1501  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: February 05, 2022, 02:25:14 PM
Barcelona must now direct their main goal towards winning the UEFA Europa league.  The chances of them participating in the championship race in La Liga are very low.  It looks like that race will be between Real Madrid and Sevilla.  However, if Barcelona can eliminate Napoli in the UEFA Europa League, they can go all the way to the final.  If they become champions, they can recover their prestige, which has fallen this year, a little.  Transfers, on the other hand, I think were very appropriate
They won't sacrifice La Liga to focus on Europa League. If they win Europa League, they will be eligible for Champions League next season. If they fail, they will be out of Champions League and will lose a good income for the next season. It will affect their finance first, then are harmful for their attraction on star or promising players. They would like to join a big club which has good condition in competition and in finance. A position in top 4 of La Liga and a ticket to Champions League are more important for Barcelona rather than the Europa League title.

Quote
Traore is already a football player who grew up from La Masia.  Ferran Torres and Aubameyang are very good signings.  Let's see what Xavi can do with this squad.
Ferran is a good sign but Aubameyang might be not. Traore might be not because he grows up to become a different player than traditional one from La Massia. Many powerful players fail in Barcelona and Traore has such similar skill set. I am very doubtful on his success in Camp Nou

Barcelona and Atletico are only 1 point apart, whoever wins in that match will put them in the top 4 positions, Athletico and Barcelona this season do have quite strong pressure from many parties regarding their performances which are far from great, and the match will be able to be one way to silence the critics and prove that they are still the two big teams to be respected in La Liga.
It is a bad season for Atletico Madrid. They began it as a champions and now are in the fourth position and don't have big difference in total points than Barcelona. We know Barcelona have serious troubles since beginning of this season which lasted so far even with a new coach, Xavi. However, their performance is not considerably worse than Atletico Madrid with 1 point less.

If people want to find a club with bad issues, it's Athletico Madrid, not Barcelona. Barcelona are re-building their team and their results are acceptable. Athletico Madrid have bad and unacceptable results because they are champions of La Liga.

In addition, Atomic and Exodus wallet aren't really safe since they're closed sources. You'd better use the open source and non custodial wallet.
I more prefer to use non custodial wallets but I disagree to automatically conclude a non custodial wallet is better than a custodial wallet. It depends on their quality because not all non custodial wallets are good and not all custodial wallets are bad.

I agree it's better to use non custodial wallets with private key or mnemonic seed, then if you need to make transactions, you can do it anytime you want. If you want to sell your coins on exchange, sign a transaction to deposit it on an exchange, and sell it on that exchange.

In-wallet exchange charges you additional fee for in-wallet exchanges so is it economic saving in your opinion? I don't see it is economic-saving.

I think Lightlord is an experienced casino operator, for him to have operated two gambling sites at the same time for a long time he should know how better to take care of health issues but feedback is the best way to keep upgrading any platform. The site needs to win the confidence of its players back by becoming more active on the forum.
The point is it is not good actually if 2 casinos are operated by a single person. From operations to hot wallet control, it is bad because you don't know what will happen with that person. Then if things are unwell, what ending will be for 2 casinos and how about ending is for their customers?

I wish best for lightlord and I see they are very old and trusted casinos but above points make sense in my opinion. I don't know but from what I read, two casinos are likely owned and mainly operated by lightlord. If he returns with better health, he will manage two casinos better but he will also have to think of more solutions to make those casinos more decentralized. Like sharing more important access and controls to some core members.

It is not too strange to see 2 casinos are owned by same owners. Bitvest and 777coin, Sportsbet.io and Bitcasino.io, Primedice and Stake. I do believe that issues occur only if 2 casinos are scam ones that are owned by same scam owners.

Roobet and Rollbit are both very good casinos with good reputation. Even if they are owned by same owners, it is fine. However, I agree with some people that they don't have same owners. In addition, because they are good casinos, if they have same owners, they will announce it officially. There is no big reason to hide such information or try to refuse it. Only scam casinos will try to hide and deny such ownership information.

