There is a huge game between Liverpool and Manchester City at Anfield in only four days.  Smiley  It is like a game to decide the champion even though it is mathematically early for the end of the season. If Liverpool win this game I think that will definitely be it. The gap will be 4 points in that case and in the remaining 10 weeks I assume Liverpool wouldn't mess it up.

But if Manchester City win here the thing that I'm scared of the most can happen and they can make it to the league title.  Sad  In case of a draw Liverpool will still be advantageous so they had better prepare themselves in a solid way for this game.
If Liverpool play with their maximum strength, that is, Liverpool's core players will not be injured as much. So maybe I will favorite Liverpool in this match. But I now doubt that Liverpool may not be able to play with maximum strength. But the news is that M. Salah has recovered. So I hope M. Salah can be ready to defend Liverpool in the match against Man City. Because without M. Salah I feel Liverpool lacks a little motivation. And maybe the match will be a little unbalanced.

The home position is also a tough test for Liverpool. Because they are also definitely required to play better and must be able to win. otherwise they could be embarrassed in front of their own audience.
This match is still unpredictable, and I wouldn't stake my bet on this match because I don't know who is the favorite to win this game. City is very strong with all their squad in good conditions, unlike Liverpool that have players that just recovered from injury, and we don't know how well they will perform in the match. Of course, Liverpool needs to take advantage of the match because they are playing at home which they will be motivated the more.

Manchester city is a team that is used to facing strong challenges during this period when the league is always tough due to few matches left, and they want to be the club to win the trophy. This is why I think that Manchester City will do everything within their power to see that they win the game, because to them, this is the best time for them to take over the first position from Liverpool. Whoever wins the match will have a higher advantage of winning the league this season.

It is quite unfair that gamblers get addicted, and use their addiction to disturb the peace and welfare of their families and relatives, even with their friends, by taking loans and debt without being able to pay them and leave the responsibility for their loved ones to carter. Most times the family members will have no option than to help them pay these debts, but the worst of it is when the gambler is bring shame to the family and dragging the family name on the mud.

Some spouse might not be able to tolerate such attitude from the partner, and they will seek for divorce due to the frustration that the addicted gambler is putting them through. While some will take it as their responsibility to handle whatever ugly situation that the gambler attracts to himself. It is good that as a gambler, we try to caution ourselves on how will go about our gambling activities, and how much that we are using to gamble, so that we don't end up becoming an addict, and become a problem to our friends and families. Gamble responsible.
983  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is AI going to affect gambling in any way ? on: March 06, 2024, 11:36:35 AM
I don't see any positive impact that AI will have on gamblers. It can help the casino to know when there is a bug or a glitch, and also other stuffs. As for a gambler, you should know that gambling is a game of luck, and whatever the outcome of your bet is, there is nothing that can be done to change it because you are predicting the future especially in sportbet.

Gambling is a win or lose, and whoever try to use AI when we have that available to gamble, might end up even losing more than he would have assuming he is gambling by himself. Come to think about it there are somethings thy is beyond AI, like thinking and coming up with suggestions based on the scenario on ground at that particular time. If AI should be used in gambling, I think it is to the advantage of the casinos, and not the gamblers.

Finally Bayern Munich was able to counterattack in the second leg of today's match, they knocked out Lazio with a quite impressive score, namely 3 goals without reply, as I said before, I am sure that Bayern Munich can definitely qualify for the next round, beating Lazio by creating an aggregate more than 2 goals and it turns out that Bayern Munich is doing well at home. Bayern Munich actually took the lead in the first half through a goal scored by Harry Kane in the 38th minute, followed by Thomas Muller in the final minutes of the first half and Lazio was completely unable to do anything, but in the second half, Bayern Munich increased their total goals again so that his victory was even more convincing.

