261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Neymar being addicted to online poker on: April 14, 2024, 09:22:14 PM
On the other hand he is addicted to being unfaithful.
Neymar is a typical example of person who lives for the world. He 'masters' the material world, having access to all the facilities, pleasures and comfort disponible for wealthy and influent individuals. For that reason, I think your phrase above is totally accurate and summarizes the description of Neymar very well, because when the person focus only on material stuff, he will be easily dragged by addictions and ephemeral pleasures, which don't mean anything on long run, while giving up on his human essence, which involve deep feelings of peace, self-consciouness, welfare which demand sensibility from the individual to be experienced.

If the person loses contact with this part of his existence, inevitably he will become unfaithful, empty, cold and indifferent to people and moments which should be important and full of meaning for him. I guess people start living on an automatic mode, shutting off their conscience more and more each new day and each new bad choice they make for their lives, worsening symptoms of addictive behavior, and even worse: symptoms of unfaithfulness...
I think every human being wants to live a better life in the world so many people strive to reach a higher level of life, myself included.
It's very easy for you to judge people in this context, for me personally this rather than explaining at the level of impact of the Human itself when the position is the same as Neymar is very subjective and human relativism will cause different outputs on what they have done with gambling, whether it's abnormalities or unfaithfulness that may occur as you said, but for me personally this also depends on the response of his environment and also his family regarding the character that is in neymar, maybe you can say it in such a way, such as the popularity of wealth and getting access to all the luxurious facilities and finally plunging into addictions that will cause the bad nature of man to come out, we cannot be sure with just the naked eye in analyzing this kind of thing, but whatever it is called a very bad addiction will turn someone into a bad human being, such as drugs, women and including gambling, if the addiction suffered is in the final stage.

But we need to remember that maybe because Neymar today has many facilities to access all things easily, he is not worried about himself and the future of his family.

Unbelievable. Arsenal lost to Aston Villa twice in a season. I am sure it is the fault of the coach. Every single minute of the game i watched it clearly. The errors started from the formation. Where he had to bench Martinelli and started Trossard in the first half. When he is fully aware that Trossard is a game changer and not a starter. Secondly, he kept Jorginho on the bench and played Havertz as midfielder in the first half. This is so crazy you know! It's obvious that Arteta is not ready to win the league, all the Arsenal fans are extremely disappointed with Arteta. Because this was the only opportunity to top the league and win it. Now that Manchester City is at the top there is no going down for them. The league is for them now.
Arteta doesn't learn from mistakes and Arteta continues to make them. It's hard to believe, even though this is the time for Arsenal to top the standings, they were unable to take advantage of this opportunity properly. It could be said that in this match Arsenal were defeated by their former coach and former players, Emery and Martinez. From yesterday's and today's matches, Cristal Palace and Aston Villa immediately paved the way for Man City to lift the trophy, so Man City should be grateful to them.

Absolutely, as you say. The fight for the EPL trophy seems to be over. Just give the trophy directly to Manchester City. Because, if Man City is at the top, it is difficult to go down. In addition, the remaining matches are also more profitable for Man City because they have easy opponents. Arsenal still has to face Chelsea, Tottenham and Man United. Liverpool played three away games in a row.
Arteta and Arsenal experienced the same incident as the previous season, they were a little closer to winning the league but in the end they became runners up, surely most Arsenal fans feel very disappointed, being disappointed twice is a very bad thing in my opinion, if Arteta used the same strategy and composition of players surely this would not happen to Arsenal, I also don't understand why he included Martinelli and Havertz in the first half, but maybe my positive thought is that he wants to try to save energy and in the second half he can stabilize his players, but the results are bad and not according to the original plan, yes I think Arsenal were humiliated twice at home, this is tough but ridiculous.

Guardiola and Manchester City benefited greatly this week, Crystal Palace and Aston Villa wins saw him fly to the top again, I think Guardiola needs to say thank you by giving a warm greeting to both teams, and yes, Manchester City if already at the top it is difficult to go down, unless they lose KDB like before which makes their strategy ineffective and messy when there is no KDB in their starting lineup on the field, we will hand the English Premier League trophy back to Mr. Guardiola this season.

Well a few of interesting results in this weekend which can impact a lot in the series, Arsenal losing against Aston Villa and coming to the game against Bayern munich in not a good mood or mental strong.

