701  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: how many times have you intended to stop gambling on: February 09, 2023, 11:38:21 AM
Countless times but most of those instances were when I was losing big time. And if I remember it correctly those were my younger years in this industry wherein I used to be a high roller. I was losing big time which always gave me the idea to quit dince there's a tendency for me to end up with debt if I won't make a change. Fortunately, I came across with sports gambling which somehow changed my vision in this industry. I enjoyed my experience more since I am into sports in the first place therefore making me not only into profit but also for entertainment. From that I've learned to set limits with the amount I would be spending in this industry, up until this point.
This was the most painful time to stop gambling and that is when we are losing big time. It's like accepting our defeat. Accepting the fact that we can not recover our past losses but the feeling is great if one will stop gambling after winning big time. When I mean stop is when they don't play gambling anymore not even once because there is a tendency that they will become an addict because they already win big before. It was still great if you change before it's too late.

I can feel that you are more happier now but who wouldn't be? When you are profiting and at the same time enjoying the game. Sports betting is truly profitable if one will dedicate time to research and analyse plus it's also less addicting because the games won't just processed instantly.

Ronaldo doesn't need more time, what he needs is more good players. We saw his performance at Manchester United and it showed that age has greatly reduced Ronaldo's performance. Al Nassr should sign more players that will serve Ronaldo with goal-scoring opportunities because he cannot create them. If the club thought that by signing Ronaldo they have solved all their problems, then they have made a terrible mistake. Ronaldo should be used for marketing and publicity, while the Al Nassr management put the necessary things such as quality players and coaches in place.
Yes I totally agree with you. Ronaldo needs one or two players like Mbappe or Neymar and Messi. But I'd say age hasn't stopped Ronaldo yet. Having a partner or two to support him on the pitch will certainly improve Ronaldo's performance. We think his performance is currently poor due to his lack of support partners. Al Nasser has gained a lot of fame in the football world after bringing Ronaldo to the club. If they think that is enough, they are wrong. Al Nasser should sign players like Messi or Neymar to the club, if they can then Al Nasser will be much stronger. They can fight hard against any club and snatch victory.
Here we are missing many things related to Ronaldo and his currently club change of conditions and environment surely having big impact with now where he is playing mostly players are below average quality which we are having in UEFA so just because of this he is missing his tricks and results are not coming as mostly were expecting but as they are developing we can hope performance and quality will change but still it's not going to happen just in few weeks this needs long time and better facilities and experience as well.

But, as now Saudi and other Gulf region countries are investing and having legendary players in these leagues hopefully they will be able to have their required level because they are rich and can afford everything which they wanted to increase their own system but as we all know if they want to have quality like UEFA this will never happen in one or two seasons this need decades.

It is sad that in the cryptocurrency industry, a token user who is a deceived investor cannot bring charges against the creators of the project. Even if they are real people, and not fakes, they can always pretend that they believed in their idea, but that it failed and the token could not reach the top. Although they always assumed this when making their scam. And of course they will not return the money.
And why not? We can always do something and as they say, as long as there is a will there is always a way. Even if we can't catch them alive, we can at least give a warning to others, to the crypto exchange so that they will block access to those coins and there is still a possibility that you can recover your money.

If they are doxed and looks like they are legit, I guess the only way to avoid being scammed big later on is to not give your 100 percent confidence about them and stick only to your investment limits no matter what happens or what promising updates they are publishing. Remember there is only one coin that we can trust 100 percent and that is Bitcoin.

Small boards can't go together as many having their interests related to pig-4 specially like we know WICB and CSA never go against them as with this all others have never any worth because mostly are never been work as unit they could be stayed like this until we have any revolutionary change from inside this all mafia which is strong and doing this all and nomination of person like Barclay is mostly happened just with the help of inside politics.
This is what happens when short-term gains get a higher priority over long term benefits. Boards such as BCCI and CA doesn't intend to give special treatment to either WICB or CSA. Once they are able to achieve their motive, with respect to funding and other aspects they will refuse to co-operate with the West Indian and South African boards. Eventually the funding for weaker nations will be reduced further. The aim of the pig-4 is to make richer boards even more rich and keep the poorer boards poor. CSA and WICB allying with the pig-4 will backfire on them in the near future.
As BCCI and CSA doing things like these never work for long time even right now they are taking good advantage and having their own interests with the help of these two puppets boards, but surely they are doing like traitors for the other weaker boards, and they will also have to face consequences for the as well because right now situation in WICB is not good as they are down and out from all formats and CSA is somehow better but still they need to work for the overall cricket development instead of working for just two or three boards those can kick them any time after having their all targets.