Harry Kane played impressively as usual even though sometimes he lately up not performing optimally in scoring goals when Bayern Munich needs him, but this time Harry Kane really did his best and he scored another goal for Bayern Munich's winner, so Bayern Munich could progress to the quarter-finals.
I can't wait who will be Bayern Munich's tough opponent in the quarter-finals, but hopefully Bayern Munich doesn't meet Manchester City or Real Madrid in that round because Bayern Munich could be eliminated in that round because if look at their performance, Bayern Munich is still below them.

I'm really interested in knowing what tuchel's suggestions to his club on achieving success against lazio. I know that Bayern's performance has gotten way worse since last season, when it was just terrible. When the club couldn't do even better in the bundesliga.
But man, Lazio's game was just not good at all. They couldn't compete with Bayern. Bayern was too good in that match, which helped their performance.

The win over Lazio saved tuchel's job, glad to see bayern used different methods in that match. I hope Bayern will go all out on their opponents every game, and the players did an amazing job in that quick victory against lazio.

I think Bayern Munich should do some evaluation now that the battle must go on. They did great in their recent game, but they're gonna face a real test soon. To take on such a tough club, Bayern needs to be well-prepared.
The gameplay of bayern is not monotone in last match. The club was able exploring more chances to score with better executions.
Bayern last night had to put Lazio in their place a performance tht under normal circumstance ought not to be a surprising thing to football fans but as a result of Bayern's low performance in the last games both in the UCL and the Bundesliga now their usual performance it's now coming as though it's a surprise. Congratulations to Tuchel as he has through this result secured his position as head coach and we hope to see Bayern exercise more competitive performance in future games in the UCL especially should they meet Manchester City or Madrid, and even in the  Bundesliga.

For the match between Manchester City vs FC Copenhagen I expect a similar result in favour of Manchester City since they are playing at home they have all of the advantage on their side, and secondly Copenhagen is not a their match by analytical comparison. Nevertheless this is football anything can happen but the chances are slim.
Some people thought the Bayern will perform poorly yesterday and might noy qualify to the next round, but deep down in me I knew it that Bayern will qualify because they know what is at stake for them to lose the match. Baten is always strong at home, and they will score goals to just make sure that they qualify, no matter how many goals that their opponent scored in their home match. I guess that their poor performance in their last game was because they don't want any injury, so that they can be able to play and win their champion league game against Lazio.

Manchester City will win Copenhagen today, and I don't think that it will be a difficult match for them, because they are stronger than their visitors. Bayern might face difficulties when they meet with a strong club in the next match, but I still believe that they will be able to also win their next game. However, if they meet a strong team like Real Madrid or Man City they might find it difficult to qualify.

I was going through some articles and comments on twitter and this question struck me so I decided to bring it up here .
There are some drugs that are quite medicinal and has serious effects on human beings especially when misused or abused . But the idea of people taking high level of hard drugs is what I can’t place my thought on because it makes feel that everything is not normal on them .

However, people go to grave yards to exhume the bones of dead bodies just to collect their bones grind it and smoke it , some will also go to the length of breaking sucker pit just to inhale the substances there for a reason I don’t know . So please I now ask again, is there any benefit of taking hard drugs ?
There is no benefit for taking hard drugs because hard drugs have a great side effect when taken without the prescription of a doctor. Addiction most times is what makes people continue taking them because they cannot do without it. Some people was influenced by their peer mates, while some started it on their own. Hard drugs are also used to make most drugs but it is not good to use it on your own. Hard drugs can lead to mental illness, and sudden death.

Those people that inhale gas from human faeces are under some evil forces controlling them, because I don't think that a normal person with his complete senses will do such. Also why will anyone go as far as going to the burial ground to dig the corpse of a dead man and take the bones for smoking. That person must be doing rituals.

