81  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 16, 2024, 02:28:32 PM
Initially I was quite doubtful about PSG because PSG this season played less than optimally in the Champions League group stages. We could see they almost lost their spot in the round of 16. If it weren't for the goal difference from Milan, maybe PSG would fail to qualify for the next round and PSG would still have luck this season and still fighting in the Champions League and it turns out that PSG was able to take advantage of this opportunity well so that they don't make mistakes like before I'm happy that finally PSG is on the winning path against Real Sociedad, it's not easy but PSG was able to beat them in this first leg.

Yes, I hope that in the second leg PSG will win again or at least maximize the draw so they can still qualify for the next round, it is difficult for Real Sociedad to be able to break through PSG defense by more than 2 goals because PSG defense is very strong at the moment and they don't want to stop here of course, especially since Mbappe want to show his best before he leaves PSG.
No doubt too many concerns about PSG performance specially while they were in group stage matches things were not going into their way, but they have done good job and now having good advantage which is going to help them for having good win in coming matches but here mostly members are not talking about Real Sociedad which is also now on decline with having no goal in their last five games is surely worst every from top tier team in La Liga as we have things in this first leg match now we can feel PSG is surely going to be in next round because they can handle this all in Spain for the second leg game if Real Sociedad is still going to play like this but still they need to improve their finishing which is surely problem for them.

In first leg having difference of two goals is good against a team which is now down and most chances they are not going to have any fair chance for the jumping again at the top level with their performance and quality which is having no improvement.

Financial education helps people to live better life with what is available. Most of the people doesn't have the understanding about financial management and they just earn spend and then borrow to fulfill their needs. At some point they don't have anything left to meet unexpected needs. This is all because of improper management. If a person had financial education, automatically he will focus on keeping aside a big part for savings and investment and with the left behind he/she will manage the day or month's need.
I agree with you about financial literacy having a great impact on one's expenditures and overall financial decisions because when you know how to manage such things properly, you will create a budget for the whole month and then spend your money according to that so you don't overspend the money on anything and manage to use the money for the whole period without needing to borrow money to cover the monthly expenses of yourself and the household.

However, when we talk about savings and investments, that is only possible if a person is earning way above their monthly expenditures which means that after making their budget and deducting the money from the salary, they would still have funds left that they can use for savings and investments.
83  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the most underrated sport? on: February 16, 2024, 11:02:52 AM
Have you ever heard about Sepak Takraw? It's  like volleyball but instead of using hands players kick a ball over a net using their feet, knees, chest or head. It's played with a small ball made of rattan. Usually there are two teams, with three players on each team. The goal is to kick the ball over the net in a way that makes it hard for the other team to kick it back. I haven't placed any bets on this sport since I don't know if there's one available to bet on.
What about local betting? Is it available? This sports exist in our country too but I don't hear a bookie that supports it. Maybe for now, we can only ask our friends, classmates, family members, co-workers, etc... if they want to gamble with us using this sports and since it was like a friendly betting, not only money can get involved but it can also be food, doing their chore or school assignments, and for some they will hurt the other physically but not in a brutal way of course.

Sepak Takraw must be a kind of local sport so I don't think mainstream online sports betting sites will support them but it's a very cool sport and this is why it was underrated.
84  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you quit gambling for a friend? on: February 16, 2024, 06:24:41 AM
Of course I stop if it's for my friend's good, but that's not necessary because our friend can of course access it at any time if he wants, it requires close supervision, only self-awareness is the most important thing.
That's the point, though one or the whole group of friends become ready to sacrifice their game nights and gambling activities when they are together for the friend who is vulnerable to gambling and might get addicted if they do it more, it wouldn't make any sense or change his mindset when his friends aren't around anymore because they definitely don't live together and the person getting addicted to gambling will still have access to gambling when he is alone.

