The diplomacy carried out by the management of Barca and Xavi to get great players who currently fill the Barca squad really deserves a thumbs up. chelsea (who are competing for kounde too) will definitely be very upset with barca for losing the competition for kounde.  barca must be able to get the trophy back (la league and even UCL) so that all the struggles they put in to earn money, pay off.
Yes indeed they have to get achievements that can pay for everything they do in this transfer market, if they don't get achievements, at least their performance changes significantly. If they are still the same as last season, then I can say they failed in this transfer market, despite the quality players they brought in for a lot of money.
I think if they do not get big achievements, it will be a very bad ending for them. They already took so much trouble to reach to this point, and their income will be much lower for a long time. Which means that they need to win the league and also go further in the UCL instead of being eliminated from the UCL and then from Europa as well.

This is why if they could be like at least semi finals of UCL and win the league and the cup type of team, then they would be fine, because that difference would be bigger than the last years situation and the tv rights combined. This is why they made a good decision if they end up having great results all season, for many seasons in a row.

I heard that they have a huge debt in other countries and that causes the country economy to collapse. Sooner or later I believe that my country will make a protest as well. Inflation in here is very bad, working from 8 to 5 jobs cannot provide you a better budget for the whole family, I needed to have multiple work so that I could have a savings, our country's having a huge debt as well and even in the few next generation it will not be paid so easily, consider that dollar is getting higher in here.
These protests are not going to work ...people will get used to it.
Inflation trouble is everywhere - people are in stress because they have so many things to deal with it. .  . the health, wealth and other stresses.
The thing is, when you have a protest, it is always about every person, but there is no roadmap to fixing it. I mean think about it this way, let's say you have a president that failed to make the country better and you guys are doing horrible, that's actually quite a few nations explained.

80% of the people protests, and they make the president go away, and now you are rid of the person who destroyed your nation. What's next? That's the problem, that's why it would never be fixed, we need to make sure that there are organizations and people who would take over and actually do well with the people, and there are rarely any in most protests and that's why it never gets better.
903  Economy / Economics / Re: Avoid loan apps, a word of advice. on: July 25, 2022, 04:35:29 PM
In my place itself ? there are so much advertising happening about this kind of APPs that lets you loan a money with a promise of small fee , but if you take a look deeper then you'll see that they are not really giving you advantage because the term is longer that what is normal.
and also most of them will even bother  your family and friends if did not pay the amount promised per month or weeks.
avoiding those apps will also save you from deep of loan than your normal living .
In fact, I've even experienced sometimes they call me and encouraged me to take a long offering a low percent interest rate. I decline as I don't find it very reasonable to commit a loan online which I really don't know them. So many issues with these APPs and the people behind this as they are somehow rude, they'll talk to you nicely at first but at the time you can't repay them (just late) you can really hear threatening words which is not an appropriate action to be made.
Yeah, that kind of hardcore mafia like loans are not the way out to be first. I get that some people do not have any other option, it is either homelessness or getting some loan and "hope" that things will turn around and you will do better.

We even have that in the lending sections here, people who get something between 100 bucks to 1k dollars, maybe that looks like a small amount to you but the world is filled with nations who have 100-1k per month living average, so you could get like 5 months out of the way with 1k dollars if you could get it, and during that 5 months they hope that they could find a way to make money and repay that back. This is the "last resort" type of thing for these people, not for everyday normal people.
904  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling in Moderation, Pros can out weigh its Cons in Financial and Health? on: July 24, 2022, 10:20:54 PM
The ancient Stoic philosophers wrote a lot about this in their time.  The most famous Stoic philosopher was the Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius. 

Stoicism is an ancient philosophical doctrine that promotes moderation in everything to achieve psychological and physiological balance.  In modern science, this balance is called homeostasis.  The Stoics taught that too strong emotions should be avoided, because they put a person out of psychological balance. 

Stoicism applies to gambling as well.  Don't try to win too much.  You also need to try not to lose too much.  The player needs constant control over their own emotions.
Seneca could be one of the most famous Stoics of his time as well (what's up with romans and stoic ideas? lol) and he had similar sayings about this as well. If you do not achieve that balance then you are going to be chasing one too much and end up with going too imbalanced and would result with something wrong.

