1  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can a sport team initiate its own loss? on: October 05, 2024, 12:09:19 PM
Of course, it is possible for a football team to deliberately initiate its own losses if they don't like the coach, and they want a new coach. Since the players knows that it is unprofessional to complain about the coach or tell the management to fire him, they will do it their own way by intentionally losing their matches so that the management and fans will believe that the coach is incompetent and fire him.

It happened last year with Roma, when Mourinho was complaining that he needed new players in addition to the old ones. Roma players from my own understanding were deliberately losing their matches so that Mourino will be fired and after Mourinho got fired and De Rosi took over, the team won straight three matches to make the club feel that Mourinho was their problem. Whose tactics did they use to win those three consecutive wins, was it not Mourinho game tactics. De Rossi finally got sacked because he couldn't improve the club's performance after sometimes.
For a team to lose deliberately to another team is a dumb thing to do. If they intend to set the coach up so that he will be sacked, then they can do it another way. The reason why I say the idea is dumb is because losing consistently is going to affect their stats and their value in the market table. I don't think any player would want such a bad record for himself. Also, eyes may be on them, since the new coach would want to change most of the players if the plan was executed without any failure.

One way they could set their coach to be sacked is by filing an appeal to the board of directors. I think players are allowed to do that. The board will take hid to their appeal and see to it. If there is a need to change the coach, then they will if they don't see any big deal then the appeal will be rejected. Still why plan for the coach to be sacked when there can be improvement?

The 9th match of La Liga has opened with the Leganes vs Valencia match both ended in a goalless draw. In the next match there is no big match but I think this is a good opportunity to seek profit in betting on football matches such as in the Real Madrid vs Villareal match I predict Real Madrid will create an advantage first, the Girona vs Bilbao match I bet on the Asian total of more than 1.5 and the Alaves vs Barcelona match I bet Barcelona will win.
I don't include more matches in my parlay bet because I think the fewer we choose the closer we are to profit.

Real Madrid to score first is possible but after that Lille match I don't expect Real Madrid to score first in the game. I'll say that's a riskier odd to pick. The way sports games are going these days, any team could score first because the rules in officiating have changed a lot. Red cards flying up there, multiple corners and to mention a few.

After losing the match against Lille in the Champions League, Real Madrid are going to face La Liga Villarreal at their own home ground. We can safely bet on Real Madrid today because we can make sure that Real Madrid will be able to beat the opposition today in this match. In addition, Real Madrid can be expected to improve its game strategy today, but if Villarreal is able to attack strongly, Real Madrid can be hurt. As the current Villarreal team is playing very well and has changed a lot of their game, their performance is very strong, moreover they are in the third position in the points table.
So in today's match, Real Madrid will have to attack in a way that the opposition team can't defend very well, but Real Madrid will have a chance to win today.
Literally what I was talking about. To be honest I don't want to make the same mistake today again. Since Real Madrid is inconsistent these days, we don't know what to expect. I won't bet on them to win. Rather I can choose from varieties of odds that are safer. It could be Real Madrid to win or draw because i don't expect Villareal to win them in as much as anything could happen.

Infact I have come to the realization that there are currently countries who are living in the future and there are also countries who are also living behind time because they have failed to embrace change and move on with the ever changing world.
Let me tell you the reason why some countries are still behind.

1. Bad government. Living in a country where the leaders fail to embrace development if offered by the youths or other countries this is just the least of the problem. Some countries don't have access to modern technology while some have but refuse to learn it.

2. Geographical land size. Most countries have huge land sizes and a large population. It becomes uneasy for them to share resources and facilities to meet everyone's needs. Leading to the government taking loans from higher countries in power. This will make them indebted to the higher countries because some loans are difficult to pay.

3. Also, i would say, lack of sea access. Most countries have restrictions on sea trading. They are landlocked or are not interested in trading by sea. which led to incompetency in fighting invaders through the sea. Not just that, alone but they are unable to discover new things through foreigners that will visit and collaborate with countries by sharing resources.
4  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Tips for trading strategy in STOP LOSS on: October 05, 2024, 10:54:47 AM
It's definitely better to make a small mistake with taking a small loss if the trade didn't go as expected, than punishing yourself into holding the position with a bigger loss while waiting for the asset to recover. Your position will either get liquidated, OR you will take the bigger loss because you want the "punishment" to stop. Hahaha.

