It's no wonder that Chelsea have to gamble with a coach like Potter. Like it or not, this is the risk they take as a result of being careless in choosing a coach who admits that a club as big as Chelsea is not easy to control. With poor Premier League results, of course, the guarantee is sacked. Gradually it will happen, even more carelessly buying expensive players with quite poor skills and quality. Todd Boehly wasted too much money and the results weren't worth what he spent.
But in Brighton, Potter has built a strong team and, by the way, without such great financial opportunities as he has in Chelsea. He need to be able to adapt to everything, and if Potter is still in the post of head coach, then Boehly trusts him. Chelsea have a lot of difficult matches left in the Premier League, so they definitely shouldn’t count on something in the Premier League this season. In the Champions League is also not an easy opponent, the chances are not great there. I think he has been granted access to be the coach of Chelsea for at least the end of the season and then the management of the Chelsea team will evaluate the results and impact that this coach has brought to the team for the time he was appointed coach.If the results will be good and for this to happen he needs to start showing some solid performances from Chelsea and not show the lost games against weaker opponents and what would give him a huge bonus is if he manages to do the almost impossible which is eliminating Real Madrid from the Champions League.Still if he only manages to bring a better Chelsea only in the Premier League I think he will stay the coach of Chelsea even for the upcoming season. |

It's not going to be an easy season for Marquez, it looks like it's going to be a difficult season for some riders already after the first race, the Yamaha and the Honda aren't really working, the Honda is hard to control and the Yamaha is just slow.
On top of that we are already missing four riders in Argentina, and that is after only one race. But the scoring is a bit strange, after only one race Bagnaia already has 37 points, when you are a contender for the championship and you crash in a double race it is hard to make up the points.
Yes, just starting and new injuries are coming. It seems that Honda signed Marquez only to provide treatment for his injury. If I'm not mistaken, he has been injured more than five times. Regarding points, the existence of a sprint race does seem a bit anek. But for drivers who are able to compete it really helps to get points. Indeed, if you look at it, there will be a lot of points difference in the race. But it's a new format that provides greater opportunities to compete for other drivers. I still think Ducati will still be successful this season. It is early but it looks like that.The fact in difference on speeds on both Motos is over 10 km/h in favor of Ducati and 10 km/h more for a talented rider makes an enormous difference when on track and boost his confidence to great levels.We still have to wait for a couple of more races and if Marquez is not able to be back in fight and win some races then the season is most likely over and it will again be a Ducati season which compared to how long Honda and Yahama have dominated the MotoGP I think winning again for Ducati is a great achievement. |

Great site overall for the whole ecosystem of Bitcoin because of the no risk element to the site with gambling combined with a faucet it really helps encourage the weary to place a bet or just collect small amounts of BTC and be involved. Though this might seem a small unimportant effect, the newest growth in the ecosystem could be said to be the most important for growth and long term health of BTC. Many will be told and also personally be apprehensive about BTC for alot of reasons, having the ability to enter the space and find out its not the terrible thing made out really breaks down barriers.
Any site which helps to encourage the smallest of players is vital imo
I strongly agree with this as my only active referrals are people that I have taught everything for the site and Bitcoin and they immediately joined under me,of course they are not 100% active but I see that they keep hitting that roll button once a while and as such giving me small commissions.I think the fact that they joined immediately is that I explained to them that this is a free site and you can click the roll button each hour having the possibility to get up to 200 dollars as a maximum prize from rolling. Now when I think where we are compared to when we started,drawing a 200.000 dollars Lambo every 6 month says a lot about the importance of such site. |

Is it possible to run a decentralized gambling platform? I know that all popular gambling platforms have no choice but to be transparent to the law to have a steady business running, but with the introduction of CBDC and yes a registered gambling platform has no choice but to accept CBDC too, and I don't trust this centralized currency, I believe CBDC will have the capability to monitor incoming and outgoing funds, so that is what makes me think if it's possible to run a decentralized gambling platform at all.
You should ask yourself one question. If you were an owner of a gambling business, would you want to create a decentralized gambling platform? What would be the cost? Will it bring higher profits? I think that a decentralized gambling platform would be less profitable than a centralized online casino, that's why decentralized gambling isn't popular. The online casino owners simply don't want to bother with decentralization. They are pretty much OK with running centralized platforms. Can a gambling business run unregulated? Or course it can, but it will have way less customers and sooner or later the authorities are doing to find out and penalize that business. I don't know about the CBDC's future impact over the gambling industry. Let's wait and see what happens after CBDCs get implemented. I think that the people who open the casinos are looking only for profit as the first thing most people that get a degree in Business Administration and Economics learn that the first objective of any private company is to maximize the profit.Since most people feel more comfortable when playing in a regulated casino that is the reason why we see more of such casinos than decentralized ones.I think the best example of a decentralized casino/sport betting site was directbet.eu as there you just placed a bet anonymously and just putted your wallet address to get the winnings in case you win your sports bet and that was all,no KYC no nothing and I doubt they were government aware which was the ultimate thing that led to its closure. |

