It's been an extraordinary year so far for Girona. They lost to Atletic Bilbao and with this defeat, they were defeated only 3 times in the league. 2 of these defeats came from Real Madrid. So they did wonders in the league. I think they will continue in the league in the top 4 places. I'm sure they'll get their UCL ticket at the end of the year, and they totally deserve it.
The defeat against Bilbao not only made Real Madrid more comfortable at the top but also made the city team from Girona, namely Barcelona, increasingly able to catch up with the existing points difference. Barcelona must be very happy with Girona's defeat because it will be easier for them to compete with Real Madrid again. I know that the difference between Barcelona and Real Madrid is 8 points and therefore they must first be able to overtake Girona before returning to action to enliven the title race.
Competing with Real Madrid is not the problem, because Barca will only remain on the second position, if Girona lose one more game and Barca wins theirs. Real Madrid is already the winner of the league this season and nothing can be done to stop them. This is. Ecause I don't see Real Madrid losing any match, they might draw. Barca is not that strong for one to say that they will not lose some upcoming matches, and this makes it impossible for them to think that they can compete the title race with Real Madrid.

Anyway, some will say it is just a superstitious belief but what if it keeps on happening?
How about you? Do you have that one day when you feel like you are not even winning whatever you do or whatever game you play?
I will advise you to stop gambling on Wednesday if it use to be a day of loss for you.
I don't have a special day that I have observed that use to be my lucky day. I win any day and run at loss any day. I gamble for fun and most times, it use to be during the weekends because I am a sportbet fan. I have one in straight one week some years ago, that was when I know that luck plays a major role in gambling. OP, you should gamble only on your lucky day, because if I was in your shoes, this is what I will do.

Nigeria government should be ashamed of themselves because they are on their official seats doing nothing and only thinking on how to steal and spend the country's funds, and nobody has done anything to them. Why didn't EFCC go and arrest Tinubu for the high rate of hardship in the country, or why don't they go and arrest Dangote, that is selling a bag of cement for 12k,or abi Dangote dey go import him cement, or na dollar we dey use buy cement. The government are just faking it as if they are doing something to change the situation, when they know that it is not the solution. Why didn't EFCC also go and arrest the banks, or are they not also trading dollars. This country leaders are deceitful.

OP, it is like you are using the amount of money that you can not afford to lose to gamble, and this is why you are not happy that you are runni g at loss. However, nobody will love to thro away money but there are some amount of money that if you misplace or give out to someone you don't know, wouldn't bother you. You should gamble with little amou t of money that u ou will not get worried over if you lose the game. Also have a gamble budget that you can use for only your gambling activities, so that when the money is exhausted, you can stop gambling until you topit again. Gambling is fun and you should be excited when having fun.

The match has started, but it’s not an easy one for the two clubs. Both Manchester City and Brentford already have a nice opportunity. Manchester City are currently finding it difficult to break Brentford's defense, Brentford's defense is just too tight, but Manchester City is not a club that any club is supposed to be playing a defensive game with when they are not winning yet. Manchester City have a dangerous striker, which they will end up finding their way to break their opponents  defense. We are just in the first half of the match, but am sure Manchester City will do everything possible to win the match.
The first half was almost over, but neither of them had scored any goals. For Man City, we need a goal.
It was quite satisfying to see Man City dominating the match but still not being able to score a goal. Of course, scoring goals won't be that easy. But on the other hand, this is Man City, the opponent is Brentford, if the results continue like this, then what's the difference between Man City and lower clubs which don't have big players in them.  Grin Grin Grin

But I still believe that Man City will win this time. They can't possibly waste any more chances to just draw. Unless there is something wrong with them.
It was a goalless first half as Brentford defense frustrated Manchester city players and denied them several goals. Brentford only missed one opportunity by Onyeka, but they were able to hold down city pressure for 45mins without allowing them to find the back of the net. I know that Brentford wouldn't be able to stop Manchester city from finding the back of the net for 90mins. The second half should be a breakthrough for City if they really want to win this game, and they need to find a way to break the deadlock, so that they can score more goals.

Like what other investments? what investment is better than bitcoin?

No, not better, just safer. I think I need a safer investment as a backup for emergencies, like gold. I need to have land assets to survive (make a house, grow crops). If investing in stocks or real estate, of course it is no better than bitcoin

Having other assets is also a preventative step so that we don't rush to sell our bitcoins when there is an urgent need

You seem to be talking about down the road in your investment journey rather than any kind of investment prerequisite before getting started in terms of investing into bitcoin.

