1441  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: June 28, 2023, 06:46:51 PM
Many believe that Modric and Real Madrid could leave. He will not renew the contract with Real Madrid at the end, will go to the league of Saudi Arabia. Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric was offered by Saudi Arabia. But every time the offer came, he turned it down. He wants to stay at Real Madrid. The 37 year old croatian star still wants to play European football. So the Croatian midfielder has renewed his contract with Real for one more year.
Players who end up going to the Saudi Pro Liga are not solely because of money, some of them are because the previous club no longer wants to extend the player's contract and when there is an offer with money that is attractive enough will certainly be accepted.
It seems that money is not so much a target for Modric at this time compared to continuing to play for Real Madrid so that he can play in European competitions, although his career can be said to be at the end but his contribution to Real Madrid is quite big that's why Real Madrid also still offer him a contract extension, even though he is quite old and Real Madrid have also brought in young players who are expected to replace his position but one season is still needed until finally Jude Bellingham was able to adapt well and replaced Modric's role in Madrid.
The option after the contract at Real Madrid is over is to go to the Saudi Pro Liga if there is still a tempting offer or even end his career at his current club, and Modric will become one of the legends at Real Madrid.
I bet that all of them could have found a contract in Europe that would have been a lower payment, they just wanted to take the money that's the only reason. I know it sounds like that's not the only reason but do you really think that Kante couldn't find a team?

Even Chelsea wanted him to stay and offered him money but because he was offered 100 million he rejected Chelsea, same goes for Benzema as well that dude was getting a ton of money and he was offered again by Madrid, literally the club he played for a decade, and yet he declined because he was offered 100+ million too. Ronaldo is a sole case, because he was not officially offered by any club we know, there were rumors, but nothing even remotely close to what he got here, that's the difference maker.
1442  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will you find it offensive to be referred to as an addicted gambler? on: June 28, 2023, 04:22:59 PM
I sort of do because I am not an "addicted gambler". That feels like it means to say I end up losing a lot of money that I can't afford to lose. I understand that I am addicted to gambling, that is a better phrase to say it because it means that I am addicted to gambling but not a gambler.

The difference is that when you talk about a gambler then you usually talk about someone who ends up losing a lot of money and that is why it is not that easy, you end up with becoming broke eventually as well and I do not feel like that would be me. I think it is quite important to see the difference between the two. Yes I do end up gambling and have hard time stopping but at least I am not losing a lot of money and that's the important part.

They never said so, but I believe so. A preview of things to come, and an attraction for new players. For sure you can't get such a huge amount of rakeback anywhere every day for 2 hours. Definitely not sustainable so don't expect it to stay very long. Still, rakeback is not cashback, they're just giving you back the house edge. So if you play BJ like me it's not really that much if you don't wager a lot.

So BJ edge = 1%. Wager $1000 and that's just $10. Rake back at 70% means you get back $7. I think it's not as damaging as we think Smiley
Yes but that means they are giving back 70% of the expected amount they should be getting. In that logic, with 1%, if you gamble 1000 and lose 10 dollars, then you get 7 of it back, so they make 3 dollars on that one. That's 0.3% house edge, very very little if you ask me, definitely not really a sustainable thing for the casino.

Obviously there are people who gamble 1000 dollars and lose 100+ dollars, or they gamble that much and win 100+ dollars, that's a whole another topic, but as a casino they do not like individually to each player, and overall should be them making 1% from all of us combined, and with this it's no longer 1% but for them it's 0.3% and that's very little. With how much it costs to run a casino, they may not even profit even while making revenue.

Ferrari really has a big potential to get way stronger than this. Just imagine it has reached at least the level it had at the beginning of the previous season. Leclerc was able to fight back against Verstappen in a solid way. But for now Ferrari is dealing with some important issues and this even pushed it behind Mercedes and Aston Martin both. Let's say Ferrari managed to get ahead of both of these teams and even reached Red Bull's level. Then I will still not be confident about anything for Ferrari.

