If I base your question on the dollar value, dude, each bitcoin needs to be worth 100 million dollars first. And I don't know if I'm still alive or if it's the end of the world. It means that it is far from the truth and reality. Though others may think that everything is possible with Bitcoin or cryptocurrency,
But why should we think about that? The important thing now is how we can accumulate bitcoin and other potential cryptocurrencies for the future so that we have savings for our loved ones. We should just deal with the reality of our lives right now
It won't, there is really no need to think about this, there are way too many people who calculate based on price and not the market cap and that's our trouble. The same mindset of asking if 1 satoshi will be 1 dollar, is the same mindset of people who has if shiba will be 1 dollar as well. They have no understanding of the concept of market cap, and because they do not understand what that means, they just look at the price and say "what if it just happens 1 dollar, nothing huge, just 1 dollar which is a small amount", well it might look small amount to say it is only 1 dollars, but the market cap becomes bigger than every asset in the world combined if you do that, hence why it will not happen. It is as simple as that.

Things aren't going according to script in Turkey. Loosing 1:0 in 80th minute will not be easy to turn. I expected them to concede and played both to score @2.35 but I never thought they will not be able to score at home. What is worse, according to the stats, Turkey isn't even creating a lot of chances.
Turkey have been playing very badly for a long time. The match in which we played the best in the recent times was the Croatia match. We lost that one in our home as well. Kuntz should get sacked directly tonight and they should sign Fatih Terim. We are going to play against Croatia away next time. If we didn't score the equalizer in the 88th minute we were going to come across a much worse scene today. @CLS63 your wish came true as Turkey did score but they failed to win the game and it ended in a draw which could indeed prove costly for their head coach. Furthermore there’s no immediate update if he’s been sacked or not but I believe that post the weekend we’ll get some clarity on this matter and if they yet retain him then wagering against Turkey makes more sense for their upcoming game’s. It's football, let's not be too hasty on criticism, I have seen England lose to smaller clubs as well not too long ago, this is why I think it should be considered a normal regular gambling loss. I still remember the time Bayenr lost to Schalke (or was it a tie) who relegated. This is just a situation where we have to consider this to be something that would be weird if we let it be, I believe that we are going to be ending up with something that would benefit us on the long run. I know that it is not going to be that much of a special thing to lose just one game, it happens, if the long term looks fine then everything is fine. Remember, because of the house edge, you should be losing money, so it is not a shocker to lose.

wager requirements can make or break a casino experience. I also fully agree that a 3x requirement isnt everyone's cup of tea. Casinos ought to listen to the community, especially a well-informed one like this forum. Your voice and your dissatisfaction with the 3x wager requirement need to be heard. Casinos should be here to serve you, not make your life more difficult.
That said, your point about inviting a casino representative to read this thread is cool. Casinos need to understand that customer feedback is their most valuable asset. You, and people like you, can provide insights that even the best campaign manager cant offer. They better start listening or risk losing valuable players. So yes, the ball's in their court now; they've got quality advice, they've got a forum of real traffic. Whats their next move?
It can become a problem only for gamblers that ready to make just one bet and leave the casino, or some cheaters that register fake accounts. The gamblers that wants to gamble in the casino it can`t be a problem. They don`t win every bet, they lose and win and some moment they bet enough not to care about wager requirements. In some rare situations when the gambler win big prize with the first bet the casino security will check this bet and i think if it would be ok they can allow to withdraw the prize. I don't think that a casino will allow a gambler to withdraw if they hit big win on their first spin no matter how much they've deposited because wagering requirement is a necessary thing for every single casino platform because without a wagering requirement, a casino will have to face a lot of losses because there are thousands of gamblers who manage to win something on their very first bet, and if there is no wagering requirement, they will all withdraw their funds immediately. But when a gambler who has managed to win something initially is asked to complete a certain wagering requirement, they tend to lose back to the house and that makes the casino not suffer from giving away free money to them. This way, casinos can save themselves from losing a lot of money.

I also think that the problem was with Hillary Clinton and not the fact that she was a woman. She is the poster child for nepotism, trying to be the president just because her husband was once the president?
Like what qualifications did she had before she started to work in the politics? Only her husband, she used her network (which is the biggest network in the world due to her husband being the president of the USA) and got a position and grew from there. She never even deserved her own nomination, she got the nomination due to DNC electing her, not the people, if we look at the popular vote inside DNC, it was Bernie Sanders who got more votes actually, and only a few people decided Hillary should be the nominee compared to millions more people wanting Bernie.