I think that was a good alternative to people looking to not use KYC and I must admit,you only placed a bet there and putted your wallet address where you want to receive the money in case of a win and that was it.The ease of use of such site is useful but I doubt is that needed nowadays when the reputable casinos offer us everything and I truly mean everything we need to have the best betting experience ever,they go further and beyond to provide us this as we are their user base and in the end their profit.So not that I miss this a lot but it would be good if we had a copy site that operated like directbet did.

Today I am reading about skill based slot machines which is very popular among millennials. This is the first time I am reading this in my life as a gambler. All that I have known about slot machines is that the outcome is purely based on luck 1 as a result of the Random number Generator (RGN). From what I read, the major difference between this skill based slot machines and the regular/traditional ones we know is that there is a bonus round for the players to 2 display their skills which gives them a greater chance of winning. Despite this, the odds are still stacked up against the player. Has anyone here tried it out? Which do you prefer, traditional slots or skill-based slots?
1. http://bostonsportsextra.com/skill-based-slot-machines-what-are-they-and-how-they-work/2. http://web.archive.org/slot1.sbs/76959.htmlI am afraid these are old ones and you cannot find them anymore around and yes even so they are still programmed against players,in this case explicitly against human beings since some sort of skill is involved from the player when they get the bonus round,sounds like a good idea but I am assuming that these type of slots do not even come close to offering x30000-x300000 your bet. That is why I prefer more the slot machines of our days despite me being born earlier than the 2000-s and is because the slot machines of today if we hit that x300000 for example,for most of us is a life changing event,much different than playing those sort of some skill based ones. |

The hunt for the league title this season, of course, Bayern Munich wants to take over the top of the standings even though it's not a problem but this match really shouldn't be underestimated because of course it will be an interesting match for all its supporters, the focus on the UCL is also the main highlight because against Manchester city is not an easy opponent. Bayern Munich has to prepare a lot to be on the winning path.
Considering that Thomas Tuchel is the new coach for Bayern Munich, he will definitely want to show his skills in the Bundesliga and especially in the Champions League. It will be a good first impression for him if he can win matches in the Champions League and also give him the title in the Bundesliga. Not going to be a game to be underestimated for now, Thomas Tuchel will have to prove that his appointment as coach has not been a wrong move by Bayern Munich. Currently as situation is going into Bayern Munich things looking Thomas Tuchel will be having some good advantages as Julian Nagelsmann already work on this squad, and they are well settled for the big games, but now he needs to carry on with same strategy because he has no enough time to bring changes and try to change formation which is already having enough success for this club but still Thomas Tuchel is amazing coach with having good success in his credit in different clubs he will be done good things for having good end of this season and having long term contract with this club because this is dream job for every coach. Bayern Munich is currently in solid position for the two titles they are one point behind Borussia Dortmund in Bundesliga with crucial match is going to play on 1st April and after this they have quarter-final against Manchester City which is also not easy game. I think that the crucial game on 1st April is going to decide the Bundesliga title most likely as if Dortmund wins then most likely Bayern will get a big psychological hit that it will be difficult for them to overcome it.The only factor in their benefit is that usually in such crucial games Bayern gets the best out of them and usually they have won against Dortmund.Nevertheless they should not be that confident after Dortmund comes from 13 consecutive games undefeated and just one draw and 12 wins are enough numbers to scare any team including Bayern. |

Well I was not impressed at all by Poland yesterday despite them winning 1-0 against Albania,they were not that spirited and they did not create dangerous attacks,the goal was just luck,the ball hit the post and got back to a Poland striker,beside that Poland just kept defending and they were playing at their home.
Nevertheless the biggest surprise of the evening yesterday night was without a doubt Czech Republic not being able to win against Moldova at Moldova home,the odd of them was 1.18 to win,this shows that the ball is round and that we should not bet based on odds but based on our knowledge.

