I think India will play till lunch today. They will try to add more 80-100 runs and will declare their innings.Moreover they will also need to make the England team all out before tomorrow in order to win the match. It will be really exciting to watch the match according to me. If Jadeja plays well like this then definitely he will make his century complete. He just needs a good partnership now. Today’s innings will be really fun
1st innings was extra ordinary for india but in 2nd inning I can't imagine India could score such poorer. In previous comment,. I mentioned 3 players name from india who did more than 80+ runs in 1st innings but when 2nd innings started, all of them just ended up their batting with rahul 22, Jaiswal 15 and jadeja 2 runs only. I don't know how could all of them get down in 2nd innings. Whatever and did you check the Ollie Pope score? He did 1 run in 1st innings lol. But in 2nd innings he did 196 alone. It seems he consume that 3india players batting performance together. Well really Ollie Pope deserve Respect and if he could score 4 more runs then it would be great archivement for him
India were in complete control of the game in first three days but they lost only control into fourth and last day with lost of match as well because while in first inning they bowled out England this was impressive and then having big lead were clearly into their favour but for me from here mostly their batsmen were overconfidence which hurt them badly, and they lost their match with absence of Virat Kohli was also having his impact because he is experienced campaigner for them in this format, and they need him for few years which will help these new generation players for having better technique and patience to stay at crease for the better finish of the match.

Now we are heading for the second test which is going to start after few days and injury of Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul are going to create more problems for them in this match but I still sure India will win this series.

In today match, PSG failed to get full points because they had to accept draw by Brest, which is the team in 3rd place in the standings, and this is one of the bad match results for PSG.
The reason is that PSG had to lose an attacking player in the final minutes of extra time because the referee was given red card.
With this red card, Bradley Barcola had to miss several future matches.

In the 20th round, PSG will face Strasbourg, which is a middle team in the Ligue 1 standings and in this match, Strasbourg has home game advantage so it will be possible to put pressure on PSG.
In this match, it is certain that Bradley Barcola, who is one of PSG main players, is absent and of course PSG will only use reserve players to fill the void on the front line.
I wanted to see how PSG fared in defeat and this was quite an interesting match.
While at the end of first half I was sure most chances they will win this match by good margin because they were doing good and having all control but suddenly what happen in second half this is surely miserable because no one was expecting result like this from them conceding 2 goals with four yellow cards mean they were trying to have some experiment which bring them down which is surely not ideal because now things are going on better way, and they need consistency and better results.

No doubt Strasbourg is going to be the toughest opponent for them with they are having no defeat into last few games and their performance is also increasing which is plus point so how PSG will handle this all is also important with another match which is going to play between Brest vs Nice going to be interesting for the fans and spots at the top.

Heerenveen hosted AZ Alkmaar at home.I have to say that it was a strange match.In addition to the own goal scored by both teams in the match, AZ Alkmaar's being reduced to 10 men in the 40th minute is one of the events that affected the match.If AZ Alkmaar had not been reduced to 10 men with a red card towards the end of the first half, maybe the match could have ended differently.
Feyenoord, on the other hand, hosted Twente at home.Although Feyenoord is right behind Twente in the championship race, the points difference is more than PSV.So maybe these 2 teams will be in a competition for 2nd place for the rest of the season.Although Feyenoord found many positions, they failed to score a goal in the match.It was even strange that Feyenoord, who played dominant and well compared to their opponent, could not find a goal.I can say that the penalty missed at the beginning of the second half contributed to the match ending like this.
Most of the time we have surprises and shocking things in soccer but still I feel AZ Alkmaar is lucky which escape this defeat and at the end able to have one point from this match while they were playing with 10 men after having red card by full back Kasius even now Heerenveen is having terrible time with no wins, but things were into their favour while their opponent were playing with 10 men and also have one own goal which was helpful for them to win this match but near the end they concede own goal and give chance to them for having draw in this match.

AZ Alkmaar is having no win in last four games which is clearly indicating now it's time for them to have better things otherwise they are going to suffer consequences which can bring them down with most chances are next game could be again not easy for them because they are going to host Feyenoord.

Let me tell you one token from my personal favorites list which is poolx and you can buy now if you want. Apart from just holding you can also profit from poolx tokens by participating in their ido. Their token price is very low now because their supply is very low. Now there is already 83% token lock of circulating supply. I think the price of this token will increase very soon.
Last time there is a thread here about Poolz. And now this, Poolx? Are they related to each other? Because you know, one letter is only their difference. And it's not just a simple random letter, but they are close to each other. The only main difference from Poolz to this Poolx, is that Poolz is not a new coin anymore but this Poolx is still having its IDO.

