Lets blame the coach because he was supposed to glue the team together but he did not. If the players are not passing to Ronaldo then he should have caution them because he is responsible for making the squad to play as a team. Ronaldo should have also been substituted and not being allowed to play all the minute played when he is not having any impact on the performance of the team. This is his very first competition of not scoring any goals and only gave one assist. This statistics should have shown the coach that he is not playing at his very best for him to be substituted. Yesterday was a very sad day for international football because we might not see Ronaldo play any international football until he retires but it was good for young players as they will receive more attention as the old players retire.

I agree with you, If someone has to be blamed then that person is the coach. As a person who provides instructions and strategies that must be played by the players, he should have been observant enough to notice for what reason Ronaldo can't even score one goal. If he knows the cause, he should have provided a solution for that, or if it really feels necessary, he also has to have the courage to put Ronaldo on the bench if that really means his team can score a goal.
It is impossible for the coach to substitute Ronaldo because he needs to play penalty whenever there is an opportunity. His presence on the field can turn things around for them at any moment. Portugal played well in both halves but they were unable to secure a winning goal which led the match to a penalty shootout.

Ronaldo scored is own PK but Jao Felix who was cam in as a substitute so that he can play penalty was the one that lost the match. The coach should not be blamed at all because he did his best but luck was not on their side because penalty is a game of luck. After all, France is also a strong team and not a mediocre team.

If a gambler says that he wants to gamble for fun and end up using more than the amount of money  that he can afford to lose in gambling, it means that he has no self control over his gambling activities and that was why he was unable to stop when at the right time.

This is why we should be able to control our emotions and be disciplined when gambling so that whatever we say, we stick to it and not do the opposite when losing. Losing money that is meant for other important needs should be avoided so that we don't regret our actions and put the blame on gambling instead of learning from our mistakes.

`
Actually, some of those who are addicted to gambling, I'm sure, will have the same thoughts. However, they cannot control it and they may gamble unconsciously because they think more about winning, winning and winning, but they don't think that they are also taking a very big risk. Unfortunately they cannot quickly return to consciousness and that happens when they have already lost everything.

I remember a friend who said that he would no longer gamble, but a few weeks later when I met him again, he was gambling on his cell phone. Then I asked him why he was back into gambling, and he said he had money from his salary that he had just received. Honestly, I was surprised to hear the answer he gave. Because if so, then when he said he would stop gambling it was only because at that time he had no money to play with. With this I conclude that they (addicts) will stop gambling after losing everything.
Addiction is hard. Your friend meant it when he said he quit gambling. Addiction is a bad habit. Winning and gaming enthusiasm hijack the brain. It goes beyond willpower. It involves resisting a powerful urge.

We can defeat this. Being smart is essential. People must be warned of the risks. We must equip children to manage money and resist temptation. Yes, self-exclusion programs, community support, actual help. This goes beyond telling someone to stop. Showing them how. They need support to make better decisions. We win this fight that way. Not easy, but worth it. And I trust people. I think we can conquer addiction.
Any gambler that is willing to conquer is addiction will find it difficult to do at the beginning but as time goes on due to his determination he will gradually come out of it. Activities that leads to addiction is very tempting and if you jump into it on a wrong way, you will be addicted unknown to you.

Government will do their own part but it is left for us the individuals to also do our own part by monitoring and telling our family members and relatives the consequences of addiction and how to prevent it. If you gamble responsible, there is no way that you will be addicted because you are not gambling to make a fortune but for fun.

All of us have our own predictions for the bets we will place in the match later.
Both have the same percentage of winning, so I think whatever bet you place will not be wrong.
After watching the last few matches between the two teams, it seems like I will bet on Germany winning in the next match.
And for the Portugal vs France match I will bet on Portugal winning.

True no doub...
But I will bet on opposite foe both predictions we all have our view of predicting things but the way I see it, France are always active when they are getting near to winning and for Spain I don't know how you viewed it although Germany was very tough but I think Spain is going to perform better although they have same odds  which means even betting sited couldn't finalise a decision based on performance  Smiley

Wow, this is interesting I was thinking about the probabilities between the two big matches today, and saw that several people had already made their choices while I still couldn't see any significant differences whether it was Germany and Spain or Portugal and France. The hosts seem to be very aggressive and interestingly Spain also has the same game format where Spain has shown a fast style of play. In the hands of Luis de la Fuente, Spain game no longer adheres to tiki taka, therefore in almost every match Spain is able to carry out a total attack in the first minute.

