there is no 3rd place match in CL, so five matches to go, 15 points at maximum, realistically, no one can expect more than 10
Oh yes you are correct, I hoped to have more matches and more points for me, and I mixed that with world cup third place match  Grin
By miracle I won 6 points last round with two exactly correct result predictions but that doesn't happen so often.
I just want to be in top 10 positions if possible, higher the better.

Who does not want to be in the top 10 positions  Grin as the last place prize is a good one 4x the entry fee here but with just 5 games to go things are at an unprecedented level of difficulty,a lot of people have chances in theory but as always the ones more favored are those who have like 3-4 points distance to the 10th position.

This year Champions League has been really good as we finally have an Italian team finalist despite me thinking whichever of them,Inter or Milan stand no chance to win against Real or Manchester City and as such I exclude them from the possibility of winning the Champions.

Every investment is high risk especially when you invest a high volatile asset like Bitcoin,it is only better than gambling when you invest now and you wait in the long term and only sell Bitcoin after has increased in price from the moment you invested.If you want to do daily trading with it then there is nothing different from gambling as for me trading is the same as gambling because in both cases you cannot predict the future.

However you have taken the right decision to gamble less as in the long run this will be beneficial to you.
3803  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can this be effective against the increasing numbers of gamblers? on: April 25, 2023, 01:24:47 PM
Reducing the rate of promotion can not stop people from gambling and doing what they like to do since it involves betting and staking money to earn good amount of profits. The move to reduce promotion of gambling companies had been in contention for so long before now and I will not be surprised when I see the ban to reduce gambling activities that can have more influence on children, and some adults who might have issues with gambling addiction.
 What ever decision they make would only have limited effect on gambling platforms not the gamblers that have so many options.

I agree as I am not seeing any indicator that such move is effective against the increasing number of gamblers.Few gamblers watch TV and namely sport games beside the main ones and as such telling the audience which already gamble to stop gambling does not make a lot of sense for me.This is going on just because it is a law of the government that is enforced in most western countries which have a high rate of gamblers but it is not the right way to stop such number from increasing.In fact I don't see any other option except restricting betting domains but this is against human rights in developed countries so I think it will continue to be like that.

For me it is a sort of political chess,if the USA are steadily helping Ukraine in a constant way with modern weapons which has made the war that Russia wanted to end in 3 days to still be going now in almost 1.5 years after it started in 2022.USA is smart,they are selling weapons but also Russia in this context was smart in the beginning as they were dumping all the old weapons in the bin but now they are also losing a lot of modern equipment which has weaken their army to a really weak point.In this context the only victims are innocent Ukrainians which both the US and Russia do not care to sacrifice as long as they achieve their goals,sad but true that is how the world looks today.

A politician in the Philippines claimed to have had a hand in the development of the very controversial e-sabong platform he operated e-sabong so he can make a lot of money so he can use for the campaign, and his family to win local elections because the election in the Philippines is very costly many candidates are buying votes to secure their win, there were reports that he murdered their family's opponent because of e-sabong.
Do you think that government should have a rule or a law for election candidates not to have a franchise in any form of gambling, in fact, there are a lot of politicians who are operators of illegal small-town lotteries this is to accumulate funds they can use for election campaigns.

Congressman confirms past stint with e-sabong when it was not yet banned by gov’t

In Albania in 2019 all online sites were banned from being accessed from all ISP-s with an order directly for the Prime Minister and only the domain and gambling site where the brother of the Prime Minister was the main shareholder was let for people to play there.I am not at all surprised of politicians trying to get as much money as possible as where I reside now in Western Balkans,corruption is the main game for a lot of such politicians,they lie to us that they will improve our lives but in the end they always end up improving their life and those of their family.Nothing to be surprised wherever happens in Philippines,Western Balkans or even the United States as people are the same in all the world,greed is deep in our roots.