Ronaldo being the best player in a low level league is not really that surprising to be fair, he is definitely the best player without really seeing any games if you do not want to, that dude is a beast for this league. He was "arguably" good for United for a whole season, and then just one season later he was let go, so it is understandable that he would still be good enough for this league, which is ranked very low.
I think it is important because we are talking about a bigger thing than any other player there. Same goes for Messi too, MLS doesn't have any proper footballers, rarely you see anyone from MLS to ever leave to another nation, so he is doing a good job without a doubt, I think it is obvious for them without a doubt.

Manchester City have won the last 5 matches against their opponent without conceding a goal. I'm sure they will continue this series. Sheffield United's quality is limited. They play to avoid relegation. I don't think they will have a chance against the champion. De Bruyne won't be around for 4 months. Now Alvarez has a lot of work to do. We see that he started playing in that area. Pep Guardiola played him there sometime last season as well. Let see how is it going to be.
I was also expecting good performance from the Manchester City in this match just because of this I place good amount as my greediness was on top and have Citizens to win and over 3.5 but at the end I lost this just because of this was never been easy game and KDB absence is surely going to have big impact on their performance in coming matches as well. Sheffield United goalkeeper Foderingham was impressive throughout match, and he stops many certain goals with Haaland was also not effective as he needs to be in this match, hopefully Manchester City will be improved their performance even right now they are alone with 100% winning rate in first three matches of this new season.

Interesting thing is that a year ago we were right here anyway. The difference in tone this time is we are viewing thar area from above, having it as support where it was a ceiling a year before. I think its good support so not right now, in wider terms I'd say we repeat ourselves and keep failing to test the higher prices even when positive for days, a week or more. Overall it has been the case we move sideways more then up and thats the label for the whole year, more then any proper fight, progression or even race but we are mud fighting in a pit in a messy way falling over all the time.
People do forget about those things, just a year ago we were probably a lot lower than this, I remember on September or October we were closer to 15k levels before we started to take off and reached to 30k levels. I understand that some people may not enjoy this situation and that is understandable, nobody likes to see the price go down, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with a problem, we need to realize that we are going to end up with a good result one way or another. This is why it's important to focus on making as much profit as you possibly could, it will definitely end up making you a good profit. This is why keep holding bitcoin even during low periods and when it's crashing is so important.

Well this both good and not as good as expected all at the same time. First of all it is great because I would never guessed that you would have a deal with a club as big as Newcastle United, they are definitely a big name and having one like this is a big thing. But also, we are not talking about jersey sponsorship, we are talking about betting partners and that's not the same thing, we had Arsenal too and that's not really a big deal.
I think jersey sponsorships matter a lot more than these, and that's the way you grow. Look at some other casinos and how much they grew with that, it should be felt like they are doing a good job and we should consider them to be a lot better on the long run that way, it will definitely help out.

Maybe for me it will be natural if Neymar gets a big salary close to Ronaldo because after all, Neymar is also younger than Ronaldo who certainly can still play longer. Also, basically Neymar is a great player with his agility, so I think whether Neymar will get 100 million euros or higher, for me it is still worth it for Neymar.
But yes, it is different if we consider the case of Neymar who has been injured quite often. So with these considerations, then maybe the salary he will receive will decrease slightly. but as one of the best players in the world, I can still accept Neymar's eligibility to get a large salary. Because after all, playing in the Saudi Professional League although currently there are many clubs that have star players, but I am sure Neymar still has a chance to be able to contribute great for Al Hilal later.
Right now with the available sources about Neymar Jr transfer to Al Hilal from PSG is having big amount even right now PSG is having only €100 m even they spend nearly €220 m on this transfer in August 2017, but this is good opportunity for them to offload him and have some better options with now Neymar is going to receive €300 m for the two years contract and this is not extendable as well with this at the age of 33 he will be free agent and can join any club as well. With this transfer now Al Hilal is looking one of the best club in this league, and they can go through for the top spot without any problem in their first game they already have good result.

