3301  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 04, 2023, 12:44:33 PM
I'm not seeing Barca as favourite for the tittle,I know they have some players that are actually getting them goals,while Madrid do not have,but that doesn't make Barca the favourite for the Tittle.Genoa have really had a good start to the season,and if not that Madrid flogged them,I believe we would have been saying that they really stand a chance of winning the tittle,but Madrid winning them simply means that they can beat other teams,but won't be able to win the big teams in the league.Now this is my prediction for the tittle,Madrid,Barca, Athletico,and Genoa.These are the teams that will follow each other from my own look of things.
La Liga is certainly for authoritative teams, as evidenced by Real Madrid and Barcelona. Los Blancos topping the table presently, while Barcelona ranked second place. They have never failed to contend for the La Liga title in consecutively. Real Madrid and Barcelona are favorites because they have high-quality players who are determined to produce excellent outcomes. Barcelona is a strong contender for the La Liga title. They have always performed at a high level in games. With the presence of other elite competitive clubs, we should expects a better run for the league title.

I'm annoyed by affluent clubs' constant supremacy in La Liga! Real Madrid and Barcelona dominate the title every year. Why? Their star-studded rosters and fat wallets give them talent and victories! I don't enjoy watching a league with repeat title contenders. Barcelona has consistently competed for the crown through difficult times. Doesnt it get tiresome watching these two financial powerhouses dance? When will other clubs receive a fair shot at glory?

Quote from: Jossque
Chelsea managed to win again after 3 weeks in the league. After 3 weeks without a win, Chelsea defeated Fulham away and got 3 points. Chelsea, who had a bad start this year under Pochettino, are not exactly playing well but they are hardly winning matches. I wonder if the management will make a move because the gap with the teams they are already competing with has widened slightly. Chelsea increased their points to 8 with this win and there is a 10 point gap between them and the leader.

I think, there is improvement in the team now because Chelsea dominated through out the match that made them to defeated Fulham to have more strength to finished the match, and that match has given people confident that they will definitely achieve victory in their next match. Since pochettino has discovered his errors that made the team to went through all those challenges that made their starting look poor for other teams to reduced them, but he has used this Fulham match to encourage fans that there is a hope for the team to step up to top 4 in this season. Based on what am observing from this Chelsea new manager, I think if Chelsea president give him long time he will do something that will make Chelsea to embrace that honor they where receiving as among the best team in the premier league competition in the past.
Chelsea is starting to return to winning ways and the players' mentality is improving. Pochettino must maintain the good spirits of his players so that in the next match he will also have high hopes of winning again against Burnley. But I'm not really sure that the Blues will be able to continue to perform well except against mediocre teams because the quality of players still doesn't look promising for this season so I'm pessimistic that they will be able to finish in the top six. If you look at the concept that has been developed, Chelsea has quite bright prospects and I am sure that Chelsea will be able to rise with Pochettino in the next few seasons.
I have numerous questions about Pochettino's Chelsea rule! Can he get Chelsea to win consistently? Not buying it, especially this season! They've won twice, but beating Brighton Albion and Fulham isnt exactly headline-grabbing, is it? I wouldnt lay my home on them bashing Burnley either. Not seeing Pochettino's strategic genius that Chelsea needs right now makes me angry and scared. If they sneak into the top six, I'll be shocked. He may need time, but does Chelsea have it? The next few matchups will reveal more, but Im pessimistic for now.

Manchester United actually didn't have a bad performance. They were very effective offensively throughout the match, but if there is a problem with something, it could be Casemiro's penalty and the red card he received. Everything in Galatasaray's favor became more evident after that red card. Before that, Galatasaray, which scored 2 goals with 2 counter attacks, found strong positions against ManU, which was missing. As a result, they scored the third goal and won the match. ETH may now need to be questioned in Manchester United.
In terms of play, Manchester United were indeed able to perform well and create dangerous attacks, but the carelessness of their own players made everything fall apart. Casemiro's red card gave Galatasaray more freedom, but Onana's poor performance was also the main cause of the defeat. Erik Ten Hag is really quite confused about the problems plaguing his team. I think Ten Hag must have the courage to make decisions for players who cannot make a big contribution to the team. Now Erik Ten Hag's fate is truly on the brink.

