Betting on Real Madrid was never been a wrong decision, but it can turns become wrong decision if they all in on Real Madrid and think Real Madrid will win 100%. Whatever the teams you bet and how safe the bet is, you should only bet what you can afford to lose, the easy way is only bet with normal amount that usually you gambled on sports.

Europa League was the example, I believe there will be someone all in to bet Leverkusen since they were unbeatable.
Betting on Madrid to win is not a bad decision and it will not even give high returns, but batting against them will give more rewards and it is likely to happen because Dortmund is also not a small team because they also have little Champions League experience even though Madrid has more experience and squad than them this season.

What happened to Leverkusen on the final day is a lesson to learn and it still happening to Manchester City too because they are losing to United despite performance in the League and the FA Cup.

Dortmund might be lucky to win the game, they have good players and Jordan Sancho is a good and a lucky scorer who can easily score for the team.

The second half started for the final which I actually didn't expect for now Msnchester United to be 2 goals ahead against Manchester City Cheesy
It seems that this match is a place for the youngsters to stand out. With 2 goals scored by Garnacho and Mainoo in this match, it makes the match more interesting.
I actually expected such outcome in this match because Manchester City is not perfect and can easily make mistakes which I am very sure Ten Hag’s players will not let go because they are actually in need of this FA Cup so that they will not go without trophy after failing to qualify for the Champions League next season.
Garnacho and Maino has provide the difference in the match and Manchester United’s defense should do the remaining job to make sure they avoid conceding goal early.

Quote

Pep has to do something in the second half, their first half wasn't bad but because they were too engrossed in marking players and possession they didn't expect Manchester United to counterattack quickly which was quite deadly. The rest for Manchester United today they just need to make the match the same as the first half because surely for the second half now Pep will be more determined to catch up and Manchester United's task now is only to be able to try their best so that the momentum is not owned by Manchester City in this match.
Manchester City is still dominating the match, they are mounting pressure to the Manchester United’s and are trying to create more chances in the game; if they score early before 70 minutes, then they can comeback in the match else, they have lost it.

So, why will you take advice from a non-inevestor and become discouraged not to invest into Bitcoin too? The person you are taking advice from doesn't even have a decent knowledge about Bitcoin.
The only thing that should compare you with others in terms of Bitcoin investment should be knowledge and information, anything apart from that you should just avoid advice from anyone.
Cryptocurrency is a journey that you will embark on with your knowledge and not others advice because no one will take responsibility when you lose money.
Learn and gain knowledge first so as not to rely or depend on other people’s advice while trying to invest; and make your you learn how to do your research.

Restless and waiting are two opposite things, and are also what help us distinguish between a true Bitcoin investor and a gambler.
When you understand the basic concept of Bitcoin, you will know that these two things you are trying to compare and not comparable.

If you compare gambling and trading, I will understand your comparison because trading is very risky and you can lose money same as gambling too; but you talk about Bitcoin investment, then you need to take Bitcoin out of this discussion, because Bitcoin is unique coin that gives financial freedom and it store value despite the market volatility.

Some Altcoin investment can be compared to gambling because some altcoin can just die just like that, that is why altcoin investments should be a short term investment.
6  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why are banks against cryptocurrency? on: May 24, 2024, 07:43:04 PM
So what I'm ultimately getting out here, is that crypto currency can't go in line with banks. What are your thoughts towards this?
Forget all these stories, banks can never like Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for some reasons:

Banks are centralized system that monitors people’s wealth and keep their wealth in their custody for long and give directions on how to withdraw them when you need them; while Bitcoin is decentralized and it is an open system in the blockchain where everyone can track any transaction and it also gives financial freedom where you will not depend on anyone to withdraw their money.

Banks wants to use our money for their investment while holding Bitcoin in a decentralized wallet will give you freedom and you will be your own bank and control your wealth yourself.
7  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Best Crypto Wallet on: May 24, 2024, 07:37:38 PM
Before anyone says that it depends on what I need specifically then here is what I am here for. I can not decide which one really is the best based on the things I want. First of all I plan on holding some bitcoin (not huge amount) for a foreseeable future. However I also plan on swapping it for usdt from time to time aka when the price is getting high. I need a wallet that has low fees, preferably decentralized, and is secure.

Any recommendations?
Since you can easily swap or send them exchange for USDT, then Electrum wallet will be perfect for you or BlueWallet.

These wallets are decentralized and open source, you will be responsible for any activity going on in the wallet because you will be the one holding and maintaining your private key which if you know more about wallet you will know by know that it is like your pin to your account which is your wallet.

