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. |

In my opinion, keeping track of ones win/loss story can encourage to chase losses.
yes it could possibly be a trigger for someone to chase their losses, but only for some people. I'm just a small gambler here who is not rich enough and when I want to see my betting statistics, I just want to compare my winnings in the past week with the coming week and sometimes just to see the bonuses I have received in the last month. so looking at the betting statistics on this Stake, not all of them trigger to chase losses, but most of them only want to compare bets from the several periods they specify. There are other people like me who only ask statistics to see how much I have wagered so I know what to expect from the upcoming weekly boost and the monthly bonus.I never ask them to check my loses or wins as I know in the long run I like every other gambler am in the red  . On a side note Stake gave me 0.027 Litecoin as a birthday present and loved it despite me not being Platinum but only recently a Bronze VIP,so this is one of the unique bonuses compared to other casinos. |

Big Mistake for Marquez, and now he is already in a difficult position even if the season is just started with this incredible Ducati.
Bagnaia perfect weekend for him with a win yesterday and Today,
As I said looks like we are having kinda the same seasons this 2023,both in MotoGP and F1 where Redbull and Ducati are completely dominating the Championships.We are still early as we are just two races in each Championship but the sun can be spotted early in the morning and Bagnaia is in super top form while Max has found some competition in the second race from his team mate which got and won the race,with a bit of luck of course but much more performance than luck. For Marquez I think he still has chances if he does not screw up and starts thinking logically,by logically I mean to get the second spot while he can and hope that not all the races will be this easy for Bagnaia. |

Another thing is most people that came into the cryptocurrency scene especially during and after the ICO boom don't care much about decentralization unlike the crypto OGs. Most of them are just after getting rich quick, so they will bank on whatever coin/token they can.
Well,this is a big problem then,people doing what they do in normal life like grabbing whatever opportunity not caring much about how this affect other people is a big problem. Bottom line is based on what I am reading here is that people will never change and greed always gets the best of them,such a pity. "what they do in normal life ... is a big problem" Was that intended to be sarcastic? It's called capitalism. Seriously, it's the only reason there's big money in crypto. I mean for people who try to scam people and build a fortune on the shoulders of other people say we from where I am from and I think this is everywhere in the world,capitalism is great and I love it,it gives everyone equal opportunities and it is a direct reason why the world keep going forward. 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. |

Staking for long term gain is a whole lot of risk compared to just holding. Most staking platform promise insane APY that sounds to good to be true and they mostly end up becoming scam at the long run. So if long term is your plan, I'd advise you to just hold it for as long as tou want.
To avoid this you need to stake to well known non custodial wallets which you know they will be with us,I say wallets because I rarely have seen any going away while I have seen a lot of exchanges,even super big ones fail miserably,FTX being the latest in these events.I personally stake Zilliqa in Atomic Wallet and the rewards they promise,they keep growing every day in my balance,I know I can withdraw them anytime,my only regret is not having much more money to buy and stake much more Zilliqa than my 8,000 which gives me about 2.5 Zilliqa a day in rewards from staking. |

Manchester United is now just 1 point ahead of Tottenham and just 3 points ahead of Newcastle. And if Manchester United are not able to increase this gap, it will be difficult for them to qualify for the Champions League. Losing points in the last two matches, the Manchester United team is now a bit behind. They will play against Brentford in the next match. Brentford is a strong team this season. It will be difficult for Manchester United to win this match. Manchester United will lose third place in the table if they do not win this match.
But Manchester United has 2 matches pending, so their chances of staying in third place are quite high, different with Tottenham and also Everton may not be easy to beat at Goodison Park. Regarding Manchester United vs Brentford match, I don't think there will be a problem for Ten Hag, he can definitely motivate this team to win and get three points in that match, considering previously they have been beaten very bad by Brentford. Manchester United has been in a better shape than Newcastle during all the season.They have been playing better than Newcastle or Tottenham except the beginning of the season where Manchester started with some really bad results.I think that the team will win both games that they have less and this will give them a good boost to their season.Let's not forget that they are the main favorites to win the Europa League also having managed to eliminate one of the strongest teams of Europa League which is Barcelona and since then Manchester has been in top form with some small mistakes in games like the draw against Crystal Palace.I think that Manchester will definitely be in the top 4 in the end of the season. |

