Odds on Dortmund winning Champions League is amazing, but I just cant see Carlo Ancelotti missing a chance to win another big trophy with Real Madrid.

To be honest, I think that 1.65 on Real to win in regular time is free money.
I hope the odds will stay like this closer to the game as well, if they will, I'll bet big on it. Don't want to now because I hate playing a ticket that settles in 2 weeks.

In a league game I'd say Borussia might be able to surprise but in a high stakes game like thisit will be all Madrid once again.



Well I think 1.65 is very little odd for a final and if it was free money then I am sure the high rollers in any casino would play huge stakes on Real Madrid being the Champions of Champions League,I can see other people bets and maybe we are early but I don't see so many people backing Real Madrid so early as of now.I think that the odd would be nice to be near 2 for Real and for a final 1.90 is the ideal odd format and the others 3.30,so Real 1.90 and Dortmund 3.30 would make the perfect odds.I know that many think Real will be Champions,I think it too,I only don't think it would be that easy.

In Imola, even though it was only practice, things are looking very good for Ferrari. It will be interesting to see if Ferrari can break the dominance of Verstappen and RedBull with their many new updates. But I won't be placing my bet on SuperBru until tomorrow.

Ferrari brought the update and the results can be seen.
Ferrari's problem on this track could be Mclaren.

It seems like a two-way fight between Ferrari and Mclaren but NEVER underestimate max, he will definitely be among the top positions fighting.

This is also good for the pool here as if I see the practice of tomorrow morning before the official qualifying with the same type of results this mean that most of us in the pool will not go for a Max,Sergio one two and Leclerc,Sainz three four there,also we have McLaren and it also looks like Mercedes is bringing some signs of life here.

I think tomorrow the race can be won by Ferrari if they start from the front row and Max starts seventh or eighth from the grid,a good strategy can maximize even an one two finish by Ferrari that I don't know from how long is not happening.

This season was not normal,Inter dominated it completely leaving no room for any other team to try and get back to them,they have already 92 points which is a great amount of points scored equaling to near 30 victories this season and a couple of draws for that total amount.The fact that their closest opponent is 18 points behind,meaning if there were another 6 weeks and Inter lost them all and Milan won them all,it would be on the same points,this shows how disbalanced the Serie A was this season,we are not used a lot of times to such differences from the top team with the other teams,it showed that the other teams clearly need to invest money into their teams otherwise Inter will keep winning again and again.

To me it is just a matter of understanding. If the post Ph understand themselves and know when to gamble and know when not to gamble do the writing at the right time it will really help them on managing their home because gambling is something that can cause a lot of problems and a lot of debts if you are gambling addict so it is always possible if they understand itself, and in the other hand, if they lack understand it, they will be much problem between them because it will be a very big risk to their home management

Both spouses can easily combine work, household, child rearing, gambling and other entertainment, if they have a desire to have a strong family and they are responsible people. If they are not, they will find problems without gambling, because we know many stories when spouses who have never been into gambling, divorce, have problems with outstanding debts, etc. Everything depends on the spouses themselves and their goals, not on gambling.

It all depends on the objectives they have as a family.If they want their bank account to grow for example they should come down to the same point that is,quit gambling and every money they want to allocate for gambling to deposit them in their recurring bank account and this way they will have more money than usual because they would have quit the gambling money.Now to do this is extremely difficult and that is why as a start they can begin by playing like 100 to 50 dollars a month,getting this sum down every time they gamble until it remains small like 5-10 dollars for fun and then quit completely.That is a good way of getting rid of gambling issues and looking after your family in a better way.

Thanks for your words guys!

Yes i play in every single pool, and in everyone im always in the fight for paid positions but is my first time after 3 season having this trouble, i always ended up in a better way than my start but now is a total shit in every single pool.

