481  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Buy a Bonus VS playing Slot on normal Spin - which do you prefer? on: May 02, 2024, 03:29:25 PM
I will first of all say that you won big with just $2 and you won $54, that should have made your day great assuming that you quit the game. But I can understand that greed will not make us know when to stop playing because we are not satisfied with our wins, and will want more wins, which will finally end to losing all our bankroll. Why is it just too hard to let go of our bet when winning or losing, even though we claim to be a responsible gambler.

So, I am here to ask, buying a bonus and playing on normal spins in slot game, which so far, has been more profitable for or to you?
Buying bonus or playing normal spin is the same, because when it is not your lucky game, you will lose the game, but if it is your lucky game, you will win it. Just like what happened to OP, he was lucky to win 54 bucks with 10 free spin, and assuming he bought the 20 free spin, he will still lose, just as he lost.

talking about the other semi final
I'm really looking forward to today's PSG match
Is it worth taking a chance on PSG winning or am I risking too much?

If you want to follow bookies predictions then it is PSG that is expected to win.
For me it is a draw > PSG > Borussia Dortmund with a small narrow and a high risk between the draw and PSG victory. If Borussia Dortmund would win the game then it will be a surprise for me since they were able to reach that point thanks to the relatively weaker opponents they faced comparing to the other teams that are playing semifinals.

And once again I lost the bet, I'm not having much luck in the UCL semi-finals
Borussia got a great result
PSG didn't play badly, a couple of shots against the post prevented PSG from drawing, but the result of the match wasn't so bad for PSG, who are also fully capable of winning in Paris, even by two goals

The 2 matches so far have left me very excited, I hope to see great emotions next week as well, and I'll try to win the bets this time and get my money back hehehe

Can you imagine the final PSG x Bayern again?  Shocked Shocked Shocked
The host of the second leg matches needs to secure a win if they want to qualify to the finals. PDG is capable of winning in Paris, but I just hope that we don't get disappointed in them next week. Dortmund played impressively yesterday and that was a good result achieved by the host team.

Bayern Munich needs to try hard in Spain to avoid them being eliminated from going to the finals. However, Real Madrid is a team that you cannot go to their home and win them in a semifinals match like this, because it is impossible for that to happen in Spain. This will make both second leg matches something on cannot predict correctly.

What is happening currently is just like what happened when the news that bitcoin ETF would be approved by January 10th,and before then a lot of people invested in bitcoin thinking that immediately the ETF is approved bitcoin price will skyrocket. Maybe that guy is in a rush to take profit thinking bitcoin works like ponzi scheme.

It didn't happened like that, but instead the price of bitcoin dipped for some days before it started pumping. So most people that are panicking because of the recent dip, thinks that immediately after the halving, the price of bitcoin will pump, which is where they got it wrong. The halving only triggers the bull run, so no need to worry because the bull run is on its way. Relax and hodli, if you ha e extra funds enjoy buying at the dip.

Since I know that the casino will ask for KYC verification if I win big, I would prefer to gamble without providing it until I win big or whenever they ask me for KYC. There is no need to me to rush in doing the KYC thing when I know that it does not deprive me from gambl9amd withdrawing my small wins.

Everything is getting centralized by the government and for casinos to be regulated by the government, they must need the KYC of their users which makes it impossible for one to enjoy the world of gamble without KYC. I can give you my data when I win big at least it is worth risking.

Dortmund played perfectly, they could have scored more goals. But on the other hand, PSG could have scored too, they were unlucky with two balls that hit the post in quick succession.
Seriously the two clubs performed well in the match, but I never expected Dortmund to win the match, I placed bet on PSG to win the match, but Dortmund performance was just so nice which gave them a win in the match. let’s see how the second leg of the match is going to be, but Dortmund have to be careful, the second leg won’t really be a easy one, PSG will want to do everything possible just to win the second leg of the match, but since Dortmund can surprise us in the first leg, let’s hope they will be able to surprise us in the second leg of the match.
Dortmund played better in the first half, and the first 30 mins was dominanted by them, and they were able to use that as an advantage to score when they had the chance. The second half was more in the favor of PSG, but they were not lucky enough to score just one goal, as Mbappe ball was a bar ball. It was a wonderful game but with just one goal, unlike yesterday game that we had 4 goals.

