221  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: March 10, 2023, 08:49:41 PM
There are more than 10 match remaining before enter the end of the season, Galatasaray's point difference with Fenerbahce is still quite thin, namely 6 points, the possibility of Galatasaray eliminate from position 1 is still very likely. Moreover, Fenerbahce's failure last season is the motivation for them not to repeat mistakes like last season
The two teams are still involved in fierce competition, it is difficult to decide which is the best between the two teams
At the moment the gap seems to be 6 points, but Fenerbahce has the power to close it if they want to, but Jorge Jesus' decisions and the starting 11s leave a question mark in my mind, even for me. It should be noted that the defeat against Seville yesterday was entirely due to Jorge Jesus.Most of Fenerbahce's matches will be away and this is a big obstacle for Fenerbahce to close the gap, so they need to win consistently without dropping points in any of their matches. they will also have to wait for Galatasaray to drop points.
Fenerbahce losing to Sevilla showed one more thing; Jesus is not as good as people thought he was. Dude insisted on using Irfan a lot and that dude is not good at all, even I can see it from where I am sitting, I am sure Turkish people here would be a lot better to analyze that player, but that dude was as bad as it gets and Jesus insisted on keeping him all game long, I have no idea why at all.

I would say that he is going to be the cause for them to lose in the long run and that is how Galatasaray will end up winning the title. I know that it's not a simple task, winning a title on your first year is hard, but these type of line-up mistakes shows that it's more about Jesus than the players or the ownership.

Chelsea has been even preparing so much money for him. Chelsea has been confirmed to sell lots of players in upcoming transfer season and i think that signing osimhen from napoli won't not a difficult task since osimhen sees EPL as his dream but the problem is will napoli let him go after the end of season?
As far as i know that if napoli's president is still defending him to stay even longer in napoli.
Chelsea is not doing that great though, that would be the only thing that could keep him. Imagine on one side you have United, doing pretty well with Rashford who started his career as a left wing if I am not wrong, and he could still go back to left wing if asked, and they are third in the league, won EFL and even doing pretty well on Europa at the same time, everything is looking great for them.

On the other side is Chelsea, barely in the league, and they got lucky with UCL but they are definitely losing this one for sure without a doubt. So all in all if I was osimhen, I would go to team that is already doing good and have a spot ready for him as soon as his plane lands.

^^I lost obviously, but I am not regretting any decisions that I made, it was a good bet and it had great odds and I lost fair and square, there is as much losing in betting as winning, if not more and this was just one of them.

Arsenal was the one that hit the hardest because I did not just put that in my parlay ticket but I had a single out bet for that one too in case I lose the parlay one to balance it out, and instead I lost both of them and that made it even worse, wish I did not wagered on that game alone, at least I would have lost just one bet, that is a regret but the parlay was not a regret because it was a magnificent one that I knew had a small chance.
224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Can we see a huge rise in the price of Dogecoin ? on: March 10, 2023, 02:06:33 PM
Elon Musk is a big supporter of Dogecoin and has promoted it multiple times. Now he also owns Twitter where he has many times pushed different crypto projects and caused big fluctuations in the price of different crypto coins.

So is it possible that he will use the ownership title of Twitter to push the prices of Dogecoin also ? I have observed some increase in prices already but will it continue for long run ? Do you think one should bet on this event and spend good amount of money on dogecoin for reaping the benefits later ? Or we should not rely on a man like Elon Musk who has made contradictory statements about bitcoin is past? Which side are you ?
I think Elon gave up on doge long time ago and all the people who are investing into doge just because there is an off chance that Elon could tweet about it are making a big mistake. Why would you want to invest into something that would only make sense if someone tweets about it.

Go ahead and sell all of your doge and end up buying bitcoin, that would be a lot better and it could give you the profit you are looking for. I am not saying that it would be the only thing that could make you profit, obviously we are going to see some other coins and tokens that could make you some profit as well, but I believe that we shouldn't really pick doge as one of those.

Union berlin definitely plays a very weak team for them, Juventus too, Leverkusen too, Arsenal plays Lisbon which is not a "bad" team but Arsenal is just way too good for them, United can easily beat Betis, these are all sure thing in my mind.

