AS Roma will only fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, they're just few points behind Bologna and they're taking it as a crucial plan to execute. AS Roma stats this season, 15W 6D 8L in 28 games this season. Daniele De Rossi have been available in the crucial areas and heading direct to progressing the team's performance bit by bit. He's new to the managerial system and what he needs is time to fit in, we know how exceptionally the coach will grow to managed the club.
Being three points behind Bologna is not a very difficult thing for AS Roma to shift this season, because as long as AS Roma can continue to recover with good wins in the upcoming matches. Because Roma only needs to wait for Bologna to lose or beat Bologna when they meet again in the remainder of this season in order to compete for positions in the UCL zone. I am also quite confident with Daniele De Rossi's performance at Roma even though he still has to adjust to the Roma team for the remainder of this season.
They have both played 29 matches, and Bologna is just three points ahead of Roma. Bologna is on 44 points, and Roma 41 points. There is hope for Roma to be in the champions league next season, because Roma will be able to be more consistent than Bologna in the rest of their matches. However, Bologna should not be underestimated because they have also being consistent in their performance. Their last five matches, they only lost to Inter, and they won the rest.

It will be a big task for Roma to bring down Bologna from the fourth position, and take over from Bologna, because Bologna also want to be in the Champions League next season. Roma should just hope for Bologna to drop points for them to take advantage, and they need to also work more on their game pattern.

Yeah that's the points I'm trying to make if Girona had been more consistent enough they would have been competing with Barcelona but right now I doubt if they can be able to come back to there normal performance they had during the beginning of the season because that's the only way they can become a threat to Barcelona but since they are not much in a good shape now Barcelona has taking the advantage to dominate the second position and like I already mentioned it will be very difficult for Barcelona to drop points because there target right now is the second position so they will try as much as possible to maintain it.
The only way to threaten Barcelona is to restore their performance to what they did at the start of the season. Recently, Girona seemed to have lost their ability which made it difficult for them to win, Girona was only able to achieve three wins in eight matches, the remaining four losses and one draw. Barcelona which is starting to find its best performance, will continue to maintain its runner up position until the end of the season. I also feel pessimistic about Girona's ability in the second meeting which will be played at Girona headquarters. Barcelona performance continues to improve, making it difficult for Girona to win over Barcelona if their performance still not increasing.
The two point gap is still very possible for Girona to catch up, but with the conditions they have shown in the last eight matches, there is still a possibility that Barcelona will widen the gap between the two.

With the recent form of Barcelona, I don't think that it will be possible for Girona to win Barcelona or draw the match. This is because Barcelona is very hot and will take down any team that comes their way, especially Girona that they know is a threat to them on the second position. They will use this opportunity to widen the game to make sure that Girona will not later be above them on the table.

Girona started the season with a very consistent performance, it is two months ago that they started declining in their performance, which I don't blame them for that. Because it is not easy for a club like them to start competing with Real Madrid and Barcelona on the trophy. However, I knew it that they will not be able to maintain their consistency till the end of the season.

The time Arsenal has to face Bayern Munich is very limited, because before facing Bayern Munich in the UCL there are 3 tough matches and it will drain the players energy. So I'm quite worried if Arteta has difficulty making many rotations. At the end of the month against Man City, you definitely need a solid composition of players and of course the main squad must be deployed. The next 2 matches are no less important because they are an opportunity to get 3 points and Arteta cannot underestimate his opponent.

So based on a fairly busy schedule, I wouldn't expect much if even a draw against Bayern Munich would be good enough. However the issue of dark history is also a shadow for Arsenal players, as if Bayern Munich will use it to break the spirit of their opponents.

