901  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is fun, watching with bet or without a bet? on: December 13, 2023, 02:27:33 PM
I think betting and watching matches is very fun, especially if we choose the right bet and win. Especially football, because I like football and I also like playing football so even if the result of my bet wins or loses I can still enjoy the match.
So there are two good points there, when I win the bet and also watching the match becomes more tense and exciting. Indeed, sometimes when I lose and choose the wrong team and lose, I feel annoyed and disappointed. However, that is only for a moment and will also be a correction for me to improve my abilities and also look for the best information to take into consideration.

Hope punters and sports fanatics around the world weren't expecting big results from teams like Arsenal who have already qualified  and secured that top spot regardless of a win or lose and such games are all for formalitie sake and wouldn't waste time watching such matches...

On the other hand a game I would recommend watching today is Manchester United facing Bayern Munich or Galatasaray vs Copenhagen as these games haven't been decided on who qualifies or not besides Bayern... and with one spot to go for one of the biggest  football competitions we should expect some fireworks as the 3 teams fight for the last spot and am rooting for a winner to come from either Galatasaray or Copenhagen...
Yes, actually this match is just for fun or also just for formalitie as you said because Arsenal is guaranteed to qualify, if Arsenal really serious they could probably score a lot and this match would be very interesting. The squad Arsenal must prepare for another important match, and they must be in good condition but at least the match wasn't too boring quite exciting because both teams can scored.

Correct, Galatasaray Copenhagen Manchester United on the race to get the second ticket, and the Galatasaray vs Copenhagen match will be very hot. Both of team have been quite good in defensively so far, the first half ended without a score and now the second half is likely to be crazier, because victory must be achieved. By the way, when I write this post, Copenhagen can scored one and now they are leading.
In my opinion, in the PSV match against Arsenal there were no formalities or anything like that. Even if they win, draw or lose, they can still qualify for the next round, they have to keep playing professionally and show their best performance because the Champions League is a very prestigious competition and they have to keep playing well.

And currently the score between Manchester United vs Bayern Munich is 0-1 and Copenhagen vs Galatasaray 1-0, and if the score does not change until the end of the match then Bayern Munich and Copenhagen will advance to the next round. And Copenhagen is actually not the favorite team in Group A, but in the remaining group stage matches Copenhagen provided a surprise.

Even though PSV and Arsenal are certain to qualify for the round of 16, the match between PSV and Arsenal was exciting. And in this match, in my opinion, both teams have the same performance and squad, the current score in the first half, Arsenal has scored 1 goal against PSV.
Even though Arsenal had a slight lead in possession of the ball, PSV also fired 13 shots, and 3 of them were shots on goal. Meanwhile, Arsenal only fired 5 shots and 1 shot managed to score a goal, the goal was scored by Nketiah in the 42nd minute.
The match in the first half was quite tough, and in my opinion PSV had a chance to score a goal in the second half and Arsenal had to strengthen their defense and also take advantage of counter-attack moments to add goals.
904  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is not a quick rich and get poorer investment. on: December 12, 2023, 08:39:48 AM
Bitcoin cannot not make you poor when you know what you are doing and is more valuable and can make you rich when you wisely trade in futures.
I agree with your point that holding onto Bitcoin for the long term can indeed be a lucrative strategy. It has the potential to make you wealthier over time. However, when it comes to futures trading, I have a different perspective. Frankly, engaging in futures trading isn't a reliable path to sustainable wealth. It's crucial to distinguish between these two categories. Utilizing funds that are earmarked for long-term Bitcoin holding in futures trading carries significant risks. While you might possess the wisdom and skills to navigate this, the reality is that most individuals end up facing losses.

There's a substantial risk of losing everything before witnessing a substantial increase in prices through futures trading. This is undeniably unfortunate. I've witnessed numerous instances where individuals lost their entire initial capital, money they initially planned to invest in the market, due to a fleeting moment of greed in participating in futures trading.

OP is right in saying that bitcoin is not a get rich quick investment, but it is confusing that he then mentioned futures trading when this is one of the ways to get rich quick in the market with risks extremely high risk. That proves that OP still does not have a full understanding of investing in bitcoin and he is also looking for a way to get rich quickly in this market.

Like you, I have not seen anyone who can succeed with futures trading but there are many people who fail. It can be said that up to 90% of people participating in futures trading cannot make a profit.
This is what confused me with the OP, he stated that Bitcoin is not a get rich quick investment. However the OP states that futures trading will make him rich, but in reality most people will be poor because Bitcoin prices are not easy to predict.
And only long term investment not futures trading will give you huge profits from Bitcoin, and whether you are rich or not, it all depends on the amount of Bitcoin you have.

