341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 17, 2024, 07:09:31 PM
I have high hopes to see Inter and Milan win in their first  match of the season even though, Inter who plays away against Genoa and Milan who plays at home against Torino I also feel is not an easy match. But at least, because Milan and Inter are the two top teams in Serie A and so,they should be able to win their first match this season because I also chose them to win.

It seems that Inter Milan managed to secure the 3 points after scoring the 2nd goal in the 85th minute and now the match goes into extra time, in this match Thuram became man of the match for scoring 2 goals while Martinez has not had a chance. AC Milan will also play their first match today they will face Torina who come as the away team well, here I don't really doubt AC Milan because they are playing at home. But to be honest what I'm looking forward to the most are the other matches like Napoli, AS Roma and Juventus I want to know the quality of the new players who have just arrived this season, will Artem Dovbyk be able to dominate the top scorers list in Serie A?

The match ended in  a 2:2 draw  with J. Messias  scoring the late equalizer after Thuram gave Inter Milan the lead in the 82 minutes. It's a disappointing result for the away team who was supposed to defend the second goal of Thuram knowing fully well that the home team is a very stubborn team but the Inter Milan players were a bit relaxed thinking that they have won the game when they got the second goal but they have been shocked as a result of their own mistakes.

Looking forward to seeing how AC Milan game will come out tonight they are not going to find it easy to beat Torino but their home advantage should be able to help them get the 3 point.
Bisseck was the cause of the equalizer because he made an handball when he was about to head the ball inside their own box. The goal gave both teams a point and I don't see this as a good start for Inter. Genoa tried their best to make sure that they share point with Inter at home. Thuram scored two goals and that shows how in form he is this season.

Milan VS Torino match is ongoing and Leao is having a good moment on the field and creating good opportunities that he can use to find the back of the net but he hasn't yet.

City - 3.25
Real - 3.95
Arsenal - 9.85
Liverpool - 11.10
Bayern - 12.70
Barcelona - 13.10
PSG - 16.80

Odds that are not too different from last season where last season the position was almost the same where Manchester City and Madrid remained the favorites for this competition and I think it is quite reasonable for the odds of several other big clubs even though they are also big clubs but for the Champions League we can actually see the difference where other clubs are below Madrid and Manchester City especially with the condition of several clubs such as Barcelona, ​​PSG and Bayern which this season they are in a transition phase with their internal then their odds are not surprising. But in this case we cannot close the fact that there are always surprises that occur just like 2 seasons ago Inter and Dortmund who were in the final this is still possible to happen.
It is not strange that Real Madrid and Manchester City are the favorites with the smallest odds, showing that their chances are much greater to get a victory, with the players they have today certainly very confident to be able to compete until the final line, these two have always been strong candidates.

Anything can happen during the journey of a season ahead, whether it's injury, internal conflict and make a team experience a setback in terms of performance and also do not rule out the possibility of strength awakening from a team that we cannot imagine like Dortmund last season, people do not expect that far, but that's how the competition goes, there are always surprises.
What I am surprised at is why Manchester City is the number one according to the bookmakers because to me, I see Real Madrid having a better advantage of winning UCL that Manchester city and I do3need anyone to tell me that.

However, I believe that no one is perfect and as time passes by the odds will be changing na sed on the performance of the clubs. I think it will be another victorious season for Madrid because of the superb squad in their team, it will be difficult for any club to win them.

This is very sad. He won $3000 and he was attacked. The robbers will know that he won that money and wanted to take it all from him and shot him twice on his legs. It is good that the robbers are known and they should be sentenced to prison.

This is the reason I prefer online casinos. In online casinos, there is still some privacy in a way that if you win and you do not tell anyone, no one will know.
Same with me, I prefer a private gambling life for security purposes because if you only gble online no matter how huge you win is, you will get your money without anyone knowing that you won such amount of money because everything will be done online.

