1021  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 02, 2022, 12:32:02 AM
Barcelona has done very well to bring him to Barcelona. I didn't think he would come, because from a sporting point of view it is a big step backwards from Bayern Munich to Barcelona. But his salary will make up for it. no one on that team has more experience scoring goals than Lewandovsky. He can certainly make the difference for Barcelona as others have indicated. But of course Real Madrid have Benzema at their disposal. In my opinion, he is still on a different level, and is also a bit younger, which is also not unimportant.
There was too much hype in this transfer but after having very few matches Robert Lewandowski performance done with all who were not happy with this transfer or feeling this is going to be terrible for him right now he is leading goalscorer in La Liga and most chances he is going to side by side with Karim Benzema for golden boat award with few more also having good chance like Morata and Griezmann even right now we are heading for fifth round, but things are clearly describing it's going to be very interesting season for many reasons, and we will have one of the best end for winner because right now Real Madrid is at top with 9 points, and they are going to face Betis in next round and Barcelona is going to visit Sevilla which is in terrible form, so anything can happen in this round Ream Madrid need to give their 100% for staying at top.

It was one of the games that we see the trio showing an impressive performance. Messi made 2 assists and Mbappe-Neymar duo scored one goal each. I'm saying duo but they are not a very good duo normally of course.  Grin  It still seems like there are some issues between them but I hope it won't last too long. Mbappe is acting like he is the owner of the team and it is a result of his unbelievable contract I guess. But this can just hurt the team in the long term. There are even still rumours about Neymar to join Chelsea.
It will not be optimal if in one team there are more than two great players because each will maintain an ego. For example, PSG.
PSG have always had the same problem between Mbappe and Neymar. Before Messi joined, Neymar also had problems with Cavani.
Hopefully they can give the best for PSG this season in Ligue 1 and UCL.
Having too many stars also create problems for teams like we have in PSG and this season is surely going to be vital for them as they bring new coach and now doing their best for having good results, but things are not going as we were expecting from them before start of this season now we are heading for first match day in Champions League and few hypes are also in media about Neymar and Mbappé which can bring troubles for PSG here both coach and management are very crucial for their success how they handle this all if they want to do better otherwise they are going to be down and out from Champions League if they are not going end things which are in media and creating problems for players in team for quality performance.
1023  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What do you think about the school lessons of gambling addiction? on: September 01, 2022, 05:28:25 AM
Perhaps they can talk it outside of school like with their parents on someone older than them? At least for me that is the case,
Some parents are just busy working and they forget to talk about important matters on their children so I don't see this as a bad idea. Kids can in fact get more motivated to listen if they see that they aren't alone but they have their classmates which are also listening on the same thing but I can see one disadvantage here and that is kids who aren't yet exposed in gambling, will get curious to know if what is it and they will try it. What if they themselves get addicted in the process?

although I have seen my father gamble, but I didn't follow him when I was a little. But they gave me lessons about gambling that I can't go play and understand the bad effects. So the education for me started at my own home and not in school. It's that when I grow up, have a decent job and that I was influence by one office mate to go to casinos, but I old enough that time.
I like the attitude you are showing there and also your father because I think some fathers will let their kids follow their path especially if their kids find out that they are into gambling and they confront them. You have waited to grow older and have your own source of living before you engage yourself in gambling. I won't worry with you now because for sure you still have a self discipline and won't become an addict later on.
1024  Economy / Economics / Re: The interest in Bitcoin in Turkey on: August 31, 2022, 09:19:13 PM
Interest in crypto among Turks, like the rest of the world, has increased over the years. But Turkey’s economic crisis has pushed millions of curious observers to actually sink their savings into Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins. The new converts aren’t simply drawn to the investment promise of cryptocurrencies, which are prone to wild, volatile price swings. They see virtual currencies as a potential store of value to shield their savings as the lira is roiled by routs that saw the Turkish currency lose more than 40 percent of its value last year alone.
Not like the rest because the adoption rate on other countries are slower compared to what is showing there by the turks even though crisis such as inflation are also felt globally. Maybe people on turkey is more open minded and willing to try new things even if they know that it can be risky but luckily they are right with their choice.

