Crap, crap, crap.
Lost all three bets.
I was rooting for Yair Rodriguez to knock out Volk but what happened is the other way around.  Grin

Here are the results of the UFC 290.
Alexander Volkanovski versus Yair Rodriguez - Volkanovski won thru TKO/KO
Brandon Moreno versus Alexandre Pantoja - Pantoja won by decision.
Robert Whittaker versus Dricus Du Plessis - Whittaker won by KO/TKO in Round 2.

I hate losing but damn that's some powerful performance from Volk. The strategy was simple, put down Yair and let the fight be taken on the mat with Volk above him. It's a very simple plan and yet a hard task on how he could prevent Yair from standing again. He definitely dominated Yair there.
Obviously, there's still a lot of room for improvement for Yair, especially on those takedown defenses and how he could defend himself once someone is above him.
It's a loss but so entertaining. Congratulations to those who bet for Volk.

What I see in the Main Event was a great fight for Volkanovski he have shown a simple technique but it was very effective against Yair Rodriguez you can say that Volk outsmart Rodriguez in this one, but for sure he has done a great job in making a win but Alexander Volkanovski was way ahead of him,

No on the Co-Main Event, it was really a controversial one one judge just ruins it all, giving all to Pantoja, but it was a close match indeed and I think this needs to be seen through and makes an effort to check what really happen, I may bet for Alexandre Pantoja but seeing the fight it should be checked,



Alexander Volkanovski vs Yair Rodriguez - LOST

Man! what a fight I really thought that Yair Rodriguez's height may come in handy with his wrestling and takedown defense but I never expected Volkanovski to throw Rodriguez to the ground and move him near the cage to pin Yair down, and Volkanovski is so much for Yair Rodriguez he surely doesn't know what he is going to do with Volkanovski, on this fight, well, after this fight what is next for Volkonovski, maybe an Ilia Topuria fight, perhaps for me that is a great fight to behold and we can see who had the better boxing, for me I am really excited just thinking of it,

Brandon Moreno VS Alexandre Pantoja - WIN

A close match for sure for me I have seen a controversial decision fight for this one, but I can not say that Brandon Moreno won the fight or Pantoja won it aswell, all I say is this fight needs to be accessible, and needs further investigation, it was a very close fight that I even give a draw for a result, and that is how I can surely say that this fight is super close, for sure,

Robert Whittaker VS Dricus Du Plessis - LOST

For me, Dricus Du Plessis really deserves a title shot next after defeating Robert Whittaker one of the best fighters in the Middleweight and surely Du Plessis one of the hardworking fighters for me after this fight Israel Adesanya needs to take precautions for sure because Dricus Du Plessis is not going to be an easy task for him a dude that will surely open up about his opponent opening and secrets and using that knowledge at his disposal what a shock that we have this kind of a dude in the UFC but he has done a great job in defeating the gatekeeper,

The Bookies might have canceled or removed the 2 games, or maybe they will add them later,

But here are my bet and just like owengtam09 I will also go with those teams that he picked

Indiana Fever VS Dallas Wings

The Indiana Fever is having a game against the Dallas Wings at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, right now the Indiana Fever doesn't have any injuries while the Dallas Wings Key injuries are Lou Lopez Senechal's (knee), Diamond DeShields (knee), and both can not play for the Dallas Wings Kalani Brown (concussion) and is questionable if she is able to play for the Dallas Wings, for this game I really think that the Dallas Wings will have some advantage for this game even though there are no injuries for the Fever, so my pick is the Dallas Wings,

Minnesota Lynx VS Las Vegas Aces

The Minnesota Lynx is having a game against the Las Vegas Aces at Target Center, right now the key injuries for the Minnesota Lynx are Natalie Achonwa (personal), Aerial Powers (ankle), Jessica Shepard (illness), and Tiffany Mitchell (Wrist) and they can not play for the Minnesota Lynx while key injury for the Las Vegas Aces is Riquna Williams (back) and can not play for the Las Vegas Aces, this will be a hard game for the Minnesota Lynx but if the Dallas Wings have made a win maybe the Minnesota Lynx could aswell, but for me just to be safe my pick is the Las Vegas Aces,

