Marseille might have their second chance to close the point gap with PSG again this week. Because while they are playing against Clermont, PSG are going to be playing a tough away match against Monaco. Monaco have been one of the problem teams for PSG for a long time. Especially the matches in Monaco have been even more difficult. It isn't all about the strength difference between these teams in the end. We saw how PSG lost to Lens and Rennes both in away matches recently.

Monaco also have the capacity to defeat PSG now. Their being in good shape would also help them become a big trouble for PSG. In Mbappe's absence PSG will be a little weaker. Maybe I might bet on Monaco and see how things go.  Smiley
Marseille already lost their chance for having close to leaders PSG after losing surprising game against Nice at home now things are tough with this all even now they are going to have easy game against Clermont in case of win they will be having 49 points and PSG which is going to face tough opponent Monaco in away match in case of lost still having difference of five points which is good for them because after this week things could be better, and they will be able to fight hard for having better results and Marseille is surely need improvement for staying at this level which is not easy for them.
 
PSG surely having problem in away games specially while their few star players having injuries issue so here in this match they again can face problem and this is surely thing which they need to fix in coming weeks because now we are in tough time of this season which need good performance for staying at top.
522  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Bitcoin Heading Back To $23,000? on: February 10, 2023, 08:28:02 PM
When this topic started, the question was "will it DROP to 23k" now we are aiming at going back to 23k. I think it is clear that sometimes things do not happen the way you want them to happen and we lose so much money because of it. I believe that things may not look to bright as of right now, but there is a good chance that it could go back to being better again in the future.

I think it is quite important to not lose hope and do not give up. If you lose hope and sell then you will regret it when the price starts to go back up again, worst case scenario you would hold your coins longer than you would like to, but it will go back up in the future and you will profit.
The OP asked it because he saw some signs that the rise won't continue further and it seems that he is correct with his predictions because days later, the price fell not only to $23k but it continued to $22k and now it was down to $21k but I am not sure if what you said there is true. Maybe I will only be convinced with that if we already break $22k and more (i.e $22.3k, $22.6k) something like that.

If you are only predicting the price blindly, without doing some analysis then yeah it won't mostly go against your predictions but I guess it's not really a big deal for you because are unlikely doing trades with that kind of knowledge you have.
523  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: why people are always interested in altcoins on: February 10, 2023, 02:52:24 PM
Due to the desire to make high profits, people prefer altcoins, that's all. Some altcoins can carry themselves higher in price, investors think that there is value in this risk. It also has to do with the total volume, if you have a high volume, you can move forward with slower movements in bitcoin by protecting your money, I still think that it would not be possible without altcoins, even if your volume is large.
Why what about Bitcoins? Before the altcoins came, people sought a big pump in Bitcoin. If only they entered early then they can also earn massively but it's never too late yet to invest in Bitcoin. Now can still be a good time because the market is still on its way for recovery.

I believe that people got hooked on alts not mainly because of the profit potential but because alts have an interesting feature which ain't found in Bitcoin. One of it is of course, the ability to create and interact with the smart contracts. BTC volume is high even if there are already an altcoin on the side but if there are no altcoins, this volume can grow even more because it will get all the demand.

It was a win that should have been for Juventus, and I don't think they should loss points to Salernitana.
There were some doubts about Juventus due to their lack of form, but they have answered that with a maximum of 3 points at the Arechi Stadium. It was a much expected win having lost 8 points before the match against Salernitana.

And now, Juventus must force himself to play well for the rest of the season and try to win a ticket to another competition next season. They're not in a good position yet to be hoped for, but they have the opportunity to continue to improve.
After troubling three weeks they back in their business which is surely good development because most chances now things are normal for them, and they are trying to settle themselves for having better end of this season while they have no fair chance for the top four spots but still they can achieve some better results which will help them in copaitalia and Europa Cups as well because these are good chances for them to have some honour in this difficult situation which bring them down from 3 to 10 now next challenge is Fiorentina and after few days they are going to host Nantes if they are able to have good ends in these both matches then surely fans can feel positive about their good end of this season.

