I do not really see anything wrong with gambling at old age. If you do that responsibly and for fun without being addicted to the point of becoming a headache to your family then its okay as long as you are okay with it.To some point you should know when to call it a quit because at some stage at ones old age, you would not be able to engage in some kind of activities so it is better you start early enough to limit your gambling life style so as to enable do away with it at old age.
It true that there no problem whatsoever with gambling into old age as long as you can still have limits and gamble just for fun but at least it would be better in old age to gamble once week just to fill your free time and entertain yourself so you don't get bored.
After all gambling is choice and a right of each person and no one can prohibit it.
There are quite a lot of people out there in old age who still carry out active gambling activities either using savings or money given to them by their children but this should be more strictly limited and controlled because it can also cause child misunderstanding of parent.
Wouldn't you also be little disappointed if you gave some money to your parents for the purpose of holding on when you wanted something to buy but instead the money was used for gambling.
Personally I would oppose what my parents did when they were still actively gambling but if it was just to get rid of the boredom of gambling once week or once month with small amount of money then it wouldn't be a problem that should be discussed.
At old age gambling is done for fun because you are using it to relieve yourself bring back old memories. Since during old age you will be ledt with nothing to do or worry about, so if one uses small amount to gamble for maybe once in a month, it isn't bad. As long as it is a means of entertainment, then it is worth playing once in a while no matter what age that you are.

I feel gambling at old age is no big deal though probably if an aged person gamble, maybe they are doing that just for fun and not for profit although if they get the wins, they can go with it but as long as they are not addicted but are gambling for fun and responsibly there should be nothing to worry about as that is what they do at that age that gives them joy in doing. It only can be in a situation where the old aged individuals are prohibited by the laws of their land to not take part in gambling then that is when we can say the aged can not gamble as a result of the existing laws of the land were they belong to.

Just as you have said, maybe some of the old aged do engage in gambling to avoid getting bored and as such, they would want to either go with their friends to casinos if they can or they gather together with their friends to gamble together.

I am making this thread as a place for Bitcoiners to improve their social communication skills and to become better people. Unfortunately, the Bitcoin community seems to be exceedingly angry, arrogant, and quite evil.

Said by who? Starting a Thread about "Bitcoin social communication" and the user have the next level of communication.

And biological laboratories will also forget about safety standards so that fuckers like you perish in the next pandemic.

so Bitcoin is garbage.

I tend to ignore people who say stupid shit.

Satoshi is fucking dead.

Bitcoin is the ultimate shitcoin for having a mining algorithm that was never designed to advance science.

If you are not willing to do this, then shut the fuck up.

I learned about how fucking stupid most people are. But after I got my Ph.D., I became more and more enlightened about how nearly everyone knows absolutely nothing and is a worthless pile of trash.

If you don't want me to be here, then f@#$ you


digaran-I am ignoring you because you are one of the many shitfaces here. I cannot respond to your stupidity.

"I'm gunna fukk u upp, n***a."

-Fuck you

-Joseph Van Name Ph.D.

I have no sympathy at all for school shooting victims and their families if the shooters have been relentlessly bullied. Those f@#$ers deserve it. And yes, I will protest their funerals. Public schools provide such a poor education that the Bitcoin community cannot understand reversible computation. No. I did not just say that the Bitcoin community does not understand reversible computation. I said that they cannot understand it. They are too busy being dumb.

DeathAngel-I disagree with your assessments that school shootings are tragic events. School shooters are simply standing up to their bullies and giving them as well as all who refused to stand up for them what they f@#$ing deserve. School shooting victims will receive the worst punishment in HELL!

And that is only the first page of his posts . Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Bravo!
From the way that you talk to people OP, it shows that you are the one that lack social communication because you feel that you have phD and everyone here should be put under your armpit. The way that you are looking at things from your own side is different from other people here and don't think that everyone should accept what you say here, because we are all here to agree and disagree with each other opinion through learning and contributing positively to the forum growth, in one way or the other.

