Yeah it was nice pace from Norris which was less than 4 seconds in gap to Verstappen this time for 24 laps which in the race is a doable thing to have a go and try to undercut by going first in the box most likely if there is not that real traffic and in this track I think traffic when drivers come out of the box won't be a problem as this is a super fast track and a short one.

I think I was lucky to put my picks 18 minutes before the qualifying started this time as I misjudged the starting time of official qualifying which was 19 PM in Europe time and I thought it was 20 PM,so lucky 2 EBP points and one for the pole of Verstappen,it is always nice to start the race with 3 points already in your pocket  Grin.



Even Max was managing the tyres.

When he pushed he was gaining half of a second per lap.
IF nothing happens there will be no competition for the win.

I doubt nothing will happen considering the weather conditions were not stable at all yesterday and I doubt that have changed in less than 24 hours.So I am expecting a good race which hopefully will start and not risk to see a SPA of 2021 which happened only 2 laps and the race was considered done after the fans waited there for more than six hours to see that race and that was a big disappointment for them,I hope this will not happen here.

Yet I am hoping some light rain to medium rain accompanies the race,the whole race would be wonderful as this would make us see which driver is the best under such conditions and maybe we will see another different winner for this race.

It is normal that the biggest difference is the privacy and I am not saying pseudo-privacy like many refer to it when talking about crypto casinos,the reason for this being simple,even though they can do a blockchain analysis to link your crypto address to the wallet they can never know when you exchange the money to which credit card it came for example,something that it can never be done with the FIAT casinos as they will need these details in order to release you the payment.This together with provably fair,a much more amount of game providers in favor of crypto casinos make crypto casinos better and even crypto gamblers better compared to regular gamblers.

The goal by Newcastle against Arsenal is illegal. I don't know what those VAR referees were doing. This is ridiculous.
There was a foul in attack, committed by the Newcastle player against the Arsenal player, which was close to the Arsenal goalkeeper.
This goal is a joke. This is the second time VAR is failing, after the Liverpool goal against Tottenham, which was unfairly denied.
Maybe VAR should be cancelled. VAR is doing more harm to the football than it goes any good.
Newcastle became a really strong team and they will have big influence in the Premier league, but the fair result of this game was 0-0.

It is not the VAR fault,no not at all,it is the referees fault still that apparently no one at UEFA/FIFA take any measure against them even though they have enough evidence in front of them to judge fairly yet they seem to do what they want and not caring at all for such clear evidences.

VAR is a wonderful technology but are the referees as always the faulty people who impact the games,I know referees are human and prone to human error yet it cannot be forgiven when they clearly make a mistake with all such evidence in front of them.
1704  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Demo vs Real slots on: November 05, 2023, 10:28:12 AM

My question is, why does the demo mode seem to pay more than the real mode, and has anyone else noticed this difference?

Casinos are giving us a sense of false hope. When we have demo mode, it seems that it is very easy to win and you might win big. So obviously demo mode is rigged somewhat to favor us.

But when you change it to the real mode with real money, that's where the switch happens. RTP has been change and there will be more near hit or near miss and obviously they are going to play with our emotions. And so we might go and deposit for more and the next thing we know, we have been losing like hundreds and if not thousand in just one sitting and we can't control ourselves because we think that we might replicate what the demo mode shows us.

For that specific slot the OP is talking here damn how true is what you saying about the near miss.That slot will play with your emotions in a truly brutal way and I am speaking from personal experience as that has been the slot I am playing constantly from more than 2-3 months now,they will put that x100 multiplier with the biggest near win of hearts and your heart will go oh I hit the max win but no,it will give you 7 hearts instead of 8 f*cking your emotions real hard  Grin.

Even the enhanced RTP version called Sweet Fiesta will do the same except only it will be even more brutal to your emotions  Grin.