It sounds like the OP doesn't have a good understanding of Bitcoin, and he also can't differentiate between investing and trading.

(....)
1. Have a amount limit you can risk on gambling every week.

2. Choose your favourite day in a week for gambling.

3. Have a time count down when gambling, to avoid spending too much time.
(....)
I agree here, especially if you choose a day or time when you will gamble because it will help you to have the best time to gamble, like you are not stress before you will start to gamble, you are completely fine, physical and emotional, with this, it will help you to control your emotion or in physical, you don't have any plans on that day or time when you are gambling, so you are not in hurry and will take some time to do gambling.
I also agree, and as for the time issue the reason is that I can only gamble on weekends and that is if I want to because other than weekends I am so busy working that I don't have time to gamble. And after I get home from work I am busy with my family and my little side job, so that on weekends I can gamble in good condition overall, and also by always limiting the time and capital I have for gambling.
Except for betting on football, because I can do it at any time because it doesn't take long, especially on favorite team matches and also exciting matches that I think have a chance of winning. Grin
906  Economy / Economics / Re: We need higher wages off course but goverment need to do one thing on: December 12, 2023, 02:32:52 AM
The government only controls the balance and also determines which prices can increase and which cannot with full consideration.
And when the prices of most basic necessities increase, the government will also increase wages and balance them, and what we need to know is, actually productivity remains the same and the same as when basic necessities and salaries were before the increase. And the government's goal of increasing wages is one way to improve the economic welfare of workers and households so that it is balanced.
However, salary increase policies must also be considered carefully and carried out thorough research, and all of this aims to avoid the impact of inflation which could be detrimental.

908  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I will invest the money to buy the land in Bitcoin. on: December 11, 2023, 06:43:42 PM
From the profit he will earn can be enough to buy land in the future. If we are smart people, we surely think about what is the best thing we do. We can say that Bitcoin investment is profitable but that will also depend on the person who invests because many people have also suffered losses. But why do we say it was a smart choice over buying land? And it is because we thought that Bitcoin has a huge profit potential and we could use the profit to buy land. 

Yes with bitcoin earning we can buy land but if we sell land for buying bitcoin then i think its not a good idea because there is a Fluctuations in the worth of bitcoin but the price of land either remain same or increase as the time passess. We should also think about risk related to the earning mechanism as bitcoin can provide huge profit but there is also some risk with it whereas in buying land we don't have any risk issue.
Investment is all about risk and two things are involved via investment either you lose or you gain and on the process selling your land to purchase bitcoin for investment, it's either the investment of Bitcoin get increased within that period or depending the duration of your investment, so if you target and purchase bitcoin when dip I think your that will be directly waiting for a bullrun

So if a bullrun come to place and the investment is still intact you did not make any withdrawal for stomach infrastructure, theirs every tendency or higher possibility that you may use your profit you make to purchase a triple sized of that particular portion of land you sold.
Maybe most will support it because we will face the next halving, and this is the moment that many people or investors have been waiting for. And they shifted their money or shifted their investment to Bitcoin because of that moment and doubled their money when the halving happened, so OP's decision to change the plan to buy land to buy Bitcoin was a good choice.
Because in the long term or when halviang comes, OP will not only get the land he wants, but will also be able to build a house and its contents. And the risk of investing in Bitcoin if done at the right time in my opinion is only a small possibility of experiencing a loss, and the most important thing is that you buy and sell it again at the right time.
909  Economy / Economics / Re: I need financial advice for my careless uncle. on: December 11, 2023, 04:17:39 PM
It sounds like your uncle doesn't need financial advice and what he needs is a good friend who can advise him and he is also willing to follow it.
Your uncle follows too much of a lifestyle and hangs out with the wrong people and as long as your uncle makes friends or associates with the wrong friends, he will always be wrong forever, unless God makes his life ruined. Maybe one day he will realize that what he did was a big mistake, because he has a wife and children who must prioritize.
And I heard that many contractors behave like that, but after God took everything they had including their skills, they realized it but it was too late. And most contractors have a lot of women, and this is not a financial problem but because money allows him to get what he wants. And in my opinion, this is more of a trait that needs to be addressed immediately. Otherwise, perhaps only destruction would bring him to his senses.
910  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Sacrifice!!! on: December 10, 2023, 08:55:05 PM
What are you willing to give up to make trading work?

• Friends
• Relationships
• Money
• Time

Your new life will cost you your old one. Without sacrifice nothing reasonable can be birthed.

