The condition is still possible for both of them because we also don't know whether he is a billionaire or not Cheesy
If indeed he spends all that money on one bet and he really loses everything then surely it will give him a long headache but on the other hand if it is a billionaire then they will be fine and will probably just laugh like Neymar did recently where he lost quite a lot in just over an hour.
But as you said, there is a positive side to this and of course this can also be a reminder that in gambling even if the odds are very small it doesn't mean it's something that can be won easily because something like this could happen.
If he were Neymar, maybe he would laugh again but we only know that he has already lost a lot of money playing gambling, so we have to stay away from spending a lot of money like him. After all, we're not billionaires (I mean, we're not billionaires yet Grin).

So we better just take the positives for us so we don't play gambling with lots of money. And even though there is a possibility for us to win and it turns out we win, we must be able to stop ourselves from continuing the game and stop immediately before everything changes.
Neymar is an official partner of Blaze, so he probably gets to gamble that much money on the platform itself only to lure the audience that watches him toward the platform. That is one of the newest marketing techniques that most of the platforms use, Stake has got a lot of partners including Sergio Aguero, Drake, etc.

It's probably the best practice not to gamble with a lot of money if you can't really afford it. Getting inspired by these celebrities and gambling with a lot of money will only cost you money while they just gamble for fun using the platform's own money.
I'm with you on this, many of those stars are influencers, they are only doing their jobs in connivance with their paymasters and they are only showing us the charade proofs. But in practice, they lose nothing. As those might have truly tricked many in the past, the recent reality and exposure in this regard have made it light to the wise.

And truly, gambling is not good with heavy risks, we should risk sensibly no matter how much we have to spare for the casino. It's good to go with a good strategy and plan and always manage our gambling portfolio efficiently.

If you are truly experienced in crypto and blockchain technology, you should know that there is no shortcut to them. It's more advantageous to those people who get involved in cryptocurrencies as they would surely gain from them if they fully learn about them. We should stop being illiterate and embrace technology which is the way forward in this revolutionizing world.

As for the private keys, no one can keep them for them, you can only educate them better on it. If people could keep their certificates well for the rest of their life, they should be able to keep them too.

My candid advice to them is that they should not keep it electronically, but write it on paper. It could also be typed and printed, and still duplicated in about three places without tagging what they are meant for.

The Premier League have confirmed clubs have voluntarily agreed to remove gambling sponsors from the front of their matchday shirts from the start of the 2025/26 season.

This is a move to try to reduce promotion of gambling in the premier league with it's increasing audience, do you think it can successfully reduce the number of people who gamble? What do you think? Will these gambling platforms not just move to other sports, do you think other sports that wear their sponsors name in England will adopt this new development in the premier league?
I also read this news yesterday, it seems to have started before now, only a few clubs in the EPL that are not complying yet, so the grace of your quoted time is now agreed upon. Personally, I don't see how this would stop or regulate gambling, even the stadium that hosts the players would still be displaying/advertising companies in which casinos/sportsbooks would still be among them.

It's just a means to reduce the earning of some clubs, nothing serious could influence the number of gamblers in society. Those companies are only advertising so that people will prefer them, not that they are newly creating gamblers in most cases as this makes them viewed.

Aston Villa vs Newcastle match is going to start tomorrow in Premier League. I am waiting to watch this match. Because Aston Villa and Newcastle are very strong team. It is very difficult to predict which team will win the game. Aston Villa vs Newcastle.  Villa goalkeeper is performing very well now. But in Newcastle team, goalkeeper on one side and rest of the players are very good. So the match is likely to be very tight. Both teams have a lot of fans.
No doubt both teams are in great form at the moment. But I feel Newcastle United are playing like they’re targeting a spot and that has been the sole reason for their astonishing form this season. Aston Villa are playing well under Unai Emery and also scoring lot of goals too. I’m just convinced that Newcastle United will win this one. They are clinical in every department, defensively they’re solid and other teams find it hard to unlock their defense. Generally, they’re better than Aston Villa and I see them winning this one even though they’re away.
I wish Newcastle could be like this in their earlier matches, they would have been able to compete better with Arsenal and Man City, but the distance is now too far. Yet, against Man U, they are a good contender as they seem to be determined for the third spot on the EPL table than the latter. They've had their perfect 5 after being won by Man City which is understandable as they met their superior on that day.

This is an example of a serious club and beating Aston Villa should not be a problem.

