Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread

He now has 48 goals in 45 games, impressive statistics. I wonder if he can play at this level for another 10 years? If so, he will easily beat Ronaldo's record at 150+ goals level (although Ronaldo continues to raise the bar, this should be taken into account).

The problem with this new ballers is that they don't stay consistent for long, he doesn't have the zeal that Ronaldo had. Ronaldo had something to prove and that's why he kept playing and also staying fit but for this new guys, any small hindrance, they have stop playing. Ronaldo will keep raising the bar, soon he'll get to 1k goals and close to 200 international goals. Ronaldo had the motivation of Messi chasing him and trying to prove he was better than him. This new guys gat no real competition that can stand the taste of time like the rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo. Their goals aren't that entertaining too so I don't see much fun following up. Haaland also have to start winning something with na nation before all the goals become useless.
This is just the concept of recent football players, being consistent and persistent is something not coming. Looking at the era of Ronaldo and Messi, we won't see anything like that for now, even though we see that, it will be a while. One thing about this two players is this, the ability to come back and play better, and the ability for them to improve their self more on the pitch, no matter the situation they face. And the competition they have. Competition between them has been something that has kept them in this peak they are today. In recent players, there is always the tendency to fade out easily, with no strong competition among their self.

For the early years Eirling Haaland has put, is a kind of magnificent, for his scoring goals ability is something strong that he needs to keep the pace with it. But I see, he that won't equal the goals of Ronaldo. The effort that Ronaldo has put, even with his age is something that should be study. At 40 and he his still scoring goals. Haaland needs to put more of his ability, if he wants to be equivalent or more than the peak of Ronaldo.

When I saw this image, it has a deep meaning to me than people realize..  It is the perfect reminder of how many persons live their lives waiting for the right time that never really comes. We say to ourselves, When I am ready, I will start.. Ready for what exactly? Ready to have the perfect salary? Ready to feel like an expert? Ready until the Bitcoin feels safe? The truth is, time does not wait for any of us, and while we are busy postponing action, life keeps moving forward…

You're very correct those that doesn't know the meaning would just see the picture very common not knowing that the picture is indirectly reminding us about a particular mistake that most people are making, and this mistake is now becoming too common as I have been seeing Alot of people repeating that same mistake.

However, this reminds me of the story about a brazilian man who has been collecting and selling cans to buy bitcoin for 2years, According to the author that  he's closing in on 1BTC.

Source: https://x.com/pete_rizzo_/status/1957092553674662344?t=qU7viJKVH1tbTLIaNapmTQ&s=19


That's to show that whoever that is willing to invest into bitcoin would definitely struggle in all means but not illegal means  to set up a discretionary income to enable him start the accumulation journey. so using a source of income or not being financially stable is just a way of giving too many excuses because I'm sure that this brazilian man did not have a source of income which is why he have decided to go into collecting of cans and just imagine how far he has gone in the accumulation journey, those who are still procrastinating and also giving too many excuses need to learn from this experience.
This is not just a story, and there is a reason why this message is passed in this here. Yeah, indeed most of us really need information like this, because it will not only entertain us, or educate us, but it will basically teach us the right mentality to go with. Seeing this message I realized that most of us might be thinking there is enough time for us to start what we ought to start earlier before this moment, but we just seem to procrastinate every moment we have.
Indeed there has been no perfect time for every successful man. There has been no best time to buy Bitcoin, and if we think there is time to invest in it, I believe it is the wrong step we are taking. Procrastinating has been the wrong step we have been taking and it has not been helping.
Most persons that are holding some amount of Bitcoin today, if we are opportune to ask how they started, we can tell that it has never been rosy. There has been a story behind every success.

Re: Reason to return to gambling after quitting
by
Sir_Garry55
on 10/09/2025, 06:30:23 UTC
I saw a post about someone returning to gambling after quitting for some time, maybe a year or more. But my concern is not more on the return to gambling, rather it is on the very question I am about to ask that requires your opinions if really we want to solve the problem of gambling and addiction into it

What could be the reason for his return and what can be done to manage such situation?

