The 2 points dropped by Juventus this round when they played in front of Genoa were expensive and allowed Inter to get these 4 points advantage.
The other top teams also advanced in the ranking this round except Roma that allowed Bologna, Napoli and Fiorentina to jump above them in the ranking after losing their match against Bologna itself..
This is a bad match for Juventus and they could do it better and losing 2 points in a not too big match this way is very harmful for their chance to compete for Scudetto with Inter Milan.

The stats shows that Juventus actually have problems with their attacking and they can win minimally but this is dangerous in matches they fail to score even one goal for getting three points. Chiesea is back but Vlahovic lost his best form already.

It's now extra time and it's true that with 10 men and with Inter's strength not weakening in the slightest it's going to be difficult for Lazio and they'll have to drop points at home this week.

Inter are still superior and with the result they received in this match, they are still very comfortable with a 4 point difference from Juventus who are in second place. In addition, Lautaro also further distanced himself from the top scorer competition this season because with the 1 goal he scored in this match, he was away from the pursuit of other players in the top score.



The difference of 6 points is now too much, especially when his rival is Sassuolo players Berrardi. But the good thing this season is that some of the top scoring candidates this season are dominated by Inter and Milan players Cheesy
This season seems to be a season for Lautaro Martinez as he is actually on fire in Serie A. He was a key attacking player of Inter Milan recent seasons but this is a best one he has for Inter Milan. Inter Milan also get benefit from a surprising performance of Marcus Thuram who successfully replaces Romelu Lukaku.

In the best scorer race, Lautaro has good gaps with other scorers on the sheet and Berradi is not a type of too goal productive players so in a long run, I believe he will not be able to compete with Lautaro. Giroud is too old already and it's hard to think he can win over Lautaro.

No goal was happening during the match and this is very disappointed result for me to be honest. Liverpool has got everything needed to win against manchester united started from the ball possession combined with the total goal attempts.
This is very bad result for liverpool. I thought that liverpool would score like the last season but i was wrong. Liverpool was missing an opportunity to win against manchester united. Liverpool looked like a strong club but MU was using everything to defense from any attack by liverpool.
Liverpool totally dominated the match and they wasted so many opportunities to beat Manchester United. Klopp was right, as he said before the match, such big win like the past season, won't occur too often. He was right about that but this draw is certainly a disappointed result for him and Liverpool, they did wanted to win it to continue a title race.

Manchester United were very luckily to get one point from Liverpool and their midfield and attacking systems look very useless in this match. Only defense efforts and luckiness helped them to get one point.

Mark my words.

This will the last year of Guardiola at Manchester City-

He will take a break after imho.
Pep is smart and if we see a down performance of Manchester City, Pep understands about his squad better than us. He is like Zidane, will take a break after a massive success and will not want to take risk to damage his career and previous success.

He has one advantage to leave, his contract will be expired after this season and it pluses with current issues, down performances of Manchester City, he has no reason to stay in the club.

If your point is to make people know which mixer is good and which mixer is scam, you don't have to worry because we have dedicated thread for it. The @OP just need to remove the hyperlink and it's already fine.
It is more like a discussion about allowing a continuation of mixer signature campaigns in Bitcointalk, not about discussions on mixers.

Most of crypto casinos are asking KYC, it's not possible to hide your identity through centralized casino. Banning on casinos are high unlikely to happen because casinos are still legal, it's need either casino is illegal or Bitcoin is illegal, then crypto casinos and even this forum will be closed too.
Most of casinos ask KYC on their users but not all but with common KYC on casinos, they are not targets of banning on signature campaigns now and even in future.

If banning casinos because of money laundering on those platforms, all centralized exchanges and even bigger than those, the whole cryptocurrency industry will be at risk of completely ban. Even with fiat currencies, banks, are they successful to have barriers to block all money laundering through fiat currencies and banks?

No, they failed. Hence, asking for a better practice from cryptocurrencies, centralized exchanges, casinos is impossible and unfair.

I see Google Translation tool was improved a lot and it works very well nowadays, much better than years ago. I say it about two sides, from non-English language to English and from English to non-English language. I really don't know why you have big problems with this tool today.

It does not work perfectly but I see it does better jobs than many people who do manual translation if they don't are not English proficient and don't have good translation skills.

Better safe than sorry right? Why would you want to risk the forum for a few bucks in a signature campaign? Legal or not, why take the risk? Not sure where there is any reason to think twice about it honestly.
The forum is not all about signature campaign and without signature campaign, the forum will continue its operation and live discussions. Without risk from governments, theymos can shut down all signatures if he wants.

I completely agree that the forum should not take risk by allowance for mixers and mixer signature campaigns and in return, the forum can be shut down.