But, here we have few sad facts no other board or unit having any strength to work for the development of the game like BCB, SLCB and PCB if they try to have unit then surely things can change and few other small boards can also follow them but here no one having mindset for this all mostly living as white elephant.

The number of investors will increase from year to year as the popularity of bitcoin grows. If you want to become an investor, you must understand how to be a good investor to benefit in the future. With the increasing price of bitcoin from now on until it can reach a new ATH later, it will make many people curious and want to try becoming an investor.

But if they don't want to learn to be a good bitcoin investor, they won't be able to get as profitable as other bitcoin investors. We can introduce bitcoin to other people, but we must not force them to invest in it because it is each person's choice. We can only introduce bitcoin to them and then it's up to them.
As Bitcoin popularity grows, the hate for it is also growing and as a result some countries will ban it. Not all wants to be an investor but those who are into it will start has a positive mindset but as a newbie investor, mistakes are still there. It's fine as long as we are willing to learn from it and stand up again as a stronger version of our selves.

Bitcoin can make a person curious and it occurs not only because of its increasing value so those who will try it will not always end up as an investor. When it comes to introducing Bitcoin, we should start at the very beginning and don't just jump in and say that Bitcoin is great for investing as some things could go wrong.
706  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto in Indian Economy? on: February 06, 2023, 09:01:35 PM
In my opinion, India is one of the countries with the strongest economy in the world. And also this country is a country that has a history of thousands of years that is full of lessons. We know that there are many inventors and scientists who came from India. And even Bill Gates himself stated that if he didn't cooperate with the Indians, then sooner or later India would come up with their own version of "Microsoft". So my point is, that compared to most countries in the world, getting Indians to learn or use crypto is not difficult, because most Indians are technology savvy. Now the concern is the Bank of India or other financial entities that do not really like the presence of cryptocurrencies in the Indian economic system. They could hinder the adoption of cryptocurrencies in a country like India.
At first I am sceptical to believe this and did another research but I found that you are right. They are strong now and they are expected to surpass Japan and Germany in the year of 2027. That was 4 years from now but I agree that India has full of history and full of lessons.

I read it before in the books, saw it on the TV and most of all in the movies. Indians are smart people and many of them are into technical stuffs (gadgets and internet) so I wouldn't be surprised if they will also venture the world of crypto because crypto has a lot of benefits which can help them improve their life and possibly to get our of poverty. As of now crypto in India is unregulated and not banned but they are only taxed big enough.
707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: February 06, 2023, 07:02:00 PM
Arsenal is the only team in the Europa league that I am very sure they can always perform very well always  and they have the chance of winning the league because they  are much consistent than every other team in the europa league.  I can't really give account of Barcelona in the europa league.
as long as arsenal hasn't played against barcelona, I don't agree with you that arsenal is the best team in european league

Juventus also still have the chance to become the favorite team to win because we have seen for ourselves how Allegri managed to build this team from its slump at the start of the Serie A season

it seems that the European league competition will be fierce and the four big teams (MU, Barcelona, Arsenal and Juventus) have an almost even chance of being able to win the uel this season
I don't think we have only these four teams those can win this year's title we have few more teams which are performing good and can steal this show because UEFA is never been favourites game many times we have out siders as well those win and have this prestigious trophy in their hands specially Roma, Union Berlin and Ajax are also doing good in their domestic leagues and have fair chance to through past this all but right now any prediction is going to be not perfect because we have very long break and now teams are going to face each other after few days so how things will be work and what outcome will be happened this is surely going to be interesting to watch from here while all eyes on just Barcelona vs Manchester United match.
708  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is the black swan event not to be expected anymore? on: February 06, 2023, 04:49:11 PM
Definitely not expected, if anyone was going to predict this event surely this wouldn't be a black swan event, simply because it is sudden and no one can predict it?

Yes, the FTX exchange event was a black swan because it was surprising to everyone because FTX seemed to be strong and its star was starting to shine brightly in the crypto market and suddenly everything collapsed.

You don't have to worry that when a black swan event happens, everyone will know about it.
For us the FTX collapse can be a black swan event because we didn't expect that it will happen but for those who are behind the FTX, it may not be because they might have planned it ever since the start but they try to hide it so that more and more people will trust them and then more money they can be able to steal.

