The midfield of any club is very vital as the midfield could either assist the forward and create chances for goals and also assist the defense in defending against goals.

Chelsea really needs an intervention in form of a great midfielder to be able to turn things around and make their midfield perform a lot better then it is now. They need a capable midfielder to be able to give accurate, consistent and effective passes that could very well lead to goals.
Kante is a very important missing from them, he was a very good defensive midfield who would both help with defense, and also allow offense to start. They do not really "need" to buy a player, if they could loan someone until end of the season and Kante comes back, that would be enough, that way they would play better until end of the season and I know it is not going to be easy to find a player like that on loan, but they could pay some other team to give their player until end of the season, and if Kante doesn't show up and leaves then they could buy that player as well.

This is why I think they shouldn't rush into buying yet another player, they are so terrible right now for it.

-snip-
So like I say in a little time cryptocurrency will be the only currency in digital market. So I urge every one of us to key into cryptocurrency as a means of exchange in any businesses we deal with.
In order to keep pace with the crypto industry for digital payment needs, global governments are still in the process of making their digital currencies pegged to local fiat, even allowing marketplace platforms to have their own digital "currency" option to buy goods. Your hope may not happen in the near future.
Before Bitcoin came out, there are already several digital payment methods but it's crazy on how they are over taken by Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I think that is the reason why they are inventing another new digital currency in order to compete and possibly beat Bitcoin but that won't be possible.

As for the marketplaces, I think it's not necessary to create their own digital currency because we already have tons lying around. They can just use these directly. That should save them time and money. Indeed, it's not possible if crypto is the only digital currency that will remain because there are people who don't know how to use it and then some governments won't just allow it.

I am also shocked by this as they banned those other gambling games as they can be addictive but what Ive found reading and searching is that horse races have a long history for them so it means it is already their culture and they are doing this, the same with other games like a lottery as the government earn money from it for their country. Though they said that it is for entertainment purposes I don't see a reason why other games are banned and those types of games are not.
If it's really addictive and many citizens are affected then one of the main solutions to combat the issue is to ban those games. In some countries they also do that even though those games are originally made by them. There is no exception. It was only gambling but what important is the condition of the people. There are still games or activities other than gambling which are also entertaining.

We can live peacefully without gambling trust me. It's only hard at the start but later on, we will get used to it. Even though they say that it's only used for entertainment purposes, there are people who still can get addicted with it. Video games for instance but a certain title of video games are also/already being banned.
744  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice on choosing a crypto casino on: January 24, 2023, 06:04:40 PM
My advise are to only play on those using Bitcoin as with Bitcoin you have volume whenever you want trade for buying or selling your coins. Altcoins mightn't have liquidly for you to sell your profits to fiats. Altcoins casino are also guilty of paying out in their tokens which aren't doing so well in a large scale but Bitcoin casino are always reliable.

Also look through the games the casinos have available. Some Bitcoin casino don't have much games as others altcoins casino so that should be put into consideration before chosing a particular casino. Your question aren't silly, is better to ask this questions now than regret it later when you're in a situation you could have easily avoided.
There are huge number of altcoins but many of them are like BTC which are also easy to sell. Only those who are new and have no interesting use case other than gambling are the only one who have a lesser liquidity but we can always check the altcoin that we will use only to be sure. There are still advantages of using an altcoin and that is they are cheap in terms of fees and they can be faster than in Bitcoin. This is why many people like to use them.

As for the games, I think it depends on the gambler. Some gamblers likes less and they are already fine as long as one or two of their favourite game is included on the casino that they are currently playing.

Congratulations on recouping your losses and beginning to profit from your previous investments. Only the strongest and most determined will stay and watch the market recover after losing so much. You are a good example of a determined and focused trader, and you are to be addressed as a long term holder beneficiary.
Given this, it is not advisable to make your earnings public; it is similar to a public market place, and you have no idea who is spying on you now and looking for a way to infiltrate into your savings. Be cautious and watchful with your investment.
I think the lesson that we can get here is to keep on hoping that everything will be just fine even during a storm and that storm is when the FTX collapse, as we all know that they play a major role in Solana but apart of that, Solana is also have its own issues. That took a lot of damage to the coins but lately I am seeing some positive news about the coin, everyone is saying that it is now recovering again.

