1141  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: May 11, 2023, 11:10:37 PM
We have everything we need at our disposal; our only responsibility is to keep searching for the ones we're convenient with. We have a lot of current news all over the internet, and everything we solely targets is on the internet. We discover more useful methods of gaining complete access to information on the sports in which we are interested. Selecting out groups that publish and discuss more important sports topics, as well as providing solid information and statistics for games. Furthermore, that will make betting easier for both experienced and newbies.

I'm surprised he's asking such questions in the century that every information we need is at our disposal. Can't the OP visit YouTube, TikTok to watch videos or follow the social media channel that report on this sports to stay informed.

When I picked interest in tennis some years back, I started watching their matches both passed and current to understand the players abilities and how they play so it influence my decision of who to bet against when they play.

The OP could have just asked his relative that he went to visit and get the best advise provided the relative is good at boxing betting and have a good record of winning so he doesn't teach him wrongly.

That's also a good idea if there's someone who can understand the game you can ask some information especially those who really watching and monitoring the sports both teams or single kind of sports, you may gain knowledge from those people and you can get some good real-time update with the help of those ideas from people who follows the sports.

It's more on how you adopt and analyze the game and the venue that you using to update yourself.

The technology is quite advanced, so better to make a good use of every venue to update yourself aside from those real time followers, there are also information that surrounds the internet.

Gathering information from reliable sources is crucial in developing a better understanding for any discipline in fact. It's always important to be cautious of false information or biased opinions so for example reading in forums like Bitcointalk or even discussion boards on gambling can also be helpful in gaining insights from other people's experiences and perspectives.

It's important to be cautious when it comes to claims of casinos manipulating roulette or any other casino game. The truth is that casinos have measures in place to prevent cheating, and any attempts to manipulate may have legal consequences, or, at minimum, may make you loose your earning and have issues withdrawing money. Bear in mind the vast majority of roulette games are fair and operate based on random chance.
1143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 11, 2023, 11:03:57 PM
This is just the basics, but anyone should be aware of it:

Budget: set it BEFORE you start gambling and stick to it.
Have a break from time to time, it is important to let your brain stop and consider.
Avoid drugs / drink as much as possible, they will make you loose some control innevitably.
Seek help if you feel you are no longer in control. Make a phone call to a friend or go out and speak with someone.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like... read this post before gambling? Tongue
1144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamble Responsibly on: May 11, 2023, 10:58:38 PM
Those kind of people are called a gambling addict. I've been through there and my life is really messed up back then. Even if you are a gambling addict, treating it as a primary source of income is crazy. A gambler should have at least one source of income to continue the addiction they have. Having none is just like throwing up your life by getting others money just to gamble. A friend or family can help in reducing a gambling activities but it will all depends on the person. As I said I've been there an I received help before from my friends by diverting me but that doesn't stop me until I realized that myself. Don't get me wrong, the support of my friends really helped me realized it that made me change. I guess realizing it by yourself is a new level of matureness that can be earned as an ex-addict.

Gambling addicts like that are more able to stop because of support from the family environment. Likewise, when all capital is used up, assets are finally drained because of stupidity when they can't control themselves when playing.
luckily and i hope i will never be like that. I limit myself because before I really saw for myself how my brother was also destroyed because of gambling addiction. We can take lessons from other people's experiences without having to experience it ourselves. and it's good for everyone.

It is very useful to have people around to remember you what is important and what is just a silly game. If you feel you are going a bit over the line try to stop, and if you cannot it is the moment to call for someone to help you. Do not leave it, gaming and playing should be fun so avoid long sessions and going over your gambling budget at any time.
1145  Economy / Gambling / Re: Limited in every bookmaker on: May 11, 2023, 10:49:57 PM
And by dropping that single statement, you are risking your new account into getting banned. They limit your account activity because they see something in your activities that prompt them to limit your account. Maybe you're winning too much, or maybe you're just involved in some things that are not considered illegal but the bookies are losing a lot of money because of you. Whatever the reason is, once you bought an account or whatever it is that you offered in exchange of an account, you will still get limited because these bookies will already know it is due to the patterns of activities in your account.

