601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 03, 2024, 03:09:47 PM
Xavi must be very dissappointed at Barcelona this season for going empty handed.He took them to a Lalliga tittle last season,hoping to defend and retain the tittle this season,but Madrid was more powerful than they could ever immagine.At first,it was Girona who was showing extraordinary strength,and everyone believed they could win the trophy,but along the way,they got tired,fatigue came in, injuries came in,and they dropped form.But atleast,that coach has made a statement to their boards,that if they can give him money to sign players,he can surprise people by winning the league for them because he won most of the big teams this season, except Madrid,who are now the favourite for the tittle.congratulation to Girona and Madrid.

Girona was amongst the teams top rated for the La Liga title but their inability to win Real Madrid made them lost the title hope of the league. But Girona can still do better next season because they still got one of the best players and a good coach to see them through achieving that in the next season. With their performance this season, they’ll be watched by many teams in the La Liga and won’t give them a chance to beat them like they did in most of the matches this season. They will also be playing in the Champions League next season, so I feel they’ll be tougher and more stronger to be easily defeated in the La Liga. Barcelona didn’t have such a very bad season, it was only their high expectations that makes it hard for them to believe that the tried this season.
The most critical thing for Girona will be next year because at the end of this year, teams will come forward and want to transfer many of their players. What they will do in the face of this situation and what strategy they will follow will be the key to next year. Considering that some loan players will return, we will see an end of the year where critical decisions will be made for Girona. I hope they will show us similar excitement next year, but I doubt they will be able to show the same performance if there are transfers and they lose important players.

This will be a big challenge for Girona next season if some players leaves the club. I believe that the coach would put this into consideration and make a good replacement for those players that will be leaving so that Girona can perform like this or better than this since they will be playing in the Champions League next season.

I don't want to underestimate Barcelona in their upcoming game against Girona, because I feel that Barcelona will want to win this match in order for them to be in the second position a d to also show the world that they are still in form no matter what happened to them in UCL semifinals and in El Clasico match. I give them a win.

Luck is not something that comes all the time and that's what makes it special when it comes to you while you are gambling, some people cheat when they gamble and they said is luck which are all lies but inside them they already know that it want luck but cheating.
However I was lucky to win a bet with my last stake some days ago and I am happy for that, that's why I have to bring it here let's discuss about it, whether you have also win some amount of money with your last stake. I went to a betting shop around my locality then I bet with $10 and lose all of them so I was holding  up to $1 separately for transporting my self back to my residence, but funny how I staked with my transport money and won.
Although, I had more money on  my account that I can use for transporting my self back to my house if incase I lost the physical cash, that was why I wasn't afraid to stake with it.

Then it turns out that this was not your last money. If, in addition to this dollar, you also had money for travel, then that’s a different story.
To answer your question, I will say that I am not a supporter of playing for the last money. I am not a fan of gambling with money that one cannot afford to lose. I believe that you can only spend money that a person will not notice if he loses it. Strictly speaking, no, I have never done this and do not recommend it to anyone. And leave the talk about luck, and about the fact that luck favors the brave, to someone else, nothing good will come of it. This may happen once or twice, but sooner or later you will have to “walk home”
It is key to not participate in that kind of behavior even once, as if you were to gamble all your money away and you were left with no money at all, you may begin to think about using your next paycheck to recover what you have lost and you may lose it all again, beginning a downward spiral from which it may be too difficult to escape, so the best thing you can do is to avoid getting into it to begin with, a relatively easy thing to do if you ask me.
I agree with you, it is not even waiting to get the next paycheck in order for him to chase his losses, but such person can go as far as taking loan or borrow money from his friends or relatives to gamble. This is because he can use his last money to gamble, which means he is not a discipline gambler.

Whoever risks his last money to gamble might become an addict if he is not, because he thinks that gambling is something that can do be anyhow without reservation. What if an emergency comes up after you lost the bet, it means that gambler will go around seeking for favor from people around him, which makes it not a wise decision.

This has been said so many times in this forum, i am not sure if it warrants a new thread on this same matter, but...yeah.
Do not quit your job if you have one until you have become very profitable in bitcoin trading.
Even if you manage to get the knowledge of trading and start making some money from it, it still isn't enough reason for you to quit your job. You cannot be certain of making money continuously from trading, but if you have a job, you can be almost certain you'll get your salary at the end of every month, except you get fired.
It is better to on the payroll of a company, firm or government than just relying solely on yourself. Trading is very risky and one can acquire a big loss from one trade which makes it not secured as a means of earning a living.

