The worst thing that can happen to a person is to develop a gambling addiction since it will ruin relationships with family and friends and cause them to lose focus on the things that really matter in life, which is their family.

I don't why some people find it difficult to comprehend that gambling doesn't bring wealth, rather it will drain your savings and cause you to lose your family. Even after being aware of this, people are still found to be hooked on gambling(what a sad world we live in)

It's like the psychology of gambling itself, it's been part of us and it's really hard to get away from it. And every day we see more gamblers started their journey because it is more accessible more than ever with internet and online gambling.

So it's vicious cycle, someone might recovered and share his stories like this, and then somewhere in the opposite side of the globe, a new individual is slowly turning into a addict and ruining his life and hopefully he can go back to his sense before everything crumbles in his face.

Once one Starts playing gambling, it is always difficult to quit because you may have ran into too many losses and trying to recover your lost before you quit thereby running into further losses or you might win and feel that it's a free money and with the mindset that when you try continuously you can win more money and in the quest you still lose more.

I have said it often times that gambling isn't that too bad as some people do say about it but it is through the way some gamblers do play it that makes it appear bad. You can still be playing gambling and going about your normal businesses without being affected but the worst that can happen to any body is being too addicted such that you develop most of your time playing gambling and discard other life obligations you should have been involved in.

Basically, as some people are testifying of how gambling helped them in life that's how some other people are also feeling so bad that they have lost so much to gambling but anyone who follows gambling with caution of not allowing oneself to get into addiction, then definitely you ain't gonna have any challenge while gambling.

Bayern has much stronger strength and mentality than Arsenal, so overall Bayern is slightly favored in this quarter-final regardless of what happens to the Bayern team in the domestic league.
There will of course be fierce competition because Arsenal is not a weak team, but we also have to make realistic predictions to place bets and for me Bayern will be able to win over Arsenal.
The condition of the two teams that are still unpredictable in terms of performance I think it could be another factor that this match is difficult to predict.
In terms of mentality and experience now it is certain that Bayern are still very favorites, it's just that with a slightly monotonous way of working and Arsenal's insistent play in a match this could be a differentiator where we know Arsenal's youngsters sometimes become very solid and can play with good consistency in 90 minutes of the match.

Tuchel knows how Arsenal are in a match and on the other hand Arteta must also have known what to do when facing Tuchel later. I just hope this match goes well because after all this is a big match and I expect good tension in this match.

BTW, for the quarter-finals this time it looks like the matches in the Champions League this season are more interesting than the previous season.


One thing about football is that we all always judge from previous meetings between two clubs without checking the current statistics about those teams in question. Yeah, Arsenal have been a prey for Bayern Munich in their previous meetings but let's us take a sit and virtualize Arsenal current performance, though it seems Arsenal is more focused in the premier league because they have been winning with high goal margin unlike in the champions league but let's us know that at a particular point, records are meant to be broken so we should not always come up with this mentality and reasoning that those that are in-form would continue winning why those that are not in form would keep on dropping points, no football doesn't work like that and had it been it does, believe me a lot of sports betting gamblers will be winning frequently because a lot of them mostly follows the team that has the lesser odds and the advantage of winning a match.

This match between Arsenal and Bayern Munich in the champions league quarter finals is a fierce battle between the both clubs because the both teams really needs to advance to the next level of the champions league in the sense that Bayern bundesliga hopes is very slim and Arsenal on the other hand isn't too sure of their readiness to win the premier league due to the fact that both Manchester city and Liverpool are also very much in the title race so securing a spot in the champions league finals would also be the target of Mikel Arteta.

Obviously, the champions league quarter finals this season is full of world class teams as they are all very difficult to predict which team will move to the next stages.

In the world of betting where decisions can increase or decrease your chances of winning, it is important to understand the influence of emotions on the decision-making process. Our mood can greatly influence the choices we make, and this also applies to in-play betting. Whether you're feeling elated, frustrated, or anxious, your emotional state can greatly impact your ability to make rational decisions and ultimately determine the outcome of your bets.