Actually with the look of things Arsenal may likely be kicked out by Bayern Munich on the champions League quarters finals because Bayern Munich are always more favourable than Arsenal on champions league that's why they have more good history on champions league than Arsenal, although is been a while Bayern Munich meet Arsenal but I think Bayern Munich has more opportunity over Arsenal on that match and also considering the fact that champions league is not like premier League that are more easy for Arsenal to perform really good but in champions league the matches are mostly difficult because all the clubs are very strong, although I'm not disputing the fact that Arsenal is not in there good form but the truth is that Bayern Munich is a very consistent team when it comes to the champions League matches and also if you you check there last meeting with Liverpool you will see how good Bayern Munich is and beating Liverpool at the end, so if bayern Munich could perform that good it may likely not going to take much time for them to win Arsenal. So I would just say that Arsenal should focus more on there premier League matches so that there attention will not be divided.
Pardon me, if I say that this is the last stage that Arsenal will reach in the Champions League. Arsenal are not good when it comes to champions league matches compared to Bayern Munich, which makes me doubt that Arsenal would be able to win Munich.

Arsenal qualified last to the semifinals in UCL 2008/2009,and after that time, we have not seen them in the Champions League semifinals again. This shows how poor their participation in champions league is. It will not be different from the previous. Assuming they were given a different club and not Bayern Munich, maybe there will be hope for them.

Sometimes, we expose our private information to the public unknown to us, and it can be used against us, when we become the target. Imagine this observation about your friend screen shot of his transactions. His friend that is envious of him can steal his phone or send someone to steal his phone, and whatever information they need, they can easily get it from his phone.

* My question is, how safe is it to keep screenshots of Bitcoin/crypto transactions and useful information, on ones device?
It is not a safe practice. I will say 1% safe. I hope that he does not screen shot his seed phrase.

* How do I go about letting my friend know about such a habit of taking and keeping screenshots on his device that I have observed and warn him about it, without looking like I sense bad days coming?
If he does not listen to you, there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe since he is into bitcoin, you can introduce him to the forum, where he will know that such practice can make him lose his coins to hackers and thieves. Some of us were not taking privacy serious, until we became members on this forum. Maybe he does not understand the level of privacy that he needs as someone who is into bitcoin.

Thanks for the reminder. Changing of wallet address by casino and exchanges without any notification is not good. I am happy that you were able to get your funds back, because they know that the money is in your old wallet asdress. I don't think anyone that is not being paid directly to his casino wallet address, should use their casino wallet address to receive payment, only if you intend using all the money to gamble.

I had similar issues last month with my exchange waaler address. It was change unknown to me, and I transferred funds from my noncustodial wallet to the exchange. I didn't see my funds there, when the transaction has been confirmed for over 6 hrs. This was when I took my time to go through the exchange, and I discovered that they money was in my old address which I had to do it manually for it to reflect, which took close to 10 minutes.

Always check, and re-check the address before sending funds into it or use it to receive funds.

I am not part of the international break because it kills the fun on the club matches. Imagine, weekend is when I do relax and enjoy the club side matches, but today has been very boring for me, because I didn't have the passion for international Friendly's. As I am typing the post, England VS Brazil is on but I lost interest on the game.

Of course, there are some football fans that don't derive fun in watching club matches, because they are not committed to football. Perhaps, if their country is playing that is the only matches that they watch, and such people will be happy currently for the break.
829  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: While placing bet what comes your mind on: March 23, 2024, 07:30:07 PM
However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos? The feeling to increase the wager it happen to me like every time and this feeling also happen to me after I win the bet there are always feeling like "Oh man I should increase my wager" but I believe this part an of gambling addiction
While placing a bet what comes to your mind. ? It is simply I just want to win the game hahahah

I think that feeling is experienced by everyone bro Grin. The feeling of wanting to increase the bet when you see an opportunity to win. Yes it is part of gambling addiction. When you gamble your emotions will control your actions. The feeling and belief that you will win the bet makes you dare to take the risk of betting higher. I think it doesn't matter because there is no gambler who doesn't have that feeling. But how you manage it and not get addicted to gambling is the important point here.
How to control that gambling spirit that tells you to increase your bet is what matters, because when you cannot control it, that is when you will be vulnerable to addiction. It do happen to me when I am losing, and that gambling spirit will tell me to increase my bet so that I can win my losses fast. I do fall for it before, not anymore.

