Quote from: Velvet78
I don't think Juventus can hold off Sevilla in the semi finals if they continue to play like this. They had such a poor level of performance about finding the target especially. It was the summary of the second leg against Sporting I mean. The only shot on target found the back of the net and they managed to secure a 1-1 draw to advance. But they might not go on in this way for a long time.

Sevilla were not much impressive before but now they seem solid. Their second leg performance was really incredible. There was a big improvement compared to the first one. They should be able to maintain this level against Juventus as well and this might be enough for them to move on to the finale too.

Based on Sevilla performance in their last match to eliminated Manchester united from UEFA Europa league competition, showed that they will defeat Juventus in the semi-final because they have players who are capable to make things happen for their favour in this match. I think, Juventus are still lacking in the area of midfield because their strikers really lacked ball from midfielders last match that made sporting CP draw the match in the second leg. I know the match will going to be a tough match to the both team in this semi-final, but Sevilla players will definitely create an opportunity to win this match to move to the next level.
talking about between Juventus and Sevilla, yes I admit that Juventus is in a bad state at the moment and Sevilla is superior in terms of performance but at least beat Sporting and in the last match ended in a draw.
even though Juventus have never been able to keep up with Sevilla's game, it seems that Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri has the desire to bring the Juventus team to win in the semifinal first leg. maybe a little impossible but juventus has a chance.

Talking about me personally there are things that I would do in both cases. Reading the terms and conditions at first place would have avoided both the issues.

1. Reading T&C we would have known that there is KYC and if there is any such process then it's better off to clear the KYC at first place and then gamble on the site.

2. Reading T&C we would have known if the bonus is active or not and if yes then we can raise a scam accusation against it.
If the bonus was supposed to be expired then we could make the deposit accordingly.

In my early years of engagement with gambling casinos, I often disregard reading the Terms and Conditions but upon reading too many accusations and cases where the player is ignorant of the Casino policy, I now always read the platform's policy, especially the KYC conditions and if ever I see their Terms and Conditions to be reasonable, I will continue my registration but if it is vague I'll just skip the platform to avoid future problems.  It is really essential to read the Casino policy on deposits, bonuses, and withdrawals so that we won't get caught unaware of things that should have been avoided if we have learned the casino policy before depositing and playing on the platform.

There's this common thing many gamblers made as mistakes which is their inpatient in reading each casino's terms and conditions before enrollment, gamblers then follow up to agitate on any unusual encounter with casinos whereby such does not work in their favour but would have been well stated on their policy, another thing is not only joining a new casino that matters but having reliability in them not to turn scam base on our research about them and their past experience with other gamblers, all these were what should be table together and looked into in other to have a nice gambling experience and not to fall into hands of scammers in gambling.
And it happens to me oftentimes even though I know that it only takes a few minutes to read the rules. However, in today's situation, we are also aware that KYC is somewhat mandatory in major gambling sites especially when withdrawing huge amounts. So I think OP should not be surprised by such a thing, he should able to anticipate it even if it was not asked already. Because of now, it was hard to assume that there are sites that don't require KYC as they are also protecting their reputation when it comes to money laundering and any illegal activities. 
sometimes every gambler has a different character and maybe the OP is one of the gamblers who maintains his anonymity so maybe the OP doesn't care a little about KYC. indeed, at this time almost all big and popular casinos will definitely ask for KYC when they want to withdraw large funds from the platform and of course we also have to comply with these regulations so that we can continue to withdraw our funds.
for me no worries as long as we KYC at a big reputable casino.

every gambler must have experienced losing streaks in all types of bets, not just roulette. but that doesn't mean it's a scam or game manipulation.
In fact I myself had my first experience betting on roulette with a budget of $50 to $500-600 and after a few days I lost over $200 the next day I was still losing and a few months later I won another $400.
so the conclusion is pretty easy casino or games from any provider it is one business that is built to make a profit. so the problem of losing streaks or winning streaks is just a condition where you are unlucky and are lucky.

to be honest, I like the appearance of the main menu of this casino, but what makes me a little afraid to try is that this casino uses a web 3.0 basis and we have to connect a personal wallet to be able to bet. I am someone who is a bit skeptical of wallet based casinos as they are vulnerable to personal wallet hacks.
but I'm a little interested in the dividend reward offering that can benefit directly from getting LFI tokens.
unfortunately this casino is still relatively new and maybe i will monitor this thread if it looks safe maybe will try some casino games.

