I think, PSG can qualify for the semifinals also only because of luck because in the second leg Barcelona only played with 10 players but anyway, the reality is that PSG always falls behind first. So, if for example PSG no longer get the same luck for the second leg against Dortmund later, then PSG will also still fail. But indeed, as a home team in the second leg later, PSG will still have a chance to win because of course, the 1-0 aggregate is really a score that is not entirely safe. So indeed, I also admit that PSG still has a chance to win but for some reason, I think Dortmund will still be able to maximize the aggregate victory it has.

Despite playing with 10 against 11, Barcelona defended with good effort, it took a lot of time for PSG make those goals they scored after the red card. I just think that PSG nerve lose a single game to Dortmund from their last 5 games played at home, I'm expecting them to repeat the same performance here as well, because if they can be bold enough to only defeat only a goal when they visited Dortmund, they can shame Dortmund by the time they visit their home.

There has been some news about Mpape one house of an ex footballer in Spain, that means his move to Real Madrid is still certain but before then, I want to see how the reactions is going to look like by the time he win the Champions League. I want to see the reaction on the faces of Madrid when the player they desire so much take a league title before them.

Football can be unpredictable most times. And for now, Arsenal is lucky to be on top of the league table because Manchester City still have one outstanding game ahead to play. I don't know why but am having this strong feeling that Arsenal might lose tomorrow against Bournemouth and the reason is because the Mikel Arteta and Andoni Iraola are kind of partners once and they know a little about how the both of them think when it comes to game like this. Arteta might use what he knows about Iraola against him in the match tomorrow. However, i am predicting the match a goal goal match where both teams will score before the end of the game.

There is nothing for Arsenal to be lucky about, I will assume they are temporarily occupying the top of the standing, if Manchester City should play their 35th match to meet up with what other teams has played, Arsenal return to their original place and I don't want to think such will be difficult for Manchester City, wolves and Fulham are minor in this games right now for Guardiola to mount his boys on them, they are just too qualified to do that unless football happen but I doubt if that's possible.

I don't know what the future hold for Arsenal but I will motivate them to continue playing and not to lose any match from here. If they draw a match from her or lose, they have lose the Premier League for this season for good but if they keep playing, who knows one team might actually pull unusual of Chelsea to them and make Arsenal dream comes true.

Experience is never the age limits anyone can go into casino house to learn is as much as that person is of age then he is allowed to go play casino with this process they can be learning as well without anyone stopping them, the major concerned should be are they of age or not, if they are not then should be block and restricted from entering that house to play casino.
Children of nowadays are becoming too smart by trying to involved themselves in everything people are doing due to their rapid growth.

This is not about age and experience, it's about the law. Just because children are becoming an adult, you will see a 16 years old child looking like a 22 years old or even more and if you try to make any sexual life with them, you will go to jail because they are just minor, it's the same thing with gambling. Allowing a minor to gamble when they are not in the age bracket will look like you are exploiting them because they are not supposed to be their yet they allow them to play.

A child doesn't have the mind to take pain like an adult, a child aren't good in making decisions because there are some they would make that might not be the best for them, this is why a guardian is needed when necessary. You might think is not by experience but adulting has everything to do with gambling, you don't know how dumb a minor can be even when you think they are smart in making decisions.

$1,500 to return nearly $100,000, the Milwaukee Bucks are the last leg, would you cash out for just over 50% of the payout or let it ride? Let me know below. I cannot properly hedge this parlay so I can either cash out or let it ride.



I hope that the last game wasn't a mistake right? I have check from the top of the screenshot games to the last one, only the remaining one has big odd, the 3 odd and the rest has only 1.xx, that's means that the game chosen is skeptical, something is not right about about that game but if he sure of what he chosed, then he is good to go, there is nothing absolutely to be scared about, just make the call and be gallant about it.

However, if it's me that has this kind of opportunity, damn I'm cashing out because I have zero greed in me, unless I have seen this kind of event many times, I wouldn't let go because the only thing that would be ringing in my head right now would be what if? What if? What if? If I eventually lose this game and refuse to cashout, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself.