Most gamblers that falls for this, are gambling for profit not for fun. Anyone gambling for profit will end up being an addict, because he will never be satisfied with the outcome of his bet.

Financially, YES. If it's about the competition to get la liga trophy and it's not yet. Xavi has used his special skill to push barcelona exceeds their limitations. In result, barcelona's performance was always so amazing lately. Anything can change in matter of weeks.

Things will be worsening for barcelona next season. Club has no money to buy the new player.  Cry

When it comes to finances Barcelona have really had tough days but they would leave these days behind sooner or later. Their main problem has been with the league FFP rules recently.

Barcelona aren't having a very successful season which is a truth. The point losses they made earlier caused them to fall from the title race very quickly. Now the gap is eight points while we are in last nine weeks of the season. Real Madrid just need to make a terrible mistake from now on to let Barcelona jump in the race again. I don't expect that to happen. I'm just curious about who they will bring in Xavi's place after his announcement to leave.
Why are you feeling for Barcelona. The fact is that this season is not for them, and that was why they faced difficult times in the beginning of the season to help Real Madrid triumph over them. This is how it happens when it is not your season to shine, a lot of setbacks will occur.

It is just a wish, I know. I don't have the guarantee that Barcelona will be able to win all the rest of their 9 matches without losing anyone or draw any. Same with Real Madrid, so you see it. It is not just that only Barcelona will keep winning, then how did Real Madrid get to the top of the table. Is like you have forgotten who Real Madrid are. This was exactly how Barcelona excelled last season from the beginning of the season to the end and won the league. This is Real Madrid season, so accept it.
831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: March 23, 2024, 03:19:35 PM

Real Madrid and Manchester City will meet each other already on the quarter-final of the Champions League competition Undecided. It is actually a little sad for me. I really wanted these two to actually meet each other later in the competition. But it is what it is. Now we will have seen crazy things happen previously between Real Madrid and Manchester City in the Champions League competition.

The thing is on paper to me it looks like Manchester City has the upper hand. But at the same time, we have seen Real Madrid bring in crazy performances in the Champions League, even against Manchester City. So I think anything goes in this class. And remember this is going to be played over two legs. So both of the teams are going to have genuine chances. But I still think Manchester City should be better ready for the competition.
I thought I would see these two teams meet in the final but in fact they had to meet earlier, I probably saw a lot where the strengths of these two teams don't seem to be much different, they both have the same strength, I don't mean to underestimate Madrid but Manchester City is probably much better. OK, but that doesn't mean Madrid can't overcome Manchester City at home in the first leg. Madrid must be able to win the match in the first leg if they want to progress to the next round.

But I know that it might be difficult for Madrid to beat Mancester City, Ancelotti might learn from last season's defeat, especially now that Madrid has several talented young players who can fill the void and can show their best game to the maximum in order to win. beating Manchester City in the first leg, Guardiola certainly doesn't want to underestimate Madrid, of course he will direct his team to play carefully at Madrid's home ground where maybe they can play better than usual. But if I was asked to choose between the two, I would definitely choose Manchester City which will win this match or the result will be a draw in the first leg.
You sound very sure, and have must trust on City winning Real Madrid, which I don't think it will be easy for City to win Madrid. I cannot tell who qualify to the next round, but you should also consider that Real Madrid does not have home or away in UCL. They can win anywhere, so you saying they must make sure they win at home is somehow.

The two teams are very strong, and because City won last season does not mean that they have higher advantage over Real Madrid. You should also consider the change in players in Real Madrid squad, and I think that it is on that match day that we would know who is stronger. City was unable to win Liverpool, and they were praying for a draw in that match. Like you have forgotten that City is not as strong as last season.

If you don't want to look at the negative side of investing in bitcoin, but only the positive side, you might end up not without success in your bitcoin goal. It is a norms as an investor not to FOMO or get carried away with little price fluctuations,so that you don't get distracted from your focus on a long term goal.