Really, Roma is playing very impressively currently in the field, and I believe they will surely win the match. I have no doubt about winning today again with the way they are playing in the field now, and again, they are very strong in their defense pattern, but all I want from them now is to add more goals so they can sub some players against their weekend match.
The second half of the game is in favor of Roma, as Belloti scored an early goal in the first minutes of the second half with a shot inside the box of their opponent. Belloti also scored the 4th goal with a good header after the ball was cross out from the corner kick. Belloti scored two goals and Roma scored three goals withing 15 minutes to give Roma three points in the match. Pellegrini was the one that scored the second goal for Roma. This is a good result for Roma in UEL.
The game ended 4-1 in favour of Roma.

I am certainly not surprised that Paris saint Germain and losing to Newcastle right now. I have always had this feeling that the game would go in the favour of Newcastle, Paris saint Germain this season is like any good team in France (I would place Lens ahead of them right now) while Newcastle wants to prove themselves in every match the player, the coach and players are in sync and the fans are loud cheering them on.

For sure Newcastle would go further than the group stage in this seasons UEFA champions league because they actually aren't just a rich club they can actually play good football.
So many people here downgraded the ability of Newcastle United to beat almost all the teams in their groups, which is very possible because they are very good defensively and their midfield is better than that of AC Milan, Dortmund, and PSG; they are just big teams that have already made names. That is why people were thinking that Newcastle United will be at the bottom of the group after all the group stage matches.

Newcastle is now winning PSG 3-1, and PSG is playing its best squad. I am very confident that Newcastle will win this match because they have the ability to defend their goals till the final minutes.

Many people that made initial predictions were making reference to their poor Premier League start Newcastle United have, which is now gone because they have improved their league performance because they beat Manchester City in a cup and are also the club that scored the highest number of goals in one match in the Premier League this season; therefore, I am expecting them to qualify ahead of Milan and Dortmund.
Newcastle have certainly cleared the doubt of everyone and critics on the height of standard  that this team has come to achieve, although PSG are not in the best state of a team because the team is currently facing devastating gameplay and performance but we actually can't deny the fact that this Newcastle team are no longer a team to underestimate because they are now in the top of their performance.

But to say the truth I actually never expected them to be this poor against Newcastle, I mean a score of 3goals to one is certainly a poor results for the height that PSG is currently rated in football.

very strong performance today indeed from newcastle and a poor outcome for psg,

Newcastle just scored a 4th goal which is super embarassing for Psg if  the score wasnt already,  they had only 2 shots on target all game,  this match certainly looks like a dream come  true  for longtime newcastle fans,  who would have thought few years ago they would see something like this ?

What a shock on PSG performance tonight as they were defeated like babies by Newcastle today with all the quality players that they have in the club. Newcastle took the match very serious and were determined to get all three points, which they made possible.

PSG didn't play as if they really wanted to win the match because they failed to utilize the opportunities that they had in the first half. Newcastle deserves the win since they worked for it and it was clear that PSG deserves the defeat. The only goal that was scored by PSG was to console themselves.
947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 04, 2023, 08:27:27 PM

Newcastle are now leading with a 1 goal from Almiron in just 17 minutes of play with a great attacking performance and just as my guts told me regarding Newcastle current form they won't be an easy side to beat tonight despite playing against an much experience UCL side PSG.

mancity are missing kelvin Debryune beautiful free kicks, Leipzig defending very fine making sure city do not see those gaps to secure a goal but city keep pressurizing which has earned them a 1 goal too scored by foden. It seems the EPL teams are taking vengeance based on the scoreline of yesterday's results with the two EPL team losing their games.

PSG is not only one goal behind, but now they are 2-0 behind Newcastle. None of the PSG players managed a shot on target in the first half, even if they had 3 shots. Newcastle's defense was so good that PSG's attackers had difficulty penetrating and finding space to shoot, clearly this was not a good sign for PSG.

Meanwhile, Barcelona managed to close the first half with a score of 0-1 through Ferran Torres' goal. It started with Romário Baró's mistake which then allowed Ilkay Gundogan to provide a fine assist for Ferran's goal. Unfortunately Lewandowski had to suffer an injury due to the hard tackle he received in the first half, this is clearly bad for Barcelona if the injury is serious enough.

