I would guess that if PSG wasn't this good, the league would not be even at fifth position right now. Imagine it, if PSG was as good as Lyon or Lille or something like that, and every other team is the same exact level, would this league be any good? I would say they would be pretty lower level, they would be at the levels of Portugal or Dutch leagues basically, not talked about with the big leagues.
Now, thanks to PSG they have a team that could potentially win the UCL, not saying they will, but that's what they are aiming at at least. This is why it's not that much fun to watch the league when PSG wins nor when they lose, it's both quite boring to see in the end.
They have that as an objective from quite some time now,they are fighting many years to win the Champions League yet they are being eliminated year after year from a different team from another major league,like Spain and England most of the cases. They sure have great quality players like having for me the best midfielder and attacker like Messi and Neymar and these names only are scary enough to scare any opponent yet in the Champions League it is not working.PSG sure adds to Ligue 1 but does not make it better to watch than the Dutch league for example,for me Ajax vs Psv or Ajax vs Feyenoord games are better than any PSG game against Lens or Marseille or Lille. |

Manchester United has been doing great both in the league football and cup matches, the team has consistently showed a high level of preparedness to always win despite the 3:2 loss to Arsenal which was not really clear on whom to blame in the team, with the look of things I see Manchester United doing abundantly great because they dont seem to get tired soon, but they should learn how to convert more of their chances in any match to a success.
Difficult challenges lie ahead for Manchester United and that one in Europa League is the biggest test so far for them.They will be facing one of the best teams in Europe in an awesome form recently which is Barcelona.If they can win against them be it only one from the two games this will boost Manchester United morale and I am sure they will come back much more dangerous to the Premier League and win a lot of games.However the fact that Manchester United is not able to win games against teams like Crystal Palace says a lot about their inconsistency,I hope they recover but they should stop making such errors if in the end they want to be in the top 4 of the standings. |

Does anybody have this experience or this is happening with me. Most of my gambling losses have taken place when I feel lonely.
Today one such incident have taken place. I've kept my last few weeks signature earning aside to meet some medical needs. Today my mother got hospitalised and I'm her attender. She is supposed to take a minor surgery as her vision isn't clear. She's been taken to the Operation Theatre and I was left alone in the room. If anything required the nursing staff would call me. By thos time my mind didn't think about anything. All of the sudden why don't you gamble? and I started and made 0.009BTC close to 0.01BTC and the greed didn't left me. Finally lost all my month's earning kept aside.
Through this I would like to remind be careful when you are alone. If your mind wish to gamble, go for it. But don't consider it as a way to pass your time and keep on wagering. The outcome might hurt, because most of the time loneliness is felt when our mind is in a bad mood. Some enjoy being lonely, but the reality used to be different.
It happens to me not only when I am alone but because I am always that stupid to think that this time will hit it big.Usually I play half of my signatures earning in slot machines in the Play n Go provider and I play this money on this provider because compared to others this usually gives the bonus round more easily and I try to win big from it.During most of the times I get them a couple of times but days like this one or usually on Sundays when I am alone and I have an urge to gamble are the worst days as I never seem to get the bonus round no matter that I play with the minimum bet.Today right now I got mad at the game for not giving a single time the bonus round for more than 40 dollars with 0.10 bet,but I was strong enough to quit and take some money The only good thing out of this is that the casino I play,the one in my signature makes ever bet count and I just need 15% to get to the first VIP level thanks to these plays,this is the only positive from them,which keeps me playing every week. |

