Tonali is suspended till August 2024 and that is a very long time. This is a very tough situation for the player as he has to be in shape staying out of training and also be able to take part in gambling rehab as well. I think it's a bit harsh on Tonali but the call has been made and he has to serve the punishment. Also now main thing to watch is how Newcastle handles this.. will they take another player and try to sell Tonali at cheaper rate or continue to wait for Tonali to rejoin next season. Secondly if they take up another player it will be very hard for Tonali to earn back place next season. It's a very tough situation and I think we will about to see how Newcastle feels about this in upcoming transfer window. Although they do have decent players to play in midfield but I think they might add a player to cover up for Tonali.
There is no doubt this is going to be hard time for the Tonali and Newcastle United as well because suddenly they lost very important player which is surely going to hurt their performance and moral as well with now for the alternative they have to wait until January which is also going to have problem for them but for me selling him on cheap price is never been ideal because still he is the quality player and after ten months things can go with him like this time as well but in January window Newcastle United need to have something for the rest of the season which will bring some improvement into their squad as well.

Situation is surely very unfortunate for the Tanoli and many other players which are going to face circumstances after this but surely also lesson for the many which are going to have future in this game they need to understand all things before having any hobby like this.

In Group F, I was expecting goals between the teams in both matches, but it didn't happen as I expected and the winners didn't score. I was especially surprised that Newcastle United didn't score at home against Dortmund. The home team, which has managed to score a lot of goals in recent weeks, froze against Dortmund. Even though they had more possession of the ball, we can honestly say that both teams played on an equal level but Dortmund scored the goal and won. With this win Dortmund actually showed the other teams that they are still in the group. If they had lost points in this match, it would have been very difficult for them to get out of the group.
In sports, we have to accept all things with every game can go either way like we have last night I was also expecting this match as good for the over but at the end we have only one goal with Newcastle United was unlucky their two shots hits sidebar and after these things were not into their favor as well, but good thing still they are in good situation for the having spot into next round because AC Milan performance is awful, and they are goalless in last three games which is really the worst thing happen and next match against PSG at home will be decider about their future in this event.

But, again Newcastle United performance is not bad at all because they are doing good work and their big win against PSG is still going to have good advantage for them, but they have to done good in next games for their full chances.

Savings isn’t something that should put us in very tight corners but what really matters is that we have a way to always sustain and make ends meet. There are always unexpected expenses that comes when we least expected and most times these expenses are always pressing and We can’t ignore them when they arise and your savings culture also depends on how much we earn and for those who earn something reasonable enough for savings, should always set aside a budget for miscellaneous expenses as they will always come and are always difficult to ignore.
It's actually not difficult to save some money for those who earn a reasonable amount of money every month because their expenses would generally be lower than how much they earn which allows them to actually have some money left at the end of the month unless they deliberately spend it all on things that aren't really necessary. Such people don't face problems with savings or their personal expenses and they can easily save some money for emergency situations.

However, when we talk about someone who barely earns a minimum wage, such a person would barely be able to save anything because they hardly manage to fulfill their monthly expenses with the money they earn. No matter how much they try to reduce their expenses, they won't have anything left at the end of the month.
504  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you not gamble on women sports? (tennis not included) on: October 24, 2023, 07:01:05 PM
I do not know if this has been discussed before, but I want to know why most discussions on sports asides tennis is about the men's side of it and the women side is about only barely mentioned. Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors? Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?
There are past threads about the involvement of men and women in gambling but I think this one here is a little different. Now on the question, I think it has to do with the number of games that are available. There are lots of games which are being played by men than women.

Another thing is that women aren't like men when it comes to sports or gambling interests. Lastly, as a men, I think it's kind a gay if I will prefer the women's sports. In terms of chances of winning, I think it was still the same. The game is still being played usually by the two opposing teams or players. Each of them has a hunger to win but doing some analysis might help.

We still don't know that but at least I'm sure Monaco will continue to play well until the end of the season and the transfer window will open and at that time there will also be changes in strength in the teams that are updating their squad. Especially PSG who also want to improve their squad, I'm sure they will provide many surprises in the transfer market next winter.
PSG still has the possibility to dominate in Ligue 1. but Monaco also has a chance if PSG doesn't make immediate improvements this season. and it was Monaco's chance to prevent PSG's dominance.
After nine rounds we have interesting situation in this season with few top clubs are staying out of the top ranks which is surprising specially Lyon at the bottom and Lens in near relegation zone but PSG which is the most powerful club in French League also struggling and have third spot with Monaco at the top and Nice which is only club without any defeat at the second spot most chances this situation will be going for few more weeks or until winter vacation because after this mostly clubs will give their best and try to narrow difference of points which will bring improvement in performance and quality as well which is much needed.

