If you see any woman gambling, then she is doing it for fun, and not because she wants to make profit from it. Women are good at managing funds, and that will make them not partake in activities that they know they will run at loss.
When you talk about addiction, it is like a plague, and whoever is addicted be it man or woman will behave the same way because they cannot control themselves anymore. This is why you hardly see women gambling for profit because they know that they can become addicted which will affect them mentally. If a woman gets addicted, she easily get free from addiction compare to a man.

Does any of you guys have any negative side of gambling habit in you which literally you advices anyone not to exhibit it?
Or can you afford to hide your real disreputable gambling life just to help an astray gambling friend or relative?
The fact is that all gamblers know the disadvantages of gambling but it can be controlled based on the mindset in which you have whenever you are gambling. Some people know that chasing their losses will only incur more losses but they prefer to play more believing that the more they play, the more their chances of winning is high, amd before you know it, they will become addicted that it is only to win that is in their mind. Am addict cannot pretend or hide his addictive lifestyle from anyone, because he cannot control himself. It is only those that are responsible gamblers that can consider a friend who is going astray with gambling, in order to see how he can help his friend out from going astray. |

With what Bayern Leverkusen has shown this season in all competitions, they can match Real Madrid and Manchester City shoulder-to-shoulder if they have the chance to play against Real Madrid and Manchester City this season. We have seen how clubs that Bayern Leverkusen is greater than this season have scored goals against Real Madrid and Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League competition, so there is a possibility that Bayern Leverkusen can beat Real Madrid and Manchester City if they play a match this season.
What you say is more than impossible if you want it this season, because it can only happen next season when Bayer Leverkusen plays in the Champions League and that would certainly be very interesting for everyone to see when the greatest teams of this season face each other. with teams like Real Madrid and Manchester City who are generally also quite strong in competitions like the Champions League. But before that, everyone still wants to see Bayer Leverkusen win the UEL trophy this season because that will also be quite interesting to see. Not in the Champions League next season, although there is still a possibility that they will meet in the Champions League next season but what is more certain is, if Bayer Leverkusen win the Europa League title this season and Real Madrid win the Champions League this season. Then ofcourse, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid will play in the UEFA Super Cup, because the UEFA Super Cup will bring together or match the winner of the Champions League v the winner of the Europa League. But unfortunately, when the season ends then of course there will be a transfer window that will occur and it is possible that their squad will also change a little. But indeed,it would be more interesting if for example Bayer Leverkusen played against Real Madrid and Manchester City this season but unfortunately, that is not going to happen. This season is wrapping up and it is the outcome of this season European competitions that will determine if Leverkusen and Real Madrid will play the UEFA super cup next season. It will be an interesting match to watch because I will love to see how these two teams will end the match, if Leverkusen will resist defeat or not. I think Leverkusen needs to buy more players to the ones that they have when transfer window is opened instead of selling what they have, because they have a great competition ahead of them next season which is UCL, and they need to take that competition more season as they did this season with all their matches. If Xabi sells and did not get a better player for replacement, it might affect the team performance next season. |

For Atalanta vs Marseille, Atalanta is surely the favorite team to win the match. Moreover, the next match will be in Atalanta home. I guess Atalanta will score many goals in their home. They must try to score as quick as possible in the first half of the match in Leg 2.
However, if the result is that the two teams play again in a draw then we will see the match last even longer. I mean it could go to extra time or a penalty shootout and in that way it's the mental health of the players that will be at stake. To be honest I didn't want to see it through to 90 minutes and it would have been better if everything had been done quicker. Atalanta really has the advantage and I think if they can lead on aggregate by 2 goals or more then it's over for Marseille to hope to advance to the European league final. Anyway, I am also favorites for Atalanta to advance to the final and I will bet on them then. Atalanta will be playing at home and that is a good advantage on their side over their visitors. In the first leg, Atalanta was able to score first away from home before their host Marseille equalized the goal. This shows that Atalanta can score this time again and will be able to defend their goals till the end of 90 minutes. Atalanta is currently in a good form as they have reached far in two competitions showing their quality and seriousness of winning a trophy this season. Marseille can also survive through to the finals if they can come up with surprises on that day, because this season is a surprising season so far. |

