So far even if Manchester City fails to win the Premier League trophy, Pep Guardiola position will still not be shaken  and will be replaced so quickly. Manchester City gave Pep complete freedom to manage this team. Unless Pep himself resigns. But returning to the current  season there are still many opportunities open for the Citizen. If we  look at some time ago KDB has also started training again which is certainly good news  because his return to the main squad will definitely be full of great ambition to restore the club's ideal performance. It cannot  be denied that  Manchester City has experienced setbacks Haaland does not appear to play much of a role there is no sharp supply, it can be concluded that Manchester City is not as strong as when Gundogan and Mahrez were there.
It is still too early to say that Pep Guardiola has failed to bring Man City to the Premier League title this season because he still has many games left. Pep Guardiola's arrival at Man City brought many changes and became a team that was quite taken into account, so failing to bring Man City to the championship does not mean that Pep Guardiola should just be thrown away. The only reason he left was because his contract might end and he might plan to coach another club as a new challenge.

Losing De Bruyne has had quite a big impact on Man City because he is one of the players with a fairly high level of creativity in the team in building attacks. Apart from that, De Bruyne is also one of the players who often scores goals amidst the deadlock of several front players such as Haaland.

I think it's awkward. 2 Husband and wife are both people who like to gamble, and they see gambling as an entertaining game. The best solution is for them to teach children from a young age to know about gambling knowledge. Guide children towards healthy gambling in the future. Because even if you ban children, they will learn about gambling later because gambling is now widely advertised online. Teaching them about healthy gambling is probably a safer way.
There is nothing strange in the fact that this is what happens, although morally we rarely see this condition occur in one couple who are involved in gambling simultaneously. If the view of gambling that they carry out is only as entertainment and involved responsibly then in my opinion it is not a problem because I am sure if that is the scenario they will definitely be able to overcome financial problems and not get involved excessively.

There are rarely parents who intend to teach their children about gambling and in almost many places I visit there are no parents who are willing to teach their children about gambling because this is not the right choice for them.

Yes, I am also one of those people who still use banks, because there is no other choice for me so I still have to continue using money, especially since it is true that crypto is used as a commodity asset, and legal payments are still using fiat money.
I often shop at online shops and I always use a bank for the payment method, even though there is a pay-on-site feature, for me personally I am not comfortable because I am worried that the item I ordered will arrive while I am not at home, so I pay through the available payment methods, one of which is a bank.
I think it will take a very long time if I want to move away from using banks.
More simply use a bank to support your daily life, both to buy goods and other needs, and for the rest, use Crypto for investment assets. If both can be used simultaneously there is no harm because in our time we must be able to keep up with all developments.

For purchasing problems in online stores, you can visit stores that already have many followers and read descriptions of people's comments. I have a clothing shop and so far I have had an online shop ordering service, now you don't need to come to the shop to shop because there are quite a lot of online shop services available that people can use. There are two payment models that you can use, paying directly with the bank or following the COD system.

As a good country the government should have free bus for less privileged to travel home for season like this.that why cryptocurrency should be taught free to individual with serious mind, with the rate of overpopulation and poverty in the country it something everyone or most people suppose to learn because the world is going digital and our currency is not appreciating compared to other currencies and the value is so low.that why am suggesting that Bitcoin and altcoin should be taught free of charge and the knowledge should be pass to the younger ones since they are the leader of tomorrow let see how it can reduce the rate of poverty or eradicate poverty entirely in every Nation. The world is suffering and Bitcoin should be introduced in every nation and should be freely
Why can you be so sure that cryptocurrency can solve the problem of poverty in that country. However, on the other hand, you say they have difficulty meeting daily food costs. Cryptocurrency investment is still quite speculative and people will get a lot of pressure when involved in it because generally speaking cryptocurrency will have quite a lot of coins in it. It's the same with bitcoin and I think it will be much more difficult to get involved in it when society is experiencing much more serious financial problems. Never mind buying bitcoin, it is difficult for them to meet their daily needs and how could they possibly think about investing. Poverty is becoming a serious problem today and many people are starting to find it difficult to live a normal life, education costs are high, transportation costs are increasing and health costs are increasingly out of control thus creating a much bigger problem for society.

