1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it proper for younger ones to gamble? on: Today at 12:15:35 PM
Because nowadays the younger ones take gambling more seriously then school. Yesterday i got back home early so I decided to step out and go to a betting shop to catch some fun while gambling, I saw two teenagers gambling with their school uniforms on them.

I asked someone besides me why did they allow this boy's to come in with their uniforms and gamble, he said did they put any restrictions that younger ones are not allowed to gamble. I said but it's not normal, I replied him what if this are your kids would you be happy seeing them gambling with their uniforms on them. So what do you guys think about this situation at hand now.
Well here in my country minors are not allowed gambling with school uniforms and of course the age limit and even in computer shops they aren't allowed as well unless it's weekend or they are just doing projects not video games. This situation mostly happen in third world countries like mine.
It is happening like that in your country because the government is strict with their laws and regulations on gambling, which is making the bet shops not allowing students on school uniform and underage to gamble. Or will I say that your country cares a lot about the lives of the younger ones that are below gambling age but wants to gamble. Which is good because it will help the younger ones not to get into gambling early.

Down here in my country that everyone wants to make money through any means and they don't care about who they are rendering their services to. The government does not also care about monitoring this casinos and betshops to make sure that they are not violating the law. This has made both underage to involve in gambling, and the bet shop attendant will feel unconcerned about the age and place the bet for them. I feel very bad when I see such things happening in a bet shop. Underage should not gamble and wait till they are old enough to start gambling, because that is when they can become responsible gamblers.

A big Congratulations to Manchester united it was really unbelievable from them after their poor performance they have finally correct their mistake today by lifting the FA cup trophy. Manchester united have really make us proud today because we almost lose hope this season that we are not going to achieve anything, all thanks to God almighty for making us won the game and hopefully we are going to play Europe league next season.
Almost every body predicted Manchester City to win the trophy because of there current form this season but one thing about football is that football can be unpredictable  same thing also to happen at the Europa league final between Leverkusen and Atalanta people predicted Leverkusen to win the trophy because of there current form too and consistency but reverse was the case. All the same Congratulations to Manchester United.
I am a Manchester United fan, I haven't been that happy since the beginning of the season. There was when I expected Manchester United to be a little bit consistent in order to remain in the top six of the English Premier League table. At a time since started sliding the negative side, I didn't know if to blame the coach all day Manchester United management for not buying enough players for the coach. In the other hand the coach decision was destructed by inavailability of players. The majority of Manchester United defense we are absent throughout the season. But Manchester United coach started making some adjustment and playing some players of position in order to sustain throughout the season.

I would have said that football is unfair if actually a club like Chelsea plays Europa League why Manchester United does not. I didn't believe and understand how Chelsea moved past Manchester United in the table and occupies the sixth position for Europa League. But then football finally showed me that it is fair by making Manchester United to be the King of England and as well qualified for the Europa League competition for next season. If Manchester United management could get a more and quality players I think Manchester United win definitely compete for major trophies in the coming season.
As a matter of fact, I lost confidence in Manchester united this season because I was expecting something better than last year, but we saw something different throughout the season for United and most of the Chelsea fans were very happy because United was ahead of them and towards the end of this season, Chelsea became consistent with their matches which made them to be 6th on the table.

It is just like the God of football knows that Manchester united is too big not to participate in any European competition next season which will be a slap on United, and that was why we saw that incredible defeat on City in the finals. Finally, the inconsistent Manchester united was able to make a difference and got a direct ticket to the Europa League next season.

3  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: Today at 10:43:14 AM
Gambling's "what if" thrill can hook you. The uncertainty and a chance to win keep people coming back. Man, chance rules. No plan will affect the odds. You can boost your odds. Knowing the game and odds is important. Knowledge and strategy help poker players calculate pot odds and make smarter plays.  Ultimately, luck is uncontrollable. Listen, stories of turning a little gamble into a fortune are rare. Enjoy the game, but be wise about it. Know your limit, turn away, and don't chase losses

I think "don't chase your losses" can be a very useful advice to beginners. Many gamblers lose much more than what they were wanting to recover in the beginning because of this destructive process. I think, in reality we all do that sometimes. No gambler, even an experienced one, is immune to that. It often happens with me too. I lose $5 and I think I will just take that back and I quit. But I lose $20 more instead. And than I stop, because I don't want to lose even more. It is very important to stop when you lost $25 already. It is very important to not try to recover that amount. You should know that it can become $100 and then $200 and so on.
Loss chasing is the way that leads to addiction. This is why beginners should not see gambling as a get rich quick activity because if they do, they will finally get trapped with chasing their losses and they must become gambling addicts.

