961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto Casinos vs money laundering. on: September 17, 2022, 08:33:44 PM
Money launderers are wise enough not to choose casinos that require KYC. They prefer to keep their identities safe and private. Also, the source of fund doesn't really matter to some casino sites. They wouldn't mind checking on it one by one. Money launderers will also do everything so the authorities won't track their funds. They are even wiser now.
Although I know there's few trusted no KYC casino in this forum and they don't have any rules about money laundering, VPN usage etc, but I still hard to believe if they're not care anything about high illicit sources. As we know Tonardo.cash already got shutdown and they're a centralized mixer, there's a chance the no KYC casino might got shutdown too since they're helping fraudster. That's why I don't think they will take easy against fraudsters.
Is there truly a casino like the ones you describe? A no KYC can be normal, that's because we promote decentralization here when we talk about cryptos and blockchain but if they don't care about money launderers then I think that's not normal anymore and maybe they are one of those who launder money? Or they are being given by a share for them to allow the money launderers. While there are some who only cares about their business and they know that if they became too strict, their income can also get lessened.

I don't think authorities will shutdown a service easily but they will first check it if the service is following a protocol to avoid the money launders.

Elche so far this season have only been beaten 4-0 by Villarreal while at that time no red card was given by the referee, but Barcelona doesn't seem to have the desire to win that big because even Lewndowski has also been substituted and it looks like they are satisfied with a 3-0 win. In fact, if I consider and compare it with Villarreal's victory, at least at this moment Barcelona have a better chance of winning big than that like 4-0 to 5-0. Because after all, when they have the moment to win big it is a very good opportunity to be capital if later their points are the same in the hunt for the top spot in La Liga.
True, I thought at least 2 goals would come back in the second half, but it didn't happen. Barcelona seems to relax a little bit, I don't think that Elche is that strong to hold Barcelona in the second half. But it was Barcelona themselves who held back a little something they were perfectly capable of doing.
Elche having RED Card in early minutes of this game which mean Barcelona were relaxed as now they are going to face a bottom side team with handicap, so they have not allowed them to play and having any problem for their defense but on other side they also not give them any punishment which they deserve because after checking all statics everyone can check how things were going into this match and surely result like 6 - 0 or 7 - 0 can justify things, but they were no panic and try to play with easy hands.

Now Barcelona is at top for first time with good situation around them, even still they can go at second spot with Real Madrid is going to play a derby match tomorrow against Atlético Madrid which is surely a big test for visitors as well because from this match we can check how things going for Real Madrid in absence of Karim Benzema in big matches.
963  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Terra Classic recovered? on: September 17, 2022, 09:06:30 AM
I do not advise you to invest in the Luna Classic, there is a lot of bad news about it and about its founder, so it is a coin that is not worth the investment because the Terra team is the team that caused the collapse of their previous coin, I sold everything I had in this coin after it was pumped during the past week, I do not have more money to lose with it or to take risks, it is, in my opinion, a pump and dump coin, so invest in it what you can lose or stay away from it completely. There are a lot of good coins in the crypto market so you have plenty of choices. Frankly, I do not see a bright future for Luna Classic because of its reckless team, although there are those who believe that this coin can exceed its price of $100 in the future.
People who are investing into LUNA or LUNC already know all the things we could tell them, they are aware of the high risks involved in such an investment and they do it anyway. I am not saying that it is a smart move, it is definitely a foolish move and they shouldn't take such a huge risk for a reward that would never come anyway, but that is their mindset.

They believe that if they could buy it right now, and wait for it to go back up and reach to old prices, even half of what it used to be, that would be a huge profit for them and they think they could outsmart the market and make that kind of cash. Instead, they will end up losing, but they won't hear it, they won't care what we tell them.

