Things can always get worse for Chelsea, but this season they seem to have broken through a lower limit. Chelsea have already made a big mistake with the appointment of Potter, who was inexperienced and proved to be of no added value to Chelsea, and it has now become a complete mess. Lampard cannot solve that in a few games either, but will certainly have time to come up with something next season. Then there must be a good plan in the summer, otherwise it will be very difficult for Chelsea. Maybe spend a few more million as an idea? haha
Clubs in Chelsea categories are already picking up in this season but Chelsea has continued to lose its relevance in thos season with the constant losses in all matches, and if they keep at that, it may become easier for them to dive down more on the table most especially now that clubs like new castles United are busy accumulating point to keep their sustainability in the league for better position going forward.

But then even with the six goals, Newcastle will have to perform a miracle to be able to come up longer that the top 10 on the league table this season, even. They went further to win Chelsea.

That sounds like a frustrating situation. It's understandable to feel concerned if a casino asks for Know Your Customer (KYC) verification after winning an amount above the usual threshold.
Exactly and most importantly if the KYC threshold is covered in the T&C of the casino and this can be of importance for the gambler to take note of that requirement and be willing to pass through the KYC process if the player has gone through the KYC process but the casino denied the player his withdrawal still it then clear that that is a case of clear scam attempt and should be reported at will.

Many and most of the accusations that have spring up in recent time here have been majorly about kyc and what it demand and process have been, and it looks as if some scam casinos are using the kyc process to steal from players by not allowing them to withdraw even though they pass the kyc process.

Why have we heard multiple threads both discussing the importance of education and just as? It has been emphasized in both threads it will be good. Observation states that the place of education can not be undermined in any form since education is the bedrock of human civilization and this has been reflected in the quality of life the individuals leave to a great extent, humans' productivity has depended so much on the level of their education.

Must works of life have been categorized based on the educational qualification of the individuals and that determines how much they earn as annual income from jobs even on this forum there is what we call rank which almost equals the level of education of the members is the same as the outside world. So getting an adequate and basic education is very important for the life of any individual.
4404  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Which one is important? Knowledge or Experience? Or both in Bitcoin Learning! on: April 23, 2023, 05:37:51 PM
Internet knowledge= theories
Experience overtime= practical.
Both have difference results on the investment and the financial analysis of the ops and this can be reflected in the outcome of their financial statements and investment results.

So if you ask me I will say experience plus knowledge= of successful financial decisions born out of track records with years of experience and knowledge of different times. It requires time to build both experience and knowledge and both are what pay off in the long term.

I have to agree with you, the forum reputation is not always correct that is true but what cannot be denied is that it is overwhelmingly in favour of 1xbit/1xbit1 not being trusted. With those sorts of numbers you will find it impossible to be taken seriously in this forum.

Who will believe you when you say you are under new management? That card was already played by you in the past. Your reputation is in tatters and will probably never recover until or unless a miracle takes place because you simply will continue to periodically scam.

There are still debates about our reputation on this forum, but our security and issue resolution team is not much of a difference with most of the casinos on this forum. You may find our first posts - even they've had a tough welcome due to the first managment mistakes. And we received a few accusations from trusted forum users where it's clearly seen from our side that their accounts broke the rules. Forum's reputation isn't always accurate.
It baffled me how a casino team will regard forum trust as untrue and even though the official admitted the gults of so-called first management, so what are? Weto expect from the 1xbits team even though they received multiple red trust ratings from reputable forum members and to what extent has the red tag pushed back potential victims? It's ok if the ops regard forum trust as none relevant and have continued to push through with their presence in this forum.

But the good news is that their presence has continued to diminish and only newbies who are not on thos forums can fall, the victim if not we have constantly continued to spread the red light warning against this casino here in the forum.
4406  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: April 23, 2023, 03:38:26 PM
In the case of the ops mentioned in this thread, it's clear that the gambler was out of luck and risked too much on the bet due to the low odds and thinking that it was a sure odds for him to stake such an amount even though the reward seems extremely low.
This is done because low odds can mostly give a greater percentage of wins.
The house is the winner in gambling, so if in a bet someone has a bigger winning percentage, the house will further reduce the profit opportunities so that when many gamblers win, the casino will only spend a little money.
So it's only natural if someone dares to take risks with quite a lot of money even though the prizes are relatively lower, friend.
But after all, gambling is something that is uncertain and the end result can change and go against logic, so we must always be careful.
Off course low odds are perceived to be the sure odds and this is why so many gambler rely on low odds to stake a high amount, the reason why that reward are few and to get a tangible amount a stake need to be extremely high.

