I guess that blew her patience for not telling his winning, so he threaten that he should stop gambling or they part ways, my friend choose his wife so he cannot play until he can convince his wife and promise her to tell her if he won big. Cheesy

How about you have you been threatened by your wife, your girlfriend, or your parents, if so tell us your story.
all my life, only my parents could threaten me to stop gambling even though in the end I returned to gambling after previously making promises to my parents

Over time, I have become more and more convinced that it is we ourselves who can change and direct our lives, as long as we can control our gambling habits then why should we stop gambling!!
The key word is control, if you can control yourself yeah there is no need to be controlled by someone else. Some people think it is easy to get rid the gambling addiction but in reality, gambling addiction can be so dangerous when you don't take it seriously. The more we play the more dopamine brings addictions in our brain cells, IMO.
I also agree with what you say, because if a person cannot control himself it is impossible for him to set an example. I have seen many heads of families, men who have their wife and children and suddenly lose control not because of another woman but because of the casino game, because they have losing streaks and start betting more than they should and when they start to see they put their family support money at risk, that's when the addiction comes in, the loss of control and that's why I also second what you say, control is everything when it comes to casino games.

I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.
Are you bothered by the gambling advertisement, i advise you to have lots of YouTube accounts so that the videos that are recommended to you are not just gambling sites.  As far as i know, YouTube will give you advertisements based on what you often watch, and when you often watch gambling streamers, YouTube will automatically recommend gambling sites (there's nothing wrong with just skipping the ad) that advertise themselves on Google for most of the videos you watch. 

But these things can't be taken into consideration, firstly because YouTube doesn't have a way to put things in so that one can become Premium and the truth is that I'm not interested, I don't know about the others, so advertising or adsense is very annoying, although to be honest it wouldn't bother me to see casino propaganda and even more so if these casinos are on bitcointalk, because it is something that would fill me with pride if I saw stake.com, because it is the casino I work for and every day in that Casino things get better, it is also one of the ones with the most reputation, like sportsbet, bitcaisno, duelbits, rollbit, roobet, among all these that are the best.
4403  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Intriguing article: How to Perfect Your Gambling Strategy on: June 10, 2023, 11:33:01 PM
I agree that there is no perfect strategy. You can do your best to make your strategy as good as possible, see if you can optimize it. But you will always play against your own disadvantage. Or you have to keep yourself busy with arbitrage betting if vaue betting, but you can't do that for too long because it's a matter of time before the bookmaker realizes that and then you get a block. And in a casino, a strategue has no jack at all, because arbitrage bets do not exist there, of course, or their software must be broken.
There is indeed no perfect strategy, but with this you can be more responsible and you can know at least how to gamble properly with no high expectation at all. Gambling is a game of luck and probability, if you’re not lucky don’t expect to make money. I see strategies as being a responsible gambler, but if you are relying too much on this then I think you might be disappointed when you didn’t win at all. There’s no perfect thing about gambling, its all about luck and your attitude towards gambling.
I agree with what you say, there is no perfect strategy, we are innovating and testing all the time, it may be that a particular strategy works or not, so I think that for a strategy to work it is necessary to mix all of them, because There is no such thing, not yet, so there may be many who write articles that say that it is so, but no, it is taken into consideration that things here can occur in other ways and one of them is through trial and error , this is what tells us what is right or wrong or what is the best strategy? I think winning is the best strategy.

The match between Juventus and Milan is almost over and at the moment the score is unchanged even though Juventus has changed slightly for the second half but they have not been able to break down the defense of Milan so far.
It's quite unfortunate actually, even though in this case they have the opportunity to overtake Roma and Atalanta as well as put themselves in the Europa League zone but with this defeat everything will not happen even though the last match still has a chance but still it's different, especially Atalanta and Roma also won't want bad results and will surely do his best to stay in his current position.
Finally Ac milan was able to lock in 4th place and they qualified for the Champions league next season. I am quite happy with this result because they were able to steal full points at home to Juventus. Again, Giroud became Ac milan hero in this match because one of his goals was able to lead Ac milan to win this match. Indeed, Juventus had some pretty impressive opportunities to look at, but they still couldn't break into the AC Milan goal, which was guarded well by Maignan.

AC Milan trip this season has benefited enough from the reduction in Juventus points because otherwise they will definitely fail to close the season in the top 4 places. So for Juventus they still have hope of reaching 5th or 6th place if they are able to win the upcoming match and even then if Atalanta and Roma lose the next match.

Well, Milan is one of the teams that cannot be missing from the UCL , it is something unheard of that these teams that are so relevant do not promote this competition , I cannot deny that I feel a bit nostalgic for Juve's situation , because they are a very that they have not Done very well, but this may help them to think that they have to do things much better and that they have to push themselves to achieve things , perhaps they have to give that Percentage of effort that is still being Saving , the good thing about fútbol is that it always offers good Opportunities , there is no Other way, they have to do Better.

1-0 Yeah I'm so happy about the defeat on inter.

Now Guardiola can leave Manchester City, his job is done


Yes, you're right, I think that Guardiola has already accomplished it and has made sure that everything bad that he committed at some point has already been settled, he is also considered one of the best coaches in the world, that is the coach who will be valued much more, I I wonder if he's really going to leave? many things can happen, everything can change, but in retrospect when things start to happen in different ways, they may open the doors with a great proposal in Arabia, because apparently they are also hiring and looking for technical directors, in my opinion yes Actually, I would have liked Inter to have won.

Manchester City 1 Inter Milan 0: Guardiola's side win Treble



Quote
Pep Guardiola’s all-conquering Manchester City were heavy favourites in the build-up to the Champions League final with Inter Milan written off as little more than participants in some quarters.

The script had already been written by those in Sky Blue with Erling Haaland seemingly destined to score a winner – no doubt assisted by Kevin De Bruyne.

The only problem? Inter Milan had come to play with a Treble anything but easy for City.

As far as I am concerned, the final match is going to be a race between the best teams from the Premier League and the best teams from the Serie A, and I think this will be even more exciting if you know that Inter Milan has won the Champions League before, and they have more experience in it than Manchester City, while Manchester City has never won the Champions League, so if they beat Inter Milan then it will be a big achievement.
Indeed, although I see Inter winning more than City itself, in some way I believe that Inter's defensive team will be superior to Pep Guardiola's City, sometimes teams that are merely defensive tend to give more football lessons to others for the simple fact that these teams go on the counterattack, and the forwards run much more because they are not worn out, it is also an Italian team, and the Italians are very expert in defensive equipment, so this can be the result, of course it is my criteria, my way of thinking and how I see football at the Moment.




Wow, this time all those from City, UCL champions, won.

Manchester City win the treble after beating Inter Milan in Champions League final



Quote
Manchester City have won the treble after a 1-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

It was a tense match with Inter Milan defending resolutely for large periods of the game.

