Yesterday I wouldn’t lie United play there best game of the season in the first half and that tells you the impact the likes of Casemiro and Lisandro Martinez have on the team. Both of them came in with Shaw and you could see the composure in the team most especially the defense line and that actually shows what the team has been missing throughout the season. The attack line actually let them down a bit last night because Manchester United Should have closed the game in the first 45 minutes but they miss chances and that caused the team, this has been the story of united season.

Now Ten Hag seriously doesn’t have any excuse left, because he used the team injury as excuses for his loses and now they are all back and fit. Yesterday he made some bad decisions on bring in players because some substitutions were actually bad yesternight and almost cause the team.
In the away match against Wolves, Manchester United really performed beyond expectations. Manchester United, who were leading 1-3, let Wolves come back to equalize at 3-3. It was very annoying considering the match was almost over, but luck was still on Manchester United's side where their young midfielder Kobbie Mainoo managed to score the winning goal in the final minutes of the match.

Wolves almost stole Manchester United's victory because 25 minutes before the match ended, Manchester United's defense seemed to lose concentration. Ten Hag has to develop a better strategy because his current squad is complete, so of course he can't blame his squad when they lose. The next match may be a little more difficult, West Ham certainly doesn't want to lose and gives their place to Manchester United.

These days, it is quite easy to access casinos both online and offline because the publicity is everywhere.  These casino owners being business men are using the power of social media to get what they want. They promote themselves using digital marketing platforms than they use traditional methods. They do lots of social media ads to get potential clients. This forum is also a case study of how casinos market themselves. They target social mediums especially cryptocurrency forums where they are certain they can find cryptocurrency holders, this is quite easy because digital marketing has made everything easier for them. There are many other strategies they use to promote their businesses though.
Only crypto-based casinos do marketing on bitcointalk, if fiat-based casinos then social media is the target market. I didn't find a single fiat-based casino (fiat only) being promoted on bitcointalk, this could mean that their desired target market is not in the right place.

Social media and advertising banners displayed on the sidelines at sporting events are good market strategies for most casinos. They become official sponsors for certain sports teams, they target customers with them especially when the casino has sports betting in its list of games. That's a successful strategy for most casinos, but if they only promote in one place then their site traffic likely won't be much. This means they won't get more customers.
323  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pay off DEBT by do Gambling? think again before you loss more on: February 01, 2024, 07:48:09 PM
That is obviously not something that anyone should do.

Gambling by definition is an -EV proposition and you'd be foolish to want to pay off debt using that. As we all know, gambling should be reserved for entertainment purposes only, and you should not bet any more that what you can afford to lose.

Unfortunately, not everyone follows that adage, and I have seen way too many people gamble away money that they desperately need. This is not restricted to house debt - I've seen people do the same on credit card debt. It's a real shame.
Instead of gambling and hoping to pay off debts with it, the best option is to pay in installments. Even if the debt is not paid off immediately, paying in installments is the best way to do it instead of not doing it at all. But somehow someone's mindset is that when their financial conditions are too tight, they tend to take big risks and fail to find better options.

Gambling should be considered entertainment, not a source of income. If someone is in debt but they aim to win at gambling to pay off their debt, then there is a big risk of getting into more debt as a consequence. I know not all bets will lose, but the low probability of winning is a risk worth considering.
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? on: February 01, 2024, 06:49:06 PM
In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?
Losing is of course unpleasant, even if it's not worth much. A series of consecutive defeats of course makes anyone feel angry with themselves, including me, but this is not the best way to express yourself. Gamblers must be aware that they need to be responsible gamblers for whatever impact they have, so they should not hate themselves and regret their losses for a long time.

Losing and winning are part of gambling, so they should not forget that. If you lose a lot today, stop for a moment and come back tomorrow or go somewhere to meditate. No loss is fun, it's all annoying.