PSG is surely still favorite, but few clubs are giving their best and trying to have something positive which is good sign, but their available sources are not like PSG which will give them better advantage near the end of this season for having better result.

Odds of 1.25 are given for Bayern München's victory tomorrow. I thought it could be lower, but I think this odd is quite good. It's expected that Bayern München will win this match with 4-5 goals. Galatasaray's job is very difficult as there will be no Turkish referee in the match. Also, their most trusted name, Icardi, will not be able to play. It's difficult for them to score with Bakambu. Bayern, on the other hand, has many goal weapons, especially Kane, Sane, Coman and Tel. Bayern München hasn't played Galatasaray since 1972. This match will end the recent debates. We will see who is how strong.
The odds of 1.25 given for Bayern Munich to win are not suitable because Bayern Munich acts as the away team. The odds given for Bayern Munich's victory should be above 1.25.
Bookies may see Galasataray's line-up being without important players such as Icardi and Ziyech. Meanwhile, from the Bayern Munich camp, their performance is in the best form, especially their new striker Kane, who always looks good with the goals he scores.

I don't want this match to end in victory, but I want a draw if Bayern fails to win to give Manchester United a chance in the competition in Group A.
I am surprised with these odds because I check on many sites and mostly having 1.45 to 1.40 because we all know Bayern Munich is playing on road and Galatasaray performance is also very good in last few games which can make things difficult for the Bayern Munich as well but as mentioned if Galatasaray is going to play without their key players then surely this is going to be easy win for the Bavarians which are famous for their ruined business in European competitions.

With most chances I am not sure about Manchester United future for the next round but still we have good time and few matches which can bring good fortunes for them and good chances for the having spot into next round if we have draw then surely this could be helpful for the Galatasaray which will be having 5 points after three games.
507  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: October 23, 2023, 07:10:44 PM
Afghanistan have made a big win and once again registered its presence in the world cup. Bad day for Pakistan, though they scored good they weren't able to defend Afghanistan team with the bowling line-up. One among the expected team had disappointed. On mathematical calculation it is possible, but with this performance they cannot move forward. Really disappointing, because Pakistan is said as the team with the best bowling team before the start, but the performance isn't to the level expected.
Do we call it another upset? Or what we call it. As Afghanistan is also a better Team, they played a massive cricket according to their previous stats. Pakistan has always disappointed its fans, they were the best Team concerning their bowling. And in batting, they mostly didn't perform well in their matches.

But the fans of Pakistan didn't expect this from them as they played cricket today and in their all previous matches, they played very bad cricket. Today their bowling side failed to defend the target and thus they lost the match so easily Team Afghanistan who were considered not too good in this World Cup from the start, suddenly gave them a breakthrough. We will see how Afghanistan in the next matches how they will perform and Pakistan will be very disappointed in their today performance.
Now Pakistani fans have to accept this defeat because now it's part of cricketing history Afghanistan done impressive job and have their first win against their neighbors in this ODI match with this I have to add few things as well Afghanistan is also not consistent side with the nature they are near to Pakistan in inconsistency, but they have good advantage with having top quality spinners which are giving their best against team like Pakistan which is never been good against spinners.

Most chances we will have not good chances against South Africa and Australia with they can win against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka match could be interesting because these both countries recently having good rivalry which is giving good entertainment to cricketing fans and Sri Lankan are also having issues into their bowing as well.
508  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bnb after next 5years on: October 23, 2023, 06:15:30 PM
In the next 5 years we will not see BNB prices below $1k, so now is the cheapest BNB price you can buy before the bullrun occurs, therefore don't miss the current opportunity to buy BNB at a cheap price, because I'm sure when the bullrun occurs, then the price of BNB will increase by at least $3k and during the correction after the bullrun, the price of BNB will never reach below $1k, so this is our opportunity to be able to invest in BNB at a cheap price (under $1k).
Any reason why Binance coin will stay up like that, because to stay in 1k above there must be some good reason because what we are seeing now are some negativities and in regards to being target of the government .but of course CZ will do everything to win against those accusation and take this battle if ever given.but if those cases will not progress then you are correct that we may even see BNB to reach 2k and above .but there are some areas that needs to anticipate so better be ready if you will trust this coin completely.Bull Run is around the corner that there are small time remaining before it happens.
There are a lot of investors that had trust in BNB before but are now keeping their hands away from it after what happened between the SEC and Binance recently, and they will stay away from it as long as things don't settle down for once and for all, so it's true that BNB has a lot of loyal investors for sure. However, there are still people who believe in it, and they think that the current times are the best for investing in BNB because it will surely boom very soon.

