We dont know the full story and we didnt hear anything back from poorbot owner.
If he spend his own balance and money from other people than I dont see any problem with that.
I dont know how I would react in his situation but I wouldnt be happy with stake announcement.

Yes it is not a problem if what he lost is fully his own money but if there are also some money that he should send back to stake's users. No valid complaint until now against poorbot, tried to find information at Stake's dedicated forum but seems that there is no post about poorbot to. Hopefully no one is affected by what was done by poorbot or in other word is that poorbot lost all his money only.
I think that can be the only explanation why stake has offered any complains about the issue, because if some of the funds lost were actually tied to stake users then I think by an accusation or some sort of thread would have been actively discussed

But it's seems the whole issue wasn't actually what we taught as the poorbet owner himself has cleared the air and hopefully they would restart it as he states and with lowered fee too.

62  Economy / Speculation / Re: What to do when there is a continues DIP on: June 22, 2024, 10:27:19 PM
There are some investors that waits for a dip price to buy and when the dip comes and they buy but they begin to experience that the price is even dipping further, so is there a need to panic or continue buying at every dip price if you still have some reserved funds with you because even though many wish for a dip to happen in order for them to buy Bitcoin but there are investors that expects the price to skyrocket after buying so if the price continues to dip further, is it not going to make those investors to lose confidence that the price may later not increase again?
Well there are two set of person that will react to this differently and one of them is the

 confident investor : they are ones that would see every opportunity that the market dips as an appointed time to buy and hoard Bitcoin without being scared of the dip .

Novice investor: these set are the one that always panic and feel every dip is a problem to them as they feel their coins or Bitcoin is going disappear.

For me I feel the moment you are addicted to something it's definitely going to be bad Because it makes you crave to do or satisfy those urges and there is absolutely no bound to you when you are on the quest to satisfy this particular urge. You can even sell off your property and even take crazy loans just for the fact that you are addicted to that habit.

Newcastle United is consider to be threat to other EPL elite team and we know they're very competitive when it comes to matches. Newcastle United is owned and managed by top Saudi Arabian investors and we know their capability when it comes to clubs. These men doesn't care about the huge sums spend in transfer window, they're eager and care about the growth of the club and will continue pushing to accomplish excellent outcome at the end.
Yes, they have been improving in the last three season because they spent a lot of money in the transfer market to set these players that made them mire competitive in the EPL. They are trying to sign some more quality players in the summer to make the team more competitive than they used to be, the main problem and the reason why they don't have access to top class players is because they are not yet a top team even in the EPL, but the players they have will make them more popular if they are able to win trophies.

I think Arsenal will make it next season because I don't think Arteta will take any trophy for granted because he could have win even if it is FA Cup for his team since his arrival. He will try to win the EPL, and any other trophy if possible win both EPL, Carling Cup, and FA Cup.
Arsenal is also developing under Mikel Arteta. In the last 3 seasons Arsenal have proven that they deserve to win the title, but they always fail towards the end of the season. The inconsistency in the team's performance towards the end of the season made Arsenal lose the title they dreamed of, which made Manchester City very comfortable dominating the title even for 4 consecutive seasons.

I think the performance of Arsenal has been improved under the management of Arteta, they have been playing a better football in the last two seasons despite having it difficult to win any trophy but their game plans has changed the team has winning mentality and they are in good form to play any team they play against all happens under the management of Arteta. I believe Arsenal has learnt their lessons when they lost the trophy twice to Manchester City I think during the next season they will be able to fight to the end and make sure they break that record of not winning the league trophies.




Arteta is still a young coach but he has good knowledge so far, especially after working with Guardiola he got even more experienced and he will be a better coach for Arsenal even in the next season when he gets more experienced. Arsenal was very close to beating Manchester City and winning the Premier League title during this season and that's something they couldn't get in the last season.
That's why I think Arsenal will even have a better performance considering what we saw from Arteta and his team in the past.


They actually have no choice than to actually get themselves better in terms of their consistent in winning because that's exactly happened to them and the sole and major reason for them to miss out on the premier league title last season, arteta still has a lot of playing time on his side and I know for sure if he continues like this or even get better they will surely win the league for atleast one of their tries.

