I did not expect Leipzig to not win tonight but they have been not consistent enough in their recent games and it was my fault that linked them together with Dortmund to make a better odd and to win my parlay.It was a bad weekend for betting as in many leagues happened surprise results,I should have picked Dortmund alone as they are fighting for the Bundesliga while Leipzig is just barely fighting for a spot in European competitions.Tomorrow Bayern is forced to win but I don't think their odds will be high enough as to make it a good bet,most probably tomorrow we should use a bet builder,Bayern wins,Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score so we can get a decent odd.

hahaha man, we have less games this round, and also we have so many strange results,  but the most idiot and unpredictable was..... YES Totenham, what a bunch of clowns they are, not only because they played against the last team in the positions, but also they were 3-1 up!

And thinking in UCL places, how you can give this help to the other teams who are following you.

I knew that we would see a lot of surprise results during tonight games,it was strange that 3 games before them came exactly as predicted,something that extremely rarely happen in the Premier League.Both Brentford and Tottenham screw all of us,especially Brentford I had them in every ticket as that was the huge belief I had they should have won comfortably against Leicester,probably they were a bit tired from playing on Wednesday.I am assuming the guys who place unconventional predictions like a lot of draws have made a lot of points during such round.

I picked Verstappen for pole position and he was a big favourite for that as well. But here we are seeing him being out of the challenge in Q2 already. This is a motorsport and everything can change anytime. He had a serious problem with engine and couldn't continue later on. I thought Alonso wouldn't be on podium in the BSFL as well but now he has a big chance to go for it.

Leclerc also got a grid penalty of 10 places as you know. Things are going on really interesting on this race week so far.

I also had Verstappen picked up for pole position and honestly did not expect the people who are in top ten,despite me being happy for Piastri who made a great performance this time for McLaren making them starting from the first top ten tomorrow.I am also not changing my picks as I am happy with just 2 EBP points.Things for tomorrow look complicated and that is why I choose to not change anything,I expect a beautiful race for tomorrow and wonder what is the odd of Verstappen winning it,most likely Redbull will fix their things up and they can win the race if they are helped by some Safety Car for example.

Just go and check the Stake website chat,usually in weekends you will see over 80k people online up to over 100k which is a great number for a single site offering gambling and this paired with what you said it might be true.We all know that most of the world population love to gamble as most of the world population is poor and want to be rich quickly overnight and thus they find gambling as the fastest way to do so.The result is a lot of people become addicted but there is a great geolocation indicator and that is gambling is played much more in poor countries than in rich ones for example you have much more gamblers in the Balkan than you have in Nordic countries.

I thought I was smart enough to start with the 3 points from yesterday game but when I checked the pool results a dozen other participant had gotten the 3 points from yesterday game.This round is very short in term of games with just 7 games in total and maybe won't affect much the positions that we are in so far but can prove also a deciding round if the remaining games gives us a lot of surprise results and very few people get a lot of points,I am afraid this is going to happen as there are exactly three games that have come as expected so far in the Premier League including Brighton and Brentford games.

Slot admin I assume you are saying about those guys in the physical casinos which come and change the RTP as they like,I used to work several years ago in a physical casino and the guy with the keys to open the slot and change things usually came at night when no one was around (it was not a 24 hour casino the one I worked in).Then they start and do their programming and change the RTP to favor the casino even more than the law allowed sometime as they bribed the persons in government who were pointed to control the casinos (corruption is on any country).This guy though came on precise orders from above (the boss) so he was not doing anything from his own.

Newcastle are currently still held 1-1 at Nottingham Forrest. My hope is clear that it has to end with this score if indeed they can't be beaten because in this way the margin with Liverpool is maintained by 3 points and that's what I hope for.
Of course, with the result of 1 point now, Liverpool's chance will still be very big to catch up, even though Liverpool are still not completely good because there are still some problems with inconsistency, but I'm sure they can catch up now.
Well it looks like Isak shuttered your hope, Newcastle United now lead by 2 goals to 1 thanks to a late penalty in the stoppage time. Liverpool will have to wait for another time and perhaps try as much as possible to be consistent or not UCL for them next season.