I won't immediately say its safe since I haven't made my own research yet about this project but if we are willing to take big risk in hopes of earning a quick and maybe a nice profits, we can still go on this one, over the other because there is still a chance for the coin to pump. Though if the coin's supply is low, then the price must not be very low. But if it is, then it's a great deal, because low-supply coins has a potential to pump big once the opportunity permits them.

Gambling depends on luck as well as if you are not experienced at gambling you will never win at gambling. Three days a week seems like too much to me. I would say don't gamble more than one or two days a week as much as possible.  The more the addiction to gambling will increase. Whenever you start gambling excessively, you will have a lot of trouble controlling yourself. Because gambling is a bad addiction, a gambler can lose all his money by gambling.
Absolutely agree with you. Gambling three times a week is clearly too much. Such activity in a year will lead to gambling addiction, and therefore other problems - psychological, financial, etc. You need to realize that the less often a gambler plays gambling, the less likely to become a gambling addict. And this applies not only to gambling. Every person should be able to limit themselves, because uncontrolled activity or use leads to negative consequences.
That's true, I do agree that three times a week is a lot, but also depends on how much you are gambling and not the amount of gambling. If you are gambling three times a week but gambling 5 dollars each, that's 15 dollars a week, whereas if you gamble just once a week, but gamble 50 bucks, you are still gambling more. So if we are talking about the same person, exact same person, and suggest him to gamble once a week, but they spend more money, then maybe that's not good.

I always say, look at how much money you lost/made at the end of the month, and decide if it was good or not. If you look at the number and feeling fine about it, then you are on the correct path, if you gambled and lost a lot more and unhappy, then you are doing something wrong.
286  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Island in the Philippines, Have you ever been there? on: January 28, 2024, 08:40:02 PM
I can also see some decline on the number of local businesses that accept Bitcoin on the Island but hopefully they're gonna restore what they have started there. Though I am not from that island but I would love to visit that place in the near future just to experience the life of living the whole stay with Bitcoin.
Actually, I also really want to experience something like that on an island that is already very famous for Bitcoin, but because where I live is very far from that island, I am prevented from visiting that island to be able to experience life there with Bitcoin. And I also hope that people there do not ignore their own local businesses even though they already know Bitcoin and can enjoy the benefits of Bitcoin in their own way. Because after all, local businesses that can provide profits for themselves must also continue to be run for their prosperity on the island.
Sorry to hear that you are from it but why not look for nearer places instead that offers the same service? I'm sure there are also places like that because BTC is already popular now. And I'm sure your country will have something like this in the near future. So, just have patience mate.

What you said about supporting a local business is great and true. I also heard this phrase a lot of time online. But not all that are into Bitcoin like to use their Bitcoin like a money. Rather they prefer it to be like an asset. This is the only sad part here. But they can still use their fiats instead. So it would be fine if those businesses also support fiat and other payment methods.
287  Economy / Speculation / Re: 112 days waiting for bitcoin halving!! on: January 28, 2024, 05:00:30 PM
Bitcoin halving is only 88 days away, after 88 days Bitcoin halving will start. During this halving period Bitcoin price will be in a downward trend as investors will be given ample opportunity to purchase Bitcoin. No one misses this opportunity because no investor can exist without investing till now. So there is enough time to invest in bitcoins you invest in bitcoins fast and get benefits.
There can't be accurate predictions for what might happen during or before the halving event. The price might go down further before it, or it may go up, the halving doesn't directly affect the price of Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies but it depends on how investors and traders react during that time. If most people start selling their coins, the market might see a decline, however, if there are more buyers than the sellers in the market, we will see the price going up gradually.

The real game starts after the halving because that is what we have been waiting for since the last bull run. It will be fun to see the movements of the market and the reactions of people whether there will be large amounts of buy orders or the other way around.
288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: There is nothing like it since the past 12 years on: January 28, 2024, 04:10:54 PM
I'm a little bit confused with your story. You had no job but you were already investing, "gathering some Bitcoin for long term hold"? How did you do that? Where did you get the money?

And then you were wretched, looked old even if you were still young, and you even eat single meal a day, but you were living with your parents? How could you feed yourself when you have no source of income? And why should you look after your stomach and couldn't eat 2 or 3 times a day when you're living with your parents?