I think it would be smarter to just not marry this person and forget about the money and think to yourself this was a close call and you got off cheaper than you would otherwise. It's worse to spend time on them and realize it was a mistake.
I think this is will be a good decision for the lady, going into marriage with a man so addictive to gambling can also be a serious problem to her which will also affect her. Situation like this will keep on happening,  this particular one of gambling with money that was supposed to for the marriage ceremony didn't just happen by mistake, what gets me so surprised about this story is the audacity. I think this man sees gambling as the most important thing in his life , other things can came second.  People who play gambling like this can be a problem to other people,  which they can use the money of people to settle their gambling urge first.
The whole is better that she got a better view of what she was actually trying to get herself into because it's definitely not a good option to gamble on your happiness and make this error of actually marrying such person because this kind of person like you said are always of the opinion that gambling is their first priority and nothing more and if he can do this on his wedding then definitely more other places or times when eventually they do get married.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Copa America 2024 Prediction Thread on: June 22, 2024, 09:57:23 PM
A beautiful start for Argentina, only by beating Chile in the second match will make Argentina ensure their safe place in the knockout rounds. On the other hand, I think Canada is unlucky to be in the same group as Argentina, Chile and Peru, apart from Argentina, Chile and Peru are also teams being considered in CONMEBOL. I can confirm that Canada will not progress to the next round and will be the bottom team in Group A later. The next match will start today, still from group A, it is the Peru - Chile match.
Argentina team managed to defeat Canada team in the first match. As a result, the confidence of the players of Argentina will increase. Naturally, the Argentine team is the favorite for this year's Copa America title. If the players are confident, Argentina will win this year's Copa America title.
The other two teams in Group A are Peru and Chile. Both these teams are not very strong. If Argentina's players are confident, Argentina will win easily in all the matches in the group stage. Especially Alvarez and Martinez will try their best to perform well in the next match.
Argentina is one of the favorite teams to probably win the Copa America, that's reasonable, because they managed to win the 2022 WC, that's why. Having a good team composition in each place is also Argentina's current advantage.

BTW, I don't agree with you who said Peru & Chile are not strong teams, they are the 2 teams being considered, if it was US & Panama maybe I could agree. Look at how the Peru - Chile match went and how it turned out, they didn't want to give their opponents full points against each other, which makes Argentina the current top of the standings, but in Argentina's second meeting they have to face Chile, we don't know whether there will be any surprises in that match or not.

I think the Peru and Chile teams are not strong enough to win the Copa America title. And that's what I felt after watching their performance yesterday. They played to draw the match. Both teams tried to attack after keeping the defense tight. This is why we don't see any goals in this match.

But how strong these two teams are can be understood by looking at the performances of Peru and Chile against Argentina. If these two teams can get points against Argentina then they have a chance to qualify for the next round. But I don't think Peru and Chile can score any points against Argentina.
Well I don't know about Peru but I think Chile can always rustle up something against Argentina because they and Argentina do go back along way although for now their performance isn't that much but that still doesn't clear out the fact that Chile can definitely stand up with Argentina and actually drag some points with them. But although their game with Peru was indeed poor as you stated but that too can change when they face off with Argentina.

Napoli's new coach, Rubi Garcia, has promised to track a record that will be capable of taking Napoli to the next level, and if we give him time, it will be a mystery for Napoli because Rubi Garcia has wide experience as a coach in European football, and with his talent, everything will be possible. 
 
Considering the fact that Osimhen wants to leave Napoli for a long time is known, but still, even in the English Premier League, there are many teams that will like to accept Osimhen because he can fit in many teams, like Manchester City, where he might be a supporter for Haaland, Arsenal, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, where he might be their backup to Kane, and PSG, who might still like him as their replacement for mbappe. and some other team, so I don’t think it will be hard for Osimhen to fit in with many teams in the English Premier League. 

Do you mean Antonio Conte? Because, Rudi Garcia was a bloody mess with Napoli. Glad to see he's finally gone for good. The current State of Napoli reminds me of Chelsea when Antonio Conte took over. I'm sure he'll win a trophy this season of not the Scudetto Seria A Competition. Lol.

Are you joking? You want a big name like Victor Oshime who can give you 25+ goals in a season to be backup player? Must be maed and stuff.

Arsenal I can agree as they'll be needing a new striker. Manchester City? Come on man, they have both Erling Haaland and both Alavarsz.

