If you want to get rich, you have to become immune to the money.

What does it mean?

  • Do not desire your own money. It turns you from a producer to a consumer.
  • Do not desire the money of others. Envy is a deadly sin. Because it will distract you from your own mission.
  • Do not desire the money you will make in the future. Desire good work right now, You don't want cash in, you want to serve.

There is a different between Wealth and Rich my friend, these days anyone can be rich because of the modern age and improvemnet through civiliization, anyone can crawl into gambling today and gamble one or two things and then boom, he will just win millions. So easy these days to have a millionaire, even an ordinary person can be lucky to buy Bitcoin when the price was low and can become a millionaire without following all what you listed above, this is to tell you that road to richness doesn't have a manual, there are many ways to become rich.

However, it is not easy to maintain rich, this is where your lists are of help and very important for everyone that is already rich. It is easy today to even make this money but it is another struggle to keep it, some people are so lucky that they don't even ask to be rich but life is fair to them and they get rich so quick but if you don't maintain it, you not only suffer later, you might turn an object of ridicule to run from been nothing to something and then crawl down back to poverty which is going to be a shame.

How true is it? I want to ask the successful people here in this forum. What kind of rules or strategies that you guys use which led you to your success?

Success is a continue journey, I'm not sure how you view yours but the question ought to be people opinion on how to maintain success. I want you to know that people opinon varies and in the end, everyone will be saying the same thing. To maintain richness, make sure that you don't live any life above what you can't afford, you should also make sure to never run into a debt that will cripple you completely else you may not have a way to pay back and you will have to use your remaining money to pay any debt that you own especially if you run a business, be smart in every moves.

Just like that, BRICS now controls almost 28% of a global economy that's worth  over $28.5 Trillion.
The economy keeps getting worse and the hike both as concerns interest rates and crypto transaction fees has increased and keeps doing so yearly.

What do you mean by crypto transactions fees has increased? Is that suppose to be a green flag for crypto adoption or what because the banks charges are the reason why we want crypto to replace the transactions of the banks but the fees are discouraging especially what has been happening aroung bitcoin mempool and the spamming of the network where it is difficult to do transactions. However, if you are trying to say that the crypto transactions has increased, then I will say that is true and it is because the investors has increased as more troop into crypto in every bullrun.

Recently, we see countries like Saudi Arabia,  the UAE that has been making waves with several investments that may include multimillion dollar soccer stars signings, building the tallest building in the world, development of tourism and attractions that bewildered the mind. Also, Iran,  Egypt and Ethiopia has officially joined BRICS and although Argentina rejected the invitation, one question is this,

Are we seeing a time where BRICS currency and cryptocurrencies are the answer to a world tired of the us dollar?

https://watcher.guru/news/brics-welcome-2024-by-officially-adding-5-expansion-nations

I'm not sure if you have heard ECOWAS, it's a coalition of different countries across Africa with common goals but today, many of them has left because there is no benefits as some of them expected from the beginning and it has deviated from the vision of the body, don't be surprise if BRICS turn out to be the same thing. It is understandable that they are still new and they are making names because we have so many bad world economy situation but to me, I see this as noise and nothing serious. They might do some of their plans but save all this their noise, they don't have much to give to the world.

US dollar will remain a top tier, perhaps another currency will fight in the future but I don't think it is going anywhere soon. There are many memorandum that is still holding US relationship with many countries, any of them that tried to walk away will feel the pressure from them because US is smart for that matter, they only give you a deal that will only make you to beg them and stick to them for years and many decades.
443  Economy / Economics / Re: What would be your stance if Bitcoin price was individually negotiable as a P2P on: January 14, 2024, 05:24:02 PM
What if Bitcoin trading is individually negotiable based on the fact that it is a P2P transaction system, would there still be periods of time for regrets with the regrettable emotional saying "HAD I KNOW" due to your traded value after learning about Bitcoins suddenly value increments?