The forum does not get income from signature campaigns but forum members do. However, without mixer signature campaigns, there are other campaigns for forum members too so this big call is not the end of forum member to find jobs and get income from campaigns.

Yes, it is possible, and I see that some mixer campaigns have changed their marketing method, but the final blow will be to ban casinos, as this industry, in addition to mixers, represents about 90% of signature campaigns, and then most visits to the forum will be severely reduced, and we may see a very limited number of signature campaigns.
I don't see that risk for casinos that accept cryptocurrencies. Cryptocurrency accepted casinos have their licenses and they are similar to centralized exchanges and they can follow laws, regulations. Mixers are different, they don't want to register license or follow laws but I honestly don't know any guide from government to register a mixer service to get a license.

Maybe one reason for the weak performances we saw from Manchester City was the absence of their player Kevin De Bruyne. However it's not good for any team to be dependent to a payer even if he is experienced and skilled like Kevin De Bruyne, but I think if Kevin De Bruyne returns to the squad in Manchester City we can see better performance from this team.
According to some news, Kevin De Bruyne couldn't play for Manchester City until the end of the 2023 but since they put his name in the lot for the club's World Cup there is a chance for this player to return even sooner.


Kevin is very important with Manchester City because he is one of best key makers with so many assist in Premier League. His absence does affect Manchester City performance in attacking but he is old and surely will have more issues with injuries. They must prepare for a day no longer has contribution from Kevin and this season can be a start of this. As a big and rich club, with abundant money for player transfer, they will have more advantage to find a replacement for Kevin. I don't say it is easy but they have to do it and will have to adapt to his absence.

Not a complete lost, but they lost 2 points because they failed to keep the game after leading 2-0 in the first 55 minutes. It is obvious that many people lost their money if they placed a bet on City to win the game. Not really sure why but maybe missing Haaland give too much effect for the whole team. They created 19 goals attempts with 9 shots on goal but only 2 became goals. Something different may happen if there was Haaland in the field but unfortunately he is injured.
Manchester City clearly have a considerable decrease in their performances after the last massively successful season but this season is still long and they have enough time to improve and come back to compete for Premier League title. It is not too late for them to comeback but they must change and improve themselves as it is most important factor for their chance in the title race.

In this match, it's very disappointed to lose the big advantage like this and even with Haaland, I am not sure they will score more goals because the striker has his own problems in this season too.

The challenging thing for Inzaghi in this season is about their player Cuadrado.
Inter Milan will need to hire a right-back during the winter because their player Cuadrado is injured and he needs to have surgery soon which means he won't be able to play for a long time and this can be challenging for Inter Milan and their coach Inzaghi to find a replacement for Cuadrado.
Cuadrado joined Inter Milan for from from Juventus and now Inter Milan should spend money to hire another right back for the rest of this season.


Cuadrado is an old player and Juventus had reasons to let Cuadrado moves to Inter Milan. Without this serious injury, Inter Milan must know that they can not use the player as their main player for too long. They already experienced it with Edin Dzeko who is playing as alternatives for Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez. Even in the last season, when they went to a final match in Champions League, Dzeko plays his role as an alternative player only.

This injury is bad for the player Cuadrado and Inter Milan because at his age, it will take longer time for recovery and he even might not return to his best form after the injury.

Again it seems the superstar player of Barcelona Lewandowski got another offer from Saudis and it is time they offered a 150 million offer to this Polish player of Barcelona but Lewandowski rejectted the offer to stay in Barcelona for a longer time, which means Lewandowski is still not interested in leaving his team to saudi arabia even a huge amount of money.
However, I think even Barcelona is still trying to keep Lewandowski and they are not interested in losing him any time soon.

 

https://barcauniversal.com/barcelona-superstar-rejected-e150-million-bumper-offer-from-saudi-wants-to-see-out-contract-at-club/
At the age of Lewandowski and with his past success in Europe, he has many reasons to leave Barcelona and Europe to join Saudi Professional League. If Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Mane, Neymar could make such big decisions for their career, Lewandowski can make a same important decision. It is hard to reject those lucrative offers from Saudi Professional League clubs when Robert has only some years to play before his retirement.

Barcelona will let him go if they receive enough money to rebuild their squad with new strikers who are younger than Lewandowski or even can use those money to improve other positions like midfield or defensive positions.

- There have been 3 halvings, and in all of them the BTC price was insignificant compared to what it is today. Am I the only one who thinks that it is premature to speak of a pattern when something only happened 3 times before, and in completely different price ranges? Buying 1 BTC was realistic for many people before the first 3 halvings. Now that is no longer the case.
It was easier to buy 1 BTC in past years, past 3 halvings, but it was harder to hold those bitcoins years ago. Because bitcoin was not too valuable years ago and people were less seriously about holding their bitcoins.

