Brentford were defeated by Liverpool a few days ago in front of their own public with a score of 4-1. If Liverpool can do it, my prediction is that Manchester City can also do it, although later during the match something different will happen.
Manchester City were obsessed with the unexpected result when they were held to a draw by Chelsea. I think Pep doesn't want what Manchester City received against Chelsea to happen again tonight in the remaining matches (round 18) at the Etihad Stadium.

The high level of confidence in assessing that Manchester City will win this match is very large. Against Brentford will be a match that proves that Man City still has a big chance of winning the Premier League championship trophy.
1 point is not difficult if they are able to win tonight.
Most chances we will have result like we have against Liverpool because Manchester City and Liverpool both are on same level and attack is also very aggressive specially now after having draw against Chelsea things are looking for the better result because now their chances for the top spot is ended, and they need to stay at second spot for any chance and for this Brentford is good opportunity to hammer them with good score even we have good competition between these two teams in the past, but now situation is completed change and Manchester City is going to play with their full strength squad.

Now we have few minutes left in this match and if Manchester City is going to win then surely difference will be narrow and all top three teams will be having equal chance for the win even now Liverpool is hot favourite but in Premier League things can take changes frequently so 13 rounds and many chances are available for these three.

If they have an option to not disclose their personal identity, why they need to publicize it to everyone else? Huh

When you want to open a banks account, the banks' employees will ask you to submit your ID card and other personal information, do you ask their identity? I bet you not.

I think it's a stupid question, if you don't comfortable or don't like to submit KYC without know the owner's identity, don't gamble on that casino.
A normal online casino don't usually do that but I already saw a couple of casinos whom you can see their staffs picture, know their real name and even addresses. They even post it publicly in their forum. I'm referring to Primedice and Stake casino here. A crypto casino project that has their own token can also do this just like most of the crypto projects.

I think this is to gain the people's confidence and they hope to get more investors. As for the bank employees, there is no need for us to ask their ID's because they are already wearing it. If not, it may be inappropriate to ask them about it. We should respect their privacy and just find a platform which teams are already doxxed.
63  Economy / Economics / Re: How is it possible to say there is no money in the bank on: February 20, 2024, 04:54:32 PM
Banks could lose money when they start to lose money in their investment ventures. As you know banks finance houses, cars, and basically every commodity that could generate income long as it's not perishable.
They don't have a single or just a few ventures so they get out of money if they lose money in some of their ventures, they don't lose money in the first place because they don't make investments or accept commodities and stuff that they know are not going to get them any profit in the first place, and even if they do it sometimes, they have a lot of ventures going on at one time and they earn more money than they might lose in some of those ventures.

So, this isn't more than an excuse if they say that they don't have any reserves left because they have lost money in their investment ventures because a bank can never get out of money because of their business structure which allows them to always have money in their reserves and they are supposed to have reserves for every single penny they have of their customers.

We're quick enough to know the fast rising outstanding form of Arsenal, they're preparing themselves in all top tournaments they found themselves, not giving up but bringing on the exact excellent scores. Arsenal are only better in these previous EPL matches because they're outstanding and involved with good amount of goals. This is exactly what the fans and the headcoach was planning for the team. At this point, Mikel Arteta is doing a good job to enabled himself becomes the formidable pillar behind the progress of the Gunners.
Arsenal's current condition is in their peak condition or they are at their best performance. The extraordinary thing is that Arsenal have not conceded in the last two matches in the EPL. And Arsenal are actually starting to show that they have improved their attack and defense. Well, Arsenal have even managed to collect 11 goals in just 2 matches in the EPL. And I think the confidence level of the Arsenal players is also at its highest at the moment. And facing Porto in the round of 16 will not be a difficult problem for Arsenal. Arsenal will definitely be favorites for the majority of us and I hope we all benefit from betting on that match.
Arsenal was under huge criticism due to poor performance in last few matches of the 2023, but they have done good comeback and now having 21 goals from their last five games in Premier League and concede only 2 goals which give them impressive success against Liverpool as well which bring their confidence level at the top, and now they are surely going to face Porto for another good performance things are looking positive for their success and if they keep their performance as they are giving in Premier League most chances they will be able to have beat Porto for the first time in their Champions League campaign which is looking impressive in this season.

