This may be just me, but I am ok with "slow Joe" as long as there is a proper team behind to get things done. A president must mainly be a leader, and there is no need for hasty decisions nor irate insults to anyone who dares to think differently or criticize.

Regardless, I would also prefer a different candidate for the future. If Joe, Clinton, Trump and the like are really the best the US can offer to itself, something is seriously wrong with the system.

Promotions are all right when you need to grow the site and make plenty of new players, but for other sites that have been running for long, it is much better to create fidelity programmes that reward the players that are most valuable to the site. If other leave and the site has less players than they would like, then it is ok to launch a promotion, which needs to be carefully targeted.

I do not think that a faucet is a desirable feature at all in a casino, particularly on a well stablished one. It seems a not very serious thing to have a "giveaway" and I agree, the risk of bots is very high unless you apply some kind of convoluted captcha. I think that a well stablished site should focus the efforts in creating fidelity systems and using the users data to make sure people stay, particularly big spenders.

From a "pleb" perspective, gambling is either a low intensity thrill - like a small budget every week or so, or a kind of all or nothing stake. In the second case, roulette can be a reasonable option. You would need to hit like 10 successful red/black in a row or go for one or two numbers and hit a couple of times in a row. All quite difficult, but hey, it is plebs prerogative to dream 

There are several sources and estimates between a drop of 4% and 1%, just google a bit if you need to. It is all right if you want to deny and all that, the economy does not care for it - in the end, people loose their employment, investment is reduced and everyone is worse off. Congrats on the "victory".

BTW, again the smoking habits of the RF soldiers has causes problems in their most valued assets. I wonder if there may be also smoking near power production plants in the future.

Most of the KYC process can be outsourced. Due to the dawn of crypto and the fintech in general, these services have appeared all over the place. The key would be to focus on those that offer the best guarantee of compliance with the strictest jurisdiction such as the US and the EU, unless you want to have a hard time avoiding travels or business in these areas.

There are no issues with playing over the phone these days. I heard that in the beginning of the android systems, there were some issues with safety that could be exploited, but no really for the average hacker. As of now the system is probably perfect for the task. If you use IOS it is probably even safer, as Apple keeps their systems semi-closed and have better safety features.

Not at all. For a country in the BRICS group, anything less than growing the GDP by 5% is an absolute failure - which is the case. But that is only the short term. I wonder if RF is counting on China buying their oil and gas, because others will think twice before trusting the crazy Ivans.


No contradiction whatsoever, US is not at war, the US is helping Ukraine at 50% speed. I assume this is something you need to read twice to avoid being confused about it.
It seems that the decision was to get rid of a pro-RF government and choose a pro-occidental government. Who can blame them?

I doubt that Biden or anyone for that matter care about your mythologic beliefs and your imaginary friend.

I know that you have already decided that what you believe is the only truth and that's it so you cannot even do the basic exercise of thinking if it is correct and if all of it is as they are telling you.

Seriously, I respect your right to believe in whatever you want, but if you have even the slightest critical thinking towards Islam, you will see that most of the rules are based on the nomadic life in the desert, old Arabic uses and in precepts that are taken from other mythologies including Hindi, Buddhist, Christian and Hebraic.

The worst thing is the type of Islam that we are seeing around. It is one that places all the stress in rules, and little in humanity. Particularly, continuous display of religious symbols in public and a massive discrimination towards the female and many leaders who argue that they are there "because of God" and can do whatever they want "because Gods tells them to".  Being Muslim and female is an everyday punishment for many.  It is like Europe in the XVI century, burning witches and killing scientists.

I am not sure young Muslims know about how the Islam was just a few decades ago. Much more open, much more relaxed and keen to share and coexist peacefully with others. You should be asking yourself why now Islam is being invasive and confrontational - hint: Money helps a lot spreading a message.

You would need to answer your own question, as you are the one stating that the US is at war, which is not the case.

If you want to know my opinion, the US is absolutely fine with having Adolf Putin in there, at least it gives a certain stability to the whole nuclear thing. The last thing you'd want is the RF to fall in disarray and become a failed state or come into the hands of the more radical branch of the Orc Army, which would happen if the US pressed at 100%. The US game is not difficult to guess, it is just a question of "winning" the war without creating bigger problems.

- Ukraine becomes an ally and the buffer against RF expansion (not just military, also in influence an economic).
- Europe becomes more indebted mainly with the US.
- More weapons will be sold, good for US business.
- Blocks are formed - helpful against China in the near future.
- Europe looses competitiveness as the cheap RF resources are not coming in the near and perhaps long term.