yes that's right, and this is a losing streak for the red devils, and Manchester United have lost 3 matches at home even though last season they were good at home, thus, they are currently also slumped in the middle of the table. the blunder made by Onana which forced Casemiro to violate the opposing player which eventually led to a penalty and Casemiro got a red card, fortunately the penalty execution from the Galatasaray team was off target but that still did not make it a victory for Manchester United.

In my opinion this is a big mistake to let David De Gea leave Manchester United. to catch points and add points Manchester United must win in the upcoming match unfortunately now this club is ranked 10th in the primary league of course this is not a good ranking, and Erik ten Hag's future is a question mark. However, what is there to say that Erik Ten Hag is on the edge he feels quite confident his position remains safe.
I think Erik Ten Hag dug his own coffin by selling David De Gea and signing Onana! A harsh yet realistic view: Even after good performances with Inter, Onana's blunders have hurt United. My irritation about the seemingly pointless transfer operations rises as we sit mid-table. In addition, Onana's mistake that led to Casemiro's red card was embarrassing! Changes in goalkeeping were meant to improve defence, right? Confused! We're falling even after investing much in the team, and Im furious that Ten Hag feels secure! His false faith in this disarray is mind-boggling and a slap to supporters.

I expect the same thing in Mbappe career, if he moves to the EPL then Mbappe will form a new axis with Halaand, like the era of Ronaldo and Messi in La Liga. The competition between the two in one competition will become a topic of comparison, who is better than the two. However, we all know that Madrid is number one to get his signature, It seems like Mbappe chances of moving to the EPL are very small, last summer Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United were reportedly interested in recruiting him.

It is difficult to imagine PSG performance if Mbappe left them, even though they will still dominate Ligue 1, it will be very difficult for them to win the European Champions League. I think this speculation will be answered next season, when the transfer market opens and Mbappe will decide his fate.
Currently we have lost a mega star who was able to create competition regarding quality in any league, as we saw when Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi were in La Liga. Mbappe will continue to be linked with Real Madrid because the player himself also said he wanted to play with Real Madrid if he moved from PSG. But I also want to see Mbappe and Haaland's competition in the EPL because it will make their competition and rivalry more prominently discussed even if though there is little chance of Mbappe moving to the EPL after his contract ends at PSG.

It's not too difficult and if they want to chase the Champions League trophy, they have to build a squad like the one Manchester City has and it's impossible for this to be achieved instantly. In the future, they also have to get used to being without Mbappe so that when he leaves it doesn't make this squad worse in Ligue 1 or the Champions League. It requires preparation with young players and their finances should be able to make the project run well like what Manchester City did.
Why do we assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid? Despite his desire to play there, would La Liga be as exciting without Messi and Ronaldo every week? He has proved that he is determined to win the Champions League, which PSG, even with Neymar, Messi, and himself, couldnt achieve. Still, thinking about him playing in the EPL, where the competition is stiff and the weather is so different from Parisian nights, makes me laugh.
3305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't wait for the bottom without buying in the Dip. on: October 04, 2023, 11:32:00 AM
I was thinking that before the end of this year Bitcoin will spike and get to $60k or not lower than $40k or far above it and it has just been my prediction, I also did not think that Bitcoin will even drop bellow the $28k level again this year, but I believe I got disappointed on my assumption and it was really a good thing that my assumption failed, because if it had not, I will not be able to buy bitcoin around $26k and also bought in $25k.



Like I said that this is just a clap of hands to call our attention because I know it concerns us that we need to buy the dip, even if we are waiting for the bottom, but you can still buy the dip and keep it in your portfolio, because Bitcoin price just don't fall in the hands of any man or authority to control. you can be waiting for the bottom and the price of Bitcoin will just begine to go bullish again.

