FIFA manages to give us new surprises every World Cup. The 2022 World Cup in Qatar has been brilliantly organized, whose reputation still lives on around the world. Hope FIFA will hold the next World Cup with more grandeur. In the next World Cup we will all see a new whole of young players in the team.

I don't know what you are talking about. Qatar 2022 was marred by many controversies and scandals. Tickets were overpriced, LGBT and unmarried couples were discriminated against, and alcoholic beverages were banned at the last minute without prior warning. Qatar just wanted to showoff their petro-wealth, and I guess they managed to do that. I found the 2018 FIFA World Cup much better organized, compared to the 2022 edition. And to be very frank, I would say that 2022 edition was one of the worst ever since I started watching football.

Some people believe the 2022 world cup was well organized but I didn't think the same way, they just spent lots of money to build the stadiums they won't need after the world cup, I mean for a country like Qatar without famous football teams where they hardly get qualified for the world cup building these stadiums was just wasting money but this time in the USA and two other countries there won't be a problem like this.

This upcoming World Cup after a couple of years will be of course better than in Qatar yet Qatar did well to build those stadiums as they have money to throw away and they also showed off in the international arena of their capabilities.The only thing which cannot be forgiven to them is the number of workers that died during the building of such stadiums,they could care less for human life and that is a grave mistake which has gone strangely overlooked by the international community.

I am pretty confident the 2026 World Cup will be much better as the countries hosting them are in a much better shape for hosting such events compared to Qatar which is a small country.

I prefer that game with Fruits,fruit party which is the best one and is kinda using the same mechanics as this one but Sweet Bonanza has a much better game play when it comes to the bonus round,and I must be honest when I have been playing for fun I have won several times more than 1000x but they were worthless as I was playing FUN money and not real one.

For real I have never played that seriously Pragmatic slots as when I used to play I always played Play n Go slots,but now I have already quit slots as you know from your other thread Slot 101 and is almost 2 weeks that I have not played real money slots  Grin.

Lampard might also have a few problem with picking a starting xi, but I'm very sure he'd have been keeping close tabs with Chelsea even while away. For the next 3-4 for games, it's going to be Chelsea ML for me, even against Real Madrid!
I have seen an interesting piece of info on twitter. Supposedly Lampard said something on the line "Third time is a charm" when taking the job. Now you can interpret that as he means to do business now, since he was a player there and already a coach once. But of course twitter immediately took it in another direction and concluded he will be ex quickly and then he will do wonders next time he comes to Chelsea Smiley

First order of business in Chelsea must be getting rid of couple of players. Their roster is just too big, better to sell some while they are still worth something.

I think this time he will get things right and if he really does so,then it is up to Chelsea board of directors to extend his contract well beyond the time "for the time being" that is offered to him now.He of course cannot do wonders and results takes time to come but as a first step would be to win against Wolves in today games,something which I think Chelsea is more than capable and Wolves is not one of the strongest teams in Premier League,so this win should make Lampard start with the right foot and keep rolling.

If you are 100% clean and correct in your behavior and the casinos have blocked and limited you for no reason,those named here then what you can do is to open a new account in a new casino,Stake is one well known for not limiting anyone's account as long as they behave correctly and accept their terms and conditions and you can start a new journey there.This casino offers the same if not more betting options for sport betting as I am assuming you are limited in sport betting as it would be real funny to see here that someone was blocked and limited because he played slot machines.This you can do to bypass the limits in those other bookmakers but if even here you get restricted then most probably is something wrong with you then.

I would rate 10 out of 10 a win of Manchester United in the game of today against Everton,that is how confident I am that they will win.I think they have learned from their past mistakes especially that draw at home against Southampton and most probably they are not going to make the same error again.The odd for me is really good at 1.50-1.53 taking into consideration that they are playing at home in front of their fans and this victory should be a good wish for them for the upcoming Europa League game.

