Having to sell an assert to invest in some other capital intensive investment isn’t such a bad choice and isn’t the best choice either as, asserts are something worth having to stick around for a long while except, it’s a type that isn’t adding any value to itself then, it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to monetize it to invest its funds in something that could have more value in time.

This is entirely different from having to take investment loans. Loans simply carry a pay back policy and in most cases, it’s got a period to it and attracts profit. Loans means a third party and with that comes some sort of pressure that requires you to at all times, make the right decision. Anything outside what is the right decision would mean, your steps away from not fulfilling your loan promises and can end badly for you and the investment.

Now that’s a whole lot of pressure and being pressured alone don’t put you in a very good spot for making good decisions.

He'll probably miss 3 of them - Bournemouth, Chelsea and Arsenal.

That's a lot of points you're leaving on the table. I know I'll transfer him out for sure after the Newcastle game.
Something I sure didn’t consider until now that you’ve laid it bare. Surely I’ll be looking to get him out to enable him help bankroll my bringing E. Haaland in. It’s not a probable course but something that is bound to be the case with home being the captain of his Egyptian side.

there is not much value in players valued 8M+ compared to players valued at 6M+, if you choose right
Apparently but, I’ve got a couple of choices I’ve been looking at for my midfield, one of those was Gordon which I’ve got and Hee Chan of Wolves @ just $5.8 which remains in view. Perhaps the Salah weeks out could provide the vacuum for him to come in but all that depends on if there is about enough to get Haaland and himself. I think Hee Chan is doing okay for his price.

That's my issue with Salah. I'll probably sell him when he goes to AFCON and I'll have a problem when I'll want to rebuy him again.
Should you happen to execute that plan, I feel it would be a bad idea. Salah has been phenomenal all season, probably the most informed player at his level right now and haven’t had a probable course to not have him.

Haaland's out of my team, now I wait for the news that he's actually fit to play vs CP. Anyway, I still prefer Watkins over the next few games.
Feels weird to have almost 6 mil in the bank, but that's the only way if you want Haaland back.
It almost seem as though, we approach our team management in same way and are affected by it as well. Can’t believe I just got Taylor in from Aston Villa to fill in for Gusto who has been ruled out for the rest of the year, still looking out how to gradually manage my free transfer to get a credible bankroll such as yours to enable me get back Haaland but, it appears I’ll be a week behind again as Taylor just got suspend till 23rd, still looking if it would be a best idea to sell him.
Branthwaite and Trippier are facing same suspension issues till 23rd. Like, what’s become of my defense! Only Pedro Porro happens to be left. I might have to see this one out with the FPL, maybe they would give me Solanke, lol…

For my state something happen wey lead to stopping of Keke driving in the night and no much taxi,,buses so now the rate of transport fare at night no be here..where you go pay 150 normally for day time,,,now na 300 because say the few driver's wey dey available don see so many passengers on the road so now them don see opportunity to bill people anyhow they like without considering say this one na my fellow human being...all their own if you like you enter...if you like stay...
I Dey familiar with this situation from a time and it’s not only when these no movement within a time range Dey imposed, even when it rains in the evenings and people are in a hurry to get home, you will find drivers monetizing the situation with a demand and supply scale.
If na the curfew situation, I no go too blame the transport agents because, both themselves and you are breaking a law to be out in times where you’ve been remanded to be indoors as a form of regulation. In the events that your found outside, the transport agent is likely to be more punished than you the passengers. In most cases, these passengers will just leave the driver to carry his/her cross.

In the case where e Dey due to the weather, Omo, the focus should be in the number of turns you can do but no, these guys no Dey reason that one. Na less turns and more profit be their focus thereby, allowing the population to suffer through exploitation. Na there the thing spoil. The funny truth be say, what goes around comes around.

I think most of us are having the fear of missing out “bug” at this point in time.  I often have this feeling when Bitcoin is on a ride, but right now it’s very obvious that Bitcoin is on its way to an even bigger breakout than what we’ve seen so far, especially since the announcement of the first Bitcoin ETF hasn’t even been approved yet. When it does, watch out. Stack on !
I don’t very much like to attribute the success of Bitcoin lately to be ETF motivated as, this is even coming to be in times close to the halving. For the most, the ETFs is motivated by the halving as by some means to take advantage of the history it’s known to carry and next halving wouldn’t be any different.
The more reason why, individual and corporate investors should take out their chances now that they have it and stop expecting the coin to drop further. It’s the easiest way to miss out as you really can’t predicted where or how far that little dump would be to provide that buying opportunity rather, you DCA and wait on the halving to come and go before you decide on what phase your Bitcoin investment is going to take.