Trading should be seen as a side job, and should be done with caution to avoid regretting your actions of trading often, because the market is all about profit and loss.

It is better to invest than trading, because trading is complex and have a lot of risk attached to it unlike investing, that has less stress and tension.

Chelsea is indeed not predictable, I am also among people that did not expect them to win this match because of their last two matches performance, and for the fact that Tottenham’s fighting for Champions League spot and with the way Aston Villa is on form, they need to keep winning in order to reduce the points difference, but they couldn’t use this match they had as outstanding to make it; I don’t think it is too late because Aston Villa can also drop points, and if Tottenham can keep winning their matches, they can make it.
I agree when I say that Chelsea is very difficult to predict at the moment because in every match they have played until now they have been unpredictable in a match.

They always play very well when facing clubs that can be said to be at the same level or even stronger than them, but on the other hand they also sometimes play worse when facing opponents who are much worse than them.
In today's match Chelsea played very well because they managed to withstand the attack that Tottenham carried out in today's match.
Tottenham made a very hard effort, apart from trying to create a rhythm that was in their favor in the second half, they were even braver by playing more aggressively, but indeed Chelsea were quite focused in today's match which made them remain consistent in maintaining the score which made 3 points. for them in today's match.
A lovely day for Chelsea today as they were able to be victorious over their opponent, who put in all effort and pressuring at the same time to see how they can find the back of the net, but Chelsea defenders stood firm, and was unshakable despite all the effort from Tottenham.

I thought that Chelsea was going toose this match because of their inconsistency in their matches, but it turned out the opposite way. All three points for Chelsea cause for celebration.

If Roma can't equalise in the remaining 15 minutes, they won't stand a chance in the return game... Roma's goal is the last event in my multi bet... I don't understand why they are playing so badly today... Only took five shots and conceded two goals... Yes, probably Leverkusen will be the champion...
Roma was depressed by the first goal scored by Wirtz in the first half. I don't know what happened that Roma allowed Leverkusen to take over the midfield which is a problem for them to cope with in the match.

A powerful shot from Andrich gave Leverkusen their second goal on the 73rd minutes. With the current scoreline, it is clear that there is no hope for Roma with the way that they are playing. They are not showing any seriousness of how to cancel one goal, talk more of equalizing the two goals. I must say that I am disappointed in Roma tonight. It 0-2
606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 02, 2024, 07:39:44 PM
Bayer Leverkusen have had a good run this season and won some games that people never expected them to win. It will not be surprising if they find a way to not allow Roma end their title run to win the Europa, a second trophy for them this season.
Leverkusen still have some dangerous players of their own, and will not make many mistakes if Roma make defensive errors.

Roma have a good home playing record, and will not be easy for Leverkusen to defeat, and they were also the team that knocked them out of this competition last season. For Roma, it is another chance  to redo what they did last season, for Leverkusen, it is a chance at revenge.


Yeah this match has just started and I can see the sportsbook favoring Leverkusen, I don't deny it if you say that Leverkusen is playing well this season but somehow I'm not sure if AS Roma lost today I mean the worst thing that can happen is a draw, imo. Apart from that, AS Roma will try to take advantage of opportunities when playing at home because of the upcoming second leg match they don't have much chance.
Leverkusen have taken the lead on the 28th minutes with a clean finish by Wirtz, after there was a short back pass by Roma player Rick Carsdorp which was an an error. The goal have motivated the visitors and they have taken over possession, and they are pressuring for a second goal.

On the other hand Roma is getting tensed and they have started losing confidence in themselves unlike before the goal was not scored. I just hope that Roma are not being demoralized by this goal that they have conceded.

Roma 0-1 Leverkusen

Like said by the first poster above, Pi network is a scam and they are deceiving people that it is for real, making those people who are eager to mine new coins submit their data to them in disguise for access to withdraw the coins that have been mined by them. It end up that you cannot withdraw a dime from that network as I don't think that it is for real.

I have some neighbors around that are fed up of Pi network, because one of them told me that he has mined enough, and they tell him that he can use it to pay for goods, but he got angry when he was not given access to use it after several promises from the dev. There is nothing free in free town, so I would advise you not to waste your time on that coin, and look for a reputable coin to buy, and not to mine for free.

