Osimhen's performance is still very good to date because looking at what he did for Napoli, Osimhen is good even now he is still the player who contributed the most goals for Napoli even though it is not as good as in the previous season but he is one of the players who contributed the most to Naples.

On the other hand, I don't really like what Napoli are doing at the moment, as if they blamed the previous draw on Osimhen who missed a penalty in the match against Bologna some time ago, which could make their relationship strained and This can be seen now, because Osimhen is seen reacting to this and I think it is a very natural action.
In early six games he already score four goals which mean things are still good even not like last season, but he can contribute more than this in coming days but Napoli's social media team done something bad which is surely going to hurt them in coming days because this is not acceptable right now while team is struggling, and they are trying their best for having their legacy back under new coach this is nothing new if a player lost penalty because it is part of the game, but they use this video wrongly on wrong time as well.

Currently, they are at the fifth spot with next match is against Lecce which is having sixth spot, but their home form is impressive in this season with they never won against Napoli which is also interesting hopefully Napoli will be able to keep thing at high note for the gaining their lost confidence and top rank as well.

Some people claim or are still claiming that they are gambling for fun, but up until now, I have never believed much about it. It may be the truth, but many people who say so are just saying it because they don't want to receive negative comments from other people who are not gambling, like telling them they are wasting their money.
 
To be honest with myself, I don't gamble for fun; I gamble to make money, despite the fact that I know it is a chance to be lucky. The only thing is that I am limited in the amount I can stake in a bet and also not hunting for a huge amount of money. Again, I don't take gambling as a full-time activity where I can make money; I only have other sources of income, which is why I am not desperate to make much money from gambling.
 
As for those people saying that they are gambling for entertainment, that is fine, but I will also advise you that if you are not making money from it, I will advise you to quit because continuing with that can later make you addicted, and if you are addicted to gambling, I can't say you are doing that for entertainment any more.
I agree with that, a lot of people gamble to earn money but they say that they are gambling for fun and I don't really understand why they do this, maybe the reason you've given is why they do it. However, I believe someone who gambles for fun or someone who gambles for money but has a limit for their time and money are both on the safe side since they won't be spending a lot of money and won't be chasing their losses and causing themselves more losses in the process.

However, there are actually people who gamble for fun, I'm one of them. I don't spend a lot of money on gambling, I make very small deposits when I got some free time and play some slots. I enjoy it when I hit a multiplier, of course, but I don't feel bad if I lose the money since it was meant for that.

The link doesn't work anymore, the tweet has either been removed or the privacy has been changed to private. However, from what I see in the pictures, I'm pretty sure that these kids have been taught by their parents about how they can open their wallets and scan a QR code to make a payment with Bitcoin. I'm not sure if they are actually teaching them everything about it but things like these are normal nowadays since digital payments are done everywhere.

And kids these days are extremely smart, they will learn something you tell them just once or twice, especially if it is something digital and has to be done using a mobile or a laptop or another digital device with a graphical user interface, and it's not really difficult to log in to a wallet and scan a QR code.

Arsenal first match was went smoothly that they get the winning result by huge scores against PSV and this is good start for them because PSV is one of strong contender in group B but Arsenal can beat them and for upcoming match Arsenal will playing away at Lens home ground and from this match too i am confident they will be able to beat Lens and basically Arsenal has into easy group because from the quality of squad Arsenal above to Lens, Sevilla or PSV so their chances to qualified to round of 16 is quite high

However Arsenal last appearance in this competitions was 2016 at that time they can able to finish in the first place on group stage but at round of 16 Arsenal was humiliated by Bayern Munich and indeed based on their history Arsenal was never gets champion league trophy so that's why they will be ruled out to considers as strong contender in this competition and this season too people more likely will seeing Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Manchester City as strong contender than Arsenal
Arsenal currently having one of the best squad in this group with most chances they will go through as leaders of this group as they destroy the PSV things are looking Lens which is already in relegation zone of French Ligue 1 will not have any reply for their aggressive approach which will give good support to Arsenal and all opponents are not near their quality which is big advantage but how things will be in next round it's not easy because they have good quality, but experience is still problem which need time and right now they are having first participation after few years.

Most chances we will have them in last eight which could be real test case with all top quality teams and things never been on same level but still most chances they could be able to have very exciting season in both leagues with their last draw is surely not ideal but still manageable for them and Arteta.

