Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
The game between lens vs Brest that is been played tonight in the French ligue 1 is 1:1 at the 72th minutes of the season with the away team brest having a red card in the 55th minutes of this game when majecki committed a foul and was given a red card let see how this game will end but a draw will not be a bad result for both teams
We saw the expected result in this match. Lens were considered the favorite and Lens won the match 3-1. Lens is a strong team. However, it was quite difficult for them to win this match. Lens players could not score a single goal until Brest goalkeeper Majecki got a red card. After Majecki got a red card, the match scenario changed very quickly and Lens scored 3 goals in the end. However, the interesting thing is that Lens players managed to make a total of 30 shots in this match and 10 were on target. Lens' attacking gameplay was very enjoyable.
In my opinion, being a responsible gambler is very difficult, although many people think it is easy, but in reality it is not easy. In my opinion, there are many people who gamble and claim to be responsible, but in reality, when they lose money, they regret it a lot later and cannot control themselves. If a gambler cannot control himself when he loses his money, then he cannot be a responsible gambler at all. Rather, a responsible gambler is a person who can always control himself, even if he loses a lot of money, if he can still control himself, then he is responsible. And a responsible gambler always plays from experience and always believes in his skills and patience, he is a patient person who does not lose control of himself.
being a responsible gambler isn’t just about having iron discipline when you lose
Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread
It’s quite interesting that Ancelotti decided to leave out names like Vinícius Jr, Rodrygo, and Militão, especially since they’ve been almost untouchable starters for Brazil in recent years. But considering the circumstances, his decision makes sense. Brazil has already secured qualification for the 2026 World Cup, so these last two games are more about testing options than grinding out results. By resting his Real Madrid trio, Ancelotti can both protect them from unnecessary fatigue and injuries while also giving opportunities to players who normally don’t get many minutes.
Yes, it makes sense to give Vinícius Rodrygo & Militão a break after Brazil has finished. In order to test depth & control workload & injury risk Ancelotti is obviously using the final qualifiers & Vinícius may even be suspended for the first game. Although fans hold in disfavor rollouts that feel like assessment, resting stars runs the risk of play havoc with onfield rhythm, so it is a in the field decision rather than an obvious one. imo balance is more paramount than drama
The players of the Pakistan team have been very aggressive, but the loss of wickets has been comparatively much higher. At present, the Pakistan team is under a lot of wicket pressure, the top batsmen are already getting out. If the Pakistan team continues to score runs like this, there will be a high chance of losing, because if they cannot throw a high score at the Afghanistan team, then there will be a high chance of losing.
Rashid khan and agha salman at the toss
Pakistan scored 48 runs in the first 5 overs. But now Pakistan's batting is a bit slow. At the end of 12 overs, Pakistan managed to score 9 runs and lost 4 wickets. The top order batsmen tried to bat well enough. However, Saim Ayub and Hasan Nawaz batted like fools. They should have batted at least 100 strike rate. But Hasan Nawaz batted at 69 and Ayub at 87 strike rate. Now there are two experienced batsmen like Agha Salman and Mohammad Nawaz at the crease. Both of them have the ability to play big innings. If these two batsmen can survive at the crease till the end, Pakistan will be able to score big.
Man United getting eliminated from the EFL cup by Grimsby Town, a club from League Two (so 3 tiers below the Premier League) is all over the news in the UK.
Of course, the EFL is not Amorim's priority, but I don't think they intended to give up the game. Definitely not when the team's performance is questionable and people start expressing doubts about whether Amorim knows what he's doing and whether he's the right man for the job.
To be fair to Man United, they did dominate the game in terms of shots on goal and ball possession, but they struggled to find the way to the net and it backfired on them. Onana's mistake with the 2nd goal for Grimsby didn't help either.
If they don't earn 3 points against Burnley (at home) this Saturday, I think the club owners might lose their patience and could start looking for Amorim's replacement. But it's not like they have any suitable candidates available anyway.

yeah it is cruel to be kicked out by League Two Grimsby. A startling Onana error & 2 late goal before they crashed out in penalties were part of that 12-11 penalty shootout loss following a 2-2 draw. However in practice firing someone after a single subpar outcome is harsh, particularly when there is not a clear successor with the capacity to temporarily rebuild. Amorim acknowledges that everything went wrong & promises to make things right. Jumping ship now says more about panic than strategic planning but Burnley at home is a must win to calm the chaos.