It'll be better if the market wasn't going to recover but if the market is going to recover, you're better off hodling than selling. To make this decision we have to consider the project that we're trading. For Bitcoin trade, there's a certainty that the market is going to recover and you don't have to sell to minimize your loss when you can hodl and maximize your potential gains. The project that we're trading should decide the decisions we're to make and not to view all the projects as one. Trading altcoins, it's better you sell to minimize losses and reopen the trade later.

Stop loss is a vital option to have when trading and for those traders that are trading without a stop loss, they're taking very big risk as there will be no leverage that they're going to have against the market when it's dumping. Stop loss should be fixed about 10% from your entry price and that's all I can add for now.
You have spoken well. We should always be mindful of the assets we are dealing with. Some assets in this condition will not recover and then the best option then it's to take the available money instead of losing more. But if it is Bitcoin of course we know that the market will retrace back even if sometimes we have to wait for weeks or two. The good thing about it is that there is assurance that we won't lose our assets and there is also hope that we can make a profit once it retraces and gets higher in price.

Indirectly, what we should understand between Bitcoins and altcoins is that altcoins don't require patience at all while trading. Because of the risk and inability to completely trust them. While Bitcoin requires patience to trading because there is trust in it. The choice is ours to make. And at the end of the day whatever choice we make we will take responsibility for it.
5  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025 on: October 05, 2024, 01:26:30 AM
It's another match week and we get to see most of the premier league's games today. Which is your favorite team to win today and what team are you betting on?

Crystal Palace vs Liverpool, Arsenal vs Southampton, Brentford vs Wolves, Man City vs Fulham, West Ham vs Ipswich Town, Leicester City vs Bournemouth.

As for me, I will be picking a few games and that should be. Arsenal to win, Manchester City to win, Liverpool to win either half and lastly West Ham and Ipswich Town to score 3 goals and above in total (over 2.5). Am still kind of skeptical about Liverpool winning either half but with their past performance and they are at the top of the table I can easily bet on them.
6  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Beware of This Sophisticated Fraud Related to Stake.com on: October 05, 2024, 01:13:06 AM
I didnt know that Telegram has ads like that? I never saw it even if I wasn’t Telegram premium before. Is that common nowadays? It’s easy to spot if you know that there are some unusual activities that casinos do. I haven’t heard casinos do airdrops so that’s already a red flag.

Be careful and be vigilant in these types of things.
The new updates on Telegram are making it easy for scammers to find new patterns or strategies to scam people. To tell you the truth, many people have been scammed by this ad feature, Ad if OP had not shared this here, a lot of people from the forum might as well fall victim. However, I am just getting to know about the Ads feature. I rarely enter Telegram unless for official business that's why I wasn't aware of the update.

If you have an account at stake.com (which I am sure most of you use), you might be in their Telegram groups which give you authentic information about bonuses and various events related to stake.com. Today I have seen an ad on stake.com's official Telegram group which looks like the one below.
Do not click on it. It will lead you to a fake bot which looks original and authentic to a less careful eye. It will promise you a 1000% bonus with no wager,  fake stake token airdrop  or some other nonsense and will tell you to deposit through some Telegram bot which again will look and sound authentic. But make no mistake, you will never see your money again.
If you observe carefully OP, they target the weak countries or i would say countries that are more into gambling activities and don't have easy access to the stake platform. Indian was mentioned in the channel from the message i saw. And we all know they are into gambling. Also, most Indians are looking for easy way to earn money online, so which made them vulnerable to this kind of scams.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Asian total on: October 04, 2024, 11:00:13 PM
Do not mind me for this question.

I know about total (under and over) but this is used on local betting sites unlike the foreign betting sites that are using Asian total. I prefer to use crypto for betting instead. I do not bet on Asian total because it is confusing me.