What I will advice beginners is only to gamble with the amount of money that they can afford to lose, and they should also see gambling as a means of losing money. It is only people that loves the fun in gambling that should gamble because they understand that their chances of running at loss is higher than winning which has made them to gamble responsible.

4  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: Today at 10:04:57 AM
It is not about  which day or everyday but instead about when is luck siding you

because no matter how long and how much you are playing , losing will always come if you don't know
where and when to stop and that is the reason why so much failure are we getting in gambling.

and also there are ways to understand gambling but first know your first because everything will
be nothing if you cannot control yourself from gambling.

Everyday gambling is a thing that mostly need self control. It's not a game for people who can't restrict their gambling behaviors. There are multiple differences to gambling everyday. Timing is crucial in handling such a dangerous habit. Staying punctual to our gambling strategy helps in building a strong defense against gambling addiction.
this is why its not good to gamble daily , better to gamble only in free time
or when you are looking for something to give you enjoyment because the more
you gamble is the more chances of losing.

Somehow that makes no sense. What is I have a lot of free time? I could gamble every day then? Or what if I dont have free time at all? Does it means that I should not think about gambling at all? And if I am good at self control, what then, I am also not allowed to gamble?

In general you did not give any reason or explanation why it is not good to gamble daily. You just say "this is why its not good to gamble daily" and that is it. Also you have said previously about "luck siding me". How can I tell it or test it? How come someone figure out if he is lucky today or will be tomorrow? As gambling is all about random.
I will not say if it is good or bad to gamble everyday, but this depends on the gambler choice whether he will gamble daily, weekly, or occasionally. What matters is that you should have self control over your gambling activities, and don't let it get into your end to the point that you cannot do without gambling. If you are the type that have your gambling budget, it is fine to gamble whenever you like as long as you don't go beyond your gambling budget limits.

What I do is that I always assign money for my gambling activities weekly, and that gives me the room to gamble daily if I want to because I will divide my weekly budget into seven parts and use each part to gamble everyday, even though I am to just bet on one or two games, it means nothing to me. If it happens that I am too busy during the week and I am able to gamble once or twice. I do enjoy it to the fullest, because I use the funds to the whole week budget to game once or twice.

It looks like Manchester City’s dominance of the Premier league will be coming to an end soon because according to Sky Sports, Pep Guardiola may be leaving Manchester City next summer. I wasn’t expecting Pep to leave the club anytime soon, Manchester City are not ready to be without Pep. City has always had good players but the missing piece was a manager who could harness the talent of the players and introduce strategies that would win games. Pep filled that gap for Manchester City and if he leaves, it will take time for the club to recover from that loss. Hopefully they do not suffer as much as Manchester United did when Sir Alex Ferguson left the club.
I really don't think Manchester city will struggle if pep guardiola leave, because they were actually doing fine before he came into Manchester city, so what makes you think they can't do without him? It's very true that their dominance of the English premier league is going to reduced to a reasonable extend, but they wouldn't struggle, talkless of struggling like the way Manchester united have struggled since sir Alex Ferguson left the club.

Lastly, if truly that pep guardiola really want to leave Manchester city, then I really don't think it's a good move, for not just Manchester city, but also to him as an individual, because Manchester city is one of those clubs that have the capacity to give you all he need as a coach to succeed,  so why would he be leaving? I don't think their is any logic in him leaving Manchester city, so it would be best he just stay put and enjoy his dominance of the English premier league.
What makes you feel that Manchester city will do just fine as they are now, if Pep leaves the club. Have you not seen that some clubs performance declined and they are still finding it difficult to get a good coach to revive the teams back to their super form. Manchester city would have not achieve all these trophies without Pep, because if I can remember when Pep have not come to City, they were not as strong as this and they are not the favorite in EPL.