Well shit happens, lets make a step in front and prepare for Euro last man standing   Wink

I used to be like that in the previous season yet in the last one I won double the entry fee exactly in this pool here last year.In this season I will get at least near 400 dollars if I screw it up really big in the final game of the Champions League pool or if I stay like this a nice over 700 dollars prize which would be the highest I have won from a pool.I am also relatively well in the F1 pool and I expect to hit the top 5 there too although even the last prize spot is good as long as you get money in the end,so don't give up,never and that Last Man Standing sound like fun yet I only like traditional pools that is why am not interested there.

Most people do not take loses that easily and just forget about it.They get mad and don't accept that they just lost,especially when it is about money they want to come back and get back what they lost,they never think that they will lose again yet this is what happens most of the time,a few people that win big and post it in the chats of the casinos or on youtube/twitch online streaming services make other people want to comeback for more and win back what they lost dreaming about that max win.This makes it even worse as they are not fully concentrated and only think about getting the max win while they are losing again money.

I really hope to see a good race, but my expectations are low because this track is very boring and only is fun for the drivers who like to drive there because they said is like a karting track, but for us is a very tricky race and one where the spots to overtake are very low. Maybe some Safety car can bring emotion.

I don't think that the Imola race will be a boring race, because I want to see how the upgrade from Ferrari will be in this race and how the rain might be challenged, because it is predicted that rain will occur during the race. This will be a race that is really worth watching, because we can see how McLaren has also improved their performance and Red Bull is starting to lose their dominance. I'm quite excited about the race, especially since this race will take place at 7pm in my country, so the timing is perfect for me.

I think that the race will be exactly beautiful for those reasons.I hope that just some drop of rains makes it even more interesting to watch as this track is legendary and super technical,the driver if given a near equal car can make a huge difference in this track so that Ferrari upgrade we all talk about in the right hands of the best driver of Ferrari which no is not Leclerc but the guy who is leaving at the end of the season can make wonders,so let's see if also Sainz get the upgrades and what type of driving to expect from him as for McLaren I know they work day and night and have brought the car from miseries to victories lately.
108  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Be careful with people's money on: May 16, 2024, 05:48:18 PM
There is another one that I read today that people thought he ran away with people's money but he later confessed that he lost it to gambling. It is about a solana-based cypher developer, he confesses that he lost $300K of user funds to gambling.

this shouldn't always be shifted to gambling to be honest. He could have squandered the money with whichever way he chooses to buy it's just that for this context, he chooses to use it to gamble. People need to understand that any money that's not your own should be kept for the purpose for which the money got into your hands. You can't be too smart when it comes to using people's money. There is some sort of spirit that's associated with people's money. Sometimes you can use your money to gamble and wouldn't loose it but when it comes to other people's money, it's always strange how it goes off in no time.

If you aren't ready to gamble responsibly most expecially when it has to do with people's money, you should reconsider quiting entirely.

It's because the temptation on gambling is for real, everyone is going to be affected and by suckered and the lure of the potential to win big. I just watched a documentary on Netflix about the Centra founder and how he lost the last $100k of their money into gambling and that he almost want to kill himself after that. And so this story is not the first team and again, it's tempting to put someone's money into gambling because you are thinking that you can double it and as the same time have some fun. But the big question is what happens after you lose everything? It will take a lot of mental toll on the individual and just like the documentary that I watch he contemplate suicide, but at least he snapped from it when he did talk to people close to him.

That is the last level of addiction,believing you can double anyone money that is not yours,no matter how close to you the person or entity is gambling these persons or entities funds is something not acceptable.Usually people have ended up just like this guy except that they have been having more dramatic consequences,they killed themselves,quite some of them as they didn't bear the shame of such happening and losing all of such funds into gambling.

I would never borrow money to gamble or even worse using this money without permission except money that is mine,I can lose every single penny that is mine trying to hit it big but never with anyone else money as history has shown us that 99.99% of cases end really bad.
109  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Casino Community Service Possible? on: May 16, 2024, 02:09:27 PM
I have been wondering if ever any casino have engaged in a community service before or planning to do so. So far, I understand that casinos pay taxes and these tax are used by the government for running the state affairs but I was curious to know if it is possible because I have never seen it or heard about any casino doing such before or if any have started doing it. You can make it known here for us to see.

