I disagree, Boston looks like a solid team, are they good enough to win the title? I am not sure, I feel like that may not happen, but I am very well aware that we are going to see Boston win over Cavs because they are a better team.

The thing about them is that they have some good players, sometimes some of them do not play that well but they do have good players, but more importantly because these players played well together for so long, they are aware how and who could play like what, and the coach is aware how he should be playing the team as well. This is why I do not think that there is anything to be shocked about anymore, it is what it is and we should be basically considering this as a way for Boston to win, they are more established.

Yes it is true that those content creators who do the promotion do not force the audience to get involved in the world of trading or get involved in the broker they are promoting, but I think that is the scenario of promotion where they do not force people to join and get involved but on the other hand they show something that looks very tempting like "trading can make you rich" and obviously with this idea alone most people might quickly make the decision to get involved in the world of trading promoted by the content creators.
Yeah, but shouldn't we also blame those who are getting easily influenced by what they are listening to or watching? Isn't it the responsibility of an individual to do their research before they get involved in anything, especially if it involves finances? I think it is, and someone should do their research regardless of what they read, watch, or listen from anyone in the world.
I read that these days people are selecting their political leaders in some democratic countries by getting influenced by social media posts. I mean in trading kind of high sensitive and money involved environment, you can easily deceive people by showing edited proof. So, I agree with you that we cannot blame people for getting influenced by another trader.

Bernardo Silvas contract doesn't end until 2026 which is going to be the hardest thing for Barcelona. I mean if his contract was ending like İlkay then I would understand the logic because it would work better for Barcelona to just pay the player and that's it. But when we are talking about someone with already a contract then it means Barcelona will have to pay a transfer fee as well.

I do not think that transfer fee would make sense in this case, Barcelona is already poor and in big debt, which means that spending money on transfer fee doesn't make sense for them anyway, they need to get free agents and youth players from la masia to make sure that they stay afloat. Not only that, but I agree that Silva won't be a cheap player, so it will be a lot of money as well.

The preference thing is still the right answer without a doubt. To me it is a hobby and I like it and I am going to keep doing it. For some people it's addiction, they gamble and lose money and they can't stop themselves and they keep gambling more and more.

However, for some people it's business, they end up gambling to make money, it could be straight from gambling but not at casino games instead at stuff like poker and such, or it could be that they stream it and make money that way, basically it's a job for them. So, this question changes answer depending on who you ask it, but I can respond just for myself and say that it is definitely a hobby for me, I am not getting anything out of this aside from just some fun.

I am pretty sure plenty of people tried this so far, and I am pretty sure that plenty of people failed this as well. I am not saying that we are going to end up with a good result, there is a big possibility that you are going to lose it all. Even if not, let's assume that you will win, would it make sense to put just a small amount?

I mean lets say that I make 10 thousand dollars a year, does that mean I should put a few thousand dollars and try to do it? Of course not, if you do that then you are going to lose a few months worth of salary, then how are you going to recover from that? If not and you put small, then even double doesn't make sense, lets say I put fifty bucks, then earn fifty more, what did that gain me? This just doesn't have any upsides.

Roma to win europa would be weird, I mean there is still Leverkusen there and they have the longest winning streak of all time, or maybe undefeated sorry, in any case that looks like it would be a hard to beat team and I am not really seeing how Roma could beat Leverkusen.

In other news, Roma could very well be fourth, that seems like an easier situation, they are so close and they could make it work, there are enough games for Roma to win and get to fourth place, that would be both a lot more money as well, and they would also be going to UCL in a more natural way as well, I would guess that seems like a better way. I hope that it doesn't really take that long and it doesn't really end up being something to worry about for them.

There is no best advice to invest at the moment because a breakout of bitcoin will cause many tokens to fall in price. So investing at this point is feeding the crocodile. Moreover many bad tokens will create hype at this time and it is a scam designed to attract investors. But i have seen some new good tokens successfully entering the market for quite some time now so you can buy those tokens if you want. Since there can be many different opinions here so you have to take the right decision.
Having that type of thinking will make someone money. I know that people are not certain about how much money they could make from crypto, but it is clear that we are going to end up with something decent, and should focus on that as much as we possibly could. I know that it is going to take a while to get used to it, but that's just how it is.

I personally believe that we should be focusing on what to do and how to do it, and if we think about the big ones then we are going to do a lot better. Many people forget that bitcoin is the one and you should be considering that as the best investment, doesn't mean you shouldn't invest into altcoins, you should never ignore bitcoin though, that's the most important part of it all.

I mean Warriors won with a lot of help from the bench as well, there are plenty of players I have never heard of that played very well games that allowed them to have a good win against Clippers. I have never heard of "podziemski" for example and dude scored 13 points, or Kuminga had a great game and got 17 points, Dario Saric is still in the league, I thought he retired and dude had 13 points too.

