I'm sure Mourinho will find a way to make Lukaku score and help As.Roma as much as he can because Mourinho is well known for being able to give players another chance to prove that they are indeed a great football player. Otherwise , if Mourinho won't make Lukaku look good again , I think he will transfer to Saudi Arabia next year or even MLS.

Lukaku move was a success before AS Roma had their last match with Milan and I don't understand why they didn't fix him on the that match despite seeing how poor the team has been over some weeks now. To even say that Milan booked red card with 10 players against 11, they couldn't beat Milan, it was at the die minute they later score 1 which was less than what Milan scored(2 goals to 1). Mourinho has a lot of work to do because 3 matches, 1 even and 2 loss isn't going to take them anywhere.

AS Roma is lucky this season, they don't have much work load of matches like that, just like last season of 2 leagues, Seria A and Europa. They did well and reach the final for the Europa and took six place in domestic league, they should improve more than this with Lukaku presence.

Arsenal first match in this competition and they will fight against PSV and this is very interesting because both teams have been met last year on Europa league and both teams have defeated each other which mean PSV can be considers as tough opponent for Arsenal especially PSV performance were increase rapidly because since July PSV has fantastic achievement and since that month PSV has through 11 matches with unbeatable status in all competitions and before they advances to the group stage PSV has been done a good job because they can able to eliminate Rangers with total aggregate 7-2 so although Arsenal is the favourite in this match but PSV cannot be underestimate because they have a potention to make Arsenal get in trouble

Arsenal still came out first in their group stage of Europa League while PSV follow suit after they played the play off but were drop out and Arsenal proceeded until the knockout stage. However, what I fear is what PSV did to get to the Champions League this season, they had an incredible performance in the playoff again and got into the group B, those goals aren't the type for Novice and seeing how they are also toping their domestic league makes me doubt how Arsenal is going to win them, more work need to be done to win this match.

If things get worse, I just have this believe fr Arsenal and PSV to make it out of the group B even if they win each other, they can still recover with rest of the remaining team to proceed out time group stage but were I think main problem will arise is in that knockout stage, it's going to be shoulder for shoulder match.

Considering the formation Ancelotti is using right now there is no way Joselu aren't playing. Because he needs 2 strikers in the attacking line and there are only two available right now. If Vinicius Junior didn't get injured he would have been in Joselu's place that's for sure. However this can at least be a chance for Joselu.

He scored a goal against Getafe. If he maintains this effort as much as possible he can compete really well with Rodrygo. When Vinicius Junior is back maybe we might even see Joselu beside him. But this task isn't going to be easy considering Rodrygo's playing really good too.
I think as long as Vinicius Jr is still not fully recovered Ancelotti will continue to use Joselu to replace his position or if perhaps Vinicius has recovered I am sure Ancelotti will still use this player because if you look at the several matches played by Joselu he has made a very good contribution with his playing style. unique and managed to provide a score in the last match yesterday against Getafe.
If it is possible to compare Rodrygo with Joselu, both of them have great talent and reliable ball control and even though Vinicius returns when he recovers, it looks like there will still be Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Joselu and Rodrygo.

When did Anceloti turned to a medical practitioner? If the medical claims that Vinicious is good to go, he will use him and you know why? It's because he need him to reduce the work load of Bellingham and Rodrigo. The past weeks, Real Madrid match has always been a successful one but to be honest, they struggle to win those matches, it will be wise and smart it he allowed Vinicious back into the game, he will even have chance to change the game of Real Madrid and make other teams on trap. With little to no players on ground, that will be difficult to accomplish and God for bid, if another injury comes, he will suffer another week loss.

Joselu is great and show and incredible first goal for Real Madrid  against Getafe even when Rodrigo didn't have any in that match but we all know that Rodrigo is better fit more in that position and Vinicious been in this side and we can't use a single goal to rate him to Rodrigo standard and beside, Rodrigo is more younger and energetic to help the team more than Joselu that has finished his career across different leagues.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, it seems that Robert Lewandowski and Kevin De Bruyne this summer also received big offers to the Saudi league. But both players have rejected the offer and it is clear now that both of them are staying with their respective teams. For Robert Lewandowski, who is Barcelona's mainstay striker, he certainly doesn't want to leave just because of big money, especially since he also really enjoyed his career in Spain. Meanwhile, Kevin De Bruyne definitely wants to continue contributing to Manchester City as his goal and if he sees that his contract with Manchester City ends in 2025, at least he wants to finish the contract period before leaving and becoming a Manchester City legend.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1700640548883738958

