Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?
I have never thought of this because tracking or not tracking, a gambler will always lose more than he win which is a norm in gambling. It is better that I use to money that I can afford to lose and gamble for fun so that I can have a healthy gambling experience. It is people who are so worried about their gambling activities that can have the time to track their gambling progress because they might be gambling for profit or they want to win big, since they believe that they can use gambling to turn their lives around. Whatever outcome that my bet gives me, I am satisfied with it.

Roma is another serious obstacle in front of Inter on their way to the Serie A title. Roma have been in a really good form since De Rossi took over. However all of their matches so far have been comfortable ones on paper. Besides I didn't like their effort against Salernitana a short time ago. Inconsistencies in their performance might cost them quite much against Inter as a result.

We haven't watched Roma playing against a big team with De Rossi yet though. But while Inter are in wonderful shape I think they will win this match too.
Roma will only be a little obstacle to Inter, and I don't think that Roma will be able to stop Inter from having all three points in that match, even though they go and bring the best coach in the world to caich them in that match. Inter has shown how strong they are since the beginning of the season, and I don't think that a club that changed their coach due to their poor performance, and have won just three consecutive matches will be able to stop Inter from their motive and goal of winning Scudetto by not surrendering to defeat.
383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Changing initial option and losing the bet on: February 08, 2024, 01:19:45 PM
As a gambler and I do participate on physical gambling, at times this scenario often happens to me. After doing my analysis, checked statistics on games, I have selected option I want to play but when I get to gambling center I will have a thought of changing option or adding  a game  to the initial option I selected and this most time will cost losing the bet.


These acts has cost me from losing bet many times, as a gambler share your thoughts on this and have you been in a similar situation.
Yea, of course I have experienced such situation, and it do happen when you don't have confidence on your prediction. Maybe along the line, when you get to the bet shop, someone might tell you that you should change your bet or add a game to it, which might finally led to the lost of that bet.

This has made me never to listen to anyone, until I have placed my bet on the game. Sometimes because we think that we need to win the game, it makes us want to change the bet thinking that the new change will be beneficial to us but rather it will lead us to lose the game. This is why one should only gamble with the amount of money that you can afford to lose, so that you see gambling as fun, and just bet on whatever predictions that you had already come up with

What I always do when I am in such situation, I place my bet twice one on the first one I brought from home, and the second bet will be that with the little changes. It is easy for me to do it, because I bet with little money that wouldn't make me feel bad when I lose both games.

There is nothing an entity or group of people or even the government can do to bring down bitcoin. Government have tried in the past to kill bitcoin but the more they try, the more bitcoin shows them that it cannot be controlled or get rid of by anyone. This has made the government to see that fact and they don't have any choice than to let bitcoin be, so that they can also benefit from bitcoin potential by the approval of Bitcoin ETF. Bitcoin is no longer a baby and nothing Wright can do about it because bitcoin is decentralized. Don't bother yourself thinking on what to do because bitcoin will fight for herself. Just relax and continue with your DCA because it is now that bitcoin will become more popular and increase in value than before.
385  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Struggle now to invest in Bitcoin for a bright future. on: February 07, 2024, 09:58:16 PM
I think that the best way is to trim down our expenses, and also try to get a second job that will add to our income to enable one to also partake on investing in bitcoin. Self management plays a vital role in our financial life, and anyone with good self management will be able to invest in bitcoin no matter how little he can afford to use in buying bitcoin gradually through DCA. The challenge that I see is when the person does not have a means of income and can hardly take care of his basic needs, it becomes a big problem for such person to invest in bitcoin and hodli for a very long period of time without selling when an emergency arise. Nothing good is easy but with discipline and sacrifice, one can work towards being successful in his bitcoin journey.
386  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Africa Football Discussion || Current Topic: AFCON 2023 on: February 07, 2024, 07:18:06 PM
Omo.. I must swear, this is the most happiest moment for Nigerians in the entire 2024 AFCON game this season, as we Nigerians just score 1 goal against South Africa at 80 minutes into the game, and I will be very glad if the Super Eagles of Nigeria can maintain this pattern of game play in the next 10 to 15 minutes when the game finally comes to an end.
And I swear to God if we do actually win this game, social media will be a hell to the entire South Africans, due to how much this guys have been mocking us for the past recent days