The black swan event is an unexpected tragic event. People won't help it but to worry when it comes. The FTX collapse is not the first and it won't be the last, therefore a black swan event is always expected to happen but we shall only hope that the next one won't be severe as the FTX and the past black swan event's so that the growth of cryptos won't be disrupted again
709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Online Casinos Want you to Gamble Responsibly on: February 05, 2023, 09:15:35 PM
I don't believe online casinos enjoy seeing a gambler lose money.
Casinos have their house edge, and that's how they make money: the more people wager on their platform, the more the casinos earn. They don't care whether you are losing or winning as long as you are wagering. And, of course, they don't enjoy someone losing much more than he/she can afford to lose. It can potentially create troubles for a particular casino and gambling industry in general. No one needs that. So, contrary to popular belief, casinos are not interested in people losing all their money to them. Casinos want to see responsible gamblers on their platforms, not some gambling addicts.   
I think I already saw a crypto casino which doesn't have a house edge on them and there are also casino whose house edge is so tiny. Maybe these types of casinos are the ones who cares the most to their players. They still can earn in other ways like by putting some advertisements on their site. The players can also voluntarily click on it to help increase the earnings of that site.

Casinos can earn through house edges and that is why they offer different forms of bonuses and as well as other features which can make the gambler come back on their site to wager/play more. They do care of course when someone wins because it's a loss for them.
710  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Altcoins dead? on: February 05, 2023, 08:44:33 PM
Altcoins will never die, as developers launch new projects on a daily basis. Old coins will die (except ETH and a few others), while new ones will take the reigns as the "next big thing" in crypto. Bitcoin is the main trigger of the market, so if BTC prices go up, altcoins will do the same (or the opposite if BTC goes down). You have to consider that altcoins have a lot more risks than Bitcoin itself.

If you know how to play your cards right, then altcoins make the perfect "tool" to grow your investment in the short term. Otherwise, I'd suggest you invest only in Bitcoin to play it safe. The crypto market often comes with surprises, so who knows if you become the next crypto millionaire by holding prominent coins for quite some time? Just my opinion Smiley
Altcoins aren't a single coin so there is no way that all of them will die but many of them are now dead because they are weak and scam. Good altcoins can suffer from a bearish market but being dead isn't the best way to call or term them during these times. You can't call something dead if they are still active and can recover by the time the bull season came in, and also it was the new coins who has more chances of dying because new coins usually don't have anything new to offer as almost all the ideas are already given by the old coins. New coins are only good for the hypes so we can still invest on them for short-term gains.
711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 05, 2023, 08:30:22 PM
Napoli won again if they continue with these victories they may be even aim at the all-time Serie A points, 102 from Juventus of Conte.
That will be difficult to beat but one thing is sure here,Napoli is comfortable ahead at 16 points difference with the closest follower which happens to have a derby game right a couple of minutes from now.

It is the Milan derby between Inter and Milan and no matter who wins here I think the Serie A is already over for this year with Napoli having a great luxury to sacrifice up to at least 3 games if they want to without risking anything and fighting to do better in Champions League and going far there.
I agreed this is difficult but still in rang and possibility because now we have 17 rounds left and in first 21 rounds they have 56 points with two draws and just one lost, and now they need 46 points from 17 matches, and they can take 51 which is surely not possible but 46 or 47 are possible for touching this historical record in Serie A and their current level of performance and quality is surely allowed them to chase this task because they have good difference from the second spotted Inter and no other team had enough quality to stop them from doing this all in this season which is surely a landmark for them with their performance which is touching new heights in Italian league, and they can also do surprises into Champions League as well because we have history with things like these.
712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 05, 2023, 03:01:59 PM
Schalke have started to get points for two weeks which might be seen as positive news. However they got the same scores in both games like 0-0 as well. They are still struggling with scoring problems but at least they didn't concede any goal. The opponents were even teams like Koln and Gladbach. This might seem as some improvement I assume but it is still not changing much for them now.

Schalke are like destined to relegate from the Bundesliga as long as they keep playing poorly. I would have liked to see them surprising me though but I'm sure of it.
Surely a positive change for them as now they have two draws after conceding six goals from Leipzig they have two clean sheets but sadly their attack is also crap as it completely fails to give any positive output if they want to stay in Bundesliga then surely they need to improve their attack as well because right now things are manageable, and they can do few things which allow them to stay into Bundesliga.