Newcastle played really well tonight,despite going down they did not lose their fighting spirit and equalized in the late ending of the first half to score again near the ending of the second half also by keep attacking.That is the way a team like Newcastle should play against one of the most weak teams of all the Premier League,they should be able to turn things around.

Liverpool now has time,they need to keep winning their games as they are only playing in the Premier League after being eliminated from the Champions League,so most likely they will gear up and will put up a good fight for a place in European competition slots,the fight here is made more beautiful as even Brighton and Brentford are fighting for such place now.

Galatasaray has hardly won most of its victories until now, no matter how many streaks there are, until before this match. I don't remember much of a comfortable win. This defeat was inevitable, it is more important to learn from here. There may be such losses on the way to the championship. The important thing is to analyze the mistakes in these matches well. Okan Buruk has learned many lessons from this match.
Zaniolo was not fully prepared physically, he just arrived. Maybe this match was early, other players accustomed to the game should have taken priority.

Galatasaray just made it difficult for themselves while they were leading comfortably the league,now Fenerbahce has two games left and if they win both of them they will be 3 points difference and a league that looked mostly closed and geared toward Galatasaray as the winners will be left wide open.

They were leading in the first half but I think Galatasaray took it easy then thinking they have already won the game which would have been great for them and put them in a very comfortable position to be the possible winners of the Superlig.Still they have a great team and most likely they will be the Champions this year,Fenerbahce will be back now as they are eliminated from the Europa League so their focus will be only here,so things will be beautiful now.

4249  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Physical gambling and internet gambling which is more fun. on: March 17, 2023, 09:24:44 PM
When I used to play physical gambling that is going to a lotto club and put my tickets there physically in sport betting I never won anything decent as I was not quiet as there were a lot of people there talking about different outcomes for the games I wanted to place bets and they confused me so in physical gambling I have no great memories.Of course I used to play Playstation and Xbox a lot and I still play my PS4 occasionally now but that is not gambling,that is quality time for me,I never took part in tournaments like FIFA or PES which many people used to do so I didn't gamble there.

It is much more fun for me the online gambling as I have all the time in the world to check all the facts about a game quietly from the comfort of my home and no one can confuse me,no one can rush me in sport betting.

Many of whom are now active philanthropists, supporting various charities.

And scammers! Like Calvin, who out of his feel for charity supports a mentally challenged doctor of theology CSW. He probably made Calvin believe God made him invent bitcoin.

From wikipedia:
In 2012, Ayre was indicted by the US Attorney for Maryland on charges of illegal gambling and money laundering.

It's great that  they made their fortunes in gambling industry, I have nothing against that, but what's the point of the thread? If you think you can make it in this business, think again. These people weren't starting with nothing and aren't really role models to follow in all aspects.



I agree that these people are not the best role models to follow but anyone who sees anything as a business and has great ideas about it including gambling can become a successful businessman,beside that these people are very few compared to the hundred thousands that keep losing money and they have left a fortune in gambling,they have gone from successful persons to failed ones,they lost everything because of gambling,work,status,friends and family.

So in gambling there is little good and a lot of bad if you are not cautious to not venture deep down in becoming an obsessed gambler.We should point out that the people who have become successful with gambling can be counted with the fingers of just one hand while the people ruined from it cannot be "counted" as they are a huge number.
4251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 17, 2023, 08:26:05 PM
Juventus have made a really good progress so far in the league. They are actually doing good not only here but also in the Europa League - as they have reached the quarter finals there.

