I think it's good, even if it really happens I make sure everyone will make bitcoin a very promising investment in the future, everyone will buy bitcoin at an expensive price they will want to buy it. So it's a good step to invest in the future..!!

So this achievement you gain by using this forum and using Bitcoin? Very pathetic.
Although Bitcoin can never be fully centralized because more than 90% of Bitcoin has been mined and its spread has increased a lot. If Bitcoin will ever be centralized then can you tell me what is the difference between fiat money and centralized bitcoin? People can't rely on fiat money so look for alternatives so they can keep their assets safe. that's why they are investing in Bitcoin cause it is decentralized and safe heaven to store our assets.

this will be a very interesting thing, especially for the survival of bitcoin

Lol, they are investing in Bitcoin, that's why Bitcoin gains survivability!!
They are investing in Bitcoin because they don't want to miss the opportunity of taking an instant profit. After 12 long years of Bitcoin, they are now realizing that they have no choice but to adopt this technology. Bitcoin reached 19k ATH in 2017 without any kind of such influence, and now that Bitcoin has successfully stabilized at $50k-$60K it is only natural that investors will rush to buy it.

Well, apparently there is another accident just like Bayern, Freiburg was caught on Frankfurt's deception and give them a beating, with 2 - 0 SC Freiburg have lost to Frankfurt,
And Mainz VS Koln end up in a draw, now what's next?
Indeed, this football is really round, sometimes big teams can just lose to a team that is ranked far in the standings. Similar to this guess, maybe many who make predictions like this, especially the match between Augsburg Vs Bayern, of course all will make bets for Bayer, but in fact Augsburg is able to beat Bayern. The same thing happened when Hoffenheim succeeded in defeating the superior team of Leipzig.

These predictions can go south at times. I won't lie. But tell me this, who would have given any chance to Augsburg to win the match against Bayern Munich? And how come a team who beat the elite level teams 5-0,7-1, 8-0, loses to a so inferior team like Augsburg?

Given the previous unlucky matches, this looks like some kind of justice. I hope Roma will take higher positions, in principle, given the fact that both leaders lost, speaking about the championship race, we can say that Roma has improved its position in this round. It is unlikely that a team with 5 defeats can seriously claim the championship, but I hope that Mourinho will shake the nerves of his competitors.
Mourinho can get on nerves of anyone, but this season they will not be able to fight for the Scudetto, a 10-point gap from the leaders is too much, especially for the unstable Roma. For Genoa, the match was very weak, it was Shevchenko debut as head coach and I thought that the players would somehow react to this and play more enthusiastically. But it seems that everything in the team remained unchanged, they did not create practically anything against Roma for the entire match.

Roma absolutely dominated the match. And won really convincingly. Genoa, through the whole 90 minutes has only taken one shot. While their opponent Roma has taken 19. I mean how do you expect to win a football match if you have only one shot on goal? Roma really dominated their opponent.

Don't be so sure because Newzealand is a far better test playing team them a one-day or t20 team. Don't forget that Newzealand is the test cricket champion of the world. So I think India has their work cut out in the test matches.
New Zealand had won the title of world test championship by beating India. And India has lost the last three test match against New Zealand. However, the situation is different at this moment and India plays better in their home condition. Betting odds is in favour of India. On the other hand, West Indies is struggling against Sri Lanka. Seems like they will go through follow on and loss this game.

As India has lost in the past against New Zealand I think this time they will get their revenge. Judging by the conditions I don't think that India will lose this time.
And in West Indies versus Sri Lanka, West Indies are still trailing by 273 runs at the end of day 2. I think the west indies will have a hard time coming back in this match.

