With money that we are prepared to lose, we won't be too upset if we lose, but if we win, it will certainly make us happy and we can use the profits from gambling to party with friends. I hope that this year I will always make a lot of profit from my business and I also hope that this year when I gamble, I will always win. However, in gambling, there are always wins and losses, and we must accept it whether we lose or win when gambling. But clearly, we must be able to control ourselves and not overdo it when gambling, unless we have a lot of spare cash. But for some reason, money from gambling always seems to be used for partying. Are you the same? And it always feels like it should be used for extravagant spending if the money comes from gambling.  Smiley

It's very exciting to predict the price of BTC this year. Since BTC has set a new all-time high, I predict that BTC will slowly decline, and I predict that the bearish market has already begun since BTC fell from its highest price. So, in my opinion, BTC will fall to $60k this year, but actually, I hope that BTC will experience a significant increase in price this year, as you said, up to $150k. But honestly, I don't really care where BTC's price goes this year because what I want is to have a lot of idle money to buy BTC because I think this year will be the right time to buy BTC. If BTC rises to $150k this year, I will be happy because I will get a decent profit, but if it drops sharply, that is also a good thing for me because we can buy BTC at a low price and I will hold it for the long term.

Como's goal this season with the points they have now is to secure a ticket to compete in the Champions League next season. This is a possibility for Como as they boast an impressive mix of young and old players which is certainly a magnet for Como's strength this season.
The difference in points with Juventus is not a problem for us because Como still has one match left to play. If they achieve maximum results in that remaining match the gap between them and the Old Lady will close to just two points. That is if the aforementioned outcome occurs.

All teams want to win the Scudetto this season, including Como, but it is not easy for Como to compete with other strong clubs. The most realistic goal for Como is to qualify for the Champions League, I would love to see Como play in the Champions League because it would make next season's Champions League even more exciting. Como, currently in 6th place, faces an uphill battle to climb to 4th place. In my opinion, it won't be easy for Como to finish in 4th place because the teams currently occupying 1st to 4th place have strong squads, and it certainly won't be easy for Como to finish in 4th place at the end of this season. Now, we'll just have to wait and see whether Como can defeat Udinese or not, but it seems likely that Como will win against Udinese and will certainly pose a threat to Juventus. Smiley

Al Nassr usually always wins and never draws, but this time Al Nassr could not defeat Al Ettifaq because the result was a 2-2 draw and it can be seen in the standings that Al Nassr has now drawn once. Actually, Al Nassr played well in yesterday's match, but as usual, Al Nassr's defense was not good, and Al Nassr's forwards were unable to capitalize on the opportunities that arose, which resulted in Al Ettifaq being able to smile because they were able to draw against Al Nassr. In my opinion, if Al Nassr draws again, there is a possibility that Al Nassr's mentality will fall, and Al Hilal has the potential to become the champion. It seems that if Al Nassr doesn't win the championship this season, many Al Nassr fans will be disappointed. Now, Jorge Jesus needs to prepare better tactics for Al Nassr's next match against Al Ahli, which is sure to be an exciting game due to the intense competition expected in that match....

How did you go about it?


I guess my back is against the wall that time, jobless so how I kind proceed with gambling then? So I just completely stop and have to fight it inside. It's very hard because there will be times that I have some money, but then again, with my relationships crumbling and I have a kid that time with you, I just pray that I will survived this ordeal.

That's how I do it, self-awareness and learn how to control and prioritized. Until I got a job but then I don't gamble that much after that bad experience. So now, I still play but unlike before that I will play all the money that I got, from my paycheck and even taking a multiple loans.

Indeed, most people who quit gambling and reduce their gambling start with self-awareness because even if someone advises them, if they still want to gamble, they will not stop. But after reading your post, you said that you are unemployed, which means you cannot gamble, and that reminds me of my past when I still wanted to gamble but felt confused because I had no money to gamble since I was unemployed. People who gamble are mostly those who have money, and those who don't have money definitely can't gamble. I always find it strange that unemployed people like to gamble because where do they get the money from? So, the point is that you haven't stopped gambling, you've just reduced it, and that's the same as me, who always enjoys gambling but only when there's a good opportunity and a good moment. So, in my opinion, we can gamble as long as we follow the rules and don't let gambling ruin our careers.  Smiley

It wasn't long ago that I embarked on a gambling journey and at the same time, I haven't felt in my actions so far that I've ever become addicted to gambling.

I basically always try to gamble with very little funds, and always keep low risk bets. And there are times when I have been able to stay without gambling for months. So I don't think I was addicted. But yes, Ericson, I was into gambling and computer gaming, although that too has now had to be dropped due to work pressure.