If this step is taken to render community service by casinos, it would make a difference and that casino would forever be recorded in the book of history to have done such or joined the list of the few casinos to have done such if any have really done that before.

If you think this is not a new thing or there are casinos doing this, you could please drop the link here or material or facts for us to see for ourselves and applaud the casino for that singular act of theirs.

This depends mostly on the owner mindset and most owners of reputable casinos do not care much for community service from what I have seen up until now.They only like to fatten their pockets and fortune and as long as they achieve it they are OK with such achievement.I know that if these types of such casinos get to bring something else beside taxes to the government to the community as they surely can afford to do it,would be great for that community.

Yes, that's right, that's the real gambling game. where we can enjoy the game without having to think about losing. as you said, you both lost $50 but there was satisfaction in playing. It's different from losing $50 in one spin, it will cause psychological disorders because that kind of money feels like a lot and it's hard to lose it.

Maybe for some people $50 is not a lot, but for me it's a lot of money definitely. That's why I'm so happy when I win $50 while betting with only $0.10. I bet people who bet $500 with 90% win chance and win $50 because of the 1.1x multiplier don't feel that way. They deprive themselves of that great feeling when a stroke of luck of that caliber is on their side. I don't understand why they gamble at all. What's the joy of winning with 90% win chance?

That is a dangerous way of playing spending a lot of money with over 90% chance and sometimes it does not even work.Yesterday someone placed a huge bet live on 85th minute Brighton vs Chelsea under 2.5 goals with an odd of 1.25 and that game lost losing this person quite a lot of money,namely about 6000 dollars,imagine if those 6000 dollars was played with 2-5 dollars bet on a slot machine like Le Bandit for example and hit an 10000x multiplier,that is 20000 to 50000 dollars and the fun of playing longer than live betting on soccer.

Imola track is a place Verstappen is successful on. There aren't many tracks on which he isn't successful though.  Tongue  He is the winner of the 2021 and 2022 races here. However as you also indicated there wasn't a race here last year unfortunately because of the floods. But this time thankfully it doesn't look like we will see the same incident.

Still there is rain probability on race time. It can make the race more exciting for us truthfully. Hamilton is a rain master but unluckily he has a slow car.  Sad

I expect a Ferrari podium this week thanks to the upgrades they are bringing. But will it be with both cars? We will see.

I forgot about the upgrades and it is not that important if both cars or just one of them is getting the fully upgraded package,what is important is to notice on track during the race that it is making a difference and that it can make the race more beautiful to watch.Both Ferrari drivers are still mathematically in place to fight for becoming Champions,as are some other drivers as well,as long as upgrades keep bringing real increased performance it is nice for all these drivers.
112  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your slices Luck that would have made you millionaire in gambling? on: May 16, 2024, 10:23:26 AM
I've come across this several times but most times I feel maybe I've enemies, fighting me not to survive in life but i noticed that it's a game of luck. First one day I predict a game earlier this week the odds were perfect for it to enter. My games were going so well i stake $1000 then total refunds it was about $10,000 i kept on praying in my mind, it was just one game for me remaining then all of a sudden i fell asleep on the process. While I wake up to check my game the last game ended me up with a cry 😭, i took the risk cause a friend of mine took the same risk now he his a millionaire because of one slice luck made him who he his today. And what I understand is that if you really want to be a millionaire through gambling, you only have to increase in your amount that you stake the higher the amount the richer you can in a minutes. I don't know for yours, what's yours?
This mindset is very unreasonable and very ridiculous. If you are a gambling place developer then you can say "You want to get rich from gambling" because that is the business you own, but for us gambling users we will never get the opportunity to become a millionaire from gambling.

Maybe not millionaires but I have seen people hitting like 6.7 Bitcoin winning the max win on Sweet Bonanza with a nice high bet and we all know how rare this is.That amount is not small and it is near half million dollar amount which in many countries can be called a huge life changing event,even in developed countries it can give a huge boost as it can pay the mortgage and make someone credit free.Good luck though on hitting such a nice max win,that is the highest I have witnessed with my own eyes.

