1941  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: December 05, 2021, 09:01:02 AM
Great week for Real Madrid while their previous rivals Atletico Madrid and Barcelona fall. Soon their lead at the top will be in double digits if they continue to grind wins like this.

Barca is out of the title contention already and I don't think Real Betis or Sevilla can keep their place in the top four.
After yesterday's win against Real Sociedad with lost of Barcelona against Betis at home and Atlético Madrid against Mallorca at home Real Madrid is clearly leading table with 5 points it's very good from them and with this win now they are strong contenders for winning this year's title because all other opponents struggling, but they have 100% record at home and away games recently. As they are going to add some more attacking players in coming January transfer window this could be great for their game plan as right now many teams struggling, but they have very good time in La Liga and Champions League title race.
 
In today game Benzema sudden exit creating some rumors, but hopefully all will be clear for play and team as now they are heading for their next challenge in Champions League.

If there was no draw result in test cricket, we would clearly obtained a result(India winning in this case). India literally wrapped up the match, but these stupid archaic rules impeded their win.

Test matches clearly need a Duckworth Lewis type of system in order to minimise draws. Draw result should only be applied in the test format in specific situations(Weather related issues etc).
After reading your old posts I was feeling you are good aware about cricket rules but after reading this one now I am feeling you have no knowledge about this, or you are really upset with this result draw because these are not new rules all applying for all teams with same level so if this match end in draw then nothing new happen because we have many matches like this ends in draw even one team was superior to win and having some good advantages.

Recently we have very few draws because now after introduction of short formats now mostly batsmen playing some quick cricket and having better results, so this all is useless that we need Duckworth Lewis or anything others related to this please chill and enjoy second test which is completely controlled by India, and they will win in just three days.
1943  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there any change that protect crypto from fractional reserve style stuff? on: December 04, 2021, 09:58:28 PM
The whole premise behind fractional reserve is that banks aren't handing out real money or real coins when they approve loans or credit for their customers. They are handing out numbers on a spreadsheet only. This could work in bitcoin just fine if people don't actually withdraw their coins from the platform in to their own wallet, but rather just trust the number the platform shows them is present in their account, as they do with centralized exchanges, web wallets, and so on.

Indeed, forcing the bank or centralized service to sacrifice some of the coins they are holding with every block mined, actively encourages them to hold as little as possible in their reserves, making fractional reserve worse rather than better.

This of course all ignores the fact that you would never get consensus on a proposal to start stealing coins from people's wallets and adding them back in to block rewards.
The difference is that if you end up with all of your fiat with you, then some people would have to car thousands of dollars, some would even have to face with millions of dollars stored somewhere, you can't put that in your wallet in cash. Whereas in crypto we are talking about digital numbers, download a non-custodial wallet on your phone and pay with QR code if you want to and you are done, it is as easy as that to carry crypto.

Yet, we are still seeing billions of dollars deposited into exchanges, what happens if those exchanges started to use your money to do something with it? What if there are 2 billion dollars deposited but 1.5 billion dollars left because exchange lost half a million dollars trying to do something? As long as people do not withdraw all together, they will slowly make that back as profit and will eventually equal the deposited number again.

On the contrary, I like all these exotic bets on a rocket to Mars and about vaccinations.   Smiley
Now it looks like the OP has read our discussions with you and now he appeared here and for users BTT offers new bets.  
Of course, I would like to have more activity from the Futuur devs for the Christmas holidays, but it's good that the project continues to work..!!!
I would have to say many people agree with you and me, they all love these type of bets and that is why there is a good amount of people who end up with gambling here on wacky weird bets. We can find regular bets on sports everywhere, that is common and we all know it, but these type of bets can't be found anywhere else.

Looking at how they are back again, I am sure they are going to increase the "wackiness" of the website once again and I am sure they are going to put up even crazier things in there as well as putting some BTT related stuff as well. That way we would be able to actually go out and wager in those games and meanwhile keep it related to bitcointalk yet again.
1945  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ross Ulbricht is releasing an NFT collection for a charity on: December 04, 2021, 09:22:12 PM
Various Bitcoiners on Twitter have shown mixed reactions — some showing obvious disappointment, while some showed support. Curious on what Bitcointalk thinks.
Well, it isn’t bad at all, since it is meant for charity. Even though that he has been convicted for some reasons which he did committed that led to his incarceration, I believe that at some point people do have a change of heart when they are in a situation like this.So it is quite possible that he might have had a change of heart and decided to do something good for once in his life. An NFT for a good course?

