I think you are underestimating Dortmund too much if you don't think there is a chance for them to qualify because for now the fact that Dortmund's aggregate is still superior and their performance is still quite good is proof that their chances are still big even if they face PSG.

Indeed, in the end the aggregate of 1 goal did not make them comfortable, but when they managed to keep up with PSG's game the same as in the first leg yesterday it would be enough to put them in the final.
Leg 2 for sure PSG will be the favorites to qualify for the final but they will face stronger pressure compared to Dortmund because for now Dortmund just need to maintain the aggregate advantage they already have but for PSG they have to try to score at least 2 goals or even more ( if Dortmund can score a goal in the 2nd leg) to get to the final.
And don't forget that this is a semi-final which will mean every club playing will do everything to get to the final, including Dortmund who will also do that.

The game between Dortmund and PSG has thought me not to underrated any club that has risen to this level of Semifinals even though one would ordinarily expect PSG to win over Dortmund or at least secure a draw, but it was both to no avail. 1 goal of aggregate is definitely a slim victory to walk away with, but if Dortmund can hold PSG to a draw in the next match, they are already guaranteed of the final against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid are also not so sure of their victory over Bayern Munich as both clubs will still maintain the same lineups and chosen a more defensive looking formation whilst Real Madrid is more interested in the striking than defensing

Bayern Leverkusen beat Roma 2-0. The unbeaten streak continues.
Leverkusen is playing really well, the team will probably win the cup here too. Xabi Alonso has put together a really high quality team, I hope it will continue like this.
Florian Wirtz scored a great goal again.
Xabi Alonso has been truly competitive this season with the Leverkusen team of players making their fans and management proud of their performance. Like AS Roma, any other team that got encountered with Leverkusen develops coldfeet of defeat, knowing fully well that they are meeting with the Bundesliga giants of the season.

AS Roma played today's game at home, hosting the Leverkusen in a defeat. How much more of when the Leverkusen are at home and when they're hosting Roma, they will mos probably face twice a defeat of what the Roma guys faced today. The second leg against Roma will be their last fixturing of the FA Cup this season and its obvious they are winning.

Honestly arsenal has make a great mistake in their previous match against Aston Villa that they allowed the Aston villa to defeated them, if not by now they will now they will know have any challenges. Nevertheless arsenal still have some chances in there remaining three matches. Because I know they will find all of the matches very easily to win even when people's where saying that Arsenal can only their match against Manchester united difficult, I don't agree with that I'm confidence that Arsenal will be the winner of the season.

To be sincere, Arsenal slept off their feet for allowing Aston Villa to match them down when it would have been the opposite. Now, when Arsenal met with Manchester City, they also could not win over the city's and Arsenal's greatest nightmare right now is Manchester City not even the last 3 matches left for them including with Manchester United. Funnily enough Arsenal's wishes right now is to see the downfall of Manchester City in their subsequent matches against Wolves, Fulham, Tottenham, and West Ham and the only match that may be a bit difficult or at least looks like so for Manchester City will be against Tottenham Spurs which Chelsea scored two to nothing tonight. Arsenal must be really scared right now
4  Local / Nigeria (Naija) / Re: How Real-Time Naira-Dollar Exchange Rates on P2P Crypto Platforms Take dey Work? on: May 02, 2024, 06:38:26 PM

In the morning, the price of a naira to dollar fit be 1300 to 1 dollar and in the afternoon it may now have changed to 1350. Watching it happen in real time is so fascinating that I wonder how does this price movement mechanism happen.
Abi dem connect these P2P platforms to our Naija stock Exchange or some kind of forex market API? Abi which kind other method way dem dey use take determined and put update for the exchange rated. Abeg I assume say most of us dey use P2P platforms and if you sabi how this thing dey work, I go like make you enlighten me.



Well, the P2P marketplace did not start today and historically this practice can be traced by to over 25 years ago when someone posted a product online and had another person requested to buy the product at a reasonable price and that's what birthed e-bay platform today being one of the earliest platforms practicing the P2P model over the internet. Ever since, a lot of companies have delved into the P2P business including the car hailing businesses who used the platform to allow passengers book rides online from the available drivers within the vicinity.

This same model was brought into the online trading or exchange platforms where users with local currencies can make transactions with users who are in need of those currencies, and vice-versa. For example, I can decide to join the system of the sellers if I have enough capital to invest in the system and once verified as a seller, I can trade off my capitals with clients interested in buying local currencies from me. Then, I make one end of the peer while the other end of the peer is the buyer/client.

