Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool extended their winning streak. Although their performance was unstable, Liverpool officially surpassed Arsenal to take the leading position. Tottenham lost to Brighton and lost their work in the top 4 to Man City. I am sure Liverpool will continue to defeat Newcastle to continue to hold the top spot, knowing that Newcastle is not an easy opponent. The race is getting more and more fierce when Man City returns to the top 4; of course, they will do everything to regain the top spot. Arsenal also did not show weakness when following Liverpool. This season's rankings continuously change hands. This is the wonderful feeling Premier League football brings.

Yeah this is what we've been waiting for Liverpool really deserves to take their place at the top of the standings Liverpool may not be stable but they consistently don't lose points and have only lost once so far while other competitors have lost 3-4 times, Liverpool only needs to maintain this record until the end of the season to win the title. Arsenal will probably continue to be close to them but after seeing Arsenal's last 5 matches it changed my opinion somehow Arsenal got bad results in the last 5 matches with 2 defeats and 1 draw.
Arsenal cannot win the Premier League until they improve efficiency in both attack and defense. I'm curious if their players are being overused and exhausted due to the busy period of the season or if they are lacking a key striker. Just like liverpool has salalah or man city has haaland. I think Arsenal's offense needs more confidence in front of goal and composure and rationality in decisive situations. Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and Gabriel Jesus can make Arsenal pay the price in the race for the Premier League title. Arsenal should strengthen their striker when the transfer window opens, with the name Victor Osimhen (Napoli) very suitable to fill that gap.

That was a humiliating loss for arsenal on their home ground against West Ham. Though most of the game was in control of Arsenal, the defense was where they lagged. Both of the goals from West Ham were good and concede due to poor defense from Arsenal near their post, the defense of West Ham were great and they deserved the win.
The lose of Arsenal means it's a chance for Manchester City to hold into the 2nd position. I believe they'd be able to hold the 2nd position for now as their upcoming matches are generally with much weaker teams.

I always hear stories of friends who always lose playing online gambling. I don't know what his purpose to tell his story to me. even it's clear, his story makes him look stupid.

Besides that, in another place, Many young people around to me still play slot gambling even don't have a job and always lose. I wonder where they get the money for deposits? and why they repeat that?. I don't know what the reason reason that doesn't bother them, they should have given up, and changed the game that makes them profitable. if I always lose in the game, I will change the type of game, example If I always lose on a slot, I will change the type of game like sports betting until my capital is back and try the luck again to the slot.


Most people do gambling for fun. They realize they have a higher chance of losing the money. But they do it anyway for the fun and thrill involved. It's like doing a paragliding, you don't expect to get a refund when you land on paragliding. They are not stupid but well informed.
I don't think any luck based games would be profitable for anyone on the long run. And no one should bet with expectation of getting a profit. If anyone thinks he'd be rich betting on dice, the person is misinformed. I didn't used the word stupid cause at some time, I was one of them.

Gambling whether you play it online or offline is a mental game there are a lot of mixed emotions going on while you play
Excited when you're winning, anxious when you're chasing your losses, ecstatic when you won a big amount but have anxiety about cashing out.

It's a roller coaster ride when we are playing in casinos whether online or offline that is why we always come back to gamble because we feel alive and we have mixed emotions.

But after finishing the game what's your overall feeling how did you overcome this feeling and how many hours or days did it last?

Be honest with yourself and vote on the poll on What's Your Feeling After You Finish Gambling?

I don't want to remember my gambling past. Currently the type of gambling I'm doing is make some profit and stop. What I basically do is keep a moderate amount in my gambling site. Start low and do martingale. Whenever I get to my desired amount which is mostly about double my initial bankroll. I leave.
Even if I settle for small wins, I often do lose all my bankroll. With much gambling over years, I've lost most of my emotion and the time I deposit, I'm mentally prepared to lose it all. So, even though there are mixed feelings, it don't last long for me.
244  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can I dodge KYC using the his medium. on: December 29, 2023, 10:36:20 AM
Is it possible one can dodge KYC verification request after winning a big amount of money and decides not to withdraw a lump sum but bit by bit in smaller amounts. I have read many posts talking about how they wanted to withdraw the money they won but due to the amount they wanted to withdraw was big, they were asked  pass kyc verification because they never did when they first registered.

