LASK - Liverpool FC

This is a game in which, on paper, Liverpool are favorites to win and have an odd that is not pleasant for me, 1.33 is a very low odds value in my opinion, because in this game Liverpool, despite being a team superior in terms of squad, they arrive at this game with some very important players injured, for example Trent Alexander-Arnold is injured and Mohamed Salah is also expected not to play. and darwin nunes also doesn't seem to me like he will play or if he did play it could be in the final minutes, so I predict that liverpool in this game could concede a goal and win with some small difficulty, and with that I see that this odds will increase, in case of an increase in the odds value to 1.70 and seeing how the game would be going, then I would take the risk of betting on Liverpool
Liverpool are on fire and they will meet LASK that are smaller than Liverpool in reputation. Liverpool will prioritize Premier League than Europa League but they will play to go as far as possible in Europa League. Before something bad happens with Liverpool squad like massive injuries, they will not lose their concentration for Europa League.

LASK will play at home but I doubt they can prevent Liverpool to end this match without three points.

AS Roma - FC Sheriff Tiraspol

This is another game in which a big league team plays against a small league team and the big league team is being seen as the favorite, although Roma had a good result in their last Serie A game against Empoli , the Roma coach made some interesting comments, he spoke about the physical condition of his players which is not in good condition and is hurting the team a lot, that's why he will have to make some changes in this game against FC Sheriff Tiraspol de so that it spares the players who have recently recovered, I see Bala not playing much in this game or even not playing at all, which is why in my opinion and looking at the sheriff's performance I wouldn't be surprised if this game ended in a draw, all in all. It will depend on the squad in which Roma starts playing
Roma is stronger than Sheriff and they just woke up with an emphatic win over Empoli in Serie A. Empoli even can be considered as a better team than Sheriff so mathematically Roma can beat Sheriff easily. I hope they will start Europa League with a winning to prolong their winning and start a win streak. They are currently a runner-up holder of Europa League and it's bad if they can not beat Sheriff.

I personally would rather have something that would be a bit more different in the end. I know that these type of things are done by a lot of people but I am not one of those people because of the risk OP basically talked about. He literally talks about the big risk, which is why I rather not do it at all.
I agree. We must be flexible with our actions that serve the ultimate goal, protecting our capital first. Profit from trading, profit from funding rate are all not important. They are second or third or lower important thing when we are trading. Profit is good, we all want to get profit but if we only think of profit, and forget about our initial capital, it's wrong, risky and can cause serious loss.

Regarding the TRB which was posted above, look at how much higher it went when the funding rate was already peaked. Basically people shorting which got squeezed. Looks amazing doesn’t it but how do you apply it to make a profit? You really can’t.

It kept squeezing and squeezing and squeezing, when would you enter a short? Or when would you enter a long? Both would of been difficult to time. So the funding rate helps but it’s not the entire picture. Maybe use technical analysis to help you on when to enter the trade.
Funding rate is derivative profit or loss for our trading. Our focus should be closing our position when we feel no longer safe as market shows dangerous signals. Exit it and if luckily enough, to gain small profit from funding rate, we can take it. But if we open our trading positions because of funding rate, because we think it can help us to get profit, it's very risky.

It's always the short, concise, and well-formatted posts that I like and they are the ones that get the most merit too. If you want to write a large post to explain a certain subject, and you are not using formatting, you are doing it wrong.
Writing a large and long post does not make that post is quality but it is a trend from merit fishers. They try to hide their fishing works with long posts and try to confuse campaign managers with their long posts.

If I manage a campaign with 20 participants for each, have 5 campaigns, reading all of those posts if they are all long, is painful. So I will likely accept long posts as quality posts and those post fishers will get payments with no issue from post counting.

No offense to the users who like it vanilla and doesn't prefer using bold or italics in their posts however it just gives a better clarity to what as an OP, you want the user to focus on. Adding headings is also option but adds to the overall look.
Formatting can help to organize a post better but can not increase its quality too much. Quality first has to come from idea in the post, then format can help to polish it more and make your posts more friendly, readable for readers.
584  Economy / Economics / Re: Early Retirement [Pros and Cons] on: September 21, 2023, 01:45:41 AM
There's a certain age that one should reach before one thinks of being retired from work. It would be unwise for someone who is filled with productivity at a young age to think of retirement just because he or she is a millionaire. Human beings as we are, need something that will at least make us get involved in what will facilitate our body system all the time. Leaving our body system without internal and external stimulation will leave us less depressed over time even with our money.
Being rich like a millionaire or billionaire is not enough condition to retire from works. I agree with you that a person must be matured and experienced enough to have good financial management before officially retire from works.

