81  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: "Meme" coins are ruining everything on: May 06, 2024, 04:35:24 AM
Ruining the people who believe them, but not us really. I do not think that they hurt the general market, I used to believe that the money that goes into them could have gone to other stuff and would have made crypto market stronger. But, I started to realize that if people who invests into memes right now, did not have meme projects, they would invest into other shitcoins instead.

These are the people who want to make 1000x and actually believe that they could somehow do that, which is insane when you think about it but the reality. Which is why I think it's clear that we are not going to get anything good in that regard, we should avoid these people and let them carve up their own part of the market and deal with their stuff there.

Arsenal is trying their very best, 4 wins after that loss, but that loss alone made it possible for City to get the title possibly. They have been winning even more, and they got the easy win this week as well, and they have one game missing, so City could win that extra game that they are missing and be 2 points ahead of Arsenal.

They need to get a tie, to make it even and in that situation things will change, but I do not really see City getting a tie or a loss in any of the games left for them, it looks like they are going to get this type of easy wins in all of them. Arsenal will be quite sad about this, just one loss and because of that they are second, but it looks like they are still doing pretty well, they build a great team and will win it eventually for sure.

Verstappen doesn't surprise us as usual.  Grin  One-lap timing is the best thing Ferrari is at normally but it is still very difficult to beat Verstappen's time. Leclerc was able to beat his time quite often in the 2022 season. He got like 9 pole positions. But this dropped by half in the 2023 season. Now I don't even know if we will see Leclerc getting that many poles.

Ferrari has lost quite much power even in qualifying. They should start with gaining more speed here and later they can improve their race pace much more as well.  Smiley
Basically, the difference between the cars grew as well, this season Perez has been amazing, even last season he wasn't that great, and previous year too, but this season even Perez is second place in many races, or at least gets a lot of overtakes and finishes better than expected. I would assume that even Mclaren is at the level Ferrari is at right now, if Norris wasn't hit at the start of the race we could have seen him finish higher than at least one Ferrari car, maybe both of them.

At the end of the day, we are talking about a team (Ferrari) who is not getting better at all, which is a damn shame but that is the reality. Where Newey will go is the biggest question, will he retire a rich man, or will he continue? If he does, is it possible for Newey to go to Ferrari? A Charles-Hamilton-Newey trio could actually be amazing for Ferrari for sure.

Leverkusen is doing wonders this year, and one of the biggest reasons for this is naturally Xabi Alonso. It would not be normal for such a coach to leave the team after such a season. If they want success so much, they should not disrupt the dynamics of the team.
Leverkusen is very close to breaking records this year, it is not uncommon for so many championships to be won in a single season. I respect them so much this year
I feel like if he wanted to leave, he could have found a team that would have paid a lot more for him and that is why leaving would have made sense. Even right now, if he decides to go back on his word and go to another team, he can find a team that would be willing to pay double what Leverkusen is paying for him and in that situation Leverkusen has nothing to do, they have to just accept the fact that he will leave.

Even right now, we know that he will stay next season, but if they do well enough next season and win something there, maybe repeat Bundesliga title again, then Xabi will definitely go to a bigger club for sure.

Thankfully not a lot of people who understands how any of this works ends up losing money, it is all the newbies who should have stayed away to begin with, that ends up with a problem, and those should stay away anyway, and they still end up with something that causes them to just focus on something else.

I understand that newbies want to make money as well, but you can't just make money because you want to, and taking a huge risk like this doesn't guarantee you to make money neither. If you insist on this, and do it as a newbie, and then end up losing money, that's really not something I would be saying anything about, because you "sort of" deserved to lose that money, because you did something you shouldn't have done to begin with.
86  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Solana might be next leading, after Ether & bnb. on: May 05, 2024, 09:58:32 AM
That does look like a possibility, SOL is handling the whole TPS thing quite well, and they have a lot of stuff going in it while still keeping the transactions fast and cheap, which is a big achievement and I believe that they are going to be quite strong.

I just think that the best thing to do in this regard would be just realizing that we can't make that much money from SOL when it's already that high, which means that if I am capable of making the same amount of profit from SOl as I can from investing into ETH or BNB, then I do not think that there is a good enough reason to invest into it. I am willing to do that if I have to, but I would try to avoid that if I could, that feels like that would be a lot better result.
87  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: May 04, 2024, 08:20:04 PM
This week would be quite important week because it could basically decide on the winner. After this week there will be only 3 games left, which means that if Galatasaray wins again, the leftover points would be 9 points, if they get just 5 points in them, meaning even one win with 2 draws, they are still the champions. On top of that, even if they lose both games, but they win against Fenerbahce, they are still the winners as well, so it would be near impossible for them to lose after this point.