Tomorrow the game between Wolves vs Crystal Palace will start. In this game, the position of both teams is almost equal. Now to see which of the two teams plays better and wins the match by scoring more goals. But I think if the players of both teams play well then maybe  The match will be a draw. And if one of the two teams does better, then that team will win easily. I have seen Crystal Palace play very well in the previous matches. And still ahead of the Wolves team. If the Wolves team has a bad performance like the previous matches.  If they do, they will have no chance of winning.

I expect two draws out of the three games.The Crystal Palace team has only beaten weaker teams lately and in the last game they could not win against Everton despite Everton being a good part of the second half with 10 players.Wolves on the other hand is having somewhat of a relatively good spell and I think playing at home tonight will give them extra motivation to show good football and to not lose this game.

Aston Villa should win against Fulham based on their recent performance as they are not losing from 5 games and are having a look to be part of European competitions during this year.In the last game are playing two of the weaker teams of the league and a draw is the most logical result here.

There's nothing special about a person, it's just probabilities.

What they can do after winning big is to stop gambling, that's the only way to make sure you don't lose it all back to the casino.

And of course the casino want you to keep gambling as much as they can.

Yup exactly, there's nothing special about his account or himself, but he might be luckier than those of us who play, so we see him getting big wins more often than others. However, there are always negative moments, although we are motivated to be able to win big like he got, we also have to remember that there is value lost when he loses a game that he never shares here, we never know if he lost $1000, or maybe $5000 or more, never know. In the end just remember what he said "my game not your game", you can play the same game, but things will be different.

From that "my game not your game" there are a lot of meanings but the one I took as more common is that "I have much more money than you so I can play long enough to win big but you can't copy me" and it is somewhat true that people with higher balances can win more often as a higher balance can make your session go longer.

Today I got another 19 dollar bonus and that is almost 400.000 IDR which I am going to spend on Gate of Olympus searching for that max win,it is exactly 1 month today that I don't spend a single cent from my own pocket to play slots anymore.
3808  Economy / Gambling / Re: Freebitco.in - FUN Token Investment Experiment on: April 25, 2023, 07:19:12 AM
Investing in Fun tokens has many advantages it is very easy to save and the bonus amount is high the risk in investing is a little less. Fun tokens can be part of a bonus for new players but they can also be offered as ongoing promotions to reward loyal players, as well as to get users to test out a new slot game. Also Freebitco.in used to give free lots of satoshis which increased the number of investors. With these different options online casinos offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy free play and potentially win real money without spending your own funds.

Now is the best time to get as many of such tokens as possible.I rarely have seen a price of less than 21 Satoshi while right now they are on 22 Satoshi each.For people who have a Premium Membership and have access to different WoF daily can get at least 10 to 40 daily of such tokens based on the number of WoF spins.I have been doing this consistently and started from 5000 FUN after selling the majority at a big price of 40 Satoshi and am right now without doing anything except spinning the WoF at 7500 FUN,so I have made 2500 just by using free rolls and free WoF,of course I have also locked them monthly to get some 50 FUN token extra every month.

This is not big but for people who have enough money to scale what I do they can make a decent substantial amount of money.
3809  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 25, 2023, 06:49:06 AM
Atalanta really deserved the victory from Roma, because Roma performance was very poor from the beginning of the match till the end of the match that made them to defeated Roma 3-1 to embraced the three points. I think, Roma coach need to work hard to help the team to return back to second position in the Italian league table, because their next match is going to be a tough match which they need to prepare well so that they will experience victory from the match. Roma strikers are doing well but their defense and midfield are not too strong compared from the beginning of this tournament that made them to defeated many strong teams which they can still do it in the remaining matches to improve their points.
AS Roma got defeated and it wasn't their expectations in the game, with full domination of the game. Jose Mourinho was disappointed with match results because his intended action is to win a spot in the champions league next season, mistakes from his players. They got too comfortable with the ball and forget to net a goal when they got the chances to levelled the game. Atalanta on the other hand were serious and never planned for a draw, the way they attack and defend their territory was incredible, not easily invaded by Roma.
AS Roma played very badly in this match, their midfield didn't seem to provide a good supply of balls for the front lines so they weren't able to create many opportunities.
with this defeat making AS Roma drop to 5th in the standings even though they have the same points as AC MIlan, this will make it even more difficult for the AS Roma team to break into the top 4 in order to get a ticket to next season's UCL.

currently the competition is very fierce between AS Roma, Inter Milan and also AC Milan to fight for 4th place in the standings with only 7 matches left this season anything is still possible to happen even Juventus who are in 3rd place in the standings are still not safe because they are only superior 3 points and their performance is quite bad in the last 3 matches.

