Let just face the fact,  which is that,  we are tired of seeing shit being put in our face being rapped as world changes,  what are changing in the world?

As far as cryptocurrency is concern,  Bitcoin is the ultimate coin and all other coins are just altcoins which means alternative coins,  so why bringing up an unrealistic picture for your project for whatever reason,  calling it a possible cryptocurrency  world chang?r.

I like what you say, it is true about the weak mentality, it is not something that can be worth carrying always, especially when it is with a casino, a player should always control his emotions and not allow the emotions to be above his person Here in these cases what should be done is that when there is a lot of danger of doing things wrong, then stop and wait, not jump in, because I have played like that and when I get carried away by emotions and I mess up more and lose or so I won, I feel that I have been irresponsible , because I have risked more than I should have and that is not the idea, I mean doing things in a controlled manner and not risking too much.

Well for the fact that our mentality matters a lot in whatever we are doing we have to employ a stable mentality that can allow us to make proper decisions that will help us in some ways possible that will place us in a winning position,  this could also affect our winning rate at some points.

If a gambler allows his emotions to have control of his thoughts and mindset towards the game,  it still can hamper his chances of winning since he may be prone to making decisions at the wrong time,  since his emotions are in control.
Emotions influence the way one gambles. Not so fast: This doesn't reveal anything new. Nevertheless, I respect your attempt at knowledge. Really cute. What is the true tragedy, you ask? Losers, just like you mentioned, are everywhere. They're mindlessly scrolling through their phones, searching for porn, or just hanging about in search of junk food. They never mentally prepare themselves, and then, everyone knows that "then". They have an addiction to something. If you take gambling seriously, check your emotional baggage at the door and adopt a tough mentality. If not, just speak without doing anything.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
I every well agree with you any ways because when you are emotional stable you become accurate in staking your games and being following up as the match progresses because often times than none,  a lot of odds changes in-between the line that of the gambler emotional state of mind is not stable it won't be so ok to take the right position.

Quite clear that gamblers often need to take care of they emotional well being of others to stay ahead in making game calculations and decisions that will place them in a better position.

at the moment I seem to have become an Al Nassr fan but that does not mean I am too proud of this team because after all this is all because of Mane and Ronaldo who are currently the team mainstays and I not mind if someone might say this because in reality Al Nassr is without Ronaldo and Mane not be this strong. maybe we can look for other examples, such as Al Taawon, which was once considered a weak team and had more original players in the SPL, but in reality this team is able to compete and can be above Al Nassr.
sometimes we as fans are too ambitious to brag about our favorite team, but for me too much is not good because after all, injury surprises always hinder a team and will definitely cause a decline in performance so I not be too proud.
I'm yet to pick a Saudi Team to support but they're two teams impressed with in the league which are Al-Nassr and Al-Hilal I love the way Al-Hilal has transformed into an unbeatable team this season by strengthening their squad depth with quality players that's got experience in different European leagues I was impressed to see their new signing Neymar his debut and the match more entertaining with his skills and good passes, made me wonder why he left the European football to Al-Hilal when he's still got more to offer there.

 Anyways Al-Nassr also Strengthen their team as well with top quality players and I think the Ronaldo's influence has made me to love their team more than Al-Hilal and him and Mane has made the team very successful since they came into the club and have even made Al-Nassr won a cup this season, these two teams are my favourites and they've made the league more interesting.
The Saudi Arabia football league is gaining a lot of traction lately,  and this is indeed a new revolution for them and most of the team/clubs are really coming out strong,  with all their recent top players signing and incredible performance very soon Saudi Arabia is going to become the next global football center and a lot of attentions is going to be shifted to them.

Any way many of us have not also chosen a team to support,  although some member may have more interest than us and have gone ahead to make personal analysis and coming up with their preferred club,  but for me, I will still watch most of them from afar for now.

It wasn't an easy win for Arsenal despite being in control especially in the second half. But getting three points was the important point of course. Trossard hasn't been scoring a goal in Premier League games for a very long time. But today he scored the winning goal and finally finished this bad streak for himself.