Currently, situation is interesting with few teams are struggling and losing matches consistently which is also creating some mess up at the bottom and if Schalke able to improve their attack then surely we can expect good fight from them for their survival which is currently looking difficult because their attack is having nothing to give them good support even their defence is having some lifeline for them.
713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: February 04, 2023, 09:23:31 PM
There are some reasons first is that. India is not coming for Asia Cup in Pakistan. And the second is the economy crisis in Pakistan. ICC world cup asks too much funds so Pakistan has not much funds.
But still waiting for the announcement from the Pakistan Cricket Boad. Hope they will show the final decision soon.
At this point, I don't think that PCB is left with too many options. The most practical thing to do would be to move Asia Cup to a neutral venue and get some compensation from ICC or BCCI to cover the losses. Their economy is crashing and they can't afford a financial penalty from the ICC in case they pull out of the ODI world cup. The fight against pig-4 can't be done alone. PCB need to build strong bonds with other smaller full members and associate nations, if they want to take a stand against the discriminatory policies within the ICC.
Agree right now, PCB is having no luxury to stand against BCCI so better they need to understand this all situation and just go ahead with this Asia Cup in the UAE or any other neutral place with secondly they also need to travel to India for the ODI world cup 2023 which is beneficial for them and their finances.

Now or in near future I have feeling no one can stand against pig-4 because they have strong combination and better control, but things can change even takes time but right now best is gone ahead with this all and try to settle their inner issues which are also complicated and standing against these are never been profitable for them with no other board is going to give them any support.
714  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Marketplace (Altcoins) / Re: Online Gaming Competition for Gamblers on: February 04, 2023, 08:58:23 PM
yet there is an obligation to deposit and wager right? so that is not different from other gambling competition.
Quote
But it's never been easy to get into that top list so little gamblers like us won't be able to get into it.
I don't need to take part mate because I only gamble small time and limited time.
Quote
It is indeed very interesting and challenging to get to the top of the list, but we have to think about how much money we have to spend and how many losses we might get.
lets not talk about it because we are not even partaking any chances.
Quote
We must be aware of our abilities and be wise in following every promotion the casino gives so we can manage the amount of money we use.
I only responsible for my money and time , not for any about areas of gambling.
Depends on the online gambling. If it doesn't have a country restriction then anyone in all parts of the world can participate and compete through the ladder or leader board. In gambling, we are not obligated to play and deposit our own money but it's only our willingness if we want to have some fun and possibly try out luck to earn a profit.

I think the only way for a small gambler to compete in the leaderboards is to win big first by hunting a massive multiplier and after that, that was the time he can work out his wagers. Even though we can't win a prize, wagering is still beneficial to level up our accounts to unlock a VIP or higher level of it. We still can get a reward for this.
715  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: XRP - yes or no? on: February 04, 2023, 06:38:32 PM
For now xrp is good since this is fast and cheaper option if you want to escape the huge fee of bitcoin also with other alts. But if you are looking forward to invest on this coin then better take some extra precaution and always follow the news to avoid unwanted incident then follow what good updates happening on xrp ecosystem. SEC issue for now is not a big deal for other investors but we still need to aware of everything about it.
Fees in Bitcoin aren't high as before but its speed is still the same. It's not that snappy enough like the XRP, XRP may win on this matter but in terms of long-term investing, Bitcoin will always remain to be the winner. SEC issue is actually a big deal because if the decision of the court is against the XRP, XRP may get delisted but if they win the case their value might improve.

There might still be people who will take a risk and invest on XRP but they will only follow the advice that you gave there which is to monitor the news so that they can decide early if they will sell their XRP to avoid a bigger loss and possibly take some profits or continue hodling and buying because they are winning the case.
716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: February 04, 2023, 09:38:02 AM
Actually I can't say Lens played badly against Nice. They were quite effective on the front. They had a huge opportunity to get ahead first in the first half as well but Schmeichel did a really nice job to prevent them there. Nice's goal was totally due to a defensive mistake. Machado was sleeping there while Laborde finishing the attack with a goal by a single touch. Fofana was really close to scoring the equalizer later on but he targeted the goal post I'm afraid.

Lens could have got one point at least. Now they are behind Marseille and Marseille definitely deserved the position after a great form.
This collapse were expecting from the Lens because they were doing amazing job in first half of the season and having second spot for very long time, but they are not strong enough to hold this spot with this average squad with they were losing points consistently in away games, but now they have lost game at home which is surely big setback for them at crucial time of the season while Marseille is also having good run, and now they will not allow them to challenge them for this spot with Monaco is also improving their quality and performance for third spot which is having just 4 points difference, but sadly Monaco is also losing points like Lens in away matches which is not ideal for them if they want to jump at third spot at the end of this season.

