In round 24, we have PSG vs Lille with mostly other teams are having weaker opponents, but this could be match of this round as PSG already lost their last game against Monaco and now having 0 - 0 at half-time against Bayern Munich at home.
Even though the score was 0-0 at half-time, Bayern Munich led PSG by 1 goal in the 53rd minute of the game. And this goal comes from K.Coman excellent super short. However, PSG have not been as aggressive so far. In today's match against Bayern Munich, despite the presence of Messi, Neymar Mbappe, they are unable to take any goal shots. 87 minutes of the game have passed so far, PSG has not scored a goal. I assume today's game is Bayern Munich winning.
Indeed, Bayern Munich is too strong, and PSG is weak in the match when Mbappe has not entered the field. After Mbappe came on, it was a really good game, I think the second leg at Bayern Munich forced coach Galtie to bring Mbappe on from the start.
I think Mbappe was injured and he didn't had a 90 minutes in him, which is why he couldn't play, but he is just too much of a strong player to consider not to play. He should be playing on the second game and he should be in for 90 minutes if he can, I don't know how his injury will be but do not play him in the league game if he is not fully healthy and let him rest a bit.

I think it is going to be a big trouble for them if they can't find the 2 goal difference in the second game, the fact that they won the league all this time and still fired their coach is the proof that league doesn't matter, UCL is the only thing that matters to them at this point.

The match is getting closer to the final but Bayern Munich still has a very easy score distance for other teams to take over, it can be seen that Union Berlin has one point difference with Bayern Munich so this makes Union Berlin have the potential to take first place and shift Bayern Munich, If Bayern Munich want to get a win in the Bundesliga this season, then they must try to always get a win in every last match.
The Bundesliga is back in full swing. Union Berlin is only 1 point behind Bayern Munich. And they are set to continue fighting for the title till the end of the season. In every match, we see good performances from Union Berlin players. And if they are able to maintain such a performance, Union Berlin will have a chance to regain the top spot in the table.
Personally, I want any team other than Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga. I'm tired of watching Bayern Munich as champions of the Bundesliga every season. I want to see a new champion.
I understand that they look good enough to win, but I honestly do not think that Union Berlin will have enough gas to go to finish line. There are 14 more games left, and nobody in the whole league will win 14 in a row from here, all the teams will have at least one loss or draw, that is for sure. Which begs the question, will Union Berlin lose more points than Bayern and I think they will, they are not good enough.

I understand not many people will have any sort of understanding of what's going to happen, but if they can end up with a good run then they may have a chance and that is all they need right now, a good run and they may actually have that if they are lucky.
1363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: February 13, 2023, 09:34:59 PM
If we look at the performance of Real Madrid and Barcelona lately. I think 11 points is a gap that is quite difficult for Real Madrid to catch. Even though Barcelona's attack line was not very productive but their performance is fairly consistent, where they only got one loss and two draws, while the rest is a victory for them. If Barcelona remains consistent and makes as few mistakes as possible, I think this season will belong to them.
I think Real would probably win that game, but aside from that even 8 points is too much to cover. This is of course only true as long as Barcelona keeps playing the way they are playing and it's going to be difficult for them to suddenly be worse and bad, but they could lose a few players to injury and suddenly they could be bad.

Long story short, if this goes like it is, then Barcelona is the winner for sure, but Real still has a chance with UCL so they could shift focus there, be second in the league and that's still a pretty good year. When you are a top team like that, it's really difficult to keep fans happy, they won UCL and league last year, and they are already considered "bad" this year even though they are in UCL and second in the league, they can't win everything at all times, eventually they will lose.

What a great site and great idea to come up with this statistics.
Crash game is one of my favorite as well, though I didn't see the site I'm playing with here but I'm expecting for more updates with this site. Its good to have this thread to see who performs the better and make this a basis to try another site when it comes to crash game. Wish to see Duelbits on this site though there's already a summary of lucky wins but its still good to see the comparison between the other site for a crash game.
See who performs better? I think this was still subjective as crash game is only a game of chance or luck. Roobet might be the leading right now to give the best or the highest multiplier but I doubt that you can also get the same results once you tried it, and you will only get shocked to see that the leading on the list is now another new site and not roobet anymore.

