Bologna had to settle for sharing points with Inter Milan, to be able to equalize Bologna fought hard not to accept defeat from Inter Milan and were lucky thats the first goal was created by Riccardo Orsolini in the 19th minute thank to a penalty and the seconds half was followed by Joshua Zirkzee goal in 52 minute.
Bologna is in its best performance at the moments and in the next match Bologna will playing at home against Frosinone with only 1 point difference. Bologna must appear impressive to be able to get points and get to the top 10, after facing Inter with a draw of course Bologna will be more confident in facing Frosinone.
Frosinone is a team that is not very strong in Serie A this season and this will be taken advantage of by Bologna, who are now starting to become more confident after being able to draw at home to Inter Milan. It was very painful for Inter Milan who were unable to win at home when they met Bologna, because Inter Milan itself was fighting for first position with AC Milan. However, with this draw, Inter Milan has to sit in second place in the standings with a distance of two points over AC Milan.

The Frosinone team is new to Serie A. However, this group should not be considered too weak. This team is now in the eighth place in the points table. They are able to perform very well. They have lost two out of eight matches. On the other hand, the Bologna team is at the 11th place in the points table. But the performance of this group is quite stable. Their party is not strong. But their defense and match tactics are excellent. They conceded only 6 goals in 8 matches. Bologna's players will now be more confident after picking up 1 point against Inter Milan in the last match. But my guess is that the match will be a draw. While Bologna's performance has been steady, their attack has been quite weak.

Bangladesh is not able to burn in Dharamshala. Did Shakib Al Hasan really make a wrong decision by inviting England to bat first? At the moment, England have collected 259 runs in  36.3 overs with the loss of 1 wicket.  Debit Malan has been on fire at the moment as he scored 135 runs off 103 balls and is Root approaching his half-century. If England continues to play like this then England will score 400+ runs today. If 400+ runs, Bangladesh will not be able to burn so hard today. So I can't see the victory of Bangladesh team in today's match.
I think Shakib Hasan took the right decision. How come this stadium has the record of winning matches by teams batting later. Also, Bangladesh won the first match by batting later at this venue. But in today's match, England batted exceptionally well. I was surprised by England's batting performance. So far England's total has been 290 runs in 39 overs. Jonny Bairstow batted well and scored a half-century and was dismissed for 52 runs. Dawid Malan batted very well in today's match scoring 140 runs off 107 balls. The way England are batting today, and with 11 overs to go, it looks like they can easily score 400 runs. England will win easily if they score 400 runs. Bangladesh cannot win today.
England lost badly against New Zealand in the first match. And so they had to win today's match against Bangladesh at any cost if they wanted to qualify for the semi-finals. For this purpose, they are batting from the beginning of the innings. England's batsmen are playing great. The bowling of Bangladeshi bowlers is not too bad but they cannot do well against the experienced batsmen of England. Spin bowlers cannot play such an effective role today. At the end of 42 overs, England collected 307 runs, losing 5 wickets. The team will probably be able to deliver a target of 360-370. That's enough to win on this pitch.

The way England started their innings, I thought the score would be 400+ today. But in the last 10 overs, the Bangladeshi bowlers found the truck. England could not do well in the last 10 overs.

At the end of 40 overs, England's collection was 298 runs with the loss of only 3 wickets. And at the end of 47 overs, the team collected 337 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. England should have collected 70 runs in these 7 overs. But they collected only 39 runs. Their average is below 6. Even then, if you give a target of more than 350 on this pitch, you can be safe. Also the performance of Bangladeshi batsmen is very erratic. They will not be able to stay at the crease for long against England's bowlers. England may win by a big margin today.