A controversial penalty has led the match to extra time. Victor Osimhen scored a goal to make it 2-0 for Nigeria before a call from VAR cancelled the goal and awarded a penalty, it is now 1-1 at 90 minutes. The extra time will decide the winner or perhaps the match will lead to penalties which is what the South African team and players want.
Haven carefully watched some of the matches Nigeria have played in this tournament, I can boldly say that this game against South Africa is one of the toughest the super Eagles have played so far.
Apparently the game would have ended in the first 90 minutes if not for the penalty that was caused by a Nigerian player almost at the end of the second half, Leading to the extra time. South Africa can be very dangerous because they have one of the best goalkeepers in the tournament that made them to qualify to this stage after saving some penalty kicks from the last match. I think the safest thing for Nigeria at this point is for them to win during this extra time play without going into penalties.
The match is in the extra time of 30mins and the game is still very tough. Nigeria is still looking for a way to find the back of the net. The match might end up in a penalty shoot out from the way the match is going. This is because none of these countries want to allow the other to take advantage of them. So many chances has not been utilized properly. Both countries goalkeeper are good, a short break in the extra time.

Here I am, not a single Bitcoin tide to my name, am not so proud about it especially, being here where I just have the vague idea that, the members here just might have so much. I guess what I’m looking out for is a sense of security and some comfort that, it’s really better late than sorry.

Help me not to be sorry!
I understand your point OP, and it is not late for you to buy bitcoin. You can buy bitcoin with any amount of money as low as 10% of your income or 5%, since you are new.You can also set out an amount from your income that you know will not affect your monthly expenses, so that you can use this amount to invest in bitcoin regularly either weekly or monthly using DCA. This can enable you build up your bitcoin portfolio. Don't also forget that you are to invest in long term so that, it will limit the risk attached to bitcoin investment. If you gave the money you can start buying and don't wait because the earlier the better. Remember that you must have an income for you to be able to have a smooth bitcoin journey and hodli.
388  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Not everyone deserves to hear of your winning in gambling. on: February 07, 2024, 03:25:42 PM

I fully support your opinion. In fact, showing off or sharing experiences with other people has a bad impact if we are not right in terms of sharing winning experiences from gambling because even though we are in a safe environment without any threats, it still won't be safe because if we tell stories to others friends about big wins, the most common impact that often occurs and I often say is that a friend will approach us and borrow money from us, even some people will definitely know about this because sometimes a friend will reveal the winnings that we get.


The gambler who had huge experience should share their experience to the people with some good heart.It was true you had earned the experience by loss of the dollars.But you can help your community people to earn some dollars because of your experience.They also help in your future,when you doesn’t have money for the gambling game.Actually they can give you the loan at the time of no money.Every gamblers will get this situation of no money for the next game at the bad time.
Some gamblers enjoys sharing their wins with their friends, just because they are very excited that they won big. In some cases, maybe the person has never had any win before, and his first win becomes like a testimony to him. It is old time gamblers that are use to winning, that might see sharing the story of their win as a threat to them because they don't want anyone to know if they won or not or if they are gamblers or not. My first win gave me joy and I had to tell my friends and even took them out to the bar that evening so that they can also enjoy from it. Currently, I don't share my wins anymore, and I don't like the idea because it can make your friends or other people that are envious of you to start gambling, even when they have never gambled before.
389  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This was my highest risk. on: February 06, 2024, 05:21:16 PM
I have never thought of taking such risk, and I will never try to take such risk. This is because it is like you are meeting someone to predict a game for you to bet on. OP, you took a great risk that would have cost you a lot assuming the other two matches didn't end up as predicted by your friend. We all know that gambling us all about taking risk, but we need to reduce the risk by only gambling with the money that we can afford to lose. Maybe your friend was not comfortable with the other two marches that was left and he prefer to be on the safe side, should in case the two matched didn't come out as predicted. You are very lucky on this, doesn't mean that you will be lucky when next you take such risk.

