I don't know. Yes, of course, a new coach wants to win the first game, but what are the stats on that? Do they often succeed?

I think in most other leagues the fact is they often succeed and I think in Premier League it is the same when the new coach has a team with a great name like Chelsea has been in recent years for example.Now this coach with the postponement of the games in the Premier League will have somewhat an easier job winning against Salzburg tonight in the Champions League game.If Chelsea fails this then things will go inevitably wrong even in the Premier League as the moral of the players will be at the bottom of the bottom level.

And yet, there was a draw. Smiley No one was expecting it. I surely wasn't expecting that Chelsea will not win on their home field playing against Salzburg, but then it took 47 minutes for Chelsea to score, and then on the 75th minute Noah Okafor from Salzburg evened out the score. Yes, Chelsea played better, much better than their opponent, but by reason of bad luck they didn't win.

But I wouldn't say that the fighting spirit of Chelsea is at the bottom level. I think, same as Liverpool, they are going to climb up in the Premier League table in the future.

It shouldn't necessarily be "much much" better. Imo, just slightly better would be enough to win the competition. It wasn't like this before the Internet because living in one part of the world people had had little to no idea of what's going on in other parts, and even if they knew about something being better in other country, they couldn't use it. So, indeed, you had to have something much much better to draw the attention of potential customers from other countries. Now you can just copy something nice, improve it a little, and you are the winner.
Globalization has really affected almost all aspects of our lives, this is now true not only for casinos or businesses in general but also for people, now you are competing not only against the people that went to school with you, you are competing against people from all over the world, but as you say in order to be a winner in that race you do not have to be so above the competition, because that is very difficult, you only need to be a slightly better option and that will be more than enough to beat the majority of your direct competition.
^That is why being a unique gambling casino would be better than a copycat gambling casino.
Every kind of business has competition and the more you are different from others people would love to explore and experience other features that you have even though the mechanics of the games are almost the same at least you are different from others. A gambling casino that has its own developers would be better than buying a script that has already made it possible there are similarities to other gambling casinos.

Of course being a unique gambling casino would be better than a copycat, no doubt about that, but in reality it's practically impossible. The established model of sports betting, for example, is so good, so convenient for bettors, that with making something entirely new you are risking to be left without customers. Let alone slots that are rented from software providers. They are all the same. How can you be unique in that department? Yes, some gambling sites have their own slots, but it's only one or two among many hundreds of leased ones, and that’s because it is very costly to create a good slot.

That's why I think it is enough to be a bit different, in a good way, to win the competition these days.

If you travel to different countries, you can easily spot the difference between more cultured peoples and less cultured ones. In prosperous countries, where people are more educated and thus more cultured, you can see goods and food items for sell left on the street without anyone watching over them. ...
I don't know about you but there are a lot of prosperous countries where you just leave your stuff lying around without it being taken/stolen.


That's what I'm talking about. You can leave your stuff on the street, or you can even lose it somewhere in the park and people will return it to you.

We have the right and the full responsibility to protect what we have and that is why casinos owners need to do routine check to make sure that there casinos is properly safe for all and I term of bonus abuse so that this will not affect other users.

Actually, with reputable casinos you shouldn't worry much about your safety there. You can relax and just play, your safety is on auto-pilot there. Don't break the rules and you'll be OK.

As you say you have been in big profit after making just a few rolls, but what about after thousands ones? I doubt anyone sane will gamble more than 10% of his bank roll at each bet if he's trying to reach such wager amount. It means 1660 bets (332k/0.2k) have been made at least with an average stake of $200. On 1660 bets you are more likely to lose the house edge than to make winnings because it's not a small number. And if you are able to make winnings on large amount of bets, you are very likely to be banned or restricted.

This is actually a very interesting question for me. Is it true that you can be banned from an online casino like Stake for the only reason that you are winning too much?

I know it used to be a thing for some land based casinos in the past, but I don't think reputable online casinos of the level of Stake are practicing it these days. In fact, I'm pretty sure that all top online casinos don't do that.

It's good to see that Bitcoin is helping young peiple in Nigeria. Actually, not many people in the world realize how big Nigeria is. I myself keep forgetting that there are over 200 million people living in this country, it's because we are getting not much news from there. And in the meantime Nigeria has an impressive economic statistics:

I hope the young Nigerians that are investing in BTC right now will not regret it in the future. Many crypto experts believe that now is the right time to invest, and I personally agree with them.