So it's not about what friends do when they are together, but it's about how self-aware each one of them is so that no matter what they do when they have a get-together, they should have enough patience and self-control they don't make a habit out of the activities they have done together as friends.
85  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: February 15, 2024, 02:08:52 AM
Not rocket science, saving. It's discipline. Instead of that extra luxury today, it's choosing stability tomorrow. Yes, they're watching you while you study, but that's no reason to relax. Now is the time to study and grow. Financial literacy? It's essential. Investing? Start young, profit later. Never wait for a crisis to understand your unpreparedness. The future? You have it; use it. Being proactive, not reactive. Not only making money, but sensible choices
Well, saving is only possible when you have or earn enough resources available. A person with a limited income cannot save anything even if they have discipline and financial literacy because when you don't have more money than you need, you won't be able to spare any and when you can't do that, it means no savings for you.

It's a blessing if one can start saving money at a young age because such people always have a bright future. When you are saving money while you are still young, you will have a good enough sum to build your assets when you grow older, and having assets means a better future.

So things like these are not possible for everyone, and those who can do them are guaranteed to have a great life ahead.
86  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why in some religion gambling is forbidden? on: February 15, 2024, 01:25:32 AM
When we talk about religion we cannot dine the forbidden things like alcohol, prostitution and many other things in this topic we will discuss why do gambling is forbidden (Haram, interdit) .
So can you tell me why is it forbidden in your religion?
And for the non religious persons what you think ?
As said by others, I think it's only Islam where gambling is forbidden and the most basic reason for this that I know of is that it's a means of transferring wealth for no reason, which promotes injustice because when you win a certain amount in gambling, it's the money of someone that has lost it to the house. So if you are making a bet worth $100k, and if you win it, you get the money that has been lost by other gamblers which is injustice in its actual meaning.

Other than this, it promotes violence, ruins lives, and most importantly, it is addictive and something that is addictive, it tends to make people use it excessively, and when people become excessive gamblers, they lose everything and some of them might start doing wrong things to get money so that they can gamble with it.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: February 14, 2024, 04:44:06 PM

I'm not sure if Feynoord is stronger than AS Roma because they are in a different level of leagues. I still assume AS Roma is stronger because they are in a more competitive domestic league. I believe De Rossi will succeed to win the match against Feynoord and qualify for the next round.
When Roma was with Mourinho, I thought Feyenoord was stronger than Roma. However, after being coached by De Rossi and seeing their match against Inter Milan, I think Roma are now strong enough and can bet on them. They were able to appear very solid. Even though they conceded 4 goals, they also managed to score 2 goals. And I think it's normal because Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A this season and they are far above Feyenoord's level. I think the match will be very interesting because Roma are already a better team than when they were in the previous group stage.
I disagree here because AS Roma won three games against weaker sides with lost against Inter Milan even they play good, but now they are going to face Feyenoord which is having good performance in Eredivisie and their quality is also at his best which is giving them good edge this could be another test case for the De Rossie which is now going to have his fifth match as Roma coach and if they are able to win then surely we can expect better things in coming weeks because they need to be win games after playing better but if they again lost then surely things could be not improved after exit of José Mourinho.

First match is going to be played in the Netherlands which is surely interesting no we will have how things are going to be happened for the Roma can they do improvement under De Rossi, or we are going to have same results like we have in the past.
88  Economy / Gambling / Re: I've Made Millions abusing Exploit in a Crypto Casino - AMA on: February 14, 2024, 03:23:05 PM
how did you do it?

everybody will doubt about you making millions exploiting a crypto casino actually. those guys will ban any account if they notice suspicious activity. so when you say you got millions, does it mean you got tons of BTC withdrawn from the casino or is it because of the bullrun that you have trade it to usd already that your millions?
If ever this is legit, it's going to change him and other hackers because after this, the casinos are now aware of their methods but this seems not a big deal to OP since he said he already made $1M from doing it and he said he made it in 2014, so no, he didn't waited for the huge bull runs but imagine if he did? He could even be a trillionaire or more now. If the casino bans the OP, he can just create a brand new account and do that again, so the only way for the casino to prevent the same occurrence is when they improve their website's security.