Do you realize that both Liverpool and Arsenal have played more games than Manchester city? Liverpool is just ahead of City with just a two points different. Man city has outstanding game at hand and if they play the game now and win, they will be ahead of Liverpool with a point.
Yeah, theoretically Manchester City should be in the top position if all teams have same total matches, FIFA just want to make Liverpool's fans temporary happy with the current standings. Grin

It's the time for Nunez able to become a goal scorer for Liverpool, he can't just wasting many chances from his teammates.
From the look of what is happening currently in EPL, it is obvious that Manchester city will top the league again, after they lost the first position to Arsenal due to De Bruyne injury. Now that De Bruyne is back, they will take back what rightfully belongs to them. Liverpool is only there temporarily, because I know that Manchester city will win their outstanding match. Liverpool couldn't fight hard to remain on top, by allowing Arsenal to defeat them on Sunday. Foden is a player that we should watch out for in Manchester city because he is becoming more dangerous every day.

DCA is perfect but a little more stressful than any other strategy
I disagree with you that DCA is stressful than the other two methods of accumulating bitcoin. DCA is the easiest of them, because it allows you buy bitcoin with low amount regularly, all you need is to be discipline, so that you can be consistent and persistent in accumulating, and growing you bitcoin portfolio. As long as you have sorted out the amount that you can use to buy weekly or monthly from you income, that wouldn't mount pressure on you, then you will invest in a comfortable way with rest of mind. It is when you fail to keep your emergency funds, reserve funds if possible, and the funds for your monthly expenses that it will become a stress, or when you over buy aggressively, without considering, if your emergency funds is big enough to withstand whatever emergency that occur. If you are use to saving money, then DCA accumulation strategy will be fun to you.

Lump sum pattern deals with accumulation of Bitcoin for future profits, basically a higher long term holding than any other strategy
All the three strategy serves the same purpose, which is to hodli for long, so that you can benefit from the compounding profit of your investment and also lower the risk attached to bitcoin investment. It depends on the investor and the number of years that he plans hodling his investment maybe 4-10yrs and above. Lump sum is good if you have the money to lump sum, as long as you are still buying regular with DCA method weekly or monthly.

Meanwhile buying the DIP means holding funds and always monitoring the market till when the price drops far below the last ATH
This is the most stressful of all and the most dangerous of all, for a newbie. This is because
1. Timing the dip id very difficult, and one might end up missing out when the dip comes, because he wants the price to be dipper than that. and night not know that is the bottom line of the dip.
2. During when you are holding your cash waiting for the dip, an unforeseen circumstance might occur that will make you spend that money or part of that money because you believe that you will be able make it up before the dip arrives, and the dip comes like a thief in the night.
3. Your cash will depreciate as you are waiting. However, buying at the dip is the best time to buy if you have the money to lump sum, when the market dips.


most investors who had enough money took the perfect opportunity and bought at that price
You can lump sum at the dip, because that is when you will get the highest profit, which is why many investors are buying large amount of bitcoin during the dip, and it shows from your statement that I quoted.

The scoreline between Brentford and Manchester City at halftime is 1-1, thanks to Foden for equalizing for Manchester City against Brentford. With the way Manchester City has dominated Brentford in the first half, it will be difficult for Brentford to stop Manchester City from scoring another goal in the second half.

City really dominated the first half and that's what we're expecting because they're good at that. The home team Brentford tried to challenge the Citizens in the first to even get the opener, I hope they continue that way in this second half which I know is never going to be easy because Manchester City need a win to keep pressuring Arsenal and Liverpool for the title race. I think the only thing Brentford are going to get in this game is a draw, which is not too healthy for City so they (Manchester City) need to put more pressure to get a win.
Foden has scored another goal making it two goals. He scored with a sharp header on the 53rd minutes after a beautiful pull out from De Bruyne which landed on this head. This is a good start for City in the second half. The league is becoming more tough as it gets close to the end. Brentford is showing that they would not accept defeat from City as they are making every possible means to equalize the second goal. It is 1-2 against the host.