Chicago Sky VS Atlanta Dream

The Chicago Sky is having a game against the Atlanta Dream at Wintrust Arena, right now the key injuries for the Chicago Sky are Ruthy Hebard (personal), Isabelle Harrison (knee), and Rebekah Gardner (foot) and all can not play for the Chicago Sky while Iliana Rupert (suspended), and Aari McDonald (shoulder) and both can not play for the Atlanta Dream, for this game I don't have any trust for the Chicago Sky right now they are always taking a big L and losing most of my bet on them, so for this game I will be betting for the Atlanta Dream,

At first I thought the Mercedes were going to do better than the Ferrari cars on this track but from I have seen so far in the practice 1,2 I have changed my mind.
Sainz is looking comfortable on this track so I can see him and Leclerc grabbing a possible podium in this race instead of Hamilton or even Russell.
Was thinking Norris with his new upgraded Mclaren were going to blow everybody out of the water. But alas, it wasn't ment to be and the chrome just didn't shine in the bright british sun this weekend thus far.
Am watching the last and final practice 3 and it seems to be the all the same as yesterday.
Nothing has changed much if any in this run from last night.

I agree Carlos Sainz is looking comfortable on this track for sure, But Charles Leclerc is looking much more comfortable now and even when the rain had poured down there is no one that could match his speed on this track I think it was a good call for him to call it out and take the remaining slick floor on turn 18 to 19 before changing tires just to lead the track before the rain pour for once this is Charles Leclerc good decision that landed him the 1st position on Practice 3 for me even Max Verstappen had a hard time just getting the position 8 for this Circuit while Sergio Perez again couldn't be seen near the position  10 again, but this is just Practice 3 because, on the Qualifying rounds, it is all become different

BRITISH GRAND PRIX 2023 - QUALIFYING RESULTS

In this qualifying, Lewis Hamilton lost grip on that Slippery turn and his car spins out of the track and into the gravel he still manages to get back on track while Max Verstappen damage his front wing on the pit while dumping on the wall but it was repaired by the pit crew fast and he had returned to the track in good condition but because of this everyone have managed to finish Q1 Alexander Albon on the top Valtteri Zhou Guanyu, and Lando Norris is looking great clearing Q1 Williams Alex Albon is flying along with Lando Norris but still Max Verstappen has managed to land again in the 1st position getting back the time that he lost, but surely McLaren have proven here that they have improved not only the Livery but their performance aswell because the 2 McLaren had done a great job in the Qualifying,

Drivers OUT Entering Q2

Valtteri Bottas
Sergio Perez
Yuki Tsunoda
Zhou Guanyu
Nyck De Vries
Kevin Magnussen

Drivers OUT Entering Q3

Nico Hulkenberg
Lance Stroll
Esteban Ocon
Logan Sargeant

10th Drivers in QUALIFYING POSITION

01) Max Verstappen
02) Lando Norris
03) Oscar Piastri
04) Charles Leclerc
05) Carlos Sainz
06) George Russell
07) Lewis Hamilton

09) Fernando Alonso

There were somethings to take note after the weigh-ins happened last night:
Jack Della Maddalena vs Josiah Harrell has been cancelled due to the former having a test and he is not fit to fight:
https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id/37975720/newcomer-josiah-harrell-ufc-290-brain-disease

Edgar Chairez who was a replacement fighter for Tatsuro Taira made catch weight so his result for the weigh-ins passed.

Jalin Turner missed weight by two pounds during the weigh-ins. Fight will commence as scheduled.