Many stories from celebrities who earned millions or billions of dollar during golden times of their career but later in their life, they were broken financially. It partially raises importance of being matured enough for retirement. You can be rich, super rich but it is not enough to secure your finance later.

Quote
We should at least get our bodies and brains busy all the time because when you get your body system to less function, it develops an unknown fault that can destroy your well-planned retirement.
Starting a retirement is great but we should be ready to get back to work any time because life is never rosy.

it is clear that Bissaka's injury is a loss and a problem for United's defense. Ten Hag will definitely be very confused about this, and there are not many names he can choose to face Munich. today maybe United will give up on Munich if their performance is not much different from before.
Ten Hag really had problems in defense. and losing Bissaka will certainly open up even more gaps. Maybe this will be Munich's opportunity to score lots of goals.
In the last season, when Ten Hag came and did not use Bissaka, many people thought it's the end for Bissaka's career in Manchester United but somehow he managed to get a position in the squad back. In this season, Bissaka gets a good position in the club and his missing by an injury even becomes a big problem for Manchester United. Ten Hag will have more issues with Manchester United defense system when in next matches, he will not have Bissaka.

Quote
look at United's performance in the first 5 matches in the Premier League. of course fans won't like it. Even though there is still quite a long way to go in the season, if Ten Hag doesn't do something in United's defense, I'm sure this half of the season will be bad for United.
Those matches are nightmare for Manchester United and they brought this bad form to Germany and face with one of strongest clubs in Europe, Bayern Munich. It is a high mountain for Manchester United even if they have best squad for the match. In reality they have some players who cannot play in Munich but the opponent is ready to beat Manchester United with Harry Kane and support from some good attacking midfielders.

I noticed that traders are using the funding fee to manipulate the market, although we can not call it manipulation too because they want to make profit, but they can also lose. That is trading. If you are trading these less volatile coins with high funding fee, you will noticed what that I am talking about.
To manipulate the market, market makers use more tools than funding rate. I consider funding rate as one of consequences of market manipulations. It is not a cause of market manipulation but it is one of results from manipulation.

Funding rate is like supply and demand of amateur traders with loan in the market. It shows their demand and sentiment, greed or fear. You can look at funding rate to guess the market sentiment but it is not enough to have an overview of the market. Funding rate, trading volume, zoom out the chart to see a general trend of the market.

as kicker just reported, the deal between fcb and dfb regarding Julian Nagelsmann is through. JN will become the new national coach of germany and will then receive a ten-month contract until the end of the european championship and will coach the dfb team for the first time on the international trip to the usa from october 9 to 18.
Honestly do you think it is a good choice for Germany team?

Nagelsman failed to succeed in Bayern Munich not because he is not talented but because of his age is too young. Many star players in Bayern Munich likely did not respect Nagelsman enough and it is issue of Bayern Munich in the last season. Bayern Munich in their turn, always contribute many players for German team so the problems from Bayern Munich will be seen on German team again.

Problems of German team not only come from Hansi Flick but also come from quality of their players. Recent years, Germany don't have good strikers and after Miroslav Klose, Mario Gomez, it's hard to find a good striker at world class level for their national team. It is big problem in big tournaments like World Cup and Euro and only Nagelsman with a few months is not enough to resolve this big problem.

I can really relate here. I remember my early days in the cryptocurrency market. I exchanged my Bitcoins to these random altcoins, which instead of just taking profits from my Bitcoin profits or just hold it only for Bitcoin, I should've become more profitable instead and not losing a lot.
Altcoins look very promising and attractive because they can rise 100%, 200% within 24 hours or a few days. With Bitcoin, it won't happen with its big marketcap nowadays. Newbies are disguised by such big rises within short time but they don't know risk with altcoins are very big, bigger than Bitcoin.

Even Proof of Work altcoins can die with time so other types of altcoins that can be minted, without Proof of Work, are very risky. They can be dumped by founders, developers and can be abandoned when the market trend is gone. Developers will come back to create new altcoins that match with a newest trend. Old altcoins will be dead ones and investors will only can look those altcoins in their wallet, without value on cryptocurrency market.

I think Milan will win against Newcastle, At least a draw.
And this is a good moment for Pioli not to forget the fans who fought everyone to regain their club glory.

Newcastle's comeback in the Champions League after two decades of absence.
The Toon Army must prove they are worthy of a place in the Champions League.
With many injured players, Joe Willock, Emil Krafth and Joelinton. It's going to be tough.
In this group, don't lose is an acceptable result because you don't let your opponent to get great advantage after a match. However, getting one point is never a success and I am sure every club in this group will try to win their matches if possible. Winning two matches in this group will give a club very good advantage in their race with other clubs.

