playing in a casino which is why you can limit your losses. If you can also put this gamble practice in bookie site, you might have similar results.

Joining this forum made me to understand that there a lot going on that one needs to learn. One thing I observed is that you will keep on learning something new everyday here in the forum and that would broaden your knowledge on bitcoin and bitcoin related stuffs. I was a noob when I joined the forum with no hope of investment, but this community made it possible for me to exploit from cryptocurrency through the knowledge that I got here.

I am also more financially buoyant compared to then. This forum has helped a lot of members to plan and have opportunities for other means of income. Most of my friends don't understand a bit in bitcoin, but look at me given the opportunity to invest in a future gold and the latest form of currency with great value. Knowledge is power.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reflections on Responsible Gambling. Insights from the Community on: May 31, 2024, 07:10:07 AM
1.I have managed to start gambling responsible after some years of addiction that I suffered.

2. Underage gambling is not my responsibility to combat because these underage children hide to gamble and they will never let anyone know they are gambling. If it happens that I see any underage talking about gambling or trying to gamble, I do sit them down and enlighten them about the consequences of gambling and that they should face their studies and have a career first before anything.

3. Yea, of course discipline is very important in gambling and that will help you be a responsible gambler and you will not care about your losses or allow your emotions to control you since you are not betting with an amount that you cannot afford to lose. That alone will make you happy and socialize with people freely.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Greediness or Addiction -which one is more disastrous? on: May 30, 2024, 08:19:22 PM
Well, I believe that both Greediness and Gambling Addiction make our lives terrible. I was thinking about which one of the two reasons causes more disastrous in our life both in terms of mental health and finances.

It would be the base of experience or just purely an opinion but for me, Greediness is something that would really make us cripple.
"I want to bet more and more in order to win more. I will sell my properties so I can bet huge. " Greediness mindset keeps on the winning side, not satisfaction.

But addiction is a little disastrous, why? Because they can be satisfied with betting a small amount, at least they can gamble.

However, both can possibly happen in our lives when we can't control our gambling habit anymore. I prefer not the two but in this situation, I prefer to be just addicted rather than be greedy

Gamble Responsibly...

Its all circumstantial and different for every person. I think the addicted gambler who keeps on gambling and gambling for the most part is probably not a winner. They keep gambling so long and for so much money over time hoping that they will eventually hit their big break, but they hold onto their smaller wins and the little cash a little more dearly. A gambler that is greedy is willing to risk it all, so pretty much its either a slow burn compared to an explosion if you zoom all the way out, right ?
Before getting down to addiction, it first has to go through the act of greediness, from that desperate urge to win big, which will affect the amount used to gamble, the number of times the users gambling and even when there is not enough money to gamble the user has no choice other than to find every available measures without considering the risk.  Both factors has rendered many users to pay a difficult price, chasing loses and finally ending financially broke.
First of all, for a gambler to think that he wants to gamble for profit means that he is greedy. This is because he is not gambling for fun but to see how he can take profit from the casino funds, which becomes the bait. A gambler that is greedy will believe that he can use gambling to double his money because he wants to reap from where he did not sow due to laziness.

Addiction is the worst because you have gone beyond control, and it becomes like a plague if you don't realize yourself fast and quit fast because addiction will eat you deep.

hello,,

i made a child for parent transaction on electrum to speed up my accepted offer on ME, and electrum made me overpay to a another new address that i didnt put,, and by alot! + the transaction took around 3 blocks which is also impossible cuz i payed 1000x or more! is there a way to contact the pool or a way to retrieve the extra amount ?

thnx
If the transaction have being confirmed it is impossible for you to get back the extra funds, and it still depends on the amount that you paid as extra. Although, if it is a big amount, it is left for the pool to return it back or not, and it is not compulsory because it is your choice to use a transaction fee that you want.

Are you sure that you overpaid, because if you are using child pay for parent, your transaction fee will be higher than the previous one that you used for the parent transaction, so that it can confirmed the parent transaction fast.

Do you think that Leverkusen's defeat was because they underestimated Atalanta? no friend, this is the final match and anything is possible in the final match. Moreover Leverkusen is not a team that has a strong mentality when playing in the Europa League final match which has a very high mentality so I am not that surprised by what happened and also in every season The Europa League always has big surprises, and again and again this season big surprises have happened and even in the final match.
I watched the UEFA Europa League final game between Atalanta vs Bayer Leverkusen and in my own personal assessment of the game, I think the German club were too confident in that game ahd that cost them the ultimate prize. The Italian team were more determined to win that game while the German Bundesliga champions were playing like a team who's very convinced that they'll definitely win the game and even when they were two goals down, Bayer Leverkusen were still playing like they've got everything under control.
Xabi Alonso have achieved tremendous success this season but could've achieved more if he was very cautious of Atalanta in that final. Ademola Lookman who scored a hat trick in that game was simply unstoppable and that was why he was able to give Leverkusen a good run for their money.

I also watched the match since the match started but indeed, in my view Atalanta managed to have the better morale and mentality.So,  when Atalanta had the ball and attacked, at least I thought Atalanta really had a chance to win until Lookman finally got his first goal. From then on, I saw Bayer Leverkusen seem to lose their motivation and ambition because perhaps, Bayer Leverkusen were under pressure so it was difficult to get a good mood in the final match of the Europa League. At least,that's the view and or judgment that I have, so Bayer Leverkusen really failed because Bayer Leverkusen was also unable to score a goal in that match.
The way Leverkusen expected the match was not how it was for them from the starting till the end, and this was why Leverkusen easily lost focus after Lookman scored the first goal. Leverkusen is used to absorbing pressure even when you are winning them. They will come back in the second half and draw the match or win it.