Biggest mistake is from quitting to returning, you were there with a pure living with out gambling then you will be back? thats not good.
But there are some who really wants to go back for fun, and for relaxations or after retiring in work.
But I hope! when anyone will return to gamble, they know the limit and when to stop, coz thats the very best to have.
I strongly believe that there is every man's reason to gamble for years and leave without thinking of coming back. After sometimes, boom, you are back in doing same thing you back out from. There is more information that is derived from this, and majorly I will say that, he stop gambling for sometimes but he didn't change his mentality on how he sees gambling. The biggest mistake to make is when one stop an habits and forget to change his mentality  about gambling. The first thing to do to swift away from an habits that seems disrespectful, such like being addicted to gambling is to basically work on your mentality. But the question is this, what is the mentality on how one sees gambling. Putting this as a reference to the information being passed, what is his mentality at first being a gambler. Some person's might say that many go back to gambling because they missed the atmosphere of being a gambler and how gambling was fun to them. Indeed some person's have this feeling as a gambler, not having the intention of being an addict, but when it is crossing that line, they quit. With all this fun experiences they have, they feel of going back to gamble.

 All this reasons basically lies on one's mentality on how he or she sees and take gambling to. It will be known that if one is quiting gambling, the mentality of doing so should be properly stated, to avoid returning back in doing something one have rejected for a while.

I'm totally In support of moving posts that are digressing from the discussion of a particular board if it was posted there, posts like that should be moved to off topic, it shows that an eye is kept on everything being posted and the writers would be more careful next time but In a case whereby it synchronizes with what is being discussed in that board why would it be removed?
That's impossible to say without seeing the post in question, and sometimes not even after seeing it. 

By the way, where exactlty was post in question moved?


I guess it's not based on the level or amount of merit the user has.
No.

Check his tag. Everything will become clear at once.

You speak as if there is no level to which one would change or improve.

Bitcointalk is an innovative platform that gives space for everyone to learn and also teach others what they know, no one is an island of knowledge, we are all learning from each other.
Teach others only if you are knowledgeable and have insights to teach and help them. Don't try to teach anyone when you are a newbie and have very limited knowledge or even misunderstanding about things you are teaching others.

If you try to do this, your posts are very likely useless and deserves to be deleted by moderators.

theymos wrote Forum welcome message which is helpful for you and other newbies.

I only talk about things that I'm knowledgeable about so I make sure I don't say anything inaccurate, in aspects that I'm not well versed I read, take notes and make research.
And I haven't had an issue with a deleted post, it was just moved

If you are familiar with this American artiste you would know that he is a big time gambler or you can just say he is addicted. People are amazed he won such an amount of money in a single day but I'm not because there's a high chance that he has lost up to that amount or perhaps more than that if you calculate his losses combined. This win might actually be a way to lure people into gambling, it's very possible that the casino allowed it to happen for promotion purposes. It could be a way of advertising their casino what do you think about that? It's just a random thought, It's also very possible that he just got lucky.

Room should be given for people who are coming up to grow instead of being discouraged. It took a lot of effort and hardwork for the senior members and every other high ranking member of the forum to get to where they are. An opportunity was given for it to happen, that same chance should be extended to those that are coming up now.

Re: Crypto Is Scam!!!

Crypto isn't a scam, the people who say this are the those who don't enlighten themselves about the market before investing. As we all know the market always goes through a dynamic fluctuation, the prices changes due to several factors. As someone who's into market analysis you are supposed study those changes and learn to take advantage of them. But what most people do now is that they skip the learning process and probably just copy trade of other people, after losing they will say It's a scam whereas they didn't really give in enough time to gaining knowledge.

Saying that every successful people had a mentor isn't really accurate, first of all you must understand that not everyone's journey to success is the same, some made it by believing in themself without looking up to anyone and there are some that had a mentor. Having a mentor isn't a criteria for success but most people believe that it can help facilitate the process which is true. Before picking someone as your icon you should be very careful so you don't end up having the wrong influence. It's easy when you are learning from someone else's experience, it saves you from making some certain mistakes, having a mentor can make life easier but it's possible to succeed without one.

It's never too late to buy Bitcoin, a lot of people missed out on it years ago and I'm one of those people but now I have a plan of investing whatever it is i can get. Most of us have the this Mindset that if we don't get the huge capital we need there's no point of investing. If you keep waiting for that huge amount of money you might just be waiting for a long time, invest whatever it is you have at the moment and as time goes on you can keep increasing and saving it up. But you must always plan to invest for a long term because short-term investment doesn't really profit much.