You are very correct because I remember sometimes when I'm in a bad mood and I place bet at that particular time, I don't even go close to winning because most of the events will not play according to how I predicted them but when I'm in a good mood, even if all the events doesn't play according to prediction but it will be close to a winning ticket so definitely our mood influences how our gambling goes. I don't place bet when I'm angry because I know I will certainly lose, I'll just wait until when my mind is settled before i start making predictions and placing bets.
Yes it is not possible to enjoy betting events if you cannot control your emotions. If angry, the gambler will suffer more losses. Betting is not only about luck but also about skill analysis and accurate calculations. Consistent profits are not the result of random guesswork but rather the result of a deep understanding of the game the players and most importantly the application of the correct betting strategy.

Exactly, even if one wins on guesswork it doesn't implies that one will consistently be depending on guesses in other to win though there are times when one will just feel confused on the particular predictions to give to an event and maybe settle on a random prediction but it doesn't guarantee winning except one is lucky enough to make right prediction in the course of choosing randomly.

We all are aware that winning in gambling is solely dependent on luck but most times, it also includes our ability of knowing the right predictions to give to an event based on previous analysis and reoccurrence so it aids in knowing the possibility of a repetition based on the previous outcome of that particular event.

With the kind of force with which Athletico Bilbao is coming with, I feel they are most likely to bench Atletico Madrid in the top four position of the La Liga table because as Atletico Madrid is losing matches that's how Bilbao is winning and now that they are in the top four positions, they would want to maintain it hence they can put in more of their best in other to secure a Champions league spot next season.

The problem with Atletico Madrid is inconsistency, they will play very well to a certain point then they start losing and drawing matches anyhow if not Atletico Madrid is among the strongest clubs in the la Liga just that they hardly win trophies.
Atletico Madrid last won the La Liga trophy in the 2020-2021 season. It can be said that Simeone squad has had difficulty winning trophies, especially this season, but they have always been able to finish in the top four of the standings in the last decade. The competition to win fourth place in the standings with Atletic Bilbao is likely to be tight until the end of the season, but Atletico Madrid opportunity is still very open because the two teams are only 1 point apart.

Actually, Atletico Madrid have been a strong force in the la Liga for over a decade now so I wouldn't be surprised if they still bounce back to form soon and reclaim the top four position because regardless of the fact that they lost their previous match, Atletico Madrid's defense is one I admire a lot among all the teams in Europe because hardly for an opponent to penetrate Atletico's defense and have an easy way because it is not always easy, that's why majority of their winnings always ends in clean sheets.  I just saw Atletico Madrid's loss as coming from tiredness of players due to the champions league match they played against Inter Milan, the players were so exhausted as a result of the stress the match gave them during last midweek.

But I think if Dortmund continues to do this (selling players) every season, it will take a long time for us to see them become champions. 

You need to understand that different clubs have their distinct ways of managing their teams because some clubs are after trophies while others are after business and sometimes, using players for business helps a team in the sense that they would have more finance to also purchase players that they would train very well and afterwards resells such players in other to make money for the club.

Also, some footballers have to play in better teams to continue their development. Robert Lewandowski was a great striker when he played for Borussia Dortmund, but he reached the best period of his career playing for Bayern Munich. If these players had stayed at Borussia Dortmund we might not have heard their names mentioned so much. Another recent example is Haaland. There is a huge difference between his stats at Borussia Dortmund and his stats at Manchester City.

Exactly, because these players may not be visible while still playing at Dortmund except they move to more recognized world class teams before they can do exploits and the players you mentioned are good typical example, Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland gained more recognition when they left Borussia Dortmund to the respective clubs they went to so you have a very good point.

