Juventus defeated Torino 4-2 in a tough match. I can say that the match was very competitive. Although Torino played more dominant in the first half, they conceded a goal after the goal and could not maintain their superiority. The first half ended 2-2 and in the second half Juventus increased the pressure and scored. In the end, they won 4-2 and I think they got an important 3 points for themselves. It should be noted that they recovered well despite 15 points being deducted from them. They reduced the point difference with 6th placed Atalanta to 6.
Fourth consecutive win for the Juventus even Torino was superior in this game and have good control as well, but sadly they were not able to handle pressure from spirited Juventus which is playing amazing after deducting of 15 points now with this win they are at 7th spot and have six points difference from struggling Atlanta which is having three defeats from their last four games and with this result most chances they can drop from their current spot because Juventus current aggression can bring them to sixth or fifth spot until end of this season even if they are able to stay on this level they can give tough challenge to Lazio which is currently at fourth and now in next week they are going to visit leaders Napoli which can cut this difference as well.

Villareal is really just getting lucky at this point if you ask me, and I can't believe that such team would be doing this badly. I mean we have seen this team try to fight their way into UCL just recently, not too long ago, and this season and now they are 7th in the league for some reason, you would expect them to at least fight for UCL spot this season wouldn't you?

Sure they finally got a win, but that doesn't change the fact that they have been losing for a long time now, that losing streak really disrupted their whole season and they really need to get a winning streak starting in order to get back to where they were in order to be happier.
I agreed about Villarreal how things gone into wrong way for them, it's surely the biggest concern for them because few weeks back they were favorite for the UEFA Champions League spot, and now they are struggling in the middle which is big drop and with current form most chances they have no chance for the top four even few teams are also having bad results, but things are not easy for them to have any chance with most chances they can go into UEFA Europa cup which is possible in last match against Getafe they have done better performance but still need more improvement if they want to stay in better spot with now their next challenge is against Almeria which already beats Barcelona and can give them challenging competition for any positive result.

It would be impossible for us to know what really happened, but from the looks of things, he's not dead and may either lost he's private keys or intentionally keeping the asset for a purpose. I ones had the intension to keep a certain amount of cryptocurrency for my unborn children and that may be what he's intension is like. We all have different levels of discipline and some persons could be very discipline in keeping their asset for a very long time, to serve the purpose for which its kept.
I think the guy is still alive and he did not lose his private keys because when I look at his tokens list, he still have those recent tokens. I think he himself buy those tokens from the exchange and then send it in this/his wallet. If he start investing in 2015 then I don't think he will be careless when it comes to handling his wallet or private keys because from that year, cryptos are already making their names, especially ETH. The guy is only hodling strong.

You know whales, they can HODL even for a long year, only to see the real potential of the assets that they HODL. They only bought the coins at a not so expensive price and they only invest what they can afford to lose so, there will be no regrets for them in case things didn't run well in the future.

That maybe the case but not every player works the same way no matter what club he is playing for and the competition has now become quite fierce. Also, if the whole team isn't functioning very well Aubameyang alone can't solve it. That is another issue. You need guys around you that work like a team. Aubameyang is dependent on that and he only looks as if he was out of shape when nobody actually provides him with assists or knows how to allow him to enfold his strengths (in his case speed).
I would guess that "not being a bad player" is not a good argument neither, if he was good enough he would have played, and if he didn't then it means he wasn't good enough and at the end of the day we are talking about a player that will not be on form neither, he will be a bit of a problem for them to get back in shape as well. Why not get a player that would be perfectly fit for the team?

