Many underdog teams are performing wonders these days and manning up to the supposed big teams. Yesterday was terrific for Bayern Munich with a narrow escape from sharing the points with Wehen Wiesbaden yesterday in a group match. It was not funny for them as they were shown  a big challenge by the supposed underdogs. I still agree with you that when it comes to the most critical stages of these competitions, the bigger clubs tend to prevail since they are more experienced and have more quality players and managers who bring strategies to overcome these lower teams at those levels. In England yesterday, in a similar cup, a tier D team won Manchester united on penalty shootouts, sending the red devils home

The concept of gambling as a form of mental sports refers to the deployment of mental strength in some skill-based games and without physical display of strength or fitness.

Games like Chess, Blackjack, poker and even Sports betting fits in this criterion since professionals employ some good strategies, calculations and even critical analysis before taking the decision on your next line of action. These mental involvements stretch your mind and success in them is a product of strategy, constant practice, psychology and accurate decision under pressure.

There are yet other similarities between these mind sports and physical sports activities like

• Tournaments: Poker tournaments like WSOP features professional poker gamblers who assemble to compete against themselves and take away a big reward
• Rankings Most professional gamblers are ranked in terms of earnings, recognition and achievements
• Viewership Poker tournaments have some great viewership when televised and this shows it's value and entertainment prospects. Locally when professionals play Chess or drafts, they always assemble a little to semi-big audiences showing it has spectators
• Mental discipline: Such as analytical thinking, emotional control, decision made under pressure and even training programs since professional gamblers spend time to refine their skills by constant practices and experience just as athletes

Yes, it is important to gamble on reputable casinos to avoid bad user experiences experienced from non-established ones and possible scams too.

 There is nothing like a betting exchange, we've betting platforms and casinos, I see that in India only some states tolerate gambling while others ban it to various degree. If I was in India and seeing this drama, I'll resort to gambling on foreign casinos only since the environment is not so favorable and there is a good possibility of falling out with relevant authorities even though you reside in a state that permits gambling.

Veikkaus is their only gambling provider in Finland, and they do not offer licenses to external platforms apart from partial license, that would begin in 2027, so it is easier for the government to enforce those laws, however it does not mean that its citizens are adhering to the laws in its totality or that it is preventing anyone from gambling uncontrollably as long as they can use VPNs or other third party software to gamble in foreign casinos especially in a situation whereby cryptocurrency is legal in finland.

It would only checkmate those that gamble within the country but I doubt that it is effective on a large scale since citizens have other options.

You must not wait for dips, in fact if you are a low coiner or no coiner, then waiting for dips is a big mistake and does not show seriousness in your accumulation journey, worst of it all if you've not bought your first bitcoin, then you are settling for being a speculator and allowing procrastination to decide your fate which does not end well most times since you may unintentionally introduce decision fatigue in yourself and would not later buy even in a dip. The best way is to jump right in and start accumulating bitcoin for yourself as long as you've discretionary income present.

Allowing the price movement to determine your buying bitcoin is a big distraction and a heavy display of a trader's mindset rather than an investors' at a time you should show more commitment and consistency to your accumulation of bitcoin.

DCA has presented us the opportunity to buy consistently through different entry points both high and low in order to smoothen the effect of volatility on our investment, and if you're so concerned about dips, you can continue buying while you build out a variance of fund dedicated to buying dip when it presents itself and not totally stalling your accumulation journey in a bid to target dips.

For me sports betting ads is not the main problem, although the government can do whatever they feel is right to curtail exposure of these little guys to gambling. Personally, I've seen these little ones gamble freely with their gadgets and I feel their parents are not doing enough to monitor their online presence which is the main source of excessive involvement into gambling by younger ones.

Google has made it very easy to introduce parental controls on emails associated with your dependents. I feel that if parents can adequately monitor the activities of their wards online, then physical casinos comply with denying under 18 access to gambling activities, then these measures to further curb their expose could work more effectively.

Emergency fund does not act as a hedge against your bitcoin investment, else you would end up describing you bitcoin investment as a threat to your emergency fund, rather your emergency fund serves as a hedge against tampering you bitcoin investment, more like a support network to enhance the longevity of your holding bitcoin without tampering it in the event of real emergencies that might come up in the process of accumulating and holding bitcoin.

This is how it should look so you don't end up plagiarizing someone else's post by trying to own it instead of referencing the original owner of the post.

