Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025

If I was a Chelsea fan I won't be bragging about that finals because of the team I'll be playing against they shouldn't forget that their opponents are the Champions of Europe that are doing every possible to add to their trophy and merit being called the best team in the world. I'm not saying it's impossible for any team to win them yes it's possible but we're talking about PSG here a team with the best squad and manager in Europe the previous season.

What do you mean? So the fans should give up on the team, what is not the essence of supporting the club if you wont support them in easy and difficult times. My friend, Chelsea is one lucky club that i know. Even in their worst seasons I wonder how they pull things through, luckily they are in the final of the Club world Cup. They may be lucky to win PSG  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy
It's funny how people are underrating a team that has fought it way to the finals of a competition as this with statement that suggest that they are only lucky to have come this far. Believe it that if PSG comes against Chelsea with this kind of mentality, it's going to be really bad for them because it will place Chelsea at a serious advantage. As much as PSG has been exceptionally good this season, we can't also take out the fact that Chelsea has not performed badly on Thier own end. It's going to be a complete 90 minutes of play to expect any kind of potential outcome. We can't just give PSG a direct win in this game and certainly, we can't say Chelsea won't struggle in this game, a lot of things will play out but in the end, we will have one result which is going to favour the team that's ready to give in everything that's needed get the victory in the finals of the match.

When it comes to finals, the underdog can be as dangerous as even the team that looks the strongest to winning it. Let's wait and see how things unfolds tomorrow.

Real Madrid were just horrible. That's all. It would be funny to still defend that sh*tty game honestly. 2 of those goals were purely because of silly defensive mistakes. They couldn't even answer PSG in any way. Such a disappointment...  Sad

Now in the finale PSG are highly favoured naturally. Can Chelsea be the one to counter them?  Huh  I don't feel positive about it. PSG really care about the tournament. They are still playing their same deadly game like they had in the Champions League...

PSG didn't even have to push that hard to make the results we saw: if they keep this form, it’ll take something special to stop them in their tracks.
One edge PSG has above most of the opponent they have played against us that there's this sense of unity in the PSG team that makes them play too well and sadly get good result against teams that are a bit disorganised or that plays a little bit of individual football. The pace to play very fast from defense to attack and utilize every goal scoring opportunity is what real Madrid couldn't cope with since they where already struggling to play together as a team.. when they go against Chelsea, this is going to be what will make the game a bit interesting because if Chelsea can also maintain Thier energy level, it will be possible for Chelsea to go at them edge to edge and still make things difficult for PSG.

In of the team that deserves to win the FIFA club world cup more, PSG is that perfect team but because of how football can just suprise us sometimes there's a level of hope that something contrary to the popular opinion can still happen on Sunday night.

Re: See No gambling Hear no gambling Talk No gambling for strict regulation?

Do you think seeing no gambling, hearing no gambling, and talking no gambling, not even a mention of a gambling site, will decrease addiction? Is it a good resolution?
As much as there's a need to do advertisment, the rate of gambling adverts across different channels is getting too rampant and this has jointly contributed to the increasing demand for the regulation in the extent of gambling advertisment that's allowed to fly on the streets.

When young ones sees gambling billboard all over the street, what immediately comes to their mind? They are forced to get started in gambling way too early. Some might not have what it takes to handle things very well at that moment which is going to affect the society negatively. It's not possible to completely place a ban on gambling or to stop people from outrightly talking about it. The regulations are just means of reducing the extent of damage that might happen if gambling promotion is done unregulated.

As someone who is always ready to learn. You know, sometimes we learn and receive information from arguments. It's just like a debate. Our government use debate to make decisions and policies. Like our House of Representatives, and that is how it is all over the world.
 What can you say about our conversation?
people always like to give a general view on something based on their personal experience with it or something that looks like it. a lot of the people that usually tag bitcoin as part of crypto and hence that they are scam say so because they lack proper knowledge on what bitcoin investment is and that always gives them a marred view about bitcoin. investing in bitcoin his never a scam and regardless of the opinion some minority might hold, the real bitcoin investors knows what is true and that is the reason why they have remained invested regardless of the negative talks around. it is necessary we know what information will be of use to us and which will not be of use to us and take out those that wont be of use to us while we focus on what really matters.