Chelsea is impressing anyone in the last part of the season and I am very happy about this,so how many games they have won,it has been quite a lot and this last one against Brighton tonight in Brighton home just highlights their perfect form.As I said before it must be because the players are enjoying football and playing without any added pressure,no one forced them or expected them to get a place in European competitions although the club management would be happy about it,yet they got and got there,what a wonderful ending to the season for them.The Premier League is over though and are these teams who are making these last weeks enjoyable,I enjoyed the game a lot tonight watching beautiful football.

Albon has signed a new contract with Williams and will be unusually very long until 2028.

I don't think I've ever seen such a long extension for a contract, certainly the driver must be very happy or not have much confidence in his qualities to be stuck in a medium-low level team for so many years.,



I think this is because Albon was at Redbull once and there he made many mistakes to be replaced by Gasly within a season,for me that was a bad judgement from Redbull as surely the qualities of Albon can be seen,he always beats his team mate in qualifying and am not talking about the actual team mate who is not that great of a driver,even great drivers he usually has managed to beat them,also sometimes against Verstappen if I remember correctly,so this is a guy that F1 and the teams (except Williams) has done wrong to him,that is why he rewards Williams with such a long term contract and surely he is expecting something good from Williams when the new regulations come.Williams is not winning since the times of Montoya and Ralf Schumacher.
115  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why People Naturally Chase loses in gambling.. on: May 15, 2024, 08:07:12 PM
Hi everyone,
Here actually is my finding on why people chase loses in gambling, do you know that it's natural for a gambler to chase after his or her loses? Well, if you don't know, now you know, it is natural in the sense that ; the desire is inbuilt, it is we ourselves that learn to put or subject the desire to our control, same way it is natural to feel bad when you lose a bet, but you can be happy if you choose to, and can control your emotion.

One of the reason why many gamblers naturally chase after their lose is due to one thing that is built into every game known as the "near miss effect", after every loss, a near miss effect makes our brain believe that a win is very close, and this automatically makes the player to keep playing and playing, even while he or she is losing, his or her brain convinces itself that a jackpot is just around the corner, this makes the player keep playing until he or she discovers that his or her bankroll is empty, this is when anger and regret usually sets in, you begin to feel like you were not really yourself all that time you were gambling, like you were hypnotized or something, and you only regained consciousness of yourself when you have already gambled all your money away.

This has happened to me few times, and from it, I've leant to always be conscious of myself and my decisions while gambling, making sure I do not allow my brain to deceive me into believing that my losses is because a win is around the corner, making me to gamble way more than I've planned to.

So, from your own understanding, what do you think makes people chase loses aside greed which I believe many of us are already familier with?.

I think the thing that make most people go after gambling including me,is the fact that they think they were so close and that maybe this next time will get them the right win.In fact I saw some guy winning like 0.37 Bitcoin in Le Bandit slot machine from Hacksaw exactly a few minutes a go that made me want to try so hard that game and I immediately lost like 50 dollars (750.000 IDR) playing with min bet 1000 IDR,a freakin addictive game to say the least with the bonus going so high but also super volatile game as in the beginning it gave me and over 550x multiplier in normal game and then I lost everything without even hitting the bonus a single time,my conclusion here is that when you want to play such slots play with a huge bankroll.This for me is the thing that makes most gamblers coming back.
116  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: May 15, 2024, 07:29:23 PM
I think it was Imola last season where things were flooded and they couldn't race there, right? Not sure if I remember it right but that does feel like it could be the possibility. I mean it is clear that we are going to end up with a result that would not be all that easy to handle if the rain is that high again.

Plus, FIA and F1 has been quite strongly against racing during very bad weather, it is not like back in the day, because back in the day we could have seen racers even in terrible conditions, but these days we are talking about much better racing, and a lot more safety. Meaning, if the rain is a lot, we have seen stuff like Belgium, and it looks like Imola will have some rain, not sure how much but I hope it won't be a lot like last year.