There is a lot of news circulating that aguero will retire early after he has problems with his heart right now, but as @Luzin said of course we should also wait for an official confirmation from aguero regarding this issue, but if it is true that aguero will retire of course it is quite unfortunate because currently Barcelona are still really need aguero as a replacement for messi.
I already mentioned that in one of my previous posts. Aguero had a chest pain in his last played game and was forced to leave the match earlier. He underwent medical checkup and he has apparently a problem that will make him at risk if he continues to play, so there was a rumour that he will annonce his retirement next week. Meanwhile one of Barca staff said that he will not retire.
Until an official announcement we will keep hearing rumours.

Yes, I saw the news a couple of days back that Kun Aguero had a heart attack while playing a match and he has to retire. Not be able to play football ever again. Currently, he is under medical treatment and recovering from that accident. So far no official announcement has been published from any trusted source.

Wait, why should the cricketers be punished because of some terrorists? I cannot and absolutely will not agree with this statement of yours. And tell me this why does finding the cricket team gives legitimacy to The terrorists? Everyone is not a terrorist Undecided.
I'm not in favor of any kind of ban-politics of ICC in cricket, if any country wants to boycott Afghanistan team due to regime change then they can do this in bilateral level, its their right to do so. However counter argument to your comment would be. What was the South African players fault when they faced a ban from the ICC due to racial tension in their country? What was Zimbabwean cricketer's fault when their government tried to take complete control of their cricket?

That is actually true and for some reason, I think some rules in ICC are just shit. Just like the Duckworth Lewis rules. I don't think any team should be banned unless there are some serious crimes or something like that.

Am a spurs fan, I honestly like the reputation Antonio Conte has created in the Italian Seria A, everybody likes him everyone rates him an good players want to play for him not only the Italians, I likes the players spurs are going for since he came to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium not the usual average players,spurs have been link with top players like vlahovic,De vrig, skrinnar, belloti these are players that can make a difference, and I still think if Kane goes (to Manchester City) martinez will force his way to spurs since Conte is there.
Hello fellow Spurs fan, I had not much idea about who Conte was to be honest but I stayed up late to watch a big of the match yesterday and I saw Conte constantly getting our rather quiet fans to sing more loudly,,, that stadium I think has a slight problem of being too big and too quiet Smiley
But yes I liked what I saw and I read also about interest in Vlahovic and others but I feel like he needs to get the most out of Moura and Son and Kane and,,, Alli of course Smiley

I think that Conte has good enough players in his squad right now and does not need to worry about his squad being stronger at the moment. Instead of thinking about transfers, he should back his players up for better performance. And to be honest I think the squad he has right now can achieve wonders if managed right.

Glad to see the Pandya brothers not being included in the current squad since they have been given way too many chances recently which they didn't make use of properly majority of the time.

Harshal Patel and Axar Patel keep taking wickets regularly just like in the IPL. NZ got destroyed by India and I am expecting them to come back strong in the test series. Exciting stuff!
Yes this series was totally one sided and India won it with ease. It was a clean sweep and a dominating performance by india. And in the last match India has won defending tbe target not chasing the target to that proofs matches are not only dependent upon toss. india has really done well in the series and players like harshal patel and aksar patel have done really well.

Yes, credit to India because they played for better than they did in the world cup. But I am interested to see what India can produce in overseas situations. India is always good in their home condition so I think it is time for them to test themselves in a tough situation.
3670  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: November 22, 2021, 02:34:23 PM
I don't want to divert the debate from UEFA, but there is only one confederation that is more competitive compared to them and it is CONMEBOL. It is very unfortunate that quality teams like Ecuador, Paraguay, Bolivia and Venezuela struggle to qualify for the world cup, because there are only limited slots allotted to CONMEBOL. If they were participating from any other confederation, then in all probability most of these teams would qualify easily. For example, Venezuela has never played in a FIFA World Cup to this date.
True, but at the same time if only the strength of the teams mattered then most likely we would end up with a ‘World Cup’ that included only teams from Europe and South America which by definition it will not be a World Cup, so FIFA has to limit the spots those two zones get so the rest of the world can send some teams to represent their confederations and their continent, so unfortunately it is something inevitable that some good teams will be left out of the competition because of this.

