Another bad weekend so far for Bagnaia, so it will be difficult to defend the title, this year Martin is now the absolute favourite for the world champion title, a very big surprise this year is nevertheless Acosta and I assume he will ride in the KTM factory team next year.

I think we are early to judge who will be the strong favorite,even Marquez is showing that he is there,he just needs just a very little bit more time and he maybe winning his first race and once he does so it means that he will be fighting for the title too.I have not seen any race and tomorrow I am going to watch the race just to see how things have changed,there are people saying that he can win his first race tomorrow as today he was leading the sprint when he crashed out of nowhere,it means he does not feel that much comfortable with his new bike but once he gets ahead of it,he will be winning races and even Championships.

Share your experience. Tell us what’s the slot game feature that attracts you to keep playing.
I avoid playing slot based games as those are the type of games where my luck doesn't favors me. I often play sportsbook and place bets there mostly because my luck work best on those games. I also play crash games sometimes and dice games a few time, but mostly I place bets on sportsbook and that's why I can't really share my own personal experience of using a slot game.

Luck is something that does not favors anyone mate,if you see the slot machines are the games who make the most profit for any casino,sure someone may hit it big and today someone won 30k dollars at Stake by hitting the max win at some slot but this does not mean that a huge amount of other persons including myself lost big today,all the weekly bonus,the post monthly that they have given us gone in an instant in that slot I talked about before,Rabbit Garden,more than 5 consecutive bonus buys without passing the first level and as such luck does not give a damn about anyone except in some special cases,we cannot all be special that is all we need to remember in order to not fall victims of such slot addiction.

So the question now is: What could really put a gambler in such a situation, addiction, or greediness?

A gambler can be such a situation when they losses their mind while gambling. For example if you stayed too long at the casino, you might spend all your money because you will feel biased and want to make sure you win something huge and on the process of continuous pushing for a win, you might not know when you have spend all the money you came with thinking that you still have some money left with you. If a gamblee is also addicted to gambling, he can be a victim to such situation.
Their is desperation because when a gambler is at high loses he becomes very desperate and all his thinking faculty get blocked off because all what his mind will be telling him is to actually find a way to recover that funds even when he knows that he doesn't have nothing left to play somethings he can even sell his property at the spot or loan them because he is desperate and also too greedy to let go but on the greed aspect it's not too clear because only your emotions here and there can flip things for ya.

That is our emotions who play tricks with us,the fact that deep in our DNA is based on greed,we always want more that is why many philosophers and prophets have said in unison that "happy is not the one who has a lot of wealth but the person who is content with what he has at his disposal" and if we abide by such learning we would be doing very well in managing our emotions,we could gamble and do it for fun because the greediness factor is out of the way when we are happy with what we have.When we are not happy with what we have then bad things happen,we try to recover our lost money and this leads to even more lost money,all because of us being greedy.
264  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Making the Most of $100 bankroll on: April 27, 2024, 07:49:44 PM
I have a friend who is new to sports betting and he asks -
If his bankroll is $100 and he has been told not to use more than 5% of his bankroll per bet, what strategy should he use on this type of bankroll? His question is should he place $5 each on 20 different bets? Or is there a better approach that can be suggested?

It depends on how confident he is in the bets that he will place.If he intends to play single bets and use that 5% balance then that 5 dollar bet is a good approach although I would suggest making it five 20 dollar bets if he is extremely confident in the bets he will place.I would also suggest that he can try that 5% daily bankroll and use it as a good strategy to try some good parlays,I mean he can try to double or triple his money through these parlays,important is that he does not rush in placing bets,rushing and choosing on pressure is a sure factor to guarantee you a lost bet and trust me I have been years many years long playing sport betting.

This neverloosen team is great,I mean even the most well known sport page in Instagram,namely 433 showed a picture of Xabi Alonso with a big X meaning they lost their first game,I think they were a bit quick to post that as Leverkussen (not saying Neverloosen again  Grin) managed again to equalize in the late 90+7th minute of additional time.I would love for them to keep the momentum of never losing for the three games remaining and that would make history even better for them,it means that if that happens they have won their first title and during such a feat they never lost a single game,how wonderful is that and I doubt any other team has done so in the world when winning their first trophy,I mean without a loss if that happens.
266  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: April 27, 2024, 06:00:52 PM

So far, Real Madrid continues to extend its unbeaten record to 18 matches in all competitions. Then from that, Real Madrid has also confirmed that they are the title winners this season with a gap of 13 and 14 points from Girona and Barcelona. Of course Barcelona can still close the points gap to 11 points if they win against Valencia, but that will in no way be a threat to Real Madrid's title which is in sight.
Even though in this match Madrid seemed ordinary in playing because there were so many reserve players who were used as line-ups due to rotation in preparation for facing Bayern in a few days, the results were still quite good and Madrid could still secure 3 points in the match this week.

