In the second half of the match, which ended goalless in the first half, galatasaray scored 4 goals to win.I think coach fatih tekke was prevented from controlling his team by seeing an early red card.Strangely, I must say that the referee's decisions were effective again in the second half.Although they made the VAR referee a foreigner, maybe they didn't even listen to most of the decisions of the VAR referee.Galatasaray managed to take the lead from Fenerbahçe again and maintain the point difference.This championship fight is likely to end with the derby match that Galatasaray will play at home.
In first half, we have good approach by Alanyaspor as they were not allowing Galatasaray to have anything positive but in start of the second half we have change of strategy which works for them, and they score two quick goals with Yilmaz and Ziyech put things well settled for the visitors and as we have red card for the Alanyaspor then some more action from the Galatasaray, and they were able to have 3 full points which are keeping them at the top of the Super League with this performance and difference of points things are clearly indicating they are going to win this season just round 37 derby is going to have some impact on change otherwise things are clearly going into favour of the Galatasaray for the win in this season.

If for any reason Barcelona lets go of their young Spanish midfielder Pedri, I think it's one decision they'll definitely regret in the future and my own opinion is based on the potentials the young star have already shown. Barcelona in recent years have not been financially stable and that was why they've not been active in the transfer market so selling off a good player like Pedri will give them more issues as to find his replacement. The young Spanish player have been sidelined for most part of the season because of injuries he's suffered but that shouldn't be the reason why Barcelona would want to let go of him.
Barcelona is currently having too many problems and things are clearly indicating we are going to have few changes as well which are important for the future of this club with huge debit and few players which are taking huge salaries are creating problem just because of this if they are going to have few bold decisions these are going to be good for the time being because it is important and surely can bring positive changes as well.

But, I have to still believe they needed to rethink about selling of few players which are having good for them in future Pedri is one of them which they needed to be stayed here and serve for long time injuries can happen to anyone but still they needed to be had double check as decisions like these can bring hectic things because suddenly we have good change of performance which bring them to second spot and their chances are also high for the success into Champions League in this season after good performance against PSG.

I've always held the belief that Memecoins could potentially harm new investors in cryptocurrencies, leading them to feel discouraged after getting burned and thinking that the entire crypto market is volatile.
That's the truth, your friends are just a fraction of the percentage of people investing in meme coins as their initial investments and believe me, a large percentage of such investors get burned and then leave the industry because of their initial losses because not every single meme coin manages to get enough hype to perform and provide profit to their investors and those investing in unprofitable meme coins are getting burned it is just that we aren't aware of them.

I don't support encouraging newbies to get into meme coins when they join the industry, I know that most people these days are looking for ways that they can use to earn quick money and they find meme coins to be an opportunity to achieve that, however, it is not worth the risk in my opinion because you have a very high chance of losing your capital this way.

After successful games, Xavi’s mood changed and now, I see that some fans are discussing the possibility that he can remain in the team, but we are talking about the fact that he has set conditions under which he can remain in the team, and the main thing is to strengthen the team this summer. He wants to see Kimmich from Bayern and Silva from City in Barcelona. in fact, these are very strong players and will cost a lot of money.

Can Xavi stay on the team, how do you think?
Xavi's announcement about leaving this club at the end of this club having huge positive impact on their performance and now in this year we have 21 games 3 loses and 3 draw 15 wins mean things are back on track, and they are having strong case for staying at the second spot with chances are high for the going into semifinal for the Champions League as well things like these having change of mind for the Xavi as well so for me most chances he is going to stay at Barcelona for some more time which is good for them because in coming season we can have better performance and better chance of winning the trophy because they are now heading for the better things after having the worst time in this season but still nothing is predictable because it's all about not easy for anyone to keep things at this level with serious financial issues.

Chennai Super Kings were in excellent batting form in MI vs CSK, scoring 206 runs in the first innings. CSK's batting performance was excellent today, but right now MI are in batting form to meet the target of 207 runs. At the moment, Mumbai Indians' opening batsman duo Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma are experienced batsmen. As long as these two are at the crease, good runs will surely be collected, so Chennai Super Kings will have to put up a good bowling performance. Mumbai Indians' batting performance at the moment will give them an easy win, Chennai may not be able to win with the way they are collecting runs. The two opening batsmen are batting superbly at the moment, Mumbai need only 170 runs to win.
In start 206 was looking good target but now suddenly as we have well charged from the Rohit Sharma things are looking more interesting after five overs we are having 53 runs without any lost and both Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan looking into good touch which can give them good win which will be good booster for them which are looking for the better results under new captain Hardick Pandya.