Nice one sharing it so that everyone will know that there are canceled fights right now, and they will avoid betting on those fights it is just too bad for Jack Della Maddalena after his first cancellation against Sean Brady now his replaced opponent now had a medical issue can his fight is totally canceled now, it was a bad take for Jack Della Maddalena, Tatsuro Taira is now good that his opponent Jalin Turner is good to go, this is a good share for sure

Now my picks for the UFC 290 and I think I will go with most of the underdogs

Alexander Volkanovski vs Yair Rodriguez

This is going to be a close fight for sure Alexander Volkanovski is a technical fighter, but so is Yair Rodriguez, well we all know that Alexander Volkanovski will win this on paper if you would look on paper it is likely Volk to win but for me, this is going to be a close match and like everyone said if whoever made a mistake then he will likely have a disadvantage, and Alexander Volkanovski also said that Yair Rodriguez surely is dangerous that kicks and unpredictable moves but he will be prepared for Yair Rodriguez and so I think we can see an upset here so my pick is Yair Rodriguez,

Brandon Moreno vs Alexandre Pantoja

These two have fought 2 times, now and Alexandre Pantoja pretty much has an epic history over Brandon Moreno, while for me I think this will be a very close match for sure both of these guys sure are well-rounded and I think the UFC really wants a great fight and I think this is a great fight to watch for sure and this fight will be an epic one and for me risking it on the underdog, for sure there could be a great performance that may happen and I can surely feel it, but I am going with the Underdog and my pick is Alexandre Pantoja

Robert Whittaker vs Dricus Du Plessis

Now for these fights, Robert Whittaker is a masterful class boxer, for sure this could be a great fight to watch while Dricus Du Plessis is a brawler for me his strength on his striking is massive, and surely Du Plessis hit like a truck I hit from it and goodbye to Whittaker and Robert Whittaker doesn't have a good chin that could withstand the punch of Du Plessis but what Whittaker had that got him the odd advantage was his speed and fight IQ, he could outspeed the guy with a barrage of punches and the technicality on this strikes surely in a Whittaker fashion, with a good takedown defense because Dricus is a wrestler aswell and could take the fight to the ground, but for me my pick for this fight is Robert Whittaker,

That's true, there will be a potential deduction in their DPC points and that means that last slot if Quest reaches the top 2 then they'll replace them. But if Quest ends early and not reaching the top 2, by luck then it shall go with Execration. Speaking of Team Liquid, they're now in the lower bracket after being beaten by Tundra without saksa and subbed by their coach aui_2000. And funnily speaking, this match was supposed to be for BetBoom and not with Tundra.

Quest have a chance to get an invitation for TI this year but they were blocked by the gatekeepers, Team Liquid. They have a good chance to win the series. They forced a third map, the only third map in today's matches, but Team Liquid's experience overcome the young Quest Esports. They still have a chance on the regional qualifiers, and looking at how good they are playing lately, they have a good chance they can still qualify for TI. There are two slots coming from WEU so they have a high chance they can still qualify.

In regards to TI slot of Betboom, they are confirmed to directly qualify for TI this year. Since Quest lost to Team Liquid, they cannot overtake betboom anymore. Despite the controversy that happened, it is good that Betboom was still able to get a direct invite. Execration lacks DPC points to overtake and take the slot from Betboom.



Team Liquid will have a rematch against Tundra tomorrow for the lower bracket finals. After disposing of Quest earlier, Team Liquid will have a rematch against Tundra tomorrow. Tundra was able to beat Team Liquid, 2-0, yesterday in the upper bracket. Team Liquid will get a chance to return the favor tomorrow on the final day of Bali Major. Gaimin Gladiators are already waiting in the finals. Speaking of GG, I think they have been in the finals in all the majors this year. This just shows how dominant they are.

Actually, I got my post on the Rev thread and forgot to post it here, well maybe thinking that I already did post it in this thread but It was a real win for the Connecticut Sun indeed, and it was a dominant win the 1st quarter was a solid performance for the Sun and pretty much have shown their true dominance on that game 29 to 6 was pretty much a large lead,

well here are the result of my bets for the games today I manage to sneak a bet but I haven't made any post here in the thread,

Washington Mystics vs Indiana Fever, - WIN

It was really a dominant game for the Mystics they got a great game by taking the lead in the 1st half the Indiana Fever have done all they could but to no avail they can not penetrate the defense and make a lead to the Mystics, Kelsey Mitchell got it with 18 points, NaLyssa Smith has gotten 19 points for this game and Lexie Hull have taken the lead for this game with 20 points

