So any facts found in the gambling system according to the OP's statement are based on video reviews from YouTube, but we agree with your discussion above that we place gambling only as entertainment and not passive income, so we choose sports gambling because pure winnings are determined based on match scores and not from the casino system.
Yes, but bookmakers sometimes cheat, as well as the sports clubs themselves involved in match-fixing, you can also lose your money in sports betting as well as in online casino slot machines, provided that you really strive for a quick income.

Well, of course, if you do it moderately and under the mood, then yes, it can be fun.
You will definitely lose the money that you are destined to lose, no matter what you do, and if you are supposed to win, you will win even if there is an attempt to cheat by the bookmaker or anyone. We all know and understand that sports betting is more dependent on research and analysis than luck, but we also know that it is a part of gambling, and there is no win in gambling if there's no luck at all.

I think a bookmaker who cheats will eventually be out of business as they can't really hide that forever, and once they get success in cheating, they will definitely do it multiple times again and will be caught sooner or later. And the teams or clubs that get involved in match-fixing are also ruined slowly because we have seen in the past that no cheater can hide in the dark forever and they will have to be exposed some day.

sports matches are indeed different from casino gambling, where there may be greater opportunities in sports betting as long as we have proper research before choosing the team we will place bets on. every time doing research on sports betting, it's like closer to our luck to win the game.

but from all the predictions made and from all the research done, don't forget that sports betting always brings unexpected surprises.
It is obviously not completely predictable and the end result will still depend on an individual's luck. One should always keep in mind that the outcome can always go against them even if the odds of losing are just 1% because we have seen that happening in the past. It is just best if a person just realizes that, accepts whatever the outcome is, and moves on with it.

The only thing is sports betting that gives a person a little bit of advantage is if they do some research and analysis, that will increase their chances of winning a bet, but even after that, there is no guarantee and as you said, the result can always surprise you.
423  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Need Suggestions About Investment in new projects on: March 21, 2023, 03:23:04 AM
Obviously, the topic was created to shill a specific project Smiley

It is possible and necessary to invest in new projects if you want to get the most out of your investment. It is no secret that new projects bring the highest interest to their investors, if they have time to fix their profits and do not get greedy. As for this project, I would not invest in it. This is not investment advice, but only my subjective opinion. I do not know any successful project with the learn-to-earn business model, all of them, sooner or later, will die because of the lack of liquidity and the flow of new money into the ecosystem.
You are probably right that OP is shilling the project that he provided a link for and in my honest opinion, a project that requires such shilling never really deserves investing in. If a project is genuine and has a notable cause and products and services that serve a purpose and has something to offer to their investors and users, they would use normal marketing techniques to advertise their project, not like this.

Projects that have nothing else than a pump-and-dump token that they utilize to collect money through ICO investors will always have something that shows their reality. It is just that a person evaluating the project should have a keen eye for detail.

have you thought about the losses in exchange for the material gains ? When you barely make ends meet, you'll bust yourself to make more money; when you actually make a lot of money, you'll find yourself in a position that is either stressful or boring. I wonder the purpose of making money can be easily distorted and sometimes we tend to lose ourselves in pursuit of money, instead of happiness. Just a fleeting thought, no big deal.
Well, I think it depends on every individual's personal choices and ways of how they see and chase their dreams. It is true that we spend the most precious times of our lives in pursuit of money and wealth, and when we achieve that, we already have missed a lot of beautiful moments and times of our lives with our loved ones.

But, that's what a man has to do unless they inherit the wealth from their ancestors and live their lives only nurturing and increasing it so that they can live their life easier. We never have a lot of choices when it comes to either earning money or living our lives with our loved ones. We can barely choose the later since we have to earn to live life.