Recently, a Uganda pastor who won 100million shillings decided to shut down his ministry. This left me with several questions in my head, such as ' Do religious leaders gamble? Is it right for religious leaders to gamble? Knowing fully well that most of them preach against gambling in their religious places. What is the ethical and moral implications of gambling, particularly in the context of religious practices and beliefs?
Money makes a person's beliefs change every time in second, we can't argue this fact and his deceit. Maybe he builds the church just open collect donator funds and use it as capital for gambling because we don't know the depths of the pastor's heart. If I were people who live in that local residents, I will call the money auditors agency to audit all the Pastor's Money, because he might violate the rules like misappropriation of public funds. Pastors are also human beings who can be tempted by worldly life. When there is greed or the desire to get money, a person will try it and use all means to be able to have money to get what he wants. So it was very difficult to hold back their passion when he saw an opportunity to do something bad, even though he was a priest. And now, people don't know where the pastor went with his winnings while the pastor was enjoying his winnings. This was a pastor only for money as we saw from his story,he did not care much about his believers and he just followed his greed and desire for money.People don't know where he went but most probably he will be back as once a gambler always a gambler and as soon as he will lose the money no matter how much that money is,people will see him back with new ways of deceiving people,most likely telling them a story how God called him aside to make him a better person or something along these lines.He is now on the path of destruction and it will take just a short amount of time until we see what God has really done with him. |

Of course, humans can analyze things but AI cannot. We should not request AI for prediction because they have no real sense or they can't guess. But it is possible for human. Bots are only able to provide algorithmic results. No matter how advanced this AI is, it will never be able to predict future. Humans are capable of combining emotions, feelings, and situations to give an answer that is not possible through artificial intelligence. But even if they can't give information about the future they can do other tasks smoothly which is very difficult for humans.
Being unable to analyze the current event and adapt to change quickly make the use of AI in gambling ineffective and since artificial intelligence needs configuration to work effectively it is of no use and can't predict or analyze games. -There is no doubt that a lot of AI development has been on the increase lately but its usage is still limited due to some factors. Exactly,AI if it is used to "beat" the house can only be used in sport betting as you cannot beat the casino in slot machines or games of luck where the house has set what is called "the house edge" in order to make the casinos always be in profit in the long run. Now on sport betting they can give us more insights in a much shorter time span than that of which we need to analyze the game ourselves and can help us in making a decision faster but that is only for the bets we place before the game has started and once we want to make a live bet because we are watching the game live,AI has no way of helping us here,so its usage is extremely limited but as I said useful only in the bets we make before the event starts. |

I expect to see big comeback from Mercedes team in next few races and they are working on fixing some issues with their car.
This could mean that Lewis Hamilton and George Russell could win more points and finish in top positions, but main question for me is team Ferrari.
Leclerc is not doing great this season, he is no t happy with his car and I am not sure if he can repeat last year when he won Australian Grand prix.
What are your predictions for next race?
Predictions for next race for me are almost the same as this last one,the reason is simple,two weeks are not enough to change things around as we saw that Redbull has a clear advantage and is dominating the season in a big way already,all other teams have to work hard in order to close the gap first and then working their way to fight Redbull.As a start they should start to close the gap and compete against Aston Martin,they should start with them in mind as their opponents,Ferrari and Mercedes has Aston Martin to fight of first and then start to think about Redbull. Leclerc with that message in radio "staying this behind is not funny and I don't know what to do" shows all the Ferrari struggles at once.Mercedes is even worse so the predictions for next race should be the same as the last one. |

This week Lille will face Lorient and it looks like this will be an interesting match for gamblers to make their choice in the bets later. Lille will be the host, of course they will not waste this opportunity to get the maximum results to shift Rennes' position. Meanwhile, Lorient's guest is quite a match for Lille, but Lorient has a target to shift Nice's position in the standings, these two teams have the same number of points. I thought it would be a draw, but Lille had a slight lead. My score prediction is 2-1 for Lille to win.
Lille has a higher chance of winning than Lorient, which means Lille is superior on paper in the match later, as you said the result could be a draw because Lorient also needs points to be able to overtake Nice in 7th place, on the one hand Lille also wants to look good in in front of his supporters.  Lille at home is a team that usually delivers,rarely I have seen them failing miserably in front of their home fans,sure they have failed but as all teams do occasionally and I think that they are going to win this upcoming game against Lorient.Lorient is not a bad team either but I don't think they have the capability to stop Lille at home.In fact in these kind of games no one expected Nice for example sometime ago to lose at home but they did and Lille may as well fall prey to such happenings so that is why I am going to bet on both teams to score as both Lille and Lorient are teams who love scoring goals. |

