261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 24, 2023, 07:44:56 AM

I think these results in the group stage are reason enough for Real Sociedad to assume that they have a good chance to progress to the quarterfinals. I am not saying they are the favorite, but I am saying they have a good chance.

I also think that way. Even though PSG is very strong in Ligue 1, competition in the Champions League is of course at a different level. Their defeat against Newcastle in the group stage slightly shows that their performance in the Champions League is not very good. Currently, Real Sociedad may not be like last season where they were quite strong in La Liga and were in fourth place in the final standings. But there are still those who think Real Sociedad has a better chance than PSG in the round of 16.
For some reason, I also had doubts about PSG this season, they don't seem ready and their strength is only strong in Ligue 1, but not in the UCL league. Even though they are trained by a great coach like Enrique and have star players, they have not been able to show their toughness in the UCL. Just look at PSG qualifying for the round of 16 through luck only with a difference in goal difference with AC Milan.

I think Sociedad will win the match, because Real Sociedad's game is so solid in defense, very good at controlling the ball, and killing counter attacks through player Kubo.

Inter Milan have not been able to be stopped so far in their Serie A matches, they are very consistent and their strength is quite strong so I think it is natural with the wins and positive trends that they continue to have so far.

And in my opinion, Roma's victory is not a big surprise because Napoli are really down this season so Roma can take advantage of this to win the match.
As it happened, the amount of drama and cards that were taken out of the referee's pocket indicated that the tension in this game was very high and that was natural because after all, this was a match between two of Serie A's top teams.
Napoli this season has really slumped, I am also not surprised by As Roma's victory and in this match the referee also issued the most cards, including 2 red cards for Napoli.

Napoli's fate this season is not as good as last season, they were knocked out by Frosinone in the Coppa Italia, in Serie A they are very bad because of course with the new coach they have to adapt to get chemistry so it is very difficult if they want to defend the title considering that Inter and Juventus are being consistent. Napoli's only hope is in the UCL, but in the round of 16 they will directly meet Barcelona, so we'll see if there is a miracle or if it gets worse.

We see good performance from Leverkusen during this season but that's not a good reason to say Bayern Munich is not going to win the Bundesliga title anymore, Bayern Munich is a team with experienced and expensive players like Harry Kane in their team, and that usually has many better chance than all other teams in the Bundesliga. I even think Leverkusen will lose their place soon in the table to Bayern Munich.

This season's Bayern Munich will still be strong favorites to win the Bundesliga title this season, especially as the Bayern Munich squad can be said to be better than last season because of the presence of Herry Kane. Harry Kane's arrival at Bayern Munich was also the main reason for being able to win a trophy because at his previous club he had never won a trophy, of course he will work hard to make this happen to perfect his career in the world of football.

However, seeing Leverkusen getting stronger will be an obstacle for Bayern Munich to get the Bundesliga trophy this season. Leverkusen has looked terrible this season, all lines are strong and play hard and full of skill, have the ability to play 90 minutes continuously attacking and running to destroy the opponent's defense even though they have a margin of more than 3 goals. If they can persist with this kind of play until the end of the competition they will win the title but if they are like Dortmun last season where at the end of the league they became inconsistent they will lose their chance to win the Bundesliga title.

I think people who missed the game between Arsenal and Liverpool will feel regret because it was an amazing match with perfect performance from both of the teams. Arsenal and Liverpool both are racing in the top of the Premier League and obviously, after the 1-1 draw between these two teams, other teams like Manchester City will be happy because they can have the chance to decrease the gap to the top of the table.
Even Arteta, the coach of Arsenal said they were happy because this game was one of the most interesting games in the last 20 years of the Premier League.

It was a wonderful performance by both teams and they both showed exemplary qualities of top teams that they are in the premier league now. The fight for the top spot has now become more tougher as no team wants the other to lead them with too many points so that the point gap will be close and the advantage of them both to still win the league title be equal. This is really one of the most interesting match that has already being played this week.
Of course, this is an extraordinary match this week, it could even be said to be the most exciting match during the EPL league. In this match which was very thrilling, especially the last 25 minutes, Arsenal and Liverpool deserve to be one of the candidates this season.

And from this game this season it is clear that the mentality of the Arsenal players is stronger than last season, I personally remain optimistic that Arsenal at the end of the season will win the title they have been dreaming of.

Debt can kill you and debt can also make you a rich entrepreneur. Good debt management needs to be done to prevent harm when the payment deadline is very close. Those who use debt well will buy assets that provide cash income into their personal pockets every month. Good debt usually builds a business, but it is necessary to review the money that the business to be built must be in accordance with the environment and the needs of local residents. Finding a strategic location must be prioritized so that the business runs smoothly.