Because this time we will need to see consistency with decent strategies in races. Ferrari was really great in Canada about that but most of the races so far was still a disaster about strategies. Hence I think Ferrari's job is extra difficult compared to Mercedes and Aston Martin.
It has been always obvious that the pit crew and the TP and all that is not the reason why they are not good. Ferrari has a bad race executive at the head of all of this, and I do not mean just formula 1, I mean literally everything else, look at how great they did at le mans 24 after just getting it so many years later, which shows the fact that they can be amazing if they do not get stopped. But because they have a terrible executive, they can't build a good team.

With right management, a good budget, and basically a car engineering squad with a CTO that is beyond what they already had, they could build a car and manage it amazingly. They end up making mistakes after mistakes after mistakes which causes them to lose so much points.

Dame has been at Portland since he first started, if he leaves that's not going to be because he is not getting any help, he hasn't getting any help since he started and he accepted that much, he has shown that he will be willing to retire there with no good help and keep losing as long as he is there, he doesn't mind.

But, he is basically starting to hurt the team at this point, how? Because he is a good player and if he can leave and be traded, they can both get good picks (or players that can be turned into picks) AND also start rebuilding and getting much worse records, him being good hurts their draft lottery chances. So with him gone, plus some picks, plus tanking and getting a pick of their own, they could literally build from ground up again.

@MrRoo, I am very much interested in “following” the users on Roobet site and see their progress. I am big fan of few users who are so lucky and predictable that they would always end up winning huge amount of money. Look at the stevewilldoit, this guy is always in the top list and mostly wagering in the multiples of 1000 USD. Just crazy to see some users go along the way like that. I think there should be some feature where we can have fan page on the Roobet and follow the big accounts. It achieves nothing except some fun and see their progress. Who knows might just get motivated and end up putting more money from my end.  Tongue
Stevewilldoit is pretty famous on youtube and twitch for his gambling videos but he is also sponsored so he can play with crazy amounts without going bankrupt. He is entertaining, that's for sure. There are a coupler of other youtubers that I follow and one of my favorites is Xposed. He is just cool to watch it with his reactions and emotions.
I think streamers are a bit unrealistic for that sense, they are getting a bit different type of deal because when you are getting paid to do it, even if you are not getting paid the deposit, even if what you lose is lost, that means you can be getting paid just to do it, then deposit it all, and then you end up with streaming income. That's what I always said, like if a casino pays a streamer 5k per month to gamble there, then the gambler could gamble with 5k, lose it all, and still head streaming for the whole month, so there is an income there.

It could be subscribers, it could be donations, it's always something and I really love that about it. This is why we can't be like them, but we can have fun watching them do stuff that we wouldn't do at least.

It seems we have a new little upgrade on the website. They changed the Free Roll button appearance to "Multiply BTC" whenever you are done rolling your free roll. That is a nice way to divert the users to immediately bet with the earned free sats. I have recently gone down a bit in the multiply section because I lost a lot recently. My current eligible bonus is around 6429 satoshi. I am not sure if I should use it or not. The last time I used it, I exhausted all of my balance. Though I got 1 GT in return but anyways that is not my goal yet. The current focus is only, on price predictions, FUN accumulation, and WOF accumulation.

How about other members? Have you guys used your multiplier bonus and were successful to wager the 25x amount? I am also hesitating to use it over and over again because we have to spend equal amounts from our wallets too. That should be changed soon.  Tongue
The need for a huge UI change is still there though. However, yeah that's a good one, there was a notification type of thing there at all times, and then the countdown, I liked the countdown back when I first started because I left the tab open and checked the counter go down and that way I ended up knowing when it's time to get it again.

Obviously after I started to earn a bit more, save a bit more, and affiliates grew, I do not need to do much, I make more per day from doing absolutely nothing then I can earn from claiming 24 times a day. So I gave up years ago and right now it's a huge amount if I ever want a free roll, which I have to be honest click once or twice a month maybe, just old habits, but not depend on that anymore, still an UI change would be lovely.