There has to be something unusual to apply such a restrictive measures, you should be honest with yourself and figure out if you are really palying and acting as intended or if there is actually something unintentional that you may be doing that is causing a few red alerts in the site. If you honestly cannot find anything, contact the support and check what they are about on this one.

EDITED: There is some very strange news about columns of Ukrainian forces heading in Belgorod direction. And quite a few other indications of at least 5 attacks that are not happening at all, because the "counteroffensive" does not exist and the Ukrainian troops are just going for a stroll in the fields. Nothing to be concerned with my R|F trolls friends. Drink, celebrate and keep banging the keyboard.

An on Bismarck oh well,  his solution to "the problem" was a quite direct one. There is an ancient German saying (Sei mein Bruder, sonst schlage ich dir den Kopf ein) -  be my brother or I will bash your head". I can see no intention from the current RF government to be Germany's brother so....
Are you hinting that it was Russia who quarreled with Germany, and not vice versa, and these ten packages of sanctions generously sprinkled with Russophobic rhetoric are an unfortunate misunderstanding? Cute. Grin

We will take half of the Western money invested in Russia as a penalty for this misunderstanding, and then we will come to collect our money that you stole. And you have to apologize. This is how it works when you're trying to scam Russia. Try not to miss the opportunity to accept this generous offer.

I am not good at hinting. I am saying that the RF did not want to be friends by invading Ukraine and the Germans usually dislike that attitude. Both of them loose - guess who wins?

Blah, blah Russophobia, the West is bad and rest of excuses to invade... you forgot to add a couple of Nazis, threat to use nukes... you are getting old I guess.

On regards to taking other's money... well, you have already. It is called a sovereign default which the RF did about a year ago. Not half, but all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Russian_debt_default If you want to know what happens afterwards, ask Argentina (they may charge you for answering, they are in need).

What you can do is to take your money out of "occident" - take your money and find somewhere else to put it. Try the Ruble and RF bonds, I heard it is being accepted in at least 5 countries for payment. Just so you do not miss this in the translation: the RF money is where it is (outside the RF mainly and converted to USD) because it is the right option, not for generosity.

I have an even better suggestion: Put it in Chinesse bonds.. in Yuan. What could go wrong??

Dunno...maybe those people who got their "expensive beauty" frozen/stolen?
Otto von Bismarck once said:
Quote
Do not expect that once you take advantage of Russia's weakness, you will receive dividends forever. Russians always come for their money. And when they come - do not rely on the Jesuit agreements you signed, supposedly justifying you. They are not worth the paper they are written on. Therefore, it is worth either playing fair with the Russians, or not playing at all.
Grin

Branko, your naivety is really moving. Assets frozen? Not even half of them, even the Siberian oil is being transferred ship to ship in international waters all over Southeast Asia. Assets stolen? None, there is no legal way to steal them at the moment.

be.open, you are repeating yourself in your posts but I agree: Whatever you sign-off with the RF governments means very little, starting with the Budapest agreements and continuing with any other agreement. That in itself is more of a problem for the RF than for others, since instead of just signing an agreement, they need to provide plenty evidence of compliance. Having a poor reputation is not really a good asset.

I repeat, nothing is happening, nothing planned. Drink well, go parade. Speaking of which.... nice T-34, but my favourite part of the parade was the air show - featuring 300 state of the art and fully invisible planes that I am sure were there. Unless there were not, in which case... it speaks a lot about the loyalty of the air force and how sure is Putin of having something flying over him.
As far as I know, in Moscow and the region, the "closed sky" mode was activated to prevent possible provocations. It seems that more than 20 drones were landed by means of electronic warfare and several drones were shot down by drone strikers. The parade went smoothly, with the exception of complaints from Muscovites about the difficulty of calling a taxi, due to jamming of the GPS satellite navigation signal.

Didn't you like Yars mobile strategic complexes at the parade? More serious than tanks.

So this is you confirming that the RF has no invisible aircrafts and there were none in the parade? Be careful, you may get a few years in jail for speaking badly of the Orc army. The fact that they had to close the sky should tell you something about the difference between the "air supremacy" you have been claiming in your posts versus the "hype supremacy" that is the official press in the RF.

Oh, I love the Yars. I am sure that they work as well as everything else in your country and they will deliver a high level of "hype superiority" if not "hype supremacy". But just remember, there is no way you use one of those and do not get an equivalent response back. My take is that if it is the US, they would not even have to use nukes for a very complete retaliation.

