Honestly, maybe it is just me but it is getting boring a little bit. At the start of every season there is like this "lets see who will do what" period, and after a while every season it becomes clear that PSG will be champions, and the rest get their position and usually end up at that position. Maybe there will be few changes that's true, but usually it will end up where it is and nothing big will happen.

I think that's an issue and we need to focus on that. At least whatever the federation for French football should distribute the money a bit more equally to make other teams stronger, otherwise we are going to keep watching the same boring football just like these games and just like every game that will happen this season.

I felt the Kenyan batsmen were helpless against the Ugandan bowlers. 187 runs is a big enough target for these teams. Had Kenya been able to stop Uganda between 150-160, the match could have been a competitive one. But Kenya did not have the ability to win by batting at a huge target of 187 runs. The Kenyan team suffered a batting disaster due to the excellent bowling of the Ugandan bowlers. Kenya's innings stopped at just 95 runs. The Kenyan team was defeated by a huge margin of 91 runs in the final match.
Uganda is doing impressive job for the last few months and their performance is increasing day by day which is good sign for them and African region even we are having some troubles with few teams like Zimbabwe and Kenya which came down drastically and now having not good signs for the improvement but good thing happening teams like Namibia and Uganda are doing good job and having good improvement as well in this match we have poor effort from the Kenyan as they leaked too many runs which bring them under massive pressure and their batsmen completely fail to handle this and give trophy to Uganda which is already qualified for the T20i World Cup 2024 in West Indies/USA.

Henry Ssenyondo and Dinesh Nakrani were really impressive during Ugandan bowling they never allow any Kenyan to play freely and create any problem for them with this performance hopefully they could be gone for long time in this region.

Before investing we need to think whether we are going to invest in bitcoin or invest in sheet coins. I always prefer bitcoin investment over sheet coins. Because bitcoin investment is always a long term investment. Because if we patiently plan long term investment then we will get success with bitcoin investment.
What sheet coins? Cheesy, come on don't be shy. Just write their exact spelling. Don't worry, no one will be angry with that, even the admins of Bitcointalk. They deserved to be called that anyway, because they are nothing but only good at scamming people. With that said, will you still think twice if you will choose BTC over them?

But, we need to think twice if we will invest in BTC or not, because it isn't going to be easy. We won't be rich overnight right after we invest in Bitcoin, but it can in fact take a lot of sleepless nights before we earn a good amount. There are still people who can be able to short BTC (short-term investment, and trading) apart from long-term investment. It also have downsides though.

Al-Taawoun is one of the most under-rated clubs in the Saudi Professional League. Last season they finished at the 5th place and at the moment they are at the 4th position in points table (they have the same number of points as the third placed Al Ahli, but the latter is ahead in goal difference). Unlike some of the other Saudi clubs, Al-Taawoun doesn't have any superstars. All they have is Musa Barrow from Gambia and Álvaro Medrán from Spain. But despite all that they have performed above the expectations.
I am also following them, and I was having feeling they can stay into top three but now as they are having decline into their performance most chances they will keep their 5th spot or can go at 6th because most chances we will have top four for the PIF teams which are funded and having huge investments on European Players for the better results.

Currently, Al-Hila is at the top with Al Nassr second and Al Ahli at the third but Al Ittihad is struggling which was last year champions with most chances they will catch and try to have third or fourth spot because these teams having quality veteran European players and in coming transfer window they are going to invest more which will help them for increasing their quality and performance for the second half of this season.

Those 3 teams you mentioned are the top 3 in the Turkish league and they're seriously in a tough competition for the title race this season, and since their next matches aren't very tough ones, they’ll all want to secure the three points and main, ain consistency to get ahead of eachother, but they’ll need to be careful cause sometimes the teams we feel are inferior can be very stubborn and make a big team drop points, well Besiktas and Galatasaray are  a very strong team and i expect them to maintain their consistency.

