If one look at Darmstadt's performance over the whole season, one cannot doubt that Darmstadt will be promoted. They lost their first match in the Bundesliga against Regensburg with 0:2. Since then, they have not lost a game. They will probably continue this remarkable series against Heidenheim. One could see in the game against Hamburg that they still remain calm even when they are behind with goals. Only Hamburg has that kind of calmness too. If everything stays the same both clubs will be promoted directly.

It is crystal clear that Darmstadt will be going in the Bundesliga next season,I was just giving a quick look to the stats at the standings from Flashscore and they have only lost one game in this season,that pretty much sums it up for me.I don't think though that they will be staying for long in the Bundesliga as we have seen them before anytime they have been promoted they have been again relegated after a couple of years,so in this context Darmstadt looks like not a team with stable finances to afford staying and competing for long in the Bundesliga.

When I saw the win description of $42.20 on Free Spins, it was still a huge win because few people could win that much, especially with the huge multiplier you get. I think I'm interested in playing it because of the victory Grin

But I'm curious how many rounds do you do? Do you use automatic rotation or manual? Maybe I can try to imitate what you did. Who knows I could also be as lucky as you.

Well I have my so called "strategy" which is to piss of the provider as much as you can,how can you do that you say?It is easy,you play with a big balance but keep using the minimum bet,I have a belief that when I do this the game provider gets somewhat confused as sure the RTP jumps in but it takes much more time for you to lose the money so this means that you play a much longer session,thus greatly increasing your chances to get a bit more the bonus round than playing with other bets.

Then it relies on luck,during these bonus rounds,will you ever go to that final stage of x100 or it will just keep you in the loop and get you bored,only this is the deciding factor.I play manual or autobet,normal spin or fast spin,these do not modify at all the game behavior,again this is just my belief and since you asked I am replying it here.

It was a game of men vs children. Totally expected though, Hajduk is nowhere near good enough to challenge Dinamo.
It should not be perceived as end of the world though - the difference is realistic, Dinamo has a far bigger budget and more quality and depth.

Hajduk is finally doing some things right, but it's still a long way to the top. History has shown they are impatient and will throw away all the good that has been done so far away soon enough.
even though they had to lose to Dinamo due to differences in player quality and strategy, Hajduk played quite well and produced 3 'shots on target' against Dinamo's goal. livaja is a great striker hajduk who is the current top scorer, luckily dynamo has a very good goalkeeper (livakovic) so livaja failed to score a goal.

That pretty much sums up well what has been going on in the Croatian Liga 1 for some time now.Dinamo is the strongest team there and it looks like other clubs like Hajduk their historical rival together with Rijeka sometime are not able to fight back or create a really good team in order to compete with them.

Even if Hajduk has been consistently producing good players from their academy we are not seeing any result here because most likely these players move away to other clubs for more money than Hajduk can afford to pay them.

It was only normal for Messi to win it this year,he was in competition with Mbappe and Benzema and they did play against each other in the final of the World Cup where Messi and Argentina were the better team and they were world Champions.Also France did not convince as much as Argentina did during the World Cup,well except the opening game against Saudi Arabia and then they were on fire from a perfect game to another and this of course had its own weight in this year FIFA awards,so I think the choice is correct for this year.

Erik Ten Hag has done a good job improving Manchester United in just a short time. This shows that experience matters so much in handling managerial positions something I think Graham Potter is still lacking but I won't rate Manchester United to win the Europa league now because their are still good teams who actually match their stats still competing for the trophy.
Well I would definitely rate them capable of securing the Europa league, Manchester united team has really change in every aspect of their game play as you have clearly stated above. The Europa league is still filled with good teams but I don't see any which this current Manchester united team cannot team defeat, they have the player, the teamwork and draftsmanship of a coach and every possibility whatsoever to win the Europa league this season and am also looking forward to them securing it.

Any team who could have eliminated Barcelona like Manchester United did and with a great performance we can clearly call them the strongest contender to this year Europa League.They can eliminate anyone from the remaining teams and I think the odds for them to win Europa League despite being one of the strongest should be really sweet as I am assuming well over 2 for such achievement while it might be even higher than that,of course a great way to make some money for ourselves,for the people who are patient enough as it takes time for this bet to come.