PSG will not take it slightly in the second leg, and Dortmund needs to be aware of that because that is PSG only hope of winning so that they can qualify to the finals. Let it not be a shock to us, if it happens that PSG did not qualify to the finals. This is why the zeal and passion of qualifying to the fins must be a key factor in their performance in order for them to achieve it.
486  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 01, 2024, 08:02:38 PM
my estimation, there are several options that we can choose as betting options. we can use the handicap option with odds 0:0 for PSG. or, the 1x2 option if many people believe PSG will win this match. So, let's wait and see, the match will be held in a few moments.


Borrusia Dortmund surprising everyone with leading the game 1-0 against Paris Saint-Germain. Edin Terzic and his team was prepared enough to handled such tremendous performance of thr visitors and this is really an important game for both teams. I've settled for positive facts about football, we should not underestimate any opponents because the best team comes with promising players and having good composure to win matches.
Paris Saint-Germain
Honestly, I love the game composure of Dortmund and how confidently they keep on attacking and pressuring PSG defense. A sharp goal from Füllkrug, after he received a through pass from N.Schlotterbeck. The home side took advantage of the first half and was able to secure a goal to prove to their visitors that they are the host.

On the other hand, PSG did not really played as expected, because they were unable to get any shot on target that did not tell good about their performance. Dortmund was able to get 4 shots on target which one was a goal. I hope that PSG will be able to come up with a better performance than this in the second half, if not they might go home defeated.
487  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 01, 2024, 04:48:39 PM
Real Madrid did not play too well in this match and their coach Ancelotti frankly talked about it in a press conference after the match. The key point in this match is Kim Min Jae and Vinicius Jr. The defender made mistakes that lead to a penalty for Real Madrid and Vinicius scored a second goal for Real Madrid.

They are probably more relaxed now, because although mathematically they haven't won the league yet, the distance over Barcelona with only 5 games to go is very comfortable, because they just need not to fuck up to win it. This next match day they could already be proclaimed champions.
i'm confused by the strategy that Ancelotti used when facing Bayern, he put Bellingham as a wing attacker, while when facing Sociedad some time ago, Bellingham was not played.  In fact, i prefer Madrid's performance against Sociedad rather than against Bayern.  This season's UCL seems to be going very hard for Madrid, even though Madrid are the strongest in La Liga. 

Meanwhile in La Liga, Madrid's performance is very impressive, the La Liga title is in sight.
I think it is an advantage not to be defeated on the road. Real Madrid will win in Spain. Even if they cannot win, they can draw and take the match to penalties. Jude Bellingham needs to work extra hard for the rematch. He was very ineffective in this match. Bayern was ahead 2-1 and they could not maintain this advantage.
When playing with different clubs, you can use different strategies based on the club's strength and how in form they are at that moment. Using Bellingham in Real Sociedad match that way, is because he already knows that is where Bellingham can play better, but Ancelloti decided to use him as a winger against Bayern, to test a new potential in him to see if he would become a good winger, but it was clear that Bellingham was unable to perform the role he played as a winger. This is why I don't think that Ancelloti will use him as a winger anymore.

Ancelloti is a high tech coach and he can convert a defender to a striker and vice-versa. You can see how he is using Bellingham, and he is scoring goals, even when he is not a striker. So I believe that there was something new he is trying to see if it will work for him as a new strategy. Personally, I will say that Ancelloti knows what he is doing and should be allowed to try something new.
488  Economy / Speculation / Re: Is Hong Kong Bitcoin ETF Responsible for Recent Bear on: May 01, 2024, 03:55:34 PM
The price correction is a norm when it comes to bitcoin price movement, especially now that the halving event is over. I believe that what happened in 2017, is what we are seeing here, when after the halving, the price of bitcoin dips before it pumps again.

Hong Kong bitcoin ETF approval is not the cause but just nature taking place with the way bitcoin was designed to be volatile. The current dip should be an advantage for us to buy more Bitcoin and stop worrying about what caused the dump, because in bitcoin when there is a pump or dump people relates it to an event that is happening or that just occurred, which is not true in most cases. The dump is to help the price of bitcoin go higher than the highest price which we saw as 73k before the halving.

OP, you only told us about your wins on two days, so I would like to know the results of the other days that you didn't mention, or is these two days your first try, and you haven't tried it again. It might work for you at the first time, does not mean that it is a good strategy that can always give you wins.