After a slow start to the game, City suffered a serious blow 10 minutes before half-time when playmaker Kevin De Bruyne was forced off with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.

The Belgian had initially tried to run off the problem but was forced to admit defeat soon after was was replaced by Phil Foden.

City took the lead in the 68th minute with a fine strike from Rodri.

Akanji played Bernardo Silva into the area and his cut-back was deflected into the path of Rodri, who passed the ball into the net from just inside the area.

The results of this week's match at Laliga have made a number of teams lock in their rankings such as Real madrid, Atletico madrid and Sociedad securing their ranking in the top 4 this season.  and for Villarreal and Betis they have already locked in places for next season's Europa League.  Only the places of the European conference league participants are still up for grabs for the rest of the season because the points earned from the 7th to 11th ranked teams are so close that there is still a possibility to secure 7th place in the 1 remaining matches for them this season.

At the bottom of the Elche and Espanyol standings are the two teams that down caste into league 2 or the Segunda Division next season. Valladolid still has hope of staying in Laliga next season if they are able to win the last game because their points are quite close to the teams above them.

Really, as things have happened in the League, it was logical that they would happen, for me there is no surprise, it was known that Barcelona was going to win the League, Real Madrid concentrated so much on the UCL that what they did was all wrong They did not win La Liga and they allowed themselves to be eliminated by a City that did not see what was going to happen, however, that is football, Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad were the teams that I saw best standing, I did not see any other option, but for that My there are no surprises, it's fine how everything developed, that's why when they are in the UCL the true level will be seen, I hope that Barcelona manages to pass the UCL well and not fall back into the Europa League where they did not achieve anything .
I think, as long as Xavi is still the coach of Barcelona, then it looks like Barcelona doesn't have a big chance to win the Champions League trophy. After all, in the last two seasons, in the end, Barcelona could not qualify for the last 16 in the Champions League, and Barcelona then only played in the Europa League, but Barcelona still failed. So yes, I personally feel that Xavi cannot make better developments, but if only to dominate La Liga, then Xavi still has good ability to keep Barcelona good only in La Liga.
Barcelona's success in winning the La Liga title this season has made Xavi Hernandez's position still safe as a coach, after Barcelona failed in the Champions League group stage and were eliminated in the Europa League playoffs. No doubt with Barcelona has very poor performance in Champion League last two season, not qualify in group stage after difficult winning against Inter and Bayern made Barcelona failed to 16th round and bad achievement for the first participants have failed with group stage.

Next season I don't sure with Barcelona can't compete in Champion League, has good capital as La Liga winner not guarantee Barcelona have chance for qualifying at group stage exactly when drawing have bigger teams face.

Winning a title in the domestic league never guarantees that a team can succeed in the Champions League or the European League, at least teams like Bayern Munich, for example, who dominate the Bundesliga, cannot guarantee good results in the Champions League. Therefore, because Xavi cannot make Barcelona have the same good performance and results, it will certainly make it difficult for Barcelona to return to promise in the Champions League. But yeah, we don't know what will happen in the future and maybe Xavi can build a better team, who knows.
You are absolutely right, for this reason Barcelona did not even win the Europa League, now they have a place in the UCL, it remains to be seen how they are going to handle it, it is known that if they continue to play in the same way they will not get very far, Like Madrid, I am intrigued by what the other teams will do because this UCL thing is something that is far above many things because the teams normally leave the local league aside as they gain more places in the UCL , so as you say, there is no guarantee of anything, I don't know what happens when the teams demonstrate that, the logical thing can look good for them to win the local league and UCL.

The 2022/23 Season Awards: La Liga

What was Spanish football this season? It was such a strange campaign for the country that I can’t really put a finger on it. FC Barcelona won the league dominantly but could not even get out of their Champions League group, and Real Madrid struggled in the league but managed to reach the Champions League semi-finals. Sevilla and Atlético Madrid both were essentially mid-table to relegation candidate clubs during the first half of the season only to completely turn it around after January. There is so little separating teams because of their completely opposing forms across periods of time and competitions. Let’s try and split them anyway.

4407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: June 10, 2023, 06:31:42 PM
I was just surprised by the results of Liverpool vs Southampton, Liverpool were very kind in that last game, they gave Southampton a good experience.
I was even more surprised to learn that Southampton decided to demonstrate their might toward Liverpool at the end of the league by holding them to a draw (4-4) match even though they had already been kicked out of the premier league.
What does Southampton seek to establish? Why didn't they demonstrate their strength during their time in the Premier League rather than now? I have been asking myself this question in response to Southampton's performance against Liverpool.

How the match started and how it ended was full of surprise. A 2-goal lead, before we knew it, Southampton drew the 2 goals defeat and started leading them by 2 goals (4-2), which Liverpool eventually equalized (4-4) in the game. That's interesting.
These types of teams Always show their strength last and I think I have said this at the beginning of football seasons in LIGUE 1 , Bundesliga, PL , if a team showed this level from the beginning they would not have such a strong job Finally , if you don't have to ask Bayern how they Suffered so much when Dortmund began to weigh on their heels, this type of team is like that , now what Southampton did was a great feat . The only thing is that he showed more level to the last and almost when it doesn't make sense to do it, that's fine , I know that encourages them , but I think they have to be consistent.

In fact, the Arsenal team once performed exceptionally well. In earlier days no other team could have secured victory easily with Arsenal team. But currently the performance of the Arsenal team is not consistently good. Compared to previous performances, Arsenal are far behind now.
Arsenal failure to win the EPL was due to mistakes they made towards the end of the season, they failed to maintain their performance which resulted in losing a lot of points so that Man City took their position. This failure is a history that is hard to forget for Arsenal, they managed to sit at the top of the standings for a long time but ultimately failed to become champions. I don't want to talk about the winning mentality, Leicester City, who once won the EPL, have standard players who don't have high prices.

Arsenal must learn from their mistakes, this season's failure has become a valuable lesson for Arsenal. Apart from failing in the EPL, Arsenal also failed in the UEL even though they are highly favored to win the competition. Next season the EPL will be more competitive, Chelsea and Liverpool are rearranging their squads as a result of their failures this season, while Newcastle will be a very busy team when the transfer market opens after successfully qualifying for the Champions League. Currently there are around seven strong teams in the EPL, Arsenal could be knocked out of the top four next season if they are unable to maintain their performance.
I think that apart from what you say it is very true, but for me the real culprit for this is the technical director, because it is a case very similar to what happened to Chelsea, with great players and with a lot of talent and they did not hesitate. do absolutely nothing, this is something that means that things can be done in other ways, I personally think that, apart from the fact that Arsenal sometimes plays well or badly, then it is ruled out that the players are to blame, This is something that cannot be ruled out, however, according to the experience I have in football, for me the culprit is the coach, just as Madrid lost the opportunity to reach the UCL final, it was only Ancelotti's fault.