I am going to do a parlay and I am pretty sure that I am going to lose them for sure, there isn't a situation where I get all of them right at the same time but I feel like that was the right thing to do, because that would in return give me something decent, definitely a great return for me. I know that it is not going to be easy and it will probably fail but the return would be big enough to make it worth it.
226  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How will you feel when your government make BTC legal? on: March 09, 2023, 07:28:32 PM
My way to class this morning with some of my lovely course mate, someone raise this question that if our government decide to adopt BTC or make BTC legal how will i feel? I told him that the day our government will announce that BTC is now fully legalized in the country, I will throw a big party to host all the bitcoiners in my environment to join me to celebrate. If your government decide to adopt BTC or make BTC legal in your country, how will you feel?  Will you be among the people that will be angry because i know there are some people in our various places that think BTC is a scam digital currency which is not true, will you go to make them to understand it better in a positive way?
It's really not a question of making it legal or not, but the regulations. Most countries in the world made it legal, there are only a few places that banned it, and I do not think that this discussion would benefit. However, if we are talking about the regulation differences between nations then we could actually arrive to a point.

For example, it is legal to buy and sell bitcoin in El Salvador and in UK at the same time, they both made it legal to buy and sell, basically trade. However, do you really think that it is actually the same thing? I feel like we are talking about something much bigger right now which is the fact that regulation differences make it go up or down.
227  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: March 09, 2023, 07:06:49 PM
FIFA cannot deny any host country the automatic qualification rights regardless of their number because they are sacrificing many things as hosts. But World Cup host rights should be restricted to just one nation. Many nations co-hosting the competition reduces the chances of others getting slots. Only countries that can comfortably host the tournament should be given the opportunity to grab the hosting right. Countries that wish to co-host shouldn't be more than two to enable others compete for qualification. The financial and infrastructural development of every nation bidding for the slot should be considered to avoid this co-hosting issues.
I feel like that could be a good idea if we are talking about a nation with both football culture and also a lot of money, but if they do not have them both then they need to share it. If you bring Canada and USA and Mexico all together, that would still not be one Wembley stadium filled with Englishmen, that's why it is not possible for just picking one nation in that case.

However, they want to have both a bit of change time to time, and also want to have some sort of football culture as well right? Well, aside from Qatar obviously, that was just marketing and nothing more. I believe that we shouldn't be really worried about this three nations acting as one.
228  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 08, 2023, 07:21:48 PM
Of course, I think the same as you, and as I have said before, Messi should consider going to Saudi football, in particular I would like to see CR7 and Messi facing each other in that league, I am sure that worldwide all the attention would go to that side of the world, because with Messi there, wow, it's another level. There are very good players, there is Mappé, Haaland, among others, but they still do not have that shine that CR7 and Messi have given us over the years, that is something that I still see from afar, that is why these players, no matter how old they look For me they will continue to be the best.
This news surprised me today about Messi: https://www.goal.com/en/news/lionel-messi-barcelona-return-back-on-joan-laporta-confirms-meeting-with-psg-star-father/blt562136eff1991425
Since Messi is not interested to stay in PSG and his destination is still unknown most people thought he will join a team to just receive a goal salary there but now according to some news If Barcelona sends him a good offer to get Messi back to Barcelona he won't say no to his previous team.
I would guess that it shouldn't be a shock for Messi to go back to his old club, he wasn't really happy leaving neither anyway, so it should be fine for him to get back. However, lets realize the fact that Barcelona can't offer him some insane amount of money, he would be getting a huge huge pay cut if he gets there, and I think that would be a bit of a tough situation.

I am not saying he may leave for Saudi Arabia for higher pay but at the very least he should be getting what he deserves, not less. That is why him staying at PSG could be a better deal for him, he never really accepted Barcelona offers years beforehand when he was there too, so I think he may actually stay at PSG on the last minute as well, like Mbappe did.
229  Economy / Economics / Re: Money and education on: March 07, 2023, 08:30:45 PM
Because the mindset of most people is wrong that once you finish your education you will achieve your dreams. This type of belief is not true, although it is also important that you complete your education up to college.