Pep selects his players, come with his own coach skill and tactics in order to make sure that he wins the match, he is loved by the players and he is a victorious coach. So tell me who will have such great qualities like Pep to help Manchester city to continue in their superb form. It is going to be a big problem for Manchester City is Pep leaves. Look at Napoli of last season that won Scudetto, but after a change of coach what did they achieve this season, and where are they on the table. A coach plays a major role to the success of a club. Look at Manchester united, after Fergie left, United has being struggling from season to season.
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: Today at 08:26:35 AM

Dovbyk is truly impressive and apart from recording a hat trick in the last match of the season, he also has the opportunity to win the La Liga golden boot this season. I think the competition for top scorer no longer belongs to players from Real Madrid or Barcelona who we know can always dominate this league, but now it's time for other mediocre teams to show off with strikers who are rarely known.

I think it could be Dovbyk who wins the golden boot but keep in mind that Sorloth alone was able to break into Real Madrid's goal 4 times in one match last week. So Osasuna is not necessarily safe from Sorloth's skill in scoring goals and if they target finishing in the top 10 then Osasuna must fully learn from Real Madrid's previous mistakes.
Isn't this much more impressive because currently Real Madrid and Barcelona are not dominating the top scorers, right? Last season, the top scorer for La Liga came from Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski, who was able to score 23 goals followed by Real Madrid player, Benzema with 18 goals. And this season, the first and second positions are occupied by other than the two big clubs, namely Artem Dovbyk from Girona and also Solrtoh from Villarreal. This becomes even more interesting, especially for Artem Dovbyk, because he is also at a club that is currently very rising, Girona. Who would have thought that this middle club could really reach the top 3 this season, and one of its players would become the top scorer, right? Isn't this quite a fantastic achievement?
It is quite a remarkable achievement for him. What Girona has achieved this season is really surprising and of a truth nobody has ever thought that Girona will rise to the occasion this season the way they did. Girona scored lots of gals this season so am not surprised to see their  player as the league's top scorer. I think this is healthy for the league, sometimes I get tired of always seeing the top 2 teams in Laliga dominating in everywhere, but now that the other teams are coming up it will make the league more and more interesting. I just hope that Girona is not just a one season wonder, they should continue to build on what they have achieved this season, they should hold onto their star players next season so that they can still be more competitive. If more teams can wake up in league and do as Girona did this season, the league will be more interesting.
Will I say that this is the first time to Girona player scoring the highest goal and winning the golden boot. This shows that Laliga competition is getting tough and it is not like before that only Barcelona and Real Madrid are always the highest goal scorers due to their players. Girona made the competition very interesting this season, because noth Real Madrid and Barcelona had a rival, and it was a big challenge for Barcelona to finish second on the table.

This season still end up the same way just as the previous seasons, whereby Real Madrid and Barcelona are always on the first and second position, and it is either Real Madrid winning the league or Barcelona. I will love to see this change in future, maybe from next season, since this season we saw the highest goal scorers on first and second from different clubs entirely. I want next season not to be the same for the first and second position on the table. Is it possible to see a different club on the first and second position just like we had different clubs as the highest goal scorer this season.

Atalanta need to stop selling their important players like they sell Hojlund last season. They will play in Champions League next season, they will need to upgrade their squad depth to able to compete with top teams. Gasperini is a good tactician, he elevate Atalanta to be a tough team and have an attractive gameplay throughout his coaching career at Atalanta.
Apart from not needing to throw away the old players that Atalanta already has this season, the Atalanta team itself also needs to look at other players who are much better if they have enough funds to buy new players so they can be included in the existing squad. I am also starting to be impressed with the gameplay created by Gasperini because this was very visible when Atalanta played in the Europa League this season and also in Serie A this season. Hopefully next season things like that can continue with Atalanta so that other teams don't think of them as a weak team.
I don't know if it was from my own point of view from this season domestic and international competitions that Atalanta can only perform very well in Europa and not in their domestic leagues. Atalanta will still be finding it difficult to challenge clubs like Inter and Milan who are always fit for domestic leagues. However, when it comes to European competition, Atalanta can do better than playing in their domestic league because their opponents don't understand their game pattern and are not used to playing Atalanta.

