461  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Unstable prices of cryptocurrency on: December 17, 2023, 02:47:51 PM
As a beginner, I bought Bitcoins few days ago when the price was $43,943 with the hope that since the price has been increasing rapidly, that it will continue to increase but now that the price is dipping I now found out that the Bitcoins in my wallet is also going down.

So my question is that can't it be possible for someone to buy bitcoins and hodl it at a specific price such that even if the price dips it won't affect the Bitcoins you have hodl in your wallet?

What was the purpose of buying the bitcoin? You didn't know well that it is an asset that goes up and down value? This question is really funny and immature but perhaps you don't know what you did invested on in the first place but let me give you small education about what you bought.

Bitcoin is an asset to many just like many investments like the stocks, securities and bond, the purpose of buying them is because people believe that this assets has an intrisinct value and after some time, they appreciate in value and they can also depreciate depending on the conditions of these assets but often, many people have faith and hope for it to appreciate in value. Bitcoin is just like that but it is too volatile and the way it depreciates is the way it appreciate when the price want to change.

To answer your question, my brieft explanation should have answered your question. If you want the price to be stable and desn't want it to depriciate then you shold anticipate for it to increase as well or perhaps you should have buy stablecoin instead if you don't want to see it depreciate in value.

A few random beginner questions:

- There have been 3 halvings, and in all of them the BTC price was insignificant compared to what it is today. Am I the only one who thinks that it is premature to speak of a pattern when something only happened 3 times before, and in completely different price ranges? Buying 1 BTC was realistic for many people before the first 3 halvings. Now that is no longer the case.

Let me tell you something, I remember back in the days when I was still in college and anytime they gave me an amount money for breakfast, I used to be happy because the amount can get me anything they sell in the school and I will be okay but guess what today, that same amount of money are giving to toddlers for breakfast and they will complain that is too little, it wouldn't do much for them and that is because the purchasing power of Fiat is dying every year. What you bough last 5 years for a $, you can't do that today, that applied to bitcoin, not saying we might not see bitcoin at those price again but with development coming so far in bitcoin, $40k will become a normal for people that have the means to buy and $7k might be a history.

When Bitcoin was traded around $3, many of us here didn't have the means to buy it then, many of use in 2009 would'nt look at bitcoin twice but it is because the nature and profit is appealing that is why they want it and people that have the means and want to buy are going to buy and they will sell when they have a significant profits.


Quote
- Why would people invest loads of money in BTC after the halving and not before?

Bitcoin bull run most of the time is after the halving, they don't want to be stuck when they aren't sure yet. The answer is simple, has believe that Bitcoin price grow in every four year circle and they know that miners wll anticipate for the price increased because they will most likely be operating at lost.

I remember when I was just starting out with crypto, I have no form passing any KYC requirement until I had no choice and I use my older brothers national ID card and it was successful, but fast forward to today I can't do such again because they are all live KYC requirement, where you can't upload any pictured identity, you are only left with using live video by camera to take picture straight away into the exchange.

I want to tell you that AI is now doing the opposite of what we think. I was going through a Tiktok posts about some AI app that can give you voice cover and video of with any type of face you want but the App was a paid version befpore anyone can utilized it. It has a first time free use and the author actually did test this app to give you how to impersonate people and to be honest with you, people are using such bank apps to scam people and byepass some security checks even verify some banks account, now tell me how this cannot be used again to do wrong KYC verification.

Quote
I am in support of avoiding KYC by all means but its a matter of choice, if FTX SBF was running a decentralised exchange where no KYC is needed he can still pull his action on the customers one way or the other, this is the problem I have with Dex and anonymous way of getting crypto, if they decide to go bad they will go down hard on people.

I don't want to say I'm in support of FTX but more than half of crypto investors don't value privacy a bit because look at the number of traders and users on centralized and decentralized exchanges, we more of them on centralized exchanges. So if FTX has been decentralized exchange, it wouldn't have people like that as compare to centralized exchanges despite the not your keys or your coins that is been warned all the time.

If FTX has been a decentralized exchange, SAM FRIED BANKMAN wouldn't have been able to pull that stunt he did because a decentrantilized means the keys to coins belong to the customers and not in the hands of the exchange and according to what happen to FTX exchange, they used customer's fund meant to be held in their hot and cold wallet and that was how they went illiquid after enriching the politicians, his girlfriend and the circle of his friends.