if a casino chooses to use AI for increased security and easier work, that's fine for me but the problem here is if a casino uses AI in customer support it will make angry customers feel dissatisfied with the service.
because if service support is held by AI, in the end, every complicated question and slightly difficult problem will not be resolved because bots answer according to what has been designed.
but if it's for the casino's advantage like speeding up system performance, that's very good.
AI is indeed a big help for the security purposes of any site, that can easily be used to determine fraud and suspicious transactions, let’s just hope that they will still go for the due process and not purely rely on AI since we don’t know its efficiency. Also, using AI for customer support is not good they barely solve your concern and some companies already have this but the issues remain unsolved. Perhaps, they want to try support services using AI technology and see how their customers react. If customers complain about AI performance, then the casino should fix the AI flaws and maybe they don't need AI to help casinos deal with customer complaints. Maybe AI is not yet able to solve problems for customers, but it could be achieved in the future when AI technology has developed faster. If customers have more complaints about unsatisfactory AI service, the casino should be able to listen to those complaints and fix them immediately. It will be difficult for AI to fix customer problems as AI is just a database full of information and is trained and fine-tuned to reply to difficult situations.No matter that they can do that,each customer has a different problems and as such AI is not well established right now as technology and cannot be a good tool to assist in customer support problems.Even if AI becomes much better in technology with the passing of time I doubt it can substitute a real human to deal with other human beings as humans get along much better with each other rather than talking to a bot.I know that most well reputable sites in their customer support they start with some form of AI,they start with a bot but just to ask the first questions and then they pass on the case to a human. |

Are Nvidia CMP graphic cards good mining cards? I have a friend who want me to buy two of these card from him because he plans to leave the city and relocate, the CMP GPUs are the 90HX model, anyone still mining altcoins with this graphic cards? Especially the performance on kaspa is needed.
It is a relatively old card but as long as it can provide you like the hash rate of over 500 Mhsh and if you are in for the long run but not for the quick buck,then it is not that bad of a card.It was released in the year 2021 and is a relatively good card for mining but you will have problems selling it as most people do not buy these type of cards and favor other type of cards.In my opinion if you get these cards cheap enough and if you want to accumulate much KAS then go ahead and buy them as even the power consumption is not that bad. |

Guys what the heck is going on between Kazakhstan and Denmark? I have no idea what the odds were, I wish I would have checked them just for fun, but they turned a 0-2 until the 73rd minute into a 3-2 for Kazakhstan. The odds have probably been around 100 at minute 70, if not 150.
This shows how unpredictable soccer can also be. I would have never expected that and I haven't read anything so far, but I will watch the summary for sure. If you turn that game around you must have deserved it unless the referee did a bad job, but how bad could a job be such that Denmark loses after a 2-0 lead.
I had them both teams to score as I thought Kazakhstan will at least score a goal.I had in another ticket Denmark to win and holy f*ck if I am shocked when I saw a lost ticket because of this.Truly football is unpredictable and I think Denmark underestimate their opponents after winning 0-2 the first half,they most probably thought that they already secured victory and let the guard down.Of course the referees in every football game impact them for the good or for the bad depending on the case and we all know that every referee gives about 3-5% more fouls and favors a bit more the home team.Even so Denmark showed that they do not deserve to come to the Euro 2024 after this horrible game,well done to Kazakhstan for this historic victory. |

One of my favorite teams teams will be playing today. Akwa Utd vs Shooting Stars. Akwa United has been performing well in the league and tip them to win in this match against shooting stars that had been performing poorly this season. Even when their standings are compared on the table, you would see that Awka United is at the 5th position on the table while their opponent is at 13th position. My bet is on Akwa United. It looks like it will go this way but from what I have seen from Nigerian Premier League is that surprise results here happen more commonly than in other leagues,in fact the few times I have bet on this league I have always lost money but I don't blame it,I blame me for not following this league that often.In fact I may follow your bet if the odd is good enough,it should be about 1.75 based on the positions you described these teams being on the table.I always like goals betting or both teams to score betting more than I like money lines so an over 2.5 goals can be a good bet since the Shooting Stars is performing poorly. |

I don't think chasing loses will bring any benefit to a gambler.Gamblers who keep playing,do so for a reason,they are still expecting to hit that huge jackpot or big win otherwise without any objective and motivation closing up on gambling is really easy.To make it further look good most casinos offer you benefits the longer you play with them,with rakeback which is giving you something back for every bet you make at that casino,so if you win,you get some small amount on top of it from rakeback,if you lose,you have that rakeback as a consolation prize.Different strategies keep people gambling but the main one is to hit a huge jackpot or a huge payout. |

