^  Yeah I'll prolly do a couple of EPL bets for fun.  But nothing I'll take seriously...  It's time to take a break.

I think that focusing on the FA cup matches would be more interesting this weekend.
As we are reaching the Semi Finals the teams that are playing this weekend in the FA cup will play seriously. Also, don't forget that FA cup is a considerable titles for the English teams and they will play hard to win,

Now I believe a team doesnt really need star. Again, Denver is proving it. Jokic was not really their star from that statt but due to good coaching all of them is known now.
A strong team which did not even made the playoffs last year is not at the second spot in the West.
Will be watching all these players now.
You don't even need a star player to win games all you need is team work and all players doing their part to contribute. But its a different thing when it comes to playoffs especially in the championship a team's success to win the trophy depends on how hungry their players are and nothing is more hungrier and motivated then a star player wanting to be his name on top of the hall of fame, that's why a lot of teams showing good teamwork isn't sufficient enough for them to defeat this kinds of teams that has all stars.

The last team to win a NBA championship without a real superstar was the 2004 Detroit Pistons.  So yes, it is very rare to win without one of those big name players on your team.  Its not impossible but very unlikely to happen.  Its why teams are willing to spend 30 million per year on just one player.

Indeed, but now every team in the NBA has a star player in the roster. At least those who compete to get the championship title. Well, except from Golden State Warriors who have all the NBA stars all together in one squad. This is what makes the difference in the team for so many consecutive years.

Today's markets have become so unstable that the next financial crisis can happen in a moment of our lives without any reason. In particular, we can easily understand how risky a period we are having to take into account the markets, bad economic conditions and other factors that react, even with the words written or said by a few states. On the other hand, when we think of bad world conditions such as the shrinking world economy, growing trade wars and the poor people, we can feel how bad the days are waiting in the coming years or in the near future. Our future will no doubt be worse than today.

The reason that we are currently at risk is the fact that so many transactions happen daily and many of them are on behalf of debt.
When this debt is accumulated on certain entities then the financial crisis appear and all the people in the economic system that are involved are in danger. Hopefully, by acquiring and hodling bitcoin this risk is minimized.
4524  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-03-13]Is FaceCoin The Future of Payments or Is It Just Another Exaggerated on: March 15, 2019, 10:51:08 AM
It has not been up to an hour since the news came out about Facebook’s yet to be launched virtual currency. Its name is FaceCoin.

As at the closing quarter of 2018, Facebook had started recruiting Blockchain linked employees for a discrete project. Since then, there have been so many ongoing rumors.

Recently, an investigative journalist from the prominent New York Times reported the news that Facebook; the social media giant is creating a stable coin.

This is a virtual currency that has a fixed value to counter any existing fiat currency such as dollars, euros, etc. So, it is evident that FaceCoin will be created to fight against the merged worth of fiat currencies.

It is not possible that this is going to promote decentralization or the blockchain industry. It is just another way of spreading FOMO in our community.
This coin that Facebook is going to create is going to be totally centralized, as there is no benefit for it to be built in a distributed ledger environment and it will not add any value to the cryptocurrency industry.
4525  Economy / Economics / Re: How can we get people to use bitcoin as a currency? on: March 15, 2019, 10:13:34 AM
if more merchants use bitcoin as payment processor then we can expect bitcoin as payment processor like visa and master cards

We need to build the ecosystem in order to make this happen. It is not possible to make merchants use bitcoin right now because there are not many people who hold bitcoin and they want to make payments with them. If the customer segment that uses bitcoin will be increased then merchants will not have any other choice but accept bitcoin as a payment method.

I started playing in an online casino and gambling with coins that I got from an airdrop.
The value of that coins was about 2 dollars and I started gambling and I managed to reach now 300 dollars. I think that it is an accomplishment for me because it is a very high rate. I was very lucky to do it but I don't think that I can make it again!
4527  Economy / Speculation / Re: No bull market for 2019 on: March 15, 2019, 08:32:37 AM
We are already in March and we haven't seen any considerable increase in the market cap or in the bitcoin price. In my opinion it will be crucial to see if anything is going to happen till April. If we don't have any sign till then, I believe that 2019 is going to be a tough year for all of us as well. Personally, I have faith that we are going to reverse the situation this year.
4528  Economy / Economics / Re: Who is really hopeful about the future of Bitcoin and why? on: March 15, 2019, 08:15:45 AM
everyone who joins cryptocurrencies, such as investors, traders, miners, even all bounty hunter participants also expect the future of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Why? because with the development of bitcoin in the future it will be able to increase the assets they have in the future.

I would argue about traders and bounty hunters as well.
First and foremost, the vast majority of bounty hunters dump their earned crypto immediately when they get them and they convert it to fiat. They don't care about the ecosystem, they are just trying to make some money.
Also, some traders have benefits from the price declines. For them, it is better not to have always a high price because it may decrease their returns.
4529  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2018-2019 on: March 15, 2019, 08:05:13 AM
Slavia scored another goal in extra time and won against Sevilla on aggregate. Kjaer has able to kick ball from goal line, but failed. Crazy match, disaster for Sevilla! Underdogs Slavia made history tonight!. Pablo Machin - sacked in the morning? Wouldn't be surprised at all.

This season is so exciting!
None would ever predict both in Champions League but also in the Europa League that we are going to see less strong teams disqualifying the strong ones.
Slavia Praha probably made yesterday the game of the decade (at least) for them and disqualifying a huge club with many Europa League trophies. I hope to see the same pace in the next round!