To tell who is really better will range on different factors, such as their design or theme of the crash game and as well as the bonuses offered by that site but this was still a unique invention done by the OP here. This is helpful for those who visit different sites simultaneously and see how their games going there but id like to see more games soon if possible.
1365  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Why are there sometimes big difference between spot trading and futures? on: February 13, 2023, 07:23:11 PM
n my experience with Binance, their spot and future prices are almost always the same. The difference is so negligible to be considered varied. It might be an internet/technical problem. But if the issue persists, contact their support representative because I don't experience such in my account.
Experienced or not, issues can still occur for the both of them but inexperienced traders only has a lot of questions in mind. Maybe you are right that the price difference is related to internet issues. It could be that his connection is only slow and the price dont update quickly. Or maybe it was just normal scenario since both of them are not the same types, I mean one is spot trading and the other is futures trading.

What you want to do is purely legal but to what gain? My dear, this will not favour you, just stick to the price of the different exchanges as you see them. It will not be worth it, they are almost the same, it's you that believes they are not since you are seeing different prices, but are negligible. It's when you do the conversion and withdrawal that you will know you lose.
I think this tactic is called arbitrage. It can be profitable if done right but is risky if done wrong due to how volatile this market are. Arbitrage is legal in crypto trading but only illegal on sports betting. All of us aren't the same. You think it's not worth it for you but who knows, it might work for him? Sometimes it also has to do with our luck and not just with the knowledge alone.
1366  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The best altcoin to look out for on: February 13, 2023, 06:31:22 PM
Altcoins that have decent support from the community and have continues development always have great potential to bounce up especially once the market start to experienced bull sentiment, it's best to buy and hold project that have that capability though the amount of benefits is not the same with new project that have an explosive growth but the risk is too much to handle.

Better to think about the risk before doing any decision in terms of investing your hard earned money.
And yet many people still under-estimate them especially noobs because they haven't saw these alts on the trending page of CMC or coingecko. They likely opt for the alts which they think will give them easy money but we all know that it was an easy lose too once they only do a wrong move, i.e if they hold it a little longer, its because these alts are only good for short term and has no long term potential.

These people clearly didn't think about the risk but they are only looking forward for the reward. That was a wrong way of investing and the rewards that we get will still be useless because in the end there are times that we won't be lucky again.
1367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 12, 2023, 08:33:22 PM
If you can control gambling by your own strategy then it is good for you and you will get rid of deep gambling addiction. And if you can get rid of the deep addiction of gambling then you will be able to use it only as a place of entertainment and you will be able to use it as a golden place to relieve your tiredness and pain from time to time. I myself gamble but it is very limited and I keep a fixed budget for each week to enjoy enough entertainment but not to become deeply addicted.
But not all people are the same as us and can control our emotions; there are gamblers who have difficulty controlling their emotions, which results in addictions. That is why others tend to seek help or take some medicines just to make themselves calm. It is like us, we don't have anxiety, and others do, which they always advise them not to think of, but it is difficult. That is why there are experts on it to help them, but the problem is that a lot of addicted people won't do it because they don't recognize themselves as addicted to it.
Addiction and psychological help for it is something very important, because it gives people a chance to actually work on things that they can fix, and there is a tangible problem there. Psychological help without much concrete problem is hard to diagnose and fix, you can go to therapy for years and not really fix anything, but when you have something shining as much as gambling addiction, there are ways to stop that or at least road you can take, it is up to if you will take it or not.

I believe that we shouldn't be really shocked about the amount of people who fail to stop, or fail to get better but at least we know there is a path to be taken to get better.

For the past 2 months, I have got some payment through Binance pay. Not too many people were aware of crypto and those who knew, they were very excited.
I am a wholesaler, so I sell in bulk, and they were very happy to pay me with Crypto. I have 4 customers, who pay me through Binance.
I am confident that those 4 customers will become 40 in near future as awareness about cryptocurrencies is spreading everywhere and people are willing to use it for their day to day life's need. I am not completely not familiar with binance-pay but heard about it in this forum. My suggestion to you is, keep rocking and also look to get paid in your own personal addys which might be hand for you as depending on a third party services might become a headache when you get good volume of transactions in near future.

Also, try to hold 10% to 20% of cryptos that you will be receiving and the crypto you save should be only bitcoins; if this is feasible for you then I am sure that you can easily get 10% returns for the money you decide to hold for next 2 to 3 years. But, keep holding for 10 to 25 years also for life changing returns.

Real Madrid should not lose this match. After all, they are playing against the team which is in the last position of the table. This match should not pose Real Madrid any threat. But the only problem is Elche did win the last match so they are on a winning streak. And on the other hand, Real Madrid lost the last match.