I am also somewhat similar to you because I also gamble sometimes, but only with a small amount of money and for fun. In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with gambling as long as it does not interfere with our activities. The problem lies with people who like to gamble but indirectly destroy their future because they are too addicted and even borrow money to gamble. But you are amazing for not gambling for months, and I think that's a good thing because gambling should only be done when we are in a good mood. I couldn't go months without gambling like you; I could only go a week or two at most, and it definitely depends on my finances. You are doing the right thing because you are not too addicted to gambling, and we should not let gambling ruin our future.  Smiley

I am still addicted to gambling, so I don't think I have the right to answer, but I have a friend who used to gamble and now he doesn't gamble anymore, and I want to share my friend's experience of quitting gambling. My friend stopped gambling because he suffered huge losses, to the point that he had to sell his car. He had been gambling for years and always made a profit, but when he wanted to buy a new car, he ended up selling his car because it was a 2007 model. He planned to use the money from selling his car as a deposit on a gambling site, but unfortunately, he always lost when he gambled, and eventually lost all his money. So, the conclusion is that he stopped gambling because he had suffered huge losses and eventually became disillusioned with gambling. In my opinion, those who want to stop gambling must do so of their own volition and awareness. It would be better to focus on work.

As for me, the reason I didn't stop gambling was because I always used money that I was prepared to lose and only did it for entertainment.  Smiley
8  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 31, 2025, 08:09:26 AM
The serie A league is getting new to watch, the competition here is not monotonous and has turned out to be so tight with the increase in quality in each top team of the Serie A league this season, the order of the standings with the difference in points that are not so different makes this league even hotter and who can be at the top of the end of this season, whether it will be won by Inter Milan again this season or we will find a new winner, Milan, Napoli, Roma and Inter are in turmoil at the moment, they are burning the fire of enthusiasm that is churning in self-proving.

If Inter Milan or Napoli wins at the end of this season, it will be quite difficult because it would be very interesting to see new champions such as Roma or AC Milan. Indeed, the competition in Serie A is very exciting because it is different from last season. Now, Inter, Napoli, Roma, and AC Milan are fighting hard to win the Scudetto title. In my opinion, it's very difficult to predict who will win at this point because only 17 and 16 matches have been played by all teams in Serie A, while there are 38 matches in total. If, for example, 30 matches have been played, I think it will be easier for us to predict who will win the Scudetto. However, what's important to me is winning the bet. For now, let's just wait and see what happens. But currently, Inter is the luckiest team because they are in first place. If Inter can continue to play well, they will definitely win the Scudetto this season.  Smiley

I see that there is a significant difference in team quality between the two and it is not a big surprise if Roma manages to win this match easily but I also will not overestimate Roma's performance even though they are able to win this match because in the last 5 matches Roma has only been able to win 2 times which makes them even more behind in the title race so I just hope Roma can use this win to improve the team's mentality and make it better in the future so that they are back in the title race, but I think it is very difficult.

Well, actually, if Roma had continued to win consistently, they definitely wouldn't be trailing like this, but oh well, because everything has already happened and now it's clear that Roma has managed to defeat Genoa and earn 3 points. I also hope that Roma's victory against Genoa can give them the motivation for their next match. But it's true that it won't be easy for Roma to become champions because the teams ranked higher than Roma will definitely play well and won't let other teams overtake them. The next match is against Atalanta. In my opinion, this match is very difficult to predict because in previous encounters, Roma has always lost to Atalanta. Some of my friends are backing Roma, while others are backing Atalanta, so I'm a bit confused about predicting the outcome. I hope you can provide a good solution about who will win...

Whatever anyone says, I am always incredibly optimistic about Bitcoin's adaptation and price in the coming days. At the current price level, there is a possibility of a new ATH early in the new year.

Many people speculate about Bitcoin in 2026, but this is not just speculation, but its price increase through long-term investment is a common phenomenon.

Hopefully, at the beginning of the new year, BTC will make a new all-time high again, and if that happens, I will be very happy. Your explanation makes sense because if many people hold BTC for the long term, the price of BTC could be even higher. However, in my opinion, BTC will see a slight increase at the beginning of 2026, but it won't set a new all-time high because I believe BTC has the potential to rise but won't surpass $100k. I think BTC will continue to decline at the start of 2026 because BTC that has already reached an ATH will inevitably decline, and that is a pattern BTC has always followed. But personally, I think I want to buy a lot of BTC in 2026 because I believe its price in 2026 has the potential to be low. Now I'm curious to see whether my prediction is correct or yours at the beginning of 2026... Wink
11  Economy / Economics / Re: If you don't save,you are not safe on: December 30, 2025, 10:07:21 AM
I am someone who invests, saves, and also spends money. But I don't waste money. However, in my area, there are still many people who waste money and don't have savings, and in the end, they always complain when their money runs out because they spent it on parties. In my opinion, wasting money is not a good thing if we are not yet successful, except for people who are successful and can afford to waste money as long as they do so carefully and their income is already very large.
But it’s true that if we want to be successful, we must be diligent in saving and also invest. In my opinion, investing should be done in various fields such as gold, land, property, and also in BTC.

