Brazilian superstar Anthony was temporarily banned from Manchester United for physically abusing his girlfriend. Today when I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed, a news flashed in front of me that the allegations made against Anthony were completely false. Since the allegations made against him have been proven false, the police have allowed him to return to the field and there should be no further obstacles to his return to the field, and the Brazilian star will be able to enter Manchester United's field from the next match.

I posted just to be sure because newsfeeds often contain false news
There was already a news going round  confirmed by Man Utd that he is returning to training thus I think all the allegation labelled against him doesn't hold water and this is the best time he returns the club  to assist the  underperforming club atleast his selection into the first team would make a difference in their attack, recall Erik ten Hag is under pressure due to the team poor run so far both in EPL and UCL and part of the team problem is that their final third hasn't been scoring goals Højlund and Rashford the major culprits had miss scoring opportunities probably the arrival of Antony would make their attack more formidable and with more options for the manager.

Among young people is a result of the availability of gambling alternatives, such as sports betting and online gambling. Gambling disorders can have long-term effects on a person's ability to complete their education and choose their future, and young individuals may be particularly susceptible to acquiring these illnesses
You are even talking about gamblers who are still schooling? In third world countries where the rate of graduate employment is high majority of them had resorted to gambling to escape poverty and to make end met most especially soccer fans of foreign clubs like EPL and Laliga who passionately support their teams and are utilizing that opportunity to bet on their team, there are only few of students who gamble anonymously because the recommended age for gambling is 18+, in as much as they gamble responsibly and meeting up with their financial need then there is no gambling disorder that would affect them except if they choose to become a gambling addict that is where a problem will come in.

Manchester City is a team that can bounce back after losing a few matches. However, Manchester City's performance this season has slightly declined from last season. One of the reasons for this could be Kevin DeBruiner's injury.
I totally understand the reasons behind Manchestet City defeats, the absence of Pep Guardiola and other important players sustained injuries, perhaps they will bounce back to streak and consistent performance. Gary O'Neil defeats glorious Manchester City at Molineux Stadium. It was one of the shocking defeats this weekend. Manchester city lost to Wolves after pulling an outstanding display on the pitch, absolutely Wolves really came fully prepared for the visitors. Another points earned by Wolverhampton today, climbing to 13th position on the EPL table.
It's quite incredible that Man City would lose to an underperforming Wolves even with injury to some of their key players, I believe the club was strengthened enough to win that match comfortably unfortunately lost the game consequently their league unbeaten run came to an end today after suffering another defeat mid-week with another tough match against an in-form Arsenal next weekend Man City is in for another big challenge. In another match Man Utd continue with their miserable performance under Erik ten Hag after suffering another embarrassing defeat against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford with this defeat their manager might face a possible sack if the team losing streak continue in their subsequent matches.

I like the point that you are emphasising here and it is true that if we are ready to invest in the DCA way, especially if we have started it, then I think there is no specific reason to look at how vulnerable the price is because consistency must be maintained.
The problem that often happens is when we're already working on DCA and we get bogged down with the thought of price, which in the end will make our strategy fall apart in the end.
My initial period in 2002 was like this because I was dizzy with my thinking that was based on price but over time that became the main problem I had because when I was based more on price we would be dizzy so I tried to learn from the beginning and indeed for now it can be said that my method is much better than before with DCA which should not be too concerned about price.
If you continue to worry about the price in your DCA method then this will hinder you, it could be that you keep thinking about the price that has started to rise while still hesitating to continue? I think this thought must be eliminated at least whatever the price is if it's the DCA method then just do it.

This was my initial problem too when I started it was really hard when I kept seeing price movements, if you keep thinking about this then investing in the DCA way will not develop but you will be reluctant to continue because you keep seeing prices.
If the goal of DCA is long-term, there is no need to worry about it, it should be a habit for us that there is no stopping to continue DCA.