 You're right, unlike other top Turkish teams, Fenerbahce would be in a tight corner cause they'll be facing another tough Turkish team that's kept a good record in their past 5 matches, well if they work very hard there's a possibility of them breaking Kayserispor's winning streaks, however i feel this is going to be a draw match since both teams are in a good form currently.
Fenerbahce should definitely win, even though their opponent had some decent games, Fenerbahce has been at the top since the start and they have like 150+ million more valuation on their team, they are much better, just because their opponent is close as well doesn't mean that they are nearly as good, it just means that everyone else is that much bad. Two teams in this league should win all the games they play, Fenerbahce and Galatasaray.

We all know they will have losses one or two, they already had one, so it is not like a shocking thing, but they "should" win all their games, it will not be all that simple to just let it be. They will have some games where it is a loss or a draw, but they should be winning them all, and betting against them would be not a smart move.
586  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 19, 2023, 05:32:52 PM
I have observed that the rich, I mean those who are financially comfortable, win more in gambling than the poor. By poor, I mean those who do not have enough to meet all their needs. I don't know the reason for this. Could it be that the rich understand financial management more? Or could it be that the rich are less desperate to win which make them make better gambling decision? I really want to know the reason for this pattern I have observed.
An interesting observation, but you need to clarify how your observations took place. Did the people you are talking about have the same conditions? What type of gambling was there, at what time, on what day and many other variables.
I think the point is that a rich person has a more free attitude towards money and is not afraid of losing it, therefore he makes decisions more freely, while a poor person is more pressured by responsibility
It's true and I agree with it, but I don't think this means that the rich win more in gambling than the poor, it simply means that the rich don't care much about their losses and only focus on their gambling and the big wins they get, while the poor has more concerns about their losses because as you said, they can't be as free as the rich when it comes to money and finances because they can't afford to do that, they have to be careful with their money as they only have a limited amount of it.

So, it's all about affordability and concern that makes things look different and not the wins or losses because a casino wouldn't deliberately make the rich win more and make the poor win less because they are going to get their revenue anyway, and they can get even more if the rich lose because they are generally high rollers.

Bayern Munich must avoid any mistakes that could cause them to lose points, the defeat against Frankfurt was truly unexpected, Bayern Munich was made to look like a mediocre team at Frankfurt headquarters. This season's competitors have been very consistent in maintaining their performance, Bayer Leverkusen was still able to maintain their unbeaten record until the 15th game.

I think the people in charge at Bayern Munich have analysed the game against Frankfurt very well and they should now make the right decisions. Something like this should not happen to Bayern Munich again. Because in the past they have learnt from it and were even stronger afterwards. But if they will also lose the game against Wolfsburg, it will be an uncomfortable Christmas and Winter break at Säbener Strasse.
[/quote]
There is no doubt about Bayern Munich and their strategic team which working on them is having impressive system which is helping them for decades to control here all with now after losing match against Frankfurt they watch their mistakes and starting to work which helps them for having good result against Stuttgart and now most chances they will also be having good result against Wolfsburg which is their next opponent before break.

Currently, they are having four points difference and have one match in hand which is also important hopefully they will not allow Bayer Leverkusen to go past them without any challenging resistance after break things will be heated up, and we will watch the toughest matches between top teams for staying at the top.

Shaheen Shah Afridi is world best bowlers but Pcb overloaded played him in T20, ODI and test cricket regularly.  I think that the resaon they didn't perform well but new 2 bowlers Amir jamal and khuram Shahzad performance in first test is outstanding they picked more wickets in test cricket history as test debut bowlers. Pakistan need to change few player that play well Australia fast bowlers beacuse in 1st test they all out Pakistan in just 89 runs a bad score in second inning. Faheem Ashraf didn't perform well in bowling and batting they will be replaced in second test match against Australia.
Requirement is different for T20 format and test format. In T20, you can't go overaggressive. If you do so, then you may concede 20 runs per over. But in test cricket you need to show aggression, since wicket taking is the priority. In case of Shaheen, this is exactly what happened. He tailored his bowling to suit the T20 leagues, and as a result he can't take wickets in test format. This is why I always say that players need to focus on just one format rather than getting their hands dirty with all three of them. But then, it is up to the PCB to enforce any such rule.
Your cricketing sense is amazing and today really feeling happy as we are part of this cricketing community here on this forum because your observation about these all is perfect with this all now it's time for all boards to have two different teams for white-ball and red-ball games and also increase their wagers as well because both can give their best for the game which will bring better performance and increase of quality is also essential for this all.

