I'm not a fan of these things, some people use copy-trading after entering the market, I'm not even a fan of that because I believe you should either be able to make trades yourself, or simply stay away from trading because it isn't for you. Use your money in something else where you have knowledge and experience and you may earn some money, don't force yourself into something that you don't know anything about or have a general interest in.

Trading is good and profitable for those who are interested in it and aren't forcing themselves into the industry just because there is an earning opportunity. If you are forcing yourself, you will not be able to learn trading and become a good trader, so it's better that you do what you like doing and make a profession out of that.

Real vs Manchester City looks like the best game to be chosen for watching tomorrow and judging from the last game of Real Madrid in Champions League I have a lot of doubts in their probability to win at home against City despite the bookies giving them an extraordinary odd of 2.85 that we rarely see for them when playing at Bernabeu.I am more prone to choose the win of Manchester City with an odd of 2.45 as they are in a much better form compared to Real Madrid.
The bookies have predicted that Man City will outperform the game at the Bernabeu but we know Man City is more processing the ball than making direct kicking attacks, in contrast to Real Madrid will definitely rely on fast attacks where when Man City is a little off guard.

I can't be sure who will win but still usually playing at the Bernabeu the team will be favored over the opponent but the bookies are more inclined to Man City.
I'll be watching this important match but haven't decided which odds to bet on yet.
Most of the time we have mind games from the Bookies which try to create feud because they are also well aware about ground realities and how teams will be give their performance in coming game same happening in this game while we all know things will be challenging for the both sides into this game at the Bernabéu as we have Manchester City is not at his best and their problems are increasing even they are capable of fixing things quickly and also give surprises as well.

Now, we are having less than two days for the game, and we can expect Real Madrid as dominating side but still they are favouring Manchester City as they are having good history, but their present is not like this and any result can go through with for me most chances we will have Real Madrid as the winner of the first leg game at the Bernabéu.

I think Girona have been improving gradually over the years and the fact that their players have been playing together for long is another thing to their advantage. I don't expect expect to change anytime soon and that will mean that they would have transfoed from a low club to a top team. Of they eventually qualify for champions league next season in line with the expectations of their teaming supporters, that will be a big boost to their morale and team spirit. Indeed the future is looking so bright for them.
La Liga is not easy and very tough for mediocre teams. With the presence of Real Madrid and Barcelona, these average teams thinks they're capable of withstanding the pressure coming their path? It's funny how these teams fight really hard to accumulate points and when they've been the at the top, all of a sudden, they dropped and even returned back worse. Girona was expected to maintain the lead but they fall from the top and they're having complications to maintain their streak winnings. However I wouldn't blame them because they're average team and they have been doing everything to rise back up but it doesn't seem to be happening.
There are many reasons we are having drop of spots and points for the teams which came from the down and up and then suddenly again gone down one if mostly coaches keep strategy on uphill and having no changes which hurt their performance as many competitor coaches learn their ways and give them tough challenge which bring their performance and quality down, and they have to face the worst things but in case of Girona we are having some better things now after poor results they are fighting back and having improvement as well.

Most chances now we will have significant changes in their performance and things will be also well for their future in Champions League because we are going to have better changes as owners are surely happy and now looking for this club to stay at the top ranks for the long time.

After successfully winning the match at home yesterday when they hosted Fiorentina, now Juventus has again strengthened its points for third place even though the two teams below Juventus' ranking are currently getting closer in terms of points in the standings table. This means that this could be a competition that really attracts the attention of many people because Bologna and Roma are also no less good at the moment so both of them will also enliven the battle for third place this season.
For the top 4, I think Juventus will definitely stay in that position now even though they are very bad in terms of play.
Yesterday's match against Fiorentina did get them with 1 Gatti goal that lasted until the game ended but seeing from what they showed on the field I think it still doesn't reflect that it was a Juventus game because in my opinion this season Juventus have a very bad style of play especially for midfield battles.

They tend to prefer to let the opponent control the midfield and wait in the defensive area rather than trying to do presing which makes it look like a club without stars in it even though their players have good durability to duel but Alegrri doesn't seem to want that.
Although in the end the final result is the benchmark, but still this style is not really suitable for a club as big as Juventus where in every game of possession they always lose.
As we have performance of the Juventus in last 10 games there is not guaranteed for their stay at the 4th spot because they have only 10 points with Bologna having 25 and AS Roma 23 and if we have same ratio for the next games as well then surely we can have them out of the top four they need to be give their best and bring some creativity for the better results and having enough goals which are not coming.

