I must be one of the few people happy to embrace web3 and not because I like it but because I have always been one to embrace new technology (like Bitcoin) and I trust that the decentralized community will always move towards improvement, just as has been done with Bitcoin overall.

Metaverse coins I am staying away. As you say,,, none of them are "real metaverse" just hopping onto the hype!

I totally agree here and I hope they realized this mistake. Football is a team game and this is also why I am okay if my team Spurs finally lets go of Harry Kane. Loyalty and teamwork makes your team attractive to watch too!
Big mistake with getting Cristiano Ronaldo and make Juventus playing as individual when attacking should focus to give assist and chance for Cristiano Ronaldo to make goal, but now without Ronaldo have show many potential player and Dybala become new top scorer for Juventus except have Morata and Moise Kean, I think the same like Real Madrid after leaving by Cristiano Ronaldo show Benzema as top scorer for club and he success hot only created many goal but also can give assist for his team.

Well yes,,, but anyway that was not my original point of discussion and we all already probably have discussed this to 1 million deaths.

Dybala and Moise Kean like you say are the way forward, just as many other clubs see in their youth.

One thing for sure though,,, with the old stars now fading there is much more wider roads for the new stars to take their place,,, this is in every league we can witness now Smiley

Amazing hit for all of you who followed! I myself chose not to bet on it, unfortunately, I was so sure this game would be a game with less than 16 points,,, who would know that Brighton and Brentford could get so many corners among themselves (15!). It is rare even in EPL but this is Blackjack we should always trust the luck!

I think that doesn't discredit all the titles that juventus won, they showed that they played well and won the games.



juventus was playing more individually than collectively, they won because they had cristiano ronaldo, but they didn't play as a cohesive team, but now they are gradually improving but there is still a big problem that is in attack, juventus has good defense and That's what's saving them, but they have serious problems in attack, if Juventus manages to have a good player in attack they can even be champions

I guess not,,, just that matchfixing puts such a dark shadow on everything achieved,,, I could never know how to react if my team won a title and then later got found guilty of matchfixing. Anyway, Juventus needs time to go back to the top,,, meanwhile it is nice to see other teams fill the void.

He killed the team spirit, for sure. Ronaldo is a superstar and a winner. But he is also a selfish player with a big ego. He comes first, Juventus is second. That's not the way Juventus works. Juventus has a history of winning not because they always had the better players than other teams, but because they sacrificed more and worked harder to correct their flaws. They also had players who loved their team and were proud to present it. Those days are gone now. Juventus invests too much in non-Italians and that won't work. People can't even spell loyalty and they are only interested in the next pay check and bigger contracts.

Juventus' biggest mistake is not a player but a manger. General Manager Giuseppe Marotta (now at Inter). 

I totally agree here and I hope they realized this mistake. Football is a team game and this is also why I am okay if my team Spurs finally lets go of Harry Kane. Loyalty and teamwork makes your team attractive to watch too!

Looks like we had a seesaw rollercoaster in Dutch and Portuguese leagues. One 2 points away from push and one 3 points away from Blackjack.

Indeed it is hard to talk about Serie A without talking about the king which is Juventus,,, and I know I should say very little because of the whole idea that I only followed this league recently and even so just from the news, but does the scandal of matchfixing involving Juventus make their reputation of winning titles in the relevant years any worse? Just asking from a perspective of an outsider Smiley
The King is coming back silently but they are coming back in reality. AC Milan and Inter Milan have to watch out Juventus very closely. They have good players and a very experienced coach, Max. If AC Milan and Inter Milan can not maintain their good and stable performance, it won't be a big surprise if we see Juventus join the Scudetto race in next 1 to 2 months. They have enough resources and experience to do it.

Did not really answer y question at all but I guess nobody really did,,, so that is okay heh. Juventus will qualify for Top 4 this time I think but not because they are good, because all the others will have a tough time to juggle Europe duty.

Anyway just read Buffon in the news saying Ronaldo killed the soul of Juventus and I think a lot of people can agree. This should be their priority if they care long term.
1087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 25, 2021, 09:53:46 AM
That's my personal question too because I also just found out about the case and the existence of a rule like this, I understand it may have been an agreed rule but it doesn't feel like something good. But even so if I'm not mistaken, Salernitana is still given a deadline until the end of the month or the end of this year, but considering that time is getting closer I personally am not sure Salernitana will get a new ownership. Therefore, I will only look forward to the continuation of this case as well and hope for the best.