Whoever does anything in fear might end up making wrong decisions, and regrets their actions, because whoever rush in will rush out with great loss. Patience is what really matters in trading and we should not allow greed allow us make hasty decisions when trading.
Rush has made a lot of traders make great losses, which assuming they didn't make such hasty decisions, they would have been able to manage their losses. Also don't enter the market when you don't understand the market. Risky business like trading needs time. Newbies rush into trading and rush out after they have lost it all.

Some people were shocked by the Barcelona game, but those of us who have been paying close attention have seen this kind of possibility for a while. They know how to fight and are good at it; they just need to use it more often. They could be a strong contender if they can get rid of those ups and downs. Real Madrid is a totally different animal. But the way Girona is playing now, with that underdog spirit fueling them? I'm not going to rule them out just yet
Barcelona's main problem this season has been their defense, they have started conceding too many goals and this has let them down at the most crucial moments. I can’t understand the reason in the defense or in the goalkeeper, probably all together, but if Real concedes 22 goals, and Barcelona concedes 43, which is twice as many, then it is clear that with such indicators it will be difficult to fight them on equal terms. Xavi needs to think about strengthening his defense. Of course Barcelona defense is a major problem that they have, but is it that some of their players are injured, because I could remember people singing praises of Barcelona after they started the season poorly, and was able to pick back their form. The fact is that Barcelona is messy this season, because it was these same players that they used in winning till this time, that they started losing. Something needs to be done fast on their defense before next season if they don't aa g to end up like this season winning nothing and allowing Real Madrid to win almost all the trophies. They started poorly, and it looks like they will end poorly too. |

You say cruising? Madrid are coming stronger and well tactically inclined more than ever. I watched their last match with Bayern, they played confidently but not with the sole aim to win the game, they just wanted at the lowest a draw while away and they secured the result. For Bayern coming down to Santiago Bernabeu is a bigger threat, winning Madrid In Santiago will be as a result of penalty shootout or a last minute goal after several extra time.
If Bayern also love to win Madrid, they should aswell try to play some outside box shot, trying to play the ball inside Madrid box is difficult to keep up with, Madrid got really good defenders that makes it difficult to penetrate that easily. Bayern are left with this only opportunity to win a trophy or go trophyless this season because they already lost the Bundeslisga title to Leverkusen.
The Bundesliga giant and Real Madrid will face each other in the mid-week at Santiago Bernabéu. It's going to be one of the top matches that will either results to credibilities. Bayern Munich have always been a headache for Real Madrid but we know the Spanish giant always finds way to put them in their place. Real Madrid is the most formidable team in the UEFA Champions League this season and the next. Los Blancos have done their best to equipped their performance with instant evident results. At least they were undefeated in Germany in the first match. Things will be a little easier in Spain. Real Madrid has the power to destroy any team. Bayern is also full of surprises. Can he win in Spain? Real will probably win, but when it comes to Bayern, I can't help but wonder if there will be a surprise. Football is full of surprises and let's hope to one by tomorrow or next. If Bayern will be able to surprise the world then it will be a big shock to me because, I have never considered Bayern to be in the finals while Real Madrid goes is not. Real Madrid is the league favorite, apart from that they are playing at home giving them a higher odds of winning the match. Real Madrid have good strikers and the players are ready for the match. It will be good if Bayern does not relent in scoring back any goal scored by Real Madrid, or better still let Bayern try to score first, because if they allow Real Madrid score and they fail to equalize the goal immediately, Madrid might score the second goal. |