I have nothing much to say to you in this regard as you didn't let us know the magnitude of the money in question to know how painful it could be. But still, I'm sorry for your loss, but you have to take heart and know it is part of life. No one will lose money and will not feel hurt unless the person is a vandal. It's you that would have to be more careful next time as money is not easy to come by these days.

Investing money in what you don't really understand or verify to be true is absolutely your fault.
4186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 13, 2023, 10:08:11 AM
--
Real madrid was always coming with high pressure on chelsea. Real madrid was always trying to bombing the goalkeeper of chelsea. Lampard has been making some mistake here.
Todd is still feeling so confidence if chelsea will able to make its revenge on the stamford bridge. Chelsea needs a miracle to make it happen. I don't even like the way of lampard was using the strategy. It lacks of defensive and aggressive.

Lampard is clueless and he has not known what he has been doing. The result of the last match is very embarrassing for the club. So many players were playing individually

Yes, Lampard is playing without any set strategy or game plan against Real Madrid, and his lack of direction has been visible. It's unfortunate to see Chelsea struggling so much this season, it's really been an embarrassment for the club. There's still hope as it's only 2 nil and anything can happen next game. However, Todd Boehly remains confident in the team's ability to turn things around. Of course, while confidence is important, it's also crucial to recognize the limitations of what can be achieved.
There’re a lot of negativities this first leg. Firstly, I didn’t like the formation Lampard used and the tactics didn't help the team. How the coach was using James and Chilwel made the lads frustrated not getting the best out of them. Chelsea players were crowded in the midfield and didn't know what to do with the ball. The players lacked confidence. There were no players upfront to take chances, they barely created some. This is not just about the managers, but the players must step up their games and believe.

The Real Madrid vs Chelsea Champions League quarter final match is the talk of the town. But I personally see both teams as equals, because both teams have been able to come so far with their own merits. Hopefully we will see a great competitive match.
Truly, Real Madrid and Chelsea have come this far but I still rate Real Madrid above Chelsea in the UCL this season. You could tell of it in their past matches of this season and even the first leg of the quarter-final, Chelsea is no match for Real Madrid. And presently, Real Madrid is at an aggregate advantage of 2 over Chelsea and I know that they will beat the blues easily in their next meeting next week.

I will even bet on this particular match as I bet a straight win for the Laliga side.
4187  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 13, 2023, 09:49:51 AM
Yes, indeed now they are 6 points ahead of Manchester City, but Manchester City has 1 game yet to be played, and if they can win that match, they will reduce the gap to 3 points. And if we look at the rest of the clubs they will face, Manchester City have fairly easy opponents from Arsenal, while Arsenal still have some tough matches.
That possibility still exists, that's right. If Man City can win next, then the difference in points will be even smaller. So there is still a chance for Man City to take over Arsenal's position. Later there will be a match that will certainly be very influential when Man City against Arsenal. It will be like a betting round for their position. And Man City will probably insist on winning, unless for some reason especially the UCL.
That is why Arsenal must continue to win in every remaining match before facing Manchester city and after. The two matches that Arsenal will face before facing Manchester city are against West Ham and Southampton. and I think the victory in these two matches will likely belong to Arsenal. because the comparison of strength with the two teams is very different this season. but Manchester City also has two fairly easy matches before meeting Arsenal, namely against Leicester and Brighton. against Leicester it probably won't be difficult for Manchester City but I think Brighton can make it a little difficult for them.
Arsenal has long edge in this competition than Manchester city, Arsenal has only the premier league to play, while Manchester city focus is only on the league and champions league title, and Pep Guardiola would rather lose the EPL than the champions league. Arsenal must not allow Manchester city to come close to them, Arsenal should Win all games than draw Manchester city, that's the only way they can clinch the title
Barely 5 weeks to the end of the season, Arsenal should have done better, particularly as they want to rewrite the history and the bad narration about the top EPL club. And for the fact that we still have 5 weeks and some days to the end of the league, anything could still happen as I don't trust Arsenal that much. Any attempt for them to lose one more match is detrimental to their quest of lifting the cup this season.

Also, Man City is desperate for the cup, and you could imagine what they did to Bayern Munich in the UCL. They are on fire and might not lose any match again till the season is over.
4188  Economy / Speculation / Re: Bitcoin can do 30k$ this month? on: April 13, 2023, 09:13:12 AM
We are still at the middle of the months of april and btc is already 28k$ so it is possible or it has a big possibility that it will go 30k$ price because we are almost there 28k$ is not too far from 30k and we start the year with a good market so maybe we are not far from bull run season.

