I can't say that I'm an expert on the situation in Africa, but as a casual observer of what has been happening in South Africa as well as the rest of the continent, it seems like they have turned their back on the West only to jump in bed with China. China is scooping up land and handing out loans like their future depends on it, and maybe it does. The sad part is that I've been reading many cases where these loans have already gone bad, leading China to seemingly take advantage of Africa in order to collect more land. Basically giving loans they know won't be paid back in order to take ownership of collateral.

My buddy needed a ride home from the casino at 3am last night. Kept me up much longer than I would have liked. They lost $800 and got too drunk to get home. LOL. I have no idea whey someone would engage in pumping $800 into a slot machine that late at night but I assume that boredom has to play a role. Maybe for those who are finding themselves gambling more than they would like or losing money on slot machines regularly, what you need is a more interesting or fun hobby to take up your time instead of losing money hoping to see pretty lights and hear fancy noises.

I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.
I'm not. I actually don't recall ever seeing a gambling ad on youtube. Maybe it is a result of your location? Here in the United States, maybe online gambling isn't quite as accepted as in other places so maybe they don't allow gambling ads for those in this jurisdiction yet? The ads I get are typically for large companies or small content creators trying to grow their audience. I am curious if you are outside the US and where exactly you are that you are being fed these types of advertisements. It also could be the result of you actually using online gambling platforms from your current location. I tend to take gambling trips when I engage in this behavior so maybe I'm just not identified by youtube as a gambler. |

So, I took a look at the gambling section and saw a thread that is based on an OP that is simply false. What is told in it does not stand up to the slightest rational analysis.
I would like to detail it and I have been hesitating where to do it. I have thought about the Reputation section but it would seem too tough against the person who makes up the story I think and I've been known to be aggressive enough lately. I have also thought to call it BS in the same thread but the comment would be lost on the umpteenth page and people would keep spamming the thread no matter what.
Then I have also thought of doing it in Meta, as it is a meta-reflection on that thread the analysis I plan to do, but here I'm sure someone will tell me the typical thing that I should just report the thread, but I don't want to just report it but analyze it and see what the other forum members think.
What do you think?
I guess my question is... Who cares? Most of the nonsense on this forum spouted by some of the highest rated DT members is total made up nonsense. Of course random sig spam threads are going to be full of word vomit. I guess for me to even have the slightest care about this occurring, I would need to know why it matters. Is there a victim? Are lies being told that damage the reputation of another person or entity? If so, then what we have isn't making up stories, but libel being committed by someone and that shouldn't be tolerated (but is tolerated here at the highest level under the guise of free speech as a result of laziness and not wanting to handle things like an Anarchist or Libertarian but instead directing people to the police). So again, who cares? Who is the victim here? |

Heat pull-off to kick-out Celtics and reach NBA finals, while Denver is probably most happier with this, and they are pretty close to first title
didn't even considered possibility for Heat to win game 7, but they won it with style, and Celtics didn't show anything, pity they won three in a row, and made things interesting, while not being able to make game 7 interesting to watch
onwards to finals, could be a sweep, but no more than 6 matches, IMO, Denver to title
It could be a tough match-up for the Denver, Bam vs Jokic will be the one that I want to see. And then we have the trio of undrafted players in Caleb Martin, Mas Struss and Gabe Vincent maybe playing Jamay Murray. I don't see a sweep though, Denver might win their first NBA title, but it might be 4-2. And I think majority see Denver winning? I definitely see Denver winning. Bam has his work cut out for him with Jokic and I think it will be a good example of solid fundamentals versus freak athleticism. The difference to me between Denver and all the other teams in the league is MPJ and Ben Gordon on the wings. They’re both so athletic and can shoot the ball, it’s almost unfair that they are both on the same team. |

A nice attempt at a bull run over the weekend but couldn’t get us back to $30K. It does seem like the pressure building is on the buy side though. I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw another jump up this week. The market seems to have decided the bottom is in the rear view. With mtgox making more progress towards distribution, the hurdles are becoming few and further between.

I don’t think we need to be advocating violence, but it does seem like someone should be doing something. In the United States I think the way forward with something like this would be to take him to small claims court. It would be a pain in the ass and I think you could only recover $500 per victim, but if France had something similar and we had a Frenchman here who was willing to waste some of their time to be an annoyance to Yogg, I think that wouldn’t be a bad way to move forward.

Well, that wasn’t the game I was hoping to watch but now we can look towards the Finals. You always hope a game 7 is going to be close but the Celtics just weren’t having it yesterday. The Heat got it done and now they have the Denver Nuggets to deal with. I personally think Denver will win this series easily, but I didn’t think Miami would get this far.

I was just reading about Miami being 0-10 when being officiated by this referee team. So tonight Miami is trying to stop Boston from making history while trying to win their first game with this officiating crew. Between that, Boston wanting to make history, and being in Boston at the Garden with this officiating crew, it seem like the Heat have a lot stacked against them.

I wouldn't have a problem betting against a team I was a fan of if the odds warranted it. I don't think it's a sin or anything. That being said, I do think that betting on the team you WANT to win instead of the team you THINK will win has it's own advantages. It adds a little extra enjoyment when your team wins, and gives you skin in the game to cheer for your team. So I guess it depends if you're in it for entertainment or to make money. I personally gamble for entertainment, but I can see the benefit of betting against your team and taking the approach that you win no matter what happens.

