Although I don’t think the second goal Manchester United conceded wasn’t Harry maguire’s fault but it’s just funny how he would be in the wrong place and then gave away the own goal.

I believe Manchester United has the game on lock and keys and they were definitely running away with the win until they lost concentration, I also think the Manchester United should win the second leg.
After having historic comeback in this game now Sevilla is having good advantage against Manchester United, and we can't predict about the result as well because now all games are wide open with any team can win from here Manchester United done good job in first half and take lead of 2 - 0, but suddenly they drop this all, and now we are having things tricky with two own goals in last eight minutes give amazing opportunity to the Sevilla which is having one of the best record in UEFA Europa cup history now winning from here is surely not easy for the Manchester United while they never won any game against them in Spain in last two encounters.

Imo, dogecoin are good only for short term investment and not for a huge amount (to prevent funds freezing for a long period). Buy some dogecoin, wait until Elon Musk make something extraordinary towards dogecoin and its prices rises, sell dogecoin, buy again in few months. Repeat that tactics 1-2 times per year. That is the only tactics I see towards dogecoin investment.
He barely does that once in a year or so, and for the most part of a year, dogecoin stays stable or goes sideways and even goes down sometimes if the market crashes, so I doubt if an investor can really get something out of it considering it has got no other element that can make it grow over time except for it to get hyped by Elon or the community sometimes.

I believe one should rather invest their money in something useful which can actually give them some value as time goes by instead of getting stuck with a token that is totally dependent on a celebrity at this point.

Sunrise Hyderabad will face Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL today at Eden Gardens. So far Kolkata Knight Riders are in a good position in the points table but Sunrise Hyderabad are far behind. Hyderabad played three matches and won only one. And Kolkata played three matches winning two matches and losing one match. 

Today's match will undoubtedly be a tough one for Sunrise Hyderabad as today's game will be played at the Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata. Whereas Kolkata's record is very good. And Eden Gardens is home to Kolkata. So Kolkata will undoubtedly be ahead in this match. 
Kolkata Knight Riders have certainly had the upper hand over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their head-to-head match-ups. Stats shows that Kolkata Knight Riders have consistently outperformed Sunrisers Hyderabad. As the hosts, it's very likely Kolkata Knight Riders will once again dominate and continue their impressive record against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Right now, KKR is doing impressive in early rounds of this season and with their performance we can hope they will be in top four now with the arrival of Roy and Littan Das things are looking better because their batting is now having better depth with Gurbaz is already doing amazing but still they need to work on their bowling because this is the weakest point for them in this series, and they need to work on this after losing against PBK in first game they have done good job and have two wins against RCB and Titans so today most chances they will be winner but SRH which lost their first two matches and now have first won in last match against PBK with this we can expect some tough resistance from them in this match even most chances KKR will win.

Sevilla are currently safely in thirteenth place with 32 points and yes they have five point gap from the teams in relegation zone for awhile. It is also possibility they will not return to that zone, because Sevilla should be able to do it in their remaining 10 matches of this season, but unfortunately Sevilla did not get any tickets for next season.

Yes that's right, Valencia now in the remaining matches of this season will be very tough because they are in that zone, their battle on matchday 29 will also be tough against Sevilla which is currently has a better performance rather than Valencia.
This season is miserable for few teams in La Liga with few are now having improved performance but Valencia and Sevilla are still in danger zone and trying to survive for better future with Sevilla is now having 32 points which are giving them better zone but Valencia which is still at bottom and have difficult time for winning games even at home needs to improve otherwise we can expect them down and out from La Liga in next season.

Quality difference is widening between teams with finances are also main problem for many teams which are lacking quality players, so hopefully things could be better if they are able to stay in La Liga because these teams having rich history in La Liga, and they can improve their quality in coming weeks which will allow them for better results.
345  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which is currently the best crypto to invest in? on: April 13, 2023, 07:09:09 PM
I think we shouldn’t debate much about this topic. We all know and agree that Bitcoins are the best coin possible to invest. At least it’s the best for long term trading and investment. The reason is pretty simple, we have seen what Bitcoins are capable of for the past 10+ years. Bitcoins have the largest marketcap and very much popular among the masses. Moreover the limited amount of Bitcoins makes the coin more valuable and hence you will definitely expected to get returns when the demand for the coin will increase. Now the choice is yours. Use your brain and choose wisely.
Interestingly, not that many people agree on that somehow. There are some people who are so passionate about some of the coins and tokens out there that they think it will pass above even bitcoin. I have no idea what makes them think that but I have seen plenty of them. ETH is the only one that remotely makes sense which I still think won't happen but I can understand why one may think it could, yet there are people who think coins which are even out of top 10-20 range, could end up being above bitcoin in the future.

