I know a lot of people are quite hopeful about Rafael Nadal. But I do not think that is going to be a good idea because he is not in his prime anymore. It is going to be very hard for him to actually achieve something from this tournament.

Another big problem is, he is facing quite a lot of injuries in recent times. I honestly do not think that he will be able to compete against the likes of Novak Djokovic and Alcaraz in this tournament.
With the latest injury things are looking not good for this legendary player and if he wants to stay in touch with more tennis he needs to complete rehabilitation and then join tennis again if his body allows him for this because now he is 36 and after few months he could be 37 mean things are getting worst for him with these injuries, and he needs to be more complete.
 
But, if he rush for this French Open then surely things could be no ok, and he can lose his career like we have Roger Federer even he was in his forties, but he needs to be perfect for having more titles and Grand Slams but now on Clay he has big challenge from his countryman Alcaraz as well because he is also doing good job and with the fightback of Djokovic we will have good interesting matches in coming days.

I personally feel like its impossible for business to run directly by money from customers. At initiation phase all businesses including crypto casinos need huge amount of money, just for regulations for example. There will always be not expected cost as well. It can be very easy to bankrupt in a month where you don't make money. Its not limited with costs. You need taxes even if you don't operate in tax Haven country. Everything about gambling business sucks money.
Correct, not even ICO-starting gambling sites are zero balance before they start. Sure, they seek help from investors for their capital but it doesn't mean they won't spend some before that happens. Website developers, encoders, graphic designers, and more. All of those people who have those skills will need a budget for their work and even if they are promised to be paid in the future they will require some payment for their own necessities.
Even if they are friends or part of his team, money will be an essential part while waiting for investor funds.
Wherever OP heard the news must be from someone whose just bragging about the successful gambling site he have but I doubt he didn't spend anything.
I think they can. We see that a crypto project team always consists of people who are experts in different fields. They can just use their own abilities to create and promote their project without needing to hire a different person as that will only be an added expense. After it, they can then run an ICO or something similar to gain investors who will fund their gambling site.

As long as the team have created a nice platform with great games and exciting features, investors will just flock around it dying to get their spot as they are also aware that this new and promising gambling platform can be the next big thing in the gambling industry.

There are many legal people/police around us if they get any information about Bitcoin from the mouth of children then our elder family members will face many problems.
You shouldn't even ask such a question if you already know that Bitcoin is banned in your country and you and your family could get in trouble if authorities come to know that you trade or use Bitcoins. Everyone know that children are pure hearted and don't understand these things, so it will be a foolish thing to educate them about it as the word will surely spread faster that way since they are innocent and won't hesitate talking about it outside.

Better migrate to a country (if feasible) where you will have better life, freedom and privacy then you could think about adapting bitcoin by your entire family.

It is not gambling if you want to do the right thing. All forms of trading involves research and you must have to do that. It is when you don't do that you think of it as gambling but it is not. You have your indicators and research guidelines to go through and also the chart is important. Gambling has no chart and it outcome are strictly based on luck.
but the option that I'm not interested in is that we have to wait for a predetermined time so we can't stop before the allotted time runs out. this is different from trading, where we freely determine our actions at any time in the market. in options it becomes difficult I think sometimes the market used seems to be manipulated because it doesn't match the market in general. and I don't know if this is called gambling or not, but I think it's difficult to live it
This was still part of trading, and that is why it has a trading on its name however its only on a different variation but one should study it first before engaging so that he can perform it well. It's normal for the market to move in other directions as opposed to what you predicted and it does not mean that there are manipulations going on it.

Even in the normal spot trading, it does happen too. There is no way we can make predict the market accurately and if so then all of us here are now rich. You know when it's similar to gambling if you don't know what you are doing. If you find it too difficult then you better not continue than incur more losses.
565  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Can bitcoin compete with CBDC's? on: January 30, 2023, 06:14:02 PM
The CBDC's nothing to do with bitcoin.

These are two different things, bitcoin gives you financial freedom, and it can not be controlled by any central authority/government. While CBDCs are controlled by the central banks no matter even if they are created on blockchain but still they are state-owned currency and they can mint more whenever they want as they usually do with paper currency.
I think they can do something. Remember they are created by the people who are against Bitcoin. People behind them can encourage the public to use their own creation and not Bitcoin. Much more if they ban BTC on their country. CBDC and Bitcoin do also have their own similarity and that is both runs in the blockchain. The only main difference is that one is decentralized and the other is centralized.