I never expected Barcelona to win against Real Sociedad at Sociedad home yesterday night based on their recent form but I think it is exactly these type of games that makes a difference between which team is for real one of the strongest and with the most experience.Now Real Sociedad should think that they will be doing OK if they end up in a Champions League spot during this season although judging from the form of Barcelona,Girona,Atl.Madrid and Real Madrid things look pretty complicated for them to achieve such achievement,so most likely they should be happy with an Europa League spot which is something that they can achieve easily.
1706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Out of curiosity, how much you wagered recently? on: November 05, 2023, 09:59:31 AM
I think we have a winner here:

Tyler “Trainwreckstv” a prominent Twitch streamer, has allegedly embarked on an extraordinary gambling journey, with a jaw-dropping $14 billion in bets placed on the online crypto gambling platform

I saw people wagering a lot of money, but this guy took it to some higher levels... How can we compete in some wagering wars and competitions against players who wager so much? Do we even have a chance? Smiley

Of course normal people do not stand a chance against such guys who for them I assume gambling is everything in life otherwise there is no explanation as to why some person need to wager 14 milliard dollars.We don't stand a chance and for us mere humans I loved the Play n Go tournaments at Sportsbet.io in 2019-2020 as now they don't offer anymore this provider but in there it was the total amount of money wagered and we were allowed to bet 0.10 dollars as the minimum bet so we could play really long with a low amount of money,this is what normal people wager  Grin.

Hi guys, do you feel like pragmatics is really bad lately? I played several games from pragmatic play last week from all freespin purchases the results were very bad and it was very difficult to get bigwin. Then for 2 days I tried playing demo mode from pragmatic and the results were the same, very bad. Do you think using a VPN has an effect on spins?

No,it is Pragmatic who is real bad for real recently,after getting my near max win of x9833 some months ago since then everything has went dark with this provider especially.The only good slot that I saw at least in demo is paying is this newest Sugar Supreme Power Nudge which when it pays it pays good although it has high volatility.

Using a VPN has no effect on spins as I have tried with RiseUP VPN from quite some European locations from Western Europe and the results were absolutely the same.

I might make risky choices in the last 3 weeks for this reason. For example for pole position.

I see you didn't take the risk after all, and it was the right call. Pole, fastest, all seem safely secured for the Dutchman. We funnily have 8th and 9th the same but no Stroll.

Yeah I couldn't do it for pole position.  Grin  Because it is really difficult to steal a pole position from Verstappen this season. Leclerc did it in Mexico maybe but it was due to a bad last sector by Verstappen on his last try.

By the way we have left the sprint race behind as well. Verstappen won the race which wasn't a surprise. However Norris' pace really impressed me. His start was also effective. These all make think about what he can do in the race tomorrow. If he keeps up this pace he can be one of the biggest candidates for podium. Perez and Hamilton changed roles about performance as well. I wasn't expecting that after watching the recent races.

Yeah it was nice pace from Norris which was less than 4 seconds in gap to Verstappen this time for 24 laps which in the race is a doable thing to have a go and try to undercut by going first in the box most likely if there is not that real traffic and in this track I think traffic when drivers come out of the box won't be a problem as this is a super fast track and a short one.

As I told you sprint race here was fun, one of the best tracks for it.

I'm annoyed by this f1 when drivers can't push due tyres managment.

The sprint race prepares us to see a really nice race tomorrow based on the starting grid of the qualifying of yesterday.I only hope that no bullshit of enter before this lap in pit stop is mandatory is in this track as it would be catastrophic in the loss of spectacle if we have it here.The sprint kept us all "breathless" in the final stages where Ricciardo and Piastri hold back real good against their opponents.Norris did also a great race and during 24 laps the gap was only 3.5 seconds to the leader which in the race of tomorrow with a good strategy it can be overcome.

This is one of those questions that pops up on a regular basis here on gambling discussion but is difficult to answer.

without an open source algorithm ours are simply speculations... it is not possible to use objective data...
a number of plays tending towards infinity would be needed to have a real measure of this phenomenon something clearly impossible ...

Unfortunately this is true.I have played maximum several hours to collect data on that specific slot the OP is asking as that is the maximum time I have to spend on playing the slot and the results more often than not have been more positive in the demo.This may be is because I have this belief that when we play without stress and we don't care that we can lose all the money the slot behaves and performs better,this though remains only a superstition of mine.