Bitcoin isn't a sort of assets where you can see some fracture that can make the price to be negotiable. It's not like gold where you could see some having some impurities. You will see some have rating of 99% purr gold and some having some metals combine with it and such aren't price well. If you have a kg of that, you can't sell at the rate with the one that is pure but bitcoin doesn't exhibit that characters, 1 bitcoin is equal 1 bitcoin.


Quote
I thought about this because I have seen sceneros where conventional traders regrets why they didn't over charged their customers on certain stocks due to the stock price has increased or it has been a product of treasures (scarcity).

It is just funny and tussling to think about how Bitcoin holders would be arguing of their stocked Bitcoins that " I have an original and reliable Bitcoin that is more authentic than the others do, I would sell mine at $100K others wailing to sell at $89K, $50K $30K, $95K, $20K practically based on individual influences in the Bitcoin marketing industry just like the normal stock markets.

I don't know that stock you are talking about but even in trading, there is order book where traders set there trade and everyone set limit in accordance to what they wish to buy. Logically, I think we have that in trading because if you scroll round the order book or buy and sell, you will see that some traders has orders in around $5000 per bitcoin, it's funny as you said but try and look into it and you will be surprised that this orders exist in order book.

I was just wondering if Bitcoin would still portray potential values of trusts and reputable goals of interest.

Value is in the mind and subjective but I think Bitcoin is rare and that is why it doesn't get priced like the way other assets can be price on. It's rare and something like it has never been done. IMO if not for the government hates toward this assets, the growth would have pass this level.
444  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Spot trading or future trading which trading is best for beginers? on: January 13, 2024, 07:58:46 PM
I don't think trading is best for a new crypto user so calling newbies here is stupid. Because new crypto users will leave the crypto market when they lose big money while trading. So beginners should practice well and push themselves to the latest level. You will get good results only when you have enough knowledge about crypto market.

You don't understand the context of newbies and you just jumped into conclusions that OP is stupid, even if he said what he said out of context, your statement doesn't justify it to attached stupid, you can just read what you want and move on.
On the aspect of newbie OP is saying, he is referring to a trader that has learn and understand trading basics and how to make use of technical analysis, with that experience you can make use of spot trading and futures even though futures is a little complex than spot but a beginner should only focus on spot and avoid greed.

When you master spot fully, you will learn how to navigate fully in futures because the market you are seeing is influenced and can be manipulated to suit makrte makers agenda and if you don't deal with spot trading enough, you will only be frustrated doing futures and you will only loss without making anything. In the end, you will quit and join the parks that has regarded crypto as scam and trading as not a place to make money. I think in life, everything is a gradual process, spot trading will open your eyes to many cheat code of the markey than futures.
445  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does this Qualifies you to give non-professional or semi-professional financial on: January 13, 2024, 07:46:06 PM
My question is quite simple and straightforward. If you have been holding and investing in Bitcoin for the past 15 years you have experienced several bull and bear markets. You witnessed the Bitcoin halving events in 2012, 2016, and 2020, as well as the unfortunate incident of Mt. Gox declaring bankruptcy in 2014 after losing approximately 850,000 bitcoins in a hacking incident. And you were part of the debates within the Bitcoin community regarding the scaling of the network to accommodate a growing number of transactions. You also observed Bitcoin reaching an all-time high of nearly $20,000 in 2017 and the significant institutional adoption that occurred from 2020 to 2021, with companies like MicroStrategy, Tesla, and others . Also you saw El Salvador becoming the first country to officially adopt Bitcoin as legal tender in September 2021. With this wealth of experience among many others not mentioned do you think it qualifies you to provide non-professional or semi-professional financial advice regarding Bitcoin to individuals?

I have seen some people here accounts registeree on 2014, 2013, 2012 and when you see them interact about bitcoin discussion, you will be ashamed of them but then again, I don't blame them because not everyone has current affairs of bitcoin and always stays updated with the trend surrounding bitcoin. If you asked some people about the all time high of bitcoin in 2016, they will tell you and tell you exactly why we had a price reversal in that price. We have them that can tell you everything but I think because bitcoin is a speculative assets, your opinion might not satisfy who you are giving an advice or financial advise.

