1541  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2021/2022 on: March 28, 2022, 08:16:32 PM
When viewed from the composition of the players, Manchester City is better prepared to face Liverpool this year in the FA Cup Final, while Liverpool's historical record is superior in every competition, but historical records are not a guarantee that Liverpool will easily face Manchester City now or vice versa. favoring Manchester city is not the basis they will easily beat Liverpool, speaking of the English league a team that is not counted can make a surprise, especially at the scale of Manchester City and Liverpool, so it is too early to make predictions about who will win the FA Cup this year
Manchester City and Liverpool currently these both teams are in perfect shape with their quality and skilled players but for me Liverpool is having some edge because their players are playing very aggressive game which is helping them in big games and on other note mostly Manchester City players are having no aggression like Liverpool. Right now things are in favor of Manchester City, but no one can give them any advantage against Liverpool because they are also well-prepared side and can go through in any competition.

Now things are very hard to predict about next two matches between these two teams with both are very curucial matches with one going to decide about Premier League champion and other is going to decide about finalist of FA Cup.

Now a days , most of the bounties scam with their bounty hunters, and Those projects continue to be scammed in the future. It's actually very Disappointing for the bounty hunters. In order to clear this, it is better to escrow the rewards in advance .
We thought that escrowing the tokens and altcoins are not possible because we have rarely seen a bounty did that before but that slowly changed. The bounty managers cant take it anymore. They are sick with left and right complaints of bounty hunters and other bounty managers about the scam projects and now the only solution that they can think of is to not accept any bounty until one of their team decided to put the funds on a trusted escrow.

- snip -
Nice one. Sometimes a bounty is hard and will ignore the complaints that they are receiving about the payments until someone threatens to report them. They are afraid that their reputation will get affected which leads for them to reschedule a date for the distribution of payments.
1543  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: March 28, 2022, 06:36:12 PM
Spanish leagues in this season look promising with the top teams strongly contending to hold good position on the league table with some also eyeing the champion leagues.
The Spanish league looks promising and fun, and becomes a very interesting spectacle because the big clubs are back competing for the second and third place standings, even Barca have returned to being a competitor to real Madrid, most likely Barca can secure the three points at their own home, and can beat Sevilla, if Barca manages to beat sevilla, the ATM opportunity to get a place in the third position of the standings is even more open, we should wait for Barca to be able to play consistently until the end of the season.
A good thing is now we have nearly seven to eight teams which are competing and having good results in presence of three giants which is good with these improvements we can watch some more healthy competition in next few seasons because now many teams are bringing some quality players which are creating good competition for big teams even it's not easy and need some more time, but good thing dominance is going to change in favor of other teams.

Valencia and Villarreal both are unpredictable but still having good results with staying in middle of the table but sadly Rayo Vallecano after having amazing start now dropping badly which is big concern for their management.

Sevilla which also done all season very reasonable job now having also bad time with most chances they will also drop to fourth but still good job by them in all season.

if gamer will be allowed to interact with influencers, especially those well-known names.

The chance to bring more people to the sites is very possible, as we know that some if not all gamer are also a fan of known personalities
giving them a chance to talk or to have some time with their favorite star will bring them to keep coming back.

Not sure, but that's a good way to give gamer / participant assurance that influencers are really playing and using the site/platform.
That's going to happen because drake will soon start his own stream. I saw that ad in stake. We know that in streams a fan or a follower can interact to those who are in streaming and for them to get noticed easily they can send gifts or use premium feature of the streaming site. I think drake haven't done something like this before? Streaming in public.