You guys need to remember that Draymond staying and being happy means good things for other players as well. If you do not accept what Draymond offers, and you just straight up reject his offer and not renew contracts with him, next season Steph Curry and Klay Thompson may not be as good as they have been so far, I am not saying they won't be, I am saying they may not be.

That is not just because Draymond knows the plays better than anyone and can pass right at the right time to help them score easier, which is a very good reason to begin with, but also this is the guy whey grew up with, almost been like what 10 years together? So when he leaves, they will be a bit upset about it, even if they understand it is business, they may still feel upset, and may play worse.
1449  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Having no money to invest in Bitcoin is even better on: June 27, 2023, 03:11:53 AM
When an investor has money he rushes to trade on various exchanges. But it is never a good sign to rush before investing. A wise person would never be interested in investing without knowing about cryptocurrency. There are people who invest their money and try to get rich very quickly but they have no patience. Basically such people invest impatiently and later suffer losses and collapse. But those who don't have money to invest will never be impatient but be patient and take detailed education about the market. And they will invest when they get full knowledge then skill full and they have money. And such a person will never lose his money by investing but will be successful in future. So I think it's right to be patient when not having knowledge about crypto is better than not having money.
That's not the point, either having money or not having money changes the approach to investing. If you have none, then you would have to increase the amount of income you have and in the crypto world you can do that a lot better. I know a lot of people are not sure about it but we need to make sure that we can do something like that if we do not have the money for it.

There are tons of people who haven't really decided on anything just yet, but I believe that we could probably make a lot of profit when it comes down to bitcoin. I think expertise just brings better investment results, but even a novice could make a profit by working, increasing the income is not just by trading, you can do a lot more stuff for that as well.
1450  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Confident Are You In The Reliability of the KYC system on: June 26, 2023, 06:18:34 PM
There are some casinos who plan to scam gamblers when they get big wins. They look for various types of faults of gamblers early and when they find those faults, they can easily block the withdrawal. Complaints of account blocking of some users have also been heard. These situations are faced only when the gambler gets a big win. And the gambler cannot get any information in advance about such a situation. So before gambling you must choose the right platform for avoiding such situations.
The shadowy side of the bright and shiny online gaming world appears tarnished by unprincipled acts. Its heartbreaking to learn about winners blocked unexpectedly. Yet, the responsibility of protecting oneself shouldnt fall solely on the gambler. Regulatory bodies must enforce more robust safeguards for bettors. Also, online casinos need to uphold transparency and honesty: no compromise on ethical norms.

Thus, while picking the right platform is wise advice, it should be paired with broader regulations for casino accountability
Regulations on online gambling is very hard, most of the casinos get their license from curacao, and as long as you pay them enough, they will let you do whatever you want to do and not really put any blame on you.

There are websites that could be used for this, but unfortunately most of those websites are paid to remove websites, so if you write a bad complaint, then they can pay the website and it will be removed, hell they abuse this and write bad reviews themselves even, to get payment from casinos, and casinos started to ignore it, and we started to ignore them too. So all in all there is really no regulation right now, casinos are dealing with trust, if you trust them enough, you do it and if you are lucky, then you won't have any bad happen.

To answer questions above, as a regular daily player and investor: no, VIP is not active yet.

And 70% rakeback is active every day for 2 hours, from 9am to 11 am UTC (same as forum time). So no need to wonder and wait for the VIP or Elite seat cashback just play these 2 hours and you'll get a lot of your house edge back Smiley
Basically it's like a preview? Like what you would get if you wagered with VIP or Elite, you do that for the 2 hours in that case? I feel like that's a good deal. I think it is more about showing people what this casino can offer but I still say that it is not sustainable on the long run. When you cut down the house edge all that much, it becomes very hard to keep it going and that means we are not going to be able to do it easily.

I think it is a bit more troubling to think that something like this is even remotely possible, I believe it will take some time before people start losing money in bulk to make it profitable for the casino. If they keep doing %70, then it means you are going to end up with a big winner that ruins the casinos bankroll in the end.

