...
I will like to ask OP have you done an analysis on this matter before coming to this strong conclusion. The fact the few persons you know as gamblers find it difficult to save isn't enough reason to generalise that all gamblers find it difficult to save. Saving is a thing of personal discipline, Even business gurus can become victims too. I believe gamblers like everyother person do save except i see a proven analysis from a large gambling sample to prove otherwise.

As regards gamblers helping their families i will still say it is based on discipline. Giving is a gift irrespective of how the money is gotten. I think gamblers who finds it difficult to help their families most times are addicts who gamble all they have and at the end of the day they lose everything and nothing to remit to their families. But for responsible gamblers majority of them take their families in high esteem.

My advice is simple. Don't try to know everything about the crypto space all at once. Find a passion and grow with it, It could be trading, investing, mining, shilling, management, farming, designing and many other things you can do for crypto projects. A developer as well won't be far from the picture. Be good with what you do, focus more on the development and in due time your skills will speak volume and your earnings will be boundless.

Information is everywhere if as parents we fail to teach our kids the right mindset as regards Bitcoin and digital currency at early age they will get the information outside and it is difficult to predict the kind of knowledge that will be passed on to our kids about Bitcoin from neighbors, peers or classmates. As exposed Bitcointalkers it is best to be the first to educate your kids about Bitcoin and its mechanisms so it will be easier to account for what information they have about digital currencies.

I doubt if any forum user will have an information or is knowledgable about Bitcoin and will decide to hoard it. If they won't want to share them because they want to impact knowledge they will do it for the sake of recognition and fame. The forum is solely for the discussion of Bitcoin first then anything else can come in as secondary which include Altcoin. If OP had made an instance of where a subject was raised about Bitcoin and users who had knowledge about the subject failed to respond it would have been more easier to relate with but as far as i know Bitcoin related topics are hot cake on the forum and so many users are eager to dive into them when such threads are created.

Brentford is indeed one of the clubs that continues to show fairly good consistency at the moment. even Brentford has only 4 defeats from 21 matches. But Arsenal's strength is much better this season. Arsenal also only have 4 defeats from 20 matches. And of course Arsenal have more wins. I think Arsenal will win the game against Brentford. perhaps the worst result is a draw. but I will believe in Arsenal's advantage.
It's true and for sure this is not a small club. Judging from the last few matches, they have been quite good in every match, their consistency and enthusiasm is very clear to win and their tactics so far have been very focused. so, Arsenal will not underestimate this cub. especially learning from the mistakes of the previous match which led to defeat, Arsenal certainly don't want the same incident. This is enough to make them more on fore and motivated in the future.
In their first meeting Arsenal won Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium by 0 -3 and now they will be meeting at the Emirates Stadium. If Brentford could not resist Arsenal's attack in the first leg then they will do little or nothing to resist them from getting more points in their second game. The previous match where Arsenal lost to Everton was a game of luck for Everton which the revenge will be taken on Brentford. Brentford might have good defensive record but it can't be used against Arsenal.

Since strategy are always changing in trading,
Strategy don't change it is the trader who tries to force their strategies to do what it is not meant o do. That is why if a newbie adopt any old strategy and applies it correctly to the market they also profit from it. In regards to whom to trust i will say trust your final analysis. If the old trader or the new hot trader is making profit try building a confluence but first make sure as a trader the ability to detect a profitable trading strategy is at its maximum.

It can be frustrating when you struggle to acquire education because they cost of getting good education is expensive. Instead of saving to still spend what is saved in future expenses and along the line it will result in having nothing left to fall back to, It is better to invest in something that can afford you a daily or weekly pay. I won't suggest Bitcoin because it is a long term investment plan and as a student money will be needed occasionally to settle for school related matters. Trading or digital skills can help with keeping up with the bills that accompanies acquiring education, except you have enough fund that can be risked in Bitcoin investment then it will be a nice shot.

Juventus won the first game after all the drama and stealing points. Now place 10 in the league, the season is over but the motivation of the players has come back a little. Dusan Vlahovic scored 8 goals in 12 games and he is now doing what he can, he is there top scorer. Juventus can still win the Coppa Italia this season, better than nothing. In the league there are 17 match days left, so a lot of points to get, but I don't think they will finish in the top 5.
I think the mentality of the Juventus players is back in the best shape after they were worried about their future after the suspension from the FIGC which made them lose 15 points in the last month. But I think that this problem is slowly starting to be forgotten by the Juventus players and now they are just looking at every match to be able to win.

Selernitana is indeed not a tough opponent for Juventus because in that match Juventus were able to do quite well in controlling possession. So, Juventus are back to winning ways and we are looking forward to whether Ac Milan can do that considering that the two big teams in Serie A have lost their best form in several matches
15 point deduction is enough to destabilise a team emotionally,  psychologically and mentally but am glad they are still able to find the back of the net afterwards. 10th place in the Italian Serie A with 17 matches left and consistent win can bring Juventus back to top 5 before the end of the season after all Lazio who climbed to top 4 when Juventus were sent to the bottom is not doing so much to remain in the top 4 a replacement is possible and Juve can still climb back.