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign Youri Tielemans this summer, the club confirmed.

    Villa reach deal to sign Belgian
    Leicester contract expires at the end of the month
    Will join new team on July 1

WHAT HAPPENED? Villa have announced they have agreed a deal to sign Tielemans on a free transfer, with his Leicester contract set to expire at the end of this month. He has been with the Foxes since 2019 and has clocked 195 appearances for the club, although he was unable to prevent their relegation this season. Perhaps his greatest moment came when he scored the winner in the FA Cup final in 2021.

Rashford still hasn't extended his contract with Manchester United and it must be getting more worrying for the team on one hand. Because Rashford has made a huge progress recently. Under Erik ten Hag's management he has improved his performance a lot. He has made a huge level of contribution to the team with goals and assists throughout the season.

But his contract is still ending by the end of next season. This can even encourage some top teams to make an offer for him this summer. I wouldn't expect Manchester United to sell him of course but I wonder if Rashford would think of it.
Ten Hag already stated that he wants Rashford to stay and Rashford must extend his contract soon. So, we don't need to be worried about Rashford's future because he is likely to stay in Man United longer. We also never heard an issue about any top club that wants to negotiate seriously for signing Rashford, this is a sign that there is still no offer from other clubs. It indicates that Rashford is still focused on negotiating his contract with Man United. Rashford also must prefer to stay because he is a real product of Man United academy, he should feel Man United is like his own home. He seems to have no intention to leave Man United in the near future.


If this is the case, it's a shame, because he's a great player and he has a long way to go, it would be a shame if he didn't try out for another team at his age , for me, teams like Manchester who have a coach who don't produce results should leave because they will be tied to a level of football where they will always show and expect the same game , also Ten Hag for me Personally is not good , neither as a Person or as a coach , they have already Given him many opportunities and he does not give good news , So as long as they continue in that cycle, I believe that they will never be able to say that they are going to go to another Level.

Allegri may leave Juventus after all.
The rumor of today is about an offer for him in Saudi Arabia for 30+ m/€

If the rumor will be confirmed I can't see how he will refuse it.

It's insane how money can change an entire sports landscape and they are just beginning with their project in Saudi Arabia. In China politicians intervened and capped the salaries when they went through the roof a couple of years ago. That is why there are no more transfers to China these days while back then it became popular for a little while as they paid average players high double digit salaries. A cap is not to be expected in Saudia Arabia as it is the state's bosses themselves who invest the money into these players and the league. This will go on for a very long time and nobody knows when they will stop and if they will stop or if they are using their money to even build their own associations or push the plan for a super league with the saudi league being part of it or even leading it.

Well apart from seeing it the way you say it , I also see it as a resource that now in Arabia they are highlighting , they want to raise their level of fútbol anyway, and that is why they are Targeting the best players, those players who are very good, but Due to European football mistakes they are no longer accepting them, Mesi style, CR7, Benzema, and more, in this order of ideas seeing that it is working to take them, they also have to increase the level of thought and strategy, that's why they point to Allegri, In addition, with those amounts of Money that they offer, it is quite Difficult to say no , Really each one has the power of Decision.

4409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Things that still make feel awkward with some online casinos on: June 10, 2023, 04:50:45 PM
I honestly observe this with many different crypto websites not even casinos. Some companies try to gain extra money through transactions. I also think its very close to robbery. Online casinos can generate huge amount of money through players/gamblers anyways. I think low fees promote usage anyways. I find it very awkward and disruptive. I think casinos should not treat their customers as cows that they will milk money away.
Do gambling sites consider advice or suggestions? Perhaps they could explore alternative blockchains with lower transaction fees or utilize stable coins from different blockchains. Neglecting to embrace features that make it easier for customers to access their services or products seems unwise.

The casino should be able to consider the advice and maybe implement it if it provides an opportunity for the casino to grow even better. But I think each casino will provide the best for its users, except for casinos that only want their users' money. Such a casino would not consider any suggestions from its members but should be prepared if its users decide to leave its casino one day. It will bankrupt the casino and close its casino because there is no support from its users. It may already be the case for the new casinos just launched.
Of course, it is a fact, here things can be seen in different ways, what each person thinks about a casino is respectable, for that reason if users let the casino know that they need to check Certain things, the casino should do it, If you want to Preserve these people, there is no other Way, it is like when the community asks you for Something so that they can improve, obviously if they do not do it , the success of the casino came to that point , just as they put they can take Away , this is the power of the Players when it Becomes a large Community.
4410  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take Part in Gambling Lotteries ? on: June 10, 2023, 02:56:44 PM
it is already given that the odds in lotteries are very low.  It is more likely a one-over million odds that we can on the lottery.  This is one of the reasons I avoid participating in lotteries especially when it is hosted by the state because the winning odds is too slim.  It is more like giving away our money to the host of the event.

So whenever i heard a news about anyone getting consecutive win on the lottery, I am very surprised and in awe of the luck that person has.  Sometimes I even think that probably the game was rigged lol.
Yes, in fact things when they are based on the probabilities and the statistics with what you say that they can be rigged or something is true , it can be , and if it is of State even more , but According to Probability it says that as a person If you win a Lottery , the probability that you will win it is greater than that of the others, so that is something that sounds strange, Strange or that can be counterproductive, because anyone can win it, but why does Someone who has Already won the lottery have a better chance?of win? I don't know,but there are very Curious things.
Winning a lottery or a game where there are a lot of players with different winning probabilities has nothing to do with your chances of winning the next game, especially in a lottery, this is a myth if people actually think or say that. Your winning probability depends on the number of tickets you have among the overall pool of tickets from every other participant.

And, your probabilities can only change if there is a change in the number of tickets you are holding, you might win two lotteries one after the other if you are lucky, but that doesn't mean that you've won the second one only because you've already won one before.
Well I say this properly, first because I read it in a book on probability and statistics when I was at university and second because at that time they gave us a partial that was about a lottery called "kino" and I remember very well that the probability of winning that lottery was 0.0061% something that I still remember because I was the only one who did that exercise well, and I know that after that the same teacher told us that the probability of that person who won the kino was more likely to win again, I don't remember the reason very well , but that's why I say it.
4411  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: June 10, 2023, 01:58:30 PM
same as my view because i cant expect myself using all the time i am supposed to gamble for real money in playing in some online free games, it's not possible and if I have much time I will rather spend it gambling for real money because even while we playing for fun, we still have to add money to it to make it more motivating on the long run.

Those that could gamble with demo accounts are the computer gaming freaks and newbies who are looking for ways to familiarise themselves with the casino and its features but aside from that, one will need to gamble staking real money to get the right motivation and drive to play those games.