Things are going well for Arsenal in the league. But they might need to improve their performance a little more in the long term. This is important for especially big games. Their next game is against Tottenham in Emirates so I really wonder how this game will end.

It definitely wasn’t an easy game for Arsenal as Everton seemed determined to hold them to a draw or try to get a win themselves. Unfortunately, Arsenal persisted and got a goal in the second half of the game that ultimately gave them the win at the end of the game.
Everton did put up a good fight as their defense tried in thwarting Arsenals constant attacks that I had actually thought for a second that the game might end up being a goalless draw. That thought quickly left as Arsenal scored. I had thought more goals would follow but Arsenal couldn’t follow up with another one till the game ended.
Even with all the efforts put into today's game by Evarton,  it still ball down to the reality that Asernal was able to beat them in the game,  and this is where the truth is,  Evarton may think that Asernal should at least away with a draw with them which could have been to Evarton own advantage.

But with the chances that presented itself in the second half a goal came in for Asernal which sealed the deal for them,  and I am glad the match ended that was at least Asernal hard a clear winning this time.

Upon reading the progression of this thread, it appears that you may have misunderstood the message you received. It has nothing to do with Cloudbet being hacked; it's just that they are reiterating that your password may have been compromised. But even still, if I haven't confirmed the source of the message, I wouldn't click any link and would move forward with just checking the website myself.

With the amount of hacks going around, it's great that these casinos have the time to do a SMS or email blast. They're just looking out for your safety, after all.
The rate of hacks in recent time is at alarming rate and at that most casinos are taking precautions to protect the gamblers,  because if the almighty stake can experience a hack some time about a week plus everyone need to take actions to protect yourself and if you are gambling on a casino that allows you to have extra securities then I advise you to activate them.

Why casinos send this kind of warning message is because they trying to protect the customer account from getting emptied if there are any possible hack situations in the casino.
2686  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free spins are also a demo in disguise? on: September 17, 2023, 10:27:16 PM
Free spins are actually giving some opportunities for lucky players to win some decent amount, but since we all know that most of the time the casinos get lucky more than us, then it’s seldom to see winning from free spins than losing it. However, I can tell that those free spins are real and not manipulated by the casino as we have seen some gamblers who are very aggressive when it comes to playing free spins.
I agree with that,  there os high possibility that a player that os given free spin will certainly win a few bulk that can help push his gaming time forward even though he may not have direct deposits,  this is why in my earlier comment,  I started how demo accounts differs in high proportion to free spin.

I have been given free spin before and in the cost of trying the use the buses,  I won a good amount of money that was x2 of the total amount awarded in the free spin,  after my total wager.

The demo is only good for testing the games to have a feel of what they look like even though there are great differences between demo account games and the real live games,  so do take your results and drill on the demo account as being an expert,  you may meet a different thing entirely.

*it always seems to be a 'him'.

Well, the gap between male politicians to female politicians up to this date is still huge, so the existence of corruption will be more noticeable to male species. In the future where the number of female to male politcians is almost equal or equal, only then we can have a data that will prove if gender is a related for this "CORRUPTION"
Who else but him,  (because he have to take all the risk).

The merging between male and female politicians is still very high and at that we can easily ascribed the causes pf that to lack of participation from the female politicians,  because sometime they can't take the risks that os involved in contesting and winning elections in most places,  and this also is evident in the political conduct in some places.

Political struggle in Africa most especially is too rough for women to get involved and even if they,  they get kicked behind by the male forsk who sees this thing as man's business,  but seriously,  it will really be nice if we can at least let a woman president in Africa and let us test the line of leadership.
2688  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: September 17, 2023, 09:54:17 PM

The same way several men became more active gamblers because with the internet , they can gamble peacefully from the comfort of their homes or offices, so also are women in their small numbers, have decide to try gambling since it no longer required going to a physical casinos to sit together with different men and all that .
with everyone becoming more connected to the internet, whether women, men, children, adults, or old people can easily connect to online gambling and to get accurate data on what percentage of female gamblers globally, I am 100% sure we will never be able to get the right number.  we are in 2023, gender equality is quite important, 1 in 100 women worldwide must have gambled or actively gambled.