Despite the punishment they got they have got close to Atalanta a lot. But their work is really difficult on this week against Inter. Inter are one of the teams fighting for the second position now and they are already owning it as well. They made some point losses recently but they would like to make up for that by winning this big match. Getting a win in such matches would be extra motivation for the players as well. I still expect this match to end by a close score though but Inter can win anyway.
Whatever happened to Juventus in Serie A, I'm sure Juventus will continue to rise from this downturn, the same way I saw the Serie A tifosi, because it was the first league I saw and poisoned me about football until now. Italy is a country that has a strong and unique character in football from any point of view beyond the existing minuses. It's proven now that in the UCL, Seria A sent 3 teams.

I predict them to be in the final of the Europa League as I am sure they will have no problems eliminating Sporting,they surely are not Arsenal.As for the Serie A they have got nothing to fight for,they can be already in the Champions League spots if they win their appeal to remove their punishment of -15 points so there is nothing more to do for them in the Serie A except keep winning games which in most games they will do.

I am happy to see Juventus though so far in an European Competition after such a long time now,I remember their problems against Porto those years ago but I am confident Sporting will be of no problem to them as they much more heart than Arsenal does.
4252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Will this Statement alone be enough to Prove my Gambling Loses for Tax Deduction on: March 17, 2023, 07:55:21 PM
It is true that gambling losses can be deducted from an individual's taxes. However, for this to happen the individual must have an up-to-date track record of wins and losses, the dates, type of activity, the addresses of the casinos, canceled bets and receipts(this is for brick and mortar casinos). In my case, I have been gambling exclusively at online casinos which have incorporated account statement and tracking databases for gamblers. If needed, I can request for my yearly statement, which shows how much bet I have placed in that year, the wins, and losses for the year. For experienced people, will this statement alone be enough to prove my gambling loses for tax deduction purposes?

I don't know but first you need to be in a country which supports that and as far as I know there are not many such friendly countries to gamblers  Grin.If you truly live in such a country then go ahead and request your statistics from the online casinos where you have played,most well known ones can send you an instant email with all your time statistics like you say,wagered,win,lost and ROI,so if you are in huge lost amount then this should help you to deduct some amount from your taxes.The only problem though is if you have played in crypto casinos,no countries as far as I know allow this while a few countries allow this for FIAT gambling.

Don't forget to put in your predictions for the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this weekend.

I already did and after seeing the Friday 2 sessions of free practice it is clear that Redbull will continue to dominate again in this race if all race conditions are normal (no crash,no Safety Car or Virtual Safety Car) they are going to win this one too,Verstappen has already topped the two free practices and Alonso is right there,no improvement at least in these free practices from Ferrari or Mercedes.It may be going to a really boring race for us fans of F1 as most likely Redbull will dominate from start to end but at least we have this pool here to keep our emotions high because we route for every driver that we place in the top 10.

^ Chinese steel from the 80s is apparently better than the ones used these days, from all the videos I've been seeing, including concrete actually haha.

But apparently most of it is now used in Asia and Africa, I suppose time will tell.

But on topic, I have to say I feel more and more weirded out reading about Ferrari. How does a champion go down so fast? It feels not so much about Red Bull catching up and moving ahead but more like them actually going down.

Very confused by everything in terms of "construction".

Even McLaren has gone down very fast after becoming Champions in 2008 for the last time,it took them 5 years up to 2013 to screw it up completely and they are still not figuring it out,so that is a lot of years in vain trying to make the perfect car,it is funny how they switched from Honda to Mercedes and they are seeing now that Honda is winning Championships,patience is all that is needed with Japanese premium brands like Honda as in the long run they have always sorted it out.

Today we have the free practices,do not forget to watch them everyone to have a clear insight of the cars,I know almost nothing has changed but who knows how hard the runners up teams have worked in their cars so we can see some surprise results today.

Last day for payments also but I assume everyone has already paid.
4255  Economy / Gambling / Re: they are scamming us? on: March 17, 2023, 10:12:43 AM

So self-control is the most important thing we must have in any case, not just in gambling, so we can think long and not rush into decisions. And when we feel very angry because of our loss at gambling, we have to leave immediately before things end badly.