You should probably see how Chelsea have performed so far and of course the performance is very different from what you say. Chelsea dominated the game and so far they have a 1-0 lead over Tottenham. Of course they are eager to have a great performance at home without mistakes, but this may still change considering the first half is not over yet.

I'm impressed with Chelsea performance today but what is the used of this outcome when they didn't allow Tottenham to make a follow for Aston Villa, Chelsea will literally go no where with this performance, they will come to 8th place to stay ahead of WestHam but what will happen next time when they meet with WestHam in their next match, they will flopp it up again and blame Pochettino for their misfortunes later.

Quote
Chelsea built more attacks and they created many opportunities. Tottenham still had difficulty penetrating Chelsea's defense until the 40th minute, but I think it's still too early to say Chelsea can win at home. Trevoh Chalobah scored a goal, it was his first goal in the Premier League this season.

In all of what I have seen with Chelsea this season, there is something I'm wanting so bad for Chelsea and it's for Cole Palmer to win the golden booth this season. Haaland is only 1 goal ahead of him and today been another lucky day for Chelsea, he has not score any goal today but I hope it come soon. Even if they don't get the chance to be at the top of the table, they might have that one to use a show off for the season to complement their wack performance.
86  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online casino gambling is more of profit chasers while land base is more of fun on: May 01, 2024, 07:37:27 PM
What is your opinion towards my research that online casino gambling has more of possesed players who stakes to make profits while the land base gambling is more of players who stakes for funs?

This is subjective, I can gamble right on my bed and have the fun that I wanted, I'm not the type that like crowded environments when I want to gamble because I like to think and it make me feel better and important decisions are straightforward to make than when I'm in a place where everyone is doing the talking, some people will be shouting and since there is no order, you can't tell others what to do and what not to do.

However, land base casino is fun when you have some friends around. You can hangout with your friends and Shar ideas about gambling, sometimes not just your friends you can see someone good with skills in gambling more than you do and can share some ideas with you which can't be done in an online casino. If you are online bettor, you might even jam someone who has higher skills in match predictions than you do.

With the current performance of Manchester United this season in the Premier League, Manchester United can't beat Arsenal at Old Trafford. Arsenal will not want to drop another point in the Premier League because it will affect them in the race for this season's Premier League title. Arsenal has already made the same mistake they made last season that cost them the Premier League when Aston Villa defeated them at Emirate Stadium.

I want to be believe you as well, I want to believe that Arsenal can take down Manchester united without putting much effort but I don't think the United I know will allow this guys to go for free, it's when you least expect something good from them you will see the soar high. I hope they don't destroy the winning steak Arsenal are bringing after their numerous losses against Bayern and Aston Villa, a lost from moment from now is going to stop Arsenal from becoming the Champions.

Manchester City are still serious but my mind if telling me that Tottenham is going to be there nightmare, no way they are going to allow Manchester City to go scot free, they have win some matches against them. If the can just lose this one, then the assurance of Arsenal has just been double, they can actually win this league even by a small margin of points.
88  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 01, 2024, 07:06:10 PM
Seems not any rumor yet Barcelona will sell Robert Lewandowski at the next window transfer opening, actually he had good performance in this season with Barcelona after becoming top scorer teams by scoring 16 goals and 8 assists of 30 matches in La Liga. Indeed has bigger offering from Saudi Arabia I doubt Robert Lewandowski will offer for leaving European team and he want play on the higher level competition around one or two season later.

It's too early to speak about is future with Saudi Arabia, it's like saying he is due but look at his performance for Barcelona this season, there is no any team that come close to what he has done. If they should sell him, they would definitely has a replacement, they can't improvised like the way Real Madrid were able to cope when Benzema their only striker left for Saudi Arabia.

Quote
Robert Lewandowski's contract runs until 2026 and Barcelona has two years left before selling him to other team if won't become free agent, I think recruit new striker need time for adapting and I doubt will score more goals than first appearance Robert Lewandowski with Barcelona success becoming top scorer.