This is the first time I've been introduced to Flush as a crypto casino. It took me a minute to realize that the name was meant as a play on card games. Upon my originally seeing it and digesting the name, I thought it was a joke to mean that you flush your money down the toilet when you play there. LOL. I guess you can interpret it however you want, but it still seemed like an interesting name choice to me. Certainly the owners of this site have to be aware of the irony in choosing that name for an online casino...

Anyway, we have to get over that and just see if the Miami Heat could turn the tides in TD Garden. I believe Jimmy Butler should play like how he was in that last quarter of Game 6. Aggressive, attack the paint, try to get some foul as early as he can, and corner the Celtics by putting them in foul trouble. That is where he is good at so he better be in a position where he will get most of his score from the stripe. Boston Celtics versus Miami Heat - Miami Heat MLOver 201.5Good luck guys and enjoy the game later.  They could talk about it and all, but the thing is, they already lost the game and there is nothing they could do as I think it was already agreed before they even moved the clock as it will be a big misunderstanding it they will just move it without consulting somebody about it. So anyway, this will be a do or die game for the both teams and honestly, I definitely did not expect that Game 7 will be much needed in this series especially after the Heat had a 3-0 lead but they blew their chance of, and here they are, fighting for their survival. For my bet, I will be leaning on the Miami Heat @ 3.60 to win the game and I'll be adding some little handicap of Heat +6.5 @ 2.12, just in-case it will be needed. I think those are good bets. While playing in Boston has it's advantages for the Celtics and they were already favored to win the series, the odds are just not very exciting to bet the Celtics to win. So while I think that the Celtics will probably win tonight and advance to the Finals, the smart bet still seems like the one you're making above. I also like that you get your money back so long as it's a close game even if the Heat loses. You just have to watch out for the Celtics getting an early lead and then the Heat throwing away their chances by missing threes and letting the Celtics turn the game into a blowout. |

A great day for basketball indeed. We have a holiday here in the US and a chance to see the Boston Celtics be the first team to come back from being down 0-3 in the playoffs while on their home floor. Amazing. Almost scripted… Which if you saw the referee’s reaction to Jimmy Butler taking the lead last game you might start to suspect shenanigans.

That was a great ending last night. It looked like the Celtics were going to win easily but Jimmy Butler willed the Heat back into the game down the stretch with some heroics. That only led to the last second buzzer beater by the Celtics to win it. I think that was the best possible outcome. Now the Celtics get a chance to make history on their way to the Finals. Game 7 is going to be awesome.

I'm praying the threes would hit once more for the Celtics because if they're going to win, it's likely due to the number of threes they've been consistently landing. The game later today would be the second-best chance for the Heat to close out the series, but I have to ride with the Celtics because this is possibly the last hurdle for them to steal the series away from them. Also, we might see Gabe Vincent play because the Heat has to go all out and treat this like it's their elimination game.  Boston is going to go into Miami and get spanked I think. Vincent should be back tonight, and Butler will look to perform for the home crowd. I will be looking to give some points and take the Heat tonight. Gotta see who has what on the lines tonight. If the Heat are going to make it to the Finals, it's going to have to happen tonight. That's how I feel. If they let the Celtics go back home for Game 7 after winning 3 straight, it's a wrap... We need to see Bam hold down the paint and lead both teams in rebounds, and we need to see Jimmy Butler outplay Jayson Tatum. We may also need to see some surprising play from Kyle Lowry or Kevin Love if the Heat want to finish off Boston. I think both teams give it everything they have tonight and it should be a fun watch. I don't have any money on this one, but I'm excited to see it. If I were gambling, I would have to take whoever has the best odds as I think this one could go either way. |

I have a hard time believing this story to be true, but maybe it is... As the son, I would probably be trying to get emancipated or just run away with the winnings. While I'm not totally familiar with their situation, I assume that is a life changing amount of money. I can understand him not wanting his father's beliefs to damage his personal life experience. I'm still not so sure how real this story is though. It seems that people sticking to their beliefs when confronted with life changing sums of money is rare and not something I typically run across.

I had to check mine to see what it said on it as I was certain they came directly from Mick. Below is the image I just captured with my phone (iPhone pics getting better these days). Anybody who wants to make me an insanely high offer that makes absolutely no sense for it, feel free.   I didn’t even know these had a year on them until I saw this thread but I can confirm the authentic version does say 2012. |

Interesting one to watch for sure. I’ll have to try and remember to see the final sales price. It seems to currently be starting with the BTC value. At the current exchange rate, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this coin sell for as much as $400,000. That’s around where I’d become an interested seller if I was looking to sell this coin.

Which problem do we solve:
It's challenging to find a marketing partner with deep expertise in Web3.
I don’t know if that’s necessarily true. Every time I tweet on the subject of web3 I get a hundred messages in my inbox from people claiming to be just that and offering a similar service. Do you have any client success stories you can share or examples of a campaign you’ve put on? 100,000 new clients per month seems like a pretty bold claim. |

Guns don't kill people, but a T-shirt will make you trans.  Don’t worry. I’m sure you’ll still be able to buy your tuckwear online. This mental illness is spreading. Not giving your money to enablers isn’t a bad thing. Mentally ill parents are literally cutting off the breasts and penises of children so they can be “celebrated” by corporations like this. It’s sick in my opinion and isn’t about t-shirts, it’s about giving impressionable kids a way to feel accepted by sterilizing themselves. |