With the conditions that occur now, indirectly this is clearly still a benefit, because looking at the table of current standings, Madrid are 13 points ahead of Girona and 14 points from Barcelona, although Barcelona still have one match remaining.
The match leaves approximately 5 weeks and Madrid is still very superior so it is possible for this season it seems that we only have to wait for 2 more matches to ensure that Madrid can lift the trophy if indeed 3 points can continue to get them.

Real Madrid is already Champions here and this gave them the possibility to play reserve players conserving the starting eleven for the game of Tuesday or Wednesday in the Champions League.This can give them a upper edge as they have rested most of their players while I don't think Bayern Munchen will do so although they have the same luxury only in another note,they fight for nothing now.For the title in Spain though it was well deserved for Real Madrid as the most consistent team and Girona was only a good fairy tale for this season but nothing more.They even eliminated Manchester City in Champions League,one of the best teams so this makes them even stronger and this means that in Spain they are kings.

This time let’s discuss about your favorite to play slot games that gives you losses often times but you keep coming back for more because you are expecting to win big someday after feeding the slot too many bets.

I keep playing Feel the beat slot game of hacksaw gaming because I’m always attracted on the sound effects but I never win anything on this game both bonus and manual slot. This is the only slot game that I play that doesn’t pay more than x200. This shit never good to me but I keep coming like a dawg whenever I saw this game on my suggestion list.

Share your experience. Tell us what’s the slot game feature that attracts you to keep playing.

I keep losing in Rabbit Garden or Float my Boat both slots from Pragmatic Play provider with the Rabbit Garden being my all time favorite.I have a different take though,I try to hit the 10000x in Rabbit Garden I have gotten the maximum of x1000 several times and that is the maximum golden coin that can fall on the reels,the game is in 5 different levels,and so x1 -x1000 in the first one,x2 2000 in the second x3 3000 in the third x5 5000 in the fourth and x10 10000 in the last one,I have been able to get the x1000 coin on the first and second round yet never in the third,fourth and fifth level.This is a really bad game as it gives you much more losing bets,even when you buy the bonus in a brutal way in the true meaning of the word.

So I think that the problem is not Ronaldo himself rather the team overall,I see that Al Hilal has already won the league and for me it is not that the attackers of Hilal are better than Ronaldo rather it is the supporting players,the other players playing with Al Hilal,the supporting ones are better and make better use of the midfield,they are of better quality so it is not possible for Ronaldo to win the league himself,surely his presence there at Al Nassr has brought even better performance from his teammates but that is clearly not enough to win the league here,so nothing to be reproving to him,he has done all his has in his power to improve the team quality and I think his mission is accomplished.

Manchester United did it again,they drew against a team near relegation or in sure relegation I don't remember now,this says a lot about their performance during not only such game but during all this season which they have been quite a huge inconsistent team and they are never to be trusted especially in betting.In fact if we had bet always against Manchester United and we only had bet on them and not parlays or during other days when they have not played,we would be in huge profit right now after so many disastrous results they have had so far.I am not surprised as this is the Premier League and the surprise results are common here,I just write about Manchester United as they are the team with a lot of surprise results during the season and they are one of the strong teams in UK.

270  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Bitcoin users should be humanitarian for Palestinians. on: April 27, 2024, 02:18:39 PM
Thing is, Hamas DOES NOT care about the Palestinian people.
LOL
Unless you are a Palestinian living in Gaza, you don't even get to say this Cheesy
Hamas is the Palestinian resistance fighting foreign invaders according to international laws and the UN charter. Palestinians specially in the open air prison called Gaza, support the resistance when they were offered only two options: die slowly or resist.

Additionally the genocide of Palestinians has been going on for decades and the resistance (that is what H.a.m.a.s stands for in Arabic) started after decades of Palestinians being slaughtered by the Zionist occupiers.

That is correct.It is crazy to see how the world does not gives a shit about what is happening to the cleansing of Palestinians,which is worse from anything else for the exact reason because it is being done by the same people who their parents were cleansed by Hitler not that many many years ago and we know how Hitler ended.I don't think the justification of Hamas will be going on forever as they,Israelis are not fighting against Hamas,they are killing innocent children and women,more than 15k children already killed,the funny thing is that when they the occupiers were sent to Palestine in their ship were the pan cart "Don't kill our dreams" yet when the came to Palestine they only brought destruction,not something to be very fond of I would say.The same of which Russia has been doing in Ukraine and the world uses a double,triple or multi multi standard when comparing the two.I don't have faith in the world anymore,nor in governments nor in nothing except God.