Yeah that has been known for a while and talked about a few pages back, but there is still a question about it. Every single year Ferrari team comes out and says something that makes the fans go "this is the year!!" and then it turns out that they are still not that great.
Well, this is a common thing for all the teams, no? I've never seen a team saying on tv "our car sucks and next year will be slower by 1-second"  That's because they don't want any added pressure on their shoulders. Imagine telling everybody and confirming the rumor that your engines did have an increase of 30 hp then ending up losing every week vs Verstappen and Red Bull... Lol. And if anything, these rumors could have been invented and being spread by top rivals like Red Bull and Mercedes to play with Ferrari engineers' minds and put pressure on them.  I think there is absolutely no pressure on Ferrari engineers considering they are basically not expected to be good anyway lol. Ferrari is known to be a team that has so much potential, so much money and then keeps making mistakes all the time to cause a loss. They had a very close chance with Vettel once, but luck would have it and they lost, and then last year wasn't that close but they had so much disappointment as well and many mistakes too. These were not just engineers, but I am sure they are not expected to do that well neither. Red Bull for example has a lot more pressure, why? Because they are the champions back to back, and winning a third time is hard, and they are expected to do that. I agree that Ferrari should start the 2023 season by telling their fans that they will be fighting to win every race and not that we are going to win the Championship,by saying so they mean that they will give their 100% in every race during this season and as such the fans will watch hopeful but not with high hopes as in 2022 Ferrari took the pressure to themselves by winning the first couple of races and as such claiming they are going to win the 2022 season which in the end did not end well for Ferrari and their fans. As for the engineers and other technical staff I assume they have learned a lot from the errors of 2022 so most likely they won't be screwing up with their race strategy anymore. |

Place bets on the BTC and ETH price betting. Although I am gonna one of the bets but eventually it's gonna be an overall loss. If only I had not bet on ETH this time then I would have been in profit. No worries though. BTC price betting  ETH price betting  Betting on Ethereum is never a wise idea since they moved to PoS last September.Since then the activities and the price of Ethereum has not been a lot and most of the time this coin looks stable without much investors support anymore,at least not from guys like us who love the PoW coins much more.For Bitcoin which will never go PoS and this is as sure as death is for everyone of us,we can bet on the price as a lot of market factors can influence its price with lately being the rate hikes of different central banks or when a big huge firm start some involvement with it,while for Ethereum since going PoS I highly doubt one great firm will be investing in it. |

Like all the others I'll also advise you to ask for support about your issue because so far none of the members have experienced what you've experienced, update us so we'll also know if they will send the fund back or if you will have to wait for the self-exclusion to expire, I hope you did not self exclude yourself for a year.
This is a good topic it seldom happens but it really happens and this will become a reference for those who deposited then forgot they self-excluded themselves.
My account was self excluded for a year, 48 weeks left. Support told me that I have to wait for 48 weeks to be able to withdraw my funds. I guess I will wait  That is the only thing that you can do.I think that who knows after 48 weeks what price will that Ethereum have.Just consider it as a bank investment or some sort of that kind of thing and maybe you will be pleasantly surprised when the self-exclusion time will expire,right now I see they are near 5000 dollars,no one knows but that 5000 can as well be as near 20000 dollars when the expiration date comes,so just forget about it in a good way,just write it down somewhere that you have 3.06 Ethereum waiting for you in the end of this year and keep that in a note on your phone so you don't forget  . |

Can shiba inu ever get to $1 in the next bull run or more years to come??, though nothing is impossible, but i don't think it can get there,
And is the project still good to invest in?
I doubt it can,but guess what for people who have invested a lot of money even it going to just 0.01 dollars will make them a huge return of their investment and most likely a lot of money,0.01 dollars is not difficult but also 0.05 or 0.10 dollars as maximum is not that hard either if the next bull run brings Bitcoin to well over 100.000 dollars. For example I own 15 million of such coin and if it goes to 0.01 dollars I make like 150.000 dollars,sound great but I don't know if this coin will achieve this for real although I believe chances are high it does depending on how well the next bull run increases the prices of the altcoins. |

