I don't exactly follow your reasoning for the Arsenal vs Everton game. Sure, Everton desperately needs points, but that doesn't mean that they can readily get them vs Arsenal, their team is much weaker. The odds between Arsenal and Tottenham for the 4th rank are pretty much 50-50, so this won't be an easy thing for Tottenham to overtake Arsenal. We will know more in two weeks, but I think Arsenal will make it Smiley
It is just psychology. When you see a team end up losing big time, you end up thinking that same team will end up losing to even a smaller opponent. If it was like 2-1 against Spurs then people wouldn't think that, but since it was 3-0 that made some people think that it would work in the end.

So, there are plenty that thinks that Everton may win, not because Everton is good, or not because they think that Arsenal is bad, but because they saw Spurs won so easily and imagine maybe Arsenal would play the same and would lose to Everton as well. I do not agree, I think it will be easy game like you said, and Arsenal will win, but I also understand their point of view.

the last 24 hours the price of BTC has started to rise about 9% above the $30k average. this is a just my opinion if BTC can maintain its value above the $30k average then I have no doubt that BTC could switch to a price of $32k - $33k in the next few weeks. maybe!
Being over 30k is certainly sending a message. It means that we were in a crash not because anything related to the market, but because it was an artificial drop caused by the Luna madness and not that's gone, we are doing much better.

I agree as well, I think it was basically Luna team destroying the whole market with their non-working system that crashed, and we could end up knowing what's the good thing we are looking at today by seeing how the prices are going up on all the good coins. Just relax, watch the prices rise, and enjoy the profits. If you were smart enough to buy, you would be profiting a lot, but if you are smart enough to just not sell, that's good enough.

Found this somewhere that compared the same year fluctuations, this is just better with graphs. Yes, the dump may not be over. The first wave upwards will be the investors who are waiting for their moment, maybe new ones who feel like this is it and purchased in a rush.
But there's a chance another dump may come for correction. The second wave upwards though could be the real deal and it will stay at a new price creating a new bottom. But whether buying now or later after another dump, both will surely be profitable.
I believe that what we are seeing right now would probably be something that will happen only once in a while and not that frequently, so another fall is unlikely. I am not saying that it can't go lower, it can but it wouldn't be this harsh anymore, it will be a lot less, like maybe 10-20% more but that's about it.

The trick is that when we start to go back up, it would be hard to calculate when it will stop, and that's not going to be easy, I personally do not know when it will start to go back up, but I know it will, yet I have zero clue about when it will start to go back down again after it goes up. If you know that, you are going to profit from the future.

And most of all, if you are only aiming to have some fun, you are ready to accept that the amount you spent will be burned after playing.

It's just a bonus if you win, but most of the time, you'll lose and let the enjoyment be the price for having that fun. Unlike with OP's situation he might be trying to grow his bankroll and each time he suffers from losses, he aggressively tries to win it back till he finds out that nothing left inside his bankroll.
Having fun is always the number one priority, if you have another priority then you are doing it the wrong way. I agree with you that no matter how much you deposit, it should always be an amount that you could ignore when you lose it. Of course it depends from person to person, I may care about 200 dollars and someone may ignore 2 million dollars, depends on your wealth.

But, if you put money that you could feel fine after losing, then it becomes very important to have fun, realize that even if you are so wealth that you have 10 billion dollars in your bank account, you could spend that 2 million dollars at somewhere that will give you more fun, so you should make sure that you have fun even if you do not care about losing.

I think, Rangers will not miss this opportunity to win this Europa league title because they are well prepared to play Frankfurt with all their power to achieve the trophy. Rangers players have a good confidence in this tournament that they will defeat any team they are going to meet in the final. Frankfurt know how to achieve victory in the second half when the opponent are getting weak in defense which they will like to apply this strategy to final to battle with Rangers but it will be difficult for them to use that strategy to defeat Rangers because Rangers has what it takes to defeat Frankfurt.
You may think that Rangers will play with 100% and try to win but at the same time Frankfurt will not be just watching, they will do their best to win this one as well. I do not know which one will win, sure Rangers could win, but Frankfurt is not an easy opponent to play against neither, just ask Barcelona fans and they will tell you.