I think the problem from which Brazil suffers is not related to the quality of players, as Brazil always produces new talents and exports them to the world. The problem lies in the coaching and team managing mentality. If you look at European teams, you will find a mutual factor between all of them, which is the seriousness and commitment on the field, and that is what Brazil misses, in my opinion. Remembering the last match for them in the World Cup, they received a goal in the very late minutes because some players left their roles and followed their emotions, while Croatia didn't give up and played until the last minute of the match.
Talking about the coaching problem, I guess the Brazil football federation don't recommend a non-Brazilian coach, but after all these disappointments, they may consider signing a European coach, as there's enough time to make some changes in the mentality before the next World Cup.
Surely we all know about Brazilian quality but right now things are not working for them with last time they won in 2002 after this they are facing humiliations as well and their player's coordination is also now biggest problem for them with quality is still amazing and talent is also unanimous with this all now if Brazilian Soccer Federation wants to have better results then surely they can bring this rule even just for experiment and hire any coach from European Union for the next four years and then check the change because most chance they will be improved and having better changes which will help them for having another good time in soccer for their country.

A good start.

It's good to know that you know what you needed to do in order to be profitable in futures trading. You're on the right path, testing out options you see available with a small amount of money to see the results. Though, trading signals from someone you know might not be the best thing, you just got out from your comfort zone as you say but relying on someone's technical analysis won't let you grow.

So you need to stop that and make your own technical analysis. Don't rush yourself, like expecting to have a very good technical analysis when you're just a newbie. It takes time, you have to be emotional, mentally, and financially prepared before proceeding in a big capital in trading.
No, he was still a beginner and there is still no assurance if he will be profitable in the long run or not but whatever the results would be, that's okay. What important for now is he get out of his comfort zone and try something new. Post like this are great to encourage others who are scared in futures trading to do the same.

I think physically prepared is also needed other than the three that you mentioned there because once we suffered from them it also have an impact to our physical health. Did you notice that when we are stressed, we feel tired? But we can combat it when doing physical exercise regularly and eating healthy foods which can also improve how we think and helps normalize our emotions.
527  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 09, 2023, 09:09:42 PM
The intention to stop gambling certainly always crosses everyone's mind. It's just that it can't be done in a nutshell. Once again I say that maybe stopping gambling is not a solution, but if we divert or change the perspective of gambling as just a game then the risk of addiction will not be too bad. Most of those who are addicted clearly cannot bring themselves to stop no matter how strong the result is nil.

Personally, even though I have been gambling for years, it feels like I can still control what I want. For example, whether there is money or not, I still have no guilt if I don't gamble. The key to it all is self-awareness and always thinking of everything as mere entertainment. Take control of gambling and you don't have to force yourself to stop.
There must be people who only gambles for fun. They can use gambling as one of the ways to relieve their stress and not expecting something big like doubling or tripling their money so there is no way that they will stop gambling. For those who thinks has a problem with it already, how can they stop it if they won't act?

I think the reason why it's hard is because they are afraid of letting it go but if they will find alternatives and learn to appreciate it, then it it's always possible to quit gambling for good. You are gambling for years so you already have woken up from the truth that you can't make unlimited amounts in gambling but those who are just getting started are the ones who still got screwed with it.

Emotional decisions never benefit anyone. I am 99.99% sure that India would refuse to participate in Asia Cup, if it is being held in Pakistan. Therefore the only option left for the PCB is to move the tournament to a neutral venue. They can conduct the tournament without India, but then ACC will lose more than 75% of the expected earnings form this edition. And what they can do about it? Obviously boycotting the ODI World Cup in India is an option. But the cost will be too huge for the PCB and they will be unable to afford it. My advice to them is to stay low until the opportunity arrives. Let BCCI do whatever it want for now.
I agree as it is not good time for PCB, so they have to give up and just go as things are going with most chances they will not get any compensation from ACC as well because if they allow this all then there is no problem to playing in Pakistan here Jay Shah and company have no softer corner for Pakistan and their situation so better for the PCB just go ahead with new venue for the Asia Cup and also talk with ICC about Visas and security of the Pakistan team in India while they will be in this country for the world cup and if they agreed about this all then surely they have to go India for the world cup and give their best which is currently important for their cricket and better future of the game.

