Firstly, op you should know that there's no humanity anymore in the world. Almost all humans have lost the touch of a feeling of humanity in them, we have all bind our conscience so bond that the conscience have died to repelling us from doing immoral and inhumane things and actions towards fellow human.

The things op mentioned and talked about in the post is something me as a Nigerian goes through everyday stepping out of  house for to go work for our daily bread and it's so adverse that I have gotten used to the situation that It doesn't bother me anymore neither do I get surprised when I see people taking advantage of such opportunities in abusive ways.

I keep on telling people that in this country the poor are the problem of the poor even before the rich politicians that we abuse and blame for our sufferings and economical harshness we face in our  society. It's only when humans stop taking advantage of situations in an inhumane and without conscience that's when live can get better as we wish it to be.

We all know and  remember the issue of cash scarcity that happened early this year... Imagine how Nigerians were suffering fellow Nigerians, I don't want to even mention about  POS operators you all know the rest stories.

The format and procedures to achieve great heights in this forum is conspicuously different from what I have seen in all other social platforms and forums I have admitted myself into. The equality, maturity and the system itself is a beautiful thing to be part of.

This forum wasn't built only for those that already know everything about bitcoin but mainly for the new entrant and adopters of bitcoin to come together as a community to discuss, learn, interact and share ideas between those that already knows so much about bitcoin both in theory and technical aspects with those that have no knowledge at all but are hungry to acquire the knowledge. And in achieving that goal, noise and distraction  has to be filtered through rules and regulations that serve as guidelines of operation and activities engagement for the community. As simple as the rules could be they are a respecter of no one.

The importance of data analysis in sports betting can't be over emphasized despite how much bookmakers attempt to influence and mislead us in the information we gathering. Like you said it depends on the gambler in finding the right team, for instance in the EPL we know those teams that are in great form and consistent performance this season.

And with that knowledge we can analyze what can possibly be the results of the game depending on which team they are playing against and the current form of their opponent and their weak loopholes and many others. When informations are gathered it becomes less confusing on what options the gambler should go for in the game.
At least with data analysis, a gambler can find out many things from the information he collects so that he can decide which team to choose. He can also look at the information for the next match so he has an idea of which team can win over the other team. But to win sports betting, we have to be able to have many things so we can increase our chances of winning.

We can also predict whether, later in the match, there will be surprises from each team so that it can change the course of the match. By having more information, we can find out which teams have a chance to win so we can choose them as bets. But we also have to remember the amount of money to bet because we shouldn't use too much money if we are not prepared for losses that can come at any time.
Yea, talking about surprises they are inevitable in the game of sports we can't overlook that point only that it's not in our control to when and how these surprises should happen. Another stuff that defeats our analysis of a game about the possibility of the results is hard-luck, when a team is experiencing hard luck in a match they can play all they know how to with every skills and tactics they possess but

 still won't be able to score a goal to win the games, a common experience in football games is where you be seeing a lot of shots hitting wood/bar and the game ending in draw eliminating your prediction of a winning outcome in the game. Another is injury in the course of the match but I don't want to stress on that right now.

Hey house someone need a few clips here, don't know if a post of this exact nature has been discussed though.

In a situation where the both spouse are gamblers. Husband gambles, wife gambles, how can both of them manage the situation in terms of finance and the family affairs especially when children are now involve so that the time both spends on gambling doesn't affect family moments and affairs in general.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.
Initially, women are created to be home builders, pillars of the family and the people meant to take care of the basic domestic work & children at home, and as such, it will be very bad for someone who is meant to be a builder, pillar and carer of the family to little or no chance for the family due to gambling. This scenario is far different from if had both parties been employed whereby the wife's salary is 3 times the salary of her husband's, the you asked who should resign, then everybody would have said let the husband resigned, since the wife earns more than 3 times his salary. But in this case where both are mere gamblers, it's nice if the wife gives up. (But if she is a very good sport betting analyst, then she could be analysing games for his husband).
wow this is getting more interesting I love this perspective of yours  but before I build on it I'll like to correct the perception of men now still having that mentality of women being house keepers and care givers of the children of the home only, in today's world the man can always come in, like in modern society it's like a 50-50 responsibility of the home-care between the man and woman. 