I am not saying that this is going to be something that will change the outcome of the next match for Real Madrid. But certainly, Real Madrid will have to keep in mind that they cannot underestimate their opponent. But I think this is going to be an easy three points for Real Madrid.
I would say it doesn't really matter how many games in a row Elce wins, if they are at the bottom of the table that means something and not because they were good but played bad, in order to be the last team in the league, you should be very bad to begin with and not many teams could be decent if they are there after this many weeks.

On the other hand, Real may have lost, but they are still the second team in the league, which means that they are still very good. This game should be easy for them no matter what. I also believe that Barcelona will win against Villareal as well, betting them together could give a better odd as well, a higher return for your bet.
1370  Economy / Economics / Re: Saving is Wasting? on: February 11, 2023, 11:35:31 AM
Saving is considered wasted only if it is idle money that you do not need to use for urgent expenses or work and you put it in the bank. But in OP's case, I don't think it's a waste, as a student, he will need a lot of money to cover his studies, so without any savings his studies will stop suddenly. Students should focus on their studies and only think about making money in their spare time with part-time jobs or can look for free sources of income through cryptocurrencies. Do not rush to invest because there is no guarantee that it will bring profit and affect his studies if the investment is at risk.
I agree that it is quite important to focus on the studies a lot but if the studies can't go any further, it would be wiser to focus on the money part at times as well. I gave one year break to my school and worked full time and saved my money, thankfully I lived with my parents so I didn't had much costs anyway, and that is why I ended up saving enough to finish school and focused on my studies instead of having a part time job.

Sometimes it is better to find a way to get rid of the money trouble first, and then study, it gives students a chance to actually learn, and not be tired at school all the time, my first year was like that and I didn't get anything from classes.
1371  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC bulls back? on: February 10, 2023, 06:03:44 PM
That this is possibly a bull trap or a true recovery is 50:50. It could be either. Although that quick rise from $16,000 to more than $20,000 was notable, $20,000 is not really a level we could really call recovery. $20,000 doesn't signal that the bulls are coming. For all we know, we could be staying on this level for weeks and months to come. If that happens, I don't call it bullish. But if this rise in price would eventually reach beyond $30,000, then that's bullish.
Not really a bull trap, we didn't move to just 20k, we moved to as high as 24k, which is nearly a 50% increase and people should realize that a 50% increase can't be a bull trap, that is a ton of profit right there already. The reality is that it was 16k, and 50% of that is 8k, add 8k to 16k and you get 24k, so it definitely reached from bottom to top a 50% increase.

It may not be there right now, and it is a little lower, but that doesn't change the fact that some people tok their profits and left, which caused this new drop, but it wasn't a bull trap neither. I really like the situation we are in and sensing that another big increase will come soon.
1372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 10, 2023, 04:48:32 PM
So far, lazio and atalanta are almost equal with only 1 point different in the serie a standing at this moment. Lazio's coach has been also commenting for its club to stop waste many opportunities to take the full points. I think that we can take the last match between lazio and atalanta which happened in october last year if lazio was able to beat atalanta away with 2-0 as final score. I expect the same thing gonna happen with lazio to beat atalanta again.
Lazio has a fourth position now but they have only one point more than two clubs behind, Atalanta and AC Milan. Any bad match can cause a ranking drop on the table for Lazio. They also don't like to stand under AS Roma at anytime. With only one point less than AS Roma, Lazio surely want to take over the third position if possible. At least they don't want to stand behind Roma but they even can take over a second position of Inter Milan too.

Lazio still play very well after Simeone Inzaghi moved to Inter Milan two seasons ago. Their general performance last few years is contributed a lot by some key people, Immobile, Savic and their ex-coach Simeone Inzaghi.
I had to do a double take on Milan being 6th, I knew that they were doing badly, but I didn't know they were doing this badly. This team was second just a few weeks ago, and between the draws they got and then three games in a row loss? Turns out they became 6th.

I really hope that they could fix whatever was broken because they were a good team and not like something major changed, they are still a good team and they should be able to make some changes and adjustments to go back being a good team again. Lazio would be in trouble if they start to lose, but if not then only team they should worry is Milan, since they are capable of much better but failed so far.