So all in all, Warriors should be quite thankful to their bench team to be this good in order to win this game, and I think it's quite clear that they are going to end up with a much better result if they can keep getting this type of production from the bench all season long. Their starting five doesn't look all that championship level to me, it looks like they are fine but not at Denver levels or Celtic levels anymore, they look like a barely playoff team to me, like first round exit level team, and very best case second round exit, that's it, I do not see conference finals for them this season.

One of the most dominant cars that was ever built is now retired. I mean a total of 22 races, and 21 of those races were won by Red Bull, 19 of them were won by Max himself, with 2 coming from Perez at Azerbeijan and Jeddah. That is the most dominant car I can think of, and that is saying something considering Mercedes had a car that won like 7 years in a row or something if I am not mistaken. It is by far the biggest points per race for a driver as well, it's unreal how much Max and Red Bull achieved this season.

The question has to be asked, will Max and Red Bull will be this dominant again next year? Obviously they will not have enough time to work on the car like other teams who did worse, but at the same time they didn't last year too and still won this much.

The economic downturn is a biased situation that brings about downfalls and limitations to human services and exchanges that also could bridge about appreciatable lifelines where as the poor can't afford to qualify demands even if it is not one of the expensive demands.
No one was meant to be denied good health, good educations, good foods, living and having smiles on the face but the reigns of economy downturn has ruined it all.
The resultants of economy downturn is a service that has offered the masses disruptions towards their endivoirs or engagements and also brings about relationship bridges and also gets the poor irresponsible reputations that they are unable to take response to their responsibilities.
Unfortunately the world changes constantly, and the news and the online world are getting to a level where they are brainwashing people to be against each other, instead of being against the reason. There are a lot more billionaires now, and they keep talking about how that is due to inflation, and yet the minimum wage worker is not making all that much more, and in cases they do, they still do not live better, and yet the rich does.

The issue is that back in the day, "minimum wage" meant that you should be able to live with that, you could have a house (rent or bought doesn't matter) and be able to eat food that is not only the cheapest ever you can find, you can send your kids to school, basically live a decent life.

This idea is so crazy to people right now, someone with minimum wage, be able to afford healthcare, education, food, house, maybe even a cheap car, you should all get that, there shouldn't be a single people.

And yet, in the world we live, people die because they couldn't afford a medicine, does that even make sense to you? Like pharma company wanted profit, so it didn't sell affordable, so people died, in order to make that pharma company more profit, is that even logical? That's insane, and yet the reality.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2023/24 Season on: November 24, 2023, 09:26:23 PM
The Fenerbahce team is already under a bit of pressure after dropping points in the last two matches. And now Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray have equal points in the points table. This is why the upcoming matches are very important for Fenerbahçe. They must win at any cost.
It is not certain how the players will perform after a long break. But I am quite optimistic about its performance at Fenerbahçe. Because their opponents in the next two matches are relatively weak. Faith will play at home against Karagumruk and Sivasspor in Fenerbahçe. Fenerbahçe is the most likely to win both of these matches. I think Fenerbahçe will keep the top spot on the table.
The relief for them should be that they already lost points on 2 games in a row, which means that they should be able to do a lot better this game around, a team as good as them that went like 15+ wins in a row should be able to get back on the horse again, I mean it was like 18-19 games in a row win, would three loss in a row follow that up? I do not think so, they should be winning this one easily, it is going to be hard to make a comeback and after the break it is going to be some issues of chemistry and remember each other and all that, but Ibet that they are going to be fine.

Same goes for Galatasaray as well, they did amazingly so far, but then lost to a team they did not expected to lose, they should be able to get this win anyway. I feel like two wins this week should be the expected result, I do not think that it would be any different than that. That's my opinion at least, I could be wrong and one of them could lose points in these games as well.
13  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: October 29, 2023, 08:14:00 PM
Unfortunately luck was on Madrid's side, yesterday's result should have been a draw, but Bellingham gave a surprise in the last minute, causing Barcelona to lose points and suffer defeat. I think Barcelona played as well as possible with the existing players, including young players, and it is possible that if they played with their full players, maybe they would yesterday's El Clasico match was much different, but still all Barcelona fans must acknowledge Madrid's superiority and their victory.

I also think that Xavi should be able to manage his players in the future so that too many key players don't get injured which is detrimental to Barcelona of course, at least playing second tier players to face lower level clubs so that they don't play too seriously which ultimately results in injuries to key players which would be very detrimental. Xavi must manage every performance of his players and I am sure he still has time to catch up to win the La Liga title this season.
I do agree that Xavi has done very well so far at the head of Barcelona, and I believe that there is a possibility he could manage this team for another 10+ years if both parties agree. We do not see that type of thing usually, we see managers leave after some years, we do not get managers with 10+ years at the same club, not at the top of big clubs at least.

