501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one you are good at? on: December 19, 2023, 08:20:39 PM
Hello! I'd like to pose a question to my fellow gamblers here. Since the topic of sports betting has been gaining attention recently, allow me to ask:

So, the question is... Which are you better at: selecting the right bet or managing your bankroll?

And, how has it been going so far? Are you profitable or not, and why?

If you are good at bet selection, I don't think bankroll shouldn't be a problem because right bet will directly or indirectly makes you good, your bankroll will remain solid as you will easily find away to get back more of what you deposited initially but if even if you are wizard in bankroll and you not expert in game selection, you will lose entire bankroll and by rule of bankroll, you need to give gambling a break for a particular period of time and reevaluate on your strategy.

Gambling is not a business to me though, u played it most of the time when things are visible for me and not like I must play this and that and if I don't I wouldn't feel comfortable. I wouldn't even lie, I loss in betting but I do have profit in my own way but it's not frequently and I do monthly balance whether I have been profitable or made loss for the month.

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.

I was fuming some weeks back before the beginning of the season why Anceloti never bring in new striker to Real Madrid squad when the market transfer was closed because the only good signing I saw from the list was Bellingham but for tbe job of midfielder. I was not having it how he intend to manage that forward task with Vinicious and Rodrigo but subsequently, Bellingham fit there and he was okay for that place even when he wasn't bought for that role. With such result, I don't think they made move for Osimhen in the first place.

Quote
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.

What you think Real Madrid need but they already made the decision of not getting any new player right from beginning of the season, but now I think with the injury crisis in the club after Alana went on another injury, they have no choice but to look for more competent players because there 4 good men are out, Vinicious return next month is still under uncertainty.
503  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which type of gambling have more gambling addicts ? on: December 19, 2023, 06:29:28 PM
I don't know if this has been discussed before or not.
 
Reading about gambling addiction I don't think it's a new topic, but fitting to be in here, I just want to ask: between casino gambling, in-house gambling, and one-on-one gambling with physical players available on the table, which among these is more likely to turn someone into a gambling addict if the person doesn't have self-control in all his gambling activities?

Gambling is gambling and the reason why we have difference of them is that some of us aren't familiar with some, there are some regions where people prefer casino than sport betting, there are places where people like one on one gambling and in all of this, there are addicted players everywhere and I haven't played all or engage with players that are addicted in some others to make such kind of conclusion but I'm confidence that so long money is coming from it, we gambling addicts without sef control.

Quote
Now are days I see much or all this in house gamblers becoming addicted and acting weird over gambling results, and walking down into some betting shop, you will see most of those gamblers spending their whole day in the gambling shop, which made me have the above question. I know any form of gambling can produce gambling addicts, but among all, there is one that is most common, which is what I want to hear from others.

Gambling involves money, what do you expect? You shouldn't expect less than that because money is what drive people to gamble and the system is designed in 50:50 condition if it's fair and if it's a place where is not provable fair to people, we can have like 10: 90 profit to loss ratio and in this such cases, there is no way we wouldn't have much losers and winners and when they try to chase losses, it becomes even worse because this is where the addiction usually start.
504  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: You must have a source on: December 18, 2023, 01:53:32 PM
You must have a source of income if you must succeed in your holdings.

For the few years I have been into cryptocurrency, I have discovered that you can't hold till the right time if your don't have a source of income. Just imagine that you have a pressing basic needs like feeding or rent, then you don't have money  to finance it, you will be forced to sell your Bitcoin at a loss if you don't have a source of income outside your holdings.

Most people that have sold their Bitcoin holdings at a loss or at an average price actually have the patience but don't have the knowledge of how to hold, because a good holder must be aware that he needs a source of income for him to be able to consolidate to his holdings.

It has happened to me severally, I have been able to hold now, since I started working as a merchandiser with Guinness, I think most times, experience is the best teacher.

You know when a man is hungry, they find it hard to think straight, that is how investments also look like on the face of man who has plenty of financial problems, not just Bitcoin but every other investment behaves like that too. Is not about even having a source of income; your income might be way smaller than your financial problems and the next thing that comes to your mind is how to borrow and when you have no one after soliciting here and there, your investments are the next options that will ring on your mind because you wouldn't even think whether it is at profits or loss.