You talked about using this strategy in football, when the game is in the second half, have you forgotten that recently, the teams that are always on the lead in the first half, sometimes loses the gmatch in the complete 90 minutes due to substitution of players and the team losing can take advantage of the second half to play better than the did in the second half.

Gambling is a game of luck, and whatever strategy that we implement that works for us, is based on luck and not our strategy of understanding how the game works or coming up with any trick of winning.
490  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: May 01, 2024, 02:38:25 PM
Bayern Munich failed to beat Real Madrid at home.Real Madrid managed to take the lead in the first half with a goal from Vinicius. Bayern Munich started the second half fast and managed to score 2 goals in 12 minutes.Bayern, who took the lead with the goals they found with Sane and Kane, could not keep the score and the situation was equalized again with Vinicius' goal from the penalty.In the match where both sides played a good game, the winner of the round will be determined in Real Madrid's field.
The result is a good one for Real Madrid, and will I say a bad one for Bayern Munich. Perhaps, the winner is still open to both clubs on a level ground, because if Bayern Munich can play without being intimidated in Spain, they can win the game or settle for a penalty shootout.

However, how don't know how possible it will be for Bayern Munich to win away from home, when it is the second leg, the chance of that happening is very slim, because Real Madrid are fierce and desperate when it comes to games like this, and being played at home. From the game play yesterday, both teams will have a tough fight in the second leg.

We are in bitcoin forum and every information on bitcoin and technology is being discussed here. Price speculations and how to go about your bitcoin investment is also being discussed, so I don't see why anyone here in this forum will start making too much research on bitcoin, when he already have the basic knowledge of bitcoin. It is people who thinks that bitcoin is a get rich quick scheme, that will be carried away by FOMO and jump into investing without knowing how bitcoin works.

Anyone that is ready to invest in bitcoin, as long you are active in this forum, it is easy as you can invest in bitcoin and continue learning more about bitcoin, you must not know everything first before you start up your investment because time waits for no one, and it is impossible for you to learn everything on bitcoin in one year, because bitcoin is complex and there are new developments in the network frequently.

What I will say is that make a proper calculation on your income, and use the amount of discretionary income that you have to buy bitcoin, regular either weekly or monthly with DCA method, amd learn at the same time on bitcoin here in the forum. Investment should be a personal decision , and not because others are doing it.

Im gonna wait for thursday games and to see how Rome make a good game against Leverkusen and maybe can make a good noise, and take some win, take care of this, Rome can beat Leverkusen.
I appreciate your optimism regarding As Roma in this match, maybe it could happen if the goddess of luck sides with As Roma in this match, however, in my opinion, in the few times I have seen As Roma play in the Domestic League, it seems that they always have difficulty in several matches that As Roma plays in  Serie A, does not intend to bring down or underestimate the game and compare it with Leverkusen, on the other hand we both know that Leverkusen's strength is very strong, they have not experienced defeat in the Domestic League and the game that Leverkusen played was very beautiful and almost perfect, even though they came as guests at  the first leg is not likely enough that As Roma will be able to overthrow Leverkusen easily, it is very clear that the games played by As Roma and Leverkusen are very different from their visitors, so As Roma will most likely experience a narrow defeat at home or worse, they will experience defeat with a score  big.
Defeating Leverkusen is something that I cannot say anything on, amd I still doubt if it will bepossie that it is Roma, De Rossi sqaud that will be able to break Leverkusen unbeaten record after all this long period of time.

This is why I think that Roma might end up drawing the game of Leverkusen winning the match. I am not underestimating Roma, but I must talk based on facts on ground. Roma current form is not in its best, and that might affect their performance in the match against Leverkusen, while Leverkusen is in their best form.

