Manchester City and Bayern are indeed the favorites of the Champions League, but Real Madrid are not even in the top five contenders in terms of bookmakers:

Manchester City FC 3.80

Bayern Munich 4.65

Liverpool 6.05

Chelsea 7.60

Paris Saint-Germain 9.95

Ajax 15.00

Real Madrid 17.00

Surprisingly, even Ajax is rated higher than Real. I know Ajax is having a fantastic season, but I think it still has to prove that it can play well even against top clubs. Interestingly, Chelsea and Liverpool are close by, just like in the EPL.
It is very interesting honestly. Because Chelsea have a better odd than PSG just because they are the last champions in the CL. And Ajax are favoured by bookmakers even more than Real Madrid. I get that Ajax have been really awesome so far. Their performance in the group stage was just extraordinary surely. But this still doesn't mean that they are better than Real Madrid. If we somehow see a draw between them, I strongly believe that Real Madrid would eliminate them.
It's because we have some good hype around PSG and in reality Chelsea is much better than PSG on ground, and they can advance in better way for rest of competition here I am feeling Ajax is also having some good chance with some very good and quality players their next match is against Benfica which is having not good time.

With Manchester City and Bayern are always bookies most favorite teams around Champions League but this time again most chances these both teams are not going to have better results in presence of Liverpool, Chelsea, Ajax and Real Madrid because most chances we will have winner from these four teams for next title as well.

The best possible start from Milan. They took a 2-0 lead in the 21st minute. I thought Roma could score points from them, but I must be wrong. Roma have yet to attack in the match. Milan will win this match if they do not change the direction of the game in the following minutes.
Surely no one was expecting a start like this from them, they have very early very handy lead with Roma is having better ball possession but still no good attempt from them on opponent's goal post and AC Milan is doing attacks very frequently with now 2 - 0 is on score board.

With very good number of ill players on list AC Milan is still having some good firepower as legendary Ibrahimovic still to come with this win now they can feel better points gape is one with leaders Inter as now their match is postponed with too many covid-19 cases which is serious concern right now with many leagues in Europe hopefully we will have some better solution this time and not going to cancel all things which already damage all teams in the past.

Do you know why BTC costs so much now? Because it is literally the first cryptocurrency. So just like BTC, YAY Games are pioneers in a brand new sphere and I guess you understand that it’s a great opportunity to lead the market.
So you're comparing a new project to Bitcoin? How many coins are in the market every day, and how many people keep track of them? Crypto Market Relationships People are getting the wrong information that the medium of quick profit is the crypto market, as a result of which newcomers are coming to this market and are being misled by some people. So think realistically and analyze realistically why you think this project is special.
Leave him be, there are so many people who are seeing delusions whenever they are looking at a new project that they like. I have to say there are so many projects that "will go above bitcoin" and in the end none of them ever will. The only coin that has a chance these days is ethereum and that's not really going to happen anytime soon.

I am hoping that people will eventually realize this but there won't be anything left to discuss when ETH does it, because if one does, then others may eventually or at least get that hope. These new projects definitely won't, in order for bitcoin to be lower than these new projects, then bitcoin needs to fall to zero and not other projects go up, because they can't go up that much.

India is a team who have a lot of quality players not being able to play just because there are too many quality players for the squad.

If what you said comes out true and Virat is not playing to show his displeasure, that will be a huge loss for him. As India surely has a batter to replace him and once you get out of the Indian squad, it's quite hard to make a return.

And with the form Virat is in right now, I don't think what he's thinking is the right decision. He might be the sole reason for his own downfall and no one can do anything about it.
Right now, India is full of quality and skilled players, so now it's time for Kohli to came down on earth and do his work for staying into time for some more years because I check many cases discipline is most important for any team and country instead of player and his records. So, if he is doing anything selfishly then management need to take some stick action against him as this will be good for many others in pipeline for having better and powerful role in future.

I never have any doubt about his commitment for country and skills in this game, but now it's time for having change his mind and play like a legendary player instead of doing foul plays against any other even he is doing something wrong he needs to be good.

Unlike the US, Japan and most of the EU have a national pension fund which basically runs on current contributions rather than past ones, and there is no way you can tax poeple enough to pay pensions if the numbers are 1:1. In most of the EU, the average wage is double the retirement, if the number of workers goes on parity from 2:1 you would need to tax workers an extra 25% just to pay those.
I would guess that old people are not really getting those pensions for free, they have paid for it and they have earned that right. If you as the younger person working feel disturbed for paying that, then you should realize that when you are older, you will have to keep working otherwise they will not pay you and you will be left to die. I would not want that when I am older, I want to live a better life, and if I am paying for it, then who to care?

