701  Other / Off-topic / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 22, 2024, 07:05:50 PM
Hi community,

When we make a bet and put our money on the line, we may lose money, time, and even some daily tasks that we neglect, and the first goal remains to make a quick profit with the largest possible amount of money, but I do not know why some people consider bets to be more  for fun  and a way to spend time than to win money.

Personally, I would consider it fun when my budget is much greater than my losses or when I gamble with someone else's money, and this is something I would not do if I had no benefit in it.

I think there are those who agree with me and those who do not agree with me, but it remains my personal opinion and it's an opportunity to share it with you on this topic.

So where's the fun when you lose your money?
There is no fun in losing your money, it's heartbreaking but gamblers don't think about their losses, they think about the next possible game that will give them a win, consistency in gambling is the key, and when you get matured in gambling, a lost will be just a normal thing in your gambling lifestyle. If you've won big money through gambling, you wouldn't have this view your having OP. Gambling isn't something you just jump on it today and start winning, you need to develop a thick skin and strong immune system against letting a lost get to you, also develop a gambling strategy that will help you have winning edge whenever you make predictions. If not, you will continue to see gambling from this angle your currently seeing it.

There had been multiple of transparent and reliable cooperative tradingband investment affair services which investors and traders are delightfully bumping in and are doing greatly well in them.

So I needed to know if it's possible to subject in engaging on a corporative crypto investment where you and and some friends or relatives have to contribute and funds to purchase and keep accumulating to their crypto assets holdings?
I'm just thinking about how it can be managed to keep the risk side of privacies on track if possible.
Meanwhile right at the moment, I came across group of persons having such discussion. Maybe one of them who maybe more enlightened about crytop currency might be the one who initiated the idea at a disguise of his selfish interest.

Please let's just be careful with people around us because this can't be possible and must be aware that there are people who fronts in attractions while having selfish mindedness dwelling in them.
The idea is totally wrong, crypto investment encourages individualism and the need to keep your assets a secret. If anybody should even phantom that Idea of having a corporate affairs investment in crypto, it should be between married couples with kids. At that point it can even be seen as couples who wants to grow their financial life by investing in cryptocurrency. For those group of friends that would want to invest corporately, I assure you it will always end up in a bad results, because it will come a point in time everybody would want to go solo.

The rising price of cooking Gas in Nigeria has affected Nigerians Even as many Nigeria homes are now resulting in alternative fuel source. FG have taken various steps to reduce the high cost of cooking gas in Nigeria, it is also important to Note that since cooking gas is imported using The United States Dollars,Same will continue to increase if the Nigeria Naira continue to devalue.
I'm not sure cooking gas is imported, we have natural gas in Nigeria and we have LNNG in bonny Rivers state that processes gas for local use and export some. Most of the power plants in Nigeria are gas turbines and are basically extracted locally.  I believe the rising cost of cooking gas is as result increase in transportation, especially from dealers to suppliers and is basically caused by fuel subsidy removal. How the government intend to fight the rising cost is what i cannot phantom, because will they be fighting the cost of transportation and the multiplier effect of inflation that has affected those of them that are into the business.

As a fast rising digital currency and the number one most cherished and valuable coin people within it's environment has been using it greatly to help spread the max adoption which many people goes into trading, holding or investment. We have to also understand that our device aren't safe while moving with either our phone or laptop.

It all happened yester-night; this happened yesterday night while going back to a place of work with my device as I was leaving something in me keeps telling me to freeze my important apps which includes my Binance app, Okx app, Electrum app and other digital asset app within my device was freezed and removed from my phone menu.

Along the way going a black cap men stopped us and wanting to search us after which they asked to unlock our device and so luckily I already hide my important app as my instinct leads me, but people around me that entered same vehicle(taxi) with me didn't do that and I noticed they have similar app on their iPhone so the policemen called to asked them about the Binance and other apps in their phone when they opened it they started questioning them about the funds inside and how did they manage to raise those funds although those young men weren't able to speak boldly and to defend themselves correctly and that was how they asked us to leave took them to station for further questioning.

As trader or holder is bitcoin legal in your country how environmental friendly bitcoin is over there, this is for those country that are facing difficulty with bitcoin and cryptocurrency at large. While leaving at home it's advisable to set an important app hidden if you think trading bitcoin or having them will lead you to great danger especially within my country where they suspect lots of boys to be internet fraudster.