I was wondering in winter transfer window why Real Madrid doesn't try to signing new strikers because i think if Real Madrid bought at least one player probably they will solved this problem
They do need new players in their ranks. For example, there are some speculations about Asensio leaving the club for Arsenal at the end of his contract. If he does make the move to Arsenal, they would need to find someone to replace him. Also, it’s in my opinion that the management start looking for a replacement for Luka Modric and Toni kroos. They’re still good players; just not as good as they used to be. The replacements, if any should be of solid quality. Their situation would improve if they acquire new players and not having to rely on a certain few to score goals.
Most of the time Real Madrid goes with their own policy about buying new players which is good with in summer now they are going in search for the new players like Jude Bellingham and few reports are saying they can go for the Victor Osimhen and few other players are also in their radar but how things will go for them, it's not clear and what is Ancelotti strategy no one can any prediction about this as well because with current performance and injuries they are out of the race for the title and their chances into Champions League are also not good because their attack is not working as this was doing in last season and in early rounds of this season which is surely matter of worry and consistently Karim Benzema injury is creating problems, but they have done nothing it's also surprising as well.

2-0 for Juventus in the 1st half, a solid performance with a good Vlahovic.

He is back and we can feel him, stong and sharp.
After watching first half performance look like Allgeri's leadership is working for them, and they are trying their best for regrouping themselves and having better results in coming matches because this is the most important part of the season specially after having 15 points deduction as things were going down there was chance they could be not able to fight back and having better results, but suddenly things are changing, and they are doing impressive job. Even now they are out of top six but as top ranks are also on decline in performance we can expect Juventus can go for the sixth spot and have chance of next year's UEFA event chance which could be ideal end of this season after this big punishment's.
531  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 07, 2023, 06:55:02 PM
Two decades ago, totals of 300+ were very rare in ODI matches. Out of 10-20 games, you may get one match where the team batting first would make a total of more than 300. And team chasing down targets of 300+ successfully were extremely rare. Now we have 350+ as the average total in ODIs that are played across the subcontinent. And it is not rare to see teams successfully chasing down targets of 350. Bowlers get smashed all over the park. So much so that it is starting to get repetitive. When something happens so often, it loses it's charm.
Things are going to be not fair right now, and we have to bring some better solution even it's all not possible in quick time with most chances as I mentioned many times we need to do few positive decisions for the development of this game and work on two formats with have few changes for the associate country's development as well because current situation is not favourable for all members it's giving benefit too few and many are having not ideal situation with losing funds and market as well.

In past mostly we have matches like these in subcontinent, but now we have big scores like these in SENA as well and batting is coming easy with bowling options are now needed to be also flexible as well which bring some competition and better performance of the bowlers as well surely results like these and batting like this is not favourable for this format.

Reactoonz.
That crazy chubby streamer pulled me into playing this game. I cannot find him anymore but it was one of the popular streaming reactions in slots where his multiplier exploded. After that, I tried it myself and got hooked on it.
I haven't got any good big win just yet and I do play occasionally now since I am more focused on sports betting.
But I do promise that whoever tried this game will also get absorbed by it and will definitely play for a long period. The combos are the ones that I always look forward to and it's hard to stay away from the game.
I think it's normal for a streamer to get a high multiplier in any games that they play because man, they have a huge bankroll plus they can also be sponsored by the casino. We never knew what if the casino rig the game for them only to entice the viewer? But the moment they get their hands on it, the results are going to be different.

It doesn't mean people will quit or blame the streamer but they will keep on coming back to try again. Like you for example you are already hooked on the game. Overall, there are still a fun element there even if there is no winnings involved but it's important to use only money that we can afford to lose.
533  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 07, 2023, 11:49:04 AM
Leipzig - Union Berlin is a game that is not easy to predict the result of. Leipzig might seem like the favourite side for the win but it isn't that simple to me.

