I think in this track the only thing Redbull can do is to wait and it won't going to be the same as in the Singapore,the reason is simple,the track here is extremely narrow compared to the wideness of Singapore where overtaking is possible and that is a long track where a lap is well over 1 minute and 30 seconds,in here tomorrow the fastest lap should be below 1 minute and 10 seconds.
It still doesn't change the fact that they are not performing that well with street tracks, we will see in the race much later on about what would happen. I think it would be a fun race to watch.

Tomorrow the only interesting part of the race is exactly Max and what he will do,I am sure he would like to attack as in this season the gap is not that much and any lost points would hit him hard,especially with such gap that he has tomorrow,starting from 6th on track.
Well, we all know how capable Max is and IIRC, he started on the 14th position and still won a race so nothing is impossible for him. They are really fast but in this track, we will see what they could improve on.

Red Bull finds themselves in a challenging position on this narrow track in stark contrast to the wide expanses of Singapore where overtaking opportunities abound.The tighter confines here could pose a significant hurdle particularly given Red Bull's historical struggles on street circuits.However the shortened lap times expected to be under 1 minute and 10 seconds could shake up the dynamics of the race.
Max's starting position in 6th adds an element of anticipation.His aggressive driving style and proven ability to carve through the field offer hope for a thrilling race despite the initial setback.Remembering his incredible victory from the 14th position in the past it's evident that Max is capable of defying expectations.
Nevertheless the team will need to address their shortcomings on street tracks if they hope to maintain their championship aspirations.This race serves as a test highlighting areas for improvement and showcasing Max's skill in navigating challenging circumstances.It's bound to be an intriguing battle offering fans an opportunity to witness firsthand the relentless pursuit of excellence in Formula 1.

You should have made your friend aware of the harmful effects of gambling before he became addicted. You know that when a gambler becomes addicted to gambling with loan money, that gambler has a hundred percent possibility of bankruptcy. Moreover, the presence of excessive greed is observed in your friend, due to which he sees excessive risk, why should he gamble with loan money. You advise him to stop gambling which is very accurate and you can suggest to your friend to pay off the loan first and then bring back the family affluence and never take a gambling loan and bet. You can advise your friend to avoid excessive greed and always remind your friend that no one can get rich from gambling but always gambling destroys family peace and relationship.
In my opinion, someone who is addicted to gambling of course they have gambled frequently and they cannot control themselves when gambling and usually someone who has a gambling addiction is because they cannot limit their gambling activities and also the funds they use for gambling so they just thinking about how they can get funds that they can use to gamble in various ways including taking out loans and most importantly for them being able to get money to gamble.
Advising someone who has a gambling addiction is easy, but it is not certain that after they listen to what we say they will be able to do well what we have suggested to them and of course they must have the will from themselves first before other people can help them to get rid of the addiction.

Absolutely addressing gambling addiction can be incredibly challenging.It often involves frequent uncontrollable gambling and difficulty in limiting or controlling spending on gambling activities.For many the addiction leads to desperate measures to obtain funds for gambling,including taking out loans.

Offering advice to someone struggling with gambling addiction is important but it's also crucial to acknowledge that simply giving advice may not be enough.Ultimately the individual must have the personal will and determination to overcome the addiction.Support from others can be invaluable but true progress often starts with the individual's own commitment to change.
23  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lunatic gamblers who says Airdrop rewards are free funds. on: May 26, 2024, 11:10:10 AM
There is absolutely no Source of income that is free but some of my Bitcoin investors friends who are as much gamblers would not want to agree to that.
Currently, there had been several airdrops projects ongoing which participants are earning crypto coins without investing of money but executing some tasks.

So some of my friends says such funds are free money so they are delighted dedicating it to be spent on gambling and when they lost it all, it would be easier to let go because they did not stress to get the money.
Meanwhile... This usually comes a huge amount of money beyond their normal gambling budgets.

To me, they can utilize these so called free money by adding it up to their Bitcoin portfolio or even used it to spend on necessary things instead of dedicating to lavish it on gambling.

Your perspective on the nature of income aligns with a common understanding which is,there's typically no income without some form of investment,whether it's time,effort,or resources.It's intriguing how some individuals like your Bitcoin investor friends,perceive certain earnings such as those from airdrops,as "free money" due to the absence of direct financial investment.

While it's understandable that they may feel less attached to funds acquired without monetary input it's crucial to recognize that their decision to allocate these earnings to gambling carries significant risks especially if it exceeds their usual gambling budgets. Encouraging them to consider alternative uses for these funds,such as bolstering their Bitcoin portfolios or addressing essential needs,reflects a prudent approach that prioritizes long-term financial stability over short-term gratification.

