I agree because after all at this time KDB is really very much needed and her presence brings a different pattern of attack for Manchester City that is very much felt because after all with her presence in the squad indirectly this adds to the breakout power of Manchester City because KDB is one of the very good initiators in this case so it is quite natural that she is one of the players who is eagerly awaited and her presence will make a loss.
Rodri is also a good player but Rodri's role is slightly different because in the end when we compare Rodri and KDB the tasks are also different. Rodri is more focused on defence but for KDB he is used as one of the initiators in the attack so that when these two players play then indirectly the Manchester City midfield will become stronger because their attack and defence are filled with players who do have above-average performance to date.
It was written all over Manchester City performance that the absence of Kevin affected them a lot, one of them is Haaland because by this time last season, he was everywhere and was having goals in easy form but when Kevin sustained injury, he has to fight for the ball himself in most of the match. When he don't look for the ball, he doesn't get notice in the match and it was even as a result of that struggle he got that injury.
Kevin is back but Haaland is not fit but I love him for the fact that he can do well on his own but they should always start him to warm him up instead of playing half minute of game.
Chemistry between these two are amazing, and they are surely having tag of most lethal combo in current soccer world which are doing good job and having enough success just because of the KDB injury Haaland was badly down and then as we have injury to Haaland things gone from bad to worse for the City so now KDB already started and peoples are watching how their performance is coming back on the track which is much needed at this time now as we will have Haaland back then surely Manchester City is going to have their performance back into business which is having trade-mark success for them in early matches before this decline now we have few matches which are surely important for them before Champions League as they will help for creating same depth and better results.

Distractions is one big challenge to remote workers, and one of the most relatable ones is that of our phones. It’s common that you see a notification on your phone and you want to check it out, just to notice 10 minutes later that you’re now watching Instagram reels or TikTok. I suggest that when it’s time to work, just because it’s remote doesn’t mean that you should not treat it like it’s office work. Put your phone in a silent mode and keep the tone of your workspace to be like it would be in an office. Don’t feel too relaxed just because you’re at home.
It isn't a challenge to the employer but a challenge to the workers. The one that is affected the most is the remote workers because there is no supervisors, manager, or boss that is around to monitor them. Yes, phones are common because of their portability. This is why I just switch them off and place them away from my reach.

I think there is nothing wrong in relaxing. and I bet, we can relax too when working non-remotely. But like they said, everything that is over are not good anymore. This is the only thing that we should watch out for when we are working remotely. For this, I don't lay down when I'm working online because it makes me sleepy.
3  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Hodling vs trading on: November 29, 2023, 10:46:25 AM
Bitcoin hoarding and trading differ in their approach to owning and using coins. Hodling is the holding of bitcoins in a wallet on a long-term basis without frequent transactions. Trading involves frequent buying and selling transactions based on short-term price changes. Hodling provides benefits in terms of ease of use, low transaction costs, long-term benefits and security. The choice between hodling and trading depends on the investor's preferences and strategy. Everything is purely individual, I think whoever has positive experience in a particular strategy stays there.
We should always go for the one we can do not trying to be holding and trading at the same time when we don't know how to trade.
The market is big enough with a lots of crypto projects we can buy and hold for as long as we want.
There is gain in holdings especially when we have good and volatile tokens in our wallet waiting for them to explore and keep increasing in price. The Crypto market is open to us and we can make huge profits depending on the risks we are taking and how much we are investing in the projects we have confidence in.
To be honest, not all cryptocurrencies are worth being held for the long term and most of them are extremely volatile and unpredictable and aren't suitable for this which is the reason why altcoins are generally used just for short or medium-term trading and not for long-term holding like Bitcoin. There are only a few altcoins that can be trusted to be held for a long time, ETH is one example of that which is the second largest and most successful cryptocurrency in the market.

It is also not necessary for a person to just do one of the two as one can always do both holding and trading since it isn't that difficult to learn the necessary trading practices and get into trading while you are already holding some of your assets like Bitcoin and ETH or a few more altcoins that you think have the potential to provide good returns in the long run.