Bitcoin price remained below expectations, but there is always the possibility that Bitcoin will rise quickly. It is necessary to follow the market. Sometimes there may be an instantaneous movement according to the news, but this movement in price is not permanent. There is a possibility that there will be a small movement at the end of this year, but if this movement occurs, I do not think it will be permanent.

Every investor has a price set for the purchase. That's why every investor determines his own bottom price. I think it is a mistake to expect to buy Bitcoin from the bottom. Because it is very difficult to achieve this. If the Bitcoin price rises while you are waiting for the bottom price, you will miss the price you expected.
Sometimes, you're right; we see those rapid, news-driven price spikes. But as you pointed out, they often dont last. Now, here's the thing. Everyone has their magic number, their "bottom price." But you're so right in saying that waiting for that elusive bottom can be a gamble.

If everyone's trying to play the same waiting game, you might end up waiting forever. And if you're waiting, and Im waiting, and she's waiting, who's really buying? If all of us waited for the bottom price, would it ever really come?

My two cents? Stay informed, be vigilant, but also be ready to adapt your strategy. After all, in the volatile world of Bitcoin, nothing's set in stone.
3306  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The Impact of Bitcoin on Economic/Society Growth on: October 04, 2023, 11:10:49 AM
  • Bitcoin transaction saves time and stress. It makes transaction fast and safe, most especially international transactions. Bank transaction has failed there customers several times maybe because of network or something else,another example: people collecting money from ATM machine can testify to this, sometimes you will need this money urgently at that particular time but getting to the bank seeing the queue and population not only that the ATM machine will disappoint you, I have been in this situation before where my card got swallowed by the ATM machine. There was a time my country was suffering from money scarcity due to the changing of old naira notes and to get access to your own money was a problem but I can testify people who got bitcoin sold there bitcoin and they lived there normal lives despite the economic situation at that time.

I feel it doesn’t fit in having to compare or place side by side the bitcoin innovation and the ATM machine. Coming to talk about queues, the machine having to trap your card and the possibility of a transaction declined or failure.
The ATM is a machine that dispenses, make transfers, pay bills and new models can even collect deposits.
Not like bitcoin which is a currency that functions on a blockchain network. They don’t come together! The other dispenses money (fiat) while the other is money in itself.

Again, bitcoin has come to cut through time and space with regards to its nature of transacting and doesn’t necessarily require a third party in making these debit/credit facility possible but, in the phase of acceptability, we most times still need to convert our precious Sats to fiat currencies before it could be accepted by merchants for exchange of products and services.

Hence, I can categorically tell you that, in the phase of fiat scarcity in Nigeria at the time, bitcoin users were very much affected as, you still have to convert these bitcoins to fiat to make it usable with merchants that accept bitcoins not readily available. Doing this, drags you down the lane of going through the slow and limit restricted transactions that was the case at that time.
Hmmm, well, lets think on this a bit.  First, your statement about ATMs and Bitcoin being different is no doubt. Bitcoin's decentralised, peer-to-peer model differs from ATMs, no?  If we think about it, arent both, at their core, facilitators?

One speeds up access to fiat money and restricted financial functions, while the other allows internet transactions over geographical and physical constraints. Dont you believe its a paradigm shift in how we view and use "money" and "transaction"?

As you noted, bitcoin pioneers new financial methods by eliminating tiresome processes and third parties. Bitcoin is still bound by the system it aspires to change, especially in Nigeria, where direct bitcoin transactions with businesses are unavailable.
3307  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin always fight back on: October 04, 2023, 10:51:30 AM
Either way, I think it's generally better for parents to have something left for their children than nothing. It's generally better for a mother and father to think of their children's future and even do some preparations for it. I don't know if this is just in my culture, but it's probably natural even.  
I think what parent(s) should be more emphatic leaving for their children is education. Nothing lasts like education. Nothing gives prestige like education. It's sad that our world now has become more money conscious that virtue enthroned. People can do anything to show affluence, whether ill-gotten or not and that's really appalling.

