Newcastle vs Arsenal
Not an easy opponent for Arsenal, with the statistical record Arsenal have. Newcastle have turned into an incredible team without many star players. So there is a chance Arsenal could drop three points tonight.
With the way Manchester City are playing this season, I think it is very obvious by now even to these Arsenal players that they will not finish first on the table this season despite being so close. Some players may still see it as possible, and some others may not, because of this mixed believe that they have, their commitment will be reduced and they will be less motivated to play hard. Newcastle are on a mission to qualify for the Champions League, they are more likely to win this game.
Personally, when I think of the Arsenal story, I get annoyed despite not being their fan. It's so unfortunate for them with what they displayed when they were supposed to fight harder. I love to support the underdogs' quest but these guys fall my hand this time. I don't know when else they would have such an opportunity, and they still need to work on their self-confidence on the pitch.

As for Newcastle, they have shown a very good feat this season, I give them kudos, at least at their cadre and would most likely finish in third place which is not common for them.

Some people do that to escape the feeling if being guilty in their own negligence and mostly they blane the casino as rigged one since they want to create situation maybe a part of revenge that they are scam and each result is manipulated that's why they lose.  Not everyone can easily handle the situation and good for people who can accept immediately on what they are receiving and try to become more better on next time around.
Actually, it is a defense mechanism. In order for a person not to be felt accountable or if don't want to be responsible for his or her losses he will blame other people or some other things just to make himself feel better and comfortable. We should be the one who will be accountable for everything that we are doing especially when we are betting and when we lose too much because of our greed then we should not point it to other people or to the current scenario we are facing.
Loss is not a total failure and failure with experience derived from it even weighs more than success at times. It is so unfair of anyone to blame someone for their losses, although this particular case on this thread is different. These people are pathetic scammers, they are wicked actually and want to indirectly scam the company, thinking that a thorough investigation would not be carried out.

Neither did they think that it could reach the level of finding themselves behind bars.

4303  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 06, 2023, 03:49:37 PM
Gamblers like us help scam casino sites.  Because when we carelessly start depositing without reading the rules of a casino site and lose those funds, we get excited and start calling the casino site a scam. So totally our fault and we are responsible for it.  So before making a deposit at any casino site one should research the site thoroughly.  Of course one should always focus on trusted casinos. and if one fails to recharge any casino site well then he shouldn’t definitely focus on the new site.
some gamblers come to a new site and try out a new casino just to see how the platform works. or to try to get a bonus that a new casino gives. I also do that sometimes, although I have a casino that I trust more. just in case I just used a small amount of money to try and get some experience in a new place.
but I have proven to myself that when you are comfortable playing at a trusted casino, it is difficult to move to another place. Of course, the assessment of each gambler will always be different.
There is nothing wrong with visiting a new casino site and testing the site or enjoying the bonus facilities.  But since it is a new site, you must check if there are any scam reports about that site before depositing there.  And in new condition large amount cannot be deposited there. In that case, even if that site is a scam, there is no major loss to be faced. we must keep this in mind. I think this is good strategy
The risk of using a new casino is becoming increasingly high daily, as there will still be genuine ones among them, it's clear that one should be so careful these days. I've read a lot on the internet of late, and my conclusion is that most of them are not just there to offer any service, they are just there to scam people and they would have machinated their plans before bringing it on board.

This is not to totally dissuade people from patronising the new ones, but the risk is higher than the well-established ones. To even see many resourceful updates about them online as you have suggested is even hard because they have just started. You would only be seen paid review sites that might only say positive about them because they have been paid.
4304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: May 06, 2023, 08:35:50 AM
Barcelona are on a different level this season after struggling with the sanctions, restrictions and even losing some of their key players to lessen the weight of bearing huge wages. Xavi's employment has obviously turned things around for better, already they are in pole position to win the league trophy this season ahead of Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid who have failed to match their strength this season.