This is why you see that it was very easy for Atalanta to defeat Liverpool and Leverkusen just like that because they all have their own game patterns but that of Atalanta surpasses both Liverpool and Leverkusen. Like you said, Alonso needs some new players to strengthen the club because they are playing in the champions league next season which is not always an easy league, because every club in UCL are champions.
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: Today at 07:00:26 AM
There are reasons why Real Madrid is the bookmakers favorite club to win the UEFA Champions League title this season and almost everyone who knows about the history of both clubs in the competition will agree to the fact that Real Madrid will always be the favorite team to win a final ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Like you said, Marco Reus who will be playing his last game for Borussia Dortmund in that game will do everything possible to try get his hands on club football's most prestigious trophy but I don't think his wishes will come to past in that game.
Real Madrid legend like Toni Kroos will also be playing his last club football game in that game and as a Real Madrid fan that I'm, I can authoritatively tell you that the Real Madrid players will do everything possible to help Kroos win that particular trophy in his last game at the club.
Real Madrid is undoubtedly a better team than Dortmund in every metric. They are also the most popular team in the world with the biggest fanbase worldwide. This fact is expected by bookmakers to attract many bettors to put their bets on Real Madrid. There is no reason for bookmakers not to put Real Madrid as favorite to win the Champions League trophy.

Dortmund may be underdog in this game, but their chance to win the final is still there. They have won one Champions league in 1997 by also being underdog to Juventus. The captain, Marco Reus, will put his best effort on his last game for Dortmund to win the most prestigious trophy for his boyhood club. The game will be a climax of this season football, it's expected to be an intense and attractive game that will lure many emotions.


That might be true, but do you realize that Dortmund has now proven a couple of times that they can beat top teams? With some luck and on a perfect day I think they can beat Real Madrid. Just see how they managed to stop Mbappe from scoring two games in a row. I guess there is hardly a harder challenge than that. If they can stop Mbappe, they can also stop players like Vinicius Junior. And in a final I think everything is different anyway. Every player reaches new heights and there are so many small details that can be decisive. If Real Madrid doesn't score way too early in the game, then chances are good for Dortmund to achieve something great
I will say that the match against PSG was based on luck, that was why you see that two shots on target from Mbappe hit the goal post and denied him two goals. Dortmund was lucky enough to get away with those unlucky moments for PSG. I don't see same thing happening to Real Madrid because it is not only Vini that can score or that Real Madrid is looking up to.

Real Madrid have a quality squad in which any of them can score and they are independent of any key player when it comes to goal scoring. This is why I don't think that Dortmund can stop of of their 5 strikers from scoring on that match. Joselu, Rodrigo, Brahim and Bellingham are all there to score, so if one of them is not lucky enough to score, the others will score. We saw that in their matches against City and Bayern. Bayern was even winning with one goal ahead but a supersub came in and scored two goals within 8 minutes. So I still strongly believe thtt it will be a win win for Real Madrid as usual.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: Today at 05:58:29 AM
Empoli put on a very good match. With this match, many spectators were very enthusiastic because up until the final minute, Empoli was still able to score a goal and m'baye niang managed to score a goal in the final minute, ultimately making Empoli win this match. It is true that with this victory, Empoli managed to survive the relegation zone and still have the opportunity to show their skills again in the Serie A league next season.
Empoli exited the relegation zone by beating Roma and they will stay in Serie A after all. Roma did not have clear target for this match after Atalanta won in their early match and took over the fourth position from Bologna. This means Serie A will only have five clubs in Champions League next season and no special appointed slot for Roma.

Atalanta can get 3 more points and take over the third position from Juventus too but it's not concern of Roma and many other clubs in Serie A, except Juventus. Because with result of matches hours ago, all slots for delegation, slots for Champions League, Europa League and Conference League are all clear.
Many people thought that the FIGC would intervene in the final match to be able to send six representatives to the Champions League, but what happened was quite normal and Atalanta continued to try to win. Roma, who previously had the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League, had to bite the bullet, not because they lost to Empoli, but because La Dea, who successfully won the UEL trophy, also managed to finish in 4th place in Serie A.

And Empoli was truly able to perform extraordinary and achieve its target of surviving in Serie A. Even though it was not easy for Empoli to beat Roma, the goal scored by Niang in the 90+3 minute made them celebrate the victory with great enthusiasm. What a struggle for Empoli!
It is quite surprising to see that Empoli escaped from relegation zone after they fought hard yesterday to see how that can be achieved by winning Roma 2-1 with a dying minute goal. De Rossi started his coaching job with victories in Roma when he came, but will I say that he ended the season with defeats and this was one of the reason why Atalanta was able to take over from them to the 5th position.