Psg got a really surprising result. I honestly thought they would win this game by a big margin. Their draw has been one of the most surprising results in recent weeks. Despite being in a bad position in the league, Reims caused Psg to lose two points. Psg is lucky as it's been an unlucky week for Lens. Their leadership in the league is currently in jeopardy. Now they have to win every game.
I can't believe the result. Folarin Balogun made an outstanding save when the match was only 40 seconds left. The result is definitely bad luck for PSG. Lens also suffered a draw and neither did Marseille. It seems that the current top position do not make any change at all in this week. PSG needs to work harder. It seems that players have lost all of their spirit after the World cup. I can't say who was the luckiest this week. Because there is no change in the position of the standings as well as the distance between their points. If I say Paris Saint Germain is lucky because Lens can't win this week, and Lens is the same, they are lucky because Paris Saint Germain was thwarted by Reims, which in strength they should have been able to win. Likewise with Marseille and Monaco which have the same position that has not changed at all. Paris Saint Germain looks unstable now, no matter how good the players they have, but when bad luck comes to them, The Parisian can't do anything. First of all, I think the red card of Marco Verratti could easily have been avoided. Secondly, I think that there are a lot of problems in the defense of PSG. There certainly need to do better in terms of defense. There is always one player open for a through ball. And if it was not for Gianluigi Donnarumma, PSG could have actually lost this match. We all saw how busy the PSG goalkeeper was in this match. But in the end, it was a big mistake made by PSG at the end of the match which cost them two points. And it is true, they do look unstable now. They missed a golden opportunity to run away from their closest followers.This also shows that the pressure is all building up on them during such time and their consistency has been lost,in fact they have a lot of draws and a lost game against Lens recently which says a lot about them lately.If this was not enough,the pressure is even bigger for the upcoming encounter in the Champions League,they have Champions League as their primary objective and a lot of fans are waiting a lot from them here,if they miss to go forward in the Champions League then the pressure in the Ligue 1 will even go up further. |

You made me go back and watch Terminator 2,that old movie which for me never gets old.It looks like they are ahead of their time with robots being programmed to take over the future and some leader of it,some kind of crazy fantasy there and the question you are asking is a lot like that movie,crazy fantasy.I think that in even 2 centuries from now that would be pretty impossible to achieve just like Terminator 2 a movie of 1991 which so far we have not seen such things becoming true.Even if it comes true what benefits will this bring to humanity?I personally see more flaws than benefits in such scenario.

Despite Dortmund's defeating Leverkusen by 2-0 away I believe Leverkusen still seemed strong. Because Leverkusen have been on the rise thanks to Xabi Alonso. They had a great win streak and this affected their performance positively against Dortmund as well. Leverkusen also could have scored multiple goals here. Diaby was the closest player to score a couple of times but Kobel was really impressive with his saves. Kobel's contribution in this win also can't be underestimated.
I still expect Leverkusen to go on their way determinedly. Only one loss shouldn't upset them too much.
In general, Leverkusen actually played well in this match, it's just that they couldn't score a goal. On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund, who had few chances, were able to take the chances they got into a goal, even though one of them was recorded as an own goal. Leverkusen managed to release 21 attempts but only a few that led to the goal, and it's true that Kobel played well in this match. It's a shame that the winning streak that Leverkusen created had to end in this match. they have bounced back from their slump at the start of the season, and they are so much more now, that is an achievement for them. Honestly, I know they have played well. I see a lot of people saying that Leverkusen played well. But the thing is it does not matter if we do agree or not that the losing-team had played well or not. At the end of the day, the score is what going to matter. So if they are not the team that is on the right side of the scoreboard, they might have played well but they did not play well enough in my opinion. And certainly, I will also say that Dortmund did win the match. But I also believe that they did not play as well as they should have. But that doesn't matter, does it? Dortmund won the match and that is what matters. It is interesting to see such a competitive Bundesliga after so many years of Bayern dominating it completely,now I see there are at least 3-4 other teams that are fighting for the title this season and this is great to see.I think that Dortmund may have as well been on top of the standings if they didn't lose 2 consecutive games in the Bundesliga not long ago.Nevertheless the fact that they got the three points against Leverkussen is a great achievement despite them playing well or not that well,important is to just be 3 points behind the leaders and with so many errors and not being consistent for all the teams fighting for the title even Dortmund has real chances to win the title. |