Many people that you see today that have millions worth of bitcoins today is because they have another means to take of their life, they are doing average and some are even doing great and never in their lifetime exposed or told anybody they own a bitcoin because they see it as a back up to their life in the sense that if something happens tomorrow, bitcoin shield them quickly and feel nothing.
505  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Should I buy bitcoin ETF now? on: December 18, 2023, 01:28:26 PM
It seems has everyone confuse with his questions but I will explain for you just for knowledge sake and OP that is dividing the subject from the content of his post.


I'm still confused as to how they work, are they like stocks or bonds? And where can I buy one of them if it's available in my country because I think like it's not going to be available and it's difficult to purchase due to being expensive or something. I still don't understand how they can be able to influence the market prices with regards to the upcoming decision on the approval of ETF, I still have no idea how and I still think the halving will probably have more impact than this maybe even the idea that Lamborghini is planning to accept bitcoin for payments for their luxurious cars.

You know to buy typical bitcoin, some people see it as a hard work because of the security and a lot of steps to undergo before getting them like registering on exchanges or using complicated DEXes and buying a hardware wallet and also doing a security backup of the seed phrase, this process are going to be meticulous for institutional investors. So, to make this easier traditional exchanges want to make this very easy for institutional investors in the form of mutual funds that they can buy from them while mimicking everything about bitcoin price, the volatility, the movement and every other thing that you know that Bitcoin can display in the market.

The traditional exchanges can then buy allow the customers to buy this bitcoin ETF but they must have an equivalent amount of Bitcoin they provided to be public for transparency. If they give out 30,000 Bitcoin ETF to their customer, they must have the equivalent of that amount of Bitcoin under their custody making it a real investment for the institutional investors and other retailers that prefer that over the main Bitcoin. With this, they don't need to worry about law enforcement for having Bitcoin or explaining the source of their bitcoin or even worry about seizing of their Bitcoin.

Messi was willing to take a pay cut and has said so on a number of occasions if memory serves me correctly. Moreover, he didn't want to move to Barcelona and moved to America so that Barcelona wouldn't sack anyone and cut players' wages to sign him. If the Arabs buy the club, the debts will of course gradually disappear

I remember that time of Barcelona broke the FIFA FFP laws back then because they owed not only Messi of his money but also some other players money. As a smart player who is been wanted by all the teams in the world, are you going to settle for a club that owes you millions of debts, it doesn't make any sense and it wasn't about the sacking of players if they really want him, they can but one of the challenges of going back to the club is the debts that are not yet to be paid and that os because Messi was soft with them due to the fact that they were the ones that brought him to the stage of football, however, emotions and business doesn't coexist in the same place.

Whoever advice Jude Bellingham to go too Real Madrid made a great decision. ( I also advocated for him to swing that way ) Watching him play motivates me and I feel like I was the one doing all of that. Great game today. That was a perfect combination leading to a perfect header from him tonight.

So many are downvoting that boy but people that know ball know him, he made the greatest decision of his life despite being a Messi fan and the rivalry that has happened between Messi and Real Madrid but nobody can change how he feels. My only fear is that he is not too skilled and a playmaker even as he is a midfielder because that was how Haaland has become irrelevant this season. I want him to continue his best till he sees the club bag the Champions League and the Laliga domestic League.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 18, 2023, 01:01:48 PM
It is not a failure for Liverpool because Manchester united have increased their focus on improving their performance in the Premier League. After being eliminated from the Champions League, Erik ten hag was of course under a lot of pressure to improve Manchester united so they could get points in the matches they played. Yes, they managed to withstand the attacks carried out by liverpool and managed to secure a point at Anfield. Even though it's not a good record, Manchester united can avoid defeat in this match because if their defense is not strong, Liverpool can certainly score goal in this match, but Onana performed better in this match by not conceding.

How do you guys expected Manchester United to play well in Anfield when they couldn't protect their own house in Old Trafford against Bournemouth, I even expected Liverpool to deal with them seriously and get them on their kneels for coming to Anfield but it seems Liverpool wasn't that prepaid as I expected because I was more anticipating to see more than 2 goals in that match an 3 total goals but it is what it is, Klopp couldn't do what he did to Manchester City to Manchester United and now, they are back behind Arsenal which I'm very certain they wouldn't allow anybody to chance them again unless football do his thing.

Quote
Unfortunately for Liverpool because last week they were able to lead the standing but they were not strong enough to maintain it. After watching the matches this week, I saw that many teams had swapped places with each other on the standing. Even in the lower teams, Everton is increasingly confident by winning consecutive match in the last 4 match which has kept them away from the relegation zone.

