Season is interesting for Leverkusen. Focusing on teamwork over stardom may benefit them. Like their performance against stronger clubs, Leverkusen's strength has been their teamwork. This teamwork may make them a competitive force, especially in the European League. We agree on the coach's role. I'm fascinated by Leverkusen's season without star power. Their coach's priorities of team strength and trophies are smart. To play to your strengths, Leverkusen seems to be doing that
Biggest strength of Leverkusen is from team working because they don't have star players. Some of their players will become star players but for now, they are not. Together by playing and supporting each other, they are making a strong team and seriously challenging Bayern Munich for Bundesliga title.

Winning it or not, the past season and this one will help many players in Leverkusen find a bigger club in next one or two seasons. They will not stay in Leverkusen for too long and some of them will possibly move to Bayern Munich. This is a perfect season for Leverkusen to win Bundesliga before losing their best players. In Germany and Bundesliga, Bayern Munich don't stay quiet if competitors beat them. Dortmund is example, years ago they won Bundesliga but lost Gotze, Lewandowski, Hummels to Bayern Munich and also lost their strength.

Sweet home livecasino! After a long hiatus on gambling activity, I manage to get a sweet 500$ win on Blackjack after getting a solid perfect pair bet. I really miss playing on this casino that’s why I give a shot to play again after seeing promotional email yesterday.


You got a big win as I saw from the screenshot, deposit $641 and won $500 to withdraw more than $1000. It is not big like winning a lottery ticket but it's good enough. $500 is a good money to enjoy with your bet.

Could you share you win it after betting some rounds or just your first bet after that deposit?

Because I saw you deposited and withdrawn on a same day so I guess there were not too many bet from that deposit.
383  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 05, 2024, 09:55:49 AM
That was a really poor performance from Juventus and I think by this they have lost their chances of possibly been the winners of the Italian serie A this season and they are most likely not going to have that Chance to get to the to even if it's just four points away because inter Milan isn't slack about the serie  A title this season.
Juventus bet all in Serie A this season and in this match as well but they are simply weaker than Inter Milan, at least in this direct match. With this defeat, Juventus are in a similar situation like Al Nassr of Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Professional League. They began to be led very far by a first team that are dominating the league.

Juventus will have to try and wait for Inter Milan's bad results but honestly with Inter Milan's domination in Serie A, I am unsure when they will lose points and give some other chances to Juventus.

Quote
Juventus in their performance appeared too careful trying to defend their selves from conceding more goals after the first goal scored by their opponent in the first half but then it was really not a good one they put up such performance for a team hoping to be the champions by the end of the season but then if by the time the champions league round of sixteen starts and inter Milan seems distracted and possibly drop points, at that instance, Juventus could take advantage and be able try if they can possibly win the trophy by the end of the season.
Juventus only can hope that Inter Milan will have like 3 or 4 matches in Serie A with lack of concentration because of two matches against Atletico Madrid in Round of 16 of Champions League. They must have good performances from their side, get good results and wait but if they play bad, get bad results, it seems they will see Scudetto farther and farther till a point like unreachable.

What I wonder here is those fake profiles got a verified status on Twitter sometimes its gold check. Damn even newbie could fall or professional if they dont check such group real account. Elon Musk should do something about this as those scammers are draining peoples wallet.  They should track and monitor those scammers account and flagged them or have tagged as scammers migrating from account to account. They are so hard working to imitate account and try to do a scam post when something important gets announced like airdrop.
Blue check or gold check with very little followers is not signal of a trusted account on X. Newbies must pay attention on accounts that has numbers like Elonmusk1, Elonmusk2, it is very good signal of potential fake and scam accounts on X.

In addition, after see the account name, let's check account registration date and total followers. If registration date is new, another signal. If total followers is low, another signal. If followers are high, check more with Twitter Audit scores.

I can only suggest that manchester united fans to urge united to sack ten hag then replace him with rod edwards. he was coming to luton at the end of last year but he made so many changes in the club. Im seeing that if rob edwards is much more capable to be united's coach.

Luton is kinda different after rob edwards has been signed as a new coach for luton last season. He had been doing some rotations. It's working perfectly to strengthen luton. Dob edwards did some magic to the luton.  Cheesy
Manchester United must find a coach who can help them to build up a squad from young players and with long term plan. If they continue to aim at short term success, their squad will continue to be unsustainable and they will have to spend more money on transfer market like last ten years. Spending money is not bad but they must spend money wisely and avoid more failed transfers like Sancho, Antony, De Beek, and other failed transfers recent seasons.

