Apart from Omair Yousuf of the Pakistan team, no other batsman could perform well. Omair managed to play an excellent inning of 153 runs off just 126 balls. Besides, Kamran Ghulam collected 55 runs off 79 balls. I expected better performance from Pakistan batsmen. Zimbabwe won easily with a target of 296 runs. Opener Joylord Gumbie scored 111 runs and Craig Ervine scored 161 runs. Due to the great innings of these two batsmen, the Zimbabwean team reached the goal of victory by losing only 3 wickets. The dominance shown by the Zimbabwean team in this series is truly amazing. From this, it can be assumed that the future Zimbabwe team will be stronger.
@Iranus I’m baffled to know that Pakistan lost again because matches like these you expect Pakistan to win and I wonder if the player’s are distracted due to unrest happening in Pakistan? Also this should definitely be a wake up call for the Pakistani selectors because if your reserve squad is weak then it could hurt them in the future tournaments if their main player’s are ruled out due to injuries.

Actually, I agree with you. When Pakistan scores anything more than 250 we always think that it is going to be a win by default for Pakistan. Because Pakistan always has a really good bowling lineup. But Pakistan was unable to have a good bowling performance in this series so far against Zimbabwe. The only excuse that Pakistan might show is this is not an official series. So this points is not going to mean anything. So they are trying out new things with different players. But success is always expected especially from Pakistan in these types of scenarios.

Real Madrid is still in shocked of their champions league result, the 4 nil Manchester city gave them is still very much fresh in their head, which is affecting  their performance in the league
Real Madrid will come back soon and they won't need too many times to win La Liga and Champions League again. In their squad, they currently have many talented young players but they are more matured than other young players at their ages. Winning La Liga will be more easily than Champions League because in knock-out matches, to be a winner you will have to not only a strong team but also must get support from luckiness.

Real Madrid must have a good striker to replace Benzema and a good play-maker to replace Modric. At other positions, they look good enough but still if possible, it is not harmful to strengthen their squad at other positions too.

Real Madrid lost Champions League and they have yet recovered from that shock. Valencia took advantage of Real Madrid's mental shock to win but in the match, Vinicius Jr. was treated badly and eventually he lost his mind and got a red card. The referee should do his job better to protect Vinicius better against racist towards the player
The act of racism around the world and on the pitch should be rejected
Vinicius was treated badly today and was no where protected by the referee
Even at the beginning songs of monkeys have been sang against him that alone should be checked it's insulting and those fans should be banned
The match official at the center of the pitch in the game between Valencia and Real Madrid had one of his worst days at the office in that game.
How do you send off a player who was at the receiving end of racism chants from the home fans from almost the kickoff time? And again he was first attacked by a Valencia player before he retaliated only to be sent off. The Spanish football governing body real needs to stand up and act fast on this matter else people from all over the world will see racism in the La Liga as a normal thing
Those tears rolling down Vini cheeks made me pissed fo real
Hashtags of we're with you will not work the Fifa and UEFA needs to put place in other
I want to see him come back to his best state of mind and I will want to see him continue in la liga and win the ballon d'or

Vini is not experienced enough yet. At least I don't think he's experienced enough. He misses a lot of easy opportunities. Vini is far behind Messi, Benzema or Lewandowski. I don't expect him to win the Ballon d'Or any time soon. He needs to be more experienced. Vini will be far behind Haaland and Mbappe. Vini needs to work harder if he wants to win the Ballon d'Or. So far he is not fit for it.

Mainz and Köln both have nothing to play for going into the final game of the season, for Bayern and Dortmund on the other hand, it is a must win situation for both clubs. Bayern have a superior goal difference so if they win and Dortmund fail to pick all three points and the Bavarians win they would clinch their 11th Bundesliga title. But if Dortmund win, they are going ti be crowned champions for the first time since when Klopp was in charge.
Thomas Tuchel and the Bayern board would be under immense pressure, the season is already sub par for their lofty standards. Dropping out of the DFB-Pokal and the champions league is a disaster. Not winning the league which has become routine at this point just makes that worse.
Looking forward to a change in administration, for a change in management would be all too sudden.
Even now Thomas Tuchel and Bayern Munich are under pressure, but I am still not going to blame Thomas Tuchel from here because this is all happen due to wrong decision from the management about Nagelsmann he was doing good job, but they still sack him and bring coach which is not ideal with just few matches left and things were also under control but their mistake now having impact on team and its performance with exit from Champions League and now having lost the title after ten years it's never been acceptable but still happen.
Now they have to accept this all go ahead for the new start of next season with positive mindset and better approach because they can dominate again with their available sources which can bring them champions again in coming season.
More than Thomas Tuchel I think the person who hire him is under pressure because when Nagelsmann was working for Bayern Munich they still had the chance for both the champions league and Bundesliga and now Bayern Munich with Tuchel lost the champions league, also there are two gaps between them and Dortmund which means they just have to hope to see Dortmund lose the next game.