Question:
1. Do you think last ATH would be the highest We would see?
2. Do you also believe that bitcoin would touched $500k as people are already tweeted and share on this forum
3. How do you think manage the market now that prices are soaring and altcoin aren't still making any new move to impressed their holds?
to even think that this ATH is the last ATH we will see is something that shows how one sided your understanding of bitcoin is. we have hard previous ATH in the past with a lot of speculations coming out at the time, frankly, it is just what is the case whenever we have new ATH, people will talk and talk and then with time they will get used to that price and still go on to anticipate a price that is higher than the peak price we are currently at. $500k is not unrealistic but it will not just come overnight. it will take time but even at that, it will still happen. till that eventually happens the forum as a community we keep herself involved in all the buuild up to that moment when bitcoin willl eventually cross that $500k mark

Exactly right, that's why Arsenal are so aggressive in this transfer window and they are not giving up on targeting the striker. Almost all of us think Arsenal will be different next season especially if they manage to bring in Viktor Gyokeres it means the fight will be more intense between 3 other elite clubs Liverpool, Manchester City or Chelsea. Previously I thought if Gyokeres failed to come to Arsenal then the other option would be Osimhen but maybe Osimhen will ask for a higher salary therefore Gyokeres is still the main target..
We have seen a lot of goals Viktor Gyokeres has scored for Sporting CP since Ruben Amorim signed him, and I think if Arsenal could be able to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP this season, I believe Arsenal has gotten the point man that can successfully lead them to win the Premier League title. If Arsenal fails to sign Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, Arsenal will not likely go for Victor Osimhen because Napoli wants to sell Victor Osimhen at £75m, and Arsenal won't want to buy a player that will be a free agent next season at that high price.

One thing you guys has forgotten is that Portuguese Ligue is not as strong as premier league, yes I know Viktor Gyokeres is a good player but that doesn't mean he will give Arsenal the premier league trophy if he comes, it may be possible but we shouldn't talk about it as if it is certain or guarantee and don't be surprise when he will come to England and won't play like he use to... In his former club, I will love to watch him play in Arsenal and see how far arsenal will go next season and I'm sure he has different offer but I believe he will choose a club that will make him shine well which Manchester united can not do that for him, judging based on current performance though.
every other player that is coming into the premier league comes with a full understanding of how competitive the league is so naturally, they always have no choice than bringing something more to the table as that is the only way they can blend into the huge responsibility of a team that is struggling to win trophies again after going trophy less for multiple of seasons. Gyokeres alone can not be the force that will bring about arsenals ability to winning trophy. if that is going to happen, it will definitely come from all the players who will put in all the effort to see that they play better than they have been doing in the previous seasons. that mentality of sitting back when the season starts and doing nothing serious throwing away point that matter and later in the season struggling to recover those point is a major thing hey have to first deal with. if they succeed in dealing with that and can play together as a complete team, then the possibility of hoping for the league for this season will even be close to realistic.

Re: gambling in strict countries

I think that with the advent of online casinos, the question of whether or not to ban them becomes pointless. There are numerous ways to circumvent any type of control. It will only become a problem if the gambler needs to withdraw money, which, depending on the requirements, can be difficult if they have to prove their identity or country of residence. But surely, a solution will be found for that too!
it is even because of the issue of withdrawal that makes gambling platforms that makes use of crypto to become the solution to such hinderance that might arise if for any reason withdrawal of gambling funds becomes difficult. the only strictness that is possible is that you will not be allowed to gamble physically which will in a way reduce the number of gamblers that makes use of just physical gambling centers. apart from those physical gambling population who have gradually turned minority compared to others that have stopped using physical gambling for a while now, restrictions and regulations aren't working at all because once you close a source, gamblers will open more than three other alternative sources and still continue gambling.

Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

Of course, it is very important to gain proper knowledge before investing in Bitcoin. Investing without gaining proper knowledge is like going out on the road blindfolded and any danger can happen at any time. If you start investing without understanding how Bitcoin works, you will make wrong decisions at any time, such as deciding to buy from the wrong place or deciding to sell at the wrong time. In addition to proper knowledge, long-term investment planning, strategy, market analysis and patience are very important for successful investment.