Arsenal vs Everton tonight, hopefully Arteta’s machine keeps rolling. I don’t see Everton putting up much of a fight if I’m honest. They’ve been terrible all season which leads us to Liverpool vs Wolves. LFC have been really bad, hopefully we can somehow get a win but I am far from confident.

For me tonight it will be one of the rare cases in the Premier League where both favorites will win their game and I would go further than that,they most likely will both have a clean sheet during such games.I don't see Wolves putting a big fight either against Liverpool despite their somewhat good results recently,Liverpool need to win at all cost before their fans after they screwed up really bad in Champions League against Real Madrid and they were even leading 2-0 in that game.I am sure the fans wait a big answer from them tonight and as such the odd of 1.50 is a very good one for Liverpool to be placing our bets on.

Many local social media wrote Marquez was a little disappointed with Honda. This was because Honda's development of the Bike did not appropriate expectations. This left him dissatisfied and there were rumours of Ducati being interested in him. This is because he also hasn't gotten a contract renewal that expires in 2024. Indeed, if you look at the current strength of Ducati I am pessimistic about the strength of Honda and Yamaha. In addition there are four Ducati teams at the moment, that means there are eight riders.
This rumor seems to have begun to be debunked now, although I did not have time to read about the rumor because in the past two days there have also been many local media saying that Ducati is no longer interested in Marquez. And that was said directly by the Director of Sport for Ducati, Paolo Ciabatti, by emphasizing that there was no need for Marc Marquez in the ranks of his racers for MotoGP. The current material is quite satisfactory. Which means that Ducati has closed the door for Marc Marquez because maybe his time has passed, and besides that, Ducati itself also has many young riders in their satellite team at this time. Source: id.motorsport.com

They at Ducati must be feeling really confident to close the door to a talent like Marquez.They only could have benefits from him as I think someone needs to remind them of the Stoner era where Honda was the best bike but Casey Stoner could ride a Ducati like no one couldn't at that time and he won a season with this team.I think that if they left the door open for Marquez,it would be the same,he would win with a good bike normally thanks to his skills but he would also be a great challenger to the title even if Ducati had not the best bike.

I have difficulties confirming the above for their satellite drivers.

It's very hard for a cashout to be stable before cashing out, it comes and go. I mean whenever the Cashout option is being enabled you have to be fast and possibly to cash otherwise the option might off. I have similar experience with Bet9ja when I was about cashing out the option got disabled, it was as a result of me not being smarter enough to click it, anyway is never the website fault rather you.

I always bet on Stake but never in table tennis,only in soccer betting or F1 and no other sports and I have cashed out several times during the live cashout option and sometimes the cashout didn't pass as it changed because of some odds,there is nothing wrong on the provider site in this scenario,sometimes when my live cashout was blocked is because the game was 1-0 and was just equalized 1-1 and as such the option was grayed out during the time I pressed cashout,I think a similar situation must have happened to OP in here.

In Ebay you can get them brand new less than 500 right now and there are a lot of them,you can also find them there with a very good price pre owned,I don't know if they have been used for mining but judging that they were removed from Dell or HP computers I highly doubt these used cards have been used for mining and the used price is 300 dollars and in a very few cases you can even find it for less.I don't know what is your import duties but right now seem that there are a lot of these cards available and at their power consumption they for me can be considered a very good deal at these prices.

Quote from: Pokapoka124
Arsenal have set their target on winning the premier league this season. Judging from how they have shown confidence so far, even after losing to Manchester City and dropping to second position with City leading by goal aggregates, Arsenal remained determined and bounced back to winning ways again to overtake Manchester City and go back to top position. Against Everton I'm anticipating a better performance and must win game for Arsenal.

