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.

I was also curious about the anonymity part and the video thing, I think they might actually record the video since they are conducting a research study and will probably need all the answers they have got from the interviews conducted, so basically, there is no anonymity in it apart from that your video or anything will only stay with them if they are honest.

About the payment part, they should probably increase that and have a limit available for interviews, like conducting interviews with just 10 people paying $20 each, etc. That would probably look better and might attract better users for the interviews.

No, it's not normal. Though most of the platforms or websites mentioned in their terms and conditions that they have all the rights to make any changes, add or remove or modify any rule from their terms and conditions without having to inform anyone. Usually, when there is a change in the privacy policy or terms and conditions, they send an email to notify their users along with the new and updated ToS or Privacy policies.

It's obviously unethical if they change something from it that directly or indirectly affects their users or gamblers, in that case, they are supposed to let their gamblers know right after the change is made so that they can change their practices and keep the change in their minds all the time.

Those who have bought very low or those who are afraid to keep holding longer will probably sell if they think the price is good enough for them and they will get enough profit from their assets if they sell, but those that have their eyes on the bull run and a new all-time high and have diamond hands will always keep holding even if the price drops again after going significantly high.

And when there are dips, the thing is, not everyone can always buy more because they don't have liquid currencies that they can use to buy more Bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, that is the reason why most part of the general public doesn't like dips.

Too many factors as Chelsea is having worst end of this season and now matter is not about UEFA qualification they are ending this season with 11th or 12th spot which is worst for them in years and this all happen just because of change of ownership after this we have three coaches change and things gone on wrong way which create problems even they have top quality players, but sadly they were doing things without any strategy, so they have to face consequences.

In next season can they improve, or we have to face troubles again it's never been clear because now English Premier League is not easy for the top teams with Arsenal and Newcastle United and Manchester United are strengthening their squads power for competing teams like Manchester City and Liverpool so if they want to do better than surely they need to work on better strategy.

Even most of the peoples are having not positive view about Mourinho but still we are watching under him how AS Roma is improving and now having chance to win second title into UEFA which is surely impressive with most chances things are not easy for both teams because due to poor form in domestic season both are under pressure but still both have potential to win this title here most now feeling AS Roma is favorite due to having experienced coach but still as Sevilla done in previous matches specially against Manchester United and Juventus it's never been easy for them to win here.

Sevilla is also improved amazingly and now having good chance for the next season's Champions League spot in case of win, so they will also try their best because due to poor form in domestic things are not ideal for them to have any UEFA spot for the next season.

He resigned before last round match even his team is at second spot and have good chance for staying here with Ajax is going to visit Twente and have chance to win but PSV which is going to visit Alkmaar for their last game against AZ Alkmaar is also going to have chance for the better result but PSV board is not happy, so they announce this all and end first year as coach on high note.

From here if PSV lost then surely we can blame board for this because they need to do things like these after end of season right now before last match surely this is disturbing for all team, but things could be good in new season because now both top teams are having overhaul in squads with new coaches hopefully they will fight back for the top ranks or Feyenoord will not allow them for having any chance again with their performance and quality.

I've seen the video before and I believe those robbers or thieves were probably Bitcoin illiterates since we all know that not a lot of people in the US at that time knew much about Bitcoin and how it works and how to use it. And those thieves were probably totally illiterate drug takers as well and all they needed was something that they could sell for some money.

And even if the guy wasn't what I'm saying, he probably was in a rush and didn't notice the paper that had the private keys written on it, otherwise, someone would probably not let something like that get out of their hands.

Realization is a very rare thing and only a few people got it in them, and gamblers, they mostly lack this ability to realize what they are getting themselves into until they are totally sunk into the addiction and have almost spent everything they may have had back in the day, realizing things that late doesn't really work or has no essence at all.

There is basically nothing you can do to make someone realize their mistakes unless they have it in their heart as well, otherwise, no matter how hard you try, you will only be wasting your time and theirs as well.

Usually a scam site won't make an effort to make a good web design because they will just throw away this site later on but I am not saying that this site here or those who have a good web design are now legit. Scams can still happen on them sometimes. The idea is for the people to get attracted. The tagline of the casino says "Web3".

I think it's normal that a web3 site will ask for their user to connect their wallet first before they can gain access to it. If we still have doubts we can follow the advice that you gave there. If the casino seems fine. We shouldn't be confident easily but continue playing using small amounts on a dummy wallet. A couple of months or even a year, must be enough to have a full conclusion if the casino is safe or not.

Things don't work that way in businesses, plans are made beforehand based on the budget available, they don't make the plans first and then see if the budget can be enough for it or not. Running a casino or any business is no joke, but with proper management and planning of things needed to be done, it can be run pretty well.