For all wallets, don't trust, verify. You have to verify wallets in order to know that it is a real wallet, not a phishing one. If you install a phishing wallet, and store Bitcoin in it, your Bitcoin will be stolen by scammers.

Electrum wallet is good because it is non-custodial, does not require big storage space, and it is available for desktop as well as android.

Check official websites then official social media for important announcements. More carefully, double check with trusted third party marketcap websites such as coinmarketcap.com or coingecko.com. More carefully, check again with Google search. It means you will check 3 times at least and if all given information, links are matched, it means you are safe with official sites from which you can get official announcements.

About withdrawal or anything relates to your account, it should be sent to you from official channels such as email. SMS, Telegram, Discord, etc. if you receive such messages from strangers, it is very likely a scam and phishing effort.

The result of the penalty kick is quite surprising. Man United are really unreliable and they have had to suffer an unexpected result. I think it's a tough task to change coaches and it doesn't result in a match. So it becomes a big question whether Man United is no longer productive? while every result always convinces them to win. When viewed against Middlesbrough was very far from the initial target. Now the final result is a crushing blow.
Ronaldo or all players can not have 100% success rate on penalty shot so don't attack him because of one missed penalty. To be fair for Ronaldo, he is one of best players for Manchester United, in general and on penalty shot in particular.

Even if Ronaldo is 5 years old younger, Manchester United can not rely on him to get success and end their crisis. Bruno Fernandez 3 seasons ago, brought some positive effects when he joined Old Trafford but now let's see he can not able to maintain it. It can be because his performance is worse or problems in the club are more seriously.

NFT's is based on hype but as long you could make out profits then that what matter the most.I dont look with those shitty arts but it would be always better if you do see some actual utility or benefits aside on holding it and just wait for it to have some value.For those who had believed and risk out earlier and believe with those Rollbots are the ones who do really benefit out the most.
Hearing up some words that other sites might really be integrating NFT things as well which do follows this one.
NFT is only another trend in the world and blockchain is just one part of NFT technology. In blockchain industry, things go so fast and a successful project now can easily become a failed one in future. Although, it is big challenge for all projects, from investor side, their main task is to find good projects which can survive in whatever market. If they do their research, find non scam projects to invest in, it is already some sort of success. In the end, protect initial capital and don't let it go, vanish in the air easily is success. Non scam projects can help investors to have better capital protection.

Do you have doubt on the capability and success of Rollbit.com casino? I don't have such doubt so Rollbot NFTs will be backed strongly by Rollbit.com casino which will be one of vital support for Rollbot NFTs. NFT won't die, Rollbot NFT won't die. Success more in the future, I don't know for now but I have belief in Rollbot NFT and the casino.

Oh, it's just not leaking out and the team's results seem to be getting better lately. Mourinho is a great motivator and has achieved a lot in football thanks to this, but at the same time he is quite toxic when the team does not succeed and this has been manifested more often lately.
Mourinho is good to boost his players to their limits. Positively, it brings very good results and bring titles when players put their best efforts to play for the club and for themselves with their ego triggered by Mourinho.

Negatively, it causes serious conflicts among Mourinho and his players that lead to another serious issues for all: players have worse performance than they usually have, Mourinho lose control, club have very bad results in long run. In the end, Mourinho will get sacked because nowadays, club will not sacrifice star players just to protect a coach.

Quote
This is the reverse side of the coin of the phenomenon of such coaches as Mourinho or Conte, when specialists shake up the team in the shortest possible time and force them to show much better results, but this lasts for a maximum of several seasons and then the specialist is forced to leave, heating up relations with the team and its management to the point of impossibility.
Mourinho, Conte and Simeone are similar coaches with their defense, counter attack tactics and their psychological approach for their players. You are right, there are adverse effects of the approach and both Mourinho and Conte already got sacked a few times. Only Simeone has gotten full support from Athletico Madrid and has a safe coach position in the club so far.

