Blocking gambling ads might be a good option if you want to avoid being engaged in different online casinos. However, I don’t think that’s enough to keep you away from online gambling. You need to have an inner desire to quit gambling for good, and by having self-discipline and self-control over your urges to gamble, you will never fall seeing yourself gambling again. I believe this is not easy especially for addicted gamblers, but it could create a good start if you are serious to your intention.
Blocking Gambling ads will not solved anything, rather one might come across in another dimension, it might not be through ad, rather another means. The best way to stop gambling, simply enable disciplinary measures and principles that would aides in prevention of gambling, it's usually difficult at first phase, but as time goes on, it will become more easier to adapt. Possessing the self discipline to quite gambling is not triggered by everyone, we just need  to develop mindset that would determined to quit gambling, it sould be avoided if it doesn't suit one's lifestyle.

It's not that people keep it as a secret, but it's not something that worth bragging Grin
Like hey guys I'm a gambler and I play slots every weekend! Who cares? You should tell everyone about your achievement or business, not about unimportant stuff like gambling.
But sure, if someone asks me what I will do next Saturday, I might have a different answer depending on who asked. In a country where gambling is illegal, telling random people that you gamble is asking for problems.
It's not that I'm happy to say I'm a gambler, we tell who cares to know. We keep secret, discreet ourselves from things that would results to our weakness. You're absolutely right, gambling is one of the uninterested activity, it's never a right choice to publicly tell people you gamble, it's more like telling them indirectly that you're involved in illegal activities especially in countries that doesn't support gambling. We do what we have to do to generate income and extra cash for ourselves, we are free and do what we find pleasures in, not counting on what the public will do or say.

He wants another challenge so a move to Barcelona at least makes Gundogan happy to be there even though the Man City club can ensure they will win again but the choice of another team by Gundogan is Barcelona not Man City anymore.

Yes Pep Guardiola does not want a bad atmosphere because he does not want to let go of players if it is their intention to leave Man City never blocks so hard even with a suitable offer the player is always released.

For me Man City by losing Gundogan and Mahrez will not weaken their attack, Man City players can always create opportunities for goals.
Important layers departing the club this summer, ofcourse it won't affect their performance, because the club have growned to played without depending on a particular individual, they play together as a team. The club keep making improvements in every season, without hesitations. Pep Guardiola have no intentions of leaving Etihad Stadium this summer, it's very interesting how he managed to tighten the club and improved their performance over the past years. Presently, Manchester City is seen an elite club with good quality players.

With each halving, the period until a new Bitcoin is created doubles. It will become increasingly difficult, incredibly difficult for anyone to obtain fresh Bitcoin as time progresses.

Maybe your statement here needs more clarifications, bitcoin is at its best and nothing will depreciate it value, rather this will increases over time, maybe you will need to explain what you mean by the difficulty in obtaining a fresh bitcoin over time.

Currently, it takes 96 seconds to create one Bitcoin; in the next halving, it will take 192 seconds - 3 minutes and 12 seconds - for each new Bitcoin; fast forward to 2092, when it will take 1 year+ to create one Bitcoin, and the price must have skyrocketed to $2m/BTC; tell me how many people will be able to obtain one at this rate- it becomes increasingly difficult to obtain one as time passes.

I can't blame Pep Guardiola for this result and say he is guilty of losing the game just because of not placing Haaland in another position or because of replacing Haaland and Palmer. Pep Guardiola is a wise coach and he proved it in the last season when they won many titles with this coach but still Guardiola can make mistakes, even the greatest coach in the world can make mistakes.
But I think the main reason for Macnshter City to lose that game was not Guardiola. But it was because of Haaland.

It doesn't matter who starts and who sits on the bench, both teams did portrayed their best on the pitch, I guessed the best team wins. Manchester city have achieved quite alot during Pep Guardiola incharged, losing do happen to other elite clubs, and Manchester city was not exempted. The game was tough for both sides, the cityzens keep domination while the gunners were extremely defensive, securing their territory with everything they had. Mikel Arteta boosts the moral of the fans with additional potential new players in the squad, I would say that Arsenal is quite different from the one we met.

I agree with that. Felix was really unable to show his skills for Chelsea as well. Technically Chelsea were having a really poor season so it was extra difficult for him to shine. But he got a red card a short time after he joined the team as well which started the criticism about him. I don't know maybe things would be different if he joins for another season but it is hard to tell anyway.