Because I believe bookmakers are underestimating Union Berlin too much. Union Berlin's odd for the win is too high now. I might even think of giving them a chance. Because they are technically in a better condition than Leipzig at the moment. I expect both teams to play an effective attacking game though. But it is risky to add Leipzig win to a parlay in my opinion. The other option might be both teams to score.
No doubt this is going to be the toughest game with prediction is not easy for who is going to win but with current level of performance and quality both are equal which is good, but Leipzig is surely going to have home advantage which is mostly working good for them, and they can do better with most chances they can win from here which could be good for them but in case of draw then surely Borussia Dortmund is going to have advantage as they could be jumped from third to second which is more interesting.

Leipzig is having better attack and their defense is also giving them good support in last few matches, but Union Berlin is still needing some more strength as they are relatively had issues in their attack.

My guess was to declare after collecting more than 560. But West Indies declared the innings after losing 6 wickets for 447 runs. Apart from the two openers, none of the West Indies batsmen can play well. The collection of the two openers was 389 runs. However, the performance of the Zimbabwean players is quite good. The pitch is completely batting friendly. Zimbabwe scored 113 runs for the loss of two wickets. But my guess is that Zimbabwe can score 250 runs at most. And West Indies will win the match.
There is no life in this pitch just because of this we have grand slam innings from the West Indian openers, and they are able to score 447, but now their bowlers are experienced and can do better than Zimbabwean bowlers if they are able to take early wickets then surely we can expect result in this match because now we have around 190 overs left in next two days plays and match situation can go into West Indian favour even it's just prediction but still can happen because Zimbabwe batsmen are not experienced like West Indian batsmen, and they can take good advantage of this all so now all depend on tomorrow first session how things will help and how these both teams will perform in this match which is surely waste of time and energy because no one on ground and nothing positive thing happening about this all just West Indians improving their record.
535  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin can be banned or stopped by governments on: February 06, 2023, 06:58:23 PM
Indian government (maybe other also)  say that " to ban cryptocurrency we need global help" my question is : can bitcoin be banned if all government will agree to ban bitcoin
If governments could ban Bitcoin they would have done it a long time ago as they want now. They don't really want to ban bitcoin, but rather want to regulate.

If you mean the ban imposed by the government of India and the regulations starting to re-enforce “Cryptocurrency and Legal Digital Currency Bill Regulations 2021”. So what exactly do they want to ban cryptocurrencies and create regulations. The answer is I think "Project self launch digital eye" and most countries prohibit and make regulations just for this purpose. If you look further, almost all countries don't really ban cryptocurrencies, they just want to regulate and control them like fiat.
Some governments have already done that long time ago and some of them have also gone through several phases of unbanning and banning Bitcoin. Now the status of Bitcoin is that many countries or governments rather have embraced it. They have already proven that Bitcoin wasn't really a scam or bad but it can be an asset to help them and their country to improve.

Bitcoin being a decentralized crypto could mean that there is no way for any governments to regulate it and maybe that is the reason why they just banned it directly. Right now, governments do only come up with their own crypto which is called CBDC which they can regulate easily.

Both India and Pakistan are not in a good position on the Safest countries list to live. For a long it is something fixed with Pakistan as a country that is not secure. The recent tour by New Zealand and other countries have made the statement wrong. The bomb blasts are still continuing and the economic situation is at its worst. While sending the team, the government will think of different things. Here we can't blame anyone for the decision of not to send team India for the Asia Cup.
After reading too many posts in this thread I have feeling we need to stop this all because we are nothing to talk about this all with nothing change going to happen in both countries policies which are having no space for each other just because of this most chances Asia Cup will be moved from the Pakistan and most chances Pakistan cricket team will also visit India for the ODI World Cup 2023 because if they will choose against this surely they have face consequences which are not good for them in current time no other board will give them any favour, and they can face backlash with their decision because this is not right time for doing things like these but what are they feeling and how they will handle things no one know right now just wait one more month and then all will be clear about this all because most chances in early days of March all will be clear and this all shit talk will be ended.
537  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: How I decided to buy some fractions of BTC after discussion with members here on: February 05, 2023, 09:18:02 PM
This is not a competition about who can bring as many bitcoins as possible so why rush and think of this as competition because indeed in this condition rush is also something that will indeed impact you later.
Thinking that is mature and doesn't need to be forced into something that is good enough to do in my opinion. DCA every week is very good but if we really can't do that then it's better to rearrange another strategy and maybe be able to do it in some good conditions or maybe once every month with the money you actually set aside.
Often times we see tons of people even creating threads about going into debt to buy bitcoins. I think even though it is their right, this can be categorized as one thing that hasty and actually gets them into trouble in the end.