Yesterday was a terrible day for me. I lost both free bets, plus all predictions were wrong.  I was cheering for Liverpool as they scored two goals in the first 25 minutes, and they MO Salah's goal was offside. Then Chelsea came back strongly by scoring two goals in three minutes. It was bad luck that one of their goals was offside as well. I did not think the match result would end 1-1 because everything happened too quickly, and both teams had enough time to score. Chelsea was outstanding with the performance. Chelsea's possession was over 64%. It was the seventh consecutive time that Liverpool and Chelsea's match had been drawn. This is the first time Oval Invincibles lost a match in The Hundred tournament, and it was against Birmingham Phoenix; this team did not manage to win a single game before this match. What a terrible luck! It happens and you do not have to worry about it, some days are like that and there is no way that you could make it back. I understand that not a lot of people could think the same way and some people think that it is going to matter a lot but if this is the situation and if we are losing then so be it, that is also part of the situation and shouldn't really be considered that weird for us at all. I think it could be considered very important part of gamblers life, when they realize that they are not suppose to win, mathematically they are destined to lose and that's why we have this and that's why we are going to end up with a problem one way or another if we keep on insisting that we should be winning the games.

People do know that at the very very very worst case, debt means you will be losing your stuff, and that's it? I mean maybe jailed in some nations, but that's literally it. You are not going to be murdered or something for not paying your tax.
For example in my nation, unless you stole some money, you are going to just end up getting some bank people come to your house, take away a few things, and then leave, and your bank accounts will be blocked, and any money that goes in there will be going to the bank to pay it back, and that means you are going to be fine, you will do fine. Sure it is not the ideal life but you are not going to live like this terrible horrible life, it is going to be worst than worst than what could have been, but still a life.

These things happen when the government officials or politicians of a country are corrupt to the core. They keep hoarding money for themselves that they get either from taxes or anywhere that comes in the government treasury, they never spend the money what it is meant for, which leads them to borrowing money from other countries or the world bank which then keeps interests piling up, since they don't manage things well, the currency starts devaluing.
The political leaders or the government don't really care much because they think that they will just leave and someone else will take the seat and he will manage the things further. When the next government comes, the condition of the country is not even controllable because of the corruption that has been done by the previous government.

It is an important match for both. If Arsenal can not win this match, their hope to win Premier League will be over soon. In this week, Manchester City will very probably use their alternative squad to play as they will have a semi final with Real Madrid in mid of the next week. I really think Pep Guardiola will reserve some important players on bench for Champions League. This approach will bring risk to lose points and Arsenal can put their hope in this week day.
With Newcastle United, they are still in a race with some clubs for top four, Manchester United and Liverpool. They will not want to lose to Arsenal and fall down in last 4 matches of this season and lose their slot in top four. They are very close to be eligible for Champions League 2023 - 2024 with a few more matches to achieve it.
I mean at the end of the day the difference between the opponents will be the decision maker. Sure City will not use their starting eleven, I mean they may do that too but they shouldn't but the team they are facing is Leeds, the team fighting against relegation, so it should not be hard to beat them, they could use some bench players and rest some of the stars and still should be able to beat them, it shouldn't be that hard. On the other hand, Arsenal will be facing Newcastle United, which is a top team since the takeover, and they have done alright this season, I am guessing that they are going to be a much tougher team, yeah Arsenal has nothing else to play for so they will use their main team, but will also be playing against Newcastle so it will be naturally a difficult game to win.

Definitely a good win by Arsenal, an important game as well because even though Chelsea looks like they are doing terrible this season, the fact that they have a great roster and a great team is still true, so beating them is expected but not easy so this one was a bit easy even at the first half like @buwaytrees said.
In the end, they may not be champions this season but they have played this season as good as any other champion before, if it weren't for City and their amazing domination over the league, Arsenal would have been champions, City just managed to build a team that has dominated the league for like half a decade by now I suppose, and they are winning almost all titles, and maybe Arsenal could have been odd duck season, but feels like they probably won't be.

unexpectedly the Juventus vs Bologna match had to end in a draw. I bet on Juventus and had to accept defeat. the match was quite a draw, even though the hosts were unexpectedly able to offset the game from Juventus. Juventus should have been superior because of the penalty that was also given. but it failed to complete due to a good performance by the Bologna keeper. luckily Arkadiusz Milik made up for his mistake and scored a goal so the match ended in a draw. Juventus are still helped in a safe position at this time.
Juventus didn't take advantage of the opportunity, even though Allegri had said he would not let Inter Milan enter the Champions League zone this season, but this match the Juventus players wasted points. I think Juventus need to find a sharp centre-forward and a midfielder with a lot of skill and agile wings, only Di Maria has to defend. With the draw in the match against Bologna, Juventus has made the competition in the UCL zone even hotter and tougher. The difference between the second and seventh ranks is only 6 points. 2. Lazio 61 3. Juve 60 4. Inter 57 5. Milan 57 6. Romans 57 7. Atalanta 55 I feel like the top will not drop that further, I understand Atalanta is still close, but I do not think that they have a chance to be second, if Lazio starts to lose, other teams ahead of Atalanta will take that chance before they could. So if we approach this logically then we are not going to end up with any good results, it is going to take a while and shouldn't be a problem. I know that it is not going to be easy for Lazio to keep this up, they are ahead thanks to JUventus not getting the win as well but how many games could they risk like this to keep on being there? Not many and I feel like we are going to see Lazio drop from there, Inter or Milan may switch positions or maybe not but I think Juventus at second, Lazio at third, and Milan or Inter at fourth and fifth is the way we will end.