Patience is an art, we cannot have anything without patience, we as players and as people who are risking money all the time, we might think that things have to go another way, you have to be patient in everything, this is for achieve what we set out to do, here things can be seen from many points of view, the one that has the most for us is that we don't care about money, we just want to play at any cost, the bad thing is when you lose, because when That happens, we reflect and have a greater vision of things and of our game,but we must not reach that point, we must be more Intelligent to realize when we Should have some strategy to enter and test the Games well.


    -   In the first place, I want you to know that I want to criticize what you are saying here. You mentioned that patience is like an Art.
I agree with what you said and I have no argument with you on this matter either. Now, for my opinion, a person's patience has no relation to playing gambling. Because being patient belongs to the so-called virtues and gambling is not included in the word "Virtues".

But I still agree with what you said that if we gamble it should only be done as a hobby or just for fun, it shouldn't cause us stress or problems in the end just because we lost playing gambling. Gambling skills are also not necessary if you are the type of gambler who relies on luck.
If I understand what you are saying and you are right, I know that patience can help us a lot, but when we are playing it is obvious that we always want to win, and that desire leads us to a point where we forget patience and the adrenaline starts to exert more force on us, we can get desperate, stressed and forget about what we are willing to spend, that is why the word "self-control" comes out a lot but it is very difficult to control it, the truth is that when patience is combined with "self-control" it is the winning combination for everything, but for us as good humans emotions sometimes play us Wrong and we forget.

Sometimes I used to see the police around my region arresting people publicly playing shot card games and the label it as gambling even though those playing this game don't stake money but the law enforcement agency still categorized it as gambling, so I believe whether or not you stake an amount or just playing for the fun, it all gambling as long as there is a game to contend for the winning unless it sports games if not it all gambling.
Maybe it was because they used cards that were synonymous with gambling that the police thought they were gambling. The authorities could catch people playing cards with their friends even if they didn't use money. So if we want to play sports or anything else, we have to be careful not to use any money so the police won't take it as a bet. But I don't know. The response of each person or the police must also be different and some will think of it as gambling.

Games that being use to gamble should be play privately or else this kind of incident will happened. This scenario is happening on my country. Police sometimes planting evidence to all the people that they saw playing publicly because they knew that this people really gambling but just hiding money away from the table.

I’m confused these people still wants to gamble publicly while they can always play on their houses privately. Local gambling is very popular in my counter which is why police is very strict on catching them even with just a slightly hint of gambling.
The police can easily plant evidence on everyone they see playing gambling, especially if the goal of the police is to arrest everyone who gambles in that place. And while people may hide their money in their pockets or elsewhere, the police can find them. That's what makes me wonder Grin

I think they think that playing in public is still okay and safe from police raids but after information about this gambling activity disturbed the public, the police came and arrested the people. Maybe it's better that they have a place to gamble that people don't know about so they can feel safe.

I don't see arresting people who play in makeshift casinos or street games as a crime, the police should take care of the real ruffians, who are the ones who kill, commit crimes, that's what makes them policemen Don't arrest people who are looking for fun and who don't hurt anyone, those are the things that governments and control entities do that don't let others do what they want. In my country, at one time they did those procedures because Casinos were prohibited, and that is something I never agreed with, now casinos are legal as long as they give the government a good cut.

we all know that Chelsea has something very strange , I don't know why they are so bad , what I think is that they can't find the right technical director, they have to look for someone with the level of Mou, Pep Guaridola, Ancelotti , Zidane , because it will be very difficult if they don't do something quickly, they have a very good team, but I know that sometimes it is difficult to manage players who are quite good, the technical directors are not used to having so much Quality in one team, I could say that Real Madrid have more experience in this regard, that is why this type of team takes the technical Directors that are Considered the best in the World.
I heard that he was on his way to PSG as well, maybe Chelsea offered but then PSG counter offered with something even better? Considering that PSG truly needs him and Chelsea has other priorities, I would guess that PSG will do better in the end. I do not really consider this as a trouble because in the end we are talking about two super rich clubs and they can do whatever they like.

Chelsea however, needs two things as priority, first of all get a decent manager, not easy to find these days, and secondly get the higher up executives to not really bother the football side, leave them be. Look at what happened when Potter was around, they screwed around and got big budget and ended terribly, let the football people do the football things.
The Chelsea thing can be seen as something difficult or easy according to people's criteria, I see it as easy if they find the right technical director, but I can attest that the one they have right now will not achieve anything, they have to hire a more experienced coach Envergadorua, as in the case of Pep Guardiola, like Mou, ZIDANE, who are technicians who have a high level to face the challenge of facing and directing these teams, it is not easy but it is not difficult either, as I have said in my previous comments You have to ask Real Madrid how to manage so many stars in a single team, that's why I mention Mou, Zidane.

Next season the Premier League will be stronger than this season. As every team in the league has managed to build themselves up nicely this season, there is little more to do this season as Manchester City have secured the Premier League title. So the teams will be making great strides for the next season.
Manchester City has won the Premier League title three consecutive times, and Pep Guardiola is after a treble this season. Teams that did not have their most effective season should be watched for a possible rebound in the upcoming campaign. We should keep an eye on Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, as these are clubs that will demonstrate challenging spirits and make the EPL title battle difficult. The Premier League is the highest level of competition for elite clubs. Every manager will work hard during the transfer window to ensure they have a decent taste of players and are completely prepared for next season's competition.  

Arsenal's failure this season has clearly disappointed them because they have a small difference from Manchester City who won the English league. I'm sure Arsenal will be the next club to win the English league next season if they manage to recruit young and quality players to be able to give color to the game for them. Arsenal next season.

Manchester city has yet to see whether they will also buy new players to fill the void in the squad team after CL later, some of their best players will probably leave Manchester City for that they need a better replacement than Pep Guardiola to be able to compete again next season, talking about Liverpool and Chelsea is not so convincing
Well, City's situation is somewhat complicated, everything can change if they are crowned today as the best team in the UCL, it will be their turn against one of the greats like Inter, and I have seen that most of the bets are favoring the city a lot. City, then maybe the outlook for them will change, Arsenal is a fact, they have disappointed a lot and that is something obvious, I don't know to what extent it can have an impact that they have had some failures, and that possibly the solution is to have new players to make the template more effective, is what occurs to me at the moment.

Arsenal have made their most important signing of the window already: report



Quote
Arsenal have tied up their first deal since the end of the season, sealing one of the most important contracts in Mikel Arteta's squad.

The Gunners have a long list of targets for the coming transfer window including Declan Rice and Moises Caicedo – but according to The Athletic's David Ornstein, centre-back William Saliba has agreed a new four-year deal.