It is like saying I am investing right now, and in the future I will eat the benefits of my investment, it is totally normal and instead of investing into gold or stocks or bitcoin, they invest into their pensions. Nations will pay it with their tax income, because they took it, if you took it with a promise then you need to pay it back in the future as well. That's as expected as it gets and not a "burden" considering everyone gets a turn.
1846  Economy / Economics / Re: Robert Kiyosaki expects a market crash and economic crisis - do you believe it? on: January 04, 2022, 05:42:52 PM
I like how he says "Crash and Depression coming," without not only saying the exact that, but not even saying approximate date. Specially saying it during red market. This is same as saying it will be warmer after cold winter days. If a weather forecaster would come with such info, he will be fired immediately. Robert Kiyosaki is just playing on emotion and advertises his name. His prediction might come true this year, or next week, or in 100 years. I would not pay much attention to his expectation. I would not start stock up on food, or convert all fiat money into gold, real estate, crypto, just because fiat will depreciate.
He was always that kind of guy, he always said that you should collect assets and make debt doing it, and that the market would always crash, and even inflation alone would mean that you would be losing a ton of money. At the end of the day, we are talking about something that is big, and I mean seriously big and that usually means that we were talking about 50%+ crash in stock markets and all, a 2008 type of deal, a 2020 type of deal but longer. I mean these type of short span stuff due to pandemic happened and ruined many business' around but then it recovered and people are doing fine right now.

Moreover, would say that things are not looking amazing for Robert because he used to be seen as a guy who is smart and "figured it out" but the reality is that everyone figured it out by now, so he is not telling something original anymore.

^Sometimes casinos do something that we may not like, but they are not scamming anyone, it is just a very bad idea. Like KYC situation, I never liked it and I will never like it, it never made sense to me and only gambled at places I can gamble without KYC or gamble with very little money to stay under KYC levels just to continue or even sometimes throw away money that I know I can't withdraw if it is basically dust like few bucks.

All in all Stake is managing this new 2022 situation very badly, just started and there are already so many complaints, and each of them are good enough reason to quit playing here and go somewhere else and nobody can make you stay if you do not want to. However, "scam" is not the right way to approach this, scam is something else, it is literally stealing your money, taking away your VIP rights or making you fill out extra hard forms or anything else is not really a scam, it is just annoying.
1848  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: When bear market? on: January 01, 2022, 08:38:23 PM
Probably you must need to wait for some more time because this yearend must be dominated by bearish trend but sometimes you may not need to wait till the end of the year; and I am expecting that is the point you will be surprised.
Yes, many experienced people have speculated like the current on-going bullish trend will last till the mid of this year hence to experience the bearish trend, I guess we do not need to wait till the year end; but we need to note here that these are all just speculation and not exact technical based predictions hence anything could happen.

I am also in plan to make use of bearish trend by selling at the end of bullish market but not sure when and where the current bull market will end.

If the future of Sri Lankan cricket is looking bad... then what do you say about that of teams like Pakistan and Bangladesh? At least Sri Lanka managed to reach the finals. But the one sided nature of matches is a cause for worry. The gap between pig-3 (India in this case) and the rest is widening. Cricket is dying outside the tier-1 test nations. And even among the lower ranking test nations, the future is not looking very bright. I won't be surprised if India ends up like the US in basketball, in 5-10 years from now.
NBA in The USA and IPL in India is completely different, and I am not agreed with you here that India could on this level in next few years because we have 3 different formats and all need some good quality and skills for having good form which is not possible for them with just IPL their other domestic set up is not good enough for producing good players and Australia having very good record in this with their strong domestic system now New Zealand is also improving quality after having some good intention from youths and better results in last two ODI world cups with WTC win is bonus for them.

England requires some good changes, then surely they will also back in form with some better quality. With all difficulties and dirty politics, Pakistan is also doing good in cricket for many years.

It occurred to me to remember that Liverpool's match on the UCL stage, whether it was in the group stage or in the knockout phase in the past, at that time Liverpool found the opponent was a mediocre team, whether it was a team from where the opponent was, I forget. But at least it happened a few times at that time but unfortunately, Liverpool against a mediocre team or maybe it can be said is a dark horse team several times Liverpool have lost. But when Liverpool play a top team then I remember Liverpool will be able to finish well and with the history I remember like that, it is very possible to play against Inter this knockout round at least Liverpool still promises a good result. Also, when teams from England play against teams from Italy, I personally feel most of them will always side with the England team but yes, even though it's not certain but it looks like teams from England can indeed play more powerfully.
It is totally understandable to lose to a dark horse type of team when you least expect it. That's the type of team Liverpool is, they could beat Barcelona 4-0 to go to next stage, and then lose to some mediocre team instead. Even if not mediocre, even if it is like atalanta or dortmund which are teams not at the top like Bayern, Psg, City or something like that, they are still not low level teams neither, and Liverpool should be able to beat those teams for sure.