It takes some players moving out of the clubs that made them to other clubs before they can shine very well and even bring out their best and playing for one particular team for too long isn't also advisable as going to different clubs brings out more of a players hidden potentials to exploit more because it's not easy to move to different clubs and still maintain same level of tactics and skills. It only takes a genius to achieve that.

I thought Athletico Madrid would be difficult for Barcelona to win against in the league, but Barcelona surprised me with an easy win against Athletico Madrid at home. Barcelona's performance has improved lately, and it has helped them get some good results. Barcelona is now in second place in the La Liga table.
This was a costly defeat for Atletico as they dropped to fifth place. They are 1 point behind Bilbao in fourth place. Actually, it's not a big difference in points and I'm sure Atletico will be able to get back to fourth place. But what worries me is the consistency of their game which doesn't look good lately. They lost to Cadiz 0-2 and I was really surprised by the defeat. If Atletico Madrid do not correct their mistakes then Athletic Bilbao could shift their position in the top four of the standings at the end of the season because of course Athletic Bilbao will not waste this opportunity.

With the kind of force with which Athletico Bilbao is coming with, I feel they are most likely to bench Atletico Madrid in the top four position of the La Liga table because as Atletico Madrid is losing matches that's how Bilbao is winning and now that they are in the top four positions, they would want to maintain it hence they can put in more of their best in other to secure a Champions league spot next season.

Regardless of every team wanting to own a trophy, I think one of their major objective is also to make some money for the club so that they can grow and be able to sign new players to their squad.

Dortmund have been known for training players and afterwards sells those players to bigger clubs that would offer them huge amount of money. Players like Ousmane Dembele, Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham, Mario Gotze, Ciro Immobile, Christian Pulisic, Robert Lewandowski, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Ilkay Gundogan and many others were players that literally came to Borussia Dortmund with little or no experience but they left as world class players to the respective clubs that they moved to, so football isn't necessarily all about owning a trophy but making some money for the club is also a welcome achievement.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it? on: March 19, 2024, 10:10:48 PM
Gambling has become very popular in the world , especially after the changes that have occurred over the years with modern technology and the abundance of games, we can now gamble with one push    anywhere and anytime . More money is flowing to sites and casinos in huge quantities, and everyone’s goal is to win more ,As is always known, if there is a loser, there is a winner, and I don't think that the percentage of losers is greater than the winners .

Is this true gambling is not place to make money is place to lose it?

From the line I highlighted, I don't really know how you got your statistics of saying that the percentage of losers are not greater than that of the winners like right from Origin of gambling, the losing rate is always higher than that of winning because if the percentage of winning is greater then I believe no one would be saying that gambling is bad at all and a lot of people would have started playing gambling but inasmuch as I know, there is never a time when the winning rate is higher than the losing rate so I think maybe you misquoted that area.

Then if anyone tells you that gambling isn't a place to make money that's a very big lie because regardless of the fact that some people just play for fun whether they make profits or losses, majority of gamblers plays with the mindset of making profits from their gambling, it's just unfortunate that a lot of gamblers experience more losses than winning if not majority literally plays to win and make some cool cash while gambling.
229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 19, 2024, 08:51:20 PM
It will be hard for Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga title this season. Bayern Leverkusen won their match to maintain their 10-point lead over Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table. If Bayern Munich can get the UEFA Champions League title this season, it will make up for the Bundesliga title they will not win.
I thought Bayer Leverkusen would get a defeat or draw against Freiburg but apparently not because Bayer could still maintain its performance and get three points, if there was a surprise in the match it would slightly increase its competition with Bayern Munich but again Bayern Munich must accept the fact that the point difference remains the same, so it could be said that it is difficult and there is no chance of any changes at the top of the standings.
Bayern Munich winning the Champions League also looks quite difficult, but it is not impossible for them to achieve it.
I know Bayern Munich players will be hoping for Freiburg to win or draw with Bayern Leverkusen so that they will close in on Bayern Leverkusen. Bayern Leverkusen surprised them with a win at Freiburg's home. Bayern Munich should accept they have lost this season's Bundesliga title to Bayern Leverkusen because they are playing on a different level and I don't see them dropping points soon.