This thing is only possible because of stake. Partnerships from a known brand or personality usually happens on sports in real life but for online casinos and sportsbetting sites that are cryptocurrency based, they are still rare so indeed this can be the next big thing in this industry.
1545  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which sports are you placing bets on? on: March 27, 2022, 09:28:17 PM
There are a lot of players around the world. Not every games are favorite in all region. Some likes soccer, some maybe esports or some cricket or others.
Which one are you mostly placing your bets on? Besides, do you think gambler don't care which sport it is. I have seen gambler who don't have any fucking idea about cricket but he used to bet on cricket.
If a gambler bets on the game that he did not know, chances are he is only testing his luck and if he is lucky he can still score a win. Second reason that I can think of is there are promotion on that specific game, that is why they bet on it only to take advantage of the on going promotion. In sports betting it is now easy to copy bet from the other player, if you know the bettor, you will trust his bets.

In my case, I am not usually into sports but I do like esports, dota games to be specific. I can bet on the game any time of the day. It is important to bet on a game that you like because not only it can increase your chance to win but you can also enjoy watching the game.
1546  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Buying BTC vs Mining it on: March 27, 2022, 08:54:20 PM
Better to buy bitcoin than to mine it. You will be spending more on mining than you will be earning from the rewards. The cost of power, equipment, maintenance and lots of other things will add up making everything very expensive for you. You have to spend a lot of time making sure the hardware is running properly and is maintained well enough.
Just buy bitcoin and hold them. You will be earning more in the long run.
But, what if you will be using solar and other forms of free energy to mine a crypto? and what if you use your mining equipment with care like you will turn it off once you feel it was over heating, only to relax the machine so that it can last longer. That should lessen the expense of mining. Mining can still be better than buying a btc if things done right.

For an average joe that is afraid to take risk and have a very limited knowledge, they probably avoid mining even if they didn't understand it properly or didn't prove to themselves that mining is truly hard or unprofitable than simply buying a btc but anyone can still lose even if they just simply buy and hodl a btc.
1547  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why Gas Fee is too High? on: March 27, 2022, 08:24:00 PM
The ethereum gas fees is crazy for small traders like us but it is not a concern for whale, that's why the big project still chooses ETH as the starting place to develop. In return for expensive gas fees, ETH is safer than the rest of the networks which is what projects care about.

There have been many other networks created to replace ethereum but most of them cannot beat ETH. Enough to show the importance of ETH in the market.
And if we noticed, most hacks that are happening now is either from bsc or from the other newer networks. People only complain about how high the fee of the eth but they did not know that once they got hacked they can lose more than what they pay for the eth fees.

Hacks that are happening are not a joke because they are mostly billions if not trillions. other networks cant replace eth, it was like the eth cant replace btc but they are created only to serve as an alternative if one is not comfortable with the other. Until now a lot of us still believe that eth fees can return to normal and for that we are waiting for the deployment of eth 2.0 that is said to be coming now.
1548  Other / Archival / Re: Bitcoin at $1 000 000 by 2030 on: March 27, 2022, 02:50:18 PM
Just be realistic, don't get your hopes up high, if you believe buy Bitcoin, if not don't buy it,
2030 is still a long time away, we should focus on this year and 2023,

because if this year Bitcoin is able to end its bulls at a price of more than $100k ,
then I can still be sure that $400k can be achieved at the next halving
It's not bad to daydream sometimes. we can imagine only imagine if how much our profit will be by the time btc hit 1m or what stuffs can we buy with it, etc but once we are done, we can go back again on the current situation. Our short-term expectation for now if when will btc hit $100K.

This one is more realistic because btc already touch $68k last November 2021. Imagine if the price stays consistent I think we are already seeing $100k or more right now. The next halving date is on 2024, we still have 2 years and I think the btc value will be at $200k or more before the event so 400k is also going to be possible by the time halving has done.

An easy win for New Zealand team today over Pakistan. New Zealand gave target of 265 runs and Pakistan concluded there WC journey by 71 runs short of that target. So far only Australia and SA have qualified for the semi finals. England have one match left with weak Bangladesh while India has to face mighty SA in there last encounter. Its
Actually, I think that England has a really good chance of qualifying for the semifinals. You know, Bangladesh should be an easy opponent for them.
But I think India versus South Africa is going to be really interesting. South Africa has already qualified for the semi-finals, they are tension free now.
So, it seems they are going to take things easy and that might help India.
No doubt now after losing first few matches England is heading for their semi-final spot after beating minors Bangladesh because they are defending champions and already have their lessons from these defeats against Australia, West Indies and South Africa.