The best thing in life is the moderation, if you do not live your life on that balance then you are going to lose your balance and fall. Gambling is the same, if you do not gamble at all then it's fine, if you gamble with just free faucet stuff then you will not find it enough, and if you gamble millions then you will be upset when you lose, so find that right balance.

Bayern Munich are now losing 1-0 against City in their friendly match. It could be, it's a friendly match after all, but they almost didn't have positions throughout the match. City played very dominant and they are leading 1-0 with a goal from former Bundesliga striker Haaland. Bayern Munich's squad this year looks very good. I think they are competing for the UCL title but it is very difficult if they play like that. They don't have Lewangoalski anymore, they need to make the attacks more organized.
Friendly matches are not very important, they allow us to see the situation the team is in. But I think Bayern will really struggle this year. They played like a pretty weak team against City, they had almost no scoring chances and they could not attack effectively.
The team needs to solve the problem of scoring goals as soon as possible, I think we will see this situation improve in a few weeks Smiley
I think we can't understand if they will be bad or not from just one game. I mean City is a big big club so losing to them means nothing, but it was also one of the earliest games they had with this same roster, probably not even any other so far, could be very first. Hence, I believe that we should probably consider this as nothing, so all in all we are talking about something that is rarely ever a good or bad thing here just because it was one game.

They built a team that is much much better than their opponents in the league for sure, they were already better, and they became even better and took that gap to a higher level. So I guess we will have to wait and see.

I guess it's better if we hear someone approaches us and really interested about bitcoin and maybe we can teach that individual.

But as far as putting efforts and going out and telling the public about it, yeah I agree that it's better not to do that, as we all know that they might have built their idea on bitcoin already and it might not be positive. And the thing is, individuals also like to put blame on someone specially if they fail. So if by chance they lost their investment because they thought it's a get rich scheme, then perhaps you will get a bad rep and the blame is on you.
That's true, if there is a person who would love to learn more about it, then it would be much simpler to talk to them because they would be interested even before you start to talk and they would listen and learn a lot better that way. However, we are talking about something that is much better in the long run if we could do something that would teach everyone, like a blog.

We have A LOT of websites that talk about bitcoin of course, but if we could make things simpler, like seriously simple, with images to show how things are done, then we could talk about not only what bitcoin is, but what you could do in the crypto world as well and that would get a lot of clicks. Faster and better than just talking to one person.
907  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - 🦉 Drake, UFC, Watford Main Partner ⚽ 🥊 on: July 24, 2022, 05:42:29 PM
The idea to have 100 BILLION bets is beyond bonkers. This place was celebrating a few billion bets when I first heard how big it got, I mean I have been "here" since primedice and all that hufflepuff story for example, so I could definitely say that this is going to be something that would be a mean thing to say it didn't started "that" well but boy oh boy, stunna took this place to 100 billion and I was there to see it all. I love this place, this is my favorite place for sure, and to see it grow from "here is some free money faucet, test our dice!" to "drake would be giving out a million on his stake stream tonight" is just unbelievable.
Yeah, I remember those days too, I was here on V2 update on Primedice when they managed to stop the macro faucet abusers. At the end of the day they got partnered with others as well, Stunna is not doing this all by himself anymore.

Well, technically speaking he was never doing it himself, he had lawyers and staff and many other things working for him and with him, so he wasn't just a single person but he was the owner at least as far as we know. After that, he became partners with others and I do not know the deal, but that's when things started grow to an insane size. I believe that Stake is doing everything they should do the best way possible and I like them because of that, they always do the right thing.

This latest technology is claimed to be more accurate in monitoring offside violations in a match and this latest technology will replace the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
It isn't going to replace var, they will both be used in this world cup. Could you probably be predicting it will replace var in the future, if that is what you meant, i don't wish the same, i can only hope this ends with the world cup, it should not be brought into our leagues, var has already made football slower and a little bit boring sometimes, i hope we only have to deal with it, and not another technological inclusion to football.
Even when using both, one of them would be to make sure that offside wouldn't happen anymore, and everyone could make sure things are smooth, while the other one would be used to repeat the action and see if it was a correct one or not. I mean think about it, if the goalkeeper touched the striker and that's why it's a penalty, or didn't touch?