After watching Manchester City's game against Wolves on Saturday afternoon, I think it'll be very difficult for any of the three teams that'll be facing them in
The Manchester City match against Wolves was already obvious to turn out this way because wolves has been going through some challenges in performing well which was unlike them and the moment they lose there home match against Bournemouth I knew that they will go through pressure on the hands of Manchester City because if they were in a good form they would not have easily lose the match against Bournemouth, however there poor performance gave Haaland the opportunity to score the kind of goals he did on that match because recently he has not been scoring this much on there previous matches but this match wolves vulnerability gave him the privilege to. Nothing has changed about Haaland but there were several matches where he was not given space so Haaland was not free to play his best game and in the match against Wolves the player showed his quality again. It was not surprising for Manchester City's big win because they deserved to win because in terms of strength, Manchester City was much stronger. For the rest of the matches this season I think only the match against Tottenham is a little difficult for Manchester City and the rest I think nothing and in my opinion if Manchester City manages to win over Tottenham in the next match then there is a big chance they will win the title this season. I know that nothing has changed about haaland and also I'm not saying that he is not good in scoring but however the point I was trying to highlight was the fact that this there match against wolves was actually different from there previous matches because the opportunity he has on this match was more better than those of there previous matches because wolves was so poor in performance that all there position was leaking from there midfield down to there defends and there was nobody to mark haaland very well, had it been that wolves was that strong it would have been very difficult for haaland to have scored that much but all together Manchester City is a very strong club. Even at that we still need to give credit to Haaland for scoring four goals in one match. It is the weakness of a club that becomes the advantage of their opponent in order to defeat them. If both clubs are very strong and the game is balanced, all we would see will be a draw, because everyone will be very careful and play safe. Haaland has being finding it difficult to net the post after he came back from injury, and I have being wondering why, this is why I was happy to see him score those number of goals against wolves. At leat that will motivate him in the next match to put in his best in order to score more goals. He is currently the highest goal scorer and I don't think that anyone will take that from him this season. |

Juventus can't win anymore.
14 points in the latest 14 games, and only 3 wins.
The qualification for the next Chamspion league is now closer but not yet achieved.
A big part will be done next week with the game between Atalanta and Roma, 2 contenders of Juventus.
In the last 4 matches, Juventus have not been able to win and this is very unique because in the last 4 weeks, Juventus have only achieved consecutive draws. Whether it's against strong teams like Milan and Roma or against mediocre teams like Cagliari and Torino. But getting 1 point in every match can still be said to be quite good. Because with this, Juventus will still have the opportunity to get tickets to the UCL. And I'm sure Juventus will remain ranked in the top 3 or 4 until this season ends. And Juventus currently still has an important match in the Italian Cup. Namely, Juventus will fight for the trophy in the Italian Cup final against Atalanta. I believe the Coppa Italia finals is what Juventus is putting all their attention on currently, so that it will be better for them to win a trophy than nothing since they have lost out from the title race with Inter since before now. Juventus needs to be very careful with Atalanta because they are in their best form now, and if Juventus continue to play the way they are playing, Atalanta might win the finals. Atalanta should not be underestimated just as Liverpool did to them, and we saw the result of the match a whooping 3-0. I know that it is possible for Atalanta to win the finals, but I will be happy if Juventus can win it. Their match against Roma that ended 1-1 was in Juventus favor. |

Surely there is nothing wrong with buying on dips, but a person who has a tight budget might not really be in a situation to change the amount of his weekly-ish investment into bitcoin, so he might well be buying at any price until he works up a bitcoin holding that he believes is enough or more than enough.
I agree with you on this, because some investors can only afford a particular amount as their discretionary income which that is the amount that they can only continue using to purchase bitcoin regularly, and when there is a dip, they only wish that they had more to buy at the dip, but nothing changes as their regular DCA is ongoing. DCA is good, but if one is in the position of mixing it with buying at the dip, he will achieve a better result compare to doing strictly DCA, but it is not everyone that is at the position to do so, and that is why one needs to look for a means in order to increase his income so that he can be capable of taking advantage of the dip when it comes. People that have jobs, and don't have a means of increasing their income can save some extra funds that comes in that is not part of their salary, funds like bonus or traveling allowance and so on. This will help to buy extra during the dip. |

