761  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match on: November 25, 2022, 09:29:03 PM
The goverment is too busy organizing and dealing with the fans maybe later when the world cup is over - they will catch the people acountable.
But I think this is not a good thing to do propaganda against any country or religion
It can be true that they are busy in regards to organizing the event but I don't think it was their duty to accommodate the fans. Fans should be handled already by the players or can also depend on their managers.

Now that Qatar losses the match, I hope the negative rumours about them are now going to disappear and the government won't bother talking an action after the event is over. They will just relax and then move on to their other projects. In everything that we do, there will always be a hater but I think what triggers these haters is the tragic event that happened to the workers on building the stadium (as seen on the above post by @Sithara007).
762  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: After FTX collapse, some call for a return to decentralized roots on: November 24, 2022, 08:25:42 PM
Well this debate between centralized and decentralised environment will be ongoing as long as the crypto ecosystem will exist. So let's not try to find a solution or a conclusion here! We all need to focus on what we can do to save ourselves from any future mishaps.

Just don't keep your coins in any exchange. Whenever you are done with your day trade, just withdraw the proceeds to your own wallet. That's how you can save your money. Crypto veterans have been saying this since a long time now.
Even if crypto disappears in the future, people are still going to talk about them sometimes because they are already part of the history. For now, the debate between centralized and decentralized will continue as long as there are still people who can't seem to learn their lessons and will continue to support centralization. Time will come that another cex or any other centralized entity are going to collapse again because there will always be people who are greedy.

There is no need to find a solution anymore because the solution is already been there lying around the corner. They are decentralized platforms. This is the one that people should focus on to end the drama.

Adelaide Strikers Women vs Brisbane Heat Women in the match Brisbane Heat Women won the toss and decided to bat. Brisbane Heat Women scored 132 runs in 17 overs. In this match Adelaide Strikers Women bowled hard and Brisbane Heat Women put a lot of pressure on the batsmen in this match.  It is performing very well.
Adelaide Strikers were better team before start of the match but Brisbane Heat done good job as they reach very good target of 154 with the lost of 8 wickets and now after this impressive performance in batting Brisbane women's are doing good job in bowling as well with very good start from their bowlers after five over 23 for 1 they are struggling and this could be good advantage for Brisbane Heat to bring more pressure and now allowed them to play freely as Sydney Sixers are waiting for the other team in this year's WBBL final which is going to play on 26th November in Sydney hopefully we will have an entertaining end of this match.

Indeed Canada really played well, the are very organized team and if they had quality in the front they would have scored a goal,the match shows that Belgium is not so a very good team and the world class generation of world class players are fading away, suprise to see Jan vantoughen and Alderwierd are still playing at the back, Batshayi is too average despite him scoring, hazard is a shadow of himself, for me the stand out players are Kevin debruyne and courtous the goal keeper and the rising star that plays for Brighton Trosard.
No doubt Canada deserves a point from this game and their performance which was surely amazing in their first game after many years in presence of many quality stars from Belgium they play impressive game and not allowed Belgium to take any advantage from this game in first half of the game Canadian approach was really aggressive, and they take good advantage of this but sadly missed penalty not allowed them to have led after this Belgium done good work and have better strategy which helps them for keeping alive in this game and take full three points from this game hopefully they could be improved side in coming matches.

KDB could be key player for them with new youngsters are also in good touch but need some more effort because things could be not easy in coming matches for them.
765  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Share your Crypto experience. on: November 24, 2022, 06:01:49 AM
I've been through a lot of experiences, especially since I've known bitcoin for almost 5 years, so whatever experience I've had, it can be said that it's like the ups and downs of water, sometimes we can survive when the market crashes or we even get out of the zone and sell all assets. because of the panic so it was a learning experience for me too.

It is very natural if your portfolio declines by a few percent because of the uncertain market situation even we see prices continue to be due to a lot of negative news that can affect it, one thing that many people can suggest is that surviving is better than cutlos with losses suffered we will definitely recover and that's great too you will continue with DCA rather than nothing, I followed the same strategy as DCA with the aim of lower prices being able to accumulate more at this time.
You are here for almost 5 years now so that means you started on the year of 2017. I think that was a great year. It wasn't too late or too early, it's just perfect in my own opinion. Water doesn't have ups and downs but water can only flow in one direction.

