PSV manager Van Nistelrooy just resigned before last round, interesting how it's going to affect team. These news is big surprise for me, but he said that he didn't got support from club board. 2nd place in league and win in Cup probably can't be called as bad season. AZ - PSV should be very interesting. While I wouldn't keep big expectations on Twente. They have secured 5th place, so this game before playoffs doesn't matters much for them, while for Ajax it's still important game.
Who knows what the problems really were, but for him this was usually a good start into his career as a coach. I think being the coach of PSV gives you access to a squad and a league where you can learn a lot. If he didn't have support from the board, that is another issue. But now I wonder what his next stop will be as a coach. But since he had a great career as a player as well it shouldn't be too hard for him to find something appropriate.
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.

Those people could never learn from that misconception, instead would still gamble and try to make money. They really don't realize what they are doing is wrong and need to fix it before becoming a full-blown gambling addiction.

And for those who don't agree with us, we can never make them see the difference because they will stick with it without wanting to change it or accept it. And we can only let them be like that and see the reality that will happen later.
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.
1644  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Discussion (Altcoins) / Re: Betswirl: A Web3 Gambling Platform on: May 25, 2023, 03:30:51 PM
Have you played at this casino yourself? I am asking because if this is a new casino i would be hesitant to connect my wallet to that site as there are a lot of scams where your coins are lost if you connect your wallet with scam sites.
This is a no-go zone. I do like the web design and even plan on testing the site but when I saw that I had to connect my wallet to the site before I can start using it I had to pause.

But if I'm ever to use the site I'd have to create a new wallet and fund it with a little amount to check if the site is a scam or not (although just a single test won't prove the genuinity of the site), the wallet creation is just a precaution.
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.
1645  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What kind of rewards/bonuses do you prefer? on: May 25, 2023, 11:42:20 AM
You already Have a good bonuses and was wondering why you are asking for another sets?
Two heads are better than one. Community discussion will lead to more advices which can help a gambling site. I like this kind of discussion, it can help.

To encourage more people into your gambling site, welcome bonus of 100% deposit is good. There are many gambling sites that are offering that.
Competition is laudable in every business sector as a way to offer customers a better service but while competing it shouldn't be done above your shoulders. What I mean by this is that not because other gambling sites are giving a 100% bonuses on every deposit then another gambling site should follow suit knowing fully well that their financial power is way below that of the other.  If a gambling site wants to give out deposit bonus then it should be a percentage they can meet up at all cost to avoid the challenges that could risk their reputation cause they couldn't meet up what they had earlier promised that drew people's attention in the first place.
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 members of this forum do not let any single detail pass them, people realized very soon that there was something wrong with the chat and immediately brought the attention of the community to this, now I could understand that a casino may want to bring the impression they are more popular than what they are, as this could increase the amount of gamblers they can attract, however there is a fine line there in which their efforts could be interpreted as deceiving advertising and I think they have crossed that line already.
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.
1648  Economy / Gambling / Re: 🥇BEST CASINO IN 2023 - Community decide🥇 on: May 24, 2023, 07:43:02 PM
I never imagined that this forum already has many reputable and well-known casinos. That is a list of casinos that might be our choice in gambling, but we have to select them to find the best for us. I chose Stake because I can choose as many gambling games as I want there. And every time I gamble, I change games, especially slot games. But there are some other casinos that I occasionally go to and gamble too, and it's great if we have a list of other casinos to gamble at so we don't choose the wrong casino.
Mate, I have no doubt you would go for stake as I already see you on the signature and avatar.  Although your casino seems good and have stand the test of time, having billions already realized from wagers but do you really think mere sayings to be rooting for stake would be fine. Come to talk of it, OP did not clearly state the guidelines for the award and this shows a lack of communication and poor information dissemination
 OP could not Atleast coordinate this board properly but quickly to jump in when ever their is any reply likely to support OP motion.