What i experience last night made me to raised this topic so we can learn to secure our investment or be very mindful while moving with our smartphone at night it's very risky to lose one valuable asset at this point.
Ordinarily it is not safe to keep important applications within your device without hiding them, to avoid onlookers that might just tamper with it when they mistakenly get hold of your device. However for those police personnel's that where checking at the phones of those passengers, I think that's against the law as the inspector General (IG) of police has asked police men on check point to desist from doing that. Bitcoin is not illegal in Nigeria, so those people should be able to defend themselves and talk to the policeman that the asset they have in their wallet are all earned legitimately by them.
705  Economy / Economics / Re: Ignore Financial accountability to your detriment on: March 21, 2024, 05:50:40 PM
If we are interested in making the best use of our earnings and investments, the place of financial accountability can't be overemphasized. It is one of the major reasons why some people will have lots of money in their account this month and the next month you see them struggling with finance.

 When you see a rich man who suddenly becomes poor or an average man who never grew above his current financial state, it's basically because they possibly weren't accountable for the money that was coming into their hands.

Being financially accountable entails that you delegate what your income would be used for and ensure you follow it up to the latter. It is one way that helps you plan well for your future since you can probably work on setting a particular amount out of your income that will probably go into short or long-term investment depending on what you want to achieve.

If you've not figured out how to hold yourself accountable financially, you shouldn't even think about making any real investment because it won't take time before you exhaust all the money in your hand and take your investment immediately. It involves discipline, proper planning, and the ability to stick with your plan. Big firms do it and if you take it seriously, even though your income might be little, the proceeds of the income will amaze you.

If you don't take your financial accountability seriously and want to allow everything to fall into place by chance, you will learn a hard lesson the bad way.

Money is a very powerful tool, if well managed it will spring up to something wonderful, that is why there are lay down rules and procedures to effectively use money. Budgeting is a pivotal instrument for money accountability, it gives you the pathway to spend your money either within weekly or monthly basis, every multinational company you know have a budgeting system so that they don't spend extravagantly, however they still create a space for miscellaneous, so that any expedition that comes up outside the original budget, that expedition will fall under miscellaneous.
706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: March 21, 2024, 12:40:18 PM
In Girona's last game against Gatefe they were not clinical. They had thirteen shots and only three was on target. I also observed that Girona strikers prefer to go for goal even when a simple pass to a teammate will give better chance of getting a goal. I think Michel should find solution to the bluntness of the attack. The club's game will be against the seventh-placed  Real Betis and it is a must-win for them to solidify their hold on the third position.

Girona's performance has indeed declined. it wasn't as consistent and strong as it was at the start of the season. This match was the fifth defeat in the 29 matches that have been played.
Even though the point difference between Bilbao and Atletico Madrid is quite large, if Girona continues to perform like that, they may be moved from the top 4 of the standings.
if they want to keep it, they have to work hard now. finishing in the top 4 will be history for them with a ticket to the European Champions League.
What's happening to Girona is not new to the eyes, it is also similar to what happened to arsenal last season and I don't think anybody should be blamed for it, everything has to do with the mentality and ability of the players and coaching staff. For me I think they have had an amazing season since last year taking the lead for a long period of time putting both Barca and real Madrid and even athletico Madrid on their feet until they lost their place to real Madrid who have now extended their lead on the table.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ? Lega Serie A ?? (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2023/2024? on: March 21, 2024, 12:22:58 PM
Juventus unfortunately did not manage to win this match despite playing at home, Genoa despite not playing very well managed to bring home 1 precious point, Juventus on the other hand played an embarrassing game in my opinion, very nervous and foul players, and the next match will have to do without their best striker Vlahovic due to expulsion, now the gap from Milan becomes 3 points. I wonder why the management still hasn't taken the decision to relieve Allegri from leading Juventus.

yes, but how do you get even with a team in terrible shape in the standings, in twelfth place!!!
at this rate he risks leaving the Champions League zone, not that I care but it should make the team managers ask two questions
Probably Allegri will be sacked.
There are still 9 matches remaining and it is still possible for Juventus to return to second place which is currently occupied by AC Milan with difference of 3 points, this is very small point difference and one mistake made by AC Milan will make Juventus take over its position.
Moreover, in the future Juventus will only face team lower much and of course this is good opportunity for Juventus to finish the season by getting more wins.

