Beautiful game yesterday and I think this was the best result that could have happened because both teams showed a great performance with me being impressed by Manchester United form and also surprised by the fact that the team with the best recent form in all Europe was not able to win in their home field in front of their home crowd.

Still though anything is open for the qualification as now goals that you score away has no more value so even if it ends 0-0 in Old Trafford we will go to additional time and maybe penalties but I still think that Barcelona will qualify further from this duel.

Just look at the type of Sport that they are sponsoring.... Soccer / Motor racing in F1 / Mixed martial arts ..... to get an idea what market are the most profitable to them.  Wink

Of course motorsport is one of the best for the casino because it is very difficult to predict and a lot of "force majeure" that can happen,for example in F1 a Safety Car can completely change the outcome of a race as in MotoGP a crash can make the favorite go away from the race in an instant,so from this point of view it truly is more profitable than sport betting but of course sport betting people play a lot more than F1.

They are great as Stake gave me a reload I think for January and I still have 2 days left to claim,a 2 USD bonus every 24 hours for 5 times and I am not even VIP yet,I miss 8% to become bronze so I am really loving it as these are daily free bets for me.

The lottery is real gamble on freebitcoin. I have literally disabled it after couple of years tries since it’s not my thing anyways. So many rounds in two years and in between I have also tried to wager more than enough to get 50-60k lottery tickets. When I entered the freebitcoin it was actually my thing, I kept myself motivated a lot and tried to get as much lottery tickets as I could. Anyways, I have disabled it due to no luck or it’s just my type of gambling anymore.

This is why I have diverted my focus on accumulating more RP and Sats by free roll plus multiply wager. I never miss 4x promotions and will try to multiply more between those hours. That is something relaxes me.

I’m getting very close to 200k RP’s and wish to continue my quest of reaching 1000k RP. If conditions are favourable by that time then I might just convert them to Satoshi. However, it is still my imagination. It’s gonna take years to achieve that level and convert.

In fact there should be option to remove Lottery wins from WOF and instead gain more RP and Sats.  Tongue

I know that’s not possible since it will imbalance the whole WOF and freebitcoin revenue. For now lottery not my thing. Just seeing how people are lucky to win even with 40-50 tickets.

I changed pretty quickly to receiving more RP instead of lottery tickets for every free roll as the RP are a lot more interesting. It would be great if you could only win RP or satoshis as the WOF (or exchange the lottery tickets for RP) but they never do that as it will not be affordable anymore for them. Personally I like lotteries and the result of last week also shows that with a minimum amount on tickets you can already win!

The randomness is key here,out of 50.000.000 users and someone with just 41 tickets goes and win the big prize,I can't tell you that I am not jealous of such winnings,oh boy I am  Grin as there has been several years now I am always having over 2000 tickets as a minimum and I never see my ID there,at first I got sad and bored but then I understand that everything is based on luck and me with luck,well we have a platonic love so far it seems.

-snip

My bet is on both to score but I feel like I should have gone for draw. Much bigger odds and we could see a bit more reserved performance tonight. Can't wait for the game to start, watching this one rather than Champions League and that is saying something.

in the end, it was BTTS and City win
didn't watch the match, but from I can read, as expected Arsenal was afraid to play and win this, and that is not the way how to win titles, but after this it could be said that Arsenal chances to win title diminishes, they are simply not up to the task, you need more stable performance, and winning strikes for that, can't see them doing that

Arsenal was on a winning row and the only way they were being backed up at the top as favorites was them winning games in the beginning of the Premier League while their adversaries were losing or drawing games,this made them to lead at a certain point with over 9 points in difference and they are now with equal points to Manchester City with just one game less.The mentality shown in yesterday game from them was miserable and that is not a team that could be a title winner in the end,I really hoped Arsenal could do this but most likely in the end it will be City a renowned Premier League Champion.

Isn't XRP the currency invented by banks and if I remember correctly it kinda is which is a big no for me to invest in this type of currency.Even if they win their legal case do not expect them to give you substantial profit if you invest in them,many people thought it was going to the moon when this if I again remember correctly at 2.99 dollars for a coin in the last bull run but soon after it have failed and it has not given us any sign of recovery and even if it does give us such sign it still is the banks currency which is enough of an argument for me a crypto lover to stay away from this.