I think he should just take the potential offer coming from a Saudi team and go there. He can return after a couple of seasons and then maybe he might continue his career in Europe better than before.
Some players fall out of favour at their clubs, and they are most likely not on good terms with the head coach. It's impossible to play well under a coach who doesn't like your game structure, as I've witnessed numerous times. Joao Félix is one of the good players who was loaned to Chelsea; he did everything perfectly except get a red card on his debut. Under Diego Simeone, the Portugal international lacks regular game time at Atletico Madrid, which would complicate matters even more if he still struggles to adapt. With time, things will get better for the player.
1207  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / <Read>The Mathematical Significance Of 1 Bitcoin In Relation To Time. on: August 07, 2023, 11:55:03 AM
First, it is interesting to know how much 1 Bitcoin represents in percentage terms measured against the total amount of Bitcoin ever available.

1/21,000,000 equals 0.0000000476%.

very little. However, Bitcoin has something ingenious embedded in it. With the halving epochs, time takes on a special role for Bitcoin:

In the first period, 50 Bitcoin are created every 10 minutes on average, 600 seconds, or 1 Bitcoin every 12 seconds. Every 12 seconds 0.0000000476% of the total supply.

Today in 2023, there are 6.25 new Bitcoin every 600 seconds, or 1 Bitcoin per 96 seconds. Every 96 seconds 0.0000000476% of the total. When the fourth halving arrives in a few months, it will take 192 seconds - 3 minutes and 12 seconds - for each new Bitcoin.


When will the time come that 1 year must pass before 1 Bitcoin is created?

Let's jump to 2096: the block subsidy is 0.0001192 Bitcoin. It will take more than a year to find a full Bitcoin: 1/0.0001192 = 83,893 blocks ≈ 838,930 minutes ≈ 1.6 years. Just over 2 Bitcoin are issued in this halving period.

The same amount of new value that is created today in just 96 seconds, will ~68 years later take over a year and a half to be created.

But Bitcoin shows us its full potential of the inflation plan the closer we get to the total amount: if only 0.0000000476% - i.e. the last Bitcoin - is missing, it will take about 35 years until this last Bitcoin becomes usable for mankind.

What started with 12 seconds in 2009 will reach its zenith in 2140, when from the years 2104/2106 on, ~35 years of time are needed to create the last full Bitcoin.

With each halving, the period until a new Bitcoin is created doubles. It will become increasingly difficult, incredibly difficult for anyone to obtain fresh Bitcoin as time progresses.

Horrible things like man made devastating wars will hardly be feasible and affordable anymore, because Bitcoin is simply too rare to be able and willing to wage war with it.

1208  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 07, 2023, 06:29:48 AM
This is the result of getting into addiction.
 - debts/loan
 - stealing
 - criminalities
If someone will come to me and asked for loan money for gambling, I certainly decline even if they offer a huge percentage because I know that it was hard to make money from gambling. I have had this experience before, I join the lottery and borrowed money from my friend. Well, as we all know that we can't win in gambling if we don't have luck - of course, I lose but I pay him back. But I'm not sure if that is a huge amount.
Going to the extreme, taking out a loan to gamble, is obviously not the most effective way to pursue, yet we must take chances to continue to sustain ourselves. We all have different gambling experiences; the most important thing to take is both the negative and positive impacts of the system; this is the only way to learn and adapt to reap beneficial profits from the space. Lending money to someone who is desperate to place wagers is an unmistakable indication that he is a compulsive gambler. I avoided those unpleasant activities and concentrated on more important issues that would keep my source of revenue flowing.

since Ronaldo arrival at Al Nassr has made a very good contribution and increased Al Nassr performance to be stronger in every match and all this is proven if in every match Ronaldo can always score even if only 1 or 2 in every match and actually the match between Al Nassr and Raja CA I said yesterday that it is very easy for Al Nassr to win that match. and related to competing against Al Shorta, this is also not a strong team and it is very easy for Al Nassr to beat him. I am very happy to see the cooperation of European players who have been recruited by Al Nassr to give very impressive results and in accordance with the price that has been paid to bring in this player.
if you see the match was very impressive when Ronaldo, Mane, Fofana and also Brozovic worked together to perform well in yesterday match and it looks like in this SPL Al Nassr will dominate other teams and get first place in the standings.
We we expects, we are actually witnessing the good chemistry circulating between the players. Saduo Mané joined in the siuu celebration after a long breaking shot by Cristiano Ronaldo. The squad is on fire and ready to take down any team they would faced. The only challenge would be facing Al Hilal in the competition, let's hope for positive results from Al-Nassr.  The supporters keep chanting triumphant songs inother to get full preparation for the best game. Al-Nassr aiming to sealed the title, after their leading squad employed to face their opponents. Cristiano Ronaldo making positive impact on Al-Nassr in elite competitions.