I have already seen Leverkusen's future that there is never a time they would start dropping points to an extent that Bayern Munich would meet them up, never I mean if you watch Leverkusen play you will agree with me that this players have determination to win Bundesliga this season because when you check most of their bundesliga matches, they start winning from an early time such that it will be difficult for their opponents to level up with them and if they happen to score first in a match, that's always the end most time.

Bayern Munich has already given up in the title race because 10 points gap means losing 3 matches and drawing one before Bayern Munich can match up of which it is not possible at this point so Bayern Munich should just forget the Bundesliga and focus more of their energy in the Champions league as that's where their hope should be bestowed on.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: March 18, 2024, 09:53:17 PM
9 matches remaining in the Bundesliga and we see a fairly large gap (10 points) between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, in theory Bayern Munich can still knock Bayer Leverkusen from the top of the standings, but is it possible that Bayer Leverkusen will waste their chance to get the Bundesliga title?  I don't think so.

Based on Bundesliga historical records, Bayer Leverkusen have never won this title and if they can continue to be consistent, they can make history for themselves and break the 11 year dominance that has been built by Bayern Munich.
There is nothing we can do about the points Leverkusen have,and there is no magic Bayern can do to win the league from  Leverkusen as they are already topping them with 10 points.Bayern Munich will try to win the remaining of their games,but they will also have Some difficult games which they may have draws,same as Leverkusen who have been excellent all season and haven't had a lose since the beginning of the season.They still remain the only team unbeaten in the whole of Europe this season,and I think this is an exciting stats by Xabi Alonso,and I consider him the best coach of the season in Europe.

Well I think bayern leverkusen can not afford to lose this opportunity, considering the point difference, I don't think if bayern munich can stop them from being the champion this season, leverkusen have been looking for this opportunity for years,and now that they have gotten this opportunity I think they are going to utilize it very well.

Exactly, Bayern Leverkusen have been hungering for a bundesliga to trophy to their name since the history of the club as most of the time they tried to win the bundesliga, they always end up as runner-up and has been a runner-up for a record of five times in the Bundesliga so now that they have this opportunity of Breaking this record in the Bundesliga i don't think anything is gonna distract them and considering the fact that they are 10 points clear in the league table even makes it clear and convincing of being at the verge of winning the bundesliga and with just about 8 matches remaining before the end of the season even makes it more obvious.

At this point, there is no magic for Bayern Munich in the title race because with the current form of Leverkusen now they ain't gonna lose too many matches if at all they gonna lose because looking at their performance so far, they are playing with so much team spirit hence wouldn't give any chances of dropping points at this critical stage of the season.
231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making decisions while betting on: March 18, 2024, 09:12:45 PM

In the world of betting where decisions can increase or decrease your chances of winning, it is important to understand the influence of emotions on the decision-making process. Our mood can greatly influence the choices we make, and this also applies to in-play betting. Whether you're feeling elated, frustrated, or anxious, your emotional state can greatly impact your ability to make rational decisions and ultimately determine the outcome of your bets.

You are very correct because I remember sometimes when I'm in a bad mood and I place bet at that particular time, I don't even go close to winning because most of the events will not play according to how I predicted them but when I'm in a good mood, even if all the events doesn't play according to prediction but it will be close to a winning ticket so definitely our mood influences how our gambling goes. I don't place bet when I'm angry because I know I will certainly lose, I'll just wait until when my mind is settled before i start making predictions and placing bets.
232  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: If I bet big I lose, but if I bet small I win on: March 18, 2024, 08:59:41 PM
Apart from the luck factor, emotions also have a vital role. I often lose if my emotions are unstable and start chasing losses. But when I play relaxed and enjoy the game, I feel like I can get good wins or at least I can avoid continuous losses.