At the start it felt like Xavi wasn't doing a good job but still the club supported him
They will face one of the their fiercest sides when it comes to the league in Spain
Espanyol are also good counter attacking side and also Barcelona neighbors
Barcelona will win the league is they get to win but the game will be difficult
Xavi repays the trust of the club which has given him the opportunity to become the main coach with a trophy. The Super Cup trophy has been successfully presented as the first score since being appointed as coach, soon Barcelona will celebrate their success in La Liga as well as being the second trophy that Xavi has presented to the club that has made his name big. Barcelona only needs one more victory to get a trophy, an additional 3 points makes Barcelona collect 85 points, this number certainly cannot be chased again by Atletico Madrid who are in second place.
Xavi's arrival has made a big difference in the Barcelona squad, his signing at the start of the season made a great contribution to the club. Lewandowski, Konde, Christensen, Raphinha and Alonso are the players Xavi brought in at the start of the season. Their presence has made big changes that have made Barcelona almost win the La Liga trophy this season.
Xavi is very confident about his team Barcelona. Because after Xavi joined the team, he strengthened the team tremendously. Xavi added some new players to the team, and subsequently trained the players to great effect, making Barcelona one of the best teams in La Liga at the moment. It will be really sad news for Xavi if Barcelona fail to secure the title despite such a good performance.
I agree with you, Barcelona was in the post-Messi mess when Xavi took the mantle of leadership and the guy has helped the club so well. They did well but not like they were before, but still, I see nothing so serious taking the title from them this season. They are too far from their nearest opponent and can't be so careless to lose about 5 matches for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to be ahead of them.

I still implore them to be more serious, they should learn from Arsenal, this is not the time to relax, opponents still have time to overtake them.
4305  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: bisd/ask price chart at bitcoinity on: May 06, 2023, 07:21:31 AM
what can we analyze with bid/ask sum chart.
It's simple, Bid and Ask are used to offer prices to the Buyers and Sellers of Bitcoin, they mean Buying (We are buying at) and Selling (We are selling at). This is as it is in traditional banks for foreign exchange.

i am not able to understand that what can we do with data. (also what is "within 10% range from price" term)
The percentage price range is considered when you use the full price of Bitcoin to calculate the price at which it has moved for a certain period of time.

For example, if the price of Bitcoin is at $30,000, and after a while, it moves lower to $27,000. Meaning it shed $3000. One could now say that Bitcoin dropped 10% of its price. You may then use this basis to calculate the market impact/range on any chart or market pricing board, including the one you seek.

Does the explanation help enough?
4306  Economy / Economics / Re: How the FOMC affects Bitcoin market. on: May 06, 2023, 07:06:11 AM
*Is same effect of FOMC policy felt on other crypto currencies, alt coins including stocks and shares, around the world?

*How does Bitcoin adjust to the market after this kind of meeting and announcement by the FOMC affects interests rate of fiat and devalues it(Bitcoin) ?

Let's shed more light.
Please note that Bitcoin can't function in isolation, the decentralization of the coin is not beyond its payment operations and benefits, it doesn't cover the market pricing and how it reacts to demand and supply during the bull and bear sentiments.

And decisively about your queries, external factors affect it because Bitcoin is paired with the USD to establish the price ($29,400, for example), and this is the most valuable paired price reference by any individual and financial institution all over the world which makes it powerfully.