It is not easy for psg in the Champions league. The champions league is the toughest league you can think  of. PSG is leading the French league because their are no strong teams that can challenge PSG.
The champions has many strong teams competing to get the championship.
in the champions league, PSG is the favorite team to win, but seeing the quality of their performance in the last few matches, I doubt they will be able to win the champions league, the thing that really doesn't make sense to me is because they were beaten by Rennes twice this year just. that means rennes is a stronger team than PSG, totally unexpected.
It's time for wake up because PSG is already eliminated by Bayern Munich from the Champions League, and now they are having just Ligue 1 title to win while their lost at home against Rennes is surely shocking for the fans and many punters because I read on different social media channels many put their money just because they feel this is free money but star-studded PSG were not able to score any goal and then give good win to visitors in presence of Messi and Mbappé here players body language is clearly showing things are not good at PSG, and we can expect good changes in coming days because management is also not happy with this start studded team which fail to give them good results in all competitions.
426  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Random Number Generator and it's importance in Online Casinos on: March 19, 2023, 08:10:58 PM
Personally, I feel that the RNG is the most important tool by which gamblers can measure an online casino's fairness, transparency, accountability, and honesty and that it operates in an ethical manner. For me this is the major role of the RNG in the online gambling industry.
I don't measure the casino's overall honesty thru RNG personally because, in the first place, I don't have the technical knowledge to know deeply how provably fair the game is. I always looked at their established reputation as a main factor in choosing the best online casinos.

At some point, I believed a reputable casino won't likely cheat by manipulating the algorithm of RNG or any related stuff.

Aside from the casino's reputation, another factor of mine is to always stick with the famous casino game providers since these providers won't be present at most casinos if their service is sh*tty and not trustworthy.
Majority of the players don't do that in my opinion, all they look for are some reviews and opinions of the community to trust a casino. Some also see if a casino is old or new or how many players it has. Different ways for different people to measure the honesty and trustworthiness of a casino platform.

An average gambler is never very technical to understand difficult terms and things including RNG and provably-fair systems, etc. They just look at the things that they can understand and start gambling right away.

ico-calendar.com
I have a question and a concern about the service you are providing. You said that the banner space costs 5,000 euros per week and the website gets about 1,500 visitors per day, etc. Do you have any screenshots or something to prove that what you said is actually true? The rate you are asking for just a banner space is too much in my opinion.

One can easily get a lot of better ad spaces if one simply uses Google ads. What's so special about your website? Your rates are too high compared to other legit and genuine advertising services.

Stay calm and don't panic, that's the key to successful Bitcoin investment. If you want to get big profits in the short term, then investing $ 100 for bitcoin will not make big profits, the investment formula basically lies in the amount of capital you have. If you buy bitcoins in large quantities, the profit you get will automatically be greater.

The issue of bullish or bearish market conditions is technical and how you take advantage of buying or selling bitcoins that you have, but for the short term the profits of investing in bitcoins will adjust to the capital you have.
Well, I would personally never recommend a newbie who is just starting his career with Bitcoin to invest more than $100 only to get more profit, I would even suggest they start lower than that. I know you are just trying to give him knowledge about it, and I know what you said is correct that the amount of profit depends on the size of the capital invested.

But, you should also tell him that what he has and is willing to start with is enough to learn the basics and to start their journey with Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. They will eventually learn to earn more profits over time, but the main thing is to understand how everything works.

This is really a very special season for Napoli as they can even make it to the finale with this level of performance.

It mostly depends on what team they will face until that round of course. They got a lucky draw for the quarter finals in fact. Milan are one of the teams that can eliminate as long as they apply their usual game plan. Napoli have already been much more successful than Milan in this season. They beat Milan in San Siro in the Serie A also. I expect them to eliminate Milan by winning both games here too. A finale like Manchester City - Napoli would definitely be interesting. But I just can't see a finale without Real Madrid for this season too.
Surprises after surprises from Napoli in this season as no one was expecting performance like this from them in both competitions, but they are standing alone with their amazing performance and quality with 18 points lead after 26 rounds is clearly giving them title into their pocket with now their main focus in Champions League because they are in last four with most chances they can go through into final as well with AC Milan is also unpredictable team which is giving poor performance for the last few weeks even they have draw match at home against Salernitana which is giving how they are doing right now but their performance against Tottenham was good so here edge is going with Napoli, but we can expect any team game as AC Milan is also tried their best for the win and have spot into last four as well after this good time in Champions League.
430  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: High gas fee for sending token is still a problem on: March 17, 2023, 11:26:08 PM
I have more interest in altcoins than bitcoin because they give more ROI, but we are not in a bull market yet and Ethereum gas fee keeps surging since yesterday, it is fair if you are sending ETH from a wallet to another but the real deal is when you plan to send tokens from a wallet to another, the gas is high and this makes me wonder what will happen in a bull market, because most of my tokens are on Erc-20 chain, what is a good way to be prepared for this?
I think there might have been an issue yesterday with the gas fees of Ethereum because I saw another post with the same complaint as well, but if we check on the ETH gas station, the fees are not that high at the moment. Maybe there was a sudden spike for some reason and then it normalized later, I'm not sure but it isn't something normal.