Nagelsmann was sacked by Bayern Munich at a crucial time. This was a bad decision by the Bayern Munich management. If the Munich management had sacked Nagelsmann at the end of the season, the team might have been able to win the Bundesliga title. Tuchel is yet to develop a friendly relationship with the team's players. Munich's performance is now very erratic. They are not playing well against weaker teams either. And that's because of bad decisions by Bayern Munich management.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: May 21, 2023, 08:31:37 PM
The Marseille team is currently performing very well. I think if there was no PSG team in League One, the other teams would fight each other very well and the league would be competitive. Since PSG team is in this league, other teams play well at other times but those teams become worthless when playing with PSG.
The remaining three games, not difficult enough for PSG.  At the moment PSG are a little comfortable with a six-point gap. I think they will be champions this season. They have a great chance to win Ligue 1. Although there are indeed many reports Messi will leave soon and Mbappe will certainly get many offers from other clubs. Maybe Madrid will work hard for Mbappe while Messi I got the news that he will return to Barcelona, but I read one of the Arab clubs Al Hilal offered a contract of 500 million euros.  Source: www.goal.com

PSG is certainly winning the title in my opinion. They are at the top of the table right now. Currently, they have a match going on against Auxerre and already 83 minutes have been played. By the looks of it, I believe they are actually going to win the match. As I said it is not going to be a problem for them to win the Ligue 1 title. I believe the top 3 positions are set. There are not going to be much changes made in the top 3.

It is going to be very disappointing for Bayern Munich to lose their title chance this easy. But they totally deserve that after this huge loss against Leipzig home. They just gave up on the title before their supporters in Allianz Arena. There is nothing more humiliating for them I guess. But I believe it would be very unfair to judge Tuchel harshly for this. He hasn't even managed the team for a long time period.

Nagelsmann brought things to this point mostly as you already know. It would be the funniest action to take for Bayern Munich if they sack Tuchel only a short time after he joined. I know that it is very annoying for Bayern Munich fans. But I think that this is totally related to the players rather than Tuchel. They just don't play like they believe in themselves completely sometimes.

These things have been dropping down the team into a worse place. Plus Bayern Munich absolutely need a striker like Lewandowski immediately.
The sack should be perfect for the management but to the normal eyes they have made the wrongest decision
Since Tuchel came in there has been no good improvement
All that is needed of Dortmund is to get four points to win the league after a decade
Bayern Munich are not different from arsenal this season

Bayern Munich is now proving that the decision to sack Julian Nagelsmann was a foolish decision. Julian Nagelsmann was doing quite well with Bayern Munich. However, the Munich management fired Julian Nagelsmann. Although Tuchel is experienced enough, he is yet to stabilize the team. Munich played 11 matches after Tuchel became the coach. Munich won only 5 of these matches. Lost 4 and drew 2. Thomas Tuchel could not adapt well to the players of Bayern Munich.
66  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Indian Premier League #IPL on: May 21, 2023, 11:33:15 AM
Two very important matches today. MI vs SRH and RCB vs GT
GT are through to next round while SRH are out of the tournament. If SRH win today they might finish 9th on the points table, they are at number 10th position. If MI wins today and RCB loses today then MI are through to next round. If both MI and RCB wins today then decision will be made on NRR and in that case RCB will be favorite to make it to next round. its very interesting last day of IPL.
If both RCB and MI lose today, Rajasthan will have a chance to make it to the Super Four. If both RCB and MI win today then RCB will play in Super Four. RCB looks like it will be difficult to win the match today. Because today they have to fight against the team which is at the top of the points table, Gujarat.
The biggest team of this tournament is Gujrat Titans. If RCB want to stay in Top 4, then they have no choice but to win this match. This will definitely difficult for the RCB team. However, if Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis can play with responsibility, then there may change the result. In the team Glenn Maxwell and Michael Bracewell can also become strong enough. There are some matches in their history, especially if Glenn Maxwell can show his good performance, then RCB can win in this match. According to the IPL history RCB's position is not good. However, in today's match, it is important to see what will happen.

