YAS.BET kampanja je danas iznenada zatvorena, a casino je prekinuo daljnju suradnju s voditeljem kampanje.

unfortunately I've to announce that I've received input from the owner to close campaign. We end our cooperation.

Prema informaciji iz njihove ANN teme, YAS.BET trenutno traži novog menadžera pa pretpostavljam da će se kampanja nastaviti u budućnosti. @Trofo @cryptofrka možete mu se javiti na PM ako ste zainteresirani.


Hvala ti na obavijesti, kao i na preporuci u threadu. Upravo istražujemo Yas.bet i ako prođe kontrolu vjerojatno ćemo se javiti. Kampanja im je bila užasna i nije ni čudo da nisu ništa postigli s njom.

Koliko sam ubrao, to je nekakva perzijska kladionica. Mislim da bi čak i mogli biti legit, vidim da recimo traže full KYC već prilikom registracije.

Super, drago mi je vidjeti da ti i Trofo postajete ozbiljni igrači i polako planirate preuzimati nove kampanje.
Samo tako dalje.

Chelsea had a very bad start to the season in both the English Championship and the Champions League, and after two rounds they were last in their Champions League group.
With the new coach, they are finally playing at the expected high level and I expect them to be first in the group.
I also expected Milan to be second in the group without problems, but they played below their level and are in a very difficult situation.
In the first game, they were very lucky against Dinamo and if they lose today in Zagreb, which would not be a surprise, they will no longer have a chance to qualify for the knockout phase of the Champions League.
I think we can expect a very open and uncertain match in Zagreb.


Dinamo Zagreb - Milan match was completely one-sided. The statistics might be misleading because it shows like Dinamo Zagreb had many goal attempts. They had actually but nearly all of them were just about weak shots. Milan just dominated the whole match. They wasted so many absolute goal chances also. This score would have been like 7-0 or 8-0 maybe.

Thanks to Chelsea's 2-1 win over Salzburg last night, Milan are above Salzburg by one point now. It is all in Milan's hands now to stay like that. Because their last match is going to be against Salzburg home. To tell the truth, Salzburg are tougher to beat than Dinamo Zagreb. But Milan can still make use of their great form and qualify for next round this time.

I agree with you.
Dinamo played a very bad game, far below the level they showed in the games against Chelsea and Salzburg, and they deservedly lost.
It seems that the main problem of the Dinamo players was fatigue, because the same players play all the matches in the national championship and the Champions League, and the coach obviously has no confidence in the reserve players.
Dinamo now has only one hope left, that Chelsea will send a reserve team against Dinamo in the last round of the group, given that they have already secured first place in the group and a big derby in the English league is waiting for them.
If Dinamo beat Chelsea in the last round of the group and Salzburg lost to Milan, then Dinamo would win third place in the group and continue the competition in the European league.
The question is how realistic this scenario is.
1003  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 25, 2022, 12:33:01 PM
People are saying that it will be enough for Chelsea to get one point against Salzburg to guarantee their qualification from the group. It is really the most likely thing to happen today. Milan are in a very complicated condition in the group so they must get a win over Dinamo Zagreb to get into a better position to qualify. Milan should be able to defeat them one way or another. I don't expect them to have the same fate with last season which they were out of the Champions League in the group stage already.

On the other hand Chelsea would like to consolidate their lead also. Because if they win against Salzburg today then they are guaranteeing to finish the group as leader without looking at whether Milan win or not. Salzburg are a tough team to beat indeed as Chelsea couldn't do it in Stamford Bridge. However this time maybe they can do this by a gap of one goal.

Nismo željeli ograničavati ljude koji vole pisati u lokalu pa ga djelomično priznajemo ali naravno da ćemo prvo filtrirati prema tome koliko su ljudi aktivni u sekcijama koje su od najvećeg interesa za Livecasino.

Ne bi vjerovali koliko u gamblingu ima užasnih postera, da se slackovic samo malo aktivira i tamo i napiše 2 posta dnevno, našao bi kampanju za 2 tjedna. Kvragu, mi bi ga vjerojatno prvi uzeli.

Kužim da je to nekom naporno al stvarno je jedan od lakših načina za gurnuti 500 kn tjedno u kripto investicije.

Uostalom u zadnjih mjesec dana ionako jedva da imam vremena za pisanje po forumu. Možda za par tjedana kad se stiša ludnica na poslu napišem dva-tri posta tjedno u Gamblingu ali za sad teško.