However, I hope you know that in crypto, you are not allowed to give a financial advice to anyone unless you are register as one. Giving a financial advice when you are not a satisfied person will only land you in jail and because bitcoin investment is always risky, people don't like to give bitcoin advice because it can escalate in the wrong direction and your client might not be happy about it, stay safe when you give people advice buddy.
446  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Maybe future trade is gambling on: January 13, 2024, 07:33:55 PM
Futures trading may only turn gambling if you actually trade without knowledge and experience. That way, regardless if it's spot or futures, everything will definitely end up with gambling. And once you trade with high leverage, without being good experiences in futures trading, you will only end up trading like gambling.

Hence, I don't suggest for everyone here who is starting to trade to engage in futures trading as it's highly risky and has a high danger of losing if you trade without sufficient skills and strategies.

With experience or without it, futures is gambling because there is liquidation and with that included, you risk losing everything. The way you don't have control over gambling result is the same way you don't have control over liquidation but you can manage it by either making more deposit or trading with cross margin so that you can have options to make more deposit incase you of liquidation but as a trader, do you intend to make more deposit into a cross margin when you want to make more money?

Trading on spot is like risking all you have in anticipation for growth but futures is something like you are betting with another trader that the price will come up or down while the other person is predicting that the price will come down or up. You guys are counter trading eachother and is who ever is correct among you too will be having a green PNL. I wouldn't advice any trader to do futures.

For professional traders, futures trading is a big opportunity to gain instant wealth but for beginners, it requires specific knowledge and skills first, hence beginners when they tend to do futures trade, they mostly end up gambling knowing they have less or no experiences in futures trading.

Trading with high leverage will add more risks but the rewards are also worth the trades that’s why a lot of traders suicide to do futures trading but still end up losing because they lack the skills and experiences to succeed.

The higher you risk, the high chance of you getting liquidated quickly. When I see traders doing 15x and 25x, I see it as a greed and nothing more. It's will give you a profit of 15-25x quickly because of traders with less capital but any sharp decline will take that small capital from you before you even blink an eye, even I'm to trade sophisticated trades other than spot, it's will be margin with 3x maximum, it wouldn't exceed that range.
447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 13, 2024, 07:21:23 PM
Chelsea's match against Fulham was quite fierce in the first half and Chelsea managed to take a 1 goal lead through the penalty point at the end of the first half.
Overall, Chelsea's performance is still not improving, especially Chelsea's front line which is not optimal in completing opportunities, but on the other hand, Fulham's performance is also quite bad in this match so Chelsea's chances of maintaining their lead or even adding goals in the second half are still quite large.
This should be a victory for Chelsea and they must win 3 points in order to continue to improve their position in the Premier League standings.

It was the aggressiveness for me. They are the home that invited Fulham but they are the ones with the most earned Yellow card in that match with 5:1 ratio against Fulham. If they not for that Penalty, they wouldn't have had anything to hedge upon but that lead goal in the early second half was what they used as thick wall to suspenf all attacks on Fulham and hence why they got more red of yellow card in the second half. I guess Pochettino has to be be careful in managing his players and the ones to start in the next match to avoid missing next round of matches.

With this little development from Chelsea, after many weeks of staying in one place, they really had to love from the table finally to stay ahead of Manchester United. This is a called for celebration for Chelsea fans but cry for Erik Ten Hag men because I don't know the kind fumes and insult that will be coming from their mouth tomorrow but if they manage to win Tottenham, then the damage can be fix easily.
448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you be worried or comfortable seeing your elderly mother gambling? on: January 13, 2024, 01:27:19 PM
Anyone is free to gamble, that is their own decision and not mine, if I can't help them in any way or means to make her life better then I must be very careful of not being a hindrance to what makes her happy, there are some people who have completely find gambling as a means of joy to them, they gamble to get rid of dulling moments of their life, try to avoid being worried about life and get more excitements in gambling than focusing on life huddles and cuddles, but I'd she's not gambling the way it is expected, I may be forced to step in advising her.