Ooops just saw I spelled the name wrong but the club is totally new to me did not know about their existence until this season. It is not fun at all for the club of course and if I was in Serie A I would feel it totally takes away from my season if even 1 team is gone like this.

England celebrates Christmas, it is different for them and they are crazy Smiley They have a tradition of playing trough winter holidays and it is their way of celebration. That part of my post was intended for leagues like: Turkey, China, Taiwan, Iran, Israel, Morocco, Quatar.... As far as I know they don't have holidays at this time and it is work as usual for them.

I sort of can understand it I guess but it would be really interesting to know the history behind this and why they PLAY on Christmas holiday when everybody else is home with family.

Also this brings another question maybe you know the answer to,,, which is why on earth do you guys play a weird calendar league? In Asia we have annual leagues also but it is all finished and started in the same year Smiley And yes, Christmas is all the same for us, it is a public holiday but mostly because Europe clients are all not working anyway. But since it is Saturday there was no extra holiday Smiley

I think we can all discuss all the fundamental reasons of security and decentralization etc etc but the proof is in the history of Bitcoin.
Right, history is really invincible. Only one thing is saddening that we lost "Satoshi"; we got him by our side in Bitcoin misfortune and helped in developing but today we do not find him in the golden days of Bitcoin. Without this thing, the whole history is really invincible.

I do not think it is sad at all. Look at the big networks who their founders saw the success of Bitcoin and tried to step down to do the same,,, they could not (think of Litecoin for example with Charlie Lee who stepped down but it was too late).

I think Satoshi leaving the way he did was the best thing for Bitcoin, and Bitcoin users will never see this golden age if he did not leave.

I don't know about newbie, but institute and government who has the power and has the ability to invest bulk money, their first preference is Bitcoin. Cause with the profit they also care about the security of their investment, and only Bitcoin is the real secured world.

Same as states,,, we think they are smart and powerful but at the end of most days the decision lies in the hands of one or two people who know as much as us. How many countries invest in Bitcoin truly understanding it or even using it we can never really know.

Not another paid signal group. I know everybody has given advice already but allow me to add my own personal experience with paid groups,,, they will take your money and give you signals from everywhere else OR worse,,, they just share fake or only profit signals.

No such thing as guaranteed. Because even if somebody can guarantee 0.1% profit,,, why would they need to charge $30?

About Inter, I agree they have achieved in Millenium years, Inter got 5 scudetto in the row, 2005 until 2010. that great achievement. But Milan, only 2003–04, 2010–11. and Juventus is the king of decades, got 9 scudetto in the row between 2011 until 2020. I hope so with Napoli and Roma. so far Napoli is just great in the Maradona era, while Roma in Francisco Totti era in 2000. but for this session, Napoli and Roma will be difficult to beat Inter and Milan on top when they don't build the team in January.

Indeed it is hard to talk about Serie A without talking about the king which is Juventus,,, and I know I should say very little because of the whole idea that I only followed this league recently and even so just from the news, but does the scandal of matchfixing involving Juventus make their reputation of winning titles in the relevant years any worse?

1092  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 24, 2021, 03:14:24 PM
As far as I know this is normal not because of the covid case because even the EPL will still run boxing day matches which obviously have a lot of matches there that have been postponed before but there is no change to the normal schedule. Regarding Salernitana, the news says they need a new owner and if they don't get him then Salernitana will be forced out of Serie A to Serie B. But considering his performance so far, I think Salernitana will certainly be relegated, but regarding the problems faced, Salernitana will be relegated sooner and not wait until the end of the season.
If this happens does that mean there are only 19 teams in Serie A and all teams remaining have 1 less game? It seems to be extremely unfair but then again the rules is the rules. Just I find it strange it happens like this when surely there was many months to prepare for it.

not an expert, but I think that it is pretty regular thing for Serie A to have new year break
they had two rounds last week, probably to skip this weekend, due to Christmas, and now they have two week gap

Sounds like a good idea if you ask me. We all get breaks (well I do not but that is sort of my job but I get triple or more pay in holidays) why not footballers right?

All leagues in the world have break for winter holidays. It usually lasts about 2 weeks.

Only exceptions are Premier League and couple of leagues from countries that don't celebrate Christmas.