Hello,
The price of a project like Solana was only 0.95 cents at the time of launch, but the price has reached $258.78. Can such projects be found nowadays?

Scammers and propagandists, this is a real question. Please do not advertise coins and tokens here.

Thank you.

How many did you know today that was able to buy Sol at 9 cents, even when it was launch on Binance exchange as IEO, the spot was very limited and the people that later got the opportunity to enter was after the sales. However, there is something you don't know that were hidden about solana.

The coin was first launch as ERC20 token and not until a year later when they went for Mainnet for their own network but even with that, it didn't gain much attention until FTX exchange partnered with the project. They officially made solana as their official blockchain just like the way BNB is default to Binance and FTX been the competitor to Binance, people anticipated FTX to be the next big exchange token, so many venture capitals move in and together manipulated sol price to that level including Sam(EX CEO) and the token boom because they have the liquidity back then to play any project they want.

It was when FTX collapsed the pyramid of Solana collapse together, the price discovery everyone are actually seeing now is just a damage control because the court is has grant the exhchange to sell some of the bags(millions) and prolly, they don't want to sell at loss and I guess, they are pumping Near Protocols, Solana and many others just to get liquidity to sell those millions of tokens at high price in USDT and BTC.

About having similar thing in the future? I'm not sure but I can speak for my self that People has learned their lesson and wouldn't fall for same scam again unless the gullible investors.

Bank of Korea Governor Sees CBDC Introduction as Case for 'Urgency:' Report

Not much to read in the report part from the fact stable coins like USDT, USDC is struggling to keep up their purpose of stable coins now governments may push their CBDC tokens now to the crypto community as an alternative which is good or bad in your opinion?


Stablecoins are never meant for long-term storage if that is the case would you prefer CBDC over USDT or other centralized stablecoins which always struggle to be close to USD's value?

They are just payment bridge and if they will foster adoption in crytpo, they are more than welcome just like the Paypal and the rest, many centralized exchanges today used PayPal and many more for p2p trading and this help to onboard many people to crypto as adoption but replacing USDT and USDC, I'm not sure about that even when stablecoins are centralized with lots of controversies, investors are smart when it comes to decisions making, never trust the government but you know that CBDC might just be one of the ways the government might want to fight people that evade tax.

Stablecoins have audited and are becoming more transparent as of recent and I like how many of them are been probe by the Security Exchange commission over the last few years, they are open and I love that but CBDC will remain private and you will hardly know what is even happening underground. The deppeging of stablecoins particularly USDC and USDT have even reduced since they started the transparency and auditing because people have begin to know what is backing their assets, it wouldn't be much of headache as compare to CBDC.
466  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How exactly do you find new tokens before they blow up. on: December 16, 2023, 02:57:55 PM
This question is to help guide newbies on how to spot new gems themselves.
I believe the best way for people with small liquidity to make good money from the bull market is to invest in small cap projects before they get big.

I’ve always asked gurus( that post is 100X and ask you to join their private telegram) this question but none of them ever give a detailed answer. All they say is DYOR, I mean I’m asking because I want to know how exactly to do my research. Can anyone give a detailed explanation on how to find new projects as they are launching before they gain attention.

Don't blame them for telling you to do your own research, the reason is that nobody want to be responsible for any lost that comes after because telling you what to invest and where to invest might go wrong because nothing in altcoins are promised, they are just full of one time hype that later die across the road after its time and by law, if you are not register as a financial advicers and things go wrong, you can be prosecuted for that and even jail, so you see why you need to do your own research regardless of what they tell you here.

To get into new tokens before they blow is about luck because tokens now rely on hype, the backers and venture capitals and some partnerships before and after listings and this type of projects are difficult to get into in their earlier stage but if you are lucky to get a presale before the public sale, then you might have a some good profits from this but then it depend on how current you are with update on altcoins. I think Icobench used to be a perfect place to get good list of altcoins but it not safe anymore because scammers have spammed the platforms and some them pay the owners to get their tokens listed which are usually not worth it when you invest in them.