Seven matches are remaining, and we have 4 points difference from the Bologna and just 7 points from the Roma mean all can happen now it's time for giving his best and bring things back to normal before it's gone from bad to worse for them Allegri is well aware about his position and performance of the team hopefully he will do his best for staying at this spot and keep things at the top level because if he fails then surely he can lose his job as well.

Arsenal are good and I have noticed there improvements since last season. They almost took the trophy from Manchester City but towards the end of the season just like now, they lost 3 important matches and Manchester City won their match's and gave them 9 gap points to win the Premier League, I hope they don't repeat that in this season with rest of the 7 matches else the fans are going to cook them this time.

It will be fair if Arsenal win this but I want to see Manchester City win this time. I want to see us win the Premier League and make Manchester united, Chelsea and Liverpool feel worthless, the have rule the Premier League for many years, it's time to break that monopoly of the league circulating between these teams.
Yeah, Arsenal is currently one of the best side in Premier League with they have no lost in 2024 and things are clearly indicating they can go through for the title but still It's too early because we have 7 games remaining in this season and these can create serious changes at the top but here we have to praise Mikel Arteta and Arsenal for their impressive run and now leading the league table at this crucial time with we have interesting situation at the top 3 teams are having just one point different and many crucial games are coming into way for the end of this season.

Everyone is giving his own favourite team for the win in this season but still prediction is not easy while we have Arsenal and Liverpool at the same level and Manchester City is surely missing their magic which were their trademark in last few years lets just wait for the one of the best end of this season while things are going to be entertaining for the all soccer fans.

Considering we are getting very near the end of the season, every team is trying their best, even teams who are not that great end up playing their best ball in order to get a better seeding, or at least keep their seed. It's important to realize that these are all great players who sometimes have bad periods but when they do play, they are so good.

Klay may have seen like not a great player all season long, at least not the player we remember that well, not the dude with sixty points in three quarters type of game, or thirty seven in one quarter, those are Klay too and what saw this season wasn't that Klay. But he showed this game again that if he needs to be, he can still be that Klay when needed and that's what matters in the playoffs.
267  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: April 08, 2024, 02:50:10 PM
Maybe it's because land-based casinos are more luxurious in many ways,a and people who can gamble there are rich and wealthy, so they are most likely to be enjoying their time while spending money just to have fun. Although there are also gamblers that get addicted and make their lives miserable in land-based casinos, compared to online gambling casinos, online casinos are more prone to addiction. It's because people can easily gamble anywhere and anytime they want to play or stake, so it is common that someone can be hooked up in online gambling and for sure may not notice the amount they are using in order to play. 

But do keep in mind that no matter what kind of gambling it is, land-based or online, a gambler can become addicted, and based on what kind of gambling it is, the effect can vary. In land-based gambling, you can stake even your property, while in online gambling, you can stake all the money you have.
You're probably right that easy accessibility can be a reason why most people who gamble in online casinos get easily addicted to it a land-based casino wouldn't be as easy to access as an online casino platform can be because you can simply open your phone or laptop anywhere you are and boom, you have the casino in front of you and you can directly start making bets without any interruptions or anything which isn't the case with land-based casinos.

However, even though land-based casinos are often filled with wealthy people, you can still find some struggling gamblers among the crowd who would be looking for a win or two at a poker or roulette table. They might not make it, but they surely try their luck every day with a few bucks they manage to get from somewhere.
268  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 Official Partner of Newcastle United Football Club on: April 08, 2024, 11:51:53 AM
Well done Newcastle for winning a match against Fulham, now they are only two points less than Man United.

Poor Chelsea couldnt win against last placed Sheffield and they messed up and ruined my combo ticket with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all to win Tongue
Very interesting race for the title continues between Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Even though I did manage to know the result of this game and wagered on Newcastle to win, I am still shocked that United is getting this much trouble even at sixth position. They should have been much higher, but they failed.