Right now it's already reaching $29600 almost hit $30 and still moving forward, if support will hold then we might reached
$30K maybe within the day or two.

Lucky to those who are doing some leverage there's a good amount of profits for traders who did trust Bitcoin to be more bullish this week.

Still, lots of things that can happened, traders and investors still need to be more careful always do your DYOR.
DYOR is the best way out and I've always implored people to be their own speculators, which will help them so much to know when they buy, and sell and not to do anything at all. Bitcoin has moved past my expectation in the first quarter of 2023 and might even move beyond my pegged level for the year at $35k. This is because inflation that plagued the coin since 2021 has been subsiding since the last quarter of 2022, therefore Expect a more bullish run over time.

Still, my concern is that many people are still hesitant to buy it as some believe in some sort of cycle that it will still sell more before buying in 2024 as they are desperately waiting for halving.

Presently, I don't have a business using crypto processors, however, I know what is going on in the market. Before choosing this, you must weigh your business's size as offers/benefits vary with the industry's competition. Processors are somewhat secure but nothing on the internet is 100% secure, you should know that, and they always have almost the same transaction fees.

Nonetheless, you can trust all the ones listed below, still, you have to research each one based on what you want for your business as they have their varied services even beyond the mere acceptance and processing of your crypto. Your location matters too.

1. Bitpay
2. Coinbase commerce
3. Binance pay
4. Alfacoins

4190  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: April 12, 2023, 10:25:23 PM
I recently discovered that I signed up for a casino without thoroughly reading its terms and conditions agreement. But of course this was entirely my fault even that I am still bothered by the withdrawal requirements on deposits. It is well known that deposit bonuses or any bonus offered by a casino will have wagering requirements that goes to x50 or more. What truly concerns me is the 5X wagering requirement on normal deposits without any bonus in order to withdraw the initial deposit or winnings.
To clarify things better here is an example : if you were to deposit $1000 and win $200 in your first few games then you wouldnt be able to withdraw your winnings or even your deposits without wagering at least $5000. This means that 80% of the time, you would lose your money before reaching the required amount.
In my opinion this term is unfair. I am not attacking any specific casino, but I do believe that if users were aware of these requirements they would be less likely to deposit their money in such casinos since there are other casinos without such stringent requirements.
And this is where you should really be making yourself that aware about these platforms are regulated or something that been governed on which means that every deposit should really be having that wagering requirement. Why? We do know on the word "Money laundering" and if ever these sites or platforms doesnt really have that kind of rules then they would really be mainly be used as mixers specially to those
people who do launder up huge money which means that they could deposit and easily withdraws just to mix up their coins and cover up their traces.This is what they dont really like
for their company to be suffering any violations and also this had been a default thing for a while now.You would definitely get shocked if you are just a first time gambler.
This is the reason those wager requirements were established on the first place, casinos do not really like the idea of forcing their customers to go through those wager requirements but they do not really have any option, when they did not had those requirements hackers and scammers took advantage of their good will and used them as cheap alternatives to mixers, and most likely a few casinos got into some legal trouble because of it and since then they changed their policies to avoid those abuses.
What are you saying, bro? I see no point here to be candid. Fine, casinos are in the business to make money, and it would even be unfair for anyone to deposit money and withdraw it without wagering with it. It will be as if their (casinos) time and technology are being wasted or toyed with. But your defence of 'a must wagering,' which at times will be difficult to fulfil is out of it as your point that bad people use them for mixers is not valid for a reason one has to wager.

If casinos want to follow a strict money laundering procedure, they would. They would simply process withdrawals back to the originating account/address, and that ends the reason for your claim.
4191  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 12, 2023, 07:53:51 AM
Bayern Munich trailed 1-0 in the first half but their performance was good enough. They were able to make several great attacks. But in the second half, we only see the dominance of Manchester City players. Bayern Munich looks completely aimless. They are unable to attack or even counter Manchester City's attacks. Manchester City is playing very well. Bernardo Silva and Haaland both have a goal and an assist. But Bayern Munich goalkeeper Sommer is playing quite well today. Manchester City could have scored a few more goals had he not performed well
Haaland added to Bayern Munich's suffering in this match where Manchester City had won 3-0 over Bayern. I don't think the goals will stop and Manchester City will reduce the intensity of their attacks while they have the chance. It is still very possible to expect Manchester City to win 4-0 over Bayern Munich in the first leg, and they will be very comfortable in the second leg later.
Meanwhile, in other matches, Inter have won 0-2 over Benfica. Lukaku scored 1 goal from a penalty kick.

