There's no gender validation in gambling as long as the player is capable to play, understand how does the gambling works and have a money that would like to get entertain anyone is open for gambling reason why some soeaking only for men is because men are the one who more practically playing gambling. It depends someone men are the more way risk takers otherwise woman are the wiser and more in money we cannot remove this perspective's always happening. At the end it's all about the money for the casino and satisfaction for the players.
There might be no gender validation but there are some things that are basically dominated by a single gender, like nursing is something that mostly females do, now we know that even guys can do nursing but they don't go for it a lot. Similarly, gambling is basically a male-dominant thing, even if casinos don't do gender discrimination, and there are no restrictions for women anywhere where gambling is allowed, men are still greater in number in gambling.

Women might have a lot of money and access to all kinds of gambling casinos and resources, but they simply prefer doing other things than gambling their money away. On the other side, men tend to take a lot of risks with their money only in the pursuit of making it even more, and gambling is one of the ways they see it.

...Maybe if we will do trading, this amount can be achieved using the same capital but the condition is you must be a pro trader first. Another condition is you may not get the same amount daily. In trading, sometimes our income is less but that's better than being zero the whole day. There are still times that our income is higher than on what we usually expect.
There is no guarantee that he will get a profit from trading, since most likely the OP is a beginner and, accordingly, he lacks knowledge and experience. Accordingly, he is an easy prey for scammers, or he will be liquidated if he decides to increase his balance using margin trading.
So, what's the hurry? One shouldn't be in a hurry to earn money because that is an element of making one lose money and waste capital. Patience is needed for anything that you do which you want to have a positive outcome for you, so when you are getting involved with trading, you will need to first learn all the things that are necessary to become a successful trader, learn about the market, it's movements, the coins, and everything else that might be useful and needed.

So, a newbie with no experience and knowledge should first spend some time learning all these things instead of doing everything quickly only to get started and earn profits because it is not that easy to earn money even if you have money to invest, patience is the key, dedication and patience can do wonders for anyone working to achieve something.
703  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading tips that helpfull for beginners on: August 08, 2023, 12:39:20 PM
That’s certainly the reason why most beginners are not advised to engage in trading because they don’t even know how to start trading at a small amount. They often think that if they trade with small capital, the profits will not be worth the risk. But the reality is, all beginners should start trading at a smaller amount so that the risk of losing will be somehow manageable. Otherwise, if they conclude trading at a huge amount, the chances to lose is very high so once they trade and lose, they might find it hard to recover their losses and might not be capable of trading once again.
That is a very common problem with newbies traders, they want to win and they want their wins to be big and fast, and while there is nothing wrong with those desires, as who would not like for their trades to go their way, it is an unrealistic goal taking into account their level of skill, so they should start slow and use a very small amount of money on their trades so they can learn all what they can while minimizing their losses, but as you may guess those newbies do not really do this and they have to learn the hard way why trading is one of the most difficult ways to make money that exist.
Most newbies learn it the hard way, they either hear an influencer praising the cryptocurrency market and how profitable it can be for someone, or have seen a story of a person getting significant gains after investing in a meme coin, and they simply get excited after that and think that they can achieve great things in a very short period of time from here without knowing anything about or considering the risks involved with the investments.

They mostly lack the ability to do their own research, they expect a lot of things and don't see the negative aspects at all. Once they enter the market, take their first couple of trades, get some loss because they don't know much, that is when they come to know the reality that it is not as easy as they might have thought.

rightly he should bet on Barcelona even though the bookies have different speculations, I know what you mean. Grin
sometimes a lot of people have too much speculation just by looking at this pre-season match even though its not really their performance but its still in a trial period but for some reason people believe too much in this match.
if everyone might speculate against Real Madrid maybe I will also speculate that soon Mbappe will sign a contract with Real Madrid.
I agree that Barcelona still has a good chance, it looks like they have a player at every position that can play very well, whereas Real still missing a good striker and because they do not have a proper striker, someone like Benzema, that means that they miss too many chances, when you miss that many chances then you are not going to be able to get as many wins as you need to be the champions.