There is no laws that state no woman is allow to gamble their but can't call this a fun, the woman was just sitted waiting for her games to come as she might has predicted. Wouldn't it be better if she do it in the comfort of her own house, even if she is not a digital type of person, I think there are ways for people to gamble on their fun that are not too complex and some can be done in areas or maybe ask someone to do the picking for you nicely.

Look how comfortable the woman is sitting, I'm sure that if you look around the enviroment you will count more than 20 men before you count 1 lady, will you allow your mum to sit in this kind of place if we are to be honest with each other. There is nothing fun about this, you can tell that she was there for making money, because I don't know how an elderly person will come to this place and call it some fun. I have seen male elderly people gamble but the female is rare that is why I'm surprise seeing her in a gambling house that is not a casino house but a sport betting center.

It seems to me that people of different ages, social status, religion, etc. are interested in gambling. I would not be surprised at all if I met an elderly woman in a betting shop. Not only does she have the same gambling rights as many other people.... which means it's not unheard of. It could well be that she was betting at the request of a friend or family member and was upset because now she has to bring someone some bad news.

I'm not bother about her appearance about the gambling but the I see young guys deals with gambling addictions, it will be devasting and hurt if you see a mum struggle to deal with gambling addiction. For the religion, I'm not sure for other religions but generally muslims with true faith is not suppose to bet, this is why you don't see them bet openly and there ladies are not allow to bet. They can't come to a public place like this not to talk more of gambling.

Whenever I remember that De Bruyne is back, then am always having conference that Manchester city will defeat Newcastle, even as Newcastle are playing at home advantage, they won’t be able to compete with Manchester City because there performance has dropped dramatically, and Manchester squad is getting stronger, I see the match to be a easy win for Manchester City, what will be pep Guardiola target right now will be how he will be able to take back first position, and am sure he will be able to do that because the point difference between Manchester city, and Liverpool is kind of close, and Manchester City is still having one outstanding match to play.

I'm skeptical about Manchester City match against Newcastle because Haaland is still injured and I Guardiola has ruled him out of the squad that will be facing Newcastle in St. James but considering the shape of Newcastle, I can't judge their past performance with the what is going to happen next in this match because they have not only been performing badly, their scoresheet is very bad and not the kind of team I think can battle Manchester City.

De Bruyne is back but not stable as we all might want him to play. Been away a while affect a player because he has not been playing and when they comes back from injury, they don't have much time to train before coming back strongly. I'm very sure is because Haaland will not be available in that Newcastle match and that is why De Bruyne was quick fix into that match to start for them.

Secondly, Osimhen’s agent, Roberto Calenda is not at fault to find that insulting for another agent to dictate or predict the future of his player since such can affect the reputation of his player. Any thing about the transfer of the player from Napoli to any other club, not just the Saudi clubs have to be announced by Calendar and not Judeli because they are sensitive to the player's professional career. Delving into such issues to make public announcement kindof will only result in crisis especially when Osihmhen just signed a renewed contract with Napoli not quiet long.

There is internal reef between Osimhen and Khvicha agent else I don't think any agent out of nowhere will make such a horrible comments about another good player. He is no position to speak for Osimhen and I love the way Osimhen return unapologetic statement, he should keep Osimhen out of his mouth and focus on his player to get Napoli to the top of the league since they claim it wasn't Osimhen that did but Khvicha that did all on his own. I hate Seria A league to be honest.
450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 12, 2024, 09:14:50 PM
We countlessly experiences new gamblers on daily basis in the gambling boards. Not just in this platform of
a mere gambling discussion but in a reality of gambling. So briefly, I call to your attentions the newbie gamblers to be aware that>>>
"Responsible gambling is cordially adhered by your audible alertness to realize that temptations as irresponsible gambling is inspired by your desperacies of making profits or recovering your losts".

Fellow experienced gamblers, your brief contributions would also be valuable.