Bitcoin investment, if you do not rush into it and are aware of the risks, planning a small investment can bring success in the long run. It is very important to understand when to invest in the market and when to sell, otherwise the risk in the investment increases a lot. You should wait patiently for the right time to buy or sell.
‎That is very true, I have  come to realize that now. When I first heard about Bitcoin, I thought it was just about buying and waiting for it to go up. But after starting, I saw there is a lot more process involved, like timing, planning, and understanding the market. I  have made some wrong moves, but I am also  learning bit by bit. I am beginning to see the importance of  being patient and not rushing into things... Small, wellplanned investments really do make more sense in the long run. I am just trying to build my knowledge slowly and stay consistent.
just like you, every investor has his own starting point when all they knew was just the information others feed them with and the little they also got from personal research. but that is just the entry phase, the main phase start when you actually buy bitcoin. once you start buying with the goal of holding your bitcoin and not selling it, you don't need to stress yourself too much regarding ;learning about some complex things about bitcoin or trying to do too much market analysis before you can buy as suggested @fredericktaylor. doing too much analysis when like determining the perfect time to buy or trying to know if you should sell once the price of bitcoin goes up will push you to reasoning like a trader that is just in for the short term gain of bitcoin.

no one can take out the place of getting proper foundational knowledge that will help you to remain grounded as an investor but such foundation knowledge include things like; knowing how to buy bitcoin, knowing how to secure your bitcoin, knowing the place place to secure your store your bitcoin, knowing the right bitcoin investment strategy that will work for you based on the peculiarity of your income and knowing how to stay invested for the long run while still managing other aspect of your life. once this is well figured out, you are definitely on a right track to get started in your investment journey.

 you might not know too much about the technical part of bitcoin and might not be too good at your speculation, those does not really affect your investment journey as a newbie because wether you know about them or not, it does not affect the volatility of bitcoin and so there is no way it will also affect it. it is just best to focus on things that matters to you and that will help you become a better investor, that is what will give you the best heads-up as an investor.

Re: Monitoring the market

I agree with you. Bitcoin’s volatility makes it tricky to trade, but DCA as a long-term strategy seems like a more reliable approach.

I couldn't agree with you because Bitcoin is not difficult to trade for instability. Because if you are an experienced trader, you will, of course, analyze the market and I think you will take the trade for a short time. And if so, then it would never be wrong to trade. Yes, it is true that those who do Bitcoin should be done in a long term so that Bitcoin can reach maximum. As an investor, the DCA method is very easy and popular to adopt. However, it is necessary to be very patient in addition to adopting the DCA method, then you will benefit later. And it is normal for the Bitcoin Market to always be unstable.
your point lacks a lot of coherency and thus it is conflicting itself to a very large extent. there are two scenario here, it is either you are investing in bitcoin or you are trading bitcoin. the downside with trading is that the seemingly unpredictable nature of bitcoins volatility can sometimes land you at loss which will be a major disadvantage to you. on the other hand, investing gives your asset a sense of security such that the degree of your exposure to loss is reduced. the DCA helps you not to over monitor the market and in the process give you an opportunity to remain invested in the long run. that is what is missing out with treading because for trading, you can never do away with having a close eyes on the market.

wether your are trading, investing, mining or doing airdrop, if you give up, na fuck up be that and na you loose. no aspect of crypto is easy and 100% guaranteed to yield profit but all of them have made people millionaire. same trading that some people are shouting that it is risky have made others millionaire. airdrops that some others have given up on because of doing project that have failed is still what some persons used to get the capital needed to start up their business. investing might seems to take too much time before the investor gets his desired profit but yet, whales keep coming into the system and are not regretting being a part of the bitcoin ecosystem.

the difference between the categories of people that either come in and give up so fast or that continues investing even after initial failure is in their mindset crypto in general might not be too simple but when followed the right way and all basic rules followed, it can bring about a rapid growth in the financial life of the individual.