This has nothing to do with the new tech, but it has everything to do with VAR,, and that is why we are going to see both of them at the same time. Hopefully we are going to end up seeing plenty more people who will understand the difference between the two, and this will definitely a good testing ground and spread to every other league if it works well.

Listing fee is really free, Binance just charge them for other fees that related on token trading liquidity since there’s market maker on exchange that will be assign for the token that they will list plus maintenance. These fees is not disclosed public but included on NDA of Binance to the project itself.

There are times that Binance voluntarily list a token that has a huge demand which migh be total free kf charges but this is very rare scenario.
I could tell you how much, it’s about 280 bitcoins. I didn't sign the NDA and yet I know it because some idiot in a project I used to work for told me, when he signed the NDA, and that means he is in trouble if Binance ever comes at him, but it doesn't matter to me lol. In the end we are talking about a HUGE amount.

This was of course during the bull run of last year, not this year and I think it's something that we are not willing to pay if it was our own project but when you do, you see the benefits of it. If betfury thinks they are profiting from it then they shouldn't be questioned, it's their money and let them do whatever they want with it and if they are happy about it, then they are doing it right.

Mane deserves to win the award, which he did. Congratulations to the Bayern Munich star, he helped his country Senegal win the nations cup, and to qualify for the world cup, he was also important to his former club Liverpool in all they achieved last season, so he did enough to be the best player in Africa. This is the second time Mane is winning this award, and i do not think this is going to be his last, he is a great player, and he is going to achieve more success in Bayern and Senegal, so i am rooting for him to win the award more than twice, and join legendary players like Yaya Toure and Samuel Eto'o that have won African footballer of the year award more than twice.
He won it before as well, and Bayern basically got the "best African player currently" for 30 million, that's as cheap as it gets, and not like they got him from some second division team, they got him from Liverpool. I guarantee you that Liverpool doesn't need this money, they could literally give him for free, or just donate that 30 million and they would be fine. Sure money is money but they are making so much each year that it wouldn't be a problem for them at all.

This is why Bayern basically got him for free. They lost Lewandowski so it would be something very important to keep Mane of course, but Mane wouldn't be able to score 40 goals a year like Lewa did, this is still great, but not enough.
911  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 22, 2022, 09:42:39 PM
Barcelona's second target to go for seems to be Manchester City centre-back Aymeric Laporte. Their first target has been Kounde and they are waiting for him to decide where he wants to go between Barcelona and Chelsea. I think that Laporte is even a more difficult target to sign for Barcelona. Because he is one of the important players of Manchester City now. Above all else I wonder how much money Barcelona have now after making big signings.
This is getting a bit silly. I mean I get it, they got some money this year and that's understandable, but going for Laporte? I mean let's be honest here, Barcelona made some debt, and they ended up making even bigger risk, if they end up winning UCL for like 3 years in a row or something then yeah they would be awesome there is no doubt about that.

But, if they win nothing at all, then it's going to be horrible for them, it's going to cost them a ton of problem. In any case, they really needed a defender and that is why I believe that we shouldn't really be considering this as a good thing, but at the very least we are going to see a good Barcelona this year.
912  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: July 21, 2022, 10:30:31 PM
As soon as Barcelona received some money, they immediately began to spend it. All of these signings are good in terms of boosting competition in La Liga and giving Barcelona some chance in the Champions League, but what if those spending don't pay off? If we imagine that the next season for Barcelona will be unsuccessful (I assume exactly this), then their financial situation will worsen even more. I wonder what they will sell next time to repay debts.
This is why they are going to lose a ton of money in the future and will never recover as well. They have spent all the money they got so far and that is why they will keep being bad for the longest time since they never really learned their lesson. Think about it, we are talking about a situation where Barcelona ended up having a bit of a money problem right? They made wrong moves and spent a lot of money and that caused them to be in a big loss? Well what are they doing right now? They are literally going to end up with the same thing, they ended up spending soooo much in just one off-season when they should have saved a lot of money in such an important year.
913  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 21, 2022, 09:43:29 PM
luck also counts in this game
a lot of teams have dominated the game maybe, to lose in the end due to a stroke of bad luck maybe they lose (or a stroke of luck of the opponent)
in fact when the golden goal was inserted, it was a mess
luckily they removed it
Agree, few days ago I also said the same thing. Milan was just lucky to win Serie A last season. In terms of players, actually Milan don't have very good players, it's just we were surprised by Leao's performance. If Milan did not have Leao, it might also difficult for Milan to win the title. And the most important luck for Milan, when Inter failed to win, in other side AC Milan lost to its opponent.
If we are talking about some cup, then you could be "lucky" because we are talking about something that is rare but at the end of the day it's a league and not a cup. Which means that we shouldn't really be considering Milan to be "lucky" for winning the league, their players are as good as any other player and they should be proud of getting those players and getting that league title.