I feel sorry to see Man City defeat when they played against Arsenal yesterday and it seems I see players who are a little inconsistent here, especially Man City players. I saw that the City players thought a 1-0 goal could win the match and underestimated the Arsenal players so that the City players performance weakened in the second half and Haaland was Man City mainstay player. I felt very disappointed in this match as there was no contribution whatsoever and also in the defensive line is quite bad at the start of the season. I hope Guardiola has to be tough with his players to train him consistently because it was a very bad game for Man City.

and I congratulate Arsenal for what has been an amazing start to the season.
Full time 1-1, defeated to Arsenal in penalty shootouts. Manchester City won Arsenal in all rounds in their previous meeting, so yesterday game, everyone thought it would be the usual game, not knowing that Arsenal have planned and made their positions stands. Mikel Arteta men defended with everything they got left, making the game look look more tense in the first half, City dominated and kept the pressure on, while Gunners absolved everything. Perhaps it's still a shock to see Gunners triumphed over the cityzens, and this is just beginning of the league.

That's right, everything that the Saudi Pro League has done so far, will not produce big results very quickly. Because all of that must be gradual and will not be able to immediately explode and succeed. So you could say this is the initial stage for the Saudi pro league to advance its football world. Maybe at this time the Saudi Pro League is raising the name of their football club. So after this stage, then entering into the training process for local players who are still young will definitely be intensified. So basically the journey for the pro Arab league to increase its quality and degree is still very long.
Saudi clubs have developed perfectly compared to their previous budgets. Perhaps their goal is crystal clear, they want their domestic league to be on the same level as the European competition which they're working entirely to achieved by signing European players over, placing hugh offers for them. What they failed to understand is, they can't just keep signing players that are no longer effective for European clubs, if they actually keen of improving their popularity in the world of football, there primary aim should working towards the supporters, grabbing the big names and important players from Europe, checking at the previous signings, more like average and aged players that are brought over.

Manchester City is now making the most suitable transfers for the region and ending the transfer season. They see the shortcomings of a great team and only recruit players to that region, which is a very clever transfer policy. Manchester City don't want to spoil their already great squad. In my opinion, Gvardiol was the best defender to come to Manchester City, and once he achieves this harmony, Manchester City will be undefeated again.
Manchester City will continue dominate the English premier league as long as they got everything they need. Pep Guardiola is the master planner, he knows basically how to handle things in the club and the quality players he keen on signing from the transfer window. The new defender coming, Josko Gvardiol would prove supremacy in the league only if he adapts smoothly in manchester city pattern of game. It would be difficult for the Croatian at first, but as he becomes a regular starter under Pep Guardiola project, he will match-up the strength and expectations.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 06, 2023, 07:25:57 AM
He picked up the injury in pre-season with Atalanta and it is rumored that it wasn't too severe and healed quickly and is reportedly only a few weeks away.
But with conditions like this, the pressure will be even greater.
First he has to adapt to a new club and new players and coaching schemes.
Secondly, he also has to re-adapt to his game after the injury and this may not go well.
Hojlund's drama is likely to continue and we can only wait for his debut at Manchester United after the long drama.
Nothing changes, the new signing would be the primary striker for Erik Ten Hag and the red devil's. Manchester United signed this tender attacker, although he was in the best XI of Atalanta, which is Italian football, and he adapted brilliantly. This is England, Manchester United, and the fans have high expectations for the wonder kid, who has been in the system for some time and has gained experience in the style of game. But I'd say we shouldn't expect Rasmus Hojlund to reach his peak currently; he's wounded and will need time to recover, but he has yet to make his club debut, which is understandable.

Wagering is an activity to redeem gambling bonuses, increase the rank of your account in a casino and a whole series of other advantages ...
Share your opinion and what are your tips or tricks on this topic
My opinion doesn't matter,  we all have different experiencesand ideas, either negative or positive, what matters is the benefits we generate from the space whenever we gamble. It's a long proceeds to entangle without scouting out the risks management involved. Wagering is the process of placing your placing your predictions on a game, either sports or casinos, and they can also be done online, which seems to lesser the stress of going there in person to gamble. The world is advancing and if we're ignorant, we might as well face some difficulty in these gambling systems.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Importance of Gambling to the society on: August 06, 2023, 06:42:32 AM
Yes every action has both positive and negative impacts on the society. If we keep on pointing the negative aspects of it, then the positive things that is happening will be ignored and suppressed. I am not saying gambling is good, but yes we need to see the positive aspect of it. Though there are major differences between online crypto gambling and fiat gambling. As op is talking about the taxes is collected only from fiat casinos. Many online casinos still doesn’t pay the taxes. To be frank Gambling is completely banned in my country, at least FIAT gambling, so yes we don’t see any great impact happening through gambling.
Do what's right and satisfactory for us, weigh better than sticking to our losses and regrets, we're humans and we make mistakes, and also our job to correct them without putting the blames on anyone, grabbing the important sectors of gambling. Gambling is one of the legal activities that would generate more extra cash to the pocket, atleast its more popular than trading that's prohibited in most countries. Gambling have both negative and positive features, just try to stick with the positive interests because its one of the easiest ways to count good money.

