321  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 13, 2024, 04:15:12 PM
Well the UEL is about to resume and we’ve got as a norma the addition of Ucl teams. These additions sometimes change the face of the UEL because these teams have more experience than the UEL teams. When you see the likes of Milan, Galatasaray then you get scared and now have a wide range of favorite to pick for the UEL trophy. 2 teams that still remain top favorites are Leverkusen and Liverpool.
If some teams come from the Champions League, they normally shake the Europa League because most of them are good teams that can make it to any stage in the Europa League.
This season, I am sure that Galatasaray and AC Milan will do well in the Europa League because they tried their best just that they are not lucky to qualify to the Champions League round of 16, therefore, I think they will go far in the Europa League as well.


Quote

 Liverpool have everything they need to take this trophy home especially with their vast experience and excellent players. Bayer Leverkusen who’re coasting high under Xabi Alonso still have a shot and I now see them cementing that hope with their win against Bayern Munich, this is supposed to scare other teams that they real mean business and are ready to put up a fight for that title.
Leverkusen were my favorites to win the Europa League because Alonso and his players are very serious and focused in all the competitions they are playing, they now lead Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and the are the only team that is yet lose a single match in the Bundesliga; nevertheless, since Klopp announces his retirement at the end of the season, I am now afraid that Liverpool might win the Europa League because Klopp will want to win any trophy that come his before leaving.
322  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 13, 2024, 04:04:54 PM

The EPL still remains one big competitive league as you can see the little goal margin between these clubs and I believe that it’ll real be a fierce competition till the very last days of the league. Arsenal shouldn’t be written off at this point as they’ve proved that they still have a lot to offer.
Exactly, the Premier League remain the toughest league in the top European Leagues, it is the only League where who will win the League will only be determine at the end of the league or even in the last matches because the top four teams are always battling for the title. This season, the defending champions Manchester City will be willing to win the again for the fourth time, Liverpool will also want to win especially as Klopp is leaving at the need if this season, and Arsenal on the other hand will wants to win the league after failing to win the league as Manchester City won the Leage after Arsenal were at the top of the League for almost the entire season.

Overall Chelsea performance was inconsistent under Pochettino's direction, this victory was lucky because Crystal Palace could not provide competitive competition for Chelsea. The player material that Chelsea has should be able to reach a better position if they are able to maintain consistency in the game, the victory over Crystal Palace ended two bad results in the last two matches in the EPL. In the next match, there is no guarantee that Chelsea will be able to achieve maximum results because they will face very strong opponents in the EPL, Manchester City also really needs a win to maintain their chance of reaching first place.
Chelsea’s problem is inconsistent, but they have individual players that have the qualities that can lead the team to victory in any competition, but Pochettihnho even after complaining of not been the person that signed the players is yet to organize the team as they are yet to give us sign of securing Champions League spot next season.

Defeating at home to a weak team like Udinese is quite painful for Juventus and its fans too. Because now it is true as you said that Juventus' points have formed a distance from Inter Milan's points so that Juventus' chances of getting the Scudetto are running out. And this will be quite difficult for Juventus because they have to catch up with Inter Milan, who now have a seven-point gap at the top of the Serie A standings.
I have started to count Juventus out of the title race, they failed to win any of their last three matches, they are now seven points behind Inter Milan that still have one game at hand and are just one point ahead of Milan, this means that Inter Milan have all the chances they need to win the Seria A title again this season because if they win their next match against Sportiva, they will be ten points clear on top of the table which means a lot for them because they will hardly be overtaken by any of these team unless they go like four matches losing.
324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 10, 2024, 01:14:11 PM
Regarding Barcelona and the next games for this team, I can see there is more reward for betting on Barcelona against Napoli which means people mostly think Barcelona is going to lose it to a team like Napoli and this is not good for Xavi and players to be in this situation at all. However, even Napoli is far from the good form they were in the last season. I think Barcelona should accept they already lost everything and there is almost hope for them in the game they have against Napoli.

I want you to understand that bookmakers are following trend and recent form in making their decisions on how to give high odds. They gave Barcelona the biggest odd ahead of Napoli because of Napoli’s last seasons victory and Champions League performance, they did not consider history and statistics.