Bologna away games are usually difficult and Napoli managed to get a point in this difficult away game. Of course, 3 points are very important. They must be very upset not to have won the 3 points. Osimhen fell far below expectations this season. I expected him to play better. This year has been average for Napoli.
It's true, away games at Bologna are always challenging and getting a point is still a significant achievement. Securing three points would certainly be better, however, this result gives the team the opportunity to continue to improve its performance. Regarding Osimhen, sometimes the players experience times below expectations. Hopefully he can find his rhythm and best form as the season progresses. I agree that every season has its challenges and peaks. Napoli have the potential to compete in various competitions, and hopefully they can continue to improve their performance to achieve the best results. 
Bologna has never been easy place but with this all now we have to accept things are not going good at Napoli as well because they are suddenly down and out of the competition with having just 2 points from three games which is surely problem and now in next few days they are going to face troubling time as well even next game is much easier for them at home against relegation zone Udinese after this having opponent high-flying Lecce which is having perfect record at home and third in league table which mean things could be not easy for them if they want to stay at the top they have to give their best otherwise they can feel heat in this season.

Victor Osimhen one of the best but still not giving his best in this season which is also miserable there is no doubt about their quality, but their strategy is surely needing some changes if they want to defend their title with better way.
926  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is life on: September 26, 2023, 09:49:44 AM
I don't really see a lot of people comparing gambling with Bitcoin because they are totally different things, Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency, or maybe a payment method as well and gambling is an action, a hobby, something that people do either to have some fun or to try their luck and possibly win some money. Other than the fact that Bitcoin can be used for gambling since most cryptocurrency gambling platforms accept it, there is no correlation between Bitcoin and gambling.

You can say that gambling can be bad if someone doesn't know how to manage their activities or their money in a good manner. Someone who is responsible and knows how to manage their time and money when gambling, it isn't really bad for them since they will only have some fun gambling.
927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 25, 2023, 06:53:59 PM
I would guess that trying a new striker this way is not the way most big clubs go these days. They hire a new young star and loan him out for a year or two and then get him back when he does better or they need him, not put him at the bench and just give him time when he is needed because that rarely works. I feel like that is still not impossible to handle but that is not really the way to go in most cases as well.

I would highly suggest trying something better, like the loan example, or you could find him another position, or just sell him to a club with a bigger pay cut on the next sale type of deal, those are all smart decisions one way or another. No matter what is done, I dislike putting players with potential on the bench.
928  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How can third-world countries counter inflation using bitcoin? on: September 25, 2023, 01:28:10 PM
First of all, inflation and currency devaluation are two different things. Inflation is when the prices of goods and services go up significantly, and currency devaluation is when a country's currency starts losing value, I know that these two are directly proportional to each other but they are different things, and what you have explained in your post isn't about countering inflation but it's about finding a way to stay safe from currency devaluation through Bitcoin.

Even in third-world countries, the biggest victims of inflation are the poor population of those countries, and by poor I mean those who don't have access to electronic devices or internet connections, who barely eat a meal twice a day, and who barely make it through if the inflation goes higher than their capacity to survive, and Bitcoin can't really do anything for them since you need resources to be able to make use of Bitcoin and other helpful technologies.

Welcome to Bitcointalk.

I visited your casino and looked at the list on the homepage. But I'm wondering why the site doesn't load completely and when I want to view one of the reviews, the page doesn't open. Has anyone experienced this? Or my internet connection is experiencing problems.

But I wouldn't be surprised if I found Lucky Block number one on your site because maybe your assessment of the casino is better than other casinos, even the casino on Bitcointalk. I rarely find casinos with a 10 rating like on your site but that's up to you because you are the one giving the rating.
When I tried accessing the review site, the page loads perfectly so maybe the problem is on your side, and by the way are you using a mobile phone? Because I'm using a laptop and the reviews are only found at the bottom or when I scroll down the page. When I tried clicking the links above, it only redirects me to the casino.

There is a LuckyBlock casino there and it isn't rank as first but it was only second from Megadice although both of them got a 10 star rating. It's my first time seeing those casinos even in a crypto casino review site but like you I'm also not surprised anymore on why they end up with such rating. That is because they are probably sponsored.
930  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Earnings on: September 24, 2023, 04:53:41 PM
First of all, you need to understand that casinos or gambling games are not ways for someone to earn money, if you've been having that mindset so far, you need to get that out of your mind and if you have already decided to stay away from them, that's a very good decision. If you've been using money on gambling and losing it all, you should start accumulating that money from now on and buy some Bitcoins with it every month and keep that for future.

You should start reading and learning about Bitcoin from every single source you can find after searching "What is Bitcoin?" on Google. Just remember that Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies are not a get-rich-quick scheme so that you don't get scammed by some website promising high returns and taking all you have away.
931  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are You Tax Efficient With Your Gambling Habbits? on: September 24, 2023, 02:46:59 PM
I wouldn't pay taxes on any gambling profits either... who's crazy enough to report himself and pay tax on gain from gambling? After all, it's our money, our risk, so if by any chance we make some profit it should be ours only!