New Zealand lost their first wicket. Devon Conway returned to the dressing room with 32 off 40 balls.
Will Young failed to collect any runs in the first match. But he is batting responsibly in today's match. He is unbeaten after collecting 40 runs off 48 balls. Ravindra collects 6 runs. New Zealand scored 87 runs in 16 overs. Now their run rate is below 6. The pitch is batting friendly. If the team does not lose wickets quickly, then they can give a big target. But I don't think New Zealand can give more than 400 target. The highest score on this pitch was 350, probably the 350 Australia scored. I think New Zealand can give a target of 360-380 if they bat very well. But that is less likely.
The New Zealand team is right in their target as the wicket-keeping game is the principle of ODI matches, the run rate is all right. But if New Zealand can continue to play like this, maybe Netherlands can give the team a target of 250-300 plus runs. Netherlands team's bowling performance looks very good but failing to destroy wickets shows the failure. Because so far the New Zealand team's run rate is 5.28, but I can see that from the bowling point of view, the Netherlands have put the New Zealand players under a lot of pressure. But today's match will be full of competition as the current batting pair of Young and Ravindra are showing very good performance in the field of batting.

New Zealand's run rate is gradually increasing. At the end of 32 overs, the drinks break is going on. New Zealand collected 183 runs in 32 overs. But they lost only two wickets. Today Rachin Ravindra is batting very responsibly like in the first match. He is unbeaten with 49 runs from 49 balls. Young got out after collecting 70 runs. So far the New Zealand batsmen are trying to bat descent. They are not playing too aggressively. Perhaps after 35 overs, New Zealand's batsmen will bat aggressively. In 18 overs I expect at least 150 runs from the New Zealand batsmen. Let's see if they are able to deliver the target of 330 runs.

LOL.. one defeat against strongest team in the tournament and all of a sudden Australia's chances are down? I don't agree with this assessment. Australia still remains as one of the favorites to lift the trophy and historically they have performed really well in ICC tournaments. Their next match is against South Africa at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, and I am sure that they will bounce back strongly. Almost everyone in the Australian squad have the experience of participating in the IPL. So they are very familiar with the weather and ground conditions. And this is going to help them as the tournament progresses.
Australia have the capability to bounce back in the tournament. Even yesterday they got 3 quick wickets and were right on top but its King Kohli and KL who shattered there desires of winning the game. You expect your bowlers to win a game for you if you have scored 199 batting first.
Today there is only one fixture - Netherlands vs New Zealand. Not much chances for Netherlands today as New Zealand are in good from as evident from there first match agonist England.   
After winning the toss against New Zealand, the Netherlands decided to bowl. Although Netherlands are a much weaker team compared to New Zealand but it is good that they have taken this decision. Because if Netherlands had batted first, the target of runs that Netherlands would have given would have been beneficial for New Zealand because they would have given a certain number of runs per over as per the target. Since now netherlands are willing to play with target so it can be said netherlands are better if they can play according to run rate. Although New Zealand is playing very well against England, but still it is not possible to say what can happen in the match between Netherlands and New Zealand. And after some time we will be able to enjoy this great match.
I am sure Netherlands will lose today's match too. Because the New Zealand team is in a very good rhythm. The way the New Zealand players performed against England, this team is a worthy contender for this year's World Cup. England's experienced bowlers were completely destroyed by New Zealand's batsmen. The team won the target of 283 runs given by England very easily. Perhaps they won in just 36.2 overs, losing just one wicket.

My guess is New Zealand can collect 380+ today. And their batting seems to be the case so far. The team collected 63 runs in 10 overs. They don't collect too much in the power play. But they did not lose a single wicket. If New Zealand do not lose wickets, the team will easily collect more than 350 against Netherlands. Even if I see 400+ I won't be surprised at all today.

New Zealand lost their first wicket. Devon Conway returned to the dressing room with 32 off 40 balls.
Will Young failed to collect any runs in the first match. But he is batting responsibly in today's match. He is unbeaten after collecting 40 runs off 48 balls. Ravindra collects 6 runs. New Zealand scored 87 runs in 16 overs. Now their run rate is below 6. The pitch is batting friendly. If the team does not lose wickets quickly, then they can give a big target. But I don't think New Zealand can give more than 400 target. The highest score on this pitch was 350, probably the 350 Australia scored. I think New Zealand can give a target of 360-380 if they bat very well. But that is less likely.