Lazio will be the team that meets Juventus in Week 30 and of course we can all see and guess who is the favorite and can win this match to get full points.
I sure that making Juventus the favorite is the right decision because it is clear that they will be able to beat Lazio decisively, after that Juventus will face Lazio again in the Italian Cup semi-final match at the beginning of next month.
There is possibility that Juventus can win the Italian Cup because the opportunity they have to become champions is quite big.
But if they do not perform well according to expectations then there is big possibility that Allegri will be fired an they will have to look for another coach who is much better even though Allegri is actually pretty great coach.nsu
In my opinion, I think allegri should rather be concerned about clinching at least one trophy, maybe the Italian cup and also end up in the champions League spot to ensure that they secure a place in European football come next season because it seems like the current season is already over for juventus as we speak. It has been a very rough campaign for the Turin club after losing the top position to inter who are in some sort of good form but juventus still has the chance to move to second place if AC Milan who are currently occupying the position with a three point difference drops some point before the end of the remaining nine games of the season.

You are right, Real Madrid and Manchester City are the two favorites in the Champions League this season, but unfortunately they had to meet too soon in the quarter-finals. I was basically expecting Manchester City to play Real Madrid in the semi-finals, but that never really came true.

Real Madrid has home advantage in the first leg, while Manchester City will have it in the second leg. Manchester City already have experience beating Real Madrid, but they will never be able to do the same thing every season if Ancelotti has learned enough from his mistakes last season. I would certainly expect the opposite, I mean Manchester City must can beat Real Madrid in the quarter-finals this season.

Yes, I also agree with you. Both Man City and Real Madrid are in top form. In a narrow lane, Real Madrid and Man City faced each other again for the fourth consecutive season in the Champions League. The rematch between Real Madrid and Man City in the quarterfinals of this year's Champions League promises to continue to be a tense match. Man City will continue to defeat Real Madrid this season. In terms of player quality, Man City is still better. Although the talents of the two coaches are equal. Real Madrid can only be firm when they get the final piece of the puzzle, Kylian Mbappé. Only then will they dominate this Europe. Regarding the current squad, Real Madrid cannot overwhelm Man City.
Real Madrid have dominated Europe without kylian mbappé, so even if he comes into Madrid, it's to just help and improve on the already existing structure Madrid have, even in the absence of Ronaldo and benzema they've been outstanding in their performance, currently they are in top gear both in the champions League and their domestic league, sitting at the top of the table with 72 points, and are likely will be the title winners. I know the game between them and Manchester city is always a tough one, but with the current statistics, they are in a better position to win Manchester city.

Do you feel sad when your favorite team loses a match and the bet (if you had placed a bet on that match)?

It is part of every sport where a team loses and a team wins the match. A team is happy and a team is sad, not only in cricket but in other sports too like basketball, volleyball and the last best sport Football.

Also, a match isn't considered a loss but if that match is a final, semi final or such a big match for example between two rivalry teams then it will be like this, but at the same time for us, even if the match isn't important in the context of the series but we place the bet and lose it, it's our lost booked and there are no second thoughts about it.

When your team wins you have happiness. Everything goes wrong including your mood and emotions if the team on which we place the bet loses the match unexpectedly.
The feeling is more saddened when you place your bet on your team and they still lose a match . If you are a regular Gambler or regular football fanatic, this is more like a reoccurring decimal to some of us that are gamblings. As a sportsman this will be a normal thing to you,  you shouldn't be too angry because it happens on a regular basis. So in answering your question OP, I don't have mixed feelings any more when my team loses a match, same thing when I lose a bet.
710  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: Bank recapitalization: 17 out of 24 banks may not meet CBN requirement on: March 20, 2024, 06:52:47 PM
In 2004, under the leadership of the then CBN governor, Charles Soludo, a major reforms took place in the banking sector. The capital base was increased from 2 billion naira to 25 billion naira, and this led to series of merger and acquisition and brought about the total number of banks in 2004 from 89 to 25. Currently, the capital base are categorized into three; banks with regional, national and international license are required to have 10 billion naira, 25 billion naira and 50 billion naira respectively.

Well, the recent development is that the banking sector is about to undergo a recapitulation exercise again. At the moment there's no clear information about the new capital base, but it is estimated to be a 15 - fold increase that will trim down the number of banks further.

Quote
A new report from Ernst and Young estimates that 17 out of 24 banks might not meet the capital requirement from the CBN if it is increased 15-fold from its current N25 billion.

If the report is to be correct, that 7 out of 24 banks are going to have the required capital base to still be operational, which banks do you think are going to make the list and why?