I think clubs are always careful when it comes to signing of players, Lewandowski for example extended his contract to 2026 and for them to come to this agreement, they obviously want him to stay so they aren't selling him under any circumstances and if they want to change their mind as usual, they don't have the intention to let him go as a free agent, they want to make some money from him since he is one of their most paid players, no way he would go like that without the club fain anything.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: May 01, 2024, 06:56:03 PM
Upon all those sources and explanation, I still need the community input on the argument to know if gambling is a HOBBY so that I and the person will understand more.
Cheers.

Gambling can be considered as hobby, it's something you do at your leisure time, when you are free and feel like doing and you don't see it as been forced or do when you don't have an interest but on the other hand, calling gambling a hobby is subjective to individuals. If not that money is actually involved in gambling, some people would never have gamble for once in their life, they don't like the stress of trying to win the house or make list of matches but because of the money, the just have to do it especially when they win most often.

Some situations where you see someone with debts as a result of gambling all the time, I don't think that can be considered as hobby, someone that is addicted with debts around his next can't be considered as hobby, that one is force because they are only trying to make money in their head, forcing the luck that may never come and be worried all the time, that's not a hobby thing to do.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: May 01, 2024, 06:48:54 PM
Most rich people are into gambling not mainly to earn money but for other reasons. Hence, they don't have the desire to gamble all the time. They usually select what game or sports they will venture into. In most cases, the sports they are passionate about. But for most gamblers in the middle class or poor, as long as they see good opportunity, they will bet on it.

But for those people who gamble just because they want to earn money, gambling will be detrimental to their small money left.

No way! I refused to believe your first paragraph. It's like you are saying rich people goes into business because they don't like money but because they just want to make the money, that's not true. Gambling is place primary for making money, any one can change their opinion but that's the truth and nothing but then truth. However, a rich person might be playing for fun and less motivation for money like the way a poor person would have in the first place.

If the casino are doing it for free, I'm sure they would by now be out of the he business, they are there to make money because they spend money on marketing to get your attention, they pay you when you win and they get paid when you lose and that's how it work continuesly until you either win them or you lose everything to them.

92  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why you should only hold Bitcoin on: April 28, 2024, 08:34:17 PM
What I am ultimately getting at here in the theme of my post is that there is no other coin besides Bitcoin, which you can trust can be held over the long term. What are your thoughts?

You said a lot of paragraph but to me, you didn't say anything because holding Bitcoin isn't just all that, people hold Bitcoin because it's less risky when you look at it with other altcoins and it's mor more secure but you are saying another validations. People buy Bitcoin because it doesn't depend on other coins decisions but on its own, rest assure that if you hold Bitcoin in a year after halving you are likely to get a return under standard condition of markets.

However, altcoins are very risky, you are likely to lost your money invested if you are not proactive in your research and you might get scam aside from looking at what the market altcoin does. People don't feel safe when it comes to other coins but Bitcoin win this in every aspect which is why it remained the best coin over the years cryptocurrency has been in existence.
93  Economy / Economics / Re: Do you think Bitcoin can end poverty? In a nation today on: April 28, 2024, 08:21:56 PM
Do you think that dollar can end poverty? Bitcoin is just a currency, and was designed for nothing other than that. Don’t mistake the volatility as an intentional thing wherein you can “invest”. People are investing in Bitcoin but that’s far from its purpose, and the government is likely happy because they don’t want people to understand the power of Bitcoin when used as a currency. Bitcoin can’t end poverty, no currency can Smiley

Despite all you said, we can see the likes of Blackrock today investing billions into Bitcoin and encouraging people to buy more and what do you think is the purpose of that? To double their wealth and grow higher than where they are currently but I'm not sure the same goes with a poor person. They don't have the capital to even invest, if it was then that the price was low, they might still have the chance but I'm not sure if that will be possible with todays price of Bitcoin, this is to say that the rich continue to be reach while the poor continue to be poor.

Then when the price used to be low, there are money that would be easier to make with the help of its volatility, imagine having nothing and then you bough $10 worth of Bitcoin in 2012 and you just found you have access to the wallet, there is no way yiu will remain poor after that discovery. I just think that it's right now that Bitcoin is serving it's purpose, you can make money from it if yiu don't have huge amount of money.
94  Economy / Economics / Re: It's better to invest now than to regret it in a hospital bed. on: April 28, 2024, 08:10:17 PM
Congratulations to those who have already planned to invest and those who have Bitcoin investments and hope you will hold your investment for long time but to those who are still planning to invest I would advise you to invest in Bitcoin even if you think about your future. If we can invest now thinking about the future then this investment will be very useful for us at a stage in the future which we may not be able to imagine now.