What streamers do is to advertise a casino for people to patronize the casino, which means they are in business with the casino, and I will not doubt it that streamers are using demo accounts when streaming.

But this is bad, because those people that are watching will get tricked in the sense that they will think that it is real account, and before you know it they will involve themselves in gambling using huge amount of money like what they watch the streamer do, unknown to them that it is not a real account. I will say that it is like luring someone into something that you cannot do yourself with your own funds.
609  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buy a Bonus VS playing Slot on normal Spin - which do you prefer? on: May 02, 2024, 03:29:25 PM
I will first of all say that you won big with just $2 and you won $54, that should have made your day great assuming that you quit the game. But I can understand that greed will not make us know when to stop playing because we are not satisfied with our wins, and will want more wins, which will finally end to losing all our bankroll. Why is it just too hard to let go of our bet when winning or losing, even though we claim to be a responsible gambler.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?
Buying bonus or playing normal spin is the same, because when it is not your lucky game, you will lose the game, but if it is your lucky game, you will win it. Just like what happened to OP, he was lucky to win 54 bucks with 10 free spin, and assuming he bought the 20 free spin, he will still lose, just as he lost.

talking about the other semi final
I'm really looking forward to today's PSG match
Is it worth taking a chance on PSG winning or am I risking too much?

If you want to follow bookies predictions then it is PSG that is expected to win.
For me it is a draw > PSG > Borussia Dortmund with a small narrow and a high risk between the draw and PSG victory. If Borussia Dortmund would win the game then it will be a surprise for me since they were able to reach that point thanks to the relatively weaker opponents they faced comparing to the other teams that are playing semifinals.

And once again I lost the bet, I'm not having much luck in the UCL semi-finals
Borussia got a great result
PSG didn't play badly, a couple of shots against the post prevented PSG from drawing, but the result of the match wasn't so bad for PSG, who are also fully capable of winning in Paris, even by two goals

The 2 matches so far have left me very excited, I hope to see great emotions next week as well, and I'll try to win the bets this time and get my money back hehehe

Can you imagine the final PSG x Bayern again?  Shocked Shocked Shocked
The host of the second leg matches needs to secure a win if they want to qualify to the finals. PDG is capable of winning in Paris, but I just hope that we don't get disappointed in them next week. Dortmund played impressively yesterday and that was a good result achieved by the host team.

Bayern Munich needs to try hard in Spain to avoid them being eliminated from going to the finals. However, Real Madrid is a team that you cannot go to their home and win them in a semifinals match like this, because it is impossible for that to happen in Spain. This will make both second leg matches something on cannot predict correctly.
611  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do not get discouraged by the current price of Bitcoin on: May 02, 2024, 01:55:27 PM
What is happening currently is just like what happened when the news that bitcoin ETF would be approved by January 10th,and before then a lot of people invested in bitcoin thinking that immediately the ETF is approved bitcoin price will skyrocket. Maybe that guy is in a rush to take profit thinking bitcoin works like ponzi scheme.

It didn't happened like that, but instead the price of bitcoin dipped for some days before it started pumping. So most people that are panicking because of the recent dip, thinks that immediately after the halving, the price of bitcoin will pump, which is where they got it wrong. The halving only triggers the bull run, so no need to worry because the bull run is on its way. Relax and hodli, if you ha e extra funds enjoy buying at the dip.

612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can You Submit KYC Before You Win Big on: May 01, 2024, 10:09:56 PM
Since I know that the casino will ask for KYC verification if I win big, I would prefer to gamble without providing it until I win big or whenever they ask me for KYC. There is no need to me to rush in doing the KYC thing when I know that it does not deprive me from gambl9amd withdrawing my small wins.

