Bayern doesn't really care about the league anymore, that's really a boring situation, third place would have been quite bad, but they are not doing that anymore so all they care about this UCL, and to be fair, there is a very strong possibility that if they win this game, they are going to win the title, and while that would be bad to miss out on Bundesliga title winner streak and lose to Leverkusen there, it would end the season on a great note.

Tuchel is known to do that, on a horrible Chelsea season, he managed to beat City and win the UCL title before, so Tuchel could do the same with Bayern as well, feels like not all that complicated. I believe that we are going to see Bayern fight really hard, will not be easy game for Real Madrid at all.

Yes, Tuchel is targeting his team to win the Champions League trophy, so he has really let Bayer Munich's reputation get worse in the Bundesliga this season. Of course he really wants to repeat the success he had at Chelsea at that time. Even though they were only able to score a draw in the first leg, Bavarian's opportunity is still open even though it is very difficult to get it at the Santiago Bernabeu. But the clash between two elite European teams will still be interesting and most people will still bet on Real Madrid.
Tuchel and his men needs to prove to the world that they are capable of winning the champions league this season only if they can win Real Madrid in the second leg. It will be a difficult task for Bayern, if only they can win Madrid, it is possible for them to win the league.

Real Madrid will always remain on their own target which is to win this competition, and they will be playing at home which is a good advantage for them. However, I never expected Bayern to perform as brilliant as they did in the first leg at home, if they can keep up to that performance, it might be difficult for Real Madrid to win them.

This is another way that these wicked leaders wants to deprive young and brilliant teenagers from gaining admission at an early age. What vomego understand about education is that, it does not depend on age but how sharp are you to magnet things fast that you are learning.

I must say that this is another way to frustrate the poor and the average who will depend in Nigeria for schooling, so that they will not be able to become young graduates, and also so that this young graduates will not come up to challenge them by tomorrow. They put the law but their children is exempted, because they will send them to study abroad.

Monza - Lazio ended with the score of 2-2 I thought this match would have ended with the victory of Lazio, a victory would have reopened the hopes of qualifying for the Champions League and could have threatened Roma and Bologna, but in the 93rd minute Monza extinguished the hopes with a goal by Djuric. For Monza a golden point but one that serves little purpose, they are now safe from relegation and cannot aspire to a place in Europe.
Monza tried their best to make sure thy they share points with Lazio, on the dying minutes of the match, Monza was able to equalize the goal to end the match 2-2.

Lazio have been deprived the opportunity of taken over the 6th position from Atalanta who still have two outstanding matches to play. A great display by the host and their visitors on the pitch, and i was able to win my bet with this match.

Everyone is allowed to own a gun but you must ha e a license from the government to make it legal, and that is where the problems lies. If everyone should own a gun, it will become a street war and crime rate will be very high. However, if as guns are not legalized, guns cannot be taken out from the streets because corrupt leaders will always put them in the streets.

If you have a license gun then it becomes for self defense, and not for illegal activities. There are some people that the moment they lay their hands on guns, they get possessed by the gun, and do all sort of evil with it.

Real Madrid vs Cádiz two teams are going to fish for today's match in the Spanish League. Real Madrid team is now leading by 1 goal. Cádiz team has not scored any goal yet. Cádiz team has no chance to win this match. Cádiz team is 18 in the points table.  The number is in the position for which the Cádiz team has no chance to win. The Real Madrid team is in the 1st position in the points table. The player of the Real Madrid team B. Díaz scored 1 goal in 51 minutes.
What a beautiful football work from Real Madrid players that was started by Modric to Diaz, and finally finished by Bellingham to find the back of the net. Bellingham came from the bench, and was able to score the second goal for his team. Real Madrid seems to be enjoying the second half, as it was in the second half that they were able to score two goals.

Cadiz was able to hold down Real Madrid in the first half but they became loose in the second half, which gave Brahim the chance of finding the back of the net with a clean finish. While Bellingham scored on the 68th minutes. Real Madrid will never get tired of winning as that is their hobby.

R. Madrid 2-0 Cadiz

After a highly contested game, the Arsenal team managed to score a goal, and this goal was a hard-earned success.  Today's game in particular was full of competitive moments and massive attacks. Saka is a hardworking player who is ready to score the only goal by his performance. However, in today's match, Arsenal team is very strong, but in terms of attack, Arsenal team is much ahead. Bournemouth are trying hard but this game will prove how well any team performs, but I'd bet Arsenal to win.