Ganble responsible is a two letter words but if we want to elaborate it, it mean lot. It's a small tip every gambler should always have with them as it protect you from situations like gambling management and deposits, it help protects you and your bankroll, gambling responsibly means make sure to never be addicted, make sure you have time for yourself and don't regret any bets you play, the thought of loss will only drain you and makes you feel less of gambler that will likely lose again and be prepared for any outcome, if your minds is always winning, you hate gambling.

There is one that I want to personally say, never borrow money to gamble because most of the people I know that has done that didn't end well and which is why you should never gamble with any money that is too important for you. In addition, you don't need to follow anyone advice, your choice is yours to make and not because another gambler is winning and you think you will listing to his strategy, you will only lose if you that.

I think Barcelona should be careful with Joao Felix. Buying him looks dangerous given Barcelona's financial position and his lackluster performance. They have greater problems like debt, so focusing on a premium player like Felix may not be sensible. I think they should focus on defense rather than buying a questionable attacker. Jarrad Branthwaite is amazing. Its no wonder Manchester United and Real Madrid want him. Everton has a jewel, and if they play their cards well, they could profit from his sale. They have a good chance to recover financially.

Joao Felix has been used so much as loan, he deserves some level of respect at this time and be free to decide on his own but not by the club but I don't think Barcelona has the resources to extract him from the contract that bind him with Atletico but I will really love to see him make decisions on his own and not by the club public interest. This is why a young players need to be careful with the kind of deals they accept because they want a club badly, if he has signed a small duration contract, Atletico deal would have expired long time ago.

Mbappe's contract expires at the end of the season. Also, he is not getting successful results with Paris Saint-Germain FC outside Ligue 1. Therefore, his transfer to Real Madrid would be a very reasonable development. But Haaland is still under contract at Manchester City. And he continues to achieve a lot of success at Manchester City. I think Haaland's transfer to Real Madrid is not realistic. I will be very surprised if Haaland transfers to Real Madrid.


If Mbape sign the next contract with PSG, then I will believe that their is something wrong with him not after what they did to him when the season was about to start. I remember how he was denied entry to even the GYM where he can train and he will really want to sign a new deal. I think there is something he loves about PSG because why will you abandoned Real Madrid and go a place like PSG. I don't so.
452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 12, 2024, 08:46:14 PM
Once you find yourself in that condition just know that you are going to waste your time, money and energy in gambling and the reality is that most of the people that have a fixed mentality that they must win in their gambling are the ones that always loose their money in process.

Gambling is not a means to an end and their is no guarantee that you must win in the process so just do your prediction and enjoy the fun, if you win, thumbs up for you but if you don't win don't allow it get at you and don't assume you can always win back your money, learn and master the right time to walk away.

There is a misconception about this gambling of a thing as a source of income, as side husle and the fun of it. If gambling is really as fun as it is said to be, we will have more people that will dwell on that all the tune but ask people around you about gambling, they will tell you not to start it if you haven't try it and if you have try it, they will tell you to stop because of the addiction and losses some people has experience for some time.

However, that doesn't mean we don't have people have made through gambling. We have people that has made fortune from gambling and they are making it as we speak right now from gambling, such people are destined to create wealth from gambling but they are few so judging by the numbers, gambling as a source of income isn't a thing to even try.

As for side husle, I think it's good got the seasonal gamblers that has win to loss ratio of 4:1, they win 4 and lose 1 and they have been able to make money from gambling and doing their other jobs. Some even use the money they make from gambling to increase the size of their business and continue to run both of them and it works for them as a side husle.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do gamblers always ague alot? on: January 12, 2024, 08:37:33 PM
watching football at home or football viewing centres which is more convenient or preferable? Because most times if you go to viewing centre you'll discover that the agument is much and at times they make you feel uncomfortable to whatch the match. The people playing the game are comfortable and receive their payment, but people keep agueing what is meaningless and sometimes pick a fight because of agument. and this has made many to stop watching football in viewing centres despite the fun in viewing centre compead to home view.

Watching match at home or viewing centre which is more convenient or preferable?

So what is your experience on Gambling viewing centre and what have you learn and how were you able to handle such situation?

