I could not agree more, Arsenal seems to be in their worst situation this season. They do not want to spend more money to build a good competitive squad.
The money they spent for transfers in latest seasons are not small and it is only because they did bad transfers or they did one good transfers after 1 or 3 seasons. So when a new successful transfer is made, the previous successful player already falls to downward of performance.

Generally they don't get net effects from a few good transfers they made recent years.

To be fair the team was already in a mess when Mikel Arteta came in. The team is unstable, Arsenal at this point is in a period of transition, things are going to be more difficult henceforth because losing two matches consecutively at the beginning of the season will weaken their spirit. Arteta will have to give the team a pep talk to boost their morale. A win was what they needed to bounce back to life, everyone underestimated Brentford since they came out of regulation...supposed to be a easy win for Arsenal but they  lost.
Arsenal were wrong when they sacked Unai Emery. In my opinon, Unai Emery is better than Arteta and he has better results for the team than Arteta. This season, Arteta will very likely be sacked because I don't believe he will be able to help the team going back to right track.

A few more bad matches and he will be sacked. I don't hope it happens but who knows, it might be a good thing for the club.

With extension from wallet, I only use it with a wallet for one purpose. I don't store all my money in that wallet because if wallets are closed source, I don't know what they built in the extensions.

QR code of 2FA is risky too. It is always easier to scan QR code to set up 2FA for your account but many people scan 2FA QR code and forget to back it up. You will have two options to set up your 2FA, type it, copy and paste, scan QR Code.

I copy and paste to back it up.
Type it manually to check the usability of my backup.

I wasn't surprised when Man city won even by 10 goals because only in this way can they get back on track they won't lose or draw against a promoted team because it can bring down the player's mentality. On the one hand, their main competitors in the EPL continue to show positive performance Man united, Chlesea and Liverpool competing at the top of the standings so there is no reason for Man city to lose points.
10 goals or 1 goal, if they win, it is good result. If they score ten goals but only get one point, it is terrible. In football, 3 points are more important than how many goals you score.

In Serie A 1993 - 1994, AC Milan won Scudetto with 36 goals and 15 conceded goals. They scored very little goals after the injury of Marco Van Basten but they still won the Scudetto.

I am not surprised that they lost their first two matches against those big vlubs, both Liverpool and Man City has big budget, cost more than Norwich, both  has world class players compared to Norwich city players, Norwich was poor in the match they should get there act together and up their games by playing well against other EPL smaller clubs in order to avoid to relegation and clamour for survival this season,, there are plenty opportunities ahead with they should utilize to avoid drop.
Norwich is weaker than Liverpool and Manchester City so they did not have bad results. If they lose against clubs at same level as theirs, they will have bad results.

Manchester City came back after a first bad match in Premier League and Norwich is a victim of Manchester City. Big clubs usually come back stronger after one sudden defeat.

let's be honest, barcelona this way will finish in third or fourth place at the end of the season, barcelona is very weak and every game will be noticed, I'm glad they tied today because if real madrid wins then we'll be at the top and if the athlete losing will also be very good. in any case without Messi, it seems to me that we don't need to worry about Barcelona anymore. now our biggest rival has become Atletico Madrid , these guys will be a big headache this season again
Third position is not bad for Barcelona. The ended in third position last year and if this year, they can keep that position after losing Messi, it is acceptable result for them.

Memphis Depay started this season so good and Barcelona can hope that he will not be another failure like Coutinho, Dembele or Griezman. Memphis joined them with free transfer and at least if he fails, Barcelona will lose less money for Memphis.

I believe Memphis will have a great time in Barcelona. I think Barcelona so far operate good enough without Messi.

DeFi and cryptocurrencies will be more seriously regulated by governments and they will face with many barriers for their growth.

DeFi projects are not like Bitcoin. Their developers are publicly known and governments can catch them if they want. Bitcoin is an anonymous Satoshi Nakamoto that makes it different.

If governments can force Binance to do KYC on all customers, they can do the same or more serious things on DeFi projects. The latest KYC updates on Binance is a new warning that exchange wallet is not the safe wallet to use.

I don't like Binance with that update because they don't give customers time to withdraw money if they don't want to complete KYC. What do Binance think when they allow withdrawal but don't allow to cancel current orders? It's very shady rule.

I still believe in Coutinho,no doubt,the player is talented,all he needs is love from his coach to give him regular playing time,which I see, will bring out the best in him.
Coutinho is a great player but it is his past and golden time. Since the transfer to Barcelona, Coutinho lost his performance and the loan to Bayern Munich can not help him to come back. He won a Champions League with Bayern but his contribution is not big.

Big players can get troubles after a transfer and never come back. Fernando Torres, Kaka, Shevchenko, and more. I hope that Coutinho will return to his best but I am doubtful that it will happen.

