I just googled the return percentage of online casinos and saw different percentages that doesn't seem real. A slot machine can be written to pay out 98%, but its programmed to pay 90% and it's publicized that way to attract more people to play using that slot. Though one slot could be paying out that amount in the casino, yet my point is that no casino offers 100 percent payout that means if a slot pays out 94 percent for every 100 dollar bill spent on that machine the player losses 6$ to the casino. That is if you play longer times you'll lose, and we can almost never stay atop of the slot machines after long period of plays, unless you win a jackpot. Even if you win a huge amount, you can lose. They are numerous stories of people who won the jackpot and ended up spending the whole money back on the casino within a short period, 1 or 2 years, they lost the jackpot.
Isn't it? Inspired by Jean Scott - Frugal Gambler I think that the RTP,the return to player is clearly explained from the slot provider and this most likely is like 95-98% and usually slot providers do not lie otherwise they lose potential customers.Play n Go for example one of the many slot providers out there makes really a lot of slot machines and most of them are programmed at a fixed return to player percentage like usually in 95-97% yet sometime they give in the option to casinos only in specific slots they make to use changeable return to player percentage,for example one slot that is my all time favorite from them named "The Green Knight" has three RTP options from 84.xx% up to 96.xx% and it is up to the casino to program it the way you want but the provider is not "cheating" they make it clear that this game has different RTP options so it is up to the player to read the description in the casino offering the game at what RTP they are operating the slot. RTP to kick in needs truly a lot of spins but on the long run we already know that the house edge which is the advantage from the RTP to the casino house is there to make them profit in the long run and consequently for us gamblers to lose money on the long run,we should play to hit that maximum payline or the jackpot and move on to another slot. |

We cannot be sure of how that user got them but look at their ID,it is with 5 digit and it means it is from the early early days,I am with 6 digits and consider myself of somewhat early user but this one is from the first ones.Based on this I can clearly say that this guy to have lots of referrals as these users are the ones who started to spread the word at that time and as such he got a lot of refs most likely.The refs maybe were gamblers and maybe he is a gambler himself so that is the most likely explanation for getting that huge amount of tickets.
We can easily check this because Freebitcoin periodically posts screenshots of daily jackpot leaderboards in this thread. Just take a look at this post. This whale wagered over 100 BTC in just 1 day last week. Therefore, there is no doubt he collects such a large number of lottery tickets either through betting on events or wagering in the hi/lo game rather than through referrals. That is the same person that we are talking about,most likely he is an avid gambler too as I said but I am also quite confident that he should have tons of referrals also as his id is really low with just 5 digits. That is crazy betting though,100 Btc wagered means that he has gambled like 5-10 Bitcoins which is a lot of money and I don't know why they do that,they sure win the daily jackpot or monthly jackpot but those amounts are ridiculous compared to the money they spend and even thinking to get that Lambo win is something that does not guarantees you will in profit so I have a hard time understand their ideas. |

But from a general point of view, if you want to established good business better to work without any issue with whatever that may rise along the way while managing your business.
Issues will always be there and it's hard to avoid. But when a casino got some issues from their customers, it is a way to become better and to make them offer a better service on which they fell short or lack of based from the issue that has been brought to them. Issues are there for the business to thrive better. And those disadvantages that has been brought up should be resolved but then, these winnings are not based from our locations. The winnings maybe based on the location,I can say this because in the country I live in now I could access a casino I used to play before online up to 2020 or something like that and from that it went on blocked from all the ISP providers of this country so I was forced to use a VPN and used a better country when connecting like UK,France or Germany.The fun fact is that I got x3000 multiplier when I was playing at that casino when I was accessing it from the country I live in and when using the VPN-s with the mentioned countries I never saw the x3000 wins anymore,maybe a coincidence but who knows. |