Currently, odds are giving good backup to Arsenal even mostly home teams having good advantage but look like mostly are feeling Arsenal will be at his best and also easy to beat Porto which is also not bad at home.

Toss played a very important part in the last two matches and India was able to make optimal advantage out of it. And it was not all doom and gloom for England. Ben Duckett with his bazball style created quite a few issues for the Indian bowlers. And then the combination of James Anderson and Mark Wood worked quite well. Their main issue is that the spinners failed completely in the recent matches. Tom Hartley and Joe Root were still OK, but Rehan Ahmed failed completely in the third test. For the fourth test, it will be a good idea to replace Rehan with another spinner.
English approach to Bazball is good, but sadly it's not going to work for them in all countries specially while you are playing into India because here we have difficult conditions for all countries so they need to read this all before doing tactics like this with their all players are also not capable for this which is another problem for them after losing Harry Brook things gone more problematic with Joe Root which is veteran and having over 125 test matches also can't go with this Bazball.

If they want to perform good in India they need to have all positive and negative of this because without this they can't perform good now as they are down most chances we will have no chance for them because Indian are now settled with their new batting order and can give them tough time and English batting is also not consistent.

Information indeed keeps evolving and one needs to stay updated to have a better understanding of each situation they might face. However, what @Stalker22 said is correct that if one has critical thinking skills and a general understanding of what's happening and if they are always sound about their surroundings and always have a good presence of mind, they can barely get scammed no matter what tactics the scammers try on them.

People that get scammed are often those who are not mentally present when they face such a situation, which is the reason why they do anything a scammer asks them to do instead of thinking why they are getting an offer that is too good to be true from a complete stranger who would get nothing if they benefit?

Pioli would definitely be sacked he can be a good coach and also a very bad one in between, his lack of consistency is quite alarming and would take Ac Milan nowhere asides the UEFA European Europa League Competition.

Understood it was a good chance to see them go above Juventus in the Seria A standing but they couldn't. Asides that, they have struggled since the new season kicked off.
Antonio Conte I don't know who's been rumoured to come in hasn't said nothing yet. I do have some levels of doubt if he will be the new coach of AC Milan.
There were few rumours about Antonio Conte is coming in next season but still nothing is officially about this all with AC Milan doing good job but suddenly one defeat create serious fireworks for the Pioli which is not bad at all because just because of his strategy now things are looking much better and AC Milan is sure going to end between second and third spot in early half of the season things were looking not good, but they have done good job and recover all.

Defeat against Monza is surely not good, but we also need to check all ground realities which are giving all things how they lost this all just one player done mistake and all team suffer just because of this even they fight back, but last few minutes again bring them down and also lost chance for the second spot.
68  Economy / Economics / Re: The bad things will make people hate fiat currency no trust in goverments on: February 19, 2024, 08:02:51 PM
Despite all the challenges that we get,fait still has a role to play in government and nothing can change that.Even if most of us prefer crypto to fait,50% of crypto users make use of fait.
 As a matter of fact,the government is in charge,and fait stands a chance to remain in circulation.Its obvious fait is worthless,we really don't have to abandon fait in just one second,the government has failed many times and fait has been a bone in the neck to us.Let's watch how the government will remedy the problem with fait.
Not just 50% but a way larger percentage of cryptocurrency users use fiat, I would say almost every single cryptocurrency user still uses fiat currencies for their daily expenses because cryptocurrencies are not accepted everywhere, even in countries such as El Salvador where Bitcoin is a legal tender, most merchants still accept fiat currency from their customers. So no matter how much we hate it, we are compelled to use fiat currencies until the time when the whole world accepts cryptocurrencies.

So it isn't about what we want because if you ask a cryptocurrency user, they would say that they want to use only cryptocurrencies because they allow transparency and decentralization, but since we don't have that freedom as of now, we are not able to only use cryptocurrencies.
69  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: February 19, 2024, 06:20:54 PM
What is the problem and what causes a person to be addicted is the lack of understanding of what gambling really is, they only underline that gambling is a place to change the fate in life by utilizing opportunities, but they do not understand that opportunities are just "possibilities" which means there is absolutely no certainty to become a reality and it will really happen when you are lucky.
Addiction is not always because of a lack of understanding. Sometimes, people who know that gambling is all about possibilities and luck and there are no guaranteed gains get addicted to it and the reason behind that is that they do it excessively, maybe not at the initial stage but later on when they have seen that they can win money from it but it's just not guaranteed but their minds keep telling them to try again, what if you win this time?