I feel for the victim because his happiness didn't last and it turned into pain and sorrow. Offline casinos are good but when it comes to your safety, you are on your own. I believe the robbers were in the casino when he won the money and they followed him from there.

that's why it sucks when your internet gets disconnected in the middle of a game. I've experienced the same thing before, but on my end, there was a blackout in my area so my computer turned off and when the electricity finally came back and I logged in to the game the bonus round was over.
I wouldn't blame anyone on this issue of internet disruption during your gambling section or power failure because that is nobody's fault as the casino is running 24hrs without any interruption from their own side.

I don't think that is was the internet challenge that made you to lose your bet but your bet was bound to be lost. If the OP, is not cool with what happeebd to him on his slot game, he should look for another game to gamble and entertain himself with. I will still continue playing slot because gambling is based on luck.

Ipswich showed good strength in the first half and I like the fact they were able to hold Liverpool but going into the second half, Ipswich was unable to maintain same spirit they started with and Liverpool found the back of their net as Diogo Jota scored in the  60th minute after an assist from Mohammed Salah and just after 5 minutes Mohammed Salah recorded his name in the score sheet. If peradventure the match ends in 2:0 or Liverpool scores more goals, they will be topping the table pending other results between today and tomorrow.
The next game in line is the Arsenal vs Wolves.
Arsenal, would they start their season in a grand style today against Wolves?  Or would Wolves be a tough nut to crack?
Being an Arsenal fan, I am very interested in this game and currently following it up online, can't watch the match as I am not at home currently, it's already around 12 minutes into the game and non of the clubs have scored a goal yet, though this is highly expected since not just the game, but also the tournament is just starting for most of the clubs, which simply means that the current ongoing match is the very first for this season.

Right now, it's hard to tell who would win as I personally don't want to be too forward in saying Arsenal would win the match, but then, both team seems to be moving on nicely with the game Arsenal is gradually building their stats and currently sits at 58 percent possession and 83 passes, while wolves as expected have lesser numbers with 42 percent possession and 64 passes, shots on Target 1 for Arsenal and 0 for wolves.

I look forward to a great game for Arsenal, but first, let's see how the first half will end.
Wow... What a beautiful header from Havertz after he received a super cross to his head by Saka. Arsenal have broken the deadlock on the 25th minutes to put Arsenal on the lead.

Arsenal is on possession and in dominance of y e match which led to their goal. Wolves is also trying to see how they can equalize the goal and put themselves back in the game. A good start Arsenal in their first match and I believe that 3 points is sure for them. Arsenal playing at home is a good advantage to them.

Arsenal 1-0 Wolves.

Just recently seen this but few casino offering this kind of user friendly feature for those people who knows the possible outcome of the game it's a good thing because they can now make a cutloss to their game insteading lossing all you have an option to partially have at least with your wage amount, other casino just offer once you put already your money it's all about winning or lossing the game. This feature not offering full payment cash out to their players of course so they can still earn with this feature or be like consider as fee.
The cash out option is in favor of both the gambler and the bookie because if the gambler decided to cash out, it shows that he appreciates the little profits that he has already made on the games that came out as predicted and that gives him an option to walk away with his little profit or continue playing. It is just like a gambler gambling in a casino and is on his winning streak and decided to continue playing because he feels his luck will continue shinning instead of walking away.

On the other hand, the casino will also be prevented from paying huge should incase all the game comes out as predicted. But from my own point of view, the cash out feature is more in favor of the casino.

Looks like Manchester united won't be able to take home this three points available in their first leg game with Fulham, I was thinking that Manchester united after their preparation at the pre-season games, that Fulham would have been an easy opponent team side to win, but seem they're finding it difficult to defeat Fulham at this point, and if this happens will be a very bad start of the season for Utd team if this game ended in a draw.
Am glad they won the match today but it's just going to be for some hours before Arsenal wins tomorrow with more goal points and tops the league. However, it's so funny that Manchester United was able to score just one goal in the match, the first team to win a match this season, the first team to secure three points and stay top 1 in the EPL table but at the end won't win the EPL title.