 The exchange platform in itself does not have anything to do in the transaction chain but to create the platform or system for both peers to connect and do business. This is also similar to how Uber, Bolt, Rida and other ride hailing apps create avenue between passengers and drivers. Every peer of the business chain have to log into the appreciate with their capitals before they can proceed to sell. As for buyers/clients, you just come into platform and buy by lodging in the funds to their account.

Then, this is why the exchange platforms have provided several terms and guidelines to ensure that our financial assets are safe as well as security for the platforms. eg. You don't release funds until you are sure to have received the funds in your provided account details, etc.

For me to be considered wealthy, I look at consistency.

I will consider myself wealth if I know I will have money in the next following days and months maybe even years. If my money or income is unstable and I only have it today then that for me is not wealth. Hence I should learn how to look for other options to make sure that I will not be deep in debt with no money under my name in the future.

This is what makes a difference between having money and being wealthy. When you have money, you are not yet considered wealthy but reffered to has someone that has money. Having money means when you have worked to make some money in return in a project or salary and that amount of money is not significant enough to have you spend it frequently as it can be exhausted within few days and you left with nothing to fall back on until another money comes to your pocket again. Whereas being wealthy means being able to cater for your needs and still having more funds to fall on the next days, weeks, months and years. It is having multiple streams of income being generated from one source or more. When you are wealthy you should be able to decipline yourself and work hard on sustaining the incomes without necessarily going into debts.

On me, if Chelsea vs Tottenham should end in a draw then it is completely based on luck probably because they are home and would not want to disappoint the fans by losing. Despite anything being said, Tottenham are the favourite to win the game.

Right now as per the recent performance of both clubs, Tottenham has more football pitch capacity than the Chelsea club and I am quickly going to draw my instances from their match against Arsenal.

When Chelsea faced Arsenal in their last encounter, Arsenal trashed them up with 5 over 0 of the Chelsea but when Arsenal met with Tottenham,the Spurs were at least able to tightly played against Arsenal disallowing them to win some more.

Surprisingly, Dortmund was able to beat PSG in the first leg of the semi-final against PSG. I really don't think so. I thought that PSG would definitely win, but this time, Dortmund did it very well. They are able to obtain and optimize the opportunities they have, even though they are small. Because of his match, So, this match was quite close again. PSG also tried to continue to attack but Dortmund were able to resist it. Yes, at least this time, PSG must acknowledge Dortmund's superiority.
1-0 is not a good result if you hope to qualify. If you think Dortmund will not get a good result against PSG before the match, I think you are not doing anything good with your mind in analyzing the match.
Dortmund here could be different from in the Champions League. Since the group stage, Dortmund has performed well. Dortmund were even able to advance to the semi-finals through group F, which was called the hell group, and they managed to win the group.
A draw is not safe for Dortmund but 1-0 is an asset when playing in Paris.

Neither a a single goal nor a draw are good ways of winning touch matches like this, however you must doff her hearts for the performance of Dortmund haven't correctly proved so many spectators wrong for their thoughts on PSG winning over Dortmund.

Football game is close to a chess as you will find it dicy sometimes to make a decision and that's in fact these kinds of matches today that makes football games more interesting for millions of people outside to watch. Now, watch out for the millions of participants and watch the game because everyone will be anxious to see Dortmund qualify for the final.

Dortmund victory over PSG wasn't an easy one, during the second half of the game there were a lot of pressure from PSG. I think Dortmund were only lucky enough that the attempts were not successfully converted into goals. The both teams played really good, but at the beginning of the first half Dortmund deserve to take on the lead, PSG revived during the second half and luck on goals wasn't with them. PSG will be home in the next fixtures, I hope they do better than this.

Dortmund made me proud throughout today and whilst I was so scared for them, I never thought they could push the 1- 0 scores and maintain it to the end. Right now, Dortmund are at a greater opportunity to qualify for the final stage than any other team now with their performance tonight. I least expected that Dortmund will hold PSG strength to strength until they secured a victory at the end of match. When two hot clubs are playing a match in an heated contest like the Champions league semifinals of today, it is usually scary and most challenging to give a one goal difference between the other or to play a game to a draw.

PSG has got only one opportunity left which is the second leg to be played at the PSG home. If they can be able to win over the next match with a good goal difference, they may scale through on Dortmund most especially look for alternatives.