Of course education is the top priority. That's the first thing to be considered. But that's exactly something that is done at present to prepare them for the future. That's what I've been saying all along. It's expected that parents would look forward to their children's future. You cannot just tell them to live the present. You have to also make sure that their future is somehow bright.

That's the central part of the parents' plan for their children's future. But that doesn't end there. As parents, their intention and determination to somehow prepare the future for them is endless. That's why I completely understand if many parents are betting on Bitcoin for their children's future. I don't know about you, but I myself would also be stacking sats for my children.
Providing children with a stable future is crucial, right? After all, it may balance their life. What if Bitcoin isn't the golden ticket everyone wants?

As a Bitcoin supporter, I like stacking sats for youngsters. Bitcoin has transformed our economy and offered a decentralised financial system. Providing a bright future for our children requires a diversified strategy. Yes, invest in Bitcoin, but what about other life-enriching and educational opportunities?

We should teach children about cryptocurrencies and fiat currencies so they can navigate different economic landscapes. Putting Bitcoin aside for them is fine, but are we teaching children economics, investment, and wealth ethics?
3308  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will be the biggest means of fulfilling dreams in the future. on: October 04, 2023, 10:29:36 AM
Bitcoin will be the biggest means of fulfilling dreams in the future.

Many types of dreams remain in our minds since childhood.  Those who are a bit middle class in this society are more suffering.  Because they see a big dream but cannot make that dream come true.  So for the middle class Bitcoin will be a medium to fulfill the dream.

We can be super rich by having a proper planning of investing in the bitcoin and planning should be according to the trading strategies that we are following,  trading strategies is too much important in all aspects in a way we should considered bitcoin as our star coin, I mean should be in top of our portfolio. If we are going to invest 100%,  in which we should have at least 50%+ of our portfolio consists bitcoin,  but this is a trader's own choice.

Many people got much profit from just the bitcoin as we considered today,  and first they have nothing ,  and today they are at a highest point in their trading journey. So,  bitcoin has always give profit to its Hodlers. And this is to conclude that Bitcoin itself should be trustable,  although the market condition plays some important role in each aspect.
Many have ridden the bitcoin wave from bottom to peak. Lets step back. Do we comprehend why? Not just hype, right? Its blockchain technology and decentralised genius.

Trusting bitcoin and making it your portfolio's crown gem is fantastic. If we're really digging into bitcoin, shouldnt we understand the hows and whys? Tech knowledge could make us knowledgeable evangelists as well as investors.

What if we all hodl bitcoin but never understand its genius? Do we lack a huge component of the puzzle? Market conditions matter, but so does investment acumen, dont you think?
3309  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest in bitcoin and forget the investment on: October 04, 2023, 10:04:00 AM
Buy and Hold is a viable strategy that most investors follow. I am of the opinion that it is wise to invest in Bitcoin and hold it for at least ten years if you actually want to be a millionaire. Bitcoin is a long-term investment. Invest in Bitcoin whenever you have the chance.
At the moment, when the price is down, most investors are fearful and not willing to invest in Bitcoin, but if the price increases, they will all come looking for huge profits, but most of them will fail to do so because the price will be very volatile and could result in panic selling. 

Even if you hold it for 20 or 30 years, it won't make you a millionaire. It also depends on the amount of capital you invest in bitcoin, you cannot expect you to just invest a few thousand dollars in bitcoin and believe that it will make you a millionaire in 10 years. Yes, bitcoin is an investment that will yield good results if held for the long term but there is no guarantee of that so don't assert anything about the future. When talking about investing, not just bitcoin but with any investment, always think about risk rather than just thinking about profit.
This is a good point, even though there are definitely results that are owned when we buy bitcoin and hold it but in the end this also depends on the capital we have and I don't really like this method because I realise that the amount I invested is minimal so instead of buying and forgetting about it I prefer another strategy by buying DCA especially for prices that are still worth buying like when the crash like a few months ago which can be said to be still holding until now so this will be better for my portfolio and I will be quite comfortable with the investment I made.