If we make reference to stats, Napoli cannot stand near Barcelona because their last five matches did not favor Napoli. Barcelona fans should not panic because I don’t think Napoli of this season can eliminate them from Champions league even though Barcelona is not in good form.
Barcelona won their last two matches while Napoli won one and drew one, I will be expecting a step up performance from both of them before the Champions League match, maybe two days to the match we will predict who to win but right now, it is a 50/50 game in my opinion.

You have listed valid points OP, when these introductions are strictly followed, a newbie trader will gain good experience and earn from trading with time.

You forget to warn them from been greedy; most newbies in trading are greedy and are always willing to make it big within short time which is wrong because everything is a gradual process.
Let’s learn to take the little profit we have and start all over again, greed will always lead us astray, let’s avoid it and focus on learning everyday, knowledge is the foundation of everything.
326  Economy / Economics / Re: Opportunities During Economic Downturns? on: February 10, 2024, 12:33:48 PM
Are there any potential benefits that can arise from inflation, recession, or economic downturns? As they say, necessity is the mother of invention. We see an example when people in a country are  faced with very imports duty that individuals there become inspired to establish local businesses and initiate domestic production and start consuming locally as an alternative to imported goods. While this approach might prove successful in certain countries, others may encounter obstacles such as high operating costs and countless taxes on startups. This is a challenge that discourages local production. Despite these challenges, do you think there are still opportunities during economic downturns?
Yes, but I think only investors that invested long way back will benefit most from inflation if they have good plans.
Real estate and Bitcoin investors will benefit in this economic situation even though they will also use their money to purchase other goods and services for their personal needs, theirs will be minimal because when they compare the amount they invested and the amount they are cashing out in this period, there is usually some good gains that can cover the inflated price of goods.
People who believe in holding fiat currencies in their local banks have no hope, the inflation most affect them in different ways, they cannot afford to buy goods that their money can afford buying some years back because of the high inflation rate.

Local production that have no enough sticker row materials will also be affected because the cost will affect all aspect of their production procedures which will affect their outcome especially if they don’t have enough money.
327  Economy / Economics / Re: Coping with Risk. on: February 09, 2024, 08:18:17 PM

so my question is, which is more risky?

A). Running a physical business that has a whole lot of risk associated with it or

B) running an online investment with high risk of hack that could result in you loosing all your asset.

All investments involves risk, learning how to manage the risk is the main thing that will make your business go fast because we know that the higher your risk, the greater the reward.

Physical investments is good and the risk is reasonable because it can be controlled or it can be seen and be managed by taking some major precautions to prevent all these risks involved.
While online investment risk is more volatile and it is easier to lose money online since you cannot see the risk but if you also take some precautions, you can manage the risk and get your reward.
328  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Help me understand this apparent contradiction between bitcoin and inflation on: February 09, 2024, 08:04:31 PM
But if bitcoin is a hedge against inflation then shouldn't the bitcoin price rise when inflation goes up instead of going down?
I'm guessing the answer would be that inflation causes bitcoin price to go down in the short term, but in the long term causes it to go up? If so then why?

Inflation cannot affect the price of bitcoin in the way you are expressing it. If you hold bitcoin, you are somehow against inflation because the money you use to buy the bitcoin if you keep the money in your bank, inflation will affect the value of the money as it will not worth what it worth now if the inflation rate is, but if you hold bitcoin and the bitcoin pump, it will maintain its value and even add more value which is clearly against inflation.
Long term bitcoin investment is the best.

331  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Trend or long term projects? on: February 08, 2024, 09:30:14 PM
There's more than one way ride the crypto rollercoaster. No right or wrong approach necessarily. Sure, a lot of folks see this as a chance to make some quick cash with short-term plays. Get in, make some profits, get out.  But for others, it's more about slowly building up their long positions in proven winners like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

But me? I prefer projects with real technology and community behind 'em and  stuff that'll still be around when the latest fad fizzles out.  Not saying I never speculate mind you.  Sometimes you gotta trust your gut, catch the wave and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Both long term projects and short term projects are good to invest in for different purposes. You can benefit from both especially if you did short term investments meme coins that follow trend, because they are not always good for long term as we have seen so many of them remain static after the trend; therefore, if you trust any meme coin and it is trending, do your research and invest in it for short period of time and take your profit. But if it Bitcoin, always invest for long term if you really wants good and reasonable profit.