Anyway, thanks for pointing out that you "can't advice anyone to do the same today." I agree. I advice anybody to live a good life. If the price to pay for that is to have no Bitcoin, it's still worth it.
I had the same thought after reading the story, especially the part where he said he ate 1 meal per day while living with his parents in their house because it can mean two things, his parents were either very poor they couldn't afford much and they were going through the same, or they were doing this deliberately so that he finds a job and starts living his own life because parents usually want us to stand on our feet as soon as possible. After all, they know how hard the practical life is.

However, indeed, things can't always go well for people who don't have any source of income. Most become homeless eventually and that is a struggle for life since you don't even have a place to live and you wander around on the streets hoping for a miracle that might change your life and give you some hope again.
289  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: January 27, 2024, 04:29:22 PM
We will never know Klopp's reasons, but whatever decision he takes, it is worth respecting because it is a big decision that Klopp has taken in his life.
Xabi Alonso is indeed quite good at the moment because he succeeded in making Leverkusen a strong team and I don't doubt that Xabi can continue his success if he replaces Klopp as Liverpool coach, but I'm a little doubtful whether Liverpool can get him because currently Xabi is the coach that many people are looking for. by top European teams.

I don't know if Xabi Alonso is a good replacement for Liverpool but am certain that kloop is indeed a good man to actually take such decision and he wouldn't do anything that wouldn't benefit the club. Bayern Leverkusen has changed a lot and the way they play is just different from most teams in the bundesLiga and if Xabi Alonso can simulate such performance in the Liverpool then I think the legacy of kloop will be retain in anfield and hopefully he can pave way for them to win another champions league like he did himself as a player of Liverpool.
After the announcement from the Klopp we have suddenly too many options and views about this all even nothing is clear who is coming and what will happen because still 4 months in this season and currently all giving their best for their club's better performance and having good end Xabi Alonso already denied all talk about his future as he wants to stay at Bayer Leverkusen even this all is just media reports because changes all time can happen until we have final decision or official announcement.

Liverpool has never been easy place for any coach because Premier League is one of the toughest and here we need extraordinary performance and solid strategy otherwise teams can go down like we have in Chelsea case which is now trying their best and still after spending huge funds they are not near the best hopefully Liverpool management will do their best for having things at the same level which created by klopp in last few years.
290  Economy / Economics / Re: The savings problem on: January 27, 2024, 06:39:53 AM
This is only a result of the hyper-inflated toilet paper money, in 70's Someone could buy a property with a 12-month salary but now it has gone up to 240 months which is 200% increase which means the young generation can't build their revenue unless they are doing something exceptional in the previous ear most people can lead decent life only with a salary pay check.

But I don't see any solution to retrieve it back to that old condition and the condition will get worse due to the consumerism culture all over the world and people no longer have the mindset of saving any money and they say they want to live the moment.
I think that is still possible now, as long you know how to budget your salary and you have no debts. You can always built even a small property because I'm sure that is still affordable. But if your salary is huge and then you also have an extra income, building a big property is also possible.

Young generations are still on to something which are less serious, so yeah they may not build anything valuable with their revenue/money but as long as they grow older, their thinking will also change and start to value their money more. There may be low inflation before but there are now more ways to earn. This makes people encourage to invest and earn more. The more they will do it because they think life is harder now. But indeed, there are also people who only wants to live the moment, thinking life is too short to wait and worry.
291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: January 26, 2024, 08:08:42 PM
When it come to the Champions League football, I don't consider PSG as a big team with big name anymore because of several disappointments they have caused in the past. They will be winning first leg with hope of finishing the stage up with some outstanding performance in the second leg, but they usually gave a bad performance which usually led to their elimination in the tournament almost all seasons. This season, their players are not too good compared to some previous seasons back, they only have Mbappe as a star player, that is why I don't expect them to have an easy game against Real Sociedad that has an outstanding performance in their group stage matches.
Now it's time to check for the future instead of going for the past which is surely not good but as things are going we can expect better performance from them in coming matches which will create good confidence and depth in this current players which are doing impressive job in last few matches which as things are going if PSG management keep faith in Luis Enrique we can expect tough challenging performance from them which can give them good chance for the win as well like we have good faith for the Pepe and Jürgen Klopp from their management now it's time PSG management also do this all.