Returning to the tough choice that must be made for Germany vs Spain, I will bet on Spain winning, and Portugal vs France so for me Portugal is slightly more favored.
Spain is in... Cool wasn't easy though it was hard to get for Spain  there was red card in the game Carvajal ( I knew there was going to be a read card though because it was a tough game ) but we have a Victor. Waiting for France Let's see if I'm wrong or you would be wrong  Cheesy Cheesy..still on France actually

Finally won both predictions   Grin although it came hard but both team performed excellently,a winner must just be determined... Portugal played so well didn't expect it to be Joao but I think it's just tension,really sucks to be him though Tongue as a star player.... not too surprised  Messi also loosed a penalty for Argentina..guess today is just a penalty error day   Grin. Anyways need to step down with the winning result  Cool
In stages like this, there must always be a winner and France was able to win through penalty shootout even though they did not perform better than Portland. Penalty is a game of luck and anyone can miss penalty. If nobody misses, there will be no winner. Jao Felix penalty was good but it hit the goal post which became a problem for Portugual.

France and Spain will clash in the semifinals making every stage of the competition more interesting with much fun an thrill. It will be a tough match in which the strongest and luckiest wl be in the finals. Tomorrow is the last match day of the quarter finals, I don't think that the matches will extend to 30 minutes extra time as I expect 90 minutes victory from the two matches.

It is good to go out and vote because it is through voting that bad leaders can be elected out of power. If you don't go out to vote, you have given the corrupt leaders the advantage to out whoever they like in power because they will do the voting themselves.

However, there are some countries that voting is useless especially in a those third world countries that are very corrupt. The electorate body already knows who they will put in power but they will use election as a disguise to make sure that they follow the right process of putting the wrong person in power. Voting is useless in such countries because it is a waste of time and abuse of democracy.

Portugal and France just resumed the second half after a goalless first half it was an interesting first half and both teams performed very well. The second half have barely begun but France seem to be more energetic and more aggressive, they are looking to score a goal but Portugal are defending very well. The intensity of thee game is very high and Portugal have not managed to create any chance since the start of the second half. It’s still very difficult to predict a winner.
This game will definitely end in a draw with the way everything is actually turning up because the two team are very careful  and no one wants to commit any error and if the game actually decides to end up in penalty it would be base on luck and Portugal won their last shoot out with their goal keeper being the center of action by saving almost three penalty I think and if he can replicate such here then it would good for their progress.
It is clear that the match will end in a penalty shootout because both teams are very careful and nobody wants to make any mistakes. Today quarter final matches will all get to the extra time to show how tough the quarter finals matches are this year.

If the match ends in a penalty it is going to favor Portugal because the have good penalty shooters. France needs to try their best to see how they can create a chance to score before 120 minutes will be over. Three additional minutes have being added as extra time.

If you DCA in Bitcoin, it's good and profitable in long term but if you DCA in meme coins, risk to lose all your money is very high.
that's right, meme coins will not be a good investment by any strategy. DCA is intended for those who have long-term investment plans. The effort is to continue to accumulate the number of assets so that they increase sustainably. Of course, the most important thing in this case is to choose assets that are good for the long term, not assets that rise briefly and fall quickly.
the investor's role in trusting the chosen asset is also important. Never have doubts when choosing an asset. although the situation sometimes increases or decreases. The barrier for investors who use DCA is their patience.
No need of thinking twice as only bitcoin have the potential to survive in the market for a very long time and the price is likely to keep on increasing due to the halving event. Bitcoin investment is not something that you jump into with any funds that you have without proper planning on how to hodli for long.