It is half time in Kiev and Chelsea wins 0-3 with two goals from Olivier Giroud and one from Marcos Alonso.

Dynamo doesn't seem that can compete Chelsea and it is obvious that Chelsea will have an easy night and they can rest some first team players fully as it is not going to be needed to play. Hazard and David Luiz can enjoy the match from the bench relaxed!
4531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: March 14, 2019, 05:56:45 PM
21 year old Eder Militao from Porto has signed a contract with Real Madrid until 2025.
He is a central defender from Brazil. He's got 1 cap with Brazil.
That makes him Zidane's first signing.

It would be interesting to see him playing next to Sergio Ramos in the main squad. The mistake that Real Madrid does all these year is that it signs young players but they don't give them the chance to evolve and be part of the team as early as they sign up. I don't to see him benched or see him go on loan to another team as he is very skilled and talented.
4532  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will an increase in bitcoin price affect the gambling industry on: March 14, 2019, 10:29:07 AM
As we all know the value of bitcoin are down but we are still optimistic about the price bouncing back.
Am new to bitcoin sportbook I just want to ask what would change if bitcoin increases

I am totally sure that the fluctuations of bitcoin prices have an impact on the gambling industry.
In my opinion, when they price goes down (and the whole market cap), bitcoin becomes a cheaper coin and the volumes on the casinos are getting increased because people play with more bitcoin portions that before.
4533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: accurate sport prediction on: March 14, 2019, 10:25:44 AM
Hi guys,pls can anybody send me a website or  football tip star that give accurate football tips that as high success of winning rate or if you know of s reliable site or tip star that give fixed football matches kindly pm thanks

You will never find anything like this. Accurate goal prediction cannot exist and if anyone offers you this service you should be vey cautious as you may end up getting scammed.
Follow your instict will betting for goalscoring and study some historical data from previous matches of the teams.
4534  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2019 NBA Season on: March 14, 2019, 09:38:14 AM

.....but as for now lets just enjoy watching the playoffs.

We will have a good playoffs this season, lots of good teams and no Lebron.
The east is good to predict than the west since they don't have a team that are dominating yet unlike in the past when Lebon was still with Cavaliers.
Though Giannis is playing well but we cannot conclude he will dominate the East, we have Leonard and Embid also who are making an impact to their team.

Bucks is a good team but i think they will find a hard time during playoffs. They lack of experience in these series in my opinions.
I would possibly bet that Raptors will be the winners of East and eventually the championship will be won again by a team from the West side.
4535  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to Protect yourself from Excitement and keep your Winnings Safe on: March 14, 2019, 09:34:49 AM
You know what, the best way to protect yourself from losing in a streak? Stop gambling all of your money. Gambling all those money that you can lose. Only those you can lose.

I don't think that this is the best solution to gambling.
Money is the motivation that keeps you playing but you need something stronger in order to tackle it. Every gambler should work on self controlling themselves but having a lot of activities that distract them from gambling. Being away from gambling thoughts can solve the problem.
4536  Economy / Economics / Re: Cashless Economy: Is Society ready for transformation? on: March 14, 2019, 09:24:39 AM
We are going in a direct course in non-cash economy. Banks are already switching to cashless payments.

The transformation has started many years ago, I render that it started since 2009 where the economic crisis hit the whole world. Cashless societies are in favor of the debt world that our economic model is built upon. More and more cashless options for us are about to come and I hope that cryptocurrencies will be one of them.
4537  Economy / Economics / Re: Everything is an investment-change my mind on: March 14, 2019, 09:11:55 AM
I constantly here people say " Only invest what you can afford to lose"  Well no matter where your wealth is it could crash.

-Invest in USD- USA could collapse and experience mass inflation making your dollars nearly worthless
-Invest in Bonds- Government could collapse making your bonds worthless
-Invest in real estate- Housing prices could crash, natural disaster could hit and insurance company could go bankrupt
-Invest in metals- prices could crash, asteroid mining could collapse prices

Your money is never 100% safe no matter where it is invested.

Who said that our money is safer when we invest in one industry rather in another?
Even if you keep your savings in the bank, and leaving them there you are not sure if you are going to lose them or not. Maybe the bank will go bankrupt and you will lose everything.
Every investment has a risk behind it. The bigger the risk the bigger the returns. It is simple as that.
4538  Economy / Economics / Re: Barclays: ‘Facebook Coin’ to bring in $19 billion by 2021 on: March 14, 2019, 08:48:14 AM
The blockchain technology is not needed so this digitalization of facebook attempt.
I think that these websites are only trying to create a FOMO trend with these news. "Facebook coin" is not needed to be built on the blockchain. After all, it will be a centralized digital coin that will be used only for the operations in the apps that Facebook owns.
4539  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2019-3-10] QuadrigaCX Missing Crypto Investigation Full of Twists and Turns on: March 14, 2019, 08:36:55 AM
This story is too shady in my opinion.
I just want to state how is it possible for such a big company that only the CEO has the Private keys of the wallets? On the one hand it is a good safety measure that one holds the keys, but on the other side it is so irrational. QuadrigaCX was a big corporation with many clients. It is so weird to me that they didn't have a plan B, in case the CEO dies.

LOL! I was so interested to see how it is possible for a boutique to accept bitcoin without a payment gateaway but you ruined my dreams! Grin
Gateaways provide safety for both counterparts and I think it is essential to keep it that way...