This could be a reality if the said casino manually reviews withdrawal amount more than x and anything below that is automatic. You could just withdraw x-1 multiple times if it's processed automatically in order to avoid KYC hassle. I have done that not  exactly on a gambling site but from a website than needed manual verification on withdrawal of larger amount.
There could still be a cumulative amount threshold for monthly withdrawals or total withdrawal. But the worst that could come is a KYC request so it's a good idea to give it a try.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: December 29, 2023, 07:32:50 AM
Bangladesh started well, they already have taken 2 wickets and allowed New Zealand to get 61 runs. 8 overs have already been bowled, another couple of wickets and New Zealand would be in trouble. Daryl Mitchell is still on the pitch and he can increase the run rate. Projected score for now is 156 runs which is defendable for the New Zealand bowlers.
Match now delayed due to rain. New Zealand made 72 runs and still they lost only 2 wickets. If this match will continue so I think New Zealand will go above 150 runs. If New Zealand will make 150+ runs so I hope that New Zealand will win this match. Tim Seifert was playing well but Tanzim Hasan Sakib collected his wicket.
But Bangladesh will also try well to win this match and if they will win this match so they will win the series too. And New Zealand will try to equal the series 1-1.
Let's hope rain will stop soon and match will continue.


72 in 11 overs is not a huge run rate for a T20 match and as the rain delays it, if the game starts after delay, there is a chance the number of overs be decreased and if it is again delayed after New Zealand's innings, the run would be calculated by DL. In both cases, the 2nd batting team would have an advantage. More so if DL is implemented. Bangladesh have already won a T20 chasing and if current match is not washed out, the probability of Bangladesh taking another win is higher.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: December 29, 2023, 03:28:40 AM
There is some good news for Donald Trump. The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that Trump can't be removed from the presidential ballots within the state for 2024 POTUS elections. Earlier, the Colorado Court had ruled to remove him. As the election date approaches, we can expect more and more desperate measures from the Democrats, as Joe Biden is trailing Donald Trump by a large margin in most of the opinion polls. They are hoping that Biden will make the cut, in case Ron DeSantis become the GOP nominee instead of Trump.

Now it's maine judge that decided to block Trump. Not sure if they are working for or against Trump. US is back to spoil system and the judiciary are more political.
It's so funny to see the democracy of US fall. It were them that rigged elections and staged coup to gain power and influence around the world and now they are left with choices of a corrupt man and a mentally unstable bully. Any option they choose would further escalate the division. With the media and corporation losing their mind and taking desperate action against Trump in fear their panel may lose, we might have a civil war in US next year. I'm not betting on any now.

In the 2nd Test match of Australia vs Pakistan, Pakistan team scored 264 runs in 73.5 overs losing 10 wickets in 1st Innings. Australia team scored 318 runs in 96.5 overs losing 10 wickets. Australia team is leading by 241 runs.  Lyon took 4 wickets with 73 runs in 18.5 overs. Cummins took 5 wickets with 48 runs in 20 overs.
Australian International test cricket team is dominant on Pakistani team and Australian team will this match easily . Two days are remaining of 2nd test match between Australian International team and Pakistani International test cricket team. Australian should make a score of 350 runs and then they give batting to Pakistani International cricket team. Pakistani would not chase this type of big. They will all out by making only 150 runs and Australian International test cricket team has capacity to all team out on 150 runs .
.
In second inning of test match Australia all out scored 262 runs against Pakistan. Pakistan bowling performance is amazing especially  Mir Hamza picked 4 important wicktes by giving just 32 runs, Shaheen Shah Afridi also picked 4 crusial wickets by giving 72 runs and Amir jamal also picked 2 wickets and restricted Australia total. Now Pakistan batting and they lost 2 wickets of Imam ul haq and Abdullah Shafiq in just 52 runs. Pakistan Needs 262 runs to win this test match against Australia and level the series by 1-1.