But yesterday this did not happen. We were rewarded nice profit from the last 24 hours from top alt coins like Ethereum, BNB, XRP, ADA, Doge, and Matic. Maybe we will see Bitcoin for 25k today and alt will continue to moon.
Breaking that level might unlock a good and potential market movement. Since bitcoin able to break 24k before, and now his here again at this level. Now if we can aggresively go to that range maybe a 30kish is bullish position. But it will take time as a lot of funds needed. Plus we should see some gaps level below this current position to be filled in first prior to moving on those levels.

Things are encouraging compared to the start of 2022,we are seeing a better start to the year from Bitcoin and every other crypto is impacted by Bitcoin price,from the ones who can be like a bomb money making machine about to blow I think is SHIBA INU,if they go from 0.00001362 to for example 0.00005555 this change is enough to make some new millionaires out of the blue,meaning the people who have millions and millions of this token will have about x4 more money in their wallets.

I don't see why we should have bad feelings about this year,it is going well up until now but to reach 30.000 dollars for a Bitcoin it needs mining to start be profitable again.

I believe Manchester United gonna win tonight, they will beat Barcelona by 2goals , Barcelona will manage to score a goal but will suffer defeat. And if Manchester United passes this tough opponent tonight then the title is for Ten Tag men. Instead of Barcelona to win this game, Ten Tag should draw then win at old Trafford.
Manchester United and Barcelona have a slightly tougher game today in the Europa League, and I don't think either team will win easily for either of them today. Because they are not a weak team this season and what is unique is that they met earlier in the play-off round in the Europa League. And this will actually be even more interesting to watch for everyone because their match will probably be very exciting today.

Of course it is going to be exciting.It is a game worthy of being played as a final not of Europa League but even as a final of the Champions League.The teams form though is much different with Barcelona dominating and winning against any opponent they throw at them and Manchester United lately being not consistent in their form having draws and near missing a lost game against a much weaker team in the Premier League.

The game is being played in Barcelona home and I would personally take advantage of a 1.75 odd which we rarely see for Barcelona when they are playing in Camp Nou.
4608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth staking stablecoins? on: February 16, 2023, 11:14:49 AM
I don’t think it is one of the best investments to stake stablecoins in this moment as almost everybody else does this and this has made the applied yearly interest to come down to little compared to other altcoins.I personally stake Zilliqa through Atomic Wallet and I am happy with the rewards of 15% applied yearly interest.

The good thing about this is that you can add to your balance as you see fit and they accept new coins over the original amount but I guess this should be the norm even elsewhere you stake stablecoins.

Gosh, stop it with the whole AI thing right here right now. I don’t know where the world is going with this but it is going to create lazy quota around the world. It was time when everything was being discussed face to face, man to man and now it’s all about the computers and their language and their actions. Really? Are we going to be that much lazy now that we want a machine to trade for us or do something for us?

At the end of the day when we will sue our brains or on what we are going to use it? Are we loosing the hopes from bright minds or creating one out ourselves with the time? Oh wait I think we should ask this to ChatGPT!

I would love a machine to trade for us but I am also against AI in any of their form,they will make sure to cause some natural disasters if we give them to much power as AI-Artificial intelligence is just that,artificial and in situations where things are complex and they require the experience and the skill of human beings if we let AI make decisions I am pretty sure that this can end badly in for example factories which deal with automation and things like that.Beside that ChatGPT is in infancy stages and would make anyone using it to trade to lose money so this is a no no and you are right about it.

Any luck with today results guys?
I predicted winners correctly today but I didn't have any exact score in this round.
It was easy win for Benfica and they are probably going in next round, but I am not sure about Dortmund and Chelsea.
Chelsea had more chances but one goal is not enough to be secure in next match at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea should have won by 3 goals if they had been more clinical in front of goal, they created the most chances to score but ended up messing up, it's not over yet, we'll see what happens in the second leg.

I'm still baffled as to why Potter left the only natural striker (Aubu) out of the CL squad, leaving the entire team to rely on Kai Havetz, who isn't strong enough to hold up against a defender. Overall, it was a fantastic game for both teams, and Dortmund deserved to win for their outstanding performance..

I dropped 3 places ! Not a good week for.me.

I don't think that would have been the case but anyway if you think that they should have won by 3 goals then there is no problems whatsoever as in the return leg they would be playing at home and based on what you say they should crush Dortmund.