I don't know how everyone is DCA, but what I'm doing is I will DCA if the price drops more, but this is not often because I don't always have the money available every time the market drops more. The second method that I am using more often is that I will buy bitcoin at the beginning of the month every time I receive my salary. After I have deducted all necessary living expenses for that month, I will buy Bitcoin with the remaining money regardless of what price it is trading for. Because my sell target is still the new ATH, as long as the price remains below my sell target, I will buy without worrying about the price. Furthermore, bitcoin is unpredictable, waiting for a cheaper price to buy may not be successful.

You are right, once we have used the DCA method but still think about price it will greatly affect our investment.
Personally I think a little knowledge in candlestick patterns would help in the long run if a trader or investor adopt DCA method in a buying low and accumulating Bitcoin from my own observation and knowledge whenever I look at my BTCUSD daily chart and observe an exhausted candlestick which initially intended to go up (Bullish) but reverses and trended bearishly leaving behind a long tail or wick meaning sellers had dominated the market that is green light for me to start a DCA approach of course having taken into consideration the high volatility of the price of Bitcoin which means price drop would be massive thus buying and accumulating bit by bit will be triggered, of course the unpredictable nature of the price needed to be considered when adopting DCA method because at times the dump might end abruptly and bullish market sentiment is triggered in another scenario the dumping might linger on.

Today I want to take a deep dive into gambling and how negatively it has impacted our society;

Growing up into a man I got used to gambling believing it will change my current financial status, which I was wrong, it was quite the opposite, not that am not seeing money, I was but I was too fix in making it through it.

When I finally quit the addiction, I realized that I was doing better than I even thought,

Fast forward to yesterday when I go into a betting shop to see someone, I was shock to see some of my guys in the neighborhood which I knew they where doing well, now looking wreshed an tattered.

One one thing I have noticed about gambling is that before you win a thousand box, they might have milk you of more than that.
[I just want to use this medium to appeal to the younger generation, please stay off gambling, if you must do so, gamble responsible, don't take it as your only source of living so it wouldn't milk you dry.
My personal watch word is "Gamble responsibly" thus I won't be engrossed to gambling such that I would get addicted and consequently getting rekt and bankrupt, therefore wayout of avoiding addiction is to gamble with the amount of money I can afford to lose that is exactly what I had been doing, those examples mentioned by the OP are addicted gamblers who in most cases staked all their funds into gambling and lost their hard earned money and yet wouldn't quit after they incurred several losses the end result would be catastrophic that was exactly what happened to your guys and I hope this serve as a lesson for intending gamblers.

The biggest match of today to me is that of Tottenham playing host to Liverpool, Tottenham is in the 4th place, and Liverpool is in second place in the Premier League table. Both teams have not lost any of their games so far this tournament and what is likely to happen in today's game will be a continuous keeping of the unbeaten record by both teams if they lock horns or a break of the record by either team and that's gonna make it a very interesting match to watch.

Considering a choice of team to win, I kind of get confused about picking a favorite team here as both teams' performances have been quite good lately.
Tottenham and Liverpool are in very promising condition to compete with each other for full points. So in this match it will be quite difficult to guess who will really be superior even though Tottenham no longer has Harry Kane, but the current composition is no less interesting. Liverpool has certainly recovered from last season's less profitable season. As far as I can see the difference in strength is quite small, maybe Liverpool needs to maximize in the first half to steal points early before Tottenham can control the game.
Both Liverpool and Tottenham are equal to the task thus the match is very dicey that is either of the team can win the match coincidentally both team remain unbeaten since the beging of the league probably the run could be broken today else the two team would play a draw, both team has their own game plan it's not only a case of Liverpool taking up the opportunity to seal the win the first half because Tottenham can also utilize their own chances remember Son who would spearhead Tottenham attack has been in a terrific form as well as consistently scoring goals if the opportunity open up he would definitely score a goal or goals against Liverpool today so also Nunez and Salah too are Liverpool dangerous attackers.