IEO  and IDO might be another way to get into tokens early but it has it own risk and limits, not everyone they get selected in the contest especially big places like the Binance and Kucoin, you need to be a whale to have much allocation in the new coins. For the Ido, they were good back in 2021 but now, they are not anymore because of scams and bots activities, you should becareful and do your own research.
467  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Who should own a demo account? on: December 16, 2023, 02:37:16 PM
There is no restriction to who can own a Demo trading account, a new trader or an expert trader. I know many traders may feel like they are now bigger than demo accounts, and only new traders should have demo accounts for demo trades, but I think that to avoid losses still, expert traders should also have demo accounts for trying out new strategies before they try it live. What do you think?

Do you as an experienced trader that has made profit from the market repeatedly, do you still have a demo account for trying out new strategies?

You ought to have been specific about demo account in the first place. Demo basically means "demostration of something" and in trading, it means demostrating your techniques in trading using virtual money i.e money that was never in existence, your gains and losses are just tests and would acrue anything in the end, no deposit is need and you wouldn't be able to make any withdrawals either.

There is a catch about this demo trading of a thing, demo trading specific to crypto are good because they are in real time in relationship to what is happening in the crypto market, the trades are directly link through API so that the behaviours of your trading pairs can behave like normal market, this makes you understand the crypto market and perfected it very much and make you prepare for the real trading. However, you see FX demo trading, kindly avoid them for practice, they will give you false hope and want to make you believe that you are good but deep down, you know nothing, until you try the real trading.

Though, I don't use the demo trading because I see it as a waste of time and lag me behind instead of going straight to the main market but what I did was that I only traded with a little to test my knowledge and understanding of trading.
468  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Does technical analysis work in crypto trading? on: December 16, 2023, 02:12:50 PM
For all my 5 months in trading, I'm learning only technical analysis but now everyone is talking about the concept of "Smart Money". So I think that trading is changing and speculators should stop trading based on technical analysis. Or smart money just a concept that cannot possibly work in the market,

Technical analysis work on any trading instrument but over the years, it has proved to be less active in many ways. The fundamental analysis precede technical analysis in all areas reason is that the market is move by what people see or hear which is the news. Technical analysis involved the used of chart to forcast the future expectation of the market but you don't need that to survive trading alone, you need to be even more of fundamental like 60% and the rest of the technical should take the 40%.

Another reason technical analysis might have not been working for you is that it could be that is because the crypto market is clouded by judgement of institutional investors, and there decisions can void the market irrespective what you think and how you want it to go. For instance, the Bitcoin market has been moving in the lows of $41,800 and $42,500 as we have enter the weekend and the daily candle has turned to high selling pressure as indicated from MACD and by trend, we should slowly apprached a support of $40,000 but you and I know that Bitcoin is going to break $45000 if ETF is approved on monday and it might even go higher to the resistance of $50,000.

What you need to do right now is to mix your strategy with more Fundamental analysis than the technical you are so focus on and this can be achieve through following some real crypto news and some Youtube channels that have quick updates about bitcoin update. You should focus on bitcoin more because everything about bitcoin is surrounded by bitcoin news and information.
469  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can anyone tell me if this scenario is a scam. ASAP My wife has started this on: December 16, 2023, 01:59:48 PM
My wife was contacted from out of the blue. She is a Realtor. The person claims to be shopping for a 4 million dollar house. He later raises the amount to 6 million. My wife learns he earns his living trading bitcoin. He calls himself Mr Li. Over a few months the relationship continues but Mr Li lives in LA. We are in Scottsdale, AZ. He has spken by phone once and shares an email. He only wants to communicate by using snap chat. A month or so ago my wife got into a trade of say $500 and made profit. She did this a few times with Mr Li helping. He tells her the exact time to deposit or whatever they do to transact a deal. Weeks later he tells he she should increase the size of her investment. My wife has a bitcoin account. She tells me the process is to deposit US currency that converts to coin. Then trade. Then convert from coin to US currency. I guess Mr Li co-invests with her. The most recent time the initial investment was valued at $44K.

You guys are very soft and by that, I mean you are too friendly and has given him much space than you shouldn't have in the first place. Do you know one characteristic of a scammer, they are very smart people because they dedicate their life to con people and swindle their hard earned money. What this scammer is trying to do in the first place is building a trust, a relation that will make you and your wife not to have trust issues or suspect him when he later makes a huge demand from you guys that will be a huge blow on your faces.