Real Sociedad is surely not easy opponent, but still things can go into their favour for going into last eight which could be impressive because their performance in early matches were not good, but now they are doing good recovery which are surely good sign for them.
292  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Can I become a professional trader? on: January 25, 2024, 05:48:10 PM
I want to choose crypto currency trading as a career
Making trading as a career doesn't seem ideal because trading is not like a job where you will definitely get a salary when you finish the job.
In trading, you can not only get profits but losses will also be impossible for you to avoid, no matter how skilled you are at trading, you will definitely get both, so that when you are not mentally able to see the losses you get then you will be even more stressed and it will make it more difficult to analyze the market for opening positions in the next trade, so if you want to make trading a career then you must have income from other sources and the money you use to trade is what you can afford to lose, but I don't see that as an ideal thing to do as a career.
There are professional traders. So if they can do it, why can't we? It is only not easy though. So, first we can start with a job and we can trade in the background. We also need to save up a lot of money before deciding to abandon our job for trading, so that we can be able to survive in tough times, since not all times we can earn a profit in trading. Being stressed is a kind of emotion. Other than that, there is also greed that we can feel once the opposite outcome is showing.

We need to remain calm so that we can still trade stably, since over-trading and using more money increases our risks. We may get lucky but not all times the results are like that.
293  Economy / Economics / Re: My life plan for wealth and btc good idea on: January 25, 2024, 04:34:22 PM
bitcoin is good for planning to become prosperous and rich. but before achieving that, you have to work. because investing in bitcoin requires money, nothing is free. at least look for coins through bounty airdrops or signature campaigns. after collecting new capital is developed through trading.
There is a risk in Bitcoin. We won't just invest on it and say that we will now be rich in the future. No, that's not how it works, but we must also have or set our selling point, because if not, we will only wait for the eternity to become rich, since the price will just go up and down. If we don't have a money, there are still sources to get Bitcoins for free. I'm talking about the Bitcoin faucets. We can start here as a beginner and also to get familiar with BTC.

Airdrops are another source too but this requires more effort than the faucet. Bounty on the other hand is already like a job. There are still valuable cryptos that we can get here, which is also good for holding apart from Bitcoin.

Yesterday's Big Bash League final was a disappointing match for me. I supported the Sydney Sixers in yesterday's final. And I thought the Sydney Sixers team would try their hardest and win the championship. But the players of the Sydney Sixers failed to do that. I think the Sydney Sixers would not have been in this situation if they had batted well in the last order. Although Sydney Sixers have been playing well all season, I never thought they would perform so badly in this final match.
You not alone in this disappointment because Sydney Sixers were fans and bookies favourite which done good job in throughout BBL but in last game they have collapse which were unexpected so they lost this final even after end of the Brisbane Heat inning there were chance they will chase this target, and we will have them as winner, but things were not gone as expectations, and they lost final game by good margin Spencer Johnson was the main destroyer for the Brisbane Heat so things not gone in Sydney Sixers favour even they were playing with good quality team for me the biggest disappointment were their all batting line-up completely fail to deliver in this important match which was astounding.
295  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: January 24, 2024, 08:35:35 PM
It seems that you don't know the power behind betting predictions. I had won more in predictions than the one I used my strategy to bet on. This is why we need to know the kind of predictions we are using so that we don't come back as complain later that the predictions was wrong. For those of us that had been making some profits from predicted games, we would understand how important betting predictions could help us to win more in gambling. We don't have to relent so much on gambling predictions because we can't determine the out of a game or match by what we say or the past record. Anything can happen at anytime.
You just said it at the end, it's all random.

So, there's no prediction power in describing a chart, which is basically what technical analysis is.

It's simple to look back and try to explain what happened based on shapes on a graph, but looking into the future anything can happen.
I think sports betting is not as random as the games that we saw inside a casino. Games like Dice, Slots (for instance). About that TA in a chart. Are you referring to the financial market? Preferably cryptos? But I think they are more random than the sports betting. Of course, explaining a past event is easy because we already know what happened. But, predicting the future is the one that is tough.

Still, in sports betting, we can increase our chances when we do an analysis based on the teams strengths & weaknesses, and also on other factors. With that said, I can believe on an expert prediction on sports betting which already has a good winning record.
296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 24, 2024, 07:46:55 PM
I believe the coach understands better if a new player should be added to the team, and if he does not make any new transfers to the club during this transfer period, we can conclude that he is satisfied with the squad and confident in their ability to win what they are fighting for this season. I don't see any position for which Arsenal desperately needs a backup; the first eleven players are fine, and they simply need to be managed well in order to achieve the best possible results for the team. I am currently looking up to Arsenal to fight for that top spot in the league and with the squad they’ve built so far, I don’t think that will be a problem for them to make it happen if their Coach Arteta can manage them well for the remainder of the season.
During their bad weeks few rumours were spreading around but as they back with bang now things are looking much better and positive with most chances they are not going to have any changes in this season because their all players are performing impressive, and they can do much better in coming weeks as well which will be good for their moral and confidence level will be also high.