We had an opportunity to enjoy a wonderful match. Manchester City players have done a great performance. But we don't expect a poor performance from Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich is a very strong team. And their goal is the Champions League title. But they cannot play well. Recently they sacked their coach. New coach Thomas Tuchel has yet to mesh well with the team's players. Bayern Munich's match strategy and gameplay are both very bad for me. If they perform like this, they will not be able to beat Manchester City even in the home match. It was a mistake of the Bayern Munich management to sack the coach before such an important match.
The only reason why Bayern Munich could be humiliated like that is psychological. Man City is well prepared and has downgraded the club based on their EPL meetings with Tuchel as the coach of Chelsea. One might see it as no correlation, but there is, Tuchel as their coach indirectly added to the woe. They (Bayern) need to pull themselves out of this and rise to the challenge as they do not have the players' challenge but only allow Man City to overwhelm and demoralize them.
4192  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a place in the world you could live like a king via sig campaigns? on: April 12, 2023, 07:15:32 AM
Yes everyone can have personal opinion and it may not be mistaken, but signature campaign income doesn't guarantee you that you will always have earning will continue, Because it can be stopped anytime without any notice. but if you are a reputable member or qualified, I don't think anyone will sit because signature campaign is always running in the forum.
But among my local peoples there are some peoples who left their  corporate jobs behind bounty and signature campaigns, now their current situation is not so good.
Most people that abandon their permanent jobs to focus on signature campaign did that because they might be earning more from campaigns than their full time job earnings. It might be risky but some people are willing to take the risk. Currently, due to the global economic crises no job offers stability of tenure. If people had told workers in Silicon Valley Bank and Suisse Credit that some of them may lose their jobs this year they wouldn't have believed because their employers are believed to be big firms.

Basically, I think campaign earning will be able to give members an average living conditions  in developing countries that has low inflation rate and the value of dollars against thier local currency is high. There is no Western nation that campaign earnings can sustain a participant except it is added with another job 

Of course, everyone's situation is going to be different in terms of what they are doing with the time that is freed by their ability to quit their job, and if a job is fulfilling and perhaps allowing you to learn and build marketable skills, then that would be a good use of time, so I would agree with a premise that merely quitting one job and putting that effort into a signature campaign may or may not allow for the building of skills if ONLY just creating a few meaningless posts on the internet - yet there are likely some members who are able to figure out ways to network more and to build more skills and maybe even look for more paid gigs... gigs that are paid similarly, if not more than the work that they had been doing, so anyone who is able to get paid more for working less would likely be wise to take advantage of such opportunities because they would otherwise be able to use the time that they save in various kinds of better use of their time and perhaps even building skills. or looking for work...   

One of the problems in having regular jobs that might not pay well is that they can take a lot of the free time of anyone and even zap energy in such ways that the person does not have the time or the energies to even look for better paid work.. so they end up continually being trapped in low paid jobs and maybe not even having opportunties to develop their own skills or to engage in the kinds of activities that give them pleasures and even might motivate them.

Surely some of the advantages of in person jobs is the ability to meet other people and to network, but some kinds of jobs might not provide those kinds of benefits, so in that regards anyone who is trading their time or quitting their job might also consider whether their current jobs are giving them any benefits and might they be able to get those kinds of benefits, similar benefits or even better benefits in other ways... without having to spend a lot of time and energies and even having to possibly prepare to go to work and to commute can be time consuming and draining, too.
My take is that we should always advance to maximize every opportunity at our disposal. Internet income should be majorly perceived as a passive income unless a sustainable and substantial amount is made from it which the person must have seen as a career. For example, a signature campaign earning, I believe should be passive as a lot of spare time would still be available. For this, I see no reason why anyone should not effectively utilize their hours of the day so that their talents and skills could earn them better.