Have you heard of Superpicks on DSTV? where you can make predictions and win money without staking your money?

if you have not, check it out. Superpicks.com

My question is can it still be called gambling if it is not played with money?
for me everything related to predictions can be called gambling (for me).
because even if you use free money and you can guess correctly, of course you will make deposits on several gambling sites and make bets or bets.
the prediction site that you listed in this thread can trigger someone who doesn't like gambling to like gambling. after all, even though these predictions are free to get real prizes, it's the same as gambling when you predict for free and earn money if your predictions are correct.
4086  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: April 21, 2023, 10:10:43 AM
The French national team isn't very likely unless you mean after 2026 as Deschamps signed a contract until then. On the one hand I think Zidane would be the perfect fit for the national team, but on the other hand he is still so young and would still make a great club coach for many years to come.
to be honest I would prefer if Zidane became coach of PSG even though it's still TBH.
Zidane has had very good experience in the past when he was a coach at Real Madrid. Zidane always quickly learns every player character he holds and can provide a strong strategy in every match and Zidane is also able to bring his players to win 3x champions league titles in the past.
I think if Zidane really becomes coach of PSG for sure PSG has a very good opportunity to be better to get the best position in every league.
4087  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: April 21, 2023, 09:53:33 AM
most important point here is that AI can be useful for gamblers if gamblers feel doubtful or lack confidence in their own predictions, but it should be noted that something said by AI is not necessarily true and we still need to correct the results displayed by AI.
to be honest, I've never tried predicting using AI assistance, but I think it will come in handy when I really need it for sports betting.

on the other hand, AI can also provide more knowledge experience when we don't know the latest news about sports and that is very helpful.

While AI can provide a good glimpse of possible outcomes, accuracy-wise, there's nothing conclusive that we can rely on. We should trust our own research and analysis first and then use AI to strengthen our decision-making process. If we end up seeing that AI is giving us the same advantages as our own predictions, then we can proceed and take that call and place our bet.

it's worth noting that just because AI predicted something correctly on its first try doesn't mean it will always be right
you are right, even though we can rely on AI for the same benefits, that doesn't mean that the results we get are always correct, even more accurate in our own predictions. our analysis is indeed the main role in our predictions and AI is only the second prediction after we make predictions and even though the results displayed are different from our predictions, usually it will make us confused and confused to believe in our own predictions or believe in predictions displayed by AI.
from this problem we should prioritize our own predictions with all the analyzes we have made and ignore AI predictions. but sometimes someone who cannot commit himself to himself prefers to believe in the results made by AI. this would be very bad with indecisive results.

Juventus change top fourth standing position awhile after getting back 15 points deduction, current standing Juventus on 3rd placed and 59 points with two points remaining from Lazio. Its not any new punishment from FIGC actually Juventus has chance with champion league ticket for next season by finish on top fourth standing in domestic league. But still waiting have been final announcement about Juventus points deduction or FIGC will make another investigated how to cut off Juventus points.

Inter and Milan has warning in this situation because drop out from top fourth standing awhile and AS Roma become latest team with Champion League ticket next season if have consistent performance on several matches left.
it was very surprising when Juventus experienced an increase in the performance of its players who could take third place in this standings and now it is a consideration between Inter and Milan to think about how to catch Juventus' points.
because for me, what is more deserving of being in third place is Milan, who really deserve it in terms of very great players, it's just that maybe Milan are currently experiencing bad luck in several matches causing them to have a slightly decreased performance.
4089  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 21, 2023, 05:15:45 AM

To be honest, I don't think any coach is to blame, for me the problem is with the players, maybe they need something, I don't think the technical directors can do anything, because their job is to "Manage" more not teach, a coach cannot teach technique to a player, but a coach knows a player's technique and according to them, he will use it for a specific purpose, and all this information is what is done to win fútbol matches , so here it is not that the technique is failing, here at Bayern the rpobelma belongs to each one of the players and something they have to overcome and quickly.