I never knew this,,, I mean even here Christmas is not really celebrated except as a company or corporate or Western tradition that we picked up but I thought England celebrates Christmas. I guess maybe over there football is part of holiday tradition.

Never been successfully hacked,,, Never refused or given back,,, And if I wanted today to spend or sell my BTC I could do that much easier than any other altcoin.

This for me is reason enough for any newbie to choose BTC over anything else. Trust is something not rational correct?  Cheesy
1094  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 24, 2021, 01:06:03 PM
Oh yes,,, I also just realized now there is a long break in Italy, is this normal for the league or just because of Covid?

It is really very difficult now to make arrangements for all the football I wonder if we will see another postponement, and I am sure some teams would really like the break, especially Salertina now who must find a buyer. Crisis time!
1095  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: HEX is your last chance at a 10000x crypto. on: December 24, 2021, 10:28:38 AM
Yeah.. I can imagine we will pass $1 by next year and it'll take a while to creep up to $2, so I would say an extra dollar per year ish. But if this does play out then the gains won't be good enough for new comers and they could potentially go elsewhere. Good thing is the APY is so good that even if it is stable the APY is worth it anyway.

I honestly cannot believe this coin is still alive,,, but then again when I read about it 2 years ago I remember some people even staked for 2 3 and even 5 years, so I guess minimum this coin can be around until 2025 or unless everybody and the whales decide to pull the plug at one go.

As you said, gains are not good enough for newcomers but beware the whale rugpull.
1096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: I need some Altcoin to hold longterm :D on: December 23, 2021, 01:33:17 PM
I suggest buying MATIC immediately, many analysts believe the price of MATIC will reach $100 soon (probably in 2022), with lots of devs. and an active user at Polygon, I'm optimistic that MATIC will be your first long-term investment destination.

This is easy to say now because MATIC is current at all time high already. It is always easy to look at a coin already rising and breaking records but for once I agree that Polygon is one of the strongest teams out there with real devs and real utility for their token.

It might fall a lot but it will be like Ethereum as a second chain layer in 4/5 years.
1097  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There are no decentralized cryptocurrencies on: December 23, 2021, 10:39:56 AM
There is no such thing as fully decentralized,,, I think this is the point we all need to understand and accept. The internet is in parts centralized and in parts not, it is the best case of how decentralization can work, when you look at how it is run and accessed all over the world.

With crypto, Bitcoin is the most decentralized of all, I believe followed by Ethereum. There is no possibility for total decentralization, but always the possibility for more decentralization, which happens with Bitcoin more and more.
1098  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: December 23, 2021, 10:03:37 AM
The match was enjoyable. Liverpool were able to draw the match after trailing by two goals at halftime. Although Leicester have been beaten, their performance has impressed me. But Liverpool are an experienced team, they have won. Leicester was playing awesome. If Leicester can do that in the Premier League then they have a chance to rise to the top of the points table. Leicester are now ninth in the Premier League

I hope they get to meet my team Spurs for a rematch in the final but now we have to find a way to beat Chelsea first! This is a great chance for all of the teams to get a trophy and I am sure now in the last 2 games no team will use their weak squad,,, perhaps except for Liverpool as Klopp only puts his best team on a final, and trusts his young squad plus reserves to win the game. And if they played like they did against Leicester I see no reason for him to change.

Just hope Conte can make a tactical genius again against Tuchel!
1099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Sportsbet.io ⚽ Italian Serie A ⚽ Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 23, 2021, 08:44:12 AM
Italian league as morvillz7z describes is truly mind boggling!
Corruption can happen in any other league as things can happen behind closed doors without the organizing body knowing of their occurrences.
I heard of some teams having the same owners on a sports chat yesterday while watching the utter embarrassing match of Atalanta (this one match decimated many parlays on there I might add) but did not take much heed to what was being said.
Being strucked out of a major league like this is something that won't be easily forgotten.
Atalanta and Napoli are in trouble in this league I think. Yes they play very good attractive football. I actually saw some clips from Champions League though and the Italians look like they do not know what they are doing against the really big clubs. Of course I hope Inter does some damage to Liverpool but they were even just so lucky to progress.

Sassuolo are 2 goals down again, and will have to come back from behind this week as they've done for 2 weeks, If they are to get any thing from this fixture.

I was just trying to follow people and bookmaker odds,,, but something tells me we should be opting less and less for Sassuolo in this season moving forward. The important thing in this pool seems to be about picking out the draws Smiley