Well, I do support it as long as it’s really being used for the purpose as stated. But a lot of people might not want to be in support of it, because of the reasons I stated above, which is okay, you are free to do as your mind leads you.
1946  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Another attempt at Bitcoin ETF..You knew it was coming once BTC raised above ATH on: December 04, 2021, 08:51:52 PM
it is interesting that US keeps rejecting ETFs while the rest of the world is already celebrating the anniversary of their ETFs.
If the SEC keeps on refusing to approve such products by issuers on the grounds that it is uncomfortable due to the risk in an unregulated product like the news have said, then it’s going to be quite a problem, because no product is going to be approved. Because most, if not all, of the products are the same thing when it comes how the prices will be (they will keep on fluctuating up and down at all times or simply volatile).

So, this is going to be a really difficult thing to pull out. Maybe they should approve it and just task the projects with clearly explaining cryptocurrency investment to potential investors, so people have knowledge of what they are about to go into.
1947  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- Group Stage! on: December 04, 2021, 08:05:03 PM
almost every season the teams in the English league dominate a lot to qualify for the next round, and the evidence that for the last 3 years 2 of them UCL titles have always come from England (Liverpool 2018, Chelsea 2020).
on the other hand now it looks like they just need to relax because all england teams have already qualified and it's just a matter of keeping the position for MU and Chelsea in the last game so it would be great to see the teams from great britain top of the group stage
Few years back there was some good quality, and we have good teams doing in Champions League with talented players from different players, but recently we have some good investments just for cups and their own sack which is hurting very badly as we have few teams with Billions of USD in their wallet and these teams buying quality players for trophies and name no quality check.

English Premier League is taking good advantage of this because it's most viewed league and have the best investment opportunity for many investors, so their quality is also had good rise because of this money in other countries we have very few teams, so this is giving good competition in this league and many teams have chance of winning trophy like Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United. In France, we have only PSG and in Germany we have only Bayern with the same happening in Italy and Spain.
1948  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: December 04, 2021, 07:21:02 PM
I would never underestimate an Italian team only because they didn't perform that well during the qualifiers. It reminds of a phase when Germany also didn't do that well during the qualifiers but then rocked the tournament. I guess in that regard Italy is similar. It is a team that can just switch gears as soon as there is clearly something on the line. Sure that was the case right now but a tournament is a different beast, and definitely a beast that Italy has proven they can handle.
This can happen because few teams in Europe have very good domestic set up which give them good advantage with many quality players, so Italy already lost last world cup, but now it's time from them to have some good in this, and surely they are going to have very tough competition against Portugal because they are also having some good players but still it is favoring Italy.

Many peoples believe it's going to be good for Portugal because of home advantage but still Italy is not easy team for them with some good players few already missing due to injuries but hopefully as this all happening after 3 months they will be better and have their full options available.
1949  Economy / Economics / Re: Are we in a bear trap? on: December 03, 2021, 09:58:34 PM
if you can't do anything since you don't have enough capital to trade another round again then your option is to hold if you can't afford to lose, But if you take another risk and take the stop lose then maybe from that you can buy again at the dip then there's a huge possibilities from that you can recover your funds and earn more once the bull hit again. But also before taking risk we better do a research first because having courage to invest without proper planning can cost us a lot of money if we didn't expect the huge drop came.
I would assume that if you are taking that risk, you are also considering the fact that the moment you sell your crypto, it could end up being a lot higher as well. So, you might sell right at the moment it starts to go up. This is not something that people really want or can risk. This is why most people who make a loss end up trying to hold it until they could recover it. I love long term investment because of this, if you are in a loss then in long term you could get out of it, if you are in a profit, with time you could profit even more.

In crypto world if you are not investing into some shitcoin, it is very rare that people would lose money. Almost all the time, anyone who invested into something fundamentally strong, that usually means they will be in profit more and more every year, having money in crypto for over 10 years would mean getting very rich.
1950  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🔮 Futuur - Predict the Future! 🔮 on: December 03, 2021, 09:39:05 PM
the topic has really been here at BTT for over a year.  What confused me was that there was talk of all these rockets to Mars and vaccinations that Biden came up with around February.   Smiley
But in general, you must agree that the project interested BTT users.  Indeed, the OP has gone somewhere, and the topic is alive all the time.
I mean what's not to like? They are basically doing things that would be amazing to bet on and not usual "which soccer team will win" bets. They have political stuff, they have everyday stuff, they have economics related stuff, they have elon musk to mars type of stuff, they even have bitcointalk stuff in there which is more than enough to say about how much they care about here.

I get that they may not be around anymore, and maybe they are doing it very rarely but at the end of the day they are still doing something that is unique in their own way and that matters a lot. Which is why I believe that people are still interested in this place, since they can't find %90+ of the bets here in any other casino.
1951  Economy / Economics / Re: Banks will die crypto will take over in 5-10 years on: December 03, 2021, 08:28:06 PM
Banks offer a more secure service though not risk free, maybe that's true if we compare it to cryptocurrencies. In addition, banks are still needed by 99% more world's population to carry out daily financial transaction so it is impossible to expect crypto to replace the existence of bank. Although in future every country can have its own cryptocurrency but I think people still need bank especially those who don't agree with crypto.
They do not really "need" it, everything you could do in a bank could be done with crypto as well. Banks needs to go back to what they were all about, savings accounts and lending out money from their savings account holdings, and not multiple amounts neither, whatever they have, they should lend but that's it.