What he is doing is building a bridge, gain small trust, tell you to do this and that then add some sprinkle salt of profit and give back and then make you guys belive that "Yes, he did traded and return the money on interest". What exactly are guys thinking? You really think there is free money on the internet? Have you asked why didn't Mr Li does that alone so he can has all the profits so we can see his name on Forbe's list.

Quote
Three trades were made on a specific date and time. Mr Li would send screen shots with markups from him as directions of what to do.
It really does not matter how much of these details I remember (I can get them cleaned up later), it's the process I want to validate. Apparently this trade event was so successful that when the money was deposited into the account, it was help by the conversion company under suspicion of fraud because there was nearly $77K profit made above a smaller beginning amount. NEXT- The party holding the funds until verified says that Mr Li and my wife need to deposit another $22,200 into the account to equal 20% of the balance for 3 days, then all money will be restored to the original account for withdrawal. With this, I am telling her no way. Scam alert. So Mr li deposits all but the last $3500 with over $42K of his personal money investment at rsik for loss by today. Original deadline was 6 days ago. Do any of these proceedures make sense? Wife claims all is done by her alone as far as creating proper crypto accounts, Tether accounts. The emails from the holding company are not grammatically correct and without a signature or contact line. Advice to my innocent but well meaning wife would be?.....

This was the part I was telling you, build a strong bond and relationship; you started with $500 with little profits but now, the story changes quickly and as $22,200 but you see that amount that was confisticated? Nothing of such happen, it was a decoy and trap to make you guys pay that money. Oh my God, my skin is irking to this, you guys are having two head for crying out loud to outsmart this con artist. Block the hell out of him and face your family and business.

It seems that Arsenal have to be careful with Brighton, because they just won the Europa League match against Marseille in the Groub phase, even though in the previous match Brighton were held to a draw by Burnley with a score of 1-1, that doesn't mean that Brighton doesn't want to get points in the match against Arsenal. , because last week Arsenal were beaten by Aston Villa and were also held to a draw by PSV in the Champions League, this indicates that Arsenal is not doing well. Most likely, this could affect the stamina of Arsenal's players because Arsenal has a very busy match schedule.

Afraid of what exactly? A goal they luckily scored at 88 minutes, it was a home game for them, I expected them to even have more than that goal and expected Marseille to go hard on them to equalized or had a goal initially but I was disappointed and there incompetent cost me $420 from my bets. It was so painful that all my over 1.5 goals or draw came as predicted but Brighton couldn't lunch more goals as I expected and you think they will eat Arsenal like a raw meat, hell no. We have come far to fall into their pit this time around.

I think Arsenal lost to Aston Villa has made many of you to ridicule the Gunners but Aston Villa are just a stepping stone that tested the waters of Arsenal. Watch out how Arsenal will avenge that into the next team they have match with because that mistake cost our standing in the top 4. Meanwhile, Liverpool are already ahead and running on lowkey, I'm impress by their recent performances but Arsenal will soon come back and take that place but this time stronger.

The end of the month every year is what everybody is waiting for throughout the year, because this is the time you get your Christmas bonus and other bonuses like 13th month pay from other countries, because of the huge money coming in this holiday.

Are you spending more or less on casinos this holiday season?

I have never for once in my life do something serious with bonus from casinos and betting platforms before because when they give it to me, I don't use it, it stays in the vault and will remain unclaimed because the conditions that comes with them will come with regret when you win the games particularly where they used to ask their players to rebet from the win amounts like 3 times before you can withdraw the money. They know you will lose everything in that process.

Quote
Why add more? this is the only time of the year that you have additional funds why not enjoy playing more time with more funds if you get lucky you're holiday season will be merrier and prosperous.

Why spend less? This is the time of the year that there's a lot of spending and you have to buy a lot of gifts for your loved ones so I don't want to spend more on gambling I don't want to face this holiday losing money.

Tell us your opinion.

There are many things to think out of the box than just gambling. It can be fun when you gamble and have quality time but it should be limited to that fun and not money else it wouldn't end well because as they say that there is always a dety December to remember, don't get caught in that fiesta, you will feel the pain by January and you will be left alone if you waste the money on betting.