When you mean by foreign site I wonder. This is because those gambling platforms you refer to as foreign are simply local sites to other persons. Let me be honest even local gambling platforms from your region possibly have these odds. I saw it in Sportybet and I skipped the odd though it was tempting and was looking similar to the over 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and above.

The blue numbers on the right side should be the decimal odds while the numbers on the left are the total number of goals.

Betting on over 2.25 goals means you'll be betting on both over 2 and 2.5 so if the match ends with two goals you still get half of your bet back because your bet was split in two (2 and 2.5).

The same applies for under 2.75 goals, you win your bet completely if it ends with two goals, and you only lose half if it goes to three.
This is a well-explained response thank you. It seems similar to a 2x combo. This means instead of just betting on over 2.5 and the game ends up in 2 goals you won't lose your bet. Hold, I still get confused in a way. Imagine you picked these odds in 3 different matches. How would the booker split the wins in half? That is what I don't really understand.

Florian Wirtz operation is really on!  Wink

There are four teams said to be after him already according to BILD: Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Arsenal.

https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/bayer-04-leverkusen/florian-wirtz-diese-klubs-haben-chancen-auf-einen-transfer-66fc03903fca14794a659a31

Bayern Munich and Arsenal are really covetous.  Grin  One of them has Musiala and the other one has Odegaard playing in Wirtz's position. If they sign another super talent like Wirtz it would be harder to make them satisfied at the same time. Oh, I was nearly forgetting about Real Madrid having Bellingham too. The same situation is available for them as well.

But I would understand if he goes to Manchester City. De Bruyne is old and injured now. We don't know when he will return and he is probable to leave next summer.

I made quick research on Florian Wirtz and watched some vides on YouTube based on his level pf performance and i must say he is a remarkable player. That is the reason why big clubs and thriving clubs are going for him. It will be hard decision for Florain Wirtz to make a choice because Manchester City and Real Madrid are current Champions in their individual leagues. Arsenal is currently the best performing team in the EPL right now. Bayern Muich as well has good players are doing well in their league. But who wouldn't want to choose Real Madrid if giving opportunities like this. However, Folrian Wirtz has to understand that his chances at Real Madrid is limited and at Arsenal he would have more chance because Arteta needs a better substitute for Odegard when he is absent. Someone who can make something out of nothing. At Manchester City he is going to seat on the bench for a longer time knowing full well that Pep Guardiola will not keep De Bryne on the bench and let him play. Thats just it. So, he has more chances of going to Arsenal or Mancehster City but likly Arsenal will be the best fit.
9  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Being hesitant could make or break you. on: October 03, 2024, 01:47:36 PM
Being hesitant is like two sides of a coin, sometimes waiting can save you from a lot of losses and sometimes it can make you bet on the wrong sets. I remember when I tried out avaitor games, after losing the first round I staked on I decided to give wait for a little bit before playing again, it was really surprising that the two rounds I didn't play ended up flying to a very high value. After those rounds I decided to start again to see if I would get lucky but the plane flew away at 1.01. being hesitant can make you lose opportunities but you don't have to regret or feel bad about it cause these are not things that are predictable.
What is the point of risk when we try to be perfect? If being hesitant can make us win, then we should probably feel free to be hesitant in some situations. I know there are times when we ought to think carefully and not be in a rush, yet it's not a guarantee that if we take it easy and not be in a rush we will still win. What I have come to understand over the few years of my gambling experience is that. If we think taking proper analyzing and a long period to figure out which game should be included in our bet or which casino game to play and how to go about it would make us win, then we are mistaken. What will be will be. I know several times i have taken my time to place some bet even in crash game but still end up losing.
10  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season on: October 03, 2024, 01:30:14 PM
Liverpool have been performing in one of the best ways this season, as Mohamed Salah has made his team quite experienced. And his technique and style of play is different, he worked hard in this match and scored a goal in the last minute to succeed Mohamed Salah.