Edwards looks to do great job at Luton but taking a job in Manchester United will give him a very bigger challenge. Manchester United will have to bet that Edwards will succeed with this challenge and again they will take another risky decision.

Manchester United already gave Ten Hag so much support, patience, time and money so if the coach fails to improve the squad's strength, competitiveness and results, he will soon be sacked. Everything has limit and Manchester United will lose their patience for Ten Hag soon.

I have always been pro bitcoin ETF, from many years back where the discussion came from.  I do believe BlackRock is the largest fund company on the planet.  Think about this...so many clients ask their advisors for bitcoin, but when they couldn't make money off of it (like with physical precious metals) they would steer them away.  Now that they can (like precious metal ETFS) they will begin to start being okay with their clients owning some.  Its a game changer.
They spent their resources to fight against SEC. after seeing some positive signals from Grayscale's lawsuit against SEC. They actually did their due diligent research about Bitcoin and its potential to help them gaining more income for their company.

Now, they succeeded with their Bitcoin Spot ETF application and are going to be a biggest Bitcoin institutional investor. With their accumulation rate, they will surpass MicroStrategy in coming months. If we see how MicroStrategy gained profit with their DCA investment in Bitcoin, for their portfolio in Bitcoin and their stock MSTR [1], we will see how BlackRock will get profit from their Bitcoin Spot ETF product.

They will even submit for more derivatives after Bitcoin Spot ETF.

It's a player's decision if he wants to stay in a club or leave, also it depends on his contract signed with the team as well as the teams decision to either keep him or let him go. In PSG, Mbappe is one key man that they don't want to give off yet. Even though his contract is set to expire by summer, they still know he's advantageous and would want to keep him.
Perhaps the player Mbappe even does not know what he wants most, money or titles. If he knows what he wants most, he will have to accept a fact that he will must prioritize one and sacrifice another. Want titles? He can move to Real Madrid but have to accept to reduce his salary a little bit. Want money? He can stay at PSG but must accept a painful fact that chance to win titles like Champions League, personal award like Ballon d'Or will be small.

Quote
For Mbappe, his stay in the team beyond and after the expiration of the contract seems to be dependent on his intentions as well as the teams performance in the long run. Good thing for him that Madrid may not really be interested in him yet until summer so he's got to be a bit patient till then, then maybe, he'd be willing to join the Spanish side.
Real Madrid will make their last bid on Mbappe and if this summer, they fail with their bid, I believe they will move on to other star players and forget Mbappe in their future transfer plans.

Quote
Even though Liverpool were questing for him as well, i do not think they were set to afford that amount for him during this transfer window. Let's just see how next summer would be as regards Mbappe and teams surrounding him.
Premier League looks to be a perfect league for Mbappe with his strength in speedy run but Liverpool with their finance, seem to don't join a competition to give Mbappe very high salary and pay expensive transfer cost for PSG.

391  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Google Updates policy allowing bitcoin and crypto assets trust to be advertised. on: February 02, 2024, 11:10:37 AM
Pretty interesting how these policy lines shift as soon as there's money to be made, since bitcoin ETFs are approved.

I have come to realise that a lot of these companies make decisions that are reflective of the policy climate at the time, without much regard for the greater purpose of the things that they are advertising/serving to people.

At the end of the day profit margins need to be maintained. But either way, this is a positive development for bitcoin.
Google have big business ecosystem and any policy change potentially can affect their business. It is not harmful if they don't accept cryptocurrency because they still can earn money from other products.

If they accept cryptocurrency while legal status is unclear, their business will have potential damage.

Similarly to Google, I believe some big audit companies will soon join cryptocurrency market. The Bitcoin Spot ETF approvals from SEC. are like unofficial announcement that the legal environment for cryptocurrency now has become more friendly and legally in the USA. Top 4 Audit companies will not refuse chances to join this potential industry if they see risk is already eliminated legally.

For example, you used the address of the exchange to receive Ethereum, and if you were credited with tokens, then you could not brand them, since you did not own the keys of this address. Now, if you specify the BTC address from the exchange, then this is also bad, because you can be banned, and the exchange will not give you the keys to such an address.
Centralized exchanges don't give users private keys or mnemonic seeds from which users can get private keys. They only credit public addresses to user accounts and it is different than non custodial wallets.