Shardul Thakur and Mustafizur Rahman both are having punishment from the openers which are going to be had important role in first ten overs for the win of their team now we have good headache for the selectors as well with many youngsters are giving their best and have enough quality to have part of the Team Indian in coming T20i World Cup which is going to play in the USA and West Indies.

Bitcoin have remain illegal in several countries,including Qatar,China and saudi Arabia because it cannot be regulated and its illicit ties to Money laundering,financing Terrorism,human trafficking etc.  Despite all this illegal tiers about Bitcoin,what could be the reason why  some develop nations
like USA,United kingdom,Canada,france,Denmark etc haven't considered Banning the use of bitcoin.I love to hear your views
Probably because more developed nations and countries think more wisely and look at the distant future before they make any impulsive decisions that might not be beneficial for their countries or regions. Countries that ban cryptocurrencies or any other growing technologies are handicapping the future of their nations because, in the future, the whole world will move more towards technology and digitalization, and if you are not ready to accept changes, it's your loss.

Besides, cryptocurrencies can be regulated, they just can't be controlled just like how governments and authorities control other financial systems which is probably what some countries can't accept as they don't want their people to access and use financial systems that aren't in their control.

Having a league that is filled with almost retiring players just for fame was great idea for viewership but Al Hilal took that money and bought some players who are not that old yet, I think that was the difference maker. They could have bought some 36+ years old super famous guy, but instead they did 25-32 range and that worked a lot better for them.

I think it is going to be quite interesting to see if they are going to be great there or not, they are great this season but Al Hilal has the ability to keep winning as well, since their players are not that old, they could still be good next season as well. We will have to wait and see, this season was over like 4 months ago, not now, so it is not really a new thing to see this.
88  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which coin is more profitable? on: April 13, 2024, 05:46:23 PM
Just one bitcoin
Bitcoin is the most profitable crypto to all investors. Bitcoin is the first digital asset to hit the crypto market. In fact it was more profitable for its early investors.
Without any form of comparison Bitcoin is the best and has proven to be the best of all time, other coins performance depends on Bitcoin performance, Bitcoin is less risky, and it has a solid foundation, from invention it has shown lots of significant outstanding performance, those that invest at it earliest stage and has hold for long will tell more about the proven potentials it holds, with dca strategy you can invest with as little as you can after making provisions for you personal up keep, emergency, reserved and float funds which will accompany you in having a successful Bitcoin investment journey.
No wonder why you say "without any form of comparison" because if it is, then it will be hard for us to say that BTC is the best because other alts had some use cases that it doesn't have. This is the reason why they can rise on their own because they can get a different demand. Guess it's safe to say that they are also less risky but BTC had built a more solid foundation because it's more older than them. Nowadays, it's no secret anymore if what BTC can do because its past records are already written and documented which are freely available for public viewing. There are two ways to invest but indeed DCA, seems to be more flexible.
89  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 13, 2024, 05:23:23 PM
Some time ago there were rumors that Xavi would not leave Barcelona, but it seems his decision remains firm to leave Barcelona and through Fabrizio Romano's upload we know this is valid news that cannot be doubted. Some time ago there was news that Joan Laporta would try his best to keep Xavi and some of us definitely believe that considering that Barcelona can only rely on Xavi with its current finances.

But from Xavi's side, it seems like he doesn't want to get into any more trouble and with such a huge burden of responsibility he certainly feels he is no longer able to handle this team. Barcelona's expectations were too high but they couldn't keep up with the hunt for good players in the transfer window and of course Xavi's request to bring in the players he wanted couldn't be fulfilled while coaching Barcelona.

However, on the other hand, Barcelona has players from the academy who are quite reliable, such as Lamine Yamal, Fermin Lopez or their new talented young defender, Pau Cubarsi. However, if Barcelona wants to compete next season, they have to buy above average players to complement the deficiencies in depth.
Since Barcelona management are unable to provide the players xavi needs,  there  is nothing he can do to make the team better than what it is. Their is no need for him to remain as coach,  he believes he can do better to win trophies  if only gets the best players and Barcelona can't afford it. I believe if xavi insists to be coach of Barcelona without buying more players to get the his desired squad it can affect him as a coach lead to more problem. Xaxi has done his best for Barcelona aleast winning laliga title is a good achievement.  I feel he is tired of working for Barcelona because he can't do more than his strength to give the club the best.