I don't believe that this is happening because of network congestion or due to a high number of transactions, but it is more like a glitch or an error within the network. It must be resolved already, and if not, it should be shortly.
431  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod] on: March 17, 2023, 02:11:52 AM
Usman Khawaja having good tours of Subcontinent which helps him for having second spot in batting list, but England is surely best team in this competition even they fail to qualify for the final second time.
England is overdependent on a few of the players, such as Ben Stokes, James Anderson, Joe Root and Stuart Broad. When some of these players are unavailable, their performance go down the drain. Because England surprisingly seems to have an issue in finding younger players, despite the fact that they have the best domestic cricket system in the world. On top of that, they haven't performed credibly in sub-continental conditions. Australia has been far more consistent under such conditions, especially under the captaincy of Steve Smith.
This is not new problem for the England because despite having world's best domestic system they have never been ideal team to have replacements for their star players just because of this England face problems sometime these gone for long time, and they have to done things which help them for having better replacements on right time like right now they can bring few good players for the test format from their counties into England A side or their academy as well which help this player for having better environment to replace his star player while he is not fit for the time being or going to announce his retirement.

Currently, they have few outstanding bowlers and two good batsmen which are holding them for having better results, so it's good time for them to check their available resources and start their work for timely replacement.

Feyenoord really finished off Shakhtar Donetsk, in the 55th minute (when this post was made) they were already 4 - 0 up with an aggregate of 5 - 1, at first I doubted they could beat Shakhtar easily, but in their home match, they proved that what i think is wrong. I luckily forgot to put Shakhtar on my betting list. BTW, will there be 2 more goals in this match? I intend to place an over bet.

I was expecting Feyenoord win but didn't expect 7 goals from them. And they did it only in 2/3 of the game. They stopped pressing and attacking in last period of the game. Sure it was a bad night for Shakhtar Donetsk, they scored a goal in last minutes. Nice run and one touch came from youngster Kevin Kelsy. He was probably the only positive thing for Ukrainian side today.

Sevilla eliminated Fenerbahçe but it was way harder than expected. They saw how important was the two goals lead in first game. It could've gone to extra time. Anyway they are in quarter final now. They'll learn from this loss and be happy to advance, they are still the favorite of this cup.
Feyenoord is the best team in this season from Dutch League with they are at the top and now have spot into quarter-final round with their next match at domestic league against Ajax is going to have big impact on league table as well but as they play today I have feeling things could be not easy for opponent even they are playing at home Shakhtar Donetsk is surely suffering badly, and now it's time for them to have some work on their weak points which will help them in next season as well.

Sevilla is doing good in this competition with now they are also in last eight round even they are near the relegation zone in La Liga but things looking impressive here for them and their performance is also good even I have feeling they are not going to win because currently we have few tough opponents as well as Manchester United, Juventus and Feyenoord but still they are also impressive.
433  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: March 16, 2023, 06:11:51 PM
You mean City will have to wait for Arsenal to lose point so they can build up from there?. With Arteta pressure in the PL i don't see Arsenal losing points that much this season again not after Jesus recovery. As for the premier league title i think Pep should better forget about it and focus on the Champions League where the have been doing excellently well.
I don't understand why you guys seem unsure about the possibility that Arsenal may still drop few points and chance for the title. In fact I really believe Arsenal will not win all the games against Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea and that will cost them some points. If Arsenal loses 6 points from those 3 matches while Manchester City loses 3 points, then I think Manchester City will take the throne this season.