I think Saudi clubs are doing too much but I don't blame, the money really did his part by successful buying some players people some people least expect to go their and considering the age gap that have move their, Lewandowski try wasn't bad but what were they thinking? Lewandowski that's the main face of Barcelona, that's like Saudi Arabia are trying to remove the heart of Barcelona, I will finally give up on them because the debate and rival of Real Madrid and Barcelona will be over, they wouldn't come close again unless they have new player that can play like Lewandowski.

I understood their joy to have Lewandowski but going for Kelvin De Bruyne is ass liking, they were trying to chew more than what they need because we all saw his assist thoughtout last season as if he was built to support Haaland. Without him, no doubt Manchester City will survive but I doubt if Haaland is going to have a pretty season like his first year in Manchester City. The season is over by the way and most top guys in Premier League has signed long contract, they should try when the transfer market open again.

While other platforms face challenges, you can rest assured that your funds are SAFE with us. We've implemented cutting-edge measures to protect your money and data.

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is a crucial security feature that adds an extra layer of protection to your online accounts and digital identity. Here are several reasons why we at Nitrobetting.eu always enforce the use of 2FA:



Enhanced Security Protection against Password Theft

Mitigation of Credential Stuffing

Preventing Unauthorized Access & Identity Theft Peace of Mind



Bet with confidence at Nitrobetting.eu

 - Your Trusted Sportsbook! 💰 #CryptoSafety #Nitrobetting

There is additional information you need to understand about user accounts, the user wallet balance and the casino hot and cold wallet, I'm not sure if you are part of the security team but you should understand better that 2FA isn't enough to do anything to protect hack or external attempt to hack the casino funds wallet.

The user account and balance is the responsibility of the user and the casino, that of the user is making sure that he used a strong password, add a 2FA and if possible key word to protect his account from been hack and the casino responsibility is to make sure that t th eir server are well protected to avoid external bridge. This is what you need to do to protect users.

Cold and hot wallet is now the utmost top priority of the company as funds are not kept on casino, only database are store on the server to know who deposit and who made withdrawals. The private keys to this wallet most remain safe but casino has the habit of sleeping on hot wallets, and that's why most of the hacking of casinos are mostly associated with hot wallet. No company is perfect but it's your responsibility to protect user funds if you want to last long in these business.

It's not always too late to invest in bitcoins, if you have ever miss any Bitcoin bull run or you have heard about the bitcoins bull run and you are excited to take actions, my simple advice is, calm the pressure. This advice is driven from the view point of the economy struggles of many, avoid over thinking , work hard to earn money and diversify your investment. Most persons in the crypto space are dying in the inside because they do not have money to invest due to their present circumstance. If you do not have money to invest now, please ease the pressure, you may have more than enough to invest in the future. Calm the pressure my dear friends, don't borrow money, I repeat, don't borrow money to invest on Cryptocurrency, because it is a volatile asset. Life is about risk which you have heard  countless times but it will be unwise to take loan to buy bitcoins.


There is not point in rushing to get bitcoin and there is no point in feeling too late. There is opportunity in it everyday, all you need to do is to be determined and be patient, those who that thought 20k will never come but rush and bought btc when it price when to $58k and have sold with loss because they always want to outsmart the market but it's very simple thing, just buy and hold; this technique age like wine because it's has been the best strategy to hold bitcoin for long term.

Another point you emphasize is very important, borrowing money to buy bitcoin is a bad practice I will never advice, it's bad and making sure that the money invested isn't what you need urgently because market is dynamic, anything could happen, it can appreciate for short term due to good news and may depreciate if the opposite happen.

Im so newbie here but this is my way

Mostly binance futures If i trade but now due to financial problems i can't trade so much and don't have enough funds...untfortunately
I look for top gainers sometimes they go even higher so if coin is up 20% it might trap If i see still coin can move up i move on to short altcoins i look for bigger Marketcap altcoins If they are up 5% then i Open short and If there is no news or any reasons for further pump i Open short.
Right now i see etc/usdt extremly over-bought and fake-out so i did Open short it now. Price 17.065$ on binance i think good entry for short with this price now.
Enjoy Smiley hope you like it let me know ur toughts aswell , thnx

You have small funds and yet you are trying something that will blow up the little you have on your trading account. Future trading is like gambling but if you play well with technical analysis, you will survive if not most of the time but what your trading strategy is pure gambling without any risk management.

