Frosinone Calcio 0 - 3 AS Roma

This was a game in which Roma had been seen as favorites to win, in the last 4 games Roma had only lost one game, which was the game against Milan, who are the current leader of the table and with the greatest chance of becoming champions. and roma played very well against inter, they made some mistakes in defense but the roma coach showed that he is very attentive and in this game he changed the goalkeeper and a defender, I think it was a good move because with that he removed the defensive weakness and In this game, Roma did not concede any goals and were very good in attack to the point that they managed to score 3 goals, with this victory Roma are in position 6 and continue to hope to get a place in the European Champions League and I hope that Roma get this job
Roma got another win, big win but I don't see they shown good defense capability in the match against Frosinone. Before the opening goal and minutes after that, Roma let Frosinone made many dangerous attacks and finishes. If Frosinone score an opening goal, I am not sure Roma will have a win in this match.

A win is good for Roma to maintain 4 points gap against Bologna and 5 points less than Atalanta, but to compete with other clubs for getting the fourth position, De Rossi must improve Roma defense. They are playing more attacking and scoring more goals with De Rossi era but to succeed, they must have a stronger defense.

They must aim at having more points than competitors than scoring more goals. Goal difference is only an extra indicator when two clubs have similar total points and Roma temporarily have less points than two clubs above, Bologna and Atalanta. Their first task is equalizing those gaps before thinking of goal differences.

Bayern Munich has had good times this season, but the bad results have not come to an end recently. They do not inspire confidence at all, no matter who the opponent is, Bochum made it 3-1 in one part of the match and no one was surprised by this team Bochum because many people know that the team is in decline. Poor Harry Kane came for the championship, but he scored one goal in this match, but only one goal was not enough.
Bayern Munich has good first half of season but they suddenly get many problems recent matches. With this defeat, Bayern Munich can say goodbye to Bundesliga title with 8 point difference (less) than Leverkusen. If the competitor is unstable with performances like Dortmund in last season, Bayern Munich can still have opportunity but Leverkusen in this season are different than Dortmund. They are playing very impressively stable and possibly will not suicide to give big chance to Bayern Munich.

What happend to Dayot Upamecano because he did the same mistakes just like when Bayern Munich lost from Lazio on Champion league that with his foul into penalty box makes the referee has decide to give the penalty to Bochum so i think he was the cause of the defeat to Bayern Munich today
Upamecano made his name with Leipzig but after the transfer to Bayern Munich, after some seasons, he does not show any more growth. Practically, his performances tend to decrease season by season and he usually makes mistakes not only with Bayern Munich but with his national team France too. He looks to be careless and too slowly with defensive tackles that probably put him at verge of making foul and penalty for opponent.

Quote
after this result the speculation about Tuchel future is appears again but CEO of Bayern Munich Jan-Christian Dreesen has make a statement again that Tuchel still handle this team when Bayern Munich fight against Leipzig this weekend but i think this match could be the last chances for Tuchel because if Bayern Munich lost again then i am sure he would be sacked
Previously I believe Tuchel's position will be decided by a match with Lazio but with this defeat against Bochum, Bayern Munich nearly lose Bundesliga to Leverkusen, I see risk for Tuchel to be sacked even before a second match with Lazio.

Juventus has a terrible run of recent games. While we could have been leaders, even being second became risky. If Milan wins the match, they will rise to second place and overtake Juventus. You are not alone in betting because many people bet on Juventus to win. Many coupons were deposited with this match. Now Inter is on its way to the championship alone.
Juventus self-destroyed their chance to win Scudetto this season with latest terrible matches. Things changed very quickly in latest matches with Juventus and with these bad matches, they are too far from Inter Milan and their chance to win Scudetto now is nearly zero.

They even have to defend their second position with pressure from AC Milan that moves nearer to Juventus with only 2 point less but one more match. If AC Milan win that match, they will take over a second position from Juventus.

I am very disappointed with this result and even from 4 consecutive matches when Juventus failed to win the match I always bet on the Juventus team and now I think it is all over, there is nothing to expect anymore from Juventus.
Inter Milan have raced alone to win the Scudetto this season and it seems like Juventus have given up on competing with them.
From 7 points less to 10 points less and now possibly become 12 points less than Inter Milan, Juventus no longer have chance and confidence that they can beat Inter Milan in this season. Only magic will be able to help Juventus to beat Inter Milan in last 13 matches if the gap between them is 12 points.