Osim toga, mislim da bi i ja u Gamblingu bio jedan od tih užasnih postera jer me tema uopće ne zanima pa mogu pisati samo gluposti. Ne znam... Vidjet ću kad se malo oslobodim od posla.

1009  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar - UEFA Qualifiers on: October 23, 2022, 12:59:26 PM
It remains a strange idea that we will not see the reigning European Champion Italy at the world championship. But it will happen anyway. Portugal is not a bad team either. Qatar is brimming with confidence, they are reigning Asian champions, but they are no match for the violence from Europe. Lewandowsky can also show how good he is at the World Cup in Qatar. I don't see Poland winning of course, but maybe they can knock out a favorite with Lewandowsky in the ranks. If I could choose an outsider, I would go for Croatia or the Netherlands.

I'm also sorry that we won't see Italy again at the World Cup, after they became European champions.
For such a football nation not to participate in the World Cup twice in a row is a great disaster and failure.
Ronaldo is currently in a big game crisis, but the Portugal team is still very good and can make a good result at the World Cup.
I don't think Lewandowski will be able to help the Polish team much, and I believe that my Croatian team will play a good world championship again, especially after a very good performance in the league of nations this year.
I think the Netherlands and Belgium could be good at this World Cup and achieve a very good result.
1010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The UEFA Nations League 2020/2021 Discussion Thread on: October 23, 2022, 12:49:37 PM
Thank you for the kind words about my national team.  Cheesy
Croatia already played in the final at the last World Cup 2018 in Russia and unfortunately lost in the final to France. We were also third in the world in 1998, so we are already used to the good performances of our national team at the biggest competitions.
Croatia also played well in the League of Nations this year, beating France and Denmark away from home and winning first place in the group.
For a long time, Croatia is not only Modric, but also Kovacic from Chelsea, Brozovic from Inter, Stanisic from Bayern, Perisic from Tottenham etc.
We had a short crisis after the World Cup in Russia 2018, but again we have a very good team and we are ready for great results  Grin
Portugal in final? Why not?  Grin

Croatia has a great team, especially with Modric in it. You have every right to be proud of your national team.

They have a great coach along with a well-balanced team that has strength, both speed and power, defense ability, and good goalkeeper. They played very well in the last World Cup and if they can play again in the same way, I think Croatia will be a strong team to look out for at the World Cup in Qatar, regardless of the fact that some of their players are aging and some young players are still inexperienced in international tournaments. But still, their team is filled with players who play for some of the best clubs in Europe, which makes them a dangerous opponent for any team that they meet on the field. I think Croatia can definitely make it to the quarterfinals and maybe even beyond that!


Thanks, I agree with you!  Grin
In fact, I think that Croatia today is a very good combination of experience and youth.
On the one hand, older and experienced players like Modric, Brozovic, Kovacic, Perisic, and on the other, young and talented players like Orsic, Guardiol, Sosa, Stanisic, Livaja...
I think we have a very well balanced team, strong in all positions in the team and I think we can expect great results again at the World Cup.
Final again? Why not?  Grin
Croatia has a very good team, but I think they can't really compete with other big teams like Brazil, that's in world cup, and even in nations league their mission will be so hard, I'm keeping an eye on Netherlands, they the favorites in my eyes, they have a really good squad too and their results are crazy as well.

I wouldn't really agree with you.
Just a few years ago we were second in the world, do you remember?
This year, we won the first place in our group of the League of Nations after we beat both France and Denmark away from home, which are among the top 10 national teams in the world according to the FIFA ranking.
Why do you think that Croatia can't compete equally for the title of world champion with Brazil, France and other national teams at this world cup?  Grin
I agree, the Netherlands is a very good national team, but I give Belgium, Spain and France more chances.
1011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: October 23, 2022, 12:43:06 PM
Several clubs such as Bayern, Napoli, Man City and PSG have already confirmed themselves to qualify for the next round of the Champions League, because with two matches remaining these clubs will not be eliminate from each group.
While representative from Laliga Barcelona and Atlético Madrid are still struggling to qualify for the last 16, Inter and Milan are also in a similar situation.