The players of the Bologna team worked hard but the squad was made up of very weak players in their attack department, due to which they could not succeed in this match with 12 attacks but the opposite team Liverpool managed to succeed with only 9 attacks and managed to score two goals. Good luck to the Liverpool team as they have collected three points in this match and are at number five in the points table, and they are the most advanced in the points table due to the high number of goals.
Even though Liverpool have changed coaches this season, we don't feel any significant difference in Liverpool's performance at all. They are still the same strong team as when coached by Kloop. I am truly amazed by what Arne Slot is doing at Liverpool. He managed to maintain the good performance that Kloop had built in the Liverpool squad. And Arne Slot even made Liverpool even better. And with two consecutive wins in the UCL, I think this season Liverpool will be one of the strong challengers who will go far in the UCL. I hope to see Liverpool reach the higher stages.

In the match against Bologna, Liverpool actually wasn't that striking. Because actually Bologna also played just as well. It's just that the difference is in the quality of players the two teams have. Liverpool's attack line and defense line are much more reliable than Bologna. Mohamed Salah is still productive and even looks better at the moment. And in the next match in the UCL, I think Liverpool will still be able to win.
I can agree with this part because the same layers that were playing when Klopp was managing Liverpool are probably the same player who is actively performing so well this season and bringing the team to this height. I don't want to completely give credit to Arne Slot on the team performance yesterday. The level of confidence Klopp built in the player before he left is what Arne Slot is enjoying freely today. I want to see something else; I want Liverpool to win the league then I can give credit to Arne Slot that it was his expertise that made them win. Without so I still respect what Klopp did to Liverpool and won't forget that.

You can't say Bologna didn't defend properly and Liverpool did not strike well. I watched the game and i saw how hard Bologna made it for Liverpool to score.

There is saying that unless God watched over a city the watch men watched in vain. In my understanding is that we have to put every effort to make sure our keys are fully secured by adhering to the guidelines of security. And from time to time, we should keep checking where we store our keys to find out if everything is okay with it whether it is a hardware device or in written papers. Anyhow we do it, we put in our best and let God do the rest for us. Sometimes there are things we can't stop from happening but praying to God for full control over it can change a lot.

Natural disaster fears no man. When it comes it will wipe anything that comes into its path. And that is why everything that was meant to be safe before was lost on one day or a few weeks.
12  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 03, 2024, 12:49:50 PM
I don't think there is a connection between network fees and accumulation of Bitcoin so network fee shouldn't be a problem that would hold you back from investing on Bitcoin because there is no fee associated during your Bitcoin accumulation.
I don't agree with you here. Why would you say transaction fees do not have anything to do with accumulation, transaction fees of course affect accumulation, especially when the mempool is congested it becomes difficult for those who DCA in particular to go about it easily. The fees become high and can't be used by everyone. Imagine spending $100 as a transaction fee when your weekly DCA amount is $150 or below $100. Although there is an alternative but is not safe that way. Which is for an investor to buy Bitcoin and leave it in a non-custodial wallet. Which we know is very risky and not a safe way for our investment. Every time you want to move your Bitcoin from a non-custodial wallet to a custodial wallet there must be a fee associated to it.

This is the link to my thread which discussion regarding transactions being a problem in accumulating Bitcoin through DCA. [High transaction fees affect those who DCA]. You can get a better understanding under the comment section. Let's discuss.

Isn't that part of the reason that we spend times in forums like this to learn those kinds of ideas?  Also we might have to spend time with our own papers and planning - whether we plan using papers or if we have computers and cell phones to help us to plan... We still might want to project out our income and expenses, and I frequently llke to do that for several months into the future, and the more complicated your income, expenses and/or investments, then the more you might be advantaged by projecting your income and expenses out into the future, such as using Excel and projecting out 2 years. .Of course, each of the closer months are going to be more important and more specific since those expenses have to be covered in a short period of time, as compared with the income and expenses further out is going to tend to be more general, and the further out time periods might have to be based on pure estimations if you do not have much if any job security.  Surely there is value in having job security, yet surely there is variation in job security too.. so a person might get a job that is fairly secure for 3-6 months, but there might not be a lot of assurance regarding what the income might be after those 3-6 months, so there may need to be some estimation regarding what they next jobs might be, and so I am not suggesting that everyone is in a similar situation, and surely guys have to try to adapt to their situation, and if they know that they have issues with lack of confidence in their income then they might need to try to figure out if there might be ways that they can improve the assuredness of their income.
Yes, it is the reason why we have such a discussion in this thread so that everyone can be able to bypass things when it becomes a problem in their investment. It doesn't matter what tool we are using to make our planning whether digital or on plane sheet. What is more important is that we have a certain target that we ought to meet while accumulating. If our present job becomes shaky then it is in our position to start looking for another time instead of waiting till we quit or stop the job. Expenses never end and sometimes some expenses come that we don't plan for and when it does, we have to be ready. There is not excused to stop accumulating Bitcoin. If we have skills, then we should reach out to more audiences to patronize us.