Many people already proves the positive effect of bitcoin and they encourage more people to do the same thing. I like this kind of mentality better not unlike to the others out there which will only depend on the government and sometimes they blame the government for the difficulties that they are experiencing.

I guess we all like to see new designs, it can be better fun with a new UI. These ones are about football, they are focusing on football lovers. I am sure we will see different themes in the future, as you said that depends on devs and their skills and plans!

I played "Penalty Manager" at Betnomi I think, they have a nice choice of similar games, some of them are very interesting!
Yes, because it's boring sometimes to see the same old design. If not because of the profit potential, I think people are not going to be forced to play on the same game. Was it the first time they do this? But if this became a success then chances are that they will repeat it by introducing other sports. That will be great since not all are into football games but some likes cricket, water sports, ice sports, and so on.

When it comes to slots with a football theme I tried a few of them before, now my choice leans towards megaways slots and the ones with more lines. When I am watching these football slots non of the images attracts me enough to try some of them.
Didn't new that there are similar slot theme before but maybe they are limited to a few gambling sites? Because I haven't noticed them on some of the sites that I browse. You aren't attracted to it because of the design? Or because you simply don't like the sport?

Ronaldo will soon depart from Manchester United according to his wish. Erik's vision for the new generation of players of Manchester United won't include Ronaldo, I think. Cristiano Ronaldo had wished to play for Chelsea but got turned down because he's old and not fit for Chelsea. But the recent game where Chelsea lost 1:2 to Southampton might change that. Chelsea is in no position to be demanding as their striker position is shoddy as hell. As long as Ronaldo doesn't go for Liverpool then I'm okay with that. A nice part away between Ronaldo and Manchester United, everyone's happy.
His agent was still trying various effort to attract chelsea to buy ronaldo. I saw that how hard his agent was trying. The problem is chelsea may also in hurry to bring back another striker from another club as well. The chance for ronaldo to join with chelsea is very small at this moment.
Im feeling doubt if that's gonna happen with ronaldo. How difficult ronaldo to get a new club. Sporting lisbon can also become the new club for him as long as he will be in free transfer which is impossible for now.
Ronaldo has no a lot of options for this. Many clubs have been rejecting him in a row.
Here I will be blame only Ronaldo because few weeks back there were few chances and Manchester United was also ready to allow him for joining any other club for one season with option he has to join back them if they qualify for next seasons Champions League this all was settled, but sadly he was not cutting his salary which is also the biggest problem for many clubs like AS Roma and Napoli they refused to play salary which is currently Manchester United giving and same happened here in Atletico Madrid with they were ready to give Antoine Griezmann but again here salary was issue with them as they finances were not allowing them to pay this salary and Ronaldo not cutting salary which is surely a big blunder from him for moving to any other club for playing into Champions League into this season.
1027  Economy / Speculation / Re: Why there is so much resistance at $23k price on: August 30, 2022, 08:19:40 PM
The price has continued to fluctuate over the past week and we have already seen that the price of bitcoin has dropped to $19k. But there is still a possibility that the price will drop back to that while the current bitcoin price has returned to $20k. We hope the price won't drop below $19k so it won't worry us too much. And hopefully, people out there aren't panicking or worried about the price movement either.
You are a hero member already. You are a big boy now so seeing you worry seems weird. If you are a newbie then I think that was still normal but for an experienced person like you, you should be happy once the price is dropping and some are panicking because you can fill your bag with more bitcoins. Like it or not, there is always a chance for the bitcoin price to drop again below the 20k and 19k levels especially now that mt gox are going to released the bitcoins from their old customers.

Pretty sure that many of them are going to sell their bitcoins because they haven't be able to do that long time ago due to that unfortunate event.

Exodus wallet? i've never hear of it between Exodus, Trush Wallet and Metamask who do you thing the best one? personally i love metamask and using alot of it in my laptop however they app in mobile phone is quite terible i should say, so while in mobile phone i'm switched to Trush Wallet because they are the populare one and have good interface and trush worthy, the problem is Trush wallet it seem they don't have web or extension that can run in chrome neither they website because it's seem they only focus to mobile App, so do you thing Exodus good in both side i mean do they easy to acess with mobile app and website?
Exodus was one of the oldest wallet although lately its fame have been overcome by trustwallet and metamask but between these two, old crypto users are still after exodus. For the battle between metamask and trustwallet I think my vote goes for trustwallet. I too tried metamask extension and then the app version but my experience is pretty bad.