With non custodial wallets, like you use Metamask wallet to store your ETH, any token on Ethereum blockchain ERC20 will be seen in your wallet, if they were sent to your wallet by project (airdrop), bounty distribution.

If you use a centralized exchange account's public address, you will have to pray that exchange will list the token on their exchange for trading. If they don't list the token, you can not do anything.

Some bounty managers even remind that bounty hunters should not use exchange wallet address for receiving.
393  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Less than 80 days until the 4th Ever #Bitcoin Halving on: February 01, 2024, 08:47:23 AM
True, other people will miss and regret once we are already in the time that most people are waiting for.
Better prepared than nothing, that's why since last year I already expecting this move of Bitcoin before the Bitcoin block halving.
I believe in history and how it comes back so I expect Bitcoin will have not big rise before the halving and even one month after the halving. If it is not because of Bitcoin Spot ETF that was reflected on Bitcoin price in last 5 months, I would expect Bitcoin rises a little bit before the halving but will have a correction like -20% or more around the halving.

For both scenarios, in my thinking, Bitcoin will need like 2 months after its halving to take off. Because people are expecting too much on Bitcoin Spot ETFs, they will receive something oppositely in short term, no big rise at all.

Barcelona remaining 8 points from Girona possibility have gap more than 10 points with Real Madrid will play their postponed match tonight against Getafe, current standings Madrid has 54 points awhile and seems not difficult for defeating Getafe and secure top position standings behind 10 points left from Barcelona.
Barcelona will not be able to beat Real Madrid in La Liga this season because of two reasons, current big 10 point gap, and poor performances of Barcelona compare to excellent form of Real Madrid. Barcelona will even hardly surpass Girona to take the second position but they can hope that Girona will have worse performances in coming months because of lack of experience.

now they have to hear the bad news again that their coach Xavi will leave team because they feel unable to overcome Barcelona's current situation.
However, Xavi decided to leave the team with a good impression of course, so Xavi will maximize all his best abilities so that Barcelona qualify for the UCL next season even though they don't have the chance to defend the title like last season.
If Xavi does not decide to leave proactively, maybe he will be sacked. No guarantee that Barcelona will keep him as their head coach because with their debt, they need to achieve good results, win titles to get money that can be used for paying part of current debt together with other purposes like paying player and staff salary.

With poor results, no titles, Barcelona will see bigger financial crisis and they will not defend Xavi because he used to be their legendary player.
395  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 31, 2024, 07:47:55 AM
I think Xavi's decision to  resign is the right one. Xavi loves this  club. And he is a living legend  of Barcelona. He was  the coach  of this club for the last 2 years. And  despite Barcelona not being in  a good position, the team  won the La Liga title last  season with the  help of Xavi. But now Barcelona face  a bigger problem. The team's performance  this season has been erratic.
Xavi did a right thing to step down from a coach position proactively. He loves the club like you said and he wants best for the club. In addition, he already achieved big things with them, one La Liga title that is a milestone for his young coach career. He still has many years ahead in his coach career and he can return to Barcelona in future as a head coach.

Quote
Also their financial  condition is not good. So Barcelona needs a more experienced coach.
If Xavi remains as the coach of the team, it will not be  good for Barcelona and Xavi. Barcelona  fans might start trolling  Xavi too. Perhaps this is why Xavi has decided not to stay at Barcelona at the end of this season.
With Barcelona's financial status, it will be so hard for them to resolve it by depending on their results in La Liga and Champions League. It's hard to win titles and get rewards for winners to resolve their financial problem. It is a very risky bet from Barcelona and they know it, Xavi know it, so when things become worse and he feels he can not help them to achieve it, it's wise decision to leave.
396  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Beginner's Guide to the Bitcoin Halving Event on: January 31, 2024, 07:35:55 AM
The video repeats a common misconception. Contrary to what the video says, the halving does not reduce the supply. The supply is always increasing every block until it reaches 21 million.
It is a common misconception and in other words, people believe Bitcoin is deflationary but it is not. In fact Bitcoin is inflationary because its supply increases with time, with new blocks until 2140 and 21 million bitcoins were all mined from Bitcoin blocks. Only block subsidy decreases after 210,000 blocks.

How is the 21 Million Bitcoin Cap Defined and Enforced?

