I absolutely agree with you. Fixed matches will continue to happen until there is greater oversight of athletes, coaches and clubs and stiffer penalties for those whose guilt is proven.
But in general I don't believe that fixed matches will ever be completely eliminated, that's why I think it's better to bet on several matches than on one single match.
Since the incentives to cheat will away be there then it is easy to speculate that fixed matches will never disappear, but at least an effort should be made to curb this behavior, I really think that the different sports and leagues around the world are afraid that if they made a real effort to crack down on those cheaters they will find out that a great deal of their teams and players were in it, and they will suffer huge repercussions if this was ever found out by the public. It is true, no matter how much effort is successful, the trap will always succeed, and it is somewhat sad, it should not exist, personally, I do not think things are here with sports, sports betting should not have any kind of repercussion with sports, but Apparently this has affected football, because here with the simple fact of seeing that the VAR and the arbitration shortlist can have their secrets is something that they fought so that they would not have more access to the audios and what is discussed in the VAR, something that seemed very bad to me and one of the main things so that they can continue doing the tricks. We know that in gambling there will be money, unfortunately the numbers are fantastic, and as we also know money is one of the things that will make something that is impossible possible. Here is how the ingenuity of a bookie or what we often call "mafia" in sports will move. Yes they have a lot of access to influence important people who are closely related to the sport with some money. Things like this are indeed very difficult to express, because every time they are detected, they will dare to sacrifice people to become scapegoats, and keep their main mastermind safe. Well yes, that is where the term that everyone talks about being rigged games comes from, in some cases, in casinos that are physical where their owners manage the machines, it could be said that they have access to many things , and between them they can do that he has Put his machines in his favor, this is not a lie, things can always be Manipulated, now what I like about online casinos is that since they are programmed in the blockchain it can be that audits are constant and that they can occur more ways to make it more legal , that's why I trust crypto casinos, of course the reputable and most reliable casinos.

Of course it is completely absurd to think of gambling as a source of steady income. There are some platforms for making steady income like those who run a business online or offline with a product or service. There the person gets a chance to earn a certain amount of money in exchange for the goods or services but this is not the case in gambling. If you win a good amount of money in gambling, you are more likely to lose it again later. If you put money, it can be lost or come back. So it is impossible to expect specific amount of money on uncertain platform. It is uncertain whether some money can be derived from here only for entertainment purposes. Many gamblers join gambling for the purpose of earning more money from gambling and later lose everything to become addicted gamblers.
It is never good to give as a very good thing or as a safe practice to see a casino as a source of total income, because firstly you cannot see a casino as an ATM and secondly you cannot see a casino as a job, The few people who do that or who see the casino as a source of income do not do well, and instead of winning what they do is losing, so it is best to earn money by working or if you want something else. risky but it is low knowledge so that trading is done, which is not all to chance but rather the degree of knowledge weighs heavily.

Well, this is an event that occurred and the truth is that I didn't really know how it was, but personally I am very curious, by chance I have always wanted to visit that country, but to all men who have a wife, I think that it would not be a good Destination with all the freedoms There is, of course, looking at it from a very conservative point of view, but each thing, each activity can be used to make bets and to do all kinds of activities to bet play, win, lose, but everything can be used to get a good bet , in everything you can get a Business model.

In principle, there is no gambling competition where you can easily win. You can always make analyzes based on statistics and tell them to gamble at league A, but you have no guarantee of success and profit, so that is still luck. If you were to dive into the world of arbitrage betting, it would be a completely different story. But keep in mind that you quickly run into a problem with lower divisions, namely that you cannot make large bets and the profit margin is therefore relatively low, so that the advantage is quickly neglected.
I also think the same, for me any league can make us lose or win, coincidentally today I have seen a lot of football news and something that seemed interesting to me is that with all the talk about Messi and the league where he went, that the Guatemalan League is well above the MLS, and it also indicates that the MLS is a very easy league that he can win by supporting the team he plays for, which is Inter Miami, and this is something that many can turn on to bet and yes, it is a good tactic that can be given, but just as they can ensure that they will win, but no, nothing is certain.

The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...
How do you fight this battle?
Rehab is the best ever solution to get rid of any kind of addiction which maybe hard to practice but it's the most effective so we need to make them realise they are addictive towards gambling so it's time to spend time on other things as well. But for someone else we can't do much, all we can do is show the path and their will power only can take them to the place where they want to be. Well, if you feel yourself that you are doing something more than how much you're supposed to do then its time to focus on other. One of the ways we have to do things to overcome others is to have another type of entertainment in mind , how ? doing sports, doing activities to get organized and stop thinking about what is causing damage, when the damage is very strong , it is very obvious that you need help, therapies, rehabilitation, because sometimes addictions can become so strong as to Overcome certain emotions of People and have a direct influence on your life, and that is what should be avoided. As adults, you always have to be in Control of Everything and not let yourself be Defeated by Adversity.