That's great and let's hope this will last a long time and we should be able to pull out our profits before it dumps again. There is nothing wrong if OP show his balance. So many traders are also doing the same thing. Hackers can't just access it because Binance has a robust security.
746  Economy / Economics / Re: How is the cost of living in your country? on: January 23, 2023, 05:45:41 PM
The cost of living is very high. There is no price control or price ceiling for everyday commodities and as such the prices are 2X almost every week while everyone watch helpless.The cost of living in relation to the growth of the economy is rising in geometric progression.I can't stress how tough it is here. You need to work twice as hard to make at least $10. This wasn't the case 2 years ago. Most of my friends are starting to relocate with their families to the suburbs where things still make sense and is affordable.
It seems that your government is not doing anything to help combat those issues eh? Price rises for 2x every week, seriously? I think this is too much than compare to the rise of the inflation that is seen globally. Your country has set your own rates in terms of inflation. It's crazy that the cost of living there is high but the salary that you are getting is also low.

I think that wasn't normal anymore but to other countries which living cost is also high, their salary is also high so it doesn't really feel bad especially if one knows how to budget his salary properly. If the situation doesn't change too soon then you better follow the path your friends did.
747  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: $TRACE to $1? on: January 23, 2023, 11:02:40 AM
Trace Network can indeed be said to be a good project, especially if we analyze it technically too Trace has a very cheap price,
ou can see on coinmarketcap Trace is very in the lower ranks and in my opinion this token really can reach 1000% in a bull market,
if looking to buy Trace this is a good time for a long term hold.
I think all the details are already posted by the OP but there might be some that he miss so we can dig deeper to prove if this project here is truly worthy to have for the long term, along with other existing investments. It was cheap because it's still new but the majority of the coins are also dumping because we are still a bearish season.

It might be a good opportunity to grab your favourite coins as it seems that the market is showing a sign that the bear is now ending and then the bull run will replace it. Trace is in the lower ranks according to CMC but coins on the top list doesn't always mean to be really good. Some of them are just being pushed based on manipulations and hypes so don't worry.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: QUESTION: For Gambling Enthusiasts ❗❗ on: January 22, 2023, 08:48:08 PM
PvP games mean something because we can compete with other people for victory. We can also learn something that we can get from the game to improve the skills we have so that they are even better. And it will be fun to play with other people and compete with them and it will be more fun if we play with our friends.

But I don't play with friends too often and tend to gamble alone in my room. So I chose casino A because I play Slot games a lot.
PvP games have considered a norm today especially with the young gamers playing around, as this could help them develop more of their talents and skills, and to enhance more of their socialization practices. However, regular gamblers may not be quite interested in that kind of games, just like myself I still prefer to play with casino games like slot and poker. That’s where I think it’s more profitable and more entertaining for me.
It became more possible with the help of cheap smartphones and affordable internet. It's good how things evolved but it's bad at the same time because a lot of people especially the kids are now addicted with it. It will only be beneficial depending on what type of PVP game they are playing.

If we want to enhance our socialization skills then there is a better way of doing it. That is by going outside and talk directly or face to face. Not something online or through the help of social media platforms. You mentioned poker in one of the games you play but I think poker can be considered as a PVP too because you are facing other people and not bots.

I will also agree with you a lot because India will be the host of ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and currently India is leading in numbers and I also think that they are going to be the most favorite team in the upcoming World Cup .
But I think other South Asian teams can also take the benefit of playing in India because the weather conditions are almost same. Especially for India, Babar Azam's team Pakistan could be a strong competitor in the upcoming World Cup
With this all we still can't expect good results in ICC events which are mostly having not good for the Indians in last few years because mostly they lost in knock out round which is surely the biggest concern for them with they need change of mindset and having better mentality for win instead of having performance like this which is currently giving them success in bilateral series.

India count be hot favourite in this coming world cup with their form and home advantage, but things could be still not like we are currently talking most of the teams will also come with their best available quality player because now they all are understood how things works in India and for this surely have to thank sable to IPL which is having good awareness about this all and experience also matter which is now doing good job due to this franchise league.
750  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: [btc]-cookies on: January 22, 2023, 07:00:41 PM
I have read your comments in the posts above and will respond here.

