Honestly, I don't trust any prediction site for my sports betting, this could be just another attempt by someone to take advantage of the desperation of people desperate to make money from betting. I don't believe this can work and be profitable for players in the long term. Bets must be personal.
Yes, we should not trust the prediction site, because we do not know their background in issuing predictions, and they may also have a deal behind us that we do not know about to deceive people who use their services.

Yes, I think gambling should be personal and we draw conclusions from our own analysis, I think it is much better than using a site to help you bet, especially if it is done frequently.
182  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: July 20, 2024, 05:07:37 PM
Yes, maybe people who are thirsty for victory will definitely do whatever they can to have a big chance of winning, until there are some people who hire analysts to help them predict their bets.

Yes, it is better for us to use our own result analysis, because even if it is wrong we can correct our mistakes and it will make us much more in betting on other occasions, I think this is much better than using other people's result predictions it will be disappointing if it is wrong and it will make it not so pleasant if we get a win, I am always very happy if the bet that is the result of my previous analysis turns out to be correct, it is much happier as a gambler. IMO

Some people may be waiting for Bayer Leverkusen's first debut in the champions league, and I am personally very curious about what Xabi Alonso will present in the champions league, whether he will be even crazier in his new season or indeed regress, because we know that the previous season Bayer Leverkusen really surprised many people with their performance during their Bundes league, Moreover, Xabi Alonso must have refreshed his players very strategically to be able to compete in the Champion match and maintain his throne in the Bundes league.
184  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin soars to two-week high after Trump attack on: July 19, 2024, 07:22:25 PM
Bitcoin surged to a two-week high on Monday after the attempted assassination of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump raised the odds of the former president, who has presented himself as a champion of cryptocurrency, winning the upcoming election.

https://www.reuters.com/technology/bitcoin-soars-two-week-high-after-trump-attack-2024-07-15/

when he was president the first time. the IRS started making all those rules about how you had to pay taxes even if you didn't convert it to fiat. so his history is that he hasn't done anything to help people using crypto, bitcoin in particular. he's just sat by and let the IRS make all these rules. rules that hurt people using bitcoin.

i think he had his chance once and he dropped the ball. i don't know why he deserves a second chance.
After that incident it was like Trump got a miracle for his electability to increase very quickly in a few days, everyone was talking about it and making a lot of speculation so that his name kept getting mentioned and being noticed, maybe because he had said he supported the bitcoin industry, this attracted investors to buy bitcoin because of the possibility that regulations would be changed in America.

I think Trump was previously very skeptical about Bitcoin and that's what made him not care about anything the IRS did during his tenure, now like Lary Fink before him who said that bitcoin was a scam, but after he learned about it he even launched a Bitcoin ETF, and I think Trump is also in that phase after realizing that Bitcoin is a strong enough base for the future with many enthusiasts in America who have been suppressed during Biden's tenure.

It's not confirmed yet but Osimhen is getting closer to PSG. Since they lost Mbappe they have been trying to fill the place of Mbappe in the team and Osimhen could be an interesting option, especially because of the age of Osimhen he can play there in PSG for years.
However, Napoli wanted to get 130 million euros for Osimhen first but now it seems they accepted 100 million euros. Osimhen even wants to put Napoli under pressure to let him go because he doesn't want to stay in this team anymore.

It hasn't been confirmed yet, but it looks like this transfer will actually happen. It is reported that Napoli wants to get Romelu Lukaku, that is strong enough reason to think that Osimhen will leave the club. In this saga we can't just link Osimhen with Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand Chelsea also want him to play at Stamford Bridge. All decisions are in Osimhen at this time, he can determine where he will play next season.