Selernitana might not be tough for Juventus to win but winning them with such goal difference can boast their moral to do even better than they did at their early games in the season. If only they can keep their winning ways consistent they will make their fans happy again

I don't think i have thought to quitting gambling or if i have done so in times past it should be in the early days of gambling but i can't quit because i gamble seasonally. I know of someone who managed to stop gambling with the help of friends and loved ones but yet it wasn't easy.

But one thing i have experienced personally about gambling is no matter how much a gambler tries to stop as long as they keep surrounding themselves with what gives them the drive to gamble, chances are that the former gambler will be lured into trying out a few odd. It somehow impossible quitting gambling by self determination except someone comes to help.

Now Erik Ten Hag is much more stable and has mastered the characteristics of the players. At the start of the season, he was doing a lot of experimenting and after that, it worked very well. Erik Ten Hag consistency in building a squad has now materialized, so going against Leeds is not the biggest obstacle to adding to his collection of points and chasing Man City. It is possible that Man City, which is currently rocked by a case, might benefit Erik Ten Hag and his troops to overtake more quickly. If they manage to get 3 points in this match I believe that they can occupy 2nd position in the standings.
Erik Ten Hag was able to build his squad more confident after many trials at the start of the season and now indeed we see how Erik Ten Hag did his job at Manchester United quite effectively and is now still able to chase points to fight for a second place although it's not a matter of priority at least can go one step further with Ten Hag's upbringing.
About 17 games left for this season the chances are still wide. I wonder how this trip will go, it's not so complicated to catch Arsenal, so against Leeds tonight should be their win at home.
Regarding the Manchester City case there is still no verdict on punishment so we are still waiting for that.
My problem now is who will replace Casemiro in the Line up against Leeds. Casemiro is a key factor in Erik Ten Hag's formation and line up and in a recent update Ten Hag stated that Manchester United is not willing to appeal the three match ban on Casemiro as regards the red card he got in the 2-1 victory they got against Crystal Palace.

My worries is who will do the job of the right winged defensive midfield to help secure the next three point for united. Once that wing isn't strong enough the defense line as well will become vulnerable to attacks which can lead to defeat.

even though Liverpool have players who are quite high quality. But somehow the team's performance continues to decline at this time. even though Liverpool must prepare for the Champions League. although Real Madrid, who will be the opponents in the round of 16 later, are also experiencing a decline in their form.

It is very difficult to analyze Liverpool this season. In fact I think their players are evenly matched and have good quality. They have a big name with their current history and players. I don't know what's wrong, is it possible that Kloop's tactics are easy to guess? or indeed other clubs are improving quite a lot. What is obvious at the moment is the mentality of fighting vigorously and tirelessly. It seems that they look saturated with the current state. In fact I felt sorry to see Kloop's face as they lost 3-0 to Wolves. He looked very disappointed, and angry.
I come to understand that every season has its champion. Liverpool is doing their best but it seems luck and chance is not on their side. Every coach will put up such angry, disappointed and frustrated look when their effort isn't showing positive result. Losing  3-0 to a low ranked team like Wolves is enough to wear such face. I really feel sorry for Liverpool.
412  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 07, 2023, 03:43:53 PM
It looks like Barcelona this season is a team that has a good defense, because with Barcelona being consistent they don't often concede goals in every match. So these results have made Barcelona conceded only seven goals so far and what's more, Barcelona has a good number of goals too because they are only two goals different from Real Madrid.

So indeed, with this achievement I personally admit that Barcelona deserved to win the La Liga title this season. Because Barcelona has consistently good performance in La Liga, and of course that is a result that must be appreciated.

And it seems that since the beginning of the season, Barcelona has intended to prioritize winning La Liga. because as we know that Barcelona in the group stage in the Champions League at that time Barcelona actually played quite badly. but even then Barcelona's performance in La Liga was well maintained. so that since the beginning of the season until now Barcelona has shown very good consistency in Laliga. and I also think that Barcelona deserves to be champions this season.
The margin between Barcelona and Madrid keeps expanding each passing week. If Barcelona can maintain the 8 point margin till half of the second round of the La Liga competition they will find it more easier to secure their lead and win the title. Xavi has tried in his career to have maintained a good record in the Laliga to have won 17 matches out of 20. Losing only 1 and having two draws. If not for the numerous distractions, he would have qualified for the next round of the CL but that not withstanding he can make up for it in the Europa.