However, on your investment journey, you must think of the risk attached to bitcoin investment, so that you can have an insight of how to overcome it, and become successful in your bitcoin journey. Anybody that is investing without think of the risk attached to it, will fail in that investment. So we should consider the other side of bitcoin and not only the bright side, to help us know how much to put in, and how to make sure our investments are safe.

5. Overcoming Adversity: In rare cases, gambling has served as a means for individuals to overcome adversity or hardship. Some people facing difficult circumstances have turned to gambling as a source of hope or
    escapism. While this may not always lead to positive outcomes, there are instances where individuals have used gambling as a catalyst for personal transformation, resilience, and recovery.
I disagree with you on this OP. It is impossible for people facing hardship to put their hope on gamble that it can transform their situation. Inside they will worsen their conditions, and would not have anything to eat, since they will pay for their bet. It is advisable for people facing hardship not to see gambling as a means of earning profit, so that they don't end up spending the little that they have thinking that they can double it with gambling.

The chances of transforming someone facing hardship with gamble is very slim, and not good for us to put hope on gamble that it can bring wealth to us. Gamble takes more from you, than what it gives you.
834  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling until you go totally broke on: March 23, 2024, 10:52:22 AM
I have done this before. I had a good amount ofoney on me, and I decided to gamble because I thought that I can double the money. At first I was winning, but later it turned out the other way round, I started losing. I lost up to 90% of my whole funds in my life, and the spirit of addiction continue pushing me to gamble all, that after all, I am left with just little amount that will make no difference. I listen and lost it all. This was when I started regretting my actions, I was broke but someone came to my rescue. After that day, I don't listen to my instinct on keep gambling.

Addiction and greed goes together, your friend became greedy that he never saw or thought of the consequences of giving all his funds to gamble, If not he would not try tbat. It is gamblers that feel they can outsmart the casino, and win big that keeps playing and forget about the aftermath of their actions. I don't borrow money to gamblers, no matter your relationship with me.
835  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: March 22, 2024, 07:01:06 PM
Yes gambling behaves the same for everyone. There is no special exemption for anyone in gambling. so it will be equal risk for all  It depends on what percentage of their income is spent on gambling. The person who spends most of his income on gambling is at the highest risk and will suffer the most if he loses gambling regardless of whether he is rich or poor. So you must be very careful about money management in case of gambling.
We have to be careful while gambling because if we start gambling with too much focus on what we are playing then something bad can happen to us. Sometimes we have to stay away from gambling. If we ever win extra while gambling we  Lose all money in gambling. While gambling one should start gambling with little money and after some time stop gambling. We should never get addicted to gambling but always watch.
Before starting to gamble or indeed intending to gamble, you must first ensure that the finances obtained do not really interfere with income for basic needs. Gambling is just to throw away your money in an agreed amount, so be prepared to lose without exception wanting to chase anything. Regarding betting large or small amounts, as long as the allocated funds are ready to be thrown away, it doesn't matter, because the problem that is often encountered is those who mix gambling with their main income so that it is difficult to prevent it when they become addicted.
I like the way you put the word 'throw away your money' some gamblers don't understand that gambling is just like throwing away your money, but the difference is that, you might be lucky that the money thrown away can bring some of the money that you have thrown away back.

Whenever anyone wins, it means that gambling is encouraging you to continue with your gambling activities but not to over do it. It is when you over do it, that it will become a problem to you. You will not be able to control yourself and you will use the money for your needs to gamble,because you got addicted by chasing your losses.
836  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: March 22, 2024, 04:54:01 PM
So where's the fun when you lose your money?
OP, one thing that you don't understand is that losing the money is not the fun, but the fun is that you enjoyed the game. You should not gamble on any game that you don't have any idea on, so that when playing the game, you can enjoy it. It is just like you playing card with your friends, don't you enjoy the fun in it. But while playing and you decided to stake a little amount to make everyone sit up, and make the game more interesting, because no one will want to lose his money.