Despite, Arsenal are on top of the premier league table doesn't mean they will win this title because Manchester city are fully ready to take over that position from Arsenal to maintain the position until they embrace the title again in this season. I think, there is hope for Manchester city to win their next match because their opponent are not too strong to stop Manchester city not to score goals that will bring victory at the end of the match. I don't think, Arsenal will achieve victory from Everton in their next match because Everton will do everything possible to ensure they make their defense and midfield solid from the beginning till the end of the match to reduce Arsenal points.
Do you think Arsenal will want to give up? Who says Manchester City is the proper Premier League owner if you can work for it, fine you win it. The trophy is not meant for one person others should work towards being better than football and if it is about the strength of Arsenal that's not a problem just that whenever Arsenal is playing against Manchester City they always feel pressured Arsenal really needs to work on that, Arsenal has the players, the talent, and the resources to do so. And if it's about Arsenal playing against manchester city am sure of their victory my prediction is a straight win.

They will not play each other again as far as I know Arsenal vs City as Arsenal lost 1-3 in this encounter.This does not mean anything though,just because they lost a battle does not mean that they will lose the war,in fact they are winning the war to the Premier League title as they are being a bit more consistent than City is.Tonight they have a very good opportunity to further widen the gap against City if they manage to win the game against Everton which is easily doable for them.

City is also playing in Champions League and we don't have much games left in the Premier League and this can impact their overall performance which translates into Arsenal better chances to win the Premier League this year.

There is no clear reason indeed even now I don't know why he can't be featured even in the EPL
the possibility is injury. the hope is that he will be in the squad because indeed without De Bruyne's presence Manchester City have lost a good supply of bait in midfield even though they are still very good but with De Bruyne's presence they are clearly much better.

It doesn't seem like an injury, because after I had a bit to find out it looks like or maybe Kevin De Bruyne is sick but not injured. Because when Manchester City played in the Champions League against Leipzig, in fact Kevin De Bruyne was not included in the squad.

But after that, when Manchester City played in the Premier League against Bournemouth, the reality was that Kevin De Bruyne was on the bench. So yes, Kevin De Bruyne is not injured but only has an illness and hopefully Kevin De Bruyne will get well soon so he can play in the second leg against Leipzig because Kevin De Bruyne's presence in Manchester City's main squad is still very much needed.
It is possible but whatever the reason is now he is back with the players and in the second leg later my hope is clear he will play as a general in the midfield because this can add a breakthrough for Manchester City.
Even though their wings are still very good, Manchester City is incomplete without the figure of De Bruyne in the midfield.

Even without many players I firmly believe that Manchester City will qualify further because if we compare both teams players individually then we realize that even with bench players Manchester City is clearly better than Leipzig.

The fact that they are playing at their home field in front of their fans this second leg is another beneficial factor for them and most likely Leipzig will suffer a defeat with a big number of goals scored,Manchester City focus is let's say a bit more in the Champions than the Premier League right now.

Not the greatest of multiplier tonight but still the fact that I got another final stage of the bonus round in my new favorite slot which is Diamonds of the Realm makes me very happy and what makes me even happier is that with just 50 dollars gambled I won the bonus round at least 23 times despite the majority of them being empty rounds.By playing this game I just need a mere 1.88% to become VIP level 1 at Stake where I usually play.Here is the photo for you guys,it is not x1700 this time but even x422 is still a great multiplier.

A possible comeback in Formula 1.
Vettel can race at the start of the season with Aston Martin.

Stroll has his hand broken and it is not sure he will race, it is improbable.

In his place, it will race their 3rd driver or Vettel.

Vettel never seemed like the kind of guy who will take his word back and join the Formula 1 again. He is a racer at heart, but when I saw his goodbye message I thought that this is surely final. Alonso can't get enough and people thought he might stop driving years ago. Perhaps he is still driving when he is 45.

As long as Alonso feels confident and has reflexes he can race.We all saw in the last season that he did some pretty nice races despite him racing in a middle to low performance team like Alpine and in certain tracks where driving skills prevail he surely put himself in the spotlight and the fact that he manages to easy beat and overtake young drivers says a lot about his personality.