It looks like the user with id 22123 has outdone himself by collecting over 29 million lottery tickets this time. Honestly, I've always wondered what exactly motivates the users (whales) who wager so much. I doubt such users do it just for fun and hope for their luck. They probably have some special strategy that minimizes losses due to house edge and allows them to profit from both the daily leaderboards and the huge number of lottery tickets and RPs.
It's hard to say how they have acquired all those tickets. It can be through his personal wagers, but it can be also through direct purchases (each lottery ticket costs 1 satoshi) or through referrals' comission (every faucet roll by a referral guarantees 1 lottery ticket to the referrer), or it can be a mix of the 3 methods. I don't doubt some gamblers just purchase lottery tickets directly, instead of risking a lot of money wagering on multiplier or sports/events. We cannot be sure of how that user got them but look at their ID,it is with 5 digit and it means it is from the early early days,I am with 6 digits and consider myself of somewhat early user but this one is from the first ones.Based on this I can clearly say that this guy to have lots of referrals as these users are the ones who started to spread the word at that time and as such he got a lot of refs most likely.The refs maybe were gamblers and maybe he is a gambler himself so that is the most likely explanation for getting that huge amount of tickets. |

Is it safe to say that casino platforms is running their business with users find only? I read somewhere that they pay winners with losers money, I couldn't ask him or her if a casino can start business with zero fund at hand, I know that most of them wired their system to favour them more ( lose more and win less ) , if not they will run out of business fast I belief, what do you think about this? Was I wrong about this? Come to think of this, there is no prove that they have some money to pay winners.
The reputable ones the ones who already know that they are going to be people favorites usually have already a minimum of 1000-10000 Bitcoins in order to pay the whales as no one guarantees them that the house edge will start benefiting them right away,that is not the case,the house edge needs a lot of spins before starts to kick in usually in slot machines between 1-100 million spins in that specific slot. Based on this the big reputable casinos that we see today and are our favorites have started out already "maxed" out to handle even whales which are really big winners,all other casinos who haven't done so you will see most probably some sort of scam accusation for them when someone made a huge win. |

I think that the price of this card is reasonable compared to the other price increases we have seen from the old generation to the new one.However I am not expecting an increase in the hash rate if the 4060 ti since it will still be an 8 GB card,and as such in hash rate a maximum this card can have because of the new technology should be near 70-73 Mhsh on the most optimistic scenario.They have improved at a point though,the power consumption by default here is 160 watt much different from the 3060 ti which it was 220 or 200 watt as a default and when tuned got to 120 watt,maybe this tuned goes to 100 watt making it the most efficient card for mining until now. |

I actually disagree with all of your points. GPU mining is far cheaper than ASIC mining, can be done with alternative energy, can be done via NiceHash so you’re getting BTC and can easily switch to the most profitable coin at the moment, you’re competing with amateur GPU miners instead of ASIC data centers, and GPUs are much easier to scale than ASICs.
I would say the downside is limited to heat and noise for many small miners. Most other drawbacks are addressable.
I agree with you,there is not a better way to start mining then with GPU mining.It was cheaper and now is even cheaper,just go look in Ebay or other marketplaces to see that you can buy miners that used to cost over 4000 dollars for 1500 dollars or less now and they are with 4-6 GPU-s each,from the 2000 or 3000 series from Nvidia which I consider good cards for mining still.Also if you do not have the capacity to pay the energy for the complete rig,simple,run it with 1,2 or any amount of cards that you can pay the electricity bill. The only downside to this is that we are mining at a loss from almost 6 months now,since ETH moved to PoS but I am sure slowly this will change. |

Barcelona still couldn't end the match early. Sociedad played 50 minutes with 10 players only, yet Barcelona couldn't score more than one goal. This is a weak point for a big name like Barcelona. They miss the persistence to kill the match and put themselves in the comfort zone. If Sociedad managed to score a goal, they would play additional 30 minutes, which could influence their performance in La Liga matches. In the old days, selecting over 1.5 was a save bet for every match Barcelona play. This season, it looks like a risky bet Barcelona's failure to score more goals does not mean they are less good in attack. Sometimes things can be more difficult than we say, all the players did very well and they tried with many tries although in the end they only managed to score 1 goal. Barcelona are not weak, you might have to admit that even against Real Sociedad they weren't too lucky with their chances. Looking back, how well Barcelona beat Real Madrid's goal with 3 goals in the super cup final, it is a quality that is highly expected even though in fact not all matches they have been able to do it. I also think Barcelona are not weak,it is that they are now in a very delicate position as they want to conserve their lead and to do so they need to be much more pragmatic than when they are in the position of the follower and runner up to the title. Real Sociedad on the other hand is one of the good teams for this season being near the top of the standings so I did not expect Barcelona to try and win the game with many goals scored despite Real Sociedad being left to play with 10 players early in the game.So far Barcelona got what they wanted and they have the gap of 3 points to their opponents Real Madrid,so nothing of a big deal in this context for Barcelona. |