There are so many players you could get under 20 million euro, and they are all younger and they are all in more shape, it makes much more sense. This isn't even about if Aubameyang would be good for Inter or not, it's about how they could find a better option, so why would they pick the worse option?
645  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Does anyone know anything about YoBit? The exchange? on: February 28, 2023, 09:15:33 AM
In the past I've used this exchange for my trading needs. Most of the tokens gets listed in this exchange. To trade those tokens Yobit and Livecoin served to be the better choice. Slowly it had been marked with several problems and Livecoin stopped its service. It is the only exchange that have inbuilt Dice game. I've used Yobit in the past for playing Dice.
All of us used this before even for a few times only because they are one of the top exchange in the past and their reputation that time is still clean and free from negative feedbacks. It's only sad that they turned bad in the long run. What once a good exchange that only list good coins are now listing shitcoins only and scam coins.

Oh well, I think they don't want to waste their domain but they still find ways only to earn something even a not-so-good way. Other than the former yobit who are now called as yoshit, livecoin was also another famous exchange back in time but I got a bad experience with it. My coins where stuck on the exchange and the support didn't attended my concern. What a pity.

Holding cash has its own benefits. First of all, cash is a position. It provides you an opportunity to buy cheap assets and there are always cheap assets around. On addition, crypto isn't as adopted as we would like to believe. The world still runs on FIAT and even though it is centralized, it is way faster and easier to spend. Most people will just prefer to swipe their credit card instead of dealing with crypto. This might change in the future but it is the way it is for now.
Position? Hmm, not sure what does it means but I agree that holding cash is ensuring the convenient. It was like we are saving so that we can have something to use for laters. One good use would be for investing. Lots of assets are expensive but good thing cryptos are invented because cryptos are divisible which means we can be able to invest on them even at tiny amounts.

Cryptos are not a new thing anymore and the adaption for them is actually wide as one can imagine but the majority of the countries are of course still using a fiat as their main currency. Both fiats and cryptos has their own advantage. For those who know how to use both fiat and crypto they can say that cryptos are also fast and easy to use.

A wonderful 2nd innings by Newzealand they scored 483 runs which is really good as they failed terribly in 1st innings.  Kane Williamson 132 runs Tom Blundell 90 runs were really worth mentioning in today's game.
Now England have a trail of 210 runs and they have last day with 9 wickets in hand . This match got interesting now see who'll win this test tomorrow.
Basin Reserve is a batting track with mostly New Zealand won their matches against weaker sides, but mostly they lost against quality teams with this I have feeling now this is going to be in favor of England even we can't predict about fifth day play because many times small targets can also be gone in wrong way but with the current batting quality and match situation is clearly favoring England to win this match and series by 2 - 0 now they still need 210 runs with 9 wickets in hands and their all premier batsmen still available for the batting against quality New Zealand bowling attack, but this is going to be interesting end of this match and series Williamson Latham and Tom Blundell all have good practice before Sri Lanka test matches which are not going to play in next few days.
648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 27, 2023, 10:12:10 AM
Yes, Manchester United is back to winning ways as they’ve lifted the three handled cup. This is Manchester United first cup win in about 6 years. Manchester United has been playing so well recently and totally deserve this win. Having been playing poorly and gone on without winning any cup for some years, the Red Devils are back.
It's good for them to win a first title after many years since the Europa League cup with Mourinho. FA Cup is a smaller title than Europa League but it is a good start for Ten Hag era and it looks like he has improved Manchester United a lot in his first season in Premier League. It's impressive as he is able to adapt too well with a new league.

Lifting a trophy is great and it can increase their players' sentiment and confidence a lot in future. Now they have feeling of being a champion.
I think the fact that they are in Europa right now means that they can't get UCL until next season, and they won't be able to get that with this roster neither, even though they are playing pretty well, let's realize that EFL is basically a lower level team thing and they played against not so amazing teams during the last few matchups, teams do not care about that at the moment.

However, if we look at the current situation, we could say that it's clear United is playing better than they did at the start of the season and even better than last year as well. They just need to keep grinding this way, and keep playing as good as they possibly could, not going to win the title, but 2-3rd positions are open.

Wow! I didn't watch the Kings vs Clippers game, second highest scoring game in NBA history, definitely worths watching it full and not just some highlights. I got bored a bit at the start because the start wasn't as entertaining and knowing the result in the end definitely takes away from it a bit as well but people who watched it live must be very happy, definitely worths the money.

