Еще один системник xeon e5 2680 v4, 32 Gb оперативки, 512 ssd, rx 570 8 Gb введен в работу. Обошелся в 36к, забавно наблюдать как комплектуха неуклонно дорожает (блок питания и кулер синхронно прибавили по 200 рэ и это всего за пару недель).

Других новостей нет, ничем новым и другими играми не занимался, пока нет настроения и еще не решил куда развиваться дальше - есть несколько вариантов, но все труднозатратные: 1.) торговля на ebay (есть в США релокант с необходимыми документами 2.) ютуб 3.) готовить вторую локацию под фарминг и искать вторую игру (не ту вторую которая уже найдена, а вторую где будет кешфлоу необходимый и совсем другой фарминг, грубо говоря хочу попробовать что-то типа золота в ВОВ/диванов в ПОЕ).

Пока буду доить существующую корову, по сути решил не распыляться а концентрироваться на возможностях которые есть здесь и сейчас. Вывел 30к.

I try to never bet in a hurry, so if I'm pressed for time, I'd rather skip the game than bet in a hurry.
Live betting is a different matter - the original point here is to act quickly and here bets at any minute are good if that is your strategy. Some people like to catch outcomes in the last minutes of the game, others like to place bets immediately after a goal is scored (when they are suboptimal for some time and value can be obtained). In fact, any bet is good if it matches your strategy.

What make me not understand is Neymar, he can play for Brazil, but he haven't play any single game in Al Hilal. Based on few sources I found if Neymar is still injured lol, I think he has no interest to play in Saudi Professional League. Wihout Neymar, Brazil can still able to beat Bolivia to be honest.

There's no any good matches yet, we will see a big match in the next 2 months where Brazil will meet Argentina.

It would be interesting to see the Saudis' reaction if Neymar aggravated his injury and things went like Pogba did last season (interesting doesn't mean I'd want that). A really strange situation and I didn’t notice it until I read your comment. Apparently, after a pause due to international games, Neymar will still play his debut game
2684  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: September 12, 2023, 09:27:08 PM

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Italy once again misses the result they need - missing a goal “into the locker room” is always psychologically unpleasant, and now only one goal separates them from disaster (probably even a draw with Ukraine would be a catastrophic result). Maybe psychological pressure will affect the players (plus, in fact, the Ukrainian national team is a strong team in itself) in a negative sense. Spalletti now needs to find the right words to set up the players for the second half.

Italy survived this time, winning 2-1 against Ukraine and are now level on points with Ukraine in the race for EURO 2024; The bigger question meanwhile is that is this a sustainable performance by italy? can they make the EUROS and defend their title in Germany? i think it is unlikely, what do you think ?

First, they need to qualify. They have one easy game ahead with Malta, one strange one with North Macedonia (who knows how they will play each other for the third time) and two difficult ones - away against England and Ukraine. Success here is far from guaranteed.
Well, in general, as long as France in its modern form is in the tournament, it will be the favorite. Everyone else has a chance and Italy doesn't look any better than everyone else, so I'd give them 10 percent at most.

Wow! Great news! I was already starting to worry  Cheesy
I remembered the nervous tension I felt last season and since the prizes are very tempting, I will continue to experience it now  Grin Hopefully I can take my mind off things and make predictions without being under pressure (which usually hurts the results).

I would still play these pools without a sponsor (and there was always going to be one, even if it was going to be modest Wink

Because you are gambling addict!  Grin
I also immediately confirmed my participation and was ready to play without a sponsor, but when good money is at stake, it fuels the excitement.
By the way, this season the situation with “waiting for the next round” will be easier since neither FIFA nor UEFA have invented any winter tournament. Ideally, we will see a good, even season, although my desire to see the rivalry of the three tops in the form of Real + Mbappe, Bayern + Kane, City + Haaland did not come true.

    Italy vs Ukraine

Italy is having a wonderful time in the match as the second goal has been scored on the 29th minutes of the match. The goal was thought to be an offside, not until VAR called for goal check and it was counted as a goal by the referee. It was clear that the second goal was an offside but the referee has the final decision. Both goals was scored by Fratessi on the 12th and on the 29th minutes.