Leave that alone. There's nothing to gain if you interact with it and there's a chance that you can get hacked if you are unlucky enough. Don't be blinded by tokens that has a fake value that appears on your wallet, most of the time those are scam tokens. I had these useless tokens that were sent to me by random people, I abandoned my old wallet before that has so many useless tokens including those shitcoins that I didn't intend to be stuck on my wallet for years of using it. Better be safe than sorry.
its really confusing dealing with these scam token in general, if we try to get rid of it we might get hacked, and if we just keep it there untouched it will become eyesore, alas thats just how it is with cryptocurrencies.
too many scam tokens created and quite literally infestating like a parasite in our wallet but there's nothing we can do.
I think it's better to be safe as an eyesore in the wallet rather than taking the risk of getting rid of them which could lead to a hack, personally I have plenty of those worthless tokens in my ERC myetherwallet such I was even thinking of abandoning the wallet unfortunately nothing can be done to dispose them off I believe wallet makers should establish or create an easier means of getting rid of them without any harm to the wallet or better still create a spam folder where those worthless spam tokens can be transferred to without being visible with the real tokens.

After suffering a defeat in the League Cup, Mnchester City will travel to Wolves headquarters for a week 7 match. In the English premier league, they are the only club that has managed to wipe out all the wins, with the opponents they will face at this time, their chances of continuing the winning streak in the Premier League are wide open. Wolves fc themselves are in a state of experiencing a series of negative results, and the 6 matches they have played they can only collect 4 points from 1 win and 1 draw, while 4 other matches ended in defeat.

Fulham vs Chelsea, will be a different story, to be honest I am skeptical of Chelsea and I don't know what Chelsea will be able to do in this match. Fulham will be the hosts, and that is an advantage for them in this match.
Definitely Man City winning streak would continue against a weak Wolves whose performance had been very woeful gone are days when Wolves used to cause some problems for Man City in EPL match unfortunately they club had been struggling with form lately 4 defeats and 1 win is absolutely a bad result infact a defeat against Man City might likely pushed them to the relegation zone if any of the three clubs presently occupying the zone manage to secure a crucial win against their opponents, though Man City is yet to play any top team yet so their winning run would definitely be extended, meanwhile Chelsea has another chance against Fulham to redeem their image having been very poor at home I believe this is the right time to start winning their matches
609  Economy / Economics / Re: Is academic pursues enough to get incomes? on: September 29, 2023, 05:58:23 AM
I really want know if getting more degrees can make life financially better because I come from a country where their are no job and I have seen people that the only thing they can do in life is to read books, getting more degrees attaining all these degrees yet no still go job for them with good pay. Do think people who read in a region with slim job opportunities are doing the right thing?

Most people who go for more degrees believe they can get better job at the end of the day. People that only go for more degrees in a stare with high unemployment rate are they doing right thing by putting all their focus on academic because this is the only thing they can do best.
Those who pursue more more degrees only do so to brighten their chances of getting employed in the midst of the growing unemployment in your country, however academic is not the only pathway to get income there are non academic who are into business and are earning decent profits, Moreso as an educated individual there are other means of earning apart from relying sourcing for unavailable jobs, graduates can sought for self acquisition to be self employed trading is a very good alternative source of income if those unemployed graduates would endeavors to learn the skills and there are also self taught skills like graphic design, content writing etc which can serve as source of income as a free lancer.

Yes, the main problem is on the coach and Chelsea management. They decide to buy which players, it is their responsibility if they bring the wrong players on the squad. I still don't understand why Chelsea decided to hire Mauricio Pochettino. There is no something special with this coach, he is not the coach who has many good records. He only won the titles with PSG, it is easy because PSG is too superior in Ligue 1. But when he managed Tottenham and Southampton, he failed to win any title.

I think Chelsea needs to hire a new coach who can build a team with better players. I'm not sure Chelsea can build a strong team/squad with Pochettino.



What made Chelsea recruit Pocchettino was because Pochettino is a typical coach who can accept the composition of the existing squad. Chelsea have spent more than 600 million pounds on players in the last two transfer windows. I think Chelsea needs a coach who can not spend a lot of money buying more players. But still this is a big gamble for Chelsea management because if this gamble fails and Chelsea doesn't qualify for any European competition next season, I think the fans will be really angry about this.
I think there is instant expectation from both the fans and management of Chelsea from Pochettino personally I think this manager needed some time to rebuild the team I watched some of their matches there aren't playing badly and the fact that the squad comprised of young players is another advantage because in one or two more seasons the team would be formidable enough to make vie for Title and other trophies just like when Arteta was newly appointed as Arsenal manager it took him some period of tme to rebuild and reposition the club, I urge Chelsea fans and their management to exercise some patience with Pochettino so as to enable him continue the job on the team.