Quote
A draw against a bottom team cannot be tolerated and even if they don't win 4 games in a row, they will soon be moved from 2nd place in the standings and now the team's confidence has been destroyed so I think there is no one left in the Juventus team to hope for them to recover.
It is terrible performance from Juventus and like their announcement to give up in Scudetto race. With this bad season, chance for Massimiliano Allegri to save his coach position at the season ending is very small too. He is facing with risk to be sacked by Juventus even before the season ending and I believe it is high chance he will be sacked in the summer.

I agree with you. Barcelona need an  experienced striker now. Barcelona  have quality strikers in their  squad. But they are not experienced  enough. Torres, Raphinha, Felix Roque  and Yamal are all talented. But  no one is experienced enough. Teams can't score goals at the right time, they need more time to develop their skills. And so with these  strikers, Barcelona needs another experienced striker. Who has the ability to score a lot of goals.
Those players in your list are not traditional strikers. They are like wingers or forwards or attacking midfielders than a traditional striker. Barcelona actually played in many seasons without a traditional striker and a previous successful striker is Luiz Suarez but it is many seasons in the past.

They tried to change their tactics from tiki taka to more directly attacking and by that change, they signed with Lewandowski as a free player. Need more strikers to replace or substitute Lewandowski, we will have to wait who will be a next head coach for Barcelona. Xavi will leave and a new head coach might bring new tactical philosophy to Barcelona so he will need a striker or won't need it at all.

Now I observed that Bitcoin is like a gamble of football game whereby you go to the bet shop book your bet and wait for what will come sometimes you win sometimes fear can make you cash out after your cash out you may be lucky and sometimes you might lose something you would have gotten if you had waited.
When people do something without due diligent research, without knowledge and plan, it's gambling. Bitcoin can be consider as gambling for you or anyone who buy Bitcoin with aforementioned 'withouts'.

For other people who actually spent time to learn, digest information and built up their investment plan or trading plan, they are not gambling. They can succeed or fail with their plans but it's not gambling.

So, it depends on when you buy and whether you have enough patience so that you don't panic and sell your assets when you see the price going down just a little bit. It's definitely not like a sports bet where you don't have a choice of holding and stuff and the results are unchangeable.
Consider Bitcoin as an investment asset, let's apply.

"Being greedy when others are fearful and being fearful when others are greedy" as Warren Buffet advised us to do in in traditional investment.

Patience is very important in Bitcoin because if the price drops a little and you lose patience and sell immediately you can lose a large part of the profit. Also the thing is if you feel more weak about trading then just create target from hold. Depending on your personal business plan plan your upside can be loss and profit. So if you are disappointed by the market situation you will be unsuccessful so try to catch the best time.
Patience is necessary for success in investment but it's not enough.

It must come together with knowledge about market cycles from price to psychology. Without it, you can hold your bitcoins for like two years but will exit it before a next halving and next bull run.

The psychology of market cycles

It shows that you don't understand anything about Private key and Bitcoin.

It's your private key, it's your bitcoin.
It's not your private key, it's not your bitcoin.

By whatever chance, if you have a Bitcoin private key, you have access to that wallet address (public address) and if it stores bitcoins (not an empty wallet), you can spend (move) that bitcoin.

Being fearful about tainted coins?

You can use Samourai wallet, mixers and no KYC exchanges.

Lewandowskii really displayed well in this match to help Barcelona to scored the two goals that lead them to victory, because people thought that the match will end up draw 1-1 for the both teams to share the points but Barcelona used extra time to achieved the winning goal.
Barcelona are relying too much on Robert Lewandowski in two latest seasons and they succeeded with the past season but have problems in this season. Robert is old already and even he still plays better than many players at old age like him, he can not carry Barcelona on his shoulders forever. This match ended well for Barcelona with excellent performance of Lewandowski but Barcelona will not have a happy season if they continue this dependence on the striker.

Quote
Celta Vigo plan is to make the match draw which is the reason why they made their defense more stronger for Barcelona strikers after they equalized the goal, but Barcelona strikers keep trying until they succeeded to add one goal to defeated celta Vigo 1-2 to increased their points and position.
As a weaker team, Celta Vigo have to play like this with minimal target as a draw and 1 point from Barcelona. They nearly succeed but failed at the end because of Lewandowski but generally, their plan worked and revealed Barcelona's weakness.