The big big Milan huh,not being able to win also against Empoli while before not being able to win against Salernitana in their home and a few other really bad surprise results.I hope they come out of the Champions in their 2 tier clash with Napoli and I know they will because their win against Napoli was just pure coincidence and Napoli was in a very bad day in that game with a few key players missing,things will be totally different in this encounter.Milan has been one of the teams that have caused the biggest upsets and they deserve the worse in the Champions.
4007  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots 101: Basics, Strategies, and Discussion (with poll) on: April 07, 2023, 08:27:39 PM
these weeks I feel if Slot games are bad for me or even my bad days. i have played Slots on the first two providers on Play N Go i lost all my balance.
and after that I forced myself to bet again on Pragmatic providers and the results were very disappointing on Olympus and StarlightPincess in 2000 spins without a big multiplier.
looks like I'll stop gambling for the next few months

I know that feeling and I am having a hard time staying out of playing slots but the result by doing so is less sadness for me while I am blaming big teams in sport betting for not winning.Sometimes bad luck affects us all but as someone here said,patience my friend,the day when we will hit that big win is not that far away hopefully and when you hit like x10000 or even more than that and you are playing with a bet of over 0.70 the feeling of greatness empowers you as I saw someone at Stake casino hit that max win at pragmatic slot the red queen if I remember correctly a couple of days ago (yes I always keep chat open to see other people winnings to keep me motivated) and he won like 51.xx Litecoins which is not a bad amount of money,so patience for people who still play slots.
4008  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 07, 2023, 07:51:38 PM
Hi friends, I have some questions for you guys about online casinos

What will you do if you don't know that a online casino will ask you for KYC after winning over 8,000$ on the platform? And you now manage to process with the verification and they failed to pass you? Can you consider such a casino a scam?

Also, imagine you get attracted to an online casino because of the bonuses they offer and you open an account and make your first deposit then you didn't receive the promised bonus, is this an act of scam or not?

I am trying to solve such an issue for someone very close to me and that the complaint he gave, I have no answer than maybe the bonus was canceled already before he made the deposit or there was a minimum deposit requirement.

Any other reasons?

That is why I always verify myself up to level 2 KYC in most reputable ones casinos which I consider them extremely trustworthy,so when that day comes that I hit a big win I would not be having such problems at all.I don't care much about KYC when the casino where I am playing at is trusted and respected in this forum and what is most important for me,that their support is knowledgeable and that has been my case with the supports of such casinos.

The only problem I am having,is that the big win we all expect to hit someday,it looks like it will never come to me at all but I still am hopeful and that is what keeps me coming back  Grin.

As for your problem if you want to verify yourself after the big win,you are letting the case to be in the hands of the casino and things can go either way as they can come up with any excuse like why didn't you verify yourself before the big win for example and to cause you trouble.

Well I never thought Porto to be able to turn things around after they conceded a goal early and playing at Benfica home,yet here we are with just 20 minutes to go and the result is 1-2 for Porto now.Both teams will play in Champions League so I think it does not impact the game of each team and they are giving it all for this game,while Benfica has the luxury of not caring much if they lose a game as they are still leading the Liga Portugal comfortably as they are still 7 points ahead of Porto and the game is not over yet and most probably Benfica will draw,anyway whatever happens Liga Portugal is most likely already won by Benfica and as such even if they lose this game nothing will really change in here.
4010  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 07, 2023, 06:14:44 PM
As I predicted one of the teams would screw up as rarely we have seen three games out of three games to come out as predicted since the distant years when lotto sport,sport betting and gambling was not around,since the year 1998 everything has changed for the worse and we are now just witnessing one of the so many days where the favorites do not win as predicted.I knew Inter came from recent bad results and Salernitana from 4 draws but Inter had everything in their hand to win the game and put an end to this bad spell of them.

