I won't do that if I were you. Get a job, that's work. Making a living out of gambling will be an inconsistent thing in your life. Imagine losing one day and you cannot even feed yourself because you are reserving what is left to gamble it again the next day. Also, you might get buried with loans on this kind of action and the interest rate won't make you happy when you see it. Then, when you start to have a family, what will you tell your kids? There's a chance they will copy whatever you are doing. I am not saying it's wrong but if you are successful, it could be different for them.

This simply does not work in the long term no matter how smart of a guy you are.Even if you play on sport betting where you read a lot of news,analysis and site predictions for the event you want to bet and you think that you now know it all,guess what,the referee with one or two suspicious decisions can blow your plans up in the air and you are back at point 0,point of start.When you don't win in sport betting you of course can never win in slot machines as they are programmed to benefit the casino over time and that is why they have an house edge usually 3-4% which is guaranteed profit for the casino.

Bottom line,you can never make a living from gambling unless you hit a multi million dollar jackpot.

The Premier League still has 12 matches remaining until the end of the season, Arsenal are 5 points ahead of City. at least the Gunners must maintain consistency, because they have other tough matches that still have meetings with several strong teams such as City, Liverpool, Newcastle, and even other teams can become stumbling blocks for the Gunners if they are unable to maintain consistency. meaning, Arteta must maximize his squad to stay on the winning track.

Meanwhile, the difference of 5 points from Arsenal is not a problem for City to squeeze the point difference from the top of the standings. however it is not easy for Pep Guardiola to keep his team in high form. because, they also have a fairly busy schedule of matches. meaning, Pep's concentration will be divided into several other important matches, especially the Champions League. but whatever it is, the struggle for a trophy this season is still wide open for City to shift Arsenal's ranking. and vice versa for Arsenal, the Gunners have the potential to win the title this season.
Manchester City need to catch up 5 points and there is only a possible 36 points available from the remaining 12 games. Arsenal fixtures are looking the easier of the 2 teams and Manchester City are still in the Champions League. If they want to catch up with Arsenal they will need to focus on the Premier League but that might make them lose their chance of winning the Champions League. I think if they try to win both they will end up losing both and will not win a trophy this year.

Arsenal are in the better form too and while there is 36 points available from the remaining fixtures Arsenal is not dropping more then 9 points looking at their fixtures so Manchester City would need to win every game from now on to challenge and put pressure on Arsenal.

Keep in mind that there is still a game to be played between the two teams and it will be played at City home which I assume they are going to win that,after that the points difference will only be 2 so anything can happen during these 11 other games remaining.I think that City should be focusing on both fronts as they surely have the capability to do so and even Arsenal is also on the Europa League which I think the same about them as they are also capable of fighting in two fronts because they too have such possibilities.

When I was saying that Real Madrid will have no chance to win the Spanish La Liga of this season. Some people were not in agreement with me. Not until Barcelona increased the point difference from 8 to 10. I knew that it was over. But some people had hope that Real Madrid could still come back in La Liga to top Barcelona
last week Real Madrid dropped a point against Atletico Madrid, which is quite understandable. How about this week? What happened with Real Betis?
There are reasons why many people still trust Real Madrid to compete for the title, one of which is because the number of points over Barcelona is not too far away. Now nobody is optimistic about Real Madrid's title race anymore, because they are talking about slightly bigger points. Real Madrid had some problems up front and midfield in their previous matches in La Liga.

Ancelotti seems to have difficulty rotating players due to the tight schedule of matches they follow, even though at the moment none of the main players are injured. Real Madrid's midfielders are not at their best at the moment, so there is no measured pass that can be given to the attackers that would allow them to score.

I think it is likely because the number of points have increased in difference to Barcelona and now Real Madrid knows that they stand no chance to win La Liga as the number of games to be played is always smaller.That is why now they most likely will be focusing on the Champions League where so far they have been performing really well and that is why they will continue to focus only there to keep doing better and be a strong contender to the Champions League title.

For the La Liga I think Barcelona has already won the title based on the number of games left and points difference between the two teams.

The scariest point is that this is even Red Bull's first look in the season. I mean they are able to win a race so comfortably at the beginning of the season already and they will continue to improve this car also.

When we think about this we can clearly say that Red Bull are unbeatable once again. I still kept my hopes up about Ferrari to make a good start. I expected the same competition between Leclerc and Verstappen in this race just as they had against each other last season. But Leclerc was falling behind in the first laps already. In addition, Leclerc couldn't even finish the race. How can Ferrari still have a big issue like engine failure? What did they do in the whole season break for god's sake?

By the way I was really impressed by Alonso's amazing drive today. He definitely deserved the podium and I'm excited to see him having a solid season this time.