I am waiting for the time I could see holistic research that can put this argument to rest at some point,  but all the same, we can still have some discussions based on the fact that none of the arguments have any substantial evidence.
People nowadays don't really think about religious prohibitions, women and men are the same, even women and men who are religious still often commit acts that violate religious rules.
Religion in some countries prohibits gambling for both women and men and most of those countries that only limit women are very few to none and that is why we started that a lot of these comments on women restrictions are based on assumptions since there is no real fact to state that only women are not allowed to gamble.

Because most of the countries that have gambling ban is for both women and men and not only women,  what we may have is discrimination in society against women involved in gambling.
2689  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: September 17, 2023, 09:43:22 PM
Real Sociedad was leading 1-0 in the first half. But Valverde scored in the first minute of the second half. And now the match is tied at 1-1. Bellingham, Valverde and Joselu's performances were good enough today. But we haven't seen a better performance from young Rodrygo. This match clearly shows that Madrid lack experienced strikers in their squad. Madrid's defense and midfield are very strong. But they are lagging behind due to lack of experienced finishers. Madrid had the opportunity to score several goals. However, Modrich is in Madrid's squad. After 70 minutes, maybe Ancelotti will bring Modrich on as a substitute.
The final result was 2-1 for Real Madrid's victory in the match against Real Sociedad. If you look at the course of the match, Real Sociedad surprised the fans at the Bernabeu stadium because they scored an early goal which gave them an early lead in this match. But Real Madrid doesn't want to repeat the bad history when they were beaten by Real Sociedad with a score of 2-0. Thus they continued to try and build attacks in the second half until Valverde didn't need much time to equalize. By successfully equalizing, Real Madrid continued to increase the tempo of their game until Joselu was able to put Real Madrid in the lead with a goal he scored in the 60th minute. Even the 2-1 lead lasted until the match ended, winning 3 points made Real Madrid return to the top of the standings and maintain their trend is to achieve consecutive wins at the start of this season.
This was a bad match for real Madrid even though the managed to win the match with 2:1 which came late since Real Madrid concluded the first goals but we're able to equalize after a tough chase up along the way,  this make a lot of sense if Real Madrid take the winning as a warning sign of what is ahead of them in this season.

With all the money spent in acquiring new players,  how then have real Madrid fallen behind in performance and their struggling to win matches even against smaller clubs?
2690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 17, 2023, 09:39:55 PM
To me,  Asernal had a successful outing in this weekeven though this Sunday game end with a gaol difference in favor of Asernal and coming up against another stronger club like Evarton is a big deal that Asernal have to celebrate their winning and at least with this winning now,  Asernal is gradually moving towards the last season position.

And hopefully Asernal could break the record the failed to achieve in the last season due to be challenge or the other towards to end of the season where they were finally pushed down by ManchesterCityy.
2691  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Creating altcoin for business financing on: September 17, 2023, 09:29:14 PM
Project financing through token issuance use to be profitable for investors before,  but with the recent multiple experience with scam projects who only exist on papers and not in real life just to secure investors funds to use for their gains,  this has affected investors motivation level and also have effected their overall trust in such project.

And just as you said that you have a year of business experience but lack the funding,  I am sure to secure a loan and develop the coin to a certain level of success before you invite investors to buy into your share by issuing them the tokens and think that way you can easily attract potential investors.
2692  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Free spins are also a demo in disguise? on: September 17, 2023, 07:06:09 PM
Free spin are not the same thing with demo and if your free spin winning happen to be the same amount with your friends, I think it is nothing to worry about because it may be chance occurrence which is also what comes with free spin. However, I believe free spin winning rate is lower, I have not been lucky enough with that only few times on a very low rate .
Really I have hard some luck with spins and the payout was very encouraging at some point which is why I have come up with a formula that worked for me several times before,  which is spinning with a lower merging which seems to increase my winning chances sometime.

