I think the german government will try to proceed with the professional sports leagues in germany as long as possible.
Amateur sports already need to pause during november, but bundesliga clubs are also companies and employers and some of them already struggled financially even before the crisis.
So if another complete lockdown would occur now i think clubs like schalke for example could be in huge trouble and probably would be in real danger of going bankrupt.
All clubs are in financial crisis this year. The effects of the coronavirus epidemic have diminished somewhat, but clubs have not yet fully resolved their financial problems. At this time, if the government lockdown everything again, the clubs will face more financial problems. So all the clubs will try to continue the game. But it is much more risky. I think the safety of the players should be considered first without worrying about finances.

You are right. All the clubs now have some financial problems because the spectators or fans are not able to come to the field to watch the game. Now if all the games are stopped again due to lockdown then how will the clubs pay the players?

Cricket is the one of the game I so much love, but the problem is that I don't really know how cricket operates and I never gamble with cricket game, so I want to know if its possible to have a cricket betting center like soccer betting center that will enable people who are novice to it to understand it properly without difficulties, because from my perspective having it's betting center I think it can enable it to reach the grass root, because from my understanding it has gotten to the knowledge of everyone on how to predict it and also play it.

If you love the game so much then you should be aware of the rules and regulations. Betting is not that so difficult in cricket you bet on either side and depending on the game you bet on boundaries, wickets, dot balls and etc.

I do not understand what is so complicated about this game? If you need more information related to cricket you can search on Google and there are tons of information.
I think cricket is the easiest things to gamble. We know the results of many matches in advance. If you watch the game regularly then you can definitely make good predictions about cricket matches.

Not all gamblers faced the situation like loosing all the time. If you are clearly deal the gambling on betting and ideal games, you may win more than loosing funds. Sometimes you may get attracted slot roll or lucky spin kind of games, mostly these games users are finding loss more than other way gamblers.
Probably there are a few gamblers who are winning more than losing but in general, a huge portion of them are losing money way more than they are winning.

Losing is unavoidable in gambling. You may win this time but not today. The problem lies in the gambler themselves because they aren't ready enough to gamble. You can avoid losing in gambling though by not gambling at all Cheesy.
Taking a survey to determine the numbers of winners and losers in gambling will solve this issue, personally I think more gamblers are winning and earning decent bucks in gambling this is based on the fact that the numbers of gambling sites coming on board had increased in recent times, majority of btc paying signature campaigns are gambling related this is an indication that many sees gambling as alternative and a decent ways of earning money although there are losers as well.
The easiest way to make money in less time is to gamble. If are lucky you can become rich in a very short time. We have seen many such examples. At the same time, if luck does not help, you will be gone if you are not careful.

Luis Suarez got positive Covid-19 test during international break and most likely he will miss game against Barcelona. It's huge loss for Atletico. Well, it make Barcelona task easier, but personally I would want to see them in full squad and it would be very interesting to see Suarez playing against us. I think he would be extra motivated.
It's confirmed that Luis Suarez won’t play against Barcelona on next Saturday after testing positive for COVID-19 for 2nd time. Too bad and great loss as well since i'm really wanted to see him against his previous club. Wish quick recovery.
This is very bad news for Atletico Madrid. The match is very important for them. They are now in a good position at the point table. In any way they will not want to lose the match against Barcelona. Without Suarez, this is really very difficult to win a big team like Barcelona.

After Pioli tested positive for Covid-19 I read the news that assistant coach Giacomo Murelli was also positive for Covid-19. If this is true then against Napoli Milan will not be accompanied by Pioli and Murelli in that match besides that there is a possibility that both of them will still not be able to accompany the team when the Rossonerri are hosted by Lille next week.

The covid epidemic is starting again around the wholw world, the second wave of the covid epidemic. Football matches will be postponed again if the vaccine is not discovered very soon. And postponing the football matches is the right decision.

I am yet to see the team for the Test matches for India but Pujara is a Test specialist and he has not played any competitive cricket for a long time due to pandemic and that will be a challenge for him and there is no way CA will be preparing pitches that are batting friendly as that will end up in a draw rather than providing in any result as India has some good players who are able to bat the entire day especially Pujara.