I think this season Barcelona will be the champions if they play well, they should be the champions if you ask me because they have everything they need. Real could be building a team that may end up with 10 league titles in a row with a few UCL titles along the way, but it's going to be next season, if Mbappe arrives, not right now.

Regarding Fofana, I still don't understand why Fofana accepted the offer to play at Al-Nassr. Although indeed, the main reason is about money but unfortunately, Fofana is still 28 years old which of course Fofana still has a long time to play at a big club in Europe. Moreover, next season Lens will also play in the Champion League and if Fofana still stays at Lens, then maybe later Fofana will get an offer at a big club in Europe. Too bad I guess, but regarding the Lens squad for next season, I personally don't expect too much the same results as in the last season. Because basically Lens is not a big team, which of course they can play in the Champion League next season is also a good achievement.
I also don't understand why Seko Fofana accepted play at Al Nassr, is it possible he doesn't believe with Lens in the Champions League, because their competition is also very difficult at there. Seko Fofana takes advantage of the opportunities that are in front of him by joining to Al Nassr, because him salary also is very large for him, if I'm not mistaken he will receive a salary 10 times from his previous salary at Lens. It's quite understandable actually, because maybe it's a golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed.
Few years back we have too much talk about country vs club, and now we have talked about money vs quality, so it's all about change of mindset nothing is open and all are playing for the money instead of game or personal desire same happen in this Fofana case his team qualify for the Champions League, and now he is already in Al Nassr for the huge salary and increased bonuses mean money is more important for the many players which are having quality and skills as well.

Different opinions about him but he has done right decision, and now he will take good salary and surely going to play quality game as well because early adopters al-times have better advantages in any case, so he also followed many big names which are already had their spots here in Saudi League.
706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: August 06, 2023, 07:00:41 PM
When Women are given rights and provided with equality, it is a must to let them gamble. Whether it is a men or women, both were from a family. It is bad that men gambling isn't shameful whereas Women spending into gambling activities make the family get ashamed. Another thing women are not much interested into gambling as men. Very little percentage were interested into gambling while the majority are much focused on casino and lottery based gambling.
Gambling has no gender restriction. It's just that more men are involved on the said activity. I think that is because they are mostly the ones who bring money in the table and the women or their wives are busy looking at the children, doing house chores and others.

Gambling is a risky activity so I think it's better to not influence our partner with it because we never know, they might get addicted and that can cause a whole lot of problems to our family. To say it's shameful has no gender biases but it will only depend on the nature of the person. It also depends on the people around us they can judge us easily if they think gambling is not a propriate activity.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 06, 2023, 03:44:01 PM
With the recent changes in Arsenal squad,I see the match unpredictable because I don't know their new strength to be able to withstand Man city pressure. I know that one side must win the match but I think that Man city is still the favourite to win the match. It is not that I am underestimating Arsenal, Pep is after trophies and will want to start the season with a victory. I am waiting patiently for the match to start so that I can stake on the game after my observation on the match
Man City have huge possession of the ball so far... It's too early to say anything about statistics because the match has just started... But Man City probably have a big advantage right now... It is not clear yet what Arsenal can do with their changes in the squad... If only they try to make a counterattack and can score... Still City are rightly favourites at the moment...
No doubt about Manchester City ball possession, but Arsenal is also doing impressive job and their aggression is amazing which creating good entertainment in this first match of the new season with this all action look like we are going to have amazing soccer in next season because all teams are having good level of quality and no one will allow his opponent to dominate.

After 35 minutes of the game both are level with 0 - 0 and even Manchester City was the hot favourite for this match but right now things are looking on level and most chances just one goal can decide about the result of this match.

We have 4 yellow cards and 3 corners in the first 35 minutes of the game, hopefully more action will be on the way until the end.
708  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the bull run near already? on: August 05, 2023, 03:46:08 PM
I think bull run doesn't seem to be happening in the near future, even today the market is red again so it touches $28k, of course this makes me not think too short term, the thing that might make a bull run is early 2024 because there will be a halving day.
The halving won't happen in early 2024, it is estimated to occur in April, or maybe May, so that is in the second quarter which can't be considered early in my opinion. Also, we shouldn't really be expecting the bull run to occur directly after the halving event, it will probably take some time after the event, so there will be some patience-testing going on after the halving occurs next year. I'm not really in a hurry, I feel it's better if it happens slowly after the halving.