If not for the deducted points from Everton, I think with their current place in the table the substituted points, and this should place them behind West Ham nevertheless, they haven't given up because they are better than being lonely in the relegation zone but they should have done better in the match of the past week, they allowed cheap Burnley to beat them after flogging Chelsea in the earlier week. It is better for them to be at least not less than 15 place on the table.
508  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who should quit, and why? on: December 18, 2023, 12:40:00 PM
I don't think so that the husband can easily obey what his wife would tell him to stop into gambling. I've seen a lot like the situation you mentioned where husbands and wives keep fighting because of gambling and of course, the money that the husband spent to feed his gambling addiction. I’ve also witnessed a lot of scenarios where they sell all their assets just to bet and to feed their habit of gambling. The time will happen that they were amid deprivation and they were close of being broke. So, while it's still early you should be aware of the limitations and what may happen when you enter this gambling activity.

Situations like this often arise from the man's mistakes. As a man, gambling should never be anything that can steal away your attention and responsibility of your home but some men have problems with this part. When you know that you are a gambler and know that you are married to your wife, don't forget to take care of your home, treat them like you don't gamble at all but they always do the opposite which makes their wife disrespect them.

If a married gambler provides for the wife, does the basic needs for the wife, they will never complain or fight their husband for doing what they like especially when money and attention is involved. The wife will even feel concerned if the husband is the passionate one and feels sober anytime he is lost, they will pet him just to clear the mood because they know he is a responsible gambler but I know they will not do that to a irresponsible man.

Quote
But if the husband is responsible for balancing his gambling time and his family time then there is no problem. Just like I said in my previous post in this forum, maybe they can make better teamwork and they still have time to make playing as their bonding as a couple.

My advice to all gamblers whether male or female you should avoid chasing losses and never gamble with money that you should spend for your living expenses.

More importantly, know when to quit and know when to say goodbye for that time. You must not win all the time because if there is anything like that, the casino will not function again and they will be out of business for life. Also, don't gamble more than you can afford to lose, it hurts in the end if you lose a dear amount to gambling because you will hardly get it right the next time you try to recover it again.
509  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: December 17, 2023, 07:47:45 PM
Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

Some people will say they like it and that it is fun but their reactions and body language say otherwise when they have an open tickets and still go ahead to watch the same match, they don't look happy if the match doesn't go as expected. As for me, I do watch the games I bet on. Just because I bet on my games doesn't make it hard for me to be entertained by the match, the fact that you bet on that match and you confidently bet on the game gives you the mind to let go of that money but I wouldn't deny it, I do show that reaction if my expectations go below what I expect to happen after the match but it doesn't last up to 5-minute max as I do quickly forget it even happens.

One way to always avoid this, make sure that you stake responsibly and gamble with the amount you can afford to lose, when you go above your power, you will feel uncomfortable watching that match freely. In short, you wouldn't mind entering the TV screen just to make sure your predictions come true. It is better to bet with the amount you have and can lose to avoid stories that touch the heart later.
510  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 17, 2023, 07:36:28 PM
We saw even the strongest version of PSG fail in the Champions League and that's why it's not surprising to see this team fail to get anything this season even with a coach like Ennriqu in this team because they had players like Messi and Neymar in this team and but failed the tournament and now PSG lost many players.
That's not a good reason to say PSC achieved the title just because of the new coach they got or just because of the games they won so far because PSG didn't face a strong team so far in the Champions League yet.

Were you expecting something extraordinary from this version of PSG than they did already? You don't expect Mbape to lead them to that stage because he is not even a striker, the club need one as he has always been a wing guy from the start. I notice that he does better when he plays that part instead of playing the whole forward trying to be like Bellingham but he doesn't do much like that and it could or even be because of Messi and Neymar's effects as they are not available in the club to give him all the support he used to have. People like Dembele they are managing got a red card and wasn't around.

They are even lucky to equalise that goal else they might be on their way to the Europa League where they will go and battle the playoff before they meet with Liverpool in the knockout phase again but luckily, they are ahead of Milan with goal difference. My only problem with them is how they are going to do from this stage in the Champions League because they are not yet stable, Dembele is on the red card, and the overall team is not balanced except they are cooking new young players for the club.
511  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 17, 2023, 07:23:36 PM
The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.

What is your take on this?