Today is fourth day so Pakistani batsmen just needs to hold the wickets while taking occasional easy singles and boundaries. The only way Pakistan could lose from here are quick fall of wickets like they fell in the first test. Babar Azam and Shan Masood looks comfortable on crease and this is the Partnership Australia wants to break. If Pakistan won this, the series would be decided by the final test. Pakistan is a good battting and bowling team but they lacks consistency  more so than Australia.

So again Cristiano Ronaldo scoring by two penalties and becoming the top goal scorer of the year, from one side amazing to se him still in the high performance, but in the other hand i can see a ton of memes of him and the penalty love with him.

About the yesterday game was a really good one for Al Nassr, it was not a easy one and they do all to make it look easy.

the ittihad match against Al-nassr has made Cristiano ronaldo score more goals because he scored 2 goals in the match and now he has collected 19 goals and I am also amazed because cristiano ronaldo's performance is still very good at his age now, and now aleksandar mitrovic increasingly behind because he is currently only able to collect 16 goals and in Al-hilal's match against Abha Aleksandar Mitrovic was only able to score 1 goal even though Al-hilal's match against Abha was 7-0 for Al-hilal's win, I think now Cristiano Ronaldo has a chance to get bigger golden shoes.

yes, yesterday's match was certainly not an easy thing because ittihad is a strong team and was last season's champion, yes al-nassr's game was very good but of course Al-nassr must consistently win in order to become champions this season even thoughAl-nassr rivals are very tough, namely al-hilal.

Aleksandar Mitrovic certainly has the potential to score again in the upcoming match so Cristiano Ronaldo must maintain his performance to win the golden boot.


Ronaldo's presence itself in the Saudi league is an inspiration for every Saudi  youngsters. He's a legendary player and it's a display of respect to give him his penalties to score. He happen to be one of the greatest player of football and has a few records in his name that are hard to be broken. He's also a role model for fitness at his age. Though he might be forgotten when he is not contemporary but he has motivated a huge number of youngster to football and fitness.

Easy win for City in an away game.
They are now close to the top once again.

Btw I can't see how they can lose the title.

An easy win for Manchester City but that doesn't mean these guys are still the team that used to dominate in every game, these days when Man City are playing is like they're trying to be very careful and you see that touch of brilliance they're losing it in every game and I don't think they can be more deadly when KDB fully recovers.
Pep Guardiola to come out to say other clubs are wishing them (Manchester City) to lose in every game, to me that's not mind games anymore but he has gotten the message that no team in the EPL is that scared to go head to head without trying to get a point, on like last season, so I don't see the Citizens winning the league this season.

It is easier to be successful because they were matched with Everton, a club that placed at the lower table. I admit that this squad is not the same who dominated the league before. They slipped on a strike from Jack Harrison. But they are competent enough to the clubs on top. Firepower will undoubtedly increase with KDB and Haaland returning in January. Because of this, the gambling market remains stacked in favor of Man City over Liverpool and Arsenal. Their return is inevitable and Man City will close the season defending their championship.

Manchester CIty has played it's 18th game and Arsenal is playing their 20th tomorrow. Considering that, Manchester city are already in number 2 spot just behind Liverpool due to Goal difference against Arsenal. The top 5 position is highly competitive till date, still hard to determine which among Liverpool, Arsenal, Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham would miss the champions league. The team which would be able to be consistent would take the trophy and Man City are playing an impressive game though failing to score at times.