I want to inform you today that it's not all football fans that gamble, many of them just love the entertainment football gives them, saying they argue doesn't mean anything, it's the only thing that makes football even fun because when you makes belittle a team, it gives you moral to ridicule them the more even when you know you are wrong. Sometimes we make this argument not because we are even right but it's fun to make them feel less and in return, they respond to make you feel less and they hype their team to be the best.

If you observed viewing centers, you will notice that some of them came their with their cars and from their look alone, you will know they have the means to buy that TV and do subscription to watch the ball at home but they don't and it's because their is no joy and fun in watching it alone especially those that it has mastered very well, they don't sit and watch football matches alone until they see crowd to argue with solely for the fun.

Now my experience in viewing gambling viewing center, I don't have much but the guys who bet in that places usually are virtual players that bets on live games, they don't really give much attention and argue like the main guys that doesn't gamble because all his attention will be on how to win the money and not mock or ridicule any of tbe rival teams.
454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 11, 2024, 09:40:05 PM
But it's kind of weird that this is the second season in a row that the team has performed poorly. It's not a bad performance though, more like an unlike Chelsea. And now, when it is repeated for the second season in a row - it is obvious that people will compare Chelsea not with the top teams, but with the average ones, among which they are in the table

How can a team has the same number of win and loss and we expect them to bouce back, how? Not like there is changed or new player that has come into effect. I remember the last time when Lampard was facing the same challenges, Kante came and everyone was thinking yes, he will improve the quality of their performance but it seems the opposite was what happen. To effect a major change in the team, the coach must go and that is Pochettino and his crew including the assistant.

You got to be kidding me if you were expecting him to be good. He was on Tottenham for 5-6 years iirc but nothing really impressive there and yeah Tottenham is not really a team that are expected to win the league but they were not really a threat either way. He somehow got a job on PSG and obviously he won the league which is expected but he didnt win the UCL even with an impressive squad like PSG so actually its just kinda miracle that he landed another job on EPL especially Chelsea

Some of the great men you see today with high score in trophies didn't bring their trophies from elsewhere, they started it from somewhere and with consistency, they deliver. So I don't think Chelsea did anything bad in recruiting Pochettino. He said he was upto the task and a deal was done I believe and for them to agreed on that, the board of director definitely knows his position and resume than anyone outside the Chelsea but I just think he had been a failure.

The same also happen to other clubs, it's just that Chelsea is a big club and it's been a long time since they had this underperformance and are now the subjects of discussion else I think we have other teams in the league that are way worse than Chelsea. Even Manchester United is suffering from the same faith of underperforming team just that they have been moving and making efforts to the top of the table unlike Chelsea that has remained permanent.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 11, 2024, 09:21:45 PM
Yeah, I think man has more ego and pride whenever they are losing they won't quit until they win or try to recover their loss. This can be applied to gambling since it's a 50/50 chance where it's a win or lose. Women can accept loss as some of them have the mindset of "it is what it is" It's like once gambling experience where the man would go back to take revenge or to win again. Still, I think when it comes to gambling gender doesn't matter as every person has a unique personality and attitude. Even a man can handle their emotions and a woman can still gamble again, so in short, it depends on the person how to handle risk management whether they are a man or a woman.

I'm really learning from gambling with different opinions and posts that I'm seeing a about gambling. So pride and loss now have a relationship with a man, wonderful!!! I don't think no one enjoy loss and it has nothing to do with pride, if pride is what precede your decision in gambling then I must say that the person has poor management of bankroll because you will fall back to nothing if you don't put some things into consideration, if you don't take caution, you will not last in gambling.

I'm not sure about general opinion about men and women opinion about pride but women have more pride than men. I think what you wanted to say is that women has more tears than men and they are careful on how they spend and when you put fear before gambling, it will be difficult for you to make a harsh decisions that will not favour you and that is what I think will make women better gamblers than men.