The game is getting tensed as Ukraine is not relenting but mounting pressure on the Germans,which lead to the cancellation of one goal by Yamolenko on the 41st minutes of the game. I was thinking that Italy will win the games easily but with the way Ukraine are pressuring to equalise the second goal might not give Italy the chance to win this game easily. The first half is over and I believe that there will be more goals in the second half.
Italy 2-1 Ukraine

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if Italy once again misses the result they need - missing a goal “into the locker room” is always psychologically unpleasant, and now only one goal separates them from disaster (probably even a draw with Ukraine would be a catastrophic result).

2687  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: September 12, 2023, 07:47:36 PM
Hmmm... My losses for a long time have been associated only with betting on sporting events, so most of the reasons listed in the first post do not affect me (I place bets in advance). From what I noticed, the main reasons are a violation of my own rules - for example, in order to increase the odds of a multi-bet, I add a prohibited outcome to it. For example, Dortmund's victory (when they are not on a winning streak = they have not proven that they have temporarily overcome their instability).
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approac? on: September 12, 2023, 07:37:09 PM
In my opinion, it’s better to have a small capital and a big risk, because if I risk a lot of capital for the sake of a 10% profit, success will not impress me. But if I win 1000% of the bet, then emotions make themselves felt. In addition, it is obvious that it is better to lose a small bet than a huge deposit. This is a kind of damage control.
If you check some football in-play, you will notice odds like 1.02 down to the ones I have mention above. With 1.02 odd, that is 0.02% profit and people going for that such odds are not wise at all because once they will lose, they lose in a way that will cause them depression and they will continue to lose money to gambling. 10% of profit is 1.1 odd and that is also still small. Just like I have said above, I prefer nothing less than 1.5 odd while gambling with bookmakers, while nothing less than 3 odds in casinos.

Yes, I have good betting experience. I never make single bets on such low odds - there is no point in this (maybe except for the wager, but I am not distracted by such bonuses). I sometimes add low odds selections to my multi bets but even here I prefer a range of 1.3-1.7 and a total odds of 6 to 10. Such bets don’t always work out, but when they do, I get a lot of positive emotions.

Damage control can be very helpful in such situations and one of the most ignored damages control features that gamblers neglect some time is the cash out features,  because even the smallest odds can still lose so since there is no guaranteed odds one need to be very smart enough to monitor the entire game process and being able to make decisions in-between,  because that is what make the difference when you want to apply damage control not to lose the entire bet.
~

Cashout is usually too expensive to use. If the game has started and the situation has not changed, then it is already worth 10-15% of the bet, and if things did not go in our favor, then immediately more than 50%. Sometimes it is easier to make a hedge bet, but this is also expensive. I prefer not to fuss and just see how it all ends (unexpected endings are common in sports).
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: September 12, 2023, 07:26:09 PM
I haven't had any reckless gambling session in years, but I did had that type of times back in the day. I can easily say that mine started after a loss streak most of the time.

Because, when you are doing alright and there isn't any low chance of thing going on, then you should be doing fine. Like for example lets take martingale as an example, that's something you make money if you face no issue, but having 10 loss in a row is not impossible neither, in fact that's the reason you can't make a profit from gambling, if that didn't happen you would be profiting. Back in the day I had those days and then I would chase the loss and make most of my losses there. So for me reckless gambling started due to loss streaks.

But streaks of failures do not depend on us and, as you correctly noted, their occurrence is inevitable. It turns out that in order to avoid maximum losses or the feeling of a killer gaming session after a losing streak begins, you should take a break and continue, for example, the next day. Even if the losing streak continues and is quite long, if you stretch it out over several days, it will be easier to bear, both morally and financially.
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Big capital, small risk or small capital big risk - which is best approac? on: September 12, 2023, 07:19:18 PM
Different people with different approach to gambling. Some prefer committing huge capital to high probability small odds while others prefer using small capital to target big wins. There are many reasons for each of these approaches.

While those that put huge capital win more often, their losses are usually painful. On the other hand, those that commit small capital to make huge wins rare win but when they do, they win big; their losses too are less painful. There are other advantages and disadvantages for both approaches but for the sake of this discussion, let's know which approach you think is better and why?

In my opinion, it’s better to have a small capital and a big risk, because if I risk a lot of capital for the sake of a 10% profit, success will not impress me. But if I win 1000% of the bet, then emotions make themselves felt. In addition, it is obvious that it is better to lose a small bet than a huge deposit. This is a kind of damage control.

@leea1334 @tokeweed @swogerino @ajiz138 and others, I'm really glad you all decided to join.