If you have large financial resources, there is nothing wrong with buying and forgetting until a certain period of time or your desired sales target, but if you have smaller finances, I think just letting it sit will not give optimal results and it would be better to make regular purchases again and again.
The truth is that no approach is flawless, regardless of whether you are the type to buy and hold or the type to buy on a regular basis. The annoying little issue known as market volatility is constantly present. Consistency is crucial, my friend. However, you might counter, "But if I just wait for that sweet spot when the price drops..." hey, maybe you're onto something there.

Would it even exist if everyone waited for that sweet spot? Bitcoin specifically is extremely erratic in the crypto world. Its like attempting to locate that one sock that constantly disappears. But honestly, always do your research and never risk more than you can afford to lose, whether you're buying big or going for the DCA.
3310  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is the ultimate shitcoin for having a useless mining algorithm. on: October 04, 2023, 09:41:54 AM
Okay, I understand your frustration. Satoshi didnt want to progress science. Decentralised value transfer was the goal. Could science have been involved? Perhaps. However, labelling all cryptocurrencies 'shitcoins' may be unfair.

Consider that not all algorithms or procedures benefit society by advancing science. Consider your phone. It doesnt advance research, but it sure simplifies your life, right?

That said, I do see your frustration with the community. However, some of the people you've met may have had bad days or have different viewpoints. Does that make the community or technology "shit"? I doubt it.

Your enthusiasm for science is admirable. However, insults may not be the greatest method to make your argument. Saying "you are pathetic" doesnt help either - so I will not say that

3311  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is this fascination with claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto? on: October 04, 2023, 08:57:49 AM
Putting on such mysterious shoes must be alluring to these "faketoshis," as they're called. They keep appearing, presenting no proof, but claiming Bitcoin's origin narrative.

You ask why. It may not be about controlling the Bitcoin network, but about gaining acknowledgment, approval, or even a strange type of respect in this tight-knit crypto community and beyond. Ironically, our ravenous want for recognition can often trump reason and logic.

Given Bitcoin's decentralised nature, can claiming to be Satoshi gain them influence or respect? As you noted, they'd face several risks?
3312  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin fail if not Peer-to-Peer and self custody? on: October 04, 2023, 08:34:05 AM
If we add a third party, doesnt it kind of, well, ruin the whole point? But lets play devil's advocate for a moment.

Bitcoin was envisioned as this peer-to-peer dream. We all know that. But consider this: even with P2P, arent you using software, hardware, and network resources? Arent these also "third parties" in some sense? Where do we draw the line between whats considered a third party and what isnt?

Now, Im not saying we should accept financial middlemen willy-nilly. What Im saying is, as long as the core principle of decentralization remains, perhaps we can be a bit flexible on the peer-to-peer bit. After all, Bitcoin has evolved since its white paper days, hasnt it?
3313  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Invest only in Bitcoin and never invest in shitcoin on: October 04, 2023, 08:09:37 AM
All part of the crypto experience, right? As everyone knows, Bitcoin sparked the crypto revolution. Its name, its fame, its growth - they've all shaped how we perceive crypto today. However, not all coins are Bitcoin, right? Like you and me, many found altcoins appealing because they thought, "Hey, if Bitcoin can do it, why cant these other coins?" Wow, were some of us wrong.

Investment in "shitcoins" has been a rollercoaster. Some prospered, while others, like you, suffered. But there's always a bright side. Instead of complaining what could've been, learn coin basics before investing. Lack of knowledge is the issue. Read, join internet forums, share experiences, and learn. Every coin has a story, and if we listen, we might not repeat the same mistakes.
3314  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My regret for not adopting bitcoin earlier. on: October 04, 2023, 07:46:22 AM
~
What you say is true, make regrets a valuable lesson (experience) in investing, experience is one of our best teachers. I once felt this when a friend asked me to invest, buy bitcoin regularly every month, with a total capital to buy bitcoin of $250 and my friend also advised me to buy other coins besides bitcoin and I bought doge coin at that price. 0.000208 in January 2017, with capital at that time of $250, but the very fluctuating prices made me afraid of losing my money at that time, with minimal knowledge and not understanding the concept of real money. With me having a total profit at that time of $80 on me, I took all my money and did not continue investing. In 2021, my regret came when Coin Doge surged. After learning more about the bitcoin network and studying the world financial system, I gained enough knowledge for now. Because the financial system is controlled by the government and there are power holders in the family, perhaps what we know is the Rothschild family. It's never too late and this year is our golden opportunity to increase or accumulate bitcoin, this year bitcoin is entering a bearish phase which occurs every 4 years.



