I still want to draw back your attention that anything is possible, it could be that this current ATH might be that last we may see on bitcoin. But is this really true?
This is where the problem lies because we can't give accurately the answer about the future price but we are still hoping that something positive is going to happen within or after halving. We know that bitcoin has shown us another sides of unbelievable story for breaking out ATH before the halving could fully come. Thus, there could be more pleasant surprise which is not seen.
I have 95% believe that the price we saw above the previous ATH which is 73k was a hype from the approval of ETF, and we have not started seeing the expected price that should come from the halving. You should also know that the halving triggers the bull run, and by next year bitcoin price will hit a figure that will shock so many people, just the way bitcoin price was able go above the previous ATH before the halving.

This circle is unique because of the approval of bitcoin ETF, and we might see a price as high as $170k and above as the new ATH that will be recorded for this circle. So don't feel it is over, as it is not over for the bull run yet, until the bear market comes next circle. Keep accumulating and watching the price as it skyrockets after the halving.

Due to the fact that bitcoin have been seen as one of the best assest, if not the best assest to invest in, because of the rapid growth in value which it has gain ever since creation. This have made it hopes for people who believe in it, and invest in it, as long as you understand how to invest and you have a means of income that you can use little part to invest in bitcoin. It will serve as safe haven for them in future, because the price of bitcoin increase with time-line.

However, it is not everyone that will benefit from bitcoin, because some are feeling not safe investing in it, while some are just too poor and are in an interior community where they cannot have access to the internet. Then some  believes that they are too rich or knowledgeable to invest in bitcoin. This is why not all will benefit from bitcoin, but only individuals who are have the opportunity to invest and took advantage of it.

So my beloved Reds go clear at the top of the table. I was delighted that Man City vs Arsenal was a draw, both dropped points which was perfect for Liverpool. There is such a long way to go though, I don’t think any of the 3 teams in the title race will win all their games, all 3 teams will drop points:

These are the remaining games for each team, what do you think guys?

Remaining fixtures:

Liverpool: Sheff Utd (H), Man Utd (A), Crystal Palace (H), Fulham (A), Everton (A), West Ham (A), Spurs (H), Aston Villa (A), Wolves (H).

Arsenal: Luton (H), Brighton (A), Aston Villa (H), Wolves (A), Chelsea (H), Spurs (A), Bournemouth (H), Man Utd (A), Everton (H).

Man City: Aston Villa (H), Crystal Palace (A), Luton Town (H), Brighton (A), Nottm Forest (A), Wolves (H), Fulham (A), West Ham (H).

The remaining matches for the three top teams isn't that difficult looking at the fixtures but however, just like you said there is no way either of them wouldn't lose at least a match and now that Liverpool is topping with two points have giving them another advantage to protect this lead, though Arsenal and Manchester city also seems to be dangerous looking at their game yesterday, the both teams played perfectly well hence they settled for a draw.
The top 3 teams were really entertaining yesterday as Liverpool also came from a goal down to equalize and win Brighton at Anfield.
I will agree with you that the top 3 clubs don't have tough club to play in the rest of their match. But don't you think that you are underestimating Manchester united. Both Liverpool and Arsenal are to play Manchester united, which can be a problem to one of them. This is because Manchester united is unpredictable, they can play very bad today and play as if they are the strongest tomorrow.

However, that should not be a threat to any of the two teams, because they should know how to geyt rid of United out of their way, so that Manchester united don't become an hindrance to them. It is quite a tough time now for all these three clubs, as one of them must be the winn of EPL this season, but which club.

Why would you engage yourself in a game that will not be entertaining, whatever game that you are using to gble should be a game that you love so that you can have all the fun, even when you win or lose. I would not play in a casino with boring games, or games that are not of my interest, so that I don't feel bad when I lose.

If a casino does not have the game of your choice, you can switch over to another one, so that you can enjoy the vibes of gambling.

When you are an OG in gambling just like those elderly men, gamble would be done for fun because they have pass through different phases of gambling, and yet they didn't quit. This is because they have understood what gambling is, that it should be for fun, and only little amount of money should be used. This is why they are acting that way that you said. They teach you more on the game as the are playing with you.

I have been able watch them too, what surprised me is that they will even show you the move to make. They are matured gamblers, and they are not after profit, but they do it to have fun as elderly men. Young gamblers are lousy with their bets and most of them gamble for profit.

I have never checked the license before, but I only have it at the back of my mind that for a centralized casino to operate, they must have the license from the government, especially reputable casinos. I love gambling on few casinos that  have good reputation here.