I quite agree with you Bayern Munich so far have created more opportunities to score than Real Madrid, Kane had a brilliant free kick that almost saw the back of the neck, Bayern defence too have pushed back the Madrid attacking force back too. But one thing Bayern are forgetting is that, while playing a team like Madrid, you have to make use of the slight opportunities you have, Because just looking at the how vini was able to convert that chance to make it 1-0 this first half mean while Bayern have had similar opportunities or even more but yet still struggling to score.
But now Bayern have managed to equalize the score at 1-1. And this will certainly encourage Real Madrid not to play too defensively. Because now Bayern continues to put pressure on Real Madrid's defense. And this could clearly endanger Real Madrid's goal even more. Currently the match has just entered the 57th minute. And if Bayern continues to apply pressure and Real Madrid loses focus then Bayern might be able to score another goal. And as I type this, it turns out that Bayern have scored another goal. And the score became 2-1 because Bayern got a penalty kick. And Kane managed to make good use of it.
Finally, Beyern Munich was able to come from one goal down and take the lead. 2 goals withing 4 minutes is an impressive start for Bayern Munich in the second half. Bayern Munich is now playing with too much confidence and they are creating more chance to score their third goal.

Real Madrid needs to stay focus on the match amd should not be distracted with one goal down. However, I still believe that more goals will come in this match, as the scoring have just begun. A good penalty kick from Kane was able to make the difference currently.

But how good is the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid? I was watching the match on TV and in the first half hour of the game there was a real spectacle. The match was played essentially in the centre of the pitch, but with Bayern Munich very aggressive without finding the way to goal, but in the 24th minute, on Real Madrid's first real shot on goal, Vinicius junior found the winning goal. I think we will witness a great match tonight
Vinicius is a world class player, and he keeps on proving himself through his contributions in his clubs performance. He has broken the deadlock with the only opportunity that Real Madrid had, after Bayern Munich took over the ball possession in the first 20 mins. The goal came in after Kroos saw a beautiful chance of giving Vini a through pass.

The goal came in on the 24th minutes when a wonderful finish from Vinicius as he had a one-on-one with the goalkeeper. Real Madrid is on the lead and I am still expecting more goals from the visitors, because Bayern Munich will not be able to win this game. I said it that Real Madrid is not like Arsenal that lost most of their chances, amd were able to net the post in Allianz Arena.

It's simple, of course no team in any league really wants to see their eternal rivals to be champhionship, as well as Tottenham, of course they don't want to see Arsenal can end the season with a championship trophy because it will be a wound for Tottenham fans later, so in my opinion Tottenham will indeed play all out in the game but to win of course it is difficult for us to see because indeed I am quite sure if Tottenham will let Manchester City won to thwart Arsenal chances of champhioship.
This is like expecting Manchester United to lose to Arsenal so as not to let their neighbors to win their 4th title in a row.

Tottenham are looking to secure a Champions league spot this season, competing against United and most importantly Aston Villa. You honestly do not expect Tottenham will give up a Champions league spot simply because they do not want their rivals to win the league.

My expectation is that City will be too strong for them, City has struggled at this away matches with Tottenham, but at this stage in the season may be just too much. There's also too much focus on that match, Fulham away for City may be a potential banana peel.

- Jay -
Tottenham will only do their worst on that day but it will take them nowhere because Manchester city is unstoppable by them. Pep knows how dangerous Tottenham is and he will come up with a tactics that will outsmart theirs. I don't also see Tottenham having great players than City, which will make it impossible for a defeat or a draw for City.

We all know that it games like this, City will focus on winning the match, because they will not allow the league slip off their hands just like Arsenal Lowes it. They don't mess with games in their favor, City needs this title for consolation of not being able to qualify for the semifinals in UCL.

Inter Milan won the game against Torino while they used two penalty kicks and maybe without these two penalty kicks Inter Milan couldn't beat Torino and won this match. However, as you said can surely say Tonrino is not on the same level as Inter Milan and there are huge differences between these two teams. But Inter Milan already won the Serie A title and there is no need for them to put too much energy into the games in this season anymore and maybe that's why we didn't see full power from Inter Milan. Otherwise, Inter Milan could win the game with a much better result than they won in this match.
Even if you check the possession in this match we can clearly see Inter Milan was just trying to get control and play safe.
There's levels when it comes to the performance of these teams. The elite teams comes first and accumulates good points. Inter Milan are on fire this season, they strive for excellent results and accomplishing their targets was a top priority for them. Inter Milan are Seria A champions and lifting the scudetto was so easy for them. Simeone Inzaghi is an experience coach and have been mapping out the expected measures to withstand the pressure from oppositions.
Despite the fact that Inter have already become the champions of this season scuddeto, they still have the passion and zeal of winning their rest matches, to show how Inzaghi has rebrand the team that they don't care about anything but to win their matches.