Using BBcodes is just like basic programming, every opening tag must have a corresponding closing tag, when your quotes are not properly formatted, then it simply means that there is an open tag that was not properly closed, then you look out for it, close it and your quote would be good

This is best that you do not click emails you do not recognize on the mail connected to your financial dealings, better if you have a dedicated email account for your exchanges and co and never use it for anything else, so whenever a new mail, even recognized ones pops up, you don't click anything from the email, you go to the account of interest, log into it and check if the mail exists in it's notifications and attend to such from the relevant app and not from email notifications. It would help you only attend to verified information. Additionally, use a separate device for your bitcoin and other crypto activities.

 Yeah, actually although most times you wouldn't want to pay Tx fees on every UTXO that hits your exchange account, so possibly the exchange account can serve as a consolidation point for your coins until it reaches a definite amount and you send it to your non-custodial wallet. I set a limit of coins existing in my exchange to not more than $3k, as soon as that sum is achieved, off it goes to my decentralized wallet.

This is just a demonstration of getting another source of income to harness your accumulation journey, it is very thoughtful of him to use what is at his disposal to get what he wants at a time when people only do much of complaining of the limitation to funding to adequately chase their dreams. Yet another display of desire and actualization through consistency of efforts. This would surely be an inspiration to many of us who wants to own good stashes of bitcoin for ourselves but are limited in finances that we could actually do more and think relatively out of the box in order to increase our earnings and be able to give our bitcoin accumulation more commitment than already existing

I think that people that would use this your method would spend even more than they would've remitted to the government. Bitcoin charges fees for it's transactions and depending in the number of transactions you make in a day, Bitcoin is a more expensive medium of payments when using the mempool, unless you're considering LN which is cheaper and less popular and there comes a problem of trying to make all your client want to use LN

Many users have corrected you on the fact that gold is not a cryptocurrency, rather a physical asset and you invest into it by buying some quantities off a dealer digitally. and get a certificate of ownership. You have refused to edit your post until now, Are you not learnable or is it that you are not getting notifications on your topic?


Having gotten into bitcoin, I have come to have less appreciation for investing in assets that is placed in a third party's custody. Secondly it is important to not that people should only invest from their discretionary income when they are into bitcoin, I wouldn't go for gold, I'll consider agriculture instead and for altcoins, that is a mistake I'm never making again. I believe that for more efficiency, we need to diversify into few investment vehicles and not a whole lot of them.

If you watched closely, the Newcastle players delivered on Gordon up front in the first half and up until when he got the red card, they couldn't do much and he wasn't helpful in converting any chance, but when he left, every other person took it upon themselves to create chances and get something. I'm the second half, they were more determined and mounted pressure on Liverpool even after equalizing, continued to play beautiful football until Liverpool struggled to find a winner.

 After watching the first match and partly the second match, I started imagining a Newcastle without Gordon.  I think Isak was better. A Newcastle performance without Gordon was a better performance. He's on red card and might miss maybe 2 games. Let's see their performance without him in the next match to validate or disprove my argument.

I think Newcastle is better without Gordon, sincerely speaking after watching their match this season for 2 consecutive weeks, I cannot see what he is contributing to the squad and you can see from their play in his absence, they were more energized and manned up to Liverpool as against when they were depending on the weak Gordon up front. I think that red card was a blessing to them in that match and they almost neutralized Liverpool if not for the late goal that rendered their efforts futile in sharing the points with Liverpool. The manager should look into Gordon's performance or find a good replacement up front because that guy is stalling their attacking prowess.

Congratulations to Liverpool, they managed to steal all 3 points in the end.

I cannot have any full dependence on AI to give me money from it's predictions, especially in sports betting because the success rate cannot be guaranteed on a long term, A friend of mine successfully built an agent with Langraph which predicts soccer outcomes and we were testing it out over the last two weeks, the first was a correct score and it converted, second won but overtime we discovered that the predictions were loosing and we lost good income which made me to conclude that AI may not be able to make you a profitable gambler on the long run.

Res

You suppose dey aware say Bitcoin no get guarantee, although the risk dey very small, but nobody get any guarantee for their investment. I go still advise you make you no dey give people assurance for their Bitcoin investment. If the investment no go well, them go dey on your neck. Allow people to decide what they do, just introduce them to Bitcoin, and reason them wetin dey obtainable, but never give them any guarantee.

These old people suppose take as minimal risks as possible, that's why they should buy Bitcoin only with money they can afford to lose.