How will it be possible for 6 clubs from Italy to play in UCL when they were only given 5 slots and other leagues are four. Is that not fair enough, so tell me how FIGC intervene or is it only Italy clubs that is the world. Atalanta already qualified whether they win the Europa League or not. Assuming Atalanta was not on 5th or 6th position, lemme say 7th position, and they won Europa will you now say that they will be added to the first five clubs on the table. No the club on the 5th position will step down for Atalanta to UCL, and will be in Europa. So it is the same thing with Atalanta already in the 5th position, and won Europa nothing changes and no additional club.

I bet Barcelona to win today.   Hopefully Barcelona will not lose in the last match of the season. And today the Barcelona players are performing very carefully. Barcelona team has already managed to take a 1-0 goal lead.

Robert Lewandowski's goal took the lead in just 15 minutes of the match. At the end of 25 minutes, Barcelona managed to have 57% of the ball possession. and made a total of two shots. On the other hand, Sevilla's players also made two shots.   No team is playing with too much attacking strategy. Sevilla will probably try to draw the match today. On the other hand, Barcelona aims to win the match.

Surprisingly, the teams play as if this game matters. The score is 1-1, but considering what happened in the game, especially in the last minutes of the first half, the score should be at least 2-2. I hope in the second half the goal frame will stop helping the goalkeepers and we will see more goals. At the moment, Barcelona's victory is quoted as 1.77, it seems to me that such optimism regarding Xavi's team is unfounded.
Barcelona is on the lead as Lopez was able to find the back of the net on the 59th minutes after he received a pass from Gudogan. I was wondering if it will be a difficult match for Barcelona, because I never expected them to draw such match.

Sevilla on the other hand cannot be underestimated because we know that once the season is coming to an end that is when they do out in their best performance in the league to make sure that they don't stay below 10th position in the table. I think we might see more goals before the end of this match.

Sevilla 1-2 Barcelona

This is the only match I have supported Manchester City to win, and sadly, they failed. This game is a clear indication that no team is unbeatable. We have been seeing some surprises in football recently, from Atalanta beating Bayer Leverkusen and now City losing to United; I hope we will not see Borussia Dortmund beating Real Madrid in the UCL finals. Congratulations to Man United and especially the coach Erik ten Hag. I hope this trophy will save his job because it seems that the club management has not changed their minds despite the FA Cup win.

Oh, lemme guess. You supported Manchester City because you're one of this Chelsea fans? You must have been disappointed with the result from yesterday then because Manchester United did not just send Chelsea alone but also Newcastle United who thought it was going to be the other way.

I won't be surprised seeing the Champions League Competition going sideways, currently too many people want to see Real Madrid gaik and lose saying they have literally won the Champions League Competition too much. Winning it too much is nothing as much as they have followed the right means to get the Champions League. It should a great goodbye for Toni Kroos, I hope things play out well.

The coach is a good coach but he has seen unfair criticisms this season especially from the media and ex players in the Premier League who are simply being biased.
If they don't want I, I'm.sure we will go elsewhere and shine. He is a tactically sound coach. People who can't see it that way are baised or dump in the head.
People who don't want to see Real Madrid win because they have won it more than any club is just jealous of Real Madrid and don't like quality and the success of a good club. Assuming it was their own club that is playing the finals, they will support them even if they know that it will be impossible for their club to win the finals.

I can see that a lot of biased people are not saying the fact because they are player hating. Just like what happened yesterday, it was a shock and disappointment to Chelsea because they never thought that United can win the match and they have being claiming that they are better than Manchester united this season but just one game turned United around and became better than Chelsea this season.

Atalanta - Torino game has started. Now Roma players and fans are praying for Atalanta to lose points.  Grin  Because Atalanta have to finish the season at the fifth position the most for Roma also to qualify for the Champions League as a reminder. Atalanta just need to collect less than 3 points in the remaining 2 games including the one being played right now.

Because even if Atalanta equalize the points with Bologna by getting 2 draws, Bologna are still ahead of them on head-to-heads. I hope we see Roma in the Champions League after many years.  Roll Eyes  It will be a quite forced qualification though but it doesn't matter for me.

