Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)
by

on 29/07/2025, 07:06:38 UTC
I think this year will be a very intense one, we will surely see a decline from Inter who will have a crazy decline, and Napoli who instead will insist on winning another scudetto, but in my opinion the real surprise this year will be Como, mark these words Cheesy
A friend of mine here also said the same thing as you. One of the surprises that will occur in the upcoming Serie A is COMO. But I understand the reasoning, because last season, when this team was newly promoted to Serie A, we immediately saw that they were able to fight well and even managed to finish in the top 10. And what's really interesting about Como is that their squad depth is actually quite average. But their coach, Cesc Fabregas, really got this team playing to its maximum potential. So last season, Como surprised us all a bit with their performance. Moreover, their attacking style of play always managed to overwhelm even strong teams. I think Como will be able to stay in the top 10 again, but I'm not sure about any other surprises.



However, in preseason, we also saw Como perform well in every match. And hopefully, they can do the same in the actual season.

That's right, Como played great as a new team last season and is in the top 10 with great performance. It is true that they do not have any star players in their team, but Como coach Cesc Fabregas has developed players through his hard work and skill. Como players are becoming aggressive in the match, which is causing problems for many big teams. I believe that Como players can bring more surprises in the coming season. Because looking at their performance last season, it can be said that they have developed into a skilled team.

Re: Gambling games where skill is actually involved and you can be 'pro' at it?

on 29/07/2025, 06:24:23 UTC
Any skill based game should have few professional players. However, I feel that a professional gambler is that person that can control his gambling activities by gambling responsible and limit his losses. On the other hand, if you feel that a professional is someone that wins more than losing in the long run, I don't think that we have someone like that. This is because, he will definitely be an addict which kills all the skills, fun and profits.

An addict may not possibly be losing the skills if they are also professionals in that field and happen to have more wins than losses. If they’ve lost those skills, then they won’t be called professionals because it’s the skill that makes them to be called one and not just by their addiction to it. However, some may still call themselves professionals because they’ve achieved more wins than losses in their games with no skills but just luck upon luck. So being a professional or addicted gambler, a skilled or luck based gambler all still falls back to how consistent you win and limit your number of losses in the overall game.
From my long term observations and experience in gambling, no one can win consistently in the long run. Which is the reason why I said that there's nothing like a professional gambler, if we want to judge a professional gambler based on his profits in the long run.

You seems not to get the message. If you gamble excessively because you feel you are very skilled in the game and making profits, when you become an addicted gambler, addiction will control your lifestyle and you will lose everything that you have won making your skill useless because you are no longer in control of your senses.

Right, no matter how skilled a gambler is, if he does not have self-control, then there is no point in becoming a professional in gambling. If a gambler uses his skills and experience to gamble excessively and keeps winning, then he will gradually become addicted to gambling. We should adopt some strategies to maintain self-control over ourselves, such as setting aside money and time. Keeping gambling money away from our necessary expenses and taking time off after repeatedly winning. Not seeing gambling as a part of life and playing for fun and not for profit, will greatly reduce the chances of becoming addicted.

The White House will release its first crypto policy report this Wednesday, July 30.



A big moment is ahead, how much the government thinks about Bitcoin, how much change the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve will bring, it remains to be seen. From my point of view, the use of Bitcoin is very important for a fully economically strong country and to protect against inflation, so the government will not take any decision that will negatively affect Bitcoin.

The main purpose of creating Bitcoin is freedom. a person will store his own money himself. this will not require a third party. he will withdraw it whenever he wants or send it to someone. the main goal of personal freedom . Bitcoin was not created to destroy the main economy of a country, but rather it is an alternative way to protect themselves from inflation.

It is true that people consider Bitcoin as digital gold because its supply is 21 million. It is true that there is no possibility of future increase in supply in Bitcoin. It is much easier to collect and hold Bitcoin in long-term investment. nothing extra is needed to start investing in Bitcoin, such as knowledge or money. It is very important to have some basic perspective, basically having a prudent income is enough. It is true that an emergency fund should be kept for a long-term investment because it is necessary to deal with unknown dangers. If you can continue investing patiently, you can achieve success in the future.