this is a legitimate question i think so we're waiting for it. you'd probably get more questions after answering this question which i believe is what you wanted which is to be asked.
There are questions already that are being thrown before this post of yours and this thread was still new but once many noticed it, I'm sure it will be flooded since it was an interesting topic.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling mistake repeated by the gamblers on: February 14, 2024, 03:31:25 AM
The greedy rule the gambler after the gambler get the greedy to reach the maximum profit.The gambler should satisfy with the minimum profit,So the greedy doesn’t conquer the gambler.Many gamblers who get the greedy had loss huge money in the gambling site.The reason for the gambler loss is the high bet will be made for each betting to conquer the biggest profit.The high betting will leads to high loss in the gambling site,if the luck is not the output for the gambler.If the gambler had made the money by the high betting once,then the gambler will do the same again and again to get the big money from the high betting in the gambling site.
Yes, that's a common mistake a lot of gamblers commit when gambling, they start with small bets, but if they try a bigger betting amount once and manage to win the bet and see how much money they can win with large bets, they will think of doing that again and again because it can make them win more money in less time, which, of course, isn't a great way to think about gambling since it is completely based on luck and one can always lose all the bets and if the bet stakes are high, the gambler will be out of money in no time.

However, some people don't get it, they say they can win a lot with higher bets, but they simply ignore the fact that if you can win quickly with higher bets, you will also lose your money quickly this way and that isn't a wise thing to do.
90  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: You lose more when you over trade on: February 14, 2024, 12:54:54 AM
We lose more if we lose control of our trade. It is for the newbies to think that trading success never happens just one day, so we don't need to stay on the computer all day and continue trading. But this is not just time management, we also consider proper funds management where we use to spend our money and trade using potential coins, not these shitcoins. Being guided by what we have to do will save us from major losses and failures. We make a habit of being more careful and think twice before taking action especially when we are still learning as it is not necessarily we have to commit mistakes before we learn.
Fund management could be as or even more important as time management. Too many people spread their money around like it's nothing, you should instead focus on rare but solid trades and that would make you money. There are way too many people who are taking way too much risk with stuff just to spread their horizon, and that is not the best way to trade.

Someone who trades with 40 pairs doesn't really guarantee more success over someone who trades only 3 pairs, it's more about finding the right one. I think people are putting too much emphasis on silly stuff and forget that they should do something that will benefit them while also making them feel comfortable, if you are dealing with more than you can, that would not be easy at all.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: February 13, 2024, 05:55:23 PM
It was a very tough struggle but it ended happily and benefited Real Madrid by winning an additional 3 points. The team was able to shift the position of Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. With this victory, Real Madrid is in first place after being able to shift Girona to second place with 61 points in the standings. . Barcelona did not take good advantage of Girona's defeat because this season they played very badly, different from last year, this season Barcelona often lost 5 matches. but unexpectedly they were lucky by beating Granada and bringing Barcelona to the top of the standings at that time.
However, in the end, Barcelona must accept the fact that Squat Real Madrid is currently a very good team this season and it is possible that if they remain consistent in defense and show good play then I think Real Madrid will be able to become champions. in that match. Spanish League this season.
Looking at how they got an easily win that makes me think of how great they are to be fair, because they beat their closest opponent with such ease, I think that's a big deal. Girona never held a chance at that game, look at how better Girona played against Barcelona, historically one of the most successful teams in that league and last years title winners, whereas Real Madrid just easily breezed past Girona without a trouble.

All in all I have to say the title is all but decided right now, Real Madrid will be crowned the champions. Because we are still early in the season we do not have the mathematical guarantee yet, but the more weeks go by and we will see Real getting inch by inch closer to be crowned, and I guarantee you that it will be before the last game as well.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How my gambling life started. on: February 13, 2024, 05:12:22 PM
I and all my cousin friends used to play cards, but I don't remember having actual stakes on it it just used to be normal games for fun and passing the time when we used to have school holidays which is when cousins and all family members usually reunite.

My gambling experience as a kid was when we started playing pool for money. It used to be a unique sort of game, an 8-ball game where a bunch of people play with equal amounts of money at stake. Each player is given a number that other players don't know about, and each player is also given a serial number for which player will play at which number.

A player with 1st number starts the game. The game is that you need to pocket the number that you have, for example, if you get number 7, you have to pocket it to win all the money, and any other ball that you pocket if a player has that number, he is out of the game. If someone else pockets your number before someone has won the game, you are out.