It seems that many people won their bets on the Roma vs Genoa match, even though the profits weren't that big because the bookies didn't offer big rewards for Roma's victory, but it's better than losing. Roma now has 3 points after defeating Genoa with a score of 3-1, but Roma actually scored 4 goals. Unfortunately, the referee only counted 3 as valid. Roma is now in 4th place, and in my opinion, this is a good position, even if Roma doesn't win the championship this season. Finishing in 4th place is still a good result, considering that last season Roma only finished in 5th place. If Roma finishes in 4th place this season, they will definitely qualify for the Champions League. In their last match, Roma lost to Juventus, but do you think it's fair to say that Roma's performance is improving? Because it's actually normal for Roma to beat Genoa. However, in my opinion, it won't be easy for Roma to win the championship this season because after 17 matches, they have only accumulated 33 points. Meanwhile, teams like Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan have played 16 matches but have more points than Roma. Therefore, I believe it will be difficult for Roma to win the Scudetto this season, although it's not impossible for them to become champions this season.

most people can't really differentiate an investor from a trader and once they just buy they feel they've invested but no, real investors are patient, determined and ready to hold longer despite different challenges in the market so anyone who can't keep up with those should consider themselves traders and not investors.

Actually, I personally don't know clearly what a trader is and what an investor is. But from what I understand, an investor is someone with long-term goals, such as investing in BTC, and they will hold onto it for a very long time, perhaps more than 10 years. What I don't quite understand is, if we hold onto BTC for only 5 years, can we still call ourselves investors or traders, since 5 years is also a fairly long time? Do you know anything about this?

A great BTC investor will definitely hold onto their BTC for the long term and is certainly someone who is always patient and won't panic-sell when the price of BTC drops or when there's negative news. However, it's clear that someone who holds onto BTC for a short period of time is a trader, not an investor.

Inter has now managed to beat Atalanta 1-0. In my opinion, even though Inter only scored one goal in that match, it was still a great achievement for Inter. It's a shame that Atalanta couldn't win the match even though they were playing at home, but that's football. Sometimes, even when playing at home,don't win because the most important thing is having good players. Actually, I was a bit worried when betting on that match because Inter couldn't score in the first half, and I was rooting for Inter to win. Fortunately, Inter scored in the second half, which ultimately led to their victory. Atalanta now has to swallow the bitter pill of being defeated by Inter. Atalanta must work hard again to play better and climb the rankings. Inter is now at the top of the standings, but it’s still not secure because AC Milan, Napoli, and Roma will try to overtake Inter’s position. We’ll see what happens later.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2025/2026 on: December 28, 2025, 01:03:05 PM
Let's just look at the percentages. I think Aston Villa's chances of winning the title are very slim. Although nothing is impossible in football, we also have to be realistic about the possibilities.
Aston Villa has indeed shown good performance so far, but I don't think they're on par with Manchester City and Arsenal in terms of overall player quality and team consistency. Therefore, I still favor Manchester City and Arsenal to compete fiercely and win the title this season.

Aston Villa is indeed performing well at the moment, and it is not wrong to predict that Aston Villa has the potential to win the trophy this season or finish as runners-up at the end of the season. It is possible that Aston Villa could become champions this season because they managed to beat Chelsea in their last match. However, in this case, I also agree with you that Aston Villa is unlikely to become champions because, when comparing Aston Villa's squad with Manchester City's and Arsenal's squads, Manchester City and Arsenal are clearly superior. Therefore, in my opinion, Arsenal and Manchester City will be in first or second place at the end of this season.

But honestly, I'm impressed with Unai Emery, who always comes up with great strategies. Currently, no English Premier League team will underestimate Aston Villa, including Arsenal and Manchester City. Well, we'll just have to wait and see what happens, but for those who enjoy football betting, the most important thing is to always be lucky when placing bets. However, it's clear that Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Aston Villa all have a chance to win the trophy this season, and the strongest team will undoubtedly succeed.

Como is currently ranked 7th, but if Como can qualify for the Champions League or the Europa League, it will be an extraordinary achievement for Como. However, I think it will be difficult for Como to qualify for the Champions League because it is not easy to advance to the Champions League due to the fierce competition. But qualifying for the Europa League is possible if Como can continue to win consistently until the end of the season.

Como defeated Lecce 0-3 and now sits in sixth place in the standings. Como's performance this season has been outstanding, and they have the potential to qualify for the Champions League, especially since they are only three points behind fourth-placed. If Como can qualify for next season's Champions League, it would be historic, and their hopes are high given their consistent form.