The better example to use is a roller coaster. It is normal to experience this because cryptos' prices are not stable but this is great actually because it allows us to buy and sell properly. Cut loss is better for those traders but for the long term investors, they don't sell at a loss but they are buying more coins when the price is dumping. They know that they can make more money more than what they have spent.
766  Economy / Economics / Re: Ontario Teacher's Pension Plan accepts their loss on: November 23, 2022, 06:08:23 PM
They've already accepted their loss and that means that there's no way for them to recover whatever is the amount that has been lost to them.

So sad that many of them, instead of enjoying their money, it is the other person that has enjoyed with their money. This is going to lose them credibility and they should make a plan if ever they'll still going to believe into investing directly into exchanges rather than buying bitcoin alone for which is the better thing to do.
They lost big but have accepted defeat very easily while those who lost small are seem to not give up until now. They are still hoping that they can get something. This is the risk of investing money in a centralized entity. There is a possibility that they will use your money.

I think some investors already know this fact but they still insisted because for them, they are still being paid by interest and their money still grows over time. It is said that this wasn't the first time ontario teachers pension plan losses their money. That's very unfortunate. I think after this, they will not do the same thing anymore but they will choose other investments away from cryptos.
767  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losing $350,000 because of a friend, what would you do? on: November 23, 2022, 01:45:33 PM
What we are trying to here is match the fictional part of movie with the real one which is very unlikely to happen as others have already told you.If someone is allowed to change the bets and remove chips then what's the fun of placing bet at all? So casino don't allow it but what if happens? You would not speak to him for rest of your life and end friendship with him but can't kill him  Grin The gambling is full of risk and even with the same bet you might have not be able to win that amount so take a chill pill and relax and creating imaginative scenes.
I don't think you can modify your bets once the game have started. It must be against the rules and you will not be qualified anymore whatever the result will be. It's not fun when someone joins your decisions but we can talk with them and tell them if what is the problem. They should stop after it and we can return to the game eventually.

Sometimes our friend can do that because they have an itchy hand and can't be contented on just watching you playing. It can also be a sign that they want to be involved with the game. We must not be angry with them but we can try to provide some capital to them if we have extra money. There is no need to break the friendship.
768  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Crypto survive? on: November 22, 2022, 03:08:24 PM
I worry that this may be the beginning of the end to many long lasting projects and potentially bitcoin itself...
I don't know if you are referring to projects in the sense of CEX or various altcoins that sprout like mushrooms after the rain, but Bitcoin does not depend on them, even if they all fail, Bitcoin will survive. What we need is a lot of firm regulation regarding who can start a crypto exchange and in what way, and that the same CEX cannot list various at least suspicious projects.

In other words, people like Kwon or Bankman should be made as difficult or completely impossible to play in the crypto world because, firstly, they do not know what they are doing, and secondly, they do not accept responsibility for their actions. Both of them should be in prison, and all their assets should be seized and sold so that their clients can at least partially settle, and when they get out of prison, they should be banned for life from doing any business related to finance.
I believe in both of them happening to be fair. I do not know what he meant, but I believe that both the small projects for tokens and coins will go down, but I also believe that some exchanges will go down as well, most of them are terrible. Just focus on what you can do with the most known ones and you will be fine.

I doubt anyone would be hurt if they buy bitcoin and hold it on binance, both the coin is great and the exchange is great and they will be fine, but that doesn't mean it’s that much of a problem. Let’s accept the fact that it's going to be a difficult thing to find that commonly, only a few coins and few exchanges give that much trust to people and you have to realize that.

Mediocre game for Netherlands. I expected more from them. Senegal deserved at least one point, but football is an unfair game most of the time.
So far the matches in the FIFA World Cup are pretty boring. A fell asleep when I watched Qatar-Ecuador, England-Iran and USA-Wales.
The Iranian team is obviously supporting the protests in their country. I expect Iran to lose all their games in the tournament.
Wales got one point only because Bale is a really clever player. He was smart enough to get a penalty and score.
Here I agree with you most of the time Senegal were in better control and their counter attacking style were also amazing as the match were playing my feeling was today we are going to have upset, but Senegal were unlucky with good performance from Dutch goalkeeper also help them for preventing having a goal but with this match now I have feeling we are going to have tough match between Ecuador vs Senegal because winner is surely going to be qualified for the second round Qatar is surely going to lose their all matches with their current performance.