Cadiz is the most potential candidate for relegation this season even though Laliga has only entered week 6. They have so far only collected 1 point and conceded 14 goals without scoring a single goal against the opponent. It makes me think that this season they will no longer be lucky to stay in Laliga.
Cadiz won the match today, they have 3 points now. I think Cadiz can get out of the relegation zone.
It is too early to say which team is the most candidate to finish in the relegation zone. The point gaps aren't so big, there is an opportunity for a significant change in La Liga position. We must wait the first half of the season ends at least, to claim which team is probably to be relegated.
Cadiz won their first game of this season and having three points, but they are still in relegation zone and going to stay here for some more time as after this International break they are going to host Villarreal which is not easy team to compete with them, and they can face defeat which will give them same place for some more weeks which is surely the worst case for them after miraculous having safety from relegation in last season.

They are the worst team in terms of defense in La Liga and having concede 14 goals in just five games with just done one goal in their six games which mean they need to do hard job if they want to stay in La Liga and if they are not going to improve quality then surely they are going to lose their place in La Liga at the end of this season.

One thing about predicting UCL is that you always missed it with big teams. Take a look at 2 season ago winners, Chelsea, they started off badly and then come February after changing coach they won it. Same thing happened to Real Madrid last season, they look a lost team in the group stages and even lost to new comers Sheriff, but they proceed to win it miraculously by beaten the best teams in Europe. Man City look sharp now but its just a start to the season and its also a world Cup season. Let's see till after the world Cup
Will history repeat itself, I  certainly don't think so. A lot has changed in Chelsea, Chelsea players are been regarded as low-class players that can't reach the round of 16. A surprising turnaround can happen but let it not be too late before they start to adhere to the new coach's football patterns.

Real Madrid will not be that lucky this season. The god of soccer won't favour and be on their side this time around
I agreed with your first half of this review but not with all as Chelsea is surely having some trouble specially after lost of their first Russian owner and now with the change of Coach which is also not good for them on this time with these changes most chances they are going to be had hard challenge to reach into last 16 teams their opening matches are giving all their performance indicators even they have few world-class players, but they are not able to preform as they needed to do this.

Real Madrid is doing good and having good run in their start of this season with La Liga and Champions League both results are giving how strong they are even god of soccer is not with them in this season for title, but I have feeling lady of luck always with them in affair with this Champions League, and they can do something special even having not good chance with this most chances this year Champions League title is going to be with the which is going to win this first time.
966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 16, 2022, 07:42:56 PM
I expect in the todays game between Mainz and Hertha Berlin a win from Mainz with 2 scored goals.
Normaly it should be going this way , but what is normal at the moment in the German League.
Tomorrow the Derby in Dortmund against Schalke will be a very interesting match , dont know how to bet there.
Schalke is a team that has not been able to fight Dortmund's strength, which is very strong and is often said to be a good player, meaning that the reputation of Dortmund's strength cannot be underestimated, I am sure in this match Dortmund will score a lot of goals and take advantage of situations like this to score a lot. points to increase their points in the standings.
Yes, it is true, the strength of Borussia Dortmund is still above Schalke. Even Borussia Dortmund is considered the highest contender for the Bundesliga title after Bayern Munich. I believe they will finish the fight from Schalke in this match. And I will take this opportunity to bet on their win. And hopefully they can give me an advantage. Grin
Of course Dortmund will be great, and I am not expecting them to do any worse against Schalke neither, after all Schalke was the team that ended up going to lower division and coming back, so it shouldn't really be a problem for them.

But, we have seen worse odds on football that ended up winning as well, so there is no guarantees in any game, it could be difficult to handle but it could be handled and I believe that we shouldn't really trust this game too much and put all our bankroll on it. Just wager a good amount that won't hurt you just as usually you should do, if you win, which you probably will, you will earn something, but if you lose it shouldn't hurt you.

Indian women team did not come slow this time.
Last week I watched a movie - about the Indian women captain and how despite of having limited funds she managed to pull off. They have a lot of potential and they will surly come back stronger.
This is the hard reality of Indian Women Cricket Team. I see New Zealand cricket board to be the best to give equal rights and support to men and women cricket team. In a country like India with such a big support for cricket, the Women cricket team didn't get its recognition. Now slowly they're getting revealed and someway things are getting better.
New Zealand is well-developed country with good structure and well-developed in all fields of life which is surely not comparable with India, so they can afford things like these here in India we have nothing good and positive even we are reading about WIPL for many years but no positive development happening just announcements and few routine procedures for paper works are going which is never been acceptable.