The French international had just 12 years on his existing contract and will strong interest from Premier League sides and abroad, there was a chance that Arsenal would have lost the defender. Now, he is expected to become one of the biggest earners at the Emirates Stadium.

Betting with AI in these times does not make sense, firstly because they are in very beta mode, and secondly because they have not yet been programmed with the precision that is needed, I could not say if in 5 years the prediction capacity of the robot will be almost perfect , but I think it will get closer because there are so many events that can be seen having an AI that I am sure will give the most optimal response, and as a result these things can happen, but when it is more advanced, then for now making bets with AI is losing easy, but in the near future it will be the card to success.

I appreciate what AI can do for us but not all areas work great, especially in gambling. Though we can solicit ideas from this stuff, however, it was just limited. As I've tried betting using AI, it only suggests choosing the higher odds which it mentions to have a bigger chance to win and I think that is a similar thing we do when betting. That is why I would agree with you saying that the use of AI in gambling doesn't make sense. Apparently, they have the idea but it was not reliable enough to trust compared to us human.

Yes, and of course, the AI at the moment does not have a profound impact on the casino or any game that involves sports betting, this applies in the near future, I think that in 1-2 years the AI will have another impact, maybe the algorithms prediction will already have them much more effective and improved, that is where it will be interesting to apply the AI to play, because here I know that everyone will try the AI to win in the casino, then at that moment it is where everything will be seen in a different way way, because the security protocols for a casino will be focused only on AI for their protection.

That of betting everything on horses is not a bad idea, but if it applies to horses it should bet for each sport, fútbol, basketball, baseball, whatever , as long as you bet with great measure , the AI can give us approximations , the Algorithms are not so perfect as to be able to appeal to having them as a whole, they have their flaws and they are looking for a way to improve them to have better results, what happens is that if that magic formula is found it will be total madness, because the people will want to have that AI to win and Platforms will Start to shut down in a measure to Protect Themselves.

We can makenuse of AI in many sport bettings but i don't think they were all best for this, let's look at the horse race bettings which has to be a live sport event on an open field, how can the modification of AI be applicable to in this kind of sport if not on other relevant areas it use can be applicable, also I believe that the use of AI can't be as accurate as expected in winning games but can enhance the user's experience in using them.
The rule that AI can play in sports bets is in clubs analysis and how their previous statistics have been then it will be left to the gambler to make something out of that and make the final decision on the bets this is why it becomes imperative to mentioned the none total reliance on AI to make a game decision but to serve as a basis to supply information to decide on.
While the fame of AI is spreading widely on the internet, we must know that AI is not 100% efficient since it cant make real-time decisions.

Yes, exactly it is a fact, when the AI is not a 100% infallible option at least you have the statistics and they can have probabilities based on the performance of the players, also taking into account the style of play proposed by the technical director, In football lately, the responsibility for losing or winning lies with the coaches, so this means that AI can be a help tool for pro analysis now, its effectiveness is evaluated as time goes by, it is what which I can easily intuit based on how the AI thing has boomed.
4414  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: who Want To Bet On 2024 USA elections? on: June 10, 2023, 03:55:16 AM
Yes, in fact Yesterday on the news I couldn't really hear what they were saying on TV, but they said that Trump was guilty of having Sexually Assaulted a woman years ago, but I think that the politicians in the USA have a war against him , things can be seen that way, but I think that if Trump wins , things will change a lot in his favor, and he will persecute those who wanted to see him fall, while more things are mentioned to Trump to Disqualify him Politically, I think he will of more anger, I do not know to what extent it is good that they continue to attack him in this way , it may be that things are Getting out of the hands of the other Politicians.

It is undeniable that Trump will strike back if he wins and I am sure he can succeed in this turnaround if he wins.
See for example what happened in Brazil... the president-elect is an ex-convict (unfortunately... our shame), he went from prison to the most coveted position in the country and in retaliation he is "overthrowing" everyone who acted against him in the time he was accused and arrested, from lawyers, prosecutors and even judges.

Anyway... first Trump needs to win and honestly I'm sorry for that to happen. As much as the other candidates are notably "pushing too hard" to the point of being ridiculous, I think Trump's chances of winning the next election are still slim.