But if we see from coach sides i think Manchester United is more good because they have Ten Hag which is more experience on european competitions than Xavi and i know Manchester United has poor records from Barcelona before and this could be good challenge for Ten Hag that can he improved these records or Manchester United still cannot beat Barcelona so very interesting to see the results of this match
You guys keep talking about experience and all but you keep forgetting current form. As hard as it is for people to accept, Barcelona under Xavi is better than United under Ten Hag. Barcelona have managed to win all the top teams in La liga. They may be winning by small margins recently but they're are a very technical side. Xavi as well as Ten Hag is a tactical coach. He knows how to read games and make during-game tactics. If injuries don't happen to Barcelona like it happened before their UCL ties I think they win Manchester United. Barcelona is on top form,they are leading comfortably the La Liga now after Real Madrid did not win yesterday night but what is important for the Europa League is the form of Barcelona which they have so far in La Liga conceded only 6 goals which is a really small amount of goals conceded.It shows a super solid defense by Barcelona and on the other hand Manchester United is not in that really good form recently and now that the encounter is coming Barcelona is clearly the most favored side by the bookies and everyone else.I don't exclude a Manchester United win though as English teams are well known for that,to surprise everyone. |

It's been a long time that I knew about cloud storage and decentralised storage networks but I have never for once thing that this use case will survive in crypto space because I don't see any reason for adoption. Now I guess I am wrong ..
File coin and Arweave are good example but I have a question in mind, anyone on here using this platforms for storing files? I'm still shocked they survive and doing fine.
Well they are not doing anything revolutionary but they are doing something. I am pretty sure those will get wiped some day but until then they will move with the markets. They have their followers and believers hyping them for free and since Filecoin raised almost $200 million in their ico they can just keep running this Circus As A Service operation no matter if it's needed or not. If they keep building their jobs will be safe and who wouldn't want to keep that up. But maybe i am wrong. Maybe they have a killer app coming and i haven't paid attention but i wouldn't hold my breath. Filecoin is a relatively new project but I don't think they will be with us long if they don't offer us such services that would be better than other traditional cloud providers don't.If they want to fight with the big guys it is a lost war without even starting but if they have some genius idea or killer app which I find this to be highly unlikely as their roadmap does not point to such revolution then most likely this is another Burst or Chia coin,sure they have something better to offer but in the end in a world where such service already exist it won't be with us long enough but that is just my opinion. |

Right now there are a lot of surprises going on in this Italian league. Nothing is actually certain in this league. And I think we can get the idea of that because only a few days ago we saw Juventus being in the second position of the table. Now they are somewhere near 10. That's how quickly things are changing in this league.
Honestly, I know that the first position of the table is being dominated by Napoli right now. I know they are ahead by a lot of points. But I am still not sure that they will actually be able to win this series A title eventually.
However things change i hope it doesn't change for Napoli. I was really happy for their win against Roma yesterday, it was a difficult one. Now Napoli is 13 points clear of Inter who are second with 18 games to play. I don't think they would fumble the league again this time around but this is football, you never know. The fight now will be for the next 3 spot. There's only a 3 point difference between Inter who are second and Roma who are sixth. Lazio, Atalanta and Milan are all on 38 points. The competition in the Serie A have always been interesting and this season wont disappoint. I really don't care about how all the rest turns out, I just want Napoli to win the league. I agree, Napoli basically guaranteed their championship at this point, they are nowhere near the other teams and they are going to win the title. Now, they have one more thing that they need to take care of, the last 3 champions of the league ended up not being champions again, this will be fourth year where we have a new champion, first it was the last title of Juventus, then it was Inter, then it was Milan now it's Napoli. It means that holding onto the title is harder than winning it. I believe that if they could somehow keep the core squad in tact, or at least buy players that would be equally good for them to win a second title in a row, that would be awesome. This year is guaranteed, they need to look for what to do for next year. They are winning against every single team,be it a strong one or an average one,their only lost is against Inter and that was accidental I must say as that was one of the rare few games that Napoli didn't score a single goal.I think they have a big luxury in the sense that they can opt to sacrifice a game or two in order to be more focused on the Champions League as now in Champions League we are going to start the elimination phase just a couple of weeks away. Every other team has not the consistency of Napoli to be a threat to them in their Serie A title challenge and most likely they will win or to say it better most likely they are already Champions of Serie A this year. |