It is not all about gathering names for nomination OP. What are the guidelines for awardee nomination and awards recipient? OP should say something about it?
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.
1649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: May 23, 2023, 08:45:18 PM
That is understandable. There are certain associate teams that are happy, with whatever they are getting from the ICC. I am referring about teams such as Czech Republic and Romania, which are entirely consisted of Indian and Pakistani medical students who are temporarily residing in these countries. As per ICC's revenue distribution formula, these teams get the same share of funds as genuine teams such as Argentina or Israel. So they are happy, because they get all the money for themselves and don't need to spend any money for development or any other activity since no one else plays cricket in these countries. 
If that is the case and I know that ICC knows that is the case, they should be getting a lot less money compared to what the genuine teams are getting. But I do not believe that the ICC are actually going to do something about it. It's not that they don't know any better. It's just because they simply do not care. The world of the ICC revolves around the top 4 teams. Outside of the top 4, I don't think ICC actually gives a damn about anything. Otherwise, they certainly would have given the teams which are actually made out of native players at least double the money that they are giving to the deals which are made out of foreign players.

Is it just me or anyone else think that the money distribution from ICC doesn't make sense at all?
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.
1650  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Teaching children Bitcoin is not in vain on: May 23, 2023, 06:09:22 PM
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.
1651  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: May 23, 2023, 04:26:40 PM
Using AI is not a bad idea, but we must know that it is not in every aspect of gambling that this technology should be applicable for us, there are scenarios that we will need the human thinking a d reasonings to effect a decision, everything is not to be keft in the hands of this technology without us taking proper and necessary actions before we may not be able ro anymore, though i believe in the many advantages the AI technology brought in so far, thing which should have taken time could be achieved in more lesser time.
Everybody can choose when to use AI. Today everybody can get access to chatgpt or some other AI. The problem is to get data that the AI has to analyze. But if you have this information, you can analyze it by yourself. It will take more time but during analyze you can find some additional information that AI willn`t use due to filters, it can become an advantage.
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.
1652  Economy / Economics / Re: Will inflation in the world grow by 2023? on: May 23, 2023, 11:35:05 AM
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.
1653  Economy / Speculation / Re: BITCOIN BULL MAY BE IN TROUBLE on: May 22, 2023, 08:48:19 PM
i believe that bull is in trouble because if not we can maybe feel it right now, most of coin are down and btc is struggling under 30k$ i dont know if it will go up above my expectations this month which is 35k$, there is always a risk so we need to always set a limit, if bitcoin will not reach 35k$ this month the bull run is maybe happen next year and not this year.
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?
1655  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a web3 casino for you? on: May 22, 2023, 06:54:33 PM
The concept of Know your client regulations and Web3 casinos are not compatible, because the concept of the Web3 itself (not only on casinos but also in any kind of service) is the fact users, clients and gamblers can identify themselves only by holding their personal keys.

I agree with you that governments wont like the idea of such services to become popular, but they already do not like the existence of Decentralized exchanges like Uniswap and there still is, accumulating volume and number of users.  Tongue

The decentralization makes it harder for centralized entities to attack providers. Bitcoin is a good example of it.
Well, Bitcoin is another thing, it is a coin and not a platform or a website, and it is not really that hard for them to find the owners of a platform since it has a website and they can easily get the details of the person who registered the domain, etc. If they want, they can easily reach the decentralized platforms and regulate them.

For now, they are not attacking decentralized platforms but they are in the verge of doing that, so it won't be wrong to say that in near future, the authorities will start either regulating or shutting down decentralized platforms as well, including casinos, exchanges, and everything else.
1656  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Another side of Sports betting you may not know about on: May 22, 2023, 01:56:11 PM
Especially if many people are involved in such practices, they would cover it up tightly and not let anyone else know about it. The checks carried out may only be for formality so that the public knows that the officers involved have checked everything and made sure everything is safe. Maybe big fights are the main target, but they will involve a lot of people in it, and if it gets caught by the public, it could cause the public's trust to drop drastically, and they won't give their support anymore.
that's the risk, but we can see that at the moment there is no news whatsoever about insider betting news. It is indeed completely private and only a few people know about it, and many money transactions are carried out. this could be a side practice of some other player or staff, a behind the scenes practice completely protected from the outside world.
inspection is only a formality, but in reality all rottenness is properly covered up. Nowadays platforms for betting are easier to access, easier to do without a trace.
With cryptocurrency casinos available all around the world, it is not a matter anymore to place bets on sports events from anywhere, so if an insider wants to place bets, they can easily do it with a cryptocurrency casino without anyone noticing or having any doubt unless the person who makes the bets gets caught because of his mobile being examined which is not a very likely scenario.