Manchester City will have a tough match against Arsenal, this match is of course quite important for both teams to get full points. The Citizens are most ambitious to be able to score three points in order to return to the top of the standings which has been taken over by Tottenham.
Of course this is an interesting match to watch. Currently Liverpool against Brighton the score is 2-1 in favor of Liverpool. Salah has scored 2 goals and it is very likely that it will be a hat trick. I'm betting on Liverpool winning tonight. To secure my money because the City vs Arsenal match can make me lose my money.

From the beginning of the match, Liverpool's performance is a bit slow. was But they made several excellent attacks after 35 minutes. And in the 40th minute, the team was able to equalize the match with Mohamed Salah's goal. Liverpool scored another goal from the penalty spot in just 6 minutes. And at the end of the first half, the team led 2-1.
Even with a 2-1 lead, it is still not possible to say that Liverpool will win. I saw Brigton's performance. They are playing quite well in today's home match. Despite conceding only one goal in the first half, Brighton's players were able to make several excellent attacks. In the second half they will probably play more attacking. The second half will be more exciting.

AC Milan headed for a draw again, they failed to do against Borrussia Dortmund during the Champions League, now, here they are again.
They have good set of attacking players, why the hurdle with getting a goal in?

In the end AC Milan took the lead with Pulisic's goal. Pulisic scored in the 87th minute. Genoa played defensively from the start of the match. This is why Milan's players failed to score despite trying so hard. However, Milan's performance in the first half was quite slow. In the second half they changed their match strategy. And increased the speed of the attack. In the end, the Milan team was able to win the match with a margin of 1-0.

AC Milan scored three points in today's match. And now the team is at the top of the table. AC Milan team is now 2 points ahead of Inter Milan and 4 points ahead of Juventus. If Juventus can defeat Milan in the next match, then they will be able to easily hold the top spot in the table for a long time.

I don't think that the Bangladesh team will be able to start the World Cup journey in such a great way. The team played great. Especially the Bangladeshi spin bowlers controlled the match. Shakib took 3 wickets and Miraj 4 wickets. Shakib's bowling was excellent. Shakib picked up all three important wickets of Afghanistan's top order. And this is why the Afghanistan team can no longer return to the truck. The coach of the Bangladesh team understood the pitch condition very well.
Although Bangladesh won quite easily, Bangladesh's top order failed as usual today. Tanzid is out like a fool today. Players should play responsibly in such an important World Cup match. Also Liton is yet to return to form. Miraz and Shanto's excellent partnership gave Bangladesh an easy win. Both have collected more than 50.
It's the openers who failed to score runs today for Bangladesh but there number 3rd and 4th batsmen scored fifties today. Its good overall performance from Bangladesh today. Afghanistan is a strong cricketing side and you can expect them to bowl out so cheaply. Mehidy Hasan Miraz had game of his life, first he picked 3 wickets and then a half century.

I have no expectations from Bangladesh's openers. I can't remember the last time I saw this team's opening pair play well. The opening pair of Bangladesh team rarely plays well. The entire performance of this team depends on the performance of their middle order and bowlers. There are several experienced batsmen in the middle order. And the performance of Bangladesh's bowlers is decent. Bangladeshi spin bowlers as well as pace bowlers have done well in today's match. Bangladesh got more advantage as the pitch was spin friendly. Batting against Shakib and Miraz on a spin friendly pitch is not easy at all. Also we saw good bowling from Shorigul, Mustafiz and Taskin in this match.