Most Russians on telegram war channels ask for those to hit London, not Kiev
Even ordinary Russians know who's pulling the strings

Oh Branko, you are so funny ... you have not yet asked yourself why London is the last place Putin would destroy - that is, if the ICBMs of the RF army have any fuel on them and can actually take off without all the electronics that have been sold along the way.

 Sufficient to say that many people even in the UK call London "Londongrad" or "Moscow Upon Thames" for the immense fortunes that the RF kleptocrats have deposited in the form of empty flats and Victorian houses in Chelsea. Who would want to destroy such a expensive beauty?

. But it was only in the 1990s that Londongrad began to emerge, featuring newly minted billionaires and a gaggle of flunkeys to serve them.

I am sure you understand that the debates on the public RF TV calling for nuking everything and invading everything and chanting the glories and capabilities of the RF arsenal are just for the local braindeads and keyboard based generals of imaginary armies.

Come on, be an adult and, at this point, ask yourself why Putin is still alive? Do you think that if the US wanted the guy dead he would already be? And there is a good reason why the US wants Putin to remain where he is.

Patience is a virtue.

NATO-country populations are starting to get things figured out and getting restive, but they need more softening up via the Ukraine-war treatment.  If next winter is a hard one, that will expedite the process.

The Poles, and probably the Baltics, will never get it figured out.  So happens that these are also the ones which also need some property line adjustments for a 'better Europe' moving forward.  The trick is going to be to get Polish forces to set foot in Ukraine formally.  Once that trap is set, blitzkrieg right down the the Polish/Ukrainian border.  If the Poles can be induced to fire from the Polish side, then poof!  No more Article 5.  If the rest of the European populations are sufficiently pissed about NATO mistakes and grifts, unhappy with Polish idiocy, and genuinely concerned about how far things might progress in their direction, they would tend to 'understand' that Russia/White-Russia is reacting to an attack from Poland.  Hopefully the people would, en-mass, decide that desolving NATO is vastly preferable to risking the end of the world in support of the rabid Poles.

I believe that the Russians would be just fine having a rather large but land-locked RumpPolKrainistan centered  where they are now (which so happens to be suspiciously situated over the old 'pale of settlement'.)  It would serve as dumping zone for Nazis and other associated creeps.  The important thing would be to have direct transit points to other countries for transport of goods, energy, etc, which bypasses (South and North) the garbage heap so they cannot control and tax trade.  I'll bet that Russia would be very happy to stop right there and get back to building up their country since that seems to be what the are most interested in at this time.



Yes, on that we agree. Patience is a virtue. One can spend a whole life waiting for somethings to happen. Or two lives... or ten generations.

Meanwhile, there are rumors, which I can neither confirm nor deny, that as a result of one of the missile strikes, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny was eliminated. At least he hasn't appeared in public for about a month. Perhaps this is one of the reasons for the delay of the Ukrainian counteroffensive.

Meanwhile, nothing has happened in Bakhmut. RF troops north and south of the city went for a smoke right the moment a few tanks, which turned up to be Ukrainian tanks where passing by to make the weekly shopping in a nearby supermarket.

After nothing happening at all, the RF troops found themselves with above 60 loses due to COVID, hart strokes and old age (so, not because the tanks ran over them or anything). Also, mysteriously and due to no particular reason, around 1 km2 in the south and 3 km2 lost in the north of Ukrainian territory were returned to Ukraine.

I repeat, nothing is happening, nothing planned. Drink well, go parade.

Still waiting on that 'greatest counteroffensive.'  Is it a stealth offensive, or is Ukraine now waiting for the ground to freeze over next winter?



Good thing you are waiting, it seems that others in the front got a bit nervous and decide to get in civilian clothes and escape to Crimea. The good thing is that nothing is going to happen. You are right, there is no counter offensive, drink, sleep, enjoy your victory day and look up in case there is anything falling from the sky.

Not attack is planned (wink wink).