Juventus has been one of my top club in this league so if I am to please bet Juventus always make me smile I wine, maybe it just my luck so therefore, Juventus and Milan is my top club here so I always win, though Napoli won 2:1 but that doesn’t stop my interest in Juventus And Milan they are both my favorite club in this league

That is your right and you are free to have any favorite team because after all, mediocre teams also have their own fans. So yes, it's normal if you and other people are still Juventus fans because after all, Juventus is basically a big team in Serie A, so there is nothing wrong if you and other people are still Juventus fans. But yes, even though you are a fan but I think you also have to realize that Juventus still cannot be expected to get a trophy this season. Although indeed, Juventus still have a good chance to be able to finish in the top four and get a Champion League ticket for next season but still, Juventus really still have to build a team to be even better to be able to dominate the league again like at that time.
Exactly, we have the right to be fans to any club of our choices even when they are performing poorly due to the love that we have built with the club. However Juventus should work on themselves so that they can improve their performance for next season's competition, because the champions league will be challenging.

For Juventus to be part of the champions league next season, and also finishing the league on second position is a good achievement, that is if they don't allow Milan take over the second position from them. Inter is rest assured that they have won the the league, because of their consistent performance.
987  Other / Off-topic / Re: Dont chase your loss on: March 05, 2024, 06:40:55 PM
It is easy said than done don't chase your lose. Still yet gamblers will keep on chasing their losses, because they are always doubling their bet when they win little amount, since they are not satisfied with little wins. Anyone that sees gambling as way to change his life will not be able to stop chasing his loss, because he is already an addict unknown to him.

Gambling is be done with ease, and for fun so that you will be able to gamble with an amount that when you lose, would not be anything to you, and this will not affect you emotionally. Having a time limit for gambling, and having a gamble budget is another way to control your loss. You should also not gamble frequently, to avoid addiction.
988  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: While placing bet what comes your mind on: March 05, 2024, 04:54:10 PM
However, have you had this feeling while gambling before be it offline casino and online casinos? The feeling to increase the wager it happen to me like every time and this feeling also happen to me after I win the bet there are always feeling like "Oh man I should increase my wager" but I believe this part an of gambling addiction
While placing a bet what comes to your mind. ? It is simply I just want to win the game hahahah

I think that feeling is experienced by everyone bro Grin. The feeling of wanting to increase the bet when you see an opportunity to win. Yes it is part of gambling addiction. When you gamble your emotions will control your actions. The feeling and belief that you will win the bet makes you dare to take the risk of betting higher. I think it doesn't matter because there is no gambler who doesn't have that feeling. But how you manage it and not get addicted to gambling is the important point here.
This is why it is called gambling, because we always want to win big, and this was why so many people started gambling. A greedy gambler will never be satisfied with the little amount that he wins. If he wins big, he will still not be satisfied, and he will want to keep on winning, which will finally make him lose everything, and start chasing his losses. All these will make that gambler become addicted.

It is good that we don't allow out greed to overshadow our thoughts when we are gambling, so that we wouldn't think of increasing out bet when we are winning, because it can make us lose it all in one game, and it will affect out emotion when we are gambling with the amount of money that we cannot afford to lose. Self-control and discipline are what can make you ignore that mind that tells you to increase your bet when you are winning.

990  Local / Politics and society (Naija) / Re: We need restructuring in Nigeria:;the way forward on: March 05, 2024, 12:20:05 PM
Nigeria is has gone beyond that level, and that was done in1960 after independence. Nigeria was divided into three regions, which are the West, East and North. It was from there that in 1963, it was divided into four, and so on till finally we are now have 36 states. Then the population of Nigeria was not as much as we are today, and they were able to manage the natural resources that the country has, and the economy was good.

It will be impossible for us to have only three again because who will go back into the olden days pattern of live when he has been civilized. The country is bigger than one man to control especially an old sick man, that cannot think well. The problem of Nigeria is bigger than a vibrant young man of 45yrs old to handle, talk more of an old aged man. Nigeria will remain sick, until they stop imposing old and sick candidates as our president.
991  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: your perception about gambling on: March 05, 2024, 11:03:23 AM
I decided to come up with this topic because of an experience i had yesterday and i decided to bring it here for clarity sake and to see some people's view about it.