Even though CBDC has their own advantages and that is they are stable and safe, I mean safe because they are regulated. BTC can still compete with them because BTC do also has its own charm and that is its volatile nature, where people can use it as an asset for trading or investing other than using it as a currency and most of all, it is safe because we control our own money.
566  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC rise described as false bull on: January 30, 2023, 05:28:09 PM
The actual bull run hasn't happened yet, but I also agree that this is not a trap, it's a normal market movement. Bitcoin can neither fall forever nor rise forever, it is always in motion, and that is what is happening. Regardless if it's a trap or not, but with the price increase, congratulations to those who believed and bought bitcoin for $16k.
Now Bitcoin is starting to correct again after yesterday it had increased and is approaching the $24K price range, but those who had bought Bitcoin at the $16K price range are still very lucky if they sell now because the Bitcoin price is still above $23K now and this is clearly not a trap or the like. But what is happening now is a normal thing that happens very often in the market every year, except last year where Bitcoin has decreased more than increased.
I don't see a correction because when I look at the price, it was still $23k the same with yesterday. Maybe what happened is just a tiny decline. It's not bothering at all but can be good for those who are into short-term trading/investing. If they can utilize even the tiniest dip then they can also pull out some profits.

When someone buys at the dip and then sell when the price rises for profits, I don't consider that as a luck but that happens for a reason. Luck is something unexpected to happen and mostly felt when we are playing a gambling inside a casino. An increase that we felt lately, isn't something that occurs often and that is why many are eager to take advantage of it by selling.
567  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why does everyone want to trade? on: January 29, 2023, 06:46:34 PM
the real traders know why they will sell or buy coins.
No one in the whole wide world can actually know the future, it's all speculations and predictions based on what has happened in the past and what is happening around at the moment. Traders do analysis and provide predictions to follow which most of the times become right but not all the time. So sometimes, luck plays its part even in trading.

I've seen people with no knowledge getting profits in trading while the experienced ones falling short on that. There will be no point on everyone will be preferring to trade as competitions will become too wild in market which lead to unhealthy scenario in markets.
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Power Slap League on: January 29, 2023, 10:18:32 AM
Dana White is truly an interesting person. He is a very good organizer and show manager. I have no doubt that he will organize the Power Slap League very well. However, I could not decide whether this event is a sport or not. In my opinion, this is not a type of sport. It has nothing to do with sports directly. However, Dana White can turn it into a very popular event and earn huge bucks. We have all seen what he did in MMA. Even if he cannot achieve the same success, he can perform a good organization.
Agreed, Dana into slap league organization makes it more interesting. His involvement will surely make more people watch the event. This guy have got the ability to make nothing to a much better one. Majority have the same thought, it isn't type of game in which betting can be done. MMA is far better, because the harming is entirely different whereas with the slap tournament directly hitting on the face is really worse. I don't think much people will enjoy watching these kind of events.
Why not? There are even strange betting other than this but most of them are only held locally. Slapping is far more popular than them so it has a chance to be included by a betting site. MMA is not comparable to this one.

MMA is more entertaining because whole body parts can be used by the fighters and they can invent different moves by this. They can move freely and do some cover up when one attacks but we already saw a fighter which are badly beaten up so don't say that slapping is worse or more dangerous. For some maybe slapping is unenjoyable but there are people who enjoys this and this is why it became trendy.

while everyone thinks Babar Azam is not a good captain - Ricky Ponting believe Babar is the biggest of all time.
Pakistan economy and political situation is falling and so is the performance of the Pakistani cricket team - both women and men.
Not sure about the women's side, but the stats says the opposite for Pakistan's Men's Cricket Team. According to ESPNCricInfo, they have won 3 out of their last 4 ODI bilateral series played against Australia, West Indies and Netherlands (that one was recent defeat against New Zealand). They've performed pretty well in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup as well (lost in Final).

Pakistan economy is certainly not doing well as of now which may impact on other departments as well. I mean I am afraid about Sri Lanka cricket team like situation for Pakistan if their economy will not bounce back asap.

while it’s true that their star player’s didn’t leave, but what’s the guarantee that they’ll stay beyond this season because I’m sure that they’ll want to get away as soon as it’s possible from this controversial club. Furthermore I agree the punishment was light, but their primary target now should be to finish anyhow in the top 6 and at least qualify for the Europa League so that they can offer something to those who decide to yet stick by them in the 2023 - 2024 season.
Even punishment is light but still this ruin their season and hopes for the title race because their performance was increasing, and they were doing good job for sticking around leaders Napoli but 15 points deduction is surely big below, and now they can't think to touch top four spots with this gape because now they have 12 points gape from fifth spot Atlanta and this is big which is surely problem as things could be more tough and their mentality is also disturbed as many players needs to avoid this all and have better future which is possible here, but they need final verdict about this issue than all will be ok for them, and they will be able to perform on positive note.
571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 22/23 - discussion thread on: January 28, 2023, 06:18:42 AM
Can we now write off Ajax for the title? Probably. They are a mountain of points behind Feyenoord, but not only Feyenoord is the problem. Twente, AZ, and PSV all also have a chance of winning the championship. It is close to each other, and Ajax is only falling further and further in the ranking. I don't see them getting any closer either. Schreuder was fired yesterday, maybe that will work liberating for once and that players can play the way they want. These players wouldn't need a coach at all to win in matches against Volendam, would they? And Ajax was even 0-1 behind until the 80th minute. However, a draw also felt like a defeat for the Ansterdam team. Maybe they should bring back Peter Bosz.
I don't think we can write them off for the title race right now as they still have chance and time with the sack of Schreuder things could be changed, and we will have improvement in players performance and mindset as well because Schreuder were not the right man for this job and players were also not comfortable which was creating problems for them club, and they were unable to win any game from their last seven games and now having seven points gape from leaders Feyenoord and five points gape from second spotted AZ Alkmaar which is achievable.