This is an investment for the long term and currently there is still time to continue to add to the portfolio but this must also be adjusted to our conditions so we don't push ourselves too much.
As the famous quote say "life is a journey, not a competition " so there is no need for us people to regret and there must be a valid reason on why we haven't engaged on some things before but it's never too late to start again if we want to. The best thing about Bitcoin is that its value is not stable.

Meaning we can still buy it cheaply once it goes down and of course it won't remain like that but recovery and increases can also come along the way. This is where we sell our coins for profit. So, there is no need to FOMO and buy when BTC is increasing because the increase isn't guaranteed but we should wait if we can't do a DCA due to financial issues.

At least for these 2 matches you did the same as I did. Monaco is now done and it's an easy win in my opinion and of course the odds are favorable.
But indeed for Lorient we failed at the bet. They still can't make the performance as before and the statistics of their last 5 matches have made Lorient now thrown into 7th position.
Lorient is surely having one of the worst time as once they were fighting hard for the top three ranks and now down to seventh with their performance which is on decline and in last five games they have five points with just one win and their defense issue is surely hurting them badly which is surely needs to fix otherwise they can go down and having spot out of the top ten is surely not good for them after having ideal start of this season and good results in first half of this season.

In today match many hopes on them as they are going to play against bottom rank team, and they will try to take good advantage of this but still fail and having goalless draw mean they are falling down and have no fair chance to fight back for the next few weeks as well.

Wolfsburg : Bayern München 2:4

bayern münchen are back in full force. they won today's match in wolfburg 4:2 and are well on the way to becoming german football champions again. 
2 x Coman ,Mueller and Jamal Musiala scored the goals for bayern. Kaminski and Svanberg scored for wolfsburg. bayern are now one point ahead of union berlin.
One player's arrival is going to have big impact on Bayern Munich team's performance in first match they destroy Mainz by 0 - 4 and now today they have done amazing job against Wolfsburg and again have same score like 2 - 4 which mean now we have giants back in their business even now difference is just one point but with these results we have Bayern Munich can still go through without any problem in next week we have Leipzig vs Union Berlin which is also interesting game and this will be beneficial for the Bayern Munich because if Union Berlin lost or draw difference could be widened, and they will feel better with Dortmund can claim second spot and difference will be three points but if they won which is not easy then surely things could be on level, and we will have just one point difference which will give good fight for the top teams.
540  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 05, 2023, 05:03:09 PM
I wonder how Spurs will play their home game against Man City... Bookmakers are giving odds of 4.5 for Spurs to win... Man City have not won three games in a row away from Spurs... After their defeat in January, I think Spurs will put up a fight in the return leg... Although Man City are playing great, I don't think they'll win tonight...
The kick off starts now and looking at the first 5 minutes of this game it seems that City really intend to kick off at the start and now they want to control possession as usual.
Both teams played with their full squad in this match and of course that is a good thing because indeed with things like this it can be seen how their intention is to want points in this match.
I am also watching this match and look like Manchester City wants ruin Tottenham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but history and things are not favouring them because at home they have good record, and today they will try their best for having positive result specially after losing match against Manchester City with having lead of 0 - 2 at half-time and then lost by 4 - 2 on 20th January if today we have won for the home side then surely it's going to be good for them and surely challenging situation for the Newcastle United as they will be having just one point difference and their performance is also not favouring them for staying into top four, but we can expect good interesting competition for the top spots while all teams are giving their best.

Edit: Harry Kane give early lead to Tottenham look like we can have another upset game in Premier League if they keep momentum like this until end, right now we are in 20th minute.