Minnesota Lynx vs Phoenix Mercury - WIN

From the Start of the game, the Minnesota Lynx are surely dominant, and the lead kept on increasing until the 2nd half when the Phoenix Mercury suddenly got the momentum but the Lynx didn't let that happen, and even though Michaela Onyenwe got the lead for the team it was not enough with the given spread of the Minnesota Lynx and Napheesa Collier double-double and lead make the team secure a win,


327  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: F1 Formula Sports Racing - Sportsbet.io promotions & discussion thread on: July 07, 2023, 08:38:51 PM
I think he is just feeling the "2nd" driver and they have the same car with Max but why is Max always first? Like what is the difference? I think that's just how the pressure is coming at him. At least he has come back with the right competitive phase. It's all about staying competitive and being strong. Do you think they are something alike with Ricciardo before? When he is the 2nd driver in RB?

It is likely that the pressure is truly eating Sergio Perez, and this podium win will likely return his eagerness to win again or return to his old self or there might be another thing going on why he keeps on losing his pace, well looking at the Monaco GP where I think Sergio Perez starts his decrease in performance, in the 2022 season Sergio Perez won the race while Max Verstappen was on the 3rd position while the Spanish GP Perez was on the 2nd position while Max Verstappen was the winner, and lastly, the Canadian Grand Prix, where Checo didn't finish the race and was out because of Machine problem but surely it wasn't the right thing that happen why Sergio Perez has this kind of poorperformance, and surely the pressure is going through,


It was so sudden and at only 18 years old on the Belgium track, I think that Corner was what they call Eau Rouge correct me if I am wrong, and this is a famous track where if a driver is new in driving towards it you can have an uneasy feeling on it,



Looking at this sudden fatal accident of Dilano Van't Hoff I likely see this as the same crash for Anthoine Hubert an F1 driver that Juan Manuel Correa have run over and crashed on the same corner the Eau Rouge as I really don't know if that is the correct corner but it has cost lives I think that Uphill corner needs to change the uphill where the driver can not see where they are going is likely causing some accident and now that the F1 race will commence on Belgium on July 28-30, the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps Circuit needs to investigate and change the Uphill because certain drivers feel surprised with that certain Corner, as Drivers will be launched like rockets as the are going uphill, it was likely a dangerous Corner that needs to go away,

You should give it a try with an acca bet for Wimbledon instead of only singles.
I had five selections with low odds and it pushed it to 4.00x easily at the beginning of the tournament.
Getting four consecutive correct betslips will get you the $20usdt freebet at the very least.
I tried your advice but instead of taking the low favorites, I went for their handicaps and they all covered. Grin

I had little hope for my tennis parlay at the start, so I didn't place a good enough amount, but i'm still happy that I got the win since I rarely win parlays with three legs or more.



I think sometimes the great advice will be to just enjoy the game and bet that getting that pressure and thinking about just winning your bet, but it is good that you already start your parley that is a good sign and because of that I have bet on the 1 game that the WNBA has now,

Here is my bet for today's game,

Connecticut Sun vs Seattle Storm

This game will Commence at the Mohegan Sun Arena home for the Connecticut Sun, and right now the key injuries for the Connecticut Sun are Brionna Jones (achilles) can not play for the Connecticut Sun and DiJonai Carrington (illness) is questionable if she can play for the Connecticut Sun, While the Seattle Storm doesn't have any injuries at all, but for this game even though the Connecticut Sun does have injuries they still have a pretty much nefty roster that could likely win in this game, so my pick is the Connecticut Sun,

329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - Sportsbet.io discussion thread on: July 06, 2023, 05:35:55 PM
I was wondering who would be their substitute and i'm surprised that Resolution was there in the venue. Unfortunately, it's still not enough and I guess they're caught off guard as it all happened way too fast.

If I was not mistaken, I saw Resolution in the panel few days earlier, so I was not surprised Betboom took him as a substitute. But as good as Reso is, he cannot adjust that quickly to how Betboom plays. It is just a shame Pure has to do that. They'll win anyway against Tundra even without sniping. They have the momentum in this tournament to make it to the finals.

Now it's out of their reach and they have to root for 9Pandas to deny Team Aster the 300 DPC points they need. That final spot will depend on who wins today's last lower-bracket match currently, it's 1-1 after Team Aster failed to pull off the comeback in game 2.