If Xavi could stay, he could definitely gradually make the team better and better and could even help with getting rid of the debt as well by building the roster from the youth setup more and more. I remember clearly during his playing time with Iniesta and Messi period, there was a game where they played with 11 la masia players, why not try to have that again?
14  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: October 23, 2023, 08:20:00 PM
Mohammed Salah has a very important role at Liverpool, if he doesn't score goals it is very possible for him to make assists which are just as important for a team's victory, he has scored 7 goals and 4 assists in 9 EPL matches, which is quite a good achievement for a winger, and every season he always proves himself as a player who makes a big contribution to the team.
In the European league, if they have confirmed their place in the knockout phase, it is very possible for Klopp to rotate players or it will be done in other competitions but not in the European league because this is one of the important competitions for them and becoming champions could be is their target.
In the third match against Toulouse, Klopp will definitely field a core of players, even though on paper Liverpool are superior, they must not be careless which could result in them getting bad results. I'm pretty sure they will win and probably will win all the matches in the group phase considering this is not a difficult group for Liverpool
I would say that he is the most important player in that team at this moment. They have changed their squad a lot since the early Klopp days, they had a lot more different squad, and starting from Mane, they kept on changing the team all the time. All those Mane, Salah, Firmino type of period is behind them but Salah was the only one that stayed and he is still providing a lot for the club.

I feel like they need to figure out a way to take some load off his shoulders and find some other players that would be at least as good, but they haven't done that yet so he is still getting that team some success. Thanks to him being this good, they are closer to top and that's an important thing, I believe that he is doing wonders so far and should he keep going then there is a possibility that Liverpool could fight for the title as well. I am not saying they will win, but there is a possibility that they could win it and that is all thanks to his amazing performance.

On paper, Al Nassr can secure full points when facing Damac FC, with the depth of the squad it has which is very suitable if Al Nassr is superior. Besides Cristiano Ronaldo who is also in on fire form, the Portugal captain scored 4 goals in the Euro 2024 qualifiers, this performance really helped Al Nassr to win over Damac. This opportunity is quite big, considering that Al Nassr is acting as the host in this match, winning 3 points will really help them to close the gap with Al Hilal at the top of the standings.

In the previous match, Al Nassr had to be willing to share points with Abha Club, so that Al Nassr position was stuck in third place in the standings. I think Al Nassr will win easily with lots of goals to be scored, I think Damac can only target a draw at Al Nassr home ground, but that is very difficult to happen.
If Al Nassr won that game, they would have gotten 2 more points, which would be 21 points total for them, still the third place behind 23 points leader Al Hilal and 22 point second position Al Taewoon. That should be noted that it makes it a little harder now, but they still need to win a week when the other top two teams lose games, that would tie them for second and makes one point difference with the leader. It is not easy for the top teams to lose points, so the yare going to end up with a trouble.

I hope that they get lucky enough and end in a situation that would benefit them. It should be noted that Ronaldo keeps on scoring like crazy, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see them win just because Ronaldo is playing well, that is a good thing but that is not enough, there are 10 other players in that club and they all need to play better if they want to win the title.
16  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: September 25, 2023, 08:18:30 PM
We cannot separate Alonso's role in bringing Leverkusen to its current form. Plus, the selection of newcomers they brought to BayArena makes this team even more solid than before Every Leverkusen player has their own task and that is what makes the team look solid in its five matches in the Bundesliga. in yesterday's match, they destroyed the challenging team with a score of 4-0.Victor Okoh Boniface, once again showed his sharpness. Unfortunately, this victory was unable to restore their position to the top of the standings. even though, both teams have the same points.
Next week, Leverkusen will visit Mainz headquarters.  we will see how consistent Xabi Alonson's squad is.

On the other hand, Bayern will not let Leverkusen shift the ranking they currently occupy. In the next match in the Bundesliga, Bayern will play an away match at Leipzig headquarters. Remembering that in the previous meeting, Thomas Tuchel's squad had to prove that they were a tougher team than before. I hope the competition in this competition continues until the end of this season. Likewise with Dortmund, hopefully they will gradually find their best game and return to the right track.
Not only we can't separate it, but I could give the whole credit to him as well. I mean without him they weren't this good and yes the players are the ones who go out there and play every game so that means they are going to end up with most of the credit to a casual fan but if you know football, you could have put someone else there and they wouldn't be as successful as Xabi Alonso, that dude made sure that they are doing fine.