I got so much interested in the strategy that you plan 3-6 months ahead of the future. That is brilliant i am adopting it.
13  Economy / Economics / Re: SALARY IS NOT ENOUGH on: October 02, 2024, 11:45:48 PM
Low salary is not enough, but high enough salary would be enough, that would be the good thing, we should be trying to get higher salary jobs so that we would live a better life. Yes, it is true that minimum wage doesn't support anything anymore, I have seen a house where six friends live together all on minimum wage, it was a youtube video, and they talked about how they fixed their financial issues by getting together, and they were saving more than ever, like it was a good living condition.

But in reality, living six people together, when you are not even family, is not ideal and people shouldn't be forced into such conditions to have better financial life. I believe that the way out would be making good money which I am trying to do, I am not making a ton of money by any means, but I make enough that I am comfortable, yes I have debts and I have troubles and I am trying to climb back up from all these but at least I do not make very little, so I can survive with this salary for now.
A low salary is not enough but a high salary is also not enough. What we need is to have several income streams. Depending on what salary won't help us to be wealthy. And the reason is that our responsibilities tend to increase as we grow in life. We will have needs and want to increase every day and by day. And even if our salary increases our expenses or necessities will be greater than salary. Now one thing I know full well about salary is that it doesn't increase especially. If one is working in an industry where the salary does not increase exponentially then it will be a big problem with time. As inflation occurs, we don't need to rely on salaries but rather on possible income. These possible incomes might come from our investments, business or skill. But its better than we are in the supply chain so that if inflation keep increasing we will increase our prices too.
14  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: October 02, 2024, 10:54:57 PM
Living on a single source of income is not bad, but not totally valid, it also depends on how much income the person gets by the end of the month or week, if the income is very high enough to sustain every vital needs and still to invest then nothing much to worry about. But, owning a second part of earning is also a good move for anyone who would love to control more funds.
Relying on one income is not a safe idea. No matter the amount that the source is able to make for us in a month or year, it is better to have another source because nothing lasts forever and not just last alone. From time to time there is competition from others, and there will be advancement and development in all niches, businesses, or industries. If that source gets closed or is experiencing difficulty, then that is when our other business or work will help us maintain balance until we are back in track.

Don't forget responsibilities increases with time. You might be single today and in the next few years you might be married with kids and still have extended families to watch out for some time. Imagine investing $200 of Bitcoin and expenses cost you $300 when you are single at a monthly income of $600. And you choose not to diversify or extend your source of income. When you get a family or a bigger responsibility your expensive might increase to $400 to $500 and now you will only have about $100 or less to investing Bitcoin. his is why diversification and sorting for other source  for more income is necessary.

