261  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Conference League 2023/24 Season on: February 23, 2024, 02:30:52 PM
I do believe that conference will be very important for many of these clubs because the only place they could win in Europe will be this one. Ajax is the exception because I always consider them as a team that can get much better, the yare going through some rough period right now but they will do much better eventually.

They were the UCL semi-*finalist just a few years ago and that should be proof enough that they could care less about this for the season, but most other teams are so good at here that they can't win europa or of course not UCL as well, so they need to win this or they can't win anything else. Most came from higher p positions, some even from champions league elimination phases, so they should be very good.

Bitcoins and Forex are completely different. The prices of the coins and stocks completely varies on different occasions. So I hardly doubt that same strategy can give you profits here. Regarding the referral link, each member has a unique one and they can share it to earn commissions. You asked about investing for 2 years in Bitcoins, then that’s actually a good decision. Investing has less risk than trading and profit is also guaranteed most of the time.
Yeah and that is why he said not the same but he also said similar, which I can agree with because both are currencies and the mechanics of how their trading works are also the same. What I mean is we need to buy low and sell high to be able to profit because like you, I also know that they still have differences in terms of market movements and others related to it since BTC is highly volatile.

In investing, I won't say profits are always guaranteed because the value of our assets can go up and down since we are not selling it anytime. It can also be more risky if we pick up a highly risk coin but even if not, we might still be impatience to wait and do other mistakes, while trading can be less risky if we know what we are doing.

In my opinion, sacking Napoli's coach at the moment would hurt Napoli a lot. Napoli should not have made such a decision at the end of the season. It takes some time for a new coach to take control of the team. In the mean time, Napoli's title race this season could go from bad to worse. Even though Napoli are not in a good position in the serie A points table, I think Napoli can slowly go further down due to the sacking of the coach this time. Now it remains to be seen how far Napoli can go with the new coach.
Decisions like these making things more terrible for the defending champions which are currently at 9th spot and their Champions League dream is also going to end with their performance was not good in first leg match, and now they are going to Barcelona where most chance they will be face exit and Serie A is having good fight for the top six spots Napoli is surely struggling to keep themselves at the top half of the league table because their performance is going down day by day even former coach was not doing good but with just few matches remaining he deserves some more time in this difficult situation.

Now on Sunday they are going to face Cagliari which is currently in relegation zone and have just one win in last ten games, hopefully this will give Napoli win and some confidence for the remaining season as they will try to keep themselves in top ten.

This is really the right decision and can make your ethereum investment reach the top so buy now without delay. The more money you can hold in ethereum during this period, the more you will benefit from the bullish market. There are many smart investors who double their investments because they invest wisely at the right time. If you fully understand the ethereum market then your future will be better. Go ahead with your own experience then the damage will be less.
Buying more ETH is a right/good decision if your ETH hodling is still small and then you also have lots of spare money left. Price have risen but before it rise more, indeed that we should buy now. For those who want more bargain, they can choose to wait because who knows? The price may also nose dive. There might also be other reasons on why we can experience a delay but I won't treat it as an issue.

Cryptos are not only about ETH but we should be aware that there is also BTC and other potential cryptos, so even if you have less ETH but you have lots of those coins, you still can earn a good profit. If we are not a long-time member of cryptos, we might need to listen to the elders first, if we really want to minimize our losses.

Using someone else's funds for trading always carries the risk of losing those funds. It's important to be prepared for potential losses and have a risk management strategy in place to minimize them. Additionally, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of the investor's expectations and requirements to avoid unpleasant situations in case of losses. It's always better to be cautious and demonstrate responsibility when managing other people's funds.
All that involves staking of money has a risk and if we can lose our own money, why not others? And the consequences are much harder, especially if they expect a lot from us and then we agree about multiplying their money in a much guaranteed way. Other than us to have a risk management strategy, those who own the funds must also have it and if they do, they won't be lending a huge capital and then they will also accept it easily whatever happens to it.