I'm always fascinated by PVP games in online casinos and wonder why there are such few options.
I had previously played rock paper scissors on at least two gambling sites with a real person but both of them seems to be not working at the moment. Though being fairly simple the game can go to any lengths and is an example of game theory.
There was also a lightning bitcoin site that provided simple coin toss game between two players but can't find it now. Another simple game was Tic Tac Toe, but it has a limited moves. The easiest way of playing P2P game is poker, there are dozens of dedicated sites for it and there are a good number of players on the table.

US citizens again have a choice to make between two evils.
Trump who acts like a bully from Cartoon TV series. And Biden who is the face of corrupt US corporations.
Trump would not have been a viable competitor if the Biden party had played it safe and to slightest degree acted for the sake of people.
But in contrast they were more focused on preventing Trump from running by misusing the state power which backfired and made people realize that its not the people who owns the state. They literally gave away the election to Trump.
Trump's election would further increase social polarization and weaken US democracy which is still better than continuing current bidens administration.

Now what will happen if these three players retire from international cricket and concentrate solely on franchise cricket? Afghan cricket board has gone crazy. In tier-2 test nations, it is not that rate to have players skip a handfull of international matches to focus on T20 matches. The board has over-reacted this time, and this is going to be mutually detrimental for both the sides. Are they going to do the same against Rashid Khan as well? They don't have the courage to do something like this to him, so picked up the weak players.
After the impressive performance in World Cup I was feeling now things are going positive for them, and they are going to have good future in white-ball game but their policies and handling of their players like this now creating other level with most chances we can have another West Indies type model cricket here where mostly players will go against their own board and try their all luck and energy for the Franchise cricket which is surely going to have better future for them in all ways.

Even these all are too early but now with this first drop from Afghanistan Cricket Board now my mind-set is completely changed about their future in this game, and we have to wait for the more reaction how others will go with this punishment for their fellow players and what will be consequences happen for both parties.

Afghan cricket is still in its early stage and don't have the grassroot structure like that of west indies. This generation was the first set of naturally talented players.
With all the politics, controversies and economic problems, they'd be unable to produce younger talents and the cricket would lag behind when this set of team retires.
This has occurred to many teams like west indies and Sri Lanka which unlike Afghanistan, still have financial incentive to keep on operating local level framework.

If a new casino launches an announcement here in Bitcointalk what are the requirements or criteria that will make you trust them?
Within six months after they launched their announcement here 

Launching a review and signature campaign?

No complaints or scam accusations?

Very responsive representative here?

Good reviews from casino review sites?

Please vote and tell us why this is your choice all reasons are valid points but if you're going to pick one that will be the best answer what will it be?

Review and signature campaign are a good thing and is part of the overall advertisement. They should be able to attract new users to try and experience the platform.
There can be complains but how they handle is more important. Specially the newer ones need to be very cautious about your image in early days. Even a few stupid users with their stupid complains may play against you.
Responsive representative is a part of overall customer service and that includes response to complaints.
Review from casino review site doesn't hold any importance as we know it's buyable. Better to focus on trustpilot reviews.
254  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod] on: December 26, 2023, 03:10:13 AM
Afghanistan 2023 ODI World Cup has been the biggest surprise as they have defeated two tough opponents like England and Pakistan. Moreover, Afghanistan's top order batsmen performed well as usual and lower order batsmen especially Rashid khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman could bowl well as well as bat fairly well. That's why Afghanistan's score is much higher than other teams. Moreover, most of the players of Afghanistan participate in Big Bash, IPL, PSL, Carribbean League, County League at various times. That's why they have some kind of experience working inside their batting and bowling which makes Afghanistan perform like an experienced team.
Yes you are right. They played well in the ICC World Cup. They was just near to the Semifinal Qualification. But Australia defeated them. Especially I remember the Maxwell batting.
By the way I was expecting that the Afghanistan will perform well. But they didn't make a higher target. I was expecting that they will make 250+ runs but they didn't do that. But their bowling was quite well. They restricted the United Arab Emirates team below 110 runs. They have one more tour match and I hope Afghanistan will win that match too. After that they will play T20 series. They will play 3 matches. And I hope Afghanistan will the series. So let's see.  Smiley

