Yep and Ajax could use him very well. Now they have to put Tadic on his place which he did very well in the Champions Leguae few seasons back but he doesn't got that good shape anymore.

In the Netherlands PSV was the last club who forgot to put a important player on the list. Back then the forgot to put Van Nistelrooy on the list and they lost directly the next round.

So it seems like this incompetency is very common in Dutch clubs? Are they maybe always too stoned to be thinking straight?Wink I mean, you usually hear of these types of mistakes in lower leagues. Asian Federation also has a LOT of mistakes with team selections and eligibilities. Name typos also very very common!

It requires bounty hunters to work harder, and even many bounty hunters who follow almost all bounties projects expect from so many
 that some are paying fairly and honestly, even very lucky if anyone pays big, although almost none at the moment.
But sometimes everything we do becomes futile, when the project is unwilling to pay participants for many reasons. It’s a risk to be a bounty hunter.

Bounty hunters working harder? That is a strange thing to hear about;) Projects are paying peanuts for work that is peanuts,,, so that sounds fair to me. I mean, majority bounty activities are RT and repost and copy paste.

What is the hard work about that? No offense but even many hunters I knew admit it.

Elan Musk posted a post on Twitter .Doge coins have started to rise at a rapid pace.The current pump was an inactivated pump and many people have benefited from it and many have become losers.So it is better to know and understand the investment.

This is the John McAfee effect now happening to Elon Musk. But you all remember what eventually happened to Mcafee right,,, his Tweets stopped becoming effective and people got disgusted after they got burned by his Tweets.

Many losers now from WSB and Doge so watch out.

There used to be a site just on dice, and you would get a screen of 5 dice, but with 10 sides, so it would roll and each would set a digit from 1 to 10, and in that order, that was the result you would get. Problem? Too slow for me:)

I think there has been a discussion before about making realistic dice that is also very fast but in the end people want to roll 1 million per hour;)
3285  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 05, 2021, 06:57:10 AM
I still say this is all the jinxing caused by all the pundits saying how good we looked earlier in the season. Same as what happened when Arsenal sat at the top at the start of the league. It is like as soon as everyone says how good a club is, it seems to fall. So in that spirit,,,  Manchester City look so good and they are now serious favorites to win it right?

Been saying for some time now that Brighton plays much better than their place on the table and that luck will get on their side sooner or later. While getting some points against Spurs without Kane on home turf was sort of expected I never thought they will take full spoils from Anfield.

Correct,,, give credit where it is due Brighton are improving their football a lot.

Just like what leea-1334 above me said, just choose an alternative site in which it operates to your place legally. Unless it's really not allowed by your government and it would be harder to do that or you might get fined or something. It's better to be safe than sorry. You will never know.

Most of the things that I have read in some betting sites is that they weren't able to withdraw their winnings because of the Terms of Service being violated which is valid in their part.

What I think about your situation is it's about registering again. Even though you have registered before, your info is in a country that's not allowed. Probably another account? But this might violate another rule again. Take care OP.

I think many of us are aware of the rules of our country but we also know that enforcement is quite lax. If I and many thousands of players at this forum obey the laws of our country with digital currency we would not even be allowed to own any crypto.

BUT I agree, be as safe as possible and if a platform does not accept your nationality,,, no need for to push the issue and move on to another one. Many of the sites on this forum with ANN thread allow your country, if you just check.
3287  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Crypto Lending Thoughts? on: February 04, 2021, 01:13:33 PM
Another comment I'd like to add, if anyone remembers p2p lending (it used to be big in 2016 right even with crypto), how widespread it was and especially in China. Solid business model and also overcollateralized. But it all failed, bad asset management and poor collection on money/interest owed.

Wondering why the same won't happen to crypto lending actually.

Just saw your post from last week,,, I definitely remember p2p lending. At one point before the 2017 crypto rally Wall Street had a famous p2p lender crash, and actually China also closed down THOUSANDS of p2p sites. In fact, I remember at faucet sites many of the ads was for p2p lending in Bitcoin.

In theory a great way to make passive income. But in practicality, too many risks of default because people lend to people who find a way to take advantage.

Liverpool fans, do not worry. We also got beaten by the same team. I know it is not a comfort but sometimes it is "easier" to win against teams that really do try to attack more and not to discredit teams like Brighton but they know who they are and play to their advantage,,, Basically, Liverpool finally got Manchester City'd last season:)
3289  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Decentralized Finance vs Traditional Finance on: February 04, 2021, 11:15:32 AM
In my opinion there are two factors that made traditional finance so dominant over the last 50 years, knowledge and labour. Both of these two factors were fully controlled by big banks in the past. However, due the Internet and strong computers being available for almost anybody this is not the case anymore. As long as you have access to the Internet you can get the knowledge to do your own banking. We are definitely ready for decentralized finance.

Actually also unfair control over the resources of knowledge of labor,,, as you said the monopoly by big banks. It is a bigger system than that. Companies and banks and governments are all interlinked. They have a huge network. You go to school together, you get internships and jobs together, and you end up working together. To go into their circle you must comply.

Internet helped to break this but in the end internet and knowledge now is also controlled by the same circle more and more. Google and Yahoo etc all joined that circle.

Raiola is working with Milan for extending Donnaruma's contract.

Dommaruma is already in Milan for 6 years but he is still 22, he joined when he was 16.

The value of the player is 60m € according to transfermarket and he is a free agent right now.