Reading your narrative reminds me of those poker nights when you have cold feet before betting. All fun and games till reality, right? Oh, come on. Everyone's been there. Some win, some lose. The real jackpot? Experience. You nailed that one. Even regrets and wasted opportunities are small teachers whispering wisdom in our ears. Your Doge tale? Classic. The entire government-controlled financial system? Rothschilds, shadows, powers... its like a plot for a blockbuster movie, isnt it?

Have you noticed how we dance around this "bearish phase"? Bitcoin, bearish phase, 4 years... feels like déjà vu, doesnt it? The issue? How to avoid Groundhog Day every four years with this crypto cycle? Keep your cards close, absorb your lessons, and gamble and spend wisely!
3315  Other / Off-topic / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 03, 2023, 08:15:51 AM

So my question is, is the percentage of the rich gambling lower than the middle and lower class?
I haven't paid any close attention to the percentage of either the rich, middle class or even the poor in gambling because I believe anyone who is into gambling, is doing so to make money and most times, people say they gamble for fun but I think the fun only comes when there are winnings because there isn't any joy in losing.
I don't think people who gamble do so because they aren't contented with what they already have and relating this to a real work sceneries where we have people who are financially ok but still have to work not because they want to continue working but rather because they have other responsibilities to meet up with and same thing also applies with gambling.
.
Look, you've got a point. However, where is the pleasure in losing your hard-earned money when so many people claim they are doing it for fun? Possibly, the excitement of the pursuit is more important than the money at all. You see, when you place that wager, you experience an emotional upswing, a rollercoaster of hopes and ambitions, and the exquisite thrill of the uncharted.

Its a dangerous slope, though, to apply real-world workplace scenarios to gambling. Although both may experience similar adrenaline rushes, the outcomes and stakes are very different. Both of them have the potential to cause job loss. Your life savings could be lost, so be careful.

Why are there so many gambling methods, tips, and tricks available if gambling is merely for entertainment? Why are people so focused on "winning" if everything is just for fun?
3316  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: October 03, 2023, 07:56:13 AM

In my personal view, talking about someone who is successful in gambling "is not about how much a person can win a bet" but rather talks "about how a person can control himself over the gambling activities he has been doing so far" which is where he is no longer influenced and provoked by the environment or by an offer that might make him do something stupid again when gambling.
Someone who is successful in gambling will never assume that gambling is a money-making machine that can give him profits. and someone who is successful in gambling will never prioritize his gambling activities compared to the responsibilities he is currently carrying out.

The successful gambler will not get addicted to the gambling sites,because he know the gambling is the game.Only the people who don’t know the gambling is the game will start to do the gambling like the money making machine.The fact is the person who think the gambling as the money making machine will always loss the money and the game.Because he do the gambling without the knowledge,he also do the high bet gambling as compared to the gambler was successful in nature.The addicted gambler will do the gambling by taking the loan from their friends to do the gambling which is not a good one.
Knowing and playing the game wisely is crucial. Here's something. Someone who regards gambling like an ATM is setting themselves up for a fall. You know what's fun? Playing it like a game. Have you ever played for fun without expectations? The sweet place. Think about it. Playing a friendly game with friends isn't always about winning big. You're there for fun, company, and thrills. The same with gambling. For fun, you're winning. If everyone treats gambling as a game rather than a money-making machine, won't we hear less humorous stories of over-the-top gambles? A thought! Fun and games till someone goes broke. Play safe.