The performance I saw today against Fulham was not what I expected. They were supposed to win them without stress, but they were lucky to score today.
Rashford and Amad started the first half and they were unable to make a proper game work in order to score a goal but if you observed after their substition bring in Gnarcho and Joshua, these two players were able to work things out and created a golden chance which Zirkzee didn't miss the net and Gnarcho made the assist.

It is good that United started the season with victory but they need to improve in their performance because Fulham is not a team that should give them much difficult time before scoring just one goal. They will only top the league toady and go down tomorrow because they only scored one goal.
348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: August 16, 2024, 07:56:29 PM
Manchester United vs Fulham

Manchester United XI: Onana; Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Mazraoui; Casemiro, Mainoo; Amad, Fernandes, Mount, Rashford.

Fulham XI: Leno, Tete, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Pereira, Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Muniz.

This is the first match of the Premier League season, let see what Manchester United have to offer, can they be able to beat Fulham and climb the top of the table for few hours because they can with stand the pressure of the top.

The match is looking very hot as expected but the home team Manchester United is yet to take charge of the game as the home team so for now the game has been in an equal state. The Fulham team has made a very good attempt through Tete all thanks to Onana for making a crucial save to prevent the ball from entering the back of the net.

28 minutes already gone and the home team is yet to have a shoot on target, I think Manchester United needs to be very careful if they don't wnat to share a point in this game because they are doing more of defending instead of attacking the visitors to commit them to get   an opening goal.
An impressive performance from United and a good save from Onana in the first half but I don't like it when United do miss their goal opportunities. Bruno missed a good one on one chance that he was supposed to use in scoring at least one goal to put United on the lead and giving them a good advantage of winning the game.

It was a goalless first half and I see that Casemiro is active in the match because his presence is felt. I hope to see one side scoring in the scond half and if United don't improve their performance and work towards scoring they might not win their opening match and that will be sad.

Have you ever attended a Bitcoin meetup in Nigeria? How was your experience? If you were to host your own event, what improvements would you make?

Additionally, do you feel the meetup was worthwhile, or did it seem like an opportunity for attendees to show off who has the largest bitcoin? Was the event intellectually stimulating, leaving you motivated to accumulate more Bitcoin and contribute to the growth of the  community, or did it fall short of your expectations, leaving you feeling frustrated and disappointed that you show have stayed at home or did something important rather than wasting you your time going there?


This post is inspired the topics in the Meetups board.
Bitcoin meet-up is not a place to tell anyone if you have bitcoin or not, it will be done for those hosting it to advertise and sell whatever product that they have and someone new to crypto will learn something, if possible you can have a new friend through socializing.

I don't like going to such places because I always love to keep my involvement in bitcoin a secret from strangers and people that I don't trust for security reasons. Whatever I know about bitcoin was learnt from the day I joined this forum.

Maybe this is still in context and honestly I am happy to see Mbappe win his first European title elsewhere. Smiley

What would have happened if Mbappe had stayed at PSG? Of course it is impossible for him to win a European title and with this Supercup title, one of many to come will be created. We can see from the hundreds of matches with PSG that he has never gotten what he has wanted for a long time and once he played for another club in his first match he immediately got his dream.

The right decision from Mbappe by joining the Spanish giants and what would have happened if he had stayed at PSG for years and only chased the money, maybe he would have grown forever as a player with a large income and minimal European level trophies.
Paris Saint Germain was only superior in the Domestic League, when they went to Europe, they could not make much to win a title. In the Champions League they are almost every season there, but there is no achievement they can get. Their best note while in the Champions League is to become runner up in the 2019/2020 season. As one of the clubs that once had a luxurious squad, it was clear that something was not good for them and it confirmed that they were very difficult in big competitions.