That is the most difficult thing to do,when we are in our rage of losing money in gambling and I am talking when we are playing slot machines because in sport betting it is more easy to quit because they take more time as bets to develop (you have to wait for the game to end) but when in slot machines and we are in the middle of the biggest rage which come from our continuous losses it is extremely difficult to quit right there,usually we end up raising our bets and making false promises to ourselves that we will only hit the spin button just a couple of times more when in reality we keep hitting that button until every single penny is lost.

When one of us masters the art of leaving a slot machine in the middle of the rage he is saved from the worse endings that the people who continue to play face.
4256  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: March 17, 2023, 09:57:53 AM
Gambling gives two kinds of pleasure: first, more when you win money, and less when you play for fun and lose.
The pleasure of both is different and as someone who has tasted both, it is actually a bad addiction. One understands some things while experiencing some things here. Life is actually short enough to increase or decrease the money you earn in 90 minutes. So isn't everything a game?
I like to take risks in life. I have had some gains and losses thanks to this. You cannot experience pleasure and excitement without taking risks. Sometimes you have to take risks and I love taking risks when I gamble.
Most of us are playing for fun as we are not professionals that will strike big deals with companies and take risks with our betting amount and try our luck.When we win the feeling is at another level because we have gained profits so we face many different scenarios while gambling but most importantly we should not become addicted towards it I would say to all.
Here it is very important to keep track of how much time you devote to gambling from your free time from your main job. 
Even if, as you think, you do not have any addiction to gambling and your loved ones are not at all worried that when you come home from work you immediately sit down at the computer and play until late in the evening.  And this goes on almost every day!  Then all the same, there is a reason for you to think that this is not normal.  And it shouldn't be.  And severely limit the time of the game.  Otherwise, psychologists will consider you already as a patient with gambling addiction. 

In general, you need to keep track of how much time you spend gambling and add also the time you play on your mobile phone.

Absolutely! As someone who enjoys gambling occasionally, I believe it's essential to keep track of the time and money I spend on it.  It's not just about the money you're spending, but also the time and energy that could be directed towards other important things in your life.
 
And it's not just about gambling; any activity that takes up most of your free time could be a warning that you should cut back on the time you devote to it. Be it gambling, playing computer games, engaging in social networks, watching TV, or anything else.


That is right,when you see that you are spending most of your time in gambling activities not only that is bad for your personal finances but it is a clear indication that addiction is exactly at your door step and if you continue further in a very short amount of time you can become addicted without even realizing it.Also each activity when overdone even eating more bread than you should is damage to your body,except learning,the more you learn the more free you become in your life,financially speaking.

How f*cked up Arsenal was yesterday night I don't have words to describe it,they were so sure about winning from penalties that they barely managed to get there but only to find out that Sporting hit the penalties perfectly while Martinelli from Arsenal lost it and as such Arsenal was eliminated from Europa League,they are the second of the big favorites who goes out,first was Barcelona and now Arsenal,Arsenal from a much weaker opponent than Barcelona which makes them look ridiculous losing in London.

I can only imagine the number of tickets lost even during the additional time from the live betting,people most likely thought now Arsenal will win and most people I assume played live bets and some even Arsenal to qualify,all of these lost bets.
4258  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Future of GPU mining, what's your plan? on: March 17, 2023, 08:37:46 AM
Like every time yes, but keep in mind bullmarket and cheap gpus - not really. Why waiting for the BTC halving? If you want to mine for long time, buy now.

To OP,Exactly this advice.