Personally I can say that knowledge in cryptocurrencies isn't very beneficial because ask yourself, why is bitcoin popular? And then compare possiblities of bitcoin to Monero. Everyone will tell you that bitcoin is decentralized, anonymous, etc... But then there is a monero. Logically, Monero should be the number one cryptocurrency and not bitcoin because monero is decentralized where every user is anonymous by default. Then there is an ethereum that offers a lot of features unlikely to Bitcoin but still bitcoin is number one currency. I can't actually understand it. I don't say that bitcoin is bad, no, it's great but I used to think that Monero and Ethereum had potential to surpass bitcoin. That's why I think that bitcoin hodling is more important than bitcoin knowledge.

In theory, ETH or XMR both show that they have many superior features than bitcoin, but in reality everything will be completely different from theory. There is no reason for anyone to choose bitcoin if it proves to be inferior to the other two coins or any other altcoin that exists in the market. Maybe a few people will be confused but there's no way the whole world can be confused about it.

Regarding holding and knowledge, I just want to know if you don't have knowledge, how can you hold bitcoin? If you know nothing about bitcoin: how it works, its fluctuations, and wallets to store it...if you don't know these things, how can you confidently hold bitcoin? They say knowledge is power, meaning when you have knowledge about it, you will understand it clearly and have faith in it. The same thing happens with bitcoin, why many people can hold it for many years to gain thousands of percent profits, but many people cannot hold it even when buying at low prices? Everything is decided by faith, and to have faith, you need to understand it clearly.
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: October 06, 2023, 04:49:36 PM
But i am excited about the game tomorrow Dortmund vs Union Berlin and i dont how to bet there for now.

I am also waiting for this match. The Dortmund team did not start the season well but their performance is very stable now. The team has won their last three matches in the Bundesliga. They shared the points with Milan in the Champions League match. The team is in good rhythm. Especially in the last few matches, Dortmund's attacking players have been playing well.

Union Berlin, on the other hand, have not been in good form this season. Their performance suddenly deteriorated. They have been trying to get back on track for the last four matches. This team has lost four matches in a row. So Berlin is less likely to perform well against Dortmund at the moment.

Dortmund has been able to maintain excellent dominance in the matches between these two teams. Dortmund have won 4 of their last 5 matches and Dortmund are capable of performing very well in their home match against Berlin. Hopefully Dortmund will win at least 2 goals in this match.

Al-Nassr started their game today with force scoring an early goal vs Abha in the 3rd minute of the match by Otavio with the help of Brozovic. I expect more goals to come from their side.
Nice ! Based on statistics, Al Nassr really controls this game, and I think there will be lots of goals for them today. It also seems like Abha will not be able to make a surprise, they continue to be pressured by the Al Nassr players which are on fire to collect a lot of points, this is an easy match for Al Nassr. Meanwhile, Ittihad will might have difficulty against Al Ahli today, but it seems that match is a more interesting game rather than Al Nassr match.
Al Nassr FC is in complete control of the game; following the first goal, they added a second goal in the 28th minute of play. The opponents were fortunate to be awarded a penalty, and thanks to Otavio's foul in the 18-yard box, they were able to score their first goal in the 36th minute.
Because Al Nassr is putting so much pressure on them and because Al Abha has a history of losing to Al Nassr and now has Ronaldo, Mane, and many other top players in their team, I don't think they will be able to tie the game or win a draw. As a result, I anticipate more goals from Al Nassr.

AlNassr team is in very good rhythm. The team lost points in the first two matches. But now the team is able to win every match consistently. And they will be able to maintain the consistency in today's match against Abha Club. Abha is not a strong club. A very weak team. And Al Nassr is also performing quite well in this match.