It was quite difficult for Arsenal to penetrate their opponent's defense because Bournemouth played a bus parking strategy. Luckily, Arsenal got a very good chance in the 41st minute, when the referee gave them a penalty due to Travers' foul on Kai Havertz (I think this decision was quite controversial). This 1-0 lead will clearly give Arsenal an advantage in the second half because it is likely that Bournemouth will make a change in strategy to catch up with Arsenal. If Bournemouth plays attacking football it will give Arsenal a lot of space to build attacks, so Arsenal will have many opportunities to score goals again.

 It was actually quite easy to penetrate the defense of Bournemouth but their keeper, Mark Tarvers was just their savior. Arsenal were the epitome of calm and confident in the game, literally making the opponents run back to defend their lines. The more Bournemouth defends, the more Arsenal will have opportunity to get more goals and I'm not surprised they are more defensive than anything because that's how they play when they meet the Gunners.
 I hope to see more goals from Arteta's boys because in this period, relaxing with one goal is not enough and can prove deadly if the opposition equalizes and I see Bournemouth as the type to do such.
The second half is ongoing, and Arsenal is still in full control of the match, but at the same time their visitors is struggling to see how they can equalize the goal. Arsenal are too confident in this match and they are playing the match with ease because they have seen it that they will win Bournemouth.

Bournemouth needs more energy in order for them to be able to withstand and overpower Arsenal defense and find the back of the net. Bournemouth are using the left wing to penetrate their host defense but the ball is always blocked.
7  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do casinos require users to verify their identity through a KYC policy? on: May 04, 2024, 12:04:06 PM
I think it all boils down to the aspect of cheating, as it avoids abuse of casino account.

Government regulations is also another problem that made these casinos to make KYC compulsory. This is because the government needs the identity of everyone using their casino in record for easy tracking down of users. If they don't accept to that, the government will not give them license to operate legally. I could remember initially when these online casino started, most of them were KYC free but as time goes by they started asking for KYC.

How do you want your mom and dad to understand all these wall of text that you wrote. It will be boring to them and that alone can discourage anyone from listening to you the second time. You must not convince or force anyone to buy bitcoin, so that you will not be held responsible for their actions, when the price of bitcoin goes south or if anything happen to their bitcoin investment.

Just tell whoever that you want to introduce to bitcoin, the basic concept of bitcoin that it is worth investing in bitcoin as an investment for a long time or to use it as their savings because it is an hedge against inflation, instead of keeping their savings in banks that will depreciate overtime. They should also use the amount of money that they can afford to lose. Whoever is interested will make research and come back to you showing interest, then you can throw more light on bitcoin the second time.

This season is for Bayern Leverkusen, and they are halfway to qualifying for the Europa League finals this season.
Looks like they are maybe making the dream come true for getting the triple this season.
The german league title is safe , only the DFB Cup and the Europa League is very close.

After their success in the Bundesliga and winning the trophy for the first time in history, it has become very more obvious that they will win the Europa League trophy this season  and also the DFB cup will be theirs because their opponent in the final will not give them a tough time winning the title. I was more concerned for them about the Europa League title but after their win over Roma in the first leg of the semifinals, I now have more confidence in them in making it to the finals. Irrespective of the team that will make it to the finals in the other side (either Marseille or Atalanta), they can beat them to win the Europa League title. A treble this season is very much possible this season.
Seriously you now think big for Bayern Leverkusen. Of course, i have the same faith in the team. This is because they have shown true success in the Bundesliga and the opponent they have faced during these periods, most of them are way stronger than the ones they are expecting to face in the Europa league. Although one cannot conclude what the outcome would be in the final, but Bayern Leverkusen has proven to most gamblers that they can bank on them to win and even if they do not win at least they would draw. Losing is not in their dictionary.
An outstanding season for Leverkusen as no one expected to see such fantastic performance from them to the extend that they want to end the season with an unbeaten record which is the most amazing of all. It has shown that this season will be a remarkable one for Leverkusen as they are winning the league for the first time, along side with other competition.

Xabi Alonso have done something great for Leverkusen as the first coach to win the title for them because his name will e in their history book. A brilliant team he has built to survive all kind of challenges they face on the pitch without fear before overcoming it. I respect his coaching skills and ability. I have confidence in them that they win win Europa League easily.

