Have you seen any significant drop in gas prices in your area? Will oil drop even further, despite the ongoing war?
This is great. Now people can ride on their vehicles again because many of them have been using bicycles for a while to go their work or go on some places but there are some that commutes for a while but the fair rates are also increasing. A few cents drop is still better I guess especially if you are buying more liters of oil. You can save a lot of money already as when compared to its previous price.

If inflation persists then I don't think the drop of the price can continue. You said that increase in oil price can also drive the price of the food higher, so this means that this decrease of oil price can also lead for the price of the goods to get lowered? That would be great if that's how it works.
2062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: August 04, 2022, 06:48:53 AM
Pig-4 teams do have an advantage in test format. Performance in the tests depends on a lot of things, including availability of a large player pool and strong domestic cricket structure. South Africa falls behind in these aspects, but they are boosted by the availability of a number of ex-Kolpak players such as Duanne Olivier and Simon Harmer. They are partially able to fill their gaps in the bowling department due to the availability of such players. But team bonding is an issue with South Africa. And we can expect that, when more than half of the squad is selected on the basis of skin color, rather than merit.
Right now, all cricket is in transformation and may this could be good or bad but surely now in near future things are going to be change and most chances we are going into negative way because ICC is in not good situation for having any better solution for this all and big 4 working on their own agenda which is surely not favorable for all members as they have their own sack.

Now as few countries are working hard on franchise cricket, yeah it's going to be good for them as they will be in good financial position rather than those have no strong domestic and franchise set up. From here ICC need to divide these test playing nations into two pools and top eight could be in same boat with other five or six need to play more cricket against each other for having better experience which will help them for long run.
2063  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: August 03, 2022, 08:36:49 PM
In my own estimation, Dortmund is not a good option, it would be like finishing off cr7's career, they have a lousy defense. For example Villareal scored 3 and Valencia 2 against them in their previous games. These defeats in itself is not a good sign. The question here is does Cristiano want a club that plays in the champions league? Or does he want a club capable of winning the champions league? Depending on the answer, it will be Cristiano's decision, although I doubt very much that Cr7 wants to go alone to play the champions, he wants win the champions and that will be possible with Chelsea or a Bayern Munich.
This rumours appears because of Fabrizio Romano Twitter that he claimed Ronaldo has agree to joining Dortmund for buy option but this news hasn't clarified yet by Dortmund or Ronaldo but after rejected for many big clubs i think possibly he will considering the offers from Dortmund especially currently Dortmund still lack of forward players and the most important is Dortmund playing at champion league so he can playing at that competition with Dortmund to achieved his personal ambition
Dortmund probably doesn't even have that kind of cash right now, but assuming that even if they do, would it really be smarter for Ronaldo to go to Dortmund just because they will be in UCL? I mean I get it, he cares about his records and he wants all the remainder of his career to be playing in UCL and not somewhere else, that is understandable.

But, just a year at Europa doesn't seem like it would be worth to leave United and go to Dortmund. Not that it would be a bad transfer for Dortmund, but United seems like a better team and Ronaldo doesn't want to be there just because of the competition they are in, but he is becoming the type of player even they may not want to begin with if he keeps this up.
2064  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Share your Football Betting Strategies to Beat the Bookies this Season on: August 03, 2022, 07:18:11 PM
The only strategy you need when gambling is being lucky. Gather all the luck totems you got. 4 leaf clover, horse shoe, rabbit foot, lucky gold coin… whatever you got. Every little bit helps. The more luck points you got, the better winning chances you’ll have.

Without luck, any other strategy is worthless. After you boost your luck stats, you may even try using martingale. It will probably work this time. :d
Being lucky is I think not a kind of strategy but it's a kind of trait. Plus, we are talking about sports betting here and not a casino game where luck is mostly needed over skill. In sports betting, you can implement a strategy and as you can see other users above have their own. If you didn't have one yet, maybe you can try to look at them and implement it in your game next time.

You can also do a modification depending on your taste. This is the one that I am doing actually. Anyway, was it items, the lucky totems you are saying? This reminds me of the thread we have here last time about feng sui. I think these kinds of reply applies best to that.
2065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is It For The Money Or For The Sport Or A Clear Exploitations on: August 03, 2022, 05:52:58 PM
This is just an exhibition match and not official matches so there’s nothing if they do this kind of shit because this is just for an entertainment purposes. It’s up to the viewers if they like it or not because they are the one who pays for the ticket. I’m not expecting much when watching this kind of fight which makes me not affected on the result. Watch official matches if you want to see real action and don’t expect good quality of fight on an exhibition match. This is just like a sparring for the professional to beat amateurs televised.
Yeah, he said he is okay for the Paul brothers but what is their difference from this one? I guess nothing. Maybe he didn't like the participants involved, that's why he didn't get entertained or maybe he was expecting something more intense in the fights because the bodies of the participants are so big like hulk but he only got disappointed on what he sees.