Now on the gambling side, I'll have agreed with you to an extent that the woman should quit for the man because both aren't working for the time being but if she's the one very good at it with a creative analytical knowledge on the activity why not she just continue and the husband who's less good quit for her, rather than she now assisting him to analyze games before he plays them. Isn't it as same thing as both of them gambling still?
846  Economy / Speculation / Re: What did you think will happen to Bitcoin before January? on: December 11, 2023, 02:35:15 PM
With my analysis and observation, I think before January there will be an inflation in Bitcoin. This coin have depreciate to it stop limit, that is where it can not further depreciate again.
And whenever this coin gets to this point, it reverses back and then boom and trust me it's about time.
Bitcoin has been of a success from the second quarter of this year and all analysis at this period of the ending of the year to January next year and with how the price has performed currently it will definitely indicate a good price rise for bitcoin in the start of next year. We know for a certain nobody can actually say what will happen to the price of bitcoin as the new year would start if the bullrun will take off before the expected months or after, however, it doesn't mean that a fall can't happen and if it does happen it wouldn't be a significant fall based on how close within we are for the bullrun.

Not all rich kids fall in this net, there are rich kids that are well breed in the moral conduct and management of money while these are not that many it is the other camp of the wayward kids that are saturated all over living the city life like they own the city and every party buzzing in the town you probably see them there. Steadying chopping life without corresponding Investment for the future.

They feel $300k will never get finished as they keep spending, forgetting that when you remove even $1 dollar from $300k it's no longer $300k but $299,999 and the reality is that the value has dropped and that's how it keeps dropping to zero if you keep on removing spending on luxuries without investing it in something reliable and profitable that will maintain the value or make it higher. Before reality hits them they are already on a zero level moving from a city boy's life to the chanties.

Our future is ours to decide what it would be for us, no one is coming to save you if you fail to save yourself with the little you have in your possession going to waste. Real life.

Would it help if  one of the couple quit for the other and if that's the case who should quit for who.

I remember very well the moment when I decided to quit poker. My condition could be described as complete exhaustion. It all started very well, and I believed that I would be able to earn it on a regular basis, but then something went wrong and the earnings became very small, a streak of failures began. I borrowed money from friends, but inside I always had the feeling that I was doing the wrong thing. After four months, I had to finish poker. I have made my conclusions and now I stay away from poker rooms.

That's a tough journey. So what are you doing now? are you still gambling, and what game?

Honestly, if gambling is already affecting us, we have to quti early before it will make a damage. And with regards to OP's matter being raised, it's a wife and a husband are both gambler, it's too negative although I would say there's nothing wrong with that, but most people I know where both parents are gamblers, they end up struggling financially.
It gets easier to quit when you not really been enmeshed into gambling that deep and your addiction level is at the surface level otherwise quiting gambling or any other kind of addictive practices it doesn't just happen overnight, it takes a rigorous and conscious gradually processes to eventually leave totally.

On the other hand, when it involves a husband and wife in the gambling of a thing the situation is very technical to handle even as it's not bad that both spouse gamble, no matter how the struggle to maintain responsible gambling practices there will still be key areas of the family life their gambling life will affect the family negatively which won't happen to be so if it's just one of them that's into gamble. That's why I feel one should quit but who will it be is just the hard nut to crack here.

It's gradually getting me worried that Reece James is all of the time not fit in many games he had played for the blues since he arrived. He has missed many game due to injuries and it's affecting his form in Chelsea, if he has to be in his best then he has to be physically fit for the competition, not going in and out.

Unfortunately Doucoure has put Everton on the lead with a 1 goal in this game in the 54 minutes of play and Chelsea are not responding as a team that wants an equalizer, it's the usual Chelsea inconsistent,  weak playing pattern that doesn't give expected results. It's pathetic that a team with big tag price players are playing this badly.

The gambler who had more experience in gambling,whether wife or husband should play the game and the less experience can quit the game to make the results.Because if the both family members involved to the gambling,then they will face the financial problem.If one had do the gambling loss and other make profit, this leads neither loss and nor profit.The experience gambler made the profit and the other quit the game means,they take some money into their pocket.If both husband and wife can make money in gambling,they can do gambling on their own knowledge.Winning only the reason in the gambling,the family also need of money in gambling.
Quite interest you are the first person that have given an idea different from what all other members have raised I don't know for sure  if both spouse will agree to quit, however when the cue is raised about  the best and experienced should continue while the one with lesser experience and with much losses should be the one to drop, rationally that will make sense to both spouse to amicably agree.

Gambling can be so enticing and addictive so there has to be a strong defensive reasons why you have to tell a person to quit it, otherwise there might be a matter of contention for both parties involved. Also, it shouldn't be based on gender too because at this current era gambling is no gender based activity.