Teaching others bitcoin is a good step so they can understand how to do it, but if people don't have healthy finances then it will be much more difficult for them to get involved in it. It's the same as when you talk about investing in bitcoin to people who are experiencing the effects of war and disaster in their country and they will never care even though bitcoin is a step that can bring someone to the stage of financial freedom

If both partners are gambling irresponsibly then it will not be long until they find themselves under a tremendous financial pressure, as even a single gambler doing this will put the couple into financial strain, so both of them doing this will only accelerate this process.
It depends on how the couple can handle the gambling they do but I'm not sure they will be able to survive for long in conditions like this. If this whole story is true then I'm sure the couple will have problems maintaining their cash flow and it could be that they will have much bigger problems.

However this is not very common, since this will require that both of them lose control roughly at the same time, and if this does not happen then the one that has yet to do so can see what is happening and begin to take measures to not traverse that path.
It crossed my mind how this couple handled gambling and got around the process of needing to use money to support their daily lives. I think both of them are not active gamblers but gamble only when they have more money and if my assumption is wrong then in the future we will see the couple experiencing great pressure.

The most common thing find is that husbands often gamble and their wives are quite angry when they find out. Rarely do we find incidents like this, where both partners are simultaneously involved in gambling. This is a rare pairing and we can imagine how much fun their lives would have been if they had bet on different outcomes.

Osimhen is a quality striker, there is no doubt about that. I don't think he is the primary option for Real Madrid. Haaland would be a great option for Real, but my preference would be Mbappe. He has a structure that can play both as a forward and as a wing. Haaland plays as a complete finishing striker. While Mbappe makes it easier to intervene in the game, you cannot remove Haaland from his position.
If Osimhem is the striker that Real Madrid is targeting then in the previous transfer market Real Madrid will definitely make an offer to Napoli and I'm sure it will be difficult for Napoli to refuse that offer. But in fact, Real Madrid did not make Osimhen their main target and still favored Mbappe as one of their desired targets. Mbappe has much better advantages compared to Haaland because this typical player is much stronger and masters playing positions on the wing or as a central striker.

Haaland is only able to complete passes to score goals, but speaking of needs I believe Haaland and Mbappe are two figures that Real Madrid really needs. If both of them can be brought in in the next transfer market then I think the Real Madrid squad will be much better and will produce striker who are quite feared by any opponent.

Their match against Brentford was one of those surprises that exist in football where the favorite team might end up loosing the match. However, Aston Villa capitalized on the opportunity offered to them by the red card of Ben Mee to equalize the goal and went ahead to win the match. This actually make me think that Astov Villa is targeting to win the league as they are just 1 point behind Arsenal that is at the top for the moment. Anyone underrating Aston Villa will be so disappointed  
Aston Villa has been one of the most surprising clubs this season and they are one of the teams that is still quite consistent. This reminds me of when Leicester City was able to win the English league in the 2015/2016 season and almost no one predicted it. Even though Aston Villa are currently in third place in the standings, it is not impossible that if they can play consistently they will become one of the strong candidates to win this season and it depends on how they face the second half of the season.

Brentford is not an opponent that is too difficult for Aston Villa to face even though Brentford can break through Martinez's goal first. Statistics also show that Aston Villa dominated the game and were able to handle the pressure. The three points they got in that match was a good achievement for Aston Villa because they were still in a fairly superior position in the top three.

I hold crypto and still use banks. Hard to imagine nowadays life without banks. Payments with cash are limited or monitored (if you buy something that cost 1000+ EUR with cash, you need to show ID, or payments more than 5000 EUR arents allowed in cash in general). We are so used to paying with card or app, that cash is no longer needed. While crypto swings from side to side like small boat during the storm, while there is no clear understanding with fees, people will still use banks
In general banks are still needed by most people because the only reason why people still use them is because this is a product that has been around for a long time and is guaranteed by the government. Banks limit payments using ATMs because of limited transaction limits but people usually use Tellers to send more and maybe the queuing process makes people a little more bored of waiting. But because there is no other choice, whether people like it or not people will continue to use this method as an easy step to choose.