Real Madrid now have 62 points, but this does not change anything significantly, to win back the difference of 11 points in 9 rounds is too difficult a task. Barcelona are losing points for the second round in a row, I don’t know if we can talk about a decline, because they play well, they still dominate, but they can’t score. Real Madrid should have won the game against Villarreal, in previous round, to increase their chances, but the gap is still very significant, so Barcelona have nothing to worry about.
Yes, you are right, the opportunity that Madrid should have taken advantage of was against Villarreal, if at that time you could get full points, maybe you would have a very small difference in points with Barcelona, but unfortunately Madrid had to lose points, 2 matches in a row, Barcelona could only pick up one point. with a draw, but the distance between Madrid and Barcelona is 11 points, and that means it is still far away. There are still 9 matches left in this season and it is very difficult for Madrid to catch up with Barcelona by 11 points, if Barcelona plays consistently in the remaining 9 matches with lots of wins of course there is no hope for Madrid to win the league this season, the only hope is focus in the hunt for the UCL where currently Madrid is also focusing on qualifying for the CL semifinals.  I would guess that if they won against Barcelona as well, that would have been even better because Barcelona loses 3 points while Madrid gets it, and then the Villareal on top of that where Barcelona got 1 and Madrid would have gotten 2, that's like 5 points covered in a matter of just two games. All in all the whole season was a terrible one for them and that's just not going to be enough to keep saying this game or that game because the whole season was bad for Madrid, we just have to accept that they did not do as well as previous years. I am guessing that next year some things will change and they will have a better season than this year, not saying they will win, but I am sure they will have more points next season than this season.

When it will become electric it will be an advantage for teams who have expressed their desire to enter the sport at that year,I don't know if Hyundai has expressed such desire but KIA which is owned by them has done so and we all know that right now in Europe they are dominating the electric market completely with Hyundai being at the top.This means these manufacturers who have been investing in electric cars from many years now most probably will have an edge when it comes to Formula 1 becoming electric.I would love to see such scenario as this would put a lot of pressure on Mercedes and other teams to immediately close the gap and we could see some really nice races and fierce competition which is missing these last couple of years here.
There is audi as far as I know, and there are other teams that want to join too like Ford but they may do a partnership, like Andretti Ford F1 team type of thing. I think it is important to remember that most teams have their teams sponsoring someone, a business or rather. It will be good to see a lot more teams, not saying that they will all join at the same time, and they will most probably suck on the first few years but get better overtime, but electric shouldn't be the way to go about that. This will make sure that cars are not as powerful as they used to be, great starts and acceleration for electric cars, the starts and the first turns will be much more interesting to see, but gas cars with proper engines always beats them on the long straights if given the chance. Right now we are already pretty heavy on electric anyway, it will get worse.

I am sure it's typical Hamilton crying and nothing more. If you have been watching F1 for a while, you will see that cars are getting a lot more overtake chances these past 2 years, and it is true that it was more common last year and less this year so it is getting a bit harder, but that is because teams are getting used to this new setup and nothing more.
People will feel a bit different about this because next year the difference could be even bigger and probably bigger after that up until the last year, which should be 2026 where new cars will be used. That will be very different, it is not purely electric, but it is getting there and those days of v10 will be gone, it will be mostly electric and more like formula-e instead.

To have special set of plays for everyone in the team is something every coach does. I have worked in basketball before, obviously it was some very local minor league with absolutely no talent at all, people who played with 20-30% fg and all that, it was terrible. But even in that situation, we had set plays for even the 12th man, think about it, this dude played maybe 30 minutes all season long, not in a single game, he played 30 minutes ALL season total, and we had set plays for him.
Because you can't have a player suddenly go into the game and not know what they are going to do and if a few injuries or rejected from the game then that guy could go into the game and you need to be ready to tell him what he should be doing.