Very interesting reading people’s thoughts about slot machines and how to try and beat the system. I’m sure there must be some merit to things being discussed but if it were possible to beat the house I think it would be more well known. The truth is that slots are controlled by the house and they can all be set at different payout levels. In the end though, the simple truth is that the house always wins.
The house wins in the long term. That's the key thing here, having the illusion that the gambler can win because from time to time the gambler does win, but the whole system is designed to keep people playing as much as possible. In the long term the odds are against the gambler, so if they keep playing, they will inevitably lose. But, if you happen to win big once, and quit gambling after that one rare event, then the gambler would have won. This rarely happen though, because the odds are against the gambler, and once they win, they want to continue gambling, until they lose it all. That is the sad part.Even when a gambler wins really big amounts they think to themselves finally I beat the game and they quit,take the money and call it a day.The gambler stays happy for a day or two but soon after he starts to feel that need and urge to gamble again in order for him to repeat that moment of glory where he won that huge amount,it is exactly this moment that is the worse for a gambler as when they try to repeat it they do it several times but without being able to and as such loses are catastrophic in the long term.Unfortunately as of today there is no real remedy to this. |

In the last meeting between these two clubs, Crsytal Palace escaped being beaten by Manchester United. This time around they may not escape it. Even though Crystal Palace will put up a good fight as usual. But Manchester United will be more resilient and formidable in the midfield against Palace.
But in England nothing is too sure, however the Erik Ten Hag guys are on a good form.
In the next match, when Crystal Palace meets Manchester United again in February, I'm sure it will be a very exciting match because both of them will definitely play with all their might to win, Manchester United currently has strengths that are not easy to beat by Crystal Palace. Crystal palace has been getting very bad results. Crystal palace really looks very bad. I firmly believe that Crystal Palace will lose by a big score. MU might have some bad results because they have met several big clubs but I will be very sure that MU will again get full points against crystal palace. Crystal palace is at its lowest point. With a series of bad results from five matches, I really believe that Crystal Palace will not be able to compete with MU in the EPL follow-up match. I fully believe in MU. The possible result will be MU as a winner or draw. Manchester United did not score more than one goal against Crystal Palace and they were even equalized near the end of the game and as such they were not able to win the game.Based on this recent history I think that Manchester United will still have difficulties against Crystal Palace despite Crystal Palace really bad recent form.I think that we can see a draw here or even a lost game from Manchester United if they do not pressure a lot even after scoring a goal as that was the error of this last game between the teams,Manchester United thought that they had everything under control which simply was not the case.As always for me the best bet in this game should be both teams to score. |

if you use the martingale technique make sure you have enough money, No none has enough money. For being successful with martingale strategy, you need unlimited balance. So, no matter how much money you have. Whatever amount of money you have, you will finally lose all that if you use martingale strategy. You will lose it by playing online as in real life I don't think that if you play roulette 100 times on red to fall 100 times on black,this is not probable but in online they make it possible as there is software controlled game that do it.On the other hand even if you have a huge balance in real life the physical casinos have put in place the max amount you can bet which act as a betting limit and over time you will lose too.Martingale works only in an ideal world where no betting limits are into place and we have unlimited balance,something that does not exist in our world. |

so uhhhh, when are they switching to ethash? was it all a marketing stunt to present the crypto as the next ethereum?
I don't know about that but even when they switch as I said it is not going to give them the success they imagine and this simply because no good things have ever come out from China,they were the responsible for making Bitcoin crash from the all time high in May 2021 as they did an entire crypto ban in whole of their country,this never stopped Bitcoin and crypto though and we are still going strong.So even if they change to Ethereum it won't bring them any good or any projected rise in price,this coin came out with all the hype in the beginning and so far it has only remained as hype,and as long as is related to China in some way or another most likely it will not have the success we all imagined when this coin first came out. |