I hope you understand that future is one the market that's heavily manipulated by market makers, they do what they like, they can decide to chase a price for exit and they wouldn't stop until they target is been reach. Now imagine yourself shorting that market when the aim is to keep going, you will eventually get liquidated without anything at the end of the day.

The market you at shorting now is giving you moral because market is mess up right now, the more I look at bitcoin, the more I feel we are going down and that's why it's very easy to short the market but in a bull market, if you try this strategy you might regret ever opening any position in crypto. Market makers in long and short positions are only after ones another liquidity, play safe my friend so they don't eat the little you have managing.

This is the longest bear market I've ever witnessed, and I've been in the crypto space for about 4 years now. I've blown my trading accounts many times and have taken numerous risk management courses in preparation for the bull market. I'm tired of waiting, and I don't have the mental fortitude to keep trading, haha. This brings me to why I'm writing this...

Let's start from you my dear friend, reading everything you wrote, I think the problem is from you because you are not patience, you lack one and that's why you did blow up your trading account. Bear market is one of the most completlcated time to make trades because if you are not expert, you will be making losses instead of profits and as you stated. You have read several books but do you know that trading in reality is different from reading, most often than not, what you fread may not be what you will experience when trading. You ought to have practice many times with paper trading to save yourself from this disappointments.

Quote
I've been searching for an opportunity that will enable me to earn extra income to keep me afloat in anticipation of the bull run, but I've always hit a roadblock due to several reasons like low APYs, dicey processes, and high risk, etc. I'm more conservative with finances, so I would appreciate any suggestions on a passive income offer or product with low risk. Preferably, my capital would be protected, and the potential for growth would work well for me.

There is nothing like passive income in crypto if we want to be honest with ourselves, nothing like that except for those Defi that promised some APY and APR annually but deep down, they are all scam, they don't have anything to reward you and the ones that may gives wouldn't be more than 5% yearly.
What I will advise you is this, buy bitcoin and hold, not a financial advise buy that's the best decision you can do to enjoy the crypto market.

The dollar isn't going any where. Petrodollar's will remain the key currency for oil trading. OPEC isn't switching to a different currency. What we'll see once in a while's a country making a trade for oil using their currency to demonstrate their growing economic power. That's what happens.

US is too big to failed right! But that I don't concord nor seconded. In my first reply in the first page to OP, I stated that power is transient and truly it is, you can't be in that position for too long but I get that we are to focus of the movies thag are coming from the location, economy aren't studio fillms like the Avengers, power rangers or Guardian of the Galaxy where story always end up favoring the script writer, no! When you mistep, you will go down and when others see that you are becoming a threat instead of been a friendly country, they will move away from you(US).

A month ago, Uganda declared no LGBT sh!t in their country because they are trying to preserve their culture and maintain sane society but US were quick to give notice that if the bill wasn't revoke, they will cease supporting them and immediately Uganda retaliated with response to keep their AIDS. They think they can bully minor countries when other big countries like Russia and are doing the same thing to preserve a sane society for the future, that's d!ck ridding and ass leaking.

The world doesn't revolve round a particular country, if others don't find you friendly in the long term, they will leave for their own sanity and benefits to another competitive country just like Russia and China are doing right now, that remind me of Brics.


Do you really think that banning or supporting LGBT affects the spread of AIDS? Smiley
Let's look at reality, shall we? There are plenty of countries where LGBT is banned, but the AIDS rates are so terrible. Probably the solution lies in another plane: improving the standard of living of people, increasing the promotion of healthy lifestyles, hygiene of relationships, increasing the level of education of the population,....

Here is, for example, data for 2021, on the increase in the spread of HIV:

1.South Africa (14%)
2. Mozambique (6.5%)
3. Nigeria (4.9%)
4. India (4.2%).
5. Russia (3.9%).
According to data from the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).