It was expected for Roma to not be able to withstand a good game yesterday night as they played on Thursday a difficult game which ended in the extra time and they qualified against Feyenoord in Europa League.They spend all the energies in that game and yesterday it was a sure bet to bet on Atalanta or Atalanta draw no bet for the skeptics.Another reason was that Atalanta needed a restart after several games playing very bad and going bad for them including some games where bad luck and referee made them lose such games.It is becoming very interesting the fight for the Champions spots in Serie A in these last games of this season.
3810  Economy / Gambling / Re: Which are best stake alternatives on: April 25, 2023, 06:09:15 AM
For the moment Stake is at the top considering the number of players to be the biggest there compared to other casinos,you can spot this if you see the chat especially on weekends where you can find up to 80.000 persons online which is a huge number.

However there are alternatives and there are a couple of them,you just need to read in this very section the ANN threads of different casinos and see reviews and feedback there because in such threads you can also spot why other casinos have unique games like the one you want for example.
3811  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: April 24, 2023, 09:12:55 PM
Well at the casino where I play someone in the chat said "if you feel poor try changing currency to IDR-Indonesian Rupiah" and this made me curious,I switched and then got to play Pragmatic Play slots,in there I could buy the Bonus Game for 1.34 dollars or 20.000 IDR while if I played with Litecoin or Bitcoin or any other currency and if I kept US dollar as my currency I had to pay 20 dollars.This does not mean that you will not lose in the long run but by buying the bonus there a lot more times than using US dollars you increase your chance of hitting it big,just an advice to people who have like 30 dollars,it means that 30 dollars are near 550.000 IDR and you can buy the bonus a lot of times with that while with 30 dollars you can only buy once if you keep US dollar as the currency.
This is possible in some local casinos, but how is that about many well-known casinos?
I don't know which casino you are talking about, but of course when you play with fiat (rupiah) the minimum purchase price for the bonus is very low. For $30, you can buy up to 22 times the bonus - in contrast to most other casinos.

Some casinos keep the bonus purchase minimum to $20 per purchase, obviously too expensive when you convert it to fiat (Rupiah).

I am talking about Stake which I hold in my signature and it is also one of the biggest and most reputable and well known casino.I think they are doing it greatly as they know that not all people are rich to buy the bonus for 20 dollars,surely most people that play at Stake are big wagerers as they are Platinum Level 5 or Diamond which means they have wagered more than 1 million dollars but for us mere mortals Stake gives us the option to play for a really long time by using IDR as local currency and buying the bonus a lot more times than we do in normal conditions.
3812  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 24, 2023, 08:48:55 PM
After joining PSC, Lionel Messi did not get the same support as the rest of the players supported him when he was in the Barcelona team. As a result, Lionel Messi is failing to give PSG something extraordinary. But I will blame the coach of the team for the bad condition of the team.
There was a main competitor in PSG and that's mbappe. Mbappe is the main problem that was also making so many problems for the club. It's not messi's fault. Messi will able to go back again to the barcelona soon. Messi's agent is ready to face barcelona's president to talk about the future of messi. Since messi already agreed to cut his salary and that makes his chance to go back again to barcelona became even bigger. I see that messi may play for barcelona in upcoming season. Barcelona already prepared some players to be sold to the another clubs.
Since barcelona has no money and the club will not able to keep all of the players. The fans of psg even the clubs itselfs already lost their respect for the messi.

Messi just need to follow the suggestion for him to leave PSG. It will be good for his future. Some players like raphinha will become victim of barcelona but this guy already prepared EPL team for his future team. 

