1601  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Eredivisie 22/23 - discussion thread on: June 01, 2023, 08:08:39 PM
We did not get the expected performance from Ajax in this match. Ajax has scored a lot of goals this season as in previous seasons. And they don't concede too many goals. However, Ajax have won just 20 of their 34 matches this season. Ajax have scored 86 goals this season. League champions Feyenoord scored 81 goals. Ajax should balance their performance.

Next season Ajax will definitely be playing for the title. PSV, Alkmaar and Feyenoord will also be looking to win the title. So far we have only seen the dominance of Ajax in the Eredivisie. But several teams will be aiming for the league title next season. It won't be easy for Ajax to become champions.
Ajax were simply not as dominant as in previous years and conceded too many goals, especially in the crucial games, such as against PSV. They conceded twice as many goals as last season, you can't win the championship like that, especially Feyenoord having a great season.

Things are happening at Ajax and they know they need to strengthen their defence and they will invest in that i think. Next season could be another three-way battle for the title, but can Feyenoord produce a second outstanding season?
There is no doubt about Ajax failure in this season and their worst performance in last 14 years as well but here we need to check few ground realities as well which will give us better view about this result with hopefully things will be better in future even now situation is very tough because Feyenoord will keep this momentum and PSV and Ajax have to increase their quality if they want to have better results.

Ajax lost coach and few top quality players to Manchester United in early weeks of this season and from here things gone in wrong way even they have done good, but this was surely not as par fans were expecting now they have enough funds which can allow them for having better results and good coach as well which can bring better things in future.

Now in near future, we will have improvement in few other teams as well as AZ Alkmaar which is also trying their best for better results and surely now with this challenge could be tough and competition is not going to easy for them as well.

It's only been 2 days and you are already accusing them of not paying you, it's a $500k withdrawal for God's sake, give them some time to verify you and everything involving you and your account and gambling activities, etc. None of the attached screenshots show that they are refusing to pay you, all they said is that you should be patient as they are checking and verifying everything.

You should accuse a platform only if they have either blocked your account and confiscated your funds or refused to pay you, but in this case, I see neither happening, so it is obviously you who is getting a bit hasty and I can understand that because it's big money but the casino will probably need to take its time too.
1603  Economy / Gambling / Re: Using ToS against users normal? on: May 31, 2023, 09:20:31 PM
Changing of terms and conditions without notifying the users or gamblers is normal with online gambling websites? Then when you did something wrong or about to withdraw your money they will tell you that you don't read their terms and conditions, and you start arguing with them until you decide to read the ToS again and you find out that it's different.
Its a common law to notify its users whenever there's a chance of terms, because its like a contract between the users and business provider. If they never notify its users then the changes of the term cannot be execute or followed, and wont take effect.
Its users can file a case against the service whenever users are violated because of the changed terms so feel free to execute your rights.
Can a user actually file a case against a casino only because they didn't notify them for modifying the terms and conditions? I don't really thing that's a thing, because most of the casino platforms mention in their terms and conditions that they have all the rights to make changes, add more rules, or modify an existing one whenever they deem right, and in that way, a user doesn't have much of a say in it.

I understand that it is unethical for a platform to make a change in its terms and conditions that will directly affect its users or their activities and still don't notify them but I don't think that a user has much to do in such a case apart from leaving the platform for good.

Leaving championship aside, what do you think next week will be like? Galatasaray already champions, Fener needing points, and we are going to see Galatasaray not even play with 100%? On the other hand the cup will be there and all the celebrations will be at home, so they will want to win the game so the celebrations would mean something.

Losing the game and then raising the cup to the air would feel a bit cheap, even though they have guaranteed to win the league already, they may want to win so that the afterwards with all celebrations would mean something. I am not sure who to bet, I will probably bet on Galatasaray to win, but I would say there is a good chance that Fenerbahce could see this as revenge and play very hard and win the game as well.

This bot thingy problem exist for a long time. I doubt casino is tryingmto solve it since they are benefiting from it to boost their engagement with their post even its not organic. Only normal players like us that can’t win due tomthis cheaters are complaining and only few gave their sentiment so this problem doesn't address properly.

Airdrops on crypto is still can’t solve this no matter how hard they requirements since cheater will always find a way to cheat and take advantage on free money. Ignoring the giveaway is one way to let our mind calm down or just participate but don't expect to win.
I think that's a good way to increase the follower number to be fair, not a good follower you want but the number is there. I can start a twitter today, and within one day I could make it go to 1000+ followers, without ever buying a bot. How could I do that?