At the end of the day this is finals, any team that reaches finals has a chance to win, I never believed "odds" for these games, one side is seen as favorites in these games but if two teams made it to finals, I do not believe that odds really do justice, if you are at the finals then you have a chance, goes for both sides.
1146  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 12, 2022, 09:36:05 PM
it is better and it makes sense for Liverpool to focus on the Champions League final rather than the Premier League. Because the English league champion is in the hands of Manchester City, while the Champions League winner is Liverpool's own decision if they can win the final match against Real Madrid, this automatically becomes Jurgen Klopp's achievement and Liverpool will definitely make a new history in the Champions League.
Focus on UCL is a thing you do when you are in the group stages or quarter finals or even semi finals because there are league games going on at the same time, like you play one league game then one ucl midweek then another league game and then another UCL then another league game and this causes a lot of fatigue and players may need to get a rest during those times.

However, this one is basically after the season is over, so they do not need to think about UCL right now and beat everyone they play against, they need to. If they lose, then they will be feeling sorrow about if City loses as well. In any case, City will definitely win the league there is no doubt about that so LFC needs to win UCL no matter what.

Hourly wagering has really pushed up the daily wagering numbers from what I can notice Wink 40 mbtc wagered already in 10th place  Shocked
Haha, What's your username in there? There’s more than 10 active whales in the Blackjack.fun right now and you should not farm on early stage of the contest because whales will easily erase your entry and bypass you. Start farming 10 minutes before the clock ends so that they will be surprised. By the way you should try participating on hourly biggest win contest because you can enter a spot easily there by just winning small amout. Use plinko and low risk so that you will have high chance to win even just 1.1 since the initial bet is counted as win amount.
Honestly I do not really go for it because I do not really believe that I could afford to gamble that much. Those whales end up gambling long enough to make it a futile attempt for me and I totally understand it because they are rich and I am not. I just gamble the way I always do and if I am lucky and make that money then I make that money and if I am not and there are some whales then there is nothing that I could do about it.

This is how I approach it and I believe that it will stay like that for a while as well. If you do not have enough funds to go toe to toe with these whales, just gamble the way you normally would and hope for the best.
1148  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: what's the ethereum killer ... on: May 11, 2022, 09:55:33 PM
in your opinion which blockchain could beat the Ethereum ... and why  Huh ?
I don't think there is another blockchain that can beat ethereum in our days now but maybe there are something may come but in the future .
so the thing here is that Ethereum will continue dominating the blockchain technology of altcoins ,
and this is the reason why Until now ETH is the dominance in altcoin world always second to Bitcoin the supreme currency .
I do agree that there are tons of projects that had the potential for it but they never really cared enough about their projects to make it become an eth killer. Look at the market right now, it is going down like crazy, any project that does something good right now would either go up, or at least not go down as much as the other ones and give some hope for the people.

This will be exponential growth when everything starts to go back up as well. If everything goes from 10 to 3, and you go 10 to 7, then when all goes back up 100%, they will still be 6 and not back to 10, while you will be 14 and break that price. This is what needed with these projects.
1149  Economy / Economics / Re: Is crypto the final stage in the evolution of money? on: May 11, 2022, 09:24:18 PM
I still remember when the ATM was found, many experts at that time said that the ATM connected to the bank was the best and last payment system, but the world continued to grow and then SMS banking appeared, internet banking and so on, I'm sure crypto is also not a final stage in the evolution of money.
That's the way it is, because as long as technology continues to develop, I think the evolution of money will continue to exist.
indeed for now crypto is one of the good breakthroughs which we never imagined,
but anyway it's not the final stage and let's see in the future later
I do not agree this for the time being. Here when we are talking about "final" it doesn't really take into consideration how final. Like we may live another 2 billion years on this planet as humanity, does that mean we are going to use bitcoin for another 2 billion years? Or will humanity stop existing in 200 years? I do not know.