When they keep trying, again and again, to see if they can win something significant, this thing makes them addicted eventually, along with the fact that they might keep trying to recover their losses each time they gamble and we know what happens to those who try to recover their losses.

I have said about Man United return to improvement since the first start, this team experienced a decline in performance and I continue to say that Ten Hag will ultimately repay the bad criticism with success in reaching the best place in the top 3 or 4 and nothing impossible to get 4th place big because the difference in points not that big except for 3rd place which very difficult to achieve because it a little further away and it won't be easy to pass some of the other strong teams but as I said nothing impossible as long as Ten Hag intelligently able to manage the players appropriately to can be consistent and on the one hand, Man United does not have a schedule in other competitions and has time to focus on getting the best position in the standings.

but it's a shame that Man United always manages to improve their performance when they approach the end of the season, whereas at the start of the season MU performance was a little bad and even failed in the preliminary round, giving negative confidence to this team, many even said that Man United would only be a mediocre team in the UCL but they always succeeded get tickets every season to be able to compete in the UCL.
Spurs and Aston Villa will not cause problems as long as Ten Hag able to maintain consistent players, it will certainly be easy to get 4th position.
Here your mostly points are valid which need to be settled because Manchester United is big club in Premier League and every season going like this has never been good they need to work on this which bring better things and discipline as well into their performance even with current performance most chances they will be able to achieve fourth spot with Aston Villa and Tottenham both are on decline which is surely beneficial for them but loses into early rounds are surely going to hurt them with right now we can't say they will be able to have third spot because this is really tough challenge 11 points difference and top performance from top three are not achievable.

Ten Hag is now doing impressive job just like he has done in last season with achieve good result but their consistency and players internal depth is also important for them if they want to keep things at better level in future hopefully now we will have good results in last few rounds which will create good entertainment in Premier League before end of 2024 season.
71  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Do You Use Crypto Signals? on: February 18, 2024, 03:23:42 PM
I have never done a single netrate but wanted to test but on the orders of an elder brother or on this board these sen brothers advised me not to trade bye no trading why not to take your risk in training outside it is actually like a gambling.

 Because if you work with singles from others then you have to depend on others because he is giving the signal according to him he will not give 100% because he will give 80% of making then you have a chance of ten percent loss.
 If someone gives you a one-minute signal, you have to invest your dollars according to that signal, if you don't make a profit, you lose your entire money.  So said brother, if not completely dependent on you, do some research yourself, know a little, understand, then invest, thank you.
What do you mean by netrate? Was it like a winning rate of a signal? You might be a newbie for you to not try a signal but for a newbie, it's best if you will figure things on your own. Don't worry if you perform poorly at first, it's only normal. See, you even get the same advice from other users.

It's not that the users here are selfish to not share their strategy but they only want you to become a better trader. Yup, there is no such thing as 100 percent winning rate signals but if ever there is someone who claims it, they only want you to buy their fake signals. If someone offers 80 percent winning rate signals, there is still 20 percent chance to lose, not 10. It can be small or big depending on the person who is viewing it, their ability, and their luck.
72  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Im looking for funded traders to trade with my capital on: February 18, 2024, 01:08:55 PM
To be honest, I have a hard time understanding the author of the topic. He claims that he can trade and at the same time writes that he needs someone who will trade according to his instructions and directions. This is some kind of mixture of illogical theses. In general, if a person understands the trading process itself, that is, if he knows how to trade and has a strategy, then in 99% of cases he trades himself. There are, however, people who for some reason want to “work in a team.” I don't know why they need this. Do they have a common deposit? Or do they work for a prop trading company?
     In addition, in the trading process there are not only profits, but also losses. If a trader trading on the instructions of someone else suffers a loss, then what should he do? In general, some kind of nonsense. If you want to trade, go and trade, and don’t look for assistants.
OP sounds illogical and fishy to me as well. Why would one want to entrust their money to some stranger so that they can trade for him? And he says that he will also teach the person how to trade, so if we think maybe he is doing this because he is busy, this makes that wrong because if he's busy, he shouldn't have time to teach the person how to trade or even provide instructions. After all, you can only do that if you are active in the market.