We should all realize that it's not going to happen and Bitcoin is the best coin and we should be doing fine for sure, I know it's not going to end up being easy, but that's how we should approach it.
Those people have absolutely no idea how the market works and let them be. Why* Because even though they are thinking about something that will never happen, they are at least putting their money in the crypto world and that is what we need, yes it is not a profitable situation for us at the moment and yes we would rather have a situation where we can make a profit from it instead of any of this, but that doesn't mean that we are not going to have any type of profit from it at all.

So, let them invest into crypto, let them think whatever they want to think and just invest, if they do that and not keep their money in the fiat world that means it's a benefit to us and we need to promote that type of action.

Benzema is unlikely to move to MLS or Saudi Pro League in the near future. He still can play quite well, he should have good motivation to stay in the top league in Europa. Although he wants to leave Real Madrid, I am sure he will move to a big team, too. He may move to another league, may be in EPL or Serie A. I guess he will move to Serie A if he wants to leave Real Madrid. He seems very appropriate to be AC Milan striker or Inter Milan striker.  Grin
Benzema's contract at Real Madrid will expire soon next summer. So far, there are indeed many Saudi Arabian clubs who want to propose to this quality player. However, bringing in a Benzema is not easy, and on the other hand, Benzema has said that he has never thought of having a career in the Arab league.
There are several rumors that I have, if indeed at the end of the season Benzema does not renew his contract with Real Madrid. Benzema's first destination is likely to move to Manchester City, because reportedly he is interested in becoming one of The Citizens who is performing well under Pep Guardiola.
Right now, Benzema is 35 years old, and his contract is going to end June 2024 mean he could be 36 year and 6 months old which mean he has still few years, but his injury's problem is also serious which will play a vital role for his future in soccer with most chances he can move to Saudi Professional League or MLS both possibilities are available right now but as we all know things can change any time specially player which is having good reputation and good name in his team and as few mentioning he has desire to player under Pep Guardiola in Manchester city I have feeling this is just rumoured, and we have no reality in this all with at the age of 36 they will not think about him to join their team instead they will try to bring some better and quality player which will have better future here in Manchester City.
347  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Thought On Gambling Strategies on: April 13, 2023, 09:48:45 AM
I think people don't understand that there is no strategy in gambling. Gamble but consider your spendings on it as an entertainment expense. Got luck on your side and won? Good. If you don't you still had fun.
Gambling is never a parade of skills but literally it’s more on luck, and so even if you have the best strategies to gamble, that won’t guarantee profits as gambling is still mostly dependent on luck. However, if you have the luck and great working strategies altogether, I think profiting ahead is clear enough. But if you have strategies alone, that won’t make you easily profit in gambling. So gamble for fun, and not for profits.
Gambling isn't always just about luck, and it also entirely depends on what kind of gambling one's doing.  There are plenty of types of gambling games where skill is critical, and knowing what you're doing is 50% of the battle, making luck simply not enough.  Black Jack for example is in large part a game of skill.  I would argue the same for Poker. Of course there are games like roulette which are largely luck, but even that game requires skill.
Black Jack is not entirely a game of skill as the cards that you get will determine the level of your luck, I know there is a strategy called card counting for Black Jack but it isn't something that everyone can do nor it's so easy to determine how you can win a game. It might even be a working strategy if you are gambling at a land-based casino, but in online casinos, the game is totally based on your luck.

Poker is arguably a game of skill, I agree with that. But apart from that, except for sports betting, all gambling games are mainly based on one's luck and whether a person will win or lose depends on their luck.
348  Economy / Economics / Re: Why is money ruling the world? on: April 13, 2023, 05:38:15 AM
Believe on something and you'd achieve it eventually. But to think on a more practical way, money is really necessary. Let's day you want to start a business, then a capital must come first. You are hired in a good company, you need money to sustain you with your first month and not to mention your application period and other necessities.Taking one step at a time is indeed right but in every step, unfortunately, money plays a key role nowadays; just think of how expensive living is, today. No matter how we want to set aside monetary factors, it is just the present situation which would tangle money with our lives. This is how powerful these pieces of paper are. If you have the privilege to not stress out about it then that is better but we cannot bend the fact that not all people have that kind of state.
That's right, and that is the actual reason why money is ruling the world. Someone who has money is always superior to the ones who don't have it, it's a simple and clear-cut fact that we witness in our everyday lives. Money has the power to do almost anything in the practical world which has something to do with the world and not stuff that isn't in control of humans.