Mikel Arteta needs to learn from mistakes and not try more experiments which are hurting their performance but still if they will decide about any new signing then surely things will be improved and having better change for the next season because they need to be done for long run and this is also important as many clubs mostly done but hopefully this all will be happened in coming season.
297  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Knowing Bitcoin price history is important on: January 24, 2024, 06:58:22 PM
What the OP said might be truth because with some good information about the past price of Bitcoin one can easily tell or predict how much it will be next time.
However, most of the times some predictions are might not be accurate but there will definitely be a day or time when one can predict the actual price of Bitcoin.
I also don't think that Bitcoin will ever decrease to $20 or $15k in future because it will cause a serious commotion that a lot of people will buy and hold it, both those that do not have the money to buy the Bitcoin at that time will want to borrow and buy (which is not a good idea).
The reason why I said it would be good to know the past price of Bitcoin is because it might help an investor to know when Bitcoin will increase or decrease.
Analysing past price can help but I think it won't give us an assurance. If only that how easy things work, many of us are now millionaire Cheesy. Like you, I also think BTC won't fall that low. It seems impossible right? Based on how things are looking right now in Bitcoin. What is more possible is that BTC price go through the roof. But if let say the other occurs, yes it will cause a commotion.

Though I think many people are going to sell than to buy because they think it's the start of the end of Bitcoin. Borrowing money to invest can be a good idea "IF" you know that the coin will still recover and rise for more. I know this can be the case for BTC now, but it may take a long time to happen, so it is still not advisable to do.

As far as I know, Benzema has stated that he will continue playing at Al Ittihad and also, this statement also applies to Firminho who has decided to restore their team's performance in the Saudi Pro League . But indeed,considering that Benzema seems to have problems with the Al Ittihad coach then yes, this factor might mean that Benzema will be able to leave or return to playing in Europe. But ya, it is still uncertain but when it comes to returning to play for Lyon, I think it seems difficult for Benzema to accept. Unless, if Benzema really wants to help his old team recover in Ligue 1 then it could happen, but considering Benzema attitude then yes, I'm not sure Benzema will play for Lyon.
Yeah, most chances now as things are going ahead Karim Benzema and Firmino will stay in league until end of this season then we will have better decisions for these both players even most chances they will leave and try to have comeback here in Europe but most chances Karim Benzema will be not able to have any suitable club because of his injury issue and age factor but Firmino can go better but now for the all better things we have to wait until end of this season.

Firmino fail to make his mark in Saudi League which is surely big problem for him, but he needs to stay and try again instead of having any new deal which can create more problems staying in this league and try to give his best much better option for him.
299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Time to collect altcoins now or later? on: January 23, 2024, 06:46:23 PM
I think this is the best time to invest in alt coins because the prices are very down and mostly investors are busy with bitcoin due to ETF approval. Once they are done with getting profit from BTC, altcoins will come into consideration. I have seen charts of different altcoins and the majority are down significantly from their peak price, if they touched even half of that price you can earn huge profit.
I think not very down because we aren't still in another bear yet. We will need to see a bull run first before it happens. What only happened can be a correction for the mini pump that we experienced. It does not mean though that investing is now bad, especially in altcoins. We can even invest at any time. That taught us the method of DCA.

It maybe true that many are busy with BTC and not only because there is an ETF but it was the main coin. There are still who thinks that alts will benefit on the pump of BTC, so they don't disregard it. Once people are done selling their BTC, they will surely switch on alts next. So before it dumps, make sure we are first to do it.
300  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: What's your observation about XAI coin? on: January 23, 2024, 06:05:52 AM
Just made little peep from coinmarketcap and I discovered it was listed in binance and some other good exchange which I think is good for someone to hold not only because it was listed there but binance hardly allow coin to dump on their investors or traders who trading on that particular assets. If they noticed any liquidity drop or much changes they wouldn't mind delisting it to secure investors funds and for that I will encourage anyone buying to hold it in binance.
That is what the OP said that it was listed on Binance. That alone is already good for both the coin owner and the investor but what is even good is they are also listed on other good exchanges. I think it shows that they are serious and maybe many people have invested on them for them to have such budget to get listed on those exchanges. I think Binance can't prevent the project that decides to turn bad.

Though indeed they can delist them. But those who bought the coin will suffer even badly because they can not trade it anymore. Much more if other exchanges will do the same thing. Holding cryptos inside Binance or in any exchanges is very risky, and many users don't recommend doing that.
