Wonder if Ferrari should take this chance, to give Hamilton brand new everyone, so that he can take the hit and the penalty right away, and get a terrible result at Monza. That sounds like a good decision because getting that some other time would have made it a lot worse, because it is obvious he is not going to win here, his entire race would be about going from 20th place to top 10, and that would be enough, even at 10th place. Aside from that, I do not see him do a any worse, he already has a grid penalty, they should take advantage of it.

Some other race where he is better, would not be a good race for him to take that chance, and if they need a new engine or something, or ERS or gearbox or whatever, and get a grid penalty again, it would hurt more than this.

Some? Just like everything in investment, you see some good ones there on the image OP shared, but there are many which are horrible and you lose all. That is why there is nothing that makes this better exactly, you need to be careful about it. I understand it is not an easy thing to handle, but it is also not that difficult thing neither.

We need to make sure that it's better looking. For the time being, just avoid them, because surely there are some good, but there are more bad than good, and they have to try hard to find some good. Like even on an example of good ones, there are bad ones at the bottom, imagine what lies beneath all of that too. That is why it would make sense to just make money from whatever you are handling, that should be the key. Ignore these.

Players don't wake up to offer a request to leave their present club without having good reasons for their decision. Isak has now made his reasons for asking to leave Newcastle united clear. A promise has been broken and he does not find it comfortable to still play in a club that do not respect promises made. On the path of Newcastle united they are not willing to release him subsequent to the absurd fees placed on him. Isak has to stand on his ground and ensure his rights are respected and not attending the PFA award night was a right protesting decision.
It's literally part of the business. Players can leave, and Teams can sell players, and both sides could do something about this. You get players and send players and players can be excited to join, or want to leave, all works to be fair and nothing is wrong.

We can't judge Isak from wanting to leave, he has every right to request a trade and he is going to end up getting transferred to some other team, just like how he did to Newcastle, or any other player that moved anyway. Nobody requests Newcastle to give him away for zero dollars, we are talking about a team willing to pay for 80+ million in return to him. And they are kidding themselves if they think that he worths anything more than 100, which they claim he is worth 150 and that is just foolish nothing more. We should be considering this as better situation to be in.

Re: If Bitcoin Becomes the Global Reserve, What Happens to Gold?

If bitcoin becomes the global reserve, nothing will happen to gold.
I mean in a sense that gold will still be and always be gold but we can just accept the fact that by the time BTC starting to get known, that have affected the the demand that supposed to be going for gold.

honestly, I even think the day bitcoin becomes a global reserve is still a long way off, I don't see it happening in this decade or the next. Look at what's happening now, how central banks around the world are treating bitcoin. They don't need it like we think, the FED has publicly stated that they have no intention of adding bitcoin to the federal reserve, or the ECB has even outright criticized bitcoin and considers it only a speculative asset, and not suitable to be a currency or reserve asset.
So let's forget about bitcoin replace gold as the global reserve anytime soon.
And BTC is also like that. It is not limited as an asset as well but it also functions as a currency. That makes it even more valuable. AFAIK there are countries or governments already that started using BTC as their reserves. Time will come that all of them are now doing that but I think that is only the formal time for us to call BTC as a global reserve. We can't tell the exact time for this. It can be long or it can be short depending on how things go with BTC or on the factors that surrounds it.

Re: Nobody don't want to borrow money but they need to do it

on 13/08/2025, 11:32:30 UTC
Only way for many is now just to keep that system up and running to pay old debt with new debt.
This practice is more dangerous than the crisis itself. When an individual or an organisation reach a stage where they need to borrow money to clear out old debt, it only takes intervention to revive such company back to their feet otherwise, it is best to close it down as early as possible. Borrowing money is not ideally a good practice but it can not be entirely avoided at some point especially if you are to use the borrow money on a good course. However, it's a great financial mistake to start borrowing to settle old debt because it keeps you in debt circle. Advisably, irrespective of economy and inflation saga, one should do everything possible to avoid loans.
That would be basically death spiral for any company. I am not against getting a loan, it's fine if you want to grow, and I did, and I have huge huge debt, which I am having so much trouble paying it back, it's literally a terrible place to be in at the moment. But you know what's different?

When all of that is gone, I will be making more money per month. If that is how you use loans, that's fine, but only pay the old debt with new debt? That will mean that you are not going to get what you want, it's just not going to work at all. It should be something that will take a while for you to recover from and there is a big chance that you are going to end up with more and more debt. Don't know how to get out, but the best known way is to spend less, and earn more obviously.