We don't know if OP is one of those who pays for the ticket, that is why he has the right to complain but still, they can't do much anything about it because it's already over. The only thing that they can do is to avoid these types of matches next time and only watch those real fights instead.
2066  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it profitable to hedge/cashout bets before end of sport event? on: August 02, 2022, 06:58:35 PM
Personally, I rarely use the cashout option, but still, this option is sometimes useful. Situations in some sports events can be very dynamic and it is good to be able to cashout when, for example, in the last match on the coupon your team is not doing well. Sometimes it benefits the player, sometimes the bookmaker.
because this feature can sometimes help bettors to reduce the risk of greater losses, so many bettors will look for bookmakers who have this feature, but to be honest you as a bettor must really follow the results of the match every minute otherwise the expected potential will not work as expected, but unfortunately as I know sometimes this featured not available on all matches.
I see that this feature is not always present. I am thinking that we should not waste the opportunity of using it once we saw it appears because it's always better to reduce the risk and win a little lesser than continue with an increased risk which you can end up as a loser at the end of the game. I think that it's more regretful if you go home empty.

Also, what you mean to say there is to follow every match that we bet on and not the results because results are only shown at the end of the game. The importance of it is that we will know if we should continue and won't use the cash out option or we should stop now or else lose because the game seems to be against with us.
2067  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Borrow fiat with your Bitcoin and never sell on: August 02, 2022, 12:55:45 PM
The risk is that if you don't pay the interest, your collateral will also disappear, in which case I would do it the way @Bitcoin_Arena mentioned. I will also sell some bitcoins to cover work expenses, and then I will find a way to buy back those sold bitcoins when I can afford it. The market is still there and the opportunity to own bitcoin has never gone away so there is no need to mortgage assets while we can sell them.
Not only the interest that needs to be paid but also the borrowed amount. I think it's also possible to pay for the interest first? I heard it last time, when our neighbour borrow a cash but I heard they pay the interest first. Maybe that can work better so that the next time you pay it will now look smaller and you are motivated to pay it on time.

The only way that your collateral could disappear is when you fail to pay the loan or also called as default. If you bought your bitcoins on a price which is lower than your selling price then its fine to sell it and get some profits but we can always sell whenever there is a good pump. That way we will never run out of cash and there is no need to borrow money anymore.
2068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: August 01, 2022, 08:34:16 PM
Here we need to know who are the managing committee in ICC? ? Where they come from? These answer will clarify where is the problem? Politics is everywhere in today's world, when these Politics are applied to any organization, it can no longer function as it should. Cricket would have reached a better place today if there was no favoritism by the senior officials of the ICC in cricket.
Cricket is as old as other popular games like football and rugby but the point is cricket even a century old game is limited to 8 test playing teams only? Who is responsible for this mess. If you dig deep then it's very much clear that icc and big 3 don't want more countries to join in.
Test cricket is never been easy format and two decades back this was completely bore because most of the matches were ended in a draw so no one was interested in this format and until now we have total 12 teams from these just 8 are in better shape and others are down or going out in near future even now things are completely change, and we have some very good change in this format as well thanks for T20 cricket.
 
But, this need some good skills and better resources which is not working right now for many countries even countries like West Indies, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka badly struggling, so we can't do any positive development in this format and no more countries can adopt this as well.

after a decrease in the price of bitcoin like this, this coin meme no longer has price movements, will it still reach the moon? or left on earth with other meme coins,
prediction after prediction for the meme coin is very much but in reality nothing lasts like doge coin
It's not that bitcoin is declining and bear has taken its place but the hype for the meme coins have simply gone down and I don't think they can be able to recover again so I feel sorry for those who invest on them and didn't sell once they have the chance.

The name of this meme coin is safe moon but it does not mean that it will go to the moon lol. I think its name is also the reason on why people hastily invest on it but this coin has safely landed to its graveyard, that is for sure. Predictions will still be there because those meme coin supporters are still hoping that they can be rich for their meme coin but sorry that's not gonna happen anymore.

With the money, they bought Bremer and can be even better than DeLigt, even today he did a big mistake.

They still have money for a big player, rumors are increasing about Sergei Milinkovi Savic.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic has been rumoured with Manchester United also these days. However if Juventus join the race to transfer him then Manchester United wouldn't stand much chance. The reason is that they aren't in the Champions League this season of course. He would be a wonderful choice for Juventus and he is really one of the rare midfielders that you can trust fully. It might be hard to convince Lazio to sell him but if their concern is money then Juventus would solve the problem easily.
Manchester United is desperately looking for some quality players as they already fail to have few which was their main target De Jong is already rejected to join, so now they are going for another option Sergei Milinkovic who is currently tagged by Lazio on price of €55m hopefully they will manage this and bought this player because if they fail then surely they can face another season in dilemma which can bring more disaster for them as right now we have the good number of teams as competitors for them.
 