I am looking forward to see a good performance from Ronaldo. But he is not able to play well. Ronaldo has yet to score any goals or assists in this match. On the other hand, the presence of Sadio Mane is very well understood in this match. He is playing well. Mane made an assist even though he couldn't score. Al Nassr is leading 2-1 in the match. And looking at the performance of both teams, it seems that the match will end 2-1.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: October 06, 2023, 02:48:05 PM
I may not have the stats to back this but a very huge percentage of people who gamble are in it to make money. Only very few are doing it for fun. When you go to gambling platforms, you'll see a lot of lower-class people who forever use their last money to gamble (hoping that it could be their lucky day). I've gone to numerous physical gambling stores, but I haven't seen a really rich person there, it's always people who are struggling, wasting, and tossing their money away out of desperation.
To be honest, I dont really understand what they thinks about gambling, gambling was created with the aim of having fun and the possibility of winning is smaller, but they are willing to spend money in vain if they are not in a stable financial condition. of course this will make them even worse and lose hoped if they don't succeed in winning. There are many other things that can more definitely make money, of course not gambling because gambling is fictitious and the profits are uncertain and gambling only relies on luck.

you are right Gambling is made for fun. And I think it's made for rich people. Why should I gamble if I don't have enough money?
Personally, I think gambling is more likely to lose than win. And it's not a way to make money. I don't understand why I would waste money gambling when I don't have money. As a result, we may need to borrow money in the future to cover my personal expenses. However, gambling is only a game. And one should never gamble if one does not have enough extra money. If a person gambles even after he has enough money, he is definitely said to be addicted to gambling. And gambling addiction is very harmful.
712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Lessons of my experience and knowledge about Bitcoin on: October 06, 2023, 04:16:52 AM
Many people say that cryptocurrency has high risks. I think that applies to altcoins. If I look at bitcoin, I think it is quite safe because bitcoin always has value and is the best among others.

It seems like you are quite familiar with bitcoin and that is an expression of experience with bitcoin. I agree with you and bitcoin will always be the best now and forever
Bitcoin is the king and will always be. Those altcoins are just decorations in the crypto market and those who may find them attractive will surely take higher risk from winning their investment. But with bitcoin, you get the assurance to end up with profits as long as you stick to it and maximize long term hodling, which is hard yo achieved with altcoins since they’re nothing but a pump and dump scheme. Although there are established altcoins in the market, but let’s accept the fact that they can never be profitable and secured like bitcoin.

If you compare altcoins and bitcoins, the safety level of bitcoins will be absolutely superior, but to say that bitcoins are safe and risk-free is not entirely correct. Because no investment is absolutely safe, not even gold or real estate, let alone bitcoin. But investing in altcoins is really too risky, it is no different from gambling and is no longer called investing. So, for those who do not like too much risk and want significant profits, bitcoin is the best choice. But don't be too subjective that it has no risk and put all your assets and trust in it, remember everything has risk.
713  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: This is my plan. on: October 06, 2023, 03:55:31 AM
I am still here to gather little knowledge about Bitcoin, I don't need enough knowledge, I can invest while learning Bitcoin, but the thing there is I am shuffling my self, so I will not be tangled while I am accumulating Bitcoin, I have come up with a plan of using the DCA method to accumulate a $50 monthly, my monthly payment from my job is $300, if my expenses will collect up $100 then $50 can be kept in crypto (Bitcoin) and another $100 for emergency funds then the remaining $50 can also be kept for personal things. Now is the best time to buy Bitcoin, I am not in a hurry to start investing Bitcoin, when the time comes for me to invest nothing will stop me to invest in BTC, as Bitcoin is not something I will start today and get rich tomorrow that is why I don't want to rush in to it. I will use electrum Bitcoin wallet to save my coins because I have learned so far that the electrum wallet is a safe wallet for any investors that what to hold Bitcoin for long, so I will be using it to hold my coins when I buy some Bitcoin, I will update when I buy my first BTC.
really? 100 dollars for monthly expenses? how much are you dealing in daily base? 3.30 $ expenses daily? do you really live with that amount? that is a single meal in my country .
but if you can manage to do that with earning 300 dollars a month then you are good in spending that 50 dollars for investing , since you need no big knowledge in bitcoin like what you said , then for what is the DCA all about?
you said that you are willing to invest while learning then better to learn from your own mistakes .