So I don't blame the ops in the thread entirely because he takes such a huge amount with the hope of winning and for sure 14k is a big win for just a bet if his luck hard worked, but unfortunately, he was a dick and hard to lose the entire amounts this is why many have suggested he stake a lower amount.
4407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: April 23, 2023, 09:41:14 AM
Facing Celta Vigo shouldn't be a big problem for Madrid, so far from the many meetings between the two teams, Madrid is far superior and almost always wins.  Madrid will get 3 points for sure, but not all of the points will be dropped by ancelotti because he will definitely be more focused on the strategy to beat Man City in the semifinals of the UCL later.
Of course, Ancelotti as Madrid coach will definitely pay attention to the match against Manchester City in the Champions League semifinals. But I think as a big club like Real Madrid even though there is no hope for the league, Real Madrid will still chase victory in the Celta Vigo game even though they are playing with substitute players because I think Real Madrid has a squad that is strong enough to be able to play well even with substitute players. .

Every match is considered important by Real Madrid and they will definitely try to win in every game they face because it is important to increase the team's confidence to face Manchester City in the UCL later. I'm sure Ancelotti will choose the best strategy to face Celta Vigo and try to win, while still considering the important match against Manchester City later.
using a good strategy against Celta Vigo is a must because Madrid must be able to finish as runners up and not let Atletico take their place.  Apart from that, using a new strategy when facing Celta Vigo will have a good positive impact on the Madrid squad so that Man City cannot easily guess what strategy Anclotti will use when Madrid face them in the UCL.
Real Madrid has become a commendable club lately with their performance in the last game and I can assure you that Celta Vigo is not up to the level to stop Real Madrid from becoming the first runner-up from La Liga Spanish wing to face Manchester City for the European wing to battle for the champions league trophy this season. Even though Barcelona and Atletico Madrid try to compete for the same position, Real Madrid is in more positions than both of those clubs this season so I am sure Real Madrid is going to finish this season strong.

Of course it is, nobody have a 100% win record, you just must be good enough to win more often then you lose and check up the games before you bet and minimize the luck.
Luck is also an important factor in gambling and since it is impossible to win continually without any loss and also vis-vassal in trying to minimize the number of losses its most important to meet up with the necessary input that will guarantee you winning and relying a little on Luck and these mechanisms have worked for a lot of gamblers in minimizing risk.

In the case of the ops mentioned in this thread, it's clear that the gambler was out of luck and risked too much on the bet due to the low odds and thinking that it was a sure odds for him to stake such an amount even though the reward seems extremely low.

A little update here

Let's start with ghostingura2's situation - there is an option on 1xBit to ask for account closure if you know you are gamling addicted, and it is mentioned on the site. 1xBit can't control someone's actions and prevent them from any damage, that is a common sense i suppose.

but he is not asking about those instead they are asking for their money to be returned and this is what you need to address.

Quote

nerdynaf, you should have received a reply from the security team already, please check your email.

and what does the security say?


" WE STOP COLLABORATING WITH YOU AS WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU ARE BREAKING OUR RULES"?  Grin


I think there is a lot of mixing up here and the term of service needs to be properly studied and at this point is clear that the 1xbit team need to point out some detailed fact about the condition of self-exclusion because this has not only been peculiar with 1xbit alone, we have some other gambling sites that still hold back all funds once the player option for self-exclusion. Sometimes the feature is configured in a way that it places the player as an offender and triggers an auto ban and this will result in the freezing of the account.