No matter how much one convinces themselves that money is not everything and one can easily live without it, sure, you can live your life even if you don't have too much but you will always envy the lives of those who are rich if you see them, and that is only because of money.
349  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: What happens If Binance Exchange Flee Away like FTX on: April 12, 2023, 08:15:06 PM
A lot of people will lose their funds. We will see an extreme dump in the market. People will sell their crypto, and we will see panic. People may think other exchanges will do the same since exchanges like Binance are dumped. But, after a few months (It may take over a year or so), Bitcoin will recover and be there where it was.

We may see a massive crash. If you look at the "Coinmarketcap" trading volume chart. 99% of the trading volume is from centralized exchanges. Binance becomes a whale in the centralized exchange market. Other businesses like Coinbase and Kucoin will likely get new users. The users shouldn't have much problem if they don't hold their funds in their Exchange account. But, Surely most of us do. The sad reality is, We suggest others not to have their funds on an exchange, but we don't follow what we say.
People who do day trading are compelled to keep the part of their capital that they use to buy and sell coins on a daily basis, and it doesn't really make any sense to pay fees back and forth everyday only to withdraw and deposit your trading capital only because of the fear that the exchange can collapse anytime, one should either use a decentralized exchange or just live with it.

And to be honest, most people prefer living with that. I would probably not pay fees two times a day only to get my funds in my exchange wallet for trading and then back to my non-custodial wallet for being safe from exploits. That's a lot of fees and a lot of work too.
350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 12, 2023, 01:52:50 PM
I'm not sure gamblers will agree to the government's plan to upload responsible gambler certificates especially gamblers who usually play in crypto casinos, because it has crossed the boundaries of crypto casinos. Those crypto gamblers will probably move on to other crypto casinos that don't ask for those certificates.

But if the certificate is for a gambler who has lost a lot of money, maybe the certificate can become necessary because the casino doesn't want to be blamed by anyone. Apart from that, the government also supervises casinos, so the casinos are just trying to carry out the rules.
I don't think that a casino would really care if someone blames them for the loss of a gambler since everyone understands that casinos are a business and they are not going to close down their platforms only because someone has lost a significant amount of money with them, it's a user's responsibility to manage their finances.

It is like someone going to a shop, buying something, go break it, and then blaming the shop owner for taking their money. Casinos may provide you the platform to gamble but it is not them who make you gamble.
351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Roshtein fake money streamer or not? on: April 12, 2023, 08:09:00 AM
I am a follower of Roshtein. From my perspective, I can say that he is a genius at his craft. I actually want to see more of him streaming. So I know the fact that there are various deals between casino and the streamer. Regardless, based from my conclusion everytime I watch his streams, I believe that the money that he is spending to play on Stake came from his own pocket.

I know it is hard to believe it. In my case, at first I did not believed that it is a "real" money, but then later on, I am convinced that the money is not fake.  You can see how genuine his reactions are and how he behave on his next day stream almost everytime he had a big loss from his previous stream(s).

This guy, Roshtein, is different from other streamers.
You can't judge a content creator based on his reactions and how he behaves on stream, they know their work and they are pretty good at acting as well. If you are convinced that he uses his own money only because his reactions look genuine then you might have been convinced due to his acting. I'm not putting any blame on anyone, but that is what happens mostly.

Even if the streamers are using real money, that money is most probably sponsored by the casino itself since it is a pure promotion for them since there are thousands of people watching the stream and a lot of people follow that as well.
352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rigged Game on: April 12, 2023, 06:41:15 AM
There are many problems that are affecting online casinos either due to been illegal operations or fraud cases like

Fake Advert, Payment Problems, Spamming Gamblers etc

But one comes in mind that I can't get rid of, those that Rigged their games, I don't know if people actually know that some online casinos Rigged their games, like the Aztec casino that was labeled a scam casino for example.

My question is how can one know that their game is rigged? If you play over 20 games and you lose it all, no one will believe you if you say that their is something wrong with the platform because truthfully as a gambler you have to lose, so what way can you actually know that a casino game is been rigged?
I am among the few who doesn't know that casinos rig their games though, it'll be good if you don't mention names next time especially if you do not have enough prove at your disposal.
Are you really that naive not to know that scam platforms can literally do anything to get more money out of their users? Rigging games is one of their tactics which is also one of the easiest ones considering the fact that everyone knows that gambling is a thing where you can lose more than win so there are fewer chances of people noticing that.