So, what I understand as final here is before I die, and I believe that it is the final evolution for the time being until I die. I mean for the next 50-60 years at max (probably won't live that long) I can't see anything better to come along. I am sure that bitcoin will grow to be in every shop, but nothing else will come out.

This would be a first I’m hearing of Ja comparing himself to AI and Kobe, lol he’s insane for doing that. Even Michael Jordan doesn’t gloat like that even to this day. I think the kid has an insane amount of talent, obviously, but I think he needs to pump the breaks on the comparisons. Right now he’s more so like Derrick Rose in his prime rather than Kobe or AI.
That doesn't really seem like any downgrade neither. I get that Kobe and AI played amazingly, but Prime Rose was something out of this world too, maybe like one tick below prime Kobe and AI, but he was still a monster and he nearly took that Bulls team to championship all by himself if he stayed healthy.

I would say that he is more like young westbrook right now and nothing more. That is not bad neither, young westbrook was a monster too, but he wasn't a player that would carry a team to championship, he would just be in playoffs and that is what he is doing right now as well. I guess Ja will learn to be humble when he loses more often.
1151  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is NFT's hype over? on: May 10, 2022, 02:29:06 PM
     The thing that may be causing this slight decline in terms of interests about NFTs is the current market conditions which is bad and got worse many days after you created this thread. Another factor maybe unawareness of other NFT markets other than opensea which offers a wide variety of good NFTs as well and has much cheaper prices and fees due to the low fees that are required for every transaction. Still though, my twitter notifs still continue to explode due to NFT related tweets and retweets. I guess the drop on interest isn't really that drastic.
I would guess that mocking is a part of it as well. People who invest into NFT do not get the point of it, and see it as just an investment and that’s a whole another world, and a big majority of the crypto world as well.

I would definitely consider buying an NFT if there is an important artist that painted something, either by hand or digitally and if I want to own a piece of art by that artist then I would be willing to buy it not because I love NFT or anything, but because I would like to own an art by that famous artist. However, if you create 10k different versions of the same ape, then I am sorry but that has no artistic value and that caused it to go down, because NFT's from famous people and artists are still up and valuable but all those shitty ape things will of course go down and lose hype.
1152  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What might occur on the next bear market on: May 09, 2022, 09:27:48 PM
so in a nutshell it’s just a natural elimination basically the only project left are the ones that are basically can be considered “good”.
I’m sure that in the future we’ll see more and more smart contract platform that currently are considered as one of the most promising investment getting more and more underwhelming.
instead, i’m thinking that the metaverse gonna make some great increase in term of market valuation because most of the metaverse project gonna end their beta phase.
We had that plenty of times before. Whenever we are in a big market crash, that results with us ending up with going back up eventually but not all coins. Some coins go down and never recover from that. There are so many projects that reached ATH during late 2017 and early 2018, during the altcoin boom and then when it crashed people hodl it long enough but they never recovered, not even in the last 2 years when the prices went up.

This is a proof enough that we should not be considering it unlikely for the future as well. Some coins reached ATH last year and they will never reach that again and this crash will be the death of them for sure.
1153  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin and Ethereum at risk of serious losses on: May 09, 2022, 08:39:00 PM
Bitcoin and Ethereum are falling and it has been quite some time now. There's nothing new to it.
We should just wait for a reversal to buy more and I guess until then it's better to stay away from the market.

P.S : Where are those people these days who say "I told you bitcoin is a scam and it will fall".
It's been quite some time since I have read those posts  Grin
I do agree that there is a merit to the current situation and why it's down like this. I agree that the situation we are living right now could be a down moment and yes there are some people who are saying "I told so!" right now but you would be able to see any of them when it was 48k just recently, it wasn't that long ago, like maybe a month ago or so. Just realize that we are living in a moment when 30k+ is seen as "crashed" and how great that is.