DCA is good and very effective in bitcoin accumulation when it is done with the right amount that will not affect your financial expenses. Some people don't understand bitcoin and they might invest with the money that they will need in a short-term and if the time when they need the money is in the corner, the have no choice than to sell their bitcoin irrespective of the price of bitcoin at that moment. DCA on shitcoin is a waste of time and resources because you are being serious with gambling.
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you put money together with friends to bet on sports games? on: July 05, 2024, 07:10:14 PM
Will you put money together with friends to bet on sports games? I dont know outside my community, but here my friend usually put money together and play gamble just for fun, and if the final result is winning they just throw it the money to buy snack or other food cigarettes etc but when they losing they can laugh together hhaha

But im rarely watch people put all the money onto sport game atleast here in my friend they usually play slot and roulette

Honestly, I rarely find a community like that. In my area, unfortunately, most of the gamblers are those who fail to manage their finances and have many problems in their lives. This is because they are addicted to gambling and think gambling can be a source of income for them. This is really a wrong concept of thinking. Gambling will waste your money and you will rarely win. At least that's what I know from my friends. They play slot gambling, and strangely they believe that there are certain patterns that give them constant wins when in fact they keep losing and spending more than half their monthly salary.
From what I understand gambling should be a personal thing and does not need putting funds together with friends to stake a bet for high profit or to limit losses. Because when it comes to money some people behave strange due to greed. Anything that will cause me from having issues with my friends will be avoided especially when it comes to money.

One should be contented with the little amount of money that he has to bet it because gambling is for fun and whatever that is the outcome should be fine by us only if we tend to gamble for profit. I prefer gambling privately which I do call solo gambling because it makes me feel better using online casinos.

Germany got back and now the score is 1:1. After a long siege and terrible bad luck, the German team still showed their character and scored a goal, but I think that the goal should have been earlier when Havertz did not score into an empty net.
The beginning of the match was not the most interesting, but after the Spanish goal the German team finally managed to pull itself together and show its ability to win back in the last minutes.
I think now both teams want to rest and decide everything in extra time.
Whoever keep their composure in this match will win the match. Wirtz was able to give a life line to Germany at the dying minutes of the first half to extend the match into 30 minutes extra time. The pressure that Germany mounted on Spain was too much that made Spain unable to resist it till the 90mins.

Interesting second half as both teams was able to put in their best performance to make sure that they don't get eliminated easily. Spain made some changes that might affect their performance because Yamal and Williams and Morata are out who are good attackers. If the match ends without any team scoring, the match will end in a penalty shootout. I think Germany has a high advantage of scoring again if they can continue their attacking force.

It's about to go down 👎
The final that's happening before the finals 🏆
The two most toughest team in the tournament so far will be going head to head against themselves and it promises to be mind blowing.
The line up is already up and running, and everything is set for the big game. At this moment we can't say for sure who our hearts yearns to support as we already have our favourite players all lined up in both teams.

At the end of play, let the most luckiest win 🏆



Today's game turned out to be the toughest match, with Spain leading the way in terms of performance so far. The players of the Spain team must be working hard in the most difficult matches. However, Spain are more likely to win today's match, with only five shots hitting the post in just 18 minutes. But the German team has not been able to attack so far, their performance is very poor.  

And in terms of betting, the most bet is on Spain team, because Spain team is strong in both attack department and defense department. But we have to wait until the end of the game, football is a game of uncertainty, the possibility of the result being different at any time is very high.

It is not like that from what is going on the pitch currently. Germany is winning possession and are dominating the match but since the last 15minutes Spain was able to hold the ball and tried their best to create chances but the chance was unable to fetch Spain a goal.

Manuel Neuer is strong and confident on the goal post and making most of Spain chances is problem. It will be hard for Spain to win this match because both clubs are very careful with the ball. It was in 1935 that Spain have won Germany last in German soil. The first half is over and the match ended in a goalless draw.

Having hopes at high is right of the every alive person, but we need to check ground realities as well with we all know Chelsea is having too many problems in last two years and things are surely not easy to manage and Enzo Maresca is having his first season at the top level with after having promotion of Leicester City now he is having new challenges which are surely going to have big difficulties for him even he is doing good work for setting squad before start of the season but it's never been easy while he will be gone for his first game and then having challenges ahead of them.