Even if you look at the last five games, you will see that they lost 10 points in just last five games. If they won those, they would have been only one point behind, that's it. Instead, they are 10+ points behind now, and they are getting closed down by West Ham and Newcastle at the same time as well. I feel like that should be one of the most important things that people should be focusing on. United seems like not having a good season at all, and need to figure out how to end the season stronger than this.
269  Economy / Speculation / Re: are you expecting Bitcoin to hit $400,000 after the bull run. on: April 08, 2024, 09:58:32 AM
I'm seeing Bitcoin rising to $400,000 before the first quarter of 2025, the bull run this time it will be different from the last one. Bitcoin is $70,000 now the halving have not started, I'm looking at the market that this is the right to buy and hold after the bull run then you sell and make your triple profit.
I want to stay optimistic about $100k or at most, $150k, and I don't want to have unrealistic expectations from Bitcoin and the market. For it to reach $400k, we will need a lot of investors and a lot of money flowing into the market, the first quarter of 2025 is barely a year ahead, and I don't think we are going to get that many investors or investments in this period.

That being said, I would also say that the market is unpredictable, we have seen things happening that looked like impossible in this market, so nothing is really impossible, but we should have realistic expectations so that we don't hurt our feelings and so that we can stay ready for any sort of situation that may occur.
270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: April 08, 2024, 09:04:33 AM
patience is a key to prevent losing a lot.
Yeah but unfortunately, most gamblers lack in that in reality. They don't have enough patience which is why they can't stop when they need to and eventually lose more money. A lot of people lose their earned profits because of being impatient and having no self-control, they keep gambling even after having an upper hand over the house, and eventually lose everything back and then exit. So if they exit earlier instead, they would get some money in hand along with the initial bankroll.

So, patience is important in any gambling, not only in gambling but in any sector, because the final outcome of anything you do can be greatly affected by you either being patient or impatient. It's up to the person whether they want the results to be in positive or become negative.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: April 07, 2024, 06:36:52 PM
the laws will really be strict in a country especially if they see its effect on the people, and it is necessary to follow it in order to respect the decision of the government. Why is the promotion of gambling prohibited when gambling is legal in the country? There are many possible reasons, but the first one here is the wrong way of promotion, which many minors see and possibly imitate, just to avoid that even young people may become addicted to gambling.
It may not seem as if it makes any sense, but as stated before there are some products which are legal but that are not allowed to advertise, what this means is that the government does not want to go through the trouble of actually banning something that people like and that realistically they have no way to really ban, however they are trying to reduce the rate at which people use that product, and an effective way to achieve this goal is to forbid those products to advertise.
It's understandable for some products, such as some countries have restrictions on advertising products such as condoms, however, the use of the product or the production isn't illegal and it is sold without any problems but they just don't allow you to advertise the product for some reason. There are many things such as that, however, this is something completely different than gambling and casinos.

They might be doing this to prevent the youth from getting addicted to gambling or starting gambling, but there must be other ways of doing this. It shouldn't be allowed on TVs, and advertisements shouldn't be allowed online by platforms, but if an individual is discussing about it, that shouldn't be a problem.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: April 07, 2024, 03:48:22 PM
Many nations already have restrictions in place for gambling enterprises, such as age limitations and mandatory responsible gambling messages. But I believe more can be done. For example, some nations have begun to impose limits on how much money people may spend gambling in a certain period of time. This can assist people avoid going into major financial difficulty as a result of gaming. So there are guidelines governing how gambling may be promoted in advertisements, but many nations do not have such prohibitions. Furthermore, limitations can assist to safeguard people from the possible negative consequences of gambling. When dealing with gambling addiction, I believe it is critical to examine both the legal and social environments.
Such limitations can only be applied to gambling or casinos that are physical or land-based. They can impose a maximum limit that an individual can spend in a certain period across the country, and even for that to work flawlessly, they will need to record such data and add it to a national database that would be available and accessible across all casinos within the country. Without such a system, a gambler will gamble with $100 in one casino, and once they don't allow him anymore, he would go to a different casino and start gambling there.