Also, by the end Clippers couldn't find a shot and that always comes down to the coach, if the coach draws a good one, then they will end up getting a good shot, look at the history of Spurs and you will see how amazing Pop could draw plays, or Kerr, or any of the other great Head Coaches.
650  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 🐞 Dogecoin Will hit $1? on: February 26, 2023, 07:10:40 PM
I can't find any reason why Doge will reach $1 when bitcoin gains price of $100K.
This is an altcoin whose price was built by the hype of Elon Musk so that the price will be dumped after several groups have made huge profits. If $1 for Doge was possible then I don't think people would be selling it at the current $0.08 - $0.09 on 21M coin.

Even after hit $0.73 in May 2021, Doge has only dumped almost 90% so far.
the rise in doge price way back was mainly owed to elon musk. now, if we haven't see any progress in terms of doge development, i don't think it can significantly rise up again. people are learning that the hype is just a short-lived promotion. after it dies down, the price goes down tremendously.
hype plus tangible developments can aid its increase in price. but without results, it won't sustain its market price.
Its price rise before but it was only due to manipulation and not because there is any development done by its devs. This is something that is not possible for the coin because at the first place, it was only created as a meme coin. We don't know what is running in the mind of Elon but if ever he decides to shill the coin again and then use doge on his Twitter and other business then maybe we can see this coin increase again.

I find it funny on why the OP uses a bug emoji when we all know that doge coin has a dog logo. Maybe he is only expecting for a bug to make his calls happened seems it's kind impossible for now especially that 10 dollar per doge.

Congratulations for your good luck.
I hope that money helps you to do more profitable investments in the future.
This may be the biggest win I have seen someone to share here since I joined the forum.

...And I feel lucky when get 10$ at dices.  Roll Eyes
I doubt he will use it for investments. That takes time to earn a profit but if he can just do what he currently does, money is going to flow easily. We shouldn't worry because he has a long year of experience already on this business. Maybe you don't hang out often in this board and that is why you missed a lot of happenings pertaining to gambling but no doubt, the OP's win is one of the biggest.

There are still lots of big winners but they prefer to be more confidential about it to protect their selves. We can still be able to see their bets and winning amounts if we check the high rollers tab in each gambling site that we visit. We as a small gambler, we shouldn't compare ourselves to those whales. Our winning will still look large for us and we are happy about it.
652  Economy / Economics / Re: Are people really having the wrong concept of savings? on: February 25, 2023, 09:02:23 PM
We save for different reasons, for the education of our kids, in times we already have health issues (since we're not forever healthy) or for retirement. In short we're saving to be prepared for the future but it doesn't mean you can't spend it at the current time, because we have different reasoning if we opted to save for long term or to use if there's an emergency.

But as long as it serves its purpose on why we save in the first place, then you don't have to question if you follow the concept of saving. What matter is you have something to rely on during rainy days.
I agree, the main reason why people should spend must be for things that are life or death situations. I have spent my coins on medical bills too many times in my life to know this is to be true, an unfortunate thing, but unfortunately my family is not an healthy one, too many people get sick all the time, it is genetics I suppose, both my and my wives family keep getting sick and that is mainly due to not being rich enough, when you are not rich enough you do not care for your health and go to doctors when you are young, which causes troubles when you are older so we have to deal with it but bitcoin helped me a lot.

Sure you can spoil yourself here and there too, I aim at buying PS5 one day, totally useless way of spending money, but I might do it to finally be happy, I deserve to be happy once in a while and spoil myself.
653  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 25, 2023, 08:26:42 PM
Leipzig played very well in the first half against Eintracht Frankfurt and they proved themselves just starting the game started and I can say they nearly finished everything for Eintracht Frankfurt in the first half. Just after the game started Timo Werner scored the first goal and Frankfurt socked while they could recover themself in the second half but still, Leipzig used the changes they had very well.
First half clearly having good difference between two teams and Leipzig hold their grip with good performance and good thing they were not sloppy in second half as well which give them three points even still their position for the top four is not easy but if they keep this momentum then surely they can do good until end of this season with Freiburg and Frankfurt both are also trying their best for the top four spots.