What is paper wallet
In my opinion, paper wallet are key(s) that you generated in which the backup is written on paper (laminated paper preferably), metallic sheet or something that is safe enough. But recently, the seed phrase that is backup can produce the keys and addresses needed which you can backup instead of the private key(s).
Seed phrase or private key, it depends on each wallet you use. However they are only different visual displays of your wallet private key.

Like in computer science, rather than display 01 10 etc. for non-tech users, there are encryption and decryption process to convert computer science raw data to visual one for people to see and more easily to understand.

Same method goes for private key. It is easier to understand what seed phrase means by meaningful words rather than a lengthy private key. Also with seed phrase, if you lose one word or one or two letter because of missing writing or physical damage, you can check it with available resources and recover it. For private key, it is more complicated but also means private key is a better secured method to back up your wallet.

Well, I would not so directly call Roma the main disappointment of the season. In principle, no one expected Roma to fight for the Scudetto this season, just a wonderful start gave rise to some hopes for a high result. And then, during the season, a cold shower and a decrease in the team's results followed. Also, certain hopes were pinned on Mourinho, as a top-level specialist who knows how to squeeze the most out of the existing squad, but so far the feelings on this issue are ambivalent. We do not know what arrangements were made when Mourinho was invited to the club, but some dissatisfaction with Jose's players slips through at times publicly, which does not contribute to building strong intra-team relationships.
They fail to end in top 4 for some seasons so that even in that humble competition, little people think they can fight and achieve it if their coach is not Mourinho. To be fair for Mourinho, he brings some good motivation for Roma players in this season and I expect him to do better things for the club in the rest of this season, especially for the next season.

Now, he understands more about strength as well as weakness of players and the team so that he will have more solid plans to improve the club by some necessary transfers in summer. I don't see conflict between Mourinho and Roma players and so far it looks like they are happy with Mourinho which will be one of solid foundations for their success in near future. Another good point is Roma director board does not have plan to sell their key players and it means they will mostly improve their squad by better quality players.

In its current position, Newcastle does not need super transfers, because for the task of maintaining representation in the Premier League, they do not need extra-class games. It should also be borne in mind that the club has a certain spending ceiling in the current transfer window according to the requirements of financial fair play, so it is better for the club to buy several strong players than to spend all the money on a conditional one Mbappe. Newcastle is now a step away from the abyss and first you need to move away from this abyss by building a strong combat-ready team, but then it will be possible to improve this team to solve higher tasks.
Even if Newcastle want such, they will not be able to achieve it too soon. First, their current position makes them less attractive in eyes of star or super star players. Second, finance regulation in football now is very strict and they will not easily to spend fund like rich clubs did years ago. They have to buy and sell players as well as other activities to balance their finance sheet. If they over spend money, they will be under radar then punishment of EUFA like Manchester City or PSG.

newcastle just got the title of a new rich club but it is difficult for them to get or attract star players if their position is in the relegation zone, right if their focus right now is to avoid the relegation zone, and I think what newcastle needs right now is a consultant who can give advice to build the club's foundation in the future it is more useful than waste money for unneeded players. because to build a club's success doesn't start with buying star players but create the foundation of the team.
I don't call it as a title for Newcastle. It is just a name-calling which is used by socia media and the crowd. Do they care about it? I guess not and believe they even don't like it. Because a rich club name-calling only brings more difficulty for them in transfer negotiation. They will have to spend more expensive cost for same players than poor or average clubs.

Do you see English players usually have more expensive price than international players if they are at similar quality?
1514  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: February 03, 2022, 01:48:53 PM
The reality is that Mbappe does not want to extend his contract at PSG, while PSG's own board management has offered him a new contract. I've heard that on one of the existing news channels, but I don't know if it's legitimate news or not because of course PSG will regret it if Mbappe is released on a free transfer later. Anyway, even though Mbappe has remained at PSG throughout this UCL season, I personally am still not sure that PSG will go further, because their competitors this season can also be said to be better.
The reality is Mbappe does not satisfy with his career in PSG. He see the club has opportunity to win Champions League because he has experience to know that the difference between champions and losers are small in some cases. With his experience in France national team, he should know it.