Only 10% of traders make profit from trading, the rest always run at loss in the market. This is because trading is so complex and plays with our emotions. To be a professional trader is not easy but to be a long term hodler is easy as long as you don't over invest in bitcoin but use only your discretionary income to invest in bitcoin.

Hodlers are making profits with ease because their bitcoin portfolio generates profits for them overtime. Unlike traders that will pass through stress and emotions and might still run at loss. Trading is risky and can lead to great loss, but hodli is easy and limits losses, since the price of bitcoin increases overtime.

Why you can be surprised? Harry Kane already left Tottenham, while he's the player who carried Tottenham to stay at top 4 ranks, since he's gone, Tottenham is no longer a great team. We need to wait Son Heung Min leave Tottenham too, probably Tottenham will become Crystal Palace i.e. a team that won't be relegated and can't able to qualify for at least Europa Conference.

Last year Tottenham took 8th place (despite the fact that only Haaland was able to overtake Kane in the list of scorers) and this year Tottenham are confidently in 5th place and they had a good chance of getting into the Champions League for example if Arsenal/Liverpool /Brighton /City would be more successful in European competition. Tottenham coped well with Kane's departure, but now it is clear that they have no strength left for the end of the season, but this does not negate their overall progress.
One thing that I have noticed in football is that when there is a big player with big name, it will become impossible for a player that is not as good as him to shine in the club. This is because all focus will be on the big player, and it would be as if the big player is the only one who can survive the club, and when he is gone from the club, we will feel nothing such club will be able to do, and this is where we get it wrong.

The moment that big player leaves the club, there will be another player that is in the club that will have the opportunity to shine, and showcase his talent that has been hidden because a big player was out shining him. This is what happened, assuming Kane didn't leave Tottenham, no one will see that Son has a good potential in the team. This also happened to Benzema, when Ronaldo left, he exploded. This was the same with Wayne Rooney, when Ronaldo left.

I believe say every investor wey invest in bitcoin get the purpose a d reason why them dey invest in bitcoin, and na that go determine when the person go like to sell him coins. Some buy bitcoin to trade and some buy to hodli for some duration of time. However the best time to always cash out or sell your bitcoin na for the bull run. You need to get price target wey be say if bitcoin reach that price you sell. If you dey sell, no sell allof your investment but keep some wey you go still dey hodli for future because to get bitcoin na blessing.

When your selling time don reach, make you sell in different price interval, for example you won sell $2000 worth of bitcoin, you fit sell am $500 for different price level. Like if bitcoin reach 90k,you sell 500usd worth, if he reach 95k, you sell another 500usd worth just like that. So selling time dey the investor hand because na your money.

You fit still read this thread to get braid knowledge on how to withdraw your bitcoin if you don reach your bitcoin target by JJG. Ideas of sustainable withdrawal

It still amazes me how Juventus losts completely from the scudetto title race this season. The Old Lady's are no longer competitive to grab significant winnings in matches and led them to record inconsistent performance and it'd really terrible. Juventus will stand up again but we're yet to speculate the time for them since they're having a rough time this season. Massimiliano Allegri is doing his best to revived the club back to winning ways, it's hard but it ought to be accomplished.
It's painful to watch this legendary club struggle when they were crushing it not long ago. They started with promise, but that intensity fizzled out, and now the inconsistency is killing them. This isn't just a slump, this is systemic, and it goes beyond physical performance - the mental game seems off. You can feel the weight of expectation from those Milan rivals bearing down on them

 I get Allegri's a legend, but is his style working anymore? It feels too safe, too predictable in a league that's getting more dynamic all the time. Juventus needs to get out of its own head, find that edge again. I'm not saying they need to blow the whole thing up, but some serious rethinking needs to happen – at the tactical level, and maybe even with the coaching staff. Tough calls, but staying the same course? That's how you end up mid-table, and no one wants to see that
Actually, I thought that we will see a strong competition between Inter and Juventus in the title race just as Arsenal and Manchester City are struggling now. I was surprised to see how Juventus gave up the competition, and not that they could no longer win matches that were are supposed to win on a good day.

It makes me to wonder what killed the real a d passion that they had in running for the title race initially. There was no serious injury on players that I would have used as an excuse for them. I think maybe a new coach can be a solution to their current challenges, in order for the club to be in a good form.