Pakistan still have good potential which can bring them back into good frame in all formats, but they need to work hard for the grooming of their players which is currently not happening because no one know how things are working and what to do for the game with after Rameez Raja we have serious mess-up which is bringing non-professional peoples which are not good for the Pakistan cricket team and their all system.
589  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: All thanks to my family they contributed and bought bitcoin for me on: December 19, 2023, 06:31:53 AM
You don't need to be that much worried about this matter. I know that it's tempting to see Bitcoin gaining value day by day while you can see it but can't be a part of it, however, you don't need to stress yourself out or your parents and family. It's good that they have arranged some money for you to invest but you need to make sure that you understand the risks and everything and also explain them to your parents so that they don't feel too bad in case the price drops after you invest since they must have high expectations.

Anyway, now that you have prepared to money to invest, I would suggest you check everything before you do that. The market has been going up constantly for some days, and a correction is expected at any time. If you invest now and the market dips later on, you will surely feel bad for buying high.
590  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How discipline are you in managing your bankroll? on: December 18, 2023, 04:39:24 PM
you need to be very careful and you should stay with your plan.
One should have a budget that they can afford to lose and some free time, and gamble without any plan or anything. Experiment with your gambling, drag odds up and down along with bet sizes, try to hit insane wins, try games that make you have fun and have a smile, and have a time filled with joy and fun instead of worry and tension, that's how you can have the best experience in gambling, you will feel great, and the best thing is, you will only be addicted to the fun and not gambling in general which means you can leave it if you find fun somewhere else.

So, I suggest that people just gamble without putting too much pressure on themselves and their minds, and instead of always having the thought of earning profit one should enjoy the games they are playing which isn't what most gamblers do and I think they do it the wrong way.

I think everyone has similar thoughts about PSG. What I will point out will be more interesting. So, if PSG surprises this year and reaches the semi-finals or finals, will this success be Enrique's success? Maybe if such a thing happens, Mbappe will stay in the team and with a few great transfers, PSG will be one of the favorites next year. This probability is very low, but what if it happens? That's when PSG can catch fire again.
Even every thing is possible in this sport but as PSG is performing I have doubt as they can reach into last eight most chances their journey is going to be ended in this round which could be another poor end for them, they need some time for having mentality and performance for having this trophy and it's never been easy currently their squad having few players which are going to have good future but this all needs some more time Mbappé future is also not clear with we can expect Victor Osimhen can join here in coming season as well.

Luis Enrique is good coach, and he can create good things here in this club as well, but it needs some more time which will allow him for bringing best from the players and also working on mind-set is also important without these changes they can't win this trophy.
592  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 07:11:32 PM
No, I'm not an addicted gambler or have any sort of problem that is affecting my happiness, relationships, security, finances, or anything else. I have never taken gambling seriously, and by seriously I mean that I never put together some money, and have planned to use that money in gambling and earn money using a certain strategy in a particular game because I know that it's not possible, and I don't want to attempt something that I know isn't possible or nearly impossible and waste my resources.