Tell me - is this a list of countries leading in LGBT propaganda ? Smiley
As far as I know, today the main channel of spread of the disease is injecting drug addiction, and the sexual route is in second place. And both heterosexual and homosexual.

So, unfortunately, this is not a good example....

Regarding the world does not revolve around one country - absolutely agree. The world chooses the most convenient and comfortable solution. And for example the dollar is not the USA, it is the only currency that is comfortable, stable enough and has good prospects, unlike others.

You're asking a rhetorical question.
I never spread my explanation to LGBT been the cause of HIV rather I did said Uganda were trying to preserve their culture. Africa never and has never had LGBT until the west spread that propaganda. Where in the history have you read that male and male got married in Africa, maybe there could be in some other parts of Africa but Nigeria?  there wasn't until rainbow people started this  behavior on TVs and movies.

Check facts, the reason why LGBT has spread in Africa is because of low standard of living, some people are been compel to that irk behavior because of the money involved, there are some rich men that are into that but afraid of the society, they use money to lure some of the victims, they were never LGBT in the beginning.

Now coming back to your statistics without a source, it could be true or false but that I don't care, it could be real or doctored  as bloggers and media does to spoil African countries but perhaps you should go back and trace back to the history of Aids and how it came down to Africa, it was all money and money. Financial status made people becomes victims of this sexually transmitted diseases where people (male and female) are been compel to do inhumane thing, the same people that are advocating for freedom do worse to less privileged at any slight opportunity. Embarrassed

I haven't add human trafficking that are been spread across the west, they are been used for their own satisfaction and after the victims make little or found out that the environment wasn't what they expect, they come back home and spread whatever illness they have carried from the west. Check history again and tell me one major virus(exclude Ebola) outbreak that came from the Africa that really affected the world like the west, I doubt if there is, let's not even start with minor ones.  Embarrassed



Dollar isn't USA but people chose to use it because there is a bilateral agreement and when you boycott this agreement, they chose to sanction you for what you lack. They know Africans lack health care facilities, they use this as weapon because they know that no country survive without standard health care system.

Ehhhmmm, are you from USA?  Undecided
850  Economy / Economics / Re: Is market manipulation a common occurrence everywhere? on: September 06, 2023, 11:04:05 AM
Basically, if the financial market is affected  by the people or artificially then we usually call it market manipulation. Legal action may also be taken against any person or organization associated with such activities. A separate agency has been created to regulate the US stock market whose responsibility it is to ensure punishment against various types of malpractices and unfair practices.

Market manipulation is nothing new. Every market can be affected by big whales to some extent but not completely. In the stock market, the share prices of various companies can be traded low and high, but it is not an easy task to do so. In this respect I think Bitcoin is completely different. Because it is decentralized not everyone can control it. However, some investors may have a temporary effect by keeping a large amount of Bitcoin under their control, in this case, if investors adopt a little awareness, there will be no major negative impact. Bitcoin price may drop for a while but it will recover again in a few days.

If legals has taken good course, 99% of centralized exchanges will go down because they are the insider traders but then, they will come quickly to debunk these news. Take a look at IEO that are been conducted on these exchanges, the listing of coins and tokens, they are the first to get this information especially the main teams, they even sometimes sell this information so that they don't get implicated at the end. Tbe rate of insider trading among market makers is everywhere around crypto industry but they are always quick to break traces else legal tenders will have enough tax to help the government. Grin

Furthermore, the fact is this, market manipulation will always exist in a any financial instruments as long as there are buyers and sellers, is just like having illegal gold miners and approved government gold miners, no matter how they fight this, it will continue because money is involved and where there is money, you should expect manipulation of such. Market manipulation is even worst wheen there is bull run in crypto.
851  Economy / Economics / Re: To afford personal education or a property? Where to allocate funds? on: September 06, 2023, 10:44:06 AM
Let's suppose you have a limited budget which can be used only for one of the alternatives below:

What is the best investment, in your opinion? To use this money to pay for your education, so you can conclude a superior course and achieve a higher degree, having access to a wide jobs' market, or to use that money to acquire an apartment, house or piece of land, so you can make a passive income from this?

It brings the following question up: what is more valued in life: to be or to have? Does it make someone fulfilled to have while not being or being without having anything?