If there is multiple betting casinos where I can play with my spouse and families, that's what I will love to do, at least we will play against each other and have some nice time and laugh on who lost and celebrate who win, this are the memories we need and not money that may cause issues.Grin

Honestly, I am very sad to learn about this unfortunate incident, this is one of those things that happen in gambling and it just gives gambling a bad name  and make it look like a taboo for anyone to engage in it, why on earth will a full grown man like this take his own life simply because of a loss of $3000, people loss up to $20,000, $50,000 in gamblimg and still move on with their normal lives, if $3000 was too much for him to lose in gambling, why did he stake it?

This is such a bad news, and I hope that we all can learn even more lessons from this, always gamble with not more than you can afford to lose, gambling is risky, to be on the safer side, gambling primary for fun and let the profit be secondary, this is something Ive seen other users say here, and I am still joining them to say same thing.

May his soul find rest.

I hope the soul find rest, this type of death are the painful one that the family will never forget, anytime a close relative or family member want to engage in gambling, even if there is no addiction yet or he has his money to stake and wager, they will be against it and if he want to prove stubborness, they will remind him how their son died miserbly from same gambling he his trying to do. This kind of sad time will forever remain a scar on the family skin because once they mention gambling or sport betting, it will always irk them and would be sad aboyt it.

A great lesson for people that are doing more than their pockets, always going here and there just to stake something because they want to make quick money, this is ow they always end. Under normal circumstances, that amount should have been used to start a business but he risk it and instead of him to swallow the pain, he chosed this path to hurt his life and the family.

He had a very high rating and was in a pretty decent form before he joined Manchester United that same season. It's either PSG of Saudi Arabian League, they would speed up the chase to get him signed. Who doesn't want such a great player in their squad? Really? He should not cost what? Ronaldo moved to Juventus at what age exactly? Harry Kane English International Captain has just joined Bayern Munich at what age please.?

Amongst the four names I saw, Casemiro was amongst them most likely to leave Manchester United when the transfer window begins.
They would also be without a top man like Kylian Mbappe, I agree with you they have plans to sign up younger players for the squad upgrades.

Manchester United will suffer a big loss if Casemiro leave the club, he has done an incredible work for that club because in all his career, he got his first red card in Manchester United trying to protect the club against all odd. In most of the games he was absent, they suffered losses both at home and away and the rest of the defenders are not doing well, they always need him but he got a another red card at the time the club need him the most. I'm sure that he will be rush by Saudi squads anytime he becomes a free agant when the market open and I'm sure Manchester United are going to earned well from this deal.

PSG can't deal with their own failure and now they are suffering from wron decisions they made, it is now they needed a young players to revive the path of the club. Thanks goodness Mbape didn't win the World Cup the second time otherwise they will have presented the club presidence to Mbape out love to make him stay in the club. Indeed a club only value your loyalty when they have something unique that you have, the soonest they don't see that again, they switch immediately.

Unfortunately, Mbappe never realized this and was only tempted by the large amounts of money he could make with PSG. Los Blancos fans are ready to ridicule Mbappe if he meets PSG and that is a moment that will make his mental state even lower. PSG's success was like a miracle that should not have come and I think Milan actually deserved to be in the last 16 because they still put up strong resistance even though they were away from home against Newcastle.

The goal difference is the cause of Milan's failure. If they can win decisively against Newcastle, it is possible that they will qualify, not PSG. It seems that not only Real Madrid will be happy to meet PSG, but other clubs will also definitely support Los Blancos to be able to bring PSG home again because everyone knows that PSG doesn't deserve to be in the champions league by relying only on money but never progressing as a club.

He was influenced by the people around him especially his mum, they thought what PSG brought to the table was way more heavier than Real Madrid, you know when you heard that your son has the supreme power to send out a player, who to start and who t bench and option to change a coach, that got into the head of the agents and his mum and they boycot Los Blancos but the Karma is really affecting him right now. Look at this way, if Messi and Neymar was around to give the club the Champions League they are despirately in need, but they failed, it is only him that can give that to the club, the chances are slim to be honest.