Those who understand such things simply avoid gambling with platforms that are not providing a provably-fair system for all their games and bets, and those who don't know this thing will simply keep getting scammed.
353  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: 5 Things I've learned day trading Bitcoin for 3 years (successfully) on: April 11, 2023, 09:08:45 PM
Trading doesn't only mean to sell for profits but when we buy a coin at the dip, that can also be called as trading. This is where I disagree with him when he said that never trade against the market. I like how you use art to compare it with trading but indeed art isn't only limited to drawing and painting but there are lots of things or activities where it can be treated like an art.

Like you said each must have their own method, that is true and that is why some are trading even if the market is in the opposite direction. They have strategies like selling at a loss and then buying a coin again but they also know how to take advantage of the pump. They are just showing how versatile they are.
Good traders don't actually sell at loss to buy again but they always set stop-loss with all their trades so that they don't lose much value from what they have invested in a particular coin or token, that way, they won't have to wait for the market to go up again so that their money is unfrozen from the previous trade.

That strategy is the best but only if you have a pretty large capital and you should be confident that the money you've lost with the stop-loss will be easily recovered with the next couple of trades that you make.
354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 11, 2023, 05:00:05 PM
I think judging what you say that I also agree and the only coach who can make them win the Champions League for me is Carlo Ancelotti.He has done well in every team he has managed,even in CSKA Moscow for a bit of time when he was training there and brought them on the Champions League several occasions.I think this coach can do wonders with a team like Paris and their superstar players,I am sure the experience he has would come in great help to Paris in trying to win the Champions League.For this to happen though Paris should pay him a huge amount of money so that he can accept the job and bring Paris to new levels in International competitions.
Even your statement is strong enough but we still need some more things which can bring better results for the teams like as few have few suggestions in above posts we need better midfield and defence as well here in PSG they recruited the best strikers in world, but their midfield is not good as they need to be which is surely problem with as things going we can expect good changes with new coach is also under radar, but nothing is perfect who is coming with Carlos Ancelotti is at Real Madrid and his contract is going to end June 2024 with Brazil and few others are strong candidates for hiring his services but if PSG able to take him then surely we can expect better results because he can bring good winning unit and better things for this team in long run.
355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Skill Based Slot Machines on: April 11, 2023, 09:50:43 AM
I play slot because of its randomness, it unpredictability. And purely because of it's luck factor. I am consider myself as a luck person so some extent. Skill based slots sounds boring and like a lot of work to me. As an oldie, II am not going to change my ways because if you consider it critically, you would see that traditional slots wins at the end of the day.
This is what I also think. Slot machines should always be a game of luck which is based on unpredictable nature. Also, I think casinos would be in the middle since there has been some market of these skill based machines but I think majority of people engaging in gambling would prefer the traditional way of gambling that is unpredictable. It could also be intimidating to some since it would require more game mechanics rather than the simpler way of traditional slot machines. But it is a great concept to think since there would be way to increase your chances of winning through these skill based slot machines. It might not be for everyone but it has potential to attract some customers since even me is intrigued on these new concepts regarding slot machines.
I think almost every single player that plays at slots machines would like the traditional features of a slot where you make a spin and wait to see what your luck has brought you and the joy of getting a big win or hitting a very high multiplier takes you to a totally different world, but honestly, I don't mind having another feature in a game where I can multiply my chances of winning.

I mean, what's wrong with a slot machine with all its traditional features but having an extra layer of fun as a bonus round that requires you to showcase your skills and get more chances or spins or whatever it has got to offer?
356  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy in casinos on: April 11, 2023, 06:05:38 AM

Martingale is not a strategy, to begin with. It's more of a betting method. Let's also take note that casino games are more luck-based games. Regardless of any applied strategies, losing is more likely to happen in the long-run, honestly, even in the short-run.

The best thing to when dealing in a casino games is, put up a strategy that will make our bankroll last for long.

If winning big, learn to take a break. If losing big, also learn to take a break. Discipline is the key.
What else would you call a strategy in gambling? Betting methods are actually the strategies in gambling since you are the one who would decide how to bet and how to spread your capital into how many games and game sessions and how to manage your bankroll for different games, etc. That is how it works in gambling.