- I still assume that the BTC-logo fell into the hands of the cookie designer by accident, and not because he is a desperate crypto enthusiast or it was so conceived by the prudent marketing manager of the confectionery.

- Pizza contest doesn't count. This food product is prepared at home, and not on an industrial scale (even if the confectionery is small).

- If someone wants to get cookies (a little bag of those) from the pictures above, then write me a PM. Grin (joke)

- In the end, I have a question: why hasn't anyone thought of mass-producing such cookies (or other food) to attract new customers? Imagine, chokopie or something similar with bitcoin logo. This can be especially true during the hype.

In general, even such simple cookies with btc logos will definitely find a buyer. Bitcoin community is vast. Someone wants to buy out of curiosity, someone for fun, and someone for a gift to friends and family.
If he only works there then maybe the people behind it are the real ones who are a solid BTC enthusiast and the baker is only being ask to print those logos. Pizza contest is a kind of contest but who knows maybe there are already business man/woman who put BTC logos on their pizza aside from accepting BTC as one of their payment methods, only to give honour to that pizza guy also because if not because of him then maybe BTC won't go this far.

Not all who got involve into BTC are a member of this forum and not all of them have the time to post what they are doing outside so we only think that less or no one who did the same thing but there are lots of them on different places actually. Good Luck on your business. It seems that you badly got inspired after seeing those BTC cookies and you want to help them spreading the word BTC Cheesy.
751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why you should choose Macau casino Lisboa gaming platform!!! on: January 22, 2023, 05:58:56 PM
If this is an ANN thread for your casino, you should be able to manage it properly and not just leave it after creating a thread.
How about KYC? Are there certain requirements for a gambler, be it a small or big gambler?
It may be true that you should provide more information for your site so we can understand it better.
Maybe you need to improve your site because I noticed that there are scrolls that you don't need to show.

You're right it looks like an ann thread so this should fit better on this> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=56.0 board. He shouldn't worry as it is still related to gambling but he will only get more exposure there and proper replies. And as you said, he might also need to add more details and then he needs to attach some pictures for it to look appealing.

Casino owners shouldn't underestimate these things because this is where it all starts. A bad impression about these can lead for a loss of client. Even though the OP didn't mention anything yet about the KYC, I think it's clear that the casino requires it because he said it was regulated and then it was also licensed.
752  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Good the bad and the ugly side of airdrops on: January 21, 2023, 08:41:01 PM
Old forms of airdrops such as spam on telegram or social networks can be said to be outdated and no longer bring any worthy rewards to participants. We should stay away from it to avoid wasting time as well as being scammed.

Nowadays, people have chosen testnet or retroactive as an alternative, maybe not every project pays to join, but the rewards are also very commensurate with the effort we put in. Those who still want to earn free money can try the testnet or retroactive, the chance of getting the reward will be higher than the spam airdrop and bounty.
That is true that old forms of airdrops. As I have said, most of those airdrops is because of ICO once again ICO is a thing a few years back and it is what I just explained just now. Anyway, there are airdrops we can join right now which is a not legit airdrop unlike those old airdrops I mentioned but we can't deny that airdrop is not a lot. Honestly, for a country with a fiat currency like dollar won't be a the same as other countries where in dollar is a small amount but in other fiat currency then it is not that small amount of money. In short, don't waste time in airdrops.
I think that one is called shilling and it's part of a bounty not airdrop. The old form of airdrops are fairly simple. You only need to share one post or you are also required to follow their social media accounts and then like their airdrop post. That's it, you are now qualified to receive a token. Sadly that has changed. Airdrops now have gotten more complex.

I am not even sure if they can still be called as an airdrop but they more like a mini bounty campaign now. There's also no guarantees if we can get a token because it works like a lottery now despite of all the hard work that you have done. There are other things out there which are more worthy for our time than the airdrops.