Milan and PSG both win 2 games, draw 2 games and lost 2 games which make them equal but Milan did conceded more goals in the begining, even they win more goals against Newcastle, the deed has been done from the goals they conceded and Newcastle is not even the type of the team they can have much goals from because they even as they worst this season, they are good in performances.

Gambling is just for fun, of course it cannot be used as a main source of income. you still have to work that can generate income regularly that can be said to be the main source of income.
If you are a professional gambler maybe you can, of course if a professional gambler can make regular a profit.

If anyone have a good source of income and they are indeed good in gambling and predictions, I don't see anything bad in it as long it's done responsibly and they don't gambleore than they can afford to lose but for a person that doesn't have a job or another source of income and want to use gambling as an excuse to work, then I see such person as a lazy person and who is not ready to take responsibility of himself.

How do you take care of bills, have you thought how to survive if you have a family, a wife and kids? Have you thought about emergency needs. I'm just thinking how will a gambler who doesn't have a source of income other than gambling foot bills of the wife in hospital or when the kids are sick. It doesn't make any sense because you will not only hungry, you will have nothing on you except if you happen to be among the one percent of lucky people that does win jackpot.

Since Ange Postecoglou took charge at Tottenham, they are having positive change massively. Their Tactical play and team's spirit are not like Tottenham before. This is the biggest factor of their resurrection this season. But this is indeed not enough for them to win the league. Their biggest issue is the quality of squad depth which has been proven poor previously that they collected just 1 win in 5 games after losing their key players due to suspensions and injuries.

Ange change the performance Tottenham to the extent they wanted to make Kane to think he made a bad choice of going to Bayern Munich but their main magic lies in their defensibe midfield. The second their defenders like Van de Ven and Madders their defensive midfielder got an injury, everything turn translucent to Tottenham, that was when they made their first lost against Chelsea and subsequently fall down from the top 4 and now are struggling to go back but if they keep the current performance, they will get their in time but the way others are fighting will only make the chance more difficult to climb.


Quote
I think Aston Villa is quite similar to Tottenham, but they just haven't had badluck of losing key players. It's true that a team's performance over the entire season is a more accurate reflection of their capabilities than a short-term streak. Aston Villa's cleaner record adds to their credibility, and consistency is indeed a key factor to stay competitive at the top. A team like Liverpool who are able to maintain positive results while not playing at their best is a kind of toughest team to compete with. Even in contested matches, demonstrates their resilience and experience at the top level. It's exciting to see whether Tottenham can regain momentum, if Aston Villa can maintain their form, and how Liverpool continues to navigate their journey.

Aston villa have become concrete so hard to break, they didn't allow Manchester City to pass through to meet up with Arsenal and when Arsenal had match with to remain top with them on the table, they didn't let them have it too which have Liverpool and opportunity to become the king king of the Premier league for now and that has also earned them some points to stay close to Arsenal and Liverpool, if they win their next game and others didn't, they will top the table before Manchester City.

I don't think Barcelona can buy Osimhen because they lack funds in the team, but Osimhen will be a good substitute for Lewandowski, but if Barcelona needs to buy Osimhen, I think Barca need to sell some players to get the money and buy Osimhen and I am very sure he will help the club is a very talented player and he will win many trophys for them and he will get reward in the club, Lewandowski is becoming old, and Xavi needs to find some new players to replace him since his performance this season has been really poor, he can't score goals like he did last season, and I don't think he can win any awards because injury has weakened him.

Osimhen isn't going anywhere, he's already a done product of Napoli as they announced he is going to stay with new contract, there is an extension of his stay fill 2026 and he is going to have his salary revise and increased to one the best highest earner since the club has been in existence. I think he deserves it and they took it longer than they should have announced it, it's been more than 6 month since they won the Seria A trophy until now they want to make some adjustments for him, and I think it's because the January transfer period is here and offers will come from other clubs that's why they raised the bar quickly.

Barcelona has good midfielders but they need defenders and strikers xavi needs to sign some new players in this January transfer to help the team better because how they are playing in the league I don't think they can win any trophy this season, Girona has broken Barcelona record this season because whenever they play against Barca they used to be defeated, but they play very good game and break the history I don't believe they will defeat Barcelona like that, Xavi must find a solution because I believe Barcelona cannot compete with others even in the Champions League round of 16.