The weird thing about F1 getting more and more American, is the fact that they managed to get a lot more viewers. This doesn't mean that the quality went up, maybe it did or maybe it didn't but the fact is that there are more viewers than previously since the owner change.
In recent times, more and more American citizens have started to like and are interested in participating in watching or participating in every F1 racing event. What you have said is true, that this will have a positive impact on the world of F1 racing around the world because more and more people will start to enjoy racing. The development of the automotive world will also be more advanced and more sophisticated from time to time so that new discoveries will emerge regarding the specifications of racing cars. I think this upcoming season the Las Vegas race will undoubtedly be the best of the whole season,I have no doubts about this,racing in the capital of gambling at night in a city circuit is something unique,I know we have the Singapore race like this but trust me you cannot compare Singapore with Las Vegas,it is just on another level of lighting and beautifully decorated as a city Las Vegas,racing through those skyscrapers in Vegas is a truly unique experience. I am sure the American people will get more interested and this race I am sure will improve F1 a lot in terms of attracting other exotic places who may become interested to hold a F1 race. |

I also lost for the Bayern vs Koln match! it was surprising because Bayern was held to a draw by Koln, even Koln was able to score a quick goal in 4' minutes. with Neuer injured, Bayern's goal felt very easy to concede, Nagelsmann seems very trivial with Koln. with this draw and also the big win from Leipzig, currently the point difference between Leipzig and Bayern is only 4 points.
today many exciting matches will happen, and my choice for the bet is Dortmund - Leverkusen - Union berlin - Frankfurt. for the Monchengladbach vs Augsburg match, I think I skipped it because the performance of the two teams was still unstable and difficult to predict.
It was really surprising for Bayern Munich to lose to Koln but then again come to think of it if you look at Koln now they are doing quite well in my opinion, and I do realize aswell that this could also be luck for Koln in dealing a draw against Bayern Munich, but I think a draw isn't really a big of a deal, but it Bayern Munich lost to Koln I think that is a big issue, for now, Koln have drawn a game against Bayern Munich but that is a Bayern Munich without Manuel Neuer, Leon Goretzka, and Sadio Mané all because of injuries,
Indeed, it was the two quick goals that made Schalke's hopes disappear in this match and after that they were even more chaotic in defense which made the RB Leipzig players so free to control the game. Maybe from now on there is no hope for Schalke to get away from the relegation zone, even if they want to get away from this terrible zone at least they have to get 3 wins to guarantee a safer place in the standings, but considering that Schalke's next opponent is FC Cologne, I think they will lose again in that match later.
Very fast indeed, Leipzig right now is an incredible team that long rest really is what they need to recuperate, and even without Christopher Nkunku and I thought they can not hold their own without Christopher Nkunku, but it was proven wrong or maybe proven right aswell because Schalke is bellowed the standings and there isn't really a point comparing teams with Schalke, because they are the most basic team in the Bundesliga right now, so winning against Schalke doesn't prove anything, next game for Leipzig Stuttgart is somewhat a little interesting than Schalke but Hoffenheim and Koln is a different story, It was a surprise for everyone that Bayern Munchen lost that game a couple of days ago but on the other side we all made money thanks to your predictions at that day I got over 2.5 goals for almost all the games of that day except Bayern,the only one I lost and every other game came up as over 2.5 goals which was a great day for the bettors and the odds were not low at all ranging from 1.72 to 1.88 in all those games. Leipzig despite playing great football was winning against a team already relegated in my opinion so for the Bundesliga title they need much more consistency because Bayern when will get back the injured players will keep winning again like they always do. |