Wel, well this depends on where you are coming from, there are countries that does not only value education but there is 70% chance of securing a job after your acquiring your certificate. So my advice is this:

If your country has an assurance that after your education, there is going to be a job for you or you have the tendency of securing a job after school, then I will advise you to go school and get that certificate, by default that's even the best thing anyone should do but things are different these days of 21st century. However, if there is a limited job, no assurance to secure one for yourself after school, I will advice you to use the money as an investment. I wouldn't advice you to buy property because when you do, it's the land that appreciate with time, what's on it will need maintenance which will be a liability to you in the future.

853  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Honestly, Bitcoin fits in this gap more than others. on: September 06, 2023, 10:13:21 AM
Come to think of it

Bitcoin is the most reliable digital currency that everything in the world today should move closer to, but the greediness and power in men won't let them.

They can't control it, and that's why they hate it.

Being decentralized is a part why the government should embrace Bitcoin in the world today, it's the only digital currency that can bring peace if allowed as a means of payment around the country.

Instead the Banks are getting in relations with Chainlink and XRP, something that's built centralized and imagine many countries start using these centralized coins and the same FTX shit happens, how will that go? Not good right?

If Bitcoin take that place instead it will be a smooth breeze, the government will have peace themselves, there will be no betrayer of sort because no one have power or control over Bitcoin.

To me Bitcoin just fits in the gap more than any others, oh but the heart of men anyway.

Bitcoin fits in more but I really wish it can process more transactions than the current limitations, it's ducks I wouldn't lie about that but of course, security, safety and decentralization made it that way, more transactions means you will have to give up the rest, otherwise bitcoin will stand the chance than most of this altcoins that are making noise that want the  change or support the government financial system and the rest; just think about about it thag if bitcoin in real time could process 1M/seconds, you really think there will be altcoins to boast of new creativity, they Wil always die at the point of launch. Even at this, known of them still survive the mission and mission of making that collaboration fully.

Bitcoin fits more but rejection will keep coming from.the different angles when it comes to adoption facilitation, look at what US is doing to ETF and the rest even when we know that the guys that are call or the ETF are doing so for their own profits. The government will not approved what they don't like and what they can't control, that's just it.

Privacy is important when it comes to Cryptocurrency, so why do exchanges like Bitget require KYC (Know Your Customer) for all users, even those who only want to get airdrops? I thought KYC should be for those transacting many Bitcoins, Is it really necessary for everyone?

Centralized exchanges are group of organization that are making money for their own purpose by providing a centralized platform fr people to trade their coins together but government think that it's not all coins with value that are actually legit, they could be stolen from another since majority of them is pseudonyms and tracking will be something they can't overcome. Hence, they introduced an element call anti money laundering/know your customer( AML/KYC) just to know who deposit and who withdraw coins from these platforms and tracking becomes less stressful for them but this is at the cost of intruding ones privacy, it's even against the standard of bitcoin.

Some of these centralized exchanges also have the habit of selling people's documents and identification to the wrong people where they sell data for money and this ID are been resold to the bad actors which they used to carryout bad things. You don't want to wake up and found out that your pictures is everywhere with Bounty for wanted for criminal activity. KYC isn't a good thing to trust.

#Ghana - Despite cryptocurrencies being illegal, there appears to be interest from the central bank in blockchain technology.

Do you think, what more countries can join this list?

Ghana central bank are very funny and not worthy to be called a central bank. Thier stand on Bitcoin is like saying I want the child but I don't like the mother. If you don't want to have anything to do with the mother, then obviously, they don't deserve the mother. You can't say you ban bitcoin but they still have the audacity to say they have interest in utilizing the blockchain. They know how important blockchain is to the environment and people but because they are colonized by the west and don't want to spark reactions that will affect their relationships with them, that's why they decide to ban bitcoin that half of the population in that country will accept if allow as a legal tender.

Ban comes when there is increasing in consumption of what the government terms as been illegal, if people continue to use bitcoin, the government will see it as a threat to their financial system and they don't want that to happen and as long bitcoin exist, people will use it and governments may continue to ban it. Only time will tell if the government will win the global war or the people that use it.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 05, 2023, 02:54:00 PM
Newcastle have really disappointed with their games, especially the game against Brighton... I'm not surprised they lost the games against Liverpool and Man City because they were really tough matches... Now they can't lose in the next ones and lose points...