It is the best achievement of one of the gamblers who is able to be responsible for what he is doing and some other gamblers are only able to spend money without ever thinking about the impact. I have also seen the father of a friend who won the lottery and all the money they owned was used to buy a transportation car and their family lived luxury from the initial process of purchasing the car. But unfortunately in the next 10 years everything changed, his father experienced pain, cars and other treasures they collected were sold out for treatment and in the end all the property he had used up without remaining.
I don't know where the error lies in the way they use their winnings. Building a business no matter what it is is certainly a good choice, but to be successful with their business they need to manage and maintain it well. You are never guaranteed to be successful from having a business, even if you try several times with different ideas.

The wheels of the economy are always turning and not all rich people will remain rich for their descendants, some of them can also fall into poverty without really knowing why. Good and correct financial management allows someone to maintain their financial status in good condition, but it also does not guarantee that they will remain the same.

The worst things like this we need to think about and even though the big victory we get in gambling is transferred to the business or buying transportation, we must also have an option about how to manage it because if not all we have will be exhausted and finally return the lowest pitches like the beginning.
The transportation business is not bad, but maybe the way it is managed is not right. Regarding health, maybe that is the cause of the decline in the economy of the person who you know.

This is already good to have for traders who are just starting out. Dare to experiment again.

The focus points encountered during the learning process to be applied in trading practice must be consistent. Slight differences between theories when carrying out trading practices must be known to be carried out.
If the price is in a downward position, then what is needed is to understand what the next price chart will be because the price drop could be a trap to thwart the take profit.

Trading that makes things easier according to my trading experience is the spot trading type.
For other types of trading it is too complicated for me to control for myself.
Theory and practice do not have to be the same, most traders are able to experiment on their own and develop their trading strategies based on experience and needs. However, every trader needs to avoid greed and stay focused on the target they want to achieve and exit on time. Not all failures are caused by a trader's inability to understand how the market works, but are caused by greed and high expectations of the price that will be achieved.

Spot trading, Futures, Binary are just a few options that you can try. However, spot trading is certainly safer so as not to lose all your budget if the price is corrected. Trading future is too risky, especially when traders place high leverage. Binary option is the same, it is too risky to lose all your budget.
327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is Binary Trade Better or Better to Buy and Hold Bitcoin? on: January 31, 2024, 06:45:47 PM
If you don't want to be a holder, then it's at least a good idea to be a spot trader. Future trading and binary trading are too risky for you, meaning you can lose everything just because of greed or a small mistake. I'm not saying binary trading is bad for everyone, but considering you don't have a good experience, it's a good idea to avoid it.

My advice, become a holder and develop your investment strategy. If that doesn't appeal, then spot trading is the second option I recommend. You won't lose all your investment without making a big mistake if you choose these two options, you just need to be patient and develop a strategy.

Barca will play with Osasuna today after last week's defeat to Villarreal. I think Xavi is relieved after announcing that he will quit at the end of the season. Looking at the line-up, Barca should win, but Osasuna have also been on a roll in the last 3 games and have come in good form. The fact that the match is in Barcelona and they will play with their ideal squad makes the odds in favor of Barca. I expect a different performance today, a dominant Barca as we know them. They will win with plenty of goals.
Whoever the player is, if they can give their best then the game will be better. Barcelona's chances are certainly good, but they have serious problems in defense so Barcelona always has difficulty avoiding conceding. So far Barcelona have conceded 14 goals in their last 5 matches in all competitions, so maybe today they will get it too.

The match has been going on for 25 minutes and no goals have been scored. Several opportunities have been created, but the players have not been able to maximize them properly. Barcelona needs to be careful with Osasuna's counter attacks, but also has to be creative enough in building attacks.
329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 31, 2024, 05:21:07 PM
Barcelona vs Osasuna

Today have La Liga postponed match for matchday 20 between Barcelona vs Osasuna, looking current standings position from Osasuna can't guarantee  Barcelona will easily for winning in this match. Learned from last match, Barcelona losses from Villareal have lower position standings than Osasuna. In last two matches before, Osasuna won 1 match against Getafe and last week match draw from Sevilla. I think is very good capital for Osasuna get one or three points against Barcelona have two losses in last two matches.
Barcelona won their last match against Osasuna in the semi-finals of the Spanish Super Cup, that is also something to consider before you predict the result of this match. Barcelona will most likely not repeat the same mistakes in this match, especially when they have to recover after two consecutive defeats in two different competitions.