My results for the 8th round in the EPL predictor weren't that good,



but they weren't that bad either. I moved 3 positions up, after all,



so I'm happy. Smiley

What I've noticed is that I'm never right about my Aston Villa predictions. I was overestimating the team during the last season, and now it seems like I'm underestimating them



Good job, guys, who predicted the exact result for this match



But even a better job by you, LTU_btc and Ibuprofen, for the match Newcastle vs Bournemouth. Just look here:



Well done!

Btw, congrats on getting the Yellow Cap for this round, LTU_btc!



As far as I remember, it's not only this nice picture of a yellow cap you are getting for scoring the most points in a round. Wink Keep it green, mate!

~ As mentioned earlier, maybe they just didn't see the benefits of bitcointalk and found customers somewhere else. There are a lot of forums and websites and social media companies all around the world that let's you promote your casino, and if the money and effort that they spend there brought in a lot of customers then they may have switched their attention there instead, and would be chatting with people there.

On the other hand they have to keep checking here time to time neither to see if there are any complaints, not unusual for casinos and if anything goes wrong they could step in and respond, but until that happens they could focus on the other place that brings in more customers.

Having a representative on bitcointalk, a site where crypto gambling is widely discussed and crypto casinos running various promos all the time will never hurt. It's good that their official representative, @chipsgg, is actually coming to the forum regularly and checking this thread.



I actually have a question regarding enabling 2FA. It's not a complaint because the problem is very likely on my side. But anyway, here it is. When I click "Enable 2FA" here


 
I'm getting a "secret line", something like this: AWBQFAF6WDJYKO26AKDJDKDAFD3ZWG3TQ3T(not my actual line, obviously). Then I copy it and paste here



click "Activate", and I'm always getting this:



I know I'm doing something wrong, but I can't figure out what exactly.

Please, explain me how to enable 2FA on chips.gg.

By the way, any person who was lucky and got a big win when he bought a lottery ticket or just started playing did not think that he would be so lucky.  
And therefore, even for some time after he found out about the win, he is in a state of euphoria or, as you can say, "taken aback" or "fucked up".  
And for some time his head does not understand and he himself becomes like a five-year-old child.  
It is very interesting to observe such a reaction of this lucky man. Smiley

Yeah, you can watch them hitting big multipliers on slots on YouTube, and it's an interesting spectacle indeed. Only "fucked up" is hardly suitable here, mate. You are "fucked up" when you bet $10k and lost it at once. When you bet 30 cents and win $18 million with that bet, "You've done a good job", they say. Although, in fact, it's not you, it's the universe, like in many other cases of lucky turn of events, but who cares? Smiley
2810  Economy / Economics / Re: "Cities of the future," built from scratch on: September 16, 2022, 09:03:37 AM

In my opinion, the first thing you need to survive under apocalyptic conditions is a good army equipped with heavy weapons. I don't think there is any futuristic city designed with that in mind (CMIIW). Unfortunately, there are still organized military groups acting like weare living in the Stone Age. They end up miserably when confronted with serious force, but you have to have that force.


In a major emergency. Even armies might have nothing to eat. If you have an army, you need extra food to feed them.

In some scenarios, it could be better to have a city in a remote location, there are no roads too. Where no one would think to look. Than to have a big army. With a small population that is easy to feed and sustain over the long term. That would make it easier to survive disasters.

Rising cost of oil and fossil fuels carry a potential to render armies useless. Much of modern war is built upon oil. Even nuclear powered submarines and aircraft carriers need massive amounts of oil to grease the moving parts.

I think russia vs ukraine is showing the limited capability of modern war. Militaries of today may not be able to fully mobilize without incurring costs in the trillions of dollars range. It may not be affordable to launch $400,000 missiles at each other over the long term. High tech weapons are expensive.

I think a hundred years ago there was a chance that a secret enclave like the "Galt's Gulch" from Ayn Rand's “Atlas Shrugged" could exist for a few years before it was found by an armed criminal gang mightier than Ragnar Danneskjöld's, but today, with all those Google Maps, Google Earth and stuff, I would give it a few months at best.

It's kinda sad, I admit, but it's the reality we are living in: a group of prosperous people can't gather together, build a a city in a remote location and peacefully live there. Without a strong army they will be robbed soon.

~ Yes, the price is going up and down really fast right now and it’s very hard to predict the right price. In my first predictions, I’ve already been very low. I take time for my second prediction and give it only shortly before the end. Fortunately, we still have until september 24.  Smiley

What I particularly like is that there are three winners each. It increases the chance of winning. I also wish all other participants good luck.  Smiley

Thank you! Good luck to you too! Smiley



Since we are talking about this, let me share one thing I was always wondering about.

What is the difference between predictions made "until 12th" and those made "between 13th-24th"? Do those earlier predictions have a priority of some kind, or just the closest ones win?

