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.

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.

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.

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.
1087  Economy / Gambling / Re: Poker tournaments why tournaments in other games on: August 27, 2022, 07:42:23 AM
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.
1089  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.
1090  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.
1091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should Employers Screen Applicants for Problem Gambling Before Employment? on: August 26, 2022, 07:24:09 AM
No...? I mean, if employees were able to steal money from their companies, I'm pretty sure they're just that skilled (if you can call it a skill), addict or not. Let's not even mention that identifying an addict in itself would be rather difficult, but in the first place, any employee can steal from their companies if they were skilled enough and they wanted to. These are similar cases related to gambling but there are probably a whole lot more other cases not even related to gambling. I'd rather make companies actually improve their security against outsiders and insiders.
They are skilled thieves if they manage to steal and never get caught not even on a surveillance camera. Not all who do stealing are addicts but each of them has a different reason. There's that they steal for the sake of their family but if I were them I won't do that because they are already working on that company, which means they can earn money already. If they really need a money and it's still a long way to go before their pay check arrives, they can always do a cash advance from their employers.

I am sure that every good employers will always agree with that, only to retain their workers. I think there are no rules from screening an applicant so the op's idea is always possible to conduct.
1092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: August 25, 2022, 08:15:42 AM
The squad for Asia cup was announced almost two weeks ago and Kohli has been included. The team will be lead by Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul will be the vice-captain. Now this is going to be a very crucial tournament for Kohli. If he fails to perform once more, then selectors may take some drastic step such as excluding him from the T20 World Cup, which is due in a few months from now. There is going to be tough competition for the #3 slot in the batting order. Suryakumar Yadav and Deepak Hooda are in excellent form.
Giving Virat Kohli another chance in Asia Cup is surely not wise decision from selectors but still we have to respect this because they know better ground realities and can manage better because I am personally feeling they need to give him some more rest and then giving him chance in T-20 World Cup is much better for him and team because he needs more relax and good environment if he still wants to go with his international career full fledge.

Now, we are heading for Asia Cup T-20 here for me in current shape India is hot favorite because they are coming with their full strength and their batting lineup is also in good shape so most chances they are going to win this cup eight time and this is going to be very good for them before T-20 World Cup which is going to play in Australia in October.
1093  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will the price of bitcoin rise again? on: August 24, 2022, 08:29:05 PM
One thing to mention in particular was the bear market a few days ago. Then the price of Bitcoin has decreased due to the market being down. But now, despite being in a bull market, why is the price of Bitcoin decreasing now? Hope the experienced will tell.
No dude, the bear market didn't start few days ago but it started ever since last year, specifically on the month of December if my memory serves me correctly. Obviously when there is a bear market the price of btc and all the cryptos will then go down to an extremely low level. As of the current moment we are still in a bear market.

You know when it was bull market already when all the cryptos are pumping high, and exceeding their last all time highs. There was a small increase that is felt in bitcoin last week where its price rose up to 24k but unfortunately it decrease again down to 21k. I really don't know the reason why but don't worry, this soon all shall pass.
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 24, 2022, 06:58:12 PM
Big investors for other teams are about the Premier League, but here in Ligue 1, no one will dare to do this, because what's the point? They will have to invest a lot of money, even a very lot of money just to win Ligue 1? It's not prestigious, no one will do it, big investors will go to strong leagues to feel the full taste of victory. And PSG can beat teams in Ligue 1 by scoring 5 or even 10 goals in each game, the championship will not become more interesting from this.
Still not have big investor want to buy or invest with Ligue 1 team except PSG only because less values and not really popular with Ligue 1 compare other competition like Primer League or La Liga and Serie A. After several years acquisition with PSG until right now still not have new bigger investor want to make Ligue 1 become competitive league. I think without popular exactly there are not have much money and make several investor not really excited with Ligue 1 competition. Keep label as farmer league with Ligue because until several years later PSG as the king of Ligue 1, have healthy financial and always dominance with several star player on their team squad, different with other Ligue 1 participants.
As we all looking currently this Ligue 1 is completely dominant by PSG and no other club is in good shape in quality and finances because they have not enough marketing sources for this which are most important if you want investors and English Premier League is at top in this with their many aspects here in France Sports Authorities need to check few issues and they surely they need to improve quality of French League if they want some big investors right now situation is not ideal as they have no good return of their investment, and it's not prestigious like The FA Cup or Premier League.

Now as technology is spreading they also can do much better than current situation and bring some good investors, but they want better return to have some good aspect which help them for having quality results and other few things in this league.

The formation of two striker and four midfielders in my opinion is quite suitable for Juventus, but the situation doesn't support considering that Federico Chiesa who was previously expected to be Vlahovic partner up front has not been able to be present on the field, while coach Massimiliano Allegri cannot continue to use Di María in front because the midfield also need his contribution after Paul Pogba was injured and couldn't enter the field. So I think the problem for Juventus at the moment is the lack of strikers, even though there is Moise Kean but still need a replacement.
Just after two matches surely we are missing few things from them, and they need to work on these as time is running out, and they have to do this all quickly otherwise they can suffer again in this season like they have in last season Vlahovic is alone in better shape, and they need Deepay for better shape they were in talk with Barcelona but suddenly all stopped which is wired because right now they need him at their front specially after Paul Pogba injury with they can't go with Di Maria at front he is best for this position.