He is the second front-line player that Paris Saint Germain has sign after Marco Asensio in a transfer this summer
After Ousmane Dembele officially joins, does that mean Paris Saint Germain's chance to get Goncalo Ramos will fail? Previously it was report that Paris Saint Germain were interested in bring in the Benfica striker, several offers were made and the last they prepare an offer worth 65-80 million euros to bring Goncalo Ramos to Paris.
PSG president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi trying his best to make possible amendments in the club, because alot of things blow out of proportions, and the only way to sort things out is fixing their problems. PSG making enough efforts to bring in good players inother to enhance the club. The parisians succeeded in landing Marcos Asensio and Ousmane Dembele, their next player on the line is Goncalo Ramos from Benfica. We all know how tough the striker is and good infront of goals. Benfica will only allow him leave if PSG matches the price fixed for the player.

If women hadn't entered the game now that they do, women would still be recognized for taking care of the home and the children, but the conditions have changed. In my perspective, males are naturally suited to hustle more than women. It is really uncommon to see women bet. I once discovered a female acquaintance using an online gambling program while we were still in school, so some do it covertly, but even then, there aren't many of them.  And as you said, many ladies enjoy drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes for pleasure; gambling is not their way.
We gamble inothet to generate extra change for our needs and wants. Gambling is a risky activity to anticipate, it's never an option to choose gambling, it drained the pockets dry and keep one depressed. Gambling have negative and positive effects on users. Women are more vulnerable than the men, they are opened to the dangers from gambling, so they should just keep it void and none. Women anticipating in gambling, it's not just right for the ears. Gambling is for guys, they gamble with spare money except  for the addicted ones, which are ready to spend their budgeted money on gambling.
1218  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 05, 2023, 06:23:22 AM
When a gambler has no capital with which to place gambling bets, he borrows capital from banks or other sources if he cannot manage the capital in any other way. This can be said to be a type of greed, because of this greed many gamblers become bankrupt and are forced to take any kind of risk if they cannot repay the loan. In my locality many gamblers are getting involved in criminal activities due to such loans. So it is by no means advisable to get involved in gambling by taking a loan for the time being.
Moreover, due to these loans many couples are facing problems of divorce and forced dowry system which is not desirable in a healthy society.

Planning is everything, knowing what we can take in and give out. Loans are debts, and triggering them is not financial advice. Gambling can result in either profits or losses. Furthermore, we should always strive to be on the winning side, as this is the only way to reap the benefits of the system. Being on the losing end has resulted in nothing but massive losses and regrets; just try not to blow things out of proportion. If there is no money, we stick to what will provide us with multiple sources of profits. Taking out loans for gambling is not a bad idea, but the consequences include huge indebtedness.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 05, 2023, 06:07:39 AM
Blocking any website related to gambling ads might help addiction controlled but I dount this will work in long term since there’s many way to see any gambling related staff and also knowing that you block gambling website will just make you curious on it later on. Controlling your self in the presence of gambling exposure is the best way to fight addiction instead of running away since you can’t runaway on things that you have access easily.
Controlling oneself will undoubtedly decrease gambling, and I am corresponding to the system's established regulations. We're exposed in all we do in our current society; gambling is never an option; rather, we pay full attention to what provides for our salaries and, at first, our challenges. Blocking pop-up gambling websites isn't even enough to eliminate gambling; it's everywhere, at work, and on the streets. One method for preventing oneself from engaging in gambling activities is discipline; it is not simple, but we have no choice but to deal with it.
1220  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My new favorite betting method. on: August 05, 2023, 05:52:42 AM
Yes, but with your method, if you start with a $2 bet, by the 100th bet, you will already be wagering over $5000. So, either you have to have a significant amount in your account, or you have to start with a very low initial bet. Basically the same as the martingale strategy.

Always stepping up my strategy, no time to relent towards it or form a copy method from my colleagues. $2 is insufficient, but depending on the odds, you will reap precisely what you sow. The system cannot be manipulated. Wagering games with a lesser initial capital will inevitably result in losses and little gains when contrasted to the massive capital that will result in tremendous earnings. Doing what works for you, even if it means going it alone, as long as it generates profits. It's a long road ahead, but prepared for what ever comes our way.