If you want to compete with New Zealand then surely you have to done hard work for half century then something possible, but you can imagine this is not going to happen in country like India where life is not easy for women compare to New Zealand and their facilities and other things which are they providing for their citizens.
968  Economy / Economics / Re: Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset : 6 key differences on: September 16, 2022, 04:11:03 PM
I have many friends who are always actively participating in self-development seminars for success and have passive income, but for almost 4 years I have seen no significant developments, on the other hand I also have friends who are not educationally good but whose wealth continues to increase and already have dozens of employees even though he's only in the fruit and vegetable business.
Because people who are too educated will end up trying to find that one thing which will make them rich, and they risk putting in money to make more money. What the difference probably is that your friends who do not have any business that makes them profit would be working and earning a decent salary, not rich, but decent enough, whereas your friends who own business' would be not educated as much and they wouldn't earn a good salary, so only way to make any good income would be starting a business and risking everything.

The grocery store around my street makes more money than most educated friend I know, all because they are more brave when it comes to investing.

Lord's is being considered by many as the home of cricket and that maybe the reason.

IMO, WTC finals should be hosted by one of the two participating nations. For example, if the final is being played between Australia and South Africa, how interested would be the English fans in that particular match? I would rather prefer the match being played at the SCG or Kingsmead. But then there is the issue with host nation preparing a pitch to suit their team. And this can happen if the final is being played between a SENA nation, and a team from the Indian subcontinent.
Surely play at Lord's is always amazing atmosphere for all teams, and now we have second final in 2023 as first was played at Southampton due to Corona restrictions here you concern is right mostly host nations take good advantage and prepare pitch for their own which helps them, but now I will be happy if we have final between Australia vs India because two top quality teams are fighting hard for their first title on English soil what a moment even things could be in Australian favor but still this is going to be good match with both are having good level in bowling and batting at neutral place and pitch is also favorable for both teams with most chances this is going to be good for Australia.

Tennis is one of the games I will never bet with my money, the chance of winning is too low and it is not about teamwork that you can be betting on the form of most members of the team. Many players are disappointing, especially the highly rated ones. If you check the table of the world's tennis players (both male and female), you would realize that the world ranking is changing so fast. So, anything can happen. To make the matter more surprising, it is the youngsters that are taking the lead now, the number in the world ranking (male) is 19 years old. This is last week's ranking.
What I know is that in tennis, there are modes in which the game is being played by 4 people. 2 on one side and 2 on the other but I think it's more easier to predict when the game is only played by 2 people because they will mostly rely on their own ability. If they are skillful enough then they can win, while if they work with a team or another player, some of the members may not really be doing well which can affect the overall performance of the team.

If you think your winning chance in tennis is low, that means your knowledge in regards to the players/game is also low but this can always be improved if you watch more tennis games.
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to choose an online casino? on: September 15, 2022, 12:35:41 PM
I've been playing online casino slot machines for a while now, and I'm looking for advice on which ones are the best. I like to play the ones with lots of different payouts and bonuses, but sometimes the games take a long time to load. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Almost all the casinos have slots so all you need to do is to choose the one which suits for your taste and style, personally I like the simple and clean graphics which doesn't take too much time to load even with poor internet connection so my suggestion is just go with casino which works best for you.

But keep in mind while picking a new casino to make your deposit especially with their recent reputation and customer feedback,you also can refer the multiple ANN threads across gambling section to find what people feel about the casino.
This is true and there are so many of them, I think that's the main problem of the op that he can't decide if which of them are the best and worth it for his money. It's great that he already said his preference. Now it won't be harder for us to recommend him a slot game which can perfectly suit his personality.

For others like for example like you, you prefer those simpler ones but for me I love to play slots which has a cool graphics on them and I don't care if they take time to load because I am not in a hurry anyway every time I play gambling. Another reason why he ask for a recommendation is that he may not be sure about the reputation of the casino that he will try but many of us here seem to be trusted and will properly guide the OP.