Pakistan will want to forget about the loss in the first match and enter the field. To save the series, they will have to win today's match. On the other hand, Ireland will want to win today's match and secure the series. The conditions and the spectators at the ground will be under control in Ireland.
First match ended close win for home team Ireland w today Pakistan w opted bat first after winning toss their start is good but still they needed good improvement in technique because they are not playing as they needed even both teams are having same level of quality and performance.

At the end of 6th over, Pakistan w scored 44 they were doing good job which will give them chance of having good target on board in first game Pakistan while chasing 143 lost the game by 11 runs just because of their poor technique and slow batting but today their start is good, and they are set for having good target on board.

Re: Will Bitcoin Hit $500k before the end of the decade as predicted by Jeremie Davi

Personally I think the time frame is too short to hit the $500,000 mark.
What do you think?
On the contrary, we could reach $500K this year or next. I admit that my opinion is a bit bullish, but I believe that at some point there will be a supply shock that will send the price skyrocketing, and we will see changes of tens of thousands of dollars upward, as we now see hundreds or thousands.
If we are talking about what is "possible" in technical terms, yes that is possible and could happen. But if we are talking what is probable then this won't happen. Supply shock is not that possible when there are huge walls from here to there, the amount of sale that will happen make sure that the supply shock isn't a good enough reason.

It doesn't mean we are not going to go up, of course we can go up more, but that doesn't mean 500k, that's way too much. For that to happen, we need x10+ more buyers than what we have right now, and there isn't a single reason why we would have that, why would people suddenly start to buy ten times more? Even in a supply shock, that's not really the case at the moment and shouldn't be one.

Re: One trading strategy is enough.

In fact, beginners should not follow too many trading strategies. It is better for beginners to go ahead with a few strategies, but one of those strategies is to continue trading using a very small amount of money on the trading platform and gain experience. If a new trader uses more money on the trading platform and continues trading, then that person will lose money on the trading platform, then it will be seen that that person is thinking negatively about the trading platform. But among some other strategies, he should not be too greedy, he should be patient and should not trade with emotion. I think it is very important to follow these few strategies as a new trader.
You are right that beginners should not practice trading strategies. But if they can accumulate small amounts using discretionary income then they can continue to get holdings as they gain experience. The tendency to quick sell should be reduced as it is more important for beginners to have the effort to build a decent holding. Trading with lump sum money is too risky for those beginners.
Trading platforms are a great place for qualified and experienced people Experienced traders implement decisions quickly to get high profits. I find the strategies and tendency of those traders to make quick profits impressive. To be a trader at that level you need to be in the trade field with long term market observation, consistency of accumulation and decent portfolio.
Why not? And as they say "Practice makes perfect". And then strategies are a crucial part for our success. It is always better to practice a strategy first before deploying them, so that we can minimize the errors and maximize our chances of winning. Quick sell and trading must be the same. If we will only hold, we must do investing instead. If you mean by holding is capital, then we can accumulate it outside first before starting the activity.

As a beginner, to start small is actually fine because their knowledge is also small and they are prone to losses, so they can only lose small but the learnings they get can be a big thing already for them to improve later on. Trading is for all and all starts as a beginner.

despite the bad start, the Pakistan team were able to score 201 runs in the first innings. The middle order batted well and the captain Salman Agha batted like the captain and score the highest 56 runs. Shadab Khan and Hasan Nawaz made a quick 48 and 44 runs respectively and it was due to these two innings that Pakistan piled up score at the end of the innings. Shadab Khan hit two sixes and five fours but unfortunately missed his half century by two runs. I think the Pakistan bowlers are capable enough to defend this score.
Pakistan playing this series without their few star players while Bangladesh is having good practice in the UAE as they lost 3 matches series here expectations were not high from them against Pakistan but still they have good start but later due to their inexperienced bowlers Pakistani team fights back.

Salman Agha 56, Shadab Khan 48 and young Hassan Nawaz 44 bring Pakistan on 201 total which is looking decent for them Bangladesh had not good start of their inning as they also lost 2 quick wickets now Towhid Hridoy and Lutton Das on crease 61 for 2 at the end of 8 overs things are still balanced even it's challenging for Bangladesh, but they can go through for win here.

Now required rate is almost @12 which is looking challenging, but they can go for this challenge because they needed something big here if they want to be improved side in this format.

Currently, round 36 is underway in Premier League finalist of UEFA Europa League are playing their games at home against weaker sides, but both are having same results.

It's really frustrating things are not going as they are preparing for final so have no motivation to play and win these games both are trailing by 0–2 which is bringing them to 16th and 17th spots in league table. Nottingham Forest is leading Leicester City by 2–1 which is giving them 5th spot, but things are going to be more interesting in coming week as Aston Villa will be host Tottenham and Chelsea will be host Manchester United while Nottingham Forest will be visited West Ham and Arsenal will be host Newcastle United.