Mistakes can be very valuable lessons, just like me when the shitcoin I had soared, my greedy soul emerged to keep holding it, until finally the coin was delisted and I lost something I should have taken. However, regret is useless because remembering that it will not come back, so I can use this as a lesson so that I don't repeat the stupidity that I have done, and of course greed will never win.
Though People can all make mistakes and they all have chances to correct their mistakes by learning lessons and avoiding to repeat similar mistakes, very few people can learn from experience and change themselves.

The market is very attractive with new trends appear and replace each other with time, so people who failed to learn from past mistakes and losses, will step in similar journey with new trends and lose money again.

Trends can be different but scam types basically are the same with different technical trends.
290  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 17, 2024, 07:22:48 AM
My prediction is that this match is quite difficult to predict because even though the two teams are in quite different positions in the standings, Fulham as the home team has experienced quite a lot of defeats and Aston Villa as the away team is not that superior in away matches, it's just that the visiting team will more likely to score goals because Aston Villa's goal average is better than Fulham
Aston Villa are stronger than Fullham in this season and even they will have to play home-away and don't have too good performances recently, I believe Aston Villa can beat Fullham to break their own bad streak.

Aston Villa are no longer at a second position, their highest ranking in this season so far, and also drop out of top four. They are below Tottenham Hotspur and above Manchester United but they need to improve performances if don't want to drop more points and see Manchester United more nearly.

Fullham with weak attacking system will have less chance to challenge Aston Villa but they have acceptable defense system with 39 conceded goals. You will feel surprised to know Aston Villa have 32 conceded goals. So in this match, Aston Villa must tighten their defense system to block attacks, counter attacks from Fullham and try to score goals and take three points. They actually have one of best attacking systems in Premier League with 50 goals scored so far.

Selling Bitcoin for urgent needs in the past, I think was the right decision if it was used for something useful.  although in the end there was regret when he saw the price of Bitcoin soaring high.  But that's where it's important to be able to manage your finances so you can separate funds for urgent needs and invest them in long-term investments in Bitcoin.

The decisions I made in the past were not a mistake but a study to correct myself if Bitcoin is indeed very valuable as a long-term investment.
We always have urgent needs, emergencies in our life so if we don't have reserved money for such situation, and use all money to buy, invest in Bitcoin, I am quite sure that we will have to sell our bitcoins for urgent needs.

To avoid unwanted Bitcoin sale, we have to reserve part of our money for urgent needs, emergencies. Like 10% of our capital must be reserved for emergencies or bigger like 20% to 30%.

With the rest 70% up to 90% of capital, we can invest in Bitcoin without fear.

It's easy to use cryptocurrency as currency, but how many country is legally accepting Bitcoin as currency? only in El Salvador, the rest country are either grey area or only accept it as commodity, although there are few businesses don't mind to accept Bitcoin as alternative payment.

Bitcoin is just a "currency" similar to fiat, if a poor can earn $100 per month and get paid in fiat, it means there's no change if they get paid in Bitcoin. They still get paid for $100 per month, in a different "form".
You can use Bitcoin everywhere if you have Internet and a device to connect it to Internet and broadcast your Bitcoin transactions.

You don't need Bitcoin to be legal or more as legal tender to use it. Using Bitcoin in nation where Bitcoin is legal or legal tender is safer than in country where Bitcoin is Alegal or Illegal but even so you can use it in those countries with different restriction against Bitcoin.

There are two countries where Bitcoin is legal tender: El Salvador and Central African Republic.

Roma can at least still scores when it was playing away. Feyenoord has equal performance compared to the roma. These clubs are so struggling to beat each other even though there have been many shoots were happening.
They have same quality and the first leg match again proves it. They had a draw and the match is quite balancing between two teams. With this draw at a home-away stadium, AS Roma will have a little bit advantage before hosting Feyenoord at their home stadium Olimpico but this advantage is not too big. I am not surprised if they get another draw at Olimpico and have to play extra halfs or even penalties.

Quote
Roma needs be careful for the second leg. Playing at home gives roma more advantage but i think that we shall never ever underestimate our opponent. I was not betting in this match coz it's hard to bet on it. It was too risky to take caused by feyenoord is as strong as roma.
Roma only needs to beat Feyenoord at home to go next, a draw like 0 - 0 can not help them to go next because there is no longer home-away advantage by new rules from UEFA.