UBA
Zenith Bank
Access Bank
TajBank
FCMB
POLARIS Bank
And maybe fertility Bank,
are the few banks I know that might survive it because they have huge capacity and profit margin, you can check their yearly profit.
however I think all of these is no longer necessary as most Nigerians have migrated to using fintech banking system which to a large extent has reduced the usage of conventional Banks. OPAY, MONIEPOOINT, Kuda etc.
There's no doubt about the fact that we still need them around, but for me I think their services are too slow compared to the new generational Banks especially online banks we have now. Banks like, unity Bank, Eco Bank, union Bank, and some i cannot remember need to either get a merger or recalibrate their services because it's very poor.

We talks about staying unrevealed and anonymous in our Bitcoin investments due to the risks involved within the public, so now what about a scenero to slightly identity a bitcoin investor unknoeingly to him maybe a closed friend or relative, do you've to get revealed to him with the mindsets of being in the same investment with the person?

This is something some of us here doesn't understand, they think because either this forum or the bitcoin industry as one community is brotherlyhood enough reasons to be associated in our social lives.

The secrecy in holding your coins and staying anonymous is an insightment that you've no brothers in the industry because what a Non-Bitcoin investor exhibits at your threats is equal to the task of what a Fellow-Bitcoin investor is capable of.

This crypto investment is like a jungle that has no brother but on your own. That's why it's advised not to reveal your wallet seed phrases to anyone but on a privacy note to yourself if you must have your funds on a safety guard.
Trust no one and not even he who introduced you to the industry.
Keep what gat to be secrets a secret.
I may Invest $100 today as a beginner to the notice of who brought me in to this bitcoin industrial investment system but must not let him know when I diversifies or when I am buying more to accumulate and holding my assets.
A lot of lost assets has remained untraceable and unexplainable due to over trusts with fellas.

You must remember that bitcoin investment is not a better investment for a cooperative financial affairs. Stay on your privacies.
That is the beauty of investing in bitcoin, because you can actually keep your assets a secret, and bitcoin has that uniqueness to maintain a good level of privacy. However too much of secrecy is not too ideal, because of unforeseen circumstances that could happen in the future, it could be illness, an accident or even death. So for me if you have love ones and people you know you can trust with some level of information about you, then you can actually chipping them about your investment lifestyle and some basic information they should know about you, though not letting them know everything but just one or two information.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: March 20, 2024, 01:37:33 PM
We all know that Tottenham at the start of the season played very well so they were at the top of the standings for some time, sometimes it's like that when a team plays well at the start of the season towards the end of the season they usually play badly and lack consistency which is the case with Tottenham now and also Arsenal last season where they were at the top of the standings for a long time but towards the end of the season they played less well so Manchester City became EPL champions last season.
Tottenham played very well in the early matches of the season with an unbeaten streak, but gradually, with the force depth not strong enough to maintain their form, they fell behind. Tottenham's decline is partly due to Kean's departure, and the overreliance on James Maddison in his playing style makes it very easy for Tottenham to be caught. Now, only Arsenal has enough strength to threaten Mancity's championship, with Tottenham maintaining a top 4 position which has been a success for them this season.

If only Tottenham still had Harry Kean who usually score 25 goals and above it would have been a spectacular season for them. Tottenham have shown strength at some point but it is not enough. Their fans are definitely feeling the absence of their club legend. Yes Arsenal are showing good sign that they have improved from their last season disappointment, when they narrowly lost the league to Manchester City. But this time around they are not just battling with Manchester City alone but with another familiar team which is Liverpool. Arsenal has to show how determined they are when they play city in two weeks time.
I completely agree with you, arsenal to a large extent have learnt their lesson, and they are taking one game at a time, so they don't miss out on the league title again. Liverpool and Manchester City will definitely give them a run for their money, especially Liverpool as they are in the same points 64-64, just that arsenal are topping the League with some goals difference which for me is not a enough as a single match they draw could uptown the entire tables against them. So  Mikel Arteta should try and come up with tactics that will definitely keep them on top, however they've not been doing bad with their last few games.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you stake it all put of over confidence in your club on: March 20, 2024, 12:37:15 PM
Have anyone ever had confidence in any match that he was willing to be huge amounts to back up the confidence in a match that features his club. A friend of mine recently shocked me with how much passion and confidence he had in his club, man u vs liverpool  that happened on Sunday I guess was a very hard match cause Liverpool was already stomping 0:2 to man United but my friend was telling that man United won't lose the match, so I told him that if he has much confidence that he should stake life, shocking to me he went on and staked 5k on man United win to qualify which was about 7 odds at that time, and yeah it turned out right for him. Can any one do this or was it a foolish move?
That particular game between Manchester United and Liverpool result was so unpredictable, if you're friend had placed a bet in favour of Manchester United to win that game then he must be a genius to come to that conclusion. When people become too emotionally attached to the club they are fanning, they do things without emotional intelligence and that they say is the beauty of the game. For me that was not too much of a wise decision your friend took, but however this is gambling, the higher the risk the higher the reward, and so far he has benefited from the risk he took.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 19, 2024, 10:30:31 PM
In my opinion, losing just because it shows playing at Old Trafford or an away match cannot be used as a strong reason because everything starts from the performance in the end.
Indeed, playing away sometimes provides great pressure for a club including that Liverpool but it cannot be used as a strong reason because after all it doesn't really make sense considering everything that happens is back to performance.