A PC is cool with me desktop or laptop because I love to have it on a big screen. The problem is that PC cannot be taken everywhere you go and that is where phone becomes an alternative. If I am not at home maybe on vacation or a three days off, I use my phone.
If I am at home always my PC and nothing more. So my own case it depends where I am at that moment that I want to gamble. I don't really enjoy placing bet from my phone, but when I don't habe any option I do it.

first half finished 1 to 1 between Roma and Juventus, a fundamental match for the Turin team, if they win they are mathematically qualified for the next Champions League and can start planning the summer transfer market.
Roma took the lead in possession and the first goal was scored by Lukaku with Bremer equalising.
Anything can happen between now and the end as the draw doesn't go very well for Roma and therefore they need to attack leaving spaces
The game is getting more complicated in the second half, but I have more hope in AS Roma than in Juventus. I am still thinking that they will have a win in the game today, but many are thinking that AS Roma will not make it, but due to the present performance of Juventus, you will find out that somehow AS Roma are even better than them. That is one of the reasons that will make me think that Juventus will lose today against AS Roma, but it is still under probability. I don't pray the game should end in a draw because it will not look as amazing as if AS Roma win the game, so all we will do is continue to watch the game and see how it will come to an end. Juventus was able to equalize the goal with a good header and after the second half started Juventus was dominating the match and missing some chances. Currently, Roma is the pressuring Juventus defense trying to score a second goal to take the lead. It is a fierce fight for these two clubs, as none of them wants to accept defeat or a draw. I did not expect Juventus to come up with such brilliant performance today, this means that they know what they are doing, they decided to take this match serious because their qualification to the champion league is now at stake. |

Bayer Leverkusen put one foot in the Europa League final as Florian Wirtz and Robert Andrich scored in 2-0 semi-final first-leg win over Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Bayer Leverkusen side got an advantage in the first leg of the round at away. The second leg will be held at BayArena next Thursday. Leverkusen's unbeaten run for 2023-24 stands at 47 games across all competitions (39 wins, eight draws).
Because Liverpool failure certainly makes Bayer Leverkusen doesn't seem to have strong competitors in the race for the Europa League trophy this time, because even though the teams in the semifinals are also quite good. But still, the reality is that Bayer Leverkusen at this moment is really at a different level, so it is difficult to stop Bayer Leverkusen's streak of good results at this moment. After all, even though AS Roma has also succeeded in improving its performance and quality since the appointment of De Rossi as AS Roma head coach, but the reality is that AS Roma still failed in the first leg even though AS Roma played at home. With factors like that, I personally am really confident and will not doubt the good chance that Bayer Leverkusen has this season to win lots of trophies. I completely understand the excitement surrounding Leverkusen at the moment. And that run of not losing in ANYTHING is no joke. They're on a whole new level this season. Another team is having a hard time reaching the crazy high bar they set. There are teams like Roma that are getting back on track, but they still aren't playing as hard as Leverkusen. It's really possible for Leverkusen to win the Europa League because of how well they work together and how often they win. They've worked hard all season, so it feels right If you can remember in the beginning of the season during the group stage was when majority of football fans here said that Leverkusen a dnd Liverpool are favorite to win the competition, this shows that Leverkusen is really worth it after all their unbeaten match that they have played so far. Roma is still struggling with their matches and that makes it difficult for them to be able to win Leverkusen in the second leg away from home. Leverkusen will also be victorious in the finals against whoever qualifies between Marseille and Atalanta. |