Roma created many opportunities in a first leg match but they only scored one goals from a Lukaku headshot. One shot from Paredes hits the cross bar and they wasted other chances. Feyenoord shown that they are strong and can create dangerous chances and can score goal against Roma. They can even think of beating Roma at Olimpico so I agree with you on this, Roma need to win a next match but they must play very carefully.

They are not actually newbies because newbies don't have enough knowledge about the forum and other things like basics on Bitcoin, altcoins to reply fast.

You are right about this style, replying fast to fish merit and the OP and first posters usually come from same local boards. They like have a phone ring bell to notify each other to join a same topic and try to create fake topics, ask non sense questions like newbies.

This is a tough match for Chelsea, it's not easy to get points at the Etihad stadium, especially when Manchester City performance is on fire. In the last few matches played by Manchester City, they have always achieved maximum results, this time Manchester City will try to widen their list of wins while maintaining the opportunity to displace Liverpool in first place. A stronger defense and a sharper front line will make it easier for Manchester City to add three points. Defending the trophy this season is one of Manchester City's targets, Guardiola will continue to try to bring his team to maintain its level in order to achieve success at the end of the season.
With an easy win against Copenhagen, Manchester City nearly got qualified for Champions League quarter finals. They can return to Premier League with better focus and without much distraction from Champions League. They still need to race against Liverpool and Arsenal for a title in Premier League. Chelsea whenever is always a big team in Premier League. They are in a long lasting crisis since the past season but in their squad, there are star players who can decide result of a big match.

Manchester City are stronger, no doubt, but they must aware danger of Chelsea and be careful for the upcoming match. Chelsea still want to play with best and some of their players are trying to create impression to be chosen for national teams as Euro 2024 will be live in the summer. This match is still a big barrier for Manchester City on their adventure to lift the league trophy.

App store of Play Store likely take down the fake apps soon after it's being reported but I just want to laugh at the face of people who claim Apple's ecosystem is highly secured and so they are paying double or triple the times than it's cost.
It's bad policy to approve application listing quickly and let people exposed to fake apps, then waiting for reports from community before taking down fake apps.

Meanwhile, there are victims of fake applications who will lose money to those fake apps.

A better policy is more strictly with approval procedure and minimize fake apps as lowest as possible. It will help users to have less exposure to fake apps but users on their sides must know where to get download links and simple steps to verify what are possibly fake apps (low download numbers, bad reviews, etc.)

For Bayern Munich, do you wanna blame what? Take that dig directly to the manager, he should know what's wrong and be able to fix that, ok knew and predicted they're no longer favorites for this Champions League Competition this exact season.
Thomas Tuchel has to show working, believe me, all he's done in the Bundesliga will definitely reflect on the Champions League Competition.

Seven shots yet no target? This is serious!
Bayern Munich created many opportunities and they had some good attacking combinations. What they lack of is only accurate shots in the match. If they can convert one of those chances to a goal, they would have gotten a draw in the first leg. They did not have a good match but with opportunities they created, they can win the second match at home with a condition, making more accurate shots.

Lazio will play more defensive in Munich because it's a home-away match and it's also because they already got an advantage from the first-leg match. Bayern Munich will pay expensive cost if they continue to waste opportunities.

I remember a few years ago when we were waiting for Manchester United to see them at the top of the table and win the premier league title but it seems this team is very far from good and they are losing points even after all the changes Ten Hag made in this team. I think one big reason for Manchester United's bad results in this season so far was their goalkeeper Onana and they are definitely losing many games because of him. Maybe they had to move back and hire De Gea again to have a better situation.
They have never played well enough to get a position and high chance to win Premier League like Arsenal in Premier League 2022 - 2023 (the last season). They ended as a runner-up with Mourinho but very far below Manchester City.

This season looks not too good for them because they have no chance to win Premier League and even a chance to participate in top four, is still small. They are under Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur with big point differences. The season has 14 matches left for each club but with 5 points less than Aston Villa, 6 points less than Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United have many things to do to beat two competitors and get a fourth position.

Premier League table.

They do not like the fact that big block chains (BSV, BCH) have miniscule hashrate compared to BTC, which makes them prone to 51% attacks:

They already have what they want (big blocks in forked/worthless chains), but not in their preferred chain (BTC). Wink
They cloned Bitcoin and call their coins as Bitcoin forks. Claim that their coins are better than Bitcoin but their blockchains have 51% attacks, Bitcoin blockchain did not have such attack so far.

Also there are estimates on cost of attacks on blockchains.