So with the advent of online casinos, it has become very easy for insiders in sports to cheat and win a lot of money by placing bets on teams they know will win their sources are never wrong, and no one can really stop all this.
1657  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: May 22, 2023, 12:40:59 PM
Scamming through roulette is definitely possible. However, can I ask you to gamble a same size bet on all 36 numbers except 0 and see if the casino manages to bring up number 0 only in the very same game? If they do, can you please repeat it and see if they do it again in the next game too? I'm not favoring any casinos here and I know that such practices do take place in roulette, however not all of them would do it.  As well, it's not the casino specifically but the game provider that does this and if that's true, we should never play games from such game providers because they'll only try to loot your money by making you lose every single bet. Even in the game of cards (be it blackjack, poker, andar bahar, etc.) I have witnessed that most of the times, dealer wins. So it's possible that they have something behind the scenes that we don't know about.
The problem with that is, in online casinos there are a lot of people betting on various numbers and other things like odd and even etc. So, unless you find a time when the whole casino is empty, its probably not gonna work. Also, I'm sure they don't make it that obvious if the casino is actually rigged. I'm sure they are smart enough to no rig it everytime or it would be blatantly obvious and easily caught.
They obviously don't make it so obvious, even a kid would know that he is being cheated if this kind of practice is done with them where he leaves only one number blank and only that number comes up every single time. Even if a casino cheats, they do it in such a way that their gamblers won't even realize that they are actually being cheated.

When it comes to roulette, I think cheating on it can be pretty easy since there are a lot of outcomes and no one would even doubt if the outcome has been manipulated or controlled by the management in any way possible.
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: May 22, 2023, 11:28:03 AM
There was a sweet taste to City's win, as Real Madrid were responsible for knocking out Manchester City last year. This year you only have Inter Milan left. Normally no match for Manchester City, but what is normal? Way back in 2011 we saw Bayern Munchen at home in the final against Chelsea, and that too was 1-0 until the last minute and then Chelsea won on penalties. Inter is therefore certainly not without a chance. Haaland is a big threat, but Lukaku is also a very good striker for Inter.
Every thing is right about Manchester City and their success against Real Madrid but still this is not guaranteed for them to be title winner because soccer is surely game of surprises with many hot favorites are having the worst day with the results as well until now most pundits and analysis experts are predicting about Manchester City win but how things happen in Istanbul nothing is clear.

I personally feel Italians are the best architectures of soccer, and they can change things drastically without any problem most chances they will be having their strategy how to control Haaland and how to handle Manchester City from winning their first Champions League title in years with this all now all will be decided in ground and can Pepe win his maiden Champions League title for the current club it is a big question.
1659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Does Bitcoin or cryptocurrency offer loan service? on: May 22, 2023, 08:56:44 AM
Banks are controlled by people and are a business that is run only to earn money, and giving out loans is one of their most profitable products to earn money, while on the other hand, Bitcoin is decentralized and isn't in anyone's possession, so it doesn't need money, so there is no need for Bitcoin to provide loans for people only to get some interest.

If you talk about exchanges or some other platforms and protocols like DeFi protocols, they do offer loans to their users and charge interest from them since they are not decentralized and the people behind them need money to run their projects and pay their workers.

Sevilla is the Queen of Europa League and whenever they reached the finals , they won it but this time they are facing As Roma.

AsRoma of Mourinho , a masterclass in defense and I'm afraid Sevilla won't beat Roma this time and this will only solidify the name of Mourinho as probably the best coach ever and also the first one to win Conference League and then Europa League and imagine if he leaves Roma and goes to Real and win UCL with them in 3 consecutive years getting 3 European trophies...it's just insane to think about it but the first two of them are already completed so we just need a move from him back to Real this summer.
There is no doubt about this all UEFA and Mourinho have good love affair which is going to have new chapters in soccer history with Conference Cup now Europa Cup and next year Champions League this could be another amazing stuff from him if happen but whom with because right now we have PSG which is looking for his services and can they achieve this it has never been easy but under Mourinho all are possible.

But if we have him at Real Madrid then surely this could be another chapter in soccer history because they are capable of doing things like no one can expect, so three years and three different UEFA trophies mean Mourinho the magician is going to rule soccer here in UEFA.