I believe the fact that the game was played in Old Trafford can be given as a strong reason Liverpool lost that game. We all know the advantage teams get from playing at home and how it is for rival teams to play in enemy territory. We may deny it all we want but that factor is always there.

I agree Liverpool played well despite playing away from home, but do you think Man United would have played that well if they were at Anfield? Playing in Old Trafford gave United an extra layer of confidence and confidence does a lot to a player. So yeah, the home advantage is a reason as to why Man United won the game.

Now, there's a pretty big chance of Manchester United getting to the final because they play Coventry next in the semis. They have a very big chance to win Coventry and get to the final and anything can happen in a final. It would mean a lot to Manchester United if they can win a trophy this season after the poor season they've had. A trophy would turn their season around.
Liverpool clearly dominated That game, it was more like they where scoring and Manchester United where equalizing, I don't think home advantage played any role in favour of Manchester United in that game because Liverpool clearly dominated. Even the last minute goal that was scored by diallo for me was just pure luck.

It will be pretty nice for Eric Ten hag to win this cup but looking at the obstacles  in front of them and considering Manchester United inconsistency in delivery, I still have some doubt in my mind if they will come out victorious at the end.

You're point is well noted, but it's all boiled down to the government inability to check some of the excesses of traders and business owners.
Government is supposed to draft a government price regulatory agency whose responsibility would have been for them to go into the market and check at those traders selling above the market speculated price and sanction them appropriately with instant laws.

If these agencies are not put in place by government of different state, we as a people with continue to suffer haphazard market prices on goods and services.
716  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Don't do this mistakes in trading on: March 19, 2024, 03:51:50 PM
No matter how many discussions talk about "common trading mistakes" this still won't change everyone. Because what I observed is the more we talk about this, the more newbies fall into committing mistakes. Honestly, it is difficult to change someone who already fell in love with money because even if they know greediness is wrong still it lives in their mind. And no matter how many times they suffer losses, that won't change their behavior. Maybe, just maybe, if they stay cool this time but can't ensure they remain cool for a long time.

We fail trading, not because of the lack of knowledge but it is due to our wrong actions and approaches.
Talking about greed all of the time doesn't mean people will no longer fall for it, of course people must fall except there are no trades anymore but in as much as trades are made a portion of traders must fall into trade victims of greed. Everyone must not win their trades, an error must set in either by an act of greed or something else otherwise we won't have course to be treating the discussion all of the time.

Humans we are wired to seek for more after initial target has been attained and that insatiable nature is what create that greed in us while we trade and when a trader lack a conscious control of that innate inclination for more in his trading life you see he keeps making more losses than profits. Even in times he should make profit greed set in to take more and from taking more a collateral loss is incurred. Everyone of us has greed it is how we manage it that matters.

I understand your point, but the truth is that, people still need to be reminded about their greed when trading because while trading most persons try to get mixed feelings of wanting to take a high percent forgetting that the market is highly volatile. So for me the needs to always remind people to be less greedy while trading cannot be overemphasized.
 
I understand trading requires patience and a good trading strategy for which, if well applied can make beginners get more profit which in turn will reduce their level of greed. However, Human errors are bound to happen and this is mostly at the beginning stage, but can be corrected at the long run.

Does Bitcoin actually have a Dip season? Or just when you are capable to purchase that comes the investor Dip time?
Anyways, let me just say buying at the Dip and holding is the best format to purchase your Bitcoin and accumulate as much as you can while the markets erupts to be appreciated in values.

While we alternates to diversify our investment to the altcoins, I don't think if there would be confidence of reliability to buy and hold for such a long term while aiming for increments in the market value. Believe it, altcoins cans be funny.
Bitcoin actually has the dip season, where the market value of bitcoin drops significantly, making it possible for investors that don't have the money to buy the previous high value to start buying and accumulating.