     Because not all Engineering courses will be accepted by a company upon graduation. and the same in other courses. Because that's how the reality is happening today, and that's why the answer for graduates is to work in another country to have an employer who will pay them a dollar higher than the value of their currency in the country of birth. That's why other degree holders even medical holders accepted to be caregivers in other countries and swallowed the pride in exchange for the dollar money to be paid, others are nurses, but the job is domestic helper, that's what money does to most degrees holders.

There are many bachelor's degree holders whose wages are not degree holders, their intelligence is being exploited by a rich businessman who didn't even graduate from college.
I would guess that the tv series "tusla king" made a good point about this, it's all about you proving to your potential employer that you have went to a place for 4 years, did a series of tasks reasonably well, and there is a good chance you will do that for the boss too.

I think education is important to provide proof that you are a hard working person, if you went to a great school, that means you earned the right to go to that great school and your boss may think that if you are deserving of that great school, then you worked hard for that, and you may work hard for them too, or if you finished that school with straight A's, then you could end up working the same way as an employee too.
230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 07, 2023, 04:16:30 PM
It must be really frustrating for PSG to hear about the seriousness of Neymar's injury. He has always been an injury-prone player and this didn't change in this season as well. Fortunately Mbappe and Messi are still making a great duo together. As long as they have both of them on the pitch from the beginning of the game PSG should still be strong against Bayern Munich.
There are a bunch of complaints from PSG supporters about neymar. it seems like that would better if neymar will not play during the match against bayern. The combination between messi and mbappe is far better than when he was in the trio. The problem is messi will be going to the allianz arena. This stadion knew as a very bad stadion for messi as he rarely got good results played at allianz arena.
Neymar not being there doesn't really change much for them, sure he is a great player but they still have Messi and Mbappe, two players that can create a goal out of nothing and they are both healthy. Last time they didn't had Mbappe for example, who joined after 60th minute or something, this time around they will have him from the start.

Basically they haven't won any UCL just yet, with this team, but I think if they really work hard then they should be able to win this one. Overall it is not going to be easy to win, but it is also not impossible to do so, they just need some sort of talent shown by these players and create a goal out of nothing sometimes, when needed.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Shiba Inu still worth it? on: March 07, 2023, 02:51:03 AM
I have 20 million but haven't bought any for over 6 months as I only bought at the time as I was fairly new to crypto and it was low compared to its all time high but I now understand market cap etc.

With its current market cap at $6.3b, how high can this realistically go? Is $100b possible? That would give it a 16x from current price if so which would be good.

With the release of Shibarium due this year I do think this will see the price rise but how much im not so sure?
I can see why people are so hyped about meme coins nowadays a bit more. It's basically going against the "norm", turns out that is something people like to do. If many people say that it's stupid to invest into something so silly when there are other good things, then you want to invest into it even more, or at least some people told me to.

It's exactly like how warren buffet prefers stocks over bitcoin, so we prefer bitcoin over shiba, and just like how we pick bitcoin over stocks even when warren buffet says don't do it, these people invest into shiba even when we say don't do it. That type of mindset is real, not reasonable but at least it's very real.
232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Do you accept ? on: March 06, 2023, 05:26:02 PM
Accepted as legal tender where?

It's already legal tender in El Salvador and in the Central African Republic.

I reckon the US will probably be one of the last places where it would be legal tender, as the US is the strongest fiat at the moment.

But let's remember that before the USD there was the British Pound, and the Spanish Real. Things change, and they change faster and faster. I can see that there won't be any next new fiat, but instead there would be a Bitcoin standard to replace USD dominance.

Of course the USA won't want that to happen so it won't make it a legal tender there.
Not the same period though. Sure those were times when things were a bit different and they dominated that period, but that was because they took their money everywhere they went and that caused it to be bigger than everything else.

