That is an expected thing, I mean why would they want to stay and go fight, when they could just leave to a cheaper nation and stay there until the war is over? It would not make sense to compare these two together.

I understand that there are some nationalistic people who see it holy to go to war and die, some even say it guarantees you to go to heaven if you die in a war for your nation, but you need to realize this is a war for Putin, he is the only one that wants it and no religion on God's green earth would guarantee heaven just because you died while trying to kill innocent other people in the name of your president, that's just not possible.

Casinos are quite difficult to manage because it requires a lot of people to make it work at the same time. I mean imagine being offline and sleeping, if nobody is looking at what's going on, you are going to get abused for user, people will figure out your times and will abuse it somehow.

It's better to have 3 people for each position to have 8 hours shifts at all times (and 2 people at 12 hour shifts when one of them is not available) and that means a lot of people, not just the owner, from developer to designer to staff, the staff needs to be a lot, so they can help with the support. And we are talking about opponents with millions of dollars in marketing, that's who you would be going against.

It's understandable for players to be shocked if they were not told earlier, because that would be a weird way to learn about it. It would be much better if management called the players up and let them know before they learned from the media.

In any case, if they fired (well technically one year ban only but it's firing basically) a coach that reached the finals for the first time in over 10 years, then there must be a real thing going on, otherwise why would they fire him? He was the one that brought so much success to Celtics after years of not being able to win anything, they would not only keep him, but give him a better and longer contract if he didn't do it.
2204  Economy / Economics / Re: Rebuttal: Rich Mindset vs Poor Mindset on: September 27, 2022, 06:20:41 PM
I grew up in a family that wasn't rich, and when something broke, it set us back for months, my parents are still like that unfortunately. A pipe bursts? You do not calculate it and you barely have enough to survive anyway, so you pay it but then you postpone something else, your tooth needs dentist? You pay that but then postpone something else.

For a family that had one salary from my father, and 3 people to live on it, we barely survived, thankfully it was good and we lived a good life, I have never classified myself poor or my family "poor", but we weren't rich, I can say that. That is why I can easily say  that all those "lessons" that rich people give would be from rich people perspective. Give a wealthy person 1 year to live on a salary of a delivery guy and they would go mad and would be in big debt too.
2205  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: WHAT DID YOU STUDY? WHAT DID YOU LEARN? on: September 27, 2022, 03:36:51 PM
I have studied literature and many people think that it allows you to write better if you did that, but in reality it just allowed me to read and understand better. That is a marvellous skill to have in this day and age, because in a world of disinformation, understanding how to read things, and understanding what is real and what is not, seeing what has credible sources and what not, and constantly reading to learn more about things does allow a person to be wiser.

I am not saying I am wise, but at least I have the skills to help me become wise, and seeing how other people talk and understand things and respond, I have to say the level you need to be before you are considered a wise person is quite low in this world, and if you asked people almost everyone would say they are wise, unfortunately.
2206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 26, 2022, 09:43:40 PM
League is getting a bit to a confusing level if you ask me, I can see like maybe 5 teams at the top by the end of the season, it's not like that exactly for now, but it looks like it could get there at least and that's a bit scary if you ask me.

In the long run, Inter and Milan look like they are by far the superior ones to other ones, but it's certainly something that I would not be sure about, they are still not at ease, other teams like Juventus, Roma etc are still coming for that title and would be very hard to stop them if they get on a roll. Roma's game against the big club would certainly make a big difference, it would allow us to see the situation.
2207  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread on: September 26, 2022, 09:31:01 PM
I always say do not wager on these games, it's obvious that teams do not play the way they should, they play basically by not caring about it at all. Too many big nations ended up losing before to make it worthwhile for gambling.