As much as it was expected that Bayern, Manchester City and PSG will dominate their groups and relatively easily advance to the knockout phase of the Champions League, Barcelona's very poor performance in the Champions League this season is so unexpected.
I expected that with new players like Lewandowski and a new coach, they would be much better and fight for the title of European champion again.
Instead, it is almost certain that for the second season in a row they will not be able to make it to the knockout stage of the Champions League and will continue to compete in the Europa League, which is a big disappointment for all their fans and a huge financial loss for such a club.
Milan decides its fate in the match against Dinamo in Zagreb and if it wins, it will almost certainly continue the competition in the knockout phase of the Champions League.
1012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: October 23, 2022, 12:31:33 PM
Only one month left for 2022 world cup to start, i must say i have big hope that it going to be most of successful version of it this year in Qatar with all the money they spent and the cool features of the stadiums and hotels. Beside we saw new players this year shining and they are going to represent their countries and play with full power. This version i must say that Brazil has more chances to win it but let’s wait and see and enjoy
This may be the most expensive tournament (both in terms of money and human lives) in the history of the FIFA World Cup. Qatar is splurging billions of USD to showoff their wealth, and thousands of laborers lost their lives while constructing the stadiums. And this is also the first world cup after a long time where European teams are not favorites to win the trophy. Most of the sportsbooks are having Brazil and Argentina as the clear favorites. The reigning champions (France) are not even among the top-3.
@Sithara007 anyone caring about this lost of lives and money which is spending for this all its usual business for these peoples those are main players they never care about human life of things which are going to happen during this mega event because all human rights activates are already filled with FIFA officials are also counting money which is already in their pockets we are eagerly waiting for the start of event and many others are also counting their profit which is coming after the end of this event but which lose their lives and their families which are suffering surely can't do anything just silence and the worst future waiting for these kids because we all know how life is in subcontinent after losing your head which is doing hard work for you abroad, and suddenly you have news he is already lost his life.

In spite of the fact that we all know how wealthy Qatar is as a nation, they are now displaying it through the meticulously built stadiums and hotels they have constructed solely for the world cup. It seems to me that this season, all the teams can be divided into three categories based on their performance.
1- The most favorite to win, are teams like Brazil, Argentina, etc.
2- The least favorite to win, who are there just o 'play'.
3- The rest of the teams fall under the category of average teams.

As a result, we will probably see a very competitive world cup & matches, where the results will be determined by which team performs best on any given matchday.

I agree with you.
Football is not equally developed in all countries and several countries, with a larger base of quality players and a greater football tradition, are always favorites for the title of world champion.
Big soccer nations such as Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, England, Spain etc. definitely fall into this category.
However, the difference in quality between top South American and European teams and teams from other continents, especially Asia, North America and Africa, is slowly decreasing and soon the number of national teams fighting for the title of world champion will be much higher.

Joj ti šupci ili neki slični me zovu već godinama, nepogrešivo barem jednom svaka 2 mjeseca. Na početku sam čak znao i pričati s njima neko vrijeme da vidim šta hoće onda sam ih jedno vrijeme zajebavao, ono u stilu hoću poslati investiciju u USDT ali nemam ETHa za transakciju pa neka oni meni pošalju.... Sada samo prekinem i blokiram broj. Problem je što svakih mjesec dva promjene brojeve i onda ispočetka. Ako ne blokiram broj onda zovu svakih par dana pa je to moj zaključak. Samo mi nije jasno di su mi pobrali broj mobitela, pazim na takve stvari ali očito su ga od negdje iskopali.

Pa gdje si upisao broj telefona da dođu do njega? Mene (srećom) još nitko nije zvao. Zapravo mi je zanimljivo da mene nitko ne zove, a telefon mi je davno prije bio dostupan online (možda je i sad, nisam provjeravao) jer sam se, budala, kao klinac prijavio da mi broj bude online i za to sam dobio 25 kuna na bon Grin S druge strane žena nikad nije nigdje prijavila da joj telefon bude u online imeniku i stvarno nije, a stalno ju zovu s kojekakvim ponudama.

Vjerujem da postoje i neke firme koje prodaju podatke svojih korisnika, ili podaci naprosto procure, budu hakirani a ne žele to reći zbog reputacijske štete.
Postoji i onaj neki registar ''ne zovi'' ako se dobro sjećam i ako se tamo prijaviš, ne smiju te zvati.
Međutim, to naravno važi za legit firme a ne za ove druge padobrance, koji nisu nigdje ni registrirani.

Some good news coming in.