Right now we are in a global world, you might live on the opposite side of the world to me and we are talking here, internet made it like we are one big nation instead of so many different nations, we can chat and work and pay all at the same time in a minute. This means if USD is the biggest right now, during this period, then it's harder to drop that down. Bitcoin has a chance, just not a lot of chance to do so.
233  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: March 06, 2023, 04:44:06 PM
i think the guy should have retired in real madrid, having left for juventus even helped juventus a lot in crucial moments of the games, but due to his age his skills of dribbling started to disappear
Ronaldo left Real Madrid because of his high ego and his disagreement with Florentino Perez about a new contract for him and salary too. If he have not left Real Madrid, he would have gotten a few more seasons at top level and even can win one or two more Ballon d'Or. I felt Ronaldo satisfied with what Juventus fans shown when he scored a over-head goal against Juventus in Champions League. He did played well in Juventus too but after Ronaldo joined, it seems Juventus squad reached to their best and started to fall down in performance. It is their squad issue, not only because of Ronaldo.
Real Madrid has a one year contract offer to everyone who gets too old, just to make sure that they do not get screwed from the talent level dropping significantly, and they would only be holding a bad contract for one year max, and Ronaldo didn't accepted that. He wanted a contract that was a longer one, multiple years and Perez said that was just not possible and that is why he was sold.

Nowadays Ronaldo could get paid more with multiple seasons just like he asked, but as we can see no other team in any good UCL level ever wants to get him. That alone shows how bad he got, if he was still good, some good team would have offered him a job.
234  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would You Build your Own Casino(online/offline) If You Know You Can? on: March 05, 2023, 08:14:33 PM
So this evening, I was thinking within myself, Businesses I could start if I made good money, I mean money large enough that I could start any business comfortably(no matter the cost) without going through any financial crises before, during or after starting the business.

So one of the ideas of businesses to start that came to my mind was a gambling casino, online casino preferably for me, so as part of my research, I thought I should put this question out here to you guys …

If you made a billion dollars or even more, as someone who love gambling/betting and have been doing this on several other casinos for many years now, would you rather start your own casino?
Or would you prefer to keep gambling, doing your sports betting on other casinos even when you know you have more than enough money to start your own casinos and make the casino as big as you want it to be??
Technically speaking, we all can. It is really not that difficult, it is financially pretty impossible to build and that is literally the reason for 99% of the people in the world not starting any type of business. If you give people the capital required to build any business, it could be casino, it could be anything else, then 99% of them would say yes.

This brings us back to the question, if somehow magically I get money, then I would start one for sure, why not, if someone gives me money to build a casino then I would do it. However, if I were given the same amount of money and asked "do whatever you want with it" then I would probably just buy bitcoin and hold instead.
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Do you still hunt for airdrops? on: March 05, 2023, 06:46:09 PM
We cannot compare Airdrops from the past and how it is now so best to remind yourself if this is still worth it or not? because the way airdrops being advertise now it is given that they are only luring stupid people to let them becomg popular and earn while airdroppers will be losers.
I forget about this since years ago because of constant scam accusations  i have been reading , lucky that i never become one since day one.
It's not. The airdrops of the bull period were at least worth something and it was good, these days we have things that do not even worth anything at all and they are just futile working attempts and nothing more.

I highly suggest that if you are in the crypto world and want to be interested in making small amount of money, then chase faucets or something, don't know if there are still any, but it would be smarter. Hell go for community moderator jobs, there are websites with crypto jobs, and you could make a bit of money that way, otherwise it makes no sense to actually make a big attempt and work hard for any airdrop at all, they are all worthless.
236  Economy / Economics / Re: Is Bitcoin Disrupting our Financial Landscape? on: March 05, 2023, 06:12:50 PM
As we all know that Bitcoin is firstly introduced to us for it's convenience and numerous benefits. Being banked or underbanked, we can still enjoy the benefits and the accessibility of transactions as long as we have access to internet. Another benefit also is the anonimity it gives to people(although some would probably say not totally). By this, it is only right to say that Bitcoin has the potential to completely transform the way we think about money and finance. Compared to what we traditionally knew about finance, cryptocurrencies and bitcoin allows an individual to participate on the global economy without much requirement that otherwise it would be impossible.
I think it is not really about age, or not even about disrupting at all, it is about do we need it? I mean if bitcoin is capable of disrupting the current financial landscape and there are millions, even tens of millions of people in the crypto world, does that say anything about fiat world? I think that should be what we should be focusing at the moment.

If the fiat world is bad enough that people are moving towards bitcoin then maybe the problem is not with bitcoin but the problem is with the financial landscape itself? We should try to fix that before we try to attack bitcoin to be fair, that should be a lot more valid and a lot more important to all of us.
237  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price guess for March on: March 04, 2023, 09:08:22 PM
I think it wouldn't be really as much as people make it out to be. First of all we are going to see most of them want to get back in, because why not make a good return of your investment with something that both gives you a staking reward but also goes up itself?

