Dont retire but reduce hours would be nice for anyone, worst thing would be to better off but somehow feel worse. The rich mans curse, personally I would not rate 1 mil as retire money its more likely buy a decent house and not be in debt. The smart use of money is always reduce bills not spending as costs can increase if you buy alot of things which require maintenance and insurance and so on. I'd like to think whoever won this parlay had spent alot of time thinking about it, calculating and so was smarter then the average better and the average lottery winner who does nothing but be the target not determiner of good luck.
I am sure that this win is pure luck and not a result of calculations. If we assume that he figured it out, then his decision to bet on the express instead of single bets is super stupid. Because no matter what calculations he makes, there is always an accident and his magnificent plan could be destroyed by just one event. For the sake of reliability, he had to bet on single events. In this case, he would have won less, but more reliably. |

Interesting articles. Thanks for the links!
I wouldn't say there are "million such cases", though. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad there are such cases, and I hope there will be more cases like those in the future, but we both know that in the vast majority of cases if you break the rules(ToS/T&C) you won't win in court. So, even though those companies are not omnipotent(and that's good, of course) it's better for us to read ToS, at least briefly, at least "diagonally", but to not ignore it completely.
The only reason people don't win millions of such cases in courts is their unwillingness to go there. Few people want to waste time for the sake of their adherence to principles and punish a corporation for the loss of a virtual character or access to a virtual service. This is especially not relevant given the fact that there are many other services/games. But still, we must not forget about our fundamental rights and regard corporations as gods. It will be useful for them and for us, we will know about our rights, and they will be less impudent. |

First off, I truly believe that reputation is subjective because there are lots of factors to consider. However, to prevent exit scams, it is really important that the casino that you choose should be properly regulated and registered and not just because they offer all the games you enjoy.
~
This will not save you from scammers in any way. If the management decides to cheat the players, it will do it, but different tricks will be applied than if it were a casino without regulation. For example, a "hack" will be made when all funds of the casino and players are "stolen". This has already happened with many exchanges, this is a common algorithm. |

 oh that is fun! By the way, this is a funny paradox - usually the owners of big wins are not very responsible and smart people because smart and responsible people cannot afford to make such stupid spending (as you wrote, catching lightning is much more likely than winning the lottery) and as a result, the winnings go to someone who is naive or simply irresponsible. Well, the fact that they are playing lottery means that they are irresponsible with their money and their life overall, although there are some smart people that can get the win which ends up with them having their lives changed permanently. This is the paradox - lottery participants are selected in such a way that the winner is most likely an irresponsible and carefree person. But if we take not the total number of participants and the prize (on average, all participants lose) but only the winners, it turns out that the victory is won not by the most, let's say, worthy people. |

Come on man, just because someone is attracted to a young lady doesn't mean his marriage will be destroyed. I mean we all are attracted towards someone but that doesn't mean we will file a divorce and marry the girl. That's just too much, I am not saying whether being attracted by a female at casinos is a good thing or not but it shouldn't be a reason for marriages being destroyed.
~
Really. If it were so easy, we would see 5 weddings and divorces a day In fact, marriage (normal) is a much stronger and more reliable thing than "looked at another girl and went to get divorced." And in fact, many couples have a normal attitude even to such things as an escort - sometimes it's just physiology, nothing more. |

There were series of unexpected results yesterday and it really wasn't a profitable day for me.
PSV were just flawless in attack, I was able to catch the second half live, Mario Gotze still got game in him, I would have expected a better performance from the Turkish side honestly. Now they've got an impossible task ahead of the 2nd leg.
In the confrontation between PSV and Galatasaray, everything has already been desided and the main problem is not in the score, but in the fact that Galatasaray has no game, they completely lose to PSV in all aspects of game and are unlikely to find a resource to change this so dramatically before the return match. |

As per sportsbet.io
Spence = 1.43
Pacquiao = 2.65
So that's a huge gap in the betting odds, but then again, we all know that Pacquaio is a live underdog here similar to the Thurman fight.
But no other betting options so far, it's just ML. I'm sure boxing bettors are looking for more choice, like per round etc. I'm tempting to put money on Pacquiao with that very attractive odds.
1.43 is a very good odds for a favorite in such a fight. I think that the coefficient for Pacquiao is underestimated and should be more than 4, and for Spence it is about 1.2, but because of the fans who mindlessly bet on Pacquiao, bookmakers give out such coefficients to protect themselves from surprises. |