Whenever you have the resource to begin your bitcoin investment journey, is not the same as dip, you can actually start investing let's say when the price was $49k, and after few weeks it moved for $53k,  that simply means you started investing when you had the money, and so far you've made profit of $4k and that's because you've held on for weeks.
However buying the dip requires you to have invested when the price was a bit lower let say $30k or even lower, and you start purchasing little by little using the DCA method.

Altcoins are just what they are known for, alternative coins. they cannot be trusted with long time investment, even when some of them tends to appear with some high market value at a particular period of time, suddenly before you will say Jack, they are no where to be found.

Forthnight ago, I sat down under a mango tree whose blossoming flowers are promising to humanity and birds. It gave a complete relaxation to me which enhanced a moment of reflections over events and nature around.
Barely an hour, two birds most probably male and female arrived to have their launch on the nectar of the flowers. Their arrival was heralded with a peculiar song that seemed esoteric, but it's lyrics was a lullaby to me.
Suddenly, there appeared in the scene a dramatic event. Three men were pushing an unkempt brand old Passat car towards me to be kept under the mango tree. It broke down complete while it was on it's way to the city. It is a property of a university Professor of Political science. In fact, the Professor was among the three men who were pushing the car.
Then, my reflection moved to the circumstances around the Professor. How much is the monthly salary of a Professor and other related allowances as are accrued to them in the midst of plenty. In fact, there monthly take home is meagre and is better imagined than experienced.
Is there Prices determined by the market mechanisms of demand and supply or by an authocratic Fiat of the government, thus what must be done to effect justice on this serious matter.
I would want the public in this forum to contribute.
Don't get it wrong OP, Most professor's and academicians are paid handsomely, for the fact that you saw an old car of a professor been pushed doesn't mean he doesn't have a newer car at home or cannot afford a newer car. Don't forget that intellectuals don't always give value to materialism, they tend to leave a very modest lifestyle. To you it might seem that their basic salary is small, but don't forget that they are entitled to allowances another incentives and grants that allows them to afford the basics life can give.

Because from your semantics and story narration, it seems you want to compare professors to business owners and large investors with millions of dollars in The society which to me is incomparable, Because a professor renders service to the society and is paid by the government, The university that the profession is lecturing is not owned by him.

I think right now Manchester City is a stronger squad compared to Real Madrid. And I absolutely agree about Manchester City being more ready. Manchester City has been facing hard opponents throughout the whole season. And how many hard opponents do Real Madrid face? Barcelona?
And at this point, I don't think Atletico Madrid is on the same level as Real Madrid. Some people will say that Girona will also cause problems. But I think if I remember correctly Girona was never able to give Real Madrid big competition head to head.

So Real Madrid is definitely not going to be as prepared to face Manchester City as Manchester City will be to face Real Madrid.

I also think the same. Manchester City have a player like Erling Haaland on the front before anything else.  Smiley  I know Haaland can be really ineffective from time to time and this is more commonly seen in big games. The Liverpool game they played recently can be considered as an example. Another example is his performance as of the semi finals phase in the Champions League last season.

However Haaland is still a beast and a goal machine. Real Madrid don't have that kind of a player in the attacking line but it is still up to their team performance on one hand. I don't think we will watch an easy matchup for any of these teams this time.

Real Madrid prepared to face City?That is not going to happen.Real was destroyed 4-0 last year when they were playing much better than what I saw against Leipzig during this season,that was the most ugly football I have ever seen in my life and trust me I have seen more than 25 years of football,never I have seen such a boring game like that of Real Madrid against a team like Leipzig which is nowhere near the power of Manchester City.

Real for me is out 101% and they don't stand a single chance against City with that type of football that they have showed so far in the Champions League,if the odds will be good for City when playing away I am going to bet an extensive amount as I am sure they will beat Real at Bernabeu too.
For me it is a game of chance, it is 50-50, either of them can win it and progress to the next round, but it all depends on the team that is capable of creating and also converting these chances, they are both playing well in their domestic leagues respectively so I don't think anyone of them is inferior to the other or superior, all I see is a very interesting yet fierce contest between two of Europe's finest elite clubs, perhaps the winner of this tie may turn out to be the winner of this year's edition. And I also want to emphasize that it won't be easier for Manchester city as it was for them last season when both clubs met in the semi final stage.