Quote
Barcelona are ready to hear offers for three star attackers, Raphinga, Ferran Torres and Ansu Fait, next seaso
https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/barcelona-attacking-overhaul-prepared-to-sell-raphinha-ferran-torres-ansu-fati/blt2ada21ed903cf45a

PSG needs to find a replacement for him as soon as possible. Galtier already admitted even with so many stars and it is still getting bad result in all of competitions.

Messi is a player who usually gets support from other players like a legend they most rely on Messi, just like his situation in Argentina's national team and his previous team Barcelona, but still, after he joined PSG there were many other superstars players and Mbappe is one of them, Obviously, he won't receive the same respect and his unbalanced situation damaged him and effected on his performance.

I am not sure whether Messi's performance was effected negatively in any way. Messi is by far the best scorer in Ligue 1 (goals + assists). Messi has played with countless of superstars before he played with Mbappe. Iniesta, Xavi, back at the time he also played with Neymar and Suarez and that worked amazingly well. If I recall correctly they won the Champions League together and Messi and Neymar became the best goal scorers in the Champions League alongside Cristiano Ronaldo. This is definitely not an issue for Messi to share the pitch with other superstars. In fact Mbappe is benefitting nonstop from Messi due to the superb and out of this world assists from him.

It is not Messi.He is playing well with PSG,the problem is the group,the harmony in the group which is not the perfect one and when you don't have harmony in the group you can't go and just win the Champions League.That is a common problem in teams that has put together a lot of world class players as if we recall the time when Real had all those great players they didn't manage to win a lot of Champions League titles and they were called at that time,Los Galacticos meaning players coming from different galactic and that they were not from earth,there was a big competition between players and that is why they despite being absolutely the best team in the whole world just won once the Champions.Now Paris is suffering from the same symptom and they need to find harmony in order to try and go further in Champions as in Ligue 1 they are winning from several years in a row now.

For the only thing i want to see Newcastle in Champions League next season, its because i really want to know who megastar are they gonna buy to his team.

And also to see if it was real the rumour we heard about Cristiano Ronaldo, coming back to England if Newcastle takes part in the next UCL.

I think they have a clause in his contract which permits him to come back to England if Newcastle goes to play in Champions League which honestly most likely they will be playing there based on their performances lately except the game they lost against Aston Villa who they got wrong since the beginning.

We have to wait for it but I am hopeful we are seeing Cristiano playing for Newcastle next season in the Champions League,it will be great to see Newcastle in European competitions next season as they are missing there from quite so many years now and in the remote case they don't get to Champions,Europa League is a sure thing for them.

Lets see what updates and news the teams brings up.

In another thing im not following so much the news this lasts weeks, but i see one, and it was a important one, Mercedes claim to be more more dfaster than before, and also they again put in  charge his former director, so lets see what they bring in this GP or in a few more.

They sure had enough time to fix a couple of things,as it is almost one month that we are without racing and not only Mercedes all the teams had enough time to improve their cars.No matter these claims it will be only the track that will tell if teams have indeed improved and Mercedes is much faster as they claim.I doubt they would have improved as much as they claim as Redbull has been quiet from some time meaning they keep their head down and they also upgrade their car just like other teams are doing.

The track is a great one to be used as an indicator to check teams performance as one lap is well over 1 minute and 30 seconds if I recall correctly,being one of the longest tracks of the calendar,it will make sure to see the true power of the cars if they have indeed improved or not.

Tottenham is a forgotten game by now as tomorrow and after tomorrow we have Premier League action once again.This time in this week of Premier League that is taking place in midweek we have the direct clash of the title contenders as we see Arsenal face Manchester City and the only option for Arsenal to have a go at winning the title is to win at all cost this upcoming clash.The only problem though is that Arsenal recent results of 3 consecutive draws are in big contrast with those of Manchester City which is making clinical games against every opponent in all the competitions they are taking part and as such for me it is almost impossible for Arsenal to win in this game.

The first winner had around 210 million lottery tickets and the amount you need for buying that number of tickets is 2.1 BTC.