I mean think about it, they won a league, they played 30+ games and you can't just be lucky for that many games. Sure you could be lucky for a while but that's about it, you can't be lucky for dozens of games in a row. Hence, they were good, and they could still be good this year.

I just don’t know if the upgrade is already finished because some feature is not yet available on the casino.

Daily 5 FS for daily wagering voters is already credited guys!
There's no official announcement here or in the casino announcement page itself so I think the preparation for the v3.0 is still ongoing. They just finish the update that requires cutting off the 3rd party games access for the mean time. I hope they will introduced a giveaway for the celebration of the upgrade for all the user that is active playing in the casino.

I lose the daily by betting to Private User Winner as daily winner. I didn’t check carefully who's the top spot when I place my vote.  Cheesy
We shouldn't pressure them to do it all at once, because development takes time. That's actually not quite accurate, the development part of it doesn't take "that" much time, it is making sure everything perfectly is the hardest part.

The 80-20 rule works in development perfectly, like you could "nearly" finish it all, and then take even more time to actually finish it. I have been part of game developments where developers were playing the game for like another 6 months before they could release it, ready for us, but not the market type of thing. This is why just let blackjack.fun do their own thing and if they are doing fine then it is going to be released.

this weekend will be an interesting one for the cars.

The temperature will be very hot maybe over 40°C, so the engines will be stressed out.

Also, the use of tires will be different with this temperature.
I think so too, it will be a problem for some teams, last season Mercedes always had problems in very high temperatures because of their slim design. Mercedes has a very reliable engine this year, let's see if the high temperatures cause them problems. With Ferrari, I'm not sure if they will have problems in high temperatures, but the Ferrari engine has not been very reliable lately.

RedBull is difficult to assess in the high temperatures, but the high temperatures are a big burden for man and machine this weekend.
First of all, we are going to see ALL teams have a hard time, ferrari, red bull, mercedes, all of them would have a hard time. It will not be about which team does best, it is going to be about which team does the least worst. I do not know if that makes any sense, but basically everyone will get worse, but whichever gets worse less than the other ones will win this.

The question will not be pace or anything like that, it is going to be about reliability. If we see a new winner, it is going to be about how other cars had to stop, and that's the problem, if a car gets DNF that leaves other people having a bigger chance. I am waiting on a shocking Norris win eventually, and maybe this could be the one? I don't know.
916  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 20, 2022, 09:53:14 PM
In other news - Chelsea is close to signing Kounde. The fee is expected to be over 50 mil. euros - but he looks like a player that will fit well into their team and their playstyle and is a player I like for quite some time.
They have been after Kounde since last transfer window and glad to see they are getting him in much lower than what they were about to submit in last transfer window. They desperately need defenders as they have lost almost their whole defending line and they need strong players to defend this season. Azpilicueta could also leave as Barca are also interested in him.
That's the risk both teams take when the deal falls through last time. I mean if he played amazingly then he would have been a lot higher and would cause Chelsea to pay more, whereas if we are talking about just him playing badly, it allowed them to pay for a lot lesser. This could happen with a few players this year, for example it could have happened major time for Mbappe, we know that right?

This means, PSG got a 180 million from Real Madrid, and they rejected it. If Mbappe went with Real Madrid this year without contract, then it would be something quite harsh for PSG because they ended up losing him for free. Hence, it's always a risk you take.

How can a newbie invest in good altcoins? I know about BTC and ETH but I think I can make more money from altcoins instead of BTC and ETH, I did my research and I have a few projects in mind but I don't know if they are worthy..
To determine the object of investment, need to know the size of your budget that you are ready to allocate for the purchase of cryptocurrencies. If your budget is $100-200, then the best choice is to buy new coins. But in this case, you need to remember that such a purchase is associated with a high risk of losing your money.
I would say on contrary. If you have only 100-200 then it would be wiser to keep your money in the trusted stuff and just try to buy more and more, that way you could increase it a bit better without much trouble, why risk it when you have so little already? You can't afford to be a risky investor with that kind of money.