After checking all things, Lazio management done good job, and they are no cutting price because they understand Manchester United is having in serious trouble, so they want to cash out this all from this situation.
2071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: August 01, 2022, 10:48:07 AM
Chelsea might be able to convince Barcelona to sign Frenkie de Jong but the deal would cost too much that's for sure. Frenkie de Jong doesn't have a special desire to leave the team at the moment so Chelsea will need to make an offer that can't be rejected by either the team or the player. About Bernardo Silva, Manchester City didn't even want to sell him to Barcelona a short time ago. They wouldn't even like to sell him to Chelsea now as they are in the same league and rival teams.
Regarding the case of Frenkie De Jong, he actually didn't want to leave Barcelona.
on the other hand Barcelona want Frenkie De Jong to lower his salary and indeed it is quite complicated,
if he stays I don't think Bernardo Silva will come
Barcelona is surely doing some poor things as they are not allowing De Jong for staying here and bringing some other players for the strength of their squad he is not interested to go anywhere then surely he also needs to talk with management and cut his salary is also good for him and his future if he wants to stay here in NOU Camp.

Manchester United and Bayern Munich both done good offers but sadly due to De Jong behavior these all rejected and now Chelsea is also in line for this transfer and Barcelona wants to bring Bernard Silva in place of De Jong, but deadlock is on and no one is going to create some soft way.

Which one hast the worst future?
How do you expect anyone to know this? Who saw Luna crash coming? Crypto investment is risky so invest only what you are ready to lose.
He knows that we don't have crystal balls to see what's coming ahead so he doesn't worry about our answers and he won't use this as a financial advice but he is simply interested to see what others think on those coins. About the luna crash, actually, there are people already who suspects that luna is bad investment for the long term because of its team which are already involved on a fail project.

Sometimes that is what you need, researching about the team to tell if the project that you are going to invest in is worthy or not. Anyway on the 5 coins in the poll I pick moonbeam or glmr, why? Well because this is the least that I know.
2073  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is crypto going up after the news of being in a recession? on: July 31, 2022, 09:58:29 PM
The crypto market definitely behaving in  mysterious ways lately. It seems like we turn from bullish to bearish and vice versa  on the daily.

I find it a bit odd that the market is pumping on the news of a recession.

Is Bitcoin and crypto proving it really is a hedge against the devaluing of the dollar, or is the fact it was only a 75bp hike until September that maybe caused the case for optimism?

Do you guys Believe in this pump or is it just temporary until another leg down?
I personally am not sure so I'm just slowly  DCAing  in to my favourite projects.
I understand all of those questions popped on your mind but this is the normal market for crypto that we have. Whether we have recession or none, we'll always get to see the crypto market pumping and dumping.

With good or bad news, the market will always react at both sides, positive and negative, decrease and increase. You should get used to it when you see it go from side to side.

There's really nothing to think about it that much when you see it fall and rise.
Crypto works in two cycles so once one of the side is done then it's now turn for the other side to shine and it will happen no matter what. It's true that news do have an impact on the price though not too often and not all times the effect are strong but sometimes the effect can also be small. Maybe this is what's happening lately. It's also possible that the effects are just delayed like last time where there a news about whales buying cryptos.

I wonder why the crypto price didn't move upwards but the effect starts kicking in later on. A lot of people wonder what is the cause of it but I didn't. I tell them that it was because of the news that we have last time.
2074  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This clearly damage the gambling. on: July 31, 2022, 09:14:13 PM
there is a lot of drama like this in sports despite the fact that in football there is VAR. however, not all local league tournaments (small) always involve VAR technology due to the high cost of the technology.

as you said, I also experience a lot of anger in football matches especially local football in my country. despite all that, what is served from the link will have no significant impact on soccer betting.
Dramas like this will always exist in the world of football, but I hope that in the future dramas like this will no longer be relevant to the efforts of prevention and strict sanctions from the federations in each country.
Var has nothing to do with this since anyone clearly sees what is happening in front of them but I think that var only helps if the referee are quite unsure of their decisions or there's an action which are done very quick that they didn't clearly noticed it.

Drama in sports are normal but usually those are real and not staged, like opposing teams having an argument with each other. Not only you but all of us have an anger but we can't help but come back in the game later on because we are already attached to it and we know that not all times are bad or not all matches are fixed so it's totally fine for us to see one or two fixed matches sometimes.

A friendly game is played right now between milan and marseille, milan are playing really good in the first half and they are leading 2 0, giroud and messias are on fire as   always giroud a goal scorer again, milan team is looking dominant it seems they will be one of the title contenders again this season.
As now, we are heading for start of new season many teams are busy for their preparation and playing friendly games against other clubs Juventus lost match against Real Madrid by 0 - 2, and now we have AC Milan against Marseille where they have done good job and won this match by 2 - 0 which is good start for them after having few off the field troubles.