Leicester City lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool and are certain of relegation.
Liverpool will be Premier League champions if they win next week.

M.United lost 1-0 at home to Wolverhampton.
Wolverhampton have won their last 5 games. Vitor Pereira has really changed this team and saved them from relegation.
They are playing really well and winning.
At the end of 33 rounds in Premier League, many things are settled but official statement still is not set because on papers few things are needed to be settled Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town all relegated.

Liverpool is now champions of this season while 4 teams are fighting hard for their spots Arsenal is at good even not all set with Newcastle Untied and Manchester City are also looking favourite to stay in top 5 teams but 1 spot with 3 teams in competition are not finalized because Nottingham today visiting Tottenham which is important for them. Chelsea and Aston Villa are also having challenges ahead of them which can make their journey hard before end of this season it's going to be interested in coming last rounds.

IPL 2025 9th game is currently underway at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ahmedabad where MI captain Hardick Pandya after having win in toss opt to bowl first GT have good start both openers done good job and have 78 runs for first wicket partnership in 9th over of the match Hardick Pandya give breakthrough to his team after taking wicket of GT captain Shubman Gill.
At This time Mumbai Indians has lost 2 wickets.The run rate is still very low and the number of wickets is high at this time Gujarat Titans team bowlers are putting full pressure on the Indians Mumbai batsman. And now  S. Yadav and T. Varma are batting on pitch seeing their stuttering batting , it is clear that they are batting under full pressure.If this continues, I don't think Mumbai Indians will be able to complete a tough run target, if T. Varma manages his batting and stays steady still the end, then it can be hoped that this will add a new suspencne in this  match. Now T. Varma is taking charge of the batting and is moving forward and has scored 21 runs.
End of 13 overs, with 108 for 4 Mumbai Indians impact player gone without any impact for them now situation is tense require rate is increasing and Suryakumar Yadav on crease Hardick Pandya still available things are going to be interesting as both teams are looking for first win in this game after losing their first games.

89 runs 41 balls Gujarat Titans are looking in good position while their bowlers are doing good job at home boundaries which are crucial not coming as they needed Mumbai Indians are surely frustrating with this situation of the game Win Probability clearly showing right now home team is having 85% chance of win this match right now.

What is wrong with Nottingham Forest in this match that the team has to lose by that much in the first half
I think Nottingham Forest lost their willpower after they conceded the second goal. If Newcastle win this game, they will secure 5th position in the table. Nottingham Forest has been incredible this season but if Nottingham Forest lose this game, they will be out of the top 4.

I really hope Liverpool vs Manchester City will be as interesting as this game has been so far, I don’t want to watch a 1 nil victory or 2-1 victory match.
Nottingham already achieves enough in this season now time for having some reality with third defeat in last four games and next game is against Arsenal mean their business is going to be in problem for staying at third spot because Manchester City is having good time for jumping above and going to take this.

Today in early minutes of this game things were looking positive but suddenly St James Park have serious aggression and Newcastle United scored 4 goals in 11 minutes which change the momentum of this game and now Newcastle United is going through for their good end of this game now situation is not easy for two spots with many teams are doing good job and have enough space but with current level of performance and consistency Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester City are set for top three while fourth could be not easy to predict.

Re: Suggesting a feature for casinos
by
MinMan
on 20/02/2025, 17:21:41 UTC
With this your suggestion, the casino will be at the losing side whenever the gambler set the cashout. And the bookmarkers will look for alternatives way to bypass that feature. Either they will make the cashout very small or remove the cashout features in most of the game and only in specific games which they know that the percentage of cashout will be minimal. Though the proposed suggestion is good but I don't think casino bookmakers will implement it because they are also using that to make money.
There are still gamblers who lose though, so casinos can still earn decently. Also there are no guarantees that those who cash-out their money will never come back again because I'm sure many of them will re-deposit again eventually and they can even lose more money than compared to their winnings.

If we are talking about the cash-out option in sports betting, then the cash-out for them is already small. That is for the gambler to think twice if they will cash-out or continue playing but I think many still continues because of that fact. Some can win and can be more happier, while some lose and regret their previous decisions pretty badly.

Sometimes you need things to get much worse before it gets any better. The new system was terrible obviously, not only the teams and such part was terrible, but also the fact that we have seen the whole Kevin Hart thing, everyone hated that and everyone was disgruntled about it too.