It's obvious that we should be avoiding it because we could see the biggest teams end up losing to smallest teams, I see Faroe Islands end up beating Turkey, that should be a good example, or Denmark beating France, these are all examples why we shouldn't bet on these games, because unimaginable results could happen. Just a friendly type of deal where teams are playing with absolutely no intention of winning at all, that's it.
2208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: September 26, 2022, 08:43:50 PM
I would say they give even too much to City, I would have given like 1.25 at most, because it is clear who is going to win. Don't get me wrong like I always say it's football and even a championship level team could beat City on a good day, it is just based on luck and sometimes football gods wants you to lose, you hit a few unlucky shots, goalkeeper is on his day, crossbar stops the goal etc etc, and then one lucky counter and you are done.

But, let's be reasonable and understand that City is by far the better team, United may have recovered a bit , but not that much and they are going to end up losing this game without a doubt, it is an easy bet for me.
2209  Economy / Economics / Re: Argentina to Hike Interest Rates to 75% as Inflation Nears 100% on: September 26, 2022, 07:16:33 PM
It is obvious that banks would be losing money if they were giving out loans and that was all they do, but they invest into companies, companies which arrange their prices according to inflation and make profit based on that, last year's 100 million can't be accepted again this year, this year you need 200 million profit to stay the same, because it has 100% inflation. This is why it is not because of that, but because they want people to withdraw money from the markets.

If the interest rate is high enough, we all put our money into interest, and when we do that then there are less money in the markets and that means we are going to end up with more valuable money due to scarcity.
2210  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: September 25, 2022, 09:02:00 PM
It's clear that there is an unease with this cup, plus just the date change could be enough reason to not want it to be in Qatar, if they did it in July like every other one, that would be fine, but they said heat would be horrible and even in November-December period they would have heat so much that they put in giant air conditioners, which is why I feel like it's going to be a boring one for sure.

I agree with others though, this is one that we could learn from and that is why we could improve, we never had it there, and after seeing why it's a bad idea this year, we could maybe never have it again there, it's just not acceptable conditions for football in this scale.
2211  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: September 25, 2022, 06:22:41 PM
It's not acceptable for any coach to have something like this, but a further investigation is certainly needed, it could be a faulty news or something like that, we need to know further details. We all remember Kobe deal as well, but the suit was dropped, I do not know the details but there was never a charge that stick, hence why he was able to further himself as a legend.

I feel like if it happened today, the cancel culture would make sure that he would never play again, and we would never see the 24 at all, he wanted to put it behind him and work hard and he did and became legend, will Ime have the same chance to prove he is innocent and continue? I am not so sure.
2212  Economy / Economics / Re: US is a ‘developing country’ on rankings that measure democracy, inequality on: September 25, 2022, 04:33:59 PM
It is understandable because the USA has always been flawed, and they are given only 2 options to pick as a president, and 2 idealogy as well, if one of them loses votes to another, like let’s say progressives like Bernie Sanders started their own campaign, then democrats would lose, if republicans divided into pre-trump and after-trump sides, then democrats will win, so both of them scared to have a new one.

All in all, it is clear that they are just doing the worst possible and convince themselves that it is the best for the nation, and they can't be wrong because accepting that it is wrong would be improvement but it would lead to them losing to each other. Too much of a divided nation to get better, they care more about making each other miserable than improving everyone’s life to a better level.
2213  Economy / Speculation / Re: What can we expect from this statement of Michal Slayer.. on: September 24, 2022, 01:20:30 PM
Honestly anyone can say anything about any situation if they want to, I won't care about it at all and it's not up to me to decide neither. Market will make decisions based on what's going on and who says what, and I am honestly sure that the market won't make a single decision based on what he says.

Some people may think it otherwise and that's understandable, because they really believe in him, but I do not. Look at what happens when Elon speaks and look at what happens when this guy speaks and you see why one of them should be cared and the other shouldn't be. That's my understanding of the situation, maybe I see it differently but that's about the reality not feeling.
2214  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is anyone buying right now because they think we are at or close to the bottom? on: September 23, 2022, 08:14:09 PM
I am. I mean I haven't in a while because I just made a huge debt for myself and it is going to take until December to pay them off so I won't be able to buy anytime soon. But I bought it at these levels before, and I would have right now if I had any money.