Tomorrow big match is surely going to have good interest for the all teams which are fighting hard for top four spots because in case Bayern Munich lost then this is going to be realistically good three ways fight for the title and in case of lost Union Berlin most chances they will fight hard for the top four spots with Leipzig and Freiburg which are also giving their best in last few matches.
654  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 25, 2023, 05:30:19 PM
In the previous match between Namibia and UAE, it was UAE to win the match by a wicket. In that match the target is just 91 runs and to reach the score UAE lost 9 wickets. This time Namibia have played better and won the match. It was Michael van Lingen who contributed almost half the target scoring 71 runs. If his wicket have lost earlier, the match could've been same as the previous match going closer.
Lack of matches and consistency is the issue for these teams because they have no enough practice so losing their form is surely problem with this all but still good competition is going on between bat and bowl while this was last match before TRI nation series between the UAE, Nepal and PNG with just UAE is having no native player and all others are mostly playing with their native players which is good for them even they are not having results which needs to be achieved but still good in both matches Namibian team having problems in batting which needs good time for fixing because things are not easy for these associate teams but in this second ODI Michael Van Lingen done good job and stay at crease for his team and success in this match.
655  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 5 Ways to Make Big Money at the Casino — Without Gambling on: February 24, 2023, 09:14:10 PM
It is okay to fall in love with the owner's daughter. But the idea of kidnapping the owner's daughter should be discarded.

This is ridiculous and no sane person would think of such a thing. But yes the incident that the OP shared is completely logical. If you own a casino, any kind of risk can come to your family. Therefore, most casino owners have personal security guards to deal with these risks.

So before deciding whether to propose to the casino owner's daughter, he should take care of his own life... lol
Nothing seemed okay to me as all 5 ideas were presented here only for humor purposes and not the practical one. Usually all the headlines which are including the words "make big money" or similar are sort of attracting to me.  But, here I am little disappointed due to these 5 ideas. I guess that with gambling, we cannot make money without playing there.

Perhaps, if we run a casino then we might get opportunities to make big money without gambling but owning and running a casino is not a childplay. So, practically gambling is still for me only for entertainment purposes.
656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 24, 2023, 08:35:14 PM
Barcelona must be going out of europa league again and again. I don't even know whether xavi was feeling tired or not to be kicked out again from europa league.
Man United being able to beat Barcelona in the second leg didn't surprise me because their ability to beat Barca was already visible in the first leg where they were able to hold Barca so the first leg more suprised, moreover Barca doesn't have a good history in this tournament, it's a little different from the UCL, it's just that Barça has been doing poorly in European competition in recent seasons, and again they get a bad end result.
United definitely came to play, and to see them make a comeback was even sweeter, it shows that they are actually a good team. Only great teams could end up losing on early minutes and then have a great comeback, because they have the trust in their talents and work hard to make it happen. They are now one of the biggest candidates to win, of course there are few other teams like Arsenal and Juventus, but United is definitely up there.

I would even go as further as saying United doesn't have a title chance, so they may want to win this, whereas Juventus is already gone and doing terribly and Arsenal needs to fight for the title so may not care. So United definitely has a great chance.
657  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Time to buy or sell? on: February 24, 2023, 05:31:44 PM
Buying is actually a good move though we really have to go through different levels of emotions and deeper patience to wait since we have no idea when the bullish season would start. Just buy, hold patiently, and wait until Bitcoin reaches its best price. I don't think waiting for the dip before buying will be a good move because we got no idea when another dip would happen. Just grab the chance to buy now which is also a good start to hold.
I do not think that you should, I mean you could, but you shouldn't. I know that buying could give you all sorts of feelings when you are waiting and that is understandable but you shouldn't really do that at all, you should be avoiding it as much as you possibly could in order to make sure that you can wait as long as you can.