Even though it seemed difficult to win, in the end, Manchester City managed to win the match against Luton Town. In several previous matches, Manchester City seemed to have never won and only had a draw. At least Manchester City remained in the top five at the top of the standings. Hopefully, Pep Guardiola will find strategies that suit the players' skills so that when they compete on the field, they will have another chance of winning.
When you look at the top quality of Manchester City, it isn’t a team that you would expect to have any difficulty in winning a game against a team at the relegation zone like Luton Town. Pep didn’t get to bring his best squad but still, he managed to archive his goals of 3 points from this game, just something to keep him in the top 4. Although, I could agree that Manchester City has played badly of late and they felt robbed when they faced Spurs.

One team that I don’t understand though is Chelsea. Their inconsistency has left just about any team to come believing that, they could get points from Chelsea and they actually do. Just take a look at Everton, beating Chelsea to a 2 goals to nothing (0), that was something no one would see coming. Chelsea could be so unpredictable as, they could be better in games where you hoped for the worst and flop in a game they ought to be getting points.

Son masterclass today, I am sure some of those that were saying he can't play without Maddison are now a bit afraid for their ranks without him in the team. Newcastle defense on minus points to make it a bit more challenging Smiley
Tottenham where just over whelming for Newcastle today, they handled the game with so much pressure, always up and about the Newcastle box and Son seemed at the top of his performance, two assist and a goal, that’s just top class and that’s what he could do on a very good day.
It’s not impractical to have those thoughts of a depleted performance and team without Maddison in the squad but then, we ought to realize as well how Son picked up the scoring challenge with H. Kane gone, his that good and proved his worth yet again today.

GW 16 1 mBTC free bet winner is Smartvirus. Congrats man, very nice week. Won for you by your faith in Fulham keeper Leno Smiley
Congratulations @smartvirus
Congratulations Smartvirus. To garner such points in a crazy week such as this one says a lot about the resilience of his team.
Thanks guys, I only realized just how far I came in the Spurs fixtures. The focus has always been to gain more points as I’m still playing catch up with the top Ten. Can’t say I felt very fulfilled though, I really hoped Spurs could keep their clean sheet so I could gain 4 points of Pedro Porro and some bonus but, Joelinton wouldn’t let me have it.

It’s such a hard week for those that captained Haaland, Pep got you guys yet again!

I can't say if Arteta absent was the reason why arsenal lose the match but checking at the performance of Aston Villa they did well for the week in premier league game , Aston Villa was able to defeat Manchester City with one gaol and when they met arsenal too during the weekend they defeated arsenal.
From the way they played, it seemed like it and you could see just how helpless he was not being able to give directives to his boys. Aston Villa having to hold an early one goal down to the final whistle against a team like Arsenal, it’s something you wouldn’t have expected to happen but, they made it a reality.
I think if Arteta was on that touch line, things would have turned out differently from the directives he will put in the game and the angle he would have viewed it from to get a better perspective of what changes the game would have needed.

Spurs today made Newcastle not seem like a team that was together. Don’t just know how Joelinton managed to get that one consolation goal but, it was just Spurs having to run down the Newcastle United defense over and over again. They were under so much threat all game.
650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: BTC sent by mistake to localbitcoins wallet. How to recover? on: December 09, 2023, 05:36:29 PM
The Local Bitcoin refused to return  my founds stating that they warned not to send any btc and that we they do not do any incoming transactions reinbursments.

 Also after my further inquiry, Local Bitcoin staff informed me that they do not provide private keys to users since Local Bitcoin is a  web-wallet .
 It seems that my sincere and honest explanation  that the transfer was done by mistake had no effect on the final Local Bitcoin negative decision. What can be done more in this situation? Can I count on Local Bitcoins reputation ? Anyone can help?
The whole Bitcoin system is one that doesn’t dwell on flaws. Have the case with the miners and you might have a well different result if you’re lucky and that is. In cases where you accidentally paid more fees than reasonably possible on a transaction.

In this case, there isn’t much you could do rather than hope for the support to see reasons as to why they should refund or credit your Bitcoins. It’s your Bitcoin and they’ve got no right over it but as well, they’ve got rights not to credit it as previously informed of the expiry of the address.

That brings me to a situation I found myself in earlier this year where, due to maintenance, all previous addresses used by the exchange I was using was deemed expired as the exchanged was handling some bugs in there system.
I made same mistake like you did but mine was within hours before the announcement and it seemed actions were taken before the announcement. I reached out to support as, Bitcoin addresses can’t possibly be expired so long as you’ve hit keys to it.
The situations could be, events of discovering a potential hack and trying to evade adverse effects that might result in having its users find’s tampered with.
Bottom line was, I had my coins founded later, after about a week.