I am more of having fun with betting on the casino than verifying if they are licensed, because having the license does not guarantee that they will not come up with ugly terms and conditions to favor them, and that doesn't mean that they should be trusted 90%.

~snip~
They made attacks but not strong, in the whole match Juventus team had only 9 attacks but one of them was not successful. Juventus lost 1-0 at the end of the game.

This defeat makes it difficult for them. 4 matches have never won and that makes Juventus' position even more unsafe, it is possible that they will drop in rank if they continue to lose. Their target to enter the UCL could fail because their matches are inconsistent. Juventus should regret that they weakened in extra time. Allegri must improve immediately so that they remain safe in the UCL Zone until the end of the season.
Juventus could drop out of the UCL spot race if it continues to lose in the coming games like this which is also ruining its chance to participate in UCL next season. It appears that Juventus is gradually losing its chance as a result of the mistakes made by the players themselves and it probably continuously to happen. It began with their inconsistency while playing the game at attacking or defending. It also added to the negative vibes in the match for Juventus which is also impactful to the performance of juventus in the upcoming games.
It is Allegri's responsibility to do something about this because his contribution will be crucial in motivating his players to perform even better but who knows if his motivation didn't even work so well allegri can at very least keep try to make his club play better. Bologna and Roma are serious threats to Juventus, while AC Milan is also moving away from Juventus due to its consistent success in the GME despite low scores.

It's time for Allegri to try and arrange something to help Juventus qualify for the UCL next season. I can't believe how Juventus missed three points against. It has happened several times. The more Juventus missed it, the lower their chances of qualifying for the UCL.
It's not too late for Juventus to save it, and the club must do something to move on from this terrible performance. A team like Juventus will be in the UCL next season. It will be disappointing if the old lady is once again eliminated from the UCL due to the club's poor performance.
The financial issues and charges to the club have been resolved, and Juventus needs to return as soon as possible in order to generate additional revenue from playing in the UCL.
I thought of this, after the defeat that they had yesterday. Is like their chances of qualifying to the champions league next season is getting slimmer as the season draws to an end. I don't know what is the problem that is causing their decline in performance. They are just few points ahead of Bologna, Roma and Atlanta.

 These clubs that are on the 4th to 6th position are playing impressively to see how they can qualify to the champions league next season, but Juventus own is like the opposite. Is it that they all don't have interest to fight for the champion league spot anymore, or they are just too weak to secure a spot a for themselves in UCL.

Exactly.. Selling and expecting to buy back cheaper (to increase your BTC stash) contains a lot of uncertainties, and seems so easy in theory, but not as easy in practice.... so then one of the main logical solutions is not to sell any of your BTC unless you are expecting to not be able to buy it back.. so then that means that you either have enough or you have excess... it is difficult for a bitcoin newbie to get to a position of having enough or excess bitcoin, but if a bitcoin newbie reaches a status of having enough or too much BTC, then he has more options regarding how to treat his BTC holdings.

so that also means that if the goal of selling your BTC is to be able to get more BTC, then that makes less sense than just continuing to buy BTC.. so that if you conclude that you don't have enough, you just keep buying until you have enough or too much.

I understand what I am saying does not make sense to some people, especially those who really believe that there is some value to try to sell BTC in order to buy back more, and so they are free to employ such strategy, which has questionable odds of success.. especially if it ends up getting the guy out of the buying and accumulating mindset.. which truly is the most assured way to actually build a bitcoin stash to high amounts.
he uncertainty in this step is of course if they don't have the patience to wait, but if they are patient maybe they can buy it back at a cheap price . But selling to be able to add BTC by accumulating at a low price is often not in accordance with our expectations. Meaning that after they sell, the price actually goes up and at the same time they cannot control it so they buy back at the highest price, which will harm them in paying trading costs. And also their targets were really not achieved.
Exactly, when you sell and indeed to buy back at a cheaper price you might end up not buying back because of so many reasons, which we cannot predict the outcome of what would happen by tomorrow. If you sell to buy back, it destabilize the purpose of investing and increasing your bitcoin portfolio. Patient does not have any role to okay here, because you are waiting for a time that you don't know when the price will dip for you to buy back, and you keep waiting hodling fiat that is depreciating in value.

Another reason is that there can be a scenario that will play out financially, that can make you spend from the cash with you that you intend to use to buy back, and when the dip will come, you might have little cash left to buy, which you will regret it. Patience is for long tern hoers will are accumulating of maintaining their bitcoin portfolio for the future, and not for people that think they are smart to sell and buy back.

Rodrigo has penetrated and broken the defense of Bilbao with a beautiful drive from outside the 18 yard box, as he was given space to go in between Bilbao defenders, and took a wonderful strike to score an early goal on the 9th minutes of the game.