The extension won't open properly sometimes and then their app is pretty slow but I never experienced those problems in trustwallet. Trust wallet don't have a web extension like metamask but you can always use their wallet connect feature when using a pc or laptop. It's still convenient though.

With an innings and 85 runs win over South Africa, England levels the series. There is a feeling of confidence in the English team now, and I believe they will not allow South Africa to bounce back in the decider match. In the second test, South Africa completely surrendered. However, all departments of the South African team need to be improved.
First test was dominated by SA and Second is dominated by England. I dont think England is in complete control over SA they have the capability to bounce back in third match. SA won the first test by an inning and 12 runs, this means they can compete with England. Never celebrate too early.
After having good fightback by England now most chances they will win third test and this series because they are at home, and they have good bowling squad even if we compare with South Africa then South Africa is much better, but they are on road, so advantage is going with home team and now England batting is also giving positive impressions which mean they can do better in third test which is going to play at The Oval.
 
Historically this is in favor of spin bowler but now how they have done nothing is sure we have to wait for updates about this because South Africa is having better spin in squad so with this they can go with fast bowlers option which is also not bad at all for them as their bowlers are doing much better than African.

I've heard of many people talk about cryptocurrency and its potentials all the time and at a point I begin to wonder if one can just depend fully on cryptocurrency as a means of livelihood.
Yes of course, if you are skillful enough and then you are also lucky to win most of your trades then you can probably survived day after day but if you think you don't possess that two qualities for a while, then you better not attempt to because your life can be in great danger.

You must first find a stable source of income like working in a real job e.g office jobs and then you can practice trading on the side on your free time. It is true that many people talk about crypto and its potential but those people didn't directly say to quit your jobs and depend on crypto full time. You know, cryptos are too unpredictable so you are not sure if you can take profits continuously.

At times we used to get opportunities to buy, making use of it lower the risk and increasing the chance of profiting in the short term. For now it is believed that the market will drop further by the falling weeks for different reasons. Few of which were the announcement of interest rate, ethereum merge, Mt Gox Exchange credits back bitcoin. These are just the major predictions, and the reality isn't assured.
What if you buy at high? I don't think you lowered your risk that way but there is a chance that you can earn for a short term, and it was when the price rise and you sell it but that's better than extending your hodling time since you only bought at high already and the price are now preparing to dump again. Each of us are different. Some defines buying opportunity when the price dips while some its when they have cash on hand.

Few reasons that you said are true and can cause the price to dip but there is only one there which is wrong and that is the eth merge. This was a positive event in case you did not know and this might counter other negativities in the market.

Real Madrid always seems to be able to convince me of a good chance to win every match. I'm not too worried about the improvement in Barcelona's squad, but I'm just worried that Real Madrid's high self-confidence can turn into disaster when the team slumps with poor performances. So far everything is fine, but I don't know how it goes as the competition seems to be getting tougher.

The toughest competitors this season are Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Sevilla. They are a tough team who can put a lot of pressure on Real Madrid, but if we can be consistent and focus on playing well then I don't expect many problems to come.
Most chances their current season is going to be in better shape because they have enough firepower and quality players for staying into good touch and give tough challenge to their opponents, even Barcelona is improving quality but still it's not easy time for both teams in middle of the ground with start most chances they will be on top but suddenly as they are selling few players many are feeling this could be not good at coming days but still we have to understand coach and management understand better things how they will handle this all.