So far the most consistent team in this tournament is Gujarat Titans. However, the team has already qualified for the knockout rounds. So the match against Bengaluru is not important for them. Also, Bangalore is in very good form right now. I guess the Bengaluru team can beat the Gujarat team today.
Hyderabad is batting brilliantly against Mumbai today. At the end of 17 overs, Hyderabad's collection is 174/2. Vivrant scored 69 runs and Agarwal scored 83 runs. Probably Sunrisers Hyderabad team will give a target like 210-215.

To answer that there is no guarantee that we can be rich or become successful in investing. To increase the chances of success we may consider doing this tips. We need to have a set of clear goals, objectives and try to develop strategies on how to achieve those goals. This will help us to stay focused and we can make the right decision. We need to diversify our portfolio if we will invest and do not put all eggs in a basket because of the risk involve in investing. Invest for a long term with this kind of investment it is important to have patience and discipline. Do not make short term trades based on your emotions because it might loose your investments.

What you say is basic knowledge that any investor already knows. It is easy to say but to apply and implement it is not as easy as you think. That's why there are not too many successful investors, even though they know everything you say. Whether in investment or whatever, success will not come when we apply the fundamental theories spread on the internet. But we need to have our own mindset and orientation that best suits us to be able to bring out our full potential to achieve success.
68  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Why so many mixers all of a sudden? on: May 21, 2023, 04:31:46 AM


To be fair and honest with you, I’m scared of using these unknown mixers especially now that new ones pop up so often.

I think many mixers have been around for a long time, but they are not so well known as Chipmixer. It can be said that when it comes to mixer, people will immediately think of Chipmixer, not having any other second name. But as we all know, CM is closed, and there are opportunities for other mixers as well. Everyone understands that this is the best time to replace CM, and if they win old customers from CM, they will be as strong as CM before. So I'm not too surprised to see so many mixing campaigns launch.
69  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin or cryptocurrency offer loan service? on: May 21, 2023, 04:23:35 AM
does Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies or exchange offer loan service?
 If yes, what is some criteria that may be required?
For exchanges - yes, they do. Just check out Binance for this: https://www.binance.com/en/loan
All details are already there but this has to be specific borrowing to be used on their own platform and for you to trade into their all types of market. Read the FAQ from there.
OKX has also that loan feature: https://www.okx.com/loan

Aside from that, we've got the Lending section of the forum and there have been reputable people that are allowing people to take loans from them. If you're known and you ask to have a no-collateral loan and they agree, they'll grant you. But for the majority, there should be a collateral that you can place on and it should be more than the value of what you're borrowing.



I think OP is asking does bitcoin provide lending services like banks or not. He is not looking for services from organizations or individuals that use bitcoin for lending, which is completely different. If you want to borrow through these institutions, it is no different from a bank, in that case, I would go to the bank and borrow money from them and buy as many bitcoins as I want. Why borrow from these unreliable centralized institutions?
70  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin overshadowed by economic lie on: May 20, 2023, 12:53:37 PM
I have seen various news media always promoting negative news related to Bitcoin. They only want to convince people that nothing good will ever happen with Bitcoin but they never highlight the good aspects of Bitcoin in their reports. Various reports are published in various media about the fact that a person has lost all his wealth by investing in Bitcoin or will not survive in front of Bitcoin, so that common people who are interested in investing they get confused by such news and refrain from investing. Since good things are happening with bitcoin why do they only highlight bad things?

It is not surprising to see the media saying only negative things about bitcoin. The government is behind the media, and they don't like bitcoin at all. So what do you expect from the government? Will they urge people to leave fiat money and invest in bitcoin? But unfortunately for them, today's media is not the only way to spread the news, and we have social networks. So their defamation of bitcoin and hiding its benefits will soon lose its effect as people will hear different things about bitcoin through many viral social media channels.
71  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My friend's investment in Bitcoin on: May 20, 2023, 12:44:27 PM
I think you only mentioned the positive aspects of bitcoin investment to your friend which made him very interested in investing and he has already invested like $500. You should inform him that investing in Bitcoin is very risky and the money risk should be taken only by the person investing. If you mention when your friend has invested then maybe it would be easier for us to understand whether he is currently making profit or loss on his investment. Since your friend will not share the profit with you if he gains from the investment, you should make it clear to him that you are not responsible if he gets damaged by investing.