Real Madrid are fully prepared for this game, as Rodrigo goal as made it a total of 9 goals scored this season. Bilbao is the club that have gotten more clean sheets this season than any other club, but let's see what happens tonight.

Real Madrid 1-0 Bilbao

A quick lead is never good from the opponent's point of view against Real Madrid, but against most expectations this game is going back and forth and Real Madrid isn't dominating the game. In other words, this won't be an easy win for them. For the sake of an exciting finish in La Liga, it would be great to see Real Madrid tie or lose this game against Bilbao. I have nothing against Madrid, but the upcoming clasico would be more fun to watch knowing that Barcelona could significantly close the gap. But well, it is not very likely that Real Madrid will allow for Barcelona to get too close again this season.
It is now clear that Bilbao is not capable of drawing or winning Real Madrid, as Rodrigo have scored his second goal in the match with a superb finish this time from the left wing. I think those defenders cannot hold him down from scoring again if he sees the opportunity, because he beats them easily.

Rodrigo is doing the job perfectly, as Vini is on suspension today. Real Madrid have maintained their eight points gap. Barcelona played with a weak team to secure three points with a weak performance. Barcelona will drop points in El Classico, because they are vegetables to Real Madrid. The match is on the 83rd minutes, and the scoreline is still 2-0.

Both Arsenal and Manchester City are under pressure, none of them wants to lose that is why the first half of the match was not interesting to watch because all the two teams were very cautious, they don’t want to make any mistake that will caused them a goal because any team that concede first might end up losing the match.
I sense that Arsenal is facing greater pressure compared to Manchester City. This stems from their current position at the top of the league standings and the lingering impact of last year's encounter at this stage, which resulted in them losing their top spot. The fact that they are not playing on home turf adds to their challenges. On the other hand, Manchester City enjoys greater possession and the advantage of playing at home. They recognize that the competition involves three teams rather than just two, unlike the previous season
It seems that Arsenal had anticipated the attack from Manchester City, therefore they played more carefully today and if this match ends in a draw then Liverpool will take over the standings, in a situation like this we cannot predict who will win the title because each team is only 1-2 points behind. It's a shame that Manchester City can't take advantage of opportunities when playing at home even though this is one of the best opportunities for them to get closer to the top of the standings. Next we will wait for the match between Arsenal and Liverpool at the end of the season and this is an important match.

To be honest, none of us expected to see such a performance from Manchester City in this match. Many of my gambling friends bet on Manchester City to win today. The main reason for this was that it was City's home match. And everyone thought that City would surely avenge the defeat of the previous match in this match. But Manchester City players proved everyone wrong.

Manchester City dominated this match it is true. Manchester City players have 73% ball possession. But they are not able to attack much. Arsenal's defense has been one of the strongest defenses in the Premier League this season. City should have gone all attacking from the first half if they wanted to score against Arsenal. I would say there was something wrong with Guardiola's match tactics. And this is why Manchester City have shared the points in two consecutive important matches.
The fact is that Arsenal learnt from their mistake last season against Manchester city. It was almost the same time last season, that they both clashed, and Arsenal was also using maybe one or two points to gap them, and they dealt with Arsenal. That victory game Manchester city a better advantage to win the match.

This is why I would not blame Arsenal for putting more effort on their defense than attacking. Afterall sharing of the points is better than allowing one club to walk away with all three points. Arsenal are in their super form, and I wish them well in winning the league if they can. I also thought that Manchester city would use the advantage of playing at home over Arsenal, but there was no difference.
892  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: March 31, 2024, 04:25:07 PM
Manchester City vs Arsenal is a strong Premier League game taking place, and it has already rolled into half-time. Although there is a strong attack between the two teams, neither side managed to score in the first half of the game due to which the game is still in the middle. And in today's game there are enough attacks between the two teams, but neither team is able to keep the ball in the goal net due to which the result is 0-0 between the two teams so far. Today's match is very important for both teams in the Premier League, if they don't get it, they will definitely lose points. And if Manchester letter don't win today's match completely, they must be below Arsenal. And if Arsenal wins today's match, then Liverpool will take the place again, so both teams will try enough to win. And I think today's match might be a draw till the last minute.
It is still a goalless draw in the first half, and none of the teams could find the back of the net. What a tough first half in which both teams don't want to make any mistakes, because they it will cost them a lot to recover back from any defeat.

Both teams played wonderfully, but their defense was very tight that penetrating it becomes a problem. The second half will tell us more if the match will end in a draw or not. However, Liverpool have taken the lead. This make draw the only option for both teams if they want to still stay on track in the title race.