In this season most chances we are going to have positions like this at the end of this season just one team is going to be out of top four as they have very poor start with three matches without win Sevilla, others are going to stay like this Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atlético Madrid and Villarreal these are teams to watch for title race.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 28, 2022, 08:25:55 AM
Both Juventus and AS Roma played very carefully, they prefer to secure their defense area and find a way to counter-attack. This strategy makes the match looks monotonous because there is not much variation in the attacking strategy. I think we already saw this many times every time we watched the team managed by Mourinho. But it is his special strategy, he doesn't whether it is monotonous or not. He only cares that it can be an effective strategy to win. Well, although Juventus got 1 point, it should be unsatisfied because they are playing at home. They ideally got 3 points for a home match.
Actually, in this match I expected a lot from Juventus, especially with Dusan's quick goal at the beginning of the first half. But after that they couldn't develop their game and just played passively with ball possession.
There were quite a few chances indeed in this match but only so few on goal which makes me feel this is monotonous.
Yeah, we are in early stages of this season and teams are still busy in their system and trying to bring players which give them better strength and quality, so we can't expect good results but still AS Roma is doing good in this season, and they have fair chance to stay at top fours because few teams are not giving results which were expected because of injuries and few already sell their quality players for big amounts which is also hurting their quality as well.

Juventus is good team, but sadly they are not giving their best and trying to have few more players which can fulfill their weak points before start of Champions League as now they have very tough challenge in both leagues so having quality players is must for compete in these both.
1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: August 27, 2022, 06:11:03 PM
Not sure about South Africa. They need to win at least 5 out of their 8 matches. And their remaining (Cool matches are against: Netherlands (2), India (3, in India), Australia (3, in Australia). They may easily win the two matches against Netherlands, but I am doubtful whether they may manage 3 wins from the remaining 6 matches.

And regarding Bangladesh and Afghanistan, they performed really well in the ODI super league so far. Bangladesh had series wins against West Indies and Sri Lanka. Afghanistan swept Zimbabwe, Netherlands and Ireland 3-0, while got occasional wins against other teams.
I still feel that the South African side would be able to get through as they have beaten India in the past and also Australia. Out of six matches, they can easily win 3. Bangladesh and Afghanistan are the weak teams out of those 7 who have already qualified. They won't be able to create any buzz when they play in World Cup.
I agree with you most chances South Africa will be last team with few chances for Sri Lanka as in last few matches they are not performing good and this is going to hurt their cause badly West Indies is already out Ireland is also not capable of beating South Africa, so we will have some challenge between these two teams where South Africa is well favorite with their quality and performance level.

After this Asia Cup and T-20 World Cup Sri Lanka is going to New Zealand which is surely going to be tough for them and South Africa is having eight matches which are giving them good advantage most chances they can win easily four or five matches which are enough for them to qualify into World Cup without any qualification.

This is just the beginning and we are far from the peak right now, it's going to get a lot tougher in every country - we'll miss the relatively calm, stable and good times we've been living in the past decade. Unfortunately Covid sent a lot of logistics chains out of whack, it was starting to look brighter as much countries came out of the pandemic 2 years later with a bit of a buffer built up for some people. Now the war that Russia started against Ukraine has caused all sorts of new difficulties. The saddest part of it all is how unnecessary it all is, Ukraine was moving towards a more free and democratic society, but Putin was offended that one of his cronies was ousted and decided to murder hundreds of thousands of people because of it.
I do not think that it will "go down" from here. There is a good chance that we could build from this. Whenever these "resets" happen, it comes out with a brand new company going super strong and the world gets rebuilt because people who ended up with some cash in that period that ends up with a great thing.

Think about it this way, if we could have people who have billions in cash right now go into business and start something new, they could have all the business, all the cheap workers, all the extras whatever and they could end up with something amazing. This isn't the thing they really want because bad economy is bad, but by the time economy gets strong again, they will be big already.
1036  Economy / Economics / Re: The Emerging Revolution of Cryptocurrency on: August 27, 2022, 12:28:08 PM
It is possible that the use of cash could be completely dissipated, although it would likely take many years for this to happen. To bring our aging population up to speed with the use of crypto currency, educational campaigns could be launched to ensure that everyone is aware of this new technology.
The emergence of crypto currency could be seen as a revolution of cash, as it has the potential to provide a more efficient and secure way of conducting transactions  Smiley
Ccash won't dissipate because it is not the same as cryptos. One is digital and the other is physical, both are needed in different situations. Also not all have the ability to use a crypto. Educational campaigns are already been there before, the government provides it. We have public schools but still not all are willing to study. Same thing could be expected when there are crypto classes.

