I think they're called foosball, and on all companies that I've joined, they have this gaming room that has this exact table.

The reason why no one is discussing about this is because there isn't really much of an interest in this at all, but there are huge tournaments all over the world regarding foosball. IIRC, Nitrogensports.eu offered some lines for the World Foosball Championship or whatever it's called back then. The lines and the odds are pretty funky because the favorites are just the same people every year and the outcome of the tournament is very predictable.

Like pool, I think game providers can create this game for PvP gambling. But of course, the viability of creating such a game should still be considered and whether or not there is huge interest on it.

Vietnam's exports to its neighboring countries probably helped this growth. They are starting to take advantage of their fertile lands more and more, and are trying to export surplus agricultural products whenever there is an opportunity. I like the fact that they are focusing mainly on agriculture nowadays because it means they can support a lot of their neighbors pretty well with what they can offer and in turn, they receive these profits that can help further more projects. Hopefully this economic growth in the country translates to salary increase too, because economic growth with wage stagnation isn't really growth at all.

That's 2021 and early 2022 b1t that you're talking about. He usually was in the highlight reel doing clutches after clutches. I remember when s1mple, b1t, and Boombl4 made a lot of teams look like amateurs during their 2021 dominance. Those were the hey days of b1t that unfortunately I cannot see anymore. I guess the fault isn't only in b1t's inconsitency as of late. Electronic also has a part in their downfall plus the 5th man that struggled to find their tempo with the team. Sdy was great during his initial games with Navi, and the last minute replacement with npl just didn't really change anything to an already weak team. Hopefully npl makes up for his lackluster performance this 2023 though, for Navi to come back in the top 5 team like they just did in 2021.

Well that deportation was somewhat warranted after the breach on border entry rules imposed by Australia during that time. It was surely oversight on his part, but it would have been a different outcome if proper communication was done before he decides to take a flight towards the land down under. I don't think he holds any grudges against the Australian government, but I surely think he just wants to play these tournaments and showcase his talent to the world.


I'd take the risk and get that 2.10 odds right now because surely the odds will shift as the tournament progresses and this bet will lose its juice. Alcaraz is a beast on his own accord but yeah, he has been quite inactive after his injury in Paris. For sure he has recovered by now but that inactivity will surely take a hit on your reflexes and the way you perform.

Overall that's an L for Qatar short-term, but given that they have already created a lot of infrastructures in order to facilitate the World Cup, they can now use these amenities as a leverage for future events for them to host it and take some profit off of it. That $200 B may be too much of an investment for a one-time event that is not really profitable, but in the long run they can easily use what they built for tourism and a lot of other things. Plus, it puts them in the map for millions of people around the world. That alone is, IMO, worth the money they have invested in the said event.


Qatar has played its cards well by hosting FIFA, and it might just as well opened a lot of curious minds about the country. They used FIFA as a leverage for their long-term plans, and that is what's matters for that tiny country that has been receiving a lot of negativities in the past decade due to their alleged involvement with terrorist groups.

If you don't know how to keep your funds safe, then you're no better than the bank at all.

Bitcoin gives you the freedom to be your own bank. But if you yourself fail to keep your funds safe from outside sources, then you are an easy target for hackers that can sweep your money in a heartbeat. That's why people should really study bitcoin before they jump ship 100% and use bitcoin/crypto to keep their assets. This is what a lot of people overlook when they begin investing in bitcoins. They fail to realize that there is also a ton of work involved if you really want to keep your funds safe in your own safekeeping.

It also helps if you know what you really want to do with your money. There are lots of advantages in using a bank, but if you really want to be 'independent' from them, you are also foregoing these advantages for ensuring that you and you alone holds your funds. Better decide if it's worth it before making the switch.

Sportsbet.io.

I think this is the only crypto casino that covers these lines for M4. They cover a lot of games that are usually not covered by a lot of big bookies and they have been in business for over 5 years now. You'll also love their referral system and lots of bonuses that they have from time to time, especially on huge events in Football and NBA.

If your friend is from the Philippines, I'm pretty sure he knows some people that are agents on random sports betting sites. Those are okay-ish too but the mode of payment is thru GCash and not crypto.

I think it was like 2019 when the Clippers were hyped by the media and other NBA fans because that is the year Kawhi Leonard joined the team. Understandable because he already made a name for himself by joining the Spurs in 2011 and was like one of the hottest players during the 2016 - 2017 season. Unfortunately though, he cannot really carry the Clippers all by himself. Pair him up with Paul George, another dude who's really prone to injury and you'll really have some problems.