For junior teams, usually tournamentnets like this will be used as a way to show off their skills to talent scouts so that they will have the opportunity to make their football career shine even more, because of those who play in this tournament maybe only a few percent have played at senior clubs, like in In the English national team, there are Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliot who have played quite often for the Liverpool senior squad
And I was quite curious which of the teams playing were actually the favourites, and it turned out that they weren't much different from the senior team because from first to fifth place there were Spain, France, England, Germany and Italy, and then maybe we can use that benchmark even though favorite team will not always win.

I do believe that it is a bit more "unexpected" results because when you are that young (some of them are 21, even 22 because they need to be 21 before they need to register) so it is going to be probably first time they are at this much global event, sure they are football players and a lot of them already making millions, but there are still some who are not that rich, and not that famous, and it is their first time. In that case, we are going to end up with them being a bit more wildcards and you do not know what they did night before, and could end up not being able to play that well.

This is why u21 has been quite tough to bet on most of the time, doesn't mean it is impossible to predict, it is just way too volatile to have a set pick for sure.
1453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: June 26, 2023, 08:48:11 AM
I don't think that Europe will be in bad shape because of Saudi Arabian transfers, that's just way too much reaction to the situation. It is obvious that they are getting players that are either old, or not getting paid a lot anymore. For example, Partey is not a talent that would worth 40-50 million, that is way too much, and no matter how rich a club is, you can't build a whole team with 50-100 million range salaries, that's not possible at all.

I believe that if you want to actually have a chance, then the best thing to do would be paying a lot less than that. In the end, they are getting players like Ronaldo and Benzema, who albeit might had a great career, they are at the end of their journey now, Europe do not need that to be good, they will keep being 100x bigger and better.

The profit/loss is part of gambling and we can't do much about them but what matters the most is the casino is not putting any obstacles in your withdrawal if you have complied with all their rules and Rollbit stands on this ground if we overlook those fake claims ongoing with every reputable casinos also.
one thing that must be paid special attention to by gambling sites is the issue of withdrawals, because I see from many problems from gambling sites is those who want to make withdrawals but are hampered by something, many of them claim because the casino withheld their money or because of their own fault.
I agree that defeats and wins for me have become things beyond all problems, I mean we definitely know what will happen when playing gambling, if you don't win, you lose, and so on.
I feel like that's not going to be an easy case to explain to people who haven't deposited here yet, let alone withdraw. That means we need to tell them that we have withdrawn a bunch of times, maybe thousands when you calculate all of us combined, and we never had any issues at all, however even with that in mind they will not trust it 100%, they will probably trust it enough to use but they would be worried if all we said is true or not so they would still have that doubt even when depositing.

Only time someone trusts a place is after the withdraw, and even after the first withdraw they ever make it may not be 100% trust just yet, but after a few of them they do start to think about it like it's a good thing, that's a lot better situated in that regard.
1455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: June 25, 2023, 04:43:23 PM
What I think it is happening is that bettors realize there is a silent majority who does not attend to neither leftist events nor MAGA gatherings, the so called moderated voters, they are more pragmatic and do not go along with whatever of the things Trump says, political related or in relation to the charges he is facing.

That is why Republican candidates in the mid terms under performed, on the news you only see fanatics but those who stay calm in their homes also vote and they do it in a more rational manner, there is where the Biden's changes of winning come from, from normal people who may not agree on several policies of Biden but approve his economical advances.
You mean "normal" people. Because any normal person would see right through this situation and would not want either side. This is basically just trying to get votes by playing into the hands of other side and I think that's not a good way.

