I don't know for sure why Chelsea are performing badly at the moment, but it could be because the owner interferes too much with the club where there should be no interference from other parties including the owner in some matters. But now is not the time to talk about all of that, because Chelsea must start improving from now on, because the sooner they improve, the more likely they will be able to get back on their feet. They should take advantage of the final moment of this season to evaluate to make the team even better.
Surely too much interferes of the owner is having bad impact on Chelsea recently, and they are going down badly even right now with this form most chances they could be ended in lower ten of the Premier League table which could be shameful for them because they have resources and players but still having result like this is surely not acceptable for any fan right now we have third coach which is now going to manage until end of this season with now they have the toughest match against Real Madrid for the semifinal spot with first leg they lost by 2 - 0 and now most chances they have no chance for the fightback and have spot into last four of the Champions League in this season.

Most chances we will have the good number of changes in coming summer window which will help this club for having better performance in coming season which is still not easy task for the new coach, but this season is surely one of the worst for the club.

Actually, the battle for the championship title has never been exciting this season, has it? Class difference is just too big with the rest of the teams. Take a look at PSG's lead. And even then PSG haven't even had a great season yet, they still easily won the championship title. But it's not worth much in Paris, that title has no importance. Not a good season nationally anyway because they won't win the cup title either because they have already been eliminated there. Lens is still in 2nd place but Marseille and Monaco are not far behind and my prediction is that both teams will overtake Lens in the rankings.
No doubt about this once again we have bored end of season with no team able to give challenge PSG for the title race which is surely not attractive in this French League even Marseille, Monaco and Lens give some good performance but still this was not enough for having entertaining end of this season PSG which is also not strong as we have them in past years facing some issues which need to be settled with Marseille and Monaco also needs consistency if they want to be in for the title race in next season.

Lille and Lyon after having the worst start of this season now having improvement which is good sign, but league needs good investment for having entertaining end and matches because most of the teams are having problem they are playing without quality players which is surely not going to help for having interesting matches.

What happened in the Real Madrid - Cadiz match, what positions Real Madrid missed. Most of the attacks were clear goal positions and there were games that developed very well. In Real Madrid, everyone missed the goals one by one, and in the end, Nancho was the first to score. After this goal, Cadiz's resistance was immediately broken and Asensio scored the second goal. Militao was also very good at the level in the match, his long passes. In the stage, the balls he won from the opponent were quite successful. he has improved a lot.
It seems Ancelotti and his player are not getting disappointed yet because of this game they won, they should wait for Barcelona's match and wait to see where Barcelona is going to lose points however the gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona is bigger, and to be honest I don't expect to see Barcelona lose this much points until the end of this season.
I don't think Carlos Ancelotti and his boys are looking for the La Liga title because now we have just 9 matches left and difference is already 10 points Real Madrid is competing in three different cups and Barcelona is having only La Liga intention which is giving them advantage as well so here just staying for the second spot is also enough for them with Copa del Ray and Champions League their main focus which are also not bad with injuries hit season.

Atlético Madrid is also now having impressive time which will give them good results and chance for the second spot so most chances Real Madrid will compete for this spot strongly their performance against Cadiz was impressive, but they still need to work on their finishing 11 shots on goal and just 2 goals mean things are not as they need for staying at this spot until end of this season.

We are slowly approaching the end of the season. Feyenoord has delivered a great performance. So you see how much influence a trainer can have on his selection. Arne Slot has really done an awful lot of work and thanks to him Feyenoord is alive again. Since Erik ten Hag left Ajax, that has also become a mess. Better Poz has made a kind of half-open statement that he would like to talk to the club, but it seems that Ajax itself is not interested in Bosz, a pity. for Bos, the players but also for the supporters.
We have only six matches remaining in this season with mostly all things settled, and just routine procedure is going to leave Feyenoord is the Champions with fight for second and third spots are left any team can go ahead for the second spot just better performance on match day required for this after checking remaining fixtures I have feeling Ajax will be at the second spot and PSV have to end with another Europa Cup place because they were not good in this season and Ajax which sell their few best players suffered but have better recovery which allow them for the second spot.

Now after end of this season things could be manageable for both top Dutch clubs because they need to improve their quality for the next season and better performance, hopefully we will have Feyenoord in Champions League with the best available quality players for the best result.

PSG and Lens, everyone is looking at that game and should be an entertaining one. The league is almost over and PSG is still leading, even if they end up losing this game, they still have a huge chance to win the league but I think they will want to make a statement with this game.