This is something that the BCCI should pay attention to. Players such as Pujara have been out of action for quite long, and they may find themselves rusty during the matches. It is very much necessary to have a good number of practise/warmup matches before the actual matches start. I am skeptical here, because the BCCI have been always against playing large number of practice matches.
I think fair amount of Test players are schedule to play 2-3 warm up games against Australia A and if i remember the roster clearly then warm-up game would start seamlessly along with intl T-20 series (Aus vs Ind). These warm up games might help some players such as Pujara, Rahane,Vihari, Pant, Saha etc
Australia's climate and environment are completely different from India's. And their field and pitch are completely different than the pitch in Asia. India should adapt to that field and environment by playing a few warm up matches. And warm up matches will be very beneficial for players who have no previous playing experience on the Australian field.
You are right. Warm-up match  help all the teams to adapt to the new field. If India team doesn't play a warm up match and goes straight to play against Australia, it won't be a good result for them. I think they will lose the first game to Australia.

It looks like today isn't good day for my bets Sad
Only my bet for Albania win against Belarus  was correct.
Maybe I should change my other bets..
Maybe we will  witness a miracle and Poland won't lose against Netherland
I think the match between the Netherlands and Poland is unpredictable. Both teams are equally strong. Lewandowski is in the Poland's squad. He is an extraordinary striker. He has some great skill.

That's a very huge amount of money. I'm sure that that person has been doing gambling for such a long time that he's able to bet a very huge amount of money. There will surely be regrets if he lost but I guess he will still be able to handle it well. It will only take a few days for him to know the result. He'll be lucky if Trump would get a chance to win his candidacy again.
Trump has lost the election and this gambler has lost a huge amount of money. But I think he has a lot of money. Otherwise, he would not have bet on such a large amount

There are 16 players that tested positive for covid19 in premier league since the last test from 9 to 15 november.
Some of them not disclosed but we know mo salah and havertz is one of them.
This numbers could still increased with tonight matches that will be played which of course at risk to get infected.
We should not believe there is a favorites side this season i guess , all the teams has equal chance to win draw and lost. Too much key players missing out for premier league important matches.

Agree this season means anything can happen because every team is affected by covid and especially big teams who have many international players, they feel it the most. I just cannot understand how people are playing internationals during this time,,, I know many have already talked about it but they really need to do something about this. These guys have families too and young children, imagine how they must feel now to quarantine and self isolate and worry they will spread it.


Covid affected players are now available in many teams. If the matches continues in such this type situation, the chances of many more players getting infected with covid 19 increase. Maybe all kinds of sports will be postponed again.

I hope that Chelsea will win the next match tomorrow. Although the two teams head-to-head record, pretty much. I made a prediction, however, in favor of Chelsea. Go Chelsea Go.
It’ll be close, it’s such an important game in the battle for next seasons CL spots. I have no idea which way it’ll go, it’s Mourinho (the master) vs Lampard (the apprentice).
It is true that, Mourinho is a great coach. He has a great ability to change the game plane at any critical situation, it's a great advantage for Tottenham Hotspur.
So, in here, I think coach is 100% OK now the responsibility goes on the players, a tricky intelligent player who can be the turning point of the game.

~
And not everybody wants to play just for money like I know one guy who left my club because he wanted to pay more let me not say names but it was a famous guy from Spurs.
Yes, not everyone plays for money, but how many players have such kind of mercy? Everyone is coming here in a professional way. You know that the honor of a player is depended on his quality.
Even though they did not claim money but the team paid them in advance cause there is a high demand of quality players.

Tottenham will lose. Chelsea will win.

Tonight in the Manchester City vs West Ham match which was postponed yesterday because of the rush weather this time the match really won't be postponed anymore.

In this match Manchester City will win because against Westham which is quite low and will continue to add points to stay away from Leicester.

Btw ,, what about the UEFA sanctions given to mancity? it's useless now in second place if next season can't join UCL.
~snip~ Honestly at this point, I am not even sure if City would want to play properly.

Yes, on pen and paper, mancity are way ahead of west ham in this clash and they will be the favorite in the fixture to follow. I think the UEFA sanction will affect mancity severely. As they won’t be able to buy players for 2 seasons which might affect the team and the revenue they make and also some players might even leave the team as they won’t be able to play so.
Game result (Mancity 2 - 0 West Ham)
The way Manchester won with West Ham by changing everyone's perception is really admirable.
I think,
From the current situation that Mancity is going through, this win will bring a psychological change for them.