They,your friends can cultivate financial discipline if they rethink about such thing as "free money" which does not exist,let's make the oldest example here,free as in free speech and not as in free beer.
24  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does addicted gamblers only lose money all the time on: May 26, 2024, 10:36:17 AM
Not necessarily all the time,but addiction to gambling often leads to frequent and substantial financial losses.The compulsive urge to gamble can drive individuals to wager money they can't afford to lose,resulting in a cycle of wins and losses that ultimately tilt heavily towards the latter.While occasional wins may offer temporary relief or reinforcement of the behavior,in the long run,addicted gamblers typically experience net losses due to their inability to control their impulses and make rational decisions about their gambling habits.These losses can have devastating financial consequences,exacerbating the addictive cycle and potentially leading to significant debt and other adverse outcomes.
25  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is Gambling A Hobby? on: May 26, 2024, 08:02:54 AM
When I was young, I thought gambling was an opportunity to get rich. But then, as I gained experience in life, it became clearer and clearer that gambling should not be considered as a way of earning money. It is enough for an adult to google to realise that gambling cannot be considered in any other way but as a hobby.

Navigating the world of gambling reveals a nuanced reality as while many may initially approach it as a harmless pastime,a significant portion find themselves ensnared in a cycle of daily play and subsequent losses.This unfortunate trend often manifests in incessant spamming of casino chats,tarnishing the reputation of otherwise esteemed establishments.It's easy to pinpoint slot providers as central figures in this narrative.Their offerings,while entertaining,can inadvertently foster addictive behavior.It's understandable in the landscape of gambling,particularly slot machines,has undergone a transformation shift in recent years.Just a short while ago,substantial wins were commonplace,even in bustling casinos boasting tens of thousands of online patrons.However,the current landscape tells a different story.Despite a staggering increase in online participants,the occurrence of significant wins has dwindled noticeably.This shift undoubtedly contributes to the disillusionment felt by many,amplifying frustrations and perpetuating the cycle of excessive gambling.

Therefore I think a hobby yes but a insanely dangerous one and such hobbies are not for everyone.

Very tight poleposition today for Leclerc.
~

I was lucky with the pole position with LecLerc but the other positions I have set differently, because Monaco is very difficult to overtake I am curious with my tips at Superbru.

I won't be watching the race itself, Monaco is just too boring.

Adjusting our selections post-qualifying was an unexpected but necessary move,especially considering the surprising grid positions of Sergio Perez starting from 18th and Fernando Alonso from 17th in Monaco.Such unforeseen developments compelled us to rethink our choices.Remarkably,I opted to align our picks precisely with the qualifying results.Given the potential monotony of this particular race,seizing every available advantage becomes paramount,and adhering to the current grid standings emerged as the most prudent strategy in our arsenal.

I think that very few people will get the podium correct even so I think just because of our pool competition we can watch the race much differently than people watching it for no reason.



27  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: May 25, 2024, 07:48:41 PM
Yes.

Monaco in exiting only on Saturdays when drivers goes at 100% on speed.
On Sundays usually when nothing happens leader can go at 80% of speed since nobody can pass and save the tires as much he can, degradaging tires of opponents and get a big advantage in this way.

I hate this track.

That has been the case surely in the previous races yet if I remember correctly there have been successful overtakes when they get out of the tunnel or in the first hairpin turns before entering the tunnel,this is a short track and as such not much action is expected yet I think the driver behind if faster can go for a move.Tire degradation won't be felt that much in such track,as far as I remember if someone enters the pit in early laps and put the mediums,not even the hard tires can have a chance to go to the end of the race here,so a Safety Car can completely turn things around here depending on how each team will read it.I am expecting a beautiful race tomorrow judging from the starting grid.

Very tight poleposition today for Leclerc.
He managed to get the pole position that everyone wanted him to have. It's really impressive with his drive and I think it's because of the home advantage. Let's see how it plays out on the race. 

Should be almost impossible for Max to win Tomorrow in this track
It's going to be like the Singapore GP. I think that's where RB is weak, in these types of tracks.

I think in this track the only thing Redbull can do is to wait and it won't going to be the same as in the Singapore,the reason is simple,the track here is extremely narrow compared to the wideness of Singapore where overtaking is possible and that is a long track where a lap is well over 1 minute and 30 seconds,in here tomorrow the fastest lap should be below 1 minute and 10 seconds.

In the pool I changed the picks and put to end the race in exactly like they start except 9th and 10th position.

Well well well , Monaco curse is over for Leclerc ? I think it might and if today he will win the race and I think he will , we can say with confidence that Ferrari already has a great car for streets circuit so I do expect great races from them in Baku , Singapore and Miami.