Maybe not just an LA thing. Kawhi and Paul George are both injury-prone throughout their whole career. Just think of them like glass cannons that are only good for a couple of games and then they have to take an extended rest in order to get back in shape unlike other players.

Magnus Carlsen kinda hinted that it's better to play online than OTB because the latter does not do any strict checks anymore unlike in online tournaments wherein they will thoroughly scan your computer and will ensure that you will not have anything to use that will aid you in cheating. It's not only him who voiced this concern but also other GMs playing at the highest level of chess. I remember Anish Giri once commented about how lax the security measures are in OTB chess compared to online tournaments.


That's a good question. Pretty sure they are allowed to drink supplements for memory enhancers at the least. Not sure about other drugs but IIRC microdosing of shrooms and ecstasy is being used by some elite businessmen to keep their mental alertness at its peak during their work hours, so maybe there's that.

Look at swogerino's comment above. It seems like the bonus was only sent to people who have wagered and crossed a certain threshold. The bonus is not for anyone, and even I haven't received anything in my email regarding this $40 bonus. Also, I'm not expecting anything from Stake anyway as I'm not that active on betting this past year.


Which is why I think what OP did is great, as he sought confirmation from other forum members if they have received the same bonus offering in the same manner as he did. Luckily, someone confirmed that Stake indeed offer these bonuses and that he's in the clear. With all the hacks and scams going around lately, it won't hurt to be a skeptic.

Level-headed man. He knows that Tank is going on through tough times and maybe he knows that the guy somewhat lost focus. By saying the things he said, he kinda pushed Tank to get serious and get back on track and settle this fight with a fair game for Hector Garcia. Garcia knows that he's the underdog in here and almost everyone and their mothers are on Davis's side on their bout, that's why he still wants to get in his head that there is a high possibility that he'll lose this one, and that he should think that his opponent is 100% ready for him no matter what albeit Davis's recent run-in with the law.

Hopefully Tank delivers a very solid performance and seal the deal against Hector Luis Garcia to advance against Stevenson or maybe Haney. But I like Stevenson to be his next opponent. There are some trash talks going on already and we just want to see some action for that.

Addiction is always a choice, and even if your environment facilitates the possible source of your addiction, you still have the choice on whether to give in or not. I've seen a lot of friends succumb to gambling addiction just because they are tempted on the prizes and haven't really thought of the consequences twice. Sure, you can blame all the booze for impairing your decision-making abilities, but at the end of the day the call will always be yours. I wholly agree to your statement that it is the gambler, not the game. Gambling houses will always try to lure you in and suck every last penny out of you, but if you know better you wouldn't fall prey to their tactics.

Self-control is a skill that not everyone can learn, especially when tempted with their desires and the things that make them go nuts. You can always gamble and enjoy, but the choice to sink deeper and deeper into it is also in your hands.

We're on the same boat man. It all started with Donovan Mitchell scoring his career-best and franchise record just a few days ago. Now everyone follows suit setting their new career records and getting some best for just this season alone. Perhaps it helps that it's just the regular season and nothing too fancy to worry about, but still they're playing at the highest level of basketball and they're making things look easy. Multiple games have been taken to overtime from double-digit score deficits, and what's crazy is that they make it seem like those leads are nothing but motivation just to get hyped and fired up.

Grayson Allen's 3-point shot made the difference that put the Raptor's push to OT a waste. That clutch play for him secured Bucks' win. Lots of games with these kinds of back-and-forth and catching leads but this one takes the cake for yesterday's game.

huNter- really popped off in the latter months of 2022, contributing to G2's BLAST Premier win. I guess that really made the difference: the Major win. If not for that I guess we might see huNter's ranking lower - but maybe not lower than b1t you're correct as I've checked the stats and huNter- really is better in terms of everything. Dude's AWPing in some rounds that they converted to a win really is something else that b1t can't really do for Na'Vi, and I think b1t is one of the weak links of Na'Vi right now that needs to step down or improve if he wants to make his presence worth Na'Vis while.

Personally I would, but knowing that the top chess players are very predictable when it comes to their circles, I wouldn't really risk it not until it's in the championship game. Magnus has already expressed his annoyance about GMs continuously using book moves just to win, and with them knowing a lot of these moves, progressions, and all that sort of stuff, it's just a matter of who really read the theories more and who has a lot more creativity in their positions.

In the lower elos, say 2400 - 2700, it might be possible to bet on those GMs but they're very unpredictable compared to the GMs in 2800+. As what Hikaru Nakamura once said in his streams, those in 2400 - 2700s are still playing "unrefined" chess and they can be very unpredictable, and are more prone to errors compared to the 'refined' GMs in 2800+.