Honestly at this point, I am not even sure if City would want to play properly. Remember the punishment is due to management and not the players and right now the players knows that they are screwed by the managements... well bad management? So, they may not play properly. If I were to gamble on any game for City to lose with high odds of other team winning, this game could be that game, I personally still think City will win but at the same time it feels like one of those games that could shock the world.

City players may decline to play properly and they may just "sell" the game basically by playing horribly to give a message to the teams owners and such. Many of them probably are even looking to go to another team as soon as possible this off season as well.

Yes, I agree with you. Their team management is responsible for the current situation in the city. There is no involvement of the players here. If any player were involved then one or two, not the hole team.
You know, a team is formed with a few different players & a management that manages the team. They won't want to spend two seasons (UEFA) retiring they must will be looking for a new team. There is a lot of demand for players like Sergio Agüero, Claudio Bravo, and so on.

In order to link your addresses together in one of those wallets, they would need either the seed itself (in which case they could steal all of your funds); or the master public key, which in the Trezor is shown in the wallet (I don't know about the Ledger).

But if they have one address, they can't find all of the other addresses based on that.

4055  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Like Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc Bitcoin will not stand alone on: December 16, 2017, 09:54:03 AM
The difference is that since cryptocurrencies' security is based on PoW, the more cryptocurrencies that are accepted by large numbers of merchants, the less secure each one is against attack.

Also, Mastercard and Visa are both spending the same currency.  If you have multiple cryptocurrencies, the exchange rates would fluctuate with each other and it would be very inconvenient for the user.

There may be alternatives but just one is definitely preferable.
4056  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: coinmarketcap rates on: December 15, 2017, 10:28:25 PM
I've found that Google's rate is sometimes higher than the Coinmarketcap rate (now is a poor example, as at the time of this post it's only 1 dollar higher).

Personally, I've found Coinmarketcap to be a reliable source of statistics and while I do doubt their integrity because of all the Ponzi scheme related ads that they run, I don't doubt their ability to continue giving accurate statistics.

If you really don't trust them, you could try calculating the mean average price from all of the exchanges individually, but that could take a long time, during which the price could fluctuate more.
4057  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Publicity and mainstream adoption is exactly what we need on: December 15, 2017, 10:10:11 PM
But the new waves of "users" are far less useful or relevant users than the ones that came before them.

You can tell that because the number of transactions being sent per day on the BTC network hasn't increased by the same percentage that the price has - while the price has risen by about 1700% or more, the number of transactions has less than doubled.

Also, the transactions themselves are less useful.  You can tell that because the volume of Bitcoin has increased from around 100-500 million dollars at the start of the year to far over 10 billion dollars now, so far more of the transactions are going back and forth from exchanges.  Also, Steam and Fiverr no longer accept Bitcoin, so merchant usage is far harder.

Therefore, Person B has significantly lost purchasing power.
No.  Person B has gained less than Person A (they gained none), but did not lose purchasing power unless the value of a US dollar decreased, in which case the purchasing power that they lost was proportional to the US dollar's loss in purchasing power.
In this case of only two people in the world their purchasing power would drop by a factor of 6 million times.
Purchasing power's definition:

"the financial ability to buy products and services."

Person B can buy pretty much the same amount with that dollar that they could before, not six million times less.

This is basically like:

What came first the chicken or the egg?
That question is philosophical.  People can give detailed explanations of their views on it, but they can't offer an objective answer that covers all possible scenarios.

In this case though, it's not at all subjective.  You are using the relativist fallacy to suggest that your view is somehow equally valid, but it's not - it is simply one person who is aware of at least the most basic information about how Bitcoin works (me) and one person who is not aware (you).

The code is open source.  If you really doubt me or nullius, please read.

Sure, I'll go respond. But if you still don't think Bitcoins price is correlated to the cost of mining you are delusional.
Clearly you still haven't read my earlier posts and you continue to post inane straw man fallacies.  It is correlated but the Bitcoin price does not rise because of the cost of mining.  It's the other way around.  Read it. 

If you can't be bothered reading my posts, go and read the code.  It'll have more detailed answers than I could ever give you.
Redundancy much? You don't need to repeat the word post
That's a grammatically correct way to structure a sentence.