When we talk about the time when one should stop and how to do that, I believe it depends on whether the person is highly addicted to gambling or not and whether they can control the urge to gamble more even when the time is right to stop gambling. A responsible gambler can do that, without a problem.
593  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2023/24 Season on: December 17, 2023, 04:23:24 PM
I think Leverkusen is in its best season in history. They swept all matches in the Bundesliga with a win, no draws or losses. In the UEFA European League they also performed impressively with 6 wins from 6 matches. For me, this was a very surprising result and I immediately placed Leverkusen as the favorite to win the league and UEFA champions. Even though there are English and Italian league teams, I think Leverkusen's performance has been crazy this season.
I have to set the record straight, because in the Bundesliga they have actually drawn 3 times, but they did go through the season without a defeat at least until the latest week. But I still consider the 3 draws as a reasonable thing because it is very difficult to alwasy achieve maximum results in every match.
I agree that this season might be one of the best seasons for Leverkusen, they look very promising with their impressive game. This season their chances of getting the title are also very large, both in the Bundesliga and in the Europa League. But to get it all is certainly not an easy journey, because they must be able to withstand every pressure that comes to them.
In this season, we have huge development in Bundesliga as we have any other than Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund at the top, and they are giving performance consistently which is another good positive change with their current performance and consistency is also big threat for the Bayern Munich as they are having not able to pass them for the topper position of the league Bayer Leverkusen is only team in Europa League which is having all wins which is another achievement for Xabi Alonso and his players.

Even right now we can't predict about any result but still now we can expect good end for them with double is under their radar but if they are able to hold something this could be also impressive but most chances now it's not easy for any team to hold them with their current depth which is best for the soccer field and success.
594  Economy / Economics / Re: My view of wealth and assets specially now on: December 17, 2023, 01:31:23 PM
I also agree that the future will be governed by Gold and BTC.  People have lost faith in the banking system as banks in many countries have gone bankrupt.  So people prefer to keep their money under their own control. Also investing in gold and BTC is safer than anything else.
In terms of investment, Gold is already proven and tested by the public, so yeah. But, I'm not really sure if Bitcoin will be on that same level because what if there will be a banning that will happen again on Bitcoin? There are reports that a bank can go bankrupt and this scares the people but not all banks are like that.

There are people who don't trust their selves on handling their own money, because they lose it easily. There is also a worry about being robbed inside their homes. So, they can trust others to handle it. The banks serves different purpose than Bitcoin and Gold, so expect that there will always be people who will use them.

Welcome to the forum Bombard.com! I visited your casino and liked the UX/UI design, it is very easy and simple to understand. What I did not understand is the need to sign in or sign up only to read FAQs and Terms of Service on your platform. I also noticed that on your chat 96 members remain constant without any messages being exchanged are those bots?
I visit it as well but unlike you, I didn't feel any extra-ordinary. So, sorry. But indeed it was only simple. There were lack of designs, writings, and other stuffs I see in the screen. I guess that is because there is only one game available. Speaking of game, I don't know what is it, but I think it was like a mines, due to its layout. Add in their domain name which indicates explosion.

As you pointed out, TOS needs to be viewable easily. Usually it is placed under the sign up and sign in button because of their importance. 96 members are still there, so they are definitely a bot. I think it's better that they are not making any noise, because bot's messages are not that good enough, and it's only going to annoy you more.
596  Economy / Speculation / Re: Whats your thought on: December 17, 2023, 06:26:44 AM
Although we can say that a full bull run is going to happen right after the block halving, it could be weeks or months right after that activity. But so far though, others consider this great leap that we have since the beginning of the year at least last year when we have a lowest low of $15k.

So for now, all speculations pointed out to a $45k at the end of the year it could be attainable. But it depends on how the speculators are going to do it. They might push it as there are some positive news about the approval of Bitcoin Spot ETF and they might used this one to fuel FOMO before the end of the year.
If that so, then it is not true that the cause of the bull run is the Bitcoin halving, but people are only using it to hype things up. I think events doesn't really matter. With or without them, people are still doing their duties (e.g buying, and hodling) in order to gain benefits in this market.

Agree on what you said that people are already thankful even on this year or moment we have now, because the price is better than what we have last time. About that $45k, I think we already hit that last day/s? If not, we are still very close to it, so why not? The BTC ETF approval news isn't new, and I think it's not its schedule yet this year, so people aren't going to FOMO for now because of it.

It doesn't feel that "corrupt", I mean financially if there is a financial fair play that is getting broken then the Uefa has to do something about it but from what I can see they have not found any financial fair play issues. When you accept that financially they are all fair and not breaking anything, then you need to look at the team values.