Roma have started the match in a good way as Pellegrini was able to find the back of the net in 2mins after the match was declared open. An early goal is a good advantage for the host. Roma should be able to take advantage of this and win the match. De Rossi is the man for Roma from the look of things after he took over from Mourinho. The visitors was shocked with the early goal 2hich from was their defense, but they didn't allow the goal to way them down, and they have tried their best several times see if they can equalize the goal. Roma is in possession of the game.

Let the other forum decide on what will happen to that person, since the account was not sold here in BTT, so I don't see how justice can be done here. The other forum don't give a fuck about what happens over there like account abuse, neither do they take the offenses that BTT take serious very serious. When you plagiarize, you will only have a negative Karma, unlike here that it will lead to the ban of your account.

395  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Believe, "Passive Investors Make More Than Active Investors?" on: February 05, 2024, 02:27:29 PM
When it comes to cryptocurrency, passive investors will definitely make more money than an active investor. This is because there is a high tendency that traders will run at loss during their trading period. Also it is doesn't give you that rest of man when trading compare to a hodler, who just kept his bitcoin in his wallet and wait for a very long period of time before he will think of taking profit. The most benefiting side for a passive investor is the compounding profit that his bitcoin portfolio will generate for him, because from bitcoin price history, it shows that bitcoin price keeps increasing with timeline. I prefer to be a hodler, because your money is working for you all you need is to be patient with your long term investment. Traders stress themselves out reading charts, following signals, which will not still save them from acquiring losses.
396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 04, 2024, 08:58:07 PM
In this match Real Madrid had quite poor squad depth, the only pure defender was Nacho. And on the bench there aren't enough good options for that position.
They actually have the best squad depth in the Spanish La Liga. It's just a misfortune that almost all their center backs are injured at the moment, namely Éder Militão, Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba. Nacho almost fits anywhere are the back, that is why he is a utility player. If any other team was hit which such an injury crisis, they would be struggling so much.

Meanwhile, Brahim Díaz puts Real Madrid ahead with a lovely finish.

That's right, because so far this season Real Madrid have often found some of their key players unplayable, whether through injury or card accumulation. But despite that, the fact that Real Madrid still managed to compete well and compete strongly in the race for the first position in the La Liga standings so far this season. With these factors and results then yes, I think it is clear that Real Madrid has good squad depth because yes, although Real Madrid rotates players quite often, but the fact is that Real Madrid still gets good results in La Liga and also in the Champions League.
Real Madrid is a club that is filled with all star from the first eleven to their bench, and this is why no matter how many players get injured, there is always a good replacement of that player, and that wouldn't affect their performance in their matches. It is not yet over as the first half ended 1-0 against the visitors. The second half can be some thing different because Athletico Madrid can decide to change their game pattern and equalize the goal in the sechond half. However, Real has the higher chance of winning the match and I don't think that they will let Athletico steal the victory from them or share point with them.

Liverpool got a red card late in the match, although I was hoping they could equalise, as is often the case in the EPL... Now the battle for the lead will be even more interesting... If Man City pick up six points in the next two matches, they can get to the top of the standings... Then there will be three leaders and the EPL will be even more interesting...
After Arsenal hard-fought win against Liverpool today the title has become a three horse race with Man City completing the trio clubs likely title winner, definitely it going to be one of the toughest contest, meanwhile Arsenal rose up to occasion in today's match as usual many soccer analyst and pundits had already predicted Liverpool to win based on the past records between the two with liver having an upper hand but today Arsenal proved them.wrong with a brilliant performance by winning 3-1 to close their gap to a narrow two points thus opening the title bid among the three contestants.its was a entertainment match after both teams tried to break their defense unfortunately costly mistakes by each side defenders gifted each team a goal.
I had a little doubt in the beginning of the match that Liverpool will be able to win the match, after when I saw the odds between Arsenal and Liverpool. The booker gave Arsenal small odd, and after that I had to bet on Arsenal to win the game, which was a great game for me because I could cash out some little profit after the match. The competition is now very interesting because the point difference is not much and any team that drops point will be pushed down from their initial position. The league is open for all three clubs to continue their race on winning the trophy this season.