Fiorentina also have a friendly match against Turk side Galatasaray where they lost this match by 1 - 2 now few minutes ago we have another match Napoli vs Mallorca after selling their best players right now they are struggling and have result of 1 - 1 which is also not good for them and their future in this league.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: July 30, 2022, 10:28:29 PM
Bayern Munich's odd for the Super Cup game was really high and it was like a big opportunity to try one's luck. They didn't make their bettors sad as well by defeating Leipzig by 5-3. Bayern Munich weren't much different than the usual even though Lewandowski was no longer playing for them. The Bundesliga is nearly starting as well so we will see how strong they will start there. I still expect them to bring a striker of course but they aren't rushing it as it seems.
Few peoples having doubt about Bayern Munich performance after departure of Robert Lewandowski but nothing going to happen them as they are still having some quality players those can do goals in good number because too many quality players and with having good skills for doing good start of season is going to be good for them as today they have done good job against Leipzig with the score of 5 - 3 which mean against we can mostly with over goals in their games as we have in presence of Lewandowski or goals machine. But, after start of season they feel they need some quality striker then they can go ahead in winder transfer window.
2077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: July 30, 2022, 09:55:34 PM
2018 did have some surprises. Like Germany being eliminated in the group stage by Japan or South Korea. That won't happen again. France then became world champions, with the toughest match in the semi-final against Belgium that they only just managed to win. I thought Belgium should have been world champion then, but in the end Croatia was also very good. Croatia has secretly been close a few times, but with Croatia you do not immediately think of a World Cup title. But that's because Modric is still there. England is one of the favorites, but they haven't won anything for a long time and don't function as a team, And also a very mediocre coach.
It's not all about 2018 if you can check soccer World Cup history it's full of these shocking results like South Korea won against Germany and Germany outclass Brazil at their home with score of 7 - 1 and many other results and game like these happen, and surely we will have few upsets here in Qatar as well because we have top ranked teams those are going to fight against each other for title race and all will do their best for having positive result from their games.

In this World Cup, we have few surprising favorites which are not fitting in public views but bookmakers still feeling good from them like England and Germany is also here as Dark Horse because their form is not good but still many feeling they can do good in this event.

The more the merrier. Well I can agree with it only if the coins that they are adding are those known coins with a good liquidity because if that was a new coin then what if there will be a problem that can come soon which can affect the coins price badly? It will be useless then to earn lots of them thru gambling and then you plan to hodl the coin for a long time.

You said that it's convenient to play on this site so by there I assume that they don't ask for a kyc anymore? As that will be a big hassle. Not only that but the players data's are also risk if the site turns out to be bad later on or if ever they got hacked and these kyc's are stolen.
2079  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Looking to start an online casino on: July 30, 2022, 09:23:29 AM
I guess you need something like business consultant for gambling to give you more specific advice and process in a legal way. Only if you want it to make a legal business.

Opening a gambling business surely will involve a large sum of money from development to deployment and marketing, even aftersales stage.

Now, if you want it to make a DIY way if you don't have enough funds for this and not considering a license, the I guess you should focus on the design, the smoothness of the system, the funds of it.
You should note too that most people in gambling industry preferred playing to licensed ones. Although others preferred not since unlicensed casino means no KYC involve.
OP seems sincere as a newbie in this business so I believe that he wants to make a fair and legal business only not illegal where he can turned in to a scam later on. That one that you suggest, having a consultant is no doubt helpful but here in crypto or in bitcoin, anyone can start their own casinos immediately even without it and I think that having it can only add on the expense and then it can take some time for it to be processed.

Lastly it can demand users to do a kyc, which contradicts to the real purpose of decentralization or anonymity or cryptos. We know that many gamblers are sick and tired of kyc but majority of them values their privacy.

I could never have imagined that there would be so much disappointment and failure among the West Indies.West Indies can perform very well in T20 series but they are not doing well lately.We saw them getting whitewashed in the ODIs against India as well.Again in the T20 fast match they lost by a huge margin.Yes we think their preparation for World Cup like this would not be acceptable at all.They have to come to the field with a tougher performance, otherwise they will not be able to survive the World Cup.
West Indian cricket is now on ventilator and most chances soon we will have this team only on papers or in history books because poor management and politics give them the worst time which is going on with their team is losing all format games badly without any serious resistance against teams like Bangladesh is surely disaster for them.

They completely fail to adopt things which are important for having strong structure and good academies which bring quality players after retiring most of the players are shifting to the USA or living outside this West Indies which is never been helping them for having better future of this game. In today game they were completely outclass by Indian youths, and they have no reply in batting and bowling for staying in good position.