There is surely something off about this and he might not be sincere about what he is claiming. Anyone who gets into a deal with OP should use some escrow or something so that they can be safe from scams and frauds because you never know how you get scammed these days.
73  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? on: February 18, 2024, 08:55:23 AM
A gambling addict poses a serious threat to society since, in his hands, even his family's well-being is at risk; he is unable to listen to others around him when they complain about their uncontrollably extravagant spending. Some individuals view gambling as a place where they can come, bet, and win once; they don't know any better; knowledge is everything. However, some people believe that because gamblers are also humans, this will prevent them from being successful. Despite all of that, many people who are addicted to gambling get domesticated, but they will still never give up.
Maybe not always, but sometimes, it's true, and that is because they reach the level of addiction where they lose the ability to think and make sensible decisions, and when they don't have money to gamble anymore, they can do anything to get some money that they can use to continue their gambling.
I remember an incident that was discussed here in the forum where a grandpa kidnapped his granddaughter so that he could get ransom money from his son/daughter that he would use to pay his debts and gamble with the rest of the money.

Fortunately, he was caught but incidents like these show us how gambling addiction can lead one to do evil things just so that they can continue their gambling activities. So, it's true that a gambling addict can be a threat to a society.

Hansi Flick could be a good replacement for Tuchel there is no doubt about that but he would be great for just a short term, not for long term. They still need to get someone who is amazing in that position, someone who would be very tough to beat. I think some top 5 name is deserved. Think about it, in the world of football, are there 5 better than Bayern teams? Real surely, City too, but how many other teams are better than Bayern? Maybe Liverpool now, but not 5 more I know that much.

If you have a top 5 team then why not get a top 5 name in managerial results as well? I still think that Klopp would be great if you give him his one free year. Bayern could do with Flick for one season, then get Klopp and he could dominate with Bayern as well.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you beleive in the concept of "Luck"? on: February 17, 2024, 06:50:23 PM
You want to increase your luck? You work on it, like I use to tell my young ones, the more seeds you sow the more the bags you are going to reap, if something is based on likely, you need to prepare more chances for yourself and this will increase the probability of getting lucky.

This isn't about gambling, it's about investment though, because in my past investments, I haven't get a result whereby all my portfolio failed, with diversity I have win more than I lose, luck is a part in this play but it works better because I diversify.

In gambling you need luck, and there isn't a way that diversification will work here, because gambling is totally different from investment, you only have to lower the risk you take, with your money when gambling, there is no analysis you can do here, all you have is past data of a sport or game, what will happen in the next minutes can't be predicted.
What you said is true but it's not about sports betting because one can do research and analysis about sports games and have a general idea about which side has a better chance of winning the game and then decide which side they are going to place their bet on. Sports betting isn't completely based on luck because you can analyse the results of the teams or players that going to play the game and your analysis can help you greatly.

When it's about gambling games, that is where one needs luck to win, and there is no way for anyone to change their luck or increase their chances of winning. Some might use strategies for this purpose but that isn't an effective way and it can increase your losses most of the time.
76  Economy / Economics / Re: Is increase in minimum wage a good method to fight inflation? on: February 17, 2024, 02:46:33 PM
An increase in the minimum wage will ease the burden on the general population that is employed because they will have more money to spend hence they won't face issues from the rising prices, but what about those who are self-employed? Or merchants that are running their shops or businesses? They aren't going to get things for a lower rate by this method which means that will still not be able to earn enough money. Even if merchants do well by having enough profit margin, those who are self-employed or selling their services will still struggle.

So, there must be some solution that will solve the problems of every person in every sector or category and it shouldn't be an advantage for one group and others should still have to go through tough times.
77  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: If I have 1BTC So how did I use to invest in different Coins on: February 17, 2024, 01:38:32 PM
My opinion is buy and hold 50% of your capital outright bitcoin then buy any top altcoins with other money. bitcoin will give you big profit share anytime and better profit than altcoins if bullish market comes next. In my opinion it is absolutely stupid to buy new altcoins to take risks that will increase the amount of losses. In fact if you want to invest in crypto you have to stick to buying and selling in the crypto market.
He said very small amount only, while your recommendation of 50% seems a lot already, but to invest in a top altcoin is much better than a new coin. A new coin can't be a top coin yet because in order for a coin to climb the ranks, they must have a really good volume first. Even though he also mentioned old coins, not all old coins are top coins or are performing better, so it's better to be clear here.