If you come from my country, are single and live frugally, then with 3 USD you can spend enough for yourself, a budget meal in my country is only 1 USD. In many developing countries, the average income is only 250-300 USD, so spending 100-150 USD per month is reasonable.

I think what he means is, he doesn't need a huge amount of knowledge to get started with bitcoin, just the basics so he can buy and hold bitcoin. He will then increase his knowledge while accumulating bitcoins each month. DCA every month and continue to improve your knowledge, this is not a bad idea for newbies. What's important is how long they can maintain it because it's easy to say but not easy to do.

Celtic lost 2-1 at home against Lazio. Celtic scored the first goal in the match and ended the first half with a 1-1 draw. Lazio didn't play very well away from home, but Lazio got an important win with a goal in the last minutes. Pedro, who came on in the 84th minute, scored the winning goal after 10 minutes. Thus, Atletico and Lazio reached 4 points in group E while Feyenoord 3 and Celtic 0.
A team with an attacking playing style like Celtic was not expected to lose the match against Lazio. Celtic should have scored more than just 1 goal in this match, but Lazio's defense was also very good, making Celtic's attackers confused. Lazio's last minute goal certainly added to the pain for the Celtic players and if this continues then Celtic will definitely be eliminated in the Champions League group phase.
Celtic used to give most teams a hard time. Nowadays we see a Celtic that is far from its former strength. Normally, when they play at home, they can challenge their opponents and even win, but we can see that as time progresses, they have lost their old strength and are no longer the feared dream of the big teams. Celtic's performance so far shows that they will definitely not get out of the group and will be eliminated. I think they will most probably finish 4th in the group.

The Celtic team is relatively weak. But winning against this team will not be an easy task for Lazio or Atletico Madrid. Feyenoord had an excellent 2-0 win at home against Celtic. However, it was not easy for Lazio to defeat Celtic in the away match. Celtic's players performed very well at home. They fought to win the entire match. And the performance of the players was also very good in this match. But they were unlucky. Lazio won the match by scoring in extra time after 90 minutes. Lazio won the match 2-1 thanks to Pedro's goal in the 90th+5th minute. However, we saw a very good performance from the Celtic players in this match.

It is very likely that today's match will be very tough for England as England have lost four batsmen in their top order but none of the three batsmen could score a half century/century. England will need a long partnership to make a good target but it is easy to guess that England's batsmen are under pressure from New Zealand's bowling department. England fell by 4 wickets for 119 runs which is an indication of how well England's next batsmen will do.
England posted 282-9 in 50 overs against New Zealand. Joe Root out in 77 by 86 balls and Jos Buttler is out 43 runs in 42 balls and with the support from the tail-enders, England reached a decent total. New Zealand need 283 to win the opening match. NewZealand have successfully limited the reigning champions to a modest 300. M. Henry took 3 wickets 3-48-10 and M. Santner also picked 2 wickets his bowling figure is 2-37-10. I think NewZealand have strong chance to win this match.
With a target of 283 runs, New Zealand came into bat in the second innings where they managed to score 67 runs at the end of 8 overs after losing one wicket. England bettors today might be tensed right now as England's first innings collection is not at all strong. England scored only 282 runs on a batting friendly wicket. The way New Zealand are batting, if they don't lose wickets too quickly, they will reach their target in forty overs. Even if England can't do well in batting, they must do well in bowling.
New Zealand beat England by nine wickets in the first match Chased down the target 283/1 in 43.1 overs in the World Cup 23. Devon Conway Scored 152* in 121 balls and completes 1000 ODI runs, the fastest Kiwi batter to do in just 22 innings. Ravindra started attack on English Bowling line up and just finished their hope to win the match. Rachin Ravindra has been named as the Player of the match' for his outstanding knock of 123* in 96 balls. England bowling is very disappointed, i think New Zealand waited 4 years to take their previous World cup Final's frustration out and everyone thought they were the nice guys

Before the start of the World Cup, England played ODI series against Ireland and New Zealand. And they won both series. This team performed very well. So I expected something better from England in the World Cup. But the way they performed in the first match is really sad.