Even though Arsenal currently have 5 points more than Manchester City, that doesn't mean they will win the title. I believe Manchester City has a chance to make Arsenal regret this season, but I can't predict the future, especially in the remaining 11 games of the season.
Right now, position is unpredictable at the top between these two teams with Arsenal having three matches which can cost them this title but if they are able to have 4 or 5 points from these matches then surely things could be in their favour, and they will be able to win title after few years but all these matches which are against top teams are not easy specially Manchester City and Liverpool are in strong position at home, and they can give them below for the title but here Manchester City is also having problems so if they are also going to lose anything in coming matches then surely Arsenal could be at the top because their performance and quality is amazing and now with the arrival of Gabriel Jesus things are improved for them, and they can play aggressive game against all top teams for the title race.
434  Economy / Economics / Re: Why do people stay poor? on: March 16, 2023, 03:14:23 PM
I myself am confused on why you’re asking why people remain poor and I think you created this thread for the fun of it. So, for the fun of it, I’ll drop my opinion on why people remain poor.

There are a lot of reasons on why poor folks remain poor and wealth creation is at the root of it all. The ability and opportunity to build and sustain wealth is not there for everyone.

The opportunities to create wealth is not readily available to the common man. And even if it were, the common man wouldn’t willingly part with his wee funds at hand. Inflation or any other economic crisis would hit the common man much harder than it would the rich individual.

I don’t think anyone would willfully choose to remain poor. Everyone(at least the people that I know) likes the good things life has to offer and would want to acquire valuable and luxury items. No one wants to dwell in poverty. Generally, we live in a capitalist society where money is used to create more wealth thus increasing the gap between the rich and the poor. And the poor individual barely has enough money to live on.
Well, that's the harsh reality of the world we live in, only the rich are getting richer because to make money, you need money, and poor people don't have the money they can use to generate more money. So they remain poor, not by choice or will but due to the situations and the constitutions of our countries and the world.

There is poverty in almost every corner of the world, at some places, too severe, and governments or authorities barely do anything to make things better, as I said earlier, they use their money to make more money for the future of their own and their loved ones while the poor survive.
435  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Serious topic, have these bookmakers ever robbed you? [Discussion] on: March 16, 2023, 10:03:40 AM
Guys I need experienced help from someone who has already bet on these bookies.

I'm curious about your experiences with them because I've heard a lot of negative comments about how they lock accounts, steal money, ask for a mountain of documents that are impossible to get and therefore you can't withdraw money from the account. I've read a lot of ugly comments about them, but I'm interested in who can honestly tell me with experience how you fared with those bookmakers?

They are in the list:
22 bet
megapari
uberlucky
Though the best experience is to experience it yourself. You could try them out with small amounts of deposits, but anyway. Mega Pari has its own thread here in the forum, here it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5418423.0

You can check and read the comments and reviews of users on their threads to have a general idea about their services. About the other two, I'm not really sure, maybe you should check on Google but also wait for other users to share their experiences with them and then evaluate their services based on the reviews you received on this thread.

Thanks for this, and it just shows that,

1. AI is not really that complete as this stage
2. Still based on us, on how we are going to enrich that AI

So it's good to test it, but don't expect something complete. I know few of the sites that mention there, but there could be more missing in the list, obviously.
There can be two reasons why the list is not complete.
1. ChatGPT's information is only limited until 2021, and it has no knowledge of anything that has happened after that.

2. You will need to specifically mention in your prompt that you need all the available items to be on the list, otherwise, it will just generally pick some of the from the data it has and present them to you.

Overall, you are right that AI is still not as complete as people think it is, and even the information it provides can sometimes be wrong, though presented very rightly. So, it is always better to check the generated information before using them just to avoid problems.
437  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: March 16, 2023, 05:21:18 AM
PSG are just getting close to announcing their championship in the league every week. The gap with Marseille has become 10 points already.