Yes, Como has managed to beat Lecce and Paz was the first to score in that match and of course until finally Como was able to score 3 goals and Lecce could not score a single goal against Como. Indeed, if Como can continue to win consistently, Como could advance to the Champions League as long as the other strong teams experience defeat or draw a lot. What I remember is that Como has never participated in the Champions League if only they could get a ticket to the Champions League then it would definitely make Como fans happy. But in my opinion, Como will have the potential to struggle to shift Roma so in my opinion, Como this season seems difficult to get a ticket to the Champions League but if the Europa League I think it certainly has the potential to be obtained this season. But if Como can get a ticket to the Europa League, I think it is a good achievement because as far as I remember, Como has never played in the Europa League. At this time, of course, we will see what happens later.

Sometimes I am also surprised by teams in the relegation zone, as they often manage to avoid conceding many goals, as was the case in last night's match between Liverpool and Wolves. Wolves are a team in the relegation zone, so you would expect them to concede a lot of goals, but they didn't concede many and even managed to score one goal against Liverpool. It seems that many people were lucky in betting on last night's match because many favored Liverpool to win, and I was also lucky because I favored Liverpool to win. Liverpool attacked a lot in last night's match, but unfortunately, they couldn't capitalize on all of their chances, and in the end, Liverpool had to settle for scoring only two goals, with the final score being 2-1 in Liverpool's favor.

But I also feel sorry for Wolves, who must be even more disappointed now since they still haven't managed to win a match this season. The Wolves coach must now really try his best to help the team win and escape the relegation zone. Wolves' next opponent is Manchester United, and I think Manchester United will win. I'm sure many people agree with me, right?  Smiley

Well, anyone can do what they like with their income, but trading is highly risky and should be avoided. Investing in Bitcoin is more better and peaceful compared to trading since Bitcoin investment gives you enough time to focus on other of your activities or business perfectly well without pressure of reading charts always, eyes glued to the screen monitoring market movement and so on


Of course, we are free to do whatever we want with our own money, including trading or investing in BTC for the long term. Trading is indeed much riskier than investing because investing is easier to do—we just buy BTC and hold it for the long term. Trading, on the other hand, requires constant monitoring of the market, which can be exhausting and sometimes interfere with our real-world activities. So, yes, it's true that for convenience, investing in BTC for the long term is the most comfortable option.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about people losing money through trading, but I’ve never heard of anyone losing money through long-term BTC investment. Have you ever heard of someone losing money through long-term BTC investment? This certainly indicates that long-term BTC investment is the best option compared to trading. But of course, everyone has their own rights to choose whatever they want.

Liverpool's performance has been on the rise lately, and they have been winning consistently, such as against Inter, Brighton, and Tottenham. I think the Liverpool players are very motivated to achieve a better ranking at the end of this season. However, we don't know if Liverpool will be able to maintain their winning streak because team performance can fluctuate. Liverpool should easily win their upcoming match against Wolves, as Wolves are currently in the relegation zone and at the bottom of the table. However, I see that Bitz.io is offering huge rewards if we bet on Wolves, but unfortunately, I think I will choose Liverpool to win and I hope my prediction is correct. I'm sure many of you will also predict that Liverpool will win.

But if Wolves lose in the upcoming match, it will surely make Wolves fans sad because Wolves will likely find it difficult to bounce back and escape the relegation zone, although it is not impossible for Wolves to bounce back and improve, ultimately escaping the relegation zone.
The match against Wolves likely won't be a huge burden for Slot's squad, as they clearly have high goals and are playing at Anfield. Liverpool desperately needs all three points to maintain their chances of competing at the top of the table. Wolves have been completely helpless this season, seemingly doomed to relegation due to their minimal points tally, even though the season is almost halfway through. Although Bitz is offering a substantial reward for a Wolves win, it seems highly unlikely.

But if, for example, someone bets on Wolves, they will definitely make a big profit if Wolves wins. However, even though Bitz offers big profits, very few people will bet on Wolves to win. It is better to choose a low-risk bet. But sometimes there is a feeling of anxiety when betting, even though the money my bet is money you are prepared to lose. I hope that in the first minute, Liverpool will score at least 2 goals to make it difficult for Wolves to surpass Liverpool's points. In my opinion, Liverpool has the potential to score more than 2 goals, and I predict the result of the match will be 3-0 for Liverpool's victory.
With Liverpool playing at Anfield, it will certainly make Liverpool more favored to win because usually when playing at home, they always have a stronger mentality and will definitely be more enthusiastic.

Another equally exciting match is Aston Villa vs. Chelsea. This match is certainly not easy to predict because both teams have almost equal abilities. I want to know who you think will win, Chelsea or Aston Villa.?