England's batsmen cannot do well. But it was not at all expected that their bowlers would do so badly. They managed to pick up only 1 wicket. Conway and Ravindra destroyed England's bowlers. New Zealand collected 273 runs from this pair. The way New Zealand have started their World Cup journey is admirable. If this team can continue this performance, it will not be difficult for them to qualify for the semi-finals.

Sporting Vs Atalanta -- Group D[/b]

It was the most competitive match of the day. Both Sporting and Atalanta are very strong teams. I won the bet on this match. I know Sporting is a very strong team. However, the reason I bet on Atalanta to win is because the team has played quite well in their last few matches. The team shared points with Juventus in their last Serie A match. They played very well against Juventus. That's why I bet Atalanta to win today's match.

Atalanta won the match 2-1. Atalanta's players performed well in the first half and took a 2-0 lead. After taking a 2-0 lead in the first half, they played somewhat defensively in the second half. Atalanta conceded a goal though. Atalanta are now at the top of Group D after winning both of their Europa League matches.

Whoever is caught trying to discourage people from their involvement in bitcoin and crypto entirely, should be considered and enemy of the state.

How on earth should someone who's supposed to be advocating for the change in the centralised financial system be the same person discouraging people from bitcoin purchase, how is the space suppose to grow and gain relevance.

No one is stopping newbies from entering the market, what everyone is trying to tell newbies is to start with the basics instead of rushing to make money. Do you see how anyone can make money and become rich if they have no knowledge? Especially with trading, if you participate in trading without knowledge, it is like gambling.

Knowledge is what newbies need, don't rush into making money with an empty mind. If you think you can make money without knowledge, you are just participating in the market just to be bait for sharks to enjoy.

The list @OP shows the traits and ideology of a pessimist person.  In entrepreneurs, there is no room for pessimist people.  Optimistic people are those who dare to challenge the risk, learn from their past experience, and love to prove their idea over the idea killers that their idea is not wrong.  Optimistic people mostly experience success in their endeavors because they take life in a possitive outlook, of course, their actions also consider risk factors but they mitigate them by analyzing situations and planning for the best approach.

For an optimistic entrepreneur, nothing can be a hurdle and every problem has its solution.
but I think optimistic entrepreneur also should know when to be realistic, if thing just doesn't work then it just doesn't work, you don't force your business to work just because youre optimistic while at loss because it will result in even bigger problem that is strangling yourself with debt.
i think businessman should always be realistic with a little flavour of optimistic, basically balance of the two, with being overly pessimistic someone will get nothing done.
because business isn't as easy as many have pictured out to be, its really difficult thing to do so much stress, so much pressure and need to be really effective at doing things since we are constrained with limited capital.

I highly agree that an entrepreneur must be realistic and base their action according to the situation.  The reason why I stated that a successful entrepreneur always considers the risk factor is because knowing the risk factor keeps these optimistic entrepreneurs in reality.  The difference is that with being optimistic, they have different approaches to hard situations where they are less prone to stress and frustration making them see the whole picture with motivation and hope which can lead to more competitive decisions.

What you are saying I think is subjective, not optimistic. Many people are so confident in their plans that they do not pay attention to the reality that is happening, which is called subjective and irresponsible. Optimism means that we are always calm in every situation, know how to listen to everyone's opinions, and find ways to come up with good solutions for the business no matter how difficult it is.

I agree with what poodle63 said, doing business and being successful is not as easy as many people imagine. To me, the first thing we should do is step out of our comfort zone, do things that others don't dare to do, act and act instead of just planning and talking and talking. Don't teach or show someone how to get rich when we can't get rich ourselves. Results are what people will see and judge a person as, ideas and theories are useless if they do not bring good results.