OP mentioned risk, but I bet he's just more profit focused, and that friend will also be asking more about profit than risk. Most newbies will have the mentality of hearing about profits and rush to invest without any knowledge. OP, I'm not like a lot of people here, I really disagree because your friend doesn't have the knowledge to invest in bitcoin.

Sevila can not ve any where near man city in rhe finals and i dont know why so many football fans misunderstood the fact rhat Manchester city is the world chapil this season and it doesnt matter what sevilas performance has been in the EUROPA league, their can'tt march up to mancityy in the finals.
Sevilla will not face Manchester City in the Final anyway. They will fight against Roma and the biggest contender for the cup is Sevilla. If Manchester City wins the UCL trophy and Sevilla wins the UEL trophy, then we can say that Manchester City and Sevilla will meet in the super cup. In that case, of course, the favorite would be Manchester City.
There is no doubt that Sevilla is more experienced than Roma on the Europa League platform. But it is understandable that Roma are targeting the Europa League title this season. Although Roma's performances in Serie A have been somewhat erratic, Roma has been able to perform well in every match in the Europa League. And so even if the favorite team in the final is Sevilla, it cannot be said that Roma has no chance of winning. I would say both teams have a 50-50 chance of winning.
I agree with you that their odds are practically 50/50 now. Each team has strengths and weaknesses which I think are not much different from each other. so this match might be interesting and difficult to predict. Sevilla is indeed more experienced in the European League, but AS Roma also has a coach who can implement surprising and unpredictable strategies.

The Sevilla team is now very strong. But I would say that Sevilla will play against Mourinho's match strategy in this match. The Roma team is not very strong. They don't have many star players. At the same time, their performance is somewhat erratic. But their coach Mourinho is very experienced. The team qualified for the Europa League final thanks to Mourinho's excellent match strategy. And so Roma has the possibility of winning the Europa League title.

Incidentally today I have a little longer off so I can watch and bet calmly on some of the matches that will be held today.
the matches that will take place today are

1.Tottenham vs Brentford
2. Liverpool vs Aston Villa
3. Wolves vs Everton
4. Bournemouth vs Man United
5. Fullham vs Crystal Palace
6. Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal.

of the six matches maybe I will miss not to bet on some matches. such as for Fullham Vs Crystal Palace and Wolves vs Everton matches. while the other 4 matches. I already have a favorite team. So I won't miss it. My 4 favorite teams are Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United and Tottenham. good luck coming my way today.
I think, Liverpool is in a good position to defeat Aston villa 3-1 in this match, because they are good in using home advantage to secure victory in any competition which they will definitely apply that strategy to ensure they embrace three points from this match. I don't think Manchester united can defeat Bournemouth in their home because they know how to play well to stop their opponent not to achieve victory than to draw the match at the end, which they will like to do the same thing to Manchester united in this match. I believe, Arsenal will achieve victory from this match to maintain the second position, because Nottingham forest don't have the strength to stop them not to achieve victory from this match.
Firstly, Liverpool are in very good form right now. And now they have the ability to win against any big team. This match is very important for Liverpool if they want to qualify for the second Champions League. Aston Villa is a strong enough team. The team is now in the eighth place in the table. However, the performance of this team is not regular. But their squad is strong. This team will try their best to get points against Liverpool. But Liverpool is consistently dominating every match and winning. Also Liverpool players will be very confident in the home match. So Liverpool will be the favorite against Aston Villa.
The Liverpool team has improved itself a little in performance. The next match is against Aston Villa in this match although Liverpool can be put ahead but I can't say which team will secure the victory. Because Aston Villa is a very good team they have the ability to beat Liverpool.

I'm not denying that Aston Villa are a good team. But the Liverpool team is in very good form now. I also saw the results of the Aston Villa vs Liverpool head-to-head matches. Liverpool have won all of their last 5 matches against Aston Villa. And Liverpool won the away match this season by 3-1. That's why I expect Liverpool to maintain their consistency and win today's home match as well.

Simply put, this market is created by bitcoin, bitcoin is the pioneer cryptocurrency and is considered the safest to date. After all, other altcoins are all improved copies of bitcoin, but they are nothing more prominent or reliable than bitcoin. So bitcoin will continue to dominate this market. But over time, I think this dominance will decrease, years ago, bitcoin dominance was more than 80%, in recent years, that number is only 40-50%.
77  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin is "dying". on: May 18, 2023, 11:10:32 PM
Hello everyone. I don't want to sound pessimistic, but it looks like bitcoins ideas are dying.

I spend a week on this forum talking with people about Bitcoin and asking their opinions in threads. And I came to the conclusion that the whole idea of Bitcoin is being killed in front of our eyes.