Anything that is happening in the US would definitely be having an impact on the USD, and in turn, be impacting the value of Bitcoin whether it's positive or negative. So inflation and interest rates are not an exception. Also as you know, the FED is powerful in making measures that affect those mentioned factors, their decisions will always affect the price of Bitcoin regardless, unless it's no longer paired with the USD which is the major BTC-paired fiat currency.
4307  Economy / Speculation / Re: Buy the DIP, and HODL! on: May 05, 2023, 04:54:57 PM
Historically in bitcoin, in a year's time, there are always dips, even if the year happens to be a bullrun year - however, I probably agree with both you ginsan and with RewFrew (you guys don't seem to be saying anything much different from one another), that there may well be times in which whatever dip that we are experiencing might end up being all the dip that we are going to end up getting, and the dip might not end up getting any lower than the current price.. yet when we are in such situations, we are hardly ever really going to have a lot of realistic and accurate information to conclusively know if the BTC price is going to dip any further within this streak (correction) or not.
That is the volatility in Bitcoin DCA value, its always unstable and there is the possibility to have a bear market and a bull market in the same cycle let's say in the 1-year range we see multiple times when Bitcoin change its direction in price and this has been the market sentiment over the years and that is not going to change since it the nature of the market, bitcoin is designed to remain volatile in price and that is what makes it a speculative asset.
I don't really disagree with anything that you are saying Odusko in regards to both the advantages of DCA and the difficuties to figure out BTC price directions during short timelines; however, I may had misspoken a little bit in terms of whether I consider it to be realistic or even meaningful to be labelling switches from bullmarket (or bullcycle) in terms of short-term BTC price happenings, and in that regard, I refuse to accept some of the traditional market assessments regarding what is considered to be bull or bear markets, and largely so far in bitcoin's history, price cycles have tended to play out in four year periods, and it can be quite difficult to know (or to have solid conviction) whether a bottom (or a top) is in, and frequently we are not going to really know until quite far down the road, so there is a bit of a lagging indication regarding whether the bear market is over or the bull market is over.. ..
I respect the views of you guys, however, let me ship my little idea.

Many assume a lot with Bitcoin psychology, while many are just lucky with their assumptions at times, but still, there are good speculators that don't do that. I am such that believes in not just calling Dump, Pump, or Hodl without a basis for it. It might depend on the angle at which one looks at the market through the tradition/theory/cycle they believe in, but the market will remain the market, and Bitcoin is not an exception so far it's charted. This is why we will always be seen the bottom, peak, and sideways (neutral) in every market including Bitcoin and it might be for either short, medium or long-term, it doesn't market.

That said, there is a basis to knowing these levels and conditions, particularly on the chart, and as an experienced speculator, I know when there are short, medium and long-term actions whether it's to buy, sell or pause the action. And if anyone doesn't want to believe that it's possible, then it's a choice but has been guiding all professional traders around the world.

The market has its psychology, and the psychology could be known under careful studies, while the approach used matters too. And presently, on the long-term view, Bitcoin has bottomed at $15,413 (November 2022's low), it's all bullish now unless it slips below the level. Elliot wave theory, Fibonacci and Trendline studies on both the weekly and monthly charts confirmed it. 'You can take my word for it.'
.
Bitcoin will not meet that quoted bottom in the next 2 years. Speculative analysis may not be perfect and also be viewed as a possibility, but when it has been successfully guiding someone with about 85-95% accuracy, then it's worth using.

It sounds to me as if you are trying to sell some kind of a trading package, and the vast majority of longer term HODLers in bitcoin do way better by erroring on the side of buying and accumulating rather than trading.

Yeah, sure it is possible to be profitable with trading and it is even more likely that positions can be bolstered by attempting to buy more when the BTC price is down; however, it way more likely that normies are going to do way worse in their BTC accumulation (and therefore future profits) if they fuck around with trading... beyond maybe some minor attempts to buy more during dip periods...and erroring on the side of mostly just regular and persistent buying and accumulating of BTC and increasing their wealth (or likely wealth) through such ongoing, regular and persistent accumulating/buying efforts.
Lol, I perfectly agree with you and no one is perhaps selling anything here, and what's it to sell? Me, I so much understand you, just trying to explain how else an effective way to know the market psychology. Mind you, you might see it in the way of trading, but it's way beyond that, I see it in the way of speculation which both traders and investors could benefit from.

Our styles and ideology on this might not be the same but I can assure you that it's still towards the same goal.
4308  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 05, 2023, 11:47:52 AM
Napoli has already won the title and the city of Naples is set on fire with blue flags anywhere,people enjoying in the streets and screaming Victor Osimhen name as the main guy who contributed more than any other to this title which is exactly 33-34 years later than the last one they won in Maradona time.