I think that if i just see newcastle's performance is dropping so hard. I meant to look at how newcastle could not win one from the last three games. The quality of newcastle is still questionable. I thought that if this club can do better than it.
Brighton was a strong opponent but newcastle could not at least get draw against it. The players are not feeling confidence anymore and i think that the problem was on eddie howe.

When did Brighton become a joke? The same Brighton that flog Arsenal, flog Manchester United, beat Liverpool, and also trash Chelsea to finish the last season in the 7th place, they didn't started well but ended the season very well and that is the legacy they are still pushing to this season. Hence, why they are pushing the teams we like to the wall. They are still in good and starting the season early like the way Manchester City are killing their points in matches back to back is the best thing they can do in other to get to the top of the standing. I will take Newcastle seriously if they win their next match against Brentford, if they win congrats to them on on been on form and if they lose, the shame on them.

Quote
Howe's substitution of some important players caused the match against Liverpool to become a blunder for Newcastle. This coach is still doing the same thing against brighton.
I think that if howe has reached its maximum capability to handle the club. I think that newcastle will be stuck started from here. I don't expect a lot from this club in UCL.

The loose streak faced by newcastle was a horrible thing as for now.

Whether the substituted players handled their part very well or not, the history is only repeating it self. Liverpool and Newcastle matches has only favour Liverpool, Newcastle last 5 matches against Liverpool is always lose on losses, so analysing this one is not different from the previous ones.
I just wonder how Newcastle are going to play their first group match against Milan that is topping their own domestic league, Newcastle has a lot of things to fix before that match.

People like those (me) who don't gamble for fun have this question to answer: how will you feel when you don't have money to stake a game that you predicted and better winning games you predicted played the way you predicted it and when you checked the winning was something that could have changed your life for ever if you didn't gambled again after such winning?

This question can be very tough to answer, but believe me, many people won't stop thinking of that if it happened to them, so I want to know your opinion about how you would feel if it happened to you.

If it happens to me, I can't stop thinking of it, but definitely one day I will stop thinking about it and see it as history or not yet, my time for big wins just like how it happened to me when I lost a bet that would have given me long-term smiles.

This happened not only in gambling, it happened in real life situation, more like opportunity you missed or the chance you refuse to take because of the risk involved. However, does it matters if the game went as you predicted or not, you didn't play it and you didn't involved any risk, there is nothing to feel atleast for me, it's a chance I missed and refuse to take due to financial condition and money to play. At that moment, I will feel bad but will forget it the next minute, will try again the next time.

I know other people will say you should borrow money and gamble which is a big mistake, the moment you start gambling with borrowed money, it will become a habit that will be difficult to avoid, hence any moment you lack fund to play, the next thing that will come to your mind is to go and borrow money and when you lose, you will have yourself to blame especially when you categorically stated that you play because of money and not for the fun, you should never regret but make sure to used the same skill proficiently the next time you have money to play as you do for the money and not for the fun.

This topic is not about the recent hacking of Stake there is a dedicated topic about this

Stake.com Hot wallet robbed for 40Million + usd  (Confirmed by stake)

But it's more on the general opinion when top casinos are hacked

 - Do you think that big casinos can survive hacking because they have enough funds stored elsewhere

 - When they assured that users are safe do you believe it or is it just a way to keep their status in the industry intact

 - When top casinos are hacked and they still operate and still  into their business without interruption do you believe that

 - Top casinos should be our priority because small casinos cannot operate normally after the hacking.

 -  Do you believe that there will be more hacking after the top casinos?

 - Do you think gamblers will stop playing for the time being after this is all settled?



With the current situation of crypto market, it seems centralized exchanges are not liquid enough for attacks and so does Defi also, the new oil money for targeted hacks are now gambling platforms and this call for a concern. Not your keys, not your coin, however I'm not sure if we centralized exchanges are not any difference from gambling platform but the challenges is that you can't bet without your fund on theor hot wallets which makes it prone to attacks.

-Depends on how the Casino had itself plan, if there is an insurance that will cover the loss, they can come back but will take time before they become active or where they left before the hack. But, $41M is really a lot, I wonder if there is ab insurance company that can cover that loss without involving there loss.

-When casino says users fund are safe, I believe they are doing that to best of the ability but then, you can never tell, there are somethings that are beyond measures or unforseen circumstances where insiders member sell out the team for cheap share of the theft.