I agree 100% with this statement. When you look at how they play and how they lack energy sometimes, I think their salary should be much more tied to their performances. When you earn such a high salary and nothing can really happen to you, it's all about character and whether you give everything you can. When I watch Bayern these days and especially the younger players, it seems to me that they have had enough. Can't blame someone like Muller, he is still on fire and regrets every single defeat, but many of the other guys seem as if they didn't really care.
nobody can be blamed for the slightly dismal performance at Bayern Munich but I agree with @shogun47's statement there is a possibility that their wages would have been higher. so maybe this Bayern player if he gets a bigger salary might always try to give a good performance and will always regret when he loses.
and Tuchel as coach of Bayern Munich is also not to blame or can't even do anything while all the player strategies have been given their best but the players are still having poor performance. I think Tuchel has also tried how Bayern can give a good performance in every game but indeed the problem with all of this lies with the Bayern Munich players themselves.
4090  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why do you favor betting on spesific sport? on: April 21, 2023, 04:18:22 AM
Everyone has a specific sport they like to play their game. Because for you to win a sports game you need to know the outcome of the players. And not all sports games are favorite to all. Like now, it is premier league sports I like to bet on while a friend of mine plays in Lali Ga. So one can play where the games favored him the most.
well, a simple statement that is easy to understand. in another simplicity is that everyone has different knowledge like you have knowledge in major league and i almost in every football league have some knowledge but no knowledge in other sports. so, I agree with your statement that everyone has their own favorite sport.
4091  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: April 21, 2023, 02:44:42 AM
Now we will relive last season's Champions League Quarter Final Deja Vu in the Semi finals.
Currently Manchester City is in a new condition because there is Haaland in their squad who is their new weapon this season.
Both still have chances because of their strengths. Both Man City and Real Madrid have great squads, they are very strong so farm. But as you said, Man City is now having much bigger doffefence because of Haalland and also their midfielders are very strongm This will make Real Madrid struggle very much in this match. Whatever this seems like and early final coming haha
The problem remains the same, depending on how mentally prepared they are at the moment.
As long as Manchester City are still not good from a mental standpoint against Madrid, no matter how good their squad is, they will still not be fine because they have lost mentally.
On the other hand, don't forget Madrid, which has always been one of the clubs that always has its own impression for the matches they live, which of course this will be troublesome, especially with the last 10 minutes which have always been their secret weapon.

On the other hand for the next bracket we will also see an interesting derby there because Milan and Inter are definitely fun to watch.
Man City was actually mentally prepared to fight Real Madrid but it's just that Man City lost experience with Madrid which made the City club's performance look like there was no mentality to compete against Madrid.
in the upcoming match Madrid will meet City and this should be able to prove whether City is really ready to fight Madrid and my prediction will end in a draw

Tomorrow La Liga open again and on matchday 30 we will see Espanyol play against Cádiz, this is an important match for both but very important for Espanyol, as they are currently in the relegation zone. At home Espanyol must be able to try their best effort to get three points, considering that their current performance is really bad, they have recorded six losing streak in La Liga. Meanwhile Cadiz is slightly better rather than the home team in their last few matches, and there is a possibility this match will be a draw but I'm doubt to bet if I pick draw. Is there a better option to bet on this match guys?
this is very worrying about the condition of Espanyol who are in the relegation zone. if in tomorrow's match Espanyol still loses against Cadiz at their own cage, I think there is no more hope for Espanyol.
even though if we look at the previous match when Espanyol played against Cadiz, Espanyol was able to withstand all attacks from Cadiz and was able to end the match with a draw and even Espanyol had beaten 2x in the last H2H.

There is no way you gonna print infinite money on online casinos, one day you gonna lose everything. It is matter of time and house edge gonna beat your "edge" one day no matter what you play, IMHO.