Most of the Asian teams are going to lose their matches, specially teams from Gulf region and Middle East because they are not good in quality and skills are also not as they need to compete in this event.
770  Economy / Speculation / Re: Elon Musk says the price of BTC will rise on: November 22, 2022, 05:01:01 AM
I checked Elon Musk's profile on Twitter but I can't find the tweet do you have the source so we can see and it's not just bullshit from your mouth?

Everyone expects bitcoin to rise again but I'm not sure in winter it will come true, we know Elon Musk may have a bit of influence on his statement but this doesn't break any bitcoin price so I assume that Elon musk didn't say that.
This isn't the first time I see a post like this so maybe this was true and maybe Elon deleted his tweet now but that will be strange if he do that and it's also strange on why he will suddenly shill btc because he already cut his connection with btc long time ago. I think many of us will believe more if they are talking about dogecoin or even shiba inu because Elon was once a fan of it and he has no problems with it like he have with btc.

It will be hard for the btc price to rise now knowing that the trauma that we have last time was still there. There is even a positive statement from CZ in regard to that proof of reserve thing that will be conducted by the exchangers, yet that doesn't affect the price either. I think people are still adjusting.

Nkunku linked to real madrid as well as chelsea who become leading the race for the player , real madrid were too arrogant saying that with benzema they think it's enough and here they are ... struggling to find a good backup for him and the time is very tight .

Luckily there is a world cup and they could watch the rising star from this and get a contact immediately after the competition ended.
A bit difficult to predict which striker that will be taken by real madrid. As far as i know chelsea has been signing pre contract for him but you said that if real madrid was also interesting with him. I though that real madrid has been deciding to go to the osimhen rather than nkuku. It's not arrogant but that's reality. It has been so many years since benzema has the only pure striker in real madrid. I guess real madrid is likely to be more interested with osimhen rather than nkuku.
I will be waiting what striker that will be chosen by real madrid. This gonna give a good surprise.
Surely this is a bit difficult for the Real Madrid management, but they already have few players under their radar, but we have to watch who is going to replace as soon as possible because few weeks back we have rumour Gabriel Jesus is also under Carlos Ancelotti radar for the possible replacement of injury porn Karim Benzema and now this new Nkunku which is at his best for RB Leipzig in this season can join the race with third one is from Italian side Napoli Osimhen even right now nothing is official, so we have to wait for the response of Carlos Ancelotti what he thinks about this all but right now these are possible replacements with most chances Nkunku and Gabriel Jesus both are hot favourite if their clubs allow them to go Real Madrid.
772  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: November 20, 2022, 08:43:32 PM
In my opinion, no team will underestimate their opponent in every match, especially in the Champions League, of course, every team will appear at full strength to be able to win every match. Manchester city against Rb Leipzig is also a big match that will be presented in the round of 16.  both of these teams have performed quite well in the champions league this season but their manchester city is far stronger than RB Leipzig. Haaland and Foden are two players who have performed well for Manchester City this season. In fact, I think these two players will be played from the early minutes against Rb Leipzig in the first leg later, Pep Guardiola really wants to feel the Champions Trophy with Manchester City, of course he won't  underestimating his opponent.
Now we are in knock our round which mean no backup for any team they have to done their best on game day and right now RB Leipzig is also giving their best into Bundesliga with their record against Manchester City is also good so without any doubt we can expect tough challenge for both teams and here home match is going to be vital for both teams because last time City were unable to win against them with this now they will be well-prepared for this game even now we have three months and world cup results is also going to be vital for teams with any serious injury can create big problem and after break things could be much clearer for all teams which will give better shape of all teams in different leagues Haaland is surely going to be vital for the Manchester City and his recent form is not good but right now he has good time for setting things.

<...>but after I pressed they essentially admitted that I won more than they bring in.
That's a scam, then. A proper casino should manage its bankroll in a decent way and never allow you to win something they can't pay out. If they do, by action or omission they are a scam. It's a pity that we can't do anything about them from here, as they are not known on the forum.
I don't think it's a scam if they have attempted to process some of the op's winning and maybe that's the only thing they can pay for now while they are still looking for more funds and settled them later on. The perfect term to call them rather, is unprofessional.