That is the fun. This is why the advice is ways use the amount of money that you can afford to lose to gamble, so that you will not miss the fun. Whoever gambles with the amount that he cannot afford to lose will not be feel the fun if his bet was lost .

bitcoin is a future digital currency, i strongly believes that before BTC celebrate 50 years in existence at least one or two African countries is going to legalis it. because block chain network is expanding every day by day. and most of the countries in Africa have the knowledge BTC how it works.
Bitcoin is already legalized in some Africa countries. I don't know the country that you are from, but my country has legalized the used of cryptocurrency, and Nigeria has the highest number of crypto daily users and adopters.

Nigeria, South Africa, Morocco , Ghana and Kenya and many more countries in Africa that bitcoin is legalized. It is not compulsory that the government must use it as a legal tender before, bitcoin can be used or is legal.
839  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 22, 2024, 12:32:59 PM

And in the match between Arsenal and Manchester City, I personally predict Arsenal will come out as winners in that match. Apart from that, I think it must be very difficult to end in a draw. Because of course Manchester City and Arsenal are chasing a win in this match.

The game would surely be an interesting one. I too don’t think the game would come out in a draw as both sides would be aching to come out the victors in the game. Both sides would be chasing the win with everything they’ve got.
Arsenal may be a worthy contender but I personally don’t think they could have a win over Man City. I think City is stronger as a team and could defeat Arsenal when they meet. Admittedly, one can’t really tell in these games but I predict City coming out on top later on.


It will be difficult for Arsenal to defeat Manchester City because both teams are playing well and scoring more than two goals in a single game. Arsenal, in particular, is capable of doing so against Manchester City because they are a dangerous team with better players than any other Premier League team. As per your statement, we shouldn't anticipate a draw in this game because both teams are strong and will compete to win; Arsenal leads both Liverpool and Manchester City by just one point, and if Arsenal loses, its point total will drop.

This season, Arsenal has performed at a level that I believe will make it difficult for Manchester City to defeat Arsenal. Arsenal, however, will not give up because if they lose, they have no chance of winning the Premier League again and will always be remembered as a team that always gives what it takes to help other teams win. Therefore, Arsenal must win the match by any means; even though it will be tough to defeat Manchester City, any team that gives it their all will triumph.
If you use the term "give up before the match" it seems like your statement is that Arsenal is not optimistic about the match hosting Man City, even though the match will be played at Man City's home ground, it doesn't mean that Arsenal just want to lose points. A draw is already beneficial for Arsenal because sharing points is the target.  their main goal, but on the other hand, if a draw occurs then Liverpool has a chance to beat Arsenal, so like it or not, Arsenal in this match will fight tooth and nail even though they will be busy with various busy schedules to prepare against Bayer Munich in the Champions League, so I think Arsenal should  win whatever the result when the match starts after the international break ends..
Both clubs are preparing for their champions league match, and it is not only Arsenal. It will be better for Arsenal to win the match for them to still remain on the first first position. This is because if Arsenal steps down from being first, it might be impossible for them to go back to top the league.

If the match ends in a draw, it will in Liverpool's favor. This is because, if Liverpool wins their match, they will move to the first position. If City win Arsenal, and Liverpool wins, Liverpool will still be on the first position. Arsenal needs to keep on winning all their matches, if they want to win the trophy this season.

This is very funny, a gambler lost all his funds to gamble, and he is asking for compensation, on what, for losing. What assuming he was gambling in the casino will he tell them to give him part of his loss.

Why is this happening, because I could remember when I was in college, if we gamble and lost, the loser will always ask for compensation. The annoying thing is that after compensating the loser, he will tell you that he wants to continue the game with the money that you have him, and he might end up using that small amount to win back all his loss, and make profit. Then you that compensated him will look like you are not smart. What I do, is that after compensation, I stop playing.