I'm pleased to announce our biggest-ever prize pot of $11,000 ($10,000 crypto + $1,000 in freebets) in sponsorship funds, courtesy of crypto casino and sportsbook Rollbit!

OP has now been updated with new guidance while we continue to work (I say we, but it's really just joker_josue haha) on refining the form submission for the odds-based event.

Summary of this season's new points:
- 70/30 prize split. 70% to Superbru classic pool, as that's the most popular, 30% to the odds-based event, which is experimental. Use this week to read the rules and test out the new system!
- 20 prize spots, not 10 -- but you can win in both events.
- stablecoin, but BTC payout, end of season. This preserves the dollar value, per request of sponsor.

We now have 33 confirmed participants (13 paid, marked below with asterisk. Paid but no asterisk? PM me!), and 2 tentative (marked in brackets). Can we see if we get the numbers to cross 50? Invite your degen friends!

Удивительно что Stake.com продолжает свою подписную кампанию после взлома на $41,300,000, произошедшего в начале прошлой недели.

Куш, который был сорван хакерами относится к одному из крупнейших их уловов этого года и несмотря на это казино не прекратило свою работу и продолжает зазывать клиентов даже через подписную кампанию.

Я всего один раз в жизни зашёл в казино ради интереса. Проиграл всё до цента и после этого туда ни ногой.

Во взломе  Stake.com обвиняют Lazarus -известную группу хакеров из Северной Кореи.

Им эти 40 лямов тьху и растереть. В прошлом году их прибыль составила 2.6 миллиарда долларов, а своему партнеру реперу Drake они заплатили 100 лямов за рекламу. Вот тут немного подробностей в том числе и по взлому:
https://decrypt.co/154874/drake-crypto-gambling-stake-suspicious-transfers-exploit
С учётом того что местная реклама им обходится буквально в копейки, не думаю что стоит ожидать каких-то изменений (хотя оплату могли бы и повысить  Grin ).
2693  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the Difference Between Plying Gambling on Online Sites and Real Casinos? on: September 11, 2023, 12:50:47 PM
In my country there are no casinos operating because it is an illegal activity. However, many online gambling sites operate and have many users from our country. So, even though I often play on online gambling sites, I have absolutely no experience playing gambling in real casinos. I often watch YouTube about gambling in real casinos, especially about slot machines. I noticed that in real casinos, slot games do not have a buy free spins feature

Do you have experience playing at real casinos and online gambling sites? Is there a difference playing there? I want to know.

I have little experience playing in offline casinos, but in my opinion the main difference is not the game mechanics or anything like that, but the atmosphere. If you have visited a large casino, it is always fun there, music is playing and the bustle around creates a feeling of celebration. It is not surprising that in such an environment many lose their heads and lose more than they planned. It is very difficult to experience such emotions at home (if you play online).

We know the Saudi teams usually try to get what they want by spending too much money and every palyer usually gets attracted when they spend a huge amount of money, They tried to hire Salah from Liverpool but they failed, however Sauids was really close to having the agreement but in the end, Salah tried in Liverpool. Now the next project will be Lewandowski who is a goal-scoring machine in Barcelona and I'm sure Barcelona will not lose this player easily even in the next summer when he gets older.

Salah was interested in a move, but Liverpool did not agree due to the fact that they obviously did not have an adequate replacement for this player. Maybe by next summer they will find a replacement and then sell him for a profit. Lewandowski will be 36 next summer, I think Barcelona will get rid of him easily because even now his performance is far from what was expected when he moved to Barcelona.

В России откроется первый факультет блокчейна и криптовалют. Частный университет «Синергия» решил оседлать  хайповую тему и создать поток выпускников по крипте. Помимо собственно крипты на факультете будут изучать технологию разработки программного обеспечения, изучать языки программирования Java & C++, Pyton. Отдельные дисциплины будут вести «приглашённые эксперты», чтобы погрузить новоиспечённых студентов в магический мир финтеха. В принципе, те, кто не поступит, может присоединиться к форуму Биткойнтолк. Языкам здесь не научат, но в основы крипты въехать можно).

Интересно зачем из общей темы "программирование/It" выделять блокчейн? Выглядит это как выставление телеги впереди лошади. Ну для хайпа сойдет, плюс в целом похоже на развитие образования в направлении 70-80х в США когда люди сначала задрачивали 5 лет "теорию искусств" а потом шли в финаналитики (или туда где на рынке была востребованность специалистов широкого профиля).