If you want to be prepared follow this advice and buy cheap GPU-s now,now we are still in a crypto winter market and despite some sort of recovery the price of GPU-s are still low compared to the bull run which they were extremely high.Another limiting factor is the energy price but most cards are efficient and can make you a decent daily amount of crypto for a normal rig with 6 GPU-s and you will be with not a lot of loss (which people fighting for the long run should absorb as there is no other way around this) and hope for the best in the next bull run,that is the best strategy to prepare,you are not late even if you start now.
4259  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Why we are not seeing a native wallet for .. on: March 17, 2023, 08:17:26 AM
So there has been enough time for any serious developer to build a native wallet to support ETHW or ETHF the two hard forks after ETH moved to PoS in September 2022.Why should we stick with Metamask and no one cares of building a native wallet or even better to implement these coins in their already developed wallet like Exodus (which has no intentions of doing so) and Atomic Wallet which would have no real problems implementing these coins.

Is this because they are not listed for trade in Binance yet?May be a Binance listing for trading would give them enough boost as for the big wallets to start implementing them and why it is taking so much time for the team behind these projects to come up with their own wallet for these coins?

Because we need no "native" wallet for ETHW, because metamask and all other work. Metamask is the "native" wallet if you want, metamask is a wallet app and no ETH only wallet, this wallet app can connect to different networks, if they are compatible. ETHW is a ETH fork, so metamask is compatible.
I see no point for doing this, if it is really needed, than the Developer of ETHW should do it - but as said - no need for this.

Guarda Wallet and Trust Wallet have ETHW support also, Ledger too for example.

I will have a look in those wallets,I know Trust wallet but it is the first time I see this Guarda Wallet.I am asking this as I want to exchange the ETHW directly to ZIL in a wallet for example Atomic Wallet would have been the perfect choice for me as I have staked more than 5000 ZIL so far and I intend to keep staking them as much as I can,that 15% reward yearly is great for me and if the price of ZIL increases that is much much better.Unfortunately Metamask does not do this as they have not a built in exchange which does even small amounts like Atomic does (Exodus crushes you with huge fees and needs bigger amounts) and that is why I was asking.

This is a regular contest that they do every month and those who are the luckiest to be able to win in this contest are those who already have rich referrals and are actively playing on freebitcoin, but finding and getting referrals is not easy nowadays, very different when crypto first appeared and when freebitcoin first appeared which was better known at that time as a bitcoin faucet.

$ 32,000 is the total prize so that value will be divided between several winners and there will be 10 winners with the biggest prize is $10,000 and you can also see the statistics for this contest in the contest tab section on freebitcoin you will see how much the first leaderboard make wager per month to won that prize.
I think it's clear that there are whales who would be taking advantage of this but that's how gambling works, in almost every place there are people who end up gambling a lot compared to everyone else, and they get all the rewards.

The great thing about this place is that even though those type of things are won by the whales, we also have the weekly lottery and lambo lottery which could be won by regular people with nearly no money at all as well. We have seen plenty of times where under 1000 ticket owners ended up winning them both, which is why it's actually good for everyone and not just whales. They keep a great balance between people like us, and the whales.
But do not be disappointed, in freebitco.in the odds are always fulfilled, just as there are whales that have to buy many tickets in any contest, if there is a person who manages to buy 1 ticket, he can win even more than the whales, There is nothing written here, the important thing is to try, when we think about the numbers, obviously the whales will have a greater advantage, but here anything can happen, the weekly lottery is good, any contest is good, but the important thing is that you participate without fear, the weekly lotteries there are players who only buy 1 ticket and win.


The whales have no advantage in the weekly lottery but surely they do in the Lambo draw lottery.The reason they don't have an advantage in the weekly lottery is that there are over 50 million members here who anyone of them can have a weekly lottery ticket because of many things,from the free rolls as the main source,so there are a lot more people with a low number of tickets than there are whales with for example over 1 million tickets for the weekly lottery.

For the Lambo draw they are always in advantage because the people having tickets to participate in this draw are much less than 50 million,not every member here gets a golden ticket from free rolls and they are more difficult to get a lot of them and that is why the whales are in clear advantage here.