Everything is getting centralized by the government and for casinos to be regulated by the government, they must need the KYC of their users which makes it impossible for one to enjoy the world of gamble without KYC. I can give you my data when I win big at least it is worth risking.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 01, 2024, 09:33:56 PM
Dortmund played perfectly, they could have scored more goals. But on the other hand, PSG could have scored too, they were unlucky with two balls that hit the post in quick succession.
Seriously the two clubs performed well in the match, but I never expected Dortmund to win the match, I placed bet on PSG to win the match, but Dortmund performance was just so nice which gave them a win in the match. let’s see how the second leg of the match is going to be, but Dortmund have to be careful, the second leg won’t really be a easy one, PSG will want to do everything possible just to win the second leg of the match, but since Dortmund can surprise us in the first leg, let’s hope they will be able to surprise us in the second leg of the match.
Dortmund played better in the first half, and the first 30 mins was dominanted by them, and they were able to use that as an advantage to score when they had the chance. The second half was more in the favor of PSG, but they were not lucky enough to score just one goal, as Mbappe ball was a bar ball. It was a wonderful game but with just one goal, unlike yesterday game that we had 4 goals.

PSG will not take it slightly in the second leg, and Dortmund needs to be aware of that because that is PSG only hope of winning so that they can qualify to the finals. Let it not be a shock to us, if it happens that PSG did not qualify to the finals. This is why the zeal and passion of qualifying to the fins must be a key factor in their performance in order for them to achieve it.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 01, 2024, 08:02:38 PM
my estimation, there are several options that we can choose as betting options. we can use the handicap option with odds 0:0 for PSG. or, the 1x2 option if many people believe PSG will win this match. So, let's wait and see, the match will be held in a few moments.


Borrusia Dortmund surprising everyone with leading the game 1-0 against Paris Saint-Germain. Edin Terzic and his team was prepared enough to handled such tremendous performance of thr visitors and this is really an important game for both teams. I've settled for positive facts about football, we should not underestimate any opponents because the best team comes with promising players and having good composure to win matches.
Paris Saint-Germain
Honestly, I love the game composure of Dortmund and how confidently they keep on attacking and pressuring PSG defense. A sharp goal from Füllkrug, after he received a through pass from N.Schlotterbeck. The home side took advantage of the first half and was able to secure a goal to prove to their visitors that they are the host.

On the other hand, PSG did not really played as expected, because they were unable to get any shot on target that did not tell good about their performance. Dortmund was able to get 4 shots on target which one was a goal. I hope that PSG will be able to come up with a better performance than this in the second half, if not they might go home defeated.
615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 01, 2024, 04:48:39 PM
Real Madrid did not play too well in this match and their coach Ancelotti frankly talked about it in a press conference after the match. The key point in this match is Kim Min Jae and Vinicius Jr. The defender made mistakes that lead to a penalty for Real Madrid and Vinicius scored a second goal for Real Madrid.

They are probably more relaxed now, because although mathematically they haven't won the league yet, the distance over Barcelona with only 5 games to go is very comfortable, because they just need not to fuck up to win it. This next match day they could already be proclaimed champions.
i'm confused by the strategy that Ancelotti used when facing Bayern, he put Bellingham as a wing attacker, while when facing Sociedad some time ago, Bellingham was not played.  In fact, i prefer Madrid's performance against Sociedad rather than against Bayern.  This season's UCL seems to be going very hard for Madrid, even though Madrid are the strongest in La Liga. 

Meanwhile in La Liga, Madrid's performance is very impressive, the La Liga title is in sight.
I think it is an advantage not to be defeated on the road. Real Madrid will win in Spain. Even if they cannot win, they can draw and take the match to penalties. Jude Bellingham needs to work extra hard for the rematch. He was very ineffective in this match. Bayern was ahead 2-1 and they could not maintain this advantage.
When playing with different clubs, you can use different strategies based on the club's strength and how in form they are at that moment. Using Bellingham in Real Sociedad match that way, is because he already knows that is where Bellingham can play better, but Ancelloti decided to use him as a winger against Bayern, to test a new potential in him to see if he would become a good winger, but it was clear that Bellingham was unable to perform the role he played as a winger. This is why I don't think that Ancelloti will use him as a winger anymore.

Ancelloti is a high tech coach and he can convert a defender to a striker and vice-versa. You can see how he is using Bellingham, and he is scoring goals, even when he is not a striker. So I believe that there was something new he is trying to see if it will work for him as a new strategy. Personally, I will say that Ancelloti knows what he is doing and should be allowed to try something new.
616  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF Responsible for Recent Bear on: May 01, 2024, 03:55:34 PM
The price correction is a norm when it comes to bitcoin price movement, especially now that the halving event is over. I believe that what happened in 2017, is what we are seeing here, when after the halving, the price of bitcoin dips before it pumps again.