I don't think this will be the case although I always love when a team from the Premier League qualifies compared to Bundesliga team because Dortmund is in super great form recently and they playing really good,beautiful and entertaining soccer.
4611  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2022/23 Season on: February 16, 2023, 08:24:57 AM
Benfica has taken a very big step with this 0-2 victory at Bruges. Clearly the game with the weakest teams in this tournament. A great result for Benfica. There is still everything to play for at Chelsea - Dortmund, as a 1-0 win by Dortmund is absolutely no guarantee of progressing to the next round. Bayern Munich also seems to be doing very good business, but we must not forget that Mbappe was not in top shape and he will be in 2 weeks when the teams have to play against each other again. Bayern Munich also has no guarantee yet, a player like Mbappe can easily make the difference.
Chelsea was playing so garbage against dortmund. Attacking line always becomes the main problem. I saw that if chelsea was not able using some golden chances. The goal that was already made by dortmund won't be happened once enzo was doing nice tacking to take the ball from dortmund's player. The result from the last match of chelsea against dortmund is very disappointed. Chelsea was even making zero goal again. So many times the golden opportunities were just missing by chelsea.
Todd shall sack potter as soon as possible.
Technically, Chelsea had a good match at Signal Iduna Park in the first leg of the 1/8 Champions League round, but luck did not laugh at them, they played quite well, Chelsea deserved a goal.
I think Chelsea lacks a sharp goalscorer, this second leg Felix and Havertz need to be sharper, which will help the team turn the game around at Stamford Bridge.
There's no way Chelsea are getting back to scoring goals without a proper striker playing up front.
Kai Havertz is just too poor in that role. I admit they were unlucky at some points in the game but they haven't really improved as a team. It's a shame Enzo Fernandez couldn't match Adeyemi's pace for the goal. All he had to do was not lose his man but then he was outclassed there. It will be a difficult job coming back from this loss to advance and they have their job cut out for them. In general, game well played, everyone played well. From Hakim to Kepa all showed quality. They deserved a win but this is football and sometimes luck is required.

I knew Dortmund would win this game as their recent form in Bundesliga and especially their game play is much but much better than Chelsea,Chelsea is in big problems both in Premier League and the Champions League and the return leg would be a critical game for them,it can be the season savior if they manage to win that game and qualify further in the Champions League as this would be a sure thing that at least fans would be somewhat happy after such difficult times,this though require a lot of effort,skill and above all a ton and I mean a ton of luck.
4612  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sports betting fraud in Brazil 😦 on: February 16, 2023, 07:48:58 AM
It is estimated that the bettors would have profited approximately R$ 2 million (~US$ 383,130.00). Shocked

The fraud involved bribes for players, and among the main actions, it was necessary for the player to commit penalties in the first half of the games that were played. Each player received R$ 150,000 per bet for this act (~U$ 28,734.00).

In fact, this makes it much easier to earn money from sports betting.

Unfortunately these are situations that occur in several countries, but the amount of money involved always calls our attention.
In these cases, bets were placed on the competitions that we call "Series B", which is the second largest football championship in Brazil, in which the best classifieds guarantee a place for the main championship in the following year.

The Series B are a good league in Brazil also after the Serie A the main league and I find it surprising that some players were bribed to commit penalties for just 29.000 dollars,I am assuming the pay of the players in this Serie B is not that good if the players agreed to fix things.I have always known that game fixing exists but not in such a big manner in the bigger leagues,for example what I thought to be a league that fixing game would be easy is 7th or 8th division in Denmark and Norway,they have a lot of such divisions and the players there are amateurs.