Re: What is the cost of your mistakes?
by
fredericktaylor
on 27/07/2025, 06:15:23 UTC
I assume that people come to the gambling industry as inexperienced people. And in the process of their activities, they gradually learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, some of these mistakes are dramatic and cause us quite serious psychological trauma. As a rule, this is due to gross errors and stupid persistent beliefs that push us to the edge of the financial abyss.

First of all, this is risk management and money management. The second is probably unsystematic play. Let me make a reservation that I do not mean casinos, as well as people playing "for fun". I mean sports betting.
So, how much did your mistakes cost? Did they cause you a serious psychological blow? What were your mistakes, did you learn from these mistakes and do you apply this knowledge in practice now? Were these mistakes simply painful, dramatic or catastrophic?
Every gambler spends a different amount of money on the gambling experience. Usually, they don't feel the loss and take losses for granted, but when they lose more, that's when the problems begin. Gamblers who lose a lot of money tend to push themselves to recoup their losses and will try as often as possible to win it back. They don't realize how much money they've spent trying to recoup their losses - they only realize it when their bankroll is low and they're facing financial problems.

I've never counted my losses so far - that's because I only play for personal, temporary enjoyment. I don't spend much money on experience - sometimes it's just an attempt to understand how the game appeals to me. I consider winning and losing normal - nothing more, but there are times when the urge to gamble comes when days are boring.

Right, never consider gambling a part of life. Gambling is not for profit, but for fun. One mistake while gambling is to bet again and again in the hope of getting back the money you have lost. Gambling should be started with money that will not cause financial problems if you lose it. Some strategies can be adopted to maintain self-control. Setting time and money boundaries, separating the gambling funds from the money we need, and taking a break after winning repeatedly while gambling is a wise thing to do. Adopting this strategy makes it possible to maintain self-control over yourself. I have lost very little money while gambling because I had self-control over myself.

It is an embarrassing result for Ten Hag and his team for allowing themselves to be trashed by Flamengo U20 team, this is a youth team we are talking about. It might not be an important game but Such results are not good for the team morale especially before the season kicks off. It is obvious they need to improve and do better next season, Ten Hag also needs to prove Manchester United wrong for sacking him by getting good results next season.
I actually do not see it as embarrassing enough,  I even feel it has some intentionality in it, maybe they used that to get the team ready for the season and they actually did not take that game serious enough to want to win, in as much as I will not want to judge this game, I still think Ten Hag has to improve with his tactics and his technicalities so that by the actual season he will be able to get the team in their best form and get team in their best form to be able  to deliver the kind of results and possibly win trophies as expected of them.
I hope that we don't see such an ugly performance when the league starts because I don't see why an under 20 team would win Leverkusen and you said that Ten Hag is only on experiment. However, I don't judge a team performance with the preseason matches, because they wouldn't bring out the best in them when playing on the field. I believe that Ten Hag will put Leverkusen back to standard.
When the season starts and Leverkusen takes the field in the first match of the new season, their main plan will start and it will be understood from then on how this team can actually perform overall. There is a lot of discussion and criticism about the change of manager and most football fans are of the opinion that Leverkusen will not do well under the current manager but will end the season with a bad experience. In fact, there is enough reason for the fans to think like this, this manager has previously served Manchester United for a long time and even after serving Manchester United for a long time, he could not improve the team's condition even though the club gave him financial freedom to buy players as he wanted, then he could not do well. Now how good he will actually do in the new club in the new league is also a matter of concern.

It is true that when the new season starts, it will be seen how well the Leverkusen players perform on the field. When a match starts, it is completely understood how much the players have adapted to the coach. However, fans are making different comments about Erik ten Hag. Most football fans are of the opinion that Leverkusen will not do well under the current manager, but will end the season with a bad experience. When the Leverkusen players take to the field, it will be understood how suitable Erik ten Hag is for Leverkusen. Now it is a matter of seeing how much the players can learn from him in the new league and at the new club.