If you keep on thinking banks are the way we exchange money then you have not been watching too much of what's going on with crypto, we can exchange money from one side of the world to another for a few cents in a few seconds. Sure bitcoin is not like that right now, but there are other coins like SOL or TRX that you could use to move millions of dollars to another nation. So, 99% of the world doesn't "need" it, they just don't know what else they could do and crypto is not accepted in many places just yet so they still "prefer" fiat.
1952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 02, 2021, 09:35:21 PM
PSG just brought for the sake and rather for the need, eg look at Italy’s number one goal keeper he can walk in any team but at PSG he’s warming the bench, which shows they have no plan how to use star player’s. Furthermore Poch will indeed be out of a job if he fails to win them the champions league, but since they’re yet in it we can’t rule them out because in champions league anything is possible.
After watching spending from owners and having results like this, really feeling it's not football it's just a money power which is killing beauty of soccer because you have one of the deadliest attack and defence but still you are unable to having some better performance some quality players on bench and have nothing to do it's never been good for any play UEFA need to have some better action against spending like this which is never been good and ideal for them.

70% ball possession and more than 22 shots on goal, and you have no score in front of your name is matter of shame for team like PSG but still peoples feeling it's strategy or any other issue not they completely fail to have good squad for better results instead of bringing players for money.
1953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: December 02, 2021, 08:04:07 PM
Well, the current situation is that Sri Lanka has scored a massive 328 runs for 8 wickets. And Embuldeniya has actually impressed me with how he stayed in the crease for 110 balls. De Silva played really well for his 153 runs. He basically held the SriLankan batting together.
Sri lanka are now in a strong position thanks to De Silva wonderful knock of 153 n.o, it was De Silva innings that has helped SL recover after losing 4 early wickets. Right now they are 279 runs ahead, they should try to give target of 325 to WI. Embuldeniya is blocking the balls well so its possible to De silve to take target to over 325.
Sri Lanka already won first match and now having very good position in second mean now they are winner of these 2 test series without any doubt and West Indies is going down day by day which is really matter of concern for them because having very poor resent test series is bringing them down very badly in this format now they are going to drop at 8th place after this lost and their current rank in all formats are 8th or 9th which is really poor because there is no positive news about them for having any good news and fans are also losing their patience with their poor run which can bring some more bad effects in this area as recently already Basketball and Baseball having some better response.

If it was simply just because "they are having hard time paying" then they would simply close the signature campaign down and pay whoever is left and be done with it. But this is more about Lightlord himself not being online frequently enough, and that is a very different situation.

I am not saying that they have the money for it or not, I couldn't possibly know how much money this place makes, obviously not a lot but it is still a casino that should be able to allow you to withdraw without a problem and pay the campaign participants who they agreed to pay. Hence why people are mad, because they know Lightlord is true to his word but he is also very slow to do that as well. Dude paid after 10 weeks, so he is definitely legit, but he paid after 10 weeks, that is still quite a big problem.
With these all useless discussion we can't bring something positive or negative because we have no updates or information about lightlord or his projects and financial condition, but one thing is sure he is one of early adaptors and having luxury of some very big bank rolls in his casino investments which never have any issue, or he never involves in any scam or cheat mean he is legit person but sadly in his very long stay here he never had any good back up which help him in his absence and settle down things which need some quick intention from them.

He needs to have some good team with very reputable peoples with order to settle all things on time this is real concern here currently his health is issue which not allowing him to do anything and no one from his side is coming for any comments about this all condition which creating some feud about his projects.
1955  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Europa League Discussion Thread on: December 01, 2021, 08:16:53 AM
In group C, almost all of them has the same points because Leicester is in the first position and has eight points, Spartak Moscow is in the second position land has 7 points, Napoli is in the third position who also has seven points and finally, Legia is on the 4th position who has 6 points. So there is really great competition going on in this group.
Currently, most interesting group in all Europa League with very entertaining round is coming no easy for anyone to predict about result or who is going in next round because Legia is going to play at home and Spartak Moscow is good in away games and Napoli is also playing at home, but Leicester is also having good chance in this crucial game.