Afghanistan currently is the best team among the associate nations and are presenting well in world stage. Provided we have a few more challenging teams, the very rule for the elite teams in cricket would be challenged. The problem with afghanistan is there's future is troublesome. With the national level ban on women cricket in Afghanistan, there has been rising pressure to ban the mens team as well. And even if they are not outright banned, they'll get less exposure and considering the economic situation, creating new talents would not get a priority.

The problem is it's difficult to decide if a person is mentally unstable or not and even if he/she has a medical record, it's difficult and not a good idea to tag and prevent them on something simple as opening a bank account or using internet, which are enough to start gambling.
The people that are financially responsible for such people can limit their use by budgeting and asking for bills but if the person is financially independent and has no legal obligation, we can't just restrict them for using their money anyway they want.

259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Features of the worldview of a gambler on: December 24, 2023, 11:53:32 PM
I watched videos about gambling addicts, in which the channel’s hosts interviewed them. I was amazed at how many of them were pathological optimists. More precisely, it’s hard for me to use the word optimism in conjunction with the word pathological, but still. Any loss for them is just a short-term nuisance. Optimism takes over and they play again and again, not paying attention to loans and debts.
       At the same time, many openly admit that they are gambling addicts. But they talk about it as a minor detail of their lives. They admit that they are gambling addicts, but this does not make them stop. They, as usual, strive to continue the game.
       I have repeatedly encountered the fact that the very concept of risk management is either unfamiliar to them or they do not attach enough serious importance to it.
I would highlight the following features:
1. Pathological optimism.
2. Lack of risk management.
3. The desire to understand some fundamental issues of the game (they talked about this themselves in interviews)
4. Love for the game process itself.
 What do you think are the features of the worldview of a gambler?

Nicely explained. The problem with gambling addict is they think they have a chance of winning but they don't. There can be one or several large winnings but on the long run, the maths of odds would be largely visible and no one wins more than they lose. Every game has a house edge be it sports betting or lottery. You may thing it's your analysis that made you pick the right option but put those wins and losses in long term and they'll come similar to the house edge you get in other games.
The problem with gambling addict is either they don't consider probability and if they do, they believe they can beat it.

Given their unpredictable current form, you can't even be too sure they can go past Osasuna  Grin

I don't see any way out for Barcelona at the moment. Maybe by some miracle all the injured key players heal and start playing in by January, which we know is just a fantasy. While Real Madrid are also faced with their own injury crisis, at least they can afford to go to the market and grab a couple of mercenaries, something that Barcelona can not afford right now.
Barcelona is currently scrumble, both in terms of unpredictable form and a notable injury crisis. But I think they will be solving this situation soon enough, because while Barcelona may be going through a tough period, the dynamics of the sport mean that they have the potential to bounce back, especially if key players recover from injuries. Regarding the injury crisis, while it's true that Barcelona may not have the financial flexibility to make immediate signings, the January transfer window could provide an opportunity to address some of the team's needs.

Barcelona has a history of nurturing young talent through their renowned youth academy, La Masia. The club may turn to promising youth players to fill gaps or provide additional depth during this challenging period. This approach aligns with the club's traditions and values. Integrating new players into a team requires time, and chemistry is a crucial factor in football success. Real Madrid, too, could face challenges in seamlessly incorporating new additions into their squad.

It's not just the injury and form. Politics and management has been a greater issue for the team and the mismanagement of funds has turned Barcelona, one of the richest club of Europe to one that has to think before bringing in a player.
The political issue of Catalonia, the fiasco of Messi and his contract before joining PSG. Not being able to pay players on time. Briebing refree and getting a fine for it. All of these have accumulated in the fall of Barcelona.