Actually, when I think about this it makes a lot of sense now because while selecting certain teams from a certain region a lot of good teams can be there but the better teams can only qualify for the World Cup. It is sad to see some so good teams with a lot of potential being left out but as you said it is kind of inevitable.
3671  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: November 22, 2021, 12:43:57 PM
Anyone excited about the NZ tour test matches of India?
Since the 3 match T20I dominated completely by the Indian team even though the big names are missing still you expect the same thing to happen so this is some kind of revenge for what happened in T20 world cup super12.  Cheesy

Don't be so sure because Newzealand is a far better test playing team them a one-day or t20 team. Don't forget that Newzealand is the test cricket champion of the world. So I think India has their work cut out in the test matches.

today we have some very interesting games:
~
Inter  -  Napoli
well this game could end in a draw, i'll wait for the first few minutes to place a bet
Genoa -  Roma
Rome is unstable, it wouldn't surprise me if they lost today

Waiting to see Inter vs Napoli,
I am really interested to see the inter vs Napoli match. I think this match will be really close and both teams will give their opponents a hard time. Already placed my bet on FC Inter Milano with 2.23 odds  Wink.
Genoa vs Roma I think ok that Roma is a better team and should win.

Don't judge Rohit Sharma captaincy skills just on basis of two T20 matches and remember even Pandya as captain can lead and win India at home, so there is nothing to celebrate about. Kohli is Indian most successful Test captain and he is removed from captaincy just on basis of T20 WC which in my opinion is not fair.

Pandya as the captain? LOL.. that is an interesting suggestion. But first he need to cement his place within the team. With Kohli's influence on the team selection waning, I am not sure whether it will be easy for him to get a slot. There are promising pace bowling all rounders like Venkatesh Iyer who deserves a slot much more than Hardik. But I agree with you on Rohit. We need to see his performances in countries like New Zealand, England and Australia. What made Kohli different was his capability to win matches abroad.

I think any team should give their players enough time to play before sitting them on the bench. Hardik Pandya has proved himself before multiple times playing for India. But we do need to see players' performance outside India and most importantly outside the subcontinent. And also should be given the time to grow.

Do you think they will give it their all in their league, but for the match against Spartak they will not show their full strength? In principle it is possible, yes, that in the match against Spartak Moscow there will not be the main players, although I see that Spartak can beat a strong team if they want to

Of course, they are at the top of the Serie A standings and it is imperative to maintain that position until the end of the season, as I said before that their opponents in the Europa League are only Spartak Moscow.

Spartak are at the bottom of group c, they've lost motivation and Napoli don't need to put their full strength into it against Spartak.

But I hope this doesn't become a case like Bayern Munich losing to Augsburg. And I do think that it's better safe than sorry. I do believe that Napoli doesn't need therefore strength against Spartak Moscow considering the form that Napoli is in right now. But they better take this match seriously.

Maybe because Afghanistan is going through a tough time right now? Call of the other countries mentioned have their own cricket board and have their own sponsors. But we all know Afghanistan went to play the T20 world cup depending on the money of Muhammad nabi himself. So I think if any team needs financial support right now it is Afghanistan.

First of all Afghanistan should not be playing international cricket right now. The country is being ruled by a terrorist organization which is regularly committing mass murder and genocide. Allowing them to participate in the ICC tournaments gives some sort of legitimacy to the terror regime there. Teams like Australia have asked the ICC to suspend them, but the BCCI doesn't want that. So forget about the additional funds. They should be happy that they are still receiving some funds from the ICC.

Wait, why should the cricketers be punished because of some terrorists? I cannot and absolutely will not agree with this statement of yours. And tell me this why does finding the cricket team gives legitimacy to The terrorists? Everyone is not a terrorist Undecided.

I think authorities cannot take the chance of spreading covid-19 at any cost. so, I think, I will watch the match without any fans rather than watching the news of some more dead people. It may be unpleasant but you have to endure at the moment.
~

it's become an advantage for barcelona itself though and but the odds for barcelona to win would be lowered due this , too bad i was hoping for barcelona to win as an underdog in this difficult situation against bayern, still the odds would be pretty high .