Ah and since I am not a US politician,I forget to say the word,genocide,that is what happening there as all US politicians condemn Israel but no one of them uses the genocide word.

Today's Jerez MotoGP Sprint Race was really quite dramatic with a group crash at Turn 5 for several riders in the front row at the same time. And it is not yet known what the cause is, so those on the podium today are really unexpected riders like Quartararo who started the Sprint from grid 23 but was able to finish in the top three. Likewise, Marquez, who started the Sprint on the first grid, had to swallow the bitterness of a crash while leading the race, this was completely unexpected. Because there are many riders who experience crashes on the last lap like what happened to Zarco at the last corner even though he had time to re-enter to finish the race to the finish line.

Good to know we are going to watch a race of MotoGp,I thought this to be a boring weekend without F1 and for me without F1 any weekend is a boring one yet with a MotoGp race I can call this one a less boring weekend.In fact during this season I have not seen a single race of MotoGP and I would love to watch Marquez in that Ducatti and see how he is doing.If he crashed while leading the race,that can be called unexpected yet a crash in a motorbike race is never unexpected for me,even more when you are used to push like crazy like Marquez did when he was at Honda.Let's hope the race of tomorrow will be better than the Sprint and we will see more action.

Lies like that in the first post here in the thread are not hurting ones,they don't do any harm,quite the opposite they give the woman what she wants to hear from her husband and the husband can keep to himself that he loves gambling more than her at certain times.The only harm I see in such declarations is exactly the signs of addiction I see in here,if they truly care about gambling more than anything else then this is a big problem which they need to fix as it will undoubtedly hunt them after some time have passed,the wife will find out and that is how a big number of divorces happen,the biggest number in the country where I live is exactly from gambling.

Benfica has a golden moment to shorten the distance with Sporting although I doubt that would be enough in order for them to have even a remotely slim chance of winning the Liga Portugal this season.Of course I am assuming a lost game of Sporting against Porto which is very difficult to happen for the simple reason that Porto is not the Porto of recent years where they have always been fighting for the title themselves so I don't see that Sporting is going to lose this game.I think in the end if Sporting wins the title it will be the most righteous outcome as they have been playing better than any other team during this season so I don't complain as they fully deserve it.

Well. I was always expecting to concede first, it has been our song all season. But cannot remember the last time outside Europe we have been dominated in attack and midfield.

Not even able to watch but the pain seeps through the text updates I am getting. Mournful swansong for Klopp... and a torrid peek behind the curtains for Slot.

Igebotz at least our rebuild should not come with your price tag burden #laughsob

Liverpool just equalized and it looks like they have come with a much different mentality in the field in the second half,of course nothing changes,they have lost miserably the title fight with those three painful consecutive lost games including that one that knocked them out of Europe which impacted them this bad as to completely lose it in these games.I think maybe Klopp has said to them in the break that we have not got anything to lose anymore so play like you want and have fun,I see this is as the only impetus to give the players the right psychological motivation to come back and win this game,as I said it will be only for statistical purposes not for much unfortunately.

The pool has also crystallized the big winners while for the last prizes also I don't expect any surprise,we that don't fight for anything only play for a yellow cap.

If we agreed that we are making all the games,the last 5 games in this last match day it simply means that they need to add also the upcoming game PSG vs Dortmund and every single game from these 4 at least,from these 4 semi finals so we have all the options available.I am not that much fond of the special bets anyway and these special bets at least have ruined the structure that we had until they were introduced,I think it would have been much better if we have kept the match days exactly as the Champions League format,I hope this is changed and let me check which bets have they put up for choice for this final match day for Pot B.
276  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Nassim Taleb's ideas useful in gambling? on: April 27, 2024, 12:10:52 PM
I have long wanted to discuss the following topic with users and participants in gambling discussions. Do you think Nassim Teleb's philosophy can be of any use in gambling? His various ideas and theories? Let me just list some of his ideas and you can comment on how, if any, benefits can be gained from this:
1. Ideas from the book “Fooled by Randomness.” There are many ideas that boil down to the fact that we often mistake randomness for a pattern.
2. Ideas from the book “Black Swan”. Strategies based on anticipation of the Black Swan.
3. Ideas from the book “Antifragile.” By the way, the concept of “barbell” is also from this book. Keep 90% of the bank in conservative assets and 10% in high-risk assets.
4. Ideas from the book “Skin in the Game”.
If you think any of these ideas can be applied to gambling, explain why you think so and how specifically it can be applied. If you believe that Nassim Taleb's ideas only apply to options trading and not to gambling, tell us more about your position.