Newcastle United have many injured players that affected their performances in Premier League. It can be continued in Champions League with limited player resource they have for the match with AC Milan. We also have to take into account their lack of experience in Champions League. AC Milan after some latest seasons in Champions League and the last successful season, will have more experience and confidence in a match with Newcastle United. They also need a win to temporary exit their crisis after a big defeat by Inter Milan last week.

What criteria do you use when buying and selling? Let's share some tips and expertise.


For me, the three most significant factors are as follows:
1. Bitcoin halving.
When you use your money to trade or invest, you must be clear about risk. If it is a money from loan, risk is bigger. You will have pressure from loan expiration, loan repayment and loan interest. You sometimes will not be able to control when you close your positions. If loan expiration comes and you don't have good plan, you will have to exit your positions with loss even you don't want to close them.

Bitcoin halving is big event in cryptocurrency market but it does not bring profit to all investors and can not help all projects grow in value. Altcoin projects must be built up by altcoin developers and it has nothing related to Bitcoin halving.
592  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Trade Deficits on: September 18, 2023, 07:54:59 AM
In order for this not to become a problem in the long run, there would have to be goods/services that could only be (or at the very least are much better to be) purchased in bitcoins, forcing people to exchange fiat currency for bitcoins and closing the trade deficit.
If you want to have stable source of income for a business or for your portfolio, you can choose fiat currency with assumption that fiat currency will be fine, not hyper inflation and no serious loss of its purchasing power after a while.

Even the US. dollar lost its purchasing power over time, so be careful even you pick fiat currency.

If you pick a volatile asset like Bitcoin, you have to accept risk as a business owner, a store operator or an investor, you can not have both stability of price and chance to get profit or low, zero risk factor.

5 points after 5 rounds is completely fucked up, of course  Grin I don’t think that the parallel failures of United and Newcastle somehow reassure Chelsea fans because it was supposed that this would be a season for them with a complete focus on the Premier League (while other clubs are putting their energy into European competition), but so far there is nothing but failures. And I don’t think that Pochettino has time until January, if the team does not start defeating at least weak and average opponents, he will be fired.
Chelsea have a very shameful start in this season as a big club, having only 5 points after 5 matches are so less convincing result from them. After spending lot of money for player transfers in the last two years, they still did not improve their quality. The past season is a mess but they did not show their improvement after this summer. With this performance from Chelsea, it's very hard for them to improve good enough to climb up to top positions of Premier League. They have more challenge from good performances for Tottenham and Newcastle United and the race to top four can be out of Chelsea reach after first half of this season if they and competitors maintain their performances like recently.

Yes, the match was quite difficult for Arsenal because Everton were able to maintain their defense well in the first half, but Arsenal, with their strength this season, were able to steal a gap to score a goal in this match. Arsenal finally managed to win this match with a narrow score which kept them close to Manchester City this week.
Arsenal totally dominated the match but their players did not have enough patience to finish opportunities better. In some situations, if their attacking players simply hold the ball one to few seconds, to make opponent defenders surprised, they can finish those opportunities better. Shot immediately gave those defenders chances to block those shots. Anyway Arsenal eventually had a winning goal from Trossard with a very sensitive touch for his finish.
594  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Not banned, yet not accepted on: September 18, 2023, 12:16:28 AM
I've seen several threads talking about bitcoin not been banned in their country but yet they're  not allowed to make any bitcoin related transactions through their local banks and this has really kept me puzzled lately about how people think because they still use bitcoin despite it's  restrictions in their country makes it seem is not banned.
It is like ban on your bank account if you write details of your bank transfers are for buying or selling bitcoin.

Imagine your bitcoin trade through bank accounts like you have a bank transfer with another person. Mostly I don't write what is that bank transfer for in and I do it not to hide what is that bank transfer is done for. It's just unnecessary and banks even don't mind to force users to write it rather than a template format like Person A transfer. That's all.

If you are doing a bitcoin trade through bank transfer and don't add its details to show you are buying/selling bitcoin, how banks can know what you are doing with your trade partner?

Don't know means bank can not ban your account.

2. It gives you a stronger sense of marketing especially for those who hold for sales during bull. it will give you the strategy of knowing when to sell and hodl.
If you are simply a Bitcoin investor, holder, you don't need to make any marketing effort.