Re: gambling in prison

the reason why gambling is prohibited tho is because it might escalate into fights if someone for example loses and doesn't pay their debts
the prison houses a lot of people that are hardened and that will not always agree to keep to their own side of the bargain. even if officially gambling is not allowed in prison, if it is allows to thrive, it will lead to a lot of fighting and chaos because of the kind of gamblers you will mostly find in prison environment. some local prison that have officers that are really corrupts can allow prisoners access to some form of gambling but the fun will be almost close to nothing because of how regimented the prison environment is.

Re: Betting on the impossible

Like in sports betting, do you sometimes just bet on an option that has very low chances of actually happening but seems fun to bet on at the time? Some people might do it for fun but what would be amazing is if it actually happened and you won.
some times the way we talk about this gambling for fun makes it look like gambling for fun is same thing as gambling foolishly or not being calculative with our prediction. as long as it is a form of gambling that involves money, there is nothing fun about gambling in a manner that has an higher loss rate. don't allow the thought of trying the impossible whyn you. it is only best to gamble on things you are at least sure of so you can at least be sure that you are the probability of losing is reduced to the lowest level.

betting on the impossible is just same as throwing your money into thine air because in most cases, even after you have placed a bet on ten consecutive impossible event, the reality is that the outcome that will come out well might be less than 5%.

most of the forum users here belongs to one or two of the sectors you just pointed out. even with how tough there schedule can be, they always find a way to still meet up with forum activities. with the way the forum works and the fact that you can use either your phone or system to engage in forum activities, it does not even matter if you are a business person, a government worker or an entrepreneur, as long as you are able to plan your time well, you will easily engage in the forum activities and still balance other aspect of your life and business.

business owners and most entrepreneurs have the most time to themselves more than those working for private institution and from what is the case, forum members that are in those sectors are the ones that will struggle more combining forum activities and their normal work.

Re: Banning gambling, would this solve the problem?
by
Hewlet
on 08/07/2025, 14:34:55 UTC

We all know that gambling is addictive by nature. No matter our financial status, anyone can fall into addiction. But is banning it entirely really the only solution?
And what could be the possible consequences if gambling were banned in a country? Can you share some thoughts or examples?
with the numbers of gamblers that we have around different countries, it is almost looking really impossible to completely ban gambling because of the resistance that will come with such move. of cause, the rate of youth addict is increasing so rapidly and no good nation will want to sit back and watch her man power being drained down without stepping up to intervene by creating laws that either reduces the rate of exposure to it or that if it be possible puts a total stop to it.

in my nation, plans like that have come up several times but have failed big time because of the outright resistance that always follows it immediately. with VPN available for gamblers to still access gambling platforms online even if it is restricted from being operational in her region, it is going to be part of the major challenge that such proposed plan will face.

the effect of the degree of exposure from the society is the primary thing that made me know what gambling is before you will even talk about whatever pressure that comes with seeing someone winning and then joining to play with the hope that you might just be the next lucky winner. growing up in an environment where unemployment was the order of the day and the majority of youth took into gambling as a means of survival, you certainly become left with no option than blending into what is just like the norm in the society and even if you might not gamble at the pace the ordinary person around you does, it just becomes clear that you have gotten fully involved just like that.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

on 08/07/2025, 14:12:18 UTC
[edited out]
IMO, it’s not just ignorance. People are just scared to start what they dont want to deal with in the long run. And for the fact that everything around bitcoin is different from what it was 2013-2015, beginners look back at it and dont know where to start.

A decent number of folks wrongly conclude that they are too late, and no one wants to be the exit liquidity of others.

Yet, at the same time, if they at least appreciate that their failure to buy bitcoin is only preparing for down, and they are failing to prepare for up.. then maybe they could be motivated to buy some in order to prepare for up. but part of the problem is that they think that they don't need to prepare for up, and they wrongly believe that they are not prejudiced if they don't prepare for up... which yeah, 5-10 years down the road or later, they may well come to realize how much they fucked themselves by continuing to fail/refuse to act to at least get started, even if it is just $30 per week.. even while we know they are easily capable to do $100 per week..