Recently, Diego Costa has not been performing well in terms of his performance on the field. During the last season, he played 26 matches and scored seven goals in that time period. Still, I do not think he has been completely washed of all his sins. In spite of this, I still think that he has the potential to play a good brand of football.

I believe he will be able to perform well at Wolves, but the problem with him is that he is going to have to compete against a lot of competition in the English Premier League. In the era of Haaland, there is no space for Diego Costa. In the glory days of Atletico Madrid, you know, Diego Costa was a key member of the team. My opinion is that with him being a part of the Wolves team, the quality of football within the team is going to improve as a result.
He has long been in the levels of "go to out of big 5 nations" type of player if you ask me, even was last year, and he definitely is this year as well. Going from teamless to Wolves is a big deal, dude found himself another chance to prove that he can still play, and he is only 33 years old, these days player can go a lot more, so if he plays well then he may find a few more years of contract here and there to make very good money, if not then he could look for the same type of money all from another team outside of the 5 big leagues, and he could get paid as much as 3-4 million at least if he plays in the leagues like Qatar or USA because they really pay a lot for this level of talent.
973  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bonus Abuse: Who is to Blame? on: September 13, 2022, 06:49:03 PM
In reality gambling companies don't get any benefit from people abusing the system and in fact pay large amounts for teams that seek to stamp it out. The sort of people who go to great lengths to take advantage and abuse the system of bonuses tend to stray into many grey areas, which then lead further on to pure criminal activity. These sort of cheaters will often go to extreme lengths if they perceive the ability to squeeze free money out of a company and we must remember that a single dollar has a very different value in different countries. If somebody is able to make say $300 dollars by jumping through numerous, but repeatable, hoops.. then they could potentially live an above average life in somewhere like Venezuela.
But at least, they do something to stop those bad guys which can help existing players to feel confident. Abusers will also think twice if they will do it again because they are now aware that the casino is now aware of them. Of course, cheaters can go on the rough way, especially if the casino is tight on their rules or security. That just shows that even the cheaters do also exert a great effort to earn an income.

There's really no easy money in this world. Still what they are doing is wrong. It would be better if they use that kind of ability on a legal way like helping the casinos to tighten up their security. They can make sure money this way plus there are no consequences.
974  Economy / Economics / Re: Rebuttal: Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset on: September 13, 2022, 04:03:00 PM
I know that there's a huge gap and belief between poor and rich mindsets. But what I've come to realize is that when you're in a better state and you're already rich, you tend to belittle those people that are in an unfortunate situation. They may also have the same thinking as you as a successful person but they can't just turn themselves into that one because of what they're facing. It's true that poor people are less privileged but it doesn't mean that they've got poor mindsets too.
If there's one factor which makes the gap far between the rich and the poor then that would be money and not mindset. Like you and the op said, many poor people doesn't have a poor mindset but they only lack of resources to get to the position that they want to. Also, not all rich belittle's the poor but there are rich people who are very humble as some of these rich do also came from a poor family before but they grind hard only to get on the place they have now. They know how hard it was to become a poor person, that is why they don't underestimate them but they try to help them instead and encourage the poor to not lose hope.

using stable coins is always a risk since these are not regulated and your funds can be seized/etc etc.
some months ago there was another collapse regarding MAKER / XDAI stablecoin (using ETH as collateral in this case... really similar to LUNA UST).
We have bitcoin just to avoid all these FIAT S*IT...why adopt another kind of FIAT? what will happens when central banks will launch their version of these tokens?
Roll Eyes These ROI are really high since you are taking a big risk on it....
That is what I have said about fiat currencies and stablecoins to begin with. I mean my local exchanges allows me to keep my money in fiat, literally just fiat and not a stablecurrency, which means that I could keep my money in either crypto or fiat and then why would I invest into stabecoins.

You know what stablecoins are great for? If you have a job and you get paid a certain amount then you could ask for BUSD if you are getting paid into your binance account, that is what its great for. Aside from that I do not think that its good for anything else. To even imagine of "investing" into stablecoins is funny to me, they are not worthy of your investment at all because they will lose value over time since its fiat and fiat loses value.