When it comes to the winning probability, I will go with Real Madrid as usual > Bayern Munich > PSG > Borussia Dortmund. Yet, as you said, no one is safe after the first leg matches.
What I know is Real Madrid used to play way better in the second leg while Bayern Munich are pretty much unexpected. They fluctuate between a punisher, scoring +4 goals to a normal team, losing badly.
For PSG, they are considered still favourite to pass regardless of first leg game and they should not upset their fans this time.
Bayern are great but I favour Real Madrid. The reason is they have got 2 goals at the Allianz Arena. This means Madrid only need a draw at the Bernabeu. But I think Madrid will keep pressing to make goals. Meanwhile, between Dortmund and PSG, of course PSG is the favorite. So my prediction is that Madrid's final will be against PSG. For now, these four teams have no burden in the league, because most of the league has got a champion team this season. So I think all the teams will work hard to get this one European title. Real Madrid have good advantage on that day because they are playing at home, and they will be motivated by their fans, while Bayern might be intimidated by their host fans. Bayern Munich should not be estimated, and I know that Ancelotti will never do that. Bayern can still perform very well away from home, who knows if the match might end in a penalty shootout. However, from the recent performance of Real Madrid, I don't think that a draw will be their aim but winning the match will be their target, and Ancelotti knows the kind of strategy that he would use. I will place my bet on Real Madrid to win the match just for fun. |

Liverpool 2-0 Tottenham
Liverpool was able to take the lead in the early minutes of the game, and the goal was scored by Sallah on the 6th minutes after he got an assist from Gakpo. It seems Liverpool have become a bit serious in this match than their previous matches with the way their game composure is today. Robertson also registered his name on the score book on the 45th minutes before extra time with a rebound which was taken by Sallah, as the goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario punch out Sallah's easy ball. Luckily enough for Robertson, he was at the right place at the right time.
Tottenham seems to have decline in form, because any club that they play with recently , always win them. They have poor game pattern and don't have the strength to hold on the ball for long. Maybe in the second half, the game will turn to their favor.
Another bad result for totenham. The club was losing again with huge scores. I have no comment about totenham but ange is the main problem here. How he was still hasrsh in using high line defensive. I think that people must also blame him. it's really wrong to blame the players. Totenham may also able to sack him and replace him with a better coach. Having good achievement at the lower league doesn't mean ange can perform as good as when he was still there. The second half was very interesting compare to the first half, this is because Tottenham threaten of equalizing the four goals, which was score in the first 15 minutes of the second half. The third goal was scored by Gakpo and the fourth by Elliot. It is 4-0, before Tottenham woke up from their slumber, and they played better because they started pressuring Liverpool which led to them scoring two goals, and almost scored the third goal. I don't know that Tottenham didn't start the match in such high spirit as the did on theast 25 minutes of the match. |

I just entered this topic for about an hour, and I will start looking at the details from today. But I have been looking at this topic for an hour with ideas and my mind is useful enough to invest. I will start investing according to everyone's idea and make my investment long term. Because everyone here says long term investment is only more profitable, I will definitely show you the scenario of investing with proof from the day I start investing. So I am interested enough to invest now.
Welcome mate to this thread, let me run a quick brief on what we have been discussing here, as the title implies 'buy the dip and hold' the thread is about to best ways to accumulate bitcoin and the best kind of practices you can involve in your be successful at that. We have settled for the fact that the DCA METHOD or dollar cost averaging is the best strategy for beginners amongst other strategies cause ; 1.)It doesn't require much knowledge to start 2.)You can start buying right away with any amount you have, you don't have to be rich or have a huge capital to start buying bitcoin, all you need is to is divide the capital you have at hand into several parts and invest at equal time intervals. We have also discussed about building up emergency funds as an insurance we don't sell our holdings due to emergency when we don't plan too, this is important cause as a long term investor you have to ensure that your bitcoin remains intact throughout your investment time. This is a short summary of some important stuffs you can do some research on DCA to aquire more information on what it's about. I got a proof of the DCA method, I really like the process, you can also check it out if you want. View post, there is a lot of interesting information here but I feel stronger, now that I see this strong evidence and commit myself to investing according to your opinion. Agree or disagree? #DCA into #BTC Don't #FOMO or #FUD!  You don't just invest because someone gave you an opinion to invest. You have to take time and do your own research about such investment, see the challenges involve in it and check out if you are ready and willing to face such challenges. The general view about bitcoin investment on this thread is for long term hold, once you have understand that concept very well, the next thing to consider is your source of funding, how stable it is, of course multiple sources of income is highly encouraged for every investors. You have to make plans for your emergency funds, reserve funds and floating funds. Before making your first investment. These things I mentioned above has to be in place, If you go through the thread you will see how extensively these things were discussed, because they are the fundamentals to a successful investment and long term holding. Bitcoin investment is nothing something to rush into without putting these things in place, because if you neglect any of them you will have difficulties along the way. We are in a bitcoin forum, and bitcoin have been recognized over the years as an investment that gives good profit overtime depending on how long you hodli, and the size of your bitcoin. This is why there is no need to make any research on bitcoin again, but invest immediately you can do so, and learn at the same time, because there is no need to waste anytime since OP do not have any bitcoin investment yet. All he needs is to know how much his discretionary income will be in order for him to use that amount to invest in bitcoin using DCA to buy regularly and persistently weekly or monthly, sothat he can hodli and build his bitcoin stash overtime. If he has his emergency funds and reserve funds in place, then he is good to go. |