Tomorrow we have every exciting matches between South Africa vs India this match is must win situation for India if they want to qualify for semi-final and South African already have their spot in this with good performance against all teams in group stages in last five matches South Africa beat India four times and India won only one time which happened in 2021 so now here we can expect some good fight from Indian team if they want to qualify and it is only practice match for South African as they have done their job. We can expect any result because South African will be relaxed and India could be desperate for their win.

West Indies have scored 134 runs of the loss of 7 wickets right now. And this pitch is obviously a bowling pitch.

West Indies are still trailing by 70 runs. and it seems like they are not going to be able to take a lead.
I think they are going to be bowled out before that.

In my opinion, these are the type of test matches I like to enjoy because I  really like to say batsmen working hard for their runs Instead of just getting free runs.
I was thinking the same that WI won't be able to take lead but they are 28 runs ahead with still 2 wickets in hands. A 54 runs innings from Joshua Da Silva and good support from other players lower down the order. West Indies are now right back in the game. Even 50 runs lead will be very handy at such surface.
English test cricket is at their lowest level with lost 4 - 0 against Australia in The Ashes and now here in West Indies after two draw matches mostly peoples feeling they are in good touch and can win this series like Australia after winning third test match.

But, Da Salva's amazing Century bring West Indies at driving seat now they are near to win this match as England start their second inning with trailing by 93 runs right now they are 31 for 3 with top order batsmen giving wickets like crap Crawley, Root and Lawrence all gone very cheaply now Alex Lees and Ben Stokes at crease with 62 runs still need for avoiding inning defeat and West Indian bowlers Mayer's and Seals are unplayable for visitors in second inning.
1551  Economy / Economics / Re: Inflation hitting the world every year on: March 26, 2022, 09:07:14 AM
Inflation is real and is gere to stay even after we are long gone. I pity the next generations to come though. Anyway, knowledge is power, and inflation wouldn't be that much of a scary problem for anyone who knows how to diversify assets. And I don't mean just crypto currency. If you only see crypto currency as the only solution to inflation, then you're fcked. You need to read more then. I just hope that people would be more aware with the wide variety of ways to protect themselves from the inevitable inflation problems.
Inflation is nothing new at all, it has been happening for long. But one thing for sure is that people has always survived it and they will continue to survive it no matter what. It’s not like if there was no inflation that everyone will be rich. Even if there is nothing like inflation, there are still going to be poor. People who know the right choices to make and invest wisely will always be the ones to get rich.

And for sure cryptocurrency shouldn’t be the only thing that we are into, we can as well have a business or a job (but it’s best to be self employed if you can) and making sure that we are generating income from different sources.
1552  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your opinions about simulated reality games? on: March 26, 2022, 07:11:22 AM
There is no way you could verify those games are trusted or not. They are simulated games. They can be rigged any moment to favor the casino/provider. So, yeah, they are NOT trusted services. So if you want to play, you will have to trust them blindly.
Why do you have to bet on those simulated games when there are real live games/matches available? Or if you want to gamble,  just play on normal casino with normal games where you can verify all bets individually (provably fair).
I mean, it's just like how sports works, you can't exactly say for sure whether a game is rigged or not, so I guess we can give them the benefit of the doubt, though I do agree with just betting on live games instead if you really want to bet on sports games. Simulated games are just numbers fighting against each other, nothing more nothing else. Though if that's what you want, then go for it. I think it's more friendly in terms of actually relying on data when trying to predict the outcome.
You can tell because the movement of the player are weird but that can rarely happen and till now lots of people still have a trust on sports/betting. I know nothing about sri but it looks boring based on how you described it. This game is not for me but I will enjoy the games with real action.