9Pandas denied team Aster the 300 DPC points today. Miero was almost perfect with his jumps on his enigma (2nd map) and Axe (3rd map). Miero was always on point on his berseker's call, always catching 2 core heroes of Aster. He was also the reason they won on the second map with enigma, catching core heroes with blackhole. Ramzes was a monster in the 3rd map, and no one could touch him.

But I do not know how that will help Betboom to get to TI. Can you clarify?

My Bet for the WNBA games today

Minnesota Lynx vs Indiana Fever

The Minnesota Lynx is having a game against Indiana Fever at the Target Center, Minnesota Lynx's key injuries are Natalie Achonwa (personal), Aerial Powers (ankle), Jessica Shepard (illness), and Tiffany Mitchell (wrist), and are all out and can not play for the Minnesota Lynx while the key injuries for the Indiana Fever are non, because they don't have any injuries but on a likely last game the Lynx is pretty much great in terms of their winnings so my take on this game I will be betting for the Minnesota Lynx,

Los Angeles Sparks vs Atlanta Dream

The Los Angeles Sparks is having a game against the Atlanta Dream at the Crypto.com Arena, L.A. Sparks Key injuries are Katie Lou Samuelson (personal) who is out of the season, Layshia Clarendon (foot), Nia Clouden (knee), Lexie Brown (illness), Chiney Ogwumike (foot), and Jordin Canada (shoulder)  and all can not play for the L.A. Sparks for this game while the Atlanta Dream key injuries are Iliana Rupert (suspended) and Aari McDonald (shoulder) and both girls are out and can not play for the Atlanta Dream, for this game the injuries for the Sparks are really worst they also got great players that can not play right now so my take on this game I will be betting for the Atlanta Dream ,

It's a good prize boost for those who usually take the underdogs but i'll skip the challenge since most of my tennis bets are below 2.00 and the best I can do is probably two in a row if I were to participate in the challenge.  Tongue

Will Serbia take the crown again or will it be another guy? They are really good in sports just like Jokic of the NBA.
I think I will stick with the men's singles for now as I don't know much about the women's division. Good luck with your bets.
He's the only one who can stop Alcaraz IMO so hopefully, he wins it all again.



I really think this is the good promotion that Sportsbet has ever offered and for the fans of Tennis games this is a good start to claim your free bets, as I am posting this the Men singles and women's singles are currently on their way, and commencing right now I think if you snuck a good bet on the 2.00 and above odds that likely have a chance of winning because I see a lot of it, there are certain play that the Odds for the 2.00 wins in the end,

And if you would look at the leader board the higher winning streak is 4 I really think it is not a bad try since this is a great promotion for Wimbledon, well this is the terms and conditions if you ever change your mind

Red Bull are too strong and we are seeing one of biggest dominations in history of sport. I hope someone will catch up or people will stop watching it cause it's getting boring.

Max Verstappen is the number 1 driver, while RB19 is the number 1 machine put them together you can say it is a dominant force, for some that are bored with the F1 race, they should protest to take the mechanic thing that could upgrade their f1 machine in every team, well for F1 to not be boring all driver should drive an RB19,


2023 Austrian Grand Prix Race Highlights

Here are the video highlights of the race, (if you click the highlighted words) Charles Leclerc is really aggressive at the start of the race taking the lead to Max Verstappen while Nico Hulkenberg is not looking good with a smoke in his F1 machine-led to him retiring the race, while Sergio Perez is looking great in this race for sure, while Nyck De Vries got a penalty by sending Kevin Magnussen into the gravel, and in the lap, 59 Sergio Perez and Carlos Sainz had a great battle for the 3rd position, it was a neck to neck race battle, so it was another Red Bull domination for the Austria GP,

POS 01 Max Verstappen
POS 02 Charles Leclerc
POS 03 Sergio Perez
POS 04 Carlos Sainz
POS 05 Lando Norris
POS 06 Fernando Alonso
POS 07 Lewis Hamilton
POS 08 George Russell
POS 09 Pierre Gasly
POS 10 Lance Stroll
POS 11 Alexander Albon
POS 12 Esteban Ocon
POS 13 Logan Sargeant
POS 14 Zhou Guanyu
POS 15 Nyck De Vries
POS 16 Valtteri Bottas
POS 17 Oscar Piastri
POS 18 Yuki Tsunoda
POS 19 Kevin Magnussen
POS 20 Nico Hulkenberg
 