~snip~
When Neymar started his football career for the national team, many legendary Brazilian footballers said that this boy would break all records in Brazilian history and become one of the best players in the world. There was potential and a lot of talent but his injuries stood in the way between his potential and talent. The achievements that he could not do in his career are completely due to injuries. I have never seen Neymar play a full season for any club. If a player is out for most of a season, no matter how good he is, he will never be able to shine in his career. Although Neymar has overcome so many obstacles, in the end Pele, the king of football, has overcome him. No Brazilian player has ever scored as many goals as Neymar has scored for the national team. Maybe he would have surpassed Pele's goal tally long ago if not for injuries.

There will always be reasons (aka excuses) for someone to not achieve something.

Pele and Maradona will always be the superstars of football. They were extraordinary players at the time.

The only thing that matters is how extraordinary you are, potential is just a promise. The only thing that matters is what you deliver.

Same with Michael Jordan for example. He is the GOAT because even when he was sick he was playing extraordinarily well.

Absolutely right. Only the end result matters. In fact, every year many talents appear that can become geniuses, but it’s one thing to shine for one or two or three years, and another thing to be able to do this for 20 years. Now we see Haaland and Mbappe, they are undoubtedly great players, but to become legendary they need to show results throughout their careers. If for one reason or another they don’t succeed, then they will be in the crowd of the same great players who tried but failed. Neymar is a great player, but still he remained one of many, although he could have risen one step higher.

Interesting analysis and in fact I see that bookmakers estimate the probability of Dortmund winning as low (less than 50%):

3.45 - 3.55 - 2.12

I’m not sure that the bet on Freiburg is justified, since the odds are not so good - only 3.45, and the game could end in either a draw or a victory for Dortmund. Maybe it makes sense to bet on Freiburg Double chance with odds 1.70.

I think Freiburg has good chance to win this one. Dortmund are very poor in terms of goal scoring right now. I feel if Freiburg manages to score 2-3 goals then I don't think Dortmund have a chance to win or draw. I also agree that Freiburg and double chance seems to be a very good bet here. It's gonna be a good shot as Dortmund has really let down so far since the start.

Even Bayern will have a hard time winning if they concede 2-3 goals first  Grin although they often concede 3 goals after leading 5-0 or something like that. In fact, this will be another random match from Dortmund and I don’t know what bet to make is more correct, maybe it’s even worth making a live bet or just passing by this game.

I don't quite understand the seriousness of the charges - Anthony hasn't been arrested or anything? I wonder if these accusations turn out to be false, who will compensate him for the damage to his reputation and work (suspension from football games)? As I understand it, the accusing party has exactly zero facts and evidence - there is nothing but words. It’s sad if the girl didn’t want to go to the police in time, but it’s no less sad if she’s now engaged in slander and blackmail.
It's a shame there are cases like this. If Anthony was guilty then he would have to bear the consequences but what if this girl lied, especially if there was no evidence, wouldn't he also have to pay a fine as a consequence? If he attacked someone else's integrity like this, there would definitely be consequences. Otherwise, these girls will never stop and will always use it as a tool against these public figures.

Anthony's career should not be suspended or stopped just because of allegations. This must be proven in court, not just framing accusations. Otherwise, anyone can destroy anyone's career with just words and flimsy evidence, and can also blackmail men for huge payouts. I hope Anthony will return to Man United next week and his case will be resolved quickly.

Yes, this is complete nonsense. When a “word against word” situation arises, but one side suffers greatly from the very occurrence of such a situation, it is very easy to blackmail even an honest person. This is absolutely unacceptable and I am against organizations (in this case United) supporting the accusers until there is a clear decision from the court.

I've never seen any FIFA official statement concerning the very expensive transfer deals from the Saudi Arabian clubs, any move to investigate them and possibly sanction them.
The Saudi clubs I believe knew the FIFA rules before the huge transfer deals that the got involved in and would not want to get in the black books of FIFA hence the reason to not fault FIFA's financial rules. Though the transfers were very lucrative, I still don't think they breached FIFA rules until the football body says otherwise.

Does FIFA even have any rules regarding the cost of transfers? It seems to me that this is an internal matter of the federations and the Saudis will definitely not accept rules that will limit them. In the Saudi League, everything is fair - everyone spends as much as they can, but the fact that European clubs are in different conditions and lose competition is their problem.