It's not only about managing a bankroll but a proper/professional casino knows what are the things that is possible like what if some players win huge? They will think of ways on how to handle it, either by injecting more funds or by putting a bet limit on their games. Many casino have this function already. This casino here is not known in the forum before but now that this issue arise. Many are now aware of them.

Liverpool urged to sign Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante in 'incredible' Chelsea transfer swoop. Liverpool have been encouraged to sign Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante as part of an 'incredible' Chelsea transfer summer raid. The pair face increasingly uncertain futures at Stamford Bridge amid respective contract disputes.
Source: https://www.football.london/chelsea-fc/transfer-news/liverpool-mount-kante-chelsea-transfer-25556815

I don't think it'll be advisable for any premier league side to sign Ngolo Kante, I understand that he's an incredible player both at full and half capacity but he has gone past his prime amd now a liability for any club that sings him especially any club that intend to be competitive in their local or champions league. Liverpool should be wise enough to not fall for this trap suggestions as, there are better players out there that are worth signing. I don't think Liverpool would want a leftover of Chelsea and Mason mount rumors will just end as rumors as I doubt he'll be leaving Chelsea anytime soon.

All this speculations of him leaving are just strategy to use in negotiating a better deal for himself. Players use this all the time just as when Mbappe used the Real Madrid interest to get himself his current deal at PSG. Although Mason Mount shoudn't demand too much to put pressure on himself as if he gets on a very high salary and doesn't deliver weekly that'll lead to backlash and could affect his game.
Here I have to agreed with you as your all statement is correct with end of this season Ngolo Kante is going to be 32 even still he has 4 to 5 years in game, but he already passed his prime and now having player like him better Liverpool go ahead with any other youngster which can give better results for long time and about Mason Mount most chances same story happening which we have in case of Mbappe at the end he is staying here in own club with the increased salary and other benefits but still here as things going into Chelsea we can expect some changes until end of this season because now Graham Potter is going to take time for better results, and he can bring few players which he feels better and surely many players which were here just because of Tuchel strategy can leave club.
775  Economy / Gambling / Re: Betflexi.com Domain Name is Accepting Offers on: November 20, 2022, 06:14:03 AM
I love the name, it is indeed short, easy to pronounce, and has a good meaning to it, the ability to bet flexibly is a good feature for any casino and a casino with such a name already can attract customers even without heavy marketing.
If I had any intension of starting a casino, I would definitely want to know how much it would cost to buy this domain name, because sincerely, I love it, and I am wishing the lucky buyer good luck.
It may be short but there are other more shorter names than this. A few that I can think of are BC.game and stake.com. Not sure if that is what it really means (to bet flexible) but to those that will buy the domain, they will need to follow it because many are going to think of that and it will be contradicting if the site doesn't allow small deposits or small bets.

Marketing would still be needed because how can a gambler know that this casino exists if they will not market it properly? Also, I think there's nothing wrong to know if how much this cost even if you don't have intentions of buying it. You can try to pm the op or just click on the Betflexi.com link. There is a "request price" button that you can find there.

No time limit? And what if tomorrow the price is $30K, will they still be buying every day? Bukele are running a tactic.
I'm prejudiced, looks like he has already bought a lot from a few weeks/months ago and just waiting for the bull run. He tweeted to make it look like there was an "oasis" and people rushed to buy so the price goes up soon this year, going to $30K at least. Sell and buy again when the correction comes. Let's see how far it goes.
$30k was still a dumped price. Remember our last ATH was $69k but even if it goes back there, El Salvador still has the capacity of buying it because the government has a lot of funds in them. You are right, they already bought a lot because it's been a long time since they started adopting btc in their country.