Yes, I agree with the term 99% luck and 1% skill, because no strategy can work well if we play a game that relies on luck. But in sportsbooks, I think it's 80% skill and 20% luck
Yes, emotions takes the parts to take care ourselves from playing gambling. When we can take care our emotion when playing gambling, nothings to worry and we can playing gambling without any problems. But many gamblers losing their control because their emotions becomes high and forget about anything that they must do so that makes them lose much money. When we can manages our emotions and not lose self-control, we can playing gambling relaxed and enjoy the gambling games.

Even if in sportsbooks, we have 80% skill and 20% luck, we will difficult to win because we know that the match can change in the middle of match. We can only takes care everything we can to prevent the big loss, including not using too much money to playing gambling.
those who win are those who are not influenced by emotions, these are good words that I have ever heard and if practiced then the results are very good for all aspects of life, as well as in gambling, those who gamble carried away by emotions will only experience losses, such as OP's case, he said he lost when betting big but won when betting with small capital, i know it's not easy to control emotions, but learning to control it is very important, especially since gambling is an activity that risks money, don't be emotional for a moment so we lose the money we have worked so hard to find.

It surprises me when some gamblers that have been into gambling activities for a long time will allow their mind to be controlled by emotions while gambling, I know that there are times when a gambler have incurred too many losses then he eventually wins with a little stake and begins to regret why he didn't stake bigger amount in other to cover up previous losses but however, it is important to know how one's gambling works because if you are aware of how your gambling works for you and you stick to that pattern, even if you lose it wouldn't be that much. If you stake little amount and win most of the time unlike when you stake higher amounts, then it's fine just be okay with the little you've won and forget about the huge amount you would have won if you had increased your stake because attempting to increase one's stake may lead to more bigger losses than winnings.

The forum must remain neutral in relation to other price disclosure platforms. Therefore, having such a table involved presenting data from a third party company.

You are very correct 💯 as there is no way such feature wouldn't involve a third party associate, so in other to maintain a fair position as regards to platforms that entails price presentations hence, such feature may not be relevant in the forum.

However we have lots of sites and apps to check Bitcoin price movement, in the forum we have wall observer/Bitcoin price movement thread where every member of the forum can easily go to check the current price of Bitcoin while navigating through the forum, the coin market cap. is also available for tracking Bitcoin and other altcoins prices and as well as a lot of exchanges and wallet apps also displays the price of Bitcoin so I see no reason for the inquisitiveness to have a kinda flyer that would be displayed in the homepage about the movements of Bitcoin prices at different intervals.

OP I suggest since some users here have identified that there have been previous posts and discussions that have been made as regards to your opinion in the OP, this topic should be locked.

thank you for reminding us how grateful we are being in Bitcoin investing.

It is good that if you started back up in 2022.. so yeah, keep going and keep building your BTC stash, even if it is just a modest amount of $100 per week or whatever you can do..

actually that's what I am doing now , 100$ a week or sometimes even a little higher when there are extra work for a week, not minding how much the price is because Like you i believe that bitcoin will be here and growing in the coming years and not just now and tomorrow.

You are truly aspiring us small investors to keep trusting this great currency..Thank you.

Wow 100$ a week in your DCA? That's pretty cool. Like i always tell people that a good hodler doesn't check at the price of Bitcoin before buying as every damn price is a buying time inasmuch as you are a long term Bitcoin investor you actually gonna make a whole lot of profit because it is believed that in every new ATH the price of Bitcoin must absolutely surpass the previous ATH, so let's make and assumption that if the ATH after the halving makes it up to $100k then the next halving ATH gets to $200k then the next becomes $300k, an investor that DCA $100 every week when the price was $100k and continues till like 8 years (2 halving) would have made some good profit within that time frame, so there is no losing time as a bitcoin investor so far you can patiently wait for your investment to ripe within the long run.

