I paid a $2 dollar fee for an transaction and its not been confirmed. I hope something is done about this really soon. Its very frustrating.

It was really unfortunate that Granada lost the game to Espanyol, they were really the dominant side in three games with far shot on target than even Espanyol whose goalkeeper kept them in today's game.

A match without any significance for Manchester United, who resigned to finishing 6th in the league and putting all their thoughts on the upcoming Europa League tournament final. After draw with Southampton, Mourinho announced at his press conference that he would come out with a lot of adolescents in this match, naming 4-5 boys from the school.

I hope Jose Morinho knows what he's doing because if he fails to win the Europa cup and a champions league place I b t he risks facing the axe. I don't know why he decided to give up on competing for a 4 th place in the league but it's better not to put all your eggs in one basket and he better be told the ramifications of his actions.

I really don't think Mourinho is going to face the axe if Manchester United fails to qualify for the champions league next season and we lost the opportunity to qualify through the league when Ibra got injured.

With bitcoins price rising at such an alarming rate, i wouldn't call it wise to be selling right now, i think its rather the best time to buy and hoard bitcoins, from the outlook its going to continue to rise all the way to even December. So its good to buy rather than sell.
845  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: May 19, 2017, 09:28:17 AM
Juventus has been dominating in Italy in recent years and battling all national records.
Is the first team to win 3 Italian cups consecutively, and will be the first team to win 6 consecutive Serie A.

Let's see if in the coming years Inter and Ac Milan with the new Chinese companies, in addition to Roma and Napoli will be able to break this domain

Juventus have been an amazing team, their demotion into the Serie B for the match fixing scandal seems to be completely forgotten as they are once again a powerhouse in the Serie A once again, But the league is becoming boring like the Bundesliga with one team mostly winning all the titles. I agree with you AC Milan and the rest of the teams needs to step up and make the league more competitive.

Less and less people are using bank accounts now, for my country for example, most people are using Mobile Wallets from the mobile service providers, People are disillusioned with banks and their charges, and sometimes it just too hard and stressful to open a bank account at times.
847  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2017 Football Summer Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 19, 2017, 09:10:00 AM
^ Yup.  It's Kante!

Anyway, after much speculation, it now looks like Antoine Griezmann is staying in Atletico.  He implied that he wouldn't be leaving the Spanish club when he said if ever he left, he would play basketball in the NBA.  Cheesy

I guess Man United would have to convince Ibra to stay for another whole season if they don't get a replacement.  Their attack is very blunt.  But hopefully Rashford will show signs that he's ready during the summer friendlies.  That guy needs to be on the pitch a lot to gain more experience.

I am sure Griezmann will change his mind once Man Utd qualify for the Champions League, he is stalling to see hoe everything goes, And Ibra is currently injured for a very long time, if he stays for the club, that will be good news but we will need a striker come next season. Rashford is still learning and cant be burdened to score all the needed goals for Manchester United.

I really doubt it ever will, if you do have some, sell it and get some Gold rather, gold seem to skyrocket whenever there is a major disaster and it seems that almost happens on at least a monthly basis. Gold is the best investment for terrible times.
849  Economy / Economics / Re: Is USD being used for illegal activities? on: May 18, 2017, 05:39:19 PM
I see more and more articles of the USD being used for illegal activities, such as funding of terrorists and unconstitutional, illegal wars, funding of wars that cause severe infringement of civil liberties like the war on drugs, among other things. I am pretty sure that when goons smash into convenience stores and steal stuff, then the money they probably steal is USD, which makes it criminal currency. Also, I am pretty sure that the baseball bats that majority of the goons have bought were paid for by the USD.

Also, most people collect rain water, drink raw milk, and throw cannabis seeds in soil, all three acts which are considered serious illegal felonies punishable by seriously expensive fines and extensive jail time, possibly life in prison.

Some people also walk, drive, fish, or hunt without a permit that can easily be bought for in USD.
 