Today the Portugal MotoGP Full Race will take place soon and my prediction is almost the same as yesterday where the Race will take place fiercely, but from the results of yesterday's Sprint Race I found that Honda Motorbikes this season look very weak and I think Marquez himself is very aware of this so he took advantage of his towing momentum to set the best time and also yesterday he took advantage of another gap on the final lap to get third on the podium when Oliveira overtook Miller at the first corner after the straight.  Since Marquez is out from the second lap already it means that he is well aware of the limiting in his Honda moto this time and he probably pushed to hard going out of track/crashing,the other Repsol Honda is not doing well also.Bagnaia is dominating the race in these first few laps as we are on lap 7 already and there is Aprilia just up there less than 0.5 seconds in gap.It is early to make predictions but it looks like this season is going to be an easy one for Bagnaia as I don't see any other competitor so far bringing serious trouble to him despite being early as I said,as they say the sun can be spotted already early in the morning. |

It was an unexpected draw from Croatia. Considering their success in the world cup, they were seen as the favorites of this group. Now a difficult away from Turkey awaits Croatia. If they lose points there too, this group will be one of the most interesting groups. Turkey, Wales and Croatia are the three strong teams of the group. It's hard to predict which two will come out.
To some extent, Wales were lucky, but this does not negate the fact that Croatia will be the leader of this group, in subsequent rounds they will quickly change the situation in their favor. Turkey and Wales will fight for the second place. Croatia created many chances and they should have scored more, but instead Wales' only shot on target became a goal. Good defensive play by Wales also played an important role, but Croatia deserved to win this match. It is true that Croatia played better, it is not easy to argue otherwise. But Wales also played very smartly, they managed to score points in this match thanks to their last minute goal. I think all three teams in this group have a chance. The most critical match of the group will be played between Croatia and Turkey. If Turkey wins this match, something unexpected may happen and Croatia may have a chance to leave the group. It will be quite exciting  I have already warned in this discussion about the fact that Croatia always has problems with the game and the results at the beginning of each qualification. The tradition of weak results of the Croatian national football team at the beginning of each qualifying cycle continued, but it is excessive to draw some conclusions based on one match. Croatia has a better and more experienced team than Wales and Turkey, and don't forget that as a participant in the final tournament of the League of Nations, they have a guaranteed place in the additional qualification for the EURO even if they finish third in the group. I don't think it will come to that and Croatia is still the favorite of this group. They should have routinely won this game, but they didn't have enough concentration at the end of the game and that decided the result. It looks so but the fact that Wales took a point at Croatia home means they most likely will give them trouble when they will face Croatia at their home in the return leg.Also Turkey is not a weak team either despite being a team with a lot of volatility and a lot of inconsistency it can create problems to any team and they started with a win.The group is easy for Croatia when it comes to qualifying even if they are third in the group but I also do not believe that they will end third in this group.I doubt the players of Croatia will lose this last chance to win a trophy together and go to win the Euro 2024 as they are old and this will be the last tournament they will be playing together. |

I live in Australia and we have no taxes on all gambling winnings (lottery, hose racing, sports betting and casinos).
I know the USA has gambling taxes and I think it's ridiculous.
You are risking your own money and if you win you are penalised.
I'm curious as to how many other users have to pay taxes on their winnings.
Where I am they don't tax people who risk their money but they do tax a lot the casinos and gambling houses and this in turn is translated to bigger house edges compared to other countries when talking about casino games which has a house edge.There was a time when the operators wanted to put a percentage tax on sport bet winning tickets like 2-6% of the winning to go to the house but they saw that people left such platforms in favor of ones who did not apply this and as such this was never implemented for real. When it comes to government forcing taxes on us,no they don't do it,some years ago they ban them completely but people still found ways to play and recently they are not banned anymore. |