I won't say Barcelona can win this match without any problems, but Barcelona's chances of winning are certainly better. Playing at home is an advantage that Barcelona needs to exploit, so I don't think Barcelona will ruin their good record against Osasuna today. So far Barcelona have won 5 games in a row against Osasuna, so I don't expect that record to be broken today.

Its not matter with weakness team or not because Barcelona have poor performance in last several matches before, difficult made clean sheet and Barcelona goals keeper Inaki have conceded many goals since replacing Ster Teegan position after injuring. I think Xavi Hernandez have put in the bench awhile for Inaki and give chance to youth goal keeper Ander Astralaga.
The lineups for both teams are available. Inaki Pena filled the goalkeeper position, he is still trusted as a goalkeeper today. There is no Joao Felix in the full Barcelona squad today, I don't know why he is absent.

Personally, I as a forum owner will never allow a competing forum to advertise on my forum though.
Of course, but only if you really believe that there will be thousands of users who will switch to another forum rather than continue using bitcointalk regularly. You don't need to worry about other forums advertised here (if any), people are free to choose any forum and discuss bitcoin.

But if you're worried, I wonder what you're worried about that you don't want to have competitors?

Nottingham playing at home doesn't look like enough advantage for them because since the kick off, Arsenal has dominated the whole game and Nottingham is yet to get a shot on target, although they are still at the first half and it's just past the 25th minutes, I'm hoping that at the end of the first half I should see a goal.
The first half ended and Arsenal really had difficulty breaking through the Nottingham goal. Arsenal tried various ways to score goals, but so far the Nottingham defense has really been able to overcome Arsenal's attacks. Not a single shoot has been on target and so far Nottingham has been really lucky.

Arsenal with their performance so far should be able to win this game all things been equal. Except if there be a good reason probably due to uncertainties which they can't control, els by all circumstances Arsenal should win with little to no struggle but it's looking like Nottingham forest will be more on the defensive and Arsenal stays offensive. arsenal even before the kick off is the favourite I'm this game and it's so because it's believed arsenal is the stronger side even with their recent poor performance.
In my opinion, Arsenal has a real chance of winning this match. They dominated the game and dominated attacks, but Nottingham also has to be wary of, especially when counter-attacking and at set pieces. Goals will likely come in the second half, but if Arsenal fail to get the win then it will be a costly loss.

Another interesting match has also started between Aston Villa vs Newcastle. Both teams look evenly matched and it is difficult to determine who will win, but Aston Villa looks like they will maximize all their abilities to win 3 points in the home match.

It is still quite uncertain to tell the outcome of this match. Both of the teams involved in this match still have chances of winning the game and at the same time the match could end up in a tie. I am not going to feel that one team is superior over the other because both of the teams have their own lapses and also strengths which cannot be underestimated. Napoli are on 9th place in the standings and Barcelona are far above that number in their own league too but that is not enough to give them a lead in this match.

The better team will win in this match because it is a different game and a very challenging one for both teams to want an instant win. Until the two legs of the match are played, even one leg of the match is not enough to determine the winner. This is one of the hottest matches in the round of 16, so I will treat it as one and not give any team a higher hope of winning over the other one.
I agree that Barcelona is superior to Napoli, but I doubt Barcelona can win the last 16 match this season. Barcelona's condition is in chaos and they are having difficulty getting into their best form, this is a problem that Barcelona has been experiencing until Xavi decides to leave at the end of the season.

Laporta admits this, although so far Laporta has really supported Xavi. Barcelona are no better in form than last season, but underestimating them completely would be a big mistake. Napoli has a chance to win the match against Barcelona, ​​but I think Barcelona is ready to fight and qualify for the next round by winning this round of 16 match.