Well, I only visit crypto casinos... so I don't visit local casinos or their online versions. So I am not sure how that works and if there are any taxes on that... And I don't have a wish to find out more about it.
When you say that it's our money and the profit should be ours only, where do you think the money comes from that people use to start businesses or make investments? It's also their own money, but they are bound to pay taxes on their income even if they have used their own money. The government doesn't give people money that they can use to do business and then pay taxes with that money, so it's not really about who the money belongs to.

However, a lot of people don't really declare their gambling winnings so that they can pay their taxes on them unless the authorities find out about their winnings and send them a notice about declaring their winnings and paying the taxes that they owe the state, and this happens only when gambling is legal in your country.
932  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Trust RNGs (Random Number Generators) in Casinos? on: September 24, 2023, 09:32:44 AM
Do we have a choice? I don't think so. That's why, we got to trust them if we want to gamble online. If a game let's you verify your bets using a provably-fair system, that's a different thing, but most slots and providers don't allow that and all you got to do is just trust that they are not scamming you and I'm pretty sure that most users are doing that because these providers and casinos have millions of users and I don't think they would all be sure if the platforms are not scamming them but it is just that they believe they are not being scammed.

Also, we all know that slots have a higher house edge than any other game, and we also tend to lose more money in slots in general unless we get lucky and hit a multiplier that changes the whole thing upside down and even if we were in loss previously, that single spin might get us in profit but that doesn't happen all the time.
933  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: September 24, 2023, 06:04:02 AM
Although there's always a problem in my relationship, but it's not caused by gambling. Problems in relationship is very normal, there's no relationship has no problem.

Just let you know, I'm a quite active gambler and I never have a problem in my relationship because of gambling.

If someone have a problem about gambling, they need to seek a professional help.
I guess it's all about affordability. You probably can afford to gamble after all the expenses and requirements of you and your family in a month and that is the reason why your spouse has no issues with your gambling activities. The same thing wouldn't be said by someone who spends money that they need for something else on their gambling activities and then the only reason why they will have issues in their relationship will be because of their gambling.

It's true that there will always be some issues between a husband and a wife if that is the relation we are talking about, because when you live with someone, you do everything together, there will be arguments and issues arising from time to time, however, they won't last very long if someone wants to resolve them and not break the relationship.

Al-Nassr definitely got a huge win, that three points matters a lot and should be considered a great deal for them. I get that it's not really that much of an amazing situation at the current moment but it is definitely something that is entertaining to see and will be important by the end of the season, you are not just getting 3 points yourself but you are making your biggest rivals lose 3 points as well so it's like 6 points.

Ronaldo played amazingly and his goals were amazing too, everyone online like reddit and twitter and other places are still sharing that first goal where we didn't even see the goal Cheesy. The fact that he scored even at that point with all that much cloud, it's definitely an amazing start to the game.
935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 23, 2023, 03:06:23 PM
Since this match will be held at Manchester City's ground, the team will get a lot of advantage and the performance of Manchester City team is much ahead of the opposition team, so it can be understood that Manchester City is likely to win this match by a big margin.
Nottingham Forest is too weak a team for Manchester City. It looks like Manchester City will win by a large margin at the Etihad Stadium. Two goals occurred within 7 minutes with a very neat goal process. This confirms that Man City will get an easy win at the Etihad Stadium. Foden's goal and Haaland's goal really impressed me. In my opinion, both goals were goals with extraordinary technique.
Manchester City almost added a goal in the 26th minute through Alvarez's kick.
A free kick is awarded to Manchester City now in the arena so close to the goalkeeper's line. Unfortunately, Alvarez didn't manage to do it well.
It's been 43 minutes of the game.
Even in last few matches, they have done good job but still there is no competition between these two teams, and we already have 2 early goals but after conceding two goals now Nottingham is doing good job and their defence is trying to have not good number of goals against them in this match.

Now as we are in half-time of this match, score is still 2 - 0 with 30 minutes good time for the Nottingham as they are able to stop Citizens for having more goals against them specially they are doing good job to stop Haaland from having enough space.

In two other matches, we are having nothing with all four teams are struggling for scoring goals and result is 0 - 0 even Wolves is playing with ten men against Luton.