But after having passed games results and some analysis we can say Leicester and Spartak Moscow both have some better chance instead of Napoli and Legia for qualifying into next round because Legia suddenly gone down with very bad results and Napoli is still having some better interest in local league instead of this Europa League.
1956  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 01, 2021, 06:19:48 AM
I don't know if ICC is willing to take that initial loss of 5 years. But in my opinion, it is not going to be that long and the sport is going to be much more popular before that if necessary steps are taken and bringing in more international team are not neglected. But the thing is if you have to do something you have to sacrifice something. But the question is are they willing to do that?
It's not all about ICC because they can't force any board for doing things like this it's need some fair and love for game big three can start few things which bring good funds, and then they provide funds for small boards to start leagues or small tournaments for women cricket which could be more helpful for all parties but sadly right now we have greediness of money which is preventing things to do for game mostly things happening for personal profit.

If ICC have power then surely they can use this like UEFA and then this game has some better future and more adoption in many countries, but it's never going to happen it's just dream which is ruined by very few people's personal ego. Currently, just England and Australia can afford this luxury, so they will take good advantage in future as well.
1957  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Tron could be next doge or ada? on: November 30, 2021, 04:17:01 PM
Tron is exceptionally old coin, still has a place to beat coin in crypto field. It is intensely utilized to diminish exchange expense conjointly for quick transactions.
It has many comparative qualities that doge or ada has. Indeed i think it has everything to Attain victory like others do but it still moo by its cost.
Tron is a good coin and it has a really strong community, we can see that from how the price has moved over the years. If you check on Twitter the community is always pulling a heavy weight over there and trending the coin. And personally I do think that for every project, what matters the most is having a really strong community that’s backing it and also a good team (which they also have).

I wouldn’t say that Tron is going to beat Cardano to a higher position, but I am very sure that Tron is a really good project and it is here to stay. It doesn’t seem to me like one of those projects that would be rolled out today and tomorrow they will be nowhere to find. And for sure it would be worth an investment.
1958  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can you make money day trading Bitcoin? on: November 29, 2021, 06:10:08 PM
We can make money in trading but that also depends on us and we always remember that is not because the others are making a huge profit in trading it will also happen to us. No, we could just think that they work it hard before it achieves and if we do, that gonna be possible.
It is kind of basic human psychology that copying others success will be an easiest method to enjoy quick success in any career. But, unfortunately trading is not that kind of career because here success or being profitable will be only possible when we are developing good skills in technical analysis. This is the reason crypto trading is not recommended for everyone, precisely day trading of crypto markets.

At the same time, only active trading is not recommended in crypto market but long term based swing trading might be possible for anyone because it does not require high end training skills.
1959  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 29, 2021, 06:41:31 AM
Great win from Napoli!  They beat Lazio 4-0.  Goals came from Mertens (2), Zielinski and Ruiz.  Thus, they won the week Milan lost and took the lead by 3 points.  Congratulations Naples!  You're doing great work in a great season.
Napoli crippled Lazio it was too intimidating and at some point it was embarrassing. Lazio tried getting back into the game but all effort proved void. Napoli is making strong wave to maintain their top position. Milan wasn't just lucky while sassuolo took advantage of every counter attack and ensured the goal went into the net. It was a bad day for Milan and a good one for sassuolo.
After having some bad time now they are back in business with very good result against team like Lazio, they announce now they are alone at top rank, and they will do their best for having this spot for more time as AC Milan is having some poor results and losing points giving some good benefit to Inter but on other side Napoli is still had better control in Serie A title race.

Now Inter is also enter this race with 4 points gape, but now next game is very crucial for Napoli which is against Sassuolo which already dent a very big defeat to AC Milan hopefully now they will do some better otherwise it is going to be some more hard time for them and better for Inter and AC Milan.

It's true that Barcelona's way of playing has changed, now Barcelona is playing more confidently, and most importantly, teamwork is getting more solid.
I am optimistic that Xavi can bring back the glory of Barcelona, so I hope that in the next game Barcelona can win again. Moreover, Barcelona's next
opponent is Betis who are in a higher position, this means that this is a good opportunity for Barcelona to move up to a higher position. But Betis are
in 5th place now not by chance, this proves Betis a strong team, need a good strategy to beat Betis. But Barcelona have better quality players,
Xavi should have taken advantage of that and made Barcelona beat Betis.
Xavi knows Camp nou too well and is already conversant with they tactics that best suits Barcelona that is why it didn't take him much to adapt as the new coach. For their next game against Betis Barcelona has what it takes to win the game all it would cost them is a good game plan. It gives me joy that Barcelona is gradually bouncing back
After having two good results things are changing in Camp Nou because fans realizing that Xavi can do some better for this club, and they will fight back in next few weeks which is big change win against Villareal is very good with some good number of goals also coming now they have next challenge against Betis which is having good form in recent time, but now new-look Barcelona is not easy to play but sadly their Champions League next stage spot is in very serious trouble because most chances Bayern is going to be very hard for them in away game and Benfica is having some better chances even they have some better result against giants Bayern.