Sometimes they just give up I think, if you watch the games you know how hardcore Liverpool plays and I feel like they can't do this for 90 minutes, by the end of first half they should be tired beyond measure and yet they do it, and sometimes you watch them and they are just basically walking around the pitch. This is why I am not entirely sure if it is smart to predict them beating anyone, but not smart to assume they will lose to anyone.

Don't hope to win only a rolex or iphone someday, babygun. Being a so active user I'm sure you can get that lambo as well! Smiley

As the time goes by, the excitement to know who is going to be the next lucky winner increases. So far I've received 2 tickets, but I expect to get more once I accumulate at least two hundred wheel's spins to roll all at once.

That lambo is the sweetest prize I've ever seen being offered and if I'm not the one predestined to win it, I would like that it was someone else active on this forum.
Hopes and dreams give us energy for everyday fight and having good fight for our future I am also having dream of some very good prize from here and spending daily some good time with many tactics but until now I have very poor run with I deposited nearly 0.012 bitcoins and now my account showing just 20000 satoshis because I mostly lost these into multiply and betting events but still have good hope for winning some good win because.
 
It's all just need some good luck on your day, and you are in for win now I am also desperately waiting for day when we will have announcement about next winner of this Lambo which is dream of every person who is here on this thread and on this site for some time.
1852  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: December 30, 2021, 08:15:00 PM
Sevilla - Dinamo Zagreb can be another delightful matchup in this tournament. Sevilla are one of the biggest candidates of the Europa League title now. People are talking about Napoli, Barcelona and Dortmund about a title chance. But they are not the only contenders. Sevilla have the best history in this tournament among these teams. Dinamo Zagreb may be one of the decent clubs of the EL but I don't think that they can make a surprise against Sevilla.
With current form and history both favouring Sevilla, but Dinamo Zagreb is also having some decent form recently, and they are improving their quality day by day but here when we have all big whales from Europe they have very fewer chances for going through and their first match is also going against team like Sevilla, but we can expect some tough resistance from them for having some chances for qualifying into next round.
Napoli vs Barcelona is also very tough match, so we will lose one off hot favorite in very early stage with Dortmund and Sevilla is already having some better chance for going through into next round.

What will the chaiman of ICC do here? ICC is being controlled by these big boards because of the enormous contribution that they get from them. BCCI cannot work outside the Indian government jurisdiction. The Indian government does not want to keep ties with Pakistan and the same has been followed by the BCCI.
Pakistan and India matches are always excited to see. There is more scope of India Pakistan series then Ashes. England and Australia are playing Ashes for decades regardless of what there government relationships were, why can't Pakistan and India keep playing with each other ? It will give huge financial benefits to both boards.
Here all statements are good about India and Pakistan relationship have no sympathy from anyone, and sadly we are not good enough to do things like UEFA which is the worst part of this area.

I agree that we have no change in next 5 to 10 years and this is not talk able because no party wants to have soft policy for other side, specially now as India is having more control in ICC. Finances are having very big impact in current covid-19 era and India will never allow giving any benefit to them and ICC can't do anything, it's just PCB who has to settle thing for there survive in cricket community.

So if we said 2025 or upto 2030 perhaps, its possible 100k can take that long but I do think it occurs on the precondition that BTC itself at least remains as valid and used as it is presently.
Bitcoin is always going to remain valid and used actively although I agree other cryptos are taking a share of the market rapidly. That said, they are all categorized as altcoins while Bitcoin is sort of standalone crypto so it will always remain valid and active.

I am sure $100k will be hit within 2022 itself, we don't have to look at 2025 or 2030 that time around we may be looking at million dollars maybe.
1855  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Biggest Gambling Win in 2021 on: December 27, 2021, 08:59:52 PM
It will be good if we can share our highest win which we achieved in this year through gambling and also which gambling platform was lucky for you.
My highest win was when I bet with $10 to win $40. It was two different matches. The first was 2 odds to win $20 and the second was another 2 odds to win another match. They were both more than 2 odds but slightly more than, that is the reason I rounded it up to be 2 odds which makes it 4 odds in total.

I do not gambling with high amount of money and just few win is enough for me. I strictly prefer to gamble on football, notable ones like EPL and UCL has been my best choice.
Parlays are always cool and while I have not hit more than 10-12 odds of my own trying 100s of parlays, I have seen guys hitting some outrageous odds on sports parlays like 500+ odds. There was a guy in a sportsbook ( I won't take name because it would look like I am promoting them ) who shared his slip that contained some 11 events on small odds though but he actually won all 11 folds of that parlay and it was some 550+ odds parlay.