Mbappe has made a good choice, if he decided to go in the previous season then he could have gotten the Champions League title. A little late but this is not a problem because he is here. His career as a footballer is very bright, especially now he is already in a club that dominates the Champions League with 15 titles they won. I think that in the near future he will also get another pretension (near what I mean is 1 or 2 seasons at Real Madrid).
Mbappe said that Real Madrid is a club of trophies because his first game brought him his first European trophy for playing in a club. Real Madrid is the dream of all players that are super stars and have the zeal to lift European trophies in a short period of time unlike other clubs that the probability of them lifting European trophy is 50-50.

Mbappe will be very happy that he came to Real Madrid because he will be more successful in his football career now that he is in Real Madrid compared to any other club in Europe. PSG is only a local champion and cannot win any trophy outside their territory showing that they are not as big as they present themselves even though they are very rich.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2024/25 on: August 16, 2024, 04:45:32 PM
Every
It wasn't just Olmo who had problems registering for the season, but three other players namely Martinez, Torre, Pau Victor and Alex Valle and it's unclear what will happen now.
If Barcelona need 60 million to register Olmo then Laporta is in big trouble.
It's good that at least Ansu Fati and Langlais could be registered and now in case of sale or rent, Barcelona can spend the money according to the rule “1+1”, but still I think 60 million will not be easy for Barcelona to find before the start of the season.

Every season, there are reports that Barcelona cannot register their players so they might have to send them on loan or sell them, but every season Barcelona always register their players. I think these things are stale now because there is no way a club like Barcelona will sign a player when there is no way to register that player. Remember when they couldn't register Lionel Messi, they didn't bother giving him a new contract. Barcelona will still register all their players. 


At the moment Danny Olmo is still not registered and will not take part in Barcelona's first game against Valencia and I think that if Barcelona could have registered him, they would have done it already, because it is unlikely that Barcelona would have paid 60 million euros for him.
Although Flick says that Olmo is not fit yet, but I think it is just a formal excuse, because Olmo played his last match more than a month ago in the final of the European Championship and it is unlikely that he has not had time to recover yet.
I don't think that Barcelona challenge is the funds to seal up the deal of Olmo and I will believe everything Flick says about Olmo health condition because I don't see any reason why signing Olmo is on the media when they don't have the funds at hand to seal up the deal.

It will be a mess if it is a no true because Barcelona is bigger than this. Like I said in my previous post on Olmo, if he doesn't play the first match doesn't mean that Barcelona will not win the match because we have not watch him play with the team even though I know he is a goodbye player. Meaning currently he has no impact yet on the team which has been proven.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: August 16, 2024, 03:37:17 PM
Expectations are high for Mbappe. I am sure he will experience a lot of goal celebrations in La Liga. There are many players in the back who will feed him. I think Mbappe can finish the season with close to 30 goals after these players feed him well. I congratulate President Perez for crowning the great squad in Real Madrid with the best. Mbappe will play exceptionally in this team.
Not only the defenders will contribute to Mbappe, but Luka Modric will also be a defender who I think can be questioned for his contribution, because from his feet it will be a deadly pass for the opponent to supply Mbappe to the opponent's goal, so it is not surprising that in yesterday's match Real Madrid was able to defeat Atalanta easily, even though Atalanta had given significant resistance, Real Madrid was actually stronger than the Italian club.
Hold on, dude. I'm only wondering since when Luka Modric has been a defender? He was playing as CM/AM. Modric was not even playing as a DM. It's hard to know your intention by saying it. And you should never doubt Modric's contribution to Madrid. he'd been lifting bunches of trophies even before Mbappe was getting into PSG and join in Madrid.

It seems you're not even reading the post you're quoting above.
How do you detect someone with little or no knowledge about football games but just struggling to get along. It's by their comments and this is one of many I read here. Designating Luka Modric as a defensive midfielder is very laughable. Modric even with his age is still regarded as one of the best central  midfielder Real Madrid has ever had, delivering the ball with both left and right foot like no other.