Firstly most businesses as of today don't accept Bitcoin and that is the number one challenge that Bitcoin have in regards to eliminating the banking system. Banking system had been in function for ages and people feel very comfortable to do their financial transactions through them. It is sad that people who use Bitcoin for financial transactions are flagged as money launderers, their transaction history can be traced at anytime as if traditional currencies are not mostly used for money laundering. This is one of the major reason why people hodl Bitcoin as investment to make profit, I don't think that Bitcoin can rival the use of fiat in the future.
The main reason why we want to hold bitcoin as an investment is because we are attracted by the huge returns it can bring. Let's not blame and make excuses that because bitcoin transactions are often considered money laundering or businesses don't accept it, we can't use bitcoin as a currency.
I bet even if businesses accept bitcoin or governments allow it as a legal means of payment. You, me and many others will not want to use and spend our bitcoins either. Simply because for us, bitcoin is an asset, an investment that will make us rich and no one wants to spend it.
What retail investors like us should do is adjust our financial resources to invest. Michael Saylor buying strategy is not suitable to emulate because their volume is clearly at a different level, even when prices rise, they buy bitcoin. Retail? Of course we can't just do it carelessly. For retail investors, there are many things to consider. We must be careful in taking positions and take advantage of certain points. Simply put, institutions like MicroStrategy can survive even in a bearish market, but what about retail investors?
Retail investors can also survive bear markets, even if they last longer than usual, as long as they have a sound long-term holding plan. It all depends on each person's plan and strategy. But yes, as retail investors, we should have a strategy that suits our capital and position. It is not advisable to imitate or use the strategies of large companies, this is inappropriate and will lead to undesirable results.
In my opinion, DCA weekly/monthly, or buy whenever we have money regardless of price, or buy the DIP. All are true, and the important thing is that we just need to choose the strategy that suits our circumstances.
Maybe we should distinguish global reserve currencies from global reserve assets. The US dollar is the global reserve currency, mostly because it's being used as a medium of exchange in international trade. Gold is a global reserve asset, because the central banks are using it to backup the value of their fiat currencies. Bitcoin can be used as a supplement of gold, and more central banks could include BTC in their reserves, but I don't believe that BTC could ever replace the USD as the global currency, mostly because the BTC blockchain can't handle a gigantic amount of everyday transactions. Gold shares many of Bitcoin's qualities. It's a geopolitically neutral asset and it isn't tied to any particular country.
USD is not only used in international trade transactions but also an asset that accounts for a significant proportion of global foreign exchange reserves. If I remember correctly, according to IMF data, the USD accounts for more than 56% of global foreign exchange reserves, down significantly from 66% in 2015. The reason is that many countries are reducing USD in foreign exchange reserves and replacing it with yuan or euro, and especially gold.
So if the multipolar world scenario happens as OP said, and if they don't want to trust a single national currency like USD. Bitcoin could replace the role of the USD in foreign exchange reserves.
Manchester United vs Grimsby was the only game holding my cash-out,I wasn't just disappointed but extremely angry because I ended up loosing my bets all because a Billion pounds squad couldn't deliver me for that day. I have lost a huge bet for adding Manchester United on my slip, oh how i wish I knew I would have avoided this game entirely. Reuben Amorim is sitting on a time bomb that could explode at him earlier that expected,he may be sack before the half of the season if Manchester United continues loosing important games like this again. Reuben Amorim has the opportunity of building his own squad by signing new players of his own choice,so they is no excuse for him anymore if he fails to perform this season.
I didn't blame Amorim for Manchester United's performance in the past few matches. But I am very disappointed to see Manchester United's performance against Grimsby. A renowned team like Manchester United failed to win against Grimsby Town. A lot of bettors lost their money for sure. I thought Amorim would be able to gradually stabilize the team. But I don't see that possibility anymore. Amorim may be sacked in the middle of the season. Manchester United need to find a more experienced coach.