I was thinking about maybe taking a bank loan, nothing big like maybe a thousand dollars, and put the debt into smaller pieces, like 50 bucks a month type of deal for 24 months or whatever, and that way I would be able to both pay that back, and would not have to rush. Either pay it back until December with huge amounts and get rid of it and buy more crypto with leftovers, or pay until December and be rid of debt.
2215  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Which altcoins will not survive the bear market? on: September 23, 2022, 07:10:34 PM
The big names are not ought to say, because some of the top 10, even top 20 will not survive. Realize that 5+ years ago there were other coins in the top 10 and we do not have the same ones mostly. Sure things like btc, eth, bnb, xrp all stayed in the top 10 compared to 5 years ago, and stablecoins only grew, but if we keep doing this then we are not going to end up with anything proper in our hands because others will go out, especially in the top 20 rank.

Find things that are working towards the future but always keep improving today as well, those are the ones that will have smaller improvements at all times, but longer period aims at the same time.
2216  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Ripple (XRP) goes up, Bitcoin stays flat or even lose value on: September 23, 2022, 06:32:51 PM
Unfortunately XRP will always be in trouble because we are talking about people who did not do something proper, they are fully centralized and that is why SEC is on top of them at all times. I am not saying that it would make a great investment to avoid it, but not investing into it neither because it all depends on some news.

Look at the ATH price of XRP and when it was, while most others have it in 2021, they have it in 2018 because they were battling SEC during 2021, and there is no guarantee that it won't have the same thing on the next bull run neither. This is why it is smarter to avoid them as much as possible to not take any risks at all.
2217  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Price Prediction. Will LUNC price hit $0.001 in 2022? on: September 23, 2022, 05:38:28 PM
Why would anyone want to lose time on this scam coin? I mean to everyone who is not involved with it, it's crystal clear that it is a terrible project to invest into after what happened. The ones who are involved keep saying that it could be recovered but they are the only ones.

I would understand if we were some traditional stock market hedge fund CEO and saying that bitcoin is bad or something, but we are all crypto lovers here and we all invest into crypto and while investing into over a dozen ones, I am saying that this one isn't, and there are millions like me. To think that you would somehow manage to do it anyway? Like it would recover? That sounds a little bit foolish.
2218  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Accepting Bitcoin for a business on: September 23, 2022, 05:11:12 PM
There is a simple solution to this, use stablecoins and then invest whatever you have left. This way you would be accepting crypto again, USDT or BUSD would be considered in the crypto world, and moving that via BSC or TRX will be very cheap as well and withdrawing it would be cheap as well.

So, you would turn that into cash whenever you need it, doesn't lose value overnight, but does lose value over course of few years due to inflation, which means you could put 10-20% or whatever you can afford to back into bitcoin and the rest will go towards covering your expenses. I do literally the exact thing and have been quite happy with the results so far, I can tell you that much.
2219  Economy / Economics / Re: US Economy Is a Safer Bet Than ‘Dire’ Europe, Goldman Strategists Say on: September 23, 2022, 04:33:41 PM
There is a slight bit of truth in this for Europeans to take a look at. I mean if we are talking about a situation where it's clear that people are not making any big changes in Europe, then it's going to stay the same and that's their trouble. USA at least increases the rates to a good level where it would help dropping the inflation, if you do not increase the rates carefully, then you are going to have high inflation that won't stop.

Euro needs some sort of 3-4% rate as well, not 1% and this is why it looks like US economy looks like a safer bet to me as well. This is not a guarantee of course, but there is a good chance. Do not get me started on the gas prices as well, it's a lot worse for Europe.
2220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: September 22, 2022, 09:59:24 PM
Why did people started to talk about El Classico right now when we have nearly 20 days before it happens? I get that it is the most important game because it allows people to see which one is doing better and it is entertaining and so forth but that doesn't change the fact that we are talking about a game that is long time away, there will be a few more games before it happens.

In any case, we should be focusing on UCL games they have ahead and the league games because those games will matter too, sure not as much as El Classico but if Real wins another game and Barcelona gets a tie or a loss, then El Classico could end with Barcelona win (like last year) and Real could still be ahead (like last year as well).
