3001  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀-Sportsbet.io-🚀 - Main sponsor of Southampton FC 👋👋 on: July 03, 2022, 08:51:11 PM
It doesn't matter though about the logo, big or small people will see it, I think even Barca had a small unicef logo for years but it brought a lot of attention to us, and I know it was pretty special because it was a free sponsorship space, very unique.

The Bitcoin logo on Watford sleeve was also really cool, so small, so noticeable, and it wasn't even Sportsbet but I think everyone who asked or wondered found out it was because Sportsbet was a crypto accepting place.

Arsenal sponsorship seems different though, it's like just a betting partner, if I'm not mistaken. But to see those Gunners on the website, truly special.
I mean the logo size on the jersey and logo size on the sideboards or on the background or on the web page are different. I am still 100% on board with the fact that the sponsorship on Southampton would bring in more people than what Arsenal side ones would bring. Arsenal is definitely a bigger club there is no denying that, but at the same time we are talking about less visibility.

This means that Southampton would bring in a lot more. However, when these two ends, if you combine these two together, then maybe they could get a bigger name? Like yeah you can't get in front of the jersey sponsorship on Arsenal with this kind of money, but maybe something like West Ham? That would be so sweet.

I have the same opinion. Bilateral series is only for hardcore fans. People like me prefer either ICC tournaments, or triangular/quadrangular series involving multiple teams, but these type of tournaments are no longer being organized by the cricket boards. In fact, I forget when for the last time I heard about a triangular series. Previously such tournaments used to be hosted by cities such as Sharjah, Singapore and Toronto. But everything came to a halt because of the packed international calendar.
Right now it's all revoling around money rich IPL. BCCI from next year want 2.5 or 3 months for IPL. Sharjah was hub of tri series with Pakistan and India as mandatory participants. There are two worldcups now for ODI and T20I. So under such circumstances there won't be any tri series.
Now IPL factor going to have big impact on cricket because we are already having too many troubles so if ICC allow them for their required window this could be more issue with just few boards are going to have benefit and many others are going to suffer they could be not able to have International tours or anything related to cricket which can hurt their financial and most chances no one going to against them because all have their own interests.

ICC was never neutral for all boards but now having another conflict of power which can create bad things if they are going to allow IPL special window then surely someone else will also try to have something for himself because it's all about equal rights let's watch what happen in coming days because now cricket future is looking not good day by day.

Inter might be the biggest contender for the title next time. Because they have made nice signings like Joaquín Correa (permanent deal) and Romelu Lukaku (on loan). Especially the expectations from Lukaku would be quite big and we will see if he will be able to show the same performance he did here again. If he does then Inter can be much more competitive for the title under Simone Inzaghi's management. Dzeko wasn't able to complete Martinez well but things could be much better for them now.
In last season as they perform I was sure they are going to win this title but sadly in last rounds they fail to give their best and give few crucial points which help AC Milan for title after Napoli also give in plat because from start to middle of the season Napoli were giving their best and mostly people's feeling they are not going to give any chance to any team for challenging them, but sadly they were also chock badly and drop from top to fourth spot which was the worst end of the season for them.

But, now in coming season we have two giants are ready for their title fight and both are preparing very strongly which is going to be very interesting as AC Milan is having some issues, and it's difficult for them to defend their title.

Why do you feel the need to reply this long to someone who doesn't even get what "digital" means. I mean the idea that people would want something, and would get it digitally, is a thing that has been around for decades and you are talking with someone who thinks there needs to be a tangible thing to make it valuable and otherwise it shouldn't be a thing.

Even bitcoin could be physical for Christ sake, you could print it, and then spend it anywhere that accepts it, and that would be physical and that is still not the point. Bitcoin is valued because we said so, and that's it, that's all there is to it, nothing more is required about this.

These rain breaks are helping the Indian cause.

That means more breaks to Key bowlers Bumrah and Shami, with these breaks they can rest their legs bit more and go with another spell which is extremely important and batters needs to start again.