I believe that we are going to end up with a good result one way or another as long as he keeps managing that team. Obviously it is not going to be that clear, and yes it is not going to be all that easy to handle it all, but I also think that we are looking at something that is great start for a manager career.
17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: How did Ripple (XRP) become so popular and blow up in price? on: September 25, 2023, 11:49:39 AM
It was indeed popular because of its long issue against the SEC but despite the situation that the team had faced, they still managed to become strong and retain their users and investors. I don't know what makes it special but still, many people keep holding and waiting for its bullish prices. I'm not sure but for me, I'd never see XRP as a profitable investment because I've tried accumulating some, but unfortunately, never see huge changes on my wallet as it was almost the same at the time I bought it. So I decided to sell them and buy other coins rather than holding XRP.
Even before the SEC issue came, XRP is already popular. The team needs to be strong because they know that a lot of people are rooting about it. XRP is special for having a cheap fee when transacting and its speed were also fast. Another thing would be is it was supported by the banks.

This is why me and others think that XRP can still rise more. Also if you are early to invest on it, you are already reaping its benefits. You only need to have a patience now that we are on a long-term bear but it's sad to hear that you already switch out on other coins. Well it was still your money not ours so feel free to do what you want with it. Good luck.
Banks are using the company, which is not the same as using XRP, those are different things and not the same thing. That could be a different situation but as long as we keep giving it the same logic then it will not be an issue at all. I agree that we are going to end up with something that would be profitable for people to use if they are lucky but we are also talking about heavy centralization as well, which is  a bit of an issue as well.

I think we should reach to a point where it will not be making this much trouble to begin with. Have you see bitcoin having a legal battle? It can't, because there is nobody that can be sued for it, whereas XRP has the Ripple company and the owners that could be sued, that alone is risky enough.
18  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WITH LESS MONEY? on: September 25, 2023, 11:14:30 AM
Yes, it is still possible to make a lot of money from a small capital but it is not easy to do so. Not only is it necessary to work hard, but sometimes you also have to accept greater risks if you want to use a small amount of capital but want to gain large profits. For example, in this market, investing in shitcoin and memes is also one of the ways to turn small capital into huge amounts of money. But like I said, to be able to do that we need to take bigger risks than others.
That's right, that's one way to make smaller capitals into greater profits but the risk is totally visible and higher than the traditional ones. Many have done that but it's also like an investing based on your luck since you'll get to choose the meme coins you're about to invest.
Yes, if I am going to hold something that will get me 10% or less in a full year then I would not be looking for bitcoin neither but I will be getting poorer that way and I would never get richer. It would be a lot better if you could end up with something that is better, and for that to happen you need bitcoin.

It is not really a shocking return, it is not like you get 500% a year every year, maybe one year that may happen if you are lucky on the bull season but that is like once every four years if you are lucky. This is why I believe that it is both better than holding some stock or gold, and it is still at the very realistic level as well which would make you a lot of profit without an issue as well at the same time.
19  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 11, 2023, 06:08:03 PM
Last season at the beginning of France league Lens was able to gets 9 matches unbeatable and they are very strong at their home ground because until end of season Lens has unbeatable status at home even these records is more good than PSG at that time but with their current situations i am so doubt Lens will be able reach to his achievement just like last season again because until week 4 they are one of strong team who unable to gets the winning results and it was never cross in my mind before because i have to see their position currently at 17th place

Lens have done poor transfer this season because they have already sell their some of key players and they were attempts to buy new players to covered the position from those who leave this team but apparently it was bad decision because Lens new players performance currently were far from the expectation and they have hard task to bounce back and it wouldn't be easy especially Lens have to divided their focus by playing at champion league
I agree that they were decent last season, but Lens not being good this season makes sense as it was mentioned why.

The ligue 1 has one issue, all teams are having hard time chasing PSG and they are spending as much as they could to make that happen which results with a terrible deal for them, I think it should be important to make it happen as well as they hope they could, which could result with them not doing any worse, and that should lead with something that would make some sense if teams sell their players to make money, so that they could spend less and get younger and hopefully better future players. That should result with a good return for real and that could make it work like a charm for these teams.

If United loses Sancho as well, then they are going to be pretty upset with the results. They are doing terrible at the moment and I am not even talking about just the results of the game, the owners are really ruining everything about that club and the culture has to change like crazy.

Ever since SAF retired (which he shouldn't have, he is still at almost every game) they haven't been doing good at all, even Ronaldo said that things were exactly same as he left and didn't improved a bit. Owners needs to change asap, they need to sell the club one way or another, hell if they sold the club last summer, it would have worth more than right now, so they made a loss for the time being by not selling and that's terrible.