Re: Have self control over your Gambling Habits in 2025
by
Sir_Garry55
on 24/02/2025, 19:18:47 UTC
Self control and discipline is everything that can keep you in check as a gambler. We have all come to that point where we realize that we are going out of control and sometimes we tell ourself that we'd make a change but after a while the same mistakes are been repeated. Going through this cycle can be frustrating especially when you start again in a new year. Getting a grip of yourself and stopping this addiction can be quite difficult but it's not impossible, it's only going to take sometime, if you don't stick to the discipline that you are trying to cultivate then you'd keep relapsing. It's a new year and I want you to know that it's possible to make a change.

People need to understand that gambling is 50/50 and at the end of the day you can either win or lose. A lot of beginners think it's a money making scheme but that's not how it works. You must be ready to lose at any time, this means you should have emotional control. We have heard cases where people develop a heart attack after losing money in gambling, this shows that it isn't for everyone, if you are the type of person that's always tensed up after taking financial risks then you should avoid gambling by any means necessary, gambling is for those that are ready to lose.

Does online gambling lead to more addiction?
by
Sir_Garry55
on 01/02/2025, 19:04:10 UTC
Overtime online gambling has become very popular, many people prefer to use websites and apps to bet on their favorite sports and casino games. This has made gambling very convenient and easily accessible, it's actually why people get addicted to it. Anyone who has a smartphone won't see the need of going to a bet center to gamble. The world has gone digital, but is this causing more harm than good?. land based casinos and bet shops require you to leave your house but online gambling is available, people can gamble from the comfort of their home whenever and however they want. This has made a lot of people addicted, some started by staking low amounts but overtime they found themselves gambling with large amounts of money. Easy access to gambling websites can make it harder to stop and this might lead to a serious issue. Most people think they are in Control of theirself or just playing to have fun but they don't notice that it's turning into an habit. Online gambling has made more addicts than offline gambling.

When we are talking about skills they are in different categories, if it's not a high paying skill then you cannot become successful with it. I think business is most important thing to focus on and it's the best way to achieve financial stability. But starting up a business can be very challenging, it might take a long time for you to get the capital you need to start the business. In my opinion business is the most important thing. A skill on the other hand is just to keep you going and probably to afford basic things it can't be compared to having a business.

Gambling to recover money spent can lead to losses
by
Sir_Garry55
on 23/01/2025, 18:07:29 UTC
As gamblers we can all agree that one of the reason why  people gamble sometimes is to recover the money they spent on other things. Can anyone relate to this? I remember how this messed me up few months ago, I was owing someone a certain amount of money, after paying up I got tempted to try and get it back through gambling so I dived into the game. I ended up losing the rest of the money I had that were meant for other things. Gambling with this mentality would definitely make you lose because you are doing it out of desperation. This is a wrong way to approach gambling, it's not totally wrong to gamble for the purpose of making profit but gambling to recover the money you have spent might take you off balance.

Telegram airdrops are losing their value
by
Sir_Garry55
on 18/01/2025, 06:23:49 UTC
How many of us can remember when everyone was tapping on their phone continuously Just to make money, projects like notcoin, dogs and hamster Kombat made people think that getting paid by doing such tasks would happen consistently. As time went on a lot of other airdrops that started coming up were just a waste of people's time, energy and effort. Right now most of the ongoing projects that were once popular like Blum and the rest of them are losing value, a lot of people are no longer interested. If you want to farm reasonable airdrops I suggest that you stick to testnets, they might take time but your efforts won't be wasted. The bright side of these telegram airdrops is that they introduced a lot of people to the crypto space, beginners are now able to sell their assets on different exchange. To those who are still actively involved in airdrops this topic isn't meant to discourage you, keep doing it as long as you are getting results. But making good money from crypto can only be gotten by trading or hodling.

I don't think it's late to invest in Bitcoin, as a matter of fact this is the right time because the market is definitely going to move in a profitable direction within the next few months. I'm hoping to also Invest in Bitcoin this year, I'm waiting to get some capital but while waiting on that I'm still gaining knowledge first. As a beginner that is what I'm focused on now, many newbies seem to lose focus on the learning aspect and try to dive into the market but it doesn't work that way. It's not too late, if you have the knowledge on it and the capital fo ahead and invest.