I could just do a 500 dollar giveaway, like 10 lucky people wins, and in order to join the draw you need to follow that account, and retweet the tweet as well, and tag 3 people. Why do you think people do that? Because that actually does work and I have done it before. I helped someone gain 100k followers within 3 months before, and it really worked, they were a friend so I didn't get paid, I just helped, and they said I should turn that into a job, it's that easy to me, but people do not see it.
1606  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you handle long shot bets? on: May 31, 2023, 07:49:23 AM
Well, you are probably playing dice or any other game that gives you a 50% chance of winning with a 2x multiplier, such games can actually become boring after a while if as you said you are playing with the same base bet which is very low and doesn't provide a lot of profit even if you are not losing much, so you should probably change the game and try.

Playing slots might bring in some excitement every now and then, but it also comes with the possibility of getting a big multiplier if you get lucky, you can lose in slots too but it is at least more fun than dice or other games with 50 or 49% winning chances.
1607  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: May 31, 2023, 05:40:39 AM
both ODI and Test format will probably make way for T20 tournaments as IPL team’s are now hiring player’s on a yearly contract thus it’s only a matter of time before ICC cancels Test and ODI matches to allow these Franchise tournaments to thrive. Furthermore I feel that in the end ICC and the other boards will work out a compensation formula and the fan’s won’t mind it as they’ll get them more entertainment but small countries could suffer as they’ll further get very less opportunities to play against the big team’s.
I am feeling we are not having any problem for the test format because this will exist for few more decades but surely feeling not good about ODI because this is completely waste of time because of T20I which is doing much better and now having good time around the world if ICC works on few things surely we will be in IOC as well which will more helpful for this game and many countries but sadly due poor strategy of few top countries things are not going as they needed.

IPL factor is surely having big impact now on cricket, but they also can't go for very long time just 2 or 3 months are enough for them with many other franchises are also creating good things for many countries which are good but now as I already mention we need good changes which helps countries for having better domestic setup and good finances are also important but right now no solid strategy or vision is coming from ICC which is surely never been ideal.

I also doubt Rollbit or any successful casino will ruin their reputation for just like that since they could earn more revenue for providing good service rather than doing some shitty things out here. Many people still believe that this casino is still a one of the best casino exist so unless people think this way then they are still fine.
They will not ruin their reputation, their business after spending years to build it successfully. Pay the users and attract more new users in future is better. It is a strategy of a trusted and successful casino but they will only pay for valid users and valid bets.

If a users is an abusers and bets are cheating their systems, they will not make payments for abusive cases. A big casino is able to pay big amount for big valid win so it's not logic to say they scam some small gamblers with small wins. And if proofs from gamblers are not enough, I have less reasons to think their accusations are actually valid.
Another great deal is not just the work they put in, but the value they created. If they worked super hard and the casino was not really that good and it didn't worth much then they would just scam and get more, that's understandable, there are so many failing casinos out there even after many years and I do not trust them at all.

But rollbit is not one of them, this casino worths a ton and if the owners ever wanted to sell it, they would make insane profit from it. So, why would they get rid of such chance and value by doing something silly like that? It doesn't make sense to shoot yourself on the foot with doing such action. This is why it is not the effort, but the value they created which makes me think that there would never be anything outside of legit ways.
1609  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Educating unemployed friends about Bitcoin on: May 30, 2023, 09:35:04 AM
What is your country's actual stance when it comes to Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies in general? Is it banned, or totally illegal? Or it is just not legal? If it's banned or illegal, I don't think it's a good idea to involve your friends or anyone in it since if things go wrong, you could get in trouble as well if they inquire about the person who is behind teaching them about it.

But still, if you want to go ahead with this, just make sure that you tell them each and everything involved, let them know that there are always two outcomes, their investment will either gain value or lose value with time, and that they should not panic or blame you when the market is dropping and they should have patience and keep holding until it recovers.
1610  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: May 29, 2023, 08:52:42 PM
I am sure that Messi will join Saudi Preimum league and then they will earn alot but arranging messi and ronaldo teams match. They will spend so much on Messi and Ronaldo and they will earn dobule from the matches. Saudi are doing great by inducting great names
Yes, this is likely because Messi is no longer at the top level in Europe and must go somewhere. But I think it would be very risky to get him because he is good when the team is good and plays for him, otherwise I'm not sure that he will be able to show at least what Ronaldo shows being two years older. But maybe sheikhs don't care - they have endless money.
I think he would still be bringing so much talent to so many teams in Europe, so to say that he is not a top talent would not be fair. However, would he be the best player in a UCL title team? Well, that seems like a scenario that will probably not happen, so there is no reason for him to chase any success anymore, it's smarter to go for money instead. He would be fine in SA and he will do alright and he should be spending his last years there making as much money as possible.