Basically there is nothing better at gambling between men and women, it's not about women being calmer and being able to control themselves, it's just because men are a lot of players and generally our gaze will be focused on men, in my opinion that's the same as women

OP awareness might be subjective to what he has seen I think and it is because we have few women that gamble, unlike the men. We have people that are very good in gambling among the men, we have bad gamblers among the men and we have average among the men but you can't say the same for the ladies. It might be that OP saw few women that won gambling and was convinced to say what he said about women and gambling.
456  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think women will make better gamblers by their nature? on: January 11, 2024, 11:32:14 AM
Women by nature are more conservative than men. They are better manager of resources and know how to prioritise things. This is what is needed for successful gambling because with it, the chances of using funds meant for basic needs in gambling will be minimised.

So do you think women will make better gamblers than men?

If I may ask, what is that special thing that is more conservative about women than men in gambling? This is not some sort of businness enterprise that you think women can handle well than men or maybe a kind of specialization where women tend to do better than men. In short, we have more number of men that gamble than the men, only few women gamble because they can't risk like men and they don't have the audacity to spend like the way men do, unlike we that are pressure to suceed in life, women don't need to gamble life like the way men does.

I know many guys that are into street gambling, by that I mean men that gamble and share similar games to win the same thing outcome and I have never seen women does that, if there is conservative nature as you said, we will have more of them than even the men because seeing is believing. Most of them that I have seen that gamble don't book codes as they are even lazy, they prefer to check codes of others and stake them to win. Some are even addicted to gambling especially the ones that don't have work and are looking for ways to make money from gambling, your theory is false.

Chelsea's problem is not that they lost players who went to the Saudi Arabia league because most of the players who left are not important. An example is Ngolo Kante who was always injured and contributed little to the club. Even after some of these players left, the club spent money on more quality players. The problem the club has now is how to score goals because they have some of the best midfielders and a considerably solid defense. I don't blame the fans if they want more from the clubs because they have endured a turbulent period for about two seasons and the money that has been invested in the club looks like a waste considering the current performance.

Did you said Ngalo Kante made a little contribution to Chelsea? I beg to differ. How did they win that Champions League of 20/21? Kante was there and protected that back midfield with that first goal they used to lead Manchester City to the end and he was recognized that day for that contribution. The only setback I think he has is that constitent injury but I think he is not the first recongnized player to get such type injury, it is the club dedication that made them like that, I believe if he refuse to play much he could have easily avoided such injuries.

In every season, it is good when the team makes changes to the squad and what Pochetino did was the best and the interest of Chelsea, some of the team he sold where good but old and needed to be discarded which I think most of them already made their mind since the team couldn't do best anymore and new players where the best alternative but there has never been any changes after that and at this junction, the players are not the problem but the playing style and that is coming from him, look at how Fernandez has become less attractive player to the market.

It will be highly discouraging if the club fails to beat Middleborough at home in Stamford Bridge. They should expect to see a Middleborough that is willing to give all to make it to the finals. That match will be very hard for Chelsea to win because they will encounter one of the biggest defensive games and if they make any defensive mistakes Middleborough will take the lead and back the bus till the end of the match. But I hope Chelsea knows what is at stake and give their best to make it to the finals. I expect to see a classic final between Liverpool and Chelsea.

Liverpool are not playing this time, don't expect Liverpool to allow them get through because it is happening in Anfield as their home, secondly they now top the standing and they will likely stay there when they can or probably not come down again because even there last 5 games is scary, not a single loss and there matches is not win based on luck but by perfomance and hardwork, even when Salah and some other Africa players has went for AFCON, the team is stronger and I believe they can do more without him to battle Chelsea.

If this news about the sack of Pochetino is true according to, then it's really a sad one for Chelsea even though some fans wouldn't agree with this as a sad news. Chelsea ought to have giving him time because that's what the team needs to improve, no coach will come into an overhauled club with entirely new players except for Silva and start doing magic with the team. Perhaps yes or perhaps not maybe this decision could bring in a different performance to the team based on the personality of the new coach that will be filling the space.

In my opinion, it will be wise and welcoming if the Chelsea management can bring in Antonio Conte to manage this Chelsea team. He Conte has been in the club previously and knows much about Chelsea's style of play and with his professionalism I feel he will be one of the best man to manage and bring back the fire to this soft and dull current Chelsea squad.