Chelsea 1 - 0 Brighton
Jackson has a goal now but let's see if they can win this game.
The match was very interesting  though at first I never new Chelsea will won the match considering how inform Brighton is but that's the game of football you hardly predict what the outcome will be, I can see that Chelsea team is slowly coming back let's see how there next will look like

Chelsea finally won against someone and against Brighton that is better and better each season. Maybe with this win Chelsea will wake up finally in the premier league and start making good results. Was expecting that Brighton wins against Chelsea but it looks like Brighton is only good in the premier league.
Chelsea fan would be very excited on their win against Brighton that win would ease the pressure on Pochettino and boost the confidence of the squad as they prepare to take on Fulham in an away match on Monday, I watched many previous Chelsea matches and it's quite unfortunate that they are very unlucky in most of those matches partly due to poor finishing by their attackers and wasteful in front of goal, though I still commend the team because majority of their first team players are very young players with a promising future if well managed in few seasons to come that team would be very formidable and a team to beat.

Is it the game you started playing as a gambler that you still play till now? Is there any gambler in this place who was used to playing a particular game before but never was successful winning or did not win enough and then made up their mind that it was time for a change in the game you gamble on. Which game did you change from, and what did you change to? how long did you play the game that you are deciding to stop playing because of the bad outcomes?
I gambled with soccer betting that is the game I am very familiar with and my preferred choice in betting because I was a former player as well as watch the game week in week out thus it becomes very easy to choose a particular type of bet related to soccer betting, therefore I had sticked with it for many years and I am not ready to change to other form of gambling which won't guaranteed a regular winning streak, the fact that there are different aspect of soccer betting which can provide income is another added advantage which won't prompt me switch over to another game, there is both team to score, over and under, correct score, etc.
613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is gambling all about luck? on: September 28, 2023, 03:46:38 PM
In my opinion making cash from gambling is not a good option and the statistical probability that you will win every game at every casino is very low. I think winning or losing every game is completely in your head, so your individual tricks are not there. However, we all have some kind of luck so we should strive for what is possible for us.
Gambling is definitely both luck and effort made by the gambler there is no sure bet in any gambling  everything has to do win luck even in a game of soccer where the chances of strong team winning a weak team is not always guaranteed because there bound to be upset in some cases of course there are instances where the weak team defeated the strong team, however with diligent analysis in picking some potential winning bets couple with luck the chances of winning a bet is 90% though better than blindly placing a bet whose chances of winning is 50:50.
614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 27, 2023, 07:54:22 PM
Both teams are in good shape at the moment, and this season Liverpool has become better than ever, and they have a winning record until week 6, yes they can record 5 wins from 6 matches. Tottenham are also the same, only the difference is they drew in their last match against Arsenal. In my opinion, the chance for the two clubs to end the match with a draw score is very large, and maybe it will really happen.
Another advantage of Tottenham is that they will play with home status, and they certainly don't want to be humiliated in front of their own supporters.
Tottenham and Liverpool  will play soon. These team's players are in form. But Liverpool has historical advantage.Tottenham against Arsenal, played very well and took important points. Both teams played well in last six matches, and  displayed good impression on fans. 15 -15 was a good goals. Liverpool may be favouritr for bookmakers. Competition is strong between these two teams. Tottenham is ready for the season.
Either of the team can win the match though Tottenham playing at home in White Hart Lane might give the home side a slight advantage, however EPL has no home or away advantage the best team will always win a match, it's going to be a very competitive and exciting match, Tottenham still basking in the euphoria of playing a draw against Arsenal at the Emirate last weekend a ground they usually beaten would play Liverpool match in high spirit with utmost seriousness in a bid to consolidate their top 4 position on the league, it obvious both teams are in-inform as well as unbeaten thus both team would try to keep their
unbeaten  records.

So many surprising results in this week.