Of course, this is only if we're talking about betting on professional chess players. But if I were the one to play chess against other enemies? Hell no. I can't even surpass 1800 in online chess even if they say that it's a relatively easy elo to get through


True. Playing for draws is what the current meta is for chess, as most grandmasters are very familiar with endgames and such that it's only a mix of creativity to play from whichever position. In blitz, these GMs need to think 4 or more moves ahead in order to keep up with the pace of the game, whereas in classic they can employ their own thought process as if they're solving a chess puzzle online, which results into good moves and better plays.

Hyundai is never known for high-performance cars. They have great hybrids for comfort and cars that have excellent fuel economy. Not really sure whether they can build and tune something for speed. Perhaps they already have a separate division for such cars but F1? Not so sure about that. They are competing in WRC too so there's that, but F1 is just another league. But yeah, more inclusivity and representation for the Asia region will be most welcome.


Here's to hoping that the 2026 season will bring back the V8s or even the V10 engines so that we could bring back those screaming monsters at the track. But we all know that it's just a dream long gone with all these regulations and calls to safety. Every team and manufacturer can surely bring a monster of a car if these restrictions are not imposed, but the FIA is looking to focus more on weight reduction for cars and not so much about power.


Red Bull can keep their lead for now. They literally have the best of everything that you could ask for in a team. Mercedes' reign is now over, but they still have a very powerful car that can still win races, though not so sure about constructors or drivers given that Hamilton seemed to have lost the grit he has before. Hopefully George Russell is a good fit that could motivate him again of his love on the sport.

They easily got gassed off and lost the momentum, but it's a great showing from the 76ers albeit missing 1 key player. Harden isn't as explosive as he is supposed to be even though he got enough rest. Luckily his team step up and contributed greatly to the team effort for them to win this game at home. Harris was definitely on fire that game making 10 rebounds and 19 points. They all did this without Embiid, what more if they had the guy?  


Lots of changes in the rules that made NBA what it is today. It's easier to score right now because the game isn't as hard physically as it was in the era of MJ, Ewing, Malone, etc. But if you have those same rules and the same physicality, for sure the three-pointers of today's league will be harassed and boxed extremely and they wouldn't be that comfortable shooting from the outside.


Took him some time because basketball is a team-play game. Sure he's one of the best players that this league has seen, but you can't expect one man to be inside the court for 30+ minutes full time every single game just to carry his teammates. Even MJ needed the help of Pippen for most of the grunt work before he was considered the greatest to play the game. Lebron just needed solid teammates like what Curry found with Klay and he'll get those rings too.

Should have taken that Lakers' line during the live bets. I think at some point it reached 1.8 odds for Lakers -2.5 and that would have been a hit. Totally missed that line and ignored it because I was so invested in the 76ers pick expecting them to cover but nah, they really had to do me like that.

---

Magic didn't fail me even though I haven't got the time to watch them earlier. Everyone on the team gave some effort to the win, pushing them with a 7-point lead in the end. Very impressed with Wendell Carter Jr. getting 13 rebounds and watching the replay makes me want to bet more in this team.

Currently eyeing on Magic +6.5 at home to take on Grizzlies. The latter is currently building up a good 4-win streak and I can see them continuing the lead. However it's hard to discredit Magic's home performance and they'd surely try to close the gap as much as possible. This is not a lock just yet and I'm still waiting for some good tips and some good analysis (and of course, injury reports) before finalizing this bet.

People intoxicated with alcohol tend to have lower self-control and can easily be persuaded by the people around them to do stupid stuff. Hence why you see why booze and other alcoholic drinks are readily available in casinos. That is for people to do the wrong decisions and continue losing money in the casino.

If you are drinking alcohol and have drunk one too many, you'll understand that everything goes simply past you and you won't even care that much about what you're going to say or what you're going to do unless it will put you in harm's way.


I've never been swooned by beautiful casino staff at all in my 5 years of gambling and visiting these places. Sure they are nice to look at, but they don't really give that much of a persuading appeal to me to continue playing.

Will be tailing your 76ers and Magic pick, and would go bet live with Cavs. Favorite picks with some value in them, but still difficult to go into a parlay since I'm not so sure about Magic making that huge of a lead against OKC who seems to be on fire on their last game. The Raptors is also a pretty solid pick for me but I'll just minimize my bets because I lost all games yesterday

Hopefully no last minute injury reports because I'm unavailable to change my bet 2 hours before the game starts!