Xavi has good replacements just in case Sergio Busquets cannot make it to feature in the game against Manchester United, he could play Kessie in DM while Gavi and Pedri can play in the midfield. I think Xavi is already preparing his team for this game as Erik Ten Hag is preparing his for this game too.
Gavi's placement on the wing is still very good and I want Xavi to continue to do that. As for the midfield, De Jong and Pedri can still be filled in. This is still very good to do.
This will be better in terms of the transition later or maybe if Barcelona want to make changes to the attack in the second half, for example, they can still improvise.
There were so many disappointing players from the past few years that they are shocked about Gavi being able to play anywhere and still be good. Pedri and De Jong on the midfield, Gavi and when he returns Dembele on the wings, that sounds like a very good system for them and could work very well, or they could just go back to how they were, dembele and raphinha at wings, de jong around the midfielders and gavi/pedri duo at midfield, sort of like back when xavi/iniesta played, not as good if you ask me but there is a whole decade to decide since these kids are still young. They really built a very good team, I think they will only get better and better.

Hoffenheim's performance this season is not good. So Hoffenheim's only goal this season will be to stay away from the relegation zone. And despite their poor recent performances, they are still far from the relegation zone. Hoffenheim is now in 14th place in the points table. Hoffenheim's entire team is in poor form. Attacking and defending players are not performing well in any place. And so the only way to solve their problems now is to change their match strategy. I believe the change in match strategy will actually improve Hoffenheim's overall gameplay.
last season Hoffenheim performed better. they have quite a consistent game in attack and defense.
This season does look very much different. they look like they are having a hard time finding the right playing strategy.
28 goals and 36 conceded, not a good result at all. I'm sure it's not related to their squad. but different patterns are applied that affect performance on the pitch.
It happens, not every team could be consistent with their roster and results. Sometimes you have a great season and could finish in top 4, and very next season you could be 12th, and then 15th or something. Hoffenheim is a team that was pretty good, and between the players who stayed do not have the same desire to play at the top level and wanting to leave, and the ones who already left, they became worse.

Even Bayern is not playing as well as they played for the past 10 years, which means that it is normal for teams like Hoffenheim to have down years as well, they are nowhere near that top level, so them being worse is understandable to say the least.

These monthly burns are just a marketing trick, and unfortunately, it has no effect on BFG because burning 5 million BFG tokens per month is too small. By the way, if we assume that monthly burning continues at the same pace, it will take more than 12 years for the BFG emission to decrease by only half. That's taking into account the fact that they've already burned 1,61 billion tokens (32.77%).

The amount may not be enough to have an impact on the BFG price but it has a positive impact on your daily dividends. The days after the burning, the dividend is also higher, which is nice to have. Maybe they will do a bigger burn when all the tokens have been mined.
It is also quite important to notice that it wasn't there to begin with, this isn't a buyback, it is a burn, which means that it was already not in the market being sold, it was already kept in cold storages probably, so it is not done to make sure that the price goes up, it was never moving the price to begin with and was out of the market, hell probably the few ones next up are already there.

The only reason why this matters is that it's taking money out of the calculation, and the supply grows smaller, imagine if bitcoin was 10 million coins and not 21, it would be much more valuable isn't it? This is why this is a long term thing and not something for just today.
1376  Economy / Web Wallets / Re: Web Browsers begun to have inbuilt Cryptocurrency Wallets on: February 09, 2023, 08:42:21 PM
I was aware of the Opera Crypto browser, but I had no idea that they had integrated a crypto wallet into the default version of their browser. I haven't used Opera for a long time, this might be reason enough to give it another try.
I used opera way back 4 years ago, but it doesn't have such features connected to a cryptocurrency wallet. Furthermore, web browser wallets have a high average chance of being hacked.

     And most of the time web browsers need to be updated because if you don't update them right away there is a chance for hackers to get in and steal sensitive information, and so on.

So for me, I won't use that, instead of using that, like you I would prefer the hardware wallet no matter how expensive it is, and at least it's safe.
Maybe it didn't 4 years ago, but opera has one now, however metamask is still by far better and superior. I have been using opera and meta together for years and years now and I have to say that it is quite good and it hasn't let me down in a long time.