If you and me are waiting for the main event which is the bull run then why not them? They are also a human like us that wants to earn a profit and that is why they invest on it at the first place but the money that they will earn won't be used personally but it will be used to improve their country more. The moves that they are doing can encouraged other people to do the same but isn't that great? Many wishes that there's a big increase that will happen this year.
777  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to prevent cheating in a game on: November 19, 2022, 06:49:52 PM
There are different types of players. Someone wants to win anyway, the other wants to win fair. For me the most exciting is fair play, even if i lose - it is fair. But i can`t be sure that the other players don`t cheat. The easiest example is when several poker players and connected by the phone during the tournament. This situation mostly possible on the tournaments with big prizes, so i prefer don`t gamble in such tournaments. And the easiest cheating mostly casino prevent.
Indeed it is exciting to play fair because you are using your true skills but if you cheat, then that is not fun anymore because you know that you will win easily. The only reason why some will still do it is they want to secure the prize money. I think there is a way to tell if the opponents are cheaters.

You will notice that in their actions but we always can report them to the casino that we are playing so that they will be banned immediately. Not just poker but there are other card games which are played by three people and two of them can team up together to beat the single player. I know it's discouraging but that shouldn't stop you from participating because there are times that no cheaters are involved or they got busted out earlier in the game.

I no longer hope that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be an important player this season at Milan, but he will be as important as last season for Milan as the leader and cheerleader of this team. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a great man for Milan's mental strength, so he probably still needs to be on or off the pitch for his current team. In the future, I hope he can become a coach for his current team, but if he is interested.

Milan is currently experiencing an unpleasant change in performance. They lost a lot of points so Napoli are really comfortable at the top of the standings with an 8 point advantage. I hope Milan will improve soon, it must be done if they want to win the Scudetto again this season.
Zlatan Ibrahimović and AC Milan is very long romance, and it's going to be had good strength just because of this AC Milan give him contract as they were well aware about his injury which is going to take very long time even most chances he is not going to play a key role in this team with age factor is also another impact.

Regardless, still having favour like this surely having impression how they love each other and now most chances this could be last season for this legendary player in all formats of soccer and after this he is going to be remembered for many years but right now things are surely not good for AC Milan even they are at second spot, but gape is widening, and another Challenge Juventus is also improving performance which is clearly giving them red light for improving their performance and having their best abilities for staying at second spot and not allowing others to bring them down.

There is no way Ronaldo is playing for Manchester United from now on. As far as I have heard the team wanted him not to come back to the team after the World Cup. They are already trying to find a way to sell him as soon as possible. Ronaldo shares the same feeling as well of course. Apart from rumours, I wonder whether there is really a team interested in signing him in January.

We have mostly mentioned Chelsea and Napoli. Chelsea seem more likely to me as Napoli don't need Ronaldo as they have Osimhen already.
I don't think Man United have released any official statement about Ronaldo so we can't decide what they will do next. As for his next destination, Ronaldo has already complicated issues for himself by tearing the team about and every club and coaches will be wary of him except teams that are looking at monetary side of the deal
There is no official statement from the Manchester United about Ronaldo's interview, but one thing is sure coach Ten Hag is not going to have him in playing eleven because he is feeling not good and surely this is going to create mess up if club done anything against coach wish specially while they are improving in Premier League ranks and their UEFA Europa Cup record is also impressive with this all having any softer corner for Ronaldo instead of coach is not favourable decision for club, but few are looking for Sir Alex Ferguson statement as well which is also coming soon hopefully after this club will try to sell him as soon as possible and try their own luck remaining squad and current coach which can bring good success at the end of this season.

but unless Napoli loses a lot of points, it is going to be hard for Milan to successfully defend that title.
This season still has a lot of games left. no need to be too pessimistic for Milan to defend their title.
Napoli has won quite a few points with the consistency of their game. and of course lucky because the other team played quite badly at the start of the season.
nothing is impossible with the difference in points. even Milan also managed to catch Lazio, Atalanta, and Udinese. when Milan manages to catch up with Napoli, it will make Serie A even more enjoyable. although I hope Napoli will finish this season well.
Napoli is leading the league, and they lost no match after 15 rounds which is amazing stuff right now they have most lethal attack in Serie A which is giving them best results, and they are also done good in Champions League where now they have spot into last eight as well because they are doing good job and AC Milan is having big task if they want to end with successfully defend their title right now eight points gapes is not enough but still want extraordinary performance from opponents with Juventus is doing good.

But, gap is still needing to be filled if they want to be in best now after beak they are going to face Inter which is also improving but most chances they could be settled this challenge with good result and having strong hold on their spot for few more weeks.