Barcelona against Bayern Munich is going to be an interesting match Bayern Munich just faced a loss against Augsburg. So they will be really focused in the next match and meanwhile, Barcelona is trying to redeem themselves from all the problems and hard situations. I do think that Bayern Munich is going to win that match.
3677  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2020/21 on: November 20, 2021, 07:36:38 PM
I think xavi will return Barcelona's style of play or gameplay to the way it used to be, because when the style of play or gameplay was changed in such a way by their previous coach, Barcelona seemed to lose its characteristics and strength on the field. So I'm sure with xavi now Barcelona will be like that but for the start, I personally don't expect a lot of goals because I think with xavi being able to give victory in this early match basically that's enough.

It seems to me that in order for the "old" style of Barcelona to be effective, it should only be used with a superstar line-up. In my opinion, tiki taka has already exhausted itself and now any disciplined team can easily resist this style of play (massive defense + quick counterattacks is all that is needed).

I think for tiki taka to work a team needs some really big players in the team who can also understand each other and complement each other. Without death, tiki taka is really hard to make work effectively. But if done well it can be really and dependable at times. But I highly doubt that Xavi is going to you use that style with this team.
3678  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - 2nd Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 20, 2021, 07:26:47 PM
To be honest I find Bundesliga 2 more entertaining that half of the Bundesliga because let's be honest, Bundesliga will kinda be boring every year if we only have 2 teams that can fight for the title...but after 15 games we see that again , only Bayern will fight for the title. Therefore , I prefer to watch some Bundesliga 2 games as my sports channels from Romania are live streaming it 2 games per week.

I personally have a special interest in 2. Bundesliga because in this league it always gives interesting matches such as many goals scored and unexpected comebacks

In week 14 of the 2. Bundesliga we will see a match between Werder Bremen Vs Schalke, They are both currently in the middle of the table, it looks like it will be a match that will produce many goals, what are your predictions?

I think Werder Bremen is going to give a tough competition to Schalke. They are currently e in the 7th and 8th positions. Werder Bremen is in the 8th position and Schalke is just ahead of them. I do think that Schalke is going to win this match but not by a big margin. A draw also seems to be likely in my opinion.
3679  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 20, 2021, 03:38:18 PM
It was a big surprise in the Bundesliga.  In the opening match of the 12th week played yesterday, Augsburg made a big surprise and defeated Bayern Munich 2-1.  If Borussia Dortmund beat Stuttgart, the point difference will decrease to 1.

So Bayern Munich hands 80% of the possession, almost four times of the shot taken more than their opponent almost better in every aspect of the game but lost the match. Ok, I am not going to predict anything anymore from now on I think. I have no idea what is happening sometimes with Bayern Munich who beats the bigger teams by 7 or 8 goals and gets beaten by miniature teams at times.
3680  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: November 20, 2021, 03:36:26 PM

The Lazio - Juventus match is indeed a match that is awaited too but I personally can't expect too much from Juventus, because Lazio so far this season has been perfect in their home matches. So I doubt Juventus will win in this match, a draw for this match is very likely with both teams to score. For Inter - Napoli, I think it's obviously the most difficult game and one can say it's the real big match for this week. Of course Inter will not give up easily even though Napoli are currently at the top of the table, because Inter will still try to win in this home match. Therefore I personally believe that the chance to win is on the home team's side, Napoli in their last match despite playing at home but being held to a draw by Verona and also, when playing away against Roma in fact Napoli could not score there.

Honestly, I will disagree with this because I simply think Juventus is a better team than Lazio. Well even though they haven't played like one but I still have hopes about Juventus that they can come back strongly.
And about inter vs Napoli, I think Napoli should win this match as they have proved themselves multiple times in this season and they are the best team in the league currently.