A free spin is not the same with demo accounts,  since winning from a free spin can easily be withdrawn and winning from a demo account and real winning at that you can withdraw them.

Because it's not just about what is the message you're trying to give. It's also about who you are trying to onfluence because promoting gambling carries a responsibility to ensure that the message is targeted at responsible and informed adults who can make decisions about their gambling activities with full awareness of the associated risks. Encouraging responsible gambling behaviours and providing information about the potential risks of gambling is crucial.

Irresponsible or overly enthusiastic endorsements can potentially lead vulnerable individuals into gambling without adequate information or awareness of the consequences. This is why many countries have regulations in place to ensure responsible advertising and marketing of gambling activities.
The countries that have hard high regulations on gambling are all aimed at stopping underaged gambling and also reducing possibilities of gambling associations and its resultant effects,  this is so because b gambling has been taken to be some sort of source of income and while others are taking it for get rich quick scheme.

All this has contributed to what makes up for the reasons behind some governments' ban on gambling and what becomes the resultant outcome of things for the individual involved,  but more also,  is important to take note of all the possible procedures in gambling and what makes up for the right age and frame of mind to make a responsible gambler,  even though it may sound way more than just being called a gambler.
I have seen these so-called "high regulations" for myself, and it's almost funny how little they cover when it comes to gambling. It's good that they say they're protecting young people. But, isn't it all about making money and selling people for the governments?

It's intriguing that you suggest gaming may help you "get rich quick." Many young and old have fallen into that rabbit hole, and it's not their age. Easy money drives drunkenness. Gaming's use of "responsible" is intriguing. Some create a budget, follow it, and leave. However, the crowds seeking excitement drown them out. Accepting that gambling isn't a career may be the first step to responsibility

Well that just the fact when it comes to kyc issues and who is at risk and to whom that risk is paused,  this is because it's will all bounce back to one main fact which is not the interest of the gamblers but the interest of the government and the casino and both of them benefits from the obvious fact that the gamblers either lose money and they win or paying high fees for licensing which is what most government see known for.

So what they hide under is two things which are:

1: that their are fighting underaged gambling

2: that their ate fighting against money laundering

Both of which does not have the interest of gamblers at heart.
2694  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: September 17, 2023, 05:11:29 PM

I've often thought why people in general are so quick to draw conclusions without having enough information. Is it laziness? Or maybe not wanting to put in the work? The world isn't always black and white, and the gambling world is no different

If there isn't already study on how men and women interact with gambling, it's time for someone to get busy and do it. It is an obsolete idea at best to argue that men predominate in gambling. When it comes to this, women are just as strong as guys. If women are becoming more interested, it's time to acknowledge and encourage them to join in. What I already think is true: women can and are changing the gambling scene
I don't think only laziness can cause that because being unable to gather information that could support their discussions on this Fender-based gambling and for that, we have seen a lot of comments that are burned out of shared assumptions which is not good for this discussion.

I am waiting for the time I could see holistic research that can put this argument to rest at some point,  but all the same, we can still have some discussions based on the fact that none of the arguments have any substantial evidence.

2696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gender in Gambling [differences between Women and Men in Gambling] on: September 16, 2023, 10:06:54 PM
Agree to that, even we don't have the exact basis for summing up the numbers of women gambler the chance that it's already increases due to the use of online gaming/casinos will give them that chance to play. Though in some places especially those first world countries they are no longer caring about who's inside the casinos as fair treatment already being enjoyed by everyone, the increase of women gambler already rise they are also enjoying the same way with how men gambler uses the platforms.