The game between Newcastle and PSG was the one I wanted to see the most as it was really unclear to me who would take control of the game. PSG has overwhelmingly more ball possession and Newcastle has all the chances. This is odd because PSG has one of the strongest offensive trio out there and despite almost 70% ball possession they are not able to create chances? I wonder how that is possible and that not even Mbappe was able to have a shot on target. It can only mean that Newcastle is defending extremely well here and that is usually a difficult job against so many high level offenders. But this is also a bummer for PSG I am sure. This was the game that they should have won and they would have earned some respect back.
PSG is not believing what they are seeing the this match, I don't know if they underestimated Newcastle or PSG is not fit to play Newcastle. Longstaf has scored an early goal in the first half with a wonderful strike which went straight inside the post.

There are still more goals in this second half, the only person that I feel for is Mbappe because PSG does not worth his quality because they are bringing down his potentials.

Hernandez has broken the deadlock lock for PSG with a header 5 minutes after Newcastle scored their third goal, which is on the 60th minutes. It is like PSG have woken up from their slumber after the goal because I see that they want to start pressuring Newcastle to score a second goal. Its 3-1 against the visitors

As long as it was from twitter, I disagree that it is Satoshi. Anyone can just wake and claim to be Satoshi, Elon must be part of this game because he will know what is happening behind this claim since he owns X.

Imagine when Faketoshi came out on twitter to claim Satoshi, is when Elon has bought twitter, and let's not also forget that Elon sold his bitcoin few months ago for some shitcoin, which shows that he knows a lot to this.

We need to be careful of scammers because they can come in different ways to get their prey.
949  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What is this fascination with claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto? on: October 03, 2023, 11:15:10 PM
So many things are involved but money is the first followed by firm and respect. Eveyone one knows what Satoshi has done and that is why some persons are claiming to be him, so that they use that medium to extort people through fake identity.

I will say that those persons that are claiming to be Satoshi are scammers, and every scammer can do anything to get whatever that they want. They might even go to the extent of opening a university and claiming that they are teaching people about bitcoin technology to deceive and extort money from people.

Manchester united is still struggling to beat their opponent,  despite the squads they use to start the game and the game ended up draw 1:1 in the 45 minutes. Real Madrid is showing Napoli that they are not small team they can beat easily in this UEFA champions league because, Real Madrid is leading the game with 2:1 to calm the stadium down for their fans to seat comfortable in their various seat. If Real Madrid can maintain this solid defensive through out the game it will be the thing of joy for them to celebrate for topping their group table because, once Napoli make some changes in the second half they may use the opportunity to draw the game 2:2 , and that is their major target in this second half if Real Madrid are not careful.
Hojlund has scored the second goal for United as he was also the one that broke the deadlock in the first half. Manchester united is now on the lead. What a pity, the goal has been equalised two minutes after Hojlund scored. Manchester united has a problem with their defense and this is what is making the effort of Hojlund useless. 2-2.

Arsenal is losing as Lens has scored the second goal to take the lead. Arsenal are not putting in a good performance in this second half compared to the effort that they put in the first half. 2-1.
951  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 03, 2023, 08:08:06 PM
Of the 6 ongoing matches, only Real Madrid managed to close the first half with a 1-2 win over Napoli. Arsenal drew 1-1 against Lens, as did Manchester United vs Galatasaray. Inter, Sevilla and Bayern Munich all played goalless draws in the first half of their respective matches, but the favorite team still has a high probability of winning this match. Inter and Bayern Munich are likely to win, as are Manchester United and Arsenal, while Real Madrid vs Napoli could still change.

I was surprised that Copenhagen could hold Bayern Munich to a goalless draw in the first half, but two Premier League teams, namely Arsenal and Manchester United, failed to maintain their lead after taking the lead ahead of their opponents. Time to wait for the second half.
All the matches ended draw in the first half apart from Real Madrid that is winning Napoli from one goal down. This shows that all the clubs playing tonight are very serious and they all need not to accept defeat easily.

This is why it is a champion league because no club should be underestimated in any match. The second half has just begun and I hope to see Manchester united and Arsenal winning their games but who knows what will happen before the end of the match.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: October 03, 2023, 07:28:17 PM
Gabriel Jesus has broken the deadlock on the 14th minutes with a brilliant goal to put Arsenal ahead of the game

Hodjun has also scored a beautiful goal after he receives a cross from Rashford  to put the red devils on a lead of the match.

They both started very impressively and I have good feelings that it will be a victorious game for both Arsenal and United to night.