This is sooooooooooo relative and let me make an analogy why we don't rush life but sometimes life rush us. Let's suppose you are a normal person that you have a family and a good job and you are happy with your life,you also like to gamble some extra money during weekends(no I am not talking about myself  ).This is your normal life and no one is rushing you at all,it is the monotony that keeps repeating itself which we consider our routine or our daily life. Now one beautiful weekend you hit that multi million dollar jackpot and your life changes dramatically for the better as you don't need to work anymore but you start your own business and become a very busy person.In this context it is life that rushes you. |

If not performing well in the Champions League and Europa League, the Barcelona team is playing very well in La Liga. Out of 26 matches they have lost only 2 matches and conceded only 9 goals. Barcelona's performance is stable because of their strong defense. And the second-placed team in the table, Madrid, is 12 points behind Barcelona. So there is no fear of Barcelona losing the title this season unless Barcelona loses the truck badly. I think Barcelona will win both Copa del Rey and La Liga this season.
I also believe that Barcelona will maintain their position at the top of the standings until the season ends. which means that getting the title at Laliga is no longer in doubt. but for the copa del rey, Barcelona's chances are still uncertain. although Barcelona had narrowly won the first leg of the semi-final against Real Madrid. but we don't know for the second leg what the result will be. because a narrow 1-0 win in the first leg does not make Barcelona completely safe. but at least the opportunities that Barcelona have are far greater than the opportunities that Real Madrid has. Barcelona has no other things to think about,they have almost secured La Liga,personally I think they have already won it and now since they are out of all the international competitions they are having a look at winning also the Copa del Rey along side the La Liga this year as such an achievement would be rated a really good one considering the time when Xavi took over them and how many changes they have made to the team. Real Madrid knows this very well and they can only make Barcelona lose the Copa del Rey if they want to do so and if they play 101% focused on this,a thing which I don't think will happen as most likely the only objective of this year for Real Madrid is to win the Champions League. |

Can anybody point me to a wallet.dat cracking service? Found an old Myriad wallet, but I forgot the pass!
Thanks
I had an old Bitcoin wallet that I had completely forgotten the password and I only remembered a couple of letters,and provided to the wallet recovery services here in the forum what I knew and he was able to crack the password in two days.Unfortunately I had confused that wallet with another and it had no Bitcoin in it,the cost of recovery is 20% fee for the service provider.He can crack also other wallets I think which use the same algorithm.Yes he cracks a lot of wallets until now the list has grown dramatically. You have the thread here,trying does not cost anything and I am very impressed by his service https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=240779.0 |

I have also been watching this time that the increase in price of Bitcoin has not produced the same result in most of the altcoins,including the well known ones like ETH and a couple of others.I think that based on such results we should narrow down our portfolio to altcoins who have a development team behind them,have a clear road map of what they want to achieve and see how much of market share they have.I personally am thinking converting back to well known coins my ideas which are ETHW that I have invested in mining to convert back to ETH or some other high market cap coin.

I meant here why people keep supporting a centralized coin against a decentralized one as it does not make sense to be in the mercy of a bunch of "people/stake validators/keepers/deciders" that decide what will be Ethereum doing in the future rather than following a decentralized coin where not a bunch of people decide anything,that was my point.
It's like sports. People start doing it primarilly for fun and exercise. If you're good it attracts money and sport becomes business. All the other reasons for doing it become less important, it's all about the money now. Who cares about decentralization and blockchain validation, it's about money now. That was sarcastic. Aha OK,my bad for not getting it,I thought how come a CPU miner developer was saying these things for real  . Then it shows that unfortunately the ETHW team is not that serious if they have not come up with a native wallet and all what other people are saying about them becomes true to me,they lack expertise and they even called some outside firm to launch their blockchain.I assume being a prominent miner (Chandler Guo) does not make you an experienced leader to lead a team in a good project like ETHW. |