German legend Philipp Lahm (captain of the world cup winning team of 2014) has stated that he will boycott Qatar 2022.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/sportsnews/article-11095127/Philipp-Lahm-plans-BOYCOTT-World-Cup-Qatar.html

I am happy that at least some of the footballers view human rights as more valuable then all the money power which Qatar can offer. The human rights issue was swept under the carpet when FIFA awarded Qatar hosting rights for the world cup in 2010. But now more and more players are speaking against this issue. And also, it is reported that hotels in Qatar are refusing to accept room reservations for LQBTQ couples. When Gareth Southgate spoke against this, Nasser Al Khater tried to intimidate him.

It's a shame that a wonderful sport like football, in its greatest competition, is going to be filled with controversies outside of the field.

It's such a strange place to host the world cup, we'll see how it goes, but it already has a lot of controversies happening, and it's not even started yet.

Hopefully the focus is on the matches and not on the events happening outside of the field.

This is nothing new when it comes to football. Weren't the former heads of FIFA and UEFA, Platini and Blatter, in prison on charges of corruption.
Many independent journalists and investigators have already repeatedly accused FIFA and UEFA of corruption, especially in connection with the awarding of the hosting of the 2018 World Cup to Russia and 2022 to Qatar.
Football has long passed from the romantic phase to the money-making phase.

I wouldn't really compare South Korea and Japan with Qatar, because Korea and Japan have a much longer football tradition, they have invested much more in football, and they have a much larger population and a much larger football base.
Just look at their results in the last world cups, Korea and Japan often make it to the knockout stages of world cups and achieving great results.
Ok, it seems that Qatar is currently achieving good results in friendly matches, but does anyone seriously think that they would have qualified for this World Cup if they did not have the direct right to participate as hosts?
No, of course. No one holding that illusion. Before, Qatar isn't on the same level as some of the MENA teams in the region. If not for the host right, they wouldn't even pass against other strong teams like Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia. Qatar recently got good only because of the massive preparation for this World Cup. They got a lot of new players under their national team, buying and transferring left and right just for the stake to put up a good face as a host. I'm damn sure after this World Cup is over, Qatar will fall back to its place, behind stronger teams in MENA. Money can only buy them some temporary victories before and a bit after this World Cup.
I will also jump the bandwagon of people saying NO, and if I could swap them for another team then I would have gladly use it to bring back Italy. Furthermore do you’ll think that it’ll be a nice opportunity to make some quick bucks while wagering against them, and even though I’m expecting super low odds I yet feel that we can earn some good bucks on their matches if we get lucky.
I'm also sorry that Italy didn't qualify for the World Cup again. It+s really a tragedy that we will not see such a great team, the current champion of Europe, at the World Cup, and on the other hand, Qatar will play at the World Cup thanks to the fact that they are the hosts of the championship.
On the other hand, Qatar will certainly be a very interesting betting option at this world championship  Grin
I'm really interested in what will happen next with the Qatar team, in the next competitions after this world cup and how successful they will be in terms of results.

I really hope that the authorities of Qatar football realize that this is not just a revenue stream through which they will be able to make money. I hope they realize that they have a really good chance of showing the world what they can do in football. There should not only be a focus on getting money from this world cup, but also on having some people looking for really skilled players in Qatar as a result of this world cup. And I expect that the people of Qatar will also be very interested in football after this world cup happens.

It does feel sad that Italy did not qualify for the world cup. But I think that's okay. They are a capable team and they probably deserved to play in the world cup, but nothing can be done now.

I would like to think of football as something noble, but the reality is different.
Romantic football, in which money was not important, and clubs like Steaua or Crvena zvezda could be champions of Europe, lasted until 1991, when the Champions League started and profit became the most important thing.
It is clear that the main reason why Qatar's leaders decided to organize this world championship is solely for profit, and everything else, including sports motives, are irrelevant and that is the reality.
I believe that many neutral football fans are sorry that we will not see Italy again in this World Cup, but that is the reality and nothing can be changed.

My bet is also between Brazil and Argentina.
I believe that Brazil has a better chance of winning the world cup, because even without a team of great stars (let's face it, Neymar is not doing so well), it's a young team that has actually played very well (undefeated). in all the qualifiers and friendlies in which he participated.

I really expect things, but I'm more inclined to tell you, that Argentina will come out as world champions, if I look at the many complementary players that Argentina have at the moment, it's not that Brazil doesn't have great players, but I look from The side of the game that Argentina has is more superior than Brazil, that's why I dare to say that, because we know that maybe this could be the last World Cup title for Messi who is not young anymore, surely Messi will make his way of parting with Indah and at the end his career..


In any case, I see that France is also a team with a lot of potential to reach the final.... let's watch carefully.