Now, you have more difficulty to accumulate 1 BTC but you will have more reasons to hold your bitcoins.

On chain stats shows that more holders have been accumulating bitcoin in last few years.

Or perhaps you've lost your charm, and you're looking for a good pickup line; this new Bitcoin ad will help you find girlfriends (boyfriends) during the upcoming bull run.
I don't like this idea.

If you want to find a boyfriend or a girlfriend, then a wife or a husband, you will not want to find a person who comes to you only because of money, because your are rich. That relationship will not end with a happy ending because life is never smooth and even you continue to be rich, a person who comes to you not because of love, will not stay with you forever.

This is one of a most weird and in my opinion, stupid idea.
572  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 15, 2023, 02:40:10 AM
I think AC Milan has a small chance to chase Inter and Juventus. AC Milan played inconsistently during this season, they no longer played well like the previous season. In the previous season, AC Milan can compete with some teams for the runner up position. But this season, I think AC Milan only has the chance to finish in 3rd place. Inter and Juventus look in a different level this season, they could play more consistent than other teams in Serie A. If Juventus and Inter Milan don't experience bad things like injury players, I'm sure these teams will stay in the top of Serie A standings until the end of this season.

Yes, the point gap is 7 points. It won't be easy for AC Milan to shorten the point gap. Moreover, Juventus looks very stable in playing, they are unlikely to miss points against smaller teams.
They have chance, small but not too small and we have to count a big factor that AC Milan will no longer play any more match in Champions League. After the group phase in Champions League ends, AC Milan ends their group at the third position and will play two play off matches with a club in Europa League. Even they will a winner from play-off and go next, matches in Europa League will be less pressure than in Champions League. It gives AC Milan more time to focus on Serie A matches and they can use it to chase Inter Milan and Juventus.

Juventus of course has biggest advantage by only playing in Serie A while Inter Milan will have most difficulties as they will play in Champions League.

Yep. Leverkusen performed perfectly, they win all the matches in the group stage. No other teams could win all the matches, including Liverpool and Roma. In the early competition, we hope Liverpool and Roma will perform well as Leverkusen, but they seem not in their best form. So, we can assume that Leverkusen is the most favorite team to win this competition because they look to play consistently until the end of this competition.
Leverkusen and Liverpool will not have to play two play-off matches but AS Roma will have to join play-off with a club drops out from Champions League. They finally got a big win against Sheriff but it was too late and they only ended their group at the second position.

We have to wait till play-off round ends before discussing more about best candidates for the winner of Europa League in this season. Even it is too soon but it is better to start discussions about it when we know about all clubs that will participate in Europa League knock out phase.

Leverkusen and Liverpool look to be strong and best candidates for this race but a general picture can be changed when some big clubs from Champions League join Europa League.

I did not use Bybyt and Unified Trading account on Bybyt but I have opinion after reading their information about it.

Bybyt Unified Trading Account is like all in one with Isolated Margin, Cross Margin, Portfolio Margin. With those types, they will charge you trading fees when you let your positions open and open longer, you will have to pay more trading fees.

Do you think if you let your position opens for 2 months, will the increase of that token price be enough to cover your trading fee?

With margin, you might be in a hilarious situation. You hold ETH and use it as your margin collateral but when you see ETH rises a lot, you open a Short position. The funny but painful story is here: ETH rises, your portfolio value increases but you are in loss and can be liquidated with your Short position.

Tragic with Newcastle United appearance in Champion League, first time participants after absent for longer time they have eliminated from group stage and difficult to raise top third standings as position for qualifying to Europe League. Last season, Newcastle United have quit well impressive performance and success become big four of Premier League. Bad first appearance in Champion League have been get difficult drawing group with PSG, Milan and Dortmund are teams with much experienced playing in UCL.
I believe Newcastle United knew that this season is like a golden chance for them to enjoy Champions League and consider it as motivation for their players to play better in Premier League and join Champions League more times in future. They began this group with a draw against Dortmund but their ending is not surprise. It is only big surprise if they can surpass PSG, AC Milan or Dortmund to be one of two best teams in this group.

Quote
Wining one of six matches is bad achievement for Newcastle United actually have good started their participants, success taken one points first away match against AC Milan and winning on home match from PSG but Newcastle United performed drop drastically for several matches left until have eliminated from Champion League.

Latest standing Champion League Group F


They could do it better and get more points if they can secure their defense better. If they can beat PSG than a draw 1 - 1, they will be eligible for Round of 16, not PSG.

Newcastle United match details show that they only had bad performances when playing against Dortmund. With AC Milan and PSG, they actually had some opportunities to finalize those matches as winnings.

How do these companies know you pasted their html in your signature and that they should pay you? Do they pay a fixed amount per post or a fixed amount per week? How much do they pay on average for each rank? Or is it not the rank but the merit which determines your income
They must have budgets when starting their business that can be big or small.