I think if there are no other choices, people will play a game like sri and I think sri is already a thing before the sports betting came out? But, the moment sports betting came out, people then move to it, leaving sri behind, that's why we rarely hear an update with it. It wasn't bad at all because if your lucky you can still win and a sportbetting can also depend on luck sometimes.
1553  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Drake became partners of the Stake Casino on: March 26, 2022, 06:36:21 AM
There does need to be a proper investigation into the contacts Drake and Stake had before this big announcement happened on twitter, because it seems highly suspicious. They both had huge benefits from what happened, even if it was totally innocent andl external third party needs to establish the facts but knowing how toothless such regulators are in most countries it'll never happen. It actually makes me trust both of them even less, at the very least they could have left a bigger time gap in between - like one year, which would have removed more doubt.
Stake did not care anymore if people will doubt on them or not but why will someone doubt on it in the first place, I mean this is not a big issue at all in my opinion. It's not illegal or what. The world sees what drake did and the hype was still there so the stake casino took advantage with it. If they wait more time, it will not be as hyped as now although it can still make a good impact due to how famous drake was.

If let say drake have no connection before, the only one that get the benefit is stake because a famous personality is playing on their platform and it's a big profit for them if drake loses the amount he gambled but we don't know, maybe drake have lost some of his bets before. The casino still gains something anyway, win or lose.
1554  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League & 1. League 2021/22 Season on: March 25, 2022, 08:23:59 PM
I still have mixed feelings about Valérien Ismaël. As a manager he's not much experienced and the most important thing is his formation don't fit Beşiktaş. We never play like Conte or Simeone's clubs. We always have the ball control, attack and play with four defenders. He uses three defenders and more defensive game play. I don't know how that work out in Turkish league.
He didn't train same club for more than a year, that's another questionable thing about him. I hope he will be successful in Beşiktaş.
Valérien Ismaël is surely an interested move by Besiktas because as you already mention he never complete a season at any club and his record is also not good enough with his last assignment was with WBA in English Championship where he stays just eight months and now joining this Turkish Elite club which is having some problems in this season with their performance currently at 8th position with chance of having some better spot.

But for me, it has never been idea deal for Besiktas because they need someone who can handle this position for long term and bring back this club at better spot with their quality and performance which is currently not working for them but still best wishes for this new manager as well because maybe we have some better results from him here at Besiktas.

It seems like this guy is a diehard Bitcoin supporter,but so what?
He isn't some multimillionaire,billionaire or a celebrity.His opinions won't influence millions of people to join the Bitcoin world.He is a member of the aristocracy,but that doesn't hive him any authority whatsoever.
Maybe inflation will disappear,if Bitcoin gets globally accepted as the one and only global currency,but I can't see this happening.The central banks and the governments will try to do whatever they can to preserve their monetary power and control.
His background tells that he is into financial markets so he probably build some interest in bitcoin. Now what? Well he figured out that bitcoin is much better in fiat as it can fight inflation. Have you check the link provided by the OP?

The guy was a royal and I think royals are more wealthier than a regular millionaire or billionaire. They might not be as popular as a celebrity because they are not seen on the TVs or in the media very much often but any celebrity is nothing compare to a royal. More countries now adopts bitcoin and soon btc will be adopted globally but I think fiats are still be the priority so no inflation aren't going to disappear permanently.
1556  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 24, 2022, 08:14:10 PM
To be honest I don't think it's brave from Australia. if anything I think it's just straight-up stupid, and it looks more stupid now because they were not able to get any wicket.

I think the main win condition for Australia is going to be wickets in the first session the next day. Otherwise, Pakistan is going to win this match is easy without any doubt. I don't think this match is going to end in a draw, either Pakistan is going to be bowled out or they are going to get the runs tomorrow.
I agree with you may be not good enough from Australia but on other side I think you don't know about Pakistan they are world's most unpredictable team in cricket, and they can create problems for themselves as well.