I never liked him in the Ferrari or Renault era but I changed my mind when he joined McLaren and made those funny statements like "GP 2 engine,GP2 engine" as I thought this guy must be crazy talking against his team like that but in the end he was right,since then I have only respect for him as a driver.
4454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 28, 2023, 10:07:56 PM
It looks like there is not much time left for seeing Gabriel Jesus in the lineup again. Because his condition for the match against Everton looks like questionable now. Maybe we wouldn't see him in the starting eleven but he might enter in the second half. I assume Arteta would start with Nketiah in his place again. Depending on his performance Jesus' time to enter would be determined. I will be expecting a very effective attacking effort from Arsenal in this match.

I know how they lost to Everton in their previous head-to-head. It was due to Arsenal's defensive mistakes and being incapable of finishing. I will be much bigger effort this time as they must have learned their lesson.
The match against Everton this time was not as tough as before, so Arsenal fans shouldn't have to worry that much.

The match at Everton for Everton wins, and vice versa it is expected that Arsenal win the match at home this time. I have no hesitation in saying it because Arsenal will not make the same mistake and allow Manchester City to have a second chance to lead the table. But of course it's good if Arsenal lose, right?

The team and Arteta are in a great position this time, and they know that if they lose any points, other teams like Manchester City will be able to take their place and even Manchester United will be able to make themselves competitive with them. That is why I believe Arteta will play wisely and they will win this match at Emirates Stadium if he plays wisely.

Everton is not a big threat against them despite Arsenal making the biggest surprise of this season by losing at Everton home while Everton is not in any great shape honestly,they had a season so far which is not the best for them and I doubt they have the power to stop Arsenal tomorrow which has all the motivation of the world to win this game and the possibilities too.Let's not forget though that Manchester City has failed several times when they had the chance to catch Arsenal for example by drawing with Nottingham Forest and as such anything can happen even in this game.
4455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 28, 2023, 09:45:57 PM
It has been so dramatic in the match between Juventus and Torino, Juventus is the host team in this game and the previous record between both teams favours Juventus more but the ongoing match now seem to be a bit difficult for Juventus because of the stubborn away side, it is 66 minutes in the match already and is 2:2 Juventus has to work hard in this game to get the 3 point.
The match featured a really interesting first half seeing a mouth watering four goals which I never expected to have ever been the outcome but so far juventus has been really disappointing as the away team has poured pressure on by possessing the ball more but as football is really not based on possessing the ball more, juventus has utilized their opportunity and changed the score to 3-2 in favor of them. Torino are a really stubborn team and juventus will be very lucky if they can secure a victory in this game because the possibility of Torino scoring a third goal in this game is very big.

Juventus played well in the last 3 matches they continued to hunt for wins I think they are targeting Europa League or Champions League tickets
At least they need 5-10 points to get it this means they will not miss the remaining 14 matches yeah it's around 3-4 more wins
Honestly, at first I didn't think that Juventus targeted anything after getting a 15-point reduction but in fact they rose and catch up.

Juventus would have been second place if they did not have that penalty of -15 points and they won the derby tonight against Torino with a lot of goals,a game which usually does not end up with so many goals most of the time as I follow Serie A closely.

The news though tonight is not Juventus winning as that was expected,the headline is Roma losing against last place in the standings,in fact with that win they are now penultimate place and not last anymore,so much for Mourinho and his team who claimed they are in the fight for the top four.

Both of you are correct, but I must say that you misunderstood my comment on Havertz; I didn't mean to imply that he's not good enough to play for Chelsea; I simply stated that he's been playing as a lone striker since the beginning of the season, whereas his best position is the No.10 attacking role behind a striker. Overall, Kai is a fantastic player and one of my personal favorites at Chelsea.

Potter is not bringing out the best in him; he was a beast under Tuchel..

Yup, that part is true - his best position is for sure as a no. 10.
The problem they are facing is that Felix is actually playing quite well and he plays primarily as a 10, and Havertz is better than Felix in a more central striker role.

The problem that Potter is facing is that 2 players that are in best form are playing in the same position - but that is something he needs to address as well.

I agree with you - this simply isn't working well enough for them.

I think the coach is not managing to put into the squad his mindset and finding the perfect balance and play with the players he have at his disposal.He should probably try many new things as most likely he will be out of the Champions League soon and how things look at the Premier League with his assurance that he will not be sacked this season he can be creative and try different team composing as to see which one works best for him,he has such option from now on I think.