Today 9th May parade happened in Moscow. Not in Kyiv as someone would like to see in his wet dreams. But this year parade was scaled down significantly. I'm wondering, why, what happened? Instead of showing new tanks like Armata, they only had one tank in aparade - T-34 from WW2 times. Some armored vehicles and few RS-24 YARS ICBM's. No air force display. In total, 51 vehicles, probably lowest numbers in many years. It looks that something happened. I can only insert this meme which relfects situation perfectly;

Meanwhile, Ukraine made some counteroffensive operations in Bakhmut and regained 3 km² of city (not official information). And Prigozhin continue to cry.

I would like to see the T-34. It is really a miracle if they managed to put one working WW II tank together and manage to find someone capable of driving it.

If those news are confirmed it is a very relevant fact. Not as much for gaining terrain in Bakhmut, which may or not matter, but because it implies a massive withdrawal of troops to the south. RF chief Orcs are scared this time.

My guess? If they arrest Putin someone else takes his place and thanks South Africa. It is a kleptocracy, there is no loyalty and anyone could replace the guy and keep the war with Ukraine going just as badly. The RF could do absolutely zero in military terms against S.A. They simply can't even if they wanted. Nuking and the like is a game with no winners.

something I would say should do any European country,let them live in that "imperial Russia in their fairy lands".

Unfortunately, this desire is practically unrealizable. No matter how much you want russia to remain a closed system, to stew in its own shit, this is very likely not to happen. The problem is not that no one gives a damn anymore, the problem is that russia is not limited to the destruction of its territory and the lives of its citizens. They can't just stay within their boundaries and mind their own business. They either openly invade foreign lands, or crap in other countries with the help of hacker attacks, interference in politics and bribing officials. And these problems will not be solved if the average Europeans are indifferent. Unfortunately, attention is coming to russia, because it demands this attention with those cruel methods that it has been using for more than several decades.

The system is rotten inside out. How would anyone justify that they have been trying to take a small city from a in theory much inferior adversary during nearly a year? How about a convoy going to Kiev that simply cannot move because the fuel is not there? What about the RF asking Iran for drones and North Korea for munitions?

There isn't anything in the RF that is "true" in any sense of the word, and that starts with their leaders.

...
On the war itself, it seems that Ukraine is claiming that a Patriot stopped a Kinzhal. To be honest, the missile is an air launched version of the Ishkander and can reach hypersonic speeds. However the true hypersonic capability requires a very high degree of manoeuvrability, which makes it very difficult to intercept, very difficult to know where it is heading and thus a real threat. Russia is claiming that capability, but it is simply not there.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/05/06/russia-ukraine-war-patriot-kinzhal/ba39c340-ebeb-11ed-869e-986dd5713bc8_story.html
At first Ukraine denied these news, but after some time they officially confirmed it. They told many times that Kinzhal missiles is impossible for them to intercept with systems that they have and it caused lot of problems for them. So, it's big news.

It is important certainly. These missiles were kind of the answer from China and the RF to the Carrier Groups of the USA, currently 11 in active if I remember correctly. If a Patriot can intercept, let's say with a 60% chance a modern Khinzal, Sea based systems, usually x 10 times better, can do it too. It is a game changer to have a carrier group at 200 miles from your coast and not being able to do much about it (other than nuking it I guess).



patriot is too expensive, they should shoot it down with shotgun or jar of marmelade

...

They probably could - if you listen to official propaganda, the RF could send an invisible missile capable of knocking on a door and ask "trick or treat" while dancing The Swam Lake. The problem comes when the tank does not move because Boris sold the fuel, the troops get sent to a kill zone because some Capitan Igor is too afraid to tell that the recognisance unit is formed of zero vehicles (all sold) and the explosive reactive armour fails because Piotr sold it and filled it with pebbles.

Patriot is too expensive, unless it blocks a missile that is going to hit something really expensive.

You know, I think that people claiming the military capabilities actually believe they have them because they have been lied from minute zero by nearly everyone involved in the process of "creating the capability".

Russia is an isolated country now which no one gives a damn about them anymore and I say damn to just not say something worse.They are the only responsible to such failure,they have lost people,they have lost ammunition and tanks,fighters and all sort of military device in this conflict.They have been put under heavy sanctions and the average Joe in Russia is feeling the consequences,no one in US or Europe looks to any average Russian with empathy anymore and some of these countries are also closing borders with Russia,something I would say should do any European country,let them live in that "imperial Russia in their fairy lands".