Now in rough 19th, they are going to visit for the match against another weaker side at Van Donge & De Roo Stadion as Excelsior is their opponent, and they have to do better performance for having better results in coming weeks and better end of this season as well.

Women's team is performing good. Now it is the U-19 team which was at the border to reach semi finals have now reached the finals. This have increased the expectation over the next semi finals between England and Australia. Women's team were progressive and now upcoming World Cup have created the expectation. Slowly Women's teams were getting importance and BCCI too is doing the best for them which in the past used to show partiality in providing support. The U-19 finals result will make India more visible to the world.
India's performance throughout in this event was good they only lost one match against Australia which was surely the worst performance from them but still they fight well and have place into final after beating New Zealand in semifinal which was undefeated in their previous games but not able to bat good against India and lost their match with England which is also another undefeated team in this event having place into final against India after giving shocking defeat to Australia even England's performance was not good but still their bowlers done good job and have won for their team and have place into final against India now both have chance to win this first event which was arranged by ICC for the development of cricket.

Monaco is far better compared with leverkusen. Leverkusen is having bad performance again on its domestic club. i would not be surprised that if leverkusen will be losing easily against monaco. monaco has been performing so well compared with leverkusen.
This gonna be the easiest match to predict. Im sure that 100% if monaco will be winning the game against leverkusen. leverkusen's performance is dropping again at this moment.
No doubt about Monaco performance in Ligue 1 but they are facing some issues in defense which is surely needs to be fixed because with this most of the time they are conceding goals and having problems, but Leverkusen is surely having the worst start of the season but now after change of coach having amazing impact, and now they are on five matches winning streak which is surely amazing and with this we can expect good fight in this competition because their new coach is working on attack and defense as well which is surely having good impact on their performance and giving good result for it is not easy game for the both teams because these both teams can do good and having equal chance to win this match and qualifying for the next round.
574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 27, 2023, 06:35:02 AM
The best result for Everton is one point in this match because if they hope to win it will be very difficult with their current condition.
Expecting Arsenal to lose the current match and their performance which is still very good can clearly be said to be impossible even though football is sometimes unpredictable, but things like this are very difficult now.
Here in this match if Everton able to have one point this could be equal to three points for them with the current form and position of these both teams because Arsenal is surely looking for the win, and they don't want to lose points with just five points gapes is already not enough and this cut can give them some stress before Manchester City match which is also not easy for the both teams.

But most chances Everton will lose, and they can stay at the bottom of the league table with their current form and quality and if things are not going to improve quickly then surely they could be out of the Premier League in the next season because they are really crap team in last few months even things are unpredictable because Premier League is having surprising results and things can change quickly without any problem.
575  Economy / Economics / Re: Keeping money and keeping bitcoins? are they similar? on: January 26, 2023, 07:18:24 PM
Bitcoin is something you save to have more gain in it; however, keeping money is different from keeping bitcoin in that you can come and take it as it is being kept and no matter how there will be a monthly bank fee deducted from your savings; bitcoin price may rise and you got many profits there that you can't imagine; however, we don't save money and think that you are expecting profit from it; as a result, keeping bitcoin and keeping money are not similar.
That is one of the use of Bitcoin, as an investment instrument but it was only optional. It's main use is still a currency, the same with fiat money. Keeping BTC and money are quite similar if we look at them in the outside but from the inside, they aren't different anymore because like you said, BTC value is growing but fiat is stable and sometimes decrease in purchasing power due to the inflations.