It therefore means data analysis isn't 100%  sure but can serve as a lead way to making the correct bet options in your bet predictions while using your own intellect too in decoding what from what could be a likelihood away from what is not, and in addition to luck.
Data analysis cannot be 100% accurate, but it can help people doing the analysis find the right team to bet on. They may need to learn more so they can improve their analytical skills and be even better. For this reason, those who frequently bet on sports must have good analytical skills so they can get accurate information, even if it could be more accurate because it will depend on the match. At least they can choose a team that has greater potential to win than the opposing team. By using correct analysis, they will get more information, especially if they can find sources that can provide more accurate information.
The importance of data analysis in sports betting can't be over emphasized despite how much bookmakers attempt to influence and mislead us in the information we gathering. Like you said it depends on the gambler in finding the right team, for instance in the EPL we know those teams that are in great form and consistent performance this season.

I got this belief now that bookmakers are already knowledgeable about these aspects, and they take them into consideration when establishing a betting line for a specific game.

How about you? Do you share the same perspective or not?
Gambling is a psychological battle which only the most intelligent that is many times fast ahead of you will always win . True, by good analytical skills you can make a win especially with sports bets but that being said, bookmakers have taken an advantage of the analytical and history of the game to play smart ahead of the gambler by deceiving us with data's they only want  us to see and believe.

It therefore means data analysis isn't 100%  sure but can serve as a lead way to making the correct bet options in your bet predictions while using your own intellect too in decoding what from what could be a likelihood away from what is not, and in addition to luck.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 09, 2023, 03:46:19 PM
The first match of the day will be between Crystal Palace and Liverpool. Liverpool are second in the league behind Arsenal. And if they win this game they will be the league leaders, one game more than Arsenal. Crystal Palace are winless in their last 4 league games. On the other hand, Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 7 league games. Liverpool are in better form than their opponents. I think Liverpool will win this match. I think they will have a comfortable win today.
The Liverpool match against Crystal Palace is still going, the match is still goalless, and they are already in the second half. From my observation of the match, I can't say Liverpool will win the match because Crystal Palace has not beeing given them any chance to make a good move to their net. Liverpool is the team with ball possession but  not short goal on target, and Crystal Palace has got one short on target, so what I think will happen in the game is a draw, or if Liverpool is lucky, they can probably win, but I can't see they will win with what they are playing.


Edit: Liverpool score a brilliant goal through Mohammad Salah, and we have a red card for the Ayew now in remaining 12 minutes we will have Crystal Palace play with 10 men and this is good chance for the full three points and leading the league table.
Incidentally it was another disappointing match for the Crystal palace side playing with a 10 man team due to a red card to one of their own, Ayew. Great player Mo. Salah with his assist and the goal in that game that gave his team the winning, now positioning Liverpool at the top of the EPL table with 1 point ahead of Arsenal who are now in second position. And just maybe if Arsenal could get a win against Aston villa tonight they be back at the top in no time with 2 points ahead.

Mo. Salah this season has been exceptional having scored 14 goals and 8 assists in his 22 appearance this season, currently with a total of 150 EPL goals and most likely to be listed in the all time list just behind Germaine Daffoe with a record of 162 goals.

I think they will have a comfortable win today.
In the EPL we have watched many early kick-off games usually ending in a draw result after full time, based on that with my instinct I don't think Liverpool will be winning today's game of which they probably may not lose either.  Just as we saw in the mid week in the game between Aston Villa vs Manchester City many of us didn't expect it that Villa would be so solid on Manchester City, winning that game with a 1:0 result possessively. Who knows! Just maybe, it could be a likelihood for Liverpool today against crystal palace, a team we picture as a weak team this season due to their performance.

As for the game between Arsenal and Aston villa this evening  I don't know who's going to have all three points in the bag but by form Arsenal are a far better side than Villa whoni see in that too for table as just position holders to qualify for the European competition's next season unlike Arsenal that are bend on aiming for nothing but the EPL title.

First is excitement, I was and still excited, but somehow, I have this feeling of fomo running through me, I feel like I have not enough bitcoin and I am highly tempted to buy even more now Grin, this was the same amount of bitcoin I was very comfortable with during the bear seasoning.

Anyone else feeling same way?
Op that's the "how I wish" syndrome running through your head.

How I wish I had bought much more than I did!

How I wish this... How I wish that...

Innately as humans we are not satisfied with what amount of a thing we own, we can only wish we had more, but have you asked yourself what happens to those that have just a piece/little of what you have, it about those that don't even own it BTC at all?

Maybe with this food for thought we can always appreciate the amount of bitcoin we have been able to accumulate and hodl, and them work out ways to continue accumulating more because that amount bitcoin you think you haven't accumulated well enough is someone's else's dream of reaching at as a bitcoin owner.