I am not saying that it is going to work better for you, it may or may not work better but at the end of the day it is going to end up being an issue if you keep trading based on your emotions. I suggest just ignoring them and stop feeling or even stop checking the price, buy and completely ignore it and you should be doing better in the long run.
658  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Bitcoin or Altcoin hold, sell or trade?? on: February 24, 2023, 04:54:18 PM
If you want to trade altcoins, then you need to choose a few tokens that are more interesting to you, follow them, analyze how often they have pumps and how significant they are. After that, when you make sure that there is good activity in the altcoin, you can start trading. But it is worth trading only for some part of your deposit, you need to remember the risks.
Well, we can say that choosing potential coins for trade or to invest in the long-term is a big factor but it never works without a proper strategy. It is needed need to spend the market and analyzed the trend because we can't just buy, hold and sell but also we have to do more research and chart review for this will give us some ideas if this is the right time to buy this coin or not. We can't just assume anything in the market and that is why we should not to rush investing but must undergo some TA.
And I would like to talk more about this by saying that finding a right strategy is not the same for everyone. What works for me may not work for you and what works for you may not work for someone else. Which is why everyone should find their own strategy and that way they could make more money from that as well.

It would make more sense in a way that it would be perfectly suited and personalized for you because you customized it to your preference. This would make it a lot better if we could just make money based on our own needs and preferences then when the time comes to be patient or act, we would be more inclined to do so and not be unsure of what we are doing.
659  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 24, 2023, 03:01:49 PM
How common do you think this kind of fraud is on European countries, for example?
I would personally never think that this could be possible in Germany or the United Kingdom, however, I am not from there.

Sometimes we underestimate the reach of these problems around the world and the power of criminal organizations.  So people believe they are safe betting in the Bundeslisga, but perhaps they are not.  Huh
I was lucky to find an exact answer to your question. It is said that there are so many match-fixers in Europe and that's because there are so many lower leagues there but maybe it can also happen to other countries who have a huge number of lower leagues.

We never underestimate these kinds of problem because we know how serious it is as it can damage the reputation of the sport, club, league, and country. This is also annoying if you are too confident about the bets that you placed in a sports betting site but then you lose it because of a fixed match but even without these types of frauds, losing can still be inevitable sometimes because we are simply unlucky.
660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: February 23, 2023, 09:28:19 PM
It has been mentioned even in some reliable media if kante is very very close to extend his contract with chelsea. Im so glad that chelsea was not letting him to go out from the club caused by he was a very important asset for chelsea. Kante's contribution is a lot for the club since he was coming to the chelsea. Kante has been winning so many trophies with chelsea too.

Chelsea streamlined their work a lot in this transfer window, as he did not have an interesting level in their "cast" and the injuries of some important players were also a concern.

Fortunately, Kanté is returning to training after the serious injury he suffered and even with his contract ending in June, it's practically certain (as far as I've read too) that he will renew it.
The player, in fact, has the possibility of signing a pre-contract with any club in the world, being able to leave for free at the end of his contract with Chelsea, but it seems to me that this is not what he wants.

I feared that the strong rumors about Chelsea not being interested in renewing Kanté, due to the fact that there had been some disagreements in the negotiations, such as mainly the time of the new contract, in which they did not want a very long contract, due to the injuries that the midfielder had over those years.

But apparently everything is resolved and good news should be officially announced soon.
Kante staying at Chelsea would be a good deal for them. Even if they do not really want him, if they could sign him and then sell him, that would be better than getting rid of him for free. Not saying they will sell him, of course they may not end up doing that, but they could, having that possibility is a lot better. Plus, if he is not injured and he plays then he could provide so much for the team.

We have seen how they have been without him so far, and they are playing quite terribly at this moment. Even great players in the club end up playing terribly for some reason, and I am guessing that adding Kante, who grinds a lot and doesn't play badly that often, could help them a lot.