What happens even if they lose? They will still make it to the Champions League Competition at the end of the day. As for As Roma, they will be playing the European Europa League Competition next season and there's nothing more to say about it. Asides that when you take a proper look at the table, you'll see that they have one game against Florentina to play a win or draw will even keep them above As Roma.
Atalanta has done well this season, the last time I followed them this good was way back 2020.

It seems like five clubs from the Italian Seria A Competition will be in the Champions League Competition next season, Yes? I don't think we will see them.
Daniel De Rossi had a good start but not finishing strong. He is already giving same vibes and energy Xabi Alonso gave me last season. Let's see what he achieves next season with this players.
He will later become a coach to bring victory to Roma, if they give him another opportunity to be the coach next season. This is because, he was able to revive the team when he came from their awkward performance, and that was achieved. It is just that in football we are all expecting victory all the time from these clubs and they all of them are winning, then who will lose for the other to be a winner.

Today match will determine De Rossi, if he will be staying or not, because of they fail to win tonight's match, they cannot qualify for Europa which will make this season worst than last season during José Mourinho tenure as manager. It is quit difficult for me to understand why the decline in performance from Roma at this critical time that clubs are fighting to secure their tickets to European competitions.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 26, 2024, 05:42:01 PM
Speculation is good, especially when you really want to know about Atalanta's potential for success in the Champions League next season. Atalanta is a participant in the Champions League in the 2021-2022 season, but Atalanta failed that season because its performance was very declining. Next season Atalanta will certainly gain confidence again to compete in Serie A and the Champions League, but Atalanta is not a team that is really expected to achieve great success in the Champions League.

Several new players are likely to be brought in next season so that Atalanta can improve their team's performance. Evaluation of the team's performance this season will certainly help them find problems, one of which is the problem of a defense that does not yet appear strong.
Thanks to winning the Europa League final, Gasparini most likely will be able to receive additional funding in the summer, this will strengthen the team, but I agree that Atalanta is not that team, which is capable of achieving great success in the Champions League. And the main reason for this is the unstable play, this is a long-standing problem of Atalanta, they are capable of playing great, but at some point they simply begin to lose and concede more than they should.

Agree, even though Atalanta has the ability, but Atalanta often experiences a decline in performance in the midst of competition. Therefore, these factors mean that Atalanta cannot expect too much. But at least, because of Atalanta's success this season in winning the Europa League trophy by beating a team that was undefeated throughout the season, it is possible that factor will be a moral increase for the Atalanta squad next season. Thus, it is hoped that Atalanta will be able to get better results, even if only in one of them, whether getting better results in Serie A or in the Champions League. But of course, maintaining consistency is a difficult job, even big teams cannot easily get good results throughout the season.

they can achieve great results considering the great result they have achieved is the result of years of preparation so as they have been able to do in recent years they will find excellent players who will be able to honor the shirt and do well in the coming years too, I still remember when Josep Ilicic was there who great player, it was thought that it would be difficult to find a player to replace him given the depression and yet he lost and the club was able to replace the player very well so I think they can achieve excellent results with excellent replacements
What can hinder their performance next season is if their key players move to a bigger club, but if they don't then it means that Atalanta will still be able to come up with their outstanding performance. However, it does not mean that because you performed superbly this season means that you will be able to do the same next season. This is because clubs will want to improve their squad by bringing in new players to strengthen the quality of the club.

We have seen it in some clubs whereby, they win the league this season and did very bad in the next season. Napoli is a typical example of such club. What matters is that a strong club should keep up to its quality at all times, and that is what will make that club to be counted among the strongest clubs. I hope to the best of Atalanta next season.

Talking about altcoins, you must not wait until you have 5x profit before you sell off. This is because there is little or no possibility that they will survive in the market for long, so it is good that you take profit the moment your profit have an increase of 1% and above. Some altcoins will pump and after pumps, if they dump they will not be able go pymp anymore.

Assuming it is bitcoin that is when you can relax and take profit the moment bitcoin reaches your price target, because it will definitely reach there, so what I do is that, I sell altcoins when I am on profit, and buy more Bitcoin. Don't forget that investing in altcoins is like gamble so don't be greedy to see a bigger profit, but appreciate the little profit it has given to you, because no one knows that will be the price tomorrow.