The main purpose of my topic is for software wallet users not hardware wallet users, many crypto beginners still use software wallets like Electrum and other open source software wallets, not everyone can afford hardware wallet and it's not completely free of scam risks if they can get a hardware wallet too.
Yes, all of this is understandable. There are many bitcoin users who don't have a hardware wallet to store their bitcoin, it's not a big problem and I think it's still okay. The problem is, they have to find a way to properly secure their bitcoins even if it is not completely risk-free. All wallet options have their own level of risk, but at least they know how to be safer by minimizing the risks.

Having a hardware wallet is certainly better in terms of minimizing risks, but it also doesn't completely guarantee that your bitcoins remain safe. However, if you have a large amount of assets, then the best choice is a hardware wallet rather than a software wallet.

Your crypto is your responsibility, meaning you are the first person who is fully responsible for whatever assets you own. Storing all your assets on your smartphone especially in an online wallet is a risky choice, but if you understand it and are able to bear all the consequences then it is good for you.

Wherever you keep your assets (any wallet), just know, don't tell anyone except people you trust. You never know who will take it from you, whether it's a hacker or a robber, so it's best to avoid it. Here we can only give you advice, but the best practices are in your own hands.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What strategies do you adopt that can help to make millions in sport betting on: January 29, 2024, 05:25:17 PM
I don't chase money when gambling but I will go with single matches anytime because it's less risky this way compare to many matches at once, many people used to complain that if they bet on a single match the amount they could win will be very small, I will never understand why so many gamblers cares only about how much they can make but not care about how much they can lose.
Considering that people's gambling goals are different, I think it is natural that some gamblers hope to win big with parlay bets. The higher the odds offered, the smaller their chances of winning. They certainly understand the risk of losing, but there are also those who ignore it and bet without fear.

Single bets are certainly lower risk, but they also never guarantee a win. Anything can happen in sports betting, even the favorite team can lose in a particular match. Risk definitely exists and every gambler knows about it, so don't be surprised if you get gamblers who accept a high risk of losing with their parlay bets.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: January 29, 2024, 04:32:18 PM
Yes  of course, most gamblers restort  to violence due to frustration of their constant losing, and most times they tend to transfer the aggression to their wife at home, which can lead to him beating her up,
Another thing is that he may demand for some money from his wife when he has exhausted the fund he had with him just to keep funding his gambling harbit, and if she refused, he might decide to restort to violence just to get the money from her. So their are so many senario that can make a gambler engaged in domestic violence.
Taking out anger on anyone due to gambling losses is the impact of irresponsible gambling. This is experienced by some gamblers in various countries, but of course not all gamblers have the same behavior. There are many cases where gamblers become more violent than usual when they have become seriously addicted, some gamblers even have terrible plans such as robbery and others just to get money.

The point is, the bad impacts of gambling will only be felt by irresponsible gamblers. They need to get advice and even appropriate treatment so that the impact of their addiction can be reduced or even cured, but this requires a long process. So that's why gamblers are expected to be responsible gamblers, that advice clearly has some truth to it.

Connecting directly to web3 wallet is easier. Another option, users can access via email listed below the choice of three types of wallet [Metamask, WalletConnect and Coinbase]. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are right, users can register their account with email instead of just connecting their wallet to the casino. The way it works is as usual, just enter an active email and get a verification link sent to your email, then confirm your age. Like most other casino sites, MetaWin also has an age limit where users must be at least 18 years old. As for the other rules, I think they need to read the ToS.

There is something that anyone who deliberately registers an account at MetaWin needs to know but is under 18 years old. I hope they actually read this one: Underage Gaming Policy

Merit sources
There are 109 merit sources with a total merit generation of up to 33140 sMerit per 30 days

Apart from that, ratimov is also no longer active in sending sMerits so maybe theymos need to add a new merit source
Regardless of whether Ratimov is active as a merit source or not, I think the need for new merit sources needs to be considered. There are many worthy merit source applications and so far not a single one has been accepted. Theymos needs to bring in some new people as a merit source, this will increase the merit statistics on some of the boards they are interested in.

To OP, I support your application. Good luck.