The problem is that most of the people in crypto see Bitcoin as an asset like a stock to invest in and then sell later. No one even thinking about the future of Bitcoin as means of currency. Bitcoin was created NOT as an asset, we use it as one, it was created to solve a banking problem and create money of freedom that can't be faked and printed. And somehow people are literally forgotten about this whole point of Bitcoin.

I created a thread asking people what they think bitcoin will stabilize enough to become a currency for people to use and literally everyone said to me that it's an asset and it will never stabilize. And, don't get me wrong, sounds logical and I agree with that.
But if we treat Bitcoin like this, why are we waiting for the "mass adoption" and want businesses to accept Bitcoin that is not stable in any means to use it as a currency?

Another big problem is that everything in crypto spaces becomes centralized. Recently I tried to sell my crypto without KYC and I didn't find any good platforms to do it! Just think about it...nowadays you need to pass KYC to sell crypto without high fees. That's crazy.

Almost all platforms and even some wallets require your ID which is the opposite of anonymity. And because of that there are fewer and fewer platforms that offer you services without KYC and therefore because there are not many of them here they hike up their fees to the sky.

 Add to that the fact that even wallets are not safe. Ledger literally offered people to save their seed phrase in the cloud. The mere fact that they CAN take your seed phrase and upload it somewhere is a reason to never use ledger anymore.

So considering all this, it looks like crypto right now is moving to centralization and control over our funds. Bitcoin is just an asset to people and I don't see how everyone can use it as a currency.
That's why I think that bitcoin Ideas are dying.


Bitcoin is not being used for the right purpose that Satoshi created, but that does not mean it is dying. You just need to think simply, as long as it is creating value, and benefiting us, then bitcoin is on the right track and does its job well. Just like you study accounting and after you graduate you go to another job, as long as you earn a lot of money, you have a desirable life, there is nothing wrong here. I don't see bitcoin dying because it is creating real value for this world.
78  Economy / Speculation / Re: Know your time to HOLD on: May 18, 2023, 11:05:30 PM
Bitcoin is not a get rich quick investment, you must be patient and strong to hold for long. Long term investment is the best for bitcoin. If it goes down or rise up, you still hodle and hodle till the next bull market.
But at the mean time, if you think that price is high and you can't buy for now then you can diversify the investment to other areas like other coins. So have more patience and endurance because that’s the only way you can manage your investments for long term, patience is investment. Nobody know when bull market will come or bear market. Long time is best.

Even if you invest in other fields or other coins for which you have no patience, you will not succeed. The more impatient you are, the quicker you lose money. It seems that he is still a newbie to the market, giving your altcoin investment advice would be the next mistake he is prone to make. Altcoins are not for beginners who want to make quick money because it is a lot riskier. To be able to invest in altcoins at least you need to spend a lot of time doing research.

To me, increasing the number of wallet addresses doesn't make much sense since one person has ownership of hundreds of different wallets. But with the increasing acceptance of bitcoin by more stores and more countries around the world, that interests me more. That proves the demand for bitcoin is really strong, so the price increase will only be a matter of time when supply exceeds demand.
80  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What a shame on: May 18, 2023, 03:51:55 AM
Government cannot censor the Bitcoin network because it is decentralized and there is no base of operation where they can barge in and confiscate everything and imprison people who are on the vicinity.  But Government has the power to ban Bitcoin and implement law that can arrest people who are engaging with Bitcoin trading.  That is the sad reality. Government still has the authority in its jurisdiction.  Besides, the government can control the centralized exchanges where most people are trading Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency.

Our freedom with Bitcoin is limited within the Bitcoin Network, when it pass through centralized exchanges to convert it to cash or trade it to other cryptocurrency, the freedom is compromised because centralized exchanges are subject to government regulation.
True, but even then their power still has limits, for decades governments have been fighting against the illegal downloading of copyrighted content, yet this practice is widespread all over the world, and while once in a while there are cases which make the news about a person being charged millions of dollars because of their downloads, we can say the majority of those people get away with it.

So I doubt the governments are going to have the resources to try to identify and arrest every single person using bitcoin within their territory if they decided to make it illegal.

But if the government bans it, we will also face many difficulties in using bitcoin, and the risk of detection will be very heavy. They can't ban bitcoin outright, but we don't feel comfortable using bitcoin either. And the one who suffers the most is still us, not them. Going against the government has never yielded good results, so I hope the government never completely bans bitcoin.