There were rumors about 200-300 million a year, that is number you can't refuse, that's just way too much, it's unreal even and I would expect them to get him if they actually do offer him that much. I don't know why they would lose that much money, because it would not be profitable for them, but if they do offer it, then I expect Messi to accept.
1611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: May 29, 2023, 06:36:09 PM
I take a very good advantages of using the information channels to make sure i stayed updated from whatever is going on in general sports activities, this is best used with the influence of my mobile device once am connected to the internet, the world has so advanced in technology whereby everything that we needed can be easily achieved through the use of the internet on social media, there are many platforms as well on areas that we best want to get information on, once we make research on them, we can get the required updates through their information channels.
As long as the information you get comes from a trusted source, it can allow you to choose a team with great potential to win. And the advancement of the internet today makes it easy for us to find reliable sources, and maybe we can get many of them. And I think trusted sources have more information than other places. But we also still research before placing a bet and ensure that our choice has a chance of winning.
There are reliable source and also there are fake source so we need to choose and read carefully before we click as we all know that not all the time internet gives us a good and accurate news and like in betting in sports we need to be updated what teams are now in series or who's fighters fighting. So we need to know it, I that we can put our bet and have the advance and high chances of winning .
Most of the famous news and information outlets that cover sports are reliable sources for getting details and information about specific teams, matches, tournaments, or players, an example of that is ESPN, they have a channel and website as well where you can get a lot of details, news, and information about different sports and players involved in those sports.

It is never a good idea to rely on new information sources since the information they provide can be inaccurate, especially if you are researching so that you can place some bets, wrong information in such cases can cause you to choose the wrong side.
1612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: May 29, 2023, 04:13:00 AM
I seriously did not see this coming, every game I say that Heat will win this time, first it was sweep, then I said 5th game, now I said 6th game and was wrong, well it's about to be 7th game and I wonder what's going to happen. I can't wait to see this because it would be worlds first ever 3-0 comeback and that has a nice ring to it, wouldn't mind it at all.

I think I am going to bet on Celtics, I bet on Heat so far so long and lost, and I think it is obvious that Heat is losing this due to not having enough confidence in themselves and Celtics has a huge momentum. Obviously Heat had momentum of 3-0 as well, and they lost, so Celtics does have the exact same 3 in a row momentum as well and maybe they will lose too? Hmm.. maybe I will refrain from betting this one and just watch as a fan of the game.
1613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 29, 2023, 03:53:09 AM
All the talk online right now and all the jokes is about Luton FC going to premier league with a stadium that should be rebuilt like at 5th league level. There are better stadiums at least a few steps down, and these guys managed to go to premier league with a stadium that looks like hasn't been touched in 50 years and the accomplishment is purely talent wise, no idea how they did that with this kind of budget and this kind of understanding.

I have to say it's quite obvious that they are going to have a huge trouble at premier league, but they just won a huge prize going up, that money alone could be enough to improve everything they need, from stadium to all other facilities, so even if they go down, they will be in better situation at least.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do You Think Casinos Should Do Survey From Time To Time To Assess You. on: May 28, 2023, 08:18:11 PM
So let's give more information about us to a casino so that they would be able to sell it? No thanks, I am not going to give any information to anyone, I feel like this is good enough that they already have so many information of me and they should be glad that I am not doing anything more than that. I get that some people are fine sharing their info, but I am not, I even do KYC only at places that I trust completely and would rather not to do that if given the option not to do it as well.

So, when it's that important to keep my own information, I rather not share them with more information. Not because I do not want them to know, if I knew it would only stay with them then I would, but either they will sell it or get "hacked" and then we are going to get screwed.
I don't think that a casino or any platform would ask for any personal information for taking any surveys apart from the basic questions that they probably already know about you but they still ask them during a survey, and other questions would probably include asking how often you gamble, how much money you use, what's your basic bet size on an average, etc.

Answering these questions shouldn't really be an issue for a gambler considering they have already completed their KYC with the casino and they have more information than what they are asking for within the survey.
1615  Economy / Gambling / Re: blizz.io blatant scammers stay away on: May 28, 2023, 07:44:16 PM
The thing is ... casinos use a system that "flags" a scam matrix and if your play fits that matrix.. your account gets flagged. So you might have been unlucky to fit that scam matrix by accident and they trusted that system to "block" your account.

They should have investigated a little bit more, but I doubt that they will put the effort in to do that.. so you got flagged as a scammer and they hate scammers, so they blocked your account and took your money.

You should play at more reputable gambling sites, with a more "fair" approach to such instances.  Wink
That is pretty unfair and unfortunate too. The casino should at least provide the user with some proof or explanation if they have actually flagged his account for being a scammer because he was gambling with them and has probably deposited money, so he at least deserves an explanation for what they have done to him.