Lol.

If you care with your health, you need to get health insurance, not invest. No one can predict the future, if you have a high paying job and never had serious disease during the time you accumulate Bitcoin, that's good.

But, what if you're sick when you only work after six months? you didn't even have a good amount investment, while health insurance, even you're sick a day after you obtain the health insurance (depends on the insurance), it might cover all of the bills.

One should always try to invest their incomes or profits made from their trades and other businesses. It does not only helps you when you're sick and need to offset your bills but also assist you to attend to emergencies that are beyond control such as force majeure. Everyone's health is their life asset and there is no single asset that is as crucial to anyone out there as the health and this is why there are more interesting Healthcare insurance schemes widespread across the world like the Healthcare Contributory Scheme established and encouraged people to use of it. So, in short, investing in your health care insurance will only make you to save your money

The main priority for Girona is definitely the Champions League qualification and they are pretty save to get that done. Only scenario to mess that up would be if they lose all remaining games while Athletic Bilbao wins all games and I guess we agree that this is not going to happen.

Atletico Madrid still has to be careful though. It looks ok for them, but missing the Champions League would be very bad for them. At least they didn't mess up that game against Bilbao as that could have gotten them into trouble.

Girona qualifying for the Champions league for the next season is a great milestones for them and even though they could not make it as champions of the league, they are already guaranteed of the Champions League for next year which sets the club up in a more elaborate and competitive platform to perform.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand underestimated the efforts of Girona with their underperformance. But they will still qualify being at the 4th position of the table standing 6 points ahead of the Atletic Club who are at the 5th position of the table and by default cannot make it to the Champions league

What should scare you from investing in gold is that it’s a prehistoric rock with an unknown supply cap. It doesn’t go up that much, you’d be lucky to make 20% profit over 10-15 years. Gold was a good investment 100 years ago, in the modern day Bitcoin is far superior.

Well, what can make people to invest in gold could be for a couple of reasons, majorly people used to see this as an opportunity to invest or rather save their financial asset to provide them against inflation and deflation. Secondly, owning a gold can also help one provide macroeconomic uncertainty. Because of the longevity of the market against inflation as well as it's great value over the long period of time. But when it comes to investment with the intention of making profits, then one should head straight over to bitcoin investment whether through the DCA approach or the Lumpsum.

La Liga is over. Some people are still saying that everything is theoretically possible, but the truth is that Real could step up their game every minute if they need to. They can now play a very relaxed season and if they were to lose like two games in a row, they just send their best eleven and win the remaining games...

And that's it in a nutshell, even if Madrid decides not to use their best eleven to play their next two La Liga fixtures which is between Cadiz and Granada, they are not going to lose just like that and may end up still winning those matches because of our powerful they are right now. Cadiz are the third club from the button and Granada are the second club from the button, so both clubs seems to be struggling with each other from the buttom and have no performance power to compete with Real Madrid in the real sense.

What's interesting to me right now is seeing Girona ahead of Barcelona at the moment with a point while they both struggle to maintain their respective positions at the table standing now as we wrap up the season, Girona will be facing Barcelona in a tough atmosphere and I think Girona can make it happen again with a victory like they did in the last fixture against Barcelona.
15  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich or poor gambler, who should risk more? on: April 29, 2024, 04:21:24 AM

And for poor people who do gambling, the main goal is of course profit, where they want the money to multiply, but that can actually make them frustrated if defeat occurs, by wanting to get a win but we cannot accept defeat it is the same as they let themselves get into trouble intentionally. Poor people definitely do gambling because they want to improve their financial situation, but gambling will not always go well, and can help them in their financial problems.

Ordinarily, a rich gambler have more resources to spend and risk into the gambling games than the poor gamblers but does not imply that they must take more risk, because everything depends on the habit or character of the individual involved. Some poor people are great risk takers and can stake all their earnings in to gambling and when such people lose their money, they are greatly affected by their loses resulting into psychological trauma and depression in some cases.

Some rich people also take risks of injecting some huge amount of money into gambling games but I see many of them taking calculated risks instead. In the sense that when they lose, it probably only affects the profit they had injected into the gambling but not their entire income or worth. They have more options and opportunities to recover faster than the poor people from any lost. So, whether poor or rich is basically an individual decision, but while a poor man will greatly suffer from the lost, the rich might not necessarily feel the same way.