Yes, I just think that I can't invest 100% in bitcoin. Maybe I want to have an investment portfolio like 10% cash, 10% gold, 30% land, and 50% bitcoin. At least this is a percentage and risk that I think is quite safe
From the way you sound, it like you are a rich guy, but if you are not, then you don't want to be realistic with yourself. Apart from cash and bitcoin, that one can have possession to even the poor. Gold and land properties are expensive to get as a poor or average person, which makes it like a dream that may/may not come true. Bitcoin has given the privilege to everyone to invest in irrespective of status whether rich or poor. It is easy to start investing in bitcoin, as long as you have a means of income. Keeping aside your emergency funds, monthly expenses and reserve funds is all you need, and from there any left over can be put into bitcoin investment regularly through DCA. Before you know it your bitcoin stash will keep increasing as long as you hodli for a very long term. You should also understand that bitcoin gives the highest profit than any other investment that you can think of. When you have reach your bitcoin target, or close to your bitcoin target, when you feel that you have enough bitcoin in your possession, you can diversify into land, or gold. It will be a distraction for you to think that you can start up two investments at the same time. You must first achieve one before the other, and that is why bitcoin invest is the easiest to get started when you are prepared for it, you should also note that investment is made for a long period of time for great results. All that you mentioned is what everyone will desire to have as their investment but we might not be able to have them all, but with investing on bitcoin first might gives a higher advantage of you investing in all of them.

Gamble is either you win or lose, and nothing more. I can only agree with you that majority of gamblers loss more than they win. but there are very few gamblers who have won more than they lost, and even use the gamble win, to set up a business. Discipline is what will determine how you spend your money on gambling. It is better that you use little money to gamble that would be like nothing to you, so that you will not see it as a loss, and if peradventure, you hit the jackpot, it means that you have won more than you lost. The fact remains that, it is very difficult to win big.

Bilbao has taken the lead on the second minutes of the match. Alex Berenguer was the one that scored the early goal, this is an advantage for Athletic to see if they can win the match.

On the other hand Girona is not pleased with that early goal, and they have been dominating the match and winning possessions. They are well balanced in the game and it seems that they will be able to equalize the goal in this first half. Athletic has a good defense, and Girona is finding it difficult to penetrate, which has become on of their problem.

Athletic is now looking for the second goal but a good chance was lost by Inaki Williams.

Bilbao 1-0 Girona.

Interesting fact: This is the match between a team whoever only lost once at home against a team whoever lost only once when away.
Bilbao vs Madrid: 0-2 and Madrid vs Girona: 4-0
I guess this match gonna end with 2-0 or 2-1, Bilbao really strong at home - they always win at home since November (6 times/league)
Atletico have not lost any of their last 12 games, they have won 9 matches and draw three. They have won their last six games on a roll. Athletic do not need to many attacks, what they do is just a long ball, and they will have two or three players to do the job. Girona needs to take the second half of this game very serious if they really want to have the hope to be part of the title race with Real Madrid. This is because if they can win the game, it will be that Girona is three points behind Real Madrid, but if they lose the match, six points is very big to close. Girona tried their best in the first half but it wasn't good enough to give them an equalizing goal. Athletic is thinking on how they could qualify to the Champions League while Girona is thinking of closing the gap between them and Milan. A superb early goal has made the difference in this match. Athletic is not in possession of the game but they have had more shots, and shots on target than Girona who took 65% of game possession.

De Rossi is doing a great job in Roma, he has only lost to Inter since his arrival at Roma as the manager. A wonderful victory for Roma against Frosinone, as the match ended 3-0. The visitors took possession of the game and Dean Huijsen opened the scoreline on the 38th minutes, to end the first half 1-0. It was in the second half that Roma played better and they were able to score two goals. The second goal was scored by Azmoun on the 71st minutes of the game after much effort, with a brilliant finish. Roma won a penalty and it was scored by Paredes on the 81st minutes, two goals in ten minutes. Roma is now on the 6th position, and I believe that if they continue winning their matches, they will definitely go to the champions league next season.

Less than 30 minutes Manchester United is already leading with 2 goals. I can see how protective Luton has been playing. They want to score more goals to protect the glory of their fans since it is their home. Regardless of that they are also struggling to see if they may end the game with a draw or win..