Your best chance would be to still seek them out and hopefully, they might just be nice to you if they want to.

Real Betis are really making good use of the home advantage and holding Real Madrid back, but can they do that throughout the match? I feel more goals will be scored in this match but not sure which team will add more goals. We are just 17th minute away to the full time, we await to see the final outcome of the game.
It was a good match for the spectators and Real Betis put so much to get this result which was very much deserve, a good one point for them against such a strong side like Real Madrid. The goal from Ruibal was an awesome one, long ranged and taken with such great technique.
Rodrygo did the most in having to move the ball forward, dribbling through the defense to find the right pass but again, I have to command Isco for using all he knows from Real Madrid against them today, coming up to break the ball right before the build up. He was really close to giving Real Betis the win with that last header but, it came off the cross bar.
Depending on the results tomorrow for Girona tomorrow, they might as well see Real Madrid off the top of the table but, I don’t see them beating Barcelona from a home side. Barcelona would by all wins look to get some points of them to creep a bit closer.

It's a bit strange, but this is truly an unreasonable reality. This is the best joke from Manchester United.
The joke isn’t on Manchester United, the joke is on Chelsea. It shows you, just how much a little bit of coordination on the part of Chelsea could have changed the result of that fixture.

Just now, it could have been a Manchester 0:4 Bournemouth in a twist of events that rolled from a pressured pass of Amrabat to Maguire who didn’t get much control of the ball and lost it to Quattara but, the goal was cancelled by VAR due to a handling of the ball situation. I do think that goal should have stood, with the fact that, he had lost his balance and the ball came off his chest before it hit the hand and he eventually scored.

A very disappointing game for Manchester United, beaten at a home side and they couldn’t even get a consolation goal in all that.

Kelleher time in the Liverpool's starting XI didn't last long, I don't think anyone thought Allisson would return this early, I'm definitely shoving him off team with my free transfer for next game week, as Areola is a doubt for this game week already, there is no way I can afford to have a squad with no goal keeper that'd be playing, I just need to wait for the result.
With the sort of performance Allison came up with today and how many times he stepped in the way to produce a good save, your sure his bond to reinstate himself in the goal once more. The last attempt from Crystal Palace in the last minute was very daring, series of set pieces and over again, he keeps the ball out.

Quote
Salah with some healthy points return, a goal and an assist, that surely should come with an extra bonus 3 points, not so bad, I just need Haaland to outscore him tomorrow because of the potential captaincy difference, as some players have Salah as their captain.
Dissent points for sure and I can imagine everyone looking at Haaland’s way now to come up with more goals which is very possible. I mean, City has had it difficult lately, Haaland wasn’t finding the net and now against a team like Luton Town, you would expect Manchester City to out perform and outscore the game by good margins. Possibly, the sort of game where you would expect Haaland to score a hat trick, I hope not. I want to see Salah well above him in points this round.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 09, 2023, 04:36:57 PM
That red card is such unnecessary thing for crystal palace. the club will able to steal there points if the red card would not be happening. Crystal palace has been playing so good during the first half but red card was destroying the rythm of palace.
Im very disappointed to see this result. Palace could do better than it.
The result didn’t speak volume of the entire game. Crystal Palace was all round good down to the moment J. Ayew got the second yellow. To be fair, I think both instances (@First and @Second) cards weren’t deserving.
In the first instance which was an attempt to delay the restart of the game, he wasn’t in obstruction of the kick for way too long. It was that brief and he was out of the way.  In the second instance, yeah, there was a little bit of intent there as he got nothing of the ball but clearly brought down Elliott. The fowl was light but, the judgment here was based on, stopping a potential counter attack and there came the second yellow.

After then, you could feel the over whelming power and pressure of Liverpool. It was just them all game round and you just know, finding that equalizer was around the corner and then, trying to get a winner would be next. Both where archived with ease.

Members, reputable members. Was it better before back then when this forum was without merits or is it better or even much better now with merits? Please explain your answer so users like me can get an idea how it was and what you prefer. Smiley
I can’t give you a perspective on a time when I didn’t exist but, I can as much give you an answer based on what the system was set to archive based on how far it’s gone to achieve that.
The merit system came as a way to boost quality in posts and push for more creative writing in the minds of users.

If you see the merit system to have been able to achieve that, then you can agree that, there is a good chance that the forum is far better now than it would have been before the creation of the merit system. If otherwise, then it’s up to you.

Of course there might be a down side to it but, I think the positive out weighs the negotiable and that’s how you measure it. Hardly anyone who seeks to be creative doesn’t expect a feedback and that means, the system is working.