1. Arsenal play really awful, honestly Tottenham able to beat Arsenal, but Romero make many stupid moves which cause Arsenal can scored 2 goals. I think he should play as defensive midfielder, just like John Stones in Manchester City.

2. Newcastle scored 8 goals against Sheffield United.

3. Chelsea is still losing against weak club.

4. Liverpool beat West Ham which one of black horse in this season.
Arsenal had the opportunity of finishing the game in the first half unfortunately they missed their scoring chances the duo of Nketiah and Gabriel Jesus squandered those chances thereafter Tottenham regain their momentum and came back into the game with a brilliant performance , there isn't any need to blame Romero for the team costly mistakes it can happen to any player just like Jorginho was also dispossessed with the ball which lead to Tottenham second goal that is another costly mistake by Arsenal player.
I hope Newcastle thrashing of Sheffield United by 8-0 mark their resurgence in the league having been inconsistent so far their previous matchesLiverpool is definitely had up their game would be a title contender if they remain consistent every week.
Chelsea continue with their miserable performance in the league I think after some poor results Pochettino might be sacked just like his predecessors.

everyone on twitter, insta reel and youtube is making prediction related to different cryptos based on chart lines. Do you still believe these chart reading?
As an experience trader you should be able to read and view those charts to verify whether those chart analysis are correct or not of course that those predictions is not a guarantee the analysis are profitable, however having a clue after reading the chart can help to determine the likely direction of the market therefore I wouldn't believe in any charting analysis or prediction posted on twitter or YouTube except those analysis that I can verify myself and in line with my own analysis and trading strategy, so it becomes necessary not to just adopt any prediction blindly on social media to avoid incurring inevitable losses in trading.
619  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How do you feel when you look at your first Bitcoin wallet? on: September 24, 2023, 03:37:36 PM
My journey into Bitcoin was entire due to the need to send payment across borders as there was FX and several other restrictions in my country. So, I joined Bitcoin just to use it for cross-border payment without knowing it could actually be a way of creating wealth in the future.

Just recently, I was tempted to check my first ever Bitcoin wallet to see what I have done in the past. I was so depressed seeing the volume of Bitcoin that have passed through my wallet without me saving a reasonable portion of it.

I have the feeling that many forum users too have similar experience; do kindly share just maybe I can feel a little better knowing that I'm not a lone.

Honestly after going through my Blockchain wallet which was my first ever wallet used for receivng, accumulating and subsequently selling almost all the Bitcoin due to some expenses needed in those days I do close the wallet immediately to avoid getting worried and blaming myself for the sell of the coin infact those period when it price was still very low, infact it's an experience I don't really like to recount, I had already switched over to another wallet just to avoid checking the past history of my former wallet, though the sold coins was exchanged to fiat and expended on a project which is a physical asset thus I have a little regret for selling my coin.

This is a very exciting match, both Arsenal and Tottenham were equally determined to win. Mutual buying and selling attacks have occurred up to this moment. Even though Arsenal is playing at home, I think Tottenham dominates the match with ball possession of 60%. My guess is that the match will end with a draw.
This quick reply from Son was purely Arsenal's fault because they were not too focused when facing the fast attack which was carried out after the match started 1 minute after Saka's penalty goal.
But this match is really worth watching and both teams don't seem to want to give up in the big match this time.
Tottenham were actually better in possession of the ball but for quick counter attacks Arsenal were really quite good, it's just that I didn't expect this score because I expected Arsenal to win this match.
Extra time will soon end and it looks like my bet will have to lose in this match but I am happy with Liverpool and Brighton's victory which can make up for my loss in this match.
Kudos to both teams for living up expectation in the highly competitive and thrilling match which was indeed synonymous with every derby match, Tottenham capitalized on the error committed by Jorginho after he was dispossessed with the ball for Son to score the equalizer to make it 2-2, it's good both team played a draw match and both team remained unbeaten this season, however dropping two point each by both team allowed Man City to extend their lead to four points on the table, meanwhile in the other match Chelsea was beaten by a lone goal at Stanford Bridge bringing another disastrous performance for the home side who missed plenty goal scoring chances unfortunately got punished after losing one of their player who was redcarded.