Chelsea cannot spend that big on Victor Oshime. Backup for Harry Kane to be Victor? Jesus Fvcknn Christ!!! I'm disappointed.
Well don't be disappointed mate, I believe he is not that too updated with sports new and that's why he missed out on Napoli new coach 😁, well as for the club where osimien would play, I think every one is just speculating as all the news are just rumors on the air as no one has been certain enough to sign him. But your insight to the particular club where he go is actually a good though.

I found this link: https://scorenigeria.com.ng/revealed-the-5-shortlisted-foreign-coaches-for-super-eagles/

It published the 5 shortlisted foreign coaches that the NFF had on their list for appointment, i don't know if they are going to go ahead and appoint one of them, or if they are going to go for a local coach. Everything is confusing around the Nigerian national team right now and this uncertainty is going to further affect the players performances, they have to sort themselves out pretty fast and see if they can qualify for the world cup, the 2025 AFCON qualifiers is also set to start in a few months, so we must get things right very quickly.
I don't want to sound really negative but I feel the chances of the super eagles actually correcting this mistake of their is going to be very hard and I wouldn't be even suprised if they weren't able to finally qualify for the AFCON due in few months time. Nigeria has a lot of talents some of which are even world class but it's just sad that Nigeria still can't play good football and make things work for themselves.

The volatile nature of bitcoin creates room for people to hope and pray for it to fall so that they can accumulate more. Just because they want the price to fall doesn't necessarily mean that they need Bitcoin to fail; all they want is a good buying opportunity, which most people have mapped out at a different price. 
 
For wise investors, using the DCA method, they can buy at any given price, low or high, without even waiting for the bitcoin price to drop below $60,000, which they are currently buying as they go until they reach their holding volume target. It's as simple as that. 
Well most person that are thinking this might be the are maybe the ones that have been doubtful of the actual increase of Bitcoin and when they see the price has pumped they feel they have missed and pray for the price to be corrected so that they can maybe wrap their hand on Bitcoin

Gambling is not retirement. Houses usually have an edge. This is how its always been and always will be. But, you know? You can still appreciate it. Good bets have always excited me. The thrill, adrenaline, and big win are what its about. Its not about getting rich fast. A loser's game.

Be smart when gambling. Know the odds, your limits, and most importantly, its fun. Like buying a performance ticket. Winning and losing happen. Thats life. Resist anyone who says otherwise. Avoid the lure of quick money. A fool's bet. Be smart, disciplined, and most importantly responsible. Winners play that way.
Yes, a good bet is cool. I believe that we enjoy it precisely because of good bets, which can bring us not only a lot of adrenaline, but also a possible monetary reward. People are not used to talking about it, but if they want entertainment and if they say that money is not the main thing, then why don't they play free games? You know that there are many very interesting free games. There are games for one person, games for two, and finally there are free games for the whole team.
But classic free games. Few people consider games like checkers or chess to be gambling. Because money gives excitement to the game.
Everyone like to enjoy that thrills that comes with winning and moreover the human nature add more value to things that are actually not free and see free things as not worthy enough and I believe this is also the reason people love playing games actively on casino, that particular feeling of winning something is what just drives many people that gamble to an addiction.

Mbappe is a great player and I'm sure Carlo Ancelotti is delighted to have him now. His rotation is quite wide right now. Considering that Arda Güler plays great in the wing position, they have a lot of options and a young average age. We can say that Ancelotti has established the squad for the next 5 years.
Signing prominent young talents will make good ringing next season because Los Blancos squad is most significant among other oppositions. Real Madrid president, Florentino Pérez is one of the top club's president that know exactly how to comprehend the formulation of a club and have delivered good positioning for the club. While on the other hand, Carlo Ancelotti will cook everybody next season, we should get ourselves ready for feast next season because Real Madrid have showed upon themselves to be up and running.
A little look at Real Madrid squad really show they will repeat the result of this season. Everything seems to be so well arranged for them especially the entry of Kylan Mbappe, who many believe is the best signing for Real Madrid. But I will not be too fast is thinking that Madrid will have their way when the season have not even started. It is after they lay few matches, we will see how well Mbappe will blend into the team and his impact as well. Sometimes coaches find it hard selecting a formidable team when he has too many good options to chose from, I just hope Ancelotti will not be in that situation next season.