Manchester United has been playing extremely well in their last three games. I wont be surprised if they win this game. The red devils are truly up and doing these days. However, the hope of winning the league is no more there but they have to qualify for next season UCL so they need to be among the first five finishers.
Man United is leading 2-1 for the time being, but in terms of performance, Luton is still much better than Man United. I think if Man United continues to play like that in the second half, then it will provide a good opportunity for Luton to catch up or even turn things around. As we saw in the first half, Man United seemed to be playing without a well-organized rhythm. There were no good passes and they even seemed to be in a rush when building attacks, so it wasn't difficult for Luton to anticipate it.
It wasn't an easy first half for Man United, no matter that they took advantage of the early minutes to score two goals.Luton has been a treat to Man United since the last 25mins of the first half, as they were in control of the ball and pressuring Man United to see if they can equalize the second goal. I didn't expect that Man United would be able to withstand their pressure till the end of the first half but luckily for United, they could defend the lead till the end of the first HALF. If Man United wants to win this match, they need to play better than the way that they played in the first half, and avoid any careless foul that can lead to a red card. Casimero needs to be very careful because he has been booked on a yellow card, and if he makes any foul again might lead to a red card. The second half will be more entertaining than the first half, and I just hope that Man United will be able to survive from the hands of their host and win the match, because the three points is needed.

What an early goal for Manchester united as Hojiluud scored the first goal in the match on the 1st minutes of the game, due to the error made by Luton defender. It will take Luton a lot to correct that error to equalize the game. Manchester united is really taking advantage oof the early goal as Rashford almost score another goal but it hit the goal post. Luton needs to be careful so that they don't concede a lot of goals in the first 20 minutes of the match. Gnarcho has scgored the second goal on the 6th minutes with a good strike. A wonderful start for Manchester united. Two goals in 6mins.

Luton 0-2 Man United.

Juventus have equalized the goal scored by Michael Folorunsho on the 11th minutes. It was equalized with a penalty kick played by Vlahovic, who played a beautiful shot into the left side of the post to give his club the hope of winning the match, if they take the match serious. This is because Juventus defense is not as strong as it used to be and Verona defense is very strong that Juventus was finding it hard to breakthrough,but they were lucky that Verona defender did a handball inside his box. The match is on and it is still Verona 1-1 Juventus.

The home team are doing very well but making use of the little opportunity is the problem with Liverpool doing everything they can to get more goals just to be comfortable is what Klopp is urging the visitors to do. Second goal and they (Liverpool) are still pressing to get more and I find out that the confident of Liverpool is growing in every touches they make.
Brentford need something special to get a goal and ones that happens Liverpool will reduce their pressure, I still see this game ending in a draw despite the score line being 0-2 in favor of Liverpool.
As I said before, trailing 0-1 in the first half will make Brentford take the initiative to play attacking football, so they will have more opportunities to score a goal back. But in return, it will make their defense more open and make it possible for Liverpool to have many gaps to launch counterattacks. A consequence that Brentford must take because that is the only way for them to get points. Even if they fail to get points, at least they have tried their best.
Without being told, I had already known that every club that Liverpool will face from henceforth will receive it very hard. Liverpool has clearly seen the pressure that Manchester City is giving them. So, they do not actually need anyone to tell them to sit up for the challenge ahead.

Besides, Brentford of this season is not the Brentford of las season that we all know can do wonders. Having 2 goals against Brentford is a big disadvantage to them. They can obviously not fight more to draw because they are dealing with a bigger team.
Liverpool won for the first time since 1938  in Brentford home. The first half was bad for Liverpool with two injured players, and just one goal. The second half had four goals, which Sallah made an assist on the second goal and scored the third goal. I feel a kind of confidence for Liverpool now that Sallah is back, because we saw how great his performance was in the second half which led to three goals for his club. Liver is now 5 points clear on the table, and I believe that they can still continue in this wonderful performance.
The match is over and it is 4-1 against the host.
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 17, 2024, 01:36:58 PM
Liverpool haven't been doing good against Brentford in away games in the recent years. They couldn't win any of those games. Today hopefully they are on the pitch to put an end to this bad streak.  Smiley  We have left 25 minutes behind and it is 0-0 for now. I see Salah among the substitute players now. But I believe Klopp will have him on the pitch in the second half.

I hope Salah enters the game as early as possible. Liverpool really need him on this title competition. He is like everything for Liverpool for consistency. I'm still curious about who they will find as a replacement for Salah in case he decides to leave this summer after Klopp leaves.
Well, finally we can see Salah playing on the field again. Well, I hope the injury doesn't recur and I hope Salah really brings big changes that make Liverpool return to their maximum performance like at the start of the season.