So far so good, let enjoy the bullrun and the profits the follows, no FOMO no worries. Grin

First, as an internet you always come across scammers it is inevitable and it gets worsen when you become a crypto user which is why at all time we have to be vigilant and to treat everyone we don't know as a suspect before anything else. When you create that attitude of treating people as suspect you will be careful on how you deal with them and whatever link you see online. And in the forum ignore all PM's from users you don't telling you about any juicy returns project, you will only end up being scammed.

The bullrun period is the period scammers for the most part scavenge for gullible newbies with sugar coated approaches and promises about quick doubling of their crypto in a professional way, by using the excuse of them arriving at bitcoin late and for them to catch up the train quick at the pace of others they have to render certain personal informations to them (the scammers) to help them in doing the needed mechanics.

 Newbies be aware that all of these!.

Well, finally Manchester United scored the second goal and won the match, McTominay deserves to be man of the match today after scoring 2 goals. On Chelsea side, this defeat will confirm Chelsea status as an unstable team where in each of the last 5 matches they will experience a win, draw and loss but yeah overall it's not bad because the one who beat them was another strong team starting with Newcastle and Manchester United today.
I've never seen such an spectacular and remarkable performance from Manchester United, the way the players and supports echoed chants of victory, it was really out of tract for the Blues and their supporters. They chilled down and couldn't belive their very eyes the type of danger that have befallen them. Erik Ten Hag have been praised by the wonderful display tonight at Old Trafford and that's the exact way they want to see Manchester United perform, because that will elevate them in all round performance. McTominay should be crowned MOTM after netting a brace against Chelsea.

I am just going to say this and I am sure I am going to get a lot of hate for this. But Manchester United was able to beat Chelsea because Chelsea is not performing well at all currently. The performance of Chelsea is pretty bad. Even weaker opponents are able to win against Chelsea.  So this had to be a three-point for Manchester United. And by the looks of it, I actually thought that Manchester United might walk away with only one point from this match. But luckily they kept pushing and got the three points in this match.  Let’s see if they can actually continue performing well.
Before Manchester United succeeded in defeating in two of their different games they met with Tottenham and Manchester City they performed very well expecially with the game they had with Tottenham.  This games they had with Tottenham and Manchester City gave many people the impression that Manchester United won't be able to defeat Chelsea because of how Manchester have been struggling for sometime this season,  but Manchester ended with a victory which was a surprise.  With this lose from Chelsea it seems Chelsea has gone back to bad performance.
Chelsea has so much problems to combat with and take care of  right from strikers, midfielders and defenders are all without creativity. As in Chelsea had so many opportunities to score many goals in that game but they wasted all the chances like an amateur team. Enough with the experiment's by coach  Pochino it's part of what is putting the players in an inconsistent position as they keep playing out from one different wing to another not allowing players master a constant wing and position. Up till now Chelsea has no first XI team.
This problem of not having a specific first eleven was same issue that Mourinho and ole had in Manchester united and that's same issue Chelsea is facing, rotating of your squad every week or every game just reduces the mentality of the players to actually adapt to one position and that's why most player fail to meet the expectations the coach have on them to actually play that position.

Chelsea and Manchester united yesterday all performed very poorly if you ask me because towards the early and the mid section of the second half it was totally poor performance from the both teams as the pass accuracy too was a shame.
Hey Mr.suevie you were really observant in that game both teams were just running with the ball from pillar to post, as in there were no complete passes, none of the team both Chelsea and Manchester united could be said of possessing the midfield area it was an obvious porosity more like two amateur teams playing because they were mainly running end to end with the ball.

As for Chelsea the faster the coach make decision about his first eleven team the better so that the boys can expect and be sure about their positions and worked hard towards improving on it, and swinging here and there it makes no sense. I don't know if you observed how Caceido and Enzo Fernandez were no where to be found in that game. Should Chelsea keep playing this way they might find themselves fighting with relegation again instead of a place for the European competition's next season.

when the doom they all had been waiting for fails to materialize but instead they see bitcoin soaring higher breaking range beyond their imagination, next they do is to coin excuses,"oh he just got lucky, blablabla".

Last time I checked many pessimists spreading FUD about bitcoin years ago are now hiding their faces, some have got no choice but to swallow their pride and joined the BTC camp to financial freedom while others are still scouting for excuses to massage their ego.

One thing I know for sure man, it isn't luck that got us this far, it's we doing what they feared and failed to do. Grin