However, the whole industry is currently waiting for these two things, first the halving, and then the long-anticipated bull run which is expected to take Bitcoin beyond the last all-time high which was $69k. A lot of people are expecting it to cross $100k this time, but we are going to wait and see.
709  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When it's all set and done, do not forget those in need. on: August 05, 2023, 01:16:01 PM
describing bitcoin this way makes it appears like ponzi scheme, as the investment of new commers are what is being used to pay the already existing customers on the platform, at the end of the day if they don't get new sign-up and people ready to fall victim of their scheme, you realize that the platform willl short down, where there are always people who pay for the rich of others, others get rich using the downfall of the next person, At the end of the day their is always a a winner and a losser.

But when it comes to bitcoin, We will always have those who are willing to buy and those who are willing to sell, and the value is determined by what the masses are willing to pay for it and based on its demand in the market.

Selling at any particular time is a choice; the same is also applicable to buying. If you decide to sell when the price is dumping and you happen to record some losses, that's on you, and the mistake that you made yourself shouldn't be shifted to others.
If we look at it this way, then we will feel that the whole world is based on a Ponzi scheme, every kind of trade in the world is done so that the buying party can take benefit from the trade when they sell later, and when the buyer is doing the trade, the seller is apparently already making the profit they once expected, that is how the world is running, we give benefit to someone and then get our benefit from someone else, but that is not exactly how a Ponzi scheme works.

In a Ponzi scheme, a single person or an entity takes money from both parties, and then that entity pays the one who has come first with what they get from the second person that the first person has brought to them, and that chain continues until the third-person who is receiving and processing the payments decides to run away with the money.
710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Who else uses move to earn apps for the same reasons I do? on: August 05, 2023, 06:21:24 AM
For a while, M2E projects went viral, and people started downloading these apps and shaking their phones like crazy!!
But honestly, I have not tried such applications because I am convinced that they are a waste of time? Does anyone really profit from it?
What's wrong in trying if there is any that doesn't require any investment from you? I mean, if there is a Move To Earn project that only requires you to download the app, set it up, and start walking or running and you will start earning tokens based on that. If the project is legit and the tokens are worth something, it's a win-win situation for you since you are getting fit in the process as well, but even if it turns out to be a scam, you've still got some exercise inspired by it.

However, as far as I remember, I think the first Move to Earn project that was named Step. I think it required users to buy some sneakers or something before they become able to earn money by talking or running, since I didn't do it myself so I don't know much but I think it had a business model like that.

6 seasons with Barcelona and in this transfer window Dembele officially left for Psg. Yes, this is a big surprise that happened in this transfer window because Dembele became one of the core players in the Barcelona squad who chose to go to PSG. Dembele, who was bought by Barcelona from Dortmund at a fairly high price, but his performance is not too impressive if we look at the statistics in his 6 seasons with Barcelona.

PSG have finally found a multi-talented player to support their strength in the next season. Dembele presence in Luis Enrique's squad will make their right wing even stronger in building attacks next season. Moreover, he will be a pretty good bait supplier for Asensio next season.
Surprise entry of Dembélé is surely big plus for the PSG because now they are feeling better and now having good striker which can give good support their all strategies and also Asensio can make good chemistry with player like Dembélé which is arrived and all were shocked even Xavi is also not happy with this all, but now they all have to accept this because this deal is done and Barcelona also agreed with this all as well.

Dembélé spend good time here at Barcelona even his performance is still in talk and mostly feeling he was not as par requirement but still things were good and favorable for the both parties and Barcelona were also feeling comfortable, but now this exit can bring any big change into Barcelona performance and can PSG go through for the better results in Champions League.
713  Economy / Economics / Re: Reason why you will never become rich on: August 03, 2023, 08:55:19 PM

Changing one's position is not the most important thing, living well with family is a very important thing. Money is not permanent, you have a lot of money right now, you may not have that money at some point, so it is never right to avoid family responsibilities just to increase money.