Well, although I say something, in Brazil it continues to maintain that very good level that the country has always had, I see that Brazil continues to grow in technology, in progress and that is something that I like a lot, sometimes I say that if it had not been born in me country and if they give me the choice of where to be born again it would be Brazil because I loved that country and I didn't even know Rio, but it's something spectacular, and what you say is true, Trump will come with everything, he already knows how to handle the powers and How to manage the congress, he already has the experience, the contacts, and this will be very easy for him, for me it is indisputable, the winner will be Trump , they can say what they want, but for me the Winner is him.

~~~
It means the end result shows you are wrong, but some states were close so you are right. If Trump somehow gets ALL those states to flip, then he can win. He needs to flip Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and all of those small difference states but we are not even talking about just one, he needs at least 3 if I am not wrong, that's going to be tough, I am not sure if he could do it on all three together.

All the three states you have mentioned here have moved to the left-wing spectrum in the last few years. I will not even consider these states as "swing states" anymore. At the best they are light-blue states. If it is Trump vs Biden in 2024, then Biden will get a lead of 4-5% in each of these states. In Arizona and Georgia, there is a lot of demographic changes occurring, as Hispanic voters are moving in. The case with Wisconsin is different. A majority of the voters are moderates and they have moved away from the GOP during the last few years.
I don't know very well how things are handled at the level of Elections by States , I don't remember that, but I am sure of one thing, with all the War they are waging against Trump, attacking him, they want to disable his participation, they are charging him more of accusations against him , what resounds the most is that he has messed with the nuclear project documents and this is putting him to the ground , now , if he manages to get out of this , there is no doubt , I think the Advantage that they talk about Biden about Trump will fall.

I see very badly the attempt they have to make to attack it , however I have seen that one of the US states with the most Hispanics is Chicago, it is incredible , but if those who have Entered the US for pure Humanitarian Action if they can vote , Biden will Undoubtedly win.
4415  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: June 09, 2023, 09:21:29 PM
One thing that is unique about the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Canada/Mexico/United States for my country Indonesia because the time to watch the match is different. Usually we watch football matches in European leagues in the afternoon and evening, but football in the Americas is broadcast in the morning. All League in American continent play in the morning in my country time and I can't predicting what happen later if FIFA World Cup 2026 will play in the early morning and we are still sleeping  Grin.

What about your country when watching FIFA World Cup 2026 will watch in the evening, night or in the morning time like in my country.

During group stage, usually there will be three matches occurring per day. During Qatar 2022, most of the matches were held during the evening, because of weather conditions. However in the next edition, FIFA may spread out the matches, and at least some of the matches may be held during morning. And this will enable fans in Asia-Pacific to watch them live once they are back from their study/work. BTW, US-Canada comprise of several time zones and there is a 3 hour difference between Eastern time and Pacific time within the US (fortunately they haven't scheduled any matches in Alaska and Hawaii).
You're right, the idea is that people worldwide can watch it live and direct, honestly when the World Cup in Korea and Japan was held , I didn't mind getting up early to watch those games, however I'm one of those who doesn't like to get up early and still I did , this kind of thing is done to love fútbol, I am sure that in Asia there must be many who get up early or stop doing some things to be able to watch football matches, Sometimes things have to be done like this , like this be quite Sleepy all day.


The time zone difference always have its role in the viewership of a match. The previous season of FIFA used to end late night, but for most people that used to be the right time. They do all their routine and end up watching good football match. Similar scenario doesn't happen all around, the difference in time makes it bad for some to watch the matches. I don't watch much of football, but the previous FIFA made me continue watching more. All because of the unexpected results on few matches and the excitement that the country people had after the win.
I cannot deny, I also had that in my mind, the unexpected results, and despite the fact that I have played soccer all my life and I have also seen World Cups, these things had become very strange in Qatar, so at the end of everything we have to accept that That's football, I can't deny that the result that impacted me the most was when Arabia beat Argentina, because can you imagine that it would have been a final between Arabia and Argentina and that Arabia would win? That would be a high-calibre world hit, only Arabia did not know how to maintain that level, and it could have been emotions or many factors that affected it.

Wealthy people from third world countries will probably find ways to solve the problem, but of course the bulk of the tourists will be people with a high level of wealth - from wealthy countries such as Europe, Japan, South Korea, etc.
By the way, probably scammers who "guarantee" obtaining visas and the absence of problems in obtaining them, get rich at this World Cup, since people will always look for workarounds  Grin
You are very right, most especially in third world countries where the average citizens are seeking for cheaper and easier means of leaving their country, no doubt, many will fall prey to this scammers who either dissappear immediately after they collect money supposedly meant for visa, or will disappear after issuing a fake visa to their client, I thought such things as this only happen in my country, kind of surprised to realize that this bad eggs also operate in other countries as well.

Fraudsters act the same everywhere, and by the way, not all scammers disappear with money if problems with a visa could not be resolved - they return the money with an apology. The essence of the fraud is that they do nothing to guarantee a visa - for them it is a win-win lottery: if the client receives a visa, then they keep the money for themselves (attributing it to their efforts) if not, they just returns the money  Grin


Well, this thing about the scammers because of the issue of visas is something very delicate, but I don't understand how they trust these people , it's something that doesn't add up to me, however, as there is all the mess and the fuss over the World Cup, it is very logical that the people go crazy (so to speak) and it could be said that things will not be good , at least with the immigration that has been seen to go through Colombia, through the Darien jungle and travel throughout Central America until they arrive in the USA and being illegal, because things are tougher , with a temporary visa it will be the perfect excuse to enter the country , with the Immigration policies of the USA I see it easier to enter, if Trump is here I do not see it as Feasible for them to Cheat.


Even though religion and culture must be respected, prohibiting something because "it is not common for your country" seems weird to me. For example next tournament will be held in Germany. Germany is famous for their sausages and beer. Then what, all the Muslim countries should skip this tournament because of that? Or they should be forced to taste it? This cup will be held in US, and their famous food for breakfast is fried bacon aka pork - haram for Muslims. Football fans went to Qatar to enjoy football and they should be allowed to enjoy it the way they want (but what not against law).

I just dont get why I must follow other religion rules, if this is not my religion. If alcohol is prohibited, then what, I cant touch food and eat with left hand, because it is prohibited in their religion? Or there are religion things that must be followed, and some that could be avoided? Double standards again?
This is what I tell all my Islamic friends when they talk about "freedom" vs "culture". If you want people to wear a certain way when they come to your nation, then how would you feel when they asked you the same when you go there. Let's take the hijab for example, women there mostly wear it right?

So, if you were to ask women to wear it when they come to your nation, what would you feel if they ask you to remove it when you go to west? What if they told you that you can't wear it, no hijab, no burka, nothing, you have to wear a dress, that's a must and their rule and they tell you "respect our culture" as a response. Wouldn't you feel terrible about it? Wouldn't that be against the freedom? So, if you want to be able to wear whatever you want when you go to west, then let the west wear whatever they want when they come to you.
Those which are fundamentalist on their thinking will never get it, for them their way of life is the correct one while everyone else which does not follow it are mistaken, so for them is completely natural for everyone else to adjust to their culture, but if they were asked to do the same then that would be wrong, now this is a problem with all religious fundamentalists, it is just that it became very notorious during the previous world cup held at Qatar.