On the other hand, if we are talking about someone with tens of thousands of dollars, then it would make sense to invest into it like you wouldn't mind, like putting 200 bucks into some risky stuff because you have 20k+ more dollars and losing 200 wouldn't hurt. That makes a lot more sense doesn't it? People who can afford to lose, end up losing?

Maybe he doesn't really know how to speak English and all the English he's learned is from hip hop music with explicit lyrics.  Cheesy  He should be careful.  The 'n word' might slip out of his mouth while talking on the radio.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  That would def mean the end of his F1 career.  Lolol.

Anyway here's the schedule for this weekend's race.

2022 F1 French GP Schedule
Track:  Circuit Paul Ricard

July 22:  Practice 1 - 14:00 - 15:00
July 22:  Practice 2 - 17:00 - 18:00
July 23:  Practice 3 - 13:00 - 14:00
July 23:  Qualifying - 16:00 - 17:00
July 24:  Race - 15:00
These people come from a background of a good amount of money. You do not become an F1 driver by having parents who are poor, even Lewis Hamilton who cries like they were dirt poor, had a dad 10x richer than mine, not even remotely close.

Hence, I am sure that he got a good English lesson from teachers, even tutors that came to their house to teach him English. Sure as you grow up you listen to English songs, and I am not American or from any nation that speaks English, and yet I grew up with eminem and do not swear when I speak English. It means it's a bit of a personal decision and if he is warned, he should be careful, there is no legit excuse for it at all.

If there is no official news so far, then there is no need to make a little dream by saying Ronaldo is playing against his former club real madrid and rivals Barcelona, because that is just your own way of thinking that many people don't even think about, including me. I am more sure that Ronaldo will stay in the Premier League in the Manchester United squad for next season.
Yes I think so too, I believe more that he (Cristiano Ronaldo) will stay at Manchester United. Regarding rumors of his move to Atletico Madrid, it would be interesting if it actually happened. But again I say, that I doubt it.
Cristiano Ronaldo is now the center of attention because there is no certainty, only rumors are circulating and even then the truth is still being questioned.
These rumors may not be true. There is one thing, I think Cristiano Ronaldo will not be happy if he stays at Manchester United this season, so a different transfer would be better for his career and prestige. I would actually like to see him at Atlético Madrid. Lewandowski in Barcelona, Benzema in Real Madrid, Ronaldo in A. Madrid would be very excited, I was excited even thinking about it.
I know that Ronaldo wants to leave, but it doesn't make sense to just leave to a club he would still be unhappy. I mean think about it, if he moves from a club he would be unhappy, to a club that he will be unhappy, isn't it better to stay in the old one that he was unhappy with? At least he knows there and he could try to change that, but the new one would be disappointment because he moved there to get happy and failed. He is acting as if this would solve all his problems, but it won't.

Only thing it would serve would be him scoring some more goals at UCL, which obviously he cares a ton, but makes no sense why he cares about it this much, he should care about just enjoy playing at this age.

The biggest profit chance happens when it's going up, but not in a straight line. Think about it, it will probably go to 30k, and then drop to 28k and some people will sell and get out and scared and it will become 25k then it will go to 35k+ after that.

This is just an example but stuff like that will happen and these people will definitely end up thinking it will be a big problem when in fact it's just a small correction that they are overreacting. This means that we should be focusing a bit more towards what we could do with it and how we could stay relax while the price is going up, if we could do that, we could make a lot more money.
You can't know what’s going to happen. It’s clear to me that people are going to be shocked at results no matter what happens. There will be plenty of people expecting bitcoin to be dropping and if it goes up those people would be shocked. And if not, there are a lot of people who think it should go up (including me) and if it goes down then we all would be shocked. So, there isn't really a single guaranteed result there, we all will be shocked no matter what happens.

This is why it's smarter to make it up to the point that we are beyond those risks and shocks, and finally have something. At least we would know what happened, instead of be worried about it.