There are too many rumors about Osimhen who will be bought by PSG but it is still confusing and there is no confirmation whatsoever, maybe it can happen and also not for news like this, Napoli is quite expensive for Osimhen even though I think it is still expensive for Osimhen's current condition, on the other hand it is also possible that the price issue is still being negotiated by the PSG and Napoli teams so there is no confirmation yet, but if Napoli does not lower the price maybe PSG will force themselves if they really need a replacement player for Mbappe who has left even though his quality is far below Mbappe, but it might be much better for PSG than nothing at all.
186  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How has a significant win in gambling changed your life? on: July 19, 2024, 06:34:36 PM
When I started gambling a few years ago, I won a pretty big amount of money and that opened new doors for me to pursue new business ventures. Some of these ideas panned out and some flopped miserably, but I still managed to generate some money from the the ventures that were successful.

I now have something that can generate some "passive" income and something that needs a lot of my time and attention, but overall it improved my quality of living and it encouraged me to follow my dreams.

I still gamble, but not as much as I did before... because time management has become an issue. This will not secure my retirement, but it gives me some freedom to experiment with more ideas. (I still need to work between 8 to 10 hours per day.... and weekends, but I have something to fall back on, if something bad happens)

Hope your big wins, did not just go back into the casinos.  Wink
Your experience seems like you got a very big win from gambling that could change your life to where you are today, unfortunately I never got a big win that could make me change my life for the better or could be used to open a new business.

Maybe from some winnings I don't go back to gambling, but from all that nothing can change my life at all, it sucks until I almost give up, and think it's better to work on what I have to work on, what do you think about people like me sir who have never experienced big wins during their gambling experience, should I keep gambling or focus on my business?
187  Economy / Economics / Re: Is labour wealth? on: July 19, 2024, 06:14:44 PM
Of course labor is wealth, which is where we have the power to do things and cannot be controlled according to our wishes, if we work very well and get better, our work will make a lot of money and can be a real source of wealth that you can get from your work.

Instead of people who don't work, they don't have any wealth at all, even if you look at rich people also still work to maintain their wealth and increase their wealth in their old age, so work is a wealth. IMO
188  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Addiction is 100% your choice: on: July 18, 2024, 05:32:31 PM
I'm not sure that addiction is 100 percent the gambler's fault. 
Yes, I agree with the phenomenon that people often want to get into trouble themselves or even want to replace reality with their fantasies: as happens in gambling addiction.
In this case, the brain wants to escape from problems. But the fact is that many people themselves are healthy and they become addicted not because of the reasons described above, but because the game is to blame for causing them to become addicted.
Your analogy is interesting but I don't think a person would play under the decision of the game, he decides the game he is going to play to begin with and that is your choice, because basically you can choose not to play and not even try gambling, but because you choose it you enter into it on your own decision not someone else's, and therein lies your mistake, if you don't play you will get addicted, of course not, it all starts with you choosing to try to do it.
189  Local / Topik Lainnya / Re: Bagaimana sih melawan rasa malas on: July 18, 2024, 04:49:29 PM
Mungkin ini akan cukup membantu bagaimana caranya melawan rasa malas adalah dengan menumbuhkan ambisi dalam diri anda, ini akan sangat berguna menurut saya karena pada dasarnya jika kita memiliki ambisi besar kita akan menekan diri kita sendiri, ambisi akan menekan otak untuk berpikir bagaimana sampai pada tujuan dan akan menekan hati untuk terus membara.

Jika ambisi dalam hidup itu kecil maka akan sangat sulit untuk melawan rasa malas, ambisi itu bukan keinginan, melainkan representasi dari rasa amarah untuk melakukan segala sesuatu dengan sangat fokus dan berapi-api sehingga rasa malas itu akan tergeser dengan sendirinya, karena otak dan hati kita akan di paksa untuk bekerja lebih keras dan fokus pada apa yang akan membuat kita ingin.

Yang terpenting adalah mencari penyebab dari tumbuhnya rasa malas dan menghilangkan setiap unsur distraksi yang bisa menguatkan perasaan malas tersebut. Cara awal yang paling ampuh adalah dengan beribadah lebih tekun, sehingga bisa menumbuhkan pikiran positif dan akan memacu seseorang untuk menjadi produktif kembali.