In general, the economic situation is stable ~

This made me laugh. Grin I read somewhere that Russians, almost the same as North Koreans, are living in their imaginary world that has little to do with reality, but this post of yours showed the extent of that illusion that even I didn't expect.

Just look at these graphs showing the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy:

Yeah, "the economic situation is stable", sure.
Glad you're having fun. That you are slipping me some kind of charts, I am telling you about my personal feelings from my own life and the lives of my friends. The 2014 sanctions following the annexation of Crimea were far more painful than the current ones. At that time, the ruble more than doubled against the dollar and almost all goods and services more than doubled in price, including the necessary ones, which cannot simply be abandoned. Now goods and services from the category of essential ones have risen in price by 5-10%, and some have even fallen in price, which is why the sanctions are easily tolerated.

People in Russia don't have to worry that they won't be able to buy food or pay their electricity and heating bills. Do you really think that I should suffer a lot because I can't go to the IMAX cinema or buy a can of Coca-Cola? This made me laugh too. Grin

Well, it turns out that it's easier to name the brands that did not leave Russia than those who did. So, it's surely not only Coca-Cola and IMAX; it's Microsoft, IBM, Adobe, Netflix, Spotify, Intel, Nvidia ... it's McDonald's, FFS!

I know you can survive without all that stuff, especially if you are getting your energy from the fact that you are fighting for a good cause and some evil forces united to defeat you, but you seem too intelligent to believe in what Russian propaganda is saying. You know that Russian soldiers are not fighting for a good cause here in Ukraine. In fact, among all Russian citizens, it's people like you, who suffer the most from all of this. So, yeah, I'm kinda glad my words made you laugh too. You need strength to survive until Putin's regime is over. But don't worry. Now it's obvious that it won't take long.

Obviously skilled ones will not end up with a problem, they will most of the time end up winning but in the end it is still gambling and even the worst gambler could end up getting lucky here and there. This is why I believe that you should never consider gambling as a profession, doesn't matter what kind of situation you are in, doesn't matter what you are trying to do, if you want to make money from gambling then you should stay away from it.

I believe that the best way to enjoy gambling is to consider the money you deposited as gone, then start trying to have fun with that money because you just spent some money and you want some fun in return of that money. That makes more sense right?

It does. Absolutely. That's the best approach to gambling, in my opinion. Even skilled poker players can stumble upon a long losing streak, and it's very important to never risk the money you can't afford to lose. For some people it can be tens of thousands USD, and it can be just dozens of USD for others.

I was inspired by your post, mate, and just made a multibet with similar odds. Smiley

https://sportsbet.io/sharebetslip/e064c909-3dde-4030-8d6d-b6efe6209c8f



I know my chances are slim, but I have to try, because I think I've noticed a pattern: odds must be 1.5 and above, and below 2.0 at the same time. I'll try to use this pattern several times in the future, because I'm not that presumptuous to think I can win from the first try. Smiley  We'll see how it turns out for me.

2817  Economy / Gambling / Re: What is a game you would like to see in an online crypto casino? on: September 15, 2022, 09:45:50 AM
~ To be honest, I'm not sure about the possibility of adding such a thing to the game. Are there online games where your physical force is a factor? I think there are no such games online because they can be easily exploited by malicious attackers.

What do you mean by physical force as a factor in online gambling games? Do you mean buying a special tool which measures your force and submitting your results online? That sounds like an interesting concept. But you would still have to invest in the mentioned tool if you wanted to compete, as that is not something you could do simply using your computer. And even then people would find ways to cheat and I doubt there would be good ways to control that nobody cheats.

You would not even need the tool to cheat, you would just write some code that emulates the tool and just let the code work automatically for you while you win everytime. Does not seem like a good idea to me. Interesting, just not viable very much.
~

Yes, that's exactly what I mean. The attacker can act in a fashion similar to the way of stealing a car, or something. You can do it without having the key, just imitating what the key is doing. It is surely not a good idea, because stealing is bad, obviously, but it could be viable, imo, especially if applied to the games where physical force is a factor.

I think we need games where such things as cheating are made impossible by the main control being on the server side.

Yes, we have lots of such games. In fact, all the games that are purely based on luck are unexploitable, unless the attacker knows the server seed.

That's tabs just for history activity beside (Deposit, Betting and Withdraw) not for code distribution. You need to be qualified for receive the code via email, after you receive the code and claim the code.

Then, your history claim will be on "Other".

You are right, at first I thought you are just get credited with the bonus, without entering/redeeming a promo code anywhere. Just like with the Tip Receive or Instant Bits or something.

I was receiving pretty big tips from Duelbits last year