Trading someone else's funds may seem a good idea to trade for free and then earn something but I wouldn't honour my service if I know to myself that I'm not really good enough. I wouldn't handle the embarrassment very well if in case I fail badly.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 22, 2024, 04:21:31 AM
If Bayern Munich is unable to restore confidence then I'm afraid they will have difficulty facing Lazio in the Champions League. The match against Leipzig must be the start of improvement so that players can show their consistency again and winning is also considered very important so that the points they have are not far behind Leverkusen. I am optimistic that Bayern Munich will be able to secure the three points in this match because this has been an evaluation for them previously.
Bayern Munich will still face a tough challenge from Leipzig after experiencing difficult times in their last three matches in all competitions. This match is slightly advantageous for Bayern because it is being played at their home ground, but Leipzig also really needs a win to maintain their chances of getting into the top four.
I think Leipzig is very confident heading into this match, Bayern's inconsistent performance in their last three matches can be exploited to gain points. Bayern certainly wants to evaluate immediately in order to end their bad record, but Leipzig is not an opponent that is easy to beat, this match is very exciting because Leipzig will not just give up because their goal is to be in the top four.
Currently, things are surely not favourable for the Bayern Munich because they are losing form and consistency and loses in last three matches surely matter of concern for them because now in coming few matches they are having tough challenges and lost against Lazio at home surely can create more problems because after losing hopes for the Bundesliga their chances are only in Champions League and their current form is not good for the lifting of title.

Now we have another coach is going to leave job after end of this season with Thomas Tuchel is also agreeing with management to leave after end of this season due to poor performance, so this new year is surely having too many issues for the coaches and teams need to improve their quality which is surely not easy, but hunt is going most chances we will have better result of the Bayern Munich in next games.

Marseille is still unbeaten at home in this season in all competitions (90 minutes/normal time).
They only lost once in a penalty shootout against Panathinaikos back in August 2023 - Champions League Qualifying R3.

With this record, Marseille will be heavily favored by the bettors despite both of the teams performance.
In reality, Shakhtar players should be more fit in stamina than Marseille players, because the Ukraine Premier League was in a break since Dec last year.
If I have to bet on this match, I will pick Shakhtar with asian handicap.
Most of the time peoples missed things like these Marseille is surely having troubling time but still their performance at home is impressive, and they are unbeatable at home which is also impressive so for the second leg game I have feeling most chances we will have Marseille could be done better and try to recover from their recent poor performance because we have now changed of coach as well which is mostly have positive impact on teams and as they have done good job in first leg match things are also into their favour for the have better chance for going into round of 16.

I am favouring over for this match because most chances after tough challenging first leg match we can expect another open game which will allow both teams to score more goals with for me Marseille/Draw is going to be better chance instead of going for the Shakhtar which fail to take any advantage in first leg match.
268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do people truly risk their money on bets for profit? on: February 21, 2024, 06:15:42 PM
From my opinion, I think there isn’t any need to stake or risk one’s money on a game simply because you want to catch fun
It's not a need-based thing, people who can afford to do so gamble for fun because they don't care if they lose the money they are using for gambling as it doesn't affect them financially, while those who can't afford to do that will use their money to gamble to earn money with it and because they can't afford to lose the money, they try to chase their losses when they lose and then lose more money and this continues unless they get a grip on themselves.

It's true that one doesn't necessarily need to gamble to have fun and play games and other stuff that don't require money, but they don't just gamble for the games because there are video games that are much more entertaining than gambling games, but it's just the activity that they find to be fun.
269  Economy / Gambling / Re: What would you like to ask a crypto casino owner? on: February 21, 2024, 05:24:32 PM
How they handle user that consistently in profit with pure luck? I mean user that keeps winning without using any strategy like arbitrage betting and other form of sure bet strategy to have an advantage to a casino.
I can answer that for you instead of the casino owner, they limit the accounts of such players without letting them know so that they aren't able to bet large amounts anymore until they become unlucky.  Grin

If it's an old and running casino and if he is okay with disclosing this information, I would ask him how much it cost to start the business including everything, and how much time did it take for him to get ROI from the business. And, how he managed marketing and stuff to get the business started and attract gamblers and how much time it took until new players started coming in without spending much money on marketing.
270  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What memecoins are you holding atm? on: February 21, 2024, 04:50:42 PM
Meme coins never have good market appreciation after hearing a lot of people get into trouble with their investments after buying. Well, it was the fact that investors make money during their hype but after that, it drops making those holders and latecomers suffer losses.
People who get into trouble after investing in meme coins deserve it because it's very irresponsible for them to invest a lot of money on a coin or a token that they know isn't a proper cryptocurrency, and if one doesn't know this, it's their responsibility to do proper research before investing so that they don't invest their money in the wrong place.