I'm looking at weather forecast and rain is expected on Sunday only and now it's shown in morning hours, not afternoon. So, I guess there is no danger for race. But if we will have rain during race, there is high chance of red flags, Imola doesn't looks like safest track to race in wet conditions.

In the season before this or 2 seasons ago there were the same kind of weather and that did not impact the race,well it impacted it really bad in fact as Charles Leclerc got a spin because of just a few rain drops in the track and he was pushing really really hard to keep the lead or to catch Verstappen,don't remember well know.If the same conditions are expected then it is going to be a good race to watch.I would love just those few drops of rain in such a legendary track,now also McLaren looks strong enough to go for another victory here,greatly depending on how good they qualify in the official qualifying session.I am very much looking forward to this race as one of the most beautiful of all seasons.

Who saw the press conference with David Moyes where he said they may not be able to stop City's under-14s on the final game? If they scale through Tottenham tomorrow I will count the league lost and I am not holding out huge hope for tomorrow either.

On Football facts; Arsenal deserves to win the league but for the sake of side bets and London sanity, I would rather have City win it every season.
You do not deserve to win a league you lost. The better team over 38 games wins the title, if that is City then they totally deserve to win it and we will be cheering them on for next season.

Typical Arsenal supporter mentality: giving up before it's over. You have yet to lose to a top six team this season and have already topped your team's all-time league win total; if that is not enough to win the league, you may never win it again. Everyone knows the mentality of the team and the fans, therefore no one expected you to win anything with these magnificent players.

Liverpool bottling a 3-1 lead - Klopp was right. He is already out of energy and can't wait for the league to end.

I think Liverpool has no extra motivation,they know that this season was lost and they are happy with a Champions League appareance.When you play in such conditions there is no real motivation to the players and also Klopp is already bored I assume otherwise he would not given the dimission from his post.It is funny for Aston Villa though,how an inconsistent of a team they are,they lose to Olympiacos from Greece league and go and get back after being 2 goals down to Liverpool.
118  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where are you hyper focus, online casinos or physical casinos on: May 14, 2024, 08:39:15 AM
I don't think there is a topic created about this, so I'm creating one.

Physical casinos do not have clocks or windows on the gaming floor, and they offer free drinks like wine energy drinks, and food so the gamblers will be hyper focused this is why gamblers spend hours without even knowing they have already spent, while online casinos offer free spins, rakeback, and cashback so you can continue to play to level up to enjoy these perks.

So between the two where are you more hyper-focused and how many hours do you spend on one compared to the other?

No ones cares about food or drinks nowadays,most people can go to the neighbor market buy what they like and gamble like kings in the comfort of your home.That is what I do,I buy snacks and energy drinks and enjoy my gambling session from my workstation in my studio at my home.I believe the majority to be like me and very few people to be still enticed more by offline casinos,maybe old school persons who find change difficult to embrace.I don't go to an offline casino since the distant year of 2007.
119  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do people lose in gambling and still go ahead and bet more? on: May 14, 2024, 08:01:20 AM
People cannot resist having fun, they don't even mind if it cost them money to be used to gamble, you will discover that while some gamblers are lamenting on losses from gambling, some are not seeing this as a challenge in any way because they have the money needed to gamble with and were not gambling with the mentality of making profits, which i think should be the primary reason why everyone as well should be gambling with such understanding.

I guess it is because of the adrenaline that gamblings give you,the adrenaline gets even bigger when the amount is increased.I know from personal experience that when the reels of the slots are spinning your heart beats faster and the feeling of being super hooked into it is great.Unfortunately this feeling ends as soon as the money and play is over and it becomes a feeling of sadness and regret,most people only realize this when they have lost.

This year we had a fairy tale in Italy too,it was Bologna who ended 3rd against all odds in the beginning of the season.They will reach the Champions League for the first time after 59 years and that is surely a huge achievement.This was overlooked in the major leagues as all focus was on Girona on Spain who happen to lead the league there for sometime.I think Bologna deserve more credit as I think the Serie A is more difficult as a league,I am not saying stronger,more difficult.