Both men and women gamblers percentage are just a mere speculation and not accurate in the first place although it's obvious that the number of men that are gambling outnumbered that of women. But is there any casino that discriminate against women? Most of the casinos I know are not gender biased and some don't even make it compulsory to fill the gender icon while registering but rather make it optional. Women have the right to enjoy every treatment men are being given as far as gambling is concerned despite the fact that majority of women are not too active and regular in gambling. After all, casinos are out there to make money and care less about who's behind the scenes playing games.
Ther have not been any scientific research that have been carried out to know if the number of men in gambling is higher than that of women,  this is so because most often than none we stand to just jump into assumptions that men get involve in gambling higher than women,  without we having any proven data to support the claims,  so at best we should have a well define researched result that can accurate calculate the ratio of male gamblers vs female.

This is very important to not at some point,  and it will help us to open up further on the possibilities of discussing correctly with the right data,  because since after COVID lockdown,  there has been a higher inflow of online gamblers traffic and mostly maybe women.
2697  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino features you like and Don't like but you don't mind on: September 16, 2023, 09:55:31 PM
What I like about my favorite casino is that KYC is never compulsory. You can still play and withdraw your winnings even without KYC verification. What I don't like but still continue to play with it is it's high transaction fee. I just do a one time withdrawal just to lessen the price of transaction fee.
Exactly and even though there are licensed casinos,  ther still does not make kyc mandatory at the point of opening an account on the casino,  this is what motivated a lot of us to stick to our current casinos,  I have a wired feeling some few day back,  when I took out time to use a new casino since I was doing some reviews for them,  but while I was there I always miss playing on stake since for over sometime now,  stake have become my sure bet when it comes to weekly wagering.

And since over time,  I have deposited and withdrawn from stake without being asked for any form of KYC at any point in time,  this makes me feel more secure and privacy-oriented.

@swogerino, @Fivestar4everMVP and @Saint-loup
I realized what made the freebitcoin website unable to be accessed easily in recent days because it turned out that this casino was included in a website that was blocked by my ISP so I had to access it via VPN to be able to access it perfectly.

All sites containing gambling would be blocked by almost all ISPs in my country. Usually when a site is blocked a positive internet notification will appear but using Brave Browser the notification doesn't appear so I don't know that it has been blocked.

After being a member of this casino for quite a long time, freebitcoin was one of the casinos that could be accessed without a VPN, but now that's not the case anymore, and because FBIN is very VPN friendly, there are no worries about using a VPN.
Be careful, Freebitcoin is VPN friendly unless no other user is using the same VPN address as you. Otherwise you will be unable to claim your free rolls and you'll receive messages saying that someone used the same IP as you
Well, you are very right, but is also interesting to know that even without using VPN, Many of us still encounter the free roll error which sometimes say that someone else have used the same IP to claim as we..

But all the same, it is still very advisable not to use free VPN since that could make the whole matter worst, and also using free VPN to play on several other casinos may result in the system flagging your account for multi accounting which could trigger KYC request from the casino.
To me VPN usage is a no no since it will place me at higher risk of losing the rewards I already earned if the casino demand that I go through kyc to prove my identity and prevent multiple accounts claiming same rewards which is an abuse on the casino.

I will also try to access the site from my end to see what is next with the site and if I can take part in the context.

We know that USDT is coming back from the most horrific situations from the past. But I want you to answer this, what do you do if someday without any signs USDT falls back to 0.1-0.2$? What do you do? Can you survive in this situation? What do you do if you put all your assets in USDT?

Just curious to know your answer. Don't say reasons that it won't happens, because I want to know if something this kind of thing happens in future what will you do?

If you ask my replay to this, I can say I will ok with it. Because I put my 20% into USDT right now. Why? because you know guys there is an Old saying Never put your all eggs in the same basket.  Wink
Well to be honest with you,  it won't effects the price of any coin and if you are holding Bitcoin at the time of USDT dropped as per say in the op,  you still be at an advantage since the total amount of USDT vs Bitcoin will differs significantly,  but if you are holding USDT as at the time of the crisis,  that will be a devastating situation.

But then I believe we shouldn't hold so much of a particular coin if not bitcoin as far as cryptocurrencies are concerned.