BTC is always a good investment but it does not mean it can give us a profit any time since it's also highly volatile and bull runs don't come often or stay any longer once it arrives. Some top alts are still smaller than in BTC so their pump potential might still be high, no wonder why some consider them too.
78  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 17, 2024, 09:12:51 AM
⁤The potential results leading to Manchester City maintaining their lead, albeit by a narrow margin, sounds plausible. ⁤⁤The top three teams in the standings maintaining their positions would indeed keep the title race intense and captivating for fans and neutrals alike. ⁤But football is a sport with full of surprises, and anything can happen on matchday. anyway, whatever the results, These three teams are going to be three horses race for the title this season, because even if any team lose, the points gap is still so close.
This week the three teams you mentioned still have the chance to win and get full points in their respective matches. Because I'm not sure Chelsea will be able to hold off Manchester City to win at home this week, so the three top teams you mentioned still have the potential to have the same points gap after this week's match. Because the opponents they will meet in this week's match are opponents who are not stronger than themselves.
It is very likely that the three strong teams will collect full points again for this week's match. And yes, this will leave the point difference unchanged and the top 3 rankings will remain the same as now. I agree that Chelsea will not be able to beat Man City. And Liverpool will definitely be able to beat Brentford today. And Arsenal actually has the easiest opponent, namely against Burnley. So I also believe Arsenal will beat Burnley with a score of at least 2 goals.

But on Wednesday Man City will face Brentford and that's when perhaps a change in ranking will occur. And Man City will probably move up to 1st place and make Liverpool drop to 2nd place.
I have feeling top four teams will collect their all points and after 25 rounds we will have 50 points for the Tottenham as well which is now strong candidate for the fourth spot and also going to create good difference from other competitors like Aston Villa and Manchester United which are having tricky matches on road Liverpool and Arsenal are going to visit Brentford and Burnley with both home teams are having not ideal situation which can prevent them from possible defeat.

There is no doubt after few days we are going to have Manchester City as the league leaders because their performance and availability of all players are making things easier for them and things are also favourable for them which are good change for them now at the top we are having clear shape for the possible top four, but few are feeling we can face some dramatic change near the end, but it's not easy now.
79  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is ERC-404 the New Narrative? on: February 16, 2024, 06:44:02 PM
Yes of course, people need a new narrative, and ERC 404 was created, after BRC 20 yesterday it was time for an ERC to be created, maybe later there will be Solana and BNB, but maybe wait for ERC 404 to fade.
or maybe I'm wrong and erc 404 will take over the entire market.
No not all needs them because for some of us, the existing stuffs are already fine but the new narratives might still be a good addition to the space, though we should only be careful as some of them are scams and only wants to take our money. BRC-20 is still a new thing in crypto and for now it may be enough.

There is no need to rush and add ERC-404 immediately. Doing so will help them analyse it better so that the software will be less buggy. After ERC or ETH, next is definitely BNB while Solana is still long in the queue, so patience is needed for those who badly wants it. There's a chance for ERC-404 to shine but maybe not to a point that it will take over the entire market.

Burnley are trying to play to win, with all their might, so as not to be relegated and score in every match. As can be seen in previous matches with MC and with Liverpool away, they defend well. Arsenal, with a very strong and expensive squad, are determined to fight for a place. Match It may end in a draw. In friendly games, Arsenal only played the majority of the first team. They lost to Manchester United, won to Barcelona, City, in turn, conceded 3 goals from the Japanese team and lost to Atlético.
Now it's too late for the Burnley because they are having only 13 points from their last 24 matches and just 3 wins which are clearly giving all view how they have done in this season, and they have to go down for the improvement and try again Arsenal is surely at the top with their current performance and their attack is also at his best which is destroying all opponents and most chances they will be having enough time to spare them as well Burnley last win was in December against Fulham, and they also have two draw matches which are also against teams which are with them in relegation zone, so I am not expecting anything from them in this game against Arsenal to have any chance for their survival in this season.