If I don't does that means that my life has been fuck? Just know that even if you give some people free money to buy Bitcoin, many of them will spend the money on things they need and want, they wouldn't spend a single cent on Bitcoin, this is to tell you that not everyone will be a fan of Bitcoin nor be moves by the gains here, some people are in this same forum that has never hold Bitcoin before in their life and you can't blame them because they chose not to hold.

There are many ways to make money, Bitcoin is just one of it and perhaps the most quick way to make money on the internet but not everyone will famz it as a priority investment. There are people that are going to watch Bitcoin price grow from here and form a new all time and they will not invest. Some people are like that and you can't change anything about it and that doesn't mean they would cry later, they might even be doing better in other investment than you because of their capital powers.
95  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If all your wages were paid in USDT, would you accept it? on: April 28, 2024, 08:01:57 PM
If your salary was not US dollars, but USDT, would you dare to ask for it? Although USDT can facilitate transfers and cross-border payments, thinking about the fluctuations and risks makes me feel a little panicked! It can’t be used everywhere in daily life, What do you think? Come and chat!

What do you mean by fluctuation? You mean depegging from US dollar value?
Let's do some fact check how many times USDT has depegged from US since they went life since 2014.



This is a chart of USDT since it was launched back in 2014 to now, it has depegged from USD price to $0.6 and that has something do with the authenticity of their audit regarding usd in the vault and the USDT printed, there was trust then but people has learn to trust USDT, they are the oldest and far the largest in term of market cap.

I'm not sure about other stable coin but USDT remain the best stable coin to use in crypto and yiu shouldn't have anything to fear using it, getting paid as a medium of exchange and also to hold value.
96  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Best Exchanges Nowadays on: April 28, 2024, 07:51:13 PM
Used to be super active but got burned by most of the old closures (Cryptsy, btc-e, Bter, etc), so where is the best place to trade nowadays?  I have a Coinbase account already along with Kraken but not sure of other options that may be better.  Thanks!

If you need to know more about live exchanges(centralized), you should make use of Coingecko to check all active ones, they have their ratings included in 10/10 but in not sure which one is the best but I believe the ones that have 10/10 ratings and 9/10 ratings have huge liquidity and you can make exchange most of the top coins without any problem.

Try and do some comaprism with volumes too, sometimes exchanges tend to display huge number of volume from the exchange but sometimes they are from wash trading, so make the comparison with coingecko or coin market cap to see the real volume, they have a way of generating the real volume from exchanges using API, you will know quickly the exchange that is into wash trading and the ones that are into real trading, even decentralized that used bots, you can use this method to fish out wash trading platforms.

97  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading is not a lifetime job. on: April 27, 2024, 08:14:51 PM
I'm sure not all traders will agree with me but some could possibly be on my side...

Here are the reasons why;
 1. It is quite stressful - old traders will soon give up due to mental health problems
 2. It is not enjoyable anymore - nobody will stay long in a job that they no longer find themselves comfortable with especially if you are not earning well.
      Most of the time we feel this during bear season.
 3. Trust issue due to Scam growth - traders never find it safe to use exchanges, even big exchanges.

You are wrong with your assumptions. I don't know for crypto traders but I know for sure that we have forex who took their time and trade from morning to evening and they do this everyday to make money from trading, now why do you think so or because of your questions? Alright, I will answer to best of my knowledge.

1. You are into signature campaign in this forum and you voluntarily do it so you get paid, it's stressful and yet you do it every week so you can get paid but you are here saying trading stressful. There is nothing in this life that isn't stressful, even stealing something that is not yours is stressful isn't.

2. I will still use your signature to answer this as well. Doing mandatory posts might look enjoyable but you do it any ways so you get paid, I hope I have answered this one too.