It could be a paid job, investment, or small business (it doesn't matter) that could be reliably called a career. What matters is that at least 10 hours of the day should be channelled to what basically earns for you by utilizing your potential.
4193  Economy / Economics / Re: Effects: Over-reliance on the US dollar on: April 12, 2023, 06:52:51 AM
Do nations really need to have a financial reserve in a particular currency of a nation? What are the implications of having reserves in multiple currencies? The dollar has been very stable because the US and its allies have always controlled the world economy. Currently, more nations like China and others have built their economy and they also want to control some segments of the world's economy.
I expected more from you. How could you say the USD has risen to its status because the US always control the world's economy? They can't do the magic, they rose to the level by actions and inactions. You might have an influence on the world's economy and through your policies cause havoc. I don't know how people like to heat up the polity for no just reason, but thankfully, the world's economists always see it differently and see the US as deserving, which is why I laugh at critics.

Any country can plan their affair and flourish, which is what the US did and is doing and attracts more investors in the economy and their currency, so it's practical.

In other words, the USD is reliable due to the US's wisdom of getting things mostly rightly done, not because they are superpowers or controlling. Other competing countries are free to do the same.

What will you do if you don't know that a online casino will ask you for KYC after winning over 8,000$ on the platform? And you now manage to process with the verification and they failed to pass you? Can you consider such a casino a scam?
This is not enough reason to label any casino scam. They can only be a scam if they did not give the money after satisfying all the required documents. This is common in online dealings, which is why it's good to be sure of the company you are dealing with. You may also ask questions before entrusting your money to them.

Also, imagine you get attracted to an online casino because of the bonuses they offer and you open an account and make your first deposit then you didn't receive the promised bonus, is this an act of scam or not?
This is a scam, they made your deposit by trick. It's actually against the law (Collecting money under false pretence). They will be guilty unless your friend did not meet their conditions as some might have the amount/limit that goes with that particular bonus. Just be sure of that.

4195  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do you still advised more buy and store? on: April 11, 2023, 12:18:08 PM
Yeah, I still advise people to buy if they have an amount to spare. Keep stacking Sats. Keep saving money in Bitcoin.

The price right now is around $30,000. That's still a good bargain price I think. That's far from the $20,000 price exactly a month ago, but you need to look further. You need to look beyond the small rise that the price just had. One day, you will look back to this day and realize that $30,000 is indeed a buying opportunity.
My advice is a little bit different from yours, Bitcoin has reached a certain high level that new holders should be careful of. Not that the coin will still not rise, it will reach the mood as a matter of fact, yet we have to be wise, be managerial and plan our investment at best. Buying at lower levels is the best and I can't encourage buying at over $30,000 (current price) in which the coin had moved about x2 of the price it was in the last 6 months.

I already have a substantial amount in the coin at lower levels, and I will wait till it has a meaningful retracement before adding to them. This might take months, but I don't care, I will maintain my stance of investing at a lower price, or else I will not invest at all.
4196  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 11, 2023, 08:32:05 AM
Next time I see Arsenal and Manchester City both have comfortable games to play. West Ham is an easy target for Arsenal to beat. You know that Newcastle demolished them in an away game recently by 5-1. It was quite surprising to me though as I wasn't expecting that big of a score at the end. Arsenal can also get a decent win against this vulnerable West Ham.

It is exactly the same for Manchester City. Leicester are even a worse team than West Ham this season. They are in the relegation zone and their recent form is terrible. There is nothing holding Manchester City back from destroying them home.
I think that Leicester City will not have any chance vs Manchester City and the latter could win big, at least with 2 goals difference tho.
For Arsenal, they ruined a game and they will not repeat it, the round after the mess was important. City will win and Arsenal will have to get along and win vs West Ham. WHU are quite good team even though they were hard to beat, this season they weren't at their best form. Gunners are way favourite to win here.
Their conditions are quite different in this regard, especially seeing Manchester City's positive record in contrast to the results Leicester have received in their last few matches.
It looks like it will be an easy bet because it is very complicated for Leicester even for Draw. but on the other hand I expect a bad result for Manchester City actually in this match even though this is something that will definitely be very difficult.

I believe it will be an easy win for Manchester City. Leicester have had back-to-back defeats lately and their situation is not looking good. They are in the relegation zone and this is a ranking they are not used to. Although the coach changes, the results remain the same.
Humanly speaking, Saturday is another +3 points for Man City as I don't know how possibly Leicester City will be able to beat them. The odds of this game are high for Leicester City on betting platforms as no one would speculate differently. It's possible that Man City scores between 2-4 goals, while Leicester City might score between 0-1 goals as they would find it difficult to beat the defence of Man City.