Meme coins are not proper cryptocurrencies being backed up by legitimate projects working on developments and stuff, they are tokens created based on memes or sometimes just copying another meme coin.
When someone is investing in a meme coin, they need to understand that they are gambling with their money, and they should know that one should only gamble with what they can afford to lose.
271  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trading psychology and TA on: February 21, 2024, 03:09:22 PM
I have observed great number of traders debate on the issue of having a solid psychology and right approach to trading better pay off than just relying on some Strong Technical Analysis but others don't believe in psychology they base there points on having a winning strategy and proper risk management
What's your take guy's...
Does Psychology exist or is just an illusion of you not  having the right approach and risk management, fundamentals...that affect your trades
Can't a trader doing technical analysis have solid psychology and the right approach towards their trades so that they are making the trades with proper risk management? I don't think we should compare these two things because a trader can have both. Someone who doesn't know how to do technical analysis can have a solid psychology and the right approach, so why someone having these can also do technical analysis if they are capable of doing that?

Psychology exists, of course, how can that be an illusion? Every person has a psychology, whether it's solid or not, and when it comes to trading, a person who doesn't have the right mindset and psychology might not be able to gain enough success even if they have all other skills.
272  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If you had $500, which coins would you choose to buy on: February 21, 2024, 01:54:32 PM
I will diversify my investment in 5 different coins. It means $100 per coin.
There is a very popular quote " Don't put all your eggs in one basket"
If any f my coin give good profit. I will take it and book my profit.
That's probably the best strategy when it comes to investments in a market that is highly volatile and unpredictable. You never know what might happen next in the cryptocurrency market, so you can't expect any cryptocurrency to work exactly in your favour and have all your money invested in it. It's wise to choose multiple cryptocurrencies instead so that if a few of them fail and don't give you any returns, the others might balance your capital along with some profits.

That being said, I am not a fan of over-diversification, which means that you shouldn't invest a small amount into a bunch of different cryptocurrencies where each one would only get about $10 to $20 and you would barely get a few bucks in return even if a lot of them manage to turn profitable which wouldn't be able to cover your loss in case a few of your investments fail.
273  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 21, 2024, 05:40:42 AM
Bayern Munich chances of maintaining its dominance as rulers of the Bundesliga are very low. Leverkusen is still consistently at the top of the standings, and is still unbeaten in 22 Bundesliga matches. Now Leverkusen chance of breaking the dominance of its competitors has reached more than 70%, Bayern decline will give them the freedom to move forward to secure the trophy and create club history. The defeat to Bochum has put Thomas Tuchel under heavy pressure, the guarantee of his position may be in the second round match against Lazio in the Champions League competition. If Bayern fails to advance to the quarter finals, Thomas Tuchel's tenure could end prematurely.
If Bayern Munich is eliminated by Lazio, I'm sure it will unseat Thomas Tuchel because they were overshadowed by Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. This year started with high hopes for them, but there are achievements that they could not fully achieve. I feel sorry for Harry Kane, one of the Bayern players, because he chose Bayern to win trophies, but it seems that he still will not have a trophy in his career.
I am having doubt about this Lazio wins in first leg which is good sign but now at home Bayern Munich will be gone through with their full power and try to have better things even all possibilities are available, but still things are favourable for the Bayern Munich to go through for the next round but in case we have any upset then surely Thomas Tuchel job is going to be in trouble because he was here just for good results but sadly after having good attack they still fail to give any good result is surely going to be not accepted by fans and management.