Crypto is used or permitted only as a commodity asset in my country so people will definitely use banks as a product whose legality is much more guaranteed by the authorities. Because if people insist on using crypto, they will face legal problems regarding any payments in my country.

Casemiro has won every trophy that's expected from a footballer and his current age abd performance isn't as good as it used to be and that's why I think a move to the Saudi League would be a better choice for the Brazilian than joining another European club if he decides to leave his current club Manchester United. The competition in the Saudi  Pro League is undoubtedly a very strong one but not as strong as that of any of the top five leagues in Europe. Again, the Saudi clubs offer very good financial packages for players of Casemiro's status so joining them will help him earn more money than he'll earn in any European club at the moment as well help Manchester United to make a lot of money from his sales than they can make of he joins another European club.

Cristiano Ronaldo was Casemiro's teammate at Real Madrid as well as in Manchester United and I'm sure he'll definitely want to convince his club Al Nassr to bring Ronaldo to the club.  
That's true and Casemiro has gotten all the trophies he wanted while playing for Real Madrid and entering his retirement, maybe going to the Saudi Arabian League is the right choice because there he can still play at least the next two or three seasons. The benefits might also have a big impact on Man United if they released Casemiro to the Saudi Arabian League, but there have been no strong rumors regarding the interest of a number of camps there who are serious about making an offer. It could be that when the transfer market opens we will see how the Saudi Arabian club will do something crazy again by making big offers for the players they want.

Cristiano Ronaldo's closeness to Casemiro has been going on for a long time and they also have a good relationship so far. When Al Nassr is serious about bringing in Casemiro, perhaps Ronaldo can be a liaison so that the negotiation process can run smoothly with the player.

But with bitcoin if you're born poor and get education and you work hard you
Can be any thing you want.
Unfortunately very few poor people intend to invest in bitcoin because the availability of capital they have does not support such efforts and in addition they lack knowledge in the technology sector. Poor people think about how to make money for their daily food needs and I am sure that only a few people can think about investing in bad financial conditions.

But the way we can achieve more of the dream is  when bitcoin freedom is
Intact and when are able to save bitcoin for our future and our family.thats what bitcoin is all about.
It's not as simple as what you talk about and look around you at how poor people live their daily lives. Bitcoin does have the advantage of freedom and it is true that Bitcoin is a way to achieve financial freedom independently. But speaking of opportunities, maybe not everyone has the same opportunities and even people who have a lot of money are not all involved in Bitcoin for various reasons.

People of all age could have interest towards bitcoin, you could be a little girl of 12 years old and invest into bitcoin with your lemonade stand profits or you could be an 87 year old guy who would not even think about it twice that would make it any different. As long as you invest, then you become part of the bitcoin family and you are free to say and do whatever you want about bitcoin because you took the risk.
This kind of adoption has become quite widespread, especially for those who come from bitcoin families where their parents are part of the people who have invested in it for a long time. I was also quite surprised to see several middle and high school children in my area who were quite familiar with bitcoin and they had invested responsibly with the finances they had. The issue of age is not an obstacle when people really want to achieve financial freedom through bitcoin and most importantly can be responsible in doing so.

The respect and profit here are shared, we all invest and we all care about it and we all take the same risk every single day, we could have bitcoin be banned in all major nations, g29 could say bitcoin is illegal and will do regulations about it, and ban it, and we have no proof that they won't, so we all take the same chance on it.
We are still quite lucky when we live in a country that doesn't ban bitcoin completely and we can enjoy investing in bitcoin independently. We will take every risk possible, but with various considerations we know that Bitcoin is much more reliable for financial freedom. There are many countries that permit Bitcoin users as an investment asset and most of them do not want it to be a legal transaction process.

Of course if Casemiro is open to a move to Saudi, one of their clubs would sign him, he might even join his former Real Madrid and Manchester United teammate Ronaldo in Al Nassr. United would also be happy to sell him to Saudi if they decide to sell him, and that is because they will get a bigger offer from a Saudi team than from a club in Europe. United's £70m investment on Casemiro hasn't really been a success, i questioned the move from the beginning because of the age of the Brazillian, but it is what it is, and i think they have to sell him, cut their losses and buy a younger defensive midfielder.
I also think the same because Man United will definitely benefit from releasing Casemiro to the Saudi Arabian League compared to releasing him to another European club. The question is whether Al Nassr and other clubs there are willing to make a big offer to Man United because if not it will be difficult to release old players at high prices to leagues in Europe. Cristiano Ronaldo could be the link when Al Nassr intends to bring him because these two players have been close for a long time.