It was a problem with the battery,they didn't like it before the race so they changed the battery but in the end it did not work out well for Leclerc.This track was one of the faster tracks and with a lot of corners and is suited to Redbull more than any other car.Now we are heading into Saudi Arabia and that is a completely different track there where Ferrari last time put a really strong fight against Redbull and I am expecting them to do the same during this upcoming race also.If Ferrari still continues to have reliability issues into this second race of the season then it is good bye for competition here as Redbull will most likely win this F1 season several races before the last one.

It's being a great business to place the multi bets and I'm already placing my bets for the next round.
Porto and Sporting playing at home have great possibilities, Benfica against Maritimo, away from home, but Benfica wins, and Braga against Vizela seems to me the most balanced match.


Well Benfica it will have an easy game I think in Champions League against Brugge no matter that Brugge got and lost against the penultimate place in their local league by playing their second eleven in that game keeping the first eleven fresh for the Champions League encounter,still they will be out most likely as Benfica has a much better team.

I also think that a multi bet on these three teams for the upcoming round of the Portuguese Liga Portugal cannot be a wrong choice as most likely all the teams should win their games easily so I think the odds of the three teams together to be well over 2 which is a nice odd for a good multi bet like this one.

Liverpool able to score 7 goals against Manchester United, does Liverpool can able to score at least 4 goals to Real Madrid? it's a hard task for Liverpool because the match will happen on Real Madrid's home. I think Liverpool can able to beat Real Madrid, but I don't think they will qualify to the next round since the aggregate points is really big with 3 goals difference. Real Madrid's defenders are better than Manchester United, so I believe Liverpool will not score a lot goals.
Liverpool have vented their defeat against Real madrid so that Manchester United were defeated and humiliated with 7 goals, obviously for Premiere League matches and the Champions League are very different, I think Liverpool will not qualify for the next round because of course it is very difficult for Liverpool to score more than 3 goals to real madrid's goal and it's so impossible.
it will be difficult for Liverpool to get a place in the UCL. although they could have played to their full potential and got a goal at home to Madrid, catching up to the current goal would be far enough. Madrid is not a weak team in UCL, they can always take advantage of opportunities to win. even in the second leg, they are playing at home and it will be very difficult for Liverpool to benefit from this game.

Liverpool did a super awesome performance yesterday night in the Premier League by beating Manchester United with a tennis result of 7-0.They are focusing only on the Premier League as it will be extremely difficult for them to win with three goals difference in Madrid just to put the game on level terms.I also think that Real Madrid is playing really bad in La Liga as of lately which for me is a clear indication that they are focusing exclusively on the Champions League this season and they will be one of the strongest contenders to the Champions League title this year.

I played the last year so i know so much points can be a winning round, and when i see i have 14.5 i say to myself, "Well maybe i win the round", but when i click in the leaderboard i see that tremendous 17 points made by fM.
Yeah, I'm having a similar impression because despite Leclerc did a DNF, I still had some good picks but seeing someone making 17 points is really surprising.  Cheesy
Last year in your Formula 1 pool, it was enough to have 11 Points for winning yellow cap for the first race (see here) and today, 11 points is just resulting in being somewhere in the lower midfield.  Cheesy
Sure: last year, Verstappen and Perez did an unexpected DNF as well as Leclerc did today but so much points difference in our pool is still surprising.

Maximum last year was 16.5 and it was a shared maximum prize between me and the organizer of this pool but this year started in a much different way and 17 points is really surprising already since the first race but of course this was largely in part because of Leclerc being DNF as most likely we would have seen a couple of us with 16.5 points if Leclerc ended third as most people had that top 3 predicted including Leclerc in third place so the top guy was really lucky in this way and congrats to him for earning the first yellow cap and of course the first free bet.

I think that there are casinos that let you deposit with 0 confirmations but they have to wait for some confirmations,usually 3 for Bitcoin and some more for other coins before you can withdraw as there is put in place as suggested here to stop people for using casinos dealing with illegal activities.

With 10 dollars let me say to you upfront that you will not win 99.99% of the time and I say this from personal experience because I play like 100-150 dollars weekly and play with minimum bet and rare are the cases where I win a decent substantial amount.So your search criteria needs to be changed.

It looks like we will wait another round as both leading teams have easy games,well easier for Bayern Munchen who plays at home against Augsburg compared to Dortmund playing away at Schalke which lately have not lost a game from quite some weeks now so maybe next round will be interesting to watch.In fact Schalke I don't know what happened to them but they look in great shape having not lost from 7 games now,5 draws and 2 victories when before such results they were going from bad to worse,from lost game to even worse result losing game,so maybe I should correct myself,this round will be very difficult for Dortmund despite the odd of 1.60 for them not saying so.
4390  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 05, 2023, 10:03:51 PM
Meanwhile, AS Roma has taken a 1-0 lead against Juventus, which will therefore fall even further behind in the battle for European football. It was already a lost season, but the team from Turin cannot really afford these kinds of defeats.  
Roma 1 - 0 Juventus... The old lady is in deep trouble and grabbing whatever place for an European competition seems to be challenging with such defeats.
Without the 15 points sanction, Juve would be near Inter now..
Milan has a stability problem and might risk a Champions League spot too if they will continue like that.