Bayern Munich already knows they cant win bundesliga and now Leverkusen becomes the champion, so they know only UCL can save the year, wors news for arsenal.
This is certainly favorable for Bayern Munich, first they are the host and second Arsenal are in a state of grief because of the defeat of Aston Villa which makes them no longer occupy the top of the English Premier League standings, and instead was taken back by Manchester City, which a few weeks in third position then immediately at the top of the standings, Guardiola was very lucky.
Yes Leverkusen can already be declared the winner of the bundes league because Leverkusen has a point difference that is impossible for Bayern Munich to catch up with, so Tuchel has no other hope of being able to add trophies to their cupboard only in the champions league, They definitely get the victory in my opinion even though it is still in the 50-50 bet for match ii from some confidence, but if Arsenal players do get a bad mentality due to the defeat it will certainly be easy to beat, but if you think about it, Arsenal also have no other hope, they must win the match against Bayern Munich to be able to advance to the next round, they also need that victory to show themselves because in the English premier league they will only be able to become runners up, and that is quite disappointing.

This kind of experience of yours is a good example of why education shouldn't be the primary aim if it's not required for the part which you choose in life.

I have seen a lot of graduates out there without a job, the response they get from the society out there is very terrible but the problem doesn't end there, if they stay without a well paid job for a long time it will lead to depression. And it was almost the same situation with you, but the difference is that you decided not to give an ear to such response.

I don't care about their sarcasm, I consider it to be the wind. They contribute absolutely nothing to my life, so why should I care what they say. It would be better if I continued to focus on the plan I had made beforehand. Responding to their words will only waste the precious time we have, responding to their words is the same as solving unnecessary problems. Because the best way to silence their mouths is to prove the success we have achieved through the path we have chosen.

It's not very uncommon to hear about that kind of situation where someone who's an undergraduate but still able to be successful in life. The thing is people such as those are the ones who know how to market themselves, either have the skill to communicate better than any of those people who have diplomas or can show more confidence that most of the time needed especially in the corporate world.

It's all about how we apply what we learn in life, not solely the learnings we get in school because not everything we learn at school is useful in life. It is still up to us whether we will use that education to become a better person, or just like above, if you don't finish your education, it's up to how you level up yourself to achieve the needs to start the journey to become successful in life.

Non-academic skills are very important for us to master, because sometimes the reality that occurs in the field is very different from what we learn during college. Although all the knowledge we gain at school is not always practical for our real life, it is important that we put that education into use and utilize it in our day-to-day lives. In this sense, the decision of whether to use education as a means of self-development, or even if we haven't completed any formal education, one can still improve oneself and succeed in achieving his/her goals, lies entirely with us. The point here is to be eager enough and have the diligence to keep learning and developing as a person.
265  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you consider yourself, the family and gambling? on: April 14, 2024, 06:45:06 PM
when we decide to get married, have a family and maybe some already have children. then what is our hobby, our pleasure and our favorite, then that should no longer be our main priority. because we not only have to be responsible for ourselves, but we also have to be responsible for them, our children, and our wives. A child whose life is still dependent on his parents for the time being, and when, for example, we as fathers, the backbone of the family, experience serious problems due to gambling, then it is not ourselves who are the victims, but also those, who are wives and children, who will also be affected.

We all know very well that gambling has quite dangerous risks and negative impacts, because anyone can become addicted, and even those who are old enough can become addicted to gambling, especially those who are underage, maybe they are a little more susceptible to becoming addicted. Therefore, it is quite important for us to always monitor and ensure that our children's growth and development can go well, and that irresponsible gambling activities do not become a factor that disrupts children's growth and development and damages their future.
what you said is true, as the head of the family who has responsibility for his wife's children of course must be highly prioritized however it is a bad impact if we make mistakes in gambling, but honestly this depends on how you manage yourself and depends on your situation too, if gambling does not interfere with the economy and your time with family I don't think it will be a problem, as long as you manage it properly and don't like to exceed your limits in gambling, so you can continue your hobby in gambling but yes of course we gradually have to reduce gambling time from what we usually are in the casino because after marriage has a family that needs your time.

The risk of bad in an unprepared state is real, gambling can do that, so yes as much as possible you need to minimize gambling in front of your child or if possible not in front of him, including also protecting our child's environment because nowadays the environment will easily influence our children to enter a world that is not yet their time to enter such as gambling.