Sure jayjuangee have been a great hodler and motivator in hodling Bitcoin for quite some time in this forum, he has emphasize so much on the strategies and ethics with which one can become a successful Bitcoin investor, he's a great forum mentor.

Real sociedad took a good position in the match and they where able to scored the first goal at 28 minutes and added another one goal at 68 minutes to defeat Cadiz 2-0 to caused a heavy celebration in the stadium because many people thought Real sociedad don't have the strength to defeat Cadiz in their home but it was a surprised performance seen Real sociedad embraced the three points from the match. Cadiz has enter relegation zone, and it will be difficult for them to recover from all those loses they experienced from this season because their preparation was very poor in this la Liga league competition. I think, Real Madrid will win their match today, because they always prepared ahead  against any team they are going to meet in the field but for Girona to win their match today it will take them by luck because their opponent don't give up easily in any match.
La Liga is the perfect league to start earning enormous profits in gambling because there's one certain thing, Real Madrid doesn't lose points easy. Real Madrid will keep topping the table because they're yet to meet their match this season, Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid couldn't stop them from reaching key points. Real Sociedad were victorious at the end of the game, end flogging Cadiz 2 nil and that puts El Submarino Amarillo in the relegation zone this season. However, Mauricio Pellegrino will retain his position as headcoach and he will surf for good results in upcoming matches.
I agree with you that this season, Real Madrid is the favorite to win the La Liga title. Girona, who was in the La Liga title race with Real Madrid, was not consistent enough to rival Real Madrid for the title this season. Real Madrid is leading Girona by 7 points in the La Liga table. Real Madrid just needs to win eight matches before they can finally win the La Liga title.

Earlier when Girona was topping the la Liga and I saw that Real Madrid wasn't given them any chance for a big gap, I saw it that Girona would get to a point where they would become afraid and tired because if you are not determined to win a trophy just like Bayern Leverkusen is doing in the Bundesliga, it would be difficult especially when a Stronger team is running same race with you so it was just unfortunate that after Girona lost 4:0 to Real Madrid, it was that day that their morale began to fade because since then they haven't been in their best performance.

In other hand, kudos to a resilient Real Madrid as they have been up and doing in other to still maintain the gap they are topping the league with, even today they won Osasuna by 2:4 after an impressive display from Real Madrid teammates of which Vinicius Jnr scored the first and last goal for Real Madrid, they're now 10 points above Girona who is the second team in the league table pending the outcome of Girona's match against Getafe this evening.

So I brought this topic to let us know that in gambling, if you just play it as though you don't take it seriously whether you win or lose then you might surprisingly win an amount that will amaze you one day and it would look as if you're smart or you know how to predict the outcome of events and in most cases, when a gambler wins they doesn't really care much about their previous losses regardless of the amount they won.
How Iwish gambling is just like that , in which you will not take it seriously and let your bets flowing without having a management completely , indeed that surprises is in gambling but we must also pay attention and be smart enough to know how much we consider to stand out the table

Yeah if you take gambling as just some kind of fun game and feel so relaxed about your stakes then you might probably have a surprise win just like me because being relaxed also makes you feel good even when you lose, after all you never took it seriously!.

However, in gambling there is no smart person because if there is, then we would have seen some people recording too many winnings as a result of their smartness so basically, gambling is a game of chance (luck).


So I just felt like making some predictions in sports betting today and the events was about 8 matches, and it all played according to how I predicted them to go and I won the bet though I spent less than $1 just #1000 in my local currency to place the bet and i won close to $23 which is about #32000 in my local currency as well. Congratulations to me as i didn't expect this winning.


What I can say is congratulations, you are a one super lucky gambler(and of course obviously skilled one) to win such bet x23% is a best profit if only you use bigger capital.

I like the sound of that super lucky gambler but using bigger capital can also lead to bigger losses had it been it was a lost ticket so we shouldn't be too greedy when playing gambling and should be comfortable with any amount being won regardless of the stake and the outcome.