I think FIFA should start an investigation and make the teams and players who have done this responsible by giving them big penalties like moving the team to the lowest division with 10 years staying there no matter if they win that league.
4613  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 16, 2023, 07:22:11 AM
Manchester city victory is not a surprised to me, because I knew Arsenal will not stop them in this match not to take over the first position in the premier league table. I think, this a sign that Manchester city coach has introduced some skills on his players to be in a solid ground to make it happen again by winning the premier league title this season which they are in that direction. Manchester city were able to achieved the first goal at 24th minutes to prepare the mind of their fans that victory will definitely come to them, which they made it happened at 82th minutes with the help of their potential striker Haaland who scored the third goal.
Of course the Manchester City coach has a special strategy to beat Arsenal, after all before Manchester City could get rid of Arsenal in the FA Cup with a thin score, there I saw Arsenal not really being able to beat Manchester City, I would also not be surprised if Manchester could beat Arsenal, after all they deserved at the top of the standings than Arsenal  Wink

The last games have seen Arsenal going from bad to worse regarding their results and this lost game will have a huge psychological impact in their players and as such it is critical that Arsenal starts to get their form back again starting directly from their weekend game,if they can win it and the game that they have less then there is no reason for them to worry,the psychological pressure will be on Manchester City side this time.

Manchester City came to this game clear in their intentions and played open football knowing that it was life and death game for them and they managed to win it,now the Premier League is super open.

If we can hold our self-control in gambling then I don't think we need to quit gambling. But op's suggestion will can be a good effective source for those people's who were in badly loose their self control and addicted in gambling.
Although I also do some sports betting for my own entertainment, and I also see many people around me who are badly addicted to gambling that it's becomes a burden on them and their families. And in that case they would need something like that to get rid of it. I am gonna share your suggestion among them.

This advice is for people that know that they are having a bad time,are becoming addicted but are not at the level of addiction that nothing looks good to the gambler except gambling and that level is only curable in a rehab center.I think what OP is trying to help here is for some of us who sometime exaggerate and don't think cold headed but just times and we don't degrade to the worse level of addiction.For people at such level that sometime need a good advice like that to do some self assessment tests and check out what is wrong I think this from OP is the perfect resource.
4615  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Choosing between your relationship and gambling. on: February 15, 2023, 10:23:30 PM
There's currently a heated issue between an older cousin of mine and his fiancee, it's a gambling related issue that's now looking like a threat to their relationship. Here's what happened;

My cousin as I know has been an active gambler for as long as I could remember and he's one person that gamble responsibly as he takes it as something that's part of a side hustling and nothing more and he added that the winning streaks he has been getting has really been supportive to him financially too. I get to know this cause that's what he told me when I asked him why does he have to engage in online gambling when he has a good paying job. The disturbing issue here is that a day ago his fiancee whom both have been dating for about a year now, she for the first time had access into his mail and discovered lots of email messages both previous and current from the particular gambling sites he has a gambling account with and her awareness of this has made her to ask my cousin to either chose between quiting from engaging in any form of gambling or ending their relationship.
Her reasons is because she has this brother that's into gambling and his gambling habit has led to him selling off important properties of his and some that belongs to the whole family just to meet up with his uncontrollable gambling urge. And this experience scares her to death having anything to do with anyone she notice that engages in gambles activities especially for someone she's in a serious relationship with, that she can't deal with such reality.

I'll really appreciate to have you share some advise on what decision to take if you were to find yourself in this my cousin shoe. For It's been a difficult moment for him this past two days as he has  been thinking of the financial support he at times get from the gambling wins and at same time his fiancee too.

I have said always that I keep a balance to play weekly and I was doing OK from quite so many weeks and months that I don't remember and I have always told my wife how much money I was willing to gamble so she knows now that I gamble "some money" and she is not contrary to this although she keeps telling me that no smart person have ever won anything from gambling.Tonight I was obsessed with a game I don't like that much the provider of it but lately has caught me and kept buying the bonus round and lost almost half the salary,I talked immediately to my wife and she smiled saying,didn't I say it to you that smart people never win anything and advised me to stick to my bankroll.I think I have the perfect wife honestly  Grin.

So your cousin and his fiance should talk to each other and try to settle things,only dialogue has solved world problems,even much worse than gambling sometimes,there is no other way.

Arsenal lost this one with individual errors, Tomiyasu gifted the first goal and Gabriel gifted second one. You can't play like that against top teams. Than Nketiah topped it off with two big missed headers. Could have been so much better for gunners.

City on top of the table, but Arsenal with one game less. Can't get closer than this.

Arsenal maybe with one game less but the problem is that they lost the direct match and is a sure thing for them to be in a big psychological pressure which I doubt they can keep it and eventually they will be making more errors than Manchester City.Manchester City made the errors in the beginning of season and lately have been on a great form while Arsenal recently is going from bad to worse not being able to win in 3 of their 4 last games and that is a big red flag for me that they have lost their form.