Maybe when someone can control and regulate these activities well then gambling will not be a problem. However, when someone tries to use gambling as a shortcut to improve their family's financial situation, then this is clearly wrong behavior, because the final results of gambling cannot be relied on. Instead of gambling being able to improve their financial situation, in the end this activity actually worsens their financial situation, where their needs are not met at all and the money they have is used up on gambling because they have started to become addicted to gambling. In the end, this behavior can cause disharmony in a household relationship, and possibly result in divorce.

And it's true what you said that as much as possible when we gamble, never gamble in front of our children, because perhaps gambling could be a bad example for them (children), with their very high curiosity, children. Children often try everything adults do, including gambling.
266  Economy / Economics / Re: Prioritizing strong foundation over quick gains on: April 14, 2024, 06:23:22 PM
A focus on quick profits can lead to large risks. There are those who choose easy ways of making wealth, but these may offer immediate results only. Instead, spending time and effort to nurture your skills, connections with others, and self-esteem will yield stable success in the future. At times people are encouraged to spread their investments between meme coins and other short-term projects for faster returns when in fact it would be wiser to invest in assets like Bitcoin that steadily appreciate over a period or invest in one's own development.

One of the most common methods to make a lot of money in a short period is participation in get-rich-quick schemes and activities. However, it is the accomplishment of long-term success that is based on laying a strong foundation and investing in oneself. The results may not be as instant as what short-term investors would expect, but the values and benefits that can be derived from an investment in yourself are certainly worth more in the end.
267  Economy / Economics / Re: Invest on your dependants if you too must grow further on: April 14, 2024, 06:08:46 PM
There is a popular quote that says until everyone around you is rich then your still poor. It's same thing here with your concept, we must always elevate the people around us to be free financially, if you're the only person free financially it turns out that you will not still be free in a short time because you will tend to lift all the bills from your household on yourself which I consider as same as suicide.


Let me add an old proverb that says do not give them fish rather teach them how to fish, so that your basket of fish can be much. One way to be financially stable in a family is atleast Almost everyone in the family earns a living themselves. This way you have all the money you earn to yourself or to carter for just few people which could be the old ones and younger ones who can’t work anymore.

A lone person earning will easily worn them down and some could get frustrated which most at times lead to family feuds. But every member of the family having something to do only reduces each other’s dependency and to me create more peace in the family as no one is tied to another financially

And when someone gets used to being given fish, they will come back to ask for the fish. Because they don't know how to catch fish. However, when we don't just give them fish but also teach them how to catch it, they will slowly leave their dependence on the person who gave it, because they can catch fish themselves.

In a family, not everyone has to earn a living, but each family member must be able to play a different role. Where a father and eldest son are in charge of earning a living, and a wife is in charge of taking care of the house, looking after the children and managing the family's needs and finances. and even if a wife wants to have additional income, in this modern era someone can make a profit just by staying at home, such as selling online or other things. In a family relationship, financial and economic problems are always quite crucial and sensitive issues, and even in the large number of divorce cases that occur, most of them are motivated by family financial and economic problems.
268  Economy / Economics / Re: Off Economic phenomenon. on: April 14, 2024, 05:44:23 PM
There can be several factors leading to a currency depreciation, including high inflation rates, political instability, trade deficits, and high levels of national debt. In order to address this issue, countries often need to implement policies to stabilize their currency and control inflation. This can involve measures such as increasing interest rates, reducing government spending, and implementing reforms to improve the economy.

In my country, we have also experienced periods of currency depreciation and high inflation. In some cases, the government has been able to implement successful policies to stabilize the currency and bring inflation under control. However, in other cases, the situation has been more difficult to resolve and has required more drastic measures.

Overall, it is important for countries to carefully manage their economies and work towards stability in order to protect the standard of living for their citizens. It may require a combination of fiscal and monetary policies, as well as addressing underlying structural issues in the economy.