Since the beginning of the season, we have seen the power of Napoli. The team was performing well in every match. The performances of big teams like Inter Milan and Juventus have been very erratic this season. But Napoli has consistently played well in every match. They didn't lose the truck. Consistently good performances have made it easy for Napoli to win the title. And Napoli are 15 points clear of second-placed Lazio in the table. I expect Napoli to continue this streak next season. But the Napoli management should try to strengthen their squad a bit more.

you are absolutely right, Napoli was the only team that has shown its strength since the beginning of the championship unlike other teams fighting for the title of champion of Italy, today is the day of judgment finally, at Napoli even a draw against Udinese is enough, winning this point will increase Lazio to 16 points, mathematically becoming Italian Champion 33 years after the last Scudetto won in Maradona's time. I expect Napoli to have a big party tonight
Yo, did you catch that wild game last night? Napoli squared off with Udinese, and they snatched a 1-1 tie that sealed the championship for this season! I'm straight-up buzzing for them! They've been straight fire, leaving other title contenders in the dust. Napoli flexed their muscle early on, and they've earned this W.

Check it – Napoli's got Serie A's illest attack and defense stats. They've netted the most goals and allowed the least. Wild, huh? Lazio, chillin' in the runner-up spot, has let in just one more goal than Napoli. That's a testament to Napoli's sheer dominance this year.

So, let's throw down tonight and toast to Napoli's triumph! It's been 33 long years since they snagged the Scudetto, so let's show them with love and cheers. Big ups, Napoli!
One thing I love about Napoli's winning of the scudetto is the fact that they won it in great fashion. They've had an amazing season and has dominated the Italian league for almost the entire duration of the season.
Victor Osimhen has been electrifying and I think he's extraordinary performance this season made the major difference between Napoli and the other Italian clubs. The Napoli fans knows about Osimhen's great contribution to the club this season and that's why they singing his name in appreciation
It's a great moment for Napoli and big congratulations to them after all these years. It was so deserving this season, they tried their best and I believe the whole world should celebrate with them even if they are not a fan. Nevertheless, the future of the club is still shaky, it has a high probability that Victor Osimhen will leave for a greener pasture and there is no way his absence would not be felt.

We could see it when the guy had an injury and how the club performed, next season should once again prove its true worth.

This is a thoughtful question, live price feeds should be available, and I would suggest it on the first page of the forum where people visiting would be able to take a quick glance. The price feeds should be priced with major world currencies including gold as it's been done with websites dealing with assets.

On second thought, the only setback might be that the forum wants to remain private, and can't do feeds without third-party involvement.

So I think Manchester City will get an easy win against West Ham. And with this result, of course, it will move Arsenal back to 2nd place. But if it turns out that Manchester City is held to a draw by West Ham in that match, then this will not make Arsenal's position safe at 1st place. Because Manchester City still has 1 match postponed. And actually there are not many games left at this time. So if there is one mistake made by one of the teams, between Arsenal or Manchester City, it will certainly make the team that made the mistake lose their chance to win the title this season.

Manchester City, which is one step closer to the trophy, certainly won't waste every match. West Ham is in a condition that is not optimal and the club they will face is trying to step on the gas to secure a position at the top of the Premier League standings. Because after that Manchester City will be busy preparing to appear primed in the Champions League. It's not surprising that the result of the match against West Ham will be easy for them to win, even without Erling Haaland as the starting eleven. Arsenal barely returned to first place but it wasn't long before Manchester took it, the narrow point gap would only alternate until Manchester City completed 38 games.

Snip

Man City is a club that has always been consistent in the EPL, they are not lousy like many top clubs in the league and will likely win the season's league one more time. Trashing West Ham yesterday was easy to remain at the top of the league after Arsenal blew the chance, what pity? Such a club with the solid feat this season will highly unlikely to be defeated by any club again till the league is over soon.

Another club I would like to praise is Liverpool. It shows that the club has dusted off their nonsense to have perfected 5 winning games after drawing against Arsenal last month.
Please understand that my team is not bad, and Arsenal has made enough effort to not be considered bad this season compared to Chelsea, who are just one point above the relegation zone. West Ham was in a terrible predicament, and everyone should fear Manchester City's fury because their team is good even though they are Arsenal's adversary. I still admire the way they play, though. This is one of the most competitive  premier league  have seen though. This way things are going Manchester City will later win.
And Liverpools performance is really not good  this season  compare to other years.
I'm surprised you are comparing your club with Chelsea and West Ham this season, it's clear that you don't want to face the reality. No one is saying that Arsenal didn't try this season, but why the late time disappointment when people were saying their praise? You can't expect people to start praising Arsenal for their disappointing display during this crucial time, they drew 3 games with lesser clubs consecutively and lost the next one before winning Tuesday's match.