Can't agree more!
Gambling will gradually take all your capital no matter how much you win in a daily basis, but it will eventually going to be drained, everything.
It's really crazy to think that there are people who actually wants to have a stable source of income through gambling, I know most of the time it will never work. But, I'm just curious if someone have actually done this the right way? Except for those who are professional gamblers.
I think professional gamblers are also sometimes still unlucky in terms of making a profit at gambling even though professional gamblers have many ways of course they will feel unlucky.
a small example like a professional gambler in sports betting using arbitrage strategy, if he is not lucky his account will be banned by sportbook and funds will be confiscated by sportbook and worse KYC ID might be blacklisted in every sportbook.
well, that is one small example that there is no continuous luck that can be obtained from gambling even if it is only $ 100.

Manchester United's defense was so bad that they had to concede 3 goals to Sevilla in the second leg of the European League quarter final. Maybe the results of this match many have suspected with the current state of Manchester United which will certainly be very difficult to be able to win this match even though the initial aggregate of the two teams was a draw.

However, the unexpected thing was indeed a blunder from the captain Harry Maguire which made Sevilla take the lead quickly in the early minutes of the first half. Cheesy

How chaotic Manchester United's defense was that they couldn't expect much to catch up on aggregate and in the second half De Gea also added to the list of blunders for Manchester United in this match and Sevilla's victory with an aggregate 5-2 made them advance to the semifinals of the European league.
it turns out that it wasn't just me who laughed seeing Man United unable to withstand the attack from Sevilla who aggressively pressed Man United's defense and it was even more ridiculous when MU conceded the first goal in the first half of the 8th minute and I immediately laughed until it was unbearable, it's really funny to see MU very overwhelmed facing Seville players Cheesy
to be honest, I actually hate seeing Maguire with poor performance in several matches.
and I think whether MU will experience a decline in performance again this season after the rise of the red devils this season.

Newcastle are going to host Tottenham this week and it is important for top four. Newcastle are already holding a nice advantage in their hands as you know. They are three points ahead of Tottenham. In addition to that they have a missing game to play as well. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to open the point gap with Tottenham even more.

Tottenham are having a really bad time these days. We have all seen how they lost to Bournemouth home previously. They need to find a way out of this not to lose their chance for the Champions League completely. But for this game honestly Newcastle look more credible to me for the win. They are in a much better form.
if you look at H2H NewCastle can only beat Tottenham 1x while Tottenham have won 2x in several matches. well, this is indeed a good opportunity for NewCastle to take revenge against Tottenham with some of the bad conditions that Tottenham are currently experiencing.
at this time maybe Tottenham has several core players who are injured and maybe the performance of the overall players will decrease causing NewCastle to be superior in this match.
the upcoming match is quite easy to predict and i think will bet for NewCastle.

Well, I'm not sure if I have the answer to your question. Instead, take a persuasive approach. the rest, you can take it to the experts. next time, if you want to provide knowledge or as you tell in this thread. You also have to provide insight into the bad effects, especially if your friend has no self-control.
I will try to take him to a psychologist and give him more understanding in the hope that some time in the future he will be able to reduce his gambling addiction a little and be able to stop gambling in the future.
I don't know if this method works or not but I will try my best to get my friend's normal life back.
All this time guilt has plagued my mind and I have tried hard to give some of my cares and responsibilities as a friend.

Thank you friends for giving some delivery and I hope what I hope for can actually be achieved.
successful or not it depends on the wishes of your friend. if you take your friend to a psychologist but he has no intention of getting better, I think it will be in vain.
because psychologists will only help your friend to be even more enthusiastic to be even better to avoid gambling. and I think a strong push that can make your friend change for the better is usually the closest person he loves, like his wife or girlfriend.
I've taken him to a psychologist and haven't seen any results yet, but he's starting to have an approach with his family again so he doesn't hold his cell phone too often to play or gamble.
For now he has also made an agreement with his wife that all the finances that are responsible for holding and managing are his wife.
Maybe this could be a good start if he really wants to change and recover from gambling addiction as he has said.
This is where I started to be a little calmer and happier because of his intention to change after returning home from the psychologist, I don't know what the psychologist did but he already had a good start.
that's good! and you don't forget to tell his family to keep your friends away from the gambling environment. provide a daily approach to provide calm for positive thinking.
don't let your friends use the cellphone for a while because various gambling advertisements may appear on the cellphone screen.