I will recommend you to read about wallets, keys and address in this book so that you will understand how the wallet works and you will know the importance of your wallet private key.

The season has ended and next season Paris Saint Germain will certainly not have the players they have always relied on, they will have to lose Mbappe because they decided to leave Paris Saint Germain and look for an even bigger challenge. I want to see what they will do next, who other star players they will bring in, because right now I think these players are comfortable with their respective teams.
Even though most of the players are now very comfortable with the team they are currently playing for, PSG itself will also try to monitor the market in order to find a player who is worthy enough to replace Mbappe. Although this will certainly be quite difficult for PSG because now the best players on other teams won't just want to move if they are comfortable enough with the team they are currently in. But PSG's task is to search even though the conditions are not easy enough for them.
No team will be happy to sell their star player just as PSG is about doing if they let Mbappe leave the team.

They will be in search of a good winger to replace him which will be a bit hard for them especially as they are always not lucky when it comes to Champions league; although they can sign from small teams, but getting a player from a top team will be very difficult for them.

Some players will be willing to join the team, if they are lucky enough, they can get a good replacement that can do something even if it is not up to the one Mbappe is doing because the PSG team relies on Mbappe.

Manchester City won the EPL title 4 times in a row, something no club have ever thought of doing in the history of the EPL, I'd say Pep is indeed a genius in the game of football. Arsenal on the other hand were very close in stopping Manchester City from accomplishing their goal and this would make it 2 seasons in a row that Arteta have tried to gift the Gunners the title as a coach.
Manchester City under Pep he set another record in the history of Premier League; they won four premier leagues title in a row and their team is still one of the best team in the EPL because when you check their players, they have individual qualities that they can fit in the first eleven of almost all teams in the EPL.

Arsenal on the other hand has yet tried again this season and failed, but their performance this season was superb as they were able to make the competition tight till the final day. I am seeing Arsenal as a potential title winner because they are given Manchester City a tight competition and will likely win the EPL next season if they sign a reliable striker.

 With this very squad of Manchester City that have done so much in English football, dominating every single domestic competition in England, can this very Pep Guardiola's squad be compared to Arsenal's invincible squad back then in 2003–04 season? Between both teams which is better?
Arsenal’s invisible squad is a team of legends, the players that play for badge that is why they were not defeated; and this era of football is completely different from that times, I still see the legends as the best team compared to this Manchester City squad even though some players are not too good in their positions compared to Manchester City’s player in this squad.

I was always one of the guys here who dont fully back Bayern Leverkusen in this tournament, in the last time i start to back them a litle bit more because they were showing a unique habilty to scape from every dificult situation, but also yesterday in this thread i said, for me it was super high odds 4.33 for Atalanta to win, and you see Atalanta oblited LEverkusen with a Lookman out of this world yesterday.

It is quite difficult to adequately assess the chances of a team and put a normal odds when the opponent is a team that has never lost and is now entering its last match of the season. So I'm not surprised by these odds, although like many people I believed in Liverkusen's victory. They have come a long way anyway and left behind broken records, so they can be proud of themselves
Leverkusen should still be proud of themselves because they credibly well this season, they won Bundesliga unbeaten and played almost all matches unbeaten in the Europa League until yesterday when Atalanta defeated them in their last match of the season that will make them a treble winners. This lose should not be an excuse to criticize their performance, in fact, I blame Alonso for putting some of his important players on bench in the beginning of the match, which shows that they completely did not expect a defeat against an Atalanta side that couldn’t make it to top four in their domestic league Seria A.

Leverkusen remain my best German team of the year and my best team of the season because they showed an impressive performance this season with average players that are not completely known in the world of football.

Next season, Leverkusen will go again and will make sure they have another wonderful season to prove to the world that this season is not just by luck.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 22, 2024, 09:04:15 PM
WOW!!

Atalanta have blown Leverkusen away with aplomb. Alonso had no answer for the tacttics that Gasperini came in with and the players followed it to the latter.

Lookman with the first ever hat-trick in the Europa league final just summed up how good Atalanta were today. They dominated every part of the pitch for the entirety of the match.

Congratulations to Atalanta

- Jay -
Alonso actually tied this season, but the too much hope on the Europa League victory has ended today. Leverkusen’s unbeaten ended in their last important match of the season.

No more treble for Leverkusen.