Utopia p2p is a great privacy based application . I am paying 0.1 CRP just to join my channel : JOIN_Channel
Are you talking about this coin here > https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/utopia/ but currently it's value is only $0.625 and then you are paying 0.1 CRP so that would only be $0.16. I don't think there are people who will be interested with that even if you pay them 1 whole CRP. If you are serious of getting people to join your group then you will need to increase your reward.

Anyway, I just found out that this Utopia is also like a group like telegram but with more extra features. All the time I thought it was a crypto exchange. Maybe this one is going to be the telegram killer. And it's on its way now. Other than you here, there's also sig campaign about Utopia which aim is to promote the platform as a whole.
754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 21, 2023, 06:34:42 PM
3-0 is the final score of this match. See how Frankfurt converted opportunities into goals, they created 3 shots on target and scored 3 goals. Apart from all that, I think Schalke can match the game from Frankfurt, but they are not strong enough in defense so that 3 goals are created against them. If only Frankfurt could have defended really well, I think this score would have been different. But this is what has happened, Frankfurt can win and at the same time make their position in the standings table 2nd.

Oh yes, the results that Freiburg got were far from what most people predicted, they had to suffer a very heavy defeat against Wolfsburg.
This result was expected as Frankfurt are doing from the start of this season now they are at the 2nd place behind Bayern Munich their goal scoring machines are giving them good response in every match in today match ball possession was mostly in Schalke players hands, and they were doing good job, but sadly they were completely failed to convert their chances which is surely going to have impact on them in this season and with this kind form they have to go back to Bundesliga 2 because they are still not capable of doing good here.

Now after 16 rounds just 2 wins and having 9 points mean they are completely down and out of the competition in next 18 games they need very hard challenge if they want to survive which is looking not possible with this current strategy and performance.
755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: January 21, 2023, 05:36:45 PM
Real Madrid is a very strong team. Every player in their team is performing very well. But I don't see any chance for them in the Champions League. In some matches, they are ensuring defeat due to their own mistakes.
That means they are not strong enough yet
This season's Champions League has very tight competition, several teams such as Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Napoli have improved their performance this season, this competitive situation will make it difficult for Real Madrid to survive in the Champions League with what they currently have.
Carlo Ancelotti needs to make improvements to Real Madrid's core squad
In last season, they were also not strong and won the Champions League because it's nature of this event mostly strong sides loses and have not fair chance to win, and we have teams which are not in limelight done good job and take the honour with this all in current season we have few teams which are not in limelight but have chance to do things like we have in past many times.

PSG and Manchester City both are favourite for many seasons and never achieve anything positive, with now we have Napoli. Liverpool and Chelsea which are not good and have chance of elimination early but can do things good and win of the title.

Carlos Ancelotti is surely one of the best person who is currently taking care of this all in Real Madrid and having all his strategy how things will go after their losing against Barcelona and now having better results for the future.
756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: January 21, 2023, 03:23:43 PM
I don't know whether that is the case everywhere. In India, the performance in the domestic 4-day competition (Ranji Trophy) doesn't guarantee selection to the national team. Guys like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sarfraz Khan have been performing exceptionally well year after year, and still the national selectors continue to ignore them. Even for the national team, the selection is made based on the performance in the IPL. Players with powerful backers in the IPL, such as Umran Malik and Mohammed Siraj find it easier to break in to the national team, while those who don't have this backing are always at a handicap.

Here are the top performers during the last edition of the Ranji Trophy. 12 months have passed and not even one of them was considered for the selection to the national test squad:

Surely this is big concern and not only in India this is happening in few other countries as well they are bringing players those have no good record in domestic and better players are not able to have their chances which is surely issue but no one can do anything about this all about India we have few positive things like now recently domestic leagues are improving in quality and performance which is good sign and with this pool is also very big which is creating headache for the selectors because they have to decide about only 15 to 20 players and it's not easy job for them to have things like these so just because of this many complaints and other mess up are also rising recently.