I hope your friend recovers soon and you should also try to help your friend.

For people like you and me is why there are casinos that offer tickets for free for those gamblers who manage to accumulate enough wager each period of time. I have personally managed to accumulated two tickets for Stake's weekly give away. So you can have a chance to earn a lottery while you play dices, blackjack or any other game you personally enjoy.  Wink
The number of tickers per player does not have limit as far as I remember.

Unfortunately, my two tickets were not enough to win, perhaps, you could.
Ill leave the link towards the giveaway and the Terms of it here, in case you are interested.  Smiley

to gamble buying lottery tickets, maybe I almost never do that. but if you bet on other games and get some weekly tickets, that's what I do and like this type of lottery ticket.
even though it's still back to each other's luck but at least for every 5-10 tickets that I collect sometimes I still get a prize of $ 1  Grin

but for me a lottery ticket as you mentioned it is much better than buying a ticket for some numbers.IMO

Considering the experience aspect, the Juventus team will undoubtedly be far ahead. And I would say Juventus won the first leg only because of experience. But experience and match strategy do not always win. Players also need to perform well. Juventus will be making a big mistake if they think the Sporting team is weak. This team is very strong. And so I am looking forward to a competitive match. Hope the match will be enjoyable. Although the Juventus team is the favorite in this match, it cannot be said for sure that Juventus will qualify for the semi-finals. Sporting teams also have considerable potential.
I have a difference of opinion with you. the experience that Juventus has gained is what makes the performance of Juventus players better. because with experience this player can set any strategy that can beat Juventus opponents.
and for me Sporting is not a strong team for Juventus. look at the previous match that Juventus were able to beat Sporting with a score of 1-0, it doesn't mean that Juventus can only score 1 goal, it makes Sporting a strong team, but it's just that Juventus seems to want to give experience to Sporting.

and in this second leg for sure I will bet that Juventus will win.
4099  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 20, 2023, 06:37:57 AM
But I think Real Madrid also can't just leave the La Liga match because their current position is still not secure, moreover their city rivals Atletico are ready to overtake Real Madrid if they make a mistake which results in losing points in this week's La Liga match. I think Ancelotti must be able to rotate his players to get maximum results in two different competitions. For the next three weeks, Real Madrid will focus first on La Liga and improve their points tally.

Real Madrid is not fighting for the La Liga title. They will now only want to secure second place in La Liga. Winning the title is impossible for Real Madrid at the moment. However, if Madrid cannot perform regularly, they will lose second place in the table. Because Atletico Madrid is in very good form now. This team is also looking to occupy second place in the table.
Real Madrid will now turn their full attention to the Champions League match. Their opponents are Manchester City. Real Madrid's past record against Manchester City is not very good. They have lost three of their last four matches. They will definitely want to play better this season.
I think Real Madrid don't need to focus on La Liga but they will focus more on the champions league and aim to win the champions league title. so that Madrid doesn't really care about this La Liga even though Atletico Madrid replaces Real Madrid, it's not a big problem for Real Madrid.

and for the Man City vs Real Madrid match this will be a tense match and surely Real Madrid will do their best against Man City to qualify in the next round.

Napoli this season was extraordinary, they controlled Serie A without any significant rival which meant proving that they were very consistent and regarding their failure to make it to the semi-finals of the UCL this season because they lost to AC Milan, Napoli has a very decent performance to become a champion.The absence of osimhen was giving very big impact on the performance of napoli.Napoli actually has great performance and strong players but only lost in the champions league. They have the best record this season.Napoli are still proud of the achievements they got in the Italian league with good performance and are still ranked 1st in the Italian league.
Napoli's defeat against AC Milan, in my opinion, Napoli has played very well, it's just that Napoli lacks experience with AC Milan.
but nevertheless Napoli did not need to feel disappointed when they did not qualify in the semi-finals even though they had managed to achieve success reaching the top of number one in the Italian league.
I think Napoli will give always good matches in every league even without Oshimen.