He definitely has no other choice but to choose a different and more reputable platform after this, but I feel this is unfair with players if a casino simply blocks their account and confiscates their money and simply close the case without letting them know the actual reason behind the block or ban.

I have a hard time believing this story to be true, but maybe it is...  As the son, I would probably be trying to get emancipated or just run away with the winnings.  While I'm not totally familiar with their situation, I assume that is a life changing amount of money.  I can understand him not wanting his father's beliefs to damage his personal life experience.  I'm still not so sure how real this story is though.  It seems that people sticking to their beliefs when confronted with life changing sums of money is rare and not something I typically run across.
It's probably true that you can rarely find someone who would reject money they or one of their close ones won only because they don't like gambling or find it unethical or religiously bad, because we live in a world where money is everything and you can do literally nothing if you don't have money, and if you have a life-changing amount of money in your hands, you can't throw it away no matter where it has come from.

But, whether rare or not, such people do exist in the world who respect their principles, dignity, and religious beliefs more than anything and they can refuse to take anything in exchange for spoiling any one of these things.
1617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Advice when you are going a bit far in gaming and betting on: May 28, 2023, 06:36:11 PM
Best form of advice is to quite when you are going too much on a roll, this is because, most at times players think that the ability to chase losses gives Them a chance to recover not knowing that the more you chase after a loss the more you tend to lose more, this is a fundamental truth about gambling losses.
Well, in gambling, the more one gambles, the more the person has a desire to play more, with the thought that every time you fail to gamble again, it is the right opportunity to gamble and win. It goes on and on in the person's mind, and it's left for the person to decide within himself or herself if to stop or not because they are losing so hard. It can be very easy to chase losses because when you want to stop, you will have that inner voice say to you, "Don't leave now; you might win this next round; try this last time." It only takes one who is so self-disciplined and exercises self-control to make the decision to stop when winning seems so tough.
That is the sign of a gambling addict. If things like these keep popping up in your mind:

"Play one more session."
"You will surely win this time."
"You can't lose all the time, this time you will surely manage to win something big and recover everything."

It simply means that you have become addicted to gambling and that is the urge which is keeping you restless and wants you to gamble more even though there is no guarantee that you will actually win but your mind will keep saying that to you so that you do it.
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Ivan Toney's Case and You on: May 28, 2023, 05:34:32 PM
Well, a person who is too indulged in gambling will obviously spend most of their time gambling and if you live with them or around them, you will see them gambling all the time and that obviously indicates that they are addicted to gambling. Anyone doing something excessively is basically an addict of that thing be it gambling or anything else.

To help someone overcome their addiction and become mentally and physically free from this curse, one should try to get them into some other activity that will divert their mindset and thinking and won't let them think all the time about gambling.
1619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Don't gamble if you don't have patience on: May 27, 2023, 08:35:53 PM
I don't know of this has happened to anyone while reading this thread or not.
But rather than saying to anyone not to gamble of they do not have patience, it would be more important in my opinion to keep in mind and advice people not to gamble if they do not have money, spare money. I mean.

Think about it, someone with enough spare money to gamble as a hobby still have a chance to enjoy it and perhaps even pocket some money in a lucky day. Even if that person does not have enough patience.

On the other hand someone with only a couple of bucks to gamble for a whole week, I doubt that person would ever have the chance to enjoy a session and if becomes dependant on gambling, unfortunately it could be matter of time before they try to get money in any way possible.  Tongue
The actual sentence should be, don't gamble if you have a limited amount of money that you don't want to lose and no patience because someone with a lot of money would probably not care even if they lose a lot of money but someone who only has a limited bankroll and can't lose it all will surely be affected if it is lost and we all know it can happen because it's gambling.

So if you are the second person, who has maybe a $100 that he can't even afford to lose and also doesn't have patience, gambling is not for you and you better do something good for yourself with that money instead of losing it on gambling.
1620  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: May 27, 2023, 07:42:55 PM
How can you think that predicting without money can be called gambling? I do not agree.
Gambling is actually not necessarily about money. everything that can be at stake in several choices we can call it a gamble.
as an easy example, my friends and I are betting between students or teachers who will erase the writing on the blackboard first when a new lesson starts. and the loser would polish the winner's shoes for one week.

I don't know what other people think, but in my opinion, it's a small thing that can be bet in any form. I would call it gambling. I made a bet with my prediction.
I totally agree with that, it isn't necessary for it to be called gambling if only money is involved. If anything that is of value to you is put at stake, it could be money, a belonging, your dignity, your time, or anything you can think of, it will still be considered gambling because you are gambling that thing with your prediction that might be wrong and you lose that thing if that happens.

In your case, you guys used to bet your time since the one who lost used to polish the shoes of the other which would be investing your time into it. Similarly, if there is anything at stake, you will have to give that thing away if you lose the bet.