I also didn't expect Verstappen to finish only 6th but he hit the wall and that ruined his entire lap but I was impressed once again with Piastri who proves race after race that he is indeed a future champion in F1.

Miami is already over mate and it was Norris first win,we will always remember that race because of this fact.The circuit of today and seeing the face of Christian Horner today says a lot to me.It says that the problems have already emerged for Redbull team right now and I don't see them capable of catching up with the speed the other teams are improving because of the mess up created there because of that scandal that has made many people resign or quit from the team.Max is a very skillful driver and he is keeping up for Redbull as Perez it showed once again what kind of mediocre driver is,starting from 18th tomorrow.

Lucas paqueta just got charged by the FA for allegedly bridging betting rules. According to report, it's believed that he intentionally took yellow cards in some key matches just so some gamblers can profit from there betting.

I know wrestling and boxing are the popular sports where fixed matches is dominant but has this gotten to football we're players can intentionally foul an opponents just to be penalized with a yellow card? If this is true,  what's now the faith of proper sports? If players can't take out there personal interest out of sports and just do thier part which gives gamblers a neutral ground to thread on, then we've got a lot of problems in the sector.

What's your view on this, is it possible that such alligatoin might be true?


That is in high level as this guy has been playing in the Premier League which many of us sport fans consider as the pinnacle of European football,if these things happen in such high level performing leagues just imagine what happens in the lower leagues or countries where football is not that popular like Malta,Andorra,San Marino and I intentionally took as an example these countries where football is not that developed just to show that the games there often prove quite some surprise results and many thinks this is because of people collaborating together to win bets.The one that lose from such bets is the casino yet overall the casino wins as most people bets on the favorite.These type of stories are going on from a lot of years,it is just that now more and more people are starting to notice.

The number of dead will be increasing from both countries involved in the war and that is only natural.The problem is if the west does not give a huge help to Ukraine now,most likely Russia no matter how lost lives can advance as it appears that Putin does not care for the huge number that is going straight to the meat grinder in this war while Ukraine fights in a more pragmatic and smart way as this is their only choice.

What I don't understand from the west is how come they don't let Ukraine strike back deep inside Moscow or at least they have only said to let Ukraine do so lately,this is paramount for Ukraine to have a chance to stop the war,they need to instill terror in Moscow so the Russian people know how it feels and they will come up in protests.

Is gambling bad to the society? I dont know maybe some people are considering gambling bad to society but there are also people consider gambling has benefit tho we dont talk about religion here some country make gambling legal and have tax on it and the money from gambling tax can be use for other good purpose and can also be use to help the society and this is just my opinion

At what cost does this come though?This can have a very bad impact on the people who gamble because although gambling is not completely bad it can have consequences,some of them I am listing here which are,addiction,financial problems,crime and family issues like a lot of divorces.Where I live the majority of divorces come exactly because of male gambling and women leaving them asking for a divorce as they cannot have an healthy family or relation to keep raising a beautiful and stable family.So the tax is beneficial to the government who implements it yet at what cost,at a higher cost because unwillingly is leading to having a lot of divorces as the example above or increased criminality and a lot of other reasons that span from gambling when not addressed correctly.

Leclerc got pole position and Max Verstappen hit the wall starting in sixth place tomorrow.What more could have we wanted from such official qualifying session,we are finally going to see a really good race as we know how difficult if not impossible is to overtake in this race.

I think this makes it interesting as I am sure Verstappen will not be happy sitting behind other cars,he will try his best to overtake in here and we have seen rare overtaking moves in the first part of the track if he manages to get along the other cars in those slow corners after the fast first sector,the tunnel a very dangerous place yet we have also seen other people overtaking there too,tomorrow Max should show us all of his skills in a car which is still the best despite today not being in a great fit.

I think I have to change my picks as both Alonso and Perez out of Q1 in qualifying what a joke a driver Perez really is while for Alonso it is the car fault.I don't care that I will lose those 2 Early Brew points as I think I can win much more by changing my picks for tomorrow race.The only way I am not changing them is if Verstappen gets pole and I have 3 points starting the race with a Verstappen winning it making it to 5,so not removing that in this only case,yet I see it as extremely difficult for him to get the pole as the competition in this track is huge by many teams.It is going to be a great race and maybe to be decided from the teams in the pits.

Only one week to go until the final. We can’t be hanging around on page 7.

Let’s get this bumped onto page 1.

I think there is no real interest to this page anymore because most likely the prizes are already there and basically know who will be the winners and if we risk something or not so that is why this page was turned down on page 7.Good thing to bring it up as people can start discussing again for the only game that remains which is the final.In such game everybody expects Real Madrid to win yet I say that even the worse team,the weakest team can try once to make a game work for them as there is a single game after all and it can go either way,I think Dortmund can make a huge surprise in this final although for many people is highly unlikely.I would not rule out them as Champions as they made Paris look like an amateur team in the last two semi finals game they had against each other,Real surely should be very careful here.