Surprised about Sergio Perez making it to the podium again for sure he needs to improve so much that he is getting pressured, for sure he doesn't need to be pressured and relax even though his team would say for him to be relaxed it is the pressure that is likely keeps him from performing good, he should stay focus in every race he will participate, for me Carlos Sainz has battle toe to toe with Sergio Perez for the 3rd position, and Charles Leclerc is 2nd in the podium I really think that Charles Leclerc needs a little push but for him to overtake Max Verstappen he would need the will and determination to never give up,

333  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: DISCUSSION-How hard is it to beat a sportsbook? on: July 03, 2023, 07:40:02 PM
Hi guys,
I just want to start a discussion here regarding the topic how hard is it to beat sportsbook.
As a sucessfull bettor for over a decade, I want to state that nowadays it's much harder than in past decade. The whole market changed, majority of sportsbooks became "soft" with low limits and quick limiting of account.
Opening new accounts has neven been harder as KYC are harder than before+everyone lacks normal wallets for such work. In past we had Skrill and Neteller while now those are not an option.

It is not soft but they become even harder in my opinion KYC is additional security, and prevents younger adults to play with gambling, and you can not compare online gambling back then and now because there are a lot of differences right now or you can not compare the casino's with online casino's because it is a very different thing if you don't like KYC then don't get into a certain gambling site that has one, gambling sites are now creating security measure for our money to be safe I think at least we could say is thank you,

For all of you who will write "crypto", its not an option at all. Firstly lot of good bookmakers don't accept crypto and all crypto bookmaker which I have stumbled upon by now have proven to be a scam. If they suspect even a little, without any proof, they will close account and you can go on court for them forever.

It is your choice if you want to use crypto or not used crypto in playing casino and sports bets, for me, I choose betting sites that accept crypto, or it is a good thing to pay or make a tip with Crypto, that will be an easy transaction and to not convert at all,


I have tried everything in betting world and for the first time in over 15 years I believe that it's time to change profession. I am still making really nice figures but with way more effort and dificulties than before.
Reason for this post is that I want to hear experiences from other bettors and maybe we can help each other with advices

Gambling is not a profession, at least it is not a long term thing, but just a short term only because eventually you will change it just like what you are saying right now, well it always good to have a regular job than making gambling as a source of profit because it can not work like that,

334  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 WNBA Discussion and Betting on: July 03, 2023, 06:30:15 PM

I lost all my bets sorry.
I said it was risky, but that's okay, I didn't lose a lot of money.
I hope we make up for it in future games.
NBA Summer league starts tomorrow night.

Sorry to hear that but it surely happens we thought that we are very lucky that we will be winning for this day but after the game it all blow up in front of us, surely we don't like to see that but it surely is happening well the risk is surely high even the high and mighty Las Vegas Aces has lost to the Connecticut Sun at some point, so we can not be so sure on the outcome if the game ends,

Well eventually I really think you can bounce back in the future and the next game will be on July 06,


I Missed all 4 games aswell I thought I will make a bet for the last game the Seattle Storm VS New York Liberty the Liberty dominated the game against the Storm Jewell Loyd was amazing but alone she can not prevent their loss even though she leads the scoring for this game with 27 points, the teamwork of the New York Liberty is just unbearable for the Storm Sabrina Ionescu got 13 points, Courtney Vandersloot has a double-double of 13 assists and 18 points, and Breanna Stewart got 20 points, it was a great game for the Liberty, and if I made a bet it was an easy win bet for them, even the 1st quarter bet will make a win, but sad to say I missed the game,

We will not be having our game tomorrow the games resume on July 06, for the WNBA,