Rasa malas sering juga disebabkan oleh prokrastinasi maupun demotivasi (atau bahasa gaulnya "mager"), dan hal tersebut tentunya tidak boleh dibiarkan berlarut-larut karena bukan hanya merugikan dirinya sendiri, namun bisa juga berimbas ke orang sekitarnya.
Ya benar, kita juga harus mencari tahu asal darimana datangnya malas itu akan membuat kita jauh lebih peka terhadap sesuatu yang bisa membuat kita malas dan kita bisa menghindarinya.

Salah satunya yang sering saya amati adalah ketika pagi kita sarapan terlalu banyak/kenyang dan itu akan menyebabkan tubuh kita ngantuk dan membuat malas pada waktu siangnya, kemudian terlalu banyak main HP itu juga bisa membuat kita malas, seperti nonton short vidio di media sosial yang membuat kita juga malas karena terus menonton.

Rajin ibadah ituu emang akan memberikan dorongan positif pada pikiran kita, juga olahraga yang teratur itu bisa mebantu tubuh kita untuk terus aktif dan bisa membunuh kemalasan yang ada dalam diri kita, dorongan jiwa postif, pemikiran positif dan hati yang positif akan membuat kita mampu melawan rasa malas.

Recreation is spending some time around activities that I find joy in when I'm depressed. People get bored sometimes while working so they definitely need entertainment to spend some free time. But in this case there are various types of entertainment among which the simplest entertainment is traveling and fishing. But people nowadays consider gambling as a good source of entertainment. There are many lonely people who have chosen gambling as an important source to pass the time to themselves.
It goes back to each person's preferences, regarding entertainment of course what makes us happy and everyone has different tastes so that what makes being for each person is different too.

In the main definition, of course, entertainment is an atmosphere or situation that makes our hearts happy, whether it's traveling, playing gambling, or just talking with family can also be considered a vacation, but from various entertainments, some are paid and some are not, so there are many other specifications for each entertainment we want.

But Marseille team is lucky to have Greenwood. Greenwood is a talented young player. And Greenwood's fitness is good enough. And Marseille will certainly benefit from Greenwood's addition to the squad. Ligue 1 is relatively less competitive. So Greenwood might be able to score more goals next season.
Greenwood can actually compete in La Liga. He is a young player and has great talent. But I think his decision to move to Marseille this season was also a good decision. Greenwood is still 22 years old and maybe he will get lots of opportunities to play with Marseille. Greenwood has competed in the EPL so I think he will have no difficulty adapting and will become one of the best strikers in Ligue 1. I hope Greenwood can perform very well and consistently in Ligue 1 and will see his name on the list of Ligue 1 top scorers.
Yes Greenwood has enough experience at Manchester United and that experience he can bring to the French league 1 and I also think that Greenwood will not disappoint Marseille considering that he has a pretty good talent with his young age, he can still develop quite well for Marseille, on the other hand also Marseille is one of the big teams in the French league 1 which might be able to bring Greenwood to be one of the best competing players as a goal executor in the French league 1 top scorer board.

We hope to be much better and this league 1 becomes a competitive league again, after seeing PSG who is not so dominant with his players it is estimated that the competition will be better in the French league 1.

Since a lot of people have already posted the odds from Stake.com, I don't want to repeat. If you want to check the odds from Real Clear Polling, here are they:

https://www.realclearpolling.com/betting-odds/2024/president

Trump has more than 60% chance of winning the election according to all the major pollsters. And surprisingly, Harris is at the second position, and not Biden. It surprises me that Biden hasn't yet pulled out of the race. Others such as Obama, Newsom, Whitmer and Clinton are all with max 3% probability each.
Trump has a greater chance than others and the effect of yesterday's events did make trump much stronger than his voice to achieve such a dominance of polling votes.