At one point Manchester United were looking for him. De Gea is a liability and they will surely want to jump in and get him for free,,, offer high wages. That is the kind of guy you feel will either move to Premier League or stay til 30 at Milan. Feel like we also need someone of his caliber at times.
3291  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: The Doge Observer : DOGE / BTC :: DOGE / USDT on: February 04, 2021, 09:10:38 AM
well, doge is the most unpredictable coin (IMO), long time sleeping and hitting ATH just in few hours. I know Doge is the most joke coins with huge community, but the pump few days ago makes a lot of people going rich. Today, Doge look like trying to hitting higher low, with current BTC price, very possible for Doge breaking ATH and create another one.

Not REALLY. Doge has actually proven to always stay in a close range unlike other alts who fall down and never get back up. If you see every cycle of crypto rally,,, doge knows how to climb back up to new ATHs (both usd and btc). The coin that never dies:)

Pump is not going well for it now though but still 4x more than before it started!

3293  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2020/2021 on: February 04, 2021, 07:54:46 AM
Liverpool should forget winning the EPL title this season, imagine just having a single shot on target in Anfield while playing Brighton who are the better team, back to back defeat at Anfield is a clear indication that all is not well with the team despite fielding a relatively strong squad except Mane that was missing, they will host league leader Man City on Sunday another tough match to contend with again.if they lose this match the will drop more points.

I do not want to say too much. I agree they played so badly but well,,, so did Spurs my team who also lost to Brighton in the last match. Brighton shall we also say are playing at peak form but when you look at the team Liverpool are playing with 5th choice CB and do not have Mane, but yes. they had a good enough team to at least create a few shots on goal.
3294  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Request for help from comp sci teacher on: February 04, 2021, 07:18:30 AM
I have a suggestion that instead of using expensive asic miners and all that why not install Bitcoin and start from the beginning? It will not be Bitcoin but at least you can show them how it started. You can even still do that now (mine on actual Bitcoin) just not to earn anything from any computer:)
3295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: ETH high gas fee on: February 03, 2021, 03:37:20 PM
Yes, I think this is going to block ethereum for a while now, and it will go down because people will not be able to make moves since it is too expensive, all people who moved under 20 bucks will stop and many others will slow down or even stop, only people who are talking in huge amounts and desperation will be capable of moving money around.

For a year for sure until they get all the stages of ETH 2.0 fully mature and stable ready for 2022. It is helpful that demand continues to grow even at such high prices. Yesterday during ATH I saw 350 gas fee. Imagine how much that means for a defi contract? $100? I have paid $5 fees recently and still waited over 5 hours!
3296  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🚀 Sportsbet.io - Official betting partner of ARSENAL FC 🚀 on: February 03, 2021, 03:04:14 PM
I deliberately stayed out of yesterday to evaluate how my bets would do and now I'm kinda regretting doing so.

I was going to take singles in order of increasingly larger bets: Arsenal AH+1, Sheffield to win, and ManU win or draw. Only the Arsenal bet would've lost. And to be honest, who would've expected Man United to pelt Southampton (who got two red cards) with goals after that pathetic game with Arsenal last week?  Shocked

I think from what we can see, it is just going to confirm what people have been saying now that the old giants are back in play. Spurs tried so hard many seasons and got close but I think now we are falling away. Southampton Everton even Aston Villa at some point people were saying could be surprises of the season,,, along with Leicester but they showed us also they cannot win, or they can lose big.

City to win. Liverpool maybe and United to go for second place. I guess that seems the most now.
3297  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Altcoin's loss become Bitcoin's gain? on: February 03, 2021, 01:05:29 PM
Getting better at crypto trading doesn't really mean you could go towards altcoins, you could do that of course and it all depends on personal preference but you could also stay in bitcoin but get to much riskier trading. Let's say you are a great trader and rarely ever lose money and make great trades on bitcoin, if you do not want to move to altcoins, you could basically just focus on going to margin trading and high leverages that way you would be capable of actually profiting a lot while still staying in bitcoin.

I am not sure people really can get better at trading to be honest. You can always tweak strategies and learn more,,, but usually the emotional side and discipline is the most important thing to fix and people cannot really do much to change the way they act (risk attitudes for example).

That is usually what gets you in the end!
3298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football betting (betting at the start of the season or later?) on: February 03, 2021, 11:38:08 AM
Does not matter to me for the team I follow, I always bet on them and you as a fan tend to follow everything from pre season so you know their form from friendlies.

But betting on other teams like surprise packages or poor performers,,, that needs you to be patient and see how they play their first few games. Not everybody has the time to watch every single team game though!
3299  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I always return to Bitcoin on: February 03, 2021, 11:01:42 AM
you returned to bitcoin and bitcointalk . your not alone but legends on bitcointalk once leaved to foccus on the outside world but they did also returned after a long years .
bitcoin and bitcointalk was like our parents because we as a kid we want to get wild and explore life but after we fail and knew that we are wrong we eventually go back to our home and to our parents .
other scenario is when we leave btc to invest in altcoins and if we got scammed we will return to btc .

Some have left for good though,,, and I remember in 2018 reading some posts from old guys who permanently left. Some even checked out at $10000. I envied them,,, and I hope it will be my turn to leave when I can check out at $1 million;)

But I guess once bitten you never go away permanently. Perhaps absent from forum but always a Bitcoin user!

That was not even a rally worthy of mentioning. Last year,,, we saw over 60% daily gains two days in a row, and the third day was just positive too,,, at least that seemed to last a while until SEC news came in. This rally shows crypto reddit is not strong enough I guess only small market cap coins can work?