We can reach great financial freedom through small investments in technology-based and limited-supply assets like Bitcoin. Our inaction is often the wrong decision. Opportunities will be missed, and we will be responsible for our own unintended downfall. Those who don't start today will start tomorrow or the next day, and this mentality is holding them back. Market volatility teaches us to be patient, and investing over time will definitely bring real results. By investing in small amounts, we can enjoy the real results. It is possible to achieve great success only by starting small.
An average procrastinator always thinks that he(s) always have the whole time in the world to do whatever he wants but the reality is that such mindset always makes you to continue waiting and at the end, you will do little or nothing to make yourself better in terms of the amount of asset you will be able to accumulate. refusing to buy now for whatever reason you give yourself is a sign that in the long run, you might not be able to buy at all in the future.

if you think you are too late, that might be true but of what use is that knowledge when you cannot use that as a source of inspiration that will push you into investing aggressively? the goal of every investor should be to become better off than they were at the early phase of their investment, if you are late, get started, if you need to build your income to become strong so you can invest well, then do that as fast as necessary because there is never an amount of excuse you will put forward as an investor that will add to the quantity of bitcoin you intend accumilating.

As I said in my title, I wonder what you are feeling? I am trying to read some news about bitcoin today and all I see is about its price and how it is nearing the $110k resistance level and how everyone is speculating whether it can surpass said resistance level. I am sure that investors come from different places. Some may think that bitcoin will not yet surpass $110k this month or even the next while some may be feeling excited thinking bitcoin is going to hit $125k soon. So, I wonder what most bitcoiners are feeling right now?
Seeing bitcoin already above $109k and just speculating that it will get to $110k in few days time or eventually get to $120k soonest is something that's not even worth being tagged, speculation. Certainly, bitcoin will move past those price level even though when that will eventually happen is what we can't tell but it will certainly move past that phase.

What looked like a very tough resistance to me was waiting for it to go past the %100k mark, anywhere about the $100k won't be a big deal. It might just be one slow but steady movement but eventually, we will keep passing one ATH after another.

Who wants to win? I'm pretty sure these leaders are making plans to ensure they're safeguarded in the next election. They're incharge and in power so there's absolutely nothing anyone can do about it, we know the dangers involved and how rough these elections can be conducted in the country, funny enough the end game is rigging. INEC is a governmental body responsible for the electoral process in the country but I don't see them doing their job, they're just hesitated on bringing on some vital changes, they just stick to the plan to frustrates Nigerians.
One thing that is always certain about the coming election is that it won't be something different from the previous one that brought in the incumbent president into power. If while the current president hasn't been elected he was able to rig his way into office, do you think that there's a chance that he will not do same or even worse at a time when he can literally influence most institutions and agencies to his favour?

I don't see how possible an election can be conducted without the use of a permanent voter's card, if such ever happens, the rate of rigging will be too massive to an unimaginable degree.

How will they then dictate under age voting?
What happens if a single individual votes multiple times?
I believe this might just be rumors that will stand when the election finally comes because of it stands, it will only mean that rather than moving forward, we are actually moving steps backward.

From your experiences in gambling what are the best possible advise you would give to someone who is intending to gamble or to join gambling?  What are the best gambling markets you would advise people to join for instance (sports or casino) and if casinos what are the games you know is that easier to make winning, slot, roulette and ect.
Gambling is not a job! Gambling is not a job! Gambling is not a job!

If you take this in and allow it sink really in, you will not get it wrong in literally every aspect of gambling you're doing be it casino based gambling or normal sports betting. Of cause, the choice of either gambling on a casino or or alternatively gambling on sports games is entirely dependent on which of the games you're familiar with.  In regions where casinos are popular, it's most likely that most gamblers will tilt towards that side and in other regions where what's popular is sports betting like most part where members of the forum are from, it's likely that people will also prefer to gamble on sports. I do sports betting and that's because it's what's popular at my end. If every sports bettor but at my end and in every other place focus only on gambling for fun and not as a primary source of income, then the issue of gambling with an amount that if lost can't be retrieved won't be what most gamblers will be dealing with.