Can you put a wagering requirement on these giveaways? I mean there are hundreds of alt accounts just diluting these challenges and they are no longer fun. I miss the VIP Battles we used to have a few years ago where different VIP teams would battle and the winning team would share the prizes!

I don't know if you even read the replies but if you do, please pass on the feedback and it comes from a hardcore stake fan who is losing interest by every passing day.

The monthly bonus was cut down terribly and now there are very few bonuses like there was none for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, etc. Oh and those Twitter giveaways are not something real players would take part in.

Jokic may have lost the game, but he played amazingly once again, that dude looks unreal, 38 points on a game the team didn't even scored 90 I think, I do not remember the end result but I think they were something like 86 if I remember correctly, that dude scored 38 of them! And not like inefficiently or something neither.

I feel like this is going great and I have to say that it is going amazing so far, I believe that they are going to end up being the champions again if he keeps playing like this. And the weirdest part is that he doesn't look like any of the MVP's or best players we have seen so far, I mean we are talking about players who all worked incredibly hard, woke up at earliest hours, trained for half the day, and won that title, this dude just dislikes the game all together and didn't even train during the summer, comes back, bored, plays, and wins. He is unique in that sense, how many players dislikes their job and could be the best player?
6  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: October 27, 2023, 08:03:41 PM
talking about poor performance in domestic competitions actually for now, I think Lens is still a little better than seeing what happened with Lyon because they are the club that is the worst in the decline in performance if we do a comparison of this season with last season.
I do not understand what causes Lyon to be this bad, but it's definitely not something they should be proud of, it looks like they are doing quite terribly all year long and I am not really expecting them to do any better. Of course they could get a little better on the rankings a bit, but I think it's not really that easy to handle.

I think it would be smarter if they ended up with something that should be a little bit fixing what's going wrong inside the club. Is it the ownership? Is it the management? The football director? The operations? The staff and the managers? Whatever is the thing that makes them this bad, they need to fix that first because they can't make the team better without figuring out what's wrong first.
Internal politics is having deep causes for this all and if club management fail to settle things in near future then most chances we will have them relegated which could be surely the worst ever for the club and fans as well after 9 rounds they are not able to win any match and already having deficit of 11 goals which is surely not ideal for the team because now if we are able to check their fixtures list mostly they are having tough matches and with this look like they could be stayed at the bottom until new year and with this next round could be more terrible for them because having results like this most chances they could be not able to secure their survival and in last game they were not able to win match against another team at home which was also in relegation zone, so things are surely needed quick settlement.

Napoli did well against Verona, they have themselves together fighting and definitely won by three goals Politano and Khivicha Kvaratskhelia made me smile, I got to predict a double chance on them behalf and they delivered like the Hebrew women. Lol.
I expect same results against Union Berlin struggle to pick up a win in the last five games they have played.
The difficulty that comes with managing the Champions League and also the league games are tough. Napoli with a win or draw is also safe to bet. They will get six points to maintain second place on the group stage if that win comes successfully.
Napoli is surely trying to regroup themselves for this season after having poor start and their last defeat against Real Madrid is also not good in front of their fans with this all in last few matches they are improving their performance with still having sixth spot and next game against AC Milan which mean things are not easy, but their quality is good just need to improve their performance and players coordination which make things easier, and they could be able to find their way for the better results.

Union Berlin is having two defeats and now most chances they could be not able to stop Napoli but still this could be not easy game with Napoli have to do their best if they want to have full three points in this game Kvaratskhelia is surely impressive and can make good work in Germany as well for the full three points for his team which will give them good confident.

I guess you missed out my response to the same user and towing with the favorable argument is not going to help in the discussion IMO but anyway
You brought up an excellent point about what gives BCCI any authority to impose its views on others, despite contributing most of the money to ICC's piggy bank, i completely agree with that.
But at the same time, why do other boards feel entitled to the same treatment when they are contributing virtually nothing to the treasury? Please answer this..  Lips sealed
I agree that India contribute the most to the ICC revenues, both directly and indirectly (through the diaspora). But at the same time, the BCCI is already receiving preferential treatment from the ICC. Every year two months of the cricketing calendar is blocked so that BCCI can schedule the IPL. None of the other boards are being given this luxury, and the ICC doesn't get anything in return. Also, the BCCI is given 3x funding from the ICC compared to other test nations (although they don't need it really). Even when it comes to hosting major tournaments, the BCCI is being given a preference.
ICC is a sports body and the point of having a sports body is that it will make equality among all the teams. But the ICC is not being able to do that. ICC is favoring the BCCI nowadays a lot.