Honestly, I'd say he took quite the gamble. Maybe the gambler of the year for 2022! This man bet his marriage on making it all the way to the super bowl. He also bet the majority of his wealth on the FTX scam. Unfortunately Mr. Brady has lost it all! You have got to feel bad for the guy. I am a huge Brady fan, and can sympathize with his losses. Surely many people that don't like him for whatever reason may be happy with his current predicament, which is honestly pretty sad if that is the case. We are all human here, and dealing with tremendous loss is difficult. Especially when you're in the lime light. I recently heard on a radio talk show a clip from a reporter asking Tom Brady just the other day what he was going to do now? Tom replied, " You know *name of the reporter* if I knew what I was going to do I would have already F$%king done it!" Poor Tom. I would bet that Brady stays at it, he is not going to end his career like this, having one of the most brutal years personally 1000% affected his game, I would bet that he gets picked up by another team soon, hopefully New England! Any thoughts on this?
Betting his marriage?This has only two option,the first one if he was crazy enough to throw away everything build up so far with his family if they were truly getting along nicely or the second one which I hope is not the case,he had enough of this marriage and his wife  that he wanted to get rid of these. Gambling has shown us throughout history that it can destroy lives and if he was good and great and gambled all these away because of his feeling superior in predicting outcomes to the Super Bowl then he has screwed up really really big in the worse possible way.I feel empathy for him as a gambler myself but this is something I would never do. |

We can all relate in this one , because there are many of us who gambles more when they start learning online casinos comparing when we are not in this area and we mostly experience more losses but accessibility wise more than playing in real life casino houses.
Only in theory I would say.The problem is that once you become addicted it won't stop you a simple drive to not go to the physical casino of your choice.I was once addicted to offline casinos many many years ago and I had the nearest casino many miles away yet this didn't stop me to go there almost every day,it tired me a lot,I lost my job back then and many other benefits because of such addiction but what I want to say is that addiction does not grow faster or slower when we have better accessibility right now with our modern devices,that is just how one person feels. |

Chelsea vs Fulham will be a straight win for fulham after the club has performed incredibly well in the last few games and how it will be is that first half may be a draw between both clubs but in the second half fulham will make a goal score.
I think that Chelsea really needs to step up their game during this encounter and they need the three points much more than Fulham does,Fulham when started the season their objective was to stay in the Premier League and so far they have completely achieve it while Chelsea as objectives need to go to the European competitions and Chelsea is behind in their objectives compared to Fulham and as such they need to play much more motivated than Fulham does.Despite this fact Fulham is on an impressive season this year and surely they will be a great obstacle for Chelsea. |

Napoli progress in Serie A this season has been very impressive, Napoli seemed unstoppable which made Spalletti side manage to top the standings.
The excellent performance shown by Napoli made him the favorite when he met Frankfurt, I am very interested in Napoli performance when destroying Juventus 5-1 in Serie A. Frankfurt also performed well in the Bundesliga, they managed to sit in 3rd place with 30 points. However, when compared to the strengths of the two teams, Napoli is superior to Frankfurt. Napoli are increasingly favored because their attack line is very productive in scoring goals. Victor Osimhen is Napoli's mainstay player this season who can really be a threat to any team's defense. Victor Osimhen has scored 13 goals in Serie A, and it's clear Frankfurt will have to keep a close eye on him. Frankfurt play at home in the first leg, that should be their advantage, while Napoli will play the second leg at home to determine who has the right to qualify. But before that, Napoli have 4 Serie A matches that they need to finish well including against Roma in the coming days. Napoli are certainly the favorites over Frankfurt, but no one knows for sure how the two teams will decide their fate. I know it is just a two games encounter and anything can happen but Napoli is beating the hell out of teams like Juventus with tennis results and with all due respect to Frankfurt,it is in no way capable of competing against a team like Napoli.I think if you want a sure bet it is Napoli to qualify further,the level of the Bundesliga is not that good with Bayern dominating as always while in the Serie A this year there were quite some teams in fight to win the title until Napoli passed them all and is leading comfortably.This comfortable lead is also another reason why I think Napoli will win as they will not care to sacrifice a game or two in order to qualify further in the Champions League. |