Barcelona should just look for a better coach that can continue from where xavi stops. Barcelona just need a need coach that will be capable of working with the current players the club has since the club is facing financial challenge.
Xavi has been a dream manager for Barcelona and they can't get anyone who would be as good as him. I can't see anyone who would do a better job, Xavi not wanting to stay there makes sense in a way, because of the financial issues they are having, it makes sense that he doesn't want to be manager of a team that can't make any decent transfers and unfortunately there is no clear future neither, not like you could say in 3 years all the debt will be gone or anything, they are doing even worse every year.

So, it is clear that we are talking about a situation that will not be fixed anytime soon, so Xavi wanting to leave for a team that has money would make sense. Think about it, there are so many teams with rich owners now, why not try to go to one of them.
90  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A gambler lost what he couldn't afford to lost and broke his TV after game Lost on: April 13, 2024, 02:35:10 PM
This is stupidity upon addiction. I can only imagine what was going through his mind when he threw such a big  amount into the casino. He should've thought better of the negative effect of his decision before engaging. I still cannot settle with the fact that some people are still very much one way minded when making decisions. Action and reaction are equal and opposite, this still applies to almost everything we do in life. His was only thinking about his action converting for him and never thought of the effect it could have on him upon losing. Now the reaction was more than his lost funds, he destroyed his television set in the process which led to a double loss.

I don't pity such people, he deserved what he got because it wasn't an accident, but an intentional act. I only hope he  learned his lessons
Addicted gamblers often lose the ability to think critically and make mindful decisions whether it's about making their bets or reacting after incurring losses. Just like this guy, they first make reckless gambling decisions and bets that they can't afford to lose, and then when they lose those bets, they rage and do things that make them lose more money or properties eventually which, as you said, makes it become a double loss for them.

This is the reason why one needs to be responsible with their gambling activities, and gambling isn't for people who don't have enough patience and control over their emotions because if he was patient, he wouldn't break his TV after the loss and that could at least save him some money.
91  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Premier League 2023/2024 Discussion Thread ⚽ on: April 12, 2024, 05:15:55 PM
It's true what you say, indeed Arsenal this season they look good with their game and performance, although there are some matches that end with less than optimal results but I'm sure they've done their best. like when they faced West Ham, in the first leg they lost, but in the second leg they managed to turn things around very optimally in my opinion, and also when they faced United which ended in a draw it was not too bad either.

I myself believe more in City who will win the league this season. because indeed City also this season includes a team that is indeed very strong, even they can compensate for big teams like Real Madrid.
They do look better than last year to be fair, not that they looked bad last year and they almost won the title last year as well which means that they could have the same result of "almost won, but eventually lost" just like last year. However, even if that happens, we could say that they were even closer this season, they looked a lot better.

I personally believe that the best thing to do right now for them would be just ignoring the situation at hand, like not focus on how close they are, and look at every single game. If they keep focusing only game by game then they will do better but if they look at the standings then they may start to get worried, that's why they just need to take it game by game without worrying about the league table.
92  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Gambling: Modern entertainment or highly addictive game? on: April 12, 2024, 04:28:03 PM
I almost got carried away the first time that I started gambling online, because of the varieties of games and I can gamble even on my bed, but I became very cautious of myself when I noticed a strange change in my attitude towards gambling. This was how I could control myself, so what I have to say is that online casino, can make someone get addicted easily compared to land based casinos.
Well, it's a double-edged sword where convenience comes with making it easier to form a gambling addiction. We are easily stimulated to try different games when we play online. This is very dangerous and it is difficult for us to control our behavior, it's like mindlessly watching Youtube or scrolling through Tiktok.
There are people who can get easily attached to what they are doing but some are not like that. Both online and offline gambling had different games to choose from but it's only optional to try the other after the first one. At first, trying them looks fun but we will realize later on that it is also money-consuming.