So, it basically depends on the level of trust people have in Binance, because the value of the faith of BNB is dependent on the success level of Binance in the long run. If Binance stays on top and steers clear of all the allegations, that will surely be a plus point for BNB but if that doesn't happen, it will have to suffer.
509  Economy / Economics / Re: Is there a formula for Bitcoin starters? on: October 23, 2023, 05:09:01 PM
Starting Bitcoin investment with little capital will be very challenging mostly if that happens to be the major survival option of the investor. And in cases where the investor plans on using the proceed to solve their needs they might end up selling when the price have dropped just to settle the pressing need of that time.

As experienced investors are there measures that can be imbibed by new investors with little capital to help boast their capital. Some will want to mention patience which I will agree to but in situations where the money is needed to meet an emergency need how to you tackle such situations. Your formula might be a saving approach.
There is no formula for that, all you need to do is make sure that the money you are investing in Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency isn't going to be needed anytime soon because it can take time for the market to turn your investment profitable so that you can either sell them all or take some profit and keep the rest. That's why, you shouldn't make any investments if you can't afford to do that and don't invest the money that you might need in the near future.

A lot of people make this mistake, particularly new investors, they invest the only funds that they have at the moment and expect that they will get profits very quickly which might happen on some occasions but it doesn't work like that all the time because the cryptocurrency market is highly unpredictable.

Big win for Galatasaray in the result and for the tournament, but not so good in terms of performance, you cant strugled so much against a team with one men less. Aside of that how many penalties have Galatasaray this season? man every game they receive one.
You made a correct observation, Galatasaray actually uses a penalty kick in almost every match. It would be a little unfair if we said it was only due to the referees. Galatasaray has a very good offensive line and is currently one of the teams that score the most goals. It would not be wrong to say that in some matches they scored extra goals thanks to the referees' decisions Smiley
Here I have to be agreed about few points with now they need to work on improvement in quality instead of going for the poor tactics which are surely going to hurt them in UEFA games in this game they have nearly 10 shots on goal but still manage nothing which is surely embarrassing for them now they have big game against Bayern Munich which is surely a big test for them and here they need to give their best instead of going for the penalties which are surely not going to happen in presence of neutral referee.

Besiktas having early red-card which was surely helpful for them, but they are unable to take any advantage with having second goal through penalty as they have offensive they surely can do the good number of goals without the help of the referee and this could be improved the confidence level of players as well.
511  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should I invest in new projects. on: October 22, 2023, 06:19:46 PM
you should invest to new project but atleast wait 1-2 year after fully shakeout and hitting the bottom, dev still fully cash, and it will pump atleast once
mostly the first wave of rising is pushing really hard and burning almost half of their stash lol, old coin fairly limited budget and the coins it self already spreaded among bag holder,
A project can't be considered new if it's one year old already. A project is new only when it has just been launched and the coin or the token has just started listing on exchanges around the industry, that is the time to make investments in a new project if one wants to do it, but there is a lot of things that one should consider before doing that, the main out of them is to check and evaluate the project thoroughly to at least have a general idea if it's actually a good project and has got some potential.

One can obviously not know whether a project will be successful in the future or not, but if an investor wants to take the risk after doing an overall evaluation and thinking it has some potential, they should go for it with a small investment just to try their luck and if their guess turns out to be correct, they might get good profit out of it.
512  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why Bitcoin is different from other means of investment on: October 22, 2023, 09:30:52 AM
Many of us are confused whether it is really worth investing in Bitcoin. Because most of them don't have much knowledge about this, so sometimes they immediately believe what others say, especially those people who lost money in crypto. That's why some people think that the real state is better because many people are getting rich from this investment because people are really looking for a house. But this investment still has risk because people choose a nice but cheap house. That's why for me it's better to invest in Bitcoin because all you have to do is wait for the price you want before you sell, and the transaction will be done easily.
It is better to ignore those people, as it is obvious that the one that earns money by selling real estate, stocks or bitcoin will praise the asset they use over anything else due to a personal bias, however what makes bitcoin different from other investments is that the amount of money needed is relatively small and there are no stringent requirements, so as long as you have a device which can access the internet and a few dollars you can become a bitcoin investor, something which is not possible with real estate, and depending where you live this may not be possible when it comes to the stock market either.
Since most exchanges have a minimum trade limit, I think it won't be wrong to say that one requires as low as $10 to become a Bitcoin investor. What you said is true, Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies, to me, seem to be the most convenient and affordable investment opportunity the world has ever witnessed. One couldn't think of making an investment of only $10 in something and then also get some profit over time with it because $10 is considered nothing these days.