Will this hurt USD in the long run? Will governments ban this just like they started to do with paying in cash for some services to harden the use of illegal activities, and money laundering?

In my opinion its far easy to use BTC for illegal activities rather than the USD, money can be tracked but with the anonymity of bitcoins tracking it will be very hard, kidnappers can demand it for ransom and it can be used to finance terrorism and money laundering as well.
850  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When to leave the game? on: May 18, 2017, 05:32:55 PM
As you know that you need to stop and leave the game? How can you feel this moment. I almost always lose their money because they can't learn when to leave the game. I'm not sorry to lose. I have a lot of money not to lose, but I can't keep the winnings if I'm lucky.

Most of the time what keeps people from leaving the game even after so many losses is the belief that they can recoup the monies that they have lost previously but that rarely happens. When you have lost so much that you barely have enough money for yourself for a week, i think you should know yourself that its time to call it quits.
851  Economy / Economics / Re: If Bitcoin had a stable price, would it still be as popular? on: May 18, 2017, 05:24:55 PM
Bitcoins popularity isnt due to its fluctuating prices, Bitcoins is rather popular because it makes anyone who wants to mine get some money out of it and does what makes it popular but its rising prices doesnt hurt though.

Last season three games were played between Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspurs with each team winning one and one game was drawn. Leicester City are playing at home today and am tipping for each team scoring in today's game.
853  Economy / Economics / Re: Bitcoin Wallet on: May 18, 2017, 05:03:11 PM
I am enjoying coinbase. It is user friendly and can be used on both platforms desktop as well as phones. Most advantageous thing about it is, it asks you only for email verification each time you logging. This is important when it comes to time limit. On other hand there are many wallets which asks you for your private key or keystone to access your bitcoin address which makes it very difficult to logging fast. So you can choose your wallet personally as per your need. There are plenty of them out there.

Coinbase looks good, but if you have ex Russian IP address they don't allow you to buy / sell anything. It's strange, because Bitcoin status in Russia is the same as in USA or Germany. Some other countries are also affected - https://www.coinbase.com/global?locale=en
It looks strange for me. The latest news has told me if russia will try to make a legal statue for the bitcoin.  But too many verification on coinbase, that makes so complicated to use coinbase in this time and especially they're included on the third party. It's not good for everyone to keep his money on there.

Never heard of this purse. I use the traditional blockchain.info . But I've already heard that there are more convenient services. Need to try

I am currently tired with stuck transaction on blockchain.info and am all ears to anyone who can please suggest another wallet that wont take forever to confirm a transaction.
854  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2016/17 NBA Season on: May 18, 2017, 05:00:31 PM
Cleveland Destroyed Boston this night (117-104).
Devastating Lebron James with 38 points, 7 assists and 9 rebounds.
I think Cleveland can also win this series for 4-0.

The Golden State-Cleveland Final is almost certain.

I don't think so. Remember that boston also lose two consecutive game on their homecourt against Chicago bulls and they come back again to win 4 straight in a row. It is still early to predict a sweep game on both east and west because this is conference finals. Boston and Spurs are not a weak team.
If a sweep is asking too much, then maybe five games are all the Cavs are going to need to wrap the series up.  Even if they lose, it’s not the end of the world for the young Celtics because this experience that they are getting is an investment for the future, which is so bright, being that they have the number 1 pick in this upcoming draft, plus flexibility on their salary cap. I’m counting on them to be contenders for at least the next five years and possibly enter the NBA Finals at least once.
what is important is boston showed they are still fighting even we seen that they are in underdog here, cavs with lebron is really unstoppable
people love seeing how the king really take this game on his shoulder and really aggressive to defeat their nemesis and defend the crown.

Boston is currently holding the advantage for being the top seed on the east that's why I don't see boston as an underdog on this game even though cavs are overpower. Boston still have chance to win once isiah thomas break the chain of his guard. He just need to focus and find some space to attack. A sweep game is not entertaining especially for conference finals game.