There is this notion the society placed on those who gamble or who play all sorts of games ,be it casino,bet9ja,R/S lotto, what, snooker and many others. They often see them as those who don't have what to do ,or caliber of individuals who are jobless, a set of people who are not well trained by their parents and many more other names they call them.

i sincerely came up with this topic to find out why they have such views on individuals who voluntarily went to the betting shop to gamble either to win and make a difference or to lose and remain the same way.  This idea actually started when i saw a pastor playing bet9ja after a brief evangelism and one elderly woman made a side comment ( That even man of GOD also play gamble) .

however, my question here now is : is gambling restricted to some certain kind of individuals or class?  or is there any stratification when it comes to playing gambling ?please your opinions here will actually quench my curiosity.
Don't let this be the reason why you should also start gambling, in the religion side of things, many pastors are not even called upon by God, they fake it so as to have access to a parish, where they can have something to eat and take offerings from people.

In today's world, so many men of God are not real men of God, they're not called to become one, in my country for example, everyone is a man of God, one morning they are criminals and the next morning they will announce that God have called them to do HIS work.. Who are they fooling?
Those fake pastors are claiming to be pastors because they want to use it to extort people of their funds. I see those fake pastors as scammers, and they give wrong prophecy that can destroy someone's life. It is those kind of pastors that can work into a bet shop to place their bet, because they cannot hide it anymore, and they decide not to care about what people will say. A true religious man of God sees gambling as a sin and something evil, because of the negative effects of gambling, that a lot of gamblers are suffering from.

However, it is very difficult to know a pastor that is a true pastor or a fake one. People that are not even pastors do advice their children and relatives to stay away from gambling, talk more a pastor that is the head of a church.
992  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler takes his own life after a loss. on: March 05, 2024, 10:13:28 AM
Apparently this is a true live event happened in my State this week and almost everyone is talking about it. About a young man that killed himself after a gamble loss, he even left a message for his family and friends before taking his life.  But I wonder why should someone take his own life  just because he lost  #2.5 million to gambling an amount  equivalent to just about $3k. I can relate to his loss but taking your life is something unimaginable and unjustifiable to do. No matter the regrets suicide isn't an option to be taking as a solution , you are only leaving bigger pains  behind for your loved ones.

This is just another reminder to we all gamblers that no bet is sure and guaranteed, don't ever use an amount of money you are not comfortable to lose just because you feel convicted in your mind that the game will play as predicted. There's no such thing as sure bet in gambling.

Question: Is there any amount lost that can make you commit suicide?

If yes, then don't ever use such amount to gamble.

It's very sad that anyone should choose to end their own life, especially in what some might call their prime year's. However there are all sorts of motivation and emotions in life, some people are able to keep a grip on them, while it becomes too overwhelming for others. Greed in this scenario was a very dangerous driver and the ultimate source of this person's misery, but it was self made. He was trying to take a shortcut and unfortunately it did not pay off for him, but would he even have stopped if he did manage to double up? What would be enough?
This is what greed do cause, it makes one to carry out some actions without considering if the result turns the other way round, if we will be able to accept it. If a lot of gamblers think about losing the game and how will that lost affect their lives negatively, I believe that many of them will not use a certain amount of money to gamble.

The deceased gambler like you said was looking for a way to double the money, because he thinks that gambling is a get rich quick scheme. Unknown to him that gamble is a means of entertainment, and he used the money that he cannot afford to lose to gamble. So sad that he didn't have anyone around him to talk some sense to him, maybe he might not have committed suicide.

DCA strategy is very good for newbies who just started their bitcoin journey with low income. If one can be persistent and consistent in accumulating bitcoin weekly or monthly for a very long time, before you will reizeit, you have stashed up a significant amount of bitcoin. However, it is the best during your accumulation stage, because it gives you no tension and easy going with your bitcoin investment.