Casemiro's arrival at Old Trafford gave positive results in his first season and thanks to his collaboration with other players they managed to qualify for the Champions League. Currently he is facing injury problems and cannot strengthen the team, even his performance has decreased compared to last season.
453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 17, 2023, 11:30:49 AM
I think this week will end really badly for Manchester City. Because I believe Liverpool, Arsenal and Aston Villa all are in a situation to be able to win their games this week. Liverpool can win against Manchester United home easily while Manchester United are bad at defending. Arsenal should be able to beat Brighton home as well.

Aston Villa are playing an away game against Brentford but Brentford are really bad this season. They were able to win only once on their last 5 game weeks in the league. I don't think they can hold off Aston Villa from winning another game.
Man City received another draw when they hosted Crystal Palace, even though if you look at the match Man City could have won the match, but because Crystal Palace didn't just give up they managed to equalize which made Man City lose two points at home. Arsenal and Aston Villa will definitely be quite at an advantage because they are having a much easier match, so securing full points is not difficult for them to get.

Liverpool will also face a big match and although overall Man United is not in good form, I am sure Liverpool will not easily secure full points. Ten Hak is under great pressure and if he accepts defeat it will put his future at Man United at risk, therefore I predict the match will end in a draw.
454  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you still use Banks ? on: December 17, 2023, 10:59:12 AM
This is one of the reasons why banks cannot be completely eliminated in the financial system. Business people need banks to make their financial transactions smooth, even though some of them don't fully trust banks. Do you know? Banks may be the reason why you are required to pay tax on the results of your work - but this is not about taxes, but your financial privacy.

Cryptocurrencies can be a great option to do something similar - especially when it comes to financial transactions. You don't need to queue to send money anywhere when you reach the sending limit from your ATM card. Of course there are many more advantages – but perhaps this has been discussed enough.
That's the problem because business people are used to using the old system where they trust the banking system more as a step to support their financial transaction processes and almost all business people still use banking services for all of that process. Tax issues may be a part that many people don't like, especially for those who frequently make transactions, but it's about opportunities and that's the only way they can support the smooth running of the business they run.

I think everyone who understands crypto will agree that there are many advantages when we use it, but generally speaking this is not yet fully implemented because people out there still need banking. We hope that in the next few years what we want will come true and maybe it is only a matter of time.
455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 16, 2023, 04:33:36 PM
Sincerely I'm having the same doubts as you too, the consistency to maintain the top spot in the English premier League is not an easy task, let's just watch how well arsenal would go about this their campaign this season, although I give it to them haven been this consistent till this time of the season, though Manchester city has have had their fair share of inconsistency this season too, so maybe arsenal could capitalize on that weakness by Manchester city to end at the top ranking of the league.
Arsenal are still one of the strong contenders in the league this season but we doubt they can survive until the end of the season after entering the second half of the season. Arsenal and Liverpool should be able to take advantage of Man City's unstable condition because currently Man City has a weak point after several players suffered injuries. Both Arsenal and Liverpool have to really take advantage of the conditions because the league is still quite long and if both of them are unable to maintain consistency then it is feared that when Man City shows another good game they could be chased like the previous season.

However I'm not seeing much threat from Liverpool or even Tottenham Hotspur, in any case the league is still open for Many things to still happen.
Liverpool have been a strong challenger this season to become one of the teams in the League and they are still consistent enough to date to have managed to occupy first place in the standings. This week they will face Man United and this will be proof of how strong they are to stay at the top of the standings because if they slip up, Arsenal will take over at the top of the standings. Tottenham were not part of the title race because they were only able to play well in the beginning, but now they have lost consistency after suffering several defeats.