And yes I am also quite surprised that Harris is in second place, even though those who intersect today are Biden and also Trump but Haris is like a wild horse that catches up slowly, he grows the electability of his voice, is it possible that the upcoming competition is Haris and Trump and Biden returns to the corner to watch?

The stakes are very interesting.

194  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Crypto Fear & Greed Index on: July 17, 2024, 03:18:18 PM
So far what I hold in the principle of dealing with the market, when people are experiencing fear in the market then that is the time for us to jump in, I like to see how the market responds, fear is an index or indicator to gain more momentum.

I want you to see that the more fearful people the whales continue to accumulate bitcoin or altcoins that have very high potential when the market turns around, so use that index to increase your chances of taking profits, yes sometimes if you are used to trading more risky when fear it will suppress mentally if the decline continues to deepen.

If people are greedy then it's time for us to get out of the market, before the bubble bursts.

On paper, it's very easy to say — "when people are fearful, buy as much as possible and sell when people are euphoric". It's only easy to say. In practice, it's actually harder to execute. For one, you might actually have an active trade prior to market going down and then you have to suffer your losses. You won't be able to "buy the dips" in that state of mind, I can assure you of that. I have experimented it for a while now with the recent experience being that Bitcoin drop from ATH to $53K and altcoins -80% correction. Not very easy except you have plenty of capital to DCA on the dips.

Thinking don't buy as much as possible it might be painful if the harvest continues and I also feel that way, yes still make purchases even if not much, indeed it is very easy to say and difficult to do I don't deny that, but if you think better and your mentality has been formed that kind of thing is not a difficult thing to do if you are used to it.

Basically I look at the whales who accumulate on dips, follow their way even though we use small money but it will have a very good impact if we do it often enough and our investor mentality will be formed.

Hi,

I've been a long time lurker here but really thought I should setup a login. I've held bitcoin since 2016 just after the halving. I'm hoping we have some exciting times ahead. I managed to use the last halving to accumulate a bit and I've hodled ever since.

I think the end of 2024 will be interesting time, and will hopefully cement some good profits for us all.

I do have a plan for my bitcoin and it's looking like the next bull cycle ath may be my exit from the space. Although having said that I would like to keep a some btc.

For the future of bitcoin I hope the space becomes more resilient and we see less issues like Mt Gox etc. I also hope to see more people adopting bitcoin but for the moment a lot of people just don't understand it.
Welcome to the forum sir.

yes we have a pretty big opportunity for BTC in the future where indeed Bitcoin has entered into a much larger market at this time and it is an opportunity to continue to experience price increases from time to time its development, now BTC is getting bigger and more recognized by many people.

To avoid cases like Mt.gox we just shouldn't store our assets on exchanges, keep your bitcoin in a wallet with full control by yourself to avoid such events, maybe when talking about the impact on the market "decline" it is a very feared thing but we need to know that it is natural selection and to fix every flaw is to have destruction to fix.

Spain are going for their 4th Euro championship while England are trying to get their 1st one. My thinking is still the same, even if we see extra time or penalties I believe in Spain to be victorious. I'm always beside the side that deserves the most - unless there is my national team in the finale.  Tongue

Spain don't refrain from playing dirty by the way. For example Carvajal didn't hesitate even for once despite knowing he would probably get a red card in the Germany match. I expect them to do everything they can to secure the title.  Smiley
Spain will definitely get another victory, judging by the matches so far in the Euro it really makes us think that Spain is much better than any team, because their game is consistent and their performance cannot be doubted.