Congratulations Atalanta, they win a final that many people don’t expect them to win, this is indeed an incredible win for Atalanta, they are very lucky to win this trophy and a big congratulations to Lukman for his hat trick in the match his goals see his team to victory, today will be a special day for him and the entire team.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 22, 2024, 07:33:54 PM
I think tonight is going to be a though match for both Atalanta against Bayern Leverkusen in the UEFA Europa league final, because looking at the both teams performance since the beginning of the season I think they are really good to go, however I'm seeing the match as a goal less draw or at worst a 1:1 score draw.
Ademola Lukuman has already put Atalanta in front with a goal in the 12th minute of the game, the Leverkusen defender was relaxed and Lukuman was lucky to kick the ball to the back of the net.

Just now, Lukuman has double the led to make it 2-0. I think people’s instinct on Leverkusen is going down because the underrated Atalanta is doing something very great tonight.
Nevertheless, it is not yet over, there is more time to play, but with the domination Atalanta has, I think they can win at the end.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: May 22, 2024, 12:43:37 PM
I almost forgot that the final is today, I was thinking it was next week  Shocked
I almost missed my chance to bet

Leverkusen's victory is paying 1.89 and I'm going to place that bet without thinking too much
At Duelbits the chances of Leverkusen winning in the regular time is 52%

Atalanta could surprise of course, as they did against Liverpool, but I think Leverkusen will win, the victory sequence is incredible
The bookmakers in different platform are given Leverkusen the highest chance of winning the match because of their current performance in just concluded Bundesliga and their Europa League performance so far and with the fact they are undefeated this season that is why almost all platforms are given them high chances of winning the Europa League ahead of Atalanta.

If we check statistics, Atalanta actually have a chance today because they won their last two matches against Leverkusen and we know them with history because that’s what happened against Liverpool; we all know that Liverpool were better than them in the Europa League this season, but for the fact that they are always good against Liverpool, they defeated them at Anfield and denied them plenty goals when Liverpool visited them on the second leg.

Therefore, since Atalanta won their last two matches against Leverkusen, they should not be underrated because they can be lucky to win today.

I’m looking for a new team to support instead of Chelsea. After yesterday's sacking of coach Pochettino, I've been trying to avoid anything related to Chelsea. I've even unfollowed the board members on Twitter. I can't understand what they expect from managers. Those billionaire owners seem to want a manager who will just bow to them, like Porters. One more season could have made a difference; the statistics prove it. This is a young team with their first experience in England, and Pochettino guided them to winning ways. They played well even during the toughest part of the season when other teams were fighting for survival.Boehly and Eghbali should just go to H**l
If you are a true fan, you will never think of leaving the team just because of this decision of changing or sacking Pochettihnho; if you are a real Chelsea fan, you should have been used to different coaches because Chelsea is a team that don’t usually give coaches long time like Arsenal and Manchester United.

The new Chelsea owners are not actually trying, they don’t believe in any long term process of building team, that is why they are sacking their managers after a failed season, and I don’t think doing so will give the team the best performance they need; over changing managers can even lead the team to downfall because any new coach have to start from beginning and sign another players he feel can do better for him which is another expenses for the team and it will trigger some players to easily leave the club.

I do not know about the managerial career of him. I know that he was a very good defender back in the day. I also know that he is currently the coach of Burnley. And Burnley just got relegated. So I do not think it is going to be a very wise idea to actually get him as the coach of Bayern Munich. They should look for someone who has already been able to prove himself. And I do not think he is that guy.

You know, he has not coached big clubs so far. The first somewhat big club or decent club that he has actually taken up the coaching job for Burnley and they got relegated this season. So I do not think Munich should consider him as an actual candidate. I think Munich will be better off with the coach that they have right now instead of getting Kompany.

Vincent Kompamy tried his best for Burnley this season but they lack quality players that can survive the Premier League which is the reason why they get relegated back to Championship; but if we rate his performance as a coach, he have good tactics that will be useful for big teams that have quality players.

Bayern Munich have good set of players that are capable of winning several trophies; I see him as a good coach but teams like Munich is too big for him especially as Alonso has set new record and is making the Bundesliga more interesting.

Pochetino and Chelsea next season will be hot.He tried towards the end of the season,trying to come to play European football.Chelses is one team that is supposed to be like Arsenal because they are full of young talents.Almost all of them are age brackets,so they should be able to do well and qualify for champions league football.I will look at where they will finish next season,and if they can finish in the top four,the Pochetino will be the real man for the job,but for now,if he is to stay,he must prove to them that he can take these boys to champions league next season.
Pochettihnho has already part ways with Chelsea FC. Chelsea need to start afresh with another manager next season which to me is not a wise idea because  Pochettihnho is about to recover all the lapses and will soon make the team proud, but it seems like the owners are not patient enough to keep waiting.