So my advice to anyone who thinks you are gambling excessively,  and want to close your account is you should first withdraw all your balance from the site before optioning for self-exclusion.
4410  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 22, 2023, 10:37:02 PM
Sorry but it does not make sense to me.  So are you saying that researching is also a gambling because it also improve your predicting skills? And also is watching people gambling can be also considered a gambling because it encourages you to gamble? 
Obviously watching and researching alone doesn't mean you're gambling, when others get good at predicting it can mislead them into thinking they can apply it to gambling with ease. What i'm trying to point out in my earlier post is that it's close enough to be called gambling because they're almost identical as you go through a similar process, and for sportsbooks, it's one way for them to slowly lure in new players and possibly convert them to regular players in the future. Some gambling sites even do it in other games like poker as they regularly host freeroll tournaments.
I think we should try to separate gambling and gamling motivations because if you say researching about games or watching footbal matches is also gambling it then means participating in the signature that promotes a casino could also be seen as gambling too, and if that be the case I will say that we have had grave misconceptions on the subject of discussion right here.

It's possible to gamble without money but it is impossible to become a gambler in proxy, so get some straight in here.

No matter how anyone will look at it, Bitcoin remains the asset with the greatest potential for a future positive outcome of events, and if you are looking for an investment that will guarantee peace of mind and stability, Bitcoin happens to be the best option for that, and since we have seen a lot of new coins that pause themselves as projects with good potentials, it important to note the risk side of altcoin compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is best for long-term goals since its investment requires time to mature and while you are at that, you can take time to build more knowledge on other aspects of Bitcoin that will be of help to your financial life and how to analyse the market properly.
4412  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Fight against corruption on: April 22, 2023, 10:15:55 PM
How easy for a new president who is been elected to fight corruption in a nation where all the systems of government is been corrupted,  like in the force,  and judiciary,  even the politicians.

Having  the mind to stop corruption is not easy in a nation that corruption  is seen as nothing, making an attempt to do so some politicians will do everything to frustrate the agenda. Do you think a genuine president can easily end corruption of this level ?
It will be an impossible task, for a nob to try to fight corruption althat is already systematically intended, I have had a few politicians with such a mindset that they will fight corruption but in the end, they become more corrupt themselves and that is the power of systematic corruption and the only way to deal with that form of corruption is a.total change of the existing systems, this may sound unrealistic but that is the only solution to curing the current class of corruption.

No matter how uncorrupted a politician is before winning an election, the system is always there to incubate him/her into the existing corrupt practices that have become the major challenges to our democratic development and growth as a nation and since there is no such thing as a national development policy that will serve as a guide to government officials actions and in action it becomes easier for corrupt elements to penetrate through any office holder no matter what his stand is with corruption.

As suggested only thing that can be done is through reducing the stake, because we can't be sure of the outcome. With the mentioned odd losing the bet is really unbelievable, but things happen for our bad luck. Maybe this bet loss could be a big learning for more other users who have the mentality to go for high stakes on low odds.
it's quite simple that all types of bets in gambling still depend on luck even though sports betting is famous for the greater luck that you get from analyzing one of the teams, but there will always be surprises in every match. so there's no need to be too greedy for betting large amounts at small odds.
and some people here must think that the guy bet 1.4 million dollars just because of greed.
Yeah, luck plays an important role in gambling and history can attest to that simple fact alit of the time most gamblers have a hard they fortune change all with just luck and this could be in both ways, gambling requires high risk and even though you did you analyses of the possible outcome of the game, some uncontrollable events and mistakes can twist everything in whatever directions, sometimes it favours the player and other time the player will lose outrightly just like the case of the oos in this story.

So we will still rely much on luck no matter the level of our expertise in the game, this is the reality we must leave within gambling, but then the responsibility of how much we risk on a bet is left for us to decide and in most case, it is better to stake a smaller amount instead taking some deadly risks.
4414  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: IS IT SAFE TO INVEST PENSION FUNDS IN BITCOIN? on: April 22, 2023, 09:44:37 PM
Bitcoin is a very risky investment don't think it is a good plan for one to invest all his pension funds in it. The price is never stable it can easily increase or decrease in value.Better to invest only a little amount if he is willing to invest and take the risk.Also the long-term hold should make good profits.
I won't even consider Bitcoin as a good investment for any portion of the pension founds even if not everything,  the risk of too much for a retiree hasn't to. Wait for 5-10 years is truly a long period pf time for senior citizens.

But for a young person who has a lot of time to study and build adequate knowledge and a long time to wait for Bitcoin is the best possible investment to secure the future.