I have said this before and I'm going to repeat it again, if you are not going to do KYC, don't deposit money on any casino or any betting platform that will request for KYC later in the future, the reason is that there is every tendency they will require you to do KYC and you know what is risky about restricting account if they request for KYC, they might reject it even if you provide all the documents you have including passport and proof of residential with financial documents, the best thing to do first are you either avoid casino that required a KYC or do the KYC to avoid problems later.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions, especially the bonus part, many gamblers are usually attracted by this bonus but when they deposit, there is a condition attached to this bonus. In addition, make sure that your country is allowed on that platform because they might not ban your IP address but will state it in their terms and conditions and if you mistakenly accept the terms and conditions of having power to block your account, then you are only feeding the gambling platform without proper initial investigation
512  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 17, 2023, 07:14:25 PM
You may need to realize that Manchester City's game scheme this season has changed. Pep Guardiola seems to be starting to hope that his team will not depend on Haaland, which means Haaland will not be completely the target man in a match. You can compare Haaland's goal record last season and this season, but you might also be able to understand his strategy by watching the match live.

The focus of the game is not on Haaland and this season I wouldn't be surprised if Haaland doesn't score in one or more games. Not many passes have come to him this season because the team's game is not built around Haaland. So this change in strategy is what makes Manchester City appear different compared to last season even though player injuries and the departure of several important players also have an impact. One more thing, the defense is weak and very different compared to last season.

Anytime Crystal Palace has a match against Crystal Palace at home, they struggle to win even if they lead with a goal, Palace is always good at rebounding at their neck and making sure City concede a goal. I stopped watching the match when Manchester City led with 2 goals to nill against Palace only to see that the table was the same. I am beginning to see the Haaland effect and most importantly KDB absence because I'm sure that if those two were to have started that match, they would have done a lot of fatality to Crystal Palace but it is weird to me how Palace came back with 2 goals against the city under 38 minutes left for the game.

Guardiola might have his reason better than what most people are assuming but technically, this doesn't make sense why he didn't used him but maybe he think they are at home and they will dominate and it does almost happen but in the end, it turn the other way. There is Champions League break for now, it's better he make full use and potential of those players now that the league is not yet half, if they reach middle it will become more competitive and tough and to catch up will be hard by then.
513  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Prove me wrong: Gambling is both more relaxing and entertaining than trading! on: December 17, 2023, 06:49:35 PM
So prove me wrong (if you think I am), what am I missing?

Bro!!, I have to screen your name 3 times because like do you gamble that much?  Cheesy Alright! I want to gist you about one of the saddest day of my life in gambling, there was these people they are called Punters in Nigeria, they are popularly known as sport bettors who have made millions from sport betting and they used to share their betting code for followers and anytime he drop them, they copy and stake them in their respectful account and the odds are usually high that even if you bet small amount, you can win something big to at least a million(in Naira).

So, this day, I have been seeing the trend of X NG anytime they win bets because they appreciate these Punters when the street win bets and I was compelled to follow the crowd. In my first 1 week, nothing was won but I don't feel anything because what I stake in a week sometimes is not up to a dollar if you do the conversion because I wanted to test. After the struggle of having like 35 games, we did win 30 and lose 4-5 but we were about to win one bet of 31 of 30 in one faithful Saturday. It was under 3.5 game selection, this game was almost done in 90 minutes with 3 total, everyone including me has anticipated what to use the money for only for them to add an additional goal at the last minute. I was so mad man, it was not the money I stake that pained me but the unrealized money I was expecting to win.

Moral of this story, trading has a way you can opt out and the use of trailing profit and stop loss can help avoid losses and take profits but in gambling, you can't do that because you will most likely had nothing. While trading, you can hold further if there is a loss but in gambling, you can't do that in gambling.

From the beginning I was wondering why people spam and I have not find any reason, do we think that spamming have any important effects to our account or its something that is being done intentional or unintentional, do we think from the theory of personification  what causes a spamming is when theirs a particular quota that we have to ascertain that make some of us to spam in order to complete our weekly quota or it's something that is being done willingly.

Spamming means a lot of things and I think it's done intentionally. the forum is a place to interact and share ideas bit when it becomes a plan where people want to do what they like because of the privilege they get, then it becomes so annoying. Like you will see a newbie that is supposed to learn rules, focus on ranking start doing a line of posts and do that frequently just to get people attentions or trill just because he/she thinks the forum has lots of traffic. You will see many of them posts referral links and back links to get traffics to other websites.