Good alt coins like BNB, ETH, LTC, and others that are the top ranked altcoins can be considered and invested in on a long term because they have gain enough trust in the crypto ecosystem, but other altcoins should be for short term investment.
332  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Has Airdrop season begun? on: February 08, 2024, 09:20:11 PM
This thread to me looks like another advert to ALT token, are you being paid for that?
Not bad since the project looks good and real as you are expressing, the market cap will keep moving if the project have good investors.

With the current positive price action, this proves that investors are Keen about the project hence the continuous surge in price since listing. Several top Cex have already  listed the token on their platform leaving me with the question if ALT is worth investing in?
To invest in any altcoin, you need to study the project and do your own research about the project. Do not follow trend just because they paid some participants to participate in airdrop, if you wants to invest in the ALT project, you need to study the project white paper, know their plans and partners, know their roadmap and make sure the team behind the project is strong enough are reliable.

333  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading on your own vs social trading and copy trading on: February 08, 2024, 07:27:46 PM
Now the choices might vary from people to people I must say. If you are new to trading then trading with your own might take time to make profits. So at this time, the ideal thing will be to trade with popular traders. That is doing copy trading. Copy trading the exact amount and risk can help you to understand the market and it will also help you to make profits. Hence if you ask me then copy trading will be might top priority.
Newbie traders are always wanting to go with social media way of trading since that is where they were introduced. Some social media trading experts are very good, they are making it big because they are using different strategies and they learning well because they are public figures and will not want to make too much errors.
Some social media traders are scammers and have no experience about trading, they mostly copy and take pictures from successful traders to post in their pages just to gain much followers and people to scam which is very bad and that is the main reason we warn newbies to do extra research before jumping into any information they get from social media.
334  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: How can we understand market going to be Bear? on: February 08, 2024, 07:16:28 PM
In trading we must always follow the trend. Trends can sometimes go up and sometimes down. To find current trends, we need to do and technical analysis. We must be able to find the major trends from various timelines, so that we can decide what to do. When we cannot determine the major trend or make mistakes in the analysis, we will be in trouble so we have to go back to the manual and immediately decide to sell.

But in crypto, there are moments that can make the market bullish or bearish. Usually the positive news can provide bullish opportunities and negative news can make a bearish moment.
Following trend sometimes in cryptocurrency investment or trading always brings a bad experience and sometimes lead to loss of capital.
Trend is a good factor that determines whether there is a bear or bull market. If the Bitcoin price is going up, the price of other altcoins will go up; if that keeps happening consistently, it means it is a bull market. But if bad news from different sources keeps happening and the price of bitcoin keeps dumping, then it is a bear market, which is a good time to invest if you are investing for the long term. Traders are liking the bull market because it favors them most as they are making good profits during the bull market.
335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 08, 2024, 11:58:42 AM

I don't think it's right to expect De Rossi to win this match against Inter Milan. Inter Milan is the team in the first place in Serie A and they are racing closely with Juventus for the title while Roma is in crisis and they started working with a coach just a few days ago which means De Rossi can't have the enough time in Roma to do anything. I think even using De Ross as a new coach won't help Roma against Inter Milan at all.
De Rossi is a new manager that will be trying to prove himself worthy of his new job in different ways, losing or winning against the Seria A top team Inter Milan is parting his job, but considering the two teams performances in all competitions in their last four matches, they all won their last four matches which is why I am thinking that the match will be a tough match because De Rossi as a new manager will want to impress Roma fans with good results, as a result, he will do his best to get at least one point in the match especially as he will be playing the match at home in front of their fans.
336  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 07, 2024, 09:01:15 PM
These Afcon games have surprised me, but in a negative way, the last few games have been full of drama and few goals, with the few goals being penalties. Let's look at the case of Nigeria:

Nigeria 1 - 1 equatorial guinea
Nigeria 1 - 0 Ivory Coast
Nigeria 1 - 0 guinea bissau
Nigeria 2 - 0 Cameroon
Nigeria 1 - 0 Angola
Nigeria 1 - 1 South Africa
This means that the Super Eagles of Nigeria has conceded just two goals in overall in the four matches they played so far, and they scored one goal each in four of the matches and scored two goals in their knockout stage match against Cameroon.
The Super Eagles were lucky and they have good defenders which is why they were able to maintain four clean sheets and Nwambali who is the Super Eagles goal keeper is doing a great job including the penalty saves he did today against the Bafanabafana of South Africa.