I am starting to not understand well one of the leagues I thought to know better,even better than the Premier League which is my most favorite soccer league.I find it strange that Roma is beaten by the last place in the standings which is Cremonese and then they come and win against Juventus at their home,Juventus being in a much better form than Roma having a lot of consecutive victories before such defeat.

Another fact is Milan which was the favorite in yesterday night game and they lost it without even putting a real fight against Fiorentina and that late goal who made the score 2-1 was just Fiorentina slowing down their power because they released that they had already won the game,strange things happening this week in Serie A.

Barcelona now that is out of all the competitions is heavily focusing only on La Liga.Despite their bad run against Almeria they soon recovered by beating Real Madrid at their home in the Copa del Rey and this is a big red flag for me for Real Madrid,they already it looks like they know they can't win La Liga anymore and they are screwing up game after game,so it is wise to stop betting on them or we risk to lose money for nothing.

They are now heavily focused on the Champions League where they have high chances of going further than this stage being the favorite in the return leg against Liverpool,while Barcelona is doing their job to secure this La Liga title as soon as possible.

On before now gambling was seen as a dirty habit and was painted black in the society because way back the society believes any gambler have so many bad habits too like doing drugs which most gamblers was mafias not just mafias but rich people .But in this present world now gambling is seen as a business which both young (+18) and old part in which in the old times gambling was base most times about money wasn’t base on sport but now is modernize into different kind of sport that why in west Africa there are so many gambling and betting companies because is been accepted by the public now as a medium of making extra cash basically gambling to me was for men but now you can see woman parting in gambling games which everyone in that habit believes each day he/she must make more returns than he/she has spent to stake just as an entrepreneur knows that risk management of any business he/she is operating,a gambler knows that their is high risk in every stake but their believes so much in good future that good must always come by that no matter the amount a gambler loses believes his coming will earn that triple times .So my question now is that can someone use gambling as a means of earning living?

The only way gambling can earn someone a living if they are lucky enough to hit a huge jackpot,not like the ones we see on online slots which are much smaller compared for example to the range of million of dollars jackpot we see in Vegas.If for example someone who is a regular in such casino and plays there every week a normal amount,money he can afford to lose and while doing so he gets one of those multi million dollars jackpot that is absolutely a life changing event and in this scenario we can say gambling has made him a living not only for his own benefit but for a couple of generations to come if he stops immediately after hitting the jackpot.

Nowadays though some slot providers on the online scene are increasing their max win up to x300.000 your bet I have seen so slow slow they are getting up to speed with offline slots huge jackpots.

Not big wins as I picked the favourites but my freebets were about to expire haha.

Those are enough to give you a nice session of playing slots,if you are into those things but if you are not better not try them as they are extremely highly addictive.

What an amazing freaking Liverpool tonight,7-0 is the most humiliating defeat they have inflicted on Manchester United and I thought the game would probably be a draw because both teams have been playing well recently,boy how wrong I was  Grin.

This week pool results so far came good for most of the people as most of the games came as predicted,the fact that games are shrinking in number makes this pool even more interesting than what it already is.

There is absolutely no way that Red Bull is not the champions again, that's guaranteed. There needs to be something like breaking some rules or like FIA punishment or something to make them any worse, otherwise if they really race with this car, I think they may end up starting to work on the next seasons car by now, because the difference between Red Bull and other teams may not be close enough for other teams to cover even if they worked on this years car. P1 is Red Bull for sure, and "for now" Merc is p4, I think p2 and p3 will change between aston martin and ferrari from race to race.

It looks like that after the first race and honestly last time they have done so in Australia 2011 they completely dominated the race,of course anyone watching tonight race would think that this to be the same again as last year.Just remember though that last year Ferrari started on another planet by winning the first couple of races and Redbull struggling until after Monaco GP which from then they started to increase in performance massively and turned things around of course thanks and to Ferrari team making error after error.I am assuming that Aston Martin can improve further like Mercedes did last year and also Ferrari I think with Leclerc they have a better pace than this one of tonight,during the upcoming races we will see the true form of the cars of course without forgetting that Redbull is the main favorite again.

Well Liverpool looks like is picking up pace in the Premier League as they are leading comfortably against United now 2-0 with just the second half underway.I am not seeing any sign of life from Manchester United as most likely they are keeping a fresh form for the Europa League while Liverpool has not that high chances to get past Real Madrid when playing at Real Madrid home being 3 goals down in the direct encounter.Liverpool since the game at Wolves showed great game play and is continuing in that great run foot steps in tonight game the main event of the Premier League against Manchester United which is also a sweet revenge for the lost game in the first stint of the Premier League at United home back then.