No doubt this could be the worst thing to happen for the Harry Kane who wants to win trophies but his first season away from Tottenham and England is also going to be ended without any trophy, but hopefully he will stay positive for one more season.
274  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 20, 2024, 08:28:03 PM

About Juventus, which was previously a strong candidate for winning the Scudetto this season, because Juventus only played in the domestic league and also, at the beginning of the season until the middle of this season Juventus can still be cosnsiten with good results. But unfortunately, in the second half of this season Juventus again experienced a decline in performance and of course, with a decline in performance like that, Juventus have had bad results lately. But unfortunately, at the same time Inter are still consistent with the performance and good results they get so Juventus are far behind in the title race.

So yes, with results like that it certainly becomes clearer that at this moment Inter already have a safe position because of such a wide gap in points. Also about Juventus experiencing a decline in quality lately, then I hope Milan will be able to overtake Juventus in second place. Because anyway, Juventus is really still not strong enough to maintain its position in second place, so it will be a great chance for Milan to finish in second place this season.
It's hard to believe what Juventus has achieved in the last few matches and it's quite disappointing. Yes, I think this season the Old Lady will be the main candidate or serious contender for the Scudetto with Inter Milan because they are only focused on Serie A. In fact, in the last four matches, Juve was only able to get 2 points, which is clearly a bad result. Massimiliano Allegri cannot be silent about a situation like that and he must be responsible for immediately making the Bianconeri enthusiastic again. The road for Juventus to catch up with Inter at the top of the standings is of course increasingly difficult, but of course the opportunity still exists. I hope Chiesa and his friends get up soon and are able to catch up with the Nerazzurri.
Suddenly things can take change like this it's hard to believe for anyone with team like Juventus is now having just 2 points from last 4 games and their performance against weaker sides in Serie A suddenly create too many questions about their performance and consistency because with these results now we have good change in league table Inter Milan is clearly leading with 9 points and having one match in hand and AC Milan is also now having 2 points difference which is not big enough and one more bad result can change all situation for the staying at the second spot for them.

Title race is almost over because chances for covering these 9 points toughest job with this performance not possible to go near them even now most chances we will have increase in this difference because leaders are surely at their best.
275  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 20, 2024, 06:06:05 PM
You are correct, if someone very young becomes addicted to gambling he or she can erase is dreams in life and go the route of gambling thinking that it will bring them everything they needed in this world.

When things start happening in a way that they don't expect, they might not quit, they might keep pushing harder until nothing works out like they wanted, and this could change them completely, starting all over again in the real world will be so hard to do.

Gambling messed with the mind and the way we think, only if you allow it, but if you are someone who already knows the odds of getting lucky in gambling, you ain't going to ever fall under the rug for gambling, I would rather get addicted to my career in the real world, as a fashionist but not gambling.
Maybe some can erase it but there are some who don't. It's just that gambling consumes them so they don't have time anymore to work on their dreams (if it's not becoming a gambling professional). Young people still have plenty of time and they can still correct their path later on but it's not a good excuse to start it poorly.

Playing gambling in a casino can provide us entertainment and money, and sometimes love if there are women on it but it's not all. There are still other things in life that we need that can't be found in on it. To be addicted in to something even if you say it's a profitable hobby is still not right but everything in this world must have a balance.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: February 20, 2024, 04:58:42 PM


The odds for the matches today are like above.

I must admit one thing above all else. Aren't Atletico Madrid's odds too high?  Huh  Truthfully my expectation was like these teams having much closer odds. Inter were still going to be the favourite team of course. But this looks a bit like bookies underestimate Atletico Madrid. Because this team is always dangerous under Simeone's control.

I'm seeing Dortmund as the favourite team also unlike bookies. Not by a big gap maybe but I think Dortmund could have been favoured. I guess the odds are affected by PSV's having a wonderful season in their domestic league on one hand.  Smiley

My picks here would be Inter @1.73 and Dortmund @3.25. Maybe it is risky but I think it is worth giving a shot.  Grin
I have to be agreed with you partially about few things but Inter Milan still is playing at home and their performance is also at his best peak with they are giving their best against all teams and Atlético Madrid is also good but not as we have Italian side which is also playing at home and as we have few days back Lazio beats Bayern Munich, so things like these are expected in this match as well with for me Inter Milan can go through much better and also can take lead of 2 or 3 goals in this match.