And honestly, I do not mind ICC favoring the BCCI as long as it does not create any problems with the other cricket boards or teams. But the way ICC is going about things it feels like India is the only team that they care about. The others are just there to participate. What is going to happen if the venue of the Asia cup is moved away from Pakistan?
Already completed very long debate about this all which was useless because ICC is not going to change attitude and their way of work which is never been suitable for this game and many countries which are looking for funds as they are able to develop this game in their countries but sadly no positive development happening and ICC is also never been interested because they are looking for deep pockets which helps them for increasing their profit, and they are able to do things which they want to do by their own without doing any positive work.

Few countries which can do good, but sadly they have no funds are also ignored by ICC and few countries which are not having any native player, and they can't do anything for the development of this game are having good links here in this organization it's simple end of this all talk.

~~snip
lol looks like eccentric but that's the reality when we work at home and I can't deny that I also do things like this because when we work at home, for example, when we are in a meeting, of course we have to dress neatly and what we see is definitely the body parts above so that indeed other body parts that are not highlighted by the camera do not need to follow to make it look matching because we are at home and no one sees it Grin
Eccentric because? They wear uniforms even inside at their homes? Or Eccentric because they wear uniforms but it wasn't complete like on what we see in the pic. They don't have shoes and pants but why would they do that when they are only inside their houses anyway and the whole body can't be seen anymore when doing a live meeting plus it makes them more comfortable working.

Actually, I research something similar to this like how to work in full concentration at home and one of the advice there is like this like we need to wear a uniform. I think that is to give us a real vibe that we are truly working on a real office. It's a nice trick tho.

This kind of bonus is usually sent to players with low deposit activities to attract players to come back. When was your last deposit in Stake? If I can remember it correctly, I received similar email but it was for my Primedice account after more than a year with no deposits. Imo it should be working on any deposit, so you can receive the bonus with crypto deposit but ofc you can ask live support if you are not fully sure.
I assume that people who stop gambling could be considered into two parties. One of them is the person who started gambling somewhere else and if you offer them something to return then they will comeback and play here if they really want to, there is a chance you could convince these people to come back, maybe some of them won't, but some of them may come back.

But, there are also some people who do not have any money left and that is why they haven't been gambling here in a while, you can offer them the world and not get anything out of them considering they do not have any money at all, it is going to be something impossible for them in the end since they do not have money.

I do not see how anything about this is connected to bitcoin price, be it fake or not fake, this is the best time to buy bitcoin and hold for the next all-time-high.
China is world's biggest supplier which measures around 35% of world's manufacturing things. If anything affects China's exports, inflation may go worsted due to lesser supply. Inflation may have direct impact on bitcoin price.
12  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: August 19, 2022, 09:11:04 PM
Qatar seems to me by far the worst team that participates in terms of quality? The players are used to playing football in the heat, other players from other countries have that less. They also have the home crowd behind it and will be hugely motivated as this is probably the only World Cup they will ever be allowed to compete in. In the group with the Netherlands and Senegal and Ecuador, there is still a group where you have chances. The Netherlands seems to me to be the winner of the group, Senegal is the 2nd best but Qatar has the advantage that they play the opening match against Ecuador, they could still win if things go well.
With home advantage and fans are also going to behind them for this mega event as most chances this is only world cup for them or most chances as FIFA is going to increase number of teams than they are able to qualify again in future with these all advantages most chances they will be able to have one or three points against Ecuador because currently these both teams are level in quality and having chance for home team with Senegal is recently won AFC cup, and they have few quality players with this they are not going to allow them for having any chance against them and Netherlands is surely going to top this group with this all just Ecuador can allow them for this honor.