Leclerc's having an engine failure while we were getting close to the end of the race changed the whole picture. famososMuertos qualified for winning a yellow cap by getting a whole 17 points and finishing the week as the first.

Exactly I had 6 points to made from finding the correct three places and the complete podium and I immediately lost 4 out of them with him being out.Strange enough I also did not expect McLaren to screw up that big as they did as they are the first team to have started car development for this year since May 2022 so I expected a lot more from them.

Alonso looked very happy tonight with his team radio messages like "This car is so lovely to drive" meaning him to be in a complete different planet compared to when he used to yell at McLaren messages like "GP2 engine" and "Undriveable car".

RedBull is too strong, stronger than the past year.

It seems they already won both titles  Grin

Redbull is strong yes and maybe the strongest car but I don't think we can judge from the first race because as Max Verstappen said right now in the interview after the race that we have to see track by track but we really have a really good race package.

Anyway the headlines were Aston Martins tonight as they made the race look much more beautiful and the super awesome overtake that Alonso made to Hamilton was simply phenomenal and sensational,the most beautiful overtake I have seen since that double overtake from Hakkinenn in the 2000s which sparked a great emotion in me again tonight,well worth watching this race.

Then what is the situation for changing picks to sacrifice the early points? Smiley There must be one Smiley
Well I guess if you thought that Red Bull will have pole positions and made their drivers to finish on the podium and both have troubles with the car in qualifying and start from last positions you could change your pick to some other driver. Not gonna happen, but that rule with 2 points for early picks seems like great one for F1. Big influence on my decision to join, wanted to see how it works first hand.

For that situation I think rarely sacrificing the early 2 points have brought better results,the only couple of times I changed a few things after seeing that for example Sainz got penalty and I didn't know that he would start 20th and once I knew I changed the picks losing the 2 points and this came out even worse for me as I was put last in the standings of that race.

Speaking of this one though if it ends like this I think most of the people will get a lot of points if it ends with the actual positions like they are now and just less than 20 laps to go.Overall a boring race and only the Aston Martins fighting against Mercedes make it look like a beautiful one.

Indeed, PSG can also win without Neymar, in the previous match, they played with a 4-4-2 formation and deliberately backed down to accept the defense to take advantage of the space behind Bayern Munich's high defense, they were wrong to use that tactic. I think they need to push the lineup like they did at the end of the game and this time start with a 4-3-3 to look for a goal as soon as the game starts and their defense needs to be more cohesive, not messy, disorderly as recently. Perhaps they must do so to expect a victory over the mighty and comprehensive Bayern Munich.


I think With Neymar out then the 3-5-2 could be the possible formation, they’re by choking Bayern’s midfield and stopping them from using their fast wingers against counter attacks. This formation might really have over work Nuno Mendez and Mukiele but once they get at least a goal then the likes of Carlos soler and Juan Bernat could come on to see the game off. But it is going to be hard match for PSG because of lack of depth upfront

I think that the odd of 3.85 for Paris is a good one to give a try,it is near 4 and everything can happen with a team like Paris which has a lot of star players in them.I am not saying that I am underestimating Bayern Munchen as you can never underestimate a team like them but I am just saying that it is worth to give a try for Paris because Paris is trying for so many years not successfully to get to win the Champions League and this would be if I am not mistaken their 10th consecutive year without such title.I am not saying that they will qualify but that they have got nothing to lose and will go all in here because in Ligue 1 they are already the winners there.

Liverpool vs Manchester United is the game I want to see the most today. With the condition that Liverpool must continue to step on the gas to add to their points in the standings and make up for their poor performance in the last few matches, it will certainly be exciting to face Manchester United who is in optimal performance. Erik Ten Hag will clash strategies with Klopp at Anfield, who do you think deserves to qualify as the winner? maybe on paper, both deserve to end in a draw.
I saw that in the last 2 meetings between these two teams Manchester United always won. And I think even for this match we must also realize that Manchester United's current performance and consistency are truly extraordinary. So I will favor Manchester United in this match. but Liverpool, who play as the host, will certainly try not to lose this match. But I still doubt their consistency. But a draw can also happen. but if Liverpool win in this match then it indicates Liverpool have returned to their true abilities.

Normally Manchester United is the favorite in this game as their recent form is better than Liverpool but I don't think it will be that easy.I was surprised by Liverpool game play against Wolves which they dominated the game and while I was watching that game I said that Wolves is a pathetic team but the fact that they in the next game yesterday beat Tottenham makes me rethink.

So based on that I think that this game will be both teams to score yes and that there will be a lot of goals in this game but I don't know on which team to bet on because the odds are 2.50 vs 2.70 which means can be any team game.