It is goo that you gave taken this bold step to buy bitcoin and using the DCA approach is the best because it gives you the advantage to buy bitcoin at different price interval. However, I am still stashing up my bitcoin portfolio getting ready for the next bull run, but I don't plan to sell it then until I have seen that bitcoin has hit my price target. Another thing that is important is that you shouldn't only focus on the profit aspect alone, even though I know that most of us are investing in bitcoin to make profit. This is because if bitcoin price didn't go as you have planned, it might make you get disappointed and sell of when it is not of your will.
399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 03, 2024, 05:54:12 PM
Agree with you. PSG best era was when they had trio strikers Messi-Neymar-Mbappe. If in that era they couldn't win the trophy, it is more impossible to win it in the current era. We don't forget that they are very difficult to qualify to knock-out round this season. They were almost eliminated in group stage by AC Milan because they have the same total points. How they can win UCL trophy if they were difficult to qualify to the current round? Sure, it seems hard to achieve the semi-final round. Let's hope PSG can win against Real Sociedad first before predicting PSG to be the champion. It Real Sociedad defeats them, there is no way to win UCL trophy for PSG.


Paris Saint Germain stand out this season to become very competitive for the league title but I think its going to be tougher for them because there's presence of other tough clubs in the league. The estimated period for PSG to win the UEFA Champions League title have been long overdue because the necessary players, Leo Messi, Neymar Jr and Kylian Mbappe was the frontline for the team's success but it turns out they couldn't because alot of challenges restrain them from competing in elite competitions title race, they easily gets eliminated from the UCL.

I think that how competitive PSG in the french league will not affect the performance from the club in the UCL. PSG doesn't have messi and neymar. The club was not as strong as when la pulga was there and so i think that PSG will have small chance to win UCL this season. It's caused by real madrid and bayern munich have been coming back with better form right now. I think that PSG's chance will be very small. This is also the last season of mbappe to play in UCL with PSG caused by he will be leaving from the club soon. PSG has been trying many times to get into the final of UCL but it was alwasy failed.
I remind you that how french league was not as competitive as other league like serie a or even premier league. It's meaningless to take french league as a measurement to determine how strong PSG is rght now.
People can hope this team to win UCL but i personally is still feeling doubt about the performance from PSG in UCL. It has not yet faced the strongest club like munich or real madrid. intermilan is also very strong caused by it's very balanced team in serie a.
It's also still leading the competition in italy as well. The chance for PSG to get UCL is very small compared to those clubs who were being favored to be the winner of UCL this season.
Kylian Mbappe have been phenomenal and absolutely impressive for the Paris Saint Germaine team since he signed for the club in 2017 but series of reports have it that the French national team captain is going to leave to club at the end of the season and for a club like Paris Saint Germaine, I think this season is their last chance of making history by winning the UEFA Champions League with Kylian Mbappe.
I know that the other big European teams in the UEFA Champions League this season are more of the bookmakers favorite to win the UEFA Champions League competition but if Paris Saint Germaine with their current squad can put out their best in the competition, I think they can end the season with club football's most prestigious trophy.
I doubt that PSG will ever have the chance of winning the champions league this season with only their world class player Mbappe. A tree cannot make a forest, and we have other clubs that are stronger than PSG with several great players. The time that PSG would have been able to win the champions league was last season that they had three professional strikers with them but still they failed. It shows that they were not desperate to win the champions league. Only clubs that are desperate to win it, will win the champions league. We saw it last season how Man city won it due to the desperate mindset that they had. This season we have more than two clubs that ha e been showing great interest to win the league, and I believe that one of them will win it

I do share my wins with my friends and family, because I see it as free money and I feel happy when I share part of it with my closed ones to assist them at that moment. Actually, I don't tell them that I got it from gambling because I don't want them to know where the source of the money came from. It gives me joy to put a smile on their faces with my win, since my win is like an extra cash which I never expected. If I don't share 50% of it, I feel that I will not be lucky to win more. This is because when you give them, they are happy and they will say so many good words to you that I think will bring more luck to you.