The only ones who can answer this are Pragmatic themselves but when I wanted to contact them for a complain they needed me to be a company or they don't reply to personal requests.In the end it remains pure randomness.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 04, 2023, 07:51:37 PM
It was a show of force in tonight main game of Bundesliga between Bayern vs Dortmund where Dortmund clearly lacked the power to answer back to the super aggressive Bayern Munchen way of play which made them win a very important game against a direct opponent.As such I consider Dortmund quite out of the title fight for the moment and so I do also for Leipzig which is shown a huge lack of consistency in their results.

The only team I saw playing entertaining football and winning game after game is Leverkussen which Bayern Munchen could not win at the direct game that was played in Bayern home,this makes me think that they are the only team capable of fighting for the title this year.
1712  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: November 04, 2023, 07:32:39 PM
I keep going from bad to worse but not that I have ever done good in the pool in these years that I have participated except last year where I won a small prize,double the entry fee and with that I paid this entry free,so as long as I am playing free I can't complain much,I just cannot predict draws,the Sheffield United game was the biggest surprise which is a win after so many lost games for them and I am happy for them although I lost points in the pool.

Now Newcastle is winning against Arsenal which will make Tottenham to further create a gap tomorrow if they win their game,it would be nice but I think overall Manchester City and Liverpool to be more consistent in their results for the title fight.
1713  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: November 04, 2023, 02:51:39 PM
Hoffenheim has lost only three our of their nine games so far this season, and they have lost twice at home to dortmund, they are currently at the sixth position with eighteen points on the league table, they could be considered average and shouldn't be underestimated.

The last time Leverkusen met Hoffenheim , they won against them and most often Leverkusen has always won in most of their meetings currently I think Leverkusen has a better form as compared to  hoffenheim and may definitely have a chance to win but I'm sure hoffenheim  will put up a good resistance against them since they will be playing from home.

Leverkussen is on another level this year and they showed just that by scoring a goal in the first 10 minutes of the first half.They know very well that they have to win every single game they play in order to be victorious and have a real chance to fight for the Bundesliga title during this year.They are most likely going to win this game without much problems as now it will be very difficult for them to let the guard down,they will most likely continue attacking in order to close the game and patiently wait for the Dortmund vs Bayern which depending on the result can give them the temporarily top of the standings.
1714  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Demo vs Real slots on: November 04, 2023, 02:38:38 PM
I'm a big fan of slots and I have two or three favorite slots that I play usually. When it comes to RTP and risky slots I prefer Pragmatic as the provider. One interesting thing I have noticed is the difference in winning chances between playing in demo mode and live mode at casinos.

For example last week, I played several bonus buys on the popular Sweet Bonanza slot which is known among gamblers. I played on Coins.game but unfortunately, I lost my entire balance only getting returns of 10x to 120x at the most. To put it simply since maybe it'sduffrent than other slots, when buying a bonus with a minimum of $20, it effectively counts as a $0.2 entry and getting a 100x return means you win back $20 which is just 1x of your initial buy.

So because of this, I decided to try the demo mode on the original pragmatic website multiple times, (running over 100 sessions) and in all of them I have got at least one 200x returns every 10 bonus buys. Which is so different than live mode.

My question is, why does the demo mode seem to pay more than the real mode, and has anyone else noticed this difference?

I have also made a similar thread to talk about exactly the same slot and I thought the same because it looked like in reality the RTP in demo mode paid more but it is not the truth.I played several hours and in a maximum of less than 300 spins I used to get the bonus in demo mode,when I played the real thing it got to even over 1000 spins without bonus and this led me to think exactly the same as you.I did another run though in demo mode soon after and I got the bonus after 800 spins which is in the same range as the real thing.

As for the max multiplier it is super difficult to get even 2000x in such game so there is no real difference in reality it is just the same,it is our perception that is different.