Speaking of France, I don't think France will qualify for the round of 16 in this year's world cup, because of the curse that has been believed until now, by many people around the world talking about it.

As an example :

1: Brazil won the World Cup in 2002 (Korea/Japan), did not qualify in the last 16 when the World Cup in Germany in 2006.
2: Italy won the 2006 World Cup (Germany), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
3: Spain won the 2010 World Cup (South Africa), did not qualify for the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
4: Germany won the World Cup in 2014 (Brazil), did not qualify for the last 16 at the World Cup in Russia in 2018.
5: France won the World Cup in 2018 (Russia), Will France break the curse of the 2022 World Cup this year, from what I have already mentioned?Huh?

It is just history and nothing else.
We have had many examples in history when national teams won the World Cup twice in a row, such as Brazil or even earlier Italy.
These are all interesting historical examples, but they will not mean much at this current world cup in Qatar.
The world champion will be the team that is the most prepared and the best, regardless of history.
France belongs to the narrowest circle of favorites for the title of world champion and I expect that they will make it to the knockout phase of the world championship without any problems. Any other result would be a huge surprise.

Milan are going to play two crucial matches from now on. The first one is against Dinamo Zagreb away and the second one is a home match against Salzburg. Milan actually have the strength to defeat both of them no matter where the matches are played. As they got two defeats by Chelsea, Salzburg have got ahead of them by 2 points. Milan will need to improve their effort much more to secure the second position.

As you remember Milan were shockingly out of the Champions League and Europa League both last season as they finished the group at the last position. This is a much easier group compared to that time. Therefore the board must be expecting Pioli not to fail in qualifying from the group. I believe Milan will make a good start by defeating Dinamo Zagreb and 1.84 is a great odd to benefit from.

At the beginning of this season, I also expected that Chelsea and Milan would be the favorites in this group, but that has not happened so far and everything is still open in this group of the Champions League.
Chelsea started to play much better with the new coach and I expect them to be the first in this group at the end.
All three remaining clubs, Salzburg, Milan and Dinamo, have equal chances for second place.
The match between Dinamo and Milan will most likely decide which of the two teams will remain in the race for second place in the group.
Dinamo always plays very well in Zagreb, much better than away from home and so far they beat Chelsea and drew with Salzburg.
In Milan, Dinamo played a very good game and was very close to winning a point.
That's why I don't think that Milan will be the favorite in the match with Dinamo and I predict either a win for Dinamo or a draw.

Even if they beat both bayern and plzen that dosent mean they will qualify. Inter just needs a win to qualify and they have to win against Plzen that is too weak in this group. So Barcelona o most 99% goes to europe league and another bad year for them. Even with all the signings they cant do anything
Let's see how this scenario happens, I'm really curious about how Barcelona's struggle ended in the group stage. Regardless they lose or win in the next 2 matches, then I hope they will not feel weak not to fight and give up all that because of the circumstances. Nothing is impossible even if 99% of you think Inter will qualify for the next round compared to Barcelona. The decision will be in the next 2 matches, so now both still have a chance.
Barcelona will need a miracle for Plzen to win over Inter and that is just another hurdle to overcome, they also need to win against unbeaten Bayern before an easy task to beat Plzen. But this is an obvious setback for the career of Lewandowski, to lose their position to Inter. Lewandowski is 34 years old and is expecting better days at Barcelona that might finally earned him a Ballon.
But I will not call Barcelona weak yet. After suffering numerous problems Xavi managed to rebuild the team and here they are contending for the Spanish trophy. They will grind hard to win La Liga if they are going to Europa. 

It won't be difficult for Barcelona to win against Plzen. Barcelona's performances against weaker teams are always good. And since Plzen's attack is not strong. So even if Barcelona's defense is weak, they won't face too many problems. I think both Lewandowski and Raphinha will be able to score against Plzen. And indeed Xavi should learn from previous matches. and solving his team's weaknesses. I still believe the Barcelona team will be able to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

Barcelona's win against Victoria is the least of Barcelona's problems right now and no one doubts that.
Barcelona must also beat Bayern and that will be much more difficult to do because Bayern are currently playing better and have a better team.
Even if Barcelona manage to do so, winning both of their remaining games, they still depend on other results in their group.
I'm almost sure that Inter will not miss the opportunity to beat Victoria and that's where the story for Barcelona this season in the Champions League will be over, in the same way as last season.
It's also the most likely scenario in this Champions League group.