Liverpool's next match is away to Manchester United, this will be an important record for both clubs, Manchester United need a win because in the previous two matches they got much worse results, while Liverpool need full points or at least a draw.
What do you think about this?
Both teams need to win. Manchester United is a complete disaster after the first two matches and Liverpool is clearly having problems since Mane left. United losing against Liverpool will be a sign that Erik Ten Hag will have to be fired, even though firing a manager after 3 games at the beginning of the season seems like a big mistake and a very risky move. Ten Hag will have to realize that the Premier League is way more competitive than the Eredivisie and he will have to come up with new ideas and a more united squad.
On the other hand, Liverpool has some injured players, but I'm sure that the team will improve it's performance after they recover.
Manchester United is having disasters start of this season and staying at bottom of league table is surely the worst then fans were not expecting from this season and after having new coach, but things are still not in good shape, and they can stay here for some more weeks if they fail to bring some improvement in their performance, and now they are going to host Liverpool which is also having bad start of this new season.
 
Right now, these two teams are most talked in soccer community because both are the best clubs in world and having not perfect start of this new season is surely going to be trouble for them, Liverpool is facing some problems after Mane and Manchester United is surely still unable to solve their problems after retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Peter Schiff’s Bank Set To Be Liquidated; Will He Finally Turn To Bitcoin (BTC)? on: August 14, 2022, 09:53:01 AM
I have a different opinion. I think that he has bought some bitcoin long ago and hodling. Of course, not for the tech, not for the freedom, instead, purely as investment. I see no other reason he spends this much time keeping an eye on everything that happens with bitcoin (and some more).
Of course, he may not admit that. That's a different story.
Not really impossible(knowing that bitcoin really fits his ideology, only except that he's a huge boomer that thinks digital stuff doesn't have value), but I wouldn't bet on it. We can easily assume that him trashing on Bitcoin left and right is just a huge marketing ploy for his gold business(SchiffGold). And his marketing stunt sure worked(and is still working).
Apparently it didn't work since he is getting liquidated. I mean a gold company could only survive for so long, you can't make that much money on gold which moves tiny bit up and down, that difference is not something value of money at all.

Look at exchanges for example in the crypto world, they are making so much money and they are worth billions of dollars, why? Because people spend billions on them every single day and that money turns into tens of millions of dollars in trading fee for the exchanges. When we are comparing not even gold vs bitcoin directly, but just gold companies vs crypto companies, we could see crypto wins even in that situation.

It's always about whales who know what they are doing. They may win or lose, but they know when to get in and when not to get in. That is how they became whales in the first place, if they knew that it would be a wrong move then they wouldn't do something like that at all. This is why I have to say that it is better if we just leave them to be, and not even try to come close to them.

I know there are a lot of people who would wager the minimum and hope that they could end up wagering for a long time without running out of money, maybe even end up with a big win to keep it going for a long time. But if you are not a whale, do not risk your money like that ever.
That is a bit about them being a whale, but if they are truly a whale then they would get in in face of another whale, to show which one is bigger. You do not become someone enough to retire ten years ago and still keep going. Whales have more than enough money to retire, in our world if you have 1 million dollars then you can retire, no matter where you live because investments will make sure that you never run out even if you spent it.

Even with inflation you would be fine because rates go up, and investment returns go up with it. This shows the world that if you have more, then you are in it for the leaderboard game, not just here, but in life and that is why they wouldn't give up if they were true whales.
That is in investment and I get that, sure people would want more money and they would want to be at the top of the "rich" list. What do you think forbe's richest people list is? That is literally the leaderboard for richest people to beat each other, doesn't need to be for the top position because that's available only for few people to fight to get, but even going from 88th to 65th means you did something right and got richer, and that's not the same as gambling. Here, we know what we are doing will be making us lose money because gambling is always a house edged thing and will make you lose, so why try to whale your way into winning this case.