Bitcoin is not only for the rich, anyone can invest any amount in Bitcoin, there is no limitation. However, Bitcoin is a big advantage for the poor. Because the amount of profit that can be obtained by investing in Bitcoin cannot be obtained by investing in anything else. So it is possible to get a good amount of profit by investing some amount in Bitcoin. So it is more suitable for the poor than the rich. The rich can strengthen their final position by investing in different places but this is not the case for the poor so I would say Bitcoin is not for the rich but a great opportunity for the poor to change their financial situation.
It should be noted that bitcoin is not a get rich quick scheme, we need to hold it for a long time and will face many challenges. Meanwhile, the problem with poor people is that their finances are limited and that makes it difficult for them to hold on for the long term without good planning. Not to mention, bitcoin prices are no longer low and accumulation is considered a challenge for the poor. It doesn't take a rich person much time to buy 1BTC but how long will it take a poor person to buy 1BTC? Therefore, it is not entirely correct to say that bitcoin is only for the poor or is a great advantage for the poor.
In business or investment, profit depends largely on knowledge, strategy and planning. Returns are not only determined by the type of assets you invest in. If you invest in bitcoin but have little capital, no knowledge or experience. How can you make a big profit from it?
Well I think this is more of sort of a manipulation then anything that has to do with the interest rates. Even the fed chairman hinted that there is a need to cut the interest rate in the next FOMC meeting and the price of Bitcoin pumped on the day of his speech but after that it has been a continuous dump. I think this is to take out weak hands and them we may see another all time high in September.
Manipulation is inevitable and it happens in every financial market, not just bitcoin. But as far as I know, bitcoin price reacted positively after the Fed chairman's statement and then quickly dropped sharply because a whale sold more than 24,000 BTC, equivalent to more than $4 billion.
Furthermore, Powell only hinted that the Fed would cut rates, but he did not say for sure that a rate cut would happen in September. Therefore, we should not be surprised that the market remains cautious and not overly optimistic.
I was thinking that Liverpool will have serious issues this year due to the death od Jota but seeing how they started the season, i will not remove them from the list of the team that will likely win the league trophy this year. Beating Bournemouth is not an easy task yet they did it and what they played Newcastle is a confirmation of their readiness to challenge any team and prevail. Although luck played a role in their victory against Newcastle because that match ought to be a draw.
I do not know why Liverpool performed so poorly against Newcastle. We saw that in the first match they played quite well against Bournemouth. We saw some weakness in defense. Even then, Liverpool won 4- 2. Perhaps because it was an away match, Liverpool players were not confident. Now we are all waiting for liverpool's next match. Both Arsenal and Liverpool are fighting for the title this season. The team that loses this match will fall a little behind in the title race. Although there is still a long journey left. Still, this match is very important for both.
Guy this will be a pure wins for Liverpool. In my own prediction, Liverpool will score in the first half and in the second half there will another goal again. And I don't think any gambler on this game would bet on the favour of Newcastle United even the odd is big. M. Salah (11), F. Wirtz (7), C. Gakpo (18) and H. Ekitike (22) are in the first half and are in the front runners.
When the game starts to 15 minutes of time then we will know which of the team will lead to the victory of the match.

If Newcastle had alexander Isak in their squad today, then I would say Newcastle would try to win. But isak is out of the squad due to injury. And I do not know when we will see Isak in a newcastle jersey again.
Liverpool's squad is strong we know that. They managed to score 4 goals against bournemouth in the first match. I am not sure if liverpool will play an attacking strategy against newcastle. This is Newcastle's home match. So Liverpool will probably play carefully in this match. There is no doubt that Liverpool will want to leave the field with 3 points against Newcastle by any way.
What a horrible match, Milan cant lose against Cremonese!
As i said in the past, less than two weeks ago, Milan has my negative outlook and as you have seen, i was not wrong at all, gentlemen.
this season it will hurt as much as it did in the previous one

I considered Milan as a contender for the Serie A title. But I am very disappointed with the performance of this team. We saw Milan's dominance throughout the match. But the result of the match is that Milan lost 2-1. Cremonese players only had 4 shots in the entire match. Throughout the match, we saw Milan's players attack a lot. But the team was not able to score more than one goal. Milan's attack and defense performed so badly against Cremonese, I don't see the possibility that Milan will continue its good performance against the big teams in Serie A. Milan does not have the ability to win the title this season either.
Re: Philippine House has introduced a bill to establish a strategic bitcoin reserve.