Napoli is also winning Real Madrid and I see that this night matches will be filled with surprise.

It is a pity that Manchester united has conceived a goal and Galaxatara has equalise the goal, I don't know what is wrong with the two defenders that caused the goal.

OP, you are misunderstanding the whole advice that is given to newbie not to trade. Some newbies thinks that bitcoin trading is a get rich quick scheme and they buy bitcoin because they want to go into trading which is not the right option for a newbie who does not understand the fundamental analysis and technical analysis and can't even read trading charts.

For you to start trading you need to learn a whole lot of it. This is why the forum members will say that it is better to buy bitcoin and hodli as an investment, rather than buying for trading which there is a high possibility that you will run at loss. The forum do advice newbies on the right step to take so that there will be no regrets when you engage yourself in activities that will make your lose your coins, like gambling and trading, because they are speaking from experience. A newbie without any experience wouldn't understand this.

It is better to save someone from great loss than to console him, but if you want to trade you can go ahead because it is your bitcoin but don't regret it when you run at loss. Only learn how to trade or trade with money that you can afford to lose because even professional traders run at loss too.

Bitcoin is for everyone, and no one should be left behind.
Bitcoin is not for everyone and but only for people who believe in bitcoin and can sacrifice their funds to invest, because so many people know about bitcoin and are rich but they don't like to buy bitcoin. This is how trading is not for everyone.

Yes, even so, Chelsea is still the favorite in this match because they have a strong squad. However, so far Chelsea's season has not shown a stable performance, and that could be an opportunity for Fulham,
Yes, although match predictions are always difficult and the results can be different from expectations. but for this match I think Chelsea can rise and become winners, even though they won't score many goals, Chelsea's chances of winning are very big even though they are playing at Fullham's home ground.
In fact, I don't think so, Fulham will play at home, of course they will have more motivation and Fulham will definitely play with confidence after knowing that the Chelsea team is currently in a very bad state, Fulham can take advantage of this to be able to win the match. This.
It is true that the betting market still favors Chelsea with smaller odds compared to Fulham, but I really don't believe in Chelea's revival anymore, I will bet on Fulham in this match and I am quite confident in my bet.
Well everyone has their own opinion on how the match is going to end because Chelsea has disappointed in many games before now and funny enough even with their game with Brighton in the cup match I actually predicted Brighton to have a win in that game but it seems I was wrong and they suprised everyone and won that game so for this game against Fulham am really being optimistic because I actually don't know what they are going to play out but i think if am to predict I will go with a draw on this game.
Chelsea will probably make a comeback with a win in today's match. Their performance seems to be quite organized today. Chelsea's attack today is better than in previous matches. They managed to score two goals in 20 minutes. Mudryk scored from Levi Colwill's pass in the 18th minute of the match and Broja took a 2-0 lead just 1 minute later. Chelsea's defense is good enough. The main reason for Chelsea's loss of points in the past matches was their poor attacking presence. As Chelsea's forwards are playing well in today's match, I think the team will get 3 points in today's match. Chelsea conceded only 6 goals in 6 matches. Their defense is strong.
It seems so, and yesterday's 1-0 win over Brighton in the Carabao Cup has given them confidence and high spirits for the upcoming game.
And as you said, in the ongoing match against Fulham Chelsea experienced a change in the way Chelsea played in terms of defense and attack they were quite good and created several opportunities. And 2 goals in the first half against Fulham proved that Chelsea had changed even though it was not optimal, and Mudryk's 1 goal was his first goal with Chelsea, and it looked like Chelsea would add another goal in the second half.

I agree with you. The victory against Brighton in the last match has boosted the confidence of the Chelsea players. Brighton was a very strong opponent. However, Chelsea won the match 1-0. And because of the confidence of the players, the team is able to play well against Fulham today.
Chelsea played very well in the first half. They don't attack too much. Since they managed to score 2 goals in just 20 minutes, after that they are trying to keep their defense strong. In the second half too, we may see defensive gameplay from Chelsea. Chelsea don't need a big win; they just want to secure 3 points.
Chelsea has played very well in the first half by taking the lead of the match. This is a great improvement from the club has they will win two matches back-to-back this season. I see that Chelsea players are playing with confidence and they are sure that they will win the game.