Moreover, he does want to win personal titles which he thinks he can not get such in PSG. It are probably one of biggest reasons and motivation why he does want to play in Real Madrid. The club has many super stars who win many Ballon d'Or and other personal titles. PSG is not a club at such level and has such tradition.

Mbappe only wants to serve with the existing contract with PSG while the offer of a new contract is a long decision if PSG can persuade Mbappe to stay then that is better, but if Mbappe is released on a free transfer then it is ridiculous that PSG has wasted so much money.
If in the UCL, PSG have to submit to Madrid then the possibility of this dream of being a champion will fade, even I have doubts about Madrid.
Actually Mbappe must be ready with his choice.
Beating Real Madrid or winning one Champions League can not change all history. Chance to win 3 Champions League like Real Madrid and Zizou is very small. It takes Chelsea many years from their first Champions League trophy to their second trophy. Chance to win a few Champions League in 5 or 10 years is low because it is scarce to see a club like Barcelona with Pep, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc. years ago.

So I believe even if PSG win Champions League in the end of this season, Mbappe will still have more motivation to join Real Madrid rather than sign a new contract with PSG.

It is a very good offer for government but few things to consider.
- Do the local rules allow to make approval on such activities?
- Even the request is allowed by laws, is it possible to recover a hardware disk which was dumped in a landfill for about 10 years?

Landfill is very polluted and there are many harzadous materials which can make harmful corrosion and destroy the disk. I think it is a hopeless idea and government might put it into consideration. It is good if they get $70M from the offer but the chance to find the disk and be able to recover Bitcoin inside is very very low. They can not arbitrarily break or adjust laws just because of small hope for $70M.

You can find many topics on either How to earn merit. How to get merit. How to receive merit. You can find those topics with either forum search or search engines such as Google, Duckduckgo, etc.

Writing a welcome message can be something to introduce you about it.
Forum rank

When you start out, you are a Newbie, and you will run into various annoying limits. These limits will be reduced to the point where you shouldn't usually notice them after you have participated in the forum for a few weeks. If you are on the forum to talk, then that's all you really need to know about rank. Don't worry about it too much, and you will eventually rank up.

If you want to maximize your rank, then you need to increase two statistics which are listed on your profile:
  • Activity, which is maximized by posting once per day on average. Posting more than that is useless in raising your activity.
  • Merit, which is gained by making good posts.

If you make ten thousand posts in a week, your activity will be capped and you will still be a Newbie. If you make ten thousand useless posts over any period of time, you will gain zero merit and you will still be a Newbie. You can rank up only by making good posts consistently. It's quality over quantity.

When trying to write quality posts, a lot of people act as though they're writing a book report for school: putting facts that we already know into their own words. Nobody wants to read that, and you will not get merit for it. Moreover, the length of your post and the quality of your English are only minor factors. In trying to write a quality post worthy of merit, you should offer new ideas, personal experiences, or perspectives that other forum users will actually find new and interesting.

You can follow posters with most earned merits and learn from them. You can learn their knowledge on bitcoin, blockchain, security, privacy etc. in order to improve your post quality. You can learn from them to make cohesive and comprehensive posts. After all, you will be able to make higher quality posts and increase your chance to receive merit.

I believe Newcastle cannot build their dream team as quickly as turning the palm of the hand as they will have to adapt over several seasons to attract top players. One of the most decisive is the presence of a top coach at Newcastle and if they already have it then it is not impossible that some of the top players are currently willing to work with them.
There are many barriers for their dream.
- The European football now have a few rich clubs: Chelsea, Manchester City, PSG rather than only Chelsea 10 to 15 years ago. So now Newcastle will have to fight with other rich clubs to buy best players.
- Currently they don't have a good team which is reflected on their results so that star players will hesitate to join them. It is very different than Chelsea because under first years of Abramovich and Ranieri, Chelsea are in top of Premier League and have some good achievements in Champions League as well. Manchester City did not stuck in delegation area like Newcastle now.