I mean the savings account in a bank gives you a return too, maybe even more in some cases, but doesn't go up itself at the same time, in this case ETH goes up AND gives you more ETH at the same time, it is an investment that is amazing, so many will want to go back in. Secondly, even if there were, we are talking about hundreds of millions of dollars worth of bitcoin mined every single day, and it can still go up, so should ETH as well.
I agree with you, I do not think that this would really be big enough to actually change the price. It will be fine, and there will of course be some people who will sell, and that's not a good thing for the market obviously and it would hamper the increase in price. I am not against any of that, but that alone itself is not big enough to actually crash the market, not even by a mile.

I think the best thing to do right now would be to make sure that it is going to end up with a good return eventually and that should be more than enough, give people their money back and let them sell if they want to and we will be fine afterwards when the day comes.
238  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Your bitter-sweet experience in trading that you can't get over. on: March 04, 2023, 08:21:16 PM
This is a pretty common mistake in trading because we are controlled by our greed. I think all of us experience this and that we want to earn more. That is why others are just going to hit and run or just set a daily goal and if they achieve it then they will not trade again on that day because, I don't know what the explanation behind this , but the market will kind of take those profits from you if you are still trading even if you already hit your goals.
That is called a strategy, people with strategy will focus on just that and they will buy and hold and sell when the time comes and that is how they make their profit, they are smart people and I try to be like them as much as I possibly can.

However, there comes a time when things change a lot and we end up with something much worse, which I believe could be a bit of an issue in the long run, the "fools eye", I don't know what it's called in English but a person who is mesmerized by the beauty of something and can't move or talk, you see it growing higher, and you are seeing how much profit you are making, and you get stuck and can't do anything, those people make the biggest loss.
239  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What If There Is A Ban on: March 04, 2023, 06:33:25 PM
Survival without bitcoin is possible, what about all the investment we've made over bitcoin through the years. Always there'll be a solution and we don't experience such scenario with bitcoin. Complete ban on bitcoin isn't possible and if such thing is possible long back itself countries would've tried it.

With time the market is getting regulated and the acceptance level is high. So, we can expect positive things to happen relative to bitcoin than something negative. Few countries have given it utmost importance to improve their economy which itself enough to describe it will be used for long.
The funny thing is, there are governments who already regulated and check on bitcoin as something that people could invest into, and I do not mean just El Salvador type small nations, I mean like literally UK and USA and France and Germany, these are all huge nations and they are doing what they can to help people with it. On the other hand, we have topics like this who talk about cutting the whole internet infrastructure like North Korea suddenly.

Why would anyone ever imagine that we would go from what we are right now, which is supportive, to suddenly being something so dark? That's not going to happen, stop considering the worst possible thing that could ever happen.
240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 03, 2023, 09:21:43 PM
Yeah the money will be the issue with him staying at Napoli for a longer period because his performances are outstanding and it is normal that the wealthy clubs will come with huge offers that might change his mind. Napoli will not be able to compete with them by stepping up his wage to a certain level to fend off the competition.
As long as osimhen will still be loyal to the club and money shall not become a problem for him. Napoli will put him as an exception for the club to give him more salary once he will agree to keep playing in napoli. It's now osimhen's choice whether he wanna stay in the club even longer or not.
The thing that must become his main concern about his career. He can go to a big club like real madrid or something else to make his career go even higher. It has been published so many times if napoli is willing to increase his salary for the next contract. I see that money is not a problem here.
It's not just about him wanting to stay, it's about the team wanting that money for sure. I mean if any team offers as high as 70 million euro, or even more, then why would Napoli want to keep him? Don't get me wrong he is a great player and him playing for Napoli would be a great thing for them, but having 70+ million would be even better for them as well. They could spend maybe like half of that on a player and still get a Serie A level striker, so why not take the money?

I get that Napoli fans wants to see Osimhen stay there until he retires, why not right? That's a good player to have for many years, but the team has a responsibility to keep the team going, and spending more than they could afford to keep him is not a good decision.