Fenerbahce and Galatasaray are much higher valued teams than any other team in that league and they are both at the very top, ahead of everyone else, Besiktas is third and they are near the third in the results as well. It is not really a shocker to see the standings when you compare the values of the teams players as well. So in the end, what is so corrupt? Good teams are doing good, why is it so shocking?
598  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Bankroll! on: December 16, 2023, 06:21:46 PM
For me, $20 is enough to bet on sports betting, especially if I bet too much. That $20 might still be there for a week or even more, depending on the match going on.

I never have expectations about how much profit I expect in a year. I am still far from other gamblers in that they definitely use more and can place bets with big money. That's why I only use small money to bet on sports betting.

At least I am satisfied with what I get from sports betting. I never thought about increasing the amount of money to bet. That would only increase my number of losses and I didn't want to do that.
So, $20 is going to be your maximum bankroll? That seems acceptable for a poor gambler like me. For that amount to last for a week or so, you must be very lucky to win or just break even. Playing rarely and playing small amounts will also be a reason for it to stay longer.

I think it's okay to have expectations but just don't over do it, or over think about it. And just say that even if it won't happen, you will still be alright. Don't copy others if they are betting high. You won't know, what if they are earning more, than yours? And they could also handle the stress when they lose it. There are still gamblers who aren't like that and yet, tries to bet high. Well, good luck to them.

The final match of Vijay Hazare Trophy will be played today at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot. Haryana will take on Rajasthan and both of them were not among the favorites when this tournament started. Haryana is the surprise package, having defeated very strong teams in group and knockout phases. They are led by Ashok Menaria, with Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel being the only other experienced players. Rajasthan is relatively more star-studded, with players such as Deepak Hooda, Khaleel Ahmed, Deepak Chahar, Rahul Chahar and Mahipal Lomror in the squad.   
The match has just started and Haryana is batting right now. Only the first over has been played of this match. And they have already given two extra runs I can see. Rajasthan needs to start to be more disciplined in the bowling. The Batsmen are trying to be careful at this moment. And they are taking it easy right now. Of course, they are trying to survive for the first few overs. After that, there will be an acceleration. So far nothing worth mentioning has happened to be honest.
After electing to bat first, Haryana having early troubles as they lost two early wickets but now good recovery from Ankit Kumar and Ashok both already having 80 runs partnership even their run-rate is slow, but they are doing good job and creating foundation for the better end of their inning.

Rajasthan having good bowlers which are not leading runs and also not allowing batsmen to play freely but if we have these two batsmen on crease for few more overs than surely we can expect good scoring shots with due to slow batting now pressure is also building on them for having some good target for their team hopefully we will have good end of this Vijay Hazare Trophy 2023 final.

The season may look to have more to offer but right now we almost done with the first half of the season and any team at a top position and still but in as much effort in the next half of the season can have a very good turn out at the end of the season.
Well if I were to say who would be in the top six position at the end of the season I would say Arsenal at the first position just because I think they are solid and deserve it and then Manchester city, Liverpool and Aston villa then in six and fifth would be Newcastle and Tottenham.
The Premier League is an amazing League where you can not tell which club will win the Premier League trophy until the end of the season. Manchester City has been in this situation on two occasions and still ends up winning the Premier League trophy. I'm sure that Arsenal will finish top four.
English Premier League is one of the most exciting leagues in soccer world which having best clubs which are giving every season their best for the title race and good thing we have no monopoly of one or two teams, mostly we have nearly 5 to 6 teams which are having fair chance for staying at the top and fight for the title as well in current season we have Tottenham then Manchester City and now Liverpool as league leaders and still nothing is clear who is going to stay at the top.

Arsenal, Aston Villa and Tottenham are still good but due to Injuries Manchester City they are struggling with one thing is sure they have quality and power which can bring them back to the top, and they can lead again, but this is surely not easy with needs tough fight for the lead.