Income and discretionary income are not the same thing, even though you might be describing something similar, but the concept of discretionary income is the amount of money that you have left after you account for your expenses.  It is more accurate to say that we are ONLY investing from our discretionary income rather than just presuming that two people with the same income are the same or presuming that merely if someone makes more money or less money that he is able to invest in bitcoin or not.  Sometimes people have discretionary expenses too, so if they cut some of their discretionary expenses, then they end up having greater discretionary income (more money available to buy bitcoin).  Of course a person who chooses to spend 100% of his discretionary income on buying bitcoin is likely going to end up getting himself into trouble due to miscalculation of his expenses or even sometimes realizing that he needs or wants thing, so sometimes even within discretionary income there could be things that a guy wants to be able to buy from time to time or to prepare for some extra discretionary expenses through the month like going out to eat, drink or go to a movie. and so if he has spent all of his discretionary income on bitcoin, he might create some worse existence and stress for himself and perhaps even get into a position that he ends up having to draw from his bitcoin because he did not lessen his level of BTC buying aggressiveness.
Income and discretionary income can be very confusing to most people, especially to those who don't have a fixed salary coming at the end of the month. The concern is that if a person gets a monthly salary, it is easy to identify a discretionary income after removing the rest money for expenses in that month. But imagine a case where one has a skill and gets paid based on when he finishes his job, or the task given to him. This means at most it is difficult to completely manage and know what the overall income and the discretionary income are. Since his money can come anytime within the months and part by part based on the jobs and offers, he has that month. Such a person may find it hard to know the right percentage to use for the purchase of Bitcoin.

I see people in those positions when they calculate how much they made that month. For instance, it could be $2000 and what is left as discretionary income is $200. This is a huge issue for new or old investors. It is impulsive spending and improper records. For those persons who fall under this category, the need for becoming better should be put in place. Cutting down unnecessary spending and staying on a schedule will tend to harness the difficulties. I was concerned to talk about it because I have been in that position before and out of it, but many are still finding it hard to identify or differentiate possible income from discretionary income.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is there any gambling site that allow or sponsor junior MMA bets? on: October 02, 2024, 10:15:52 PM
I hope there are no gambling sites allow betting on junior MMA fights in any region because that can give a bad impact to children. They are still children, under 18 and MMA fights is something that a pro do. Even if that children already gets teaching from his masters, he still child that can lose his chance to grow up because they are getting injured in that match. That can impact to their mental and behavior while they grow up and there will be a passion to do something that may harm other people because they feels they are stronger than others. They have skills to paralyze people and maybe that can make them become arrogant and can not appreciate others while they can also harm others.
The world is crazy you know. When you think you've seen it all and then you just find out that people tend to do things that are crazier than what you've seen before. Children should not be allowed to participate in anything gambling at a very tender age unless they are up to the age to make that decision for themselves. As long as they are still below the age of accountability then their parent has every right to make good decisions for them. There is nothing like passion in that kind of sport. Children are meant to do sports that are fun, playful and educative. Not one that is destructive and can give them injuries.

I don't like the idea either. It spoils the whole reason why an investor would come to the exchange. In my own opinion, I think it is another way for them to take money from investors or users for their platform. Because gambling can be very tempting and imagine an investor or trader making a profit today, he might desire to make a profit in gambling not knowing he is being pushed to lose his money.

Trading and gambling all in one place. If I am a user of OKX ill quickly leave the exchange. The idea will surely attract more scammers and online thieves to attack the exchange.

I don't know what to say about tonight's game because it was not what I expected. Bayern lost to Aston Villa at Villa Park. Although Bayern Munich has been overrated, I don't expect them to win the game. My anger is on Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid. How difficult it was for them to score in the game. Lille had made it tough for Madrid today. Sincerely speaking this Champions League format will not favor some clubs 😂.

I can see the reaction and disappointed in Bayern Munich and Real Madrid fans today.

Some incredible results tonight, certainly unpredictable for me. I did not see a possibility that both Bayern and Real would lose, this new format is crazy.

Relatively comfortable win for my boys Liverpool but we gave Bologna a few chances, must improve but I will take the win.

Too many people mind blown with the outcome of the game between Aston Villa and Bayern Munich. Well, I'm not, not even in the slightest way because I have seen something like this happen two seasons ago when Unai Emery managed Villarreal. We shouldn't forget he dealt with Bayern Munich and also knocked them out of the Champions League Competition. The game today was more tactically approached as Unai Emery showcased his brilliance over Vincent Kompany. Up next would be the game against Manchester United for Unai Emery. Liverpool are really thriving with Arne Slot, they're having the second Champions League Competition win this season. Props to them.
I was carried away while watching the game. It was a fantastic match to watch. The actions were thrilling and I was impressed with the goal scored by J Durran. Just a three-way tough and it's in the net. From Martinez to the defender and then to Jurran, without any delay, he quickly and accurately smashed the ball into the net.