I think the best book from him is the first one "Fooled by Randomness" as I am one of those crazy persons who still believe in a pattern in a game that is full of random outcomes like a slot machine.I have many years in gambling and still the slots providers manage to deceive me with their reels making me thinking that maybe I found a pattern.Not longer than sometime ago I was playing every day the Rabbit Garden slot from Pragmatic Play and I noticed that when only buying the bonus game,if you were never able to get past the first level in three consecutive buy bonus then most likely the fourth game was a guaranteed win in the sense to be more than x100 which was the cost of buy bonus,I happen to hit it several times and it looks like this is a pattern,I know though that when I will try again it won't work,I was fooled by randomness,a victim of the first book  Grin.

I don't think that will impact traditional sport betting much and for me the reason is simple,where I live I can see that one,most people don't know crypto betting yet although the number of people who do is always in the increase yet they remain a small percentage compared to the persons who keep doing traditional sport betting like we all know it.I see a lot of people of different ages going to the biggest casino which is licensed by the state and the only one allowed to offer different games including sport betting and this is common sight as the casino is in the center of town and every time I go for a walk I see the same picture.This means that yet crypto betting impact is low and we need sometime until we feel the real impact and see people converting from traditional betting to crypto gambling.

It's impossible from my end and can't tell what position Iam or or the Top 10.
You are at the 33rd rank now in the pot B race. I'm not sure why are you facing difficulties to find out your position and the other people ranks. You can easily check it all by clicking on the "SeasonResults" (screenshot of the current leaderboard)

Are we viewing the same spreadsheet? I'm seeing the Top 10 for the first time this season. Mine look like this https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/27/rH83H.jpeg both on PC and mobile. Filter tag doesn't work either.

I thought I had lost the top 10 in the Pot B but after seeing that image here,I have got back hopes as it means that now maybe I have a chance to keep the top 10 although I see it extremely difficult during such games,most likely I would love to go for PSG all in when they play at home,I doubt they will have any problems winning at home and the motivation surely is not lacking now that they see a real possibility to get to the final and not being in front of some scary team like Manchester City,they are out of the Champions League.I have not made my final decision yet,maybe I do 4 different bets with 4 different stakes in it,this has worked out well in the last rounds for me.

If they want to maintain any chance of catching up with Arsenal, they must win today. But you see, they have gone into decline, and they cannot find their previous game, in this state the team is unpredictable, and I definitely would not dare to bet on them, especially since the odds are quite low, only 1.5 for an away game is not enough, considering how they play now.

Perhaps I’m rushing to conclusions, but I think that Liverpool has already dropped out of the leadership race, there are very few matches left and such mistakes usually become fatal, and the champion will be those who hold out until the end.
Liverpool's chances of winning the title are very slim now and they have already given up on it so their motivation for this match probably won't be that great and of course it would be quite risky to bet on a team like Liverpool now.
West Ham are also not that bad when they play at home and on the other hand, Liverpool's performance, which has been very poor in the last few matches, does not guarantee that they will be able to recover in this week's match.

I would avoid betting on Liverpool, I think it is better, they are not in good form and it will be quite difficult to predict.
Maybe it's better to bet on over or under goals in this week's match between West Ham vs Liverpool.

I would bet on Liverpool only if the odd of them is well over 2 which I think that not to be the case,in fact I just checked at it is at 1.45,totally not right in my opinion also.In this case I would bet on West Ham +1 Asian Handicap as the odd would be at least 2 or near it as a bare minimum and judging by the performance of Liverpool which they have lost 3 consecutive games I don't think they have any reason to comeback during this game.In sport though you never know what a team will do and maybe Liverpool can win with a huge difference of goals as maybe they unleash all their rage of these 3 lost games on West Ham,surely they have the firepower and capability to do so.

Overtimes included, except for outcome:
- in M1b "Real to score in both halves [regular time, no ET counted] (3.0)"

I saw it later in slaman29's screenshot, sorry man.
It was hidden in a wall of text and with kids time is money so I skipped most of it. Grin

Still unsure what to pick, it would be much easier if I thought Real is winning in Munich - but I don't.

I think Real will score in both events and that is a good pick if you are going for the specials,they were able to win against Manchester City after all and this shows a lot of their capability,they were able to score against them in both matches so I expect the same to be done even more easily than they did against City.

I don't know if they will win in Munich but I know for sure that they are the team qualifying for the final with about 95% accuracy and I think that you are free,in the sense you have a lot of free time to make your Pot B choice without any pressure at all because in Pot A you have already secured the second spot which is a great prize so nothing to lose for you.