Salah was introduced in the final minutes of the first half and will continue again in the second half. Currently the match result is still 0-1 in favor of Liverpool. And with Salah returning to play on the pitch, I think Liverpool will score another goal in the second half.
Yea, I believe that the presence of Sallah will add a good impact on Liverpool performance in the second half. Liverpool is already on the lead, and I don't think that they will lose this match because Brentford might not play as brilliant as they played in the first half. However, Brentford is always a team that is not easy for Liverpool to win, and Liverpool needs to be careful in the second half with defense so that they will not give Brentford the chance of equalizing the goal. Nunez has give his team a higher advantage of winning the match, since he scored the only goal in the first half.

Inter is already winning 3-0  in the 1st halft, this season is ove.

inter milan against a weak team, a team that occupies the caretaker of the standings table while inter milan acts as the host. winning easily with a landslide score is a common thing that does not show a very strong team. not a surprise with a 3-0 win.
The match ended 4-0. Marko Arautovic scored the fourth on the 50th minutes of the game. The visitors are weak and that was why Inter showed it by scoring this much goals. Inter is now ten points ahead of Juventus, and it wouldn't be easy for Juventus to catch up with Inter anymore due to their consistency in matches. Salernitana tried to stop Inter from scoring more goals in the second half, and assuming that was how they played in the first half Inter would not have scored up to 4 goals.
358  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 16, 2024, 08:28:04 PM
Inter have a home game against Salernitana before facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. Technically there are three days between these games and the Atletico Madrid game is also going to be played at Giuseppe Meazza. But maybe Simone Inzaghi might still want to rotate the squad a little.

Because they already have a huge advantage in the standings - a seven-point gap with one game missing. Inzaghi can comfortably prefer not to risk and tire his best players before an important game. Even in this situation I wouldn't expect Inter to lose points against Salernitana.  Smiley

I think that Simone Inzaghi may decide to rotate his players in preparation for their upcoming Champions League battle against Atletico Madrid, as it is expected to be a difficult match. Even with the player rotation, I don't think Inter Milan will lose points to Salernitana because we all know how poorly the team has performed this season. The season is half already and Salernitana has only managed 13 points since the start of the season. Even without the top players tonight, I believe Inter Milan will have another squad that is capable of defeating Salernitana. Since Salernitana is presently in the relegation zone, I don't think they are going to play in Seria A next season.

I think Inter Milan needs to win this game in order to close the gap to 10 points with Juventus, Even though Inter Milan is currently leading the league with a 7 points difference with Juventus, I'm not sure that Simone Inzaghi will rotate his players. So winning their missing game will give them an extra three points.

That's actually the hardest thing Inter Milan needs to do, they are racing in the Serie A with Jucentos and they have a good situation there, also Inter Milan is still in the Champions League and they are going to have hard games in this tournament against bigger names but I think still Inter Milan can achieve the title in both tournaments if they manage the team well and that's all up to Inzaghi. He should give some rest to seem players and keep them in the good form for the Champions League games.
Inter wouldn't stop proving to the world that they are the best this season in Italy, as Inter scored two goals within two minutes against Salernitana. The first goal was scored by Thuram with a brilliant finish on the 17th minutes, making it Thuram's 10th goal this season for Inter. The second goal was scored on the 19th minutes by Martinez with a lovely strike to the right side of the post, making it his 20th goal for Inter this season. The visitors will not be able to put themselves back in the game instead Inter will score more goals.

Inter 2-0 Salernitana

However, like you said, Ether is the second cryptocurrency with value, but it is centralized and they are using proof of stake, which makes me see that they are up to something. Ether is gaining more popularity now and people have also started investing in Ether because it is still cheap, and they believe that Etherum ETF will soon be approved by SEC.

My joy of buying bitcoin at the right time when bought my first Bitcoin has been excessive in this period that Bitcoin price have risen continuously.

My story
As a newbie and first-time investor and holder of Bitcoin, I made a decision that has led me to a stage of financial satisfaction within a short time, just by risking the right amount and at the right time.
I bought Bitcoin when the price was low at about $22,000 price and i went all in with the whole capital at my disposal,  as a newbie i was sceptical,  but also i was ready to take that risk.
Luckily for me, Bitcoin is now at 52 thousand dollars, and i feel so excited to see the number of profits that i have accumulated within the shortest time which no other investment can give such profits in such a time frame, so I am glad.
You must be happy at the profit on your bitcoin investment, bit I will tell you that your have not hodli for up to a circle. If you can hodli your bitcoin in the bear market that is when you are a good hodler. I hope that you don't have plans to sell those bitcoin in the bull market, and if you have plans to to that, then you should have a price target that when bitcoin reaches, you can sell and take profit. This is because bitcoin price will not be bullish alone, the bear market will come after the bull run.
