81  Economy / Economics / Re: Stagnant Salaries vs. Inflationary Savings Tax on: May 01, 2024, 08:37:27 PM
Which of these economic situations would you prefer to find yourself in?

A- Your salary is stagnant but prices fall. Where this happens, your real purchasing power has increased.  It's called constructive deflation. And even if your salary falls, but prices fall faster, you are still ahead.


B- Having your savings taxed 2%+ a year by inflation.

Drop your thoughts

very ambigous situation here. Scenario A is basically a dream that everyone wants but it wont ever happen. Its simple math, demand and supply so the only way for scenario A to happen is if somehow a huge meteorite hits the earth then it kills like 3/4 of the entire earth population

as for scenario B, its quite ambigous because you dont mention about salary but just savings so Im assuming that if there is huge inflation in this scenario then the salary rate should increase rate so the ideal option to pick would be scenario B. Its more stable rather than having to worry about deflation like scenario A

I was hoping we'd get a Champions League special between Dortmund and PSG, but instead, we got a Mavs special @2.60(Mavs to win and Luka to score 31 points). This is an easy skip after the Clippers won the last meeting to even up the series. They're improving as the series progresses and have a good shot at taking the lead after today's game.

Yeah its been a while since we get anything, I mean its about time we get some special though. NBA specials are fine but you know everyone loves football and even if they threw some unlikely to hit special on the floor, I guess everyone would just scramble to it somehow. Kinda miss the old days when we have all those football specials piling up for us especially on weekends

On an out of topic note, I really need all those remaining NBA games to end before the 7th game lol

Oh and, now I wish I listened to my gut seeing Alcaraz struggle yesterday and put Rublev in instead. Slight advantage for me vs notblox1 here, now the worst I can do on tennis question is draw.

So you were waiting for the result between Alcaraz and Struff yesterday huh lol. I guess alot of people were waiting on that result as well and I was one of it as well then I had something to rush for so I put in Rublev to anticipate if Alcaraz lose against Struff which turned out to be a good decision after all. Now I just need Rublev to make it to the final to get a point against Hhampuz

One of the leaders of Manchester United has held talks with Thomas Tuchel’s agent about potentially becoming the new head coach.
https://twitter.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1784655015166062691

So we are getting Tuchel potentially huh, thats not much of an improvement compared to Ten Hag and I'd really rather stay with Ten Hag for another season. I mean look at Tuchel though, this guy literally had the best squad in Bundesliga and the favourites of the league but he cant get the trophy so this guy is not better than Ten Hag for sure.

While this guy is playing with 'easy' mode with Munich in Bundesliga, Ten Hag literally had to go with 'extreme' mode on EPL. Thats a huge difference though

All deposit and withdrawal transactions are instant and play is conducted in USDT, providing convenience and speed of access to the game.

Decent.

Couple of low stake cash games with 1 mid and 1 high cash games table currently running. I cant seems to find any tournaments and previous tournaments though. Also couple of free tables running, Im not even sure why people are spending their time basically playing in a free cash tables without getting anything though. Its so weird

Sure will do. What is suggested time? Oriented on Europe or Americas?

Sticking with forum timezone seems like a better idea.

I hope everyone submitted predictions in Superbru website on time because they are not working now and showing Service Outage message  Tongue
Maybe this is just temporary problem but reminder to better make predictions earlier, and if you change your mind than make changes later.
Good luck guys!

Well this is a pretty well known issue for a while now. This outage is most likely caused by huge traffic flow into their website and it usually happens either like minutes before the first game of the league / cup starts especially if it is a big game or it usually happens like minutes after a round ended because most people flock into the website to check their scores. Normally most people should be good if they submitted their predictions not on the last 15 minutes or so

Gentlemen, a gentle prod to enter your picks before the first semi leg kicks off tonight. I'm feeling good vibes for Bellingham tonight, and even Modric. I feel like they're ready to flex, even if Kane wants to say something about it

I was about to throw 10 points on Real madrid to win then I realized that it wont do nothing for me even if I hit it so I decided to throw all my point on one of the special bet with higher odds. Cant remember what it is though lol