Arsenal won one of their toughest matches. Many people expected them to lose points against Tottenham, but they dictated the game they wanted from the beginning of the match and won with 3 goals in the first half. Manchester City also won their match, but this was to be expected, their opponent was very weak. It was very important for Arsenal to win this match, they are still not in full control but psychologically they are equal to City.
Arsenal have shown full commitment towards taking this season's Premier League title and they are walking the talk in full spirit. I was really surprised by how went ahead to make the 3 goals straight during the first half and that helped the club to maintain a strong balance at the pitch even in the second half. I realized that Arsenal wasn't greedy with the goals they had and worked towards maintaining it

Arsenal has resiliently maintained its position at the top of the table standing with 80 points and a point ahead of Manchester City, while the race between both teams continues to get tougher and more intense.

We all make mistakes with money sometimes.  I once had a chance to invest in something that sounded too good to be true.  I kicked myself for weeks over that missed opportunity.

The lesson here is when you hear about some investment that catches your interest, dig into the details before walking away.  Get the facts and gauge the risks but also consider the potential payoff.  Sometimes you gotta go out on a limb.  Taking calculated risks is part of how people get ahead financially.  You win some and lose some, its the chances you dont take that eat at you.


I share the same opinion that encourages one to try and dig into any investment opportunity that comes their way before walking away from such opportunity, because what you ignored today might be the biggest opportunity for someone who stick around a bit to understand the intricacies of such opportunities and took a step ahead to invest in them. It is also noteworthy to always dig deep into such opportunities and ensure that your evaluation is solid enough to merit your investment after you must have gotten some well informed clarifications about the investments.

The biggest mistake most people do when it comes to investment is to have only a surface understanding of an investment opportunity then they go straight venturing into it instead of having a deeper understanding of it. In the end most people invest in mouthwatering but untrue or short-term rather always study platforms getting a full details

Everyone thought that Inter Milan would deliver a perfect winning rate from now to the end, but it is nomal that these guys lean back at some point and are tired and do not want to go further!

Inter Milan is still intact with their performance in the season and are at the top of the table standing with a wide margin. 16 points ahead of the second club which is AC Milan with 70 points and a match ahead of Inter already after the fixtures they had with Inter last week. In their last game, Inter have still went ahead to make a victory for themselves and showed their prowess in terms performance toward AC Milan and the rest of the clubs, by extension.

I hope that Tuchel can do well in the semifinal match against Real Madrid because perhaps, in previous matches, Tuchel was still holding back on maximizing the potential of his players to avoid injury. But at this moment, because Bayern Munich has also failed to win the Bundesliga trophy, then Bayern Munich should be able to play more optimally with all the main players and key players it has. With these factors, Bayern Munich should be able to provide tough resistance in the match against Real Madrid later. Because yes, at least I hope that Bayern Munich can beat Real Madrid and make Bayern Munich qualify for the Champions League final this season, even though it is difficult, but in football any result can still happen.

I am also wishing Bayern Munich well, not because I have issues with Real Madrid but because I will ordinarily wish Bayern Munich could, at least, for this season. So they can have a feel of what it takes to win over the big guys in the Champions league. However, football doesn't work like that, everyone is working hard to win and they are all putting in their efforts and expertise to bring results. If that is the case, Tuchel have a lot of works to do because some of his players are also not in good standing, including Gnabry, Coman and Sané.

This is the most anticipated match for both Arsenal fans and Anti Arsenal that are waiting for Arsenal’s downfall in the Premier League this season.

As an Arsenal fan, I am having that confidence of winning Tottenham because Arsenal stand a chance to defeat Spurs even though they played draw in their rest leg match at the emirate stadium.

This match is a match that can decide Arsenal’s continued hope in the Premier League title aim this season and if Arsenal win the match, it will be a good hope for Arsenal because if Tottenham lose to Arsenal, they will I their best to recover against City so that keep their top four hope live because Aston Villa is also in the race of the top four ahead of Manchester United.

The last match both teams played with each other was in 24 September, Arsenal and Tottenham went on a draw game but Arsenal won over Tottenham on other 3 more occasions, and only lost 1 to Tottenham. With this trajectory it is quite obvious to mention that Arsenal is most likely to win over Tottenham Spurs. Another thing to consider is the fact that Arsenal is really on top of their game right now and that will help them to muscle up their performance at the best.