Quote
and today the Ivory Coast can go to the final, it is unbelievable to see how the finalist teams perform at that level and yet one of these teams will be champion and this is not just about these two teams, there are other teams that also failed to score many goals . When will we see an Afcon with lots of goals and a worthy team that won convincingly and became champions? It seems like this Afcon is rigged, that's why I haven't been watching these games, I prefer to just see the final result and the highlights
Scoring too much goals is not the main, in fact this show that all teams in the tournament prepared well to the competition, only teams with experienced players are making it with little amount of goals they are scoring.
337  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 07, 2024, 07:01:45 PM
Omo.. I must swear, this is the most happiest moment for Nigerians in the entire 2024 AFCON game this season, as we Nigerians just score 1 goal against South Africa at 80 minutes into the game, and I will be very glad if the Super Eagles of Nigeria can maintain this pattern of game play in the next 10 to 15 minutes when the game finally comes to an end.
And I swear to God if we do actually win this game, social media will be a hell to the entire South Africans, due to how much this guys have been mocking us for the past recent days


A controversial penalty has led the match to extra time. Victor Osimhen scored a goal to make it 2-0 for Nigeria before a call from VAR cancelled the goal and awarded a penalty, it is now 1-1 at 90 minutes. The extra time will decide the winner or perhaps the match will lead to penalties which is what the South African team and players want.
338  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 07, 2024, 06:06:49 PM
Victor Osimhen starts and there are not still enough midfield balls getting to him. Iwobi is the problem of this Nigerian team again as his refusal to get involved with tackles is making Nigeria lack in Midfield. South Africa's Strategy of playing long balls is working really well, and it is causing Nigeria's defence many problems. Had Nwabali not made the save, South Africa would have been a goal ahead already. Nigeria needs to play better in the second half, move the ball quicker, make better runs and tackles and show some more level of commitment to this team.
The Bafanabafana of South Africa is playing a very good game. They dominated the entire match and they have more confidence than the Super Eagles players in this match, they are doing their best to score Nigeria but the Nigerian defense is strong and has been stoping them even though the South Africa team have developed a long ball strategy to deceive the Nigerian defense. Nevertheless, I am expecting a good boast in Nigerian performance if they really wants to win this match.

From the little time   I have been in the trader’s world  knowledge has been one of the legends to the victory of much tremendous traders who are appreciating themself and they're famous...
As a newbie trader, you just have to pay the expense of success  before flexing that the the most important thing,

Nothing is as important as knowledge in anything you are about to start doing, if you have knowledge about anything, it will be more easier to do it and earn or benefit from it. Crypto trading is hard, and it is very profitable but it requires some sacrifices which include learning all the basic fundamentals about trading and know how to avoid losses and stop been greedy and take the little profits you have.
340  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Cashless Socity and Contribution of Bitcoin! on: February 07, 2024, 04:31:13 PM

Bitcoin becomes the primary medium of exchange replacing physical cash entirely. Several obstacles would need to be overcome for this to happen such as Bitcoin would need widespread adoption as a means of payment.
The only challenge Bitcoin is having right now is transaction fee. And the main reason why some people are scared of bitcoin transactions is because it is irreversible while some of this payment methods are easier and can be traceable since they all involve third parties.

I am not encouraging bitcoin as payment method for small scale business if they are not going to hold the bitcoin, because they will be complaining of high fee since the amount they will be transacting will be small, but for mass adoption, if bitcoin can be added to the world recognized payment methods, it will increase the rate of adoption, but since it dose not involve third parties, I doubt if it going to be possible.