Lens is second and the closest team to PSG, which means that there is a chance we could end up with absolutely nothing at all and we could end up with a big deal when the season is over, so in order to make this a statement, PSG may want to end up with a big win, like at least 3-0, possibly more if they can do that. Because if they do that, then it is basically saying "we weren't even paying attention so far, this is what happens if we paid attention" and would be lovely for them.

And also I'm feel bad for the lakers nowadays And I don't think so if what's going on with them why King James cant carry his team I think it's time to look another player who can assist and help king James to carry their team.
Looking at how Lakers played, there is this anger coming from AD that could make them play a lot better. He usually plays so casually and not really care about winning as much as some other players, and right now he looks like he plays with anger which is something we haven't seen in a long time from him.

If everyone stays healthy, I feel like AD and Lebron can take this team to finals and when you are in the finals I bet that Lebron can beat anyone, there aren't many teams in the world that can beat Lebron, not with AD for sure. I think it has happened frequently because everyone in the league built a team to beat Lebron to begin with, when you adjust teams rosters based on facing you, that makes you the threat to every team.
I feel like Warriors is the one that can do that. I mean if they can all stay healthy they are much better team, look at the roster and tell me they are not going to be beasting against everyone. I do not think that west is packed this year, there is this "everyone is close to each other" vibe but feels like that is because everyone played terribly.

Warriors had a troubling season on the road but if they can overcome that on playoffs they are the best. Lakers failed a lot this year, the last few games after the trade was good I will give you that but they still sucked all season long to be worthy of championship. They may play better and fight harder but they are not good enough to win anything at all, feel like they could just lose very quickly.

Many of us can relate with this. Yeah, we think that there is someone that watch us when we hunt these high multipliers and they will then screw us badly. Sometimes the multi's came too early and give us a tiny win and there are times that we will only deplete our allocated balance and not win anything at all.

This one is worse than the other. I think we better stop pre-rolling because in limbo, dice and similar casino games, they mainly work in luck. Early results doesn't dictate what will happen in the future. There are even people I see who constantly change/rotate their seeds thinking it will help them to win the game. They might win sometimes but it was only a co-incident.
1808  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 15, 2023, 05:40:04 AM
if there's an option why would the gamblers stay on that strict casino that's why it being asked many times in the forum about being required to comply with the KYC process. And with all of these requirements and stuff, this certificate is just going to be another obstacle for many gamblers and it's kind of annoying for some because there's this self validation that needs to be done and many of us don't like to be figured out like that as we know ourselves better.
Casinos that have a lot of players and are at the top will probably do their best to avoid having such a restriction even if the authorities try to force it on them, because they understand how critical this can be to the platform knowing a lot of gamblers will simply switch to another competitive platform and they will slowly start losing business.

Players who don't wish to comply with the rule of providing a responsible gambling certificate will start finding alternatives as soon as their favorite casinos makes the announcement about the new rule. That will be a nightmare for casino business, literally.
1809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 14, 2023, 06:36:51 PM
The casinos are one of the businesses that the government get taxes from because they're actively making profit. The government won't want to lose that tax revenue. The casino aren't responsible for your addiction too.

You should be able to control yourself and only bet with money you can afford to lose, if you can't handle your addiction then quit gambling and look for other ways you can make money or entertain yourself that isn't gambling.
I don't think it's an implementation that will limit gamblers to get involved, Casino runs a business and they never care how much user's money will run out, certificates as OP described also won't work to limit number of gamblers and level of restriction government also can't afford to play much bigger role.

Active gamblers have several criteria before playing and most of the addicted people are more difficult to control themselves and even though the state tries to block some Casino sites. The problem is not government certificates or bans, but gambling has been going on for decades long before online casinos began to develop.
No government or casino can stop someone with an addiction stops gambling no matter how hard they try, besides, casinos will basically not opt-in for such a policy knowing this will only cause them loss in their business as most of the revenue that they make come from people who are addicted of gambling and can't resist the urge to gamble.

A platform will basically lose a lot of its customers if they start asking for certificates of that kind all of a sudden, and that isn't something they would want to happen unless the governments force them to do so in which case they won't have a choice, but addicted gamblers will still find a way to gamble.
1810  Economy / Gambling / Re: justbit.io asking me for KYC although their site explicitly states no KYC on: April 14, 2023, 03:58:05 PM
-snip-
They just do not want to pay, is that simple
I wouldn't conclude that too early, the casino wouldn't know a typical crypto player whether they are anti-KYC or not.
With reference to fully crypto oriented centralized casinos, I think as long as they have restrictions and comply with regulations will implement KYC eventually.