Currency depreciation can result from factors like inflation, political instability, trade imbalances, and national debts. When countries have to face this problem, they usually have to do something drastic. These steps might include raising interest rates, decreasing government expenditure, and applying economic reforms. Although certain countries may deal with currency depreciation and high inflation rates efficiently, the difficulties could be intense and require major actions sometimes. To maintain a high quality of living for their people, nations should manage their economies properly and strive for stability.
In order to successfully address economic challenges, a combination of fiscal and monetary policies could be adopted, along with paying attention to the root structural problems in the economy. Knowledge about the factors influencing the decline of currency value and the rise in inflation, as well as the correct actions that should be undertaken, is indispensable for any country that seeks to maintain the prosperity and welfare of its inhabitants.
269  Economy / Economics / Re: Cryptocurrency impact on Economy on: April 13, 2024, 07:50:54 PM
  Since the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, the economic impact of cryptocurrency has been both overt and subtle. Now in its fifteenth year of existence, the digital or virtual money that takes the form of tokens or coins has established itself as a viable currency and form of investment, and the economic impact of cryptocurrency is evident in a number of areas in national and global communities. The rise of cryptocurrency has brought with it an entire industry that is dedicated to supervising cryptocurrency exchanges that take place throughout the world. While some early adopters have become rich quickly, others have developed companies that rely on trading as their source of income.
  However, the number of jobs in the Blockchain industry increased from just over 1,000 in 2016 to over 4,000 in 2017 approximately. Software engineers have been the most directly sought after professionals for the cryptocurrency industry. And while this job market has fluctuated in the past few years, interest in these professions have not faltered. As cryptocurrency continues to be legalized outside of the western world, we can expect to see more global investments and job creation within the field. In an increasingly digitized world, the social need to communicate across borders is now manifesting itself in financial needs, and traditional financial institutions are not able to provide this as well as cryptocurrencies can. In time, entrepreneurs can assist in the opportunities to invest in, save, and send money across borders, in turn reframing global business practices. Cryptocurrency has the potential to continue to become a mainstream form of currency in the near future. As it grows in value and popularity, the benefit of investing in crypto becomes more apparent.

Since Bitcoin's inception in 2009, cryptocurrencies have had a significant economic impact.. Presently, digital currencies have been recognized as a workable investment type and feature prominently in many different sectors – be it national or international level. Furthermore, the birth of cryptocurrencies gave rise to an industry that governs global cryptocurrency exchanges. Among some people who earn large profits quickly, others build their own companies in this sector.

The number of positions within the field of blockchain has also increased significantly, specifically for software engineers. This market of employment may change sometimes, but the demand for jobs related to cryptocurrency is still high enough. Over time, cryptocurrencies might replace traditional money due to their relative simplicity. Also, those who invest in cryptos can notice that the rewards are higher as their worth and popularity climb up.
270  Economy / Economics / Re: If being a graduate is the key to being wealthy, why are there poor graduates? on: April 13, 2024, 07:35:12 PM
Basically, education is not the key to success but it's one of the key to success.

Long term ago when it was still the era of education where after graduation you will have to get a job and be considered a successful man or woman that's when education was very necessary for everyone.

In this current generation you only need education of only the area of which you which to venture into requires it hence one can just be focused in any area of their choice and learn from there hence become successful in the business.

Another thing I have observed is that a lot of people have misconception of education, although the meaning of education is learning something new but we considered it to be high institution learning rather learning in general. If it's considered education generally then it's very very important to be successful.

When we dive into lower society, don't expect them to understand enough about education. When you graduate from college and return to society, they will never ask what major you took during college, because they will assume that the graduate is a versatile person who knows everything. and they often assume that those who graduate from college and get a bachelor's degree are someone who has a decent job in an agency and has a high income. And I personally have experienced this, where when I had graduated a few months and returned home, I received questions from the community about where I work and the wages I get every month, and when they found out that the wages I got were much smaller than with those who didn't go to college, that's where my patience started to be tested, I received ridicule from them and they even thought that education was useless. I can't close the mouths of those who continue to ridicule me, other than closing my ears tightly, and trying to keep moving forward in order to achieve success.
271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 13, 2024, 06:53:27 PM
only zero to zero after the first half between Juventus and Torino.

The match isn't as fun as it often happens lately but the only thing that matters are the points brought home

next year Serie A should have 5 places available for the Champsion League so the minimum objective could be fifth place and no longer fourth.
The match will soon end and there is no change, the score remains 0-0. Will Juventus achieve unsatisfactory results again? It would be a shame if they couldn't win, because it would threaten their position in the standings. However, considering the remaining time, it looks like they will only be able to get 1 point, they hope they will get some luck in the last minute.

To be honest, they deserved this draw if we look at the game of the two clubs playing in this match, they didn't have many chances and the match was even. Torino managed to make it very difficult for Juventus in this match so that they could prevent Juventus from dominating and developing their game.