They had the opportunity to win the cup this year, but they blew it, so we should praise them? Be realistic, don't be biased.

There is no link between SBF and his former FTX with what is happening in banks and financial institutions that are not related to crypto or had dealing with him and his former company. This could only affect the crypto space, and of which its effect has been weighed since months ago.

This is practical, and what is happening to banks is as a result of their poor management and regulation, they were not overseen well. The US government and FED have exposed some of these banks which is what is leading to ripple effects.

While a few want to use the bailout funds to restructure and strengthened themselves, so they reveal their condition easily. This is shameful, US banks are not to be trusted.

Please, I want to know if;
  • Bull run happens few months or weeks to halving
  • Or it happens few weeks or months after halving
  • Or it happens simultaneously in the week or month of halving

I want to know when exactly to buy bitcoin since I don't want to use the DCA system in this purchase. Will market see anything below $20k again?

It seems you are reasoning like me, I'm so curious these days in preparing for the 2024 drama. Nonetheless, my advice for you is to learn how to study your Bitcoin chart very well, all the answers you need are there. I recommend you use both weekly and monthly charts for effective studies.

Still, let me try to answer your questions:

No one yet knows the exact date of the 2024 halving or promises the same reaction, but judging by what happened in the last one, the pump started in April (a month before the halving). I guess it was due to FOMO, but was never significant like what started in October of the same year. There are months that ended bearish before the October pump that lasted till 2021.

This calls for wisdom, one should have started buying as early as April or even March and leave it for at least 9 months.

And in the end it is true that the result of the match was a landslide victory for Manchester City. In the first half, West Ham miraculously managed to draw against Manchester city. but in the second half Manchester City didn't let West Ham hold them back. and Finally Manchester City won with a score of 3-0. And now Manchester City is back at the top of the standings. And with this result Manchester City only has to maintain victory in every remaining match. And lifted the trophy at the end of the season.

Today there is a quite interesting match, namely the Manchester United vs Brighton match. What makes this match interesting is that by looking at the facts in the history of the last 3 meetings, we can see that Manchester United has always struggled to win against Brighton. Even in the last meeting in the FA Cup, Manchester United were only able to win from the penalty shootout. and in the previous 2 matches Manchester United always lost to Brighton. And to be honest I'm not sure what will happen in today's match. But if Manchester United wins then Newcastle will be shifted from 3rd to 4th place.
The Manchester City team is also performing exceptionally well in the Premier League. In the last few matches I have not seen Manchester City play a bit worse. In every match Manchester City team players have shown their skill and mastery. Looking at the performance of the Manchester City team, it can be expected that this team will secure at least one title this season.

Such a club with the solid feat this season will highly unlikely to be defeated by any club again till the league is over soon.

Another club I would like to praise is Liverpool. It shows that the club has dusted off their nonsense to have perfected 5 winning games after drawing against Arsenal last month.

Hi everyone, I'm having a couple of transactions with a guy, he want to pay me with WebMoney, I've never used it before, it's quite strange for me.
Site is https://www.wmtransfer.com/
If you have any experience with it, please let me know your review, as well as problems that I need to avoid when trading with it. I am quite nervous when I have to use something new, sometimes there will be payment problems like Paypal, it is very disturbing so I need your advice.
Webmoney is a Russian company with a payment gateway solution that is topnotch, its rivalry with Perfectmoney lingered for years after the US government took down the popular Libertyreserve over a decade ago. At some point, you would hardly see a retail broker that doesn't accept Webmoney for deposit and withdrawal. All these happens until cryptocurrency came on board and reduced its popularity.

These expressions are to tell you that Webmoney is not new and was indeed popular. Nonetheless, it's still in use, but you might find it difficult to exchange it for your local currency if it's not popular in your country. Local exchangers are scarce for it these days in most countries.