As said many times, the only winner in this war, if any, is the US.

There are very good reasons to pour money and help into Ukraine. As usual, none are particularly altruistic.

BTW, NATO does not "push". It is merely defensive and joining is voluntary. But the question is not about military matters, is a fight for economic influence. I like to think that also democratic principles are involved, but I guess that is just a side effect on this case.

Wake up the bear?? The bear seems to be the second biggest bear in Ukraine for now. May even loose the regional power status if things keep like this.


As far as I am concerned, Ukrainians have the right to make their own decisions. Adolf Putin has to come to the XXI century and understand that governments are to be decided by the people, anything else is Middleage.

You have an interesting style of writing... for example "when Trump wins the elections", when "Rusia wins", when the RF develops this weapon, when... But the "when" and the "ifs" are just wishful thinking.

In this case the latest stuff is the "unstoppable weapon" myth. Look, the RF already has the technology and the ability to use missiles that range from very difficult to nearly impossible to stop, but that does not matter because the can produce a tiny amount of them, some fail spectacularly and they are more expensive that most targets out there. On top of that, they are a weapon of terror, but will not win a war - unless used in quantities that the RF cannot produce.

Why the heck do you thing they are using IKEA drones?


They cannot seek help, RF doctors have gone away.

I seem to recall from my researching years that there is certainly some benefit on daily playing memory and skill games in a computer for those affected. Intuitively, even I feel mentally stronger when I have to study something new or work in something that requires more intellectual effort than usual. Hopefully, science will eventually deliver a "chemical solution" for the problem, for now keeping active is know to be useful

Current projections speak of a population increase reaching the 11 billion mark and then stabilising or even declining. However those predictions, since Maltus spoke a about the positive checks in population, have usually failed. The resources required to sustain population are subject like everything else to technological advances, and that could include for example the de-salinization of water or better crop growing techniques.

As usual, I have a though on why would anyone sell a profitable cash making machine, as that is what a casino is really. I would like to know more about the owner in the first place and understand if it is an entrepeneur and has a good reputation, in which case this is a valid exit strategy. As Buffet said one, there are many reasons to sell a stock but there is only one reason to buy

In my view you cannot really compare gambling and trading. Gambling should not be stressful, it is just a game and it has to be played for leisure, except pro-poker and the like. But trading is not a game, it is a real profession and done properly, is based on facts and analysis, a different thing is people trying to think of it as being a game. I would rather say it may be a profession.

I am surprised to see this here - as it seems to be more of an accusation thread - but also because Playbetr has been around for quite a while and I am not aware of any accusation or any wrongdoing being reported. I am talking that campaigns have been going on for more than a year and there are lots of players that could have found anything if there is anything to be found.

If I am not wrong there is already an extensive eco-system built around the on-line gaming market and linked mostly with "Twich" as a real time streaming platform. I do not see why there would not be individual betting as there is collective betting on teams and very large prices to be honest. However, I do not see this being integrated in betting platforms, but rather a separated bit.

I think most people t this point can tell that there are a lot of buzz words in anything that is innovative or recent. Web 3.0 is kind of a buzzword, an different people may understand different things and some sites will just, as usual, claim to be W 3.0 just to attract more customers. The key is to see what is real and what is in front of you on a site, do not be fooled for claims if there do nothing for you.

The thought is ridiculous. Setting up facilities that can be perfectly fine in the middle of the Nevada desert or in some stupid lost island in a country that is right by the door of an aggressive military local power is just so stupid that only the feeblest minds can fall for it. I am sure there are plenty of labs in Ukraine, there are certainly hundreds in a 100 mile radius of where I am right now. Calling something "bio-lab" is playing with words, like if anything that start with "bio" is something to be afraid of. So silly.


The US has gained the animosity of many. Most of them irrelevant in the world order, but Saudi Arabia and part of Latin America have made a point of playing either neutral or against US. They do not seem to fear the repercussions, right or wrong? Time will tell.

Guy is guilty as sin, to jail with him and throw the key in the sea.  There must be no special treatment for monetary and fiscal offences, it is as bad as stealing and there has to be an exemplary punishment. The gold is so shiny and the money so green that hard punishment may be the only deterrent for the future wannabies.


As usual off-topic. You have not been around in the mid-terms have you? Would you like to re-interpret reality for these too?