On of the reason i don't mind these breaks after every 10 overs Cheesy
There is no doubt after first session this test match is going into Indian control thanks to Pant and Jaddu for their great skills with batting and at the end World record over from Broad in front of new Captain Bumbrah. With the end of second day now England is at 84 for five mean they are in deep trouble and need some hard work from these two Bairstow and Stokes for staying into this test match and lever series.

Good news for Indian team and their fans we are expecting some breaks in tomorrow play as well which are going to help bowlers, and surely it's going to hurt England badly with after winning series against New Zealand mostly peoples were feeling it's going to be easy task for them, but suddenly we have big drama and all out of their hands with some chance.

Tomorrow first session is going to be very important if these two are going to stay then surely it's going to be not good otherwise it's going to be big win for India.
3006  Economy / Gambling / Re: Question for regular casino players. Will you use Lightning if available? on: July 02, 2022, 05:51:21 PM
I do not support the lightening network as an alternative to gambling because we have so many options now to deposit our funds on gambling platform with so many coins we can use without bothering ourselves about the lightening network. Many gambling sites now does not use the lightening network so why will I consider it as an alternative.
Altcoins are not  a solution because they are usually more volatile than Bitcoin, they force you to use exchanges to change your Bitcoins against them, and you have to believe in them when you want to gamble big amounts of money. Moreover they often don't provide any reputed wallet to hold them safely outside any platform. LN would allow Bitcoin believers to cheaply gamble without having to let their funds into the casino once they've finished their session.
I think bitcoin is the most volatile coin here in cryptos while alts are much more stable. Alts are created because they provide a solution to the known problems of bitcoin. No one is forced here to exchange their coins but it's up to the people if they will do this or not.

If you want to play gambling using altcoins because you think it was faster and cheaper to use then you will definitely need to convert your bitcoin to alts if ever you don't have any on your wallet. It's important to get familiarized with the casino and if what its reputation before you play gambling on them or if you are planning to store your funds on them for quite some time.
3007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reasons why people avoid KYC in gambling casino ? on: July 02, 2022, 02:29:18 PM
Yes, many gamblers want this but to some, they can just play no matter what type of casino it was (kyc or non kyc based) as there are more other important things for them than the kyc.

I think that the reason why there are players that dislikes doing a kyc is that they think their kyc will be sold and misused by the casino or their representatives and maybe there's a tiny percent that refrain of doing a kyc because they are scared for anyone to know that they are gambling. Who, knows maybe some of their relatives or family members are working on that particular casino? But, if they are on a restricted country, a casino will usually restrict them right at the start.
3008  Economy / Economics / Re: Can Bitcoin Reduce the Global Wealth and Income Inequalities in 2022? on: July 02, 2022, 01:11:00 PM
Bitcoin can be a relief asset to overcome inflation. But the way it has been dealing with the market most of the BTC will be in hands of big corporations and few individuals. This will worsen the inequality even more. Some people made luck in BTC by joining early but before the mass adoption, 99% of people on the plant will not be able to buy 1 BTC from the market. Its price is already unreachable price for most people.
They say that bitcoin have failed to become a hedge against the inflation, I think that is because its value have dumped a lot. It's okay if there are inequalities in this market because those who owns large number of bitcoin can sometimes pump and dump this market and if we are smart enough to know what to do during that situation, we can use that as our own advantage.

Definitely that many people cant buy a one whole bitcoin but they can always buy in smaller portions right after every dump. If they keep doing this, it's possible that they can accumulate 1 btc  in the future. The good thing about btc is that it's volatile which means that those who are late will still have the chance to enter and change their lives for the better.
3009  Economy / Gambling / Re: Rocketpot.io refusing to pay out 170k win on: July 02, 2022, 12:28:06 PM
Their terms state all withdrawals will be processed within 24 hours. It’s been over that now since I requested the $6000 withdrawal as I was instructed to do. I was told yesterday by Sofia who’s their vip manager it would be today latest. I’ll be giving reasonable time, but also taking any action necessary asap. With all my proof and evidence and them even agreeing my winnings were legit(see previous update).  Black and white, it looks like rocketpot is further delaying to not pay out what is rightfully mine.
Based on that terms they already cannot keep up with what they are promising, their being absence is questionable although there are no complaints against Rocketpot as far as I know this one is big that it depends on what road they are going to take, will they choose to not pay you and just close or pay and build their reputation as a casino that can fulfill its promise even the amount is huge, it's their decision where they are heading.
There might be complaints before but most of them are fake or doesn't have enough evidence. There's also legit complaints but it was lite and easy to fix while this one here involves a big amount. Still, it was their responsibility to pay whoever wins in a legit way.