Quote
Apart from that I also don't think that the money they invested in buying some players will be wasted this season because they are players who are expected to help the team stay in the Premier League next season. Newcastle will certainly have to be careful with transfers if they don't want huge losses should they have to fail in the end. There are 17 more match for them left this season so let's see what they do.
Newcastle will have to sacrifice 2 to 3 seasons to build up from scratch to above average then moving higher to top clubs of Premier League. I meant this period might take up to 5 or 10 years. It does not easy to achieve because all above reasons or even more reasons.

Another bad barrier for Newcastle is more strict regulations on club finance and transfer balance than easier ones around 10 to 20 years ago. So even Newcastle are ready to spend huge budget for transfer and salary, they will have to do it slowly and less seriously than what Chelsea, PSG, Manchester City did years ago.

With crypto transactions, you will have to pay transaction fees to miners, stakers, validators on networks. It is mandatory fee which will be charged for all crypto transactions.
You can customize fee rate for your transactions from low, medium to fast speed. In order to have rights to set up customized fee rate, you must use non-custodial wallets. If you use custodial wallets, you will not have such rights and will have to rely totally on those platforms for fee rate. Usually, they set up high fee rate to give customers most seamlessly experience but sure it is not cheap.

However, there are other fee, service fee for example. I mean if you use custodial wallet, you will have to pay for service fee and it might not be cheap.

If Arsenal only relies on Nketiah and Lacazette that is possible for the Champion League zone hard to be attained. Lyon also wants Lacazete back, in this case, Arsenal only has 1 striker on the front. when still don't find who can replace them, Arteta must try another formation to fill up the forward. the only way method is pushing Smith Rowe a bit forward and changing the midfielder formation or calling back Morata and Isak.
Competition in Premier League is very tight and Arsenal will be in trouble if they depend on one or two key players. So far, they are in good position and have achieved good things but in order to end in top 4, it is challenging mission and if they fail to replace those players just in bad situations like injuries, long or short term, suspensions, etc. they will have some bad matches or bad streak which will seriously affect their result very negatively.

Lacazette lost his important after Aubameyang joined Arsenal but now he is getting this back. This season is the best one for Lacazette in Arsenal last 3 to 4 years. Arsenal again have another very young and good team.

It seems that Mourinho's work is starting to bear fruit, with AS Roma showing more and more consistency in their games and this is making them able to win games. Even so, there is still a lot of work ahead.

Now, they are certainly well motivated, to win the next game, in the perspective of being able to get even closer to Juventus, who haven't been playing well.
Mourinho is always one of best coaches in football, in last 20 years since 2004 with his achievement in Porto. I am not doubtful about his ability, professionality as well as his ambition and dedication to his club management job.

Mr. Special will do his job at best in second season usually. Also, based on current quality and depth of substitution quality, I think Roma will not be able to move to high or achieve something big in this season, but next one, they might be able to challenge others for Scudetto. In order to do this, they must finish this season in top 4, then they might be more attractive in eyes of star players and will have a successful transfer season, which in turn will be foundation for future success.

The opening game of the week is going to be Roma vs Genoa three days later. Roma have one of their easiest games ahead of them now. They are on a winning streak of two games in the Serie A now. And this is a nice opportunity for them to increase the winning streak to three games. Genoa can't put up a big fight against Roma as long as they are completely focused on the game. Genoa haven't been able to defeat Roma in the Serie A for nearly eight years. And as Genoa are out-of-form now, I think that Roma will get a comfortable win again.
Roma are coming back and they are not too far from top 4. Especially if we consider that many clubs from second to fifth positions are very unsustainable with their performance, Roma still have opportunity to beat them and finish in top 4.

Most importantly, they must complete their job first before looking at others and wait for bad results from opponents. They must be a better team with better results than others rather than only waiting for luck to become a better one amongst bad ones.