Real Madrid's performance will not decline next season either; they will gain more strength because of the presence of Mbappe, although even before Mbappe came in, they were doing very well. Furthermore, I think the Champions League will be very tough this season. Arsenal, Manchester City, and other teams will want to take down Real Madrid, which won’t be a difficult thing for them. But it will be too early to predict how teams will perform next season, so let’s watch and see.
Well the way the whole world feels that Real Madrid are going to be extra super just makes me wonder the possibility that this might just go the other way round, no doubt that Real Madrid are filled with talents and coming of mbappe sites only positivity but the game can be cruel sometimes and the whole expectations can turn the other way round.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 21, 2024, 09:05:52 PM
`

Well, it's no wonder we speculate about Kross's position. It's a real shame that he retired. When I see him playing in Germany in this Euro I say to myself, how is it possible that he retires with so much football under his belt and still able to delight us with his great plays? How is it possible? But anyway, with Ancelotti, Madrid will be able to find a way to put together a suitable formation without him until they find the right one. And with Mbappé, well, they already have someone to put up front. There are many players who can accompany Mbappé, but to be honest, I think that Madrid already needs a very good midfielder, because for me the base of Madrid has always been its midfielders.

Nobody wants a legend gone. Kroos is a winner and a maestro. He improves Madrid. But he's aging. He deserved retirement. Seeing him play for Germany is sad. He's touchy. He's still seeing. No doubt, the game is bittersweet. Players go, yet the club continues.

Dont underestimate Ancelotti. He knows. He has promising young star Bellingham. Another rising star is Camavinga. His Modric is still strong. Not Kroos, but damn good. Maybe this is Real Madrid's chance to grow. To experience something new. To leave a mark. So, yeah, we'll miss Kroos. Still, Im excited. Lets see how this team does. Let them prove they're still the best.


Toni Kross is simply one of the games beautiful mysterious just like Andrea pirlo of Italy who was totally a genuine just like Toni Kross. I have really enjoyed his presence in the game and would have loved to see him continue but just as you said, this particular feature of players coming and going is one that makes the game so unique and for Madrid all what they can do is simply to adjust and look for someone to fill up that space.

For France, I feel they'd find it difficult getting a goal scoring opportunity after they could not utilize the opportunity they got through Rabiot and Griezmann in the early hours of the game. After that, they have been having their chances blocked by Netherlands. Frankly, I don't expect less in this game because both sides will be looking to overpower each other and as such if it ends like this, it won't be a surprise as both will qualify for playoffs at the end of the day.

These are two strongest teams in the group, so they could as well end this with a tie. These two are going to move out of the group anyway. The thing that matters more for the Netherlands to win against Austria and this is going to be a more equal matchup, so greater probability it will go either way, although France is doing worse in this current match than I expected them to.

This could've easily been 1-0 for the Netherlands with that last goal the judges decided to ignore.


Well the game has been nothing but pure brilliance from both team and all I could say is that France has improved atleast better than their first game. France and Netherlands are really the strongest team in that group and with the way the game is going I think they are going to settle it as a draw and sharing the points will be the only option.

And who be the person wey tell you say to sell property invest for Bitcoin nah better thing? Oga the rest things wey you talk I fit agree to those ones but this aspect of to sell property to get money invest for Bitcoin they very very wrong because and things wey you call property they worthfull, con be say you even include land join am. To sell land for be normal thing for you but no doubt me if I tell you say e no good go sell land because of say you won invest for Bitcoin or use am gamble. Land nah valuable thing, if you no dey work make you no sell property because you won invest for Bitcoin, besides no be buy force to buy Bitcoin nah buy choice.
Land na actually one of the few assets wey dey actually add value to itself over time than other properties you fit think of, if na only me, selling your land to buy Bitcoin no be really good idea and besides Incase you wan even sell property for Bitcoin sef it should be one that has no value again so that we no go dey think twice about the benefits of that actually property. If na only me sef just make sure you get a stable source of income and no Carry Bitcoin investment put for head then at the long you con actually sell off the Bitcoin  because e go be waste for the two sides.

Here in the country, as far as I know, there are taxes that are taken from gamblers when they withdraw a large amount when a casino is regulated by the government where it is located. But when it's tax-free, casinos like that are usually illegal, in my opinion.