If this result lasts until the end, this will be the 10th draw achieved by Juventus in Serie A this season. I thought they would be able to win, but in fact they had a very difficult time scoring goals in this match.
Yes and the match did end with a 0-0 result for the Juventus against Torino match, I am very disappointed with this match, again Juventus are getting further away from Ac Milan because they only get 1 point this week, Torino in my opinion is much better than losing and I think it's good for Torino than not getting any points at all, no luck for these two teams, disappointing.
Both are enough to play with a draw in this match, just look at the boring match without any significant threat to both, where Torino can block Juventus attacks and Juventus can block attacks made by Torino it makes it a little boring, can be said to be equally strong with balanced so as to produce a draw match.
Alegri's strategy is easy to read these days so they don't have consistency in victory which makes Juventus look weaker than others even though we know their players are quite reliable and their abilities cannot be doubted, it's just that when applying the wrong strategy or easily read by the opponent, we can't have many choices in making attacks that produce goals, 10 draws so far are very good.
272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do some people hide to gamble on: April 13, 2024, 06:37:46 PM
My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

Since gambling is not a crime i see no reason to why they should hide before gambling or while doing it, that shows that anyone engaged in this kind of act has something he is hiding, this may be from the public or from other people around where he is gambling, i don't know what other dirty secrets we keep away from people, but we should clearly have the understanding of this that gambling is all about having fun and nothing more than this, it's not a crime to do so in a country where its being accepted as a legal thing to do.
Your view can be right sir but you need to look back at some cultures and norms that gambling is a bad activity and gamblers as very bad people in some parts of the world, you may need to re-read why some people why someone wants to hide their gambling activities from people and prefer to enjoy it alone or only a few people they trust.
And you also need to see why people here prefer to gamble without their identity being given to the casino, yes because gambling can be said to be a sensitive activity by some people which makes them choose to gamble secretly without anyone knowing, besides that we also know that gambling is made not only a place for fun, many of us make gambling a place to launder money and or make money there, this is also included in why someone wants their gambling activities hidden. But it needs to be emphasized that gambling is not a criminal activity.

That is their own right so don't worry too much in my opinion OP, people must have certain reasons why they hide that they are gamblers, we just need to understand what they do with gambling while not harming.

I need Bournemouth to beat Man United today so Newcastle can sit in the Top 6. If Chelsea will not play European games next season, Man United must not play too.

Injury excuse is tired as well, Newcastle actually still play a good brand of football with loads of injuries & played a winger who’s never played at RB before today against Spurs & Krafth at CB lmfao.

Whilst having to start Dubravka every game as well.
Why are you so hard friend, considering that Man United also has the same hopes for the eroupa league, they have that right to continue their struggle, but indeed Bournemouth is trying to maintain its victory in this again against Manchester United, you need to see the match that Man unted is very trying to equalize in this second half, I'm not sure that Man United can win this match easily, they have to be able to equalize first to be able to surpass Burnemouth.
As I am typing that Man United can equalize the position to 2-2 through Bruno Fernandes, 10 minutes left whether Man Uinited can win this match, and I think your hopes may be lost because Man United has a chance to get a win in this match, judging from the probability it is very possible for Man United to score this time, and Bournemouth looks more tired in the match in this second half. I think Newcastle need to hold out and hope for next week, about chelsea I hope you don't expect more from the blues it's not good for your health friend. LOL

Damn i was really wrong with the yesterday game Augsburg vs Union Berlin , looks like Augsburg keep there performance.
For the todays matches i am glad and happy that Dortmund won there game about Gladbach , sad they got again a red card for Adeyemi.
The other games also was not that bad for my bets , Bayern Munich won also and fingers crossed that Frankfurt maybe get some point out od Stuttgart.
Why are you confident in Union Berlin, this season is not the same as the previous season where Union Berlin did perform quite well, but this season they are very disappointing, their performance has dropped drastically, of course you have a good look at Union Berlin, I myself am no longer willing to bet on a team that has already been a huge disappointment, Union Berlin is on the verge of entering the relegation zone so that's enough to make me not dare bet on them.
Meanwhile, Dortmund is still good enough to bet on them, especially when playing against a team at the bottom of the standings, 70% can be said to be a win for me, and the match against Gladbach was also quite fierce but luckily I was able to get a win, so Bayern Munich is still highly recommended as a place. Betting, although sometimes they lose consistency, but who doesn't know Bayern Munich in the domestic league, they are kings so far, even though this season they will be replaced, but for second place they will always hold it.
It looks like Stuttgart are playing better and they got a complete win apparently for tonight, 3-0 over Frankfrut, but there is still enough time to get back to Frankfurt in this second half, but I doubt they will get the win.