Pakistan participation is yet not confirmed in ODI WC as India is not coming to Pakistan for Asia Cup.
As I am seeing that the Pakistan team in top five on the ranking of ICC men's odi ranking. And since the top seven teams in the rankings are considered as Super Leagues and qualified for the ICC World Cup, so Pakistan is already qualified for playing  ICC World Cup 2023.
Moreover, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already confirmed that no decision has been taken regarding Pakistan not going to the ODI World Cup 2023 which is going to be held in India. source
Right now, as changes happening in Pakistan, things are not clear and no one can predict about this decision that can Pakistan tour India for the world cup, or it's all not clear if we have election in Pakistan and the Imran Khan regime again in power than most chances Pakistan will not tour and things could be worst for the game and Pakistan as well but if we have no domestic changes in coming days then surely we can expect this current management will be allowed team to tour for the World cup as they are also having big funding from the ICC and many other aspects also in their way if they will tour for this big event which is going to happen in October 2023.

Most chances we have postponed Asia Cup or going to play at neutral place because right now India is stick with his policies, and they have no soft corner about their policies against Pakistan, so things could be all gone in their favour with their policies.

As I expected Fenerbahçe keeps getting bad results. Very good for both Galatasaray and Beşiktaş. I think Jorge Jesus completely lost his motivation in league. This probably affected other Fenerbahçe players. They perform worse than what they perform in last months. Looks like sometimes dedication is important. I suggest gamblers to stay away from betting for Fenerbahçe in more weeks. Beşiktaş may get better than them.
This week's problem was not only Fenerbahçe's performance. The course of the match has changed a lot because of the referees, there are many controversial positions and one of the biggest reasons why the match ended in a draw was the referees. However, Adana's performance was quite good in my opinion, they found a lot of chances and reacted to the scoring opportunities. Actually we could have watched a lot more goals Smiley
There is too much talk about referee and his poor decisions which are having big impact on Fenerbahçe and their performance at the end of this season because they lost few points which was vital for them in this game, but sadly things were never been in their favour, and they have to face situation like this.

Adana is also having good performance, and they are doing good job for the better end of this season in presence of few better teams, but competition is tough, and they have no enough quality to challenge big teams but as things are developing in this league we can expect good changes in coming days and teams will be able to have quality players for challenging top rank teams which are dominating for decades.

I know this is his courage but is he going to be consistent with this talk because basically it's not going to be easy even though the target purchase is up to $ 50k maybe one of the best is the DCA method and don't expect the bitcoin price to touch $ 50k this year because we won't get much bitcoin, so I want this to only be a temporary recovery and experience another correction after that I can buy bitcoin back at its lowest point, from all that I hope that in 2024 bitcoin will actually start to be bullish.
You think btc is going back down to the point it was following ftx crash ? In the correction you mentioned. I'm also waiting for that.
It wasn't Bitcoin who follows the FTX crash but it was the FTX crash who follows BTC because BTC is already crashing that time. I think the lowest we got during that time is $15k. It's not really that far from what we are achieving this year so I think yes it's still pretty possible for the BTC price to go back there and it could start with a simple correction first.

You sure can wait for that but you can also do a DCA so that you can still gain something if ever BTC moves forward and not downwards. @$crypto$ yeah bro, it's only easy to say than done. I doubt he will still buy after seeing the price rise so fast but he can always keep some evidence and prove it here that he is right and we are wrong.

Dhaka Dominators managed to collect only 130 runs. The first three players in the top order had a total of just 10 runs. It is very difficult to collect big if the top order does not play well. Rangpur batsmen do not have much problem to win by batting on such a small target. But Rangpur lost 8 wickets. The batsmen should have performed more carefully. Apart from Nurul and Roni, none of Rangpur's batsmen can play well. Dhaka used 7 of their bowlers today. Despite having so many bowlers, Dhaka's performance is not good. However, Rangpur's win in this match made it four consecutive matches.
Dhaka Dominators were one of the worst team in this season and now with this lost they are out of the playoffs race because now we have all four teams at the top and next matches are going to play for the formality nothing impact going to happen on teams today we have early lost for the Dhaka Dominators which bring them down, and they were not able to score big score but still their bowlers done good and match ended in 20th over which is amazing stuff from them specially from their captain who takes two crucial wickets and try to have better ending for them in this season but nothing positive happen now RR and CV both having good winning streak and things are looking interesting for the play-offs as well.