I am expecting them to win all four, they are doing pretty well, but usually teams who are on a long streak, end up losing to the most unexpected bad teams, and that may happen here too, which is why I feel fear when I am betting on them to win the game.

I am sure that Al-Nassr is super happy about being in the finals, but they should realize that they are going to be playing against the best team in the nation for that cup, which will not be easy.

Al Hilal will want to do the double, they already won the league, and they will want to win the cup as well, which is why it feels like we are really not looking into anything that is going to be easy for Ronaldo and his teammates. I am not saying it is impossible, but the fact that we will see them at the final game means that all they have to do is win one more game, just one game and they are going to end the season with at least one cup. Will they be able to do it? I really don't think that they will be able to pull it off.
89  Economy / Gambling / Re: Roobet.com | Crypto’s Fastest Growing Casino 🦘 on: May 04, 2024, 06:38:24 PM
Probably many large casinos, such as Roobet, will also begin to use payments via LN.  And although this is apparently not easy to do, it is worth doing one of the first. 
We just don’t know how the Bitcoin network will continue to load. 
I doubt that. LN is pretty much old tech at this point and it never really took off despite several improvements here and there thanks to various limitations which is why it isn't an ideal solution to bring down fees.
LN Imo is not necessary anymore for casinos as even if bitcoin will again increase its fee, gamblers can easily shift to altcoins which fees are still very low and less complicated. Gambler wants simplicity, because gambling alone is already stressful if you are challening yourself like continuously experimenting until you find the winning method, so we want to make it simple on the payment processes.
This is totally true, any gambler who wants to pay less fee, would end up using altcoins, or even stablecoins as well because that seems like easier.

With stablecoins you could use chains like TRC20 for example and make it near instant and lesser fee, which would mean that you would not be spending much time or money on moving it around, on top of that you do not have to worry about the price of any coin, you don't care if it is going up or down, you just deposit stablecoin which means that you are going to end up with a good result anyway. I get that it may not be feeling all that great, because we like to invest into crypto, but it is what it is so we shouldn't really worry about it at all, we should consider that as normal situation.

Did not expect Ricciardo to be at such a good place, but if I learned anything from watching f1 for this long, I can say that he has a huge risk. Cars behind him, at least a few of them, have better pace, which means that they will try to just go past him right on the first lap, even maybe first corner as soon as the race starts.

That poses some risks, because when the race starts fresh, overtaking is harder, when it is like lap 25 or something, it is just you and the other car and usually most often is on a straight, with drs, that is how majority of the overtakes are, here though on first lap, you get no drs, and it is almost always on the corners. If Ricciardo can end up being fourth by lap 3 or so, he would definitely end with a great result, but I fear that he may get hit by someone.
91  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Now that Bitcoin halving have been completed, what next? on: May 04, 2024, 08:17:00 AM
Just keep waiting for it to grow bigger, I am sure that people will realize that it is not that simple and you will eventually realize that you are going to make some good money with it. I am not saying that we are going to all make money, because it's clear that some people will make more money than the others, and some people will even lose money as we have seen a lot of people sold right now and some of them will not buy back.

But, I guarantee you that the price will skyrocket higher once again, it is not going to stay like this. Very soon, we are going to go beyond all time high price again and when that happens there will be a lot of people who will regret selling in the past week. That is why I am holding as hard as I possibly could.
92  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: If all your wages were paid in USDT, would you accept it? on: May 04, 2024, 05:38:04 AM
I can see why one would consider BTC as a salary option because I get that too and it's definitely a good way to make it work. However, USDT doesn't make sense, of course we could just get paid in USDT and turn it into USD right away, there were few times when I was paid in USDT for example and all I did was just get it to my bank account and just use USD and didn't hold it as USDT for more than 5 minutes I think.

It is literally fiat currency that is created fake by some company, there is really no need to trust this, I can see why moving it from one place to another could work well for it, but holding it makes absolutely no sense to me a tall and will definitely avoid that as much as I possibly could. Not going to really trust USDT as long as I am alive for sure.
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: May 03, 2024, 08:06:52 PM
One start would be just showing the downsides of gambling and promoting that. We usually have a lot of casinos promoting a lot of their gamblers end up winning, like casinos are just charities and you just go there and win so much, they always promote the wins. But nobody really shows how much people lost

 One great example would be that some guy bet 50 dollars and won 42 million dollars just recently at a casino, that's really just as huge as it gets, never seen anything bigger, by far the biggest win I have ever seen, it was a jackpot. That was promoted everywhere, but nobody talks how that casino got the 42 million at all, they are not talking about anything at all, that's the most important difference in the end.