I missed all the games aswell and I also thought that it will be late this time but it was also an early game which is why I haven't made any bets at all, well with the games yesterday the Dallas Wings won against the Washington Mystics at 1st it was for the Mystics but going into the 2nd quarter the game shifted to for the Dallas Wings, with Satou Sabally leading performance for the Wings with a double-double of 15 rebounds and 27 points, Atlanta Dream against the Los Angeles Sparks it was a heavy performance for the Dream it was dominating game for them from start to finish, with Rhyne Howards lead performance of 43 points, Indiana Fever have played against the Chicago Sky that the Chicago Sky keep their close lead from the Fever, and Courtney Williams lead the game with 28 points, and lastly Seattle Storm against the New York Liberty, the Liberty pretty much dominated the game from start to finish even though Jewell Loyd lead the game with 27 points the New York Liberty still win the game,

335  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 03, 2023, 05:19:19 PM
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?


For sure the minimum age that you can gamble is 18, but the legal age to gamble for most countries are in the age of 21, and this 21 age was the one that is typically in the state of law, but I think this only applies with face-to-face casino's and not applicable with online Casino's or Sports gambling online, that doesn't have KYC, or even with KYC but is not that kind of strict with requirements, mostly gamblers can put fake identity and age, just to bypass those KYC that are not strict, for sure that age requirements are not likely followed, likely there can easily gamble, without the consent of anybody

As we all know that the age limit for gambling in casinos varies from country to country and can also depend on certain casino policies. And in most countries the minimum age for gambling in casinos is 18 years, there is also in some countries the age limit may be 21 years or more.
and 18 years and over are considered adults, but it is important to remember that gambling can be addictive and can have negative social and financial consequences, so it is important to gamble responsibly and really think maturely and play maturely to avoid addiction.

Well, that addictive part is a different story while limiting the gambling used for a certain age was really the problem but we can not really say that younger gamblers can become addicted to gambling easily because sometimes we will surely never know when he becomes addicted, or what is triggered for it on a human mind, but well as I have said there are many that triggered it, but certain that is a topic for another thread, right now age restriction is not really solid prevention for online gambling because certain individuals will eventually play online casino, with younger age, surely there is the much younger generation that is tech-savvy than with the adults now,


one of the reasons why some gambling sites require KYC is to prevent underage gamblers from using their parents' money to gamble but nowadays children are very smart, they can falsify KYC data, they will only pay some parents to do KYC for their account.

the minimum age in gambling is almost difficult to implement effectively, there are many loopholes to get away from it, and one other important thing, many gambling sites also do not require KYC for their users.  It is necessary to intervene from all parties to be able to prevent under the age of understanding gambling as early as possible.

Yup! They will surely be using a fake account purposely playing in a casino or sports gambling site hiding age is not a problem with people anymore, and sometimes provided information will be fake or a different identity of the person, the gambling site will never know that the person playing a bet was his son or daughter that have used his identity instead, that is how smart a kid can be this day, and with the Addiction problem it will be even worst that might happen,

of the several players who left Dortmund for me, only Bellingham really made me feel a little disappointed with Dortmund why not keep a Bellingham who has pretty good talent during his career in the bundesliga. but anyway this is Dortmund's decision considering that this is like their business as long as it is very profitable it will always be done without thinking about any risks.
and now Dortmund have got new players and some of these players are still young and I think it will be Dortmund's target again to make players more talented and then sell them. so in the summer it is unlikely that Dortmund will not have the same performance as last season and even my doubts about Dortmund not being able to qualify for the UCL.

Yes! I was surprised and disappointed at the same time when I have seen that Jude Bellingham is out of the Dortmund team, surely Borussia Dortmund doesn't really after the championship but the money in trading players instead, as you can see the future of Dortmund to become champion is on Jude Bellingham but they got him traded like that and surely if a team wants to get Jude Bellingham for sure they will give them Bellingham is exchanged with a huge sum, I haven't put the amount of free for certain players but Jude Bellingham's price was at a whopping €103.00m to the Real Madrid, while other players there are a free transfer,


In this case I agree with you, that Jude Bellingham's departure was probably the least expected of their supporters, but considering they have done something like this every year, maybe they are not surprised anymore to see players who have contributed a lot to the team's game leaving.