Agree. Debt can indeed destroy us, but it does not rule out the possibility that with debt we can be successful, it all depends on each of us. And debt should not be something we have to avoid, as long as we are willing to learn and are smart about managing finances, then debt can be a lever for us to be smarter in terms of financing.

Debt is good if we can be active and smart in multiplying our money to get more money from our debt, and on average rich people definitely have debt because most of them are good at multiplying money. However, if you can't manage it well, it would be wise to have cash or not be in debt.

Capital is needed to invest, because if you always hope for free things there will be no investment growth.
Yes that's right. In my opinion, one of the best ways to get 1 btc and 1 eth is to allocate our funds from income to do dca on both coins. because getting these two coins for free seems very difficult nowadays, different from a few years ago, I even read in some people on this forum that there are many ways to get these two coins for free. But not at the moment, currently you can only rely on joining signature campaigns to earn BTC.

Quote
But I tried other ways not to use my salary by doing some bounties and airdrop tasks and lots of giveaways, from there I got money to start investing and trading. Now maybe this method is no longer effective because it gives very small rewards, but some Tesnet incentive airdrops etc. provide big rewards.
This method is also less effective, only relying on incentives from testnet and airdrop. because of the 100 projects we participate in, only 1% are successful, for me this is less effective for our investment growth. The most correct way to get 1 BTC and 1 Eth is with capital, so if we have the intention to invest we have to be smart in looking for additional work so that we can invest funds to buy these two coins using the DCA method.

Honestly, this is the match I am most looking forward to on Matchday this time. Liverpool vs Arsenal is the best match at this moment because they are in first and second place in the standings with only one point difference. There is a lot of pressure weighing on both teams in this match. If Liverpool win then they will return to first place with a difference of 2 points. But if Arsenal win then they will consolidate their position in first place with a difference of 4 points. I think Liverpool are very motivated to win the game because the draw they got in the last game was really bad because they should have won that game.
Of course, the Liverpool vs Arsenal match is the most anticipated match this week. It can be said that this will be a super important match for both teams, where both will be fighting to be at the top of the standings because on the other hand, Aston Villa failed to get three points against Sheffield United. .

In my analysis of this match. If Liverpool falls behind first they will continue to pressure Arsenal until they can make a comeback, and the game will be even more exciting. But if Arsenal is left behind first, there will be a lot of goals (because Arsenal dare to play open). Lately I have seen that Liverpool will have difficulty developing their game if their opponents play defensively, but if their opponents play openly and dare to attack, Liverpool will punish them. That's why yesterday when Liverpool played against Man United it ended in a draw because Man United's game was completely defensive.
269  Economy / Economics / Re: My view of wealth and assets specially now on: December 23, 2023, 09:06:27 AM
If money is not a problem, I will surely invest in precious metals in the form of collectible coins, then real estate and Bitcoin. All of these assets are future proof so it is for me the best choice of investment right now.
For me, money is not a treasure to be kept in a bank, money is a means of payment, a medium of exchange, that is written on every piece of banknote, understand the meaning.

So it's better for us to be smart in using money for saving and investing. If you want to save, it's safe, the value doesn't go down, and liquid (easy to disburse) is gold. But if you want to invest (make a profit/increase in value) there are many choices, such as real estate, or the more modern bitcoin investment. Of course these three assets will strengthen our finances in the future.

I lost my bet on this match. I don't predict the chances of the game being a draw. The odds may not be profitable for betting on Milan. that's because some observers saw that Salernitana would not play surprisingly like that. they even managed to reverse the score. before finally equalizing in the critical minute.
Milan may be lucky, but 1 point is not good for Milan or Salernitana. Moreover, competition at the top of the standings is becoming increasingly distant for Milan, who have been left behind by Juventus and Inter.
Not once or twice has AC Milan disappointed gamblers with the results of their games, AC Milan often makes us lose the most painful bets when losing/drawing against small teams.

That's why when I bet on AC Milan I always think twice, because they are always inconsistent in the game even though they know this win is important to keep the points gap with Juventus and Inter Milan. But they ended up throwing away points with a small team who should have won this game easily.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 23, 2023, 08:34:56 AM
I'm not surprised by Barcelona's recent low performance in La Liga this season, because Barcelona signed up low-ranked players who can not perform well most times. This season, you can not compare Real Madrid players with Barcelona players, the difference is very clear. Barcelona will continue to perform like this unless something is done during the January transfer window.
Barcelona recruits low-ranking players, of course one of the reasons is Barcelona's financial factors which are currently in decline, so we can see that the purchases of Barcelona and Real Madrid players are very different, Barcelona can only rely on players from the academy. . If Barcelona wants change, of course in the January transfer window they will have to bring in new players.