Recognition first. Bookies won't add something if there's no good betting market.
Possibly, it should appear first at local bookies. But as time progresses, and if that event will be more recognized, maybe there's a chance that it can be added now by most bookies. Reading more details about the event specifically the World Cup version, I think there's a big chance that some bookies might add it in the future.
Not as the usual sport event but the same as how we see bets on such general events (e.g. US Pres. election bet etc.).
In this you are absolutely right, as far as I am concerned I prefer that some games , bets always have a lot of relevance, the relevance and the number of people who want to play is important, firstly because the demand is important for the jackpot to be good and it is not Disappointing, and on the other hand the more people come in and talk and the Word Spreads it will cause the normal curiosity of all kinds, this attracts, at any time things can go to another level , but if there is no Interest in a new game or event I think that people will not take it , no matter how Beautiful it looks.

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted.. I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) ?. I do believe that we shouldn't be really shocked about this because we keep seeing about these type of people, they do exist and even though we would say "don't do it" normal people are aware that they shouldn't do it, it is not a shock, and we shouldn't be shocked neither. I mean you wouldn't do it, I wouldn't no normal person would do it and I understand that, but when it comes down to these people it is obvious that they are not normal. I believe that we shouldn't judge them, there are a lot of people with mental issues and I think it would be quite troublesome if we end up with anything more than that when we scratch off these type of people as well. I think it's quite important to just let them be and hope that they get the treatment they need before they end up like this guy. Well, each person has their way of thinking and their way of acting, that defines it according to their personality and it is very common for there to be people who have some problems, either due to trauma or because they were actually born with a flaw in their brain, and these things are sometimes not their fault, the bad thing is that when they are not treated in time they can give all kinds of reactions regardless of the consequences , of course this carries a huge responsibility charge and this leads us to think that all of us As players we always have to be responsible for our game and always be very right in what we do.

Gambling and casino are not only advertised on YouTube but when you start watching a video on Facebook you will see gambling and casino ads in between. It's annoying for us but an important promotion mechanism for gambling and casinosites.
Indeed, it is not only in ads but most of the time this so called influencers insert some clips of some gambling sites in their vlog showing that they are winning, sometimes they also give small amount of money and people will use that as initial deposit but the most common problem is they cannot withdraw the money they have earned. Gambling are now being advertise everywhere even those not regulated ones. The business model will always be more advanced , here adsense Anywhere can give Benefits to one with the Inconvenience of others, it seems to me that Youtube is very annoying with the ads, and it just so happens that I don't get ads from casinos, I would really like them to come out of casinos, but I get music or things like that , Apart from everyone has how to invest their money and their way of Monetizing , obviously YouTube uses advertising to maintain itself, it's not bad , I think that this publicity is not only on Youtube but on all the M,st Common Social Networks and those that we all Use at some Point.

~snip~ The 2024 POTUS elections are going to be really interesting. Voters from both sides of the political spectrum are going to vote for a candidate not because they like them, but because they dislike the other candidate more. And regarding the charges that Trump is facing, I am not very sure. If someone from the Democrat party was in his place, then in all probability there will be no charges at all. Bill Clinton sexually abused several women while being the POTUS, and yet he never spent a single day behind bars. There seems to be different set of rules for different people within the United States.
I think most of the latest elections have been like that in a way. Basically people voting for "the other" candidate because they simply dislike the alternative, instead of voting for specific people. It's a divided country, and every year it gets more and more polarized. I hope they can see some sense from the other side because at the end of the day there are more similarities than differences. This is interesting , because here polarization can influence in many ways , and since we have seen everything with Trump and Biden, I say these two because it is only more likely, of course if they do not disqualify Trump, 'because I see what they have done to him war so that he is not a candidate for the Presidency , there are many charges that are imposed on him, not only accusations of women, but also those that he took to his residence papers that have to Do with national Security , and boy is that delicate , in this aspect What can be Taken as something very Bad and a violation of rights in Every way for a Former president , We have to wait and see how all this continues to Develop.

I agree that casinos wouldn't be thrilled about AI, considering it could potentially give the gambler an unfair edge. But isn't it similar to counting cards, which although frowned upon, isn't technically cheating?
While I share your apprehension, I also believe in the endless potential of AI. If harnessed correctly, who knows? Maybe it could revolutionize the way we gamble!
This AI discussion will not work and no gambling platform will allow the use of bots in their casino that's why artificial intelligence development will sell well to casino clients since it has nothing rhetorically to add to the outcome either for or against the casinos the player and this will result into going in a cycle which is not something most of us will like to try, and even if you managed to win using AI, the casino can still freeze your account on the offence of using the artificial feature in the class of bot. In every casino, possible ways of cheating will always be avoided, obviously if a player uses AI it is cheating, and that counts as something invalid, here the point of everything is to determine when it is an AI or not, because there are many players that they have an impeccable way of playing, and it may be that possible detectors take it as if it were an AI, so this is something that can be counterproductive and blame an innocent person, because considering how everything related to AI is going, it is very possible Whatever happens, of course, in this field of gambling and in any other, AI can even take jobs away from many people.