To run a business, they need to do marketing and signature campaign is one of marketing types that can be run by a Bitcoin, cryptocurrency platform. It can be a waste of money if it brings no or low effects to the company. It is helpful if they see good effects from the campaign.

If you see a campaign starts and stops shortly, it means the company sees it not right financially for to do this more.
Oppositely, if a campaign is run very long, it means something actually are good for the company and they decide to run it in a long time. No deep budget can serve it if no good effects in return.

With Sevilla bot in the Europa League, we can now push focus to another big side maybe Liverpool, Bayern Leverkusen and Marseille who are all doing very well. I would rather see Bayern Leverkusen making sacrifices for the Bundesliga than the Europa League Competition.
Bayern Leverkusen shouldn't slack with the chase of the Bundesliga League Competition they have all the chances to win, I wouldn't want to see them bottling the cup at the eleventh hour.
Sevilla will not have chance to defend their Europa League title because with a fourth position in their Champions League group, they have to go home, without any gift to derank to Europa League.

With the absence of Sevilla, other clubs will see more light to win Europa League as in the past season, Sevilla looked to be weaker and got very poor results in La Liga but not sure somehow they won Europa League in surprise of all. DNA in Europa League, destiny, mentality becomes stronger when they play there, honestly I can not answer those questions.

Liverpool looks to be a best one in this list and Klopp is more experienced than coaches in Leverkusen and Marseille.

Quote
I'd be supporting Galatasaray, they play good football amd have better quality players than Copenhagen, I think they just didn't make good use of them chances. Sevilla are specialist of this competition, if they get qualified, I'm sure they'll win the competition or get to reach the finals.
Galatasaray can go a little bit far in Europa League but first they must be a winner in the coming play-off matches. After that, they can go a bit further but I don't believe Galatasaray have enough resources and strength to win Europa League.

This is a deserving outcome for their dismal performance. This might be the most disappointing version of Manchester United for me since I started watching football. Watching them play against Bayern at Old Trafford, I feel heartbroken for the previous generations who put in so much effort to build a strong and stable reputation for Man Utd among the fans. However, it seems that Ten Hag and his mess are destroying it all. They play vulnerably and lack the essence of a big team. Loyal fans are turning away, as evidenced by many supporters leaving before the match even ends. It's truly sad for the current state of Manchester United.
Manchester United must be serious with their internal problems and if they can succeed to analyze their failures internally and most important to see what's wrong with their development strategy, they will figure out ways to change their strategies and come back. Because they had a bad strategy, coaches and players came and went away but could not help them achieving big things. Lot of money spent in the last ten years but Manchester United now look like a small club with very limited budget for transfers and salary. It's seriously wrong and a big failure.

Real Madrid's record and performance in the Champions League are truly admirable, and they rightfully hold the title for the team with the most championships in this competition. Over the past few seasons, we've witnessed Real not performing well in domestic leagues, but when it comes to the Champions League, they present a different face, standing as an indomitable monument that is hard to surpass in this tournament.
Real Madrid are the King in Champions League and they hold the record of Champions League. Most won titles there and the only champion that successfully defended the crown, not only one time but two times with their winning streak last for 3 seasons with Zinedine Zidane.

In Champions League, Real Madrid have a DNA of winners and they usually play better than their temporary form in their domestic league La Liga. Other clubs probably feel more fearful than usual when the opponent is Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo has just reached his 50th goal in 2023 and this was achieved when he contributed with the 1 goal he scored when Al-Nassr played against Al-Shabab in the Kings Cup competition. A big win for Al-Nassr not only made them qualify for the next round but also made Cristiano Ronaldo continue to set new records and I think he will still continue to score goals before this year ends.

It is possible that this year will end with 55 to 60 goals and if that really happens then that is the reason why he is called one of the GOATs and wherever he is he can still score lots of goals. Age is just a number for Cristiano Ronaldo and he will continue to do the same thing until he feels he is done. Nothing is impossible for Cristiano Ronaldo and he is a football star who has made the Saudi league even more famous until now.
Scoring goals at his age is amazing performance already and scoring many goals like this is unbelievable. Is he a first player who can score like 50 goals within a single year? I did not know any old player can score too many goals like Cristiano Ronaldo when they were already 38 or 39 years old.

He had a very bad beginning in the last season, then a bad World Cup 2022 but after that he returned very strongly. I used to think Cristiano already hits his physical limit after his poor performance during World Cup 2022 but what he has done in 2023 is simply a strong evidence that he is still one of best players in the world. GOAT or not GOAT, a player just under the GOAT, is not a big matter for Cristiano Ronaldo. He has been making records and history which will all stop when Cristiano Ronaldo announces his retirement.