So England are sometimes irregular in their play, and we know that Southgate is much doubted, I can't wait to see Southgate with the strategy that will be built against Spain tonight in the final match, if England manages to get a victory it will be very much better and it will make a history for England itself.
198  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What does patience mean in trading? on: July 13, 2024, 02:50:01 PM
Yes, all things are needed to increase success in the analysis we carry out. The things you mentioned are things that need to be done to make us successful in trading. Even though it takes a lot of patience, this might increase the success rate in making a profit. It might seem quite troublesome, because of that, traders are required to be patient, especially when it comes to waiting for the right moment.
There are no easy things in achieving success, so the things that are more troublesome are actually the methods or paths that need to be taken and must also continue to get used to it so that we ourselves can enjoy the process without considering it troublesome or difficult to achieve. Trading is a job that has risks and it needs to be done better by anyone so that the results themselves can be better even though the crypto market conditions themselves are not the same because there are important moments that we need to see for ourselves.
It can be said that hours of flying in trading, it will be something that will be very important because there are some that must be disciplined in a trade, both patience, habits, seeing moments, making decisions and so on as a fundamentalist of a good trade to achieve success, especially in terms of mental it will be quite disturbing and patience will be lost because of losing our self-control when our mentality is affected by market fluctuations, both losses and profits, and emotions will grow.

It is not easy but if disciplined slowly maybe we will continue to be able to make profits consistently with very good patience.
199  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: getting back into the BTC game on: July 13, 2024, 11:04:09 AM
Op, welcome back! I hope your account recovery will be successful. As for Bitcoin, I don't think it's ever too late to return to it. As you can see, the price grew significantly over the years, and so did recognition of Bitcoin around the world. The fees are an issue occasionally, but there are also periods when they are very reasonable.
I'm still feeling good about Bitcoin, although I believe that our expectations should not be the way they were 7 or more years ago. Bitcoin can't grow 20x or 10x in one bull run anymore. But maybe it can grow 10x over a decade, we'll see. Right now, we're either still getting close to the bull run, or a very mild bull run is already behind us and there's a bear market ahead. It's hard to say in advance, but it will be clear in hindsight.
It's never too late to collect bitcoin is a very special sentence, today we are in a phase where institutions and governments are slowly entering the world of bitcoin, some other countries are still quite hesitant but I note that institutions are increasingly adopting bitcoin, as well as retail which is growing with the expansion of bitcoin and marketing by many market for bitcoin to reach more ordinary people.

yes we cannot expect to be 20x or more but we can see slowly bitcoin will experience growth even if only 1x 2x in each cycle, for the next decade I hope we are at the top of a very beautiful hope with bitcoin, never doubt bitcoin as a very promising investment asset.
200  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: July 13, 2024, 10:39:50 AM
Everyone will see how Luis Enrique will be able to manage the PSG team next season with Kylian Mbappe no longer in the squad. Because so far there has been little dependence on Kylian Mbappe at PSG so Luis Enrique will have no other choice but to look for new players. And also change things that are still dependent on one player into more solid teamwork in order to stay on track to win next season in two quite prestigious competitions of course (Ligue 1 and Champions League).
Obviously the gap in PSG created by the exit of mbappe is something that PSG has to definitely get fixed because if they don't, it will be a huge problem to them and the season is about to start again so it's important they get such vital replacements before it turns out a serious problem on their side, but I believe that Enrique wouldn't allow his team turn out Messy due to the absence of a particular player evwnnif ehs been really vital to them while he did stayed in the team. Tho it may seem like it will be difficult but it's still very possible that they may get a new good replacement who may literally fit in so well but we may be thinking otherwise till the performance comes up and we get to see the results within and at the end of the Season.
But if you think about it now that the gap has narrowed and PSG are now looking more likely to be competitive it will make the French league 1 matches more interesting as teams can have much clearer expectations of their city teams, I think it's also pretty good for the health of the league that isn't just dominated by PSG the last few seasons.

Yes although I would also like PSG to do much better, and Luis Enrique to give PSG another trophy, but if they lose it's not bad for the league, but maybe LUis will risk his career if this season doesn't get a win in the domestic league, especially if they don't qualify for the champions league it will end badly, but that's unlikely, I think at least Enrique will compete very well despite not having star players in their squad anymore.