On the other hand, Fulham is trying to break the deadlock, but it hasn't been easy for them since after Chelsea scored two goals they have chosen to lock their defense from allowing the Fulham players to penetrate it. I believe that we will see more goals in the second half and Chelsea should not allow Fulham to equalize the two goals, so that they can have all three points. The second half is ongoing, and Mudryk has finally scored his first goal for Chelsea today.

I believe that God made men that way and strong to be able to carter for any burden on them. It is the government that made it look as if a man is not strong enough to face the responsibilities on his shoulders. High rate of unemployment has made a lot that is expected from a male child not possible because it is someone that has a good job that will be able to carter for his family and extended family.

Being a male child, you are faced with so many challenges especially when you are the first child of your family, everyone will be looking up to you and when you are the lazy type, your siblings might even become better than you. This is the reason why a male child needs to leave his parent house early do that he can start learning how to fend for himself, in other for him to be able to see the inside of life early, so that he can be used to whatever situation he finds himself in life and to coupe with it.

God was the one that gave us all those responsibilities since he made man the head of the family, this means that man is to do whatever it takes to see that his family is okay in life.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Will you gamble till old age or not on: October 02, 2023, 06:29:35 PM
I was in the garden this evening and I was think on my bet that I placed on this evening game, then something came into my head like...are you going to gamble even when you are old, or you will quit gambling at a certain age.

There are so many of us that are responsible gamblers and we only gamble to entertain ourselves not for making profit. Since gambling is done for fun, it becomes part of us, this is because we enjoy the fun, and some persons uses it to relieve them after a long day stress at work. We always assign some portion of our income for our gambling activities because it has become a habit in us. I know that some of us hasn't thought of quitting gambling because we are responsible gamblers.

My question is this, will you continue to gamble till old age, or you have planned to stop gambling at a certain age?
I am not referring to addicted gamblers that will learn a hard lesson before the quit, but only responsible gamblers that are taking all prevention measures to addiction.

I will answer first.
I will love to quit gambling when I am 42yrs because I don't want to give gambling much time and I will prefer to look for an alternative means to have fun.

City finally lost in the league and showed that they are normal humans. Although it was a lucky win for Wolves, as they finished the game with only one shot on target and two goals. Sometimes we watch matches like that. One team shot more than 20 times and other defensive team get the win.

This shows that nobody is perfect in whatever they are doing. It was even a small club that won Man City and not a big club. However, City has been the most consistent club since the beginning of this season and yesterday was their first lost, they ain't unbeaten anymore.

Football is judged by how many goals that was able to hit the back of the net and not by how beautiful well, your performance was. Luck sometimes is what a club need to win the game and when that lucky isn't there, you will get defeated by even a weakling.

So I will say that Wolve was lucky and that was why they won the game with only their few shots on target, and City lost with so many shots but none could hit the back of the net.

Inter is finding it difficult to net the post against Salerrnitana and the match looks tough for Inter as they are struggling to score. Inter dominated the match as usual and took possession of the game. They also had good chances of scoring, but none of the opportunities was utilized.

Salernitana surprised me with their performance as they were playing Inter with confidence. It is half time and if Inter can't win the match, it means that Milan will continue to be on top for the moment till there is a laxity from their side, if the loss any game. But if Inter wins this match they remain on top. I believe that the host will not be able to withstand the pressure from their visitor in the second half as Inter will add more pressure to net their post.
Salernitana 0-0 Inter

Lamine Yamal is a young and effective palyer for Barcelona at the same time, his performance in Barcelona was amazing and since he is still a young palyer in this team, there is a possibility for this young talent to get offers from other teams but so far he is very much near to sign another contract with Barcelona.
Currently the contract of Yamal will expire in 2024 but he is about to sign another contract until 2026.

https://www.football-espana.net/2023/09/29/lamine-yamal-sign-barcelona-extension-2026



He is the youngest player that Barca has ever had since history and he is also the youngest player that have scored for Barca ever since history too. He is a very talented and skillful player.

I know that in the nearest future he will be pulling waves and winning trophies. I don't think that Barca will let him go by 2026 because he still has a lot which they need him for in the club. Barca were lucky that they won Sevilla in tonight game.