I am not afraid of what can happen in the Nice game today,they have always not been that consistent in the long run and Paris yesterday showed that they are back for real in the game in the title fight.They won easily yesterday night by totally dominating the game while Nice was lucky last time around as it was a stupid red card from a weak Marseille that permitted them to win at home.Things are not going to be that easy for Nice during the game of this weekend no matter who they are playing against,the pressure is all on them now after Paris won their game.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most you have ever lost in one session? on: November 04, 2023, 08:44:02 AM
What is the most money you have ever lost in one session? could be land base casino or crypto casino.

mine was $200,000 on Stake.com 2 weeks ago

That is a freaking huge sum you have lost there but on a side note in Stake that amount in wagered one would be much more than 200.000 dollars and at least you have got to high levels of Platinum which you will get some small benefits in the coming weeks,months and so on,which of course can never make up for that lost amount which as I said is a huge one.

I personally the maximum I have lost in a single session have been some months ago where I lost 1500 dollars which compared to your amount is a ridiculous one yet I never play more than 100-200 dollars a month and for me that is a huge amount lost.
1717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Telegram Casinos good or bad? on: November 04, 2023, 08:01:21 AM
So, the latest trend when it comes to crypto gambling is the new wave of Telegram Casinos . I'm not talking about those early bots where you could play simple blackjack games in a Telegram group; I'm referring to these new crypto casinos like TG Casino, Mega Dice, and Lucky Block. They've created tailor-made mobile casinos for the Telegram audience, allowing players to log in through their Telegram accounts and start playing instantly without the need for KYC.

What do you guys think about this new trend? Is it good or bad?

I prefer more the traditional crypto casinos rather than this new trend which does not offer anything new,well except may be some better practical side to the login to a casino.I don't feel that the login through username/email is something that I found disturbing in the crypto casinos and as long as all reputable casinos offer 2FA that is good for me.In fact by logging with Telegram which is created by two Russian brothers I would not feel that confident by using this app as we know a lot of hacking happened from Russia and spying which could result in bad things happening.

The games in these case,slots are designed to make profit to the casino that is why there is the house edge into it however I agree in part that they are "rigged" because they are ill programmed,nowadays these new slot providers are hiring worthless programmers that keep designing games to immediately take your money in consecutive ways while the providers of before,the ones who used to make land based slots for physical casinos even though the end result was the same,they too get your money their programmers were smarter as they kept you playing much longer.

Shame on all the providers of today for their low quality work in slot machines.

Strange qualifying session now in Brazil.Leclerc said it best,I have never experienced something like this race in my entire career he said,it looked like it was raining but in fact there was no rain at all referring to the track being extremely slid and Verstappen was once again able to grab a Pole Position although he did not made the fastest lap in this last Q3 session.

In Q2 Lando Norris did 1.10.0 while Verstappen won the Pole with a 1.10.727 and he said it himself that it would be very tight and the cars are very close in this track.I think the surprise are Aston Martin with Lance Stroll in P3 and Alonso in P4 after many races screwing up looks like they have fixed a couple of things.
1720  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: November 03, 2023, 06:57:55 PM
Things are still well for Atletico Madrid in Group E now maybe. But I think their start is still not convincing enough. Because Atletico Madrid started this season quite impressively. They are doing great in the La Liga. I would like to see the same performance in the Champions League also. They normally have a group which they can finish as leader.

But first the draw against Lazio by a last minute goal and later a draw against Celtic away prevented them from making a stronger start. They could have won against Celtic too actually but that red card pushed them to keep the score instead.

However next time I believe Atletico Madrid will be victorious against Celtic home. This would be important three points for Atletico Madrid before playing the remaining toughest games in the group.

Atletico Madrid will win next game at home and they will be qualifying for the next round most likely without much problems.The group is not that strong with Lazio and Feyenoord,they have all the chances to get out of this group and with the group of players they have in their team this should be easy.

In La Liga they are also doing well which is another indicator that they should do also well in Champions League as rarely I have seen a team doing great in Champions while suffering a lot in their domestic league,this is a reassuring factor for Atletico Madrid that they will qualify further.