DCA also gives an investor, the opportunity to also have time for other investments, because anyone that is used to saving money in the bank to achieve an important purpose in life. Such person will be successful in his bitcoin accumulation journey. Some people are waiting until they have huge amount of money before they want to invest in bitcoin, neglecting the DCA strategy, which enables you to buy bitcoin at different price level.

Not sure if I can say Arsenal are good at what they do or Sheffield United are just experiencing a pathetic run of form which has lead to their broken spirit..like wtf 15 minutes and it's already 3 goal's down and at the rate these lads are getting their goals, I expect to see not less than 7goals this evening especially that the likes of Saka aren't yet on the scoresheet and the usual attack minded defenders haven't scored yet.

Btw, with what I have seen I think these boys aren't ready for the premier league and will be relegated for sure!!
What is certain is that Arsenal will feast on goals tonight. Grin
It seems like Sheffield has no motivation in this game and goals will continue to come in the next few minutes because Arsenal is too easy for them plus they will also chase more goals to face the situation where the points are equal to other teams like Liverpool and Man City.
If you look at this match it is a bit boring because there is no resistance at all, but on the other hand I am happy to see a lot of goals happening now.
Who knows how many goals Arsenal would score by the time it is stoppage time. A lucky game for Arsenal to have a weak opponent that automatically gave them three points, by making the match easy for Arsenal players. I wasn't expecting this much goals, but I knew that Arsenal would win the match.

Let it not be that Sheffield would concede more goals this season than Derby in 2006/2007 season. Congratulations to Arsenal for demolishing Sheffield defense and took over the defense.

Inter v Genoa

Inter StartXI: 3-5-2
Yann Sommer; Benjamin Pavard; Stefan de Vrij; Carlos Augusto; Denzel Dumfries; Nicolò Barella; Kristjan Asllani; Henrikh Mkhitaryan; Federico Dimarco; Lautaro Martínez; Alexis Sánchez

Genoa StartXI: 3-5-2
Josep Martínez; Koni De Winter; Mattia Bani; Johan Vásquez; Stefano Sabelli; Junior Messias; Milan Badelj; Morten Frendrup; Aarón Martín; Mateo Retegui; Albert Guðmundsson

This match has started and let see how the game will go, Inter are at it again to accumulate more points to maintain the gap distance and the second place, Genoa performance is fair because they just lose only one match but still it not going to be easy for them especially when Inter are the one hosting them.

Even though Genoa has had a steady performance in the last few matches, the chances of Inter Milan dropping points against this team is very low. Inter Milan will definitely want to dominate and win their home match

Inter Milan players have been playing very well since the beginning of the match. Although Genoa managed several good attacks, they could not break down Inter Milan's strong defence. At the moment, Inter Milan is leading 2-0. Kristjan Asllani scored in the 30th minute and Sanchez scored from the penalty spot in the 38th minute. I am now waiting to see Martinez's goal.
Inter scored two goals in 8 minutes, and Sanchez was given the opportunity to score his first goal this season, by allowing him to take the penalty, which he took perfectly to make it two scores for Inter. I don't think that Genoa will be able to e in this match.

The second half have started, and Inter is dominating the game as usual, but there is something that I want to observe which is to see if Inter will make the goal 4 this time again. This is because they have scored 4 goals in five consecutive matches.

I often run out of funds due to gambling that is too blind in terms of placing $$ on every bet I make and ends up losing. I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.

I started to realize and change my habits. Now I use $$ from the profits from the previous bet to place the next bet and save my initial capital.