The current difference between Chelsea who currently Chelsea who lie in the 8th position of the English Premier League and 6th placed Newcastle is just five points while 7th placed Manchester United are currently two points behind the Newcastle. Manchester United and Chelsea have played one game less than the 6th placed team in the league and should they win in their respective league games today, Manchester United will go past Newcastle with a point while Chelsea will reduce their points difference behind Newcastle to just two points.
The race for who finishes in the 6th placed of the English Premier League table this season I think is a very tight with any of the above three teams I mentioned having the possibility of finishing the season in that particular position
Yeah the point difference with Chelsea and Newcastle United is very small and right now Chelsea has been able to build their points in such a way that they can compete with Newcastle United now on the 6 position and based on their performance lately they seem to have been doing really well more than Manchester United because I could remember weeks ago Manchester United was leading Chelsea with a good number of points difference but now Chelsea has managed to meet them and if Manchester United did not improve Chelsea will leave them behind. However in terms of the ongoing match between Chelsea and West Ham United it has been more favourable for Chelsea because of their consistency and determination on this match, all thanks to Palmer who open their first goal and give Chelsea the courage to put more effort and now Chelsea has managed to end the first half with 3:0 against West Ham United and considering their efforts on the first half I wonder how many goals they will score West Ham United on the second half however right now Chelsea has improved on their league table, they have move from the 8 position to the 7 position bringing Manchester United down to the 8 position. It is quite surprising to see how Chelsea in the first half loaded West Ham with three goals to nothing. This shows that the players are having the zeal of scoring goals recently due to the high amount of goals that they have being scoring recently. Chelsea is ahead of Manchester united with goals, and Manchester united have an outstanding match to play, which if they win the match they will love straight to 6 position behind Tottenham with three points, that is if Tottenham lose to Liverpool later in the day. |

Bitcoin was designed to have a halving reward for miners every four years, and it is from history that bitcoin aficionados were able to notice and confirm that it is true. This is why you see that when the halving was close, the news was everywhere. Some people misunderstood how the halving triggers the bull run, and they thought that the bull run will come immediately after the halving, which was why they were disappointed. The worst part of it was that bitcoin price started dipping, and many who bought due to FOMO will panic and sell.
This is why you need to invest in a long term investment, and use the amount that you can afford to lose, so that during your first year and second year experience in hodli, you will have understand the nature of bitcoin, that the price rises and dips, but it will always pump higher above the previous ATH.

I don't think that this topic belongs here, because it is not saying anything related to bitcoin, so you should move this topic to economics board, as that is where it fits in.
Human activities will always lead to inflation due to their greed and self centered life style. Printing money, wars and natural disasters, diseases and corruption will always lead to inflation.
I don't see any fiat currency that can take over the usd for now maybe in the future we may/may not see a new fiat currency as reserve.