I have to say I am feeling fine but that is probably because I bought way before the 2021 increase started, so as long as it is 20k+ I will feel fine. But you should be seeing me as an example of your own future if you buy now.

what do you mean by he didn't do something? I checked his two casinos last time and they are still active. It only shows that he still have his interest on his own business. It comes to his own mouth that he is suffering from a severe sickness last time and it can take for some time for him to fully recover so let's have our patience and wait a little more longer.

Pretty sure he will be back and post updates here if what is his plan on the postponed campaign once his health returns to normal. If ever he resumes the campaign, chances are that he will also place a bid again in the auction to promote his casino globally, within this forum.
Nobody says that you can't take a break, in fact he has 2 business' in the crypto casino world so he probably has enough money to just completely retire, either sell both of them and have a good life never working ever again with that much money, or just simply end up hiring someone to manage both of them for you, someone like CEO where you are the founder but they are the ones managing the companies.

That way he could rest, get better, find health, enjoy life, just travel or have fun until he dies and nobody would ask where he is, nobody would require him to be around. But, he both declines to hire someone and also selling and he just ignores the places, so we can't just say "oh he was sick, let's wait for him" when he doesn't care about us at all.
1155  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Some Errors We Make In Trading Crypto on: May 09, 2022, 10:03:04 AM
Hard learning as it is, those kinds of people will only realize that the market is not an easy venue to earn money.

It's true that if your friend learns something and takes that as a one step forward, they will be able to manifest ideas on how
they can probably earn the right way.

But, if they will not do anything to do better, the chance is just to repeat that same mistake and will continue to lose
more money, it's an own decision that will give opportunities to those who really seek for the betterment of success.
At last, they've learned that it is the reality in the market.

They're able to experience it and it has validated their own thoughts that it's not an easy going market. Just as the other businesses and investments.

There's the same risk that it has and that's why it's profitable because it has a higher risk that they should also go.
Risk is of course part of crypto world as well, there is no scenario where we end up with zero mistakes, of course we are going to end up with some problems. However at the end of the day it is not going to be that much of a problem to fear mistakes if you are a veteran and have been trading for a long time.

I mean think about it, if you have been trading for men years, already made many mistakes so far and have paid for them with your own money and learned why you did those mistakes. Doesn't that mean that maybe you are already better at it and maybe you won't be making that many mistakes anymore? That is just my guess, but many people will start to make a lot less mistakes eventually and won't fear as much.
1156  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: It's the year 2018 over again on: May 08, 2022, 09:58:09 PM
Every bear run we had till now was brutal and the price correction was too steep not just in 2018 but before that as well. Considering that we have not bleed that much when i write this but i am expecting the same kind of bleeding during a bear run. The reasons for the correction might be different but we will see a grand correction in the coming months.
I think we already have a big bear run already don't we? I mean the ATH was at 68k, and then we dropped to 40k levels which was a bear run to begin with, but if we ignore that, then we dropped under 37k once again which is already a big deal if you ask me. So, I would say that things do not look to be that great as of right now, you can call it a correction or you could call it a bear run, whatever you want to call it, the price has dropped and that is why it matters a lot.

I believe that the best way out of this would be getting a new hype, and you could accumulate during this period and wait for that hype to come in order to profit more in the future for taking advantage of current prices.
1157  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 08, 2022, 09:41:26 PM
Fiorentina still have objective to reach in this season. They can get a fifth position from Lazio, AS Roma and participate in Europa League. Currently they have 6 points less than Lazio that stays in the fifth position but they can reduce it to 3 points if they win AC Milan.
Atalanta won their game against Spezia, which was expected to begin with. And right now, we have one thing left to check, which is Roma and Fiorentina game and whatever the outcome is from that game Atalanta will be happy about it. If Roma wins then Fiorentina will be further away, and if Fiorentina wins then they would be closer but then that would make Atalanta closer to Roma as well.