It's either he didn't read the post he's replying to or probably want to talk about another player and not Modric exactly. Grin
Modric won Ballon D'or after he led Croatia to win in 2019 and that shows that he is a good defensive midfielder and also one of the best that you could think of. It is not al players that will b we able to still keep fit even as he is aging.

I have always admire his outstanding skills and that was why you see that Real Madrid gave him an additional one year contract to keep him because he is a player that you can count on whenever he is on the pitch. He is full of experience and has excellent passes.

I have seen in this forum that some members mine bitcoin testnet and give it out for free to whoever wants to use it on their project or to learn with it because it is valueless.

It will be funny for any gambler to use bitcoin testnet for gambling just like it will be useless for any investor to buy bitcoin testnet and keep hodli as an investment instead of using it for their experiments. I will not gamble with bitcoin testnet when there is real bitcoin and USDT.

There is no need for your pastor to invest in bitcoin from his monthly stipense if he is retiring soon as you said, because I don't think he will be able to make anything out of his investment and I see that as gambling. Bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, therefore anyone investing now as a new investor must plan to invest and hodli for 4-10 years with regular DCA purchase for him to make profit in future.

Let your pastor think of something else and not bitcoin because he will run at loss if he invest on short term like he said, especially if bitcoin price dips. Also bitcoin investment is not a shopping mall where you can feed from daily.
355  Economy / Speculation / Re: Road to 100k? on: August 15, 2024, 09:45:07 PM
it's not just about waiting and anticipating Bitcoin to hit $100k that matters, it's more of buying and building a good portfolio before it even gets to that price that matters the most.

There are plenty of newbie bitcoin investors who are already accumulating bitcoin in the past recent years who are ONLY able to buy so much bitcoin per week, and so they will still be accumulating bitcoin once bitcoin reaches $100k and beyond.

There will also be plenty of brand new entrants to bitcoin who will be accumulating bitcoin at $100k and beyond, so there will be plenty of folks who had not been able to accumulate enough or close to enough bitcoin in the sub-$100k prices.

Perhaps thinking about accumulating as many BTC as you can in sub-$100k prices, but don't be deterred from ongoingly accumulating BTC whether BTC prices are even supra-$100k, especially if you are still in your BTC accumulation stages.

Definitely, new investors will keep entering at any price at all because it may be at that particular time they got the got the confidence to invest because there are a lot of people that is still being doubtful about the price of Bitcoin like they are scared if the price of Bitcoin can still skyrocket again more especially now that the price hasn't had much increase in price so some people will be monitoring the activities of Bitcoin price so when it eventually increases or reaches a new ATH, they will want to come in at that time with the beliefs that it will keep skyrocketing but it will be lack of experience for someone to monitor the price of Bitcoin before they invest.
        Newbies will continue to come in to invest at any price point maybe that was the time they got the conviction to invest so it's no big deal, the most important thing is too accumulate as much as they can whenever they find it convenient to invest whether it reaches $100k or not. Majority of people are still in the accumulating stages of their investment so even when the price hits $100k there will still be accumulators.
As long as bitcoin network is still working new investors will always buy bitcoin at different prices in future and even old investors because bitcoin is a commodity. As the years loss passes on so will be price of bitcoin increase which is why it is better that we use the opportunity that we have now to keep on accumulating bitcoin so that when the price will be higher in future, we will not be worried but happy because we have accumulated a good size of bitcoin in our portfolio.

Early investors who bought bitcoin very cheap at the price range of $400-$1000 did not know that bitcoin will reach this price so quick and they are happy that they bought a good number of bitcoin early. But for those who thought that investing in bitcoin was a waste of time and that bitcoin who crash did not invest at that time, will be investing now in regrets because they missed the opportunity that bitcoin presented to them.