Alternatively, you may use the service of https://www.bestchange.com to convert it to crypto, but be ready to part ways with a higher fee. Also, if you have a trusted person in Russia, you can send your Webmoney, and such will send you crypto (most reasonable for value).

We might not know what these artificial intelligence is capable of during until we wait for few years from now to see how things are going to go like. This AI is going to be used more for evil and we need to be prepared for the worse because the time is coming to us as soon as possible. Even the government may not be able to control it themselves.
the whole idea of the person(s) behind the AI invention isn't for evil, it's the negative mindset of the users that'll now change this idea and make it look like a bad idea.
As we believe that the intentions of the developers of AI are good, we should learn from the old cults formed where their intentions were good and for freedom fighting, but as generations pass, it was being used for evil. It's human beings we are talking about, they would definitely use it for evil. While some will code an already-made AI to do more evil tasks for them, so I believe the world should be wary of it.

But for casinos, as the main subject of this thread, AI will never be able to manipulate casinos into winning, unless it would first hack it.

Shrinkflation is practice of reducing the size of a product while maintaining its sticker price.

I hate it when companies reduce quantity (and often quality too) of product to sell it at same price as before to combat inflation. Oh and don't forget those, "30% Extra" labels.

Inflation makes everything rise, so might as well keep the original quantity and just increase the price.

Do you agree? How would you combat inflation if you were running a company?
Every company wants to gain and be happy, but the approach used matters, some are ill and inhumane. Inflation is mostly bad, I used "mostly" because it's not bad for everyone, it's as a matter of fact the time for some companies to make more money. This can only be done by cheating people. They go away with it in climes because of poor regulations.

As we are complaining about global inflation, do you know that banks and many companies in my country are declaring higher annual gains? They could only do this by cheating people with higher prices, fees, charges and manipulations.

Aside from the banks, many manufacturers reduced their product size and still increase the price of the product. This is a means of maximizing profits through cheating in the guise of inflation.

I don't know what you mean by "extremist" here, but the fact is, you still need people like that, don't you? You yourself know that the existence of cryptocurrency is still in its baby age. A great effort is needed to make cryptocurrency more visible to the public and more appealing to adopt. And when that happens, I'm sure you'll feel happy even if you don't say it to anyone in this forum. And did you know? The contribution of extremists increases the chances of Bitcoin's existence being known to the public in a wider scope.
An extremist is a bigot, I am not one of them, they could make unnecessary noise which is not mature. Mind you, it's not the work of extremists that got crypto to this level, it's the work of the founder of Bitcoin and the benefits attributed to blockchain technology (sense and creativity). When a problem is solved through a means, people will buy it, it's not by pitching crypto with fiat, it's about smartness in how you deliver it to the consumers.

And for the record, these extremists are only making noise online, most of them have never attracted anyone to crypto, they only like to argue, while the crypto developers, business owners, exchanges and many more created tempting avenues for people to appreciate and adopt crypto the more. Can you see the difference? The attractiveness of crypto and the business models around it are what you have mistaken for extremists' lousiness. It's wisdom and the attractiveness of crypto that is helping the adoption since it has a lot to offer people not the childishness of some extremists that will never contribute something meaningful to the adoption but ti make noise.

It's okay to compare it with anything, as it can produce discussion material and generate new ideas from different perspectives. Bitcoin extremists are people who are no longer ashamed to say "I support Bitcoin" in public. And that is a level of confidence that you may not have. You admit that the most transactions you make every day are using cryptocurrency. That means you are actually an extremist, maybe even more so than others. But you choose to be neutral and become a person who is not an extremist.
What I see above is not a comparison, it's siding one against the other, of which in true practice, everybody knows that we are benefiting from both and they have their pros and cons. Also, it's not about being ashamed, I always tell people to adopt it and will continue to do so. I do everything with crypto now, and like I stated earlier, 100% of my cross-border transactions are crypto aside from trading and holding it.

This means that I love crypto so much and depend on it daily, but will still not be an extremist of it. I know how the two (fiat and crypto) benefit me and I do my best to use them where they could serve me better than each other, not pitching them against each other.

My Bitcoin store is getting bigger each day and I'm planning how to make a business around it, this is smartness.