Well my bad then I got carried away when I saw 210 million tickets and if that is the case I am pretty sure no one is dumb enough to buy 210 million tickets with over 2 Bitcoin to spend so I am assuming he wagered a lot as all other people are pointing out.

@slaman29 you could have bought a lot of FUN tokens to enjoy free interest from locking them as making 400k RP is wagering a lot of money and you would not lose anything over the long run,you could lock the FUN for just 30 days and reap the rewards month after month but the fact that you got 400k RP and 0.01 Bitcoin is a great achievement also.

If casinos decide to not pay as they think the law would not enforce them,people like OP posting here about it and if found to be true are a real danger for these casinos as people will migrate to other casinos who can pay that amount without questions asked,a win is a win at whatever amount it may be as long as is valid and the player has not cheated the casino.We are hearing a lot of such stories and the good news is that the casinos who choose to pay and behave correctly to their user base in the end will be the big winners as they will get more and more players and there is the house edge in place there to make the casino profit in the long term.Any casino found not respecting winnings that are valid should be avoided.

It's a pity for Marquez, since 2020 he has always had injuries. To my amazement, Honda didn't even make progress towards improving the bike. Earlier this season Marquez was also injured again colliding with Miguel Oliveira (RNF Aprilia) in the 2023 Portuguese MotoGP. The situation is so difficult, I feel sorry that he seems to be unlucky. His body was damaged by injuries. It seems that there must be the best combination for Marquez to feel comfortable on the bike. Honda must facilitate his comfort and Marquez must give the right input on Honda.

He is the only rider that can make Honda win as in the race he was DNF because of colliding with Oliveira he had won the Pole Position despite him having a much weaker bike than Ducati who is dominating this Championship and things look very easy for them with Marquez not fit.It is indeed unlucky for such a rider to not be able to compete at 100% of his condition as if he was at such level I am sure we would be seeing a very fun and competitive season in MotoGP with him fighting alone against the supremacy of Ducati,unfortunately no other rider can do such performances even with a weaker bike so we must resign to the fact that it is already a Ducati season despite us being in the first races of the season.
3820  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏆 The Emirates FA Cup - Season 2022/2023 on: April 24, 2023, 12:10:33 PM
The FA cup final is between Manchester city vs Manchester united, I believe many people will predict for the favour of Manchester city base on their performance in champions league quater-finals that made them to qualified for semi-finals easily. Manchester united struggle to defeated their opponent in penalty shoot out yesterday, because their displayed from the beginning of this match was very poor and it will not help them to have a good confident that they will win Manchester city in this final battle. Manchester city will be my favorite team in this final, because they have potential players that will make it happen for them to achieve the title at the end of the match.
It's true that I myself will also favor Manchester City, which will win the FA Cup this season. Moreover, Manchester City must secure this title if they want to win the Treble Winner this season. On the other hand, Manchester City is quite easy to qualify for the FA Cup final because it is against a team from the second division of the English league, while Manchester United has to fight one of the teams that is on the rise this season in the EPL, namely Brighton, so it is quite natural for Manchester United to go qualifying for the final round was quite difficult and got past the penalty shootout to ensure his steps into the final.
Pep Guardiola to me is a noisy kind of manager, he will have alarming statement to the media on any side chances he wins the FA cup and then premier league. I know its possible but England may not allow this.  I myself, will not like to see Pep Guardiola win this title.  I prefer the wins UEFA champion league cuz that one will be adding even more glory to his coaching portfolio.  I'm only discouraged by my notion because the game Manchester United played isn't convincing enough to say that they will become the FA Cup champions

Manchester United did well in qualifying as I would not expect them to play beautiful football just two days after they were devastated by Sevilla and they were eliminated from Europa League without scoring an honor goal in the second leg.The fact that they got to extra time is exactly because of this,they were tired and not fully concentrated in the FA game.Manchester City on the other hand won easily continuing their super perfect form in all three tournaments they are taking part so far,they for me are the favorites to win this cup as to put it simple,no other team from the Premier League can compete with them now,with such form they have they can beat any team.