Having family obligations can be balanced with your daily life. The best way to support the family is not just about giving money but to offer real help to train members of the family to be independent and self reliant because money will finish some day or may not continue flowing like you said, so if you have succeeded in taking part of the family out of poverty earlier enough, when the money stop coming, you can also get a helping hand. Life is a circle and we have to move with it.
That is a possibility but only if your family members have enough education to be able to learn digital skills or be able to learn about any other skill that can help them get a job somewhere or at least start a business of their own but that will again require ample investment which they won't have initially. Also, if your family members consist only of females, then you don't really have that choice of making them financially independent because a lot of people wouldn't want their females to go out and work, I know it's a conservative thought but it does happen a lot.

Also, things like these only happen when you don't earn enough to feed both your own family which is your wife and children, and your other family which is your parents, grandparents, and siblings. If you earn a lot of money, you shouldn't have any issues feeding them as well.
714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: August 03, 2023, 01:38:04 PM
Real Madrid are only in need of a centre-forward now and after that they should be good to go. However there is no certain target that they are going after now. As Mbappe is likely to join them by next summer they will need to improve their attempts for another player. They had some targets before in fact.

However one by one all of their targets are getting close to be signed by other teams lately. For example Vlahovic was one of their targets and he is quite likely to sign for Chelsea in case there is an agreement on the fee. Kane is also about to sign for Bayern Munich soon.
Recent results clearly indicating Real Madrid needs to change their mind on Mbappé because if they fail to fill this surely things could be can go into wrong way for them in this season because they already lost their all desired players which are mentioned already and Mbappé is surely coming but as they want him as free agent this can give them trouble with central striker spot needs to be settled in last two games they have only one goal.
 
Vlahović could be also good alternative, but Juventus is now trying their best to swap him with Lukaku which is surely problem for the Real Madrid, and they have to do things in next few days if they want to have better results in both big competitions which are no few days away from start.
715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Buy more ETH..... on: August 02, 2023, 06:30:50 PM
Have bought some ETH last week but i don't know if there will be another progress in the next couple of months but i am not in a hurry because I know that this will take long before making it there or at least next year before it ends again.
Even if there will be any progress or not this year, the ultimate target is the bull run that will probably come after the halving even if that is next year, so buying now and holding until then is basically the first option one should think about unless they see a price that is profitable for them before that and they decide to sell the assets and wait for a dip again to buy more, but I wouldn't recommend doing that because we never know if the market will dip again or not.

So basically, if you are buying Ethereum or any other cryptocurrency right now, your first target should be the bull run from here and you shouldn't sell before that so that you can get significant profits from your purchases, otherwise, if you sell early, you might be in profit but it won't be much.

I saw his tweet recently, and he said something special is coming. Although many people feel disappointed and unhappy when the blue bird symbol is no longer available and replaced by the "X" logo. But I believe the shareholders of this social network will not care about that, what they care about is what Elon will do next to make them profitable and that is also what many people are expecting from Elon.

Many say he killed Twitter, which is true because he rebranded, but what the social network will look like in the future is still an exciting thing to see. I think it's too early to say anything as we all know Elon is a top businessman. Let's see what he will do.
Honestly, I was expecting something special to happen when he first took over, but things actually got a negative turn soon after that, the value of the company started going down, and so did the percentage of ad sales revenue, and it looked like the company is going towards a disaster, and now, this rebranding thing, naming the platform X all of a sudden without any prior information or anything, leaving everyone totally surprised and shocked.

A lot of us are really hoping that what he is thinking actually turns out to be good and doesn't make the users that remained with the platform run away and giving Thread by Meta and Mark more success since a lot of people will probably move there or simply start looking for another platform.

This is the message  that needs to be preached  more often especially  that more people think crypto investments have shorter lead times when it comes to return on investments!
And it gets worse with all these YouTube videos of how to get rich with crypto and scammers promising  to multiply our money in no time which makes the message of patience very difficult to sell...but like any viable investment, it needs time to mature and once ready we now can harvest our  profits so exercise some patience and let the markets do their thing Cool
The YouTube videos you are talking about and some social media handles of the so-called influencers are actually the main cause of the impatience among new investors in the cryptocurrency market. They watch those influencers teaching them how they can get a lot of money in a very short period of time, and they start thinking that the influencers are right and they buy the coins and tokens that they promote which they promote only to get paid by their teams.