But hopefully things could be settled, and we will be able to have better fair system in near future which will end this all, and we will be able to have quality players in all formats from these domestic leagues.
757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: January 20, 2023, 08:11:11 PM
What is the exact reason PSG accepted this friendly? I am sure there was some money involved that part is obvious but they are not the type of team that actually needs the money, they are pretty rich anyway. I also checked the owners, and PSG seems to have owners from Qatar whereas Al-Nassr is a Saudi team, so it is not that neither.
Money is their main goal, they want to expand their football to the Middle East, but what makes me pitied is PSG's loss versus Rennes which has made me some money loss. we certainly suspect PSG don't play seriously on friendly match, because the match have sponsor to make the game is interesting to watch. So, it just tires them out because have Coupe de France versus Pays de Cassel on the next 5 days.
Money is surely having his impact, but one other thing is also having big impact in last few months specially after the hosting of world cup now these Gulf regions are very serious about this soccer adventure, and they are investing big amounts for having big names of soccer in their clubs with many Arabs are already buying clubs in UEFA.

But, recently we have good trend they are investing big amounts on their own leagues as well with this all PSG which is also had Qatari connections having shakes hands with Al-Nasser for this game which create good hype for soccer in Saudi Arab which is also now looking for the hosting of World Cup in 2030 or 2034, and they are already involved in this all for giving good image of this region with this game.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: January 20, 2023, 04:19:41 PM
As the two strong teams face each other in the second match it will be very difficult to assumed that who will win. According to the condition of the ranking, India definitely have the possibility to win the match.  I personally belief that If the top order batsmen of any team perform well then the number of runs can be very high. If one wins the toss and goes to bat then they have to give a big target to their opponent otherwise they probably lose the match. As we recognize pitch condition will favor of batting. But over all condition I think there will be more chances to win by chasing tomorrow.
I am not considering New Zealand as strong team because they are missing their few top players and having mostly youngsters those are doing good job against strong team like India in India which is surely big achievement for them specially as they fight into first ODI no one was expecting fight like this from them after having target of 350 and their batting struggling badly, but lower order provide them good chance for the win now we can't expect same performance from these lower order batsmen in every match, but one thing is surely if we have another batting track which is possibility then we can expect another big scoring match like first one and during this series we can expect one or two more double centuries from Indian batting order because few are desperate for having a chance against bowling line up like this on batting track.

Recovery of $5B cypto assets by FTX has contributed to the high in bitcoin price,many people will see it as good news and they will want to invest into bitcoin. The politicians and influencers who are encouraging SBF in the shitty game can even pump in funds just to influence the crypto market.

The bullish market hasn't come yet,we are enjoying the little increase which might not last but I wonder if bitcoin might go back to the bear market ant might be below 15k. this year or will it not go below 20k anymore due to FTX recovery of some funds.
$5B really? But, it's great that they still recovered it. The total amount scammed was $8B right? I am not sure if they still can find this missing piece because it was probably used for the different activities of SBF. If we want to invest in Bitcoin, we don't need to wait for a positive signs like this.

I know it's not an attempt made by whales to trap the investors but there are still a possibility that the price could collapse because there will be people who will sell their BTC once they see an increase. The best time to invest is always when the price is low. Until now there are still people who believes that the bottom is not achieved yet so maybe $15k or below than it is still possible.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum deposit and minimum withdrawal. on: January 19, 2023, 11:45:53 AM
Just from your illustration, one needs not to be told that minimum deposit and withdrawal have a very great role to play especially for new casinos who are trying to stay relevant in the industry.
Your illustration also stated that, the player was a newbie on that very casino and has a budget and I guess his budge was because he first wanted to test how good the casino would be when it comes to deposit and withdrawal and these are the first two things I have to think of before hopping into a gambling site because I wouldn't want a situation where it seems I got lured into the site with minimum deposit and when it gets to withdrawal, it then becomes very difficult to withdraw.
Minimum deposit and withdrawal has a great role to play in online casinos.
Indeed but I think many of them still underestimate it but they instead focus on other things which they think more beneficial for their success. They will come to a point where they still fail and they still haven't figured out that the problem maybe because of their minimum deposit and withdrawals.

Testing the site first is important so that we will avoid getting screwed in case there are some bugs and glitches but there is no way we will deposit big amounts only for this purpose because what if the casino is a scam? They can offer faucets and free credits but there are other requirements that can come along with them. The feeling is still different if we deposit using our own money.