I think that before a casino starts, they will first think if they can afford to pay a huge amount if ever someone wins it unless if they are not serious on this business and has an intention to turn into a scam later on but in the event they pay all the op's winnings, it could give them a good impression which can make their sales to skyrocket and they might earn more money later on.

I said earlier that they could do by agreeing to something in the middle and they did. Glad that it worked out in the end for Red as they do sure wouldn't want to let their Egyptian star out of the team and haunt them back in competitions playing for opponents. Klopp is said to be main man talking to Salah about plans before contract extension. So well done Klopp...
Mohammed Salah will not leave Liverpool this summer simply because Jurgen Klopp won't hesitate to lose two of key players this summer. The reds are really interested in extending his contract and the Egyptian will agreed to extend his contract with the team. Klopp is trying all his best to acknowledge that Mohammed Salah contract extension would be a lengthy one. That will be good news for Salah as his salary will increase with his extension of contract.
It is usually not up to Klopp, he is under contract and if the team wants to sell Salah, they can do that and Klopp would have to accept that. Plus he is getting players according to what they may need in the future and by the looks of it we are seeing Salahless Liverpool to be pretty decent. They can't just rely on one player anyway, which means that they will need to figure out for the future.

Salah being sold means that they could start that process a lot earlier on, and they are ready right now, could still be a top 3 team easily and wouldn't have to worry about their future because it will only get better for them after that as well.
3011  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: THIS CRASH IS DIFFERENT than previous crashes... The FEDERAL RESERVE is why.... on: July 01, 2022, 08:54:45 PM
^^The reason why there are so many people who just listen to other people is a bit more about human nature. We always feel ingrained to pick a leader, even if you get like 10 people together then you pick a leader. The human nature is to look up to someone, and let "some" of your freedoms go and be decided by someone else.

This is a horrible knowledge that many would argue against, and even prove revolutionaries as examples, but even there we have leaders. Hence, the idea of "letting all the work go, relax, sit down watch some netflix shows and allow another dude to decide on my financial future" seems easy and natural to many people in the world.
3012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: July 01, 2022, 08:09:12 PM
I am not sure whether there is a rivalry between the Bangladesh players and their Cricket board and hence they are performing badly. Players are always disposable and the board can always replace a player who is not performing better, only Shakib Al Hasan has some sort of dispute with the board as far as i understand and the only reason he is able to do so is because he is the best player Bangladesh produced.
It's not just Shakib. Most of the senior players are not happy with how things are being run by the BCB. And in most of the South Asian countries, the cricket boards are not really independent. There will be a lot of political interference. This is true in the case of all the 4 major cricket boards - BCB, BCCI, PCB and SLCB. Unfortunately, the payers suffer as a result of this. At some point, the ICC needs to step in. As per the ICC rules, cricket boards should be independent bodies, and if political interference is there, then the funds will be put on hold.
Sadly we are in South Asia having never been good sportsperson's in terms of bringing merit and best results for teams mostly when teams going to have good results we read inner politics and many other negative tactics by management to bring things down drastically even most of the time eleven out of eleven trying to have captaincy cap with no talent and skills. On other side, in Western countries or Australians are much better in this way as they prepare their players for having better concentration on their own game plane instead of going in other ways which help them positively, and they are able to bring much better results for their countries.

Political influence in this area is having his own impacts as well, just because of this we are much behind no in world even from few other Asian countries which are working on merit and having strong political system which is not having any role in sports.