By the way, don't get me wrong, even though I suggest DCA as the best default system to get started in BTC investing, I also consider that it is not the best for anyone who is able to put together some combination of other systems that also might include DCA as a supplement or as a kind of hybrid DCA, so in that regard, I appreciate any front load lump summing and even front load DCAing, that also includes attempts to buy on dips during the weekly DCA, especially in the earliest stages of building a BTC portfolio, but surely if someone is brand new to investing and/or BTC, they likely are not even able to do any of those other fancy strategies, so they are likely going to be in a way better position to strictly DCA an amount of money that is reasonably doable for them,  and it likely would not even be beneficial to for them to be spending time on various other strategies if they might barely be able to just get some kind of system set up to buy BTC regularly and then they have a lot of other things going on in their lives, since maybe the brand new investor might need to try to figure out ways to increase his disposable income so that he is able to invest more into BTC, and yeah if someone is in college (or some low income earning situation) they might not even have much income, so they might have difficulties increasing their disposable income until they finish their college and/or vocational training... DCA might still work for a person like that, if they don't have much income, they just would be setting a small portion aside while they are doing their studies.
Maybe if they could manage their financial flows better, I don't think there would be an obstacle for them to miss a single purchase at each stage. Yes, I mean if they directly manage their money from the start, for example they have $20k and they have divided several stages of purchases every week or month up to a period of 1 year in their initial planning. But sometimes they don't set a strategy like that, instead they set aside their salary every month to buy BTC, even that's also a good choice.

Yes, even though it's like that, I think every target in the first year should not have any obstacles or go through several stages because that can make us not consistent in our one main target. However, what is certain is that everything may not be perfect, and of course we can fix any gaps we have missed at the next stage by increasing purchasing more aggressively.

There is actually no better way of managing one's inflow during investment other than proper planning and applying these strategies of having an urgent funds because as a beginner, it is important to note that investment involves determination and self discipline and it can only be achieved when the needful have been put in place so that is the only way to ensure that we keep our investments running rather than becoming so slow as a result of some unforseen circumstances that may occur along the line.

Definitely, at the start of an investment you don't expect everything to go as you planned because you sure gonna come through some huddles but those huddles would stand as a yardstick that will propel you during your time of investment. However, when you miss out at any interval during your investment processes it is always hard to cover up the previous lapses that's why an investor doesn't need to give room to any form of distractions during the time of investment.

Quite a standard set of teams for the quarterfinals, isn't it?  Grin
In Arsenal's place there could be Liverpool or Chelsea (which we won't see in the Champions League for a very long time, it seems).
If it were not for a significant change in the strength of the teams (Barcelona and Atlético are far from what they were before), then one would think that we were back 6-8 years ago.

Actually the quarter finals qualified teams are pretty good as all of them are not lesser than being between the fourth to first positions in their respective leagues so it's really a wonderful combination of giants from each divisions.

Saying Arsenal could have been replaced by either Chelsea or Liverpool is a kind of belittling Arsenal because if not that Arsenal have been without major trophies for a long time now, you would agree with me that England's big four teams wouldn't be complete without Arsenal and so far this season, we have seen the performance of Arsenal even at a time when they flopped, they bounced back stronger again and has achieved great results so far, so they deserve some accolades.

Indeed Barcelona and Atletico Madrid seems to have dropped form for quite some seasons now but that not withstanding, they're still doing pretty good as they still maintain within the top four positions in the LA Liga.

No, you didn't understand my point, I didn't want to belittle Arsenal. Just go back to the time when we saw the confrontation between Ronaldo and Messi and when the attention of the whole world was focused on the Clasico. In those days, Bayern was also strong and very often reached the Champions League final. City, Dortmund and Atlético were also top teams (Atlético had two Champions League finals against Real Madrid). The composition of these quarter-finals reminded me of those times, and if we go back to those times completely, instead of Arsenal we would rather remember Liverpool or Chelsea. But now it is obvious that Arsenal rightfully takes its place and before the last round of the Champions League they were rated even better than Bayern.