Gamblers at their teenage, do many mistakes. But it doesn't mean they are bad. Actually sociaty always treated gamblers as suspicious and so was happen with your newbie. She wasn't sure her momey was stolen or not but suspicious mind force her to believe such thing. actually when it comes to gamblers, people are too quick to judge them without trying to reveal the trusth. Let gamblers have some time figure it out. My perception about them is that, your nephew would grow up soon with hard experience and then he'll set his mind to figure out which is good and bad for him. Until that, give him just one advice is to control himself during gambling, only stake what he can afford as he also said already
Not all the gamblers are the teenagers,with my experience most of the population of the gamblers are from the 40+ age category of gamblers.After the stress from their job at the work,the most seeking entertainment will be the gambling.The gambling is like the drug to satisfy at their 40+ ages,So they will gamble with the money from all their expenses.Most of the experienced gamblers will choose the free money after their spending to their food and their family medical expenses.Because the medical expenses is not the permanent one,the medical free months money can be used by the gamblers on gambling.
A person who is working and has a job and is earning an income either on a monthly or weekly basis will actually have a specific percentage of their salary allocated for their gambling activities if they do it for fun or get some entertainment, and they don't really need to wait for a month or a week when they don't have a certain expense and use the money they have saved from that on gambling, for most people, that isn't what they do if they gamble.

Things like that are done by people who don't earn enough to have a separate budget for their gambling activities, so what they do is they keep looking for days or weeks or months when they can save some money and then use that money for gambling but such people don't really do it just for fun.
937  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin dominace on: September 23, 2023, 06:36:23 AM
That's expected, the whole market is anticipating a bull run next year after the halving event, and thus people are starting to accumulate as many Bitcoins as they can when the price is still low, and some might even divert their investments from other assets into Bitcoin because of the potential it has. The market cap dominance of Bitcoin will keep going up until we enter the bull run and then when the price starts crashing, altcoins will also get a fair share.

But, what you are calling a bull run isn't actually a bull run. If the price keeps going up and doesn't drop at all, that will mean that we are in the bull run. However, the current price doesn't really show much signs of that and we are not yet in the bull run, if the price manages to go above the previous resistance at $31k, then we might expect something.

Athens winning that one looks a bit weird among other two. I feel like Brighton played so great so far both last season and also this season as well so people would be expecting them to play a lot better than that. Conceding three goals from Athens seem terrible to be fair and they need to bounce back from this and do a lot better.

There is still time, this is the first game so there is no rush, but if they want to do better, they need to recover from this and do a lot better. That is the only way to get out of this group stage, they do not have too many games, so this was the only one they could have made a mistake, now they have no chances left to make any mistakes and should win all the games they have to win in order to go up.
939  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is your anticipation on bitcoin market capitalization as for 2030 on: September 22, 2023, 01:24:09 PM
I don't wanna jump that fast mate because there are even longer that we need to wait like 2024 halving and the 2028 .
why jump fast in 2030 ? this is not that actually why we have to understand , instead we must develop our trust for the next halving.
why have you asked this? are you planning also to invest for that long term?
Maybe he already has the intention to invest in the long term so he asks for a price prediction which looks like a very far jump without looking at the two clear halving periods that will occur before 2030. But on the one hand I think that for now he is already thinking about predictions for the year 2030, our own brain and mental energy will be drained more because in fact everyone will also take advantage of the halving moment by ignoring things that are not important and still have more time to think about it after the 2024 halving occurs.
If it was me, it wouldn't take long to decide to invest for the long term because after I check the price history of Bitcoin, I'm then convinced that the coin can only become stronger the more the days, weeks, and so on.. have passed. A lot of us aware that the halving can cause for a price to rise and maybe he also know that fact so he just skipped it and his concerns for now are on the unknown dates. It's indeed taxing to think about it.

It's better to just be calm and prepare for what to happen. If the price dips just HODL or buy more and if it pumps then great. You can now decide if you will sell some or sell all, or continue to HODL for an even better return.

1. Useless support. When they provide inaccurate information or can't assist you with anything.
4. Bonuses that I never asked. When I deposit and see a bonus active I need to contact support to cancel it.
5. Technical issues.
These three trigger me the most and I think the majority would agree. Playing on a newly established online gambling casino one of the most essential parts of their business is their gambling platform. Back then there was a site where it has a good interface but very poor execution. There is a button for technical support but always offline or redirecting to another page full of advertisements smh. That's my first one, second is when you are stacking bonuses, not always ut there are times that it is automatically being used, however again you cannot contact technical issues. Whenever there is a problem for your information or updates o the website, it is very difficult to reach them. It's the entertainment that I am for when I do gambling that is why when I bet, I expect the best possible experience.
A good customer support team is an essential part of a gambling platform to gain success in the industry because they can only retain their customers if the customers are satisfied with their services, otherwise, they will simply stop using their platform and go for another one and that is a big loss for the platform. If I'm gambling on a platform and I face a technical issue and when I contact the support, they don't respond or get it solved quickly, I will probably not prefer that platform for gambling next time.

That's why, casinos need to make sure that their customer support is top-notch if they want to stay within the race in this competitive market, because every single gambler likes a platform that has the best customer support and they don't need to way for days or weeks for a simple issue to get resolved.