This took much time than I expected, there are times teams don't remain in form because of players injury or natural occurence that are beyond the team performance but Chelsea has had enough  bad reputation and result over a year now, it is high time they call a spade a spade and allow the team bring another coach a vision to train these for good, Pochetino can't do much than what he has been since the beginning of the seasom. I gag so hard anytime he makes comment about how he still believe the team can do better before the end of the season.

By the way, what if this is just some bloggers trying to push an agenda, If this is real then I think Fabrizio will have been giving us update on what has been happening on standford bridge but as like this, there has never been recent update from him and neither has he posted something similar to what you have posted. I hope this is true, enough is enough with Pochetino and his sick games style.

Girona showing their strength, you comment about the incompetence and how are inexperience they're but still yet, they are competing with Real Madrid for the first position on the league table, that alone proofs they're in excellent shape to withstand whatever pressure coming their way. Aligning with your words, you seem 100% confident of the predictions regarding the movements of these players. As for the fact stated out, playing for Real Madrid is very much consider to be under pressure because Real Madrid is an elite club and they will want the very best from their players in all circumstances.

You know when a team has manage to stay relevant for many years, the more they dominate the league, the more it is hard to remove them. Barcelona and Real Madrid have been the main team that usually remain at the top of the league and if we want to be surprised Atletico Madrid will come to the top and that is how it has been for decade as I know and this because this clubs are rich, they buy the type of players they need just like Real Madrid are running for Mbape right now.

Now when a minor team they don't expect climb up, they don't believe in them and that is the culture of the league but we need to understand that football is changing and this changes means less monopoly, it wouldn't be a bad thing to see if Girona win the Laliga trophy because they have never won any before since they have qualifying for Laliga.


The issue with Khivicha Kvaratskhelia’s agent and Osihmen is just something I point out to be a thing of Jealousy because how can you say a thing like that to a player which you don’t even represent. It is purely a disrespect to Osihmen and I love the fact that he responded to the comment.

Jealousy shouldn't be bring to the public, that statement he made was too insensitive and childish and unprofessional, it's a shame they keep dragging Osimhen over little things but I love how he doesn't silent for bullies. I don't even know why he is so serious with Napoli that don't love him, it's better he go for other valuable club, he can do more over there.

We now live in a world where we are busy making money and making ends meet. We have to in order to survive. The competition is so high that sometimes we lose ourselves in that process. We are busy making a successful life so that no one related to us won't suffer. Having a decent bank balance, having a property or having a car. Working to the extreme to make that dream come true.

Sometimes, I blame the society for measuring standards for people. The world was a happy place before the internet but now, it is now a place to oppress each other with success pictures on how life journey and how we have made it in life and the person looking these pictures on other end might have not yet make it, this will make him feel less of a man and will want to do anything to succeed in life, we go beyond limit to be successful just to show the world that we have made it that we even forgot to be happy about the little things that matters.

But in that process, are we giving enough attention to our surroundings? People close to us or our loved ones, are we giving enough time to them? When we are gone, what will they say about us? Or even if someone left us forever, will we have enough memory to remember them?

Earning money and being successful is important in life. But never forget who you are and the people around you. Money is not everything. It is important to survive but make sure to take some time to bond with people around you. It will also help reduce the anxiety or stress that you are having because of all that work.

Trust the process, you will be successful one day for sure. But never lose your own soul in that process.

Gone are those days when we believe in gradual process because with patient, anyone can cross a mile a way but now, everyone want to be successful on time and I blame the society for making this standards. If not that we don't look beyond, most of the successful people that we have today are not in there early 30s, top 100 richest people in the world today are above 40 years old but you will see a teenage person want to be successful in life when he is still in college or living under the roof of his parent, indeed we have so many sad generations among us.

Life doesn't have a manual, just believe in your goals and objectives, life is not a linear line that you can have the way we want, you can fall as many times but always learn to progress and learn from mistakes, you will eventually get there one day if you are consistent in the journey.