^ There were things going on behind the scenes that we're not privy to. There were some write ups about the whole thing that said Perez admitted that he deliberately 'got an accident' in Monaco last season at Q3 denying Verstappen of his last run making a possible pole. Perez got pole and won the race.
In the team radio when Verstappen's race engineer said that he had to let Perez pass, Verstappen said something like 'we already talked about this before and I'm taking my stand.'... Something like that. Even the race strategist or Horner won't even force the issue. So something really must have happened.
I think these are only rumors and I think that they clarified the behavior between the two drivers themselves.I think that there will be no such scenarios unless Perez deliberately crashes on Max during some race,however I don't see this happening,they have clauses in their contract and I don't think Perez would let himself to be known for a bad person and to leave that memory for himself,if he cannot win the Championship himself I think he will not interfere into Max fight for the title if Max will find himself fighting for the third consecutive title in F1,for me there is a big difference in drivers quality between Max and Checo,I am not talking about the human side of each one,that is a different story. Of course not cos even thinking about it would be dumb. If Perez deliberately crashes on Verstappen during a race, I'm pretty sure Perez will be given the sack the next say and his reputation is shot. Who would ever give him a drive if he deliberately crashes on his team mate for his personal gain? And what I'm just saying is Verstappen prolly had valid reasons for being an asshole. Be it the Monaco event or something else, Verstappen looked like he was really mad at Perez at the time. I think yes that would be the case if he behaves like this but if for example these two drivers are found in a middle of mischief during a multiple car accidents Perez can then deliberately crash on Verstappen and claim he didn't see his team mate in the middle of such big accidents.I know that these type of accidents rarely happen but when they do and if you find yourself in the middle of such accidents they can as well ruin your title fight,give you a psychological blow so that you are not giving your 100% anymore and this may as well happen to Verstappen,it will be interesting to see the relations between these two team mates during the new season which starts in one month and a bit. |

I didn't know that and doesn't feel fair at all because the ones who will print with that event will be USA while the 3 of them have to spend a lot of money for the event. I think the matches should be split into the same amount of games for each country because doesn't worth making the infrastructure and the conditions in a country only for 10 games. I feel like Mexico and Canada will lose a lot of money with this.
I'm pretty sure it will all be done in a proportional way, that means that the US will probably get the most out of it, and also will have the largest expenses. Mexico has already hosted the world cup two times (70, 86), so I'm surprised they only got to share this one. Canada on the other hand has never hosted it, so it will probably get a lot of attention from this one. Let's remember that the US has already hosted the world cup in 94 and it was quite alright. Well, with respect to the expenses that may be incurred in the countries, I don't know, in the case of Qatar they did not mind spending a large number of millions, because they wanted to show the majesty of their country and obviously the technology, culture and that It is a country that is far from everything they talk about, that is something that I think has to do with it, now it is in the government of each country for that moment how they will handle things, I don't know, I think that the countries that have or are More of South American origin will have many problems to enter these countries, at least for Venezuela they ask them to have a Visa to enter Mexico, and not to mention the USA and Canada, which are quite demanding countries. They truly are the USA and Canada however they have held a World Cup before in USA in 1994 and everything went smoothly.It went like that because the USA is a country which knows when to be flexible to make some exceptions to their normal laws and rules for such special events and as such once they find a way they will not ask a lot of demands for people who will only stay like 1 month or so during the duration of the World Cup there. Everything will go smoothly as it has always happened in every country that have held the event of the World Cup before.In here there is nothing that Canada and USA wants to show off because they don't need to while Qatar intentionally did spend much more than it was needed to show the world how great of a country they are,sure they didn't show all the dead people there building their stadiums under barbaric conditions. |

Marseille is indeed more convincing than Lens, it's just that they are also often unpredictable, sometimes in one game they are too bad, so they can't win points in this match. Now the point gap between them is not too big, leaving only 2 points from Lens, and 5 points from Paris Saint Germain. It would be great if we see this competition until the end of the season, and these two teams, Lens and also Marseille are showing high consistency to keep pressing Paris Saint Germain who are at the top of the standings.
The season is still quite long, in fact the two teams have the opportunity to shift PSG from the top of the standings. it is possible that the Ligue 1 trophy will not go to PSG's favor if Lens and Marseille can play more consistently. even with a player composition that is far from what PSG has, if they are able to shift PSG, it is a blow to PSG that must be really considered. they think they can focus on the Champions League, but they forget about Ligue 1. I think that to be highly unlikely to happen because as you say the consistency of Lens and Marseille is not brilliant,they sometimes have difficulties maintaining the rhythm of PSG which can win against any team and the fact that they lose a couple of games is only because they underestimate their opponents. If Lens or Marseille want to really take the lead and beat PSG the golden moment to do that is only when PSG will be more focused on the Champions League,starting next month because in normal conditions the teams from Ligue 1 are really of lower quality compared to Paris. |