But, still it's a very big gamble from Australia and captain Cummins right now after end of fourth day play I am feeling it's second the worst decision from this new Captain in this tour first at Karachi and now second at Lahore if they lost this test and series then surely there could be many questions about his captaincy even he won The Ashes at home without any problem but playing away and done mistakes like this are surely going to create some big problems for this young and talented player.

Now that the coronavirus is also slowly extinguishing, can all tournaments soon be played again under the watchful eye of the spectators? Especially at Grand Slam tournaments that was a really strange sight to see. It sometimes seemed like a training party because there was no cheering from the audience. And there are also players who will perform better if there is a large audience. It remains strange that Djokovic simply still does not get vaccinated and that he is refused, unimaginable that he has his own ego so high.
Surely it's very good news for many sports fans and players in many countries restrictions are ended with life is coming to normal after nearly two years, and we will be able to have some good things back like hopefully in coming weeks we will have tennis events without any restriction with full of audience in ground. But recently we have few bad news as well because Ash Barty is already announced retirement and now Nadal is also out of tennis for 6 weeks which is surely the worst news hopefully after end of these restrictions we will have Djokovic in action again in coming few weeks.

Next big event is Roland Garros which is going to start 22nd May with Djokovic is going to defend his title.

This is going to be difficult for them, even if people dream of making money while doing nothing, the truth is that very few people can do something like that, people have the need to do something in order to get success, and it is because of this why holding bitcoin is not as popular as it could be despite the overwhelming evidence about being the best and safest strategy that you can use to earn money, so with that in mind even if I think your advice is correct very few people are going to follow it.
Yeah, really those people are not used to waiting that long for an investment to generate profit, especially when they don’t have enough money to spare. It can be an easy thing for the whales, they have lots of money, so there is more than enough to spare and they can decide to invest in the market and hold for as long as they want and not even feel it.

For someone who don’t have that much, there is the possibility that they would find themselves in a position where they will be in need of the money that they have invested and that would make them to withdraw that money and that disrupts the whole plan of HODL'ing.

other people strategies could not fit your style and may not work for you, same for the others. Once you have tried different strategies from different sources and try to choose which one suits the best for you and stick to it for long time, maybe you will get something from it. Different strategies could require you to thinking different stuff and you might not the best one for that.
Yeah, most people are failing because they are always looking at the strategies that other people are using, not knowing that same thing that is working for someone else in the market might not work for you if you should apply the same strategy. So, it is always good to make sure that we learn our own strategy and work on it to the extent that we become experts in it and be able to apply that strategy in every situation and make it work for us.

Although for some people before they would be able to get a really good strategy that works for them, they would have to try out as much as possible and look into most of the strategies that are available to be able to make their decision on which one works perfectly for them.
1560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Where is SHIB coin going? on: March 23, 2022, 07:09:55 PM
if you look at the development of the shib who continues to try to improve themselves so that they don't continue to be coin memes, this is something that should be appreciated. Even though we know that the amount of supply, which is very extraordinary in number, has begun to be cut by burning, of course this is one of the goals to be able to raise the value of the shib itself. not to mention that several innovations that will be carried out and are being carried out are also something that many investors aim to be interested in wanting to invest in shib. although it is not easy to be able to quickly increase in a market situation that is also corrected, but if Shib wants to do another supply reduction, there will be a surprise.
They do not like to be a memecoin and they are trying to be more than that, I will give you that much. But are they good at it? I mean most people still see it as a memecoin, I certainly do and I can find thousands of people who do.

It means that even though they are trying to show themselves as something else, they are failing at doing that. They need to improve a lot but even the name itself called "shibainu" will always have a stigma to it no matter how much they improve. Which is why I do not think that even though they are working hard to be more than what they are right now, there is no way they could succeed on what they are doing.