I really dont see any way where Celtics can win against the Cavaliers with the exception of key Cavaliers players getting injured which may be unlikely, as long as the King is around and with support from Kevin Lover and Irvine Cavaliers are assured a victory.

One game to go for Real Madrid, fans have been waiting for 5 years to regain this trophy after Jose Mourinho won it in 11-12 season, I personally also been waiting this moment too. They are closer than ever, what can possibly go wrong for Real Madrid in last game against Malaga. Just have to get positive result and they will of to Cardiff for the last and the most important game in this season.

It should be an easier job for Real Madrid since a draw result against Malaga will be enough for them to win the trophy. I think Real Madrid won't miss this good opportunity. Hala Madrid!

Even though i want Real Madrid to win the trophy this season, i think its really not over until the Malaga game is over, remember that Malaga beat Barcelona and drew against Barca again this season, so Madrid shouldnt be complacent in the match at all.
856  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is better? To gamble or to invest? on: May 18, 2017, 04:48:52 PM
I'm happy to join this argument. For my point of view, investment would be more preferable to gambling. I think, investment would create better profit than gambling. If you can manage a good platform of investing then your money would be in a good shape, on the other hand, if you want to participate in gambling then you can't be assured of gaining profit.

Not all investments results in profit, Some investment like fixed deposit and treasury bill will definitely result in a profit but stocks investments dont always results in money being made.
857  Economy / Economics / Re: Is bitcoin dead? on: May 18, 2017, 04:46:05 PM
I really think that if the developers of bitcoins dont do anything about how long it takes transactions to be fully processed, people will in the end become disillusioned with the crypto currency and move on to another which can guarantee faster confirmation because its becoming really annoying.
858  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Europa League/Champions League Lounge on: May 18, 2017, 07:18:50 AM
Juventus and Real Madrid are two very viable teams in UCL finals this season, as the two teams are very consistent throughout the match, especially Juventus. UCL's final of the season is an ideal final. Both teams share the same history and achievements. But as a clear Juventini, I will support Juventus to become UCL Champion this season.
if we compare the achievement from both of teams certainly Real Madrid is the best even they are the most successfull team in europe for this competition but this time Juventus would not let Madrid easy to beat them so probably we will see tight match however there is possibility to get treble winner if Juventus became the champion
Not all true, In fact, Real Madrid are the one that try to not let Juventus beat them easily. Juventus are clearly the better in history of this rivalry, they know the way to beat top Spanish team, and can't you remember that Juventus knock out Real Madrid in UCL semi-final two years ago. Real Madrid may have all the glory, but evidence proved Juventus won't be playing the final as a underdog, no easy opponent here.
indeed if we see from head to head statistics matches Juventus have better side than Real Madrid but if wee see the highest achievement Real Madrid far away better and i consider both of teams are equally strong and Juventus aren't underdog team for this final match however i can't wait to watching the match and see which team will bring champion league trophy


According to head to head stats between the two sides Juventus has one win more than Real Madrid and that was in a friendly match, the last time the two sides meet, we all remember that Real Madrid were eliminated by juventus. This year's final will all depend on the players Juventus has a great defense whales Real Madrid attacks and midfield is currently the best in the entire world, more emphasis on the midfield of Real Madrid.
859  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is more risky. Sport or casino bets ? on: May 18, 2017, 07:09:31 AM
I think casino bets are very risky compared to sorts bets, with sports betting you can win if you carefully analyze the team's that are going to play. You will have as greater chance of winning and even choosing the best betting option that suits you.
860  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is gambling so addicting? on: May 18, 2017, 07:02:59 AM
Even though I gamble a lot, I have never been addicted and will not call myself an addict, I always gamble within my means and I have never borrowed money just to gamble that's really stupid and only addicted gamblers do that. No one is guaranteed to win so why borrow to gamble at all.