Any candidate that is a normal person who just says ordinary stuff like more jobs, better healthcare, cheaper drugs, better education, more pay to teachers, better pay to truckers, military power, and all kinds of cliche things presidential candidates said for the last 200 years, I bet that person would actually have a high chance of getting the win. When both sides are crazy like this, I can say that it is not going to be easy choice, everyone would look into this as a "better my bad than your bad guy" type of deal.

it's a scam no bet is provably fair i made 150K+ Free Roll no number above 9995
Personally, I have no doubts about the honesty of freebitcoin because they allow users to check details for every free roll or bet in the hi/lo game. As for your post, it sounds like you're just lying and baselessly accusing freebitcoin. You said you made 150k free rolls, but that's just impossible since freebitcoin only allows 1 free roll per hour. Even if you pressed the roll button 24 times a day, it would take you 17 years to claim free sats 150k times. It's funny because freebitcoin was only launched 10 years ago.
If a place had even a shred of doubt instilled on them, they would have been killed off and labeled a scam many years ago. This place has been in operation for a decade or so, and they haven't done anything wrong even once. I do not think that they are going to end up starting now, it is not going to happen. I know that it feels like it might be the case, but most of the time it is not and we just need to accept that it is not.

The best thing to do right now is to know that freebitco.in is a legit place with absolutely nothing wrong, no matter how some people come here to complain when it is in fact them that tried to scam the website, and got caught so they are calling wolf. Reality is that this place is the most legit place that existed for the longest time.

I always found it a  bit weird to calculate how much Qatar spent on the cup because technically speaking they didn't spend that much on the cup but on the nation. Like they included every road, hospital, hotel, school, houses, and of course stadiums. Now I can understand stadiums, maybe hotels could make "some" sense, but when we are talking about roads? Really? I have seen they had a line that said 1.3 billion on the roads, come on man if you didn't had that specific road then you should have and don't include that.

I think it's overblown and they added every single thing that is possible into the calculation and made a wrong one. That way it looked so high that they actually deserved to get it but I feel like they didn't deserve it at all.

As for whether or not to remove the tyre heating blankets in 2024, Pirelli has said that the impact of this decision on the show in races will be critical. One of the hallmarks of racing in F1 is the strength of the lap time advantage a new tire provides over an old tire if a driver pits earlier.
If the tires take longer to reach their highest potential, this can eliminate premature pitting altogether, forcing drivers to be more conservative about pit stops. Because i think it is unrealistic to start using tires that don't need preheating, to expect them to perform like tires that are heated before being fitted to the vehicle. If you start with a cold tire, you cannot have the grip given by the pre heated tire. Updates need to be done from the right perspective.
That would change a strategy situation, drivers are still the same drivers, the teams are basically the same, and yet changing the tires would change the pit strategy and that's a different approach. I feel like it is going to take a while before people could see it as a change that is good. Remember, whenever F1 had any change, that means that there will be a lot of trouble coming to it and that would result with terrible backlash from the fans at first.

After a while we will get used to it though, so heat it before or just during, it won't be that much of a trouble since everyone would have the equal situation but that doesn't mean that we would have everyone accepting it quickly, it will definitely be a bit different for a while before we get used to it.

Mane not coming back to Liverpool is actually a good thing for Liverpool. They have spent a whole season trying to replace him on their tactic, going back to what it was would create a lot of trouble. They are going to be fine with Nunez at the front and Diaz at the wing, that may not be as good as what they used to have, but it is getting better. I believe that they are going to be top four again this season, but not only that they are going to really fight off harder competition as well.

Newcastle and United are doing much better, with new ownership deal United might be even better, Chelsea is rich and doing a lot of moves, Arsenal showed they could have won the title, and City is.. well they are City. So when you consider that, there are 5 great teams, and they need to beat 2 of them to be in the top four, harder competition.

I understand that PSG would like Mbappe to stay, that's guaranteed, they love him and want him to stay. But I agree that everytime there is a contract talk, he ends up making it as long and tough as possible and I do not think that it is going to be that easy to decide.

So long story short we are talking about a tough deal here, Mbappe could be gone and I do not think that it will really matter I think it is quite important to realize he might be just sold off. That way they won't have to keep worrying about what's going to happen with him. He will be gone, and instead of having one superstar that keeps on creating these troubles for them, they could have a whole team that's good and a single player leaving wouldn't make the team terrible.