With he needs good time for fixing things and also after the start of the season he also needs to check problems which prevent them from having success in last seasons Todd Boehly is also going to have patience with this coach it's also important because if we have something wrong then surely he does not waste time to sack this coach as well.
We know well about Boehly’s patience, he promises a lot but doesn’t keep his word, I think Maresca won’t have much time to achieve results, I even think that he could achieve a better result in the Premier League with Leicester, because he already knows well this team and they are in good shape, well, actually they were with Maresca, now everything will be different. Maybe I'm wrong about Maresca in Chelsea, but it seems to me that nothing good will come of this idea.
You don't need to write him off in Chelsea because he might be the savior that they are looking for. Man give him the benefit of doubt and let's watch what he gat for Chelsea now that he is the manager of the club. Let it not be that he will bring his boys from Leicester city down to Chelsea and at the end will not meet up to expectations.

Chelsea is a big club and needs to be back to their feet which is not an easy task for any coach that will be in charge of the club because the club has lost their bearing since Todd took over the club as the new owner. Too much has been said and praises on Enzo, he should try his best next season for the club.
573  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: July 05, 2024, 02:44:39 PM
But if we consider each club's squad and their overall performance next season, City and Madrid naturally have to be considered hot favorites for the Champions League title. Because the performance of these two teams is stable and the squad is also very strong. However, Inter Milan, Munich, Arsenal or Barcelona also have the chance to perform well.
There are still shortcomings that Guardiola must improve next season, I think their defense line is still not that strong, they need to recruit new players who can guard the back line at Manchester City so that it is much stronger next season, another thing is also Manchester City's front line Don't rely too much on Haaland there, they need players on the front lines who are truly productive and can be goal machines, the competition between the two will definitely be very tight, which is why Guardiola will avenge his failure in the UCL last season. Mbappe's joining will also make things difficult for Manchester City next season unless they also make changes to their main squad.
Gaurdiola will be able to revenge their last season defeat by Real Madrid, because it will be impossible for that to happen. Next season is the last season of Gaurdiola in Manchester City and it is not possible for City to win the champios league next season because Real Madrid is still super hot with the addition of Mbappe the team will be fire.

Pep will try his best to make the competition interesting but the king will remain being king. Next season will be a tough one in UCL and apart from Real Madrid we might see surprises from small clubs that we don't expect. This is why I don't think that City will reach the finals.
574  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Growing both your Bitcoin and backup funds. on: July 04, 2024, 08:40:47 PM
The logic behind this is wrong, because nearly all of your money shouldn't be in BTC, for the rest of it to be called a 'backup' fund. There are other investments and assets you can purchase, gold, real estate, and many more you can find; your funds should be well diversified into different assets like these, alongside BTC. However, like you said, it is important to always have liquid asset, so you can live and solve necessary problems without liquidating your long term assets.
It depends on everyone size of income that will determine if you can invest in other investments along side with your bitcoin investment. If the investor is earning little and not much, it is better that he focus more on accumulating bitcoin with his discretionary income to a level that he feels he has enough Bitcoin and wants to invest in a different line of assets. This is when he can diversify to other assets. Real estate is not an investment for the poor or average but for the rich which will make me diversify into real estate as my last investment.

In whatever kind of investment that we are into be it real estate, gold or bitcoin emergency funds is very important be will prevent one from selling part of his investment when it is not of his will. If you just invest all your money, there is high possibility that your investment will be sold when a real emergency hits you. This is why the rich survive more than the poor when investing because they have various means where they can seek funds from without touching from their investments that is growing.

I think Kucoin made this move because those regulators have always been acting like they do not know what they are doing. I expected all well known exchanges to have been driven towards this path in a way Nigerian government can generate tax from cryptocurrencies. I really like to see this happening. But let us hope corruption will not prevail in a way that they will generate more taxes but the economy becoming poorer.
Hopefully... because the way I see those corrupt officials is just like fraudsters not even professional because  they make it open since they are covered by  their stupid immunity. This was their major intentions right from the start they just actually looked for a perfect  timing and now that they are getting what they want  let's see their next move
If its going to be done in the right way I will be very happy to see it happening because finally our minds will all settle down, government is very powerful and have unlimited power to do anything, I think finding a resolution on this issue is good at least all the three parties should be happy, the three parties are, government, exchange and we the citizens. When this start I will have confidence of transacting with free of mine without any fear.