The results are changing not only in weightlifting, I follow the results of the 2012 Winter Olympics in Russia and a lot has changed there, some athletes have risen by 2-3 positions.
As for transgender people, I agree with you, this is an absurd decision - in my opinion they should participate in competitions based on their biological sex and not gender, which can be changed 100 times a day. This transgender thing is very subjective. Just as doping tests change very quickly from competition to competition by allowing or denying certain components, testosterone tolerances in a transgender person also make a lot of difference from one participant to another. People are changing very fast, and soon it will no longer be possible to reach a consensus on what is fair and what is not... I believe that soon it will be able to create a single mixed category between men, women and any other gender. I have nothing against transgender people, but biological sex is not a subjective concept, but an objective one. If we allow biological men to compete for women, then we are destroying women's sports. I think there should be a category for transgender people, or the competition should not take gender into account, but the biological sex should be taken into account. |

Yes. But judging by what he says, he has real problems with addiction and he cannot get rid of it, even though he perfectly understands the harmfulness of such behavior. To be honest, when I find out about such cases, I start to fear for myself - what if I become addicted? Usually I start to limit myself even more after that.
I have been addicted until not very long ago.However I have passed it all,no problems for me whatsoever now.How I passed is easy,I just started doing other things after work rather than gambling,like going out for a run,learning a new skill or technology and things like this.Now I have come to a point where I can play when I want and I can stay for months without playing if I feel like it.What I want to say is that all depend on our self at how good we can handle situations like this. It's a good experience and it's cool that you were able to get rid of the addiction/bad habit yourself. I had a similar experience and changing occupations is a key decision to change myself - sports and, for example, doing business help best in this. Together, these two activities can drain you completely and you won't even think about gambling. |

Скорее это не гениальное а вынужденное решение - наверно им надоели возраты от мамкиных майнеров которые хватают все подряд не зная про блокировки, а потом несут обратно. А хешрейты других монет в описание попозже скорее всего добавят когда добавится залоченных алгоритмов. Смысл именно в этом - предупредить о локах. |

~ ixbt.com публикует статьи идиотов  Да, печально что иксбт начал публиковать статьи уровня МК в формате "скандалы интриги расследования", минимальный фактчек то должен быть. На майнингклабе уже поугарали над этими "новостями".
Пару недель мониторю авито по запросу "майнинг ферма" - вчера был пробит уровень в 8к объявлений. Рос с 7,6к постепенно, вчера скакнул. Цены тоже падают постепенно на уже висящих объявлениях. |

Yes, the victory will be good in any case, but the funny thing is that if it takes place, then many will later say "this is a victory over an old star, now if he was younger ...", and if he cannot win, it will be almost a collapse since everyone will say that he could not defeat the aging champion.
I think we can really take that out in the equation, throughout boxing's history we have seen that. Just like what Pacquiao did to Oscar, there could be arguments that Oscar by that time is old and can't pull the trigger anymore. So that could be the excuse, but the thing is how that boxer career went after beating a legendary. And we have seen Manny's career flourish after that. So if ever Spence beat Pacquiao here, he will be judge on how his career will move. He could chase Thurman or Crawford or any other champion in the 147 lbs and could be on the road to become legendary himself, someday. Still, I think that we cannot discard such statements. Any boxer will eventually lose the title due to age, this is a fact. And the one who defeated him must, by his subsequent actions and victories over other strong boxers in the prime of their years, prove that he has the right to greatness. In fact, it turns out that this victory will be useless (globally), but defeat in such a fight, one might say, puts an end to the young boxer's claims to greatness. |

Where there is risk, there is an opportunity to win. I myself do not like random matches and rarely bet on them, but it seems to me that the strategy of betting on an explicit underdog can be profitable due to the randomness of the result. Perhaps, in order to get a particularly profitable odds, it is worth waiting for the underdog to start losing and at that moment place a bet.
Live betting still won't give me a good advantage I think, because this is about a friendly match I think also when the favorite team loses temporarily, then when I bet directly on a mediocre team I will only get low odds too. For me personally betting on friendly matches will really require skill, because here we will not easily bet on the line but if you want to get off the track at least it requires high confidence too, and this is very different from matches throughout the league and I prefer to avoid it. I meant a different bet in the described situation! When the favorite starts winning, the odds for the underdog skyrocket and it is necessary to bet on it. The randomness does not disappear anywhere and the underdog may well win, and even if you lose most of the bets, you can be in the black, since rare wins will give a large profit. |