Do you feel that all young guys should be informed and educated about bitcoin ? 
It all depends on how old the young guy is, if he is up to 13 years and above then why not. He can be taught about bitcoin but just only the basics and that is all. Also it is not compulsory that you must have mobet to invest in bitcoin before you can learn or have the basics knowledge of bitcoin.

Some adults are in this forum that have learnt more about bitcoin here, but don't have any bitcoin investment due to lack of discretionary income. A young guy that have the basic knowledge of bitcoin can buy the idea and will be happy he knows about bitcoin so that when he starts working, he can start investing in bitcoin. The thing there is that you should not force anyone to learn bitcoin either old or young.

Kids can get the awareness of bitcoin  through cartoons, but it does not mean that they will invest. Did you started making money before you were taught business study in school. Every knowledge gained now can be used in future to achieve a better living.

No matter how weak Manchester United looked this season, they eventually won the trophy, and Arsenal, which was much better, remained nothing. But at the same time, no one is saying that Arteta could be fired, and there are constantly rumors that ten Hag will be fired. And for Arsenal nothing is guaranteed for next season, they could also remain without trophies, Chelsea, Newcastle or Tottenham could become stronger, or Liverpool will have a more successful season and for Arteta it will all end again in a season without trophies...
Indeed you said is true because although Manchester United performance in Premier League is not consistent but eventually Manchester United is still gets at least 1 trophy this season but for Arsenal although they can able to fight with Manchester City for race title two season in a row and they can finish at runner up place but in fact Arsenal is without the trophies this season and if we look at from the trophy achievements we have to be admitted that Manchester United under Ten Hag is much better than Arsenal in the last 2 season

2 season and 2 trophy i have to says Ten Hag has fulfilled his promise at Manchester United that when he was first time arrived to this team Ten Hag was promised the trophy and he can realized that target although he still unable to bringing Manchester United to gets Premier League trophy but i think this is good start and if Ten Hag is still in this team i think next season Manchester United will be able to performing better than this season and recently some of Manchester United players is still hopes that Ten Hag will be still at this team next season but it says Ten Hag future will be decided next week whether he will be sacked or retained
Have we started singing the praise of Ten Hag because Manchester united managed to win Manchester City to become the FA Cup champions this season. The fact remains that Eric Ten Hag is not fit to be the coach of Manchester united if they want to aim a big cup and win trophies just like the way United was winning trophies during Sir Alex Ferguson reign. Wake up man, Manchester united needs to feature in big competitions like the UCL, because they are not a small club.

If we want to talk about first four on the table, United should always have a spot there, because that is what will qualify them to a bigger competition where they can find victory if possible. Arteta might be called unlucky with no trophy but don't forget that they won City in the beginning of the season to win the first competition this season. We should also note that Arteta is keeping Arsenal on the standard that Arsen Wenger was keeping it when he was the coach. They don't ever stay below 2nd to 5th position on the table, with difficulties in winning EPL. So maybe that is just how the fate of Arsenal is, who knows.

I think for sure many people here gave advice that the most important thing we can do is not continue to play and not try to return what we gave to the casino and this is the best advice. Then we need to act consistently and the next stage will be that we need to find new hobbies in life in order to escape from gambling and find ourselves in something new. Of course, it will be difficult for many to do this, but it was very easy for me and I found additional income in areas that interest me. If the player cannot find this, then it makes sense to simply find something that we have always been interested in, but we could not try. Life itself gives us this chance for new discoveries. Sitting and being sad about the fact that we lost money or our entire deposit and doing nothing is the worst thing because in this way we will only go into a long depression and nothing more. I suggest everyone start taking action and be active, and not stop after losses.

Good point, moving forward and taking actions is the best remedy instead of keep regretting and dwelling with what happened from your previous session, most of the time when you suffer from that kind of defeat you always wanted to recover and instead of enjoying the game you'll end up losing more, the kind of emotions that might lead you into addiction.

You should have that will-power to forget about that previous losses and moving on as it's needed to have a fresh mind when dealing back.

It's more on how you sholud deal and handle your loss and keep that enjoyment and not that aggression to try and winning back your money.

No matter our past experience in life, we need to accept it and move on with our lives no matter the great loss that gamble has done to us. If a gambler cannot let go of his losses after losing, it shows that he is not a matured gambler and it will affect him a lot, in the sense that he will end up in poverty and frustration. However, if a gambler can ignore his losses and move on with life, he will learn from his mistakes and use that as a reference in order for him not to make wrong decisions in life again.