`

I think that things can be quite good when the person who is a victim of being addicted wants to recover, because if that is the case and they want to get out of it, it is something they already have as an advantage, in this order of ideas things can be flow to be better, of course when you talk about how to do things to have better Chances of doing things, friends and people close to the affected person also come out, the faster the person wants to get out of this, the easier it is for them to follow the instructions, It's difficult when a person is addicted and doesn't recognize it, because basically when things are not discussed about how to deal with it, they go wrong, firstly because the person gets offended and secondly because people who are like that tend to be very determinants, and the mere fact that when a person Usually says something like that, they are capable of getting angry with whoever, then in this order of ideas things tend to get complicated.

I have always said something, when it Comes to casinos and Cases of addiction in people, because things simply tend to go in Other types of Directions , such as lending money to banks, friends, among other things doing 'The situation is more complicated, that's why I say something, if a person practices a Sport, his body and mind will be Busier , he will be a little more tired of his body, and it has been determined, well at least for me, when I do a lot Protect Yourself , because I don't Feel like using my mind while working doing other things , so what I want is to Watch TV, rest, shop more with the family, if that applies to someone who is not an addict, then for an addict who It has all that on the surface because it has to work, for this is what all of us must always prepare ourselves, have a good geti'pon of money, to always be alert not to spend more than we Should , and not Confuse fun with the pressure , Stress and chasing Winning when you Have lost a lot of Money.

Addiction is hard for everyone. Wanting to escape that rabbit hole is a big step. They wanna out? An added bonus! How about some fun gambling? Imagine you're at a casino with a set budget. Be persistent! It's like a diet cheat day. You enjoy without overindulging.

I completely agree about sports! Ever played slot tournaments? Similar to casino sports. The rush and competitiveness are limited! Tricks include setting aside a fun budget. Without chips, you're out. Enjoy, don't splurge, and don't confuse enjoyment with winning back what you've lost.

Suppose the machine glitches and gives you extra coins while you're playing. Do you continue because hey, free money? Or leave with a tale? Remember, it's all about the fun of the game and not the chase.

What do we perceive from the casino's perspective? Businesses run on profits, not wishes. Can we truly believe they're spotless? You mentioned, “Reputable casinos do their strong research...”, but who defines reputation? Do we agree on review websites that encourage casino trust? It's an interesting problem because the house always wins, right? Even though punters and they know it, we dance this everlasting dance. That's captivating. Electronic avatars, shimmering, jingling games, are trusted to be programmed fairly. But if you win too often in their digital halls, maybe they'll find a way to win back?

Gambling, when done responsibly, can indeed be a harmless pastime. You hit the nail on the head when you say many of us do it for the sheer fun of it. But here's the thing: As we age, our tastes, interests, and priorities change. Remember that toy you were obsessed with as a kid? Do you still play with it? Probably not.

If I save every penny I'd potentially lose in gambling from now till Im 60, could I maybe buy a private island? (Or at least a fancy coffee machine, haha!). So, for me, I reckon I'll phase out of gambling by the time Im 50. Not because Im losing interest, but just because there might be new fun waiting to be discovered

The following is the Champions League match schedule for this week and we can see that there will be lots of exciting matches to look forward to. Starting from Napoli vs Real Madrid, then there are the hellish group matches Dortmund vs Milan and Newcastle vs PSG to last season's quarter-final match which is repeated in this round between Inter vs Benfica. I think there will be so many matches that we can bet on, from easy to difficult to predict. It looks like there will be lots of surprises in the match later and those who want to bet make sure to make safe bets so they can still make money.

Does anyone here have any other favorite matches for this week? and what are your predictions about the match later?
This week's Champions League matchups are thrilling! Arsenal and Manchester United have long been my favourites, but this season's unpredictability is keeping everyone guessing. Consider Newcastle. Their recent results, especially in the EFL, are impressive. They'll face PSG, and given PSG's recent struggles, Newcastle should give them a hard time. I think Real Madrid might beat Napoli, despite home advantage. Given Real Madrid's Champions League history and aspirations, they may have the edge.