3. Your last question tells you don't understand trading. Trading is different from buying coins, what you just described is buying of coins and not trading.
98  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ethereum will still be my choice this year. on: April 27, 2024, 06:53:27 PM
Making Ethereum your choice is not a bad idea but hope your ready and willing to accept whatever maybe the outcome, we know they have a very strong team but that doesn't mean you should trust them because anything can happen, I know you have done your analysis but sometimes our analysis can be wrong I mean it may be far from what the team is planning. Like I said in my previous post investing in big coins is always a long term investment unless there is a change in the coin behavior.

What do you mean by trusting the team? Don't you know that ethereum has been around for more than 9 years! Despite the fact that crypto are risky and the teams are also risky, Ethereum and Vitalik Buterin is the least person that would scam you, there is nothing to fear about the team. They have more update and many things from their road map for 2024 and I think it's a better choice of investment for 2024.

If you are considering ethereum as a primary coin to buy, I suggest you to try coins that are highly groomed by ethereum team as well, I mean projects that are supported by ethereum foundations like the Optimizm, Arbitrum. These projects are well engineered by the ethereum team and are working hand in hand to support ethereum network, they have utility on their own and has on ethereum as secondary layer.
99  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The rate of abandoned projects on solana on: April 27, 2024, 05:22:05 PM
From my research I found out that Solana is referred to as high-speed blockchain network, but recently, from my experience it has been for entirely different reason, the network has being at the heart of an unprecedented meme coin frenzy.

It's just a place for their new place to feed, there is nothing spectacular about been a fast network and meme going there. We once had meme of Ethereum and that faded away after some time and we still have Shiba Inu and then BNB became the new place where floki Inu and many came and faded away and now Solana is just another one that will soon fade away.

Quote
Several meme coin projects I bought on Solana has rugged me my hard earn money and a lot of projects are succumbing to rug investors and crypto lovers.

This is nothing new, rug pulls and exit scams happen in many projects, just that people are too greedy to.lool beyond what they see from profits that's why they get scammed. If they had learn form onset, Solana had many rug projects when FTX collapsed but I'm surprised how they were bullish on Solana all of a sudden.

Quote
Yet Solana Blockchain network is paying insipid attention to it or no process of verifying a real project before launch. They give room for every one to launch on their network where by bringing fake or scam projects onboard. And I begin to think otherwise, if they really don't know about all this scam projects.
I stand to be edify as I'll be looking out for your opinion in this thought.!

Solana is a open network, they don't control what people launch on the network and they don't control the scams. Their activities even make sol price to increase, anything that happen is on who buy and who wish to invest. It's better you run your own research before you throw money on any shot coin.
100  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Post halving, why are altcoins the most affected on: April 27, 2024, 05:00:08 PM
Bitcoin halving might have come and gone, but we won't forget the immediate impact it had on the crypto market especially altcoins, The immediate impact of the halving this year is not like business as usual when we always have a bull run after the halving event, we are experiencing a decline in price in Bitcoin and the crypto market in general with altcoins the most affected, some altcoins witnessed a 50% decline in price, while most experienced a slight decline in price,  Analytically some investors have predicted a bull run by next year which will also in turn affect the rise in price of some altcoins too, so putting this into consideration there are few altcoins to put our eyes on so we can Hodl which is the ETH and DOGE as they might experience a significant bull run in less than no time,

For every action, there must be an equal reaction you know that right. When Bitcoin was pumping and making moves by 10%, major altcoins where moving on 5x the movement of Bitcoin, now that Bitcoin is falling, you think they are going to moves in shadow like the way Bitcoin is having low volatility? It doesn't work that way, altcoins tend to move down faster the way they move up because they have high volatility.

Altcoins are more risky because of their high volatility, this is why they can do any movement, you can see how meme coins were making 100% in just a week and you expect them to make 5% correction when coming downward, it wouldn't because the way people fomo to buy is the way people fomo to sell, Bitcoin doesn't get a lot of sell pressure like altcoins.

Don't forget that majority of altcoins are shitcoins that are just dump and pump coins, investing is such kind of coins are nothing but disaster, the earlier you ignored, the better for you and your health.