Xavi must be very dissappointed at Barcelona this season for going empty handed.He took them to a Lalliga tittle last season,hoping to defend and retain the tittle this season,but Madrid was more powerful than they could ever immagine.At first,it was Girona who was showing extraordinary strength,and everyone believed they could win the trophy,but along the way,they got tired,fatigue came in, injuries came in,and they dropped form.But atleast,that coach has made a statement to their boards,that if they can give him money to sign players,he can surprise people by winning the league for them because he won most of the big teams this season, except Madrid,who are now the favourite for the tittle.congratulation to Girona and Madrid.

Girona was amongst the teams top rated for the La Liga title but their inability to win Real Madrid made them lost the title hope of the league. But Girona can still do better next season because they still got one of the best players and a good coach to see them through achieving that in the next season. With their performance this season, they’ll be watched by many teams in the La Liga and won’t give them a chance to beat them like they did in most of the matches this season. They will also be playing in the Champions League next season, so I feel they’ll be tougher and more stronger to be easily defeated in the La Liga. Barcelona didn’t have such a very bad season, it was only their high expectations that makes it hard for them to believe that the tried this season.
The most critical thing for Girona will be next year because at the end of this year, teams will come forward and want to transfer many of their players. What they will do in the face of this situation and what strategy they will follow will be the key to next year. Considering that some loan players will return, we will see an end of the year where critical decisions will be made for Girona. I hope they will show us similar excitement next year, but I doubt they will be able to show the same performance if there are transfers and they lose important players.

This will be a big challenge for Girona next season if some players leaves the club. I believe that the coach would put this into consideration and make a good replacement for those players that will be leaving so that Girona can perform like this or better than this since they will be playing in the Champions League next season.

I don't want to underestimate Barcelona in their upcoming game against Girona, because I feel that Barcelona will want to win this match in order for them to be in the second position a d to also show the world that they are still in form no matter what happened to them in UCL semifinals and in El Clasico match. I give them a win.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you won a bet with your last cash? on: May 03, 2024, 02:20:27 PM
Luck is not something that comes all the time and that's what makes it special when it comes to you while you are gambling, some people cheat when they gamble and they said is luck which are all lies but inside them they already know that it want luck but cheating.
However I was lucky to win a bet with my last stake some days ago and I am happy for that, that's why I have to bring it here let's discuss about it, whether you have also win some amount of money with your last stake. I went to a betting shop around my locality then I bet with $10 and lose all of them so I was holding  up to $1 separately for transporting my self back to my residence, but funny how I staked with my transport money and won.
Although, I had more money on  my account that I can use for transporting my self back to my house if incase I lost the physical cash, that was why I wasn't afraid to stake with it.

Then it turns out that this was not your last money. If, in addition to this dollar, you also had money for travel, then that’s a different story.
To answer your question, I will say that I am not a supporter of playing for the last money. I am not a fan of gambling with money that one cannot afford to lose. I believe that you can only spend money that a person will not notice if he loses it. Strictly speaking, no, I have never done this and do not recommend it to anyone. And leave the talk about luck, and about the fact that luck favors the brave, to someone else, nothing good will come of it. This may happen once or twice, but sooner or later you will have to “walk home”
It is key to not participate in that kind of behavior even once, as if you were to gamble all your money away and you were left with no money at all, you may begin to think about using your next paycheck to recover what you have lost and you may lose it all again, beginning a downward spiral from which it may be too difficult to escape, so the best thing you can do is to avoid getting into it to begin with, a relatively easy thing to do if you ask me.
I agree with you, it is not even waiting to get the next paycheck in order for him to chase his losses, but such person can go as far as taking loan or borrow money from his friends or relatives to gamble. This is because he can use his last money to gamble, which means he is not a discipline gambler.

Whoever risks his last money to gamble might become an addict if he is not, because he thinks that gambling is something that can do be anyhow without reservation. What if an emergency comes up after you lost the bet, it means that gambler will go around seeking for favor from people around him, which makes it not a wise decision.

This has been said so many times in this forum, i am not sure if it warrants a new thread on this same matter, but...yeah.
Do not quit your job if you have one until you have become very profitable in bitcoin trading.
Even if you manage to get the knowledge of trading and start making some money from it, it still isn't enough reason for you to quit your job. You cannot be certain of making money continuously from trading, but if you have a job, you can be almost certain you'll get your salary at the end of every month, except you get fired.
It is better to on the payroll of a company, firm or government than just relying solely on yourself. Trading is very risky and one can acquire a big loss from one trade which makes it not secured as a means of earning a living.