Re: Buy Buy Buy or Sell Sell Sell?

on 26/07/2025, 06:01:01 UTC
Even 15 years ago, we only thought based on assumptions and research that how a new technology affects people and how people accept it, but those ideas are now being implemented in reality, especially in the crypto ecosystem or in the case of Bitcoin, various large corporate business organisations, investors and ordinary users of the world have entered a game and are following each other, and this decision is gradually making Bitcoin more acceptable to the common people and making Bitcoin a pioneer.This is called game of theory where one person's decision affects another.

Now new investors have learned how small investments can become large at a time.They have also understood that they have to take risks consciously and not by imagining, and not a large part of their income or bonus, but that part is investable, which if lost will not disrupt their lifestyle. Now they have also understood that investment is never a matter of emotion, but it is a matter of planning. Many people may still be regretting why they didn't invest in Bitcoin two-three years or five years ago. My advice to them is that now is the time, buy and keep buying, be patient, one day you will get good profits from it and BTC will become a future asset.
New investors still needs to diversify and stay informed because it’s crucial to managing risk effectively.
Newbies don't need to diversify since they still need to accumulate a lot of Bitcoin stash to their wallet. They can diversify in the nearest future but not at starting point of investment. Because that will cause distraction. They need to accumulate a much as possible before even thinking of diversification. Those newbie that started diversifying into different asset together with Bitcoin end up becoming confused or where unable to buy and hold some amount of tangible starsh. Bitcoin is volatile and should be focused on and not diversifying. 

focus on the present and future because will keep rising and other cryptocurrencies.

We are not talking about cryptocurrency here but Bitcoin precisely. I guess you don't even know what you are referring to, if it's Bitcoin or altcoin.

Right, there is no need to diversify for beginners when starting Bitcoin investment. If they want to diversify at the beginning of the investment, they will face various confusions, which may make investing in Bitcoin seem like a hassle to them. There is no need to take extra knowledge or time to start investing in Bitcoin. Basically, it is important to have a certain prudent income. Continue investing with a long-term plan in mind. It is much easier to manage an investment for a long time if a special fund is created keeping in mind unknown dangers in the future. We are ignorant about the future, so investing quickly and being patient for the right time can lead to success.

Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2024/2025
by
fredericktaylor
on 26/07/2025, 05:18:47 UTC
Most likely next season is going to be a really though one because I see that all the top teams are making attempts to strengthen their squads with the kind of signing they are making already,  Chelsea will not win the premier league easily that is if they are able to win it but most likely they may not win the premier league because I doubt if they have the capacity to knock out other top teams and get the trophy by the end of the season.  For me Liverpool and Arsenal are my most anticipated to have the title.

The season will be more difficult than last one because the seriousness we are seeing from the bigger teams indicate that those smaller teams will be punished if they attempt to make them lose points especially Chelsea and Manchester City. I see the Citizens as one of the teams that will cause much problems this season including Chelsea that's if they keep up the same energy they did in the just concluding FIFA Club World Cup, that speed they had from the attacking department is so great that is one of the reasons I can't wait for next season to start. I think Liverpool and Arsenal can't get the job done because things we expected of them can't happen, well we only have few weeks to find out.
Is like you are observing what am observing from many teams in this summer,  it will make premium league competition difficult for some teams that do well last season. Not only Chelsea and Manchester City that will have such energy to distract other teams, even Manchester United will going to surprise people in this season once their coach is done with what he is planning to do to sign some young talented players, I know that many people are aware of Chelsea preparation towards this season, but it will surprise some people what they will see before the end of many tournaments, if Chelsea will be able to win premier League and other titles because there are still some weakness in their defense level that will make Chelsea to loose some matches and win some matches.

You are right, many teams are preparing very well this summer. The Premier League competition is expected to be much tougher than before. Manchester United's Erik ten Hag is expected to change some tactics. If the way ten Hag is planning is implemented correctly, then Manchester United's young talented players are expected to bring surprises. It is true that Chelsea are doing very well, but some new players have come in, they lack experience and consistency, so the competition for Premier League Chelsea will not be as easy as before.