This is why I ended up sticking on one game. Forms are only easy to access but there are extra verifications that only people who are on legal age can answer. Ads that we see will also depend on our interests. If we are into gambling, we can see lots of gambling ads as well. As long as we don't use the device of our kids, I don't think they will get exposed to it.
93  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: What's your favorite crypto loan platform? on: April 12, 2024, 03:04:33 PM
If you are willing to get a loan keeping your assets as collateral than defi would be a better choice. Centralized platform for borrowing has mostly ended badly, in a scam or liquidation. DEFI at the moment, provides a great options if you are trying to get loan or trying to get good interest on your stablecoins.
If you are trying to take a loan for trading, you can just use loan platform inbuilt in popular and trusted exchange like Binance. You can just leverage if you want to actively trade a coin. With so many good options available, I'd not give a riskier centralized platform my money.
I think this is their main purpose and this is why they have a name like that (defi) which is short for decentralized finance. When we hear the word finance, we can automatically think of lend, loan or borrow money. Their only difference from the traditional financing service in the real world is they are decentralized because this is what is crypto all about or supposed to be. It skips the hassle of KYC and stuffs but this can also be risky as criminal minds will have more confidence on doing their thing because of that fact. So, do not say that it was their centralized counterpart is the one that is bad. After all, it is still better if we are free from debts.
94  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Stopping the curse of losing streak? on: April 12, 2024, 11:26:53 AM
Resting your mind in these moments of long losses is essential to be able to come back renewed, even if the losses continue. What I see is that you can't stop betting, much less come back and want to recover what you lost. Accept the loss, reset and start again.
That's what most gamblers can't do, they can't let go of their losses and start afresh every time they start gambling which is why they lose more in every other gambling session. If a gambler starts accepting their losses and moves ahead, there won't be any loss streaks that would look like a curse.

If you are a gambler and you keep losing money all the time and you are facing that situation only because you are always chasing your losses, you need to change your pattern, stop chasing your losses and try to gamble normally every time even if you have lost in your last gambling session.

This will make you feel better and you won't have an unending loss streak anymore.
95  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is This How I Lost All Of My Money From Atomic Wallet? on: April 11, 2024, 03:19:04 PM
All you did was follow the instructions of the scammers at the cost of your funds. The used Atomic wallet to deceive you, I have seen similar scams attempts using trust wallet but I never fell for them because I knew from miles away that they were scams.
Whether he was scammed in the name of Atomic Wallet support or somewhere else, we can't be sure, because based on what he has said so far, he contacted the official support and also downloaded the official version of the app, and the support team never asked for his seed phrase but asked him to import his wallet in the Cosmostation. I don't see how they can transfer his funds if they didn't get the seed phrase themselves.

So, I believe he most probably got phished or something before this issue or while he was in contact with the support team of Atomic Wallet because there can only be two things, either someone had access to his wallet through the seed phrase or the Cosmo wallet team accessed his wallet and transferred the funds.
96  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Land Based Casinos in the Digital Age on: April 11, 2024, 08:29:10 AM
As technology develops, physical casinos may be less popular than online casinos because nowadays most people prefer to use cellphones wherever they go and online casinos are easy to do anywhere, whereas in land-based casinos we have to visit the gambling house. I even think that one day gambling houses will become extinct and they will switch to online casinos because if they don't keep up with developments they will be increasingly left behind. Indeed there are some people who may still be able to visit land-based casinos but not as many as in the past so in my opinion, land-based casinos continue hoping that someone will come to visit, it would be better if he changed the concept to change it online so that the profits return to normal.
Cellphone isn't just simply preferred but they need it primarily for communications. Other features included there are what we can say only just a bonus. If we think about it, there are still land-based services like computer shops even though mini-computers are now dominating but their numbers were maybe lesser now compared to before. I believe the same faith physical casinos will experience. At least they won't be extinct totally.

Physical casinos can include new stuffs but they still can't imitate the comfortability that these online casinos bring. As much as you do, for sure that many physical business owners have also think of the idea to switch online and maybe many of them are now already there.
97  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How does the game of luck in gambling really works? on: April 11, 2024, 05:20:44 AM
We win by chance and not luck, every gambler wins because of the chance present in the game, its not being lucky. It doesn't matter whether you have won for a long time or not.
Chances or odds determine the possibility of your winning, but you only win if you are lucky enough for that because the results are randomly generated and aren't influenced by anything else. It means how consciously or how much you are experienced in gambling got nothing to do with your winning chances.