You are right that they should plan their bonuses based on their budget and not by trying to be on top of their competitors since that can obviously make their budget and plans both go in vein and no proper outcome will be seen.

I believe that Heat will win the fifth game, they are much more likely. That will give both teams a bit to relax and that will be fine. I am not entirely sure how easy or hard that game will be but I know that Heat has a huge advantage and that gives "hopeless" feelings to Celtics. Not that they can't win, look at how they won this one, so it is obvious that they are capable of winning, but I feel like they are not going to get that again, Heat played unlike they used to so far, and they were looking like they underestimated Celtics, they won't do that mistake again.

We just need to look forward, I will double my bet each time Celtics wins and will bet on Heat and eventually win that for sure, that's easy betting right there. I just don't know about the finals though.

The line has obviously been crossed since the users have been writing posts about what's happening and how they are seeing the platform and the things that are happening but the representative on this forum isn't even responding to any of the messages and posts of the users, they are either planning an excuse or have decided to just pull out of the forum.

Either way, the reality will be out pretty soon. If they show up on this thread, they surely owe an explanation for whatever shady stuff is seen on their website and social channels, and if they don't, it's crystal clear what their intentions are.

It's not that she is bias or what but Stake is truly a quality casino and I believe many users here or outside can agree with it. No wonder why it always seen on the top on most casino review sites. OP might be choppy in here but we can try to visit his website. Let see if we can find more information there about the contest. Like on any awarding events, nominees are usually performing great from the rest.

In terms of a crypto casino, it could be they have a wide range of games and supported cryptos. They have a generous rewards, responsive support, and the list goes on. There are other great casinos mentioned apart from stake so it's going to be a tough game.

ICC can implement many rules and other things for checking merit, quality and other relative things, but sadly they are not interested with this all if they will do anything then surely they will face consequences as well which will be not good for them so just because of this all is well going here right now and mostly teams with native countries are suffering badly which is surely going to hurt this game as well but who cares.

Right now, most beneficiary from these rules are Gulf region countries and few boards in ICC not want to hurt them which is surely helping countries like Romania, Czech Republics and Denmark which having players from Pakistan and India which are staying there just on visit visa.

But, I was minimum from ICC they try to fix a rule with every team must have 4 or 6 native players, surely this will also help this game but most chances they will also not go with this as well.

I am sorry but it is not going to be something that I could actually consider as an alright situation, I obviously would love to have kids learning but we are not going to really be able to teach children who do not want to learn neither. Have you ever seen kids that are 12 years old or younger? It is practically impossible to teach them anything substantial, no need to, you could teach them life skills, things that will make them understand how life works, the simple things, and all the "thanks" when they need to say, so being polite, all that.

But, when we are talking about teaching them knowledge? How many of you remember how many things you learned before you were 12? Not many right? You went to school hours and hours a day, and what have we learned? Most of them we learned afterwards, aside from simple stuff obviously.

An AI model can be pretty good if used for research and analysis, but when it comes to gambling, it won't be able to help anyone with that since it hasn't been made that way. These existing AI models are not that strong that they can beat humans in their own game where skills play a great role and it isn't just about copying, manipulating, and pasting data.

What the current versions of AI models do best is take some data, analyze it, manipulate it, and represent it the way the user wants it, and it works pretty perfectly for that purpose so it should be used for that purpose.

The cost of production of goods keeps increasing as we move into the future, and that causes an increment in the inflation of a country since companies producing these products will tend to sell them at a higher price, and then merchants sell them at even a higher price to the public. The government can control inflation but only if they manage to generate enough money within the country to spend on things that cause this.

Some governments manage to control inflation by reducing the cost of agricultural products which then reduces the production price of different products and the public gets better prices for those products.

Why do you think that the price of Bitcoin for the whole year will be determined based on its price by the end of this month? There are 7 more months after this one for the year to end, so anything can happen in these 7 months. And expecting $35k only within this month is too much in my opinion, the price might not even go above $30k this month.

Even if it manages to go above $35k in the next month, we will surely see the price going around $45k by the end of the year since that will bring some positive sentiment in the market and most people will stop panicking.

I am not entirely sure about these racism talks in la liga. Since I am not Spanish, I wasn't really paying attention to what happened and I just learned it from the news but it feels like such an easy fix, and yet there are no fixes? Is that it? Like people can call out racist stuff like monkey to Vini jr., and then the league decides not to do anything about it?

I understand freedom of speech is a thing and that is why people could do anything they want and say anything they want unless they physically hurt someone, and they did not "physically" hurt vini, which means it was under the rule of freedom of speech. But are they not aware that what they are saying is horrible? Like are they saying "it is within my rights to call a black person monkey", is that their defense? It makes sense to them? Really?