We can still keep money in our own possession and not in a bank. That way you will never pay a fee but you only need to make sure that you keep your money properly or store in it in a vault with a passcode that you only know so that it won't be stolen by someone else.
576  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Anyone making 4 or 5 digits (USD) monthly from Crypto Sports betting? on: January 26, 2023, 05:56:11 PM
I guess you must have gotten the answer you desire by now but if no then I will suggest some nice casinos for relatively nice reviews and great reputation on the forum such as :
~stake.com
~duelbit
~sportber
And lots more and you can check on the reputation board their you will get some of the best and nice casinos over there with proven records of excellence. Also remember that what works for me might not also work for you and in most cases what you have to do is figure out a nice casino, get used and mastered with it and then try to know the basis of the platform and stake your bet and always remember to do so responsibly as no one will be held responsible for any challenges you encounter of things goes sour with you.
Goodluck.
The OP is talkin about sports but the casino sites that you provided there are dual in terms of game categories. They also have sports betting on the side other than their award-winning casino games. I think there is no need for him to re-check the reputation of those sites because a lot of us will agree here that they are all legit. For those bad feedbacks that they are getting then it was only made by their haters or possibly competitors. There are also some who are guilty from cheating but they have been busted out and won't take it so they just try to destroy the reputation of those gambling sites.

As for the other question of the OP, which is to make 4-5 digits. I think this was only achievable if you are a large bettor. If not then it will be hard for you.
577  Economy / Speculation / Re: I think Bottom is gone on: January 26, 2023, 10:26:32 AM
the price of bitcoin can survive the negative news and can even increase because the negative news will always be there to try to bring bitcoin down. We will still see market fluctuations but we shouldn't panic or worry because that won't make bitcoin abandoned by investors. And in the end, the bitcoin price will increase and create a new ATH again.
I wouldn't say hopefully for something that is very possible. How many times we survive a negative news? Bitcoin is 13 yrs old already. Negative news will always be there but they aren't built to bring Bitcoin down. There were different reasons on why they happen. It was the fake news or the FUDs created by the BTC haters or the whales whose intention is to bring the price down for their own benefit.

Market fluctuations is normal as well but this doesn't scare experienced users because they can use this on their benefit. this is where they can be able to buy low and sell high. The bottom is still there actually and it is the current price that we have now. I can say this because will abandon this price soon but if ever we fail to continue or there are obstacles along the way, this should be the lowest point that we can get at the moment.
578  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Bitcoin, Dogecoin Gain After Musk's Tweets, But Will There Be Another Bull Run? on: January 26, 2023, 02:59:50 AM
the focus should be on the potential of blockchain technology and how it can improve our world, rather than getting caught up in market manipulation and greed. It's important to keep in mind that the value of a cryptocurrency should not be determined by one individual, but rather by the technology and its ability to provide a useful solution. It's also worth considering diversifying your portfolio and not putting all your eggs in one basket, whether that be Bitcoin or any other coin.
If it's only about potential then Bitcoin has it. BTC has also done some contributions to solve the real word problems like fighting the inflation and restrictions because of its decentralized nature. Doge coin on the other hand is only the opposite of BTC.

I don't know what contributions it did but I think only cause more problems because it encourage people to create more meme coins and like you said to become greedy of chasing easy money. These types of coins can depend on a few powerful individuals because they can be able to manipulate the coin but a legit or fair crypto is truly decentralized and is fairly distributed to all people in the world.
579  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will Btc get to $12k or $10k on: January 25, 2023, 08:43:30 PM
Asumming that bitcoin will get to 10k , the question is what are your plans on this event? planning to buy more or will just keep hitting the hold?
because if you are not interested on both then there is no reason why need to ask this and besides mentioning that you are student and learning , then best to instead of asking this same question ? just come and read running threads about same thing , if the bottom is on or not and if we are in bull or not.
Given that we haven't seen those prices stated in the OP then I think the best thing to do is to try and grab our piece even if we already bought during the peak of 2022 bear market. There is nothing wrong on coming up a question like this even if one has no intention of buying or holding. What can we do? Some people are just curious.

Reading is great but asking a question is I think much better than it. We should be happy that there are still people who are like this than those who only go on their own and then ended up being a failure. For those who want to dump the price, maybe they just want to buy more coins at a better rates.
580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your take on this crypto gambling use case idea? on: January 25, 2023, 01:44:10 PM
A crypto gambling having its own currency only will not be successful since most of the users prefers different crypto currency like Bitcoin, usdt and etc.

Most of the gambling sites uses different types of cryptocurrency for a bigger chance of having more players. A casino must be open for different coins for easy and better gambling experience. Using native token will only go to failure of your project.
You just said that "user prefers different crypto" and then "a wide variety of coins attracts more players" so therefore introducing this new crypto to be used in gambling can be effective to magnet more players. You know, people can also get bored on the same coin so there is this urge that they want to try something new.

There are gambling sites which has their own tokens. They can be Owlcasino, Betfury and moonbet (only to name a few) and these casinos are still alive and doing well. So, how can you say that a casinos that has their own token "will only go failure"? Currently the numbers of these casino are still less so we need to see more of them.