It would definitely make that last available spot a lot more entertaining to watch and see which team wins, so I am rooting for Fiorentina to win this game just so we could have like a great ending to the season there, plus we do not know what's going to happen at the top neither so we would watch the end and have fun.
1158  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Final! on: May 08, 2022, 09:11:01 PM
I chose Rangers to be a strong candidate to win the Europa League trophy. Rangers have performed quite well in the Europa League this season and they have also performed quite well in their domestic league. But unlike Frankrurt they are a surprise team by beating some big teams in the Europa league but they did not perform well in the Bundesliga league. Maybe this final will be an important point for Frankrurt to get a ticket to the Champions League by becoming the Champions of the Europa League.
And it could also be that Frankfurt will surprise again in the Europa League final this time because Frankfurt will not waste their chance in this Europa League final, especially since every club that is able to win the Europa League trophy will automatically get a ticket to the UCL next season.
So both I don't think will play badly in the Europa League final this season.
At this point I wouldn't be shocked about it. I mean think about it, they have been beating teams that we assumed they wouldn't for a long time now, even though they have been lackluster in the bundesliga games, they have been playing specially well in all of europa games.

So, if they somehow end up winning the europa one as well, then I wouldn't really be shocked about it at all, I would be pretty confident that the best thing that is going on for them would be the underdog fire that they have. However, if they get cocky and feel overconfident because of all the wins they had, and start to think that the cup is in the bags and play like that, they will definitely get humiliated.
1159  Economy / Economics / Re: Get, Save & Invest. on: May 08, 2022, 04:18:59 PM
Get money - save money  - Invest money is the way of life. I doubt there are people in this world that Get Money and don't invest in whatever business it may be.
Investment is a wealth building process in which the investor have an opportunity to earn returns to increase his/her money.

Even if you have some fiat savings in the bank is not a bad idea, it is important to have a plan b, besides you still need fiat as it is still the only legal currency. It is better to invest 70% of your money and keep 30% cash in the case of a bad investment. And speaking of which it is important to know the kind of investment, crypto, real estate, agriculture are good sectors to invest.
I have to agree that there is a good reason why all the rich people got rich by basically either building a business, or just investing into the right business' at the right time. If you want to be rich enough to retire early and all that, then you will be able to do that however you invest, as long as it is good investment for the long future time, then you will be fine.

But, never expect your investment to be as good as starting a new business. Most major rich people became rich like that. I suggest doing this to start, working hard, earning more, saving a lot, investing wisely, but when you reach to a level, start considering starting a job.
1160  Economy / Economics / Re: Looks like markets are crashing ! this is it ...it's the big one ! on: May 08, 2022, 08:18:40 AM
If it was about the crash, the crash have started last year, it was on December to specific but unfortunately it continued up to this point. People shouldn't be surprised if their prediction didn't went through because it was only just a prediction anyway. It is not guaranteed but it is still early to feel bad about the price.

We aren't halfway yet in this year so maybe the price can still make a comeback and real increase can come at the last quarter of this year. In terms of the Russian and Ukraine war, I think they have contributed something on the decline of the price but it wasn't that heavy and later on, it was also the war that leads for the price to recover because there are good news that we saw later on.
I would be feeling bad as well if I had no money left and if I was trusting the crypto prices to go up in order to stay afloat. Thankfully that crypto is not something that I invest with the money I need, so it could be 10k as well for a whole year and as long as it profits me "enough" in the future, I am willing to wait for it.

Not everyone has the same feeling about the crypt world and I need to accept that some people are here to get super rich and do it as quickly as possible without any regards for the long term investment. Yes, that is the wrong issue and they should be waiting but that December drop made a lot of people get out of crypto totally.