For tomorrow Arsenal looks like it has an easy game and if they win which most likely they should,they will consolidate their lead further for this season.

In fact, a gambler cannot determine and ensure that he really can have a multiplier opportunity like that found in slot games.
However, with the strategy used by gamblers, it can at least increase the possibility of generating multiplication with quite a lot of multiples and we get it successfully.
But all of that is only the second factor because as you said that there is still the luck factor that is expected and in every game or bet you can really win because of the main factor, namely luck.


You can quit with decent winning when luck permits, though what you said is true, there's also strategy aside from luck, things that you already familiarize yourself from your past sessions, strategy that being developed coming from your experienced that adds up to how you base your bets.

Both sports and casino base game there's strategy that each gambler used to find some edge when executing what they've thing that will bring the win that they are aiming.
For me luck is the ultimate and I see it as a sole reason why many persons keep having consistent winning over the time. If we have a good strategy and we don't have a luck, we might be missing opportunities that would make us winning or something might keep making us not to bet on games we have predicted or we got from a good source. I can't count how many games I have missed that was given to me to bet on but I could not bet on them because I was somehow afraid to bet on those games, rather I amended the games and I became the loser because I could not bet on them with my clear eyes.

I agree.If you have not luck by your side you can apply any strategy that you may think it will work for you but when lady luck decides to not knock on your door you are doomed to fail.I have been experiencing this a lot in slot machines where I so call a "strategy" the fact that I double my minimum bet when I reach over 400 spins without getting the bonus round because I think there will be more chances to hit it after such number of spins.Even when this so called strategy works and I get the bonus round with a better bet than the one I played over 400 spins the game to give me empty free spins,free spins without substantial winning and it means that if luck is not by your side you cannot really win in gambling.
4458  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is Neither Good or Bad on: February 28, 2023, 08:40:40 PM
It is bad because in human nature we have difficulty to control our emotions when something bad is happening like losing in a game play session and we want to revert it back,the loss,so the majority of us keep playing and chasing the lost amount of money with the hope that they will get it back.It is exactly this greediness trap that is hidden deep inside our nature that the majority of people say gambling is bad and it actually is for the majority who cannot control their behavior and emotions.It can be beneficial only to those who play an x amount of money a week and call it a day whatever the outcome,either they win or either they lose.

So based on this it is 85% bad and 15% good.

3 days at the start.

Small update about the weather, no rain on the radar.

It should be a 100% sunny weekend.

I don't think we should worry for rain in races like this one in the middle of the desert,usually we have not seen a rainy race in such places but maybe I have forgotten about one such race that we had in the past.In here it is a night race I am assuming like has always been and that enough is a great key factor in usually making a Safety Car coming in from what we have seen at the past races here.

I also can't wait for it to start,in this race we will see the true colors (power) of all the teams,I am sure they have not given their 100% performance in the testing.

After being eliminated in the Europa League competition, Barcelona must concentrate fully on realizing other targets that may still be achieved this season. Failure in the Europa League was the most valuable lesson for Barcelona, even though Barcelona is in a good position in La Liga, they must not make the same mistakes that threaten their position. The Copa Del Rey trophy is still considered important for Real Madrid, especially now that Madrid is seven points behind Barcelona in the La Liga standings. Ancelotti will try to provide an interesting resistance for Barcelona.

The most important lesson for Barcelona was the games with Inter when they were knocked out of the Champions League, the loss to Manchester United is a repeat although they played better, but the result is the same. Maybe it affected them somehow, because that was followed by the loss in La Liga. For Xavi now the most important thing is to maintain good results in La Liga, relegation from European competitions is certainly bad, it happens but now they need to win La Liga.

They missed a golden chance against Almeria and the funny thing like I think beside me many other persons pointed out is that Almeria was the second worse defense of La Liga conceding less goals only compared to last place Elche and this is really strange that Barcelona was not able to score against them while Barcelona had scored in 21 consecutive games before such game.

They are still 7 points away from Real Madrid and I think 7 points is still a big gap for Real Madrid which is also competing in the Champions so most likely Barcelona will be able to win La Liga this year.