Most financial and investment markets of the world would require someone to have at least a considerable amount of money to start making investments and getting profits from it, Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies have provided the world with the opportunity to start with as low as they want, starting from just $10.
513  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is doubling your investment more probable than we think? on: October 21, 2023, 07:19:20 PM
I know that these are all pure assumptions, but instead of speculating massive ATH and 3x or 4x returns, which are way too common in the forum, why not expect something that is more probable to happen in the near future? And to be honest, doubling your investment is a great yield that cannot easily be found in other forms of investment.
I agree with that. There is definitely nothing wrong in hoping for more, but having realistic expectations is always the better way to go when you are making investments because, with lower expectations, the possibility of disappointment will be low as well, which means that if you are expecting the price of Bitcoin to hit $100k, you might not sell your assets when it has reached a certain height, like maybe $80k just because you are expecting more, and if it doesn't reach your expected target and starts dropping again, that will be disappointing, for sure.

That's why, I always believe that a person should hope for more, but they should expect less so that they can be satisfied when their expected target is hit and whatever they get on top of that will be a reason for enjoyment for them because then they can think that they have got some bonus with it.
514  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Dogecoin (DOGE) on: October 21, 2023, 06:21:09 PM
Dogecoin has great potential to grow in future as we saw dogecoin at .7$ so it will definitely go back to that point one day and all the holders will get rich someday. Bitcoin investment is best but only when you have high capital amount to invest.
That's kind of wrong. DOGE never went above $0.2 after it was dumped. BTC is still more volatile, you don't have to invest tons of money in it to get profits. Maybe I'm just skeptical about that, but I don't even think that DGOE will reach $1.
I didn't see him mentioning it going to $0.2 or above after the dump, he mentioned $0.7 which was the all-time high of DOGE in the past. And I agree that meme coins don't really hold a lot of potential for growth as they don't have any organic growth and no reason for them to go up except if they are hyped by either an influential individual (in DOGE's case, Elon Musk) or their own community of investors who might try to bring in new investors from social media and other platforms.

That is the primary reason why I'm not a fan of meme coins. Dogecoin, in particular, is better than other meme coins when we talk about the blockchain, its block speed, and transaction fees because it runs on its own blockchain and isn't relying on another blockchain protocol for its transactions and stuff.
515  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: "Lump sum Vs DCA" for Bitcoin Accumulation on: October 21, 2023, 11:21:53 AM
As far as I know — in most cases, lump sum is the way to go assuming you can really just hold and not sell and attempt to buy lower. The sole reason why DCA is heavily recommended is because it makes the 'investor' less susceptible to huge (temporary) drawdowns. Some investors that are down a huge chunk tend to sell their stack to hopefully "buy back lower".
Basically, lumpsum purchases are good if the market is totally at the bottom so that when you buy and the market starts recovering from that point, you will have bought your assets at almost the best price because if you start doing DCA when it's at the bottom and keep buying when it's recovering, you will be getting a bit more expensive price after every purchase because the market will be going up, and that will result in you getting a lower quantity at the end.

DCA is useful when you are not really certain if the market will go up or down at some point and you don't really want to miss the current price point because you think it isn't bad. So, you start buying with a portion of your capital and then keep doing that after a specific interval of it either going up or down.
516  Economy / Speculation / Re: What if there is no crypto bull run for next 10 years ? on: October 20, 2023, 03:10:40 PM
It is difficult for us to predict what would have happened. I expect the price growth would have been slow and stable. This tech would have been full of tech savy people within a small group. New ideas like AI, Web3 would have been developed though big tech companies which eventually led to a loss of interest over previous technologies. The whole altcoin industry wouldn't exist.
The industry would stay alive, and the adoption level would just slow down because most people these days join the industry for the profits they expect to get from their investments, and if they see that there isn't much growth in the market, they wouldn't be interested and will probably look for other ways of making investments and earning money because the world wouldn't stop moving and humankind will keep looking for ways for their own survival for sure.