But why stating "no KYC for crypto"? And why you gyys tend to justify sportsbooks when they are being unfair?! It's a known fact that most of the sites love to scam you. I do not get these kind of things, really...
No one is trying to justify that, we understand that it is unfair and wrong to ask for KYC from a user who has deposited and played with crypto while it is clearly written on the home page that there will be no KYC asked from gamblers playing with crypto, but, we also believe that it is a mistake by a gambler if they don't read the terms and conditions of a casino and make a deposit before that.

When we go shopping, we see and check every single thing before buying the stuff that we will use later on, and why do we not care about checking everything when we are spending money online? You are using your money for god's sake, what goes wrong if you spend a few minutes reading the terms and conditions?

I think Ronaldo did what he needed to do and that's the only thing that would matter. Sure maybe they will not be champions who knows, I still think that the league and the team sucks so he is not really responsible for anything, if you watch the league you can see how terrible they are compared to European clubs.

But, the fact that it is watched a lot more these days, is the proof that Ronaldo achieved what was asked of him to begin with. If this league is aired in so much more places thanks to him, and if the league as a overall makes more profit, that means they are doing a good job. He can lose a lot more games and it would still be fine because we are talking about a lot more viewers and money to begin with and that's enough.

Let him say whatever he wants to, we shouldn't really care much about what he or anyone in the fiat industry says about Bitcoin, he is not the one who makes the rules around here, we don't follow what he says and the world has proved that by not panicking or starting and FUD within the crypto community, no price drops, no much reactions, everything is normal.

Also, he is not the only one nor it's his first time blasting on something, he even says gold and real estate are bad investments, but who would believe what he says? Gold and real estate are one of the safest investment options mankind can ever have.
1813  Economy / Speculation / Re: What is the Bitcoin (BTC) Halving? Will Bitcoin Price Really Be $100K Next Year? on: April 13, 2023, 06:29:05 PM

 And if the bitcoin price can be over $100k, it is a big profit for us again.
Big profit or not depends on how many bitcoins you own. Bitcoin will have a new ATH or hit $100k it's just a matter of time it's important to us if we have a lot of bitcoin, it will benefit us, but if we don't have bitcoins, the price increase is also useless. Many people predict bitcoin to hit $100k, but I predict $150k or more, so I want bitcoin to drop more or not to rise in price too fast so I can accumulate as much as possible.
If you own small amounts of BTC, you will still earn decent as long as the price rise up to $100k but for those who have more BTC on their bags, they can earn much better. Before $100k, BTC will first hit a new ATH which can be $70k and above and there might be a couple of bear markets before we finally touch $100k.

Maybe there are some people who are only good at watching this market but there is no way they are investing. Don't worry much about them but we should only be focusing on our own selves. You want BTC to reach $150k but at the same time you want more drops? That's confusing mate. As a long-term investor, they can just buy at any price point and they still can earn a profit in the long run. DCA is only the key.
1814  Economy / Gambling / Re: Multidice.io | The multi-currency dice game | 35+ cryptos on: April 13, 2023, 05:55:09 PM
The site seems to be down. When was the last time someone accessed and played on Multidice?
I can see that their forum representative hasn't logged in since November 2022.
Does anyone have any more news? Is their faucet still working?
I'm not sure that this site can still function properly, moreover, there are several problems that have been complained about here, there are no clear responses.
It's been a few months ago I visited them and there was no good progress but since then I didn't know much about their progress because I never accessed them again.
Maybe they have completely closed the site and don't want to know anymore about the gambling business, but what I don't know about the information is when they closed the casino, did the gamblers registered there take all the remaining balance they had.
I tried to visit the link to see if it was still active but I only got an error. I guess that's a sign that they are gone in the business. One of the reasons would be is the problems that they are facing but if they truly have the passion, they will try their best to solve all of it.

Also, problems won't grow big if we already solve the small or previous problems. We still don't know them personally and maybe they have other problems too outside, that is why they only decided to stay in peace for a while and maybe they will only come back soon but with another image. If the site chooses to be good at the end, they will warn their users about their closure but if some are not attended, they can still lose their money there.
1815  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: April 13, 2023, 05:28:15 PM
ICC has no say in bilateral series so they can't interfere, they only come into the picture when pitch ratings come into play.