Quote
Another player who deserves that number is Memphis Depay.
This player is also talented as well.His move to Barcelona will actually add depth to the Barca squad.Most people argue that now that Messi is no longer in the team,that the team will fall,but to me,Barca will play more that the way they played with Messi,because I think the team was built on the shoulders of Messi,which made other players under- perform.But this time around,they will play  as a team.
Memphis is different entirely because after a failure in Mancheter United, he quickly got his best back in Lyon. After a few seasons in Lyon, he became one of the best attacking players in the Europe and a key player in Netherlands.

Barcelona looks to have a great free transfer with Memphis but again, will they give him good position to play in Camp Nou. With Koeman, who used to be a coach of Netherlands, Memphis likely have a good future in Barca.

It's time to forget about the last season, because a new season has already arrived  Wink
It is just about nothing changed and improved in Arsenal. They began a new season with a defeat.

Chelsea are stronger with some good transfers and if Lukaku can adapt to the team, become a source of goals for them, they will be very strong in Premier League.

Quote
The English Premier League is a fairly competitive league, where even outsiders can fight and take away points from the leaders, let alone about average teams, as you put it. Therefore, I would not say with confidence about an easy match for Chelsea. Arteta has stayed at the club and he has something to prove for the club's management. Arsenal may have game problems over the long distance of the entire championship and the entire season, but you can really tune in to one match, especially when it's a derby. Although of course, in any case, in the current conditions, the advantage is on the side of Chelsea.
Premier League is very competitive and it is a derby match so Arsenal will start with the highest ambition they have. Is it enough for them to beat Chelsea, I don't know tbh.

Arteta seems to be not good enough as a main coach and he need more time, more experience to grow from assistant coach to main coach. Especially in a big club with big pressure like Arsenal.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: August 20, 2021, 01:47:33 AM
Arsenal is not as strong as it used to be. Chelsea should have won.
With Arsenal, in past several seasons, the question is not how strong they are but how weak and unstable they are in performance. They spend more money for transfers since Metsut Ozeil and they actually made some good transfers like Aubameyang, Lacazette but one or two players are not enough to carry the team.

Quote
It looks like Romero Lukaku will make his Chelsea debut this time. But I heard that Ngolo Kante, Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are not available. They are currently recovering from injuries. But I think chelsea should be able to win against Arsenal.
Drogba brought lot of nightmare to Arsenal so how about Lukaku whom is called as Drogba version 2.0? Chelsea have very good attacking tactics and Lukaku are strong with his muscular body and with his sensitivity in front of goals, I think Arsenal will face many troubles.

It's fair to give Chelsea the role of the favorite in this match. They are in very good form, solid defensively, and Lukaku's addition seems to be like the missing piece to complete the "perfect" team puzzle. Still is too early for any team and we shouldn't exclude Arsenal. Of course, Arsenal needs more than luck to become competitive and be among the contenders. I just hope to see their mistakes before it's too late for them.
It is not a big match anymore with the degradation of Arsenal. The clash now is like between a giant and medium team. I am sorry to say it with Arsenal fans but it is fact. Surprise is always part of football but I don't believe that Arsenal will end this clash with 1 or 3 points.

The mentality is certainly a good thing, but it will not help much if it is not supported by the skill of the players and game experience.
Dortmund have good mentality and they have good results too. They are just unable to keep their good results through a season. In league competition, you can not win the title after 10 good matches.

Yeah, it has been the situation for a long time. Dortmund have had big problems in many unexpected games so far.
Because they don't have good substitutions on bench. When their key players get injuried and miss a few matches, their results will be affected negatively. This is period when Dortmund fall behind Bayern. When key players recover and come back, it's too late for them to catch Bayern.

Quote
But Bayern were more successful in their games in general. This makes the big difference in the end. Otherwise, we would watch a great competition for the title between these two teams before.

But I feel like this season is different. I think we will see a much better Dortmund in the Bundesliga. They won't lose points in easy games so many times.
It's on the beginning and honestly, Dortmund had some seasons like this in the past, brought hope after excellent starts but at the end, they were exhausted and gave up the competition in Bundesliga.

Comparing marketing with other casino.

IMO, most of them have a similar way or plant for the marketing
- Promoted by sponsorship some streamer/YouTuber
- Make some event contest
- Good Rakeback/reward
- Giveaway

The rest factor will depend on the service like interface, games, betting activity like max/min bet/win, how fast transaction.
What marketing are not used on Roobet.com to promote it to gamblers?

I think on this forum, Roobet is one of the most active gambling site if we talk about marketing. They run a big signature campaign, high payment rate, many events and contest (digital art, handmade art, video, etc.).