If we talk about altcoins, I think the top ones will stay, others that don't have strong fundamentals might not be able to survive if there aren't a lot of investors in the market and altcoins are basically dependent on Bitcoin when it comes to their price going up and down and if there won't be much movement in Bitcoin, there wouldn't be much in altcoins as well and most of them might die off.
517  Economy / Speculation / Re: Share your opinion on the market. on: October 19, 2023, 08:08:40 PM
Since 2021 when the price reached an ATH of around $69k, the market now looks difficult to rise, especially since there have been big cases like LUNA and FTX which have made many people afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies, and in my opinion if there are no top influencers like Elon Musk in 2021 then it will be difficult to see the market rising again, and our hope is that perhaps a halving day will occur at the beginning of the year, and if it cannot rise it will be even more difficult in the future.
First of all, the halving event is expected to occur in April, 2024, and that isn't actually the start of the year. And, the market has been down since 2021 because Bitcoin and the whole market move in a cycle, and after the cycle restarted in 2021 when Bitcoin hit its all-time high, it is yet to reach the end of the other cycle which is expected between 2024 and 2025 when the market will rise once again and then the cycle will end again and we will surely see another decline after that.

Unfortunate events such as the crashes like LUNA and FTX affected the movement of the market, for sure, but when that happened, we were already in the bear market those things made it go even deeper than expected, however, it has recovered pretty well from that and all we are waiting for is the beginning of the bull run of this cycle.
518  Economy / Economics / Re: In times of war, Gold rises. What about Bitcoin? on: October 19, 2023, 11:21:33 AM
I've seen Gold market prices rising lately as a result of the current Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Bitcoin hasn't experienced any upsurge in price. It's still hovering around the $26k range. Something similar happened during the Russia-Ukraine war.

Is it because investors still don't trust Bitcoin as a store of value? Or is it something else? Please enlighten me. Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Bitcoin is highly volatile which doesn't make it a good choice for someone who needs to choose a quick store of their wealth. If your country is at war with another, the first thing you would think about is choosing an asset that is quite stable and wouldn't let your wealth lose a lot of value no matter how much time it takes you to withdraw it from there, and Gold is probably the first thing one would think of because of its stable nature and slow growth rate with no much drop in value over time.

It also can be because a lot of people might not know about Bitcoin in places where the war is going on, and gold is way more popular than Bitcoin, all around the globe, so people think of buying Gold with their wealth when they need an investment asset to save their money from devaluing for any reason.
519  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: TrumpCoin - Making Crypto Great Again! on: October 18, 2023, 05:23:38 PM
This is another shitty coin whose team wants to profit from the upcoming presidential elections, in which Trump will obviously take part. If this were true, then Trump would definitely have written about it on his Truth Social page, as he did earlier when NFT with his name were released.
I agree with you, maybe this is one of meme coin that uses the name of Trump if it's not Trump who made it, because the dev wants to make meme coin that he made can hype and popular, so he added the name of Trump, therefore I think it's very risky to invest in this altcoin, because the possibility of this altcoin becoming a shitcoin can happen and of course we can lose our money from investing in this altcoin.
I don't think that Trump will make a crypto so my first impression after seeing the name is it's only just a meme coin. But if let say Trump does it, I still don't think he will name the coin after him as he know that it will only sound like a meme coin and people will hardly believe on it.

Maybe he will only put his name and pic in one of the team members when we visit the coin's website. Like I said earlier, this fits the name meme coin more than altcoin and I think a meme coin can alternatively called as a shitcoin. Now there is no need for you to invest on it only to prove it. Old and known cryptos are maybe down some times but their greatness is still there. So there is no need for any other new crypto.
520  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Trade only Bitcoin on: October 18, 2023, 04:00:04 PM
In the crypto market, trading Bitcoin should be the only option because it is established as a currency and has survived the worst time. On the other hand, Altcoins are not a good option and are riskier to trade due to scams and the risk of whipping out from the market. Trade only the established Alts. In Altcoin trading, the chances of a loss are higher compared to Bitcoin.

Before trading, it is important to acquire a related skill set and expertise because it is very risky, and you might end up losing your money. Knowledge about the investment option is also a must. You must be emotionally strong if you are looking for trading.  
In trading, you need two coins. They are called as a pair. Now, how can we do trading if BTC is the only coin that we want? Maybe if we say investing it is more possible. BTC isn't the only crypto that survived a worst time. So we shouldn't be afraid on picking the others too. We should thank the altcoins because they help BTC to grow evenly. Sometimes, it's not about the coins but it's about the person who trade.

So as per everyone suggests, it's important to learn first: learn everything, starting from the cryptos and how trading works. Having a stable emotion is also important. I think this is something can't be learned in the books. So it's tricky despite being looking to simple.