Trading should be seen as a side job, and should be done with caution to avoid regretting your actions of trading often, because the market is all about profit and loss.

It is better to invest than trading, because trading is complex and have a lot of risk attached to it unlike investing, that has less stress and tension.

Chelsea is indeed not predictable, I am also among people that did not expect them to win this match because of their last two matches performance, and for the fact that Tottenham’s fighting for Champions League spot and with the way Aston Villa is on form, they need to keep winning in order to reduce the points difference, but they couldn’t use this match they had as outstanding to make it; I don’t think it is too late because Aston Villa can also drop points, and if Tottenham can keep winning their matches, they can make it.
I agree when I say that Chelsea is very difficult to predict at the moment because in every match they have played until now they have been unpredictable in a match.

They always play very well when facing clubs that can be said to be at the same level or even stronger than them, but on the other hand they also sometimes play worse when facing opponents who are much worse than them.
In today's match Chelsea played very well because they managed to withstand the attack that Tottenham carried out in today's match.
Tottenham made a very hard effort, apart from trying to create a rhythm that was in their favor in the second half, they were even braver by playing more aggressively, but indeed Chelsea were quite focused in today's match which made them remain consistent in maintaining the score which made 3 points. for them in today's match.
A lovely day for Chelsea today as they were able to be victorious over their opponent, who put in all effort and pressuring at the same time to see how they can find the back of the net, but Chelsea defenders stood firm, and was unshakable despite all the effort from Tottenham.

I thought that Chelsea was going toose this match because of their inconsistency in their matches, but it turned out the opposite way. All three points for Chelsea cause for celebration.

If Roma can't equalise in the remaining 15 minutes, they won't stand a chance in the return game... Roma's goal is the last event in my multi bet... I don't understand why they are playing so badly today... Only took five shots and conceded two goals... Yes, probably Leverkusen will be the champion...
Roma was depressed by the first goal scored by Wirtz in the first half. I don't know what happened that Roma allowed Leverkusen to take over the midfield which is a problem for them to cope with in the match.

A powerful shot from Andrich gave Leverkusen their second goal on the 73rd minutes. With the current scoreline, it is clear that there is no hope for Roma with the way that they are playing. They are not showing any seriousness of how to cancel one goal, talk more of equalizing the two goals. I must say that I am disappointed in Roma tonight. It 0-2

Bayer Leverkusen have had a good run this season and won some games that people never expected them to win. It will not be surprising if they find a way to not allow Roma end their title run to win the Europa, a second trophy for them this season.
Leverkusen still have some dangerous players of their own, and will not make many mistakes if Roma make defensive errors.

Roma have a good home playing record, and will not be easy for Leverkusen to defeat, and they were also the team that knocked them out of this competition last season. For Roma, it is another chance  to redo what they did last season, for Leverkusen, it is a chance at revenge.


Yeah this match has just started and I can see the sportsbook favoring Leverkusen, I don't deny it if you say that Leverkusen is playing well this season but somehow I'm not sure if AS Roma lost today I mean the worst thing that can happen is a draw, imo. Apart from that, AS Roma will try to take advantage of opportunities when playing at home because of the upcoming second leg match they don't have much chance.
Leverkusen have taken the lead on the 28th minutes with a clean finish by Wirtz, after there was a short back pass by Roma player Rick Carsdorp which was an an error. The goal have motivated the visitors and they have taken over possession, and they are pressuring for a second goal.

On the other hand Roma is getting tensed and they have started losing confidence in themselves unlike before the goal was not scored. I just hope that Roma are not being demoralized by this goal that they have conceded.

Roma 0-1 Leverkusen

Like said by the first poster above, Pi network is a scam and they are deceiving people that it is for real, making those people who are eager to mine new coins submit their data to them in disguise for access to withdraw the coins that have been mined by them. It end up that you cannot withdraw a dime from that network as I don't think that it is for real.

I have some neighbors around that are fed up of Pi network, because one of them told me that he has mined enough, and they tell him that he can use it to pay for goods, but he got angry when he was not given access to use it after several promises from the dev. There is nothing free in free town, so I would advise you not to waste your time on that coin, and look for a reputable coin to buy, and not to mine for free.