8 players who left Borussia Dortmund, it means they made large-scale changes. And I'm sure they will target potential young players and then they will join the squad. Borussia Dortmund are good at finding new young talent, that is an advantage they have that they should be able to take advantage of more than just taking advantage.

Actually, with the departure of Dortmund, they only got 3 players there that they sell and that is Tom Rothe, for a loan fee of €350k, Ansgar Knauff, for a fee of €5.00m, and Jude Bellingham that is the player with a huge fee of €103.00m, while all their transfer in the team is free of charges that they get, to free transfer and end of the loan, or returning but yeah Dortmund surely is like this they will train certain players then sell them in a higher price,

This is my 1st time seeing the Bundesliga Thread and upon reviewing the 2022-2023 results and the recent matches Dortmund has a close call to being the champion for this season of the Bundesliga, it was a crazy season aswell because there are teams that had unexpected performance gained and teams that are taken a little bump on the road, but I am really curious about the transfer that the team have made and have acquired for the lasts hours enhancing their teams for the upcoming season of 2023-2024, here is the Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund list,

^ LOL Bad day ya?

All that you expect to win had not made it.  The Dagestan guy doesn't breathe well.
The one that I also expect to win because he seems to be unstoppable was Brunno Ferreira. He didn't make a good impression, a veteran just knows what to do already. When a fighter throws a leg kick, his upper will be very open for a shot. And that is exactly a downfall.  

Its time for  UFC 290: Volkanovski vs. Rodríguez https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_290

Featherweight   Alexander Volkanovski (c)   vs.   Yair Rodríguez

Lightweight   Kamuela Kirk   vs.   Esteban Ribovics   

I think Yair can pull this one..      

Bad day for us, for sure I also had the same pick like that, and it was a tremendous bust but I only bet on the Main Event and the Co-Main Event, and it was a total loss,
Abus Magomedov clearly is not ready for a higher-ranking fight, he should adjust from being a striker to being a good Dagestan Wrestler, but still, that 1st round should be a sign for him and could be an eye-opener for him that he can not take of Sean Strickland with raw power alone, the technicality of Abus Magomedov towards the entire fight was throw out to the window, though he should have seen it on the 2nd round he didn't,



The next event is shown as a banger and Yair Rodriguez is a tempting pick for a bet, but you can not take out the technicality of Volkanovski, he has shown great potential against Islam Makhachev fight but he rather defeated because Makhache outstrike him but he was outwrestled Islam Makhachev on those fight, but still, the match ends up in the decision where he lets the judge decide the winners, now for Yair Rodriguez I think this kid has high potential but against Volkanovski it is not the same Alexander Volkanovski is not a joke and a different level than what Yair Rodriguez have know,

I think this is the first major where EG is really doing bad ...like this bad : 0-1-5. That is their record right now in Bali Major and if they manage to find a way to get good drafts and get out of their comfort picks , I don't think they will have great chances at TI.  Same goes for Shopify as this 2 teams are like twins because whenever a team is doing bad , the other will follow  Grin ...I guess they still share the same EG blood after all.

yeah, they are at their lowest in this tournament.  They are now out of the competition since they are sitting at the bottom of Group B with a record of 0-3-5. At least for SR, they won against IG yesterday so they still have a chance to qualify for the lower bracket.

Meanwhile , Quest is most likely the team who only a few of us believed in them but they are currently leading Group B and already qualified for upper bracket and if they somehow win this Major or at least get top 3, they will have a real chance for TI qualifiers as top 3 gets around 600 DPC points and will accumulate a total of 732 ( 500  for top 3 and they already have 232 dpc points ). And same goes for Nouns but I don't see them having a blast Major like Quest.

It is too early to tell. It is still the group stage and mostly, teams step up when they are on the bracket. For now, I am sure some good teams are still gauging up the competition.

Quest can be good, but they have a lot of good teams to deal with in order to finish top 3. At how they are performing, they can at least finish top 8, which guarantees them 300 dpc points. Hopefully they finish higher because we all like to see new teams qualify for TI.

As for nouns, they have fallen the rank. They are now bottom 2 with 1-3-3. It is still possible that they finish in a tie breaker, but it is very slim.