I have always learned something, when we are in a house that is not ours, in a country that is not ours, we must adapt to its rules and all its customs, including its religion and everything that has to do with each country, in In this case, there was a lot of talk about Qatar, which for many are very exaggerated, but as far as I am concerned, they have their rules, norms, who are we to tell them that what they are doing is wrong? We cannot let a neighbor come to our house and tell us what to do inside our house, that's how it happens in the World Cups, there are countries that have more freedoms, and some things are legal, others are not , that's the meaning of a good World Cup .
4416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering requirements for withdraw on: June 09, 2023, 08:56:45 PM
But the impact on the casinos would not be as great if more people had read the terms before withdrawing their money because the people who had read it would have won the casino. Those who read that will also blame the gambler, especially if the casino is a trusted casino that has been operating for years and has a good reputation. Every casino will have withdrawal requirements for bets so gamblers should be aware of them and read the requirements before betting. This is an important thing that gamblers must do so that they don't feel cheated by the casino. And don't try to take bonuses that have high wagering requirements.

reading the TOS before playing is a basic thing that everyone must do when they want to start gambling and make a deposit on a gambling site because gambling sites that hold events or bonuses must have a surefire way to prevent potential new players trying to manipulate the bonuses they give. I also previously said that there are many choices of gambling sites that you can try, as long as we remain critical and careful, it is unlikely that we will be deceived by gambling sites.

Of course, the trick for this here is to read everything, the TOS, but let's be clear, sometimes because we are quite excited, we don't care about anything but starting to play, and because of those emotions it makes us fall into errors that we don't They are not desired, the biggest problem appears when we make mistakes that prevent us from withdrawing our earnings , I think that is what bothers us the most, I say this because it has happened to me and of course that is where it is Understandable You must read so as not to go through bad times.

I have recently signed up in a new casino and I'm receiving some bonuses with the wagering requirements we are discussing in this thread. The thing is that I have always thought that very high wagering requirements are abusive, but taking into account that the bonuses I'm receiving aren't linked to any deposit I make, I suppose that it is fair for that "free money" to be used as "test coins" and only be able to withdraw for real money after a very lucky strike. In the meantime, the player gets fun and used to the casino at the same time.

Of course, these bonuses are meant to be the hook for many gamblers, but I don't think this is the same case as other bonuses that depend on the deposited amount of money or, of course, abusive wagering requirements for not bonuses but simple deposits.

I would say that it is essential to familiarize yourself with the site's terms and conditions, withdrawal policies, wagering requirements, and any other relevant information that may impact your ability to get the funds you've earned. Just do it right and take time to read and understand the site's user agreement, so people can make an informed decision and assess whether the platform meets your expectations and aligns well with them.

Fair point. Casino nowadays especially the new one is already modifying their ToS to compensate with their marketing like what the OP experience. Casino offer a bonus without wagering requirements so that players believe that this is a free money while the ToS indicates the wagering requirements is transfer to the deposit which is equivalent too on bonus that have a wagering requirements.

ToS is very tricky. Players should be vigilant on checking first the rules and do a screenshot as much as possible so that they can have proof in case casino alter some of their policy for their own advantage.

These kinds of things are very difficult for me to decipher, they don't say they have a wagering requirement, but are the wagering requirements intrinsically imposed on mimes? that is something really hidden and difficult for any player, have the experience that was had, I think that this could be considered as if it were cheating, but things here are seen in different ways, it may be that some are considered something normal, but I don't see it that way , I see a casino like that and I don't play, I would try to get back what I deposited , but it would be a big bother.
4417  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: June 09, 2023, 08:23:34 PM
OK guys.. now it is official. Confirmation from ESPN:

https://www.espn.in/football/blog-transfer-talk/story/4943303/transfer-talk-psg-hatch-plan-to-reunite-silva-and-mbappe

Messi will move to Al Hilal, which currently participates in the Saudi Professional League once his deal with Paris Saint-Germain expires at the end of this season. This was a very sensible move from Messi. PSG was treating him without any respect and there is no point in staying somewhere by compromising on self-respect. And there is more. Rumors are that Sergio Busquets may also join Al Hilal. Jordi Alba is yet another player who is rumored to be in talks with Al Hilal at this point. Anyway, next season of the Saudi Professional League is going to be super exciting.

@Sithara007 it’s not an official announcement because Messi's team has said that this news is not true and any decision will be taken at the end of the season. Also PSG never disrespected him and if you’re talking about that current suspension then its a right call because in the future any player would go on a leave without permission and cite Messi’s case hence it’s an right call by them to suspend Messi for breaking the club rule.
I think that if that is the case , things could go better for Messi, the truth is that I wouldn't mind if Messi had to pay a clause with money, I think that what that clause payment will gain in Arabia will be like taking a hair out of a cat, however, Messi should not doubt for a single second, I have not yet seen that it is Completely official, but I hope it is, and this means that this league is taking the lead, the Arabs are taking these Leagues like the others best in the world if Stars come to contribute to their fútbol, not bad for them.

Lionel Messi knows how huge the financial package that comes with playing in the Saudi Arabian league. But what makes the decision to play in Saudi Arabia come next very difficult for Lionel Messi is that his beloved Barcelona wants to bring him back to the Camp Nou.
Lionel Messi loves Barcelona so dearly and would do anything possible for the fans of the club who are used to worshiping him but can he be able to turn down the huge financial rewards that comes with playing in the Saudi League? Time will tell

What you say is very true, what happens is the following, if we take into consideration the way in which they took Messi out of Barcelona, it was something very unfair for what Messi represents as a player and as a human being, no matter how badly I set a They cannot treat him with little humanity, because Barcelona has so many trophies thanks to Messi, because I am sure that without him they would not have achieved so much, because the rival at that time was always Real Madrid and that is something that we all remember. , so the way they took him out is not correct, I would not go, I would leave that cycle already closed and I would go to a quieter place to finish my degree.

Messi is always in the spotlight indeed the latest news is that Messi is willing to join Inter Miami but previously there was other news he did not refuse to join the Saudi league rumors he delayed a year to join there meaning he still has an interest in joining anywhere it's just that next season he wants to try the experience in the American league, Messi  father plays a role in a negotiation.

Yes.. as far as I know, Messi has confirmed that he is moving to Inter Miami. The financial details were not revealed though. I am sure that he would have landed a lucrative deal, although it may be not as good as the one offered by the Saudi side (£345million per year was being offered by Al Hilal). The offer from the MLS club maybe similar to the one offered to David Beckham by LA Galaxy back in 2007. Messi might be offered an opportunity to become one of the co-owners of Inter Miami. And that will be financially rewarding for him in the long run.

There are speculations that he was given a bigger deal in Inter Miami than the one given from the Saudi side club, Al Hilal. Even after he retires from football, the contract will last a long time. I'm sure it has some stakes in valuable enterprises and companies in the United States that will net him significantly more money in the long run. It seemed like a decent idea and a good move to me, and I wish him the best of luck in his new career path.
Well, honestly, I believe that Messi should not go to Inter Miami, firstly because the MLS is for me a way to retire from football and Messi is an iconic player and it is not fair that he burns out in that league, I think things here They can be seen that way, as far as I'm concerned I think that Al Hilal's proposition is the best for him, besides going to Arabia is a calmer country, they would love him, they would never go against Messi like the fans did PSG, things are as they should be, legends like these who still play should feel supported and never stop, once both Messi and CR7 retire from football they will leave a huge void.

Messi interest in Inter Miami: PSG, Barca teammate Neymar knew all along



Quote

The soccer world is still wrapping its head around Lionel Messi's bombshell announcement this week stating his intention to join MLS club Inter Miami CF. Well, most of the soccer world.

One of the Argentine legend's closest friends – former FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain teammate Neymar – claims he was aware of Messi's impending move to South Beach well before the decision was made public.

"I already knew," the Brazilian superstar responded with a chuckle when asked to comment during an interview with NBA Brazil in Florida.