Even Napoli is in a draw now but I think in the end they will win the game as there is still a lot of time and 2 surprise results from 3 games would be a bit to much for my taste.
4011  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 07, 2023, 05:46:08 PM
We have a good game which I think it will be entertaining to watch for tonight as Sevilla faces Celta Vigo at home.Both teams have not been doing well during this season as they are both near the bottom of the standings with Sevilla needing the points more than Celta Vigo and I think they will have a narrow win most probably 2-1 as a result.The fact that they are playing on Friday give them enough time to prepare well for the upcoming Europa League encounter which it will be difficult for them as they will be facing one of the heavy favorites there,Manchester United so playing on Friday was a really good idea from the football federation in Spain.
4012  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 07, 2023, 01:43:37 PM
Here are my picks for tomorrow's games

SC Freiburg VS FC Bayern Munich

The stake odds for this game are 6.40 for Freiburg, 5.00 for a draw, and 1.47 for Bayern Munich, right now Philipp Lienhart and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh can not play for Freiburg, while Dayot Upamecano can not play because red card Noussair Mazraoui, Mathys Tel, Manuel Neuer, and Lucas Hernandez can not play for Bayern Munich, what if Freiburgs game on DFB-Pokal wasn't a fluke and because of the many injuries Bayern Munich has Freiburg could win this, so I think I will make my shot with Freiburg this time,

Bayer 04 Leverkusen VS Eintracht Frankfurt

The stake odds for this game are 1.85 for Leverkusen, 4.00 for a draw, and 4.00 for Frankfurt, right now Karim Bellarabi, Kerem Demirbay, Adam Hlozek, Nadiem Amiri, Patrik Schick, Andrey Lunev, and Charles Aranguiz can not play for Leverkusen because of injuries, while Hrvoje Smolcic, Christopher Lenz, Almamy Toure, and Jesper Lindstrøm can not play for Frankfurt, for this game I think I will go again with the underdog and get a chance for the small odds Frankfurt have, and because Leverkusen has many injuries, so my pick is Frankfurt,

FC Augsburg VS 1. FC Koln

The stake odds for this game are 2.85 for Augsburg, 3.40 for a draw, and 2.55 for Koln, right now Mads Pedersen, and Reece Oxford had 1 game suspension and Ermedin Demirovic has 2 games suspension because of a red card, Dion Beljo, David Colina, Niklas Dorsch, Kelvin Yeboah, Andre Hahn, and Tobias Strobl can not play because of injuries, while Mark Uth and Florian Dietz can not play for Frankfurt, so for this game, I think this could be a close game but because of that many suspensions and injuries, this game is going for Frankfurt, my pick is Koln,

Borussia Dortmund VS 1. FC Union Berlin

The stake odds for this game are 1.61 for Dortmund 4.20 for a draw and 5.60 for Union Berlin, Right now Sebastien Haller, Nico Schlotterbeck, Julien Duranville, and Mateu Morey can not play because of injuries, and Thomas Meunier and Giovanni Reyna are doubtful if they can play for Dortmund but for me, I think I will go with Union Berlin her, I will not underestimate Berlin this time and they could have a chance in beating Dortmund Berlin right now,


I don't think Bayern Munchen will lose again against Freiburg as that in the cup in the midweek was just Bayern not calculating the game and not being motivated as it was just a cup game and the cup is not their main objective.This game tomorrow is for the Bundesliga and they are having difficulties to create a gap like they have done these last couple of years and Dortmund is right there to take profit of this situation,a lost game tomorrow for Bayern would mean that Dortmund will have high chances to become leaders of Bundesliga again and they are playing at home which most likely will win.That is why I think Bayern Munchen is going to win tomorrow even at the cost of not doing well in the upcoming Champions League game.