I don't know why they sold Ansu Fati quickly, I knew they are going to make ammendment to their positiona because look at Lewandowski, he was around for the club this season but Spain doesn't feel his impact like last season. The hype has died off, Barcelona need to make some demands when the January transfer come else the season domestic league will fall out from their hands so fast.

I just felt I should bring this up here maybe it will help someone in managing expectations and the entire gambling process.

From experience, I have realised that many people run into problems when they focused so much on winning a particular bet amd when such bet fails, they easily slide into psychological crisis.  Considering that gambling is a game of probability with the chances of losing higher than that of winning, it is therefore expected we work out ways of approaching it so we can remain profitable.

I think when you have a financial problems or need money, that is not the best time to gamble because you will only be making the wrong choices, you wouldn't make the right choices and the chances of winning will always be low. However, I want you to know something for a fact about gambling, your selection is independent of what you think or conclusion. You can make the right selection but sometimes don't have power over what happened next, the result is conditional to what happen in the field.

One way of approach is to focus on winning certain number of bets in a series of bets. For instance, you can target to win at least 4 bets in a series of 10 bets with the odds being at least 5 odds. This way, you can lose 6 times and win 4 times yet you still remain highly profitable.

This is my approach and through it, I don't get depress over few loses. This method works for me and I feel it will also work for others. Your opinion are highly welcomed.

Nothing is guaranteed in gambling, you can make a single selection of bets and you will get the biggest shock that it wouldn't come home, you will lose that bet faster than when you make 10 selection of games and the problem with smaller odds is that those with smaller amount don't get good return anytime they bet. Imagine you selected a game of PSG Liverpool againt Luton town and you give Liverpool x1 win chance only to be giving 1.21 odd, how do you bet that on $1 supposing you convert that to a local currency. This is the reason why some gamblers like to keep trying multiple odds to win a jackpot one day.

I have seen some facial expression gamblers that I am emotionally touched about and feels they have loosed more than they can handle and feels they deserves an condolence winning. While I empathic with him his amount of lost, I am then to consoling myself that someone on here has lost more than I do.

When you gamble more than you can afford to lose, what did you expect to happen when you lose, there is no way happiness will reside around you when if you lose but when you gamble with a moderate amount that you can confidently overlook, trust me you will feel absolutely nothing if anything should happen or if you loose consecutively.

I have people that have lost the entire amount of money I have bet throughout my adventure in gambling but I think everyone is responsible for their actions, if you can wager half a million I believe you have that power shoulder the loss and if I bet $1 to a game, I believe that's the amount I can afford to lose and I don't have to compare my loss to what others have loss because I believe we haven't win the same amounts.

This is exactly how some gamblers runs out of gambling budgets and goes bankrupt because they fails to figure what their net worth or incomes value is.

They are basically to believe one who lost $20 has lost more to them who looses $10.

If you go bankrupt gambling, you should have yourself to be blame, I don't think I can feel for such person because it's irresponsibly of a gambler to rise from having money to live comfortably to having nothing at the end. It's always on my repeat plan, don't gamble with the amount you can't afford to lose, isn't that difficult, isn't?

The poor results continued, making Ten Hag look even worse.  Lost to the bottom team and failed to qualify for the UCL.  I don't know if he will be sacked, but maybe Ten Hag's suffering will continue. Next week they will play Liverpool. Statistically the game I'm sure Man United will struggle. They will probably lose again. After that there may be a decision from the management regarding Ten Hag.

I don't have anything to sag about Manchester United performance in the Champions League, they are no longer in my book of serious team, because even the bottom team in the table will be going to knockout stage and one will be going to Europa playoff and Manchester United is no where to be found again. Looking at the state of the club, I will say they are nothing but exactly opposite of what Liverpool did last season. They qualified to the Champions League but didn't go far but weren't doing well in the Premier League.

If he has a contract of 3 years with Manchester United board and promised that within these 3 years, he was going to win atleast 1 Premier League cup to the club and at the end, he couldn't meet up with the target, trust me will be sack and replace but now that we are in the mid way, it might not happen now until towards the end of next year. This is nt official, but I'm just saying what mag happen to him if he doesn't get the team to top 4 before the end of the season.