When you have one or more children, you have heavy responsibilities. Sometimes you're on a tight budget. Can being a parent change our playing habits? Are losses even harder to bear when you're in charge of a family? What are your experiences in this area?

It can but it depends on the individual. Some persons may feel pressured as a parent (having to provide for the family), and would not stop because they are finding that one winning ticket. Meanwhile some others would consider that they can’t take care of their family based off on gambling predictions, and would rather use that money to solve something while investing that time into something that is worth it.
Any gambler that forgets about his family welfare and use the money to gamble believing to win big, so that he can use the money on his family is not a responsible person, and he is also an addict. It is only an addict that will put his gambling activities as priority, instead of the important needs first.

A responsible person will minimize his gambling activities in order to take proper care of his family needs, because he is a responsible gambler. It will help him not to get addicted as little time will be dedicated to gamble unlike when he was single.

I guess most people will be wrong because everyone thinks that Arsenal can't win against Bayern Munich, I don't really understand that.
Arsenal is a really good team and they can deal with Bayern Munich..
As I said, the games are very close to being played and we will know the result soon.

I just wish people can stop underrating Arsenal and at least give them their die respect. They are playing great football now and as such, they should be hyped based on that and not be judged on what happened several years  ago when all of the present squads were not present in the squad that Bayern Munich won that day in both legs of the champions league game. Arsenal are playing good football ever since from last season and that was what gave them the qualification to this round of the Champions league. Until the game is played, we shouldn’t underrate both teams, let them show us what they got in the field of play.
Yes, no one should underestimate Arsenal, because after all, if they are in the quarter-finals, it means they are the 8 best teams in the Champions League this season. In my opinion, underestimating a team that is in the quarter-finals is a mistake.
Arsenal are also competing in the Premier League to become champions, with facts like that we should be able to know the strength of this team, yes this season they are showing something good so that even in the English league they can still compete to become champions. This is something we cannot deny that they have risen, and they are no longer the team they used to be where they always disappoint. Arsenal have the ability to inflict defeat on Bayern Munich in this Champions League quarter-final match, so no one should underestimate them. However, I am sure Bayern Munich will not do something ridiculous like that, yes they will consider Arsenal an opponent they have to be very wary of.
You shouldn't blame anyone who is underestimating Arsenal, because they just see it from their own perspective that Arsenal might not be able to go beyond the stage. The reason is because, they are playing with a club that is more experienced than them in the Champions League. If I want to start naming one of Arsenal players that is certainly going to net the post on that match day, I cannot call any.

Arsenal for the first time after 2007/2008 have managed to reach the quarter final with a penalty shootout, which shows that it was a narrow escape, and a game of luck. However, we might think that the gunners don't have any bullet in their gun, but will take some shots on that day.

There is no doubt in the statement above that Nigeria is the largest economy in Africa,  but then also I am beginning to be tired to read ops mentioning oil as the only resources in his write despite the fact that in current reality of things, crude oil is no longer a viable mineral resources.

Because developing and developed countries around the world have move away from oil as a means of revenue generation for their countries economic sustainability so for continues growth and to remain the giant of Africa,  Nigeria need to move away from oil as the major source of revenue and start looking inward to other resources that can enable Nigeria to become self sustaining and producing state instead of the correct consumers economy we presently run in Nigeria.
I agree with you on the above, the problem that Nigeria is having is old people becoming the ones in power. Why I said this is that, every new technology was discovered by youths which are 50 years of age and below. This is a technology Era, and how do you want this acade old men to understand this. During their youth age was when crude oil was discovered, and they made a lot of money from it, to the extent that all the citizens of Nigeria is more concerned of the crude oil that the country has, than other natural resources.

These old men that was young when crude oil was discovered, and have seen how much comes out from there, are the same people fighting to go back to power so that they can steal the country's fund from crude oil, because that is only what they believe in. They are old and sick leaders that are Nigeria presents both past and present, which is the country funds that most of them was using to threat themselves.

The bottom line is that Nigeria has intelligent and high tech leaders with good innovation that if they are allowed to be in power, other resources would be exploited from, and not putting all your attention on crude oil to steal the money. Until the old and sick people stop to be the president, Nigeria is remain sick and be in an old fashion thinking that only crude oil is the resources to show concern on. Old, corrupt and sick presidents is the problem of Nigeria.

I don't see why I have to give away $17k worth of bitcoin to random addresses, when your bitcoin is in your cold storage. How would government know that you have bitcoin if you did not keep it in a centralized exchange. The best thing is to give your bitcoin to your heir when you want to pass on.