In the last couple of matches real madrid been playing bad , no wonder this time they held draw though as they often saved by last minutes goal and now none of real madrid players can save the club to get the 3 points , real madrid always having a late heat to score in early minutes .
Don't know what's the problem in them , but this result are indeed making barcelona comfortable leading the laliga title race.
I see the possibility of Barcelona becoming champions in La Liga very high. But Real Madrid has potential. But Real Madrid need to improve from the way they are currently performing. And we all know Real Madrid are capable of a comeback. This result is clearly detrimental to Real Madrid, losing two points at the Santiago Bernabeu makes Real Madrid five points behind Barcelona in the competition for this season's championship. Barcelona greatly benefited from the results that Real Madrid just achieved, Xavi team are increasingly comfortable at the top of the standings after being five points clear of their rivals. Ancelotti must immediately improve in the next match, Real Madrid attack line must be improved to add attack power so that they have no trouble finding goals, Real Madrid must guard against opportunities so as not to lose points which makes them even more left behind by Barcelona. It was not missing the attack line in yesterday night game as I watched the game,Real Madrid attackers played good football and created really a lot of chances,the only problem was luck was not on their side in that game as the Real Sociedad goalkeeper was in the best day of his life I think having clearly saved at least 7 goal occasions from Real Madrid attack. No matter how much they improve the next game it won't benefit them that much because Barcelona has only conceded 6 goals in this season during all these games and that is the best clear indicator that they are most likely to win the La Liga this season. |

as we know, many people suggest investing in bitcoin because the risk is not too high.
but if we look at the market there are lots of people buying altcoins, and to be honest I also like to buy altcoins but there aren't many of them, and it's still my biggest investment in bitcoin. and to be honest even though investing in altcoins is risky but I always want to buy and the reason is because of the high pumping..
and I want to ask everyone what is your for buying altcoins, is the reason the same as mine?
Altcoins are much more volatile and more susceptible to growth. Bitcoin is unlikely to make x100 profit in the next 10-20 years, while altcoins are capable of showing such results in just a few months or even weeks. The prospect of big earnings lures most investors into the altcoin sphere. Bitcoin is a blue chip, it is reliable as an investment, but it has already grown too much to attract young investors with a small amount. Even me that I am an old Bitcoin hodler I think that it has potential in for a longer term like 5-7 years max in my opinion while other coins,especially new ones like EthereumPoW,EthereumFair,Zilliqa,Raptoreum and a couple of others have a much better potential to grow in price in a lower time-frame than 5-7 years which is a lot.That is why a lot of people are attracted to altcoins as they think to make a huge amount of money with very little one,this happens very rarely and as the best example I want to point out that guy that bought a lot of Shiba INU in August 2020 and when in 2021 this coin reach a much better price he won an insane amount of money,of course people like him can be counted with just the fingers of one hand. |

I really hope that Real Madrid will win this match to decrease the point difference with Barcelona.
Real madrid have to win this match, Barcelona already beat Girona 1-0 yesterday and went 6 points above Real madrid, if Real madrid draw, Barcelona will be ahead with 5 points, if they lose Barcelona will be ahead by 6 points, so Real madrid must win if not the title will be slowly moving to Barcelona. I don't understand why Real Madrid is having a difficult time finding the back of the net in this match. Like , am watching the game and from the chances they've created right there in the box, they ought to have been able to score a goal or two. Real Sociedad could surprise them in this game if Real Madrid aren't taking advantage of the chances they have created. They need some accurate passes within the box between K. Benzema, Vini Jnr and Rodrygo. Real Sociedad are coming really close and the Real Madrid defence isn't doing much to absorb there pressure. Its been goalkeeper saves all along. They have completely dominated the game by created ton of chances as I am watching the game also,the fact is that the only problem they have is getting past the goalkeeper which so far has made at least 7 brilliant saves.This is one of these days where luck is a needed factor in order to change the outcome of a game despite Real Madrid clearly being the superior team from the two teams playing but yet we are in the 85th minute of the game and the result is still 0-0. It would be a really bad blow for Real Madrid if they don't manage to win this as they will go 5 points difference to Barcelona and Barcelona is so far the best team of the league and as such further shading away the hopes of Real Madrid to become Champions of La Liga. |