Re: What is your point of no return?
by
fredericktaylor
on 26/07/2025, 04:24:09 UTC
As the questions says, when do you stop? your point of no return?

a. at least double your money, then stop
b. you only stop when you have lost all your bankroll money and then blame the casino?
c. or you are a superstitions gambler, when you have signs like losing 3 straight in a row, then you quit because you know that you're having a bad luck
d. you stop when you are at least break even

I didn't include chasing your losses as obviously you might to continue.

A real gambler will never give up gambling. A real gambler knows that losing is part of the game and there is no need to be discouraged. A real gambler knows where to stop and where to start again even if he wins repeatedly while gambling. Those who do not have self-control over themselves always make wrong decisions and repeatedly face financial losses. We should stop gambling sometimes to keep control over ourselves, if we continue gambling in one way, it increases the chances of losing our money many times, so it is wise to set aside time and money before starting gambling. In order to manage gambling properly, it is wise to create a fund to deal with unknown dangers and this means keeping it separate from our fixed expenses and always maintaining our self-control while betting.

Re: Your best advice regarding Cryptocurrencies
by
fredericktaylor
on 26/07/2025, 03:43:27 UTC
My best advice about cryptocurrency is to take your time and choose the right coin wisely before investing. Many newbies, either without understanding or driven by the hope of excessive profits, have chosen to invest in Shitcoin, only to find within a few days that the price of Shitcoin has slowly started to decline and is not expected to increase in the future. It is a coin created by fraudsters. Fraudsters bring different coins to the market and their prices vary. Many new investors start investing without checking the coins and think that it is possible to get rich quickly by investing a small amount in Shitcoin.

I think their decision or plan is completely wrong because cryptocurrency is not a get rich quick scheme. You should make a very careful decision before investing in cryptocurrency, one wrong decision can cost you all your money, so it is wise not to invest in shit coins. It is true that we do not know anything about the future, so start investing in crypto with some coins that have the potential to make a profit in the future. To be profitable by investing in cryptocurrency, it is wise to have specific knowledge, market analysis, strategy, long-term investment plan, and wait patiently for the right time.

Do not consider gambling a part of life. Do not gamble with the hope of making extra money from gambling. We see gambling as a way to have fun. Start gambling with some money that you will not face any financial problems if you lose money. Before starting gambling, create a limit for yourself, such as setting a time or money limit, so that you will have self-control over the amount of loss or yourself. It is very wise to keep extra funds for gambling separate from important expenses. We should keep our emotions and greed in check while gambling by keeping reality in mind. It is very important to create a habit of taking time by losing or winning repeatedly.

Rodrygo is indeed a very good player, as has been proven, but securing a starting spot is very difficult due to the fierce competition in Real Madrid's attack. Therefore, it would be better for Rodrygo to move to another team, as it would be in the best interests of his future career.
Rodrygo is still quite young and has a long career ahead of him at Real Madrid. If he is patient and continues to improve individually, I'm sure he will gradually earn his starting spot, although there are many rivals for a key role at Real Madrid. Xabi Alonso's journey in the Champions League will certainly be challenging, as many teams are now starting to make changes to strengthen their teams in the competition. The first season won't be smooth sailing, as Xabi Alonso may need to adjust.

Yes sir you are right. If Rodrigo works hard during this time then he can go a long way. For example Real Madrid often likes young players. Rodrigo is still young and if he tries his best then he can become a very good player. But yes he will have a lot of competition but if Rodrigo gives up everything and concentrates on the game then maybe it will not be too difficult for him. There will be competition and you have to give your best for the team.

Right, Rodrigo has a lot of talent if he can continue to work hard with patience he will make a good position in the future. Rodrigo is a young and fast player I hope he can make a good position for Real Madrid. Rodrigo's path will not be so easy because there are many other players working hard to maintain their position. I hope Rodrigo will become a good player in the future.

Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL!

on 25/07/2025, 02:22:41 UTC
The reason why some people panic is not because they don't know the volatility nature of Bitcoin but rather the reason why most people panic is because of wrong investment approach, especially those who are Investing for short term, once they invest more than they are suppose to invest because of the feeling and hope that the price will go up and unfortunately the price start dipping they will surely panic because they have made a very big mistake and that is the reason why we should not invest for short term and should not also invest with what we can not afford to let go because it will make one to be monitoring the market which is a stress and waste of time.
You are right about what you said here,  just you have said already, the two things that makes a bitcoin investor panic anytime their is a dip in the market first is either that person is a newbie that knows nothing about bitcoin and it volatile nature or that person is investing what he cannot afford to lose, but if a newbie investor has knowledge about bitcoin and it volatile nature, and he is investing an amount he can afford to lose, he will definitely not panic anytime their is a dip in the market.
It shouldn't have been an investor in the first  place, because you are talking about a trader. How can you say the two things that can make an "investor panic".do investors panic? That statement alone has has completely ruined the explanation. because investors don't panic. This surely mean you are referring to a trader in replacement of an investor.

There is no such thing as panic or fear in long-term investment because if the investment is managed keeping in mind the time frame of 10 years or more. The supply of Bitcoin is 21 million which can never be increased and with time the process of mining new coins is getting more difficult so the supply of Bitcoin will gradually decrease and the demand will increase many times. This means that the price of Bitcoin will increase with time. So it is very clear that if the price of Bitcoin increases or decreases at present, there is no possibility of panic in the case of long-term investment.

But in business it is different. In business, if the price of a product increases or decreases, the possibility of panic increases many times. If the price of a product increases, the possibility of losing customers increases many times. Because as the price increases, the demand of the buyer may decrease. If the price of my product decreases, the buyer may feel that the quality of the product has become worse than before, which creates a kind of chaos in the market, which can reduce the demand of the buyer. Therefore, the amount of panic increases many times in business, not long-term investment.

You do both payments one after the other and your wallet immediately shows both Payment A and Payment B as pending. After an hour you refresh your wallet Payment A is still pending but Payment B is gone It's no longer in your pending transactions list and  it is not your confirmed transactions or balance.

After refreshing your network on your phone the 0.05BTC you tried to send for Payment B reappeared in your wallet balance making it look like it was never spent You're a bit confused thinking probably there was a network glitch. Then you resend Payment B with a higher fee than before and it says pending immediately.

After an hour You check again.
Payment A is still pending
The resent Payment B is also still pending
Your wallet balance still reflects the 0.05BTC for the resent Payment B as if it's still available even though your wallet says pending. Suddenly a new block is found and confirmed on the Bitcoin network and your wallet syncs up.

Miners rejected the transaction because the fee paid to the network to complete the transaction was lower than the acceptable amount, so the transaction was rejected by the nodes from the mempool. To reduce the congestion of the mempool and to increase the transaction fee, the low fee transactions are rejected from the mempool so that the high fee transactions can take their place. And when the transaction is rejected from the Mempool, the wallet no longer shows pending because the transaction is no longer in the mempool. I think this is what happened to your transaction.

Again your wallet is back through Unspent Transaction Output because the miners rejected it and had to increase the fee again to make the transaction.

Bitcoin is not yet legally legal in Ghana, with the changing times, the demand for Bitcoin in the country is increasing, the young generation and digital innovation enthusiasts are turning to Bitcoin. Therefore, the government of Ghana has decided to legally issue a Bitcoin license. They are working to develop the country and increase the opportunities for the people to use digital assets. If Bitcoin is officially recognized in Ghana, the general public will have the freedom to invest in a new digital asset. The government of Ghana believes that this step is an easy way to use digital assets as a tool for economic and other purposes. For more details, visit the link below.

Bangladesh and Pakistan T20 series 3 matches. In the previous two matches, Pakistan's bowling and batsmen could not show good performance. Pakistan will try their best to win today's match because their confidence is for the future of the players and to protect the honor of the country. If Pakistan loses today's match, they can fall far behind in the international T20 rankings. If they lose today's match, the careers of many Pakistani players will be under pressure. So today's match Pakistan will try their best to win by any means.