Other countries might be fired to embrace crypto? Who will force the countries.

Or you meant that some countries will also want to adopt bitcoin? All countries that are bitcoin friendly are part of what are helping the adoption.
This is one news that most AntiBitcoin wouldn’t want to duel on the most as it has some positive effect to the bold move by El-Salvador and to the El-Salvadorans but, with the fact that the goal isn’t fully achieved as, Bitcoin isn’t the sort of investment that you would always want yo take profit on (of course you might but) with the idea that, there is more to profit over the bullruns that one might encounter in the market as time progresses, you would want to hold up a while longer and that’s it.

One good side to help you persist in the system has been, not to center your focus on Bitcoin for survival funds or hope that it be the power to finance your day to day and as a nation, El-Salvador has got more than enough resource outside crypto investments yo enable them make this achievement.

If this be the reason why some nations would be hooked up, I’m not sure but, I feel it should have. Perhaps by some means, to have a good portion of their reserves in Bitcoin.

Nothing i'm afraid... If you don't have an already open lightning channel and you don't have any altcoins you can use, the only "real" sollution is to pay the large fee.
This is just about the most you could do. Apparently, these fees are the one means to sustenance for the bitcoin blockchain, it’s one means in which miners get the little or most they do and in times like this, we just have to bare with the trend. It’s a trend and it does goes out.
You might just pay the fees or perhaps, sort other means outside cryptos or Bitcoin payment. Perhaps you could even buy some altcoins (Stablecoins) preferably and use that to make your transactions. You would still arrive at the same means of paying without having high fees levied on your transaction. Only cause for worry would be the rate at which you would be offered the stablecoin or altcoins for sale. Nothing is real free my friend.
Bitcoin accelerators might be able to help as well.
658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 08, 2023, 05:50:01 PM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger.
It’s not uncommon for gamblers to have a switch in behavior from time to time based on the outcome of their bets.
This is relatively based on certain constraints to the bets. All of which amass from the stake and the level of clarity or dependency that one might have had on the bets.
Situations of a win is always associated with excitement and this isn’t always dependent on the amount involved but, there are levels to excitement that one might experience and it’s radiated to those within your immediate environment.
In cases of a lose; there you find constraints that might determine how angered you must be or just be cool. Most of those are as follows;

1. Minimal stakes: These always comes as you either trying to take chances or just playing for the fun of it and perhaps playing safe. In cases like this, there is nothing you can’t take based on the outcome of the bet and as such, your level to be upset is always minimal and might not be noticed by those within your space.

2. High risk stakes: when you go out of your way to put out some stakes, you establish some sort of dependency on them and in events that these bets don’t play out as predicted, your immediately impacted by the result. I’m cases like this, you might as well transfer the aggression to the people around you.

This is one reason why you have to define your purpose for gambling.

I go for Maddison, he gets injured. Then for Bowen - injured. Mbeumo - yep, injured. Damn you, fantasy.

Chelsea has an easy schedule so Sterling's a really good substitution, but I already have Palmer from Chelsea. 2 players from a cointoss team like that is a big risk.
You’re so sharing in my feelings right now. Since I had to use my wild card, I feel I got together the wrong team from that expenditure. I’m looking at the possibility of a revamp or perhaps get some negative points but, it doesn’t really worth it. All for the sake of bringing in Haaland to boost my frontlines but, seems I’ll have to incur a lot of negatives to get that done.
Somehow, I’ve got Gusto injured for a long time and with him on the bench, it never occurred to me to get him off with my free transfer and still have the slot opened up in a different week. It just hammered on me now with my entire substitute injured. Had to look towards Gordon or Hee Chan for Mbeumo’s replacement.

A coin toss team Chelsea! Well, they are that for sure but then, Sterling is still a great choice, so also is Palmer, they are productive in both Chelsea’s worst and best days.

Not under gardiouls watch will it be recorded that Manchester city failed to qualify for the UCL, the defending champions, I don't care how bad Manchester city is playing currently but I won't agree with you on ruling them out , rhey are definitely going to get back on their feet soonest as they are experiencing what is common with every team.
Nope, that’s not quite possible neither is it even imaginable. I mean, how could someone have the thought, even in the prevailing circumstance of Manchester City not having the sort of quality we know they do have in there games, aren’t winning 3 points and actually losing some games that ordinarily, we might have expected them to win. The idea that, they might not get to qualify for the UCL through the EPL doesn’t seem realistic. Even in Manchester City’s worst days, they are are capable of some surprises and they would come up with it as at when due.
Manchester City remains a viable title contenders and have no question about there UCL qualifier.