BTW, bro, do you bet separately or do you make a parlay bet to get a much bigger multiplier?
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 13, 2024, 05:34:09 PM
Who would have thought that Lens would lose against a lowly team like Metz and they would have to go home without taking a point in this match. Of course the result is surprising and detrimental for Lens because their chances of winning are very big. However, Metz, who lost in a row in their previous three matches, wanted to give a different result, especially in front of their fans, so they couldn't afford to lose again and it all paid off by beating Lens.
Yes, even though Lens took the lead in the 13th minute, but who would have thought that Metz played so well that it made it difficult for Lens in that match and was able to equalize in the 33rd minute and at the end of the first half and the score was 2:1 ahead in the first half, making Metz winning until the end and bringing them the full 3 points, indeed this defeat was very detrimental for Lens because they were struggling in the European zone but Metz was very happy with this result, at least little by little they were able to shift their position from the red zone.
Everyone must have been surprised by the result of the match between Metz and Lens, it was indeed quite embarrassing even though in the early minutes Lens outperformed the match by entering the match in the 13th minute through Floriant Sotoca but Metz was able to restore the situation in the 34th minute and at the end of the first half it was 2-1, This is beyond the expectations of many analysts because Lens should be able to beat Metz if based on their current abilities and experience but it seems to have a different journey this week, it is quite unfortunate because Lens can lose to a team that is at the bottom of the standings with a score of 2-1, seen from Lens statistics in the second half to be very dominating and trying to equalize, But the results speak differently, the Metz squad shifted focus in the second half to use more defensive strategies to maintain their winning position until the end of the league, it can be seen that Lens' second half ball control was more because Metz players did not have much room to play nicely in the second half, but Metz's strategy worked until the second half was over, they maintained their victory and did not care what was thought because they also needed to win to get out of the relegation zone, if you look at them they still have a chance to fight out of the relegation zone and I think they did it for that.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: April 13, 2024, 04:51:06 PM
"Is Gambling A Hobby?" is the wrong question, the question should be "Can Gambling Be A Hobby?" and the answer is yes, it surely can. A hobby is something that you do often as you like doing it, and it can be anything. A hobby can be a sport, reading, writing, watching TV, playing video games, or anything in general including gambling because you do it either everyday or very often and you like doing that thing.

If you are gambling for fun, you have gambling as a hobby, and if you gamble because you are addicted to it or you do it to earn money from it, then maybe it isn't a hobby but it's something you are forcing yourself to do not because you like doing it but because you want to get something out of it.
This is just a matter of perception and habits in running things in this world, gambling is an object just like the other fields you said such as soccer, watching, reading, writing, drawing playing games is just an object and you can freely do it and consider it for your own interests whether it is made as a job or hobby or whatever it is.

Yes, someone to find entertainment in gambling, of course, he makes gambling a place as a hobby, and makes it a place to make money, meaning that you force gambling as a place for you to work, just like playing soccer, writing, reading, playing games, many people make it a job, this is quite possible to do also in gambling, even though we consider it wrong if gambling is considered a job but it is quite possible for someone to do it, and that's where the logic lies to conclude the opinion that gambling is a hobby or not in someone's life.

The issue of whether or not it is addictive is relative, just like the other fields we mentioned, we can get addicted to that field.

Girona takes the lead again in the early minutes of the match, just as they did in January. But this time the goal was scored on the 3rd minutes of the first half, while in Jan3, it was on the second minutes. Girona looks strong in this match, because it was a good football work that was used in scoring the goal by Dovbyk on the third minutes with an assist from Couto.

This is the 8th goal scored by Dovbyk this season, and I feel that Atletico Madrid will be able to equalize the goal. Girona started the game in a comfortable way by scoring an early goal to take advantage of the game. If the game ends up in Girona's favor, it means that Bilbao will have the chance of moving to the 4th position if they win their match.