I once had a chance to win a parlay with 40+ odds but I was nervous and I cashed out my bet after 4 successful folds because it was a $50 bet and I could not resist the temptation to cash out my bet.
1856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 27, 2021, 01:00:58 PM
Chelsea's performance lately have been unstable, and it will be very difficult for them to win the Champion League trophy again this season. Although, am not underestimating them, this is Football and anything can happen. But, I don't think they can probably be the winner this season. However, their Round 16 matches will be against Lille. While in terms of squad strength, Chelsea are more stronger compared to Lille, which means if Chelsea are well prepared. They will surely beat Lille.
I would say that winning UCL twice in a row is a very very difficult task. It watered down in value recently because Real Madrid managed to do it three times in a row and that is why people imagine it as a possible thing but it is very very difficult. If you wagered on winning team to not win it again for the past 30 years, you would be right you would have been right every single time except that Real Madrid period. That is why it is quite important to realize Chelsea may not end up winning at all, because not many people have managed to do it.

By the looks of it City and PSG and Bayern are the big trio that will have the biggest chance this year, but same could be said for last year and we all know what happened there.

Until 2010 or so, foreigners were not allowed to represent national teams. That situation changed only 10-12 years ago, when the Emirates Cricket Board pressured the ICC to change the rules, with open support from the pig-3. And the gulf model has been adopted by the other countries as well. Out of the 105 ICC members, more than half (especially those in the gulf and the Europe) doesn't have a single citizen playing for them. And because of these nations, those teams playing with native players are losing out.  
It is a news for me; I have not come across any article on the foreign player policy of ICC. If I remember correctly, I first saw Kevin Peterson was playing for England and Usman Khawaja for Australia after that lots of players migrated to New Zeeland, Australia and England.

In my opinion, the country which got the maximum benefits out of this foreign player policy must be England as they have won the 2019 WC with an Irish Skipper.

I have not seen India signed any foreign player so far but interestingly India head coach Rahul Dravid once played for Scotland; I was really surprised on hearing that but not getting any background information about that deal because as far I have been watching him since his debut in 1999, he was successful with India and led India for 2007 WC as well but not sure when he played for Scotland.
1858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 27, 2021, 07:26:37 AM
Early in the second day, the English bowlers found the truck. Before lunch, the Australian team collected 131/4. Now Head and Harri are at the crease. If these two batsmen are out before the end of the second session then England will be able to fight in the second innings. Otherwise, Australia will give a lead of at least 150 runs. As a result, another humiliating defeat awaits England.
Right now Australia have gained good momentum considering the starting overs. Somehow it has managed to score 219 runs losing 8 wickets. More two wickets left which will probably allow Australia to score around 250 runs. Anyhow Australia will set around 50 runs lead. Pat Cummins on the crease and this time England have got a chance to make use of it.
England is struggling right now after trailing by 82 runs. Mitchel Starc's brilliant 2 wickets in two balls made England in back foot but after that Boland took another 2 wickets in 3 balls to ensure Australia's dominance toward clinching this series (but the last wicket was a top order batman it is Jack Leach, seemed trying to play a night watchman role).

Australia need just another six wickets and still having ~60 run lead hence I guess they might need to chase only less than 100 runs to win this match by considering how quickly England batters are giving up their wickets.

In any case, what you have to do is not close your possibilities, do not let the doors close, for a professional there are no closed doors, a professional will always take advantage of their knowledge to get ahead.
Always trying to learn the latest update in our field will help and for the people who want to switch over to new verticals, it might be a complete challenging task because first they need to learn the basics and then need to be fully aware of latest development in the new domain. But, when we are sticking with same domain and then keep learning then the possibilities for our growth must be unlimited.

After bitcoin, I stopped thinking about switching over to new developments but showed all my interest on learning bitcoin trading. Now, I am able to trade bitcoin profitably in short term which is helping me stay competitive and based on my saving I might start a small bitcoin based business for my local people.

Some staking, like with many DeFi coins have extremely high daily interest rates..now these are often and mostly scams and unsustainable but it’s however the case.
Yeah, at this point staking became something so huge in the crypto world with the rise of decentralized economies that people are putting their money into plenty of staking operations in order to keep having passive income. Lets be honest passive income is something every single human dreams about, that is the path to riches according to many people because if your money earns you money while you sleep, that is something you should not forget ever in your life.

This is why I would have to say that the greatest thing we could do is keep making money while we sleep in any way possible. What do we have in crypto that is like that? Staking. Of course investing could make you money as well if the price goes up but staking makes you crypto no matter what the price is because you know have more crypto to begin with.