Also i asked money my bank dont give so If the bank don't help me to get rich then i dont need them.
Do you still use Banks ? Im using only cryptocurrency debit cards and they always work better than bank.
So Im still surprised If anyone still use Banks they are old

Do you use more crypto or banks for your daily or average transactions ?
Do you have had problems with hackers or someone steal money from your cryptocurrency or bank
Do you think banks not working reliable any more  
The need for the use of banks is still quite large among the public, especially for business people who always carry out fiat currency transfer transactions to support buying and selling activities. The banking system does have a level of weakness and perhaps almost everyone has experienced how their network is so slow when people need fast transactions to support their business. I also hold bitcoin as an investment and this has been going on for the past few years, but I still need fiat and banks for other support.

In general almost many people still use bank services and quite a few people use cryptocurrency debit cards. This talks about how someone can take advantage of something easier and maybe not everyone is able to operate the sophistication of new technology and that is why people still need the old banking system for their life support processes in the financial sector.

I sympathize with him.  It ain't easy to keep your head up and staying optimistic when you're losing money and feeling lousy about yourself.  That's why you gotta set boundaries and only gamble funds you can afford losing.

 And if you sense youre losing your grip, the best thing is to bail and take a timeout
That's why people consider gambling to be a bad activity because it can have a bad impact when someone cannot be responsible regarding the budget spent. Gambling addicts find it quite difficult to set limits, especially regarding the use of their own or other people's money, because when they experience losses it will result in panic which leads to deciding something beyond logic and ultimately the person will commit suicide.

It is best to stay away from gambling if someone is not ready to accept the risk of losing money, gamble responsibly by considering the resulting risks and as much as possible set a special budget so that it does not interfere with daily life as a fulfillment of life.

Barcelona's current financial condition is very complicated and there is no doubt that there is impossible potential to give João Félix with permanent contract, Atletico Madrid won't give extend loan for Barcelona and exactly they will give bid offer above 100 million euro for teams are interested to sign him. Depend with level and João Félix performance in this season with Barcelona, losses him for next season will be more disappointed for Barcelona because he was adapted well with Xavi Hernandez scheme. 
Barcelona must immediately find a solution if they want to make João Félix permanent because Atletico Madrid will not provide the option of extending the loan period if Barcelona is not willing to redeem him at the price offered. So this condition will make it even more difficult for Barcelona to get João Félix for next season and the fairly expensive price will definitely make João Félix's official move to Barcelona even more difficult. João Félix's current performance can be said to be much better than when he was loaned to Chelsea in the previous season, so Xavi Hernandez intends to submit an offer to Atletico Madrid to be signed permanently.

In the loan clause from Atletico Madrid last season, Barcelona was not obliged to provide contract for the harvester. It is possible that if João Félix's price above 100 million euros, Barcelona will have difficulty signing him permanently and he will return back to Atletico Madrid or sell to the other team who want pay more expensive fees.
Now it really depends on the readiness of funds from Barcelona and if they have sufficient finances then João Félix will definitely become a full Barcelona player. However, if you look at the financial condition, it is unlikely that Barcelona will be able to make a permanent purchase option for João Félix and forcing him to buy will make Barcelona's financial condition even more problematic.

This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.
If you know that then leave gambling which it is irresponsible and a case like this is not the first time this has happened because there have been several previous cases too. Loss of common sense makes someone decide to commit suicide and for me this is quite ridiculous and stupid.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?
Of course, people will commit suicide because they experience big losses or it could be that the money they use to gamble is not theirs, so when they experience defeat they experience inner pressure to return people's money.

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.
Gambling people with a more responsible budget can definitely control themselves compared to people who spend money on gambling after working hard. For example, they use bonus money or overtime at work to gamble and may not be active gamblers.
460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 15, 2023, 05:06:12 PM
In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.
This is a much more complicated situation where both of them are involved in gambling so that no one is able to control the finances, but I also want to know whether the two couples are active gamblers or they only carry out gambling activities with a budget that has been prepared so as not to disrupt cash flow to meet his living needs. It's rare to find two couples active at the same time in gambling and perhaps of the many people out in the world, only a small percentage carry out gambling activities simultaneously.

It's not a matter of talking about who should stop gambling, but rather that both of them need to think about their lives so they don't get trapped in increasingly serious financial problems. If both of them gamble irresponsibly then I am sure their finances will be in trouble and their daily living needs will be quite disturbed by gambling activities carried out irresponsibly.