I don't see any way Marseille are catching up with them from now on. Because they aren't even consistent these days. After losing to PSG home this time they got a draw against Strasbourg home. Balerdi's incident just finished them. Strasbourg aren't even one of the decent teams in the league this season. They are trying to hold onto the Ligue 1 not to relegate. Marseille need to play more carefully in such games to finish them without point loss.
Inconsistency is the key problem for Marseille as they failed to grab three points in league games which could have boosted them closer to PSG. While PSG dominates their home league, there isn't a very competitive fight for the Ligue One championship this year. Marseille was the lone rival for the Parisians, but it appears that they were unable to catch the men of Christophe Galtier. There is a significant 10 point difference between Marseille's 17W, 5D, and 5L in 27 games this season and PSG's 21W, 3D, and 3L. The indications are that PSG will win the title once more this season as this campaign draws to a close.
Consistency is big problem for the all top teams other than PSG in Ligue 1 as we can watch mostly are fail to give their best and now having troubles for retaining their spots at top spot Monaco suddenly facing serious trouble and now lost 7 points from their last three games, and now they are at fourth with Lens now also having improvement after few poor weeks which is challenging for the Monaco and their hopes for the third spot Rennes are also going down with another team which lost their 7 points in last five games Marseille is relatively better but still looking for the improved results which helps them for staying at the second spot even now title hopes are ended and PSG are clearly going to lead the table for another title after losing their another broken dream defeat against Bayern Munich.
438  Economy / Marketplace / Re: What do you buy/want to buy with crypto? on: March 15, 2023, 05:55:55 PM
It sounds like you have created an innovative platform that merges the world of physical goods and cryptocurrency, potentially offering an alternative option for buyers and sellers. It sounds like an exciting project, and I wish you the best of luck as you expand the platform.
They did create a platform but as it seems, they got a lot of work to do to really make it work and attract users towards it. The web layout and design both need upgrades or at least some touch-ups, some of the buttons and stuff don't really look nice to the eye, especially the ones in the header along with social media links.

If they really want to run this service and want to attract more users and buyers and sellers for their marketplace, they will have to make a lot of changes very quickly. Even if it's in private beta, it's still not ready.
439  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is for the strong. on: March 15, 2023, 04:54:19 PM
investing in crypto is also another alternative when you really lose at gambling you should look for other alternatives to look for ways to get capital money back from that alternative because if gambling continues you will continue to experience losing even more money, so there must be other alternatives to make up for the previous loss . although gambling and investing are not much different.
Gambling and investing in cryptocurrencies are too much different than each other in nature, but, you can say that it is a gamble if you invest your money into a project or a token without doing any research at all, in that case, you are just gambling your money away, and the outcome will totally depend on your luck.

When investing in cryptocurrencies, you have the option to choose the best and also the worst, and that depends on how you want to play with your money. Also, a gambler wouldn't really have enough patience to invest in a cryptocurrency and then wait until it goes up so that they can get a profit, they are in habit of getting results very quickly.
440  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A costly gambling mistake on: March 15, 2023, 02:01:23 PM
I'd actually say at some sense casinos are at fault (some of them) since they sometimes intentionally put put notices like these in obscure places. I do understand that users need to read the TOS before anything else, but a friendly reminder can go a long way, say before your first time deposits or first time games.

I'd also blame the majority of the internet for this,. They pretty much made your average user to not think much of rules, especially on websites. Can't blame them though, TOS are sometimes so unintuitive that it's just an absolute pain to read, especially if English wasn't your first language.
Why is the internet to be blamed for users who don't bother reading rules or terms and conditions? I don't think that any service or website that offers something that involved monetary value doesn't encourage or ask its consumers to read its rules or terms and conditions. In fact, online services encourage reading terms and services more than traditional service providers.

I think only a user is to be blamed if they don't read the terms and conditions and then get stuck in a situation that wouldn't even be if they had read them in the first place.