I applaud Inzaghi for his wonderful coaching skills and motivation which he has put on the players that makes them to stay so strong for so long since the beginning of the season without losing form. Next season, I hope to see more quality and steadfast performance from Inter.

I didn't understand why the government in the UK didn't put QR codes on the new plastic notes they issued recently. That would allow for a certain amount of tracking, as supermarkets use facial recognition on the tills that accept cash. Pushing it out of the banking system is just going to make  the situation worse for them.
The government in your country is trying to make sure that they can see the transactions of every individual in your country, and that is why they have come up with such decisions. If there is no longer availability of cash, it will make cash a premium product, and whoever has any cash on him might not want to spend it as it will become scarce.

This new development will not help citizens that are buying bitcoin because they are invading their privacy. Payments made with cash are untraceable, which makes them not to have confidence on cash anymore.
498  Economy / Economics / Re: How safe is it to keep your money and gold underground? on: April 30, 2024, 03:10:18 PM
Have any of you ever been aware of this technique before?
Of course yes, this is the best way to save wealth in the olden days, for people don't have access to the bank easily, because they live in remote areas. I have seen when a piece of land was given to a bot by his late father as inheritance. When the boy went to the land to make use of it, during digging, he discovered a sack buried under the ground and when he opened the sack, it was filled with money that his Dad kept for him on the piece of land.


And do you think we can keep our savings and wealth underground by adopting this strategy and considering it the safest?
I don't consider it safest anymore, because, whoever knows that you kept your wealth buried underground will easily have access to it when you are not around. He can spy on you, and know the location or use metal detector to know the location.

And that being said, how safe do you think it is? At this time?
Not safe at this time, especially cash because fiat depreciates and lose value overtime. So it is better to put the funds on bitcoin since it still gives you the same opportunity to be your own bank, and the value increases overtime to keep the value of your funds.

Nice fight, and it was very funny to see how the two guys were rushing the MMA guy in the beginning, but after a while they were both on the ground unable to stand up. From what I understand in this fight the other two guys are not strong and skillful compared to Cesar. When Cesar was been introduced, he was introduced as the modern gladiator in Spain. That shows he is the latest champion, that was what made it easier for the win.

In future, we can see games like this in the casino, because it will be fun, just like I enjoyed this fight. Two weak fighters against a strong fighter, no one will know who will win, which makes it more entertaining and worth betting on.

Assuming you find yourself in a similar situation as this, what will you do? How will you handle the situation to make your parents trust you again?
I will be ashamed of myself and look for a means to pay back the funds to my parents. For me to be able to make up for my mistakes and win their trust back, I must quit gambling for a while, in order for me to be able to overcome my addiction. This is because it is only an addicted gambler that cannot be entrusted with money, because he will end up using it for gamble since he cannot control his gambling activities and would always want to chase his losses all the time.

If I quit gamble and overcome my addiction, I can look for so many ways so show them that I am now responsible and can be trusted upon with funds, but it would be hard for them to believe you, only if it was very easy for you to make the repayment in a short period of time, when his father noticed the money is no longer in his son's account. If it was very hard to pay back or was not paid back, you have lost their trust in you for life.
Yeah, sure truth, it's hard to ever trust a person again when they one way or the other breaks and loses the trust we had in them, and i agree that for this dude, it will be difficult for him to win back his father's trust again.

ut what about that which is said about blood being thicker  than water? Do you think such statement does not apply in this type of situation?
I am not saying that he can not gain his parents trust, he can in other aspect but not in terms of entrusting him with their funds anymore. If you look at my statement above, I also said that it still depends on how fast he was able to give the funds that he used to gamble back to his dad. If it did not take him much time, and he refunded it, it can tell his dad that he used the funds for something else and not to gamble. In this case, his dad can still trust him easily.

However, he needs to stop gambling and have disciplined himself enough, if he must continue gambling in order for him to gamble responsible, otherwise it will be useless for him to pretend in other to gain back his father's trust. This is because if he is still given money to keep in his custody, he will gamble with it, amd if he is not able to refund it back this time, the trust will be lost. Blood is thicker than water is assuming, he was given the money to invest, and the business failed or he lavished it, his dad can give him a second chance, but not on gambling.