Leeds are no match for Arsenal as you know. There is an enormous gap between these teams now and this game between them in Emirates should end up with a comfortable victory for Arsenal as well.
Arsenal are on a really tough road going to the championship now. They have a safe gap with Manchester City for now but is still not that wide anyway. Arsenal have no other choice than maintaining their focus until the end of the season. They just can't underestimate any of their remaining opponents. Leeds are one of them. They are a really weak team at defending. Arsenal should be able to tear them apart in my opinion.
So far this season , Leeds has been a very tough work to strong team's like Manchester United, wolves, real sociedad Manchester city and Liverpool. I know of two stubborn clubs in England who have always been a big problem to top England clubs like Manchester united, Chelsea, Liverpool and arsenal. This two clubs are Brighton and leeds . There may be a victory for Arsenal in the match against leeds but not a comfortable victory. I don't expect a comfortable victory in a match that involves Leeds and any other England strong team. That's right, leed united always did great matches against big clubs but I don't think the case will repeat against arsenal, the guners are having a very good period and they will surely not let the EPL title escape from their hands this time so i expect arsenal to win this match without many problems Normally Arsenal is going to crush Leeds as they are out of any competition after losing and being eliminated by Sporting Lisbon in Europa League with penalties.Their full focus is in the Premier League and Arsenal knows very well that the title can be won or lost against weaker teams as it is against such teams that they need extra motivation.So I know that Arsenal will take each game as a final in these last 11-12 games that have remained and they will not underestimate a single team.The crucial point will be if Arsenal will be able to win against a couple of strong teams they have to play against,if they win most likely they will be Premier League Champions this season. |

Already 2 times Ronaldo has scored a brace in this qualifying round, before he also made his name against Liechtenstein. Great results from Ronaldo for his contribution to Portugal so far, but I think it's thanks to the cool hands of new coach Roberto Martinez who has made Ronaldo even sharper up front with his teammates. Moreover, other players also listed their names on the scoreboard such as Joao Felix, Bernardo Silva, Otavio and Rafael Leao in the match against Luxembourg.
I can't say anything about Portugal last 2 wins because the opponent is not a formidable opponent compared against Liechtenstein they won 4 goals and yesterday Iceland won over Liechtenstein 7 goals meaning that Portugal's win was not very impressive because Iceland scored more goals , we can conclude when Portugal had to fight Iceland because they are more equal opponents. Maybe they are not impressive wins but as long as they get the three points their job is considered done,even if you score 4,7 or 10 goals the end result is the same and is 3 points and I doubt Portugal will have to fight on who has scored more goals to qualify in this group.When playing against such teams like Liechtenstein and Luxembourg of course the motivation of the players is very little as they already know that they will win against such weak opponents.We cannot judge Portugal with such opponents,we have to see when they will clash with a strong team and see the results and evaluate the team then,I think Portugal will qualify easily here. |

I also think Benfica have guaranteed themselves first place in the Primera Liga. 10 points is a big gap from Porto and I think Porto have no chance of catching up with Benfica. As for the upcoming game against Inter, I predict that Benfica will win. Just look at the stats of the last games of both clubs and everything becomes clear.
The performance of the Benfica team has impressed me this season. It's not just that they're doing well in the Primeira Liga. They have been able to maintain consistency in the Champions League as well. I think the team will also win against Inter Milan in the Champions League match. Their coach Roger Schmidt is doing a great job. He managed to solve the internal problems of the party. Because of this, the bond between Benfica players is very strong. And the players are very confident. If the players are confident, it is possible to win even if the opponent is a big team. benfica is an extraordinary team (That's all because Benfica's attack line is extraordinary, Mario and Ramos are at the top of the top scorers), so far in the portugal league, they have only lost 1 time while porto has lost 3 times and braga 5 times so it is very feasible for benfica to win this season. but when facing inter in the champions league later, I doubt Benfica will maintain their good performance because inter is not an easy team to beat. Speaking about their performance I don't think it will be affected. Barcelona didn't experience a decline in performance when they were Eliminated from the champion league and Europa league and they are in a stronger league than the liga Portugal. Portugal league is just like the Netherland Eredivisie. A few known clubs keeps dominating the title in every season. As it stands now in Portugal league, Benfica name has already been written as the next champions. This can be seen in their performances and they will set all system ready to achieve it at all cost I think that Portugal league is a bit stronger than Eredivisie and this I argument with the number of goals scored in total in this league compared to that of Eredivisie,in here is lower meaning the teams play stronger defensively.I agree that for this year Benfica is already the Champion of Liga Portugal and their full focus is in the Champions League.They will be facing Inter which eliminated Sporting but I think Benfica has better chances than Sporting as they play a lot better and have a bit more quality players,so I am very curious to see the first clash in Champions of Benfica at this high stage there. |