The market demands a sacrifice
Everything you mentioned is important in my opinion but the most important thing is time and money in trading, because you need money to trade and time to do it and also to improve your skills and also you need a lot of time to trade.
And besides that, everyone needs friends, and friends who can entertain us and can also be our friends when we are bored, especially if our friends are on the same frequency. Can help and also exchange ideas about trading which can increase our knowledge apart from trading problems and whatever.
And relationships are also important, especially if he really supports our trading because he will motivate us and also give us sincere love which makes us even more enthusiastic.
Everything is important, but the most important thing is time. Because we have to be able to manage our time well and still prioritize time for trading and if we have good and correct friends and relationships, then everything will be fine.

It looks like also Tottenham is returning to winning ways and against Newcastle after losing some games in a row.I think this was to be expected of Newcastle who most probably is prioritizing the Champions League game on this upcoming last match day there as they need absolutely to win their game in order to have chances to progress further in the Champions League.They are playing against Milan while Tottenham is completely focused to get the three points from this game and this means that they are leading 2-0 and I don't expect the result to change much in this game because of Newcastle focus elsewhere.
It is impossible for Newcastle not to focus on this match in order to prioritize the champions league which has conceded 3 goals now to Tottenham.
Newcastle didn't look less focused against Tottenham in my opinion.
Every point they get is very important in order to open up hope of returning to the Champions League next season if their chances of survival are slim.

In their current situation, it is impossible for them to win over Tottenham. However, the opportunity to reduce the score still exists.

The match ended 4-1. Newcastle managed to score a goal at the last minute. Newcastle did not perform well in this match. Their performance was quite slow. Perhaps they are now more worried about the Champions League match. The team wants to win against AC Milan and qualify for the round of 16. After the defeat in this match, the Newcastle team is now seventh in the table. At the same time I feel good because after a long time we saw a Tottenham team play well. Tottenham won a match after losing points in 5 consecutive matches. They have lost 4 of these 5 matches.
Newcastle are not only slow, they also often lose away from home and this often happens in every game and they are scary at home.
And maybe they prioritize the Champions League match because they will face AC Milan because they have to win the match in order to advance to the next round. And I was also happy to see that Tottenham performed well again in the last match against Newcastle after the previous 5 matches without a win, and Richarlison played very well and also contributed 2 goals against Newcastle.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 10, 2023, 05:58:00 PM
I look at the results of all of Newcastle's matches and when they are at home they play very scary and apart from always winning, they also always dominate throughout the match.
And when Newcastle were guests, they played mediocre and not as scary as when they were hosts.

And as I said, the match between Tottenham and Newcastle is still ongoing and the score is currently 3-0 for host Tottenham, and there is still approximately 20 minutes of normal time remaining in the match. And there is a possibility that Tottenham will score goals again, and I also see Richarlison playing very well.

What I experienced when I first started gambling was that I was not given a win and often I lost, and the win that I got was a process and the win happened in the long term.
However, the first thing I feel in gambling is curiosity, and when I lose I feel curious and hope that on the next bet I will win. And when I win I feel addicted and keep betting in the hope that on the next bet I will win again, and these two things make me continue gambling where actually after I realize I lose more than I win.
But that has passed and has become a lesson for me and now I just gamble for fun with sufficient capital with a little hope that luck will come. If I'm unlucky, and the little capital I have prepared runs out, then I stop.

I was expecting a goal from Liverpool after they were level through Salah, and we have goal from the Elliott which bring Liverpool to the top of the league table now things are looking very interesting as after few hours we have another exciting match which will decide who is going to stay at the top for next few weeks now just few minutes remaining and Liverpool is in good control of the game.
Red card is having his impact in this game as Crystal Palace were leading, but now they are trailing and going to have another poor result which will keep them at below in league table for some more time.

Of course that's why it's called the game of football, that anything can happen. Liverpool where able to prove that experience and consistency plays a key role in this game. Crystal palace couldn't hold on to their grip after scoring one goal, Though after that Jordan Ayew Red card, it really affected crystal palace performance. Liverpool on the other hand had to capitalize on that one man down weakness on palace to unleash their firepower. It was really an interesting game, though Liverpool would have scored more goals.
I think the result of this match would have been different if Crystal Palace had not received a red card. Liverpool did dominate the game but they struggled to create opportunities. The situation started to change after the red card because automatically this will definitely affect the mentality of the Crystal Palace players, while on the other hand, this is an advantage for Liverpool.

The game was pretty much decided by that red card. Crystal palace held off Liverpool the entire game but when they received the red card everything just went Liverpools way. Liverpool again with a big comeback to win three points and this is how the title is being won when winning this games.
Liverpool were behind but finally managed to secure three points from 10-man Crystal Palace, and I think Liverpool deserved it. Because they didn't want to lose to Crystal Palace, Liverpool continued to attack and dominate throughout the match. 10 Crystal Palace players brought luck to Liverpool and changed the score to 1-2.
And in that defeat, Crystal Palace seemed to hurt themselves after taking a 1-0 lead, but that disappeared after Ayew's ridiculous red card in the 75th minute.