"... I already knew that he would come here and we already talked. I said to him that he would be very happy because of the city, the lifestyle and the opportunity of playing and living here in Miami."

In street gambling , in order to bust the cheating and rigging of result, one must report it to the authority and authority will exercise the las in order to punsh the person who are caught cheating.
Street gambling is generally not legal so if they operate there then how can street gambling operators be prosecuted if there is a crime committed there? Because they themselves are breaking the gambling laws. Generally, street gambling is not organized crime at that location. When a gambler conducts gambling there, others may be tricked, and if he wins big money, he may be watched by onlookers. Which is not possible in any land base casino. Generally, street gambling involves gambling with relatively small amounts of money, which does not cause much trouble.
It is very true, because the Games in the street are rigged, how can you protest? If the majority of people who do it and implement these games have their own Elements of the law that are the same ones that they hire in order to enforce what they implement , when in the street we have to Surrender to that we must stick to what they say to their Rules, and if you don't want to Stick to it , it's only Better if you don't get close to this type of games, which for me I Consider quite Dangerous , then if the Person is very afraid of this type of juices with that Additional Risk , it is less that you do not Assume them.

Even with high bankroll martingale can easily eat and deplete you fund especially when you encounter a series of reds in your roll. 20+ red streak can possibly make your bankroll negative  and we all know that 20+ read streak is very possible.  I even experience this in spinning a slot. 20+ dead spin.  Imagine if I martingale my bet and I experience that 20+ streak. 
If someone doesn't realize that getting to 10+ is a sign, he should stop immediately and doesn't stop gambling. Instead, he will only run out of money if he uses big bets, especially if he gets 20+ a series of reds.

For slot games, usually after getting several losses, we can get a win which, even though it's a small win, can make us continue to gamble. So for gambling, I think it's really worth it if we stick with small bets even though we have a big bankroll because it sure hurts to see all our balances used up that day.
Usually that is true, but not every single time. You could get a lot of losses that will eventually make you run out of money and there is no return from there, it just doesn't work like that. I have seen people turn just a few dollars into thousands of dollars and then end up losing it all back again. Casinos have house edge on their side which means that it would not be possible for anyone to just keep on gambling and win.

If you gamble long enough, then you are going to end up with a loss eventually and that is the end of it, that's just going to be the case for sure, without a doubt. I hope that it gets to a point where it will not be possible for anyone to just keep on gambling for a long time and still not face 20+ losses in a row, if you keep gambling, you will reach that one day.
Reaching 20 losses in a row is not much, I have seen up to 40 losses in a row , that when I was playing at that time I came to think that the casino did not want to let me win more and that they were signing me up to lose, but then I began to Investigate about the probably fair and from there a great interest came from many people who wanted to beat the system, and remembering those times where I played so much, I wonder if the AI in the near future if it has that capacity, because it is not difficult for it nothing to learn, it is a matter of days , for you to Learn something at a master level.


honestly it's hard to imagine that a person can lose 40 consecutive times, to be honest that person even playing dice at auto bet won't have so much bad luck to the point of losing a lot consecutively, but nothing is impossible in gambling, if the person loses more than 5 consecutive times in sports betting, then this person needs to stop playing with greater urgency, otherwise this person will be walking towards addiction and will sell everything he has to continue playing, because in games of chance in which luck depends on winning if the person is not lucky enough to win something considerable even when he has played many games then he needs to stop playing that game and try another game

I saw a lot of people playing plinko for example and so I thought about playing too, at first I managed to convert from 5$ to 13$ but for some strange reason since I started losing, I didn't stop losing until I reached 0$, honestly that day I felt bad, but so bad that I stopped playing plinko forever, until my day turned bad, I couldn't understand how it was possible to lose so much, from 13 to 0 in a short time, but today I see that gambling that depend on luck are not worth playing because I won't be lucky to win something
Oh wow, 40 consecutive red is a wild. I haven't seen that kind of number on a losing streak in my whole life. I will personally reflect on myself if on that kind of losing streak. If you manage to lose 40 times in a row means you have balls of steel to try to gamble again and an incredible amount of unluckiness on your side. Our luck can't be measured but if we experience a bad day, it would be nice to still have money to take home and not letting all of your money getting burned on a casino. Casino can easily remove your luck even if you won multiple times on different days, Casino only took hours to get back all of the profits that you gained on several days of playing.
It's funny how you say it, but yes, honestly losing or having 40 reds is very possible and that makes one very angry, because it is obvious that one thinks that the game is rigged and it is something that is not out of the ordinary That is why I have always said that things here when it comes to playing with the dice, what I learned is that you should play little and if you want to play hard, make big bets almost at the beginning, because the results are quick Otherwise, the things that can be Obtained in the long term by Playing and playing are very low , the chances of winning , this is my Personal Opinion.

Well, but this is a very easy problem to solve, what I don't understand is how this fight still can't be done, well, in another aspect I don't think Fulton is someone who is avoiding fighting Inoue at all costs, but when he doesn't know You can, well, you can't, so here the solution is easy, they should look for another opponent for Inoue, it doesn't matter who it is, Inoue knows what he's going to face, he knows that the blows are going to hit him much harder, so this is something that should be taken into consideration, there is no other way, I don't think there aren't other boxers willing to fight him , whoever he is will always be an honor.

They should understand and know that boxing industry is also a business industry which means that it is almost unavoidable that the sanctioning bodies and promoters will literally take advantage of the situation especially if they know that it will be a huge fight as that will mean a money in their pockets as well. Might be unfair to some, yes, but again, it is also a business.
^Definitely right and I agree.
People should understand and recognize that the boxing industry operates as a business. This means that sanctioning bodies and promoters often seize the opportunity to exploit situations, particularly when there is a highly anticipated fight that promises significant financial gain. While this may appear unfair to some, it is an inherent aspect of the business side of boxing. The financial success of these events translates to financial gains for those involved. Understanding this dynamic is very important to comprehending the decisions and actions taken by various stakeholders in the sport.

Well, they can try and get loud about the issue but it won't go anywhere because it is what it is. Every boxers have their own time to shine and it's up to them how will they take advantage of the limelight while they having the crowd's attention, and if people is not convinced about their skills and ability then there's nothing they can do about it.

People just cannot understand the fact that everyone can be a boxer but only few are born to be a champion and make a difference in the league/industry.

Yes every potential fighters have their time to shine and once it will become then for sure a lot of fans will support them and follow their fights. Like what inoue already achieve he is now one of the best of the best fighters in the whole world and maybe he have a chance to become a legendary in the world of boxing. All he need is to win this fight and for sure he can step to another division.
There is no doubt about that, as long as it is about big fighters and that they are genius style, it does not matter, they adapt to any type of weight as long as they are given and have a good training, because the blows they will receive will be with more force and this means that their body must adapt to the weight in question, once they get used to it, what comes next is to apply what they know and what they have always done, surely that is like a switch, at least I know that Inoue will not affect him, and he has had a lot of time to adapt to a new category, the best thing about boxing is when they level up, it is much better and more sought after.

WBA: Tapales to fight Inoue-Fulton winner




Quote
The WBA Championships Committee have approved WBA super bantamweight champion Marlon Tapales to unify his belt against the July 25 winner of Naoya Inoue and Stephen Fulton. They also ordered former champ Murodjon Akhmadaliev and Tomoki Kameda to meet in a final eliminator to determine the division’s mandatory challenger.

Tapales dethroned Akhmadaliev last April 8 to win the crown in a controversial and close fight. Matchroom Boxing made a direct rematch request to the WBA and although there are elements that could support it, it is not feasible to do so at this time.