IMO about Barcelona this season. because they don't have a goal-hungry striker like Suarez, no attack creator like Messi, and no great dribbler like Neymar. Now all of Barcelona's wingers, when they get the ball, always pass backwards, the same goes for the midfielders, when there is counter-attack momentum, Gundogan or Pedri always take the ball too long. Even though he had time to look for space, the winger ultimately lost momentum, continuing to be trapped in continuous passing without being able to create many opportunities to score goals.

Slot games must be used as a place to have complete fun and never hope that you will win the match, slot games must be treated like that, because if considered as a place to make a profit, it is like betting on sports or cards.

I agree with you that slots are a game that will definitely make you lose, and it is true that people will lose more in slot games, that is a certain thing, in any casino because the system is the same, so losing is something you have to accept, budgeting Money is of course money that you have to be prepared to lose, and never want it back, because that will only increase your losses.
Of course, all forms of gambling must be used as entertainment and just for fun, but we also have to have the right strategy and analysis. It's true that slots mostly just rely on luck, but for me it's also important that we use strategy in slot games because the slot system usually doesn't give you consecutive wins. That's why every time we win, we have to move to another slot.

Because slots I know it's crazy how quickly your money disappears no matter what game you play unless you hit the jackpot. But if we have a strategy, maybe we can minimize losses. My strategy in slot games is I take a budget. If I lose, I lose. If my budget reaches 3X, I'm done or move to another slot. You can't win all the time but you can increase your chances by using strategy, and that makes your slot games much better and walk away with more money than before.

I think it is very unlikely that Lazio will win against Bayern Munich. Unless Bayern Munich's players make a big mistake, or several players from Bayern Munich's squad are absent from the match due to injury, Lazio is likely to get the points.

Bayern Munich is a very strong team in the Champions League platform. And this season they have built their squad to win the title. Meanwhile, Harry Kane, the most important player in the Munich squad, is in great form. If Kane plays well, beating Lazio will not be a difficult task for Munich. Lazio is actually quite a weak team this season. Lazio's position in Serie A is 11th. The team's defense is also not strong.
Looking at Bayern Munich's toughness this season with the presence of Herry Kane, it seems impossible for Lazio to beat them. We know that this season they are in a bad trend, this can be seen in Serie A, they are below the top 10 in the standings, and so far they have also lost players. their best, Milinkovic-Savic.

Kane's ambition to move to Bayern Munich is to win the Champions League which he has always dreamed of. Harry Kane at Bayern Munich also adapted very quickly and found chemistry easily. So I'm sure Bayern Munich will easily beat Lazio, in fact my prediction is that Bayern Munich will win both legs.

I also don't consider Real Madrid's victory as luck because Real Madrid were still able to control the ball well even though one of their players received a red card. Apart from that, the team that Real Madrid faced was also not a strong enough team even though only one goal was scored in the final minutes of the match. So it wasn't luck but just an effort from the Real Madrid team which really needed a win to return to the top of the La Liga standings.
For me, Real Madrid was able to win against Alaver not just because of luck, it was because Real Madrid is a club that really has a winning mentality. Even though many players are injured, this doesn't make it an excuse not to win. and a coach who doesn't talk much and players who have a winning mentality and great vision, it is only natural that Real Madrid can achieve maximum results in this match.

This victory of course not only moved Real Madrid up to first place in the standings, but this was the last match of the year with a happy ending for Real Madrid. Hopefully in 2024 they can continue to be consistent and win the Laliga and UCL titles.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do not gamble with Loan Money~otherwise you will be in danger like me on: December 22, 2023, 11:20:43 AM
This is not just in gambling but also in investment, we should always remember to only risk what we could afford.
No matter how great we believe that we would gain profit from something, never risk what you could afford or take loans just to have a bigger capital and profit.
Even in business most of the small time business owners take loan to start of,  just imagine if the business didn't work out then they would just be in debt, only few could pull it of and be successful.

Taking out loans for business purposes is quite common and personally, I don’t think it’s that bad. Thinking about it, taking out loans for business purposes is sort of like a gamble cause whatever investments or business the loan is being taken out for could still come out as a loss. But it’s still a whole lot better than taking out loans for literal gambling purposes.
With a business loan, there is a much higher chance of paying back the loan while making bigger and better sales and services in your business.
Loans are not always bad as long as the debt is productive, for example as you say for business. You can research all the average entrepreneurs, they go into debt to do business because the money will be easy to put into the business. But of course, for novice business people who don't have any knowledge about the debt business, this is not justified.