How long will the Lewandowski transfer rumors continue, in fact Bayern Munich has rejected three offers from Barcelona. It looks like Bayern Munich has no intention of releasing Lewandowski even though they have officially signed Sadio Mane from Liverpool. No need to talk too much about Lewandowski, Until now there has been no agreement in the transfer process for Lewandowski's transfer, it is very likely that Lewandowski will stay at Bayern Munich until his contract runs out.
Right now this is big question in all people's mind what's going on because both parties were agreed for cooperation and Bayern Munich was also having all things settled for this transfer but suddenly their wired rejection is creating big question.

Maybe this is tactical or mind game from Bayern Munich as they don't want to give free hand to Barcelona for next season in Champions League because with this their attack could be lethal, and they can destroy any team with Auba and few more youngsters are already having good impact with their performance or now Bayern Munich is not feeling good with this transfer even they have their desired payment from Barcelona if they will not accept this then surely in next season he could be free agent.

Bayern Munich has no financial problem, so maybe they are not allowing to him for this season many questions but no solid reply.
3014  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: According to Sam Bankman-Fried, some Bitcoin exchanges are insolvent on: July 01, 2022, 05:39:38 PM
This ain't even a question in my mind. I feel like there is a good amount of them that are insolvent for sure. They end up getting hacked, getting attacked, doing mistakes, losing money and in the end there are tons of money missing from the coffers that should be there.

So, what do they do? They act as if profit making ponzi schemes, which means that if nobody cash out all of the money, they could use all their profits to get back to being solvent, but if anything happens before that then they are caught and they need to come clean. This is why I use binance, because I know that they are too big to be insolvent, even if they ever lose something, they can get it back before anything happens.

The only credit I got with that incredible campaign manager was the product of my job, that I want to praise him is because he is one of the best, I say the example with him because he has a lot of experience and of course, there are currently many scammers who are very cunning and apart from that they are intelligent and can deceive him and anyone, in fact here in the forum there are many campaign managers who have been cheated, but the probability is very small, in my case when a campaign is launched with them, the probability that they think that one of those casinos is fraudulent is very small. And you are right V2 was not as successful as V1, but also the point is that you can be more confident when it comes to NFT, at least it is easier to trust a casino than in 2021 when NFT games were everywhere, In addition, the market situation has been declining.
He is seriously the best at what he does. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying others are bad, but at the same time there needs to be one "the best" and he is the one. I personally love working with him, whatever project he works, I love working together with him. He is always fair, he never pushes you too hard unless you do something that is against the rules clearly.

If you are a decent poster, like do not do it for just the money but for real and you provide something then you are going to be fine. Rollbit is awesome for picking him, and their marketing has been awesome and got all of the NFT's sold very quickly, all because rollbit knew how to work the market and do the right things and push the right buttons.

When this tournament is used as a place to try strategies for big teams, then at least they can still play with good results. Because trying several strategies doesn't have to mean they always fail because the opponent is a weaker team, even though it's good for mediocre teams but that doesn't mean they can win easily. But yes, there is nothing more that can be done because everything has happened, I just find it difficult to accept the results obtained in this National League because as a big team of course they have several advantages even though they are trying a strategy at least they can still survive better because they have a squad with better quality.
Of course they could end up winning, there is no guarantee that it will be a loss, it just means that it is not going to be that easy to win when you are playing with some players who are not your regular starters, with a system that you are trying brand new.

Just like everyone else said, this is just a friendly thing, and it's going to be quite difficult to predict what the big nations would do. Sure the opponents are weak, but usually the huge nations do not face with teams like sri lanka neither, maybe a few games like that, but some tough opponents as well. Hence why the results are almost always unknown, and whoever finds a good strategy, they may win.
3017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 30, 2022, 08:25:54 PM
There was a rumor that Jackson Muleka will be transferred to Beşiktaş, who had an excellent performance with Kasımpaşa last season, but Burnley seems to have finished this transfer. Burnley will pay around 5 million Euro for this transfer. Burnley is also interested in midfielder Samuel Bastien of the same team. This transfer is expected to end around 800k Euro. Transferring becomes difficult when English teams step in.
Muleka would be a great transfer for Beşiktaş, would have filled Larin's position. Now it will be necessary to turn to other players. It's very important to make the right transfer in that position. Because after the striker, left wing gives the highest goal contribution.
The 22-year-old Democratic Republic of the Congo striker has been very impressive since he was loaned from Belgium club Standard Liege to Turkish side Kasimpasa. He has scored an impressive 15 goals and providing seven assists. He has been in the radar of both Galatasaray, Besiktas and Trabzonspor  but English Championship outfit Burnley just submitted a £2.5 million bid. The striker should consider coming to England to help Vincent Kompany company’s side gain promotion to the premiership. Even if they fail to be promoted, if he puts up an excellent performance, Muleka might become a target of some big spending premiership clubs maybe after next season.
I mean it makes sense for Burnley to get him. First of all it is just 5 million and that is nothing to a team in EPL, they make more than that with just one of their sponsorship, let alone any other income which will be 10x more than that at the very least. Secondly, this dude had 12 goals and 5 assists in 14 games.