But always, if we are the gambler or the player who won the jackpot in the casino, we don't want to be taxed. That's why we still have to follow because those are the rules of our government as long as we don't deduct too much.
Well I don't think I have heard about gambling winnings actually being task over here in my country although am too sound with the regulation about gambling winnings and casino but one thing I know is that I haven't come across a situation or complaint of someone actually being tasked when withdrawing Huge amount won from a Gambling site.

Last two season it was Union Berlin who narrowly escape relegation in this just concluded season; I hope we see another team again next season to have such performance as Stuttgart.
Bayern Munich and Leverkusen’s debate on who to win the League is still on and it is something we can’t conclude until we see Kompany’s effort in the beginning of next season.
To be honest i would say that we start from scratch again next season as there are so many changes for a lot of teams.
Bayern Munich , Stuttgart and also Leverkusen and Dortmund will be losing and getting players.
For sure Leverkusen and Munich  will be going into that as favorites.
Lets see what will happen after the Euro 2024.
Well only one thing will as you have already sighted and that's the circulation of players because they are definitely going to be some new talents that will be showed off after the euro tournament and lots of clubs will be actively trying to adds these talents to their squad. For me I think I would rule out Bayern Leverkusen first in next season competition because something in me just feels they are going to lose players and which may affect their performance.

Barcelona prefer waiting for signing player have been free agent or looking opportunity with some player sign them as loan option, its the fact Barcelona get financial problem and difficult to sign most qualities players at higher price because their financial not stable yet in last several season.
Next season seems Hansi Flick will priority for promoting many young players to senior team after Xavi Hernandez success achievement promote Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsí, Fermín López and Alejandro Balde.

I'm not really happy for Barcelona with the current financial crisis they're into right now. This financial problem will seriously affect their level of effectiveness in terms of performance in the next season. This is why I think it's one of the club's most important steps and hopes now to sign the sponsorship deal with Nike sportswear. That sponsorship deal will be a great deal for Barcelona because it will empower them with the financial capacity to get bigger players to finish the season.
For Barcelona, ​​their only chance now is new and high-paying sponsorship deals. Maybe the team can come to better places with these sponsor agreements because Barcelona is a very big team and it is unusual for them to fall behind like this in every transfer window. Barcelona is a very good team and a possible sponsorship agreement could cause them to rise to the level.
Well that's definitely what they need, because as its stand they are financially down and they need a lot of players to be signed during this window in order for them to actually add some strength to their squad atleast they do have a name to uphold after all these years of prestigious participation and brilliance in the Spanish Laliga.

Considering that Arda Güler plays great in the wing position, they have a lot of options and a young average age. We can say that Ancelotti has established the squad for the next 5 years.
Maybe, maybe not they are yet to finalise it, they are used to having alot of talented players no doubt  and about the rotation , if I get it right I.e rotating mbappe for other player  which I don't  think it will be very possible  although  they might want to rest him but rotating  him frequently might not be very possible IMO but if it turns out to be true then I hope he adapt without losing  form ( don't  forget about hazard ,although his case was different..)
This is exactly what I have trying to highlight since, the fact that everyone is so keen on mbappe actually hitting it off as quick as possible is just something I have decided to keep an open view about because there is every possiblity that he might end up not living up to the expectations just like Eden harzard. But I see a slight option for ancelotti to actually play him upfront as he is already versatile striker and can adjust very fine there.

The England team should have won their today’s match to be free from any form of disqualification from the group, they failed to beat Denmark despite having one of the best wingers in the competition, they draw to Denmark after a lucky win against Serbia in their opening match. I am not confident with the England team’s performance, they have failed me because I expect more than this from them because they are my favorites in the tournament because three of my Arsenal players are playing in the team.

Looking at the quality of players in the England team but yet they are not performing as they should be performing then I think we should know where the challenges is coming from. They are playing poorly because of their manager, Southgate is not qualified to bring victory to England. He has being coaching them for some long but he has not brought home any trophies. There are many top premier league players and he does not know how to play them as a team. He is keeping players that can create chances on the bench and player that do not create chances are still being allowed to play. Cole Palmer was not substituted in when the teams need more big chances to be created when he has being doing that singlehandedly last season for Chelsea.
I think I have also shared my complaint on the poor performance of England and the worse part is that they have all the players and what it takes to actually play good football and get the results but yet they have struggled and continue to struggle in terms of even general performance which for me is very sad. As for the managerial position, I think I support you on actually south gate not being competent enough to manage their affairs.