Debt for gambling is stupid in my opinion. There is no reason whatsoever to take out a loan to gamble because it is very risky and because gambling does not necessarily mean you will win. If we win, we can pay off the debt, but if we lose, we lose twice as much. Always bet within your means, don't push it too much.

There is a possibility that Napoli will enter the fourth position in the Italy Serie A table if they can get a draw match from Roma because Bologna's match against Atalanta will be a tough one, and it can end in a draw match or Atalanta wins against Bologna. Napoli can challenge for the Serie A title if they are with Osimhen till the end of the season.
For this season, it looks like Napoli will no longer be a title contender in Serie A, even though they can try to get into the top four zone of the Serie A standings. A distance of one point from Bologna is not difficult for Napoli to surpass if Bologna can lose at home when they face Atalanta, but I don't think Bologna will be that weak when playing at home. Apart from that, Napoli also have to be able to beat Roma at the Stadio Olimpico, Rome, which is also not an easy thing for Napoli.
Yes, exactly. It is difficult to say that Napoli can defend the Serie A title this season considering they started the season badly and now there is a change of coach, of course it is difficult for them to defend the title because they need to adapt again.

However, in my opinion, getting into the top four is still logical, even though Napoli failed to win this week against As Roma, their chances of getting into the top four by the end of the season are still wide open because the league is still long. It's not that I underestimate Bologna, but considering that Bologna is a team with uneven players, they will definitely lose points in the next few matches.

Liverpool against Arsenal is an interesting match that will shape the way the Premiership title will go this season. Checking their H2H record, Arsenal have only won Liverpool once in their last 9 meetings. This makes Liverpool the favorite to win the match but base on present realities, Arsenal have maintained a good performance this season and have a golden opportunity of winning the league. So I see them going all out challenge their closest rivals. Liverpool will however, not give yield easily, Mo Salah will do his best to win a trophy this season because there are indications this may be his last season in Anfield. A lot are unclear about the match and it will really be difficult to predict.

This season's EPL League season is very competitive, the points difference is not too far from the teams in the top four. Man City is a bit inconsistent in some matches, but other teams must remain alert to Man City, because currently many Man City players are injured. The real test is when Man City players are not injured. Liverpool is mighty but doubtful. Arsenal are unpredictable until the season ends.

But in the Liverpool vs Arsenal match, I predict Arsenal will win. because Arsenal will take advantage of Liverpool's unstable (weak) midfield. And Arsenal must strengthen their wing-backs like Ben White. Because Ben White's weakness is when facing small and fast wingers.

Barcelona are winning and look to see out the game, but their overall play has not been convincing at all. Struggling against teams like Almeria who are sitting at the bottom of the table means they will find it very difficult to make it to the quarter finals against Napoli in the champions league.

Remains to be seen if the squad is boosted during the January transfer window.

- Jay -
Barcelona Even though they won, it was still disappointing. The reason is that Xavi has set another record, for the first time in Almeira's history he was able to score two goals when he hosted Barcelona on his own. Inaki Pena also didn't perform well, often conceding goals. Hopefully Stegen will recover soon so he can face Napoli in the UCL of course.

Another interesting fact is that Roberto had three chances to score two goals, one of which hit the goal post, while with Lewy there were five chances but none of them became goals. What's wrong with this person? Barcelona's defense is very weak and Almeria's two goals came from mistakes from Barcelona's own defenders, Xavi must be able to handle small things like these mistakes well in the next matches.

My question now is that is it wise that I showed him the amount of Bitcoins I have accumulated before he developed interest?
No, it was not wise at all. It’s one thing to share how much you earn at your job and it’s another to share your details of your crypto portfolio. Anyone can have a good idea of your job salary if they know your role in the company but what you do with your salary is your personal business. You took a big security risk telling someone (an estranged friend) about your bitcoin hodlings. There are better ways to share your Bitcoin knowledge to others for example Bitcoin price history is a good selling point.
Yes, exactly. To provide knowledge about bitcoin to a friend, you don't need to show your bitcoin balance so that he is interested in bitcoin, because this is very risky for you. After all, bitcoin is personal, so why should we show it to other people, this is not a wise choice of course.

I'm more interested, as you said, when telling or teaching your friends to be interested in bitcoin, it's better to show the history of bitcoin from when it was first created until now, bitcoin is a scarce asset in the future, that's why we need to buy bitcoin or maybe the use of bitcoin , and there are many other benefits of bitcoin that need to be shown to friends. So it's not your balance.