It's a fun game, and it is how I started my gambling journey.
93  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betting without losing your money/no need for deposit on: February 13, 2024, 04:15:25 PM
Speaking about faucets then we do know that this is something that won't really be that ideal on making it or having thoughts that you could make money though it.For testing then yes on which this has been its usage since in the first place.
Faucets these days are good for nothing, it was the good old days when you could get a bunch of tokens and coins from a faucet though the prices of those tokens and coins used to be way lower than they are today, but overall, faucets rewards are not even a portion of a cent these days and if a casino platform says that they have a faucet, it means that they are just allowing you to try out the games they are offering for free and not to win a reasonable amount of money.

Only a person with an extreme level of luck might be able to turn an amount as low as 0.00000200 BCH into something withdrawable and usable. Otherwise, you can barely play a few rounds in any game with that amount and you will lose the money before you realize it.
94  Economy / Gambling / Re: How to self exclude from anonymous gambling sites on: February 13, 2024, 01:16:24 PM
I am not sure many sites use the self-exclude and for those who do it, it may not be to full effect since you can lie your way in if you are really determined to do so. I guess self-exclusion in an absolute sense is just not really possible nowadays for most regions of the world. VPNs are difficult to detect, papers can be forged and banks may not be cooperative.
At some point in time, we need to put some things in place that can help us to make a better-informed decision and even if the casino, makes provision for self-exclusion which is what most people look out for is what makes them to stay off the casino anytime they feel that they have spent alot on the casino.
Sometimes, gamblers want to, self-exclude themselves self from casinos to save themselves from some issues that could affect their financial balance.
I wonder if a self-exclusion feature can keep a person away from gambling because if a person is addicted to gambling or senses that they have been spending a lot of money on gambling lately decides to use the feature so that they don't get to gamble on that platform anymore, they will still have the possibility of gambling elsewhere since they haven't closed all the doors to gambling and they always create an account somewhere else and start gambling there.

So, I believe that it depends on a person's level of patience and self-control whether they can save their finances from gambling because if you don't have enough self-control and can't control the urge to gamble, you will always find a way to gamble even if you have self-excluded yourself from one platform.
95  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Just bought FBTC in my 401k. First time ever holding crypto for retirement. on: February 13, 2024, 03:49:54 AM
Sounds good, if there are more people investing in Bitcoin, However as I have always said, I would love if people could directly invest in the Bitcoin and try to own the actual stuff rather than just buying it in some form of ETFs. I understand that there might be some benefits for buying ETFs which I do not understand or know of, but I would simply purchase Bits directly. Retirement plan is a must!
Pretty much this.  What is the point really.  I get there is a financial benefit and profit you could earn but this removes all the fun and purpose of Bitcoin to replace it with hope for a profit.  It makes no sense to me.  Bitcoin offers an opportunity to financial freedom like never before.  And experiencing that is the most fun part of it.
So, people who buy Bitcoin through an ETF get additional financial benefits and profit apart from the rising value of Bitcoin? I didn't know this, I guess I need to do some reading about ETFs, investments and their pros and cons, etc.

Anyway, just like any other Bitcoin user from the past, I'm not a fan of buying Bitcoin or any cryptocurrency through a third-party that would have possession of my assets instead of myself. I know that most of us use third-party exchange platforms to make purchases, but they give us complete freedom to withdraw and keep our assets with ourselves in our private wallets. There is no fun and meaning in having Bitcoin if you don't have the freedom to hide it from the world and don't let anyone know how much you have and where and how you spend it.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your response in placing live bets with a friend at a live sporting matches on: February 12, 2024, 03:44:34 PM
I would never bet with a friend who would have grudges against me or arguments and stuff, it's only fun if you have a good understanding and you guys enjoy the game no matter what the results would be. There shouldn't be sadness or exchange of harsh words between you guys while the match is live, just sit together, have some snacks and drinks, watch the game together while enjoying every moment, and make fun of each other whenever something happens in the game regardless of which team has scored and stuff.