Meme coin trends change, so some are strong enough to last, some are not. Therefore, we have to choose the best meme coin for investment so that we can make a profit and don't expect quick profits because doge coin took quite a long time to get to this point and reach its highest price
Then how do we know the ones that will last in the market?

Meme coins are good only for short term investment, you can never be sure when the project will go down despite their promises during their advert and because it is centralized the team can part ways after they achieve their goals.

Following trends for short time is good but always do more research about any project you are about to invest in so that you can be safe and make sure you take your profits because altcoins cannot be trusted.

Mixer ban actually contributes to all these; since the mixers were banned some active users stopped given the contributions they used to give in the forum, some of them went offline while some will be online and will not involve in the ongoing discussion which may be worthless according them.
Interesting topics are not more coming to the forum as it used to be in the past and we are losing valuable users: doses that mean that some of us are mainly for the signature campaigns?

18  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why use decentralized bitcoin in a centralized way? on: May 21, 2024, 02:30:49 PM
From my research recently, I have come to realize that a lot of bitcoin users are still stuck with the traditional idea of saving money with a central authority. Importing this idea to a decentralized Bitcoin, has led to the invention of bitcoin banks, exchanges and custodial wallets. Now, as the day passes, more bitcoiners are becoming centralized.
Sure, people are using bitcoin in centralized exchanges or in centralized ways which I think can only be involve in sharing of bitcoin within various wallet address.
While some bitcoin users are too careless to be using exchanges to store bitcoin which is not in line with decentralization, but they chose to keep their asset on the exchanges instead of sending them out after trading them in the exchange.


Quote
  Is there a club or group of only people who uses bitcoin the Satoshi way, I will like to belong here.

I do not want to use bitcoin the centralized way, I want to have total control of my coins and be my own bank. Is this difficult to achieve? Are there prices I have to pay or is everyone eventually moving to the centralized way?
Yes, a lot of people here are using Bitcoin the Satoshi way which is taking full control of your Bitcoin and becoming your bank.

You can buy a cold storage wallet, or any non custodial wallets to store your bitcoin, but be mindful of your private key, learn how to save them well because the fear of losing private keys is the reason some people prefer using exchanges. If you can afford any physical bitcoin wallet, you can use an open source wallets like Electrum and Blue wallet for the main time before you can afford a physical wallet.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: When investing in Bitcoin: what to consider? on: May 21, 2024, 02:14:50 PM
When trying to invest in Bitcoin, you should only consider the benefit of Bitcoin and how does the Bitcoin and the crypto market works; if you understand Bitcoin, you have no doubt on what to consider since you will have known that it is a decentralized currency that will store the value of your wealth and you will even have benefits if the market go bullish.

And critics say Bitcoin doesn't work as a currency, Citing volatility use in illegal activity, but supporters argue that it's too early to make  some of these claims, is already fixing many of those concerns. I know their are so many things to be consider with when it comes to anything investment. Mostly concerning the highest exchange in the world. So what are your opinion towards the people that are investing in Bitcoin?
For the people criticizing Bitcoin which are mostly government that like centralization for selfish reasons, they will always say that it is been used for illegal activities and money laundering which is not true in some extent; although people are using the means of cryptocurrency and Bitcoin to do illegal activities which is also been done with fiat money as well.

Great match Bologna vs Juventus... I believed in Bologna, but I had no doubt that they would not lose... Juventus combe back must have surprised everyone... Nobody expected them to equalise in the second half in such a desperate situation... But this match once again showed that in football there are often surprises... Now I wonder what Atalanta will be able to do after the Europa League final...

Bologna underestimated Juventus in the second half and paid for that. How could they accept 3 goals to be scored in less than 10 minutes! Juventus isn't a threat to any team in Serie A from a long period now.. They are lucky there will be 5 teams from Serie A to go to the new version of UEFA Champions League, otherwise I start to doubt if they could end 4th or not..
I never expected a draw in the match either, I blame Bologna for being too relaxed with just three goals and I commend Juventus for trying to draw the match. This is sign that next season will be a tough season in the Seria A because if Juventus will recover fully and add more players to their squad they will be title contenders and with this effort teams like Bologna and Atalanta were making, they will also give it a try next season to see if they can perform well just as Leverkusen did in the German Bundesliga.