It's such a match that is worth betting on, Man City is desperate at this time that Arsenal has given them another opportunity to fight for the cup.
4197  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Life is good with 250 units of bitcoin; early opp. on: April 11, 2023, 07:48:20 AM
OP, you can see how long I've been a member of this forum (years) but don't for one minute assume that I'm some rich OG.  Just like you I could have bought bitcoin at a relatively low price, and had I just invested a few thousand dollars back in my early days....well, I wouldn't be among the super-weathly, but I'd be sitting pretty right now.

Which I'm not, because I did nothing of the sort.  On the other hand, I'm hesitant to ever say it's too late because I've told that to myself many times over the years and later found out I was dead wrong.  If you have to learn a lesson from your experience: "Don't be like TSC (that's me!)".  Either you believe in bitcoin or you're against it or you sit there on the fence while all the opportunities pass you by.  If I had the chance to start all over again, I'd be a believer and a buyer from the get-go.

I believe everyone familiar with Bitcoin and its recent history would have one or two things to say, but this might either be positive or negative. I share in your burden of thought on what has been missed since I also missed a lot when it comes to Bitcoin investment. It's painful to mention that I started hearing of Bitcoin in 2011 and I had a lot of transactions with it but never saved a dime till I joined BTT. How painful could that be?

I've also been in the field of trading and investment for almost 2 decades, which makes it more painful as a life-changing opportunity just slipped between my fingers despite playing with the trading chart daily. I've missed several millions of dollars due to this.

Still, it's not too late. I will only admonish you to be serious about it and be more speculative in order to gain substantially through it. I started trading and investing in Bitcoin last year and it's 'so far so good' due to my experience in trading. Aside from trading the futures, I hold it but I move it to USDT or $USD when a long-term bearish trend is detected. Then buy it back when a bullish trend is detected.

This has helped me in maximizing profits with the coin.

This is one of them, because if the USD is not the world's reserve and the most recognised currency, which currency would you nominate that would serve the decades of stability?

For the world to have relied on the USD for this long means that it's reliable. But no currency would have its uptime without downtime, yet the greenback has done its job quite well amidst all that. And from my experience of FX trading of almost two decades, there is no currency that is as stable as the USD. China, Russia and others are only rebelling as they are jealous of the US and the USD's power and dominance in the global stance.

I dare them to press further if their investors will not cut their huge losses over years.

The problem with any casino gambling strategy is there is no way to overcome the house edge. I used to play bustadice for fun with a Martingale script, but can't say I ever ended with a net profit. Actually I just signed into my account for the first time in 2 years and yep, sure enough, I posted a net loss.



You can see where I ended with a catastrophic loss, and that was thanks to Martingale. That sank the wind out of my sails and I never returned, lol.
What X were you playing on? I realized one very important thing about martingale, if you have a lot of reds you have to lower X
Are people still engaged with the martingale strategy in gambling? I thought they'd learnt from the past. Martingale could help when you are on your lucky day, but could still ruin your day, if not your month if not. A well-planned gambling strategy is better than a martingale with casinos in which the gambler is so aggressive and more risk is expected for more money to be made.

But this as well could work against the gambler in the process, which is the most common outcome of the strategy.

Arsenal seems to be favourite to win the 2022/2023 Premier League season but Manchester City is still very much in it and I think the winner would be either of the teams but being a Gunner, I just hope we win!

Arsenal lost 2 points at Anfield but they may have also lost the title. If I'm not mistaken, Manchester City will be champions if they win all their remaining games. Unfortunately, Arsenal lost full control of the game to Liverpool in the second half of the match and lost points in an important match. Anyway, this match was one of the best matches I've watched recently. Goal positions in the last minutes of this match are not experienced even in the 90 minutes of most matches.
Arsenal's draw against Liverpool yesterday really worried Arsenal's fans, because Arsenal failed to maintain the 2 goal advantage they managed to score before the first half ended. there are 8 games to go and if arsenal wants to be champion they have to win in all the next games and it will take a tough fight for arsenal (matchday 33 between man city vs arsenal will determine who wins the EPL this season).
No fan of such an expectant club would be at ease at this crucial time of the league. But truly, Arsenal did not live up to expectations, they relaxed and Liverpool took advantage. I believe Arsenal believed it would go on like that and perceived Liverpool as a weak team they could comfortably win, but this backfired on them as their middle and defence got relaxed.

The coach did well with the tactical formation seen on the pitch yesterday, it's left to the morale of the player which did not deliver as expected. One more loss might completely dash their hope of winning the tournament after about 2 decades, and it will be shameful when they are almost there.