This is exactly why newbies are always advised to never trust anyone that they read or watch on the internet and always do their own research before making any financial investments because there are a lot of scammers and liars in the internet space that are always looking for victims that are easy targets.
718  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My easy way to teach your kids bitcoin. on: August 01, 2023, 03:45:29 PM
while you have an ongoing plan for your child, that's okay, it's your right as a parent to educate your child in any way, but I think getting used to giving gifts every time your child obeys you might become a bad habit going forward.
In my opinion, giving access to YouTube to children can also make children addicted to looking at cellphones. when my child was small I preferred to focus on training my child's motor skills by inviting him to play offline instead of watching videos online.
I will teach my child if he understands and understands finances.
Everyone should teach their children about what's right for them and what they need to know, but they need to do it according to their age, so please, let your children grow older first and then teach them about finances, cryptocurrencies, or anything else, and let them enjoy their childhood with things that they will remember for their whole life, spend as much time with them as you can, and make them do things that they enjoy which are not harmful or addictive for them.

I totally understand that it's a good thing if kids get to learn about things that they will need in future from an early age, but that early age shouldn't be too early, I mean we should ruin their childhood just because we want them to know and learn about Bitcoin and other financial tools and activities.
719  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: People with quick rich attitude always mess up with alt coins on: August 01, 2023, 12:39:09 PM
Yes, that's what I did when I was a novice. When an altcoin started to rise a lot, I had the psychology of not being able to make a profit. I remember a little about what Safemoon did, and it's pretty doubtful that it will ever happen again. At times, some tokens get pretty much inflated by whales. Like I said, they may not always do this. Too much greed in altcoins causes loss of money, this has always been so.
Following that movement will also let to fall into a trap, thinking that you will be making a decent amount of profits without knowing that the whales are just playing around.

Always have that mindset to do your research and balance the possibility of making money over losing it
with each trading or investment participation that you are doing, make sure that you have that time to
continue learning and not being attached to a quick money process that mostly being misunderstood.
Greed makes us lose money, it's as simple as that. We can always get some profit and exit the market even if the whales are playing around, but only if we don't get greedy and start thinking that we will get more profit and exit at the right time before the price starts to crash again, but that doesn't happen because it is not possible for anyone to perfectly time the market and on top of that, how would we know if the whales have already got what they wanted and now they will dump the market?

So it is always better to simply sell and exit when you are already in profit if you are trading altcoins, because if you didn't exit at the right time and it starts crashing, you won't be able to get any profit and you might even end up losing some of your invested capital if you don't sell quickly.
720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 01, 2023, 11:44:03 AM
Based on UEFA Champion League winner history there are not any teams yet success winning back to back except Real Madrid success win three time in a row, I doubt with Manchester City has chance for winning two time in a row for Champion League tittle. For next season, Manchester City leaves by Ikay Gundogan and Ryan Mahrez although the second name is not main squad for Manchester City but Ikay Gundogan is most important player with Champion League tittle contribution.

Achievement winning Champion League last season based on how smart tactic from Pep Guardiola, not depend on one player exactly when Erling Haaland get huge pressure still have player on second line for scoring goals. If Pep Guardiola tactic for next season still the same has chance for winning back UCL but its not easy.
Right now, talking about title race is too early even Manchester City is still one of the best to defend their title but as changes are happening around the clubs we can expect any serious challenger in coming days as well which can create problems for them like if we have Harry Kane in Bayern Munich then surely things could be not easy for any team to handle them and same case can go for the Real Madrid if they are able to bring Mbappé then surely their strength could be at the top, and they can go through for another title easily same happening for the few other teams which are working on their squads and fixing their holes which hurt them in last season.

Pep Guardiola is surely currently one of the best in business and his tactics are surely giving them good success but leaving top players surely can hurt their performance, and they can also face problems with we all know Champions League is never easy to predict its nature is always unpredictable.