My fear is that we Nigeria are very smart, this agreement shouldn't give room for money laundering especially our politicians I know must of them don't know how to use it but there are smart people among them, but what calmed my mind is that every transaction is traceable and it will easily be track down.
I don't understand why the happiness when you are being extorted for just trading in cryptocurrency without the local p2p. To me I see this new update as a means to make money from Nigerians without giving them the service which is needed the most. The last time I checked Kucoin, no Naira yet so what is the big deal about the VAT.

I will not use Kucoin again for anything until Naira p2p is available. I will prefer to use exchanges that allows p2p trade on Naira or a reputable exchange that does not collect VAT like Binance. Shebi una say other exchanges too go delist Naira p2p trading with time but we are still using it and nothi g has changed. Kucoin service is very expensive and they are like the Nigeria government that loves money and only care about themselves. The 7.5% is small but I don't see any need of it and I think Kucoin is doing it to their favor and not to the favor of their customers.
576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 04, 2024, 07:50:44 PM
Even though Antonio Conte himself is reportedly willing to let Osimhen go to another team, perhaps it is because the striker does not suit his strategy that he insists on bringing in Lukaku.
I'm not supporting Osimhen and I still don't know what's interesting about Lukaku, even though sometimes he plays well but sometimes he plays badly, why doesn't Conte keep Osimhen again in the new season to become a player who can be expected to bring new changes for Napoli again next season, we will never know in the Conte era the new season will come, who knows, Napoli will play as well as the previous season where they can get the Serie A trophy with good results. Conte must be able to save several other players so he can rotate players when there are injuries, of course he will not lack players on the front line if Osimhen is still at Napoli.  Cool
If Osimhen is still in Napoli he will perform his duty as the top striker because that is what he is being paid for. Lukaku will not be able to come over because it will be an additional expenses when no profit have come into the club's purse.

Osimhen might not leave Napoli soon only if after the end of the ongoing competitions, other clubs show interest on him. Arsenal is no longer interested in Osimhen even after Napoli reduced the price. He should accept whatever comes his way and move on with his life in Napoli till his time will come to leave the club.

Manchester United, who still entrust their team to Ten Hag, will definitely try to fully support Ten Hag to fulfill their ambitions next season, last season was certainly the most disappointing season for Manchester United, even though they were able to win the FA trophy but ended the season outside the Champions League zone is not the achievement they expected, Manchester United of course currently has very big ambitions to restore their glory, so it is very natural that Manchester United is starting to give ten hag the freedom to recruit staff and also players who are considered capable of making Manchester United become a great team again will be respected in the English and European leagues later.
The decision of Manchester United management to give Ten Hag time again next season to train all the players in the team is quite a wise decision. Because after all, each team must have patience in waiting for good results and this will of course be achieved through a long process by all teams. So the decision to keep the old coach on the team is not a bad decision and other people will not immediately blame the team management if Ten Hag is again unsuccessful in coaching the Manchester United team next season.
Ten Hag should be able able to do better next season by improving the quality and performance of the team because he has spent some time with them and should know where the laxity is and how to tackle it. It is not that easy for a new coach to come into a club that is not a good form and win the league with the team without reviving the team.

I am not expecting much from Ten Hag next season so that I will not be disappointed in him because he might not perform as expected next season but he will do better than this season. If he doesn't I don't know what will be his fate in Manchester united.

Of course we shouldn't look for patterns that can win our bets if the game we play is luck, because that just wastes our time and the game will just go on and if we get lucky then we will win and if we're lucky If it's not on our side then we won't win the bet, so if we keep trying to find a pattern to win the game, of course this will make us unable to enjoy the game we are playing.
-snip-

In simple terms, if you play a luck-based game, you don't need to be tired of looking for patterns, because you won't be able to beat the house edge. No matter how smart you are, no matter how good you are at finding patterns in the game, you will not be able to beat the algorithm that has been designed by the casino platform - which always puts them in the upper hand compared to the gamblers.