In theory though if they win that game that they have less than City it could be a moral boost to them and impact them positively for the continuation of such challenge.
4617  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Chasing losses - Double down bet or Bet twice? on: February 15, 2023, 08:27:45 PM
I always have a dilemma when it comes to chasing losses in gambling. When I’m in the good mood, I preferred betting using the same amount multiple times until I hit a winning streak to recover my lose but when I’m in bad mood, I usually increase my bet size equals to my total lose so that I can recover quickly.

What do you typically do when you are on chasing loss situation?

Whenever someone tries to chase his losses it ends up pretty badly for him most of the time which translates to losing all of his balance.I consider each session independent of each other and I have set a bankroll that I play weekly and stick to it,whenever I win I withdraw and call it a day and when I lose I don't go depositing soon after trying to recover my lost amount as this to me personally has impacted and made possible to lose the money that I deposited trying to recover my losses.This has been the case for many others also and that is why it is never a good idea to deposit money to chase your losses.
4618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: February 15, 2023, 06:07:31 PM
Bad news for the Gunners as Thomas Partey is expected to miss this crucial tie against Manchester city tonight due to a muscular injury. It’s been instrumental to their game this season and Arsenal have only lost a game he’s played in this season. I expect Jorginho to produce some good play tonight. I wish Jorginho would play well and take his place in Arsenal starting squad regularly and don't need to suffer from Partey’s injury scare anymore. Besides any team that is overly dependent on a player to the extent of not being able to navigate a match without him is not ready for the title.

I think Arsenal are a team that doesn't have a dependence on just one player, so even if one of the key players is injured I'm sure Arteta will be able to overcome or cover it with another player. After all, even though for example all of Arsenal's key players can play in this match against Manchester City, I personally still believe Manchester City will still have a chance to win.
So yes, in my personal prediction basically Arsenal will only play defensively more often and will only rely on counterattacks to attack.
That has been my fear for Arsenal. All other positions have replacements except Thomas and Saka wing . I have been saying that whenever any of these players are injured, things will not go well with the club.
Recently, Jorginho has been bought as a standby for Thomas. Let us see what he can do, I doubt he has blended with the team.

It is the decisive game tonight but I think that most likely we will see a draw with just one goal for each side.The focus of tonight will be more on Champions League games and usually when it is like this and there is also a big Premier League game being played,historically there have been a lot of goals and I expect the same tonight.

A win for Arsenal would mean the world to them as they most probably will be Champions of the Premier League but a lost game for them means a lot of psychological pressure which can translate in them losing the title in the end of the season.

OK so Bayern won, as I expected, just perhaps not with the scoreline I thought. And deserved too, on evidence of possession, corners, attempts, it was just the team who tried more that was rewarded. PSG will fancy their chances on the return leg, though, with most of their key stars expected to play fully fit unlike tonight.

Milan Spurs was really a lottery draw as far as I'm concerned, as stats show it was more even than the scorelines displayed. I thought Spurs would bounce back from their horrible outing to Leicester, especially with Milan indifference in Serie A... how wrong.

Didn't watch any of it though. Dinner was not an option...

While for Paris is way over and if we don't bet on Bayern to qualify a lot of money despite the low odd but I don't believe it will be that low then we are deeply stupid  Grin.The game was dominated by Bayern Munchen and they could have even scored more goals but it was all thanks to the Paris goalkeeper that the score stayed at just 0-1 for Bayern,still good enough to make them much closer than Paris to further qualification.

For Tottenham though I think that they have all the chances of the world to settle it definitely in the return leg as Milan did not shine in today game and Tottenham most likely just wanted to at least get away without conceding more goals,so this one is wide open and for me Tottenham is more favorable to qualification.

PSG being in a very bad position right now,losing at home against Bayern Munchen,this makes me think that their recent form in the Cup in France and in the Ligue 1 that kept losing games is not that random and that the game of today is just a continuation of this.I doubt based on the statistics which show a total domination of Bayern Munchen that Paris has that many chances left,all the money spent for Messi and Neymar and they are not being able to produce a good game at such levels against big teams of Europe like Bayern Munchen.I don't know the odd but whatever it is I am going to bet a lot of money on Bayern qualification even if we have the rare case that Bayern does not win tonight.