I never see a competition between ducks but I have seen a cockfighting here which attract many people to join. Although right now cockfighting prohibit, I guess some people still go to a secret place and continue to do that.
The competition using animal is not fair for gamblers because their animal can died against animal. But for organizers, they can get the money and profit but I don't know how the calculations.
Maybe animal competition just existed in some local and not grow in many places because that can related to the regulation from the government. If the government prohibit gambling using animals, people will not try it unless they are often do that in a hidden places.
I don't see any big deal using animals for sports games because if we humans can do sports then they can as well partake in sports activities. The only addition to it is that people do bet on them. But what is the fun of the game if we don't have our favorite side to win and other losing side. That is why it's called sports and gambling is involve in sports so that gamblers will have fun or profit out of it.

Animal competition does exist in a lot of countries. Even those countries that it was bound in, people still practice the gambling and animal sports secretly.

It will not be advisable to make transactions in bitcoin within a country where cryptocurrency transactions are illegal by the law. But Imagine this scenario that someone has been using their bitcoins for transaction secretly successfully, and then one day decides to use the bitcoin that they have to make payment for something like a property to the owner of the property, If there is this kind of problem for instance where the owner of the property decides to claim that they did not receive any money in bitcoin, and the case is taken to a law court, what do you think the outcome of the case will be?
If proofs of payment are provided but in cryptocurrency, do you think the court will consider it even though transactions are tagged illegal with it? or will the case be thrown out and the owner of the property with the false claim of not receiving the money be allowed to go freely?
I don't know people do things these days but i can't pay for a property without a legal binding stating the means of payment, how much to be paid and signature from both parties. When there is a legal binding the need to obey the fact that Bitcoin is not legal for payment will be adhered to. But if they intend on doing it outside of the legal binding then proper video coverage of the transaction should be don't. If the example you gave is a real case scenario the buyer is foolish to have got into an agreement of paying in Bitcoin without any legal binding.

We all know that these days its either people cheating another or fooling the other. Thats why anything we are doing, we should be more careful, taking legal binding and an attorney serious.

It's not Osasuna is strong, but Barcelona play with weaker players.

Torre, Victor, Garcia, Dominguez, Cubarsi, Martin and Pena, they're just a B class players. It's not really surprising to be honest, Barcelona will suffer many lose and draw in the next few upcoming match until Olmo is recovered from the injury.

At least Szczesny will able to play in the next match in Champions League, this should minimize Barcelona to conceded many goals.
I don't think Osasuna played a game that should be underestimated. They played much better in Barcelona. Also, Barcelona players were very high quality. However, of course, some important players were missing due to injuries. First of all, Dani Olmo is one of them. He is a player that Barcelona needs. He played very well in Osasuna. Especially Zaragoza played magnificently. We should congratulate them to the end.
In my opinion, Barcelona suffered a crushing defeat because Hansi Flick rotated players to prepare for the Champions League, but Flick plan did not go smoothly because the players who were given the opportunity to play were in a dark system. Injuries to several key players left Hansi Flick with no other choice, he tried to give opportunities to young players so that the senior players could maintain their fitness ahead of the UCL match. This defeat is very painful for Hansi Flick because he failed to increase his winning record with Barcelona, ​​on the other hand, losing three points at Osasuna's headquarters gives Real Madrid the opportunity to reduce the gap with them.
Yeah, you're right, Barcelona was defeated because of rotation due to changes to their startup lineup, and because of them, there was a lack of chemistry and performance between the players. That also made their defense vulnerable, leading to errors that allowed Osasuna to score. I do not expect Barcelona to convert any of their chances after missing several opportunities.  However, Osasuna made good use of the opportunity if it were some teams they would still mess up their chances of winning the game. They took advantage of Barcelona's lapses and showcased their attacking powers.

It seems that Barcelona is more interested in the UCL matches they have soon. That is why they prefer to lose some points in the La Liga bringing Real Madrid closer to them. Rather than losing their next UCL games which will know if they do, its over.