Quote
Do you know that base on a research and observation in the forum I have not seen a clear advantage of spamming, and I have not seen any new accounts that is not in a signature campaign that is being tag because of spamming or have a challenge of spamming before why?

So I think that majorly the people that spam mostly is people that is controlling a numerous of account's and whenever they have a different account's they start writing a low quality post, I don't know if any one have observed that before, that what causes a low quality of posts and spamming might be due to alts, its better time to spread this information so that my own mates in the forum will not have same mindset  of spamming and low writing style.

The forum has thousands people coming here, most of the time I think people spam to get others attention to do something like maybe begging since it's a bitcoin forum and money are been discussed, go to the Bounty board where people are paid penny to shit posts, they will do that to suit there agenda for small money that can't do subscribe to any cable.

It's because you are focus on ranking, from the rank you will understand when an account is spamming or making an engagement in the Forum. We have plenty of some newbies and from their interactions you will know their worth even without ranking up.

Hi, i do trading with capital 3$ spot trading no leverage.
Im using poloniex for this
I have experince over 10 years not actively traded all those years.
Going to be interesting
I want to see how i will do it in one week 2weeks and month and so after few months.
I Im in ADA now with 1$ of my capital 3$

I have STARTED now today - anyone knows how to get my poloniex PNL ? So i can show here my PNL

I wish you good luck on your trading journey but what is really the purpose of your trading, is it to practice and understand crypto trading or you are doing it for the money? If you are in for some dollars, I'm really sceptical how much you are going to earn after a year.

Let's do a quick analysis of your capital, you have a capital of $3 and in other to make $3 from a trade, you need to make at least 100% profit from a single spot trade. How do you intend to be making this from trades? I think one of the reasons why you were able to make such was because ADA pumped some days ago and that is why you were able to make a $1 profit else I don't see how you plan to make such a profit from the market.

You can see your PNL from your wallet, they have it in spot and Funding wallet on most exchanges like Binance and Kucoin, you can preview your profits and losses on a daily, weekly and monthly based on your Exchange but I'm not sure if Polonix exchange has such because I have never used their exchange.

There is no PNL on spot trading pairs because you are not opening/closing position, you are buying coins/tokens.


PNL simply means Profits and Loss, some exchanges have it to track the history of profits and loss from the wallet balance, a loss and profit from spot trades will show in the wallet PNL. Exchanges like Binance and Kucoin have it where you can see everything from the chart.

Someone owed me money and he wanted to pay me in Bitcoin.
So I gave him my Bitcoin wallet address and he transferred the funds.
It's now complete.
But can he now withdraw the money since he has my bitcoin wallet address?

A wallet address is nothing without the private keys and also an empty wallet is nothing special even with the private keys if there is nothing locked on the public address. You have received the bitcoin in your wallet address, once you have seen a 6 confirmation on the blockchain, then rest assured that the transaction is not reversible and it will remain like that on your wallet until when you are ready to spend it, and please don't ever share your private keys with anybody or even the seed phrase because they will become a threat the moment you exposed it.

I hope you are also using a custodial wallet where you completely have access to the private keys, not doing that is not a safe practice. Make sure that your bitcoin is in your personal wallet where only you can have access to it, no third party, no custodial platforms because not your keys, not your bitcoin.

Can someone please guide is it a good practice to start investing in Bitcoin in this upcoming January-2024?
There is nothing bad if you buy by January but I hope you have the mind to hold till when you want to sell, it is not difficult to buy but the challenge is always the ability to hold, if you have the mind to bear the risk, why not, buy Bitcoin and hold.

To invest, I believe you already have the money to buy or already had a preparation about it.
To buy Bitcoin is not hard nor complex, as a first timer you need an exchange to buy your bitcoin to be safe and to do that, there are two places where that can happen, either in centralized exchange or decentralized exchanges, the latter is more preferable because of privacy concerns.

The easiest (not the safest) place you can buy bitcoin is through centralized exchanges, like Binance, Kucoin, Okex and other similar centralized exchanges, you can see a list of them on Coingecko but as I have said, there is a privacy concern issue with the centralized exchange such as doing KYC, and submitting your documents which most often than not are not recommended, the best and safe place you can by bitcoin is decentralized exchanges.

Decentralised exchanges don't require KYC or any formal introduction of documentation where they request your details, some of them are:

Hodlhodl
Bisq

The advantage of these exchanges is they don't hold your coins, they go directly to your custody where you have access to their private keys and seed phrase. Always remember that it is not safe to keep your coins on centralized exchanges.