We still don't know exactly how much the odds, when look at stake, Barcelona have 1.75 while MU have 4.30 and the chance of draw is 4.30. Maybe this still temporary result until next month begins. But, we know in home, Barcelona is a club which is not easy to beat, MU performance is far away from expected, especially Antony which have a gap different like he played on Ajax
We probably won't see a big difference in the odds when the game starts playing, like you said Barcelona playing at home is a team that is not easy to beat and this gives them an advantage in this first leg, if United can make this first leg match draw then the opportunity will be theirs, but it will be a tough job in the match later I haven't checked the odds provided by the dealer at all. however, because this fight still has a time lag. changes can occur at any time depending on the situation. because after all, if one of the core players from the two teams is absent due to injury, the odds will automatically change. but at least, we can see the picture that the bookies are giving for now. that Barcelona, is more favorite in terms of betting odds in the playoff match later. plus, Barcelona has the advantage of playing at home in the first leg. if Barcelona are able to overthrow Real Madrid in the supercopa cup, it is not impossible that United will be slaughtered by Barcelona at Camp Nou or it could be the other way around. At the very least, this fight will present a very interesting match and will present a very exciting battle, considering that these two teams have typical attacking formations. Playing at home in the first leg I would consider a disadvantage in normal conditions but since the UEFA has made null that a goal in the adversary field were more valuable than when scoring at home,I can say now they have the advantage as both games are of equal importance and that Barcelona is in the best of their form after winning recently the Super Cup of Spain against their historic rival Real Madrid. Manchester United on the other hand comes from one draw against a weaker team and a lost game against a strong team like Arsenal so the bookies are right to favor Barcelona to go further in this encounter. |

The situation in Schalke is not getting any better. They still have big deficits in defence. They absolutely have to work on that. So far, they have not strengthened their defence. They should definitely buy another defender. The next games will not be any easier. Except for the next game against Köln they have to play many games against teams that belong in the top 5.
Schalke is the team with the worst defense. they conceded 41 times in 17 matches. this season is really difficult for them to compete with teams in the Bundesliga. it looks like Schalke has locked a place for relegation next season. the next fight will not be easy either. Koln managed to hold off to a draw with Munich. and it could be bad for Schalke if Koln plays well again. Even if Koln is not as motivated as it is when playing against the leader of the standings like they did yesterday with a perfect goalkeeper who I think is the hero of yesterday game as Bayern dominated in every aspect the game except that which we all were expecting to score a lot of goals,Koln can play good enough football to beat Schalke and as you say the fact that they are already in Bundesliga II for next season won't help them much in this encounter. Now it looks like the best bet every time Schalke plays to bet on Over 2.5 goals,yesterday when they lost 1-6 I had them over 2.5 goals at odds 1.72 which was a good one. |

Surprisingly Lazio managed to beat AC milan with a landslide score of 4-0 in Serie A last night. I thought the score would end in a draw or a narrow win between the two teams, but lazio seems to be merciless this time against AC milan. Looks like AC milan also put pressure on this match, but Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel performed brilliantly with 3 saves. With this, Lazio has risen to 3rd place in the standings, right below AC Milan, which is only 1 point away.
The only surprise is the 4-0 result with a lot of goals as I don't think we can consider a surprise a team like Lazio to beat Milan at home.When playing away Milan has always not been in their best form as I remember the 0-0 draw of them against the last team in the standings and this is enough for me to see that they were going to lose yesterday night.I had placed a Lazio or draw double chance bet yesterday night and I won it but I regret having fear to bet on Lazio to win as I would have made a much better profit at an odd of near 3 for Lazio. |