You do this by teaching them how bitcoin work, and even open noncustodial wallet for them, and put little amount of bitcoin for them to understand how to transfer bitcoin from one address to the other. Are you buying an estate or a yatch, that you will convert a huge amount of bitcoin to fiat which will bring people attention or the government, to the extend that they will tell you to pay tax.

When using bitcoin for payment of whatever you are purchasing, if you are lucky, you can pay with your bitcoin, to the trader if he accepts, and nobody would know what happened. If I want to give away, I will give it to charity and not some random bitcoin addresses that I don't know if it bongs to a scammer or the government. Some charity organizations accepts donations in bitcoin. It is only fiat that can be done that way. After all your relation used fiat and not bitcoin.

Barcelona vs Las Palmas:
Here we go, guys Barcelona have won the match and got 3 points to maintain 2nd place in the league table despite being just 5 points away from the top place, but unfortunately Real Madrid sre dominating the first place and aren't letting him take 1st place.
 
But anyway let's talk about match status. Barcelona have played so well that they are just dominating the game with their pretty good performance in the first half. R. Lawandoski also scoreed at the beginning of the first half but was disallowed due to offside and a lot of chances were missed by the Barcelona side. At last Raphina put the ball into the net at 59 minutes to secure three 3 and remain in second place in the league table. Now Barcelona will just focus on UEFA champions league matches against PSG. Let's see what will happen next at UCL: will they continue to win the match or not.
 
 Share your opinion with us.

It is all good and they got their 3 points, reached their goal. But there was a talk whether Barcelona can make the title race exciting again and honestly this game was a big disappointment in my opinion. How is it possible that Barcelona against a team that is one man down only wins 1-0? This has nothing to do with a superb Barcelona team. It was a shame and the fact that Las Palmas managed to shoot 8 times during the game whereas Barcelona only had 11 shots in contrast, I think this is quite revealing about their condition. They won't win the Champions League and they won't win La Liga. They need a complete reset to grow big in the coming years again.
Yea, it is a shame on Barcelona to finish the game with just one goal, even with shut one that their opponent had. However, as long as they are able to have 3 points, it is a good result.

I believe that they know what they are doing, and Xavi is only after securing three points no matter how the goal was scored and how many goals. He might be reserving the players for the champions league since he knows that he cannot win Laliga but might want to make sure that his players go far in the champions league.

Napoli will soon lose every UEFA competitions spots and might risk not playing any international game next year by the end of the season. Their results aren't satisfying, only two points out of 9 in the last three matches and things don't seem to be promising when we find them taking 3 goals from Atalanta without scoring any.

Later today, we will see if Juventus will be as unlucky as Napoli or they will recover. Milan game isn't that easy too against Fiorentina. I expect Milan to win and Juventus to draw.
Napoli situation is bad and they can lose their position to Fiorentina or Lazio but the league is on going and Napoli can complete this season with a spot to Conference League. It is not what they ambitiously aimed at when the season started months ago but now they can not hope for a higher position than that.

At least AC Milan can help Napoli this week but there will be more weeks and matches so Napoli must fight by themselves and can not rely other clubs in Serie A to beat Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio for Napoli benefit.
Napoli needs to fight for themselves if they want to be in any European competition, and not using Milan to have hope. Their performance was very poor today with a porous defense which gave Atalanta the opportunity to win them on clean sheet in Napoli's home. What a disappointment from Napoli today.

Atalanta is now on the 6th position with one point behind Roma. They still have an outstanding match which if they win, they would put Roma behind them to be 5th on the table. There is still big possibility of Atalanta going to the Champions League next season if they keep up with their consistency, because Bologna who is sitting on the 4th position is 5 points ahead of them.

The reason why there are addicted gamblers is that most of them thought that gamble is a means of making profit or they think that gamble is an alternative way for someone to get rich without any effort of working. This orientation have blind folded a lot of people who are just coming into gambling.

Only few addicted gamblers got addicted because of using gamble to pass time. If anybody that is going into gamble is aware that gamble will only take what you have, and there is a slim chance of making profit in gamble, they will gamble responsible, and would not use big amount of money to bet that would affect their emotions to the extent of chasing their losses.

It depends on the level of addiction, and if the gambler stays with his family, that would make him keep it secrete and they would not know that he is addicted. If his addiction just started, it is better that I advice him and keep it secret from his family members.

If he is a compulsive gambler, there is no way that his family members staying with him will not know. If they are not close to him, they might find it difficult to know. So in this case, I will open up to his family, so that they can put their heads together, and help him out of his addiction through any means possible.