Why do we assume Mbappe will join Real Madrid? Despite his desire to play there, would La Liga be as exciting without Messi and Ronaldo every week? He has proved that he is determined to win the Champions League, which PSG, even with Neymar, Messi, and himself, couldnt achieve. Still, thinking about him playing in the EPL, where the competition is stiff and the weather is so different from Parisian nights, makes me laugh.
Regardless of anyone's assumptions about this, if Mbappe wants to win titles in the domestic league and Champions League next season. So Real Madrid is the more appropriate team for him in that regard, even though other teams are also more appropriate, such as several teams in the EPL. However, considering the competition and the very different weather as you said, the consideration might be quite correct if Mbappe wants to choose Real Madrid as the team that will make his career even more brilliant than it is now.
I think that Kylian Mbappé can have a great career if he joins a good club as Messi and Neymar are not in Europe now. The rising star is likely to join the Real Madrid squad next season. I think it is best for Kylian Mbappe to join Real Madrid.
Messi and neymar will not give any impact to his career. Mbappe is far below compared with messi and neymar in term of achievements. Real madrid will become the most suitable place to be his next club. Mbappe has a bunch of potentials to grow even bigger as a superstars.
What he needed is now a good team that can help him to reveal all of his potential. Having mbappe, bellingham, vini and rodrygo at the same club will be a disaster for another club especially barcelona.
I hope that perez will be hearing what we wanted and real madrid will try to send an official bid to get mbappe as soonas possible. I hope that everything will be going smoothly.
I do really support mbappe to go to the madrid as soon as possible. It is my wish that Perez will come to recognize and understand it.

Mbappe is a great player and very talented, I have no doubt. And Mbappe has a lot of scoring ability too. But the problem is that Mbappe is very selfish. He wants to score alone, and he doesn't like to assist. And I think that mentality is completely opposite to the way Real Madrid play. Real Madrid is strong as a team. We saw the performances of Benzema and Ronaldo in Madrid. They scored a lot of goals as well as a lot of assists. That's why I think if Mbappe doesn't change his style of play, he won't be successful with Real Madrid either. Of course Mbappe has a penchant for assists.

Something that needed to address in a much earlier stage, just like you mentioned it's alarming since the chance that it will continue
to the next generation as it was being treated as normal ways of entertaining themselves.
If there's people who wanted to take care of this kind of activities, better to look on those young adults, they should be guided to make sure
that they will not push for more and they will continue treating gambling just for fun and not to exceed from it.
Yes, of course this is very worrying for parents in particular, because if teenagers are not controlled it can lead to addiction. Having guidance and understanding from an early age is also a good thing, but it is not easy to just do this, because today's teenagers are difficult to advise, once they feel comfortable in an activity it tends to be difficult to stop. Like gambling, teenagers who are addicted will not be able to just stop, because they feel happy even though the risk is dangerous for themselves and can also have an impact on the people around them.
We have different ways each everyone of us engage into gambling, some can personally control theirselves while others couldn't because of the fun and fantasy that comee with gambling, same also is expected that we don't allow children go into this as long as they are still dependent, being an adult, gembling should be done with moderacy and caution, since we are not like children that needs to be controlled from doing what is not expected of them at a particular time, but it's obvious that some mature adults also needs to be pampard like these same children in other for them to know how they can gamble with care and remain being unaffected.

you are right I think adults should not gamble. Gambling can make you a lot of money, and you can also lose a lot of money. And if we can't control our greed, we are likely to lose a lot of money in gambling. However, I know many adults who cannot control themselves. They have lost a lot of money gambling, yet they continue to gamble. And they are addicted to it. They cannot keep themselves away from gambling in any way.
And so I would say first of all we should learn to curb our greed. If we are greedy we will never be able to control ourselves. We will get addicted to gambling and lose a lot of money.