Bayern Munich is leading 3-1 against Wolfsburg at the 65th minute, and Kimmich got sent off so Bayern are playing with 10 players, this gives Bayern to score another goal some high odds, they are at 2.52, pretty high odds for a team like Bayern Munich and I think they can score even with a red card.
This is the first win for Bayern since they returned from the WC break but it was accompanied with a red card but yet Bayern leading with 10 players, it is a big shock especially with such high odd of 2.52. They made the game so easy for them. It ended in 2-4 victory for Bayern

Tottenham lead 1-0 at half-time. And so Manchester City also seems to be losing points today. And for the Spurs it is also important points because they still want to qualify for the CL. For many teams it is still a golden opportunity to qualify for the CL or EL as Liverpool and Chelsea are having a bad season. For a team like Brighton, the EL would already be a great achievement. With all due respect to Brighton, in the CL it would only be sporting fun to play against the best in the world. The turnaround at Liverpool doesn't seem to be coming. This week also suffered a hopeless 3-0 defeat and they can't get the team to play football. The impact of Mane's departure may have been underestimated by many people in management.

If Tottenham lose again after winning the first half (recently they lost to City 4-2 winning after the first half 2-0) then I don’t even know how I will comment on it. Such a failure would call into question both the team's ability and the coach's qualifications. As you correctly noted, in connection with the failures of Chelsea and Liverpool, new opportunities have opened up for the rest of the teams and it will be extremely disappointing not to use them.
Spurs are Seriously defending the remaining 5 minutes of the game with the best of their ability. Any thing can still happen though. Conte can not afford to repeat the same mistake the made at Ethihad Stadium. Their aggressive defense has resulted in Christian Romero getting a red card. i hope this doesn't make their defense weaker.

AC Milan seems to have to fight harder in the match against Inter Milan. Because AC Milan really needs points to be able to return to 2nd place. Meanwhile, Inter Milan will certainly fight hard so they can get full points again so that no one shifts their current ranking which is in 2nd place. It is really impressive to see the competition this season so far more fierce. Only Napoli are still comfortable at the top of the standings with the acquisition of points which are indeed very high, namely 53 points.
AC Milan faced two strong defeats in their last two games where the lost 4-0 to Lazio and 2 -5 to Sassuolo. It is either they improve their defense in their game with Inter or Inter will seal their place in the second position. Two loss, two draws and one win in last five matches shows Milan might lose to Inter if nothing is done about their defense.

Napoli now feel comfortable at the top because 13 point gap is enough to feel relaxed because this is their 20th game for the season in which only 18 games left and they are certain they can win between 10 and 14 games out of their next matches.

It depends because everyone got to know about Bitcoin through a means it could be through friends, social media, conference or maybe an outdoor meeting. How Bitcoin is introduced to this beginners determine their mindset when dealing with a volatile asset like this.

 
Of course, no one knows what motivates someone to jump in and participate in investing in crypto, everyone has a reason, and everyone has the original intention in their heart.
but there are some people who do research on the intentions of novice investors in investing in crypto
Everyone participating in Bitcoin have a collective motive which is to profit from the volatility just that everyone approach the market differently. While some simply buy low and sell high, others trade and majority buy and hodl for a long time before selling.

But for Novices who don't get the right orientation they might just feel because Bitcoin made their early investors rich, The routine will remain that way not knowing that there were factors that triggered the sudden rise in price back then and for such occurrence to repeat it self it will take many years of patience and if it will eventually making new rich investors it will come sudden and unexpectedly.

This is one of the things that must have triggered researchers to study the intentions of novice investors because they come with the mindset of gambling in crypto and not investing. In reality there is no free money in crypto to make good profit it will cost the investor patience and time and studying.

~ Do people hodl just because others are HODLing?
No, although some who just depend solely on influencers and hype hodl because others are hodling but the ideal thing is to hold based on your analysis, as in the OP where it is pointed that you hodl to sell when the price satisfactory to the holder.

Quote
~ Why do people hodl rather than sell and buy again when low
It depends on the buyer. Some can just hodl because they feel price hasn't gone high enough, Others hodl because they get signals to hodl and as you rightly said those who don't understand the dos and don't in DYOR might just hodl because others are holding.

Quote
~ What is your major reason for HODLing and how do your survive the bear market?
Bitcoin only started recovering from the long dip it experienced from late 2021 till late 2022 and from my own research and analysis Bitcoin has the potential to climbing to $40,000 that why i am still holding.

The aim of this casino is good and the idea looks inviting even to non gamblers. Giving  back to the society through Charity especially for  those struggling with cancer is another height of selflessness. RehabBingo should be a nice start for me before the end of the month to support Rehab group with their estimated  "fifty thousand disabled people with different physical and intellectual deformities across Ireland".

I believe in catching them young when their brains are not occupied with much activities. Bitcoin is a currency just like the regular fiat so at early age be it at 13 years or lower the lad can be introduced to the forum just that they get tutored and mentored until they are matured to make full decisions for themselves and so that they maintain good reputation on the forum.