It was different in the case of Atalanta, because they were playing with pressure and Atalanta didn't give them any opportunity to penetrate their defense making it more frustrating for them. Maybe it is because it was a final match and the players lack the experience of playing in the finals.

It may only be the 3rd competition in Europe but it means a lot to a team like Olympiakos because finally they had just make a history by winning a trophy from a European competition for the first time and i have been watching this match and i have to says the match was boring as both teams played very cautiously because until normal time ended there was no good opportunities to scores from both teams but when entering extra time i have seen a bit change because Olympiakos was taking initiative to playing attacking and the result is El Kaabi can scored the only goal in this match

Normal time result 0-0 is really unexpected for the bettors and i am sure some people have lost their bets because most of us were bets on Fiorentina however Olympiakos journey is very fantastic because previously they are not the favourite because people are more likely to favourited Aston Villa or Fiorentina as the next champion of this competition but in fact Olympiakos even can beat these teams and became an the champion of this season but for Fiorentina they are unlucky because they can advances to the final match two times in a row but Fiorentina have failed to gets the trophy

Olympiakos victory in this final was extraordinary, i think many people chose Fiorentina to win, but in reality Olympiakos managed to beat Fiorentina in the final of the 2023/2024 UEFA Conference league.

Amazingly, Olympiakos made history, becoming the first club from Greece to win this tournament, and i heard that i'm not mistaken, their striker also equaling Messi's record. Surely, this makes Olympiakos even more confident about being able to compete in the European league, or even other clubs from Greece. I'm sure it's possible that in the next few years they will enter or even win the Champions League Trophy.
Atalanta did all the playing but failed to take advantage of their chances, and that resulted to a defeat on them. Olympiakos only chance that they had was properly made used of, and was the only goal that made the difference stopping the match from entering a penalty shootout. A great achievement for them this season and for Greece. This season is all about history. Leverkusen made history, Atalanta made history and now Olympiakos is in the history book of football.

I disagree with you that a club from Greece will come from nowhere and win the champions league, because it is impossible for the champions league favorites to allow that happen. They have not played in Europa league, let them play their first and let's see their performance.

We can lost a bet through our greediness all in the name of increasing the chances for winning bigger amount, in gambling, the higher the risk the higher the winning amount because the odds do increases along side, maybe if we would have settled in for winning small amount and having this continuously or occasionally would be more of advantage to us than aiming big ad having no single opportunity for winning at the end.
Many things can cause a gambler to lose a bet . Of course greed is one of them and in fact I would in this case even tag it as the worst of them all. I have come across cases where a gambler continuously and consecutively hit jackpots for some period of time and instead of them to pause and take a break they continue to stake even to the extent that some of them stake the whole of their previous wins and unfortunately end up losing it all. In fact the idea of being a responsible gambler also entails being able to place bets logically by knowing only what to stake but also when to take a break .
Greed has a lot of side effects and losing is the list of them. Greed makes the OP to lose his bet, so there are still other gamblers out there that greed has made them to lose. If gamblers can keep the thoughts of greed far away from gamble, there will be more positive things in the life of those gamblers. Greed causes loss and greed also makes a gambler become addicted to gamble, and it's only greed that makes us to chase our losses.
When gambling, one needs not to be greedy because it is a vice that can make you run at big loss. Greed will make you not to be satisfied with your bet and you will want to bet more or increase the amount that you are using to get. When you are greedy, you will not be able to control your emotions and from there, you will start chasing your losses.

This is why whatever that will make us not to be able to control our emotions when gambling, one should stay away from it, so that you can gamble responsible and manage your loss. A lot of gamblers are addicted just because they are greedy to stop at the right time and feel that they can win back their losses.

I haven't made any bet on any Olympics games. I prefer the entertainment that comes from watching the games. My favourite games are the track and field event and swimming. The football matches are not as interesting as championships that are exclusively for football games. Hey notblox1, which are your favourite games and what is your predictions? Do you usually bet on Olympic games?
I like field and track events, especially running. I like long jump and high jump and the one with the stick. I also like swimming. I do not watch the football, I do not know if it is interesting or not but I prefer world cup instead of the Olympic football. But generally there are many other interesting matches which are fun. I also prefer to watch it than to use it to bet. I may try small amount of money this time if the matches are available on bookie sites.
I do watch the football matches but not all of them, especially if my country is also present in the football competition. I could remember in 1996, that was the first time that Nigeria Super Eagles won a gold medal as the first in the football competition. When Nigeria won Brazil 4-3, from 2 goals down, and played Argentina in the finals and won them. Atlanta 1996, was when I started understanding that football is a sport that brings the world together.

I also love track and field games, because I was a good Athlete in college. I will see how I will follow up these Olympics games to see if I will be entertained by their games.

Why don't you learn trading yourself, if you feel you like to trade in the future, instead of putting your trust on your friend to trade for you, and you give him all the vital information that he needs to convert your funds to his.

Trust no one with money to help you do business with it, as long as they have the knowledge mote than you, they will take you to be a fool. The fact is why do you want to benefit from something that you don't know and don't want to learn it on your own to be a master of your own. It is better you don't even think of trading if this is what your are thinking about. Everyone will be held responsible for their own actions, so know what you want.