I know that Turkish league is worse than EPL by a big mile, but if that dude could do this there, then even if he has like half of the stats in EPL then they are going to be awesome. Think about it like this, if he plays 30 games, and has 15 goals and like 6 assists all year, wouldn't you consider that as a great transfer made for just 5 million?

3019  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [Short story] How do I use bitcoin as a means of payment! on: June 29, 2022, 05:35:30 PM
Don't get upset OP,  but tbh, your story is not coherent in any way. There is no single relationship between the title of the topic and the body. And there is no conclusion that connects with the introduction.  The title is a question of how to use bitcoin as a means of payment, while the body is explaining how you have already made the payment.
Then if the land seller is a bitcoin personality as you said, why advising him to convert the bitcoin to stable coin? He should be aware of what to do with it.
Well, since your topic said of how you bought land with bitcoin, congratulations for using bitcoin to make a purchase.
Maybe there is only a typo on his title. He supposed to say "did not "do". He isn't the one that is asking but he is only telling his experience of using a bitcoin as a means of payment method. About the part where he gave an advice, I think there is nothing wrong with that. He is just concerned to the seller that his money can go down.

You know the situation right now, where the btc volatility is high while there are btc users that are loyal to their coin and won't ever convert them to any other coin. Selling a huge chunk of btc is not easy but it takes a lot courage especially now that we are in bear where you can feel that you are going to pay more btc's than usual.
3020  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Ignore the dip and Invest in Bitcoin for long term on: June 29, 2022, 02:16:11 PM
Take Bitcoin as a long term investment and just forget it like it’s in a long-term investment account. Don’t let your emotions get too much into it else you might make the wrong decision and sell at the wrong time. The  best thing you can do is to not look at it, even if crypto is going up or down. That’s exactly what I do especially now that it’s dipping, I don’t want to stress over it because I believe if I hold and wait patiently Bitcoin is going to rise again.
 My all time investment strategy is buying more when crypto is dipping, holding and selling back when it increases. In 2020 I bought ethereum when it was $700 and sold when it was $4000 in 2021. Within 2020 and 2021 when the price was going up and down, I decided to ignore the dip and hold on to it till I eventually sold at a good price.
 This is the right time to buy more cryptocurrencies especially Bitcoin because the  more people come into the market and increases their demand for it, its value continues to grow rapidly.
I tried acting like this in the past , I even wonder how to forget about the investment and let it there for at least 3-5 years , but suddenly ? i cannot manage to make it happen because it is hard to deny the fact that when browsing this forum we will be triggered to check the market from time to time so just admit it, we are here to check our valued asset each time and decide what to do after.
and this is why many are turning into losses because of panicking after seeing the market fall badly.
I think checking the market is not the problem, if you are not taking any actions then checking the market is fine. I haven't sold many coins for the past 2-3 years, I mostly bought and stored them on binance and did nothing else. Have I not been here? I have been here for so long that I actually earn enough money from writing here that I can put that into bitcoin and store that as well.

That 50 bucks I earned 2-3 years ago for writing a week? Well, that is now 200 bucks because of how much the price went up. This is how you make money, you buy and you hold, and if you really really need to, sell only a little. As long as you do that, you could always be here, or check the markets.