This is because he was able to know how backward his gambling losses have kept him, and he will want to cover for all those days when he was busy chasing his losses due to addiction. If that gambler wants to continue gambling, it means that he must work on himself to enable him gamble in a way that he will not be addicted and will also be able to control his losses. Otherwise, he needs not to gamble anymore to avoid falling into the trap of addiction the second time.

We keep talking about gambling addiction and how bad it is to become addicted, does it mean that addicted gamblers lose money all the time? Do you means those guys doesn't win anything at all? Can they not be lucky to win jackpots?
It is not that addicted gamblers don't win huge amount of money, they do but due to addiction they don't use the money to invest or for an important purpose but they gamble all their wins in one night or two.

On this board, we are always referring addiction as a terrible thing but does it mean that those addicted gamblers doesn't win money, are they only bounded to losses upon losses?
Addicted gambler and a responsible gambler is bound to losses upon losses, because we loss more than the getting profit, which is why it is very bad to be addicted. This is because when you are addicted, you will not be able to control your losses which is connected to your emotions , which is the only difference between an addicted gambler and a responsible gambler. You should also know that money will not always be there for you to gamble which makes it unethical to be addicted, because at a point you might become a pest on people around you.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What are the limits and common sense of bet? on: May 26, 2024, 10:50:04 AM
From what I understand what is bet is, both parties involved most stake something so that whoever losses will have to miss something. If a bet is only on one person, I will not call it a bet. The casino or sport bets that we use for our staking activities have a lot of money in which we can win, and it is because of this money that is making a lot of people to gamble, because if you win, you will get paid and if you lose, the casino keeps your money. So betting only on one side shows a sign of unseriousness a joke to me because it is only the bettor that will lose. Sometimes, those kind of bets are done orally, and should not be taken as a bet. I have not involved in such game because I feel it is cheating, because I know my friends they will definitely want you to do whatever you said. Will I call such a promise or something.
Very true my dear, before anything is called a bet, they parties must mutually stake something of value to make it a bet, because one person must either win or lose something of value be it money, property or any other tangible things available. just like the casino or betting shop that you cited earlier both of them have their money to risk and that is why they cannot allow you to play without risking your money too because if you win you will go with their money and if you lose vice versa.

gambling or betting should be symbiotic in nature because that is the fun, and that is also the reason why the bettor will take it very seriously, though i have seen friends who bet orally just to have fun and probably to keep themselves busy, gambling is also fun and sweet when you stake something reasonable because the amount you have staked brings out your seriousness.

They can call it betting, but that is not betting but 'promise'. If someone said he bet with you and only you or the person has something to lose while not having anything to gain if he or she wins, you are only promising yourselves. Betting means someone has to lose. There are two opponents that bet, there most be a loser and a winner. The winner takes the money of the loser while the winner also risked his or her own money.
Excellent answer guys, when only one side has to lose, why should we call it a bet, given that in a bet, it must be something agreed between the pairs involved and both one and the other need to agree to bet something of value?

Now, for someone to force you to do something just because they said it out loud in a joking tone is bad character in my opinion, as it is a character defect.
This is why you should avoid using such promising words as joke in order for such people not to take advantage of you when you are joking, or select your words when you are with such people. This is because they might not see it as a joke since they take it serious. I have fallen victim on this several times, sometimes I just do what I said I would, and sometimes I don't accept that I meant it.

Whatever that we say with our mouths without any action of staking, I don't see it as a bet. Even if two friend wants to bet and they don't have money to stake for the bet at that moment but went ahead to say it with their mouth. I don't see it as a bet, because an action of staking most take place immediately from both parties for it to be a bet.

Culture is good when the people are living in love and peace in unity with one another. In my country, I don't think that our culture has improved our economy but rather it has destroyed it. I am saying this from my own experience and everyone also have their own view and experience on the positive or negative impact of culture to their country's economy. It is not all culture that promotes peace, unity, love and development, some cultures are very demonic to the society because it deprives some set of people to benefit from the country.

Greed, self centered, lack of contentmente and power tussle have destroyed so many good things that culture have for us. When the wrong people are in power, they don't respect culture.