Apparently preev.com is down right now.
Do we really need preev.com in order to check the current Bitcoin price? You could just google "Bitcoin" and the Bitcoin price comes up as the first search result. There are hundreds of places where we could check the current BTC price, most of them are cryptocurrency exchange platforms. I used to check preev.com every day in the past few years, but nowadays I don't care that much about the Bitcoin price, mostly because every price drop is very annoying to me. Grin I really hope that preev.com comes back online. This website has sentimental value for me and probably for most Bitcoiners.
See? Even you, also used this website. "It has a sentimental value". That alone, answers your question on why preev is important to many users here. I too use that other method you provide but what I type is "btc usd".

It will then show me the btc price. I think this trick only works with btc but for other coins, you will still need to visit one of the results that you see in your screen before you see the value of that crypto you are looking for. This is why having something like preev can come in handy. We can just bookmark it in our browser and that can save us a lot of time and effort.

Another good alternative to preev can be this > https://coinval.co

I don't think the one above is a twitter contest but it was a streaming contest where the best streamers of this casino will get pick and can win dollars $$$. It is only posted on twitter apart from this thread. According to what it says here, we can comment on that tweet if who we think can deserve the win.

I think there will also be some kind of a poll but it is true that many kinds of promotions are coming from this casino, from twitter, to their main site and up to this forum. They are really serious on becoming the next best casino but wouldn't be? All of them wants it but not all have the ability to do it because of limited budget and some are afraid to take risks.

I was wondering if Francis Ngannou is no longer a brand ambassador for stake or what exactly happened? I mean it's common to lose sponsors but there should be a tiny announcement or something so we can be kept updated. They made massive announcements when they signed him so at least put a piece of news when you release the guy for whatever reason.

If I remember correctly there used to be Chito Vera on stake ambassador list as well and now I can't quite see that. It's good to see guys as big as Drake promoting stake but I somehow feel like they should keep us updated whenever a sponsor leaves just like they announce when joining.

As we enter June, I hope an early Monthly bonus is about to be dropped soon Smiley.
19  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Are new bitcoin users early or late to the party? on: April 30, 2022, 07:09:24 PM
In my opinion I will say, "No new bitcoin users  are not late or early for investment". Because the current market situation is in dip. I think this is the perfect time for investment . And in this Crypto world if you can  analysis and read market situation Then you can make money anytime and there will be no time table for your investment.
Whenever it dips, that's always the call for buying and is labeled as a good time to buy. We'll always be in that situation as we are long term holders here. It's the discouragement that people feel whenever they see the charts but they're not optimistic about the future of it.
If they compare that it could happen again in the next few years to come, they'll not tell that they're too late already. But the balls of them are moving back because it is uncertain and speculative.
It is not easy to do, it may be easy to say but for most newbies it is not easy to do what you are saying. I have been a newbie once upon a time and when I saw it going down, instead of buying more, I ended up selling because I was afraid. I knew that I should have bought more, not like I was a newbie who had no idea and just got scared away and run away, I was still around after I sold, that wasn't the problem.

The problem was the fact that we are talking about how we could change something and I failed to do that. I personally believe that we should be a bit more careful about our feelings when trading and most newbies are failing at that part, even if they know what they should do, they may still end up failing to do it.

^ Well done to big ETH player, I actually took the same handicap on a bet, unfortunately, with Real Madrid also on the ticket haha and at far less impressive wager size.

^^Yeah LFC_Bitcoin, I'd love for Real to be in the final purely for selfish reasons. I think it'd be equally hard to win against either them or City. On the plus side, we'd be the underdogs (again) against City, and that's really how we'd prefer to operate.

P.S. New promo active for those who love slots: Golden Week
https://sportsbet.io/promotions/2022-04-29-golden-week-2
I really do not believe that there is any underdogs at that level. If you reached finals of UCL then the two teams are equals and will always be equals in my mind. Even a few years ago when Spurs was in the finals and everyone believed it was impossible for them to get the cup, I still believed it was 50-50% because in a single game match I would not bet on anyone to be a guaranteed thing.

If Liverpool faces Real they both would have 50% chance to win, same goes City with Liverpool. In fact, I believe this so much so that I think Liverpool is not clearly in the finals anymore, it could be like 90% chance but it is never 100% guaranteed at all. Remember that 3-0 to 4-0 return Liverpool did to Barcelona a few years ago, everyone would have lost hope if it was that simple.