I'm afraid not, because when you lose -50% you need to double your investment to cover the whole loss. That is to say you need to get +100%. So here to cover half of a -50% drop you would need to earn +50% during the year.
50sat - 50% = 25sat
25sat + 25% = 31.25sat
(50sat - 31.25sat) / 50sat = 37.5%
This means the loss will be worth -37.5% instead of being -50%. So "only" 25% of the loss will be covered actually.
I'm not saying it's a bad investment, I think the opposite actually, it's a very good one if you are gambling there.
Oh sorry, I meant to say that the returns would cover SOME of the loss, not all of it. Don't worry I knew/know very well I am in a big loss now (50% unrealized, because 25% has not actually been completed). Although one very important thing to note here is that my original investment was made more than a year ago. So in fact, I have already made my first 25% which expired and reinvested it all in October. So in October 2023, I would have made 56% (25% compounded) on my original investment... Which still puts me at about 25% loss anyway. Now the best thing about this is if I reinvest one final year... I'll get close to double my original FUN. Only THEN will I break even at 50% BTC loss. But get 3 years worth of WoF of course hehe I think it is better to think in investment terms,the more FUN you make passively and if you can wait that long you will be winning in the long run as the Bitcoin price will surely recover and when the next bull run will come you will be a happy person.I know that now it is a great moment to invest in the site as the price of 1 FUN token is cheaper with the recovery of the price of Bitcoin and anyone can start if they want. I am doing the same except I prefer a coin which has more potential and better price,I am buying Zilliqa and staking them for 15% during the year,I also have many FUN tokens staked also which means that this is a good strategy investment. |

I thought that he was a true lucky person and never thought that it was a scam despite me thinking how come that no other user in the forum have posted such a big win,I checked out the replay and I loved what I saw there,most probably they were playing with FUN money in the casino.This was a sophisticated scam attempt I must admit and the OP bringing this up here is a great example of showing how sophisticated the scams have become.I never play in a casino who asks me to connect my wallet except only in casinos that I can deposit money to their internal wallet,so the lesson to be learned from everyone here at least in my understanding is never play in a casino which asks you to connect your wallet,as it is most likely a scam to drain your wallets.

For instance, you can watch this video explaining how to benefit from a bonus by risking only $0.50 or so...
Is this a good way in your opinion to actually "make money" from gambling or not - what's your opinion? Don't expect though that even by risking such a low amount, everything is a sure win. A tournament is really hard to compete in when it's not just you who are eyeing a great position in the leaderboard. Aside from skills, luck is really a big factor to win as you can expect that there are lots of users who will join that tournament. A good way to make money is if the bettor is always doing that and already have good results. Not a good way for those who are not used to doing it. Make sure to take part in tournaments where if you hit a certain wager requirement you are eligible for a prize.Pragmatic Play with their drop and wins favors the people who have a high balance and play with a low bet in their favorite game,this way the sum of all their bets wagered will be counted and the one with the most wagered amount from 1st to 50 or 100 place will get a prize.This is a really great way for example if you have the intention of playing 500 dollars there with 0.20 or 0.10 bet depending on each of their eligible games for this promotion.I always give a shot despite my max amount played is 50 to 75 dollars,so far I have won once the last prize which was 20 dollars,nothing exceptional but you get the idea. |

What the f*ck did Croatia just do.After a spectacular second night for betting where all games came as expected Croatia got and drew at their home field in front of their fans against Wales.This is not a great start to their Euro 2024 campaign and I am not caring much about me losing my bet as I had placed little money in a parlay them with Romania to win but in general,when I just checked now and I saw that my balance did not grow I check my settled bet and saw the 1-1 draw,that is the biggest surprise of tonight results and normally these results will happen as otherwise how will the bookies make money.

Barcelona really want to win the Copa Del Rey title this season, they are very serious about their hopes of getting to the final. Indeed, it is difficult to expect all the titles according to expectations, especially when Real Madrid is the opponent.
The good fact is that Barcelona have proven difficult things to be easy this season. Beating Real Madrid is always difficult, but they have done it 3 times this season which is a fantastic record. I can expect a draw in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey, that's still better than losing and failing to make it to the final.
According head to head against Real Madrid in this season seems have potential for Barcelona winning Copa del Rey trophy in this season after having winning capital on semifinal first leg. Barcelona have advantage for second leg against Real Madrid in Copa del rey because playing home and potential for winning again after success win last games in La Liga from Real Madrid. Barcelona have consistent performance in this season between La Liga and Copa del rey, but winning 1 goal on first leg still not guarantee with Barcelona get comfortable position with home match because Real Madrid have comeback mentality and winning second leg match. Didn't Real Madrid just lost against Barcelona in this El Classico for the La Liga not that many time ago,about 2 weeks ago or something similar,Barcelona came back and won the game.They are in a better psychological shape than Real Madrid as they are leading comfortably La Liga and they are not taking part in other competitions like Real Madrid is and they know they are already Champions of La Liga so they will try to win the Copa del Rey too and call it a really good season.Real Madrid on the other hand is focusing exclusively on the Champions League as they know they have no possibilities to win La Liga and I don't think they will sweat a lot in the return leg of Copa del Rey either,they have only one objective now and that is the Champions League. |