Crypto is an evolution of cash. It is invented so that we will have something to use online since people seen the importance of the internet. Crypto itself did also revolve through the years. Right now, we already have cbdc's but this is likely to be ignored due to its centralized properties.

I think gamblers don't find them boring in this game as compared to other games. Other games which are computerized are very boring to me and the amount of enjoyment is very less for me on these games.  On the other hand when I'm playing poker with another player I don't feel boring here and this creates an another excitement and joy in every gamblers. So I think gambling websites are bringing more poker games as per the demand of gamblers
I think it depends on the person that is playing it. If you are a guy who like skill based games then you will enjoy it while for those who are less skillful they can find it boring. They will find their happiness on a simple game. What do you mean by computerized? All online games are computerized lol.

I think what you mean to say is randomized? What about plinko game? Or slot game? They are both randomized but they are fun even for a person who already preferred skill based games. This is due to their graphics and gameplay. Most crypto sites focus on wide range of games not only poker but for non crypto gambling sites, they can focus more on card games and poker can be the main star.

Since my wallets got hacked, I have been inactive in the crypto world, especially with this bear market. But the advice I would give you is to buy the top 10 coins or tokens in the top of coinmarketcap or coingecko. They have assured or backed up communities and no one is going to rug on you (at least for now). That means Ethereum, BNB, Bitcoin etc are good
Ouch sorry to hear that but I am curious if how much money you have lost? For now I can only say it's huge because you leave the crypto world after that. You got discourage but since you are here posting, I assume that you are fine now and ready to start again? Well you better do that because it is not too late yet now that the price is dumping again.

I like the advice that you have given there. That is like a golden rule already for investing in cryptos. The chance to get rugged on them is slim but we shouldn't be fully confident. It is still important to always monitor your investments. Make it a habit to check their price, news updates about them, or news in general so that you will know if what is coming.
1039  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin Longterm Price Target on: August 26, 2022, 05:56:23 PM
Predictions will only remain speculations until they are proven correct and are already happening. So for me, it’s useless to keep on predicting the future price of bitcoin because no matter how high we predict, the price will still be greatly influenced with the worldly economic status. Instead, we should focus more on buying and storing bitcoin in our portfolio while the price is still cheap so that when bitcoin price surges and reach its new all time high, everyone will be benefited and reap huge amount of profits.
And the only way to know if the prediction is correct is when the results are already laid out. Some will got it correctly but it does not mean that they have a special ability when it comes to predicting. It's just that what happens is only a co incidence. Predicting might be useless to some but for me it isn't but I think predicting makes this crypto game more exciting.

This can kill our boredom and there are even some which offer a betting for it. People who do predictions, will not disregard buying and as well as selling as these two are the main essentials here but they will only set aside some funds/coins in preparation for their predictions.
1040  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: taking out a loan for a sports bet (UPDATE) + fixed match on: August 26, 2022, 02:45:33 PM
Its really a big mistake and people should really be that mindful whenever they do have some loans specially on paying it back so that they wont really be end up on a big debt or much deeper problems later on.

Taking out some loan just for you to gamble is really a big risk thing to take on someone specially if you dont have any others sources or way for you to repay back those loans or debts.

Fixed matches information arent real most of the time or cases because these information cant really surface out easily or legitimately thats why dont ever believe that there are ones
who do claim out.
Yes, it will cause problems if they take loans just to play gambling. But some people take loans, say to the bank, they use the loan money for urgent needs, but they will not use all of it, while they will use the rest for other things. From here, they will see that there is free money and end up using some money to gamble.

So taking out a loan might be risky but if they believe in what they are doing and can pay back the loan, I think they can move on. But as much as possible, avoid borrowing money before we realize the risks, especially if it's for gambling.
That is if they will gamble without any experience and will only try their luck for the last time but for the op, he seems very confident to win the game because he got an insider info. He can try to take a loan and see if he can double or triple the money in an instant. He just want to make sure that he will pay the loan that he take immediately before he spend the money again in gambling because his luck may not be the same as last time.

For those who loan and use the money on other things and not in gambling, I think that's more better because they will surely see what they spent not unlike to gambling where there's no guarantees.