For getting huge chance to win yes maybe they should not look for the pattern since its all useless if the game is based on luck since everything will be stir up then result may come not into their favor if they are experience what they called bad luck. That's why they just think about having fun here and don't do excessive on everything on a game which they are not sure since as been said house will always win that's why we should change our mindset here if some people think about its possible for them to earn a lot of profit. But if they are for fun then I guess looking at those patterns and execute it would bring us a lot of fun since we can try to test out something that maybe can work for us for short time and defeat something that can put us on heavy boredom.
As gambling is based on luck thing, it means it's not necessary for a gambler to depend on strategy of pattern because winning is by luck it means that there are times that your strategies and patterns will not make you to win rather you might have a cut 1 on your ticket. However there are also games that requires patterns and or predictions but it's obvious that it's not all the times that those patterns and strategies will work for us because and in support of the saying that what works today might not work tomorrow because of how things changes everyday. Odds change which means if you win today you might lose tomorrow or if you lose today you might win tomorrow.
Looking for different strategies will not help you to be lucky and you will still run at loss. You might think that your new gambling strategy is working in the beginning but later, you will start losi g which means that luck was what brought those wins to you which you thought was your new strategy.

If you are gambling for fun, I don't think that you should stress yourself with looking for strategies that you will use to win your bet. Whatever will be the outcome of your bet will still be even if you use a new strategy.

Before the FA cup finals kicked off , pep guardiola while addressing the press sounded like they were having some kind of pity for Manchester united been a sister team and having to struggle all through the season with almost every of the league games they have been playing, I at some point felt he was sympathizing with them and so seeing Manchester united winning the FA cup at some point didn't come to me as a surprise because somehow I was hinted about it from guardiola's statements earlier before. It's not been spoken about because it appears most persons too were also sympathizing with Manchester united if not it was very obvious and clear Manchester city had more chances of winning the FA cup, even the squad that played the finals was their main first 11 so I believe Manchester city would be unstoppable on a normal day.
if that is true then that means it's rigged but I think you guys overthinking it, FA cup winner should be the deserving winner not just some title being given away, I think man united deserved the win and many people just underappreciate it.

these pep's statement thing is just conspiracy at best.
Whatever Pep Guardiola said before the match started, it was not proven at all during the match. Manchester United victory was due to the efforts of their players who made it difficult for Manchester City to score goals. Manchester United was also very motivated to win the match because apart from being able to win the only trophy last season, Manchester United would get a ticket to appear in the Europa League.
Manchester City cannot possibly just hand over the trophy to Manchester United, they also really want to end the season as the most accomplished club in the EPL. Luck came to Manchester United because they were able to finish the season by winning a trophy which made them appear in the Europa League.
Weawat, is are a Chelsea fan and I can see it in his post because Manchester united deprived them from playing in Europa and pushed them down to Conference cup. If not how will you say that it was out of sympathy that made Pep allowed Manchester united to win the finals that trophy, funds, respect and record will be achieved.

That final match was the only match ETH got right in all the matches last season and it was as if he took that match so personal in order for him to keep his job. Manchester city underestimated United and believed that it will be an easy win for them. In EPL Manchester united was able to draw City which shows that Eric Hag understands City football pattern.

Yamal could be their future, of course selling him would be great if they could find a free transfer that would be equally good but they can't. So if they sell him, for lets say 200+ million euro (which I think PSG will not do that officially) then I think Barcelona would not be able to pay their debt with that, that's the issue.

I do not trust that management, because even if you give them a billion dollars, it doesn't look like they will be debt free right away, they will first look at players to buy. They have not made the team any better by firing Xavi neither, he was the one that gave Yamal time when he is only 16 years old and this kid is now playing at euros for Spain. The reality is that Barcelona is mismanaged and there is no getting better unless they change the president and his squad.
I also think like you. Management's missteps lead the team to disaster. Barcelona is one of the best teams in the world and it is abnormal to be managed with so much debt. They also have difficulty finding financial resources to pay off the debt. Naturally, success does not come in football. The players are not as extraordinary as they used to be. They have one of the best squads in La Liga, but they will continue to be in the shadow of Real Madrid
Selling players to pay part of their debt can help the club to reduce the debt rate because if Barcelona does not sell any player to pay part of their debt and use the other part to buy a player for replacement, they will still not be able to win laliga because Real Madrid is stronger than them in finance and in strength.

This is why I think it will be wise for them to sell Yamal but if the think that is not the best option for them then let the management keep him. One thing is that they will not be able to keep their players for long if the are not winning trophies, because that is what motivate players not to leave a club. Mismanagement can turn a professional club to an underdog if things are not done fast to raise funds.