At the end of the day, it should be a fun activity and not something that should create a gap in the friendship after the game is over, because the game wouldn't last forever, but the relationship you guys have with each other is supposed to stay and it should stay as strong as it has always been.
97  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why they need a license if bitcon is not money? on: February 12, 2024, 11:34:01 AM
The same with business anything related or involved with the money that is operating must provide a license and of course, to operate before making a casino you know that your target audience is not only with your community only and its worldwide if that country is one of your largest pool of asset and the government of them want to stop the operation with your casino they can easily banned your domain to their ISP, and also today there's a law implemented which is the AMLA and of course if you want to operate you must need to comply.
I believe a casino license usually works in certain jurisdictions and it depends on the licensing firm providing the license about in which regions their license is acceptable. Based on this, a casino or any platform would require to have multiple licenses if they wish to operate worldwide because you can't operate in the USA while having a license that is only for Europe, and the same applies for other continents as well.

Any business willing to work in any part of the world will need to acquire a license that will allow them to operate legally within that jurisdiction. This is the reason why multinational companies have such a good reputation because if a company is operational in multiple nations, it means it's a good company.
98  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Alter Ego In Gambling on: February 12, 2024, 10:40:33 AM
Some people run out of options when it comes to spending their money just like what Andrew Tate said when you reach high and buy yourself a yacht, that's the end game and you don't have anything to buy anymore since there is nothing to buy literally. that's why we see lots of them in the Casino, not to make themselves richer but they find it to be the best place to spend their money and to show off and those are the ones who love to waste their wealth, unlike others who choose to build a foundation and used his money to help others instead and when helping others, you will find peace when you see the smile on their faces.
It's not that they run out of options about how they should spend their money, but it's just that they don't want to explore all the possible ways for them to spend their money in the best way possible. Gambling your wealth away isn't the best way to get rid of it, as you mentioned, millions of people around the world don't get to eat a meal two times a day, they don't have cloths to wear or a shelter over their heads, and they deserve all the help in the world.

If a person thinks that they have unlimited wealth and they don't know what they need to buy anymore, they should do some noble deeds so that the world remembers them when they die instead of them going to a casino and gambling all the money away and making rich casino owners even more richer.
99  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: When is the best time to trade a Bitcoin on: February 11, 2024, 05:50:53 PM
I don't trade Bitcoin in the short term, only buy when the price DIPs to add assets and increase profits when the price starts to rise. Besides, my Bitcoin target is still quite far away, it hasn't touched the final ATH yet. It should at least touch a new ATH in the $100k price area and I will wait for that price, while waiting to buy gradually. Short-term trading is only for potential altcoins with high volume and volatility.
A final All-Time-High may only happen once all Bitcoin's supply have been mined and you are right that it was still far away. We may not even be here anymore when it happens, so I wouldn't wait for that. However, if you are also deciding to sell at $100k, I think you won't be waiting for too long, since many expects that it will happen later this year.

We can be wrong with that though but if not this year, it may occur for real next year or two. That won't still be a long wait I guess? Especially if you don't focus too much on it. Short-term trading on the other hand are not only for those coins but also for those people who are skilful enough.
100  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 11, 2024, 12:58:42 PM
The result of the game is a surprise considering Bayern Munich have reputation for scoring goals and dominating matches. Leverkusen's ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities and secure a 3-0 victory undoubtedly came as a surprise to many. This defeat not only affects Bayern Munich's chances of overtaking Leverkusen but also impacts their mentality to keep challenging for the title. With Leverkusen now leading the table with a five-point difference, Bayern Munich faces a more challenging task in their pursuit of the Bundesliga title this season.

The gap between the two teams certainly gives Leverkusen a boost in confidence and momentum as they continue their campaign. However, in football, anything can happen, and there are still many matches to be played. But the Bundesliga title race is far from over, and both Bayern Munich and Leverkusen will need to maintain consistency and focus in the remaining matches to secure their positions at the top of the table. Fans can expect an exciting and closely contested battle for the title as the season progresses
Without any doubt this was one of the worst performance from the Bayern Munich as things were completely out of their control and Bayer Leverkusen having good control which allow them to have big won against one of the best team for decades here in Bundesliga now we have this is second-worst defeat for them after having 5–1 against Frankfurt their fans are surely feeling not good as their team which is having the best attack fail to produce any goal in this game.

Here I have to be agreed about title race is finished because still we have 13 matches and many changes can happen even mostly we have no surprises in Bundesliga but while Bayern Munich is in chase things can take good changes so we have to wait for few more weeks talking about Bayer Leverkusen as the winner.