Allegri is surely working on this all, and we will have some good news about this as well in coming days because right now they are completely down and not able to fight for title race against Napoli and Inter which are complete package for this season with their best attacks.

I don’t believe that DLS will ever be replaced unless the big 3 collectively put in a request, but since they haven’t made any such requests I feel that it’ll continue as it is. Lastly I feel that DLS adds an sense of excitement especially for me, because I know that teams will now have to go out of their way to win and I understand at times it may not be what fans want, but I yet feel it should be retained despite all the negativity surrounding it.
I agree here with you because it's most balance's system which is working in cricket for long time, and we have no big concern about this from any country, specially after incident which declare England as winner in 1992 Cricket World Cup where South Africa were favorite to win, and they lost their golden chance for winning World Cup.

On other side if they want to end this DLS system we have only one other option which is not going to implement because it needs too much money which is not possible for most of the cricket boards, it's we can play under roof which is only other suitable option but still we can go with this DLS as it's good and fair for all and most of the cricket world is happy with this.

Hydrogen has one advantage, it can be generated from excess energy on the grid
True, but to do that, you'll need much more hydrogen generating capacity, and much more solar/wind farms. And still, that doesn't cover the energy needs in winter.
I think you missed the point about storage, you can store hydrogen just as you store natural gas, it can be turned into liquid as LNG, it can be stored in pressure tanks it can even be stored in salt caverns. Or if you have the energy to spare you can simply transform it into methane gas, it's like one of easiest chemical reaction in the world, especially if you're in a pinch and you already burn coal.
What people do not realize is that we do not have the infrastructure for continuing to improve and benefit the most out of renewable energy. I mean sure there are people who are working their best, but we haven't done that globally yet and still pay oil companies tax brakes and such to keep it going.

Let’s face it, they are making tens of billions of dollars in profit while everyone else in the entire world suffers, it is the biggest crisis we have right now and they INCREASED their profit. All in all, more renewable energy and less oil usage will make sure that the world will never have to go through this situation and building an infrastructure to navigate into it will help a lot.

it is true that gambling is like betting on luck how much luck we have on that day.
but in gambling for me luck has a very small chance to get it. so there are still many people out there who consider gambling just for entertainment or to fill their spare time. but that's all actually to cover up being disappointed when you always lose at gambling and actually hoping to win to get more money.
no one wants to lose constantly spending money and losing at gambling, unless the person is very rich.
An excuse that's the right term to continue playing, if you lose then you convince yourself that luck is not with you and you are accepting your defeat since you are using an amount that you are willing to let go, but eventually your desire in winning will increase and your appetite for gambling will exceed to your allotted budget and after that you will find yourself getting engaged too much to the point that you are already addicted.

We can't measure or we can't conclude anything as it's an opinion base any inputs have value to how a person thinks about the situation.
Yes they are making excuses because if they are sincere of only playing only to get entertained, there is no need for them to play again or deposit again the second time once they have lost their first deposit. Playing gambling to have fun doesn't always be expensive but a small amount will be enough because you can still budget it and only use tiny amounts per spin/bet. You can even play without betting at all.

It is sad but many gamblers are like that, they keep on coming back to the casino in the hopes that they can win this time. I am not exempted to this but I stop because I feel annoyed. My losses are already big compared to my target win which is only small.

Nothing happen. There will be no a big change with it. Layer 2 blockchain will still remain exist. The fact that if there would not be a change in ethereum as well. I think that people are taking it in a wrong way. Let's see what's gonna happen with it whether you will be getting right result about ethereum scalability or not.  I think that people will always prefer to use the second layer blockchain instead of first layer with huge fees like ethereum.
The eth team didn't say that once ethereum merged is completed, the layer 2 will now disappear. Layer 2 are already created, so they will remain but what people are afraid of is that the layer 2 coins will get weaker because many will return to eth once eth fees returns to normal but you said it will not happen? Ouch, I think people that hope for it are going to be hurt once again because this isn't the first time they hope for that but every eth upcoming updates they always say that eth fees will return to normal but anyway there are still layer 2 which can be a good alternative to eth because they have a cheaper fees and they are also fast.

I don't find the rumours regarding Ronaldo to Sporting as realistic now. Ronaldo would rather sign for a big team that are capable in the Champions League. If he goes to Sporting then he should forget about success in the Champions League. The Liga Portugal isn't one of the biggest leagues as well. There is no meaning for him to join a Portuguese team while he is this much ambitious.
Ronaldo saga is still on as now Manchester United management is also looking for suitable solution because after first two defeats now they are realizing if they want to do something better than surely they have to solve this issue and right now they are in Madrid where talk are going underway for some positive solution even right now they are facing negative news from Atlético Madrid but still things can change as we have in case of Real Madrid.

Sporting rumors is just by media for some intention but most chances he will be in Madrid otherwise he is going to stay at Manchester United because of his salary issue which he is not going to cut if any other club wants him to be in their team Chelsea and Borussia Dortmund already rejected all rumors about Ronaldo and their connection.