I don't think there's any tie up between Afghanistan and Pakistan team. When it comes to training. They might train in the same country, UAE but I don't think the Afghans train in Pakistan. It's a possibility though, they could train in Pakistan as well as in India as, the talented players get selected for the premier leagues of each country and they train with those respective teams.
In last two decades Pakistan have no good relationship with Afghanistan just because of this their cricket relationship is better with India instead of Pakistan, and they are going into IPL as well which is good platform for them as their nearly half dozen players are having good contracts and good money from them which is helping them in positive way.

Few months back they hired Umer Gul as bowling coach and now have Jonathan Trot an English man as their head coach but still they need the good number of matches for better results against big teams which is going to help them, but main problem is still there they can't play at home which is surely a concern and important hopefully we will have them as good team in near future in all formats.

Some analysts predict solana will soar in 2022, will it actually happen? considering the crypto inflation.


here is my Reference:  https://priceprediction.net/en/price-prediction/solana
I wouldn't wonder if that came into reality one of these days because Solana had never been a bad coin but its potential were only mislooked in the past resulting for it to bloom late but it's better to be late than later/never. For those who are late in the btc and eth party, there is still a Solana which you guys can invest on as there is more to come from this coin.

Inflation on the other hand is one of the major issues that the world is facing right now but cryptos such as Solana are out of that problem and in fact they are being used as an alternative now to counter the effects of the inflation. 2022 is a time for a bear so it's a good time to invest in different cryptos and not only for Solana.

What kind of question is this? Of course, they will be affected because this is how crypto works. A bear market is when the price of the cryptos are dumping pretty badly but this shouldn't be worrisome since the bear market is not a permanent condition because here in cryptos we have two phenomena's here that must be followed in a cycle. One is already given and that is the bear while the second one is the bull run.

In my own opinion crypto investment just like any other business is not a mare for weaken Hearted follow
Cause it's the time to humble the riches and en-riches the strong minder holders are winners in this space
What do you think will help to help boost the mindset of investors again after all the ordeal?
Not all investments are as risky as cryptos so it's okay to invest on them even if you are a weak person. A true/strong investor never gets discouraged but for those who did, then thinking about the positive things can surely help them get on track again.
979  Economy / Economics / Re: Have you felt the impact of inflation so far? on: September 11, 2022, 09:15:40 PM
Inflation is certainly felt immediately for those who have a small salary including me, many things that I leave for example the end of the month holidays, but every weekend I have to do many things like working extra to cover up increasing and uncontrolled inflation.
I couldn't do the same thing and that was a scary period. I mean think about living in super high inflation and then not earning too much more, earning about the same amount of money. Thankfully I arranged my life to spend less, but for a while it cost me a lot of money to do that, now I got a new PC as well which means even more debt, but I guess I can handle it and it shouldn't be a problem.

In the long run, we are talking about something that is terrible for people who do not have "excess" amount to shred. If you were already in poverty line, and inflation happened, that meant you were in starvation levels now and that was a horrible period.

i don't know why but in my opinion ICC feels like they have become so lazy right now, this should be the perfect opportunity for the ICC to show that they actually care about the game, i think this is a time when cricket is at its lowest point, and ICC can really show right now that they are actually working for the future of cricket by doing some simple stuff like increasing the funding of associate nations and just even trying to include cricket in the Olympics, i don't think any cricket board is planning to oppose these ideas now, but ICC is still not doing anything
I don't think they are lazy they are unprofessional and using their power in wrong way which is never been better for development of this game cricket they need to work like a strong sports authority but sadly right now they are doing all just for IPL and BCCI which is surely never been positive and developing for this game if they follow all rules and go through with level then surely they can achieve better results but sadly first Australia and England were in hold, and they used this ICC for their own sack and now India is big player, so they are doing same mistake which is surely hurting the cause of this game.

I believe they have right to take some advantage from their big shape and take some benefit but still they need to go fair and equally with all other members because this is need of time and better future of this game but sadly no one going to do any positive thing for this game which is surely going to hurt in near future.