I'm looking forward to the weightlifting competition and my favorite is New Zealand As you know, a transgender will perform at this Olympiad for the first time (in fact, not for the first time, but it was previously prohibited). Therefore, I think this "woman" will easily defeat her rivals and set several new records. And I will also watch with great interest the reaction of other girls - is there anyone who openly oppose this? Weightlifting is tournament where half of results change after few years because of positive doping tests  . About transgender, I think it's not fair that she or he (don't know how I should call that athlete) is allowed to participate with women. And at the same time athletes like Caster Semenya aren't allowed to participate bause she have too much testosterone... The results are changing not only in weightlifting, I follow the results of the 2012 Winter Olympics in Russia and a lot has changed there, some athletes have risen by 2-3 positions. As for transgender people, I agree with you, this is an absurd decision - in my opinion they should participate in competitions based on their biological sex and not gender, which can be changed 100 times a day. |

Sure. By the way, yesterday Spartak won a small domestic tournament, and showed an excellent game, I think now it is becoming the favorite in this pair. Spartak is famous for its instability, but now it seems that there are no prerequisites for this, and depending on what the bookmakers offer, I will most likely place a bet in this confrontation.
Honestly, it has nothing to say. Winning a domestic tournament as the top team of Russia doesn't really show how strong the team is and what we can expect from the team this season. That would be like emphasizing that FC Barcelona is in a top condition because they won a small pre-season tournament of teams in Catalonia. But you can draw certain conclusions about the preparation of Barcelona, even for such matches. winning 1-0 and winning 5-0 are very different results, right? Spartak played 5 matches in July - one draw 2-2 and 4 wins with a total score of 21-1. In every game where Spartak won, it scored at least 4 goals. I think this indicates a good form of the team and will contribute to an excellent mood and confidence before important matches. |

The goal is to make customers feel comfortable there and stayed for more long time and it seems that gamble is always in the circle of money, women, and alcohol. Now its just about how someone with pure intent for gambling to control himself. it's just part of the entertainment they offer, the rest they control themselves.
You're right. I am wondering where this gender imbalance in gambling comes from - as far as I know, the overwhelming majority of gamblers are men, and if we talk about addicts, their percentage is even higher there. Perhaps this has something to do with physiology and high testosterone, which kindles excitement and contributes to aggressive play. |

I am also not so much into lotteries. It doesn't matter if they are online crypto or the traditional state run lotteries. The chances are just too slim to really win something. Winning the lottery is life changing but it's more likely to get hit by a lightning then winning the lottery. The only time I really play the lottery is there is a new high jackpot and all my friends are playing. Its just the peer pressure, the worst would be to see my friends win the lottery and I wasn't part of the ticket.
oh that is fun! By the way, this is a funny paradox - usually the owners of big wins are not very responsible and smart people because smart and responsible people cannot afford to make such stupid spending (as you wrote, catching lightning is much more likely than winning the lottery) and as a result, the winnings go to someone who is naive or simply irresponsible. |

Betting on the outcome of friendly matches seems extremely risky to me. I realise that betting always involves a certain amount of risk, but in friendly matches there are simply more factors that make the outcome of a match very difficult to predict, especially during that period of a season (or pre-season). Take for example the friendly match of FC Bayern vs FC Cologne. Cologne won this match with 3-2. In retrospect, this may seem quite logical, as most Bayern players were active at the EURO and therefore had not yet started training, but would you really have bet on a win for FC Cologne because of this? Bayern still had players like Upamecano and Choupo-Moting in the starting line-up.
Where there is risk, there is an opportunity to win. I myself do not like random matches and rarely bet on them, but it seems to me that the strategy of betting on an explicit underdog can be profitable due to the randomness of the result.

My wife and I agreed that 5% of my monthly wages will be on my own discretion meaning i can do anything from that.
So that is my budget for gambling , though sometimes i exceed from that 5% because i have some Sideline weekends and earning 100$ rom it.
If it's not a secret, how long is this agreement valid and what are your gambling statistics? Does it happen that in some month you find yourself in the black and instead of spending money you get it? And accordingly, if this happens, how do you dispose of these unexpected winnings? |

I'm sure that Shakhtar will win. As for the second match, it will be at least the level of the group stage - these two teams are really strong. As far as I know, things are not going very well in Spartak, but most likely in this confrontation it will be stronger. At least any other result other than victory will be considered a failure and the club's management will most likely take action against the head coach.
An interesting point is that the current Spartak coach has already coached Benfica. In fact, it was the coach who replaced the current coach when he left Benfica for a rival club. So both coaches know each other very well. It could be two very interesting matches. Sure. By the way, yesterday Spartak won a small domestic tournament, and showed an excellent game, I think now it is becoming the favorite in this pair. Spartak is famous for its instability, but now it seems that there are no prerequisites for this, and depending on what the bookmakers offer, I will most likely place a bet in this confrontation. |