Yes, and it has been in OP that MD10 will be a combination of all these, since the pool was announced, so it shouldn't be a surprise anyway =)

No one should expect a yellow cap for so few games. I'll be even more specific in future, but who reads all those terms in OP anyway right? Wink

I guess most people dont lol, well atleast I would skim through it lol. Sometimes there are newer information that hasnt been put into OP though so yeah but atleast we have you that will keep on informing us whenever there is anything that we should know and obviously we love you for that !  Tongue

I think the coach has actually forgotten that when the players have proved themselves previously and that's why everybody is pointing fingers at him. If he did not have a good enough team, I am pretty sure that everyone was going to point fingers at the players. I understand that he is not trying to take the blame alone.

Chelsea was bad ever since last season and after they hired Poch, I immediately know that this guy wont really do much for Chelsea. His managerial career is not pretty good after all though. He couldnt do much with PSG and I knew on that moment that he wont do much with Chelsea as well so its just absurd for people to blame him because this is literally his limit as a manager

Anyway, compared to last season, obviously Chelsea is in better spot but still any of their fans that hope that they will get to top 4 with Poch as manager is just dumb

Now that decision could change because currently Real Madrid have not sealed Mbappe to move to the Bernabeu, there must be a twist but this will be the news that continues to be talked about during the summer and even in the transfer window.

Im not sure why are you expecting a twist at this point. Mbappe has stated that he wont renew another contract so that means he is free to go to whatever clubs that wants him. Obviously it would be a club that has a good chance of winning trophies and could afford to pay him huge amount of wager so Real Madrid really checked out both of those requirements.

Aside from that, Mbappe has always stated that Real Madrid was a club that he wants to go as a kid so there is no reason for him to go to another club at this point and I do believe Real Madrid has laid out all the contracts that they needed to bring him in for next season

So it looks as if @arallmuus had a win with Team Falcons taking the win this weekend aswell.

Yeah I won that one, it was quite a gamble though especially after the 1st map. I did make a similar bet on the previous tournament with XG making reverse sweep against Falcons to win the whole tournament. The odds was incredibly generous as well, I didnt expect betting -2.5 after they won the 1st map would be 2.8 though. I guess with ESL has been concluded, Im going to spend my time on cs2 for now instead atleast until next major tournament next month lol  Smiley

I'm impatiently waiting for the questions to come

-snip

What do you mean? The questions are already posted here in the thread.
-snip

He probably mean the next cup questions because those two will play against each another on the cup next round. He even had already submitted his answers for round 8 so yeah that should be in context for the next cup question



@Hhampuz : gosh chill abit will ya mate. Out of the 8 league rounds so far you have been the first submitter for 5 rounds, thats one heck of a accomplishment. As for myself, I havent even check the question yet lol so Im taking my sweet time to enjoy for now  Tongue
93  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🕹️ Esports 🎮 Prediction & Discussion Thread on: April 28, 2024, 09:55:03 PM
I thought that they'd be finished by Team Liquid on the lower bracket but it's a reverse power coming from the former Team Liquid who likes to be in the lower bracket and kicks every team that are in the lower bracket.

Nah if there is any team that would stand a chance to win against Falcons then that team would be Tundra though. They won once and I was expecting them to win another one against Falcons. It gets really boring for the pro scene whenever a team really dominate the tournament. XG won the previous tournament against Falcons before this but Im really waiting for the day that a team would knock Falcons out of a tournament

match that they've got was seem to be easy for them. It takes experience from them and malrine has already got a few major tournaments that helped him to grow in a short period of time. Ammar the F has also trashtalked pure to go home. Whilst for malrine, he keeps on chatting '))' for every game which is like a smiley whenever he's getting some easy lane and kills. Well, this is bringing hate to them but they're just having fun and it's just an in game trashtalk but in real life, they're all friends that are probably don't like each other anymore when one of their opponents are going to be serious and puts it into their hearts.