What do you think, is this good and can help me overcome losses that will occur so that $$ remains safe and can be used in future betting? Are there other unique ways that you can use to grow your money in gambling? feel free to comment. Thanks

        -    Well, if I go by your story, you kind of show that you get greedy when you get lucky or win when you gamble in a casino. Think about it: if you know you're going to win, then you bet on your winning price because you expect that if you win, you'll get a lot of money.
It is impossible for anyone to know the game that he would win, if not that person will use a big amount to stake so that he can win big. What I want to say is that we shouldn't be more focus on winning, if not we might forget that gamble is a game of luck, and not by our skill which makes winning to become hard.

The best thing to do is that, when you have won, you can quit the game and relax, so that you don't continue gambling and lose all the money back to the casino. This is because we cannot just keep on winning, instead we would win once in a while and lose more. This is why one should use the amount that will not affect you emotionally to gamble, so that when you run at loss, you wouldn't be disturbed or feel bad towards gambling. Know when to quit, and know the amount that you can afford to lose, to make you enjoy the fun in gambling and live healthy.

De Rossi can not compare with Jose Mourinho in coach career and experience as a coach but he actually brings good sentiment to AS Roma after taking over the coach position from Mourinho. If he can help Roma to improve a lot, make a lot of impression in Serie A, it's logic to hope that he will be able to do it with Roma in Europa League. It will be magic for Roma if they have a third final match in Europa in three consecutive seasons.

The opponent for Roma is Brighton and it is not a too strong opponent. I don't say Roma are stronger than Brighton but with this opponent, Roma have not too small chance to be the winner.
Have good result in last several matches with AS Roma I don't think Daniele De Rossi can't compare yet with Jose Mourinho had much experienced become several manager team and won many trophies. Most of the winning matches from Daniele De Rossi with mediocre teams and AS Roma performance in Europe League won trough penalty kick against Feyenoord.
Facing Brighton Albion is ideal opponent team for Daniele De Rossi on 16 of round, we can see with his potential will success make AS Roma repeat the fantastic achievement under Jose Mourinho success lead until final or not. Daniele De Rossi have target in this season how to make AS Roma lead to final round in Europe League and give the fourth standings position in domestic league to make Roma can participants in Champion League next season.

Although De Rossi cannot be compared to Mourinho who has many titles but yes, at least De Rossi managed to make AS Roma recover and get impressive results also in the Serie A matches he has played. But indeed, although De Rossi managed to restore AS Roma in Serie A, but for me it seems that De Rossi is still not promising enough for the match that will be played in the next Europa League against Brighton. Although indeed, basically Brighton also does not have a good history in the Europa League but yes, at least Brighton also has a performance that is not too bad at all also in the difficult competition that occurs in the Premier League. Therefore, I think AS Roma and Brighton still both have a good chance of qualifying, but in my consideration it seems that Brighton has a slightly better chance, let's look forward to it.
Mourihno is a great coach with so a lot of achievement in football history as a coach. I think that it is old tactic that Mourihno was using and most clubs have understood this which made it difficult for him to win matches with Roma, before he was fired.

De Rossi is good but you cannot compare him to Mourihno, because during Mourihno days, De Rossi was still a player. No one can reign forever, and there must be young ones that will come and take over from you, that doesn't make you a weak coach. However, I think that this season is a lucky one for De Rossi, and I cannot wait to see what will be the outcome of their match against Brighton, and this is where his quality will also be put to test,because it is to win only local leagues, and as a good coach you will be able to win European leagues too.
998  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Who's winning more casinos or gamblers? on: March 04, 2024, 04:25:08 PM
The casinos bankroll is used to fund the games and thus any win the player has is paid out from that and any loss is added to that bankroll. If you analyze the bankroll volume in the long run, it is ever increasing with the losses balancing out lesser than the wins.

However the casino exists for the players because without them the money will never flow in and thus the casino is for the players to play in. Of course the winner will always be the casino owners. Grin

So players to minimize losses should manage "their" bankroll properly.
I agree with you on what you said. The casino is making more profit than the gamblers. This is because, the casino can have a high number of gamblers using the casino, and only few wins big. If you look at it from this side, I think in gambling we have more of addicted gamblers, or let me say that gamblers that sees gambling as a means to make profit, and such gamblers will keep on playing regularly chasing their loses, because they want to hit it big.