I am looking toward Russia, or more accurately the economic union of which they will play a leading role, with a lot of interest for the future.  The 'collective West' looks to me like dead-end economically, functionally, and morally.  The West has a long way to go before hitting rock-bottom and there is increasingly little chance that anything will arrest their fall.

I will say that Russia, like so many other countries, seems to have had little or no concept of so-called 'liberty' among the general population.  It does seem to me that most people are very uncomfortable in a situation where there is no 'great leader' or whatever.  Not that a huge number of people in any society are much different, especially these days, but it does seem the case that most societies in most places have never had a point in time when any form of 'freedom' as very widespread and there is precious little aspiration toward achieving such a state.  If anything 'freedom' seems to be a dirty/scary word.  My upbringing in my culture actually did value and aspire to such a state of being and I am genuinely chauvinistic toward people who don't value independence and freedom although I don't discount the advantages of a population being wired for what is effectively slavery.  My guess is that I would not be very happy in Russia (or almost any other place really.)

Economically speaking they would need at least 40 years to catch up with the developed world so I wonder why are some people still saying Russia is winning the war when they have already lost it in a lot of very important fronts.

That doesn't comport with the observation the Russians are winning handily in Ukraine on almost all fronts, and especially in terms of the technical capabilities of their advanced weapons systems.  That is not what would be expected of an economy and a society which doesn't allocate resources in a sensible way.  At least not one which is rich in resources.
...



Your observation does not comport with any real observation.

Some people would say that the International Court of Justice order to arrest Putin does not make any difference. However, it seems that it actually does in international terms. A large part of any diplomatic negotiation happens behind the scenes, if informal networking and talks that happen in the corridors, not over the table. Putin's out of it now and that is going to create problems - mostly for the RF.

Quote
South Africa’s authorities have asked Russian President Vladimir Putin not to come to the country to participate in the upcoming BRICS Summit, Sunday Times reports, citing sources.

Was he really planning on being there anyway?  I doubt it.  Especially after the recent attempt on his life.  Still, this sends a little bit of a message that his actions have consequences on the international stage so it's a good thing.  I'm sure Putin appreciates the heads up as well that if he were to go there would be trouble.  All in all, it seems this is a positive thing for everyone, unless Putin had some sort of desire to be there.  I suspect that's not the case, but you never know.

Yes he was very interesting in attending, Putin is in dire need of international recognition and would have liked to have a picture with the "block opposing the US". Now that I think of it, I wonder what short of indirect route would have Putin's plan follow to get there avoiding the air space of all signatories of the treaty that may put him in jail.

There has been no attempt on Putin's life, that is a lie from the official propaganda. Putin was not in the Kremlin when the drones struck near the flag (if you are referring to that as an "attempt"). It is nearly impossible to kill anyone other than by mistake doing such a thing.

Yes, I am sure he likes the heads up, as South Africa appreciates that he has installed Zoom in his computer, so that they do not have to arrest him and create a problem for themselves.

I believe that the arrest warrant is primarily a moral matter[...]

They know that they cannot bring Putin by force [...]

They cannot bring Putin to justice for now. But if there is a coup, whoever takes power may send him as a peace offering and at the same time not having to hang him. It is something more dangerous for the guy than a mere "moral judgement."

Also, it there is some photo evidence that the Orcs are using banned weapons in Bakhmut such as Phosporous / Termite munitions. A dangerous path to follow.
Phosphorus weapons are not used in Bakhmut, you confused them with 9M22S or 9M28S magnesium shells launched from Grads. Magnesium shells have a number of advantages over obsolete and long-decommissioned phosphorus shells - they have a much higher combustion temperature, they are easier to store without the risk of self-ignition, they cannot be extinguished by cutting off the supply of oxygen, and they are not prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

It is important certainly. These missiles were kind of the answer from China and the RF to the Carrier Groups of the USA, currently 11 in active if I remember correctly.

I really hope that when you have to make the accounts of "that little business you run and does not allow you to go to the front" better than this one. It means that you would need to spend your whole production on missiles of one or two years to stand a 5% chance of landing one of them in an aircraft carrier. If you do not want to work out the math, just consider that you needed 18 to land 3 in the whole of Ukraine.