This is how it will still keep on repeating itself for people who have the money now but don't want to use the time to invest in bitcoin and grow their bitcoin investment overtime in order to reach their bitcoin target. If bitcoin prices reaches $500k, that is when some people sleeping now will want to start investing. Let bitcoin price not discourage you from investing in bitcoin now if you know that you love to invest in bitcoin as an asset because you will invest later when the price will be higher than this.

100k is just a figure and I know that a lot of us will still go on with our regular DCA when the price is above 100k because I am still accumulating and will love to reach my bitcoin target no matter the years it will take amd the price at which bitcoin will be because I am planning to use my bitcoin investment as my pension. No matter how expensive an asset is, there are people who will still be buying.

a pretty good buy for man united, hopefully these two defenders can help the red devils defense in the premier league and other competitions, man united spent 60 million euros for two people, that's a good expense, and ten hag is trusted by management to choose his recruits in full, hopefully this season erik ten hag will not disappoint man united supporters, and can compete.

on the other hand manchester united will face fulham in their first match, de ligt can be played considering luke shaw is injured.
Manchester united last season suffered often from the fact that their defence was so bad while their key defenders where often injured and this season they are really doing well fixing that problem by getting more defenders, I expected them to sign more after their new signing Lenny Yoro was injured during pre season, good buy though all they hope is for them to turn out great once the season kicks off now especially with no unfortunate injuries set backs.
Yes we know, last season Man United showed a bad defense and was not a club that was able to compete, with the line-up of players at that time it was indeed called a club with talented players, but in reality it was just nonsense and did not present the Premier League title, only able to finish in 8th position at the end of the season. Ten Hag was unable to take advantage of it, this season the overhaul occurred again, full control in the hands of Ten Hag with the trust of the Red Devils management, the arrival of De Ligt and Mazraoui is highly expected to add depth to the squad. another thing I disagree with you and consider lenny yoro as a failed purchase for manchetser united.
Last season was a season of injuries and disappointment from the United and the coach should not be blamed for all that because he cannot go and play on the field but to do his coaching job. However, all blames was pointed to Thebes coach for the poor performance of United and that is why some players were signed to improve the performance of the team this new season.

Yoro is not a failed purchase because he is only on injury and will recover back soon. It is a norm for players to have injury but not a norm for such young player not to be in his good from after recovery which means that Yoro will defend United with his best performance after recovery and will na men the club proud of bringing him over.

looking at some daily news on football I would like to bring to your attention the lukalu-napoli topic, it seems that these are decisive times for the purchase of the player that napoli and antonio conte are really interested in taking regardless of the transfer of Osimhen , twenty-five million plus five bonuses to Chelsea for Lukaku, but Chelsea wants 43 million and a permanent transfer won't be easy!

Napoli are trying to be smart in this transfer and Chelsea are not ready to condone that smartness because it’ll be at their own great loss after this season. Lukaku is not a young player anymore and any team that signs him will just get to use him for few seasons and then dump him again. Maybe Napoli will only utilize him for just a season or one more and they’re done with him, so they don’t want to pay a high fee for an aged player like him. Chelsea is also avoiding not selling him now and giving him out on loan and lose the potential chance of selling him high now. So both clubs wants to favor their interest and that’s making it very hard for a deciding to be made so far in this deal.

I still feel that making an exchange between Lukaku and Osimhen is the best way because after all, Conte also really wants to bring in Lukaku but Napoli are also not ready to buy an old player at a high price. However, if we consider that Chelsea still needs forward players, then of course bringing in Osimhen by exchanging him for Lukaku would be a good choice.

Because after all, Chelsea is also basically focused on maximizing young players and as such, it would be good if Chelsea brought in Osimhen. But indeed, what doesn't make sense is that Chelsea really wants to get benefits from Lukaku, so this means that this transaction never gets an agreement.
That is just the problem Chelsea have that is not making the deal to be sealed because they want to make profit from Lukaku which should not be so. Though, I will not blame them for such idea because Napoli is also making a huge profit fom Osimhen.