You are right that gambling is all about luck, and to be able to win anything out of it, one must be very lucky, and if one is destined to lose, no strategy can really change that and even if he manages to recover losses at first, the eventual results will be in loss.

Man, I don't know about you guys but this AI of ChatGPT kinda crreps me out with this response. The way the message is being delivered, it's like you're really getting answers from a real person! But then again, AIs that give good reasoning never fails to creep me out, lol. The contents of this AI's response to OP though is probably something that a lot of us has already been speculating, and even we don't trust our own deductions that much, haha. Anyway, a great response for an AI but not something that I or anyone rational enough would bank on.
You probably didn't see GPT-4 in use yet, because this is just an older version with data that it has been trained on ranging only until 2021, and the responses it generates are generally combined knowledge and information from the data that it has in its database. Honestly, there is nothing so special in the response that ChatGPT has provided for this prompt.

If one uses GPT-4, it can provide more accurate and believable responses but since it isn't free, most of the general public doesn't have access to it, and they only use the older version which is also good but not as good as the newest version.
358  Economy / Economics / Re: Elon Musk and others urge AI pause, citing 'risks to society' on: April 10, 2023, 07:09:43 PM
No one is saying that AI development should be stopped. Elon Musk is trying to draw the attention of mankind to the threat that AI poses to people if it continues to develop uncontrollably. You must first take measures to eliminate the risk of harm to a person and constantly keep it under control.
In Musk's address, there are four main questions that humanity should ask itself:

• "Should we allow machines to flood our information channels with propaganda and lies?"
• "Should we let machines do all the work, including that which brings people pleasure?"
• "Should we develop a mind of non-human origin, which in the future may surpass us in numbers and intellectual abilities, make us inferior and replace us?"
• "Should we risk losing control of our civilization?"

In my opinion, the answer is obvious. Humanity is not worth the risk. After all, all previous human civilizations on our planet disappeared precisely because of the development of technological progress.
There are people who are scared and already been affected by the AI and these people are now wishing for it to stop but for some who are benefiting with it, they want it to continue and see more developments. Lies are only a bad thing so this must be prevented. It's also wrong to let all the machines do the work because they are not perfect and what if there will be errors that will be experienced? That can cause a lot of troubles.

AIs can't totally replace us humans because we still control them and we can stop them anytime. Lastly, Previous civilizations have disappeared for other reasons and not because of the technology and there are still no AIs that time.

That is a good mindset to have about casinos but there's no need to consider if someone became a millionaire in that casino when that's just their way of promoting the casino.
we could not tell mate if that is about promotion or they are truly winners that only wanted to attract other gamblers to understand that gambling can bring this good? or can bring this bad.
but of course mostly is for promotion that sometimes turns about a shill for that said casinos.
The only way to know if the winner is not related to casino is if you know them personally and you can ask them if what is the truth. You will also know it if their lifestyle have suddenly change from simple to luxurious but majority of them are only doing it to entice the people to gamble on that same casino.

People must be wise enough to have a control and don't chase the same thing because it was hard and can cost them huge money in the process. Not all casino that we knew, already have all the good features listed by the OP but if it's possible that they have it all, why will you still look forward for the bad features? That's strange.

We have a king here. Everyone bow to Rinku Singh, 30 runs in the last over playing at the largest stadium of the country, with just 3 wickets left. I think this is Insane. Some could say it's fixed but I would say this is impossible even if the complete match is fixed. Even in fixed Match it's almost impossible to hit 5 sixes on last 5 balls of the match. This was like stealing away the match from mouth of Gujarat Titans.
This match was surely not fixed. Fixed matches do not take the risk of going too narrow where you need 5 sixes in the last 5 balls.
Yes, I know matches win when you need 6 of the last ball, but I don't remember that I have ever seen such a match where you need 5 sixes in last 5 balls, and yet the team chasing wins the match.

We were all complaining we are witnessing one-sided matches in IPL, this match gives answers to all of us  Smiley

Anyways I missed watching this match live but will surely watch the highlights.
Seriously, I watched until the 16th over in the first innings, and then when I checked that the target is 205, I thought KKR is going to lose. Then, I checked again when KKR was batting, and there were 12 balls remaining with 42 runs required to win with only 3 wickets in hand, I think, and I didn't watch it and thought KKR have definitely lost this match since there is no chance.

But, I was surprised when I saw that they have won the match by 3 wickets in the last ball of the match. Now I regret not watching the last 2 overs since it was such a thrilling finish, I will definitely watch the full match highlights.