So if they build a system like that, they can prevent people from overspending in land-based casinos. However, there can't be such restrictions with online gambling platforms and we all know that most people these days gamble online.
273  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Stake F1 Team on: April 06, 2024, 05:40:23 PM
Stake has their own way to provide contests, as long as I remember they never made any contest in this bitcointalk forum since the first day. They have their own forum and social media, most of their promotions/contests are there not here. Primedice which is the old sister had some contests in this forum long time ago but Stake do not follow. They must have their own reason why they do not provide contest in bitcointalk, so do not hope too much that you will see contests by Stake in this forum.
their is something I want to know is it compulsory or necessary that any signatures campaign launched in this forum most have contests or organised a contests in the forum, I have not seem were it has been written before, I think a signatures having a contests is like another avenue to promotes their products in the forum, unlike roobet signatures they have other things they conduct that got attention of people and with their art contests many people have known them, so stake have the highest numbers of participants in the forum that promotes their signatures, and that's why they don't feel to conduct any contests because contests is as same making themselves to known.
I would guess that you need some sort of goal for the signature to make sense, that way you would be able to redirect people somewhere, otherwise it is just brand awareness and nothing more. If you just write "hey this is stake, play here" and leave, that is not good enough and usually do not end up being great.

But, if you share like some bonus, some promotion, some rewards etc etc, like whatever you can do, then you will realize soon that people will flock better, because there is something to go there, a reason to be there. This is why most campaigns end up having something like that which people can focus on, instead of just general promoting the casino. This is why I believe it should be important to keep having these stuff.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: April 06, 2024, 02:41:34 PM
there is also some gambling that requires skill, but I think that also cannot ensure that we can win easily, it only increases the chance of winning but doesn't change the luck portion. I don't think we can win even though we have good skills if luck is not on our side, if we are lucky then we can win by random means.
If you don't want luck to disrupt your gambling experience, get into sports betting. The outcome of a sports event isn't always dependent on luck because it's not like a gambling game where you press a button and then wait for the RNG to generate the result for you to see if you were lucky or not.

In sports betting, you place your bets based on your knowledge about the teams and players involved in a game and you know their capabilities and abilities and how much skilled or unskilled they are, so your bet wouldn't be based on luck in sports betting.

I know that luck can affect games sometime, you will see a team losing that you expected to win and statistically, it was ahead of the opponent. However, this doesn't happen all the time.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: April 06, 2024, 05:02:03 AM
The mathematician might have used probability and statistics to find patterns in lottery numbers. We all know that lotteries are about luck, but I think, using mathematical is an advantage to try to increase chances of winning. Although we should also understand and remember that there is no foolproof method that winning is guaranteed by using these kind of techniques.
It's not always possible to achieve something like that, because if it were, there are a lot of people in the world who are experts in mathematics, and they would use their tricks and techniques to crack the code of a lottery and win the first prize every single time. This is the only story I have heard in my entire life about a person who managed to win the lottery 14 times using mathematical calculations.

I'm also pretty sure that lotteries and their management must have changed things after that and it isn't possible anymore for someone to do that even if they know how to do it. If we think we are smart, management of the casinos and lotteries are smart as well, they won't leave any loopholes open for anyone to exploit and make them go broke.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: April 05, 2024, 05:28:42 PM
Previously, I used to play offline more commonly, but when crypto became more popular, I started looking for some decentralized services to experience. Although in terms of scale, they are still too small compared to the market share of gambling, but for personal purposes, I think it meets the needs.

There are a few familiar names in the crypto space in terms of gambling, but they have never become a major force, and there are still some legal constraints that still exist, so there is promise in this field lots of exploitation potential.
I don't see any decentralized casino platforms around, people barely use them because there aren't any reputable ones or ones that have been operating for quite some time and people are confident in using them. Since a decentralized platform would require a user to connect their wallet on the website to gamble, and this becomes a concern for gamblers because you can't connect your wallet to a platform that you don't trust.

So, this is probably a challenge for web3 or decentralized casino platforms to earn the trust of the community that their wallets won't be compromised if they connect them with their website and that their funds will be safe, and then maybe they can get some gamblers.

I remember wanting one of these as a kid. It seemed like they were commonly available back in the day but I can’t say I’ve seen one for sale in many years. Probably some new laws about gambling or something keeping them from being sold to the normal folks. If I recall correctly, in the late 80s you could get a working slot machine like this for around $500.
For what purpose, personal? Though as a kid our preferences are strange that even a thing is not a toy we are still interested on them. I know, maybe this is because of the catchy tune and cute fruit graphics of this machine. Gambling started long time ago and the machine we have here is one of those early machines, so yeah, they are so common back in time. They might only be exclusive to the casino owners but even up to this date, as we all know that gambling is kinda sensitive.

You need permission from the governments first to have and operate one. $500 for this in the past seems expensive but if done or set up correctly, we can still recover our ROI and even make more. Funny that they might only be more expensive now because they are already antique.