A. Madrid 0-1 Girona.
Even though Girona was able to take an early lead with a goal from Dovbyk in the opening minutes of the match, I see that this match is still so even between the two that Atletico Madrid could be able to equalize in this ongoing match. And I also predict that the second half will also be more intense because these two teams are trying to maintain their respective positions in the standings table. So one of them will be a big loss if they lose today's match because Barcelona and Bilbao will also try to win this week's match.
And the result of the match is that Atletico can restore the situation and get a perfect victory against Girona, although Girona entered the goal early but Atletico Madrid seems to have reorganized itself and ended with a score of 3 - 1 Griezman played very well in this match, and Girona was quite exhausted to penetrate the defense made by Atletico Madrid so that they were a lot of kicked when attacking. Atletico got 3 points in this match which makes itself further away from Atletico Bilbao and closer to Girona's position, the difference between Girona and Atletico Madrid is only 4 points and I think it is very possible to be pursued by Atletico Madrid as long as Girona has two more defeats in the remaining matches.

BTW Rayo and Getafe are approaching the match in the second half almost over both are still looking for ways to enter the goal but both are still very difficult, in terms of the game Rayo is much better and it could be that Rayo can be the winner in this match, however Rayo survives not to enter the relegation zone, they need points to stay in La Liga.

Inflation will present its own challenges, and it is possible that for those who rely on pension funds to meet their needs, with prices of basic commodities continuing to increase, they will have difficulty making ends meet. Unless they have other income, such as having an investment or business that can be relied on and generate profits.

But it's not too late, at his advanced age and with all the limitations that exist, perhaps at that age it will be quite difficult for him to earn money, especially if he has to work relying on physical strength. Regardless of the amount of pension funds he receives, and all the needs that must be met. In situations like this, living frugally and being willing to set aside a little money to start investing is the solution. because at least by investing, he will have a small advantage to face challenges in the future. Even though there is a child, who might be able to rely on it, I think being able to have our own income is much better, rather than depending on other people for our lives, even if it is our own children.

What would make a government to rebrand their traditional currencies just to edit some graphic designs with excessive amounts of money bills involved to execute such project that doe not mean to brings more values to the currency neither does it boost the economy level of the nation?

Meanwhile such is been an undeveloped country which the implemented bill for such valueless project is big enough to create infrastructures with the potentials of building the masses with valuable skills and otherwise a national financial revenue.

Do we assume it is still one of the money laundering strategies that the government intentionally creates loopholes in other to steal the public funds? Because even after the implementations and execution of Such projects, the same governments clamours that the nation has run out of funds after giving accounts of those irrelevant executed projects.

This can indicate priorities that may not be in line with urgent economic needs. The enormous expenditures spent on the currency’s makeover may seem irrelevant and insignificant, especially when basic infrastructure projects or local community development programs are neglected. In most developing countries, there is a serious challenge in resource allocation resulting in inefficiency. Drawing a conclusion that this implies the government endorses money laundering as its strategy of theft of public funds is quite a leap.
Public accountability is an important factor that can help alleviate suspicion, but secrecy and lack of transparency in public funds management can increase mistrust. Also, if wasteful expenditures are carried out without clear accountability, this might result in the loss of social benefits as well as undermine the economic growth of the country.

There is a need to enhance transparency and accountability in the use of public money, and government expenditure should be based on society’s genuine needs and the country’s economic situation.
280  Economy / Economics / Re: Banking on people's ideas, visions, and talents. on: April 13, 2024, 08:38:08 AM
This goes to show that ideas and visions are not enough to create wealth, they're foundations to start the journey of success, so what really creates wealth is the available tools or resources to actualize the ideas or visions. This is like the story of the guy who has written a book on how to become reach but is looking for money to publish and promote the book, very ironic, so despite his ideas on how to make money, he still needs money to print and promote his project. This is why the richest people are not the smartest people, they sorounds themselves with smart people, collect their idea, implement them and become richer.

an Idea is very cheap. Everyone can do it, but only a few people are willing and able to move forward, trying to make what they have in mind become a reality. Success does not come from those who are good at creating ideas, but success comes from those who are willing to try. Not a few people are willing to spend money to buy tickets, in order to be able to attend seminars, they spend tens of thousands of rupiah to buy tickets, maybe even more, the aim of which is none other than to get motivation so they can move forward. However, what they spend will be in vain when when they return from the seminar, they just sit around without doing anything. They forget that the motivator, through the seminars he holds, is trying to enrich himself through these seminars. And they forget that the best motivation comes not from other people, but from within themselves. And in my opinion, the difficulties we are currently facing are more than enough motivation for us to move forward.