I quite understand your point now because in those years it looked as if Arsenal was Ghosted due to their poor performance in the Champions league as at then and Liverpool and Chelsea were very active and relevant when Arsenal went into exile and doesn't go far in the Champions league whenever they qualify and moreover, it's almost 14 years since Arsenal last got to this quarter finals stage in the Champions league but all the same, regardless of the fact that Arsenal haven't been so relevant in the champions league and not having a Champions league trophy to their name doesn't mean that they ain't a big team anymore.

The draw for the double legged quaterfinals of UEFA champions league is out and here are my predictions.

Atletico Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund
Two of the weakest team in the quaterfinals. Anyone playing against the winner of them in semis would be lucky. Of the two, Atletico Madrid have a better chance to qualify.

The draw by UEFA between this both clubs is really in equilibrium like the both clubs are almost equal in performance and it would really be difficult to predict which team will advance to the semi finals because I feel that the both clubs will have some advantages in their home ground.

Quote
PSG vs Barcelona
A recurring and popular match in Champions league quarterfinals. Barcelona is better on head to head but this time PSG is the better team.

PSG and Barcelona match also seems like a balanced draw by the football body UEFA because the both teams are almost in same performance this season but PSG seems to be the favourite because since Kylian Mbappe will be leaving PSG this season, I think he would want to leave a memory at PSG thereby he will be very inquisitive to advance to the next level of the champions league so I strongly believe that PSG will emerge the winner of this fixture.

Quote
Arsenal vs Bayren Munich
This is a hard one to predict. They have been quite different from the last time they met. I'll bet on Bayren Munich as German playing style dominates over English.
This draw by UEFA seems to be an unfortunate game for Arsenal because judging from their previous meetings with Bayern Munich, the results are not mostly in favour of Arsenal but let's see how it goes because with the kind of energy and determination that Arsenal have shown both in the premier league and the Champions league so far, they can take every one by surprise because this is football so the unexpected can be expected at any time.

Quote
Real Madrid vs Manchester City
This one too is going to be a great game. Again I believe the physical playing style of Real Madrid and their legacy on champions league would favor them over Manchester City,

This is the most difficult draw by UEFA because this both clubs have a very impressive champions league records though Real Madrid had better champions league record than Manchester city but in recent years, Manchester city has always been a strong force in the champions league so there is no doubt that this match between this both teams is the hardest for this quarter finals.

See eh, the way tins dy go, even as a graduate, if you no get high paying hand work or skill, e no go easy for you, regardless of ur educational background, so e dy  important say if we want live well for this naija wey we dy, try your possible best to learn a high paying skill like trading, coding, web designing, online marketing skill,  learn how to sell, you fit no be the richest, but I believe say if you dy good in any of them, poverty no go knock your door, make ona reason am.

All the whole skills wey you don mention no still dey easy for person wey one begin and e come be say no money to take forward am. Like before person go fit learn this skills them wey you mention you know say the person go require a better phone and laptop and some other stuffs that would be used to enhance the learning process, so all these things involves money and we know how the country be now as people dey think of wetin to eat first before talking of buying devices and gadgets wey person fit use they learn all this online work.

So e no really dey easy for anybody for this country because even people wey get no dey spend money extravagantly again because no body no wetin go happen within the next minute. Another thing be say all this online stuffs them no be every body get the zeal to learn am so e go really dey difficult for those set of people because e get some persons wey their head no fit carry computer works so those kind people, internet or computer work will not be of any help to them.

We need to consider some physical skills wey be say e go dey affordable and easy for people to learn even if e no be high paying job but make them use am dey start life small small then dem fit they use wetin dey come out from the   skill the learn online work.