You won because your analysis and prediction work and you were ready to risk the amount you risk because you know two possible outcome win or lose, will you then say you were lucky for the winning?
If there are two possibilities, winning and losing, and you are winning when the result is ought to be randomly generated, what would you call that? It's luck, if you are unlucky, you lose.

In essence there  is no game of luck, I know some gamblers believe luck happens, if luck exist what's the need for predictions, decision or analysis before we place our  bets.
You don't do analysis or anything when you are playing luck-based games. How can you do analysis when you are playing in a slot machine? You can't do that, all you do is decide the amount you want to bet and press the button.

For me luck is just an illusion we are wired to believe. Gamble responsibly, discipline and moderation is needed and appropriate risk tolerance that's all. No need to overstretched it.
Responsible gambling is important, no doubt about that, but I don't agree with you that luck doesn't exist, if it didn't, no one in the world would manage to win life-changing amounts of money from gambling that too with very small bankrolls.

First, People will need to Invest in Cloud Mining and Mining Bitcoin. That will be Part of the Price going up. There will have to be People that are Constantly involved in Mining and getting more Bitcoins, but mostly Holding them for the Future with Plans to Sell them for a Higher Price. And we want People to have Mining Machines that they can use for Other Currencies, we will always want there to be People Mining. And very Soon, we will be Helping People to use their Old Machines and Things by Creating New Currencies in the Van Kush Family Network, but that is beside the Point. But the Point is that we will always want People to be Mining, with Laptops, with ASICs, all of that will be Happening.
I don't trust cloud mining services because they are scams, mostly, it is also not possible to mine anything with laptops of home computers anymore in my opinion, and even if there are some tokens and coins that you can mine with a personal computer, they would probably need you to spend more money on electricity bills than you will get by selling those coins or tokens because they would be worthless and this mining process doesn't produce anything but losses for the individual.

Talking about the price of Bitcoin, most of us are optimistic that we will see it hitting at least $100k this bull run because it has changed the pattern a little bit by hitting a new all-time high before the halving event which means we have seen a wave of the bull run before the halving this time, and in the second wave, we expect to see it crossing $100k.
99  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: April 10, 2024, 06:12:24 PM
So where's the fun when you lose your money?
When a gambler gets involved in gambling, he becomes addicted to gambling primarily because of his interest in money. I can never take it for granted that anyone who is into gambling is just for fun no matter what they say because a gambler is involved in gambling because of the interest and greed for money.
When a gambler bets on gambling, he is betting for profit. If the gambler loses on that bet, then basically a kind of anxiety is created in him. He becomes depressed because no matter how much he bets on gambling for pleasure, losing will inevitably create some kind of anxiety in him.
The anxiety you are talking about isn't found in a lot of gamblers, including me, which means that a lot of us gamblers wouldn't try to chase our losses or get anxious and depressed when we lose our money when gambling and the reason for that are that we don't gamble for money, and we always gamble with a budget that we have decided beforehand and if we lose it, we are done for the day or the week. So yes, we do exist Grin.

However, that doesn't mean we enjoy our losses, lol. If I'm gambling, even if I'm doing it just for fun or to try my luck and I'm a responsible gambler, I would feel bad if I lose my money because I'm a human after all, but that feeling doesn't make me do anything more than just having a small sadness and then it vanishes as soon as I make myself understand that it's gambling and such things are bound to happen in it, let it go.

It is with coincidence that I've got a friend that have taught the same thing. When the US market is active, then that's the time he should also trade. This market is on the stocks and not with crypto but I think that he makes sense. Well, he's not so profitable trader but I've learned also from some of his observation about this type of trading during day and night, I don't really find something good or bad with them. As long as you're good with any time of the day and you are making profits, that's when you should trade and that's always been the best time.
As far as I know, the cryptocurrency market is barely affected by traditional financial markets such as stock markets, and you can't expect to have a pump or dump in Bitcoin's price or in the cryptocurrency market based on the opening or closing of those markets, and if someone sees something like that happening some day, it might be a coincidence and one should make a strategy out of that because if it doesn't happen all the time, the strategy might fail.

People who trade in the cryptocurrency market need to evaluate this market only and keep track of any piece of news or anything related to cryptocurrencies because those are the things that might affect the market but other financial markets don't have much of an influence on them.