It is better that whatever these two clubs have should be concluded because a new season is kicking off tomorrow so that these two clubs can have the players to start playing for the clubs ASAP for balance and focus on the title race.

Real Madrid's squad will be preparing for all kinds of trophies in the new season this year, with them ready to compete no matter what team they play. They have become the strongest team in this new season, because the attack department has more experienced players including Vinicius Jr., Mbappe, Rodrigo, especially the defense department of Real Madrid team is stronger.

Actually Real Madrid are now complete with better squad, which means they have prepared ahead of next coming season to compete with any clubs, because even before the team is doing well and now that they have signed up the Mbappe again the they will not have so much challenge, since currently their know lackeof players anymore there ready to fight any opponent next season.

Moreover, we shall be wait and see what the season can come with, since the season is almost about to start let us never make the early predictions, but all I know is that even thought Real Madrid will face challenges it will not that much because they also have the great defense that will maintain the home for them well.
Since the days when Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema, Kroos and Modric played in Real Madrid it have not had such a great selection of players as they have now.
To be honest, even Mbappe when we see how Bellingham plays doesn't seem like an exceptional player, I even thought that Bellingham played so well in the second half and made such quick passes that Mbappe couldn't always keep up with him, and when Real scored the first goal, it was Valverde, not Mbappe, who got the rebound, even though it was his position.
In general, this season with a probability of 80-90% Real should be the winner of La Liga. 
If you look at the way the match went, you will see that Bellingham has a stronger bond to Vinicius when he is always with the ball, they understand their next move because they have played together to quite some time. Mbappe just got into the club and is still learning how to understand the players better and that was why you saw that Bellingham is giving Mbappe the ball he don't alway keep up with it.

As time passes by these two players would understand themselves better and that is when the destructions will be done on any club that they play with. Goalkeepers will regret meeting Real Madrid. I saw the happiness in Mbappe when he scored because he is very much happy in Real Madrid and welcomed with a warmed heart.

The bad news about the new player of Barcelona, Dani Olmo is he is going to be absent in the first game of this season. According to some sources, Barcelona said he registered his contract and he doesn't have any problem playing for Barcelona in the game they are going to have against Valencia. But Dani Olmo's contract is not registered yet and on the other hand, Flick prefers to use Dani Olmo when he's in the good form.


I don't think that should be any serious issue for Barcelona because Olmo will not be playing their first match, we still have a lot of matches till the end of the season in which Olmo will play and display hi s quality skills and contributions for the victory of Barcelona over the clubs that they will be playing with.

Missing the first match and some few matches will not be the reason why Barcelona performance will not be superb because initially Barcelona was playing without him and they were doing fine. He is now in Barcelona is the most important thing because that was what they wanted.

Have you ever tried something like this and gambled without a casino?

This form of gambling is very common in my place. I have played several with my friends, but we didn't gamble with it; it was just a mere competition for fun. But I know some groups of gamblers that play the same kind of game for the sake of gambling; they stake real money, and whoever wins will take the money. Sometimes too, they could have the audience watching them and staking on an individual player who they think is going to win the competition.



It's the same for me. I've gambled for so many hours with friends over beer and pizza. We spent so many happy evenings back when I was in college and every weekend was a time to celebrate. Basically Fridays were the time to get drunk and play some poker, unless the weather was good enough that we'd go to pubs, or there was football on TV Cheesy

All those who say gambling is bad should try it. Play a poker game with your friends. Bet a few bucks. Use the smallest bills you have, or coins, those are even better. We'd play the equivalent of 50c as a small blind. No harm done, lots of laughs when someone was caught bluffing.
It is fun gambling with your friends in a traditional way because that makes the bond stronger. I could also remember way back when I and my friends will be gambling with the little funds being given to us for lunch during break time in school.

We keep this money by saving it for what we want to buy but when we are opportune to gamble, we take part of that money and place our bets on dice games and poker. One fun thing is that whoever wins at the end of the day will refund little amount back to everyone.