I know that not many people think that it could be sane to trust just one wallet, and they are in favour of having multiple wallets and that way it should be a lot better but the reality is that we shouldn't really be looking for multiple wallets or just diversify your portfolio not just in content but also in storage, but I think outside of ledger which is a hardware wallet, this is the best way to protect your money.
1377  Economy / Economics / Re: Is taking a loan/debt addicted ? on: February 09, 2023, 08:11:52 PM
There are two types of loans
 1. For Good Purposed - like investment, starting a business, or making use of it to make more money
 2. For Unnecessary Things - like party celebrations, hangouts, or what we called 'leisure

It is a need for us to think wisely and do some priorities that could give us a fortune. If taking a loan is for a valid reason like #1, I don't think we shouldn't. As long as we can manage to repay the debts, then there is no problem because it was more regretting if we miss opportunities.
That is the reason why loans were created, but then banks decided to give it to people for smaller things as well and it became a trouble. Normally the whole idea of a loan is to grow, and the banks give it to you because they know you will grow and be able to pay them back as well, but because there are some people who use credit cards and smaller loans for liabilities, they became in trouble with more people defaulting as well.

Even if you fail to pay your loan back as a business, they could just take your business and that will be considered your debt paid, but when you do not have much, it's bad for you and also for the banks as well since they won't be getting their money back.
1378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 09, 2023, 05:01:42 PM
There are many reasons why Liverpool have been so bad this season, and one of the most striking and felt is the departure of Sadio Mane and he is a phenomenal player for Liverpool. And his replacement Darwin Nunez, he is not the same type of player and is very far behind in terms of quality with Sadio Mane.
and for the match against Real Mandrid later, I doubt very much if you look at the current performance, even though Real Madrid's performance has also decreased, in terms of overall play Real Mandrid is much better than Liverpool.
and reportedly a series of minor results in the last few matches threatened Jurgen Klopp's position as coach. And chants of 'Klopp Out' began to be spread by fans on social media. And this will make Jurgen Klopp unable to sleep well, especially since the Premier League is classified as haunted and merciless, it is not impossible that a tragic fate will befall Klopp.
I think it wasn't just talent, which Nunez is much worse than Mane anyway, but it is also the fact that he didn't fit the system. He is not a bad player, but when you play in a way that you are not comfortable with, even one on one with goalkeeper becomes an issue psychologically, which shouldn't be because these players gets all the help, but they just start to be terrible.

Look at Hazard for example, amazing player and then goes to Real and becomes mediocre at best, why? Because he didn't fit the system. Nunez could still be a good player in some other team, but he has no future in Liverpool and they can't just fire him, so they will look to sell him and get someone else.

Have interested match on matchday 20 between RB Leipzig vs Union Berlin, looking on current standing position RB Leipzig behind 3 points left from Union Berlin are on 2nd placed right now. Will settle to top standing position if RB Leipzig success beat Union Berlin. For Union Berlin become great moment keep continue impressive performance and make close position with Bayern Munich left 1 points only on current standing.

Until matchday 20, Bundesliga seems different from last season with Bayern Munich having fewest points left with their rival team, not only top standing position but also with Champion League spot standing more interested because fewest points different only.
I think Bayern is basically just changing skin at this point, many of their players either left or getting older. It means that they need to focus on getting younger players, even Mane was a bad transfer because he is 30+ years old, and they need to find a way to stop using 30+ years old players this much, and find players that are younger. They should take a look at Real Madrid for this, they have benzema, modric, kroos and so forth who are old, but they also have vini, rodrygo, valverde as well.

Bayern doesn't have that, and they need to get that, plus with Neuer injured for all of the season, it is going to be tough to not get scored as much.

What will be the motivation for Messi to keep playing until 2026? For every player, the ultimate dream is like winning the FIFA World Cup. And in case of Messi, he has already achieved that milestone. So what will keep him playing on until 2026? In normal circumstances, players nearing retirement would rather pounce on opportunities which will give them financial security. And Messi already has an offer from the Saudi club Al Hilal. If he moves to Al Hilal, then in all probability he may not represent Argentina anymore. I am not saying that he will take up the Saudi citizenship (which Ronaldo is rumored to be considering). But he maybe part of the Saudi bidding team for the 2030 FIFA World Cup, which may make him ineligible for the selection for Argentine national team.
I guess that there is no need to have a motivation to keep going, if that's just what you want. Doesn't need to be because he wants to win it again, sure it would be lovely if he could win it again of course, but sometimes it's just about doing whatever you want to do and what you like doing.

Like my grandfather who worked until 81 years old and no longer can work, he didn't needed the money, he wasn't getting any promotions because he owned his own business, and his business was barely breaking even, but he had money he lived off anyway, he could have retired at age 70 and never need a penny, he would be well off, but he worked anyway, why? Because that's what he liked to do, and Messi may do it just because of that.