I also can't wait to see Al-NASSR against Inter Miami which of course will bring together football stars, namely Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi. Yes, indeed, the news that Cristiano Ronaldo has recovered from his injury makes all Cristiano Ronaldo fans happy and I also feel happy This news is because, for example, when Al-NASSR competes against Inter Miami without Cristiano Ronaldo it doesn't feel exciting because what many viewers are waiting for is the meeting between Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.
A match between clubs with Messi and Ronaldo are hot and expected by many fans so this postpone will not be a termination of the match between Al Nassr and Inter Miami. It will be rescheduled at the right time and we also have to hope that their two biggest star players will be healthy and ready for that match. If one of two players or both are not ready, the rescheduled match will be rescheduled again.

Quote
Yes, Mane's absence will certainly make Al-Nassr's attack line less than optimal in launching attacks. Yes, maybe You prediction is correct that the Al-Nassr and Inter Miami match could result in a draw because Al-Nassr's attack line will definitely be a little less than optimal because Mane can't play.
Mane is important for Al Nassr and with him, Al Nassr has more attacking power as well as more flexibility in their attacking that can help them to break down opponent's defense system more easily. With Mane, Cristiano Ronaldo will have more space and opportunities to find goals for Al Nassr. Without Mane, more attention of defenders will be on Cristiano that will reduce his danger.

I read all of the above and no one refers to rising fees.

I see the highest stretch of fees ever has occurred in the last 13 months. see below




those number will grow after the ½ ing

and as much as they do this time.

in 2028 even more.
Latest increase of transaction fee, mempool congestion mostly come from Ordinals, Inscriptions, BRC20 tokens. Your chart shows that before this wave in 2023, Bitcoin mempools had two other times with high demands and expensive transaction fees, in 2017-2018 and 2021 because of two previous bull runs.

Fortunately, after bull runs, it was cooled down to nearly normal in 2022 before we had crazy contributions and effects from Ordinals. Demands on Bitcoin will continue to increase especially after each halving but about Ordinals, will they stay forever on-chain or will migrate to Lightning Network or some layer-2, I hope they will because it will help mempool and Bitcoin users.

New signings and putting the team in a dilemma of evicting and retaining one out of two options. When the situation happened with Ronaldo, it was said that it's cos of his influence, money and capacity. Now it's Benzema's turn, what will be said. For me I'd blame Saudi league because the teams are trying all their possible best to be recognized. Al Nassr before Ronaldo joined weren't heard about. All of a sudden, they're talked about occasionally.
Benzema joined Saudi Professional League when he still played well for Real Madrid and his position in Real Madrid was still solid. It is big different than Cristiano Ronaldo who completely lost his position in Manchester United. Benzema got some injuries and had less appearances for Real Madrid in his last season for them but their performances in Saudi Arabia are different, Ronaldo is excellent and Benzema is bad.

They anyway contributed to make Saudi Professional League more famous and helped them to attract some more star players from Europe in the last summer.

Quote
It's rumoured that the league wants to secure a spot in the UEFA champions league and they shouldn't be blamed for doing all it takes to make meaning.
I knew about that rumor months ago but I believe it is impossible for UEFA to accept a club from non European countries to join Champions League. If they do it, they will have to pick like a champion of AFC Champions League, not arbitrarily choose a club from Saudi Professional League. It will cause a lot of noise and UEFA will hardly to handle this because it is clearly unfair for other clubs in Asia.

To be honest, I was quite doubtful that Roma would win the match against Salernitana last night and I finally had the courage to include this match in multibet. As a result, as we can see, Roma was able to steal full points in this away match and this also proves that De Rossi is a worthy coach to replace Mourinho.
It is too soon to say De Rossi is a good coach and a good choice for Roma. He only had 3 matches, won all 3 matches with Roma and one of them is a friendly match, two matches are against weak teams. He has good debut in Roma as a coach but he will need to prove his ability with more matches.

Quote
And yes, Roma managed to score the first goal through the penalty spot and Dybala, who was appointed as the executor, did his job well. Roma was leading 0-1 but this was still not safe enough and right in the 66th minute Pellegrini scored Roma's second goal. I thought this two goal lead was enough to secure victory
The penalty is a gift for Roma after they were dominated by Salernitana in a first half. Without that lucky penalty and goal, honestly it's hard for Roma to win this match with what they shown in a first half. De Rossi has many things to do for improvement in Roma and he will have two play-off matches against Feyenoord in Europa League which will be actual big tests for him.