I think that gamblers have long been in need of such a tool,to visualize data they read on the Internet which in turn would help them make better decisions.I think that this software should be great and should be put free to try for about a month like most of the Sharewares are in order for everyone to try and if it really makes an impact then I think the creator of such tool should be getting some benefits,maybe a premium subscription for more options or something along these lines.Anyway I will give it a try first as Statistical Analysis if done right can help a lot in making a decision at which event is better for us sport bettors to bet for example.
4014  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 07, 2023, 11:57:29 AM
I can see so many discussion on this particular match which Real Madrid vs Chelsea,  which I know so far would be interesting to watch as Chelsea are looking to make for last year disappointment with their tie with same Real Madrid But I feel the fixture between Manchester City and Bayern Munich will be more interesting. Manchester City and pep guardiola have really tried their best and it would have been nice to actually see them struggle struggle out in the final with one of the big names of the champions league but no positive results have been made towards achieving that goal.  Manchester City again this year will have to play Bayern Munich who are a very good side and I know it will be very hard for them to qualify over Bayern Munich.
I'll always back Real Madrid in every Champions League match until they get kicked out of this league. However, in the quarter finals, Real Madrid will perform brilliantly to ensure victory, as Real Madrid managed to defeat Barcelona by a huge margin in the Copa del Rey match. Real Madrid is getting stronger day by day.
Real Madrid will definitely knock Chelsea out of the champions league in this round of quarter finals. Chelsea are in a state where they just need to maintain their status to avoid finishing the season in a position that will be very regretful. The new owner of Chelsea football club was too lenient with the former coach of the club which is Graham Potter, sometimes I just wonder if Roman abramovich will have done the same mistake by allowing such a stay with the hope of him improving the squad performances.

Benzema has scored a hat-trick in the last two matches. At the same time, the Madrid players are in excellent form. With the way Madrid has performed in the last few matches, their chances of defeat against Chelsea seem slim. Even then I would say that the Chelsea team should not be underestimated. Overall Chelsea's performance has been poor, but their squad is strong. And the players in the squad are very talented. Chelsea has the ability to beat teams like Madrid if the players play well. And so if Ancelotti wants to win this match, the Madrid players must play very carefully.

After the win that Real had in the cup against Barcelona which no one expected them to totally destroy Barcelona at their home with a tennis result 0-4 and seeing Chelsea last results in the Premier League I think it is clear for everyone of us to see that Chelsea most likely stands absolutely no chance against Real Madrid in these upcoming Champions League encounter.

Even if they sign a great coach,he simply will not have time to change things and Chelsea owners should not be expecting miracles in the Champions League and also in the Premier League from Chelsea during this season.

Ferrari did an appeal to get the 5 seconds of the penalty to Sainz to be removed.

If they will win the appeal Sainz will be 4th again up from the 12th position.

It won't change much in the standings overall but the great news if it happens is that it will give a huge moral boost to Sainz which to be honest did a super drive in this last race and it was thrown away because of stewards and race direction.

It is a shame that China has suspended their race and that now we will have to wait until Azerbaijan race which is further away and I can't really wait that long for a F1 race honestly  Grin.

One "new" about Chelsea, here in Argentina are talking about Chelsea has made a formar offering to Gallardo, former River Plate coach, and the coach who make Enzo Fernandez so great. He made him debut also.

I think its gonna be a really BIG step for him, but its really good to catch a team in this conditions for him, because he is one of this coach who doesnt married with any player, if he has to sub you or clean you for your performance he is gonna do.

About how are their teams, for all of those who doesnt know him, they are very offensive teams with high pressure. So you have to run.

That is exactly what is missing at Chelsea right now,attack and aggressiveness,also they need to keep running so this coach may be the perfect fit for them.I have always loved River Plate as a team and I used to wake up at 1.50 AM to see the derby against Boca Juniors many years before,I believe 2003-2004 so I think this coach can be a good fit.Of course Europe and especially the Premier League has much more intensity than Argentinian Primeira Liga but nevertheless I think a coach with this mentality is just what is really missing at Chelsea so I hope he got the job.
4017  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 07, 2023, 08:04:34 AM
They cannot publicly display the list of who is getting how much bonus or drops, as this will lead to the violation of the user’s privacy policy. Moreover why are you caring for other people? If you are getting your rewards as promised, then definitely others might be getting the same also. Regarding the honesty, then your only concern should be how fair the games are that you are playing. You can easily verify the seeds of the game and can easily conclude that whether the casino is honest and transparent or not. Hope this clears some of your doubts OP.
We cannot expect 100% transparency from them because it will also put their business at risk knowing a lot would be eyeing to them especially that there is tight competition in the market. So as much as they want to be honest and transparent to you, just think that they are also doing it to other players. No need to publicly display those who have received their bonuses, after all you will see series of complaints if there are those who have been lied about their promised bonuses or rewards.