For the second game which is going to play between PSV vs Borussia Dortmund things are looking tricky because here I am also favouring German side which is having enough quality and performance even in last few games they are not giving their best but still they are at their best and also having good chance for going into next round because they are team which can give their best in all conditions.
277  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you seen gambling advertisements on TV? Opinion. on: February 20, 2024, 12:06:52 PM
Gambling companies must spend money on promotions to attract people to them and get more gamblers. this is their business and everyone wants to grow their business by various advertisements. Similarly, advertising on TV channels is one of their marketing strategies. and it is very effective because when they promote their casino site banner among different sports, all the sports fans are encouraged to play for their favorite team. and gradually they started engaging in gambling
People used to watch TV channels more often when the internet wasn't as common and accessible as it is today. Nowadays, the percentage of people who watch TV channels has reduced greatly because most people use the internet and watch movies and shows and other stuff using streaming services which are usually ad-free which means that there are no advertisements shown to subscribers in most of these services.

That's why, I believe that most gambling platforms and casinos use online channels for marketing purposes and to promote their products and services. Social media platforms are very much popular for such things, other than that, websites that put Google Ads in their banner positions often get gambling ads to promote.

Disclaimer: I am just hired to post this ANN Thread on behalf of Bons.tg, I am not involved with their project.
That is nice and recommendable. Since you are their representative here in the forum you can also tell them to expatiate the advertisement to the next level. Only the ANN thread might not create the needed attention of and the needed traffic to the website. As for the winning, $5kprice is good to go.
Recommendable? But they can also buy a copper membership to be able to post their ann thread with pictures but if they are lazy to do that, what can we do? When you say level up the advertisement, the first thing that came in to my mind is they should open their own signature campaign. That's indeed great because not only they are helping their selves but they are also helping the users in the forum to earn something.

Well, ann thread is not alone but the project must also ensure that they offer something great, so that people will stay once they visit the site. $5k prize pool looks small for me but hey they are still starting, so this can only grow overtime if they will continue to remain.
279  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Risking 1% in Gambling on: February 20, 2024, 10:39:22 AM
Take me for instance, I can never gamble with 1% of my money, it looks like a waste of time, and even when I invest more money, I still can't cope with that low wagering percentage. But I wouldn't know for the rich people because as little as 1% could mean over $50,000 in some cases. This is why it is not good to generalise this or make it a yardstick that gamblers will now be using as a reference. It has to do with individual situation and purpose.
People for whom 1% of their salary could be over $50,000 will often start gambling with as low as $1,000 being their base bet whereas regular gamblers like us would have that as our budget for months. So, when people have higher incomes and if a small percentage equals a large quantity based on their income, it also means that they place higher bets compared to those who earn low incomes and have a low gambling budget because of that.

So, when we talk about a percentage, it will mean the same for everyone because it will be based on their income and risk tolerance because someone who earns $1,000 a month can tolerate a loss of $50, while someone earning $100,000 can tolerate losing $5,000 in a single session.

Every country have their own problems, and some are improving over time while many are still suffering.
There will be no perfect government honestly, and every country have to be more prepared on how to handle this to avoid further economic losses. What we can do as an individual is to make sure that we are always liquid and make sure that have various sources of income to support our needs, we have to work for our own benefit and the benefits of our family, the government will always be there no matter what the economic situation is, its just that the ordinary people will suffer a lot.
Those who are improving can still experience a problem sometimes but it may not be enough anymore to pull them down again on their previous state. There are no perfect in this world, even god the creator too because he is said to be a sinner, so as the governments that we know but they are like a second god too because they may have more knowledge, power, etc... and this is why they are on this position to lead a country and its people.

All countries must have their own preparations but it's just that it may not be enough sometimes but what important is that they try their best and this makes their people proud of them, while I know there are still who are ungrateful. They s*ck.