Additionally, they launched their sportsbook that is a big surprise for me. Because the have sportsbook, I think in the future, they can run tournaments like that La Liga prediction pool, sponsored by Sportsbet

I do agree that it is not that easy to end up with specific type of gambler, I mean windice was never a supppeeerbly popular place, it was a decent one of course but I have seen it get less and less attention lately, for the past year they got lower and lower in wagering numbers, maybe the wagering amount increased or decreased I do not know that but it certainly did decreased by half at least for wagering number, so that is a bad thing to see.
Windice makes their name in gambling and they become one of most popular dice sites that have announcement topics on the forum. Your finding is true because Windice stopped to run their promotion on the forum.

If they come back with more promotions, they will get more new gamblers. The market is bullish and gambling is one of entertainment for traders and investors.

Quote
That means if they do sportsbook then they really need to do big marketing, I do not care if they have their own forum, they are already know or anything else, even Stake with how highly popular they are, did a whole marketing thing for their sportsbook, hell they even spend so many millions on sponsoring Watford this season. Windice do not have to be THAT big of course, but it still requires to spend a bit more money.
Sportsbook is favorite gambling for gamblers, sport gamblers in particular. However, running a sportsbook is different and more complex than gaming or dice site.

You got a point because I know some gambling sites are trying to build their sportsbooks. Recently I see Roobet released theirs. It makes sense that Windice team can consider about your idea.

The problem is that if Bayern can give out a series of winning matches, then rival clubs cannot support this series and make their own similar series. So it turns out in recent seasons that it seems that Bayern gives chances to competitors and at a certain stage of the championship it seems to lag behind the competitors, but then the club turns on the second speed, gives out a good series of winning matches and leaves the competitors behind.
Bayern are outperform other clubs in Bundesliga and in the process of whole season, they are unbeatable. They can lose a few matches, a few points but they are able to grap so many more points than other clubs. It help them to win Bundesliga, even win it ahead of time, with many matches left before the end of each Bundesliga season.

In Bundesliga, it is barely to see a competition of title lasts to final day of the league.

Quote
I would not say that the strongest players are not present in the Bayern squad. It's just about this that Bayern can't complain about and the club can give a head start to any other Bundesliga club and the selection is set as it should be. Just the main thing is that these strongest players act as a well-coordinated mechanism and give out the result in the main match, which happened in the match for the Super Cup.
Bayern squad have best players in Germany in most of seasons there. They have a strategy to buy best players from other German clubs and they don't let opponents to dominate the league in more than one or worse more than two seasons. They grab the title back very soon, after buying best players from opponents.

They have best finance among German clubs and it helps them to complete that strategy.

I am happy to announce that the bridge is opened for beta-testing to connect BGL mainnet with Eth ERC20 WBGL and Binance SC BEP20 WBGL!
Now it should be able to seamlessly and quickly transfer BGL between those chains.

https://bitgesell-bridge.com/
Congratulations Bitgesell team.

For the project as well as the community, it is a big achievement. Is it time to submit listing application and bring Bitgesell to many DeFi platforms, includes the Pancakeswap?

If the team can successfully complete this task, it will help to increase daily trading volume of the coin.

Quote
There are some limits available, but would be eventually refilled.
If you want to earn on rate difference between BGL/WBGL on DEX, it should be doable through this solution.
How about promotion videos about the bridge?

It can be made by the team? Or it can be made through video contests and the team will choose best videos from the community.

Damn, I knew that I am not the most perceptive person, but didn't know I suck this much. I've been on the forum for almost two years now, saw Vod avatar God knows how many times and I never realized its actually animated.
Animated avatars are not bad but those avatars will become annoying if
- They are designed badly, too fast animations that distract our eyes and concentration on the text and discussions that are main elements in the forum. The forum is for idea discussion, not for signature or avatar.
- They are overused by many companies and signature campaign participants.

I don't think theymos will bring animated avatars back but personally I feel good if they have good designs.

- Follow big brains like PlanB, WillyWoo, Glassnode on Twitter.
- Build up your plan as long term, not short term.
- Make investment, not gamble, not trade, and if you trade, let's choose Spot trading rather than Future or Margin tradings.
- If you don't trade, move your Bitcoin from exchanges to non custodial wallets.
Because when you move your coins to your wallets, you will have full control, with private key, password, etc.
You will spend less time to watch chart and the less time you watch chart, the less emotion you have.

The hashrate recovers from its bottom. Since the crackdown from China. The recovery comes from non-Chinese hashrate as consequence of the Great Hashpower Migration since the crackdown.

I am doubtful that hashrate from China won't increase again. The nation is in rainy and flood season and I am expecting a big recover after this season completes. It will be fun if it recovers and crackdown was reversed after the end of rainy season.