The pictures do not look at all like grad launched munitions. Glad to know you consider these as allowed - you RF friends at the front will thank you when they get similarly burnt (it cuts both ways you know).

Recent news about someone smoking in the wrong place south of Yekaterinburg - EDITED to add - Just if anyone wonders why someone was smoking in one of the largest ammunition depots of the RF, it may very well be linked to Putin asking to make a re-count of all available ammunition in the country -  hint: the stock in Yekaterinburg is now officially "lost due to a fire" - not that they were to find it completely empty due to some Orcs selling it in the black market during the last 10 years??

I know that in the Tik Tok area, watching a 1 hour video is not in style, but if anyone really wants to know why the RF is underperforming by any standard, this is the place to go:

It explains corruption and how it works at all levels and how it ends up with the joe in the trench getting a gun that does not fire, a body armour without the plates and a few more dachas in the Caspian.

On the war itself, it seems that Ukraine is claiming that a Patriot stopped a Kinzhal. To be honest, the missile is an air launched version of the Ishkander and can reach hypersonic speeds. However the true hypersonic capability requires a very high degree of manoeuvrability, which makes it very difficult to intercept, very difficult to know where it is heading and thus a real threat. Russia is claiming that capability, but it is simply not there.

At first Ukraine denied these news, but after some time they officially confirmed it. They told many times that Kinzhal missiles is impossible for them to intercept with systems that they have and it caused lot of problems for them. So, it's big news.

It is important certainly. These missiles were kind of the answer from China and the RF to the Carrier Groups of the USA, currently 11 in active if I remember correctly. If a Patriot can intercept, let's say with a 60% chance a modern Khinzal, Sea based systems, usually x 10 times better, can do it too. It is a game changer to have a carrier group at 200 miles from your coast and not being able to do much about it (other than nuking it I guess).

Hello from Ukraine!

I am not entirely sure if I am breaking any rules by posting this information in this thread, but if I am, I apologize and ask the administrators to move this post to the appropriate thread.

I represent the team of military volunteers "Sho Ti Dyadya" who provide support to our army. We are from Zaporizhia, which is only 40 kilometers away from the front line. We are the ones who help our servicemen to reclaim our lands with minimal losses. We have donors from the cryptocurrency community, and perhaps others might want to support our work and fight.

https://uafree.org is the website of our foundation, which displays the intermediate results of our work. It is available in Ukrainian, English, German and Polish.

https://www.facebook.com/shotidyadya is our Facebook page (unfortunately, only in Ukrainian) with daily reports on the funds raised and the work done.

I have been a member of this forum for over 5 years and I believe that there are people in our community who can support our fight for survival.

Thank you in advance.

Perhaps this is not exactly the right place to ask for donations. I can already tell you that you would need to provide quite a bit of a proof that is legit, since this does not seem any of the accounts officially published by the Ukrainian government many months ago.

Air Force commander Mykola Oleshchuk said in a Telegram post that the Kinzhal-type ballistic missile had been intercepted in an overnight attack on the Ukrainian capital earlier in the week. It was also the first time Ukraine is known to have used the Patriot defence systems.

“Yes, we shot down the ‘unique’ Kinzhal,” Oleshchuk wrote. “It happened during the night time attack on May 4 in the skies of the Kyiv region.”

The information is always to be taken with a pinch of salt, but what I have read about this missile... welll, it is very fast as it would be very fast a ICBM warhead falling, but not undetectable and certainly subject to being intercepted.

I am also thinking that the US was reluctant to provide Patriots to Ukraine precisely because they tend to play the opposite game: the US army not claim capabilities that they do know they have and provide limited information about the test. I am sure the US would rather have the RF not being sure about the Patriot capabilities. The RF instead speaks above what is factual and then find themselves believing their own shit.

Also, it there is some photo evidence that the Orcs are using banned weapons in Bakhmut such as Phosporous / Termite munitions. A dangerous path to follow.

On the Wagner Butcher in Chief... OMG... they guy appears in full cammo with 8 machinegun magazines over his chest like if he did any of the fighting... super-lame.

The RF is "evacuating" people massively from Zapo, we are talking more than ten localities. I wonder why? ... Nah, I do not wonder why to be honest.