Im totally fine with trashtalk though and I really want to watch them bump up the trashtalk to another level lol. Its not enough, lets bump it up and gets everyone mad at the same time lol

What if you're contributing 'more' to the society but you're being paid equal to those who aren't doing anything?

Obviously there is a 'reward' but its not stated as of so. The reward would be fame and obviously higher position compared to the average joe. I dont think an entire country could  run a 100% communist country because that would means there will be only 1 leader and the rest would be equal but in fact most of the communist country have various job in goverment that is obviously have higher rank then the average joe

Utopia is fine, but in most cases it leads to destruction because that's not something that could and should work in a long time.

I got a crazy idea when I read this, communism might run pretty well in a small group of people that totally have lost their desire. Bunch of woosie or whatsoever that wont really contribute much either way

GG and well done to Team Falcons, they're secured now as top 3 and will be facing Tundra Esports.

Dang, I didnt expect Falcons to get 2-0 against Tundra though. I thought it would be pretty close, I had my expectation on them to atleast win a single map especially after they won on the upper bracket playoff

Anyway, I made this bet after Falcons won their 1st map, odds are still good and now 2 more win for Falcons without losing would be great



Betboom leading the 2nd map with first 10 kills though so its pretty interesting right now because Falcons rarely lose on early game
96  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 27, 2024, 05:13:28 PM
Now I want to ask everyone:
    Have any of you ever been aware of this technique before?
And do you think we can keep our savings and wealth underground by adopting this strategy and considering it the safest?
And that being said, how safe do you think it is? At this time?

There is no difference in keeping your money under your bed provided that no one knows about it and obviously in this century, there is no reason for you to go over the silly length of keeping your money. Yeah there is some consequences on keeping your money on banks and so does keeping it under your bed or under the ground. If you want a perfectly safe mechanism then keeping your fiat in form of crypto then put in a cold wallet, thats a perfect mechanism you are looking for

However if you are comparing between keeping your fiat under your bed and keeping it in banks then its still far safer to keep it in banks though

Even though I like G2.IG and BetBoom tomorrow to advance, i'll probably switch with the overs.

Gotcha, thats what I thought as well. Both teams from both games are equal though so good chances on pulling over maps actually



I might take a single bet later on for Tundra to win, I personally think they are capable of winning though especially after they won against Falcons. There isnt that many team that could actually handle how Falcons play even Team Liquid was reversed sweep by Falcons yesterday after winning the 1st map

Remaining Cup qualifying results are:

Match #4   
arallmuus - slaman29   2-2 (2-4 pen)

@slaman29 : well good game and get going to the next round mate, just dont get your ass busted on the next one. Atleast make yourself get into semifinal before you got knocked out mate ! Now that I check my answers, I was a fool to actually put yes on over 2.5 goals lol. Between Vini and Bellingham, I actually thought that Bellingham would have atleast play for 30 minutes then contribute somehow
99  Economy / Economics / Re: Not your keys not your funds Banks on: April 26, 2024, 08:57:32 PM
In the future the new money system should be that at least some amount what you have in bank account for example up to 30k $ you can transfer into your private self custody wallet, i heard that's the plan and yes its needed.

I believe this is not going to happen because you the marginal reserve ratio are just 10% so all they gotta do is hold 10% of the entire funds entrusted to them in form of cash then they are free to use the rest in investment. What you are suggesting is not possible in fiat, its only applicable in crypto and there is no reason for banks to let you keep your own money in private self custody provided by them. Its just weird

Banks provide their service by keeping your money safe from robbery but in exchange, they are also using your money as part of their investment plan. It has been like that for centuries and it will be keep on being like that

I have always said that Chelsea problem does not lie on the coach. Chelsea has a problem or problems that is more than the coaching.

Pretty sure that this is also what people say about Manchester United but you know the difference between Chelsea and Manchester United? Chelsea are far more inconsistent compared to Manchester United. Im gonna say it out loud, Manchester United sucks and yeah we sucks especially because we had a very incosistent defence line but with Chelsea the whole team is very inconsistent. They could win 4-0 today and lose 0-4 tomorrow so that is an issue that probably the coaching staff had right now so that responsibility lies with Poch