Bitcoin is not a pump and dump cryptocurrency like altcoins and its bull run is very organic. You don't need to marketing to pump and dump Bitcoin and as a small investor, your capital is not big enough do succeed. You can easily enter and exit the market with your small capital even you don't have to create any manipulation game.
596  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 17, 2023, 11:13:18 AM
Well, for a team like Napoli to have players like Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen is already a great success and in general the main squad of the team remained unchanged from last season, but the appointment of Rudi Garcia as head coach is a very controversial decision. His character is complicated and he often quarreled with the players, and in a team like Napoli a lot is based on the atmosphere in the team, so initially the choice of Garcia as head coach seemed strange. It's good that they got back on track this time, but I think the season will be extremely difficult for Napoli.  
Napoli lost one of their most important players, Kim Min-Jae to Bayern Munich and it makes their defense clearly weaker. Napoli did not start this season well, won 2, lost 1 to Lazio and a draw with Genoa is a latest disappointed result from Napoli. It is their continuation of bad result after a defeat under Lazio two weeks ago.

Napoli attacking system is still good as we see how many goals they have scored but their defense affected the team performance a lot. I see Rudi Garcia is a good coach for Napoli but he must work with his midfielders and defenders to improve defense to get better results in coming matches. Napoli are weaker than the last season and they also have pressure to defend their Scudetto.

That's better than losing against genoa but im sure that if many people were feeling so mad with this result. It's caused by most of them have already bet on napoli. The most difficult thing to accept their bets to collapse caused by the draw against genoa which was unacceptable result since napoli was owning the ball possession against genoa.
Napoli have good attacking and even in the defeat against Lazio, they still had good ball possession and created many opportunities. Genoa are weaker than Lazio and I am not surprised how Napoli dominated the match but again they did not convert it to a winning.

Quote
Im doubting that napoli will able to defend its title this season. It's likely intermilan will take it off from napoli.
The result from the current season is far worst compared with last season when napoli was always getting win streak till the end of season.
Napoli will struggle to defend their Scudetto but I think it's too soon to say Inter Milan will take it over from Napoli. AC Milan and Juventus are other competitors can do this too.
597  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 16, 2023, 04:31:10 AM
The news about Pogba won't be affect to Juventus performance because since this season beginning Juventus can able to performing well without Pogba so i think Juventus fans shouldn't be worried about Pogba news and indeed if we see from meeting records i can see during playing at their home ground Juventus had good result from Lazio so this make people so confident to pick Juventus as betting option
Juventus did not have many appearances from Pogba in the last season with like less than 10 matches totally. I believe they even did not expect Pogba will be healthy and play more matches for them in this season. Their initial plan for this season already does not have Pogba as an important piece so his absence by injuries or doping then long suspension like 2 or 4 years won't be a big matter for Juventus in this season.

Quote
i know Lazio has been ended their poor result by beating Napoli two weeks ago but i don't think they can able to beat Juventus and about team condition i am still waiting update condition for Federico Chiesa because he got injured when defend Italy national team and hopefully he will be available today because at Juventus Chiesa is on fire and his duet with Vlahovic is very solid
Quality of Lazio is not the same as Juventus quality and they must have an excellent match to win against Juventus. If they don't have surprising outstanding performance, they only can maximally get one point from Juventus. I am not naively taking Lazio wining against Napoli and think they will be able to repeat a same wining against Juventus.
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 16, 2023, 03:37:30 AM
Even though they are playing at home, West Ham will find it difficult to find winning points against City. City have a very productive attack line. In 4 matches they have scored 11 goals. and they are not yet defeated. If West Ham can hold a draw in the next match, that will be a good achievement for West Ham.
City is West Ham's first tough opponent this season. they have to fight hard to show improvement in their game. This is not easy but it is still possible for West Ham if they implement the right strategy to contain the aggressiveness of City's attackers.
Because a home stadium is not enough for West Ham to cover big difference in quality between their squad and Manchester City squad. Manchester City so far have very hot streak in early of Premier League season. West Ham have to prepare best for the match and hope that Manchester City will be affected by their international duties last two weeks. If star players of Manchester City start the match without 100% fitness and feel tired, West Ham will have better chance to get a point in the match. I don't think they will be able to get three points from Manchester City.

Manchester City is currently on top of everyone in the table and they are still unbeaten in this season. So surely it is not going to be easy for anyone to beat Manchester City. And Manchester City have not shown many weaknesses this season. So I don’t think there will be much exploitation from the opponent.
They have weakness but it's just challenge for their opponents to be strong enough and play cleverly enough to exploit weakness of Manchester City. Their opponents must have good tactics, good ability to follow initial plan and keep calm during a whole match, because Manchester City players only need one or two moments to decide a match result.