People who know the political situation over there, what is the likelihood of this passing based on who is proposing it and which party they are in? I will only believe and applaud these things once they pass into law, not before.
Crypto is not yet such a big topic among politicians so I doubt it will be passed immediately nor effectively. Philippines has a system where everything takes so much time so not expecting too much from this proposed bill.If bitcoin is not a topic of interest to many politicians, why do they propose and discuss it?
The question is not whether they care or not, but they need to carefully consider and evaluate whether adopting cryptoc or adding bitcoin to national reserves will benefit or harm their country and economy. They will make decisions based on that, and if it actually benefits their economy and their country, and even if they don't like it. They will also have to accept it because national interests must come first.
There is already a topic on this discussion, I guess you didnt check carefully to know if something like this was already being discussed...to answer your question I would say that having a skill is more important even though both of them are actually valuable but to make money in this generation you must have a skill because your degree isn't going to be enough to keep you going...There are lots of people that have a degree but no source of income
But most people with only skills and no qualifications often end up in low-level positions with little opportunity for career advancement. Meanwhile, those who lack skills but have high degrees will have a bit of difficulty in the early stages of their careers but over time. They will be the ones who have the opportunity to advance and hold key positions in the company.
Like any company or corporation in the world. There are many employees and technicians working without a degree, but have you seen anyone working as a human resources director, department head or chief accountant without a degree?
Don't be too short-sighted when thinking only about making money in the short term, we need to look at the big picture and have a longer-term vision, then we will see the importance of a degree.
Although Crystal Palace are currently in form, they are not performing very well against Nottingham Forest in today's match. Even though the match with the first half and 80 minutes of the second half, the result of today's match is still 1-1. However, the way Crystal Palace has started to perform, it seems that they can end the match with a draw today. But in the end, let's see which team of the two teams will go ahead by scoring goals.
Crystal Palace performed well against Chelsea in the first match. The team failed to win in the home match against Nottingham Forest. However, I am not surprised at all by this result. Nottingham Forest is not a weak team. We saw the great performance of this team last season. This season too, they are in very good form. They managed to secure a 3-1 victory against Brentford in the first match. And today's match also saw a very organized gameplay from Nottingham Forest. Like last season, Nottingham Forest's performance is stable this season. The bonding between the players is also strong.
Incapable coach with no creativity in the tactic combined with bad squad planning without intensity. It's a complete reason why Atletico getting thrashed two times by the garbage clubs in a row. At this point their manager is finished and deserve the sack.
The longer simeone in the club, the more bad result they will achieve. It's time to part ways with their current manager.

Atletico Madrid should look for a new coach. Diego simeone has been the manager of Atletico Madrid for a long time. But he could not be very successful. The team became La liga champions in the 2020- 21 season. But after that , Atletico Madrid fans did not see any more success. He was the coach of Atletico Madrid for 14 long seasons. Out of these , the team won only 2 La Liga titles and one Copa del Rey title. In the last two seasons, Atletico Madrid's squad was quite strong. Even then, the team's performance was very irregular. We can see the same thing happening again this season. Atletico lost against Espanyol in the first match and shared points with Elche in the second match.
Historically, although August is a bad month, but August of bull years (2017, 2021), bitcoin has grown well. So at the beginning of the month, I also expected and thought that bitcoin could reach $130k.
And although Bitcoin also reached an ATH this month, with what's going on and just 1 week left in the month, Bitcoin is still trading below $115k. So I think I predicted wrong, bitcoin will not be able to reach $130k in such a short time.

Re: Do You Think The Minimum Deposit Can Contribute To Gambling Addiction
My answer is No, mainly because most gamblers that deposit low or gamble at a low amount are strictly trying to avoid being addicted that's the more reason they are gambling with what they can afford to lose at a minimal percentage,basically because they don't want to get hooked up along the line so having used a minimum amount can't contribute to gambling addiction.
But what if they keep repeating that, they continuously adding money after every loss until they have no money left in their pocket? Or it's the last money they have. In that case, I think even a small (minimum) deposit could contribute to their gambling addiction.
The cause of gambling addiction is that we cannot control ourselves, so even though we play with small amounts of money but play many times, or play with amounts that we cannot lose. We can also become addicted to gambling.