Manchester united is not worst, but had a bad day on the pitch. Manchester united defenders was suppose to know that Palmer is a very dangerous player, and should not have given him any space. However, Manchester united thought it was over, when it was not yet over, which caused them to lose all three points. Palmer is the best transfer that Chelsea made this season, and I know that they will not regret spending such a big amount on him.
Chelsea humbled Manchester United today at Stamford Bridge, a big winning for the home team to grab and hitting hard on the next. This night is special because it do bring back memories buried but the tremendous winnings have awaken them and these players will now focused on the main deals. I think by now, we would have know the market price of Cole Palmer that keeps increasing in valuable this season.
I wouldn't say that Chelsea defeated Manchester United, but rather won a willful victory. Before the game I thought a draw was the most logical result and in principle it should have been, if not for Palmer's hat-trick and great play, which stands out from the rest of the players.
I think Manchester City fans now love Ole Sulsher even more compared to Ten Hag. Manchester have more goals conceded than scored and how they are in 6th place is unclear, because statistically they are an absolutely average team that should be in 10th-12th place, not sixth like now, but Chelsea if they continue to play like yesterday will probably be in 6th-7th place.
Even we have too much criticism for the Pochettino but still things are looking well under control and most chances we will be having Chelsea into top 6 spots because lately their performance is looking good and things are also looking much better Palmer done impressive job and his late two goals helps them for having three points and important win against Manchester United which was looking for the fifth spot, but now it looks like things are not as they were having their strategy.

This was important win for the Chelsea as now they are having not lost in last five games which is giving them good confidence and chance for doing better in coming matches Manchester United crises are now deepen because their performance is going down, and we are going to have the good number of changes in coming days which will be brought change otherwise things will be not as they want.

It's  fine to disagree, besides I made mention of their fast game  they seem to be pretty good with it but Pep learned a lot in his first  defeat against  Real Madrid in Champions league 2022 , he would have noticed that  real madrid has a tactic of playing offside along with fast attack  and the only way to counter this is by possessing the ball ( Mancity  is pretty good with possession), besides this was the way they defeated  them last season.  Although  this year they now have a new finisher and some good mield fields probably  things would have changed a little , so I see them winning only by luck From my side
Hmm, with your statement, you are making it sound as if the game was one sided , I mean it's the match between two good teams and their is always room for improvement from the both sides because the two parties are teams that would never want to be defeated at this stage.

Like you said Manchester city are a very good possession player but am pretty certain Madrid must have watched their style and would keep everything professional between the two pair.
Both the teams are currently watching each other also looking how things are working for them because this is also important part of the game and usually coaches set their strategy with this easily currently we are having two toughest clubs in the soccer world and both are going to face each other in next few days which are surely going to be entertaining time for the soccer fans right now this match is most wanted by the fans due to his quality and depth which is surely going to be high with both will give their best.

Plus, we will have one of the top quality players those will go against each other and also try to have things which could be favourable to them for me prediction is not easy while these both clubs will jump into ground because for me both are having same level of quality and performance and match day performance could be best for both.

It's true, well personally for me there are still no players with the quality of CR7 and Messi, for me those two players are the best, of course, there are Haaland and Mbappé who are the most outstanding players in the world, but I think they don't reach the quality of these, I don't know if they are my ideas or I am setting the standard or the bar very high, but for me these two players will always make a difference and that is something that is noticeable, for me these things are like that, although Messi and CR7 are a little older, for me they are still much better than the current players, apart from everything in Portugal itself there is envy among the players of the Portuguese national team. Cancelo's statements did not go down well with anyone, so these types of players They don't have much to talk about if they haven't had a similar or better career than him, in Argentina all the players respect Messi and defend him, I think the difference is very noticeable there, in the World Cup if I want those two to be there and hopefully the match between Argentina and Portugal takes place.
Replacement is never been easy and if you have players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi then surely it needs more time while we are having these both players at his best in coming world cup this could be another historic moment for the soccer fans around the world Portugal which is looking for their first ever big success completely fail to bring good development into their soccer system which was expected few years back, but sadly things are never been ideal for them to have good players into their team.

In last few years we have no well noticed players which we can call suitable replacement for these legendary players those are doing their best for years and still we have few good years to watch their game and enjoy this all for few more years.