It is quite interesting to realize that we are watching something that we did not expected, which is BFG getting some attention and in the casino world, the casino tokens usually do not have any interest at all, and no volume at all, so BFG is at least trying. I am not saying that it is a great investment, if you do not want to invest into it then I totally understand it because it is not really that great feeling to invest into the only successful one, because you fear that what happened to all other casino tokens could happen to this one, and I get it.

But looking at the LP and the volume, we can say that it is not really that bad, many people assume it is not that great but the reality is that it is as good as it gets right now.
95  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2024 NBA Season on: May 03, 2024, 07:20:42 PM
There are very few games left, lets see how it is going to go, some teams who nearly swept or swept their opponents on the first round, ended up resting a bit and that is quite good, specially if they do end up facing teams that played until the very end, because that means the rested team will have a much higher advantage, and I believe that betting on those teams to win the first game, even if they are not at home, would be a smart decision since it would mean that the rested team would be able to win with a good margin.

This isn't all that simple of course, but I just think that we are going to end up with a result that would be profitable for people who take advantage of it, or at least betting live would make sense in that regard.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In Your Country Who Gamble More? Young Ones or Elderly Ones on: May 02, 2024, 09:24:32 PM
It is different from betting to betting. Elder ones like the scratch cards and lottery and all that kind of stuff, whereas young ones prefer sports betting. In fact it is such a huge huge difference in sports betting that, I could say that 90% of the people who bet on sports games could be people who are under 30 years old, whereas people who play lottery are probably people who are over 60 years old.

That type of difference is quite important, we should definitely consider that as a possibility and would definitely end up with a greater understanding on why young people prefer sports betting instead. Basically, I would say that gamblers understand the risks of all type of gambling which means they look for sports betting kind of skill based things because it would provide them both thrills and profits.
97  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: May 02, 2024, 08:33:03 PM
Ronaldo scored a total banger, not the later goal, the first goal. The way he turned and scored was definitely a sight from the peak Ronaldo days, he wasn't established at all and he still managed to put the ball in a place where neither the defender nor the goalkeeper was capable of hitting, that is actually a great shot.

The game was Al Nassrs right, they played amazingly and they won. I think it's clear that the final game will not be easy though, we are talking about Al Hilal here, and the yare the leaders of the league and they have played amazingly all season long. So, expecting Al Nassr to beat them would not be all that easy, however I have to say that they will have to put 100% into that game to be able to finish the season with at least one cup.
98  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: May 02, 2024, 07:48:05 PM
Tottenham definitely looks like they are better than Chelsea, don't get me wrong I am not talking about the squads because if we are looking at the squads then I could say that it's clear that Chelsea has a better squad and it is easy to expect them to win this game if we just look at the players they have, which is great and all.

But, I think it's clear that we are talking about a situation that won't be similar because it is not always the individual talent of your players that decides the game, it is more about being a complete team and I believe that Spurs are a better complete team and they play better together, which is evident from the league position that these two teams have, you could see the difference in points clearly.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: May 02, 2024, 07:18:10 PM
Adrian Newey leaving is a terrible terrible news for Red Bull, because there will be the famous 2026 changes, and when that happens they will need a car that is amazing, and Newey is by far the best designer in the world, without him they are not going to build a car that is great.

If it is all about just money, then Aston Martin has a very rich owner, and he is willing to get his son as much chances as possible, father stroll already hired bunch of engineers from red bull to have a decent car, if he could get Newey as well then I am assuming that with 2026 changes then even Aston Martin could end up with the best car and it wouldn't be a shock. Plenty of teams have changes when you look at regulation changes, so it is all going to be a surprise to us all.

Bayern Munich will get an easy win for sure, al ot of people think that there could be something that will go wrong here, but I bet that we are going to end up seeing Bayern Munich get a very easy win.

Yes, they ended up with not a great season at bundesliga this season but I guarantee you that they will get this win because they are Bayern Munich and when it matters they end up being a lot better team. Look at the difference between Leverkusen and Bayern, Leverkusen almost lost to Qarabag during the europa league competition and barely get away with it, whereas Bayern ends up beating everyone at UCL and even got a tie with Real Madrid on the first game. Don't get me wrong of course Bayern may lose too, but they care about winning when it means the most.