Blaming other people for the bad problem of gambling is childish, unless your friends always accompany you when gambling which makes you continue gambling and even become addicted and you can just blame your friends.
And most gamblers definitely started with friends, and I also found out about gambling from my friends. But I don't blame them even though I often lose, because I have learned a lot about how to gamble responsibly and you have to be aware of this. Don't just play, you also have to study the problems you face and you have to learn from your experiences and mistakes to improve and get to know gambling well so you don't gamble excessively and don't blame other people.
Remember that responsible gambling is key, and if your friend is facing a serious gambling problem, it is important to seek help as quickly as possible.

I want to make an investment with just $50 as a beginner i don't know which coin am i to start with but i heard been hearing a lot of people both physically and on social networks saying incredible things about (BTC), that is the best. please i need your assistance ??
Do it, rather than not doing it at all even if you can only afford it in small quantities. And the most important thing is that you use money that you can afford to lose and not using important money is already a good decision.
You can start with a small amount and with this you can learn and understand the beauty of Bitcoin, especially in the long term. And when you make a profit, it will motivate you to look for more money to invest in Bitcoin and still not use important or very important money.
Since you evaluate and know about Bitcoin from social networks, you should also do your own research because for now maybe the news is true because the price of Bitcoin continues to increase.
So, you should do your research and look for good news to convince you, and if you are convinced, it's best to do it now before the price of Bitcoin rises even further, and you end up getting less Bitcoin for the money you have.
918  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Investing - DCA on: December 09, 2023, 01:47:45 AM
Hi All,

I currently have between £300 - £400 left over each week from my salary in which i have been transferring in to a savings account with 4.75% interest, but recently i began to invest small weekly amounts into the popular alt coins (£50-£100) as i'm a fairly risk averse person by nature. I have recently sold those coins in my portfolio at break even or at best with small gains and re-invested the money into BTC & ETH.

My plan moving forward is to use £150 of the money available to me to purchase BTC & ETH every week with the long game in mind, but was looking for advice really on how i should split the money % wise between the two assets? 50 / 50?

i currently hold 0.096* ETH & 0.0057* BTC and have been seriously considering investing more but not sure if the amounts i have available make this worth while?
Many investors and most people are considering the choice of Bitcoin or Ethereum in the cryptocurrency market today, as both are the best coins and also the largest in terms of Capitalists in the industry. And it is also a coin that attracts more attention and analysis than other cryptos.
Actually Bitcoin and Ethereum are the best options for you, but if you want to do DCA, Bitcoin will be better in terms of profits, especially in the long run and I also recommend that you use money that you can afford to lose. And the DCA strategy is perfect for those who use extra money because it is the best way to accumulate in the long term, and you can also increase your purchases when you have a lot of extra money especially when the price of Bitcoin is down.

920  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Success or Fail? - Talking about Gambling as a major income on: December 08, 2023, 05:04:50 PM
It is mostly $100-$400 per month. I told before that i tried to bet more than today, but it was difficult enough, and i hadn`t enough time for my job. And now i bet only if i have free time. All profit i get from sport betting, mostly low leagues soccer, sometimes i play poker, some casino games, but it is only for fun - i can`t say that i win something there.
You have chosen gambling as a way to spend your free time. It may have been a great way for you to pass the time. People may participate in gambling as entertainment to pass their free time. Those who take up gambling as entertainment should never be looked down upon. But here gambling can be considered bad for those who become addicted. A fixed budget should be used especially in gambling. It is better to use 1%-5% of income for gambling.
Those who can use gambling properly can definitely enjoy gambling and will not experience problems like other gamblers experience. They will always gamble in their free time to have fun and entertainment. They have no intention of seeking to win from gambling because they know it is difficult to obtain, so they will choose just to enjoy it. But some people can win from sports betting, and that's because they can analyze the matches to find teams that have a chance of winning. But if there are people who want to use gambling as their main source of income, they will not be able to get it easily because there are many losses they will encounter. So they can only use gambling for fun and nothing more.
Only a small number can make gambling their main income, and even then they do it seriously, very carefully and also have sufficient skills. However, that doesn't mean they never lose, losing when gambling has become commonplace and the difference is that they stop when they win and stop for a moment when they experience several losses.
Gambling is not recommended as a source of income, let alone the main income for ordinary gamblers. And they should consider gambling simply as entertainment or fun in their spare time in moderation, and perhaps a little hope of getting lucky.
And I think those who make gambling their main source of income realize that gambling winnings are inconsistent, so it all depends on the gambler.