-It depends on the solid background and backers. Stake for example has a lot of people behind them, drake is there Ambassador and many other sport companies, if they are making millions from the company, they will support it throughout the trying times till they come back fully.

-skipped

-If hackers could break into a company like stake and they were able to milk them $41M, I expected more hackers to try other gambling platforms.

-Gamblers might change playing ground, they will avoid stake even the players that weren't affect, they will go to another platforms. Especially now that stake is having problems, other platforms will used it as advantage to get more customers.

Well, said barcelona has been getting difficult to beat osassuna. The team tries so hard to score another goal to make sure it would be securing the full points. Lewandowski has become the savior through its successful penalty against osassuna.
There was a moment when gavi was really aggressive pushing lewandowski. I saw that so many people were also putting their focus on the gavis performance. This guy cant always control his emotion. I did know he was still young, but he must try to control his emotion.

Glad barcelona has been winning even though it must be going through penalty to make it happen. The club was almost getting draw as you said above. Three points are really important for barcelona to keep its gap with real madrid.
Im quite happy with the result against osassuna even though it's not making me feel satisfy with it caused by the second goal was coming from penalty.
There are no easy wins for Barcelona this week, and neither is Real Madrid. Barcelona struggled to beat Osasuna, Real Madrid also struggled to beat Getafe. But the question; Why is Barcelona the one who tends to be noticed and said to be bad when Real Madrid also has great difficulty winning every match?

You know Barcelona let go of important young players like Ansu Fati and Dembele, so people are speculating whether they will survive the season with the old and few new once they replace them and if when you check Real Madrid, they have lots of their great players to injuries and they are still kicking and making goals for the club, there is no sign of weakness but Barcelona is behind Real Madrid with 2 points, some people are also wondering how they will perform in the domestic league maintaining the lead and to be able to maintain the Champions League, they don't want the team to comprise any for one another.

Quote
Real Madrid were lucky to be able to win game after game because Bellingham was really able to take advantage of goal opportunities, but that doesn't cover anything from the fact that they also have difficulty winning them. The same thing about Barcelona, ​​but both of these teams were able to maximize the match to get maximum points in the last 3 matches. The positive results that both La Liga teams got on Matchday 4 were really tough, but they deserved it.

The key thing is to be able to secure the three points which is exactly what Real Madrid and Barcelona were able to achieve. The thing with team formations is that clubs study each other tactics, a club can continue to play an offensive style of formation to win other teams but there will come a time when another team will find a solution to their style of play and find it difficult difficult to win, they may win or they may not, depends on pressure and changing strategy. Once the manager notices that his style has been blocked, they change again, this is what I see in Real Madrid match and I expect Ancelotti to change style in their next matches.

The last part of what you said is scaringly true. There are lots of gamblers out there that do not learn a valuable lesson until there is nothing left to teach them. It reminds me of problematic gamblers just betting and betting on something until such time that they have nothing left to bet unless they borrow money from someone else. At that point, I believe the individual is beyond saving no matter how much intervention is done to them. They either have to lose everything before they stop gambling, or they lose everyone around them.

I'm afraid, we cannot do something about it because they chose that path even if they have a lot more options beforehand, still they made a risky move that is why they had it coming. Sometimes, situations like that is the only thing that can help them in order to open their eyes about the reality, it might be unfortunate to think, but that's the last resort that can save them and a chance to redeem themselves by doing the right things instead of the things that will just worsen their situation.

You have to understand something, there are some gamblers that do betting all through their life and not because they enjoy doing it but there is not alternative, no alternative in the sense that there is no job for them, they only result to only available means to earn which is gambling. Not to justify their behaviour but there isn't a thing they can contribute as skills to have money, no matter how you put it, everyone cannot offer a service and besides, everybody cannot offer skills to survive, the ecosystem has to be balanced.

Furthermore, what contributes to this immense gambling behaviour is gambling history, when some of them have their win, it used to come in massive just as we have seen a gambler use $100 to win thousands of dollars, like how a boy used 100 bucks in my local currency to become a millionaire overnight through sports betting, this gives them ginger even when they lose to continue to wager/stake money, they don't care about what they lost because of the believe that they will make the money back one day, they really believe that their time will come when it's their lucky day.