They will have to swallow the hardest pill because soon they will come to realize that no man is an island, and they need someone's help.

With that, they will humble themselves to the friends that haven't tolerated them but instead given an advice on how they should deal with their addiction.

And saying that taking a loan for gambling is never been a good thing and it only going to cause more problems to their personal lives.

Yes, for gamblers who are greedy and addicted, their lives will definitely suffer because of the consequences of their wrong thinking patterns and behavior, and they immediately regret it and realize it when it is too late, namely that their lives often have problems continuously and they are unable to solve these problems quickly. Only then did he try to ask other people for help to ease the burden of problems in his life.
But will the other person want to help him because previously he was just ignored? obviously this is not possible.
It is clear that borrowing other people's loans is not recommended for gamblers and this should be avoided as much as possible by gamblers.
Greedy gamblers will not thinks about the other thinks because they only focus with their gambling activity and will prepare more money to keeps playing gambling. Even if they borrow money from other people, that will be okay for them and they can makes thousand reasons to those who wants to lend them money. If one person don't wants to helps them, they will search the other people until they can gets person that will lend some money. It will not recommended to borrow other people money because if we don't how to pay the money back, that will just gives a problem. Other people will chase us and asks for that money and more problems will to us if we can't repay the money. That's why we must not borrow money just to playing gambling because the risks is big.
I have crafted a pragmatic method for handling situations where colleagues request financial assistance.Utilizing a modest sum such as $100 I use as a benchmark for their dependability is shrewd.It affords me the chance to evaluate their integrity and reliability while also setting clear parameters for future interactions.By ensuring they fulfill their repayment obligations,I establish mutual understanding and accountability.This approach effectively shields against the possibility of burdensome relationships,fostering exchanges built on mutual respect and responsibility.

I had a colleague that asked $100 and I gave him the money.When he asked for more money I said to him,I can give you but first give me my money back together with the interest of each passing day that you have not paid me yet.

Manchester United isn't in top form currently,making today's final against Manchester City seem like an uphill battle for them.City, on the other hand,appears to have a clear advantage, given their recent performances.Despite United's historical resilience in such matchups,it's doubtful whether they possess the strength to mount a significant challenge against City for the trophy.While anything can happen in a single game,it's unlikely that United will overturn the odds in their favor.My prediction leans towards City securing victory in this final cup game.

McLaren can be seen as the prime contender for pole position in the upcoming Formula 1 race,with a notable edge over Red Bull Racing,according to recent insights.Statements from Red Bull's Perez indicate an acknowledgment of being behind,suggesting a challenging outlook for the team.This sentiment positions McLaren as the frontrunner,with Ferrari also looming as a potential competitor and also Mercedes.

In contemplating the prospects,the likelihood of a McLaren driver securing pole position,such as Norris or Piastri,signifies a strong chance of victory in the race.The strategic advantage of starting at the front,providing a clear track ahead,could play a pivotal role in securing success.

Thanks in advance


Absolutely you can do this if only,you know a crucial aspect of starting an online casino business,while clone scripts offer a tempting shortcut,the journey from purchase to successful implementation is fraught with challenges that necessitate a skilled and dedicated team of IT,database,and cybersecurity specialists.

The allure of clone scripts lies in their pre-built framework,promising a faster route to launching an online casino under your brand.However,the devil is in the details,and without proper customization and rigorous testing,you risk encountering a myriad of issues ranging from functionality errors to security vulnerabilities and to losing money in the end,so unless you have such resources don't even bother.

In the glittering realm of casinos,amidst the allure of flashing lights and the adrenaline rush of high-stakes games,there's an undeniable truth that often eludes many hopeful players which is the house always wins.This unwavering principle,rooted in the mathematics of probability,ensures that even the most skilled or fortunate of players will ultimately succumb to the relentless advantage held by the house over the long run.
Simply put,it's the statistical advantage that the casino holds over the players in any given game.While it may vary depending on the game and its rules,make no mistake as there is no game where the odds favor the player over the house in the long run.
In the popular game of Texas Hold'em poker for example,where players pit their wits and strategies against each other in pursuit of the elusive pot of winnings.Despite the illusion of player to player competition,the house still manages to secure its share of profit through implemented fees.Whether it's the rake in cash games or the tournament fees in competitive play,these seemingly innocuous charges tilt the scales in favor of the house,ensuring that a portion of every pot flows back into its coffers.
Everybody or almost everybody knows these basic concepts yet they want to try because the max win in a good slot machine makes these walls put in place by the casino to be always in profit look like walls of sand.