Just the way that casino pays their winner that won big, and announce it, it is the same way that gamblers lose a big amount of money to the casino but they will not announce it, because they know that it will scare their customers away. If one person wins $1m today, more than three persons will lose $1m that same day. Casinos are making huge profit from gamblers and that is why you see that the business is flourishing.

It's interesting indeed, because even though Bayern Munich this season will fail to win the Bundsliga trophy but yes, basically Bayern Munich still has good quality if we only compare Bayern Munich with Lazio. But yes,theresult in the first leg was a surprise because apart from losing with a score of 1-0, but in fact that Bayern Munich also had no shots on target at all in the first leg. Therefore, in the first leg it can be concluded that Bayern Munich played very badly or perhaps, Bayern Munich underestimated Lazio too much so that Bayern Munich was not in good focus in that match. So yes, with a very bad result in the first leg, then Bayern Munich should produce a better result in the second leg because Bayern Munich will also be playing at home.

It seems to me that there should be no such thing as underestimating an opponent at the Champions League playoff stage ,any team that was able to pass the group stage should by default be an opponent that is worthy of respect. Bayern simply were not ready for Lazio to play so well in defense, I think this is the main reason. But Bayern have the second leg where they will have a chance to turn things around, the difficulty for them may be, that their defense is not the best, and if Lazio can score again and try to play just as well in defense then there could be a sensation.
Tuchel has failed to bring Munich to win the title in the Bundesliga, it seems they only have a chance in the second leg, Munich must be able to win to convince everyone that Munich is still a club to be reckoned with in the UCL, since experiencing poor results in the domestic league made everyone feel less confident in supporting Munich because they have not performed well recently and disappointed all their supporters because the results were not really satisfactory in the domestic league.

Tuchel must be able to pressure his team to play more aggressively even though Lazio's defense is quite difficult to penetrate, just like in the first leg which made it difficult for Munich to score a goal in return, in the end they had to recognize Lazio's strength and admit their defeat, where Lazio deserved to win, I don't know in the second leg match whether Tuchel will apply the same playing style and strategy as the previous second leg match, of course if there are no changes then it will be difficult to win the second leg match later, all eyes will see how Tuchel convinces everyone that Munich can rise.
Bayern is not performing as expected from people. Their performance is not as good as we thought it is, for them to be able to win the match, they must come up with a game pattern that will be able to  breakthrough Lazio defense, so that they can score as many goal as possible. Apart from this, it will be difficult for them to score Lazio, who have love for defensive game.

I think that is Lazio's own strategy that they have come up with, so that they can use it to send Bayern packing from the league. On the one hand, Bayern should not be underestimated because they lost the first leg in Italy. Germany is their home, and we know how clubs use to be very strong when they are playing at home, and they do make use of home matches as an advantage to win any of their visitors. Lazio is leading, but they can still lose, and not qualify to the next round. This is why if Bayern needs the ticket to the next round, they need to make sure they will the match.

Are investors investing in Bitcoin at ATH now are fools ?  Is there chance of major correction from here as prices have already peaked now.
As long as you are not investing because of FOMO or for short term profit. If you intend to have a long term bitcoin investment for 4-6yrs and above, then the price that you are buying shouldn't be a problem. This is why we have the DCA method of accumulating bitcoin, which gives us the advantage to buy bitcoin irrespective of the price.

Buying regularly using DCA helps you to balance the average price of bitcoin in your bitcoin investment, because if you are consistent, and persistent in it, after buying at the bull run, you will still buy during the bottom line of the next bear market, and so on. By next circle bull run, you will have some profits. Don't allow the price of bitcoin to discourage you and keep on waiting, because that is the worst of it.