The hype about AI is becoming too much in this forum and most members tend to believe that artificial intelligence can be used to perform every task that humans could, failing to undermine what it takes to develop such not that could compete against human ability in any form, one of the industry I think Artificial intelligence will never be successful is gambling industry, the use of AI will not be taken likely and the casino will do everything posible to develop the means to always counter the possibility of artificial intelligence success on the casino.

And most are already taking steps to match up with current demand to secure the future of the platform unless for thos threads I have not seen AI making any major discussion on the concerns of AI involvement in gambling.
.
it's okay this is only temporary because the hype is always excessive.
to be honest, I agree with your statement that maybe we think too much about AI being able to beat the house edge in the future, while gambling always has a way so that it can't be cheated, maybe even starting to hype AI, even gambling has prepared everything before AI develops even further. so it's very unlikely that the AI can beat the house.


btw, AI is also needed by casinos to be used in chatrooms on gambling which can help the support team to save a bit of time.
The unnnassery hype and free promotions that AI is getting around here so we need to give AI development some time to truly prove its worth in competing or assisting human efforts to accomplish tasks with less effort.

But again gambling industry will be a hard nut to crack and artificial intelligence may not be successful in this industry since casinos already have developed systems to checkmate bot activities and dictation.

The answer to some of those questions are is the FTX United state under license if yes, that will lead to another question of if FTX United was under any insurance and if the answer to that question is yes, then the users of the exchange who have balance in the accounts before the crisis will get reimbursement from the insurance company.

Just like I read somewhere we're FTX Insurance company will soon begin to repay users from Japan or so,  I can't remember the thread again but I read it somewhere here in the forum.

We have Roma vs Leverkusen and Juventus vs Sevilla in the semi finals. Juventus & Roma stand out as big clubs who may be favourites to make the final but I have a sneaky feeling Leverkusen might get to the final. Xabi Alonso was a very clever footballer and he seems to be doing well since he took over there. I’m rooting for Leverkusen, I think Alonso will get them to the final.
judging from recent results the battle for the semifinalist have taken a new twist, with most of the perceived smaller clubs are performing incredibly well in the matches against bigger clubs and being able to either play a draw or posible winning thos have made it hard for us to predict the outcome of the above mentioned matches.

Sevila,, for instance, has performed well in their last match where they drew against one of the top clubs in the champion league and won most of the recent matches, so there is a high possibility to see them do well in those matches again.
4419  Economy / Economics / Re: How do feels losing money? on: April 22, 2023, 08:19:50 PM

Making the incident that happened to Op as a lesson is what we and Op can do. Op should be more careful and no longer trust anyone he knows too much when it comes to money. because anyone at this time is talking about money it will be a fairly sensitive issue. Because everyone needs money nowadays. Even good people can turn into bad people when it's about money. So putting trust in someone about our money is a mistake. be it business or whatever. be more careful and make everything a lesson so you don't get caught up in the same scam again. but I understand what the Op feels. because regret, anger and sadness will certainly fill OP's thoughts and feelings. but he has to get over it and think about the next step to come back to be able to make more money and forget what he lost.
The big lesson is that we should not be greedy and not run after quick profits to avoid any form of investment that we are not directly in a charge of or not 100% involved in it ruining, this is the only way to stay away from scams.

Most of those who fall victim to such investment scams are looking for third-party investors who will be in charge of their funds instead of being in charge of t investment themselves.
4420  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: April 22, 2023, 08:11:19 PM
I agree with you 100% that - "it's really risky playing an huge amount. This not helps gambler because the risk is much much higher then rewards!"

Me personal would never bet like this, i bet normal amounts and looking for odds all from 1.50x and up.
I rarley touch odds under 1.40x
Even with such odds there is still likelyhood that tou still will lose and when it comes to gambling, we should note the place for luck and if we have no luck by our side whateverthe odds or the staking amount will be it will still not get us rewards as expected.

So the gambler who risked such amount may have run out of luck this time because a 1.01 odds is relatively a sure odds to bet whaatever amount on.

But you said it very good "the risk is much much higher tthan thanrewards!"

Much better to play with 5% of the money and find a very doable double or single around 2x and then work himself up, that's aat least how would do.
So.e time, no risk and no reward, but definitely 1.14 million dollars risk is too much for anyone to bear then shit happens and oos need to move on at this moment since he can afford to risk an amount of 1.14 million in pote al 14k rewards it sounds ridiculous.