Football indeed is a gme of passion. A passion that drives you to win at all cost and not loss. I come to understand that when it comes to football the roots and foundation of a football team matters. A team that is not built with a strong foundation. In terms of reputation, pattern, performance and strategy may affect the players that will be playing in that team years to come. What am saying in essence is that football may be hereditary. I believe you may or may not gree to the fact that some football clubs have passed down the spirit of not able to win league titles in as much as the current players of that team tries. They always end up bottling the league at the end.

What about teams that have been the face of the Leagues many years back but today, they are one of the most shitty clubs to ever exist. Look at Manchester United and Chelsea for example, they have a history of being one of the greatest teams in any English Leagues but look at what has been happening to them, it is a shame to even openly support them and even the fans have stress to breathing anytime they have a match because they always choke them all the time. In the past, even in their worst moment, they were not this bad as they used to play in the past, I don't think your facts can checkmate in some aspect.

There may be some clubs I have to know in many leagues, your theory might be right in this aspect because if you take a deep decades back to the club, they don't have anything to show off about the club performance, if you watch Premier League very well, Everton for the last 20 years don't have a Premier League in their shelf, Nottingham Forest doesn't have too for the last 4o years and somehow these teams many times played repeatedly in the Premier League.

Apparently this is a true live event happened in my State this week and almost everyone is talking about it. About a young man that killed himself after a gamble loss, he even left a message for his family and friends before taking his life.  But I wonder why should someone take his own life  just because he lost  #2.5 million to gambling an amount  equivalent to just about $3k. I can relate to his loss but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution , you are only leaving bigger pains  behind for your loved ones.

The economy is in touch, and many start-ups and business ventures are not making much again because the customers are not coming again because they have changed their needs to alternatives, but I don't think gambling is the way out of this current situation of the economy. If it was then, such an amount of money he gambled away could have started a business but it can't today unless you want to start an entrepreneurship which is even less patronized because of the same hardship, but this is sad seeing a man took his life because he lost that amount. I would rather allow the world to laugh at my failure(I give less attention to people though, to even think about that) than take my precious life, I am yet to see anything that will make me take my life.

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.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

I think that man was dealing with depression and didn't speak and thought gambling was the only way to make it. I have such an amount of money, I would rather see it wasted in my account generating nothing than waste it on gambling that will take everything from me. I pray God to give the family the mind to mourn the loss but this is bad and to think this wasn't a kid but a full grown adult.

However, I would love to see an audit and autopsy carried out on his body before they buried him so as to be sure about the conclusion of his death. We have seen cases where a person was murdered but they made the scene look like what they wanted people to believe, it was later found out that it wasn't what killed the guy initially but his friend actually killed him, I think more proper investigation will help in this case.

The inconsistency of La Liga's top teams this season can be put to good use by Girona so that they can top the La Liga standings so far.
When Madrid had to be held to a draw by Real Betis and Girona also had to face Barcelona, that was their opportunity to maintain the gap in points so that they could have many opportunities to win the title this season. I think even though they are two points behind Madrid, who are below them, Girona must remain. consistently on the winning track to be able to win the title this season well.

That is what everybody thought including myself, with the current form of Real Madrid, it is easy for them to beat Real Betis than for Girona to beat Barcelona but reverse case is the result that we later got after the match. I'm beginning to look exactly what is that thing that is so special about Girona and how they have been on rollercoaster winning since the beginning of the season because there was no any big significant modifications that happen in the club to give them such kind of moral to power up in all of their games, there was nothing like change of manager, it is the same Michel that has coach the team since the past 2 years and no single trophy has been won since he arrived in the club.

Michel as Girona's coach seems to be good at maintaining the stamina and performance of Girona's players, he is able to play player rotation well to remain in a stable condition so that he can face the opponent optimally to get a complete victory, not playing in the European league of course Girona is very superior in that regard so they only focused on laliga and copa del rey.

Michel is smart and anyone would have seen that from their last match against Barcelona. he make sure that his players don't get exhausted before he make any significant changes, he replace them instantly the moment the player in position as done his part in the match, if you observed from the match it was only Artem that started the match has a goal, the rest of the goals came from substituted players that were bench from the beginning, the coach did a smart work against Barcelona and I hope they continue as many people have high expectations from them but deep down, I want Real Madrid to take over the top 1.
