Gamblers have all sorts of superstitions. And worse they refuse to agree that it is a superstition when it is pointed out to them or even change it. They are the incorrigible sets of persons on the planet. Show them a glaring evidence or try to persuade them to change their view point and they'll immediately pick an offense.

Telling someone what you staked and them making the same bet isn't going to change the outcome. It is just like me betting that we'd there is going to be a storm and someone else placed the same bet as I did on the weather. This isn't going to change the outcome of what the weather would be...that it why it is a prediction.

I have never seen a football player fall so slow yet so fast as Paul Pogba. This is just bad luck for him.

He had the potential to be one of the best in the ranks of Messi, Neymar, Mbappe but has just had a very stagnant football career. As fan, I watched him shine on the pitch but now he is a shadow of himself.

Injuries, poor form, disciplinary actions, and now this - doping scandal? This is the end of the line for him in football. He should retire honorably and pick another career.

Your statement that poor gamblers are seen as irresponsible gamblers is not entirely true. By the way, what is your definition of a poor gambler?
Those who gamble irresponsibly are from all walks of life and are in all strata of the economic ladder.

A typical example of an irresponsible gambler is Drake. He's rich, a successful musical artist but we can all agree that he gambles irresponsibly. Never have we heard that he loaned money to satisfy his gambling urge but we have seen go on a betting spree despite losing a lot of money. I consider it irresponsible gambling.

A gambler behavior that I don't like is the one who is loquacious and the other on that is extremely withdrawn. These two behaviors are either a manifestation of depression and anxiety. I don't like.

A loquacious gambler at the poker table would cal bluffs so much and annoy everyone on the table. Nobody wants to play with this type of gambler because they'll distract and interrupt your train of thoughts while the game is on. The one who is extremely withdrawn is most likely to rationalize chasing after losses. They internalized their losses, and conclude that the best way for them to be happy would be to bet again. These behavior would make them fall into problem gambling.

Your nephew's mom should be able to have an opened and honest conversation with her son. It should be a heart to heart conversation where the son his sincere about his gambling and the mother is opened about her expectations from him.

Sons always loves and listens to their mother. This is the time for her to be very involved. If she is able to create a space where he can freely talk about anything with her then she has nothing to worry about because right there she has proven to him that he can turn to her for support in case he begins to struggle with gambling.

From Mbappe's response first his mind is made up. He will not extend his contract and he will leave PSG. I think that he has fallen out of love with the club. Maybe if Messi and Neymar were still in the team, that would have served as some persuasion for him to extend his contract but with the look of things he is going to leave.

Real Madrid will eventually get him. Are prepared and ready to receive him whenever he wants of course within the time stipulated for it.

That's right. The odds is fair but we must take caution. Almost the same odds they had in their last Match against Lazio.
I do not think that it will be an easy game for Napoli, even though they will try to bounce back from their defeat, their opponents will take the motivation for them to play their best in their match. Afterall, if Lazio can beat Napoli, they can.
Despite the odds, this match would end in a draw. This is my prediction.

I have considered this but when I think about it critical what comes to mind is that these local merchants have to find  a way to get themselves online. The advantage here is that they will eventually be able to service more people outside of their locality which would increase their revenue streams for them to be able to stay in business.

What we should know is that the world we are living in has made many people lazy. They'll prefer to stay indoors and order everything online. It's not intentional that they don't want to buy from the local shop it's just what technology has turned it out to be.

You are correct that there are no fixed rules for success and that one must be creative and love what they do but may I remind you that there are business and wealth principles that must be followed for success and wealth creation? Yes, there are...just as there are principles engineers must follow to build an airplane that will fly in the air and crash upon flight or ship to sail without sinking, so it is with wealth creation.

Like you said, there are no fixed rules but there are classic wealth rules that must obeyed. Some of which I highlighted in the post already.

I use both strategies. There's no rule in the community that say you cannot use the both of them. It is a matter of convenience.

I dollar cost average monthly and have been doing this and tracking it in an excel spreadsheet since the beginning of 2022.

I also invest lump sums  when I offer some services and the client pays in bitcoin. It is not regular.

The goal is not to make profit but to stack as much as possible until I reach my goal and also for the halving happening next year.

He should give up and admit "defeat". Regret is a difficult thing to live with, but he should just accept that he made a mistake, and nobody is above mistake. If he needs therapy to deal with then he should see a licensed therapist to help me through the process.  But making bitcoin look bad is something that the community will not accept at all.

It is even possible that if he had put in this much effort that he had put in in looking for the drive, into accumulating bitcoin through other means he probably would have gotten the 8k bitcoin. He must deal with himself and not with the local council.

Agriculture. That's where I am risking the money I should invest in Bitcoin. Having a balanced portfolio matters more to me than anything else and I stick to it very well

Bitcoin cannot and shouldn't be the only investment that will earn me money there should be others. The famous saying that do not put all your eggs in one basket is more than just a saying but a business principle that should be applied also in investment.

For most centralized exchanges, KYC is mandatory for several reasons ranging from keeping the customer from engaging in fraudulent activities with their accounts to ensuring customers credibility. However my qualms with these Centralized exchanges is that they are honest with the customers. Being that our personal information which we submitted to them are not well secured. They may even go as far as selling off these data to a third party for profit.  Our KYC documents is not as private as they have us think it is. And fruads are still being committed.

I am thinking about teaching my nephews about wealth in a fun way through the game of Monopoly. I haven't gotten any better way to teach them about money and wealth aside this. I think so because of the lessons embedded in the game which includes,

(a) to build wealth, you need to own assets an not liabilities

(b) to build wealth,never put all your eggs in one basket. Always diversify your investment portfolio.

(c) to build wealth, you must  have proper and strong financial management strategies. Anyone who wants to be wealthy must learn how to manage their money, make the right investment and be able to pay off their debts.

(d) to build wealth you should be able to think strategically. Having a long term thinking in mind will enable you to make better decisions.

(f) to build wealth, you must have a well thought out risk management strategy in place.

(g) to build wealth, you cannot overlook the role that patience plays. Wealthy people are very patient people. They know when to make a move and when to hold on. They they understand that true wealth isn't built overnight but through years of hardwork.

These are some of the financial and wealth lessons that I think that my nephews can learn from playing the game of Monopoly. I am opened to your recommendations for other types of games that can be a great alternative or addition to this game as a fun way to teach kids about wealth.

Appreciate the effort you have poured into compiling these terms but not to sound discouraging , what I have noticed is that we pick up these terms on the go and not all at once before trading. It during the process of trading and researching that we pick them up.

Despite this, knowing what a trading strategy is and having one is best for every trader. In addition, knowing what fundamental or technical analysis is and how to apply them to make a trading decision is encouraged. Knowledge of the what trading platform to use is is also key to the path to profit for everyone trading.

Self trade is better than AI trade. Just as formula 1 race care driver wouldn't want to let To drive for him or her , I think that so it is with trading. I am not saying that there have not been any wins made by trading bots. I acknowledge that but I am saying is that do not give 100% control to some trading bots.

If I ever want to use trading bots, it will be because I want to test its efficiency on the trading platform. Apart from this , my thoughts is to self trader 99% of the time.