The players were literally telling Kevin Hart to shut up basically, like I can sort of understand commentators talking about players behind their back while the game is going on, but giving that feed directly to the players while the game is being played? Lebron was out from the start the moment he learned the new situation. But at least we got something out of this, we know that this isn't going to be working, and we are going to go back to old ways soon.

Re: BTC to 150K this year?
by

on 10/02/2025, 09:50:20 UTC
I’m not disagreeing with you, but like I said, we still need to wait for the market to turn bullish again before we can start talking about a new ATH that it might reach. It doesn’t make sense to discuss a new ATH when the price is still below $100K, and some people might have already panicked and sold their Bitcoin due to FOMO.
Hmmm, that's true, mate!!!Recently Bitcoin has tasted the 100k in a short time frame, and through which we can clearly monitor it well that still Bitcoin is on the way to making some more surges towards 150k, and maybe we can see it at the end of the year. Bitcoin is still moving towards the new ATH in a unique way, but unfortunately, due to some political act, we get to see disappointment from weak-hand buddies, i mean weak-handed people panicking in the trap of a political agenda, which actually affects the market. So we should just monitor such actions and not react because these politicians adopt non-optional ways to achieve their goals.

The rest of the things are that Bitcoin will be recovered soon. Maybe within a few days we will get to see 100k, and after that we can easily speculate 150k till the end of the 2025.
Mostly were expecting some quick movement in bitcoin price as Trump done good campaign about this during his election but now suddenly market under pressure because due to tariff race and few other non issues giving serious headache to investors which are not doing any movement just waiting for right time and any positive news.

Many ATH are going to happen because now peoples are comfortable about their investment and savings into bitcoin while many big players are also going to increase their role, but few things are still keeping negativity which is surely giving panic for hodlers, but things are still needed to be clear.

Analysts are clearly indicating few breakthroughs which are surely going to happen but nothing is predictable when things will be gone on right track because no one is surely due to uncertainty in few big issues around big economies.

People will say that it's now down again to $97k. I think most people that are too reactive to the daily price of Bitcoin has something to do with day trading but I am not. Overall, it's still a good correction that we have to experience. The next time that it will recover with some good or no news at all that will make the entire market to react to is just a matter of time. It only has one way and direction to go for this bull run and that's going up. Everyone who's too stressed looking at the daily candles need to take a rest if you don't have something to do with it or you're a long term guy.
Makes sense but I think there are still non-day traders that are also reactive in the daily movements of BTC. It is only normal here in the BTC/crypto world because BTC is like the face of it and it would be weird already if people don't talk about it often. It might seem that people already forgot about BTC or give less importance to it. Correction is healthy but some doesn't like it. Correction is still not worse as the dip because price will just recover easily. It doesn't need the help of a good news or something. This makes people to not even react to it. Market movements doesn't have a single way. Even if there is a bull or a bear run, there are still volatilities along the way.

It's going to be bad for tennis if their number 1 player are going to be suspended, and if I'm not mistaken, he could be out for 1 to 2 years. And that will not look good for him, but still though, he was found positive not just once, but twice.

So let's see, it's very hard decision to make for the body to suspend it, but rule is the rule and so they will have to implement it regardless of who the player is. Similar in boxing, when Ryan Garcia was tested positive and he was ban for 1 year. Although his suspension is going to be lift this April.

But it's totally different for tennis player as they usually play the whole year. As compare to boxers, with only 1 or 2 fights a year.
In recent time few serious controversies create concerns in Tennis because ITF is using double standards for players which are never been good if someone is guilty of having wrong then surely he deserved to be punished as other sports organizations are doing for these subsequent.

Tennis can lose its charisma if they fail to bring transparency because rule and laws are always equal for all and implemented for better future of game Sinner is done mistake so he deserved to be punished as they have done with other players but most chances nothing will happen like this and Federation will bring middle way for keeping their best player on track safely.

Rockets on their match today is a little shaky because they are just following the rythm of Kings. They don’t have a good defense on first half. They just awaken on the 4th quarter when it’s already too late but nice game to watch.
To be fair Fred Vanvleet was missing, and that looked like the biggest difference maker for Rockets. While I know he is not the top scorer for the team, he is definitely a good playmaker and spreads the floor very well too, so losing him definitely hurt their chances and that's why they didn't win. Obviously they didn't suck or played terrible, if they started the game a bit better then they would have been better, but defensively they weren't that great neither, 132 points isn't good, it looks alright because they scored 127 compared to that, but they should have better defense at least.

I can see them getting better without a doubt, we are talking about a huge deal here and because of that I am not really seeing how things could change with one game, they will be fine and will be in playoffs and they will probably do alright. They don't have any playoff experience with this squad, so it is going to be fun for them to have a better squad without a doubt.