Funnily enough, they have one of the simplest business models on the planet. Build some games that can take in money, build enough security around them in many forms to keep the funds safe, hire a customer service team and then try to acquire as many new customers (including via special promotions) because each new one will generally be handing you free money because they don't understand the odds involved. Sportbooks get slightly more complicated as you need to do a lot of data crunching and analysis, even if outsourced, in order to be able to offer competitive odds and also make sure that you're not getting tricked in all sorts of different ways like match fixing.

I would agree with everything except sport betting.In the beginning for new prospects which register at the casino they will have some difficulties and they will lose money but with the passing of time they may grasp the concept well enough to keep making money consistently and becoming a "burden" for the casino as they will not be giving money to the casino but will be getting money out of the casino.Of course the number of such individuals is very low compared to the ones losing money so the casino does not care as overall they will be making money.

Strasbourg is a team which scores a lot of goals and can put any team in difficulty,both Monaco and Paris had a lot of difficulties to win against Strasbourg and both conceded goals.I am not saying that Lens will not win but surely it won't be that easy and the odd of 1.5 seems a bit low.I can understand the bookies though as one win from Lens during tonight game will put a lot of pressure on Paris as they will be just 3 points behind Paris with this win so a lot of different factors to consider in this game before placing a bet,nevertheless I have placed little money on a Lens win.
4019  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: April 07, 2023, 06:51:12 AM

Arsenal no doubt are one step or should I say two step away from securing the premier league title, but any slip up could see them throw away all the hard work they have done for this year because the matches remaining for them are still a little bit much but with the coming of Gabriel Jesus like you said in the squad will be beneficial to them but their fixture against liverpool is very vital because this Liverpool side although wounded could really play a surprise in the picth, they have done against Manchester United and could also shock the gunners if they are not causious enough.
That's the point, don't let them make mistakes and lose focus so that it will cost them later. Now they are just focused on the Premier League, because they have been eliminated from the competition they are participating in this season. This season is a good season for Arsenal to become champions, the opportunities and opportunities are really in front of their eyes now. Arteta must be able to motivate his foster children so that this opportunity does not pass them by.
The whole team are playing really fine and their momentum is high at the moment. They have considered the remaining games as finals and I believe they can run the show till the end of the season. We know that the eight points can easily disappear but I’m sure Arsenal won't let it go like that because this is their time to win the league and also go to the champions League. Their primary target for this season was to go to the champions League next season but God being so so good, we are on top. So I don’t see them dropping points.

I agree 8 points are not that big of a gap but with each game passing and Arsenal playing well it gives them further boost in confidence and moral that they will the Premier League Champions during this season.They need to make mistakes in at least 4 games which is highly unlikely in just 10 games remaining for a team like them,so most likely they will be Premier League Champions as I said.I also think that it should be great to keep betting on them for the remaining number of games despite the bookies making their odds smaller than usual,I think we can make money following such trend.
4020  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: April 07, 2023, 06:22:55 AM
I think is a tricky night for Serie A as the three games should be won by the favorites with a bit of a question for Inter game as they are not winning from 5 consecutive games and Salernitana also is having a good run with 4 draws consecutively even against good teams but overall I think Inter should turn things around tonight and win their game.

For Napoli I have no doubts they are going to crush Lecce and also Milan should win against Empoli,so these two games put in a parlay should be a good option to make some money or to double the stake as the odd should be just 2 or a bit more.