Taking toss advantage away from the home team is a good idea and many pundits talked about it over the years but ICC never acted on it. Also, almost half of the Indian team's wins at home came when they lost the toss so toss hardly matters when any team playing against India in India. Happened in many series, including BGT, against Poms, kiwis or against Proteas.
I understand currently ICC has nothing to do any bilateral series, but now I want them to do interfere with test matches can bring good revenue for ICC and related cricket teams because if we will bring this all under WTC then surely we will have the good number of test matches even few will be no interesting but still this could be beneficial for the all parties and ICC can go through into this format in good way.

But, here I also want to add now it's time for them to say goodbye to ODI after 2031 World Cup and just stay with Test matches and T20i which will be better things and few can stay with two teams as well which will be also helpful even just for few countries because all can't afford this luxury, but these are beneficial things which will bring more entertainment specially after England Bazball strategy things are going positive for the test format and many countries will try to follow them as well.

We lasted a day in our attempt to sign Bellingham Grin

The news broke yesterday that we're interested and that we have sent an inquiry and it was followed with 'Bellingham out of Liverpool's range' soon after.

Shame, he's one of the future stars but I never felt we really had a realistic chance there - especially without CL football next season.
I heard the news an hour ago and it is quite a shock that Liverpool are out of contention for Bellingham. Maybe this is more than Liverpool's insufficient funds to bring him to Anfield. On the other hand, Liverpool were also unable to compete with other rich clubs such as Manchester City, Real Madrid and PSG who offered each other fee agreements for Bellingham. This is a transfer rumor that is still quite complicated and we will still be waiting for further developments.
This is nothing new because I already heard about this all few months back when we have news Real Madrid and PSG both are interested in this transfer with Real Madrid is hot favourite even on last time anything can happen but with most chances Real Madrid is already prepared about this transfer and trying to arrange things for new soccer sensation.

But now as we have PSG as strong contender things could be more interested because we have few other rumors as well for few other big transfers with Chelsea and PSG both are going to overhaul their squads in coming season and this is going to be interesting time who is going to have which team, it's not easy to predict with too many big names are going to have good intention.
1817  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 12, 2023, 06:36:51 PM
Well, I had an experience when I made a deposit and nothing happened, here's the point of online you take all the risks. The most unpleasant thing is that you can still be blocked by everything.
I would call it your fault since you decided to use a platform without proper research and understanding of their background instead of choosing a casino that is already trusted within the gambling community and has a good reputation. Scammers are always waiting for prey like you to choose their platforms and make deposits so that they can live their lives easier.

Where did you find that casino by the way? Were you actually not aware of the famous crypto casinos or you just wanted to try something new? And did you contact their support? I guess they didn't respond, and if they did, what did they have to say about it?
1818  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What if they tried it on: April 12, 2023, 05:52:00 PM
This is why you need to avoid all centralized coins and only choose to invest in decentralized coin. It's need to be a 100% decentralized coin, you need to find a non custodial wallet that not depend on a centralized route and the decentralized exchange which you can access via Tor. This will make you stay undetected from any government, as long as you're care with your privacy.
We are talking about whole cryptos here and not just the centralized coins. To seize means to force confiscate even if what you hold is just Bitcoin in your non-custodial wallet. The government will send people in our doorsteps to investigate or forcibly search your home for private keys, seed phrases and other evidence which tells that you own a crypto. They can also use lie detectors and do other measures (tortures) only to know if that people is telling the truth or lying. That's scary.

I hope it will not happen in the future but banning of cryptos have already happened although this is not worse as what the OP have in mind because that is global and not only specific on some countries.
1819  Economy / Economics / Re: Does People Really Care About Decentralization? on: April 12, 2023, 02:44:10 PM
There is basically no concept of caring about decentralization or not, people tend to use whatever they get to use first, and since all centralized platforms were first fed to the public, they started using them and now they are so indulged in them that it is almost impossible to take them out of that and put them in another platform which is totally decentralized.

One more thing is the features that they offer, if we talk about exchanges, decentralized exchanges don't and can't have as many features to offer to their users as centralized exchanges can, and people will surely prefer the one which gives the more options than the one which has very limited use cases.
1820  Economy / Gambling / Re: Blockchain Casinos - Consumer's Choice 2023! on: April 12, 2023, 01:56:50 PM
Shouldn't a blockchain casino be decentralized and use the blockchain for betting purposes like connecting a wallet and signing contracts for each bet, etc.? I thought it should be that since some other users also mentioned that all these are actually crypto casinos because they offer cryptocurrencies for deposits, wagering, and withdrawal.

Anyway, if there is a competition or even awards where users can vote for their favorite casino and the casino that gets the most votes will emerge as the winner then Stake will probably lead with a very large margin. I just cast my vote and guess what, Stake got 19 votes while all others got zero except bc games.