Hong Kong bitcoin ETF approval is not the cause but just nature taking place with the way bitcoin was designed to be volatile. The current dip should be an advantage for us to buy more Bitcoin and stop worrying about what caused the dump, because in bitcoin when there is a pump or dump people relates it to an event that is happening or that just occurred, which is not true in most cases. The dump is to help the price of bitcoin go higher than the highest price which we saw as 73k before the halving.

OP, you only told us about your wins on two days, so I would like to know the results of the other days that you didn't mention, or is these two days your first try, and you haven't tried it again. It might work for you at the first time, does not mean that it is a good strategy that can always give you wins.

You talked about using this strategy in football, when the game is in the second half, have you forgotten that recently, the teams that are always on the lead in the first half, sometimes loses the gmatch in the complete 90 minutes due to substitution of players and the team losing can take advantage of the second half to play better than the did in the second half.

Gambling is a game of luck, and whatever strategy that we implement that works for us, is based on luck and not our strategy of understanding how the game works or coming up with any trick of winning.
618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 01, 2024, 02:38:25 PM
Bayern Munich failed to beat Real Madrid at home.Real Madrid managed to take the lead in the first half with a goal from Vinicius. Bayern Munich started the second half fast and managed to score 2 goals in 12 minutes.Bayern, who took the lead with the goals they found with Sane and Kane, could not keep the score and the situation was equalized again with Vinicius' goal from the penalty.In the match where both sides played a good game, the winner of the round will be determined in Real Madrid's field.
The result is a good one for Real Madrid, and will I say a bad one for Bayern Munich. Perhaps, the winner is still open to both clubs on a level ground, because if Bayern Munich can play without being intimidated in Spain, they can win the game or settle for a penalty shootout.

However, how don't know how possible it will be for Bayern Munich to win away from home, when it is the second leg, the chance of that happening is very slim, because Real Madrid are fierce and desperate when it comes to games like this, and being played at home. From the game play yesterday, both teams will have a tough fight in the second leg.

We are in bitcoin forum and every information on bitcoin and technology is being discussed here. Price speculations and how to go about your bitcoin investment is also being discussed, so I don't see why anyone here in this forum will start making too much research on bitcoin, when he already have the basic knowledge of bitcoin. It is people who thinks that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, that will be carried away by FOMO and jump into investing without knowing how bitcoin works.

Anyone that is ready to invest in bitcoin, as long you are active in this forum, it is easy as you can invest in bitcoin and continue learning more about bitcoin, you must not know everything first before you start up your investment because time waits for no one, and it is impossible for you to learn everything on bitcoin in one year, because bitcoin is complex and there are new developments in the network frequently.

What I will say is that make a proper calculation on your income, and use the amount of discretionary income that you have to buy bitcoin, regular either weekly or monthly with DCA method, amd learn at the same time on bitcoin here in the forum. Investment should be a personal decision , and not because others are doing it.

Im gonna wait for thursday games and to see how Rome make a good game against Leverkusen and maybe can make a good noise, and take some win, take care of this, Rome can beat Leverkusen.
I appreciate your optimism regarding As Roma in this match, maybe it could happen if the goddess of luck sides with As Roma in this match, however, in my opinion, in the few times I have seen As Roma play in the Domestic League, it seems that they always have difficulty in several matches that As Roma plays in  Serie A, does not intend to bring down or underestimate the game and compare it with Leverkusen, on the other hand we both know that Leverkusen's strength is very strong, they have not experienced defeat in the Domestic League and the game that Leverkusen played was very beautiful and almost perfect, even though they came as guests at  the first leg is not likely enough that As Roma will be able to overthrow Leverkusen easily, it is very clear that the games played by As Roma and Leverkusen are very different from their visitors, so As Roma will most likely experience a narrow defeat at home or worse, they will experience defeat with a score  big.
Defeating Leverkusen is something that I cannot say anything on, amd I still doubt if it will bepossie that it is Roma, De Rossi sqaud that will be able to break Leverkusen unbeaten record after all this long period of time.

This is why I think that Roma might end up drawing the game of Leverkusen winning the match. I am not underestimating Roma, but I must talk based on facts on ground. Roma current form is not in its best, and that might affect their performance in the match against Leverkusen, while Leverkusen is in their best form.