This is a question that, in my opinion, is definitely only done by a few people because the majority immediately forget how much losses they experienced when gambling every day. and I myself have never counted how much money I loss on gambling in a year, I really can't do it ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yes, I think that they are accounts that nobody likes to bring up, because they are bad episodes that have been lived, and I know that we as humans do not like to relive the bad things that we have gone through, and that can mean becoming regrets, but it is very useful to do it, with that you have better control over it, for everything you always have to draw many conclusions and above all you have to see how much our losses and gains are, because otherwise there is no way to see if we are Profitable or if the fall It will not lead to an abyss of money that we will never recover again , so it is necessary to have the Accounting of our money.

Losing certainly feels bad. I know the feeling of losing a lot of money due to my stupidity but that has not stopped me from losing even more money in the all-too-near futures after that. Just put it out of your head and not dwell on it too much. Otherwise you start thinking you can win your loss back but end up losing more money...
You're right, I think we've all experienced at some point that things like this, losing because of a bad move feels ugly, sometimes with sadness, anger, of course that turns into remorse with the desire to have a feeling of revenge, and that Sometimes you have to control it, sometimes we must humbly accept that we lose when we gamble, it is the best, since seeking revenge or chasing losses is the worst, because that turns into continuing to lose money, and that is not correct, because gambling In a casino it should be synonymous with fun, but not with pressure, stress or something that turns into a nightmare.

Agreed. The only reason why Donaire is still continuing his career here in boxing industry is he thinks that he can still have a good fight and defeat the younger guys at 118 but if the opposite will happen especially if he will be defeated without a doubt or worse, a KO/TKO. I think that will be an enough reason for him to believe that his time is already finished because he's not the same Donaire anymore and most probably, cannot become a champion again before he hangs up his gloves.
Also because his last fight was against a truly stronger one in the 118 and that is Naoya Inoue so he thinks he can still match with other boxers in that division. If some boxers in 118 will now put Donaire to another loss, that's the time maybe that he will consider retiring. If happened that he still dominated Santiago here, it will give him think that he can still face young boxers despite his age. Maybe after he wins here, he will still have 1-2 fights and that's enough to make him fight in a unification match at the age of 42-43. If Donaire loses and Santiago wins, there is no sense of continuing his boxing journey now and it's good to hang his gloves now. He cemented already his legacy as one of the well-known PH boxers who established a great boxing career. Personally, I would like Nonito Donaire to be able to demonstrate that age is not an impediment to sport, on the contrary, that the more seniority and the more experience the better for every boxer and I believe that for every athlete, this It is something that will always be noticed, not only in boxing do you see these things, but also in soccer I have seen that the players always do whatever it takes to look fit and be in shape, so that new players do not surpass them or hurt them. gain in speed, that's what they always fear, but that's something that can go wrong, in boxers things look different.

DON'T GAMBLE IF THE INSTANT WITHDRAWAL IS NOT AVAILABLE!
Yes, I agree. I've experienced the same thing. At that time I made a withdrawal but there was a problem with the bank account that I was using (this problem occurs when playing using fiat money). Because the bank is having trouble so the withdrawal process is pending and I'm waiting for my normal bank network to play the game with a little money. But it doesn't work very well, I get to lose a lot. I got emotional and raised the bet. It didn't take long, all my money was gone. I failed to make a withdrawal Controlling emotions when playing gambling is indeed difficult. When the money runs out and the withdrawal fails, only regret remains. I just thought "why was I playing again at that time? If I closed the site and opened YouTube to watch entertainment shows maybe my money wouldn't be gone". But it has happened, time can not be repeated. Now I always stop when I get a big win and withdraw all the money on the site. Well, I can't deny something, there is nothing that bothers me more than being told that withdrawals are not instantaneous in a casino, first of all that makes me think a lot of bad things, because at once it comes to mind that it is a casino scam, and it's something natural I can't help it, the bad experiences I've had with casinos are for that reason, because they say that the withdrawals are not instantaneous and that they are manual, because they need to check if it's legal or not, or because Different ways that casinos have to kill time, particularly when that happens, the first thing that I imagine is that the casino has no funds.

I don't think big gambling sites are going to check whether a player has used a VPN or not. That doesn't matter for the use of the site, does it? There are several reasons why a player can use a VPN. And there is another element underlying that, if someone uses a VPN for privacy, that is a different reason than someone using a VPN because they are located in a country where gambling is prohibited. Then you should combine this with strict KYC protocols. It remains a dangerous business to use KYC.
There have been many issues in certain sections with gambling sites not wanting to cash out players for using a VPN. I personally think you should have a reason to do this, just saying you used a VPN so we're closing your account would be a very weak statement. But it happens. I don't see the problem with a VPN myself, as long as someone just gets through the KYC procedure and doesn't harm the general terms and conditions in that respect, then it doesn't seem like a problem to me. It is of course the player's own responsibility to read the general terms and conditions. I agree that the use of a VPN should not be penalized so heavily, after all if most gamblers which want to make a withdrawal have to go through a KYC process then this is not too much of a problem anymore, however it is obvious such strict rules are in place because some casinos do indeed want to make use of that particular rule on their TOS to avoid paying the customers that forget to turn off their VPNs when accessing their website, and as much as such behavior could be badly seen by us, as long as the gambler accepted those conditions there is not much we can do about it. I think casinos have categories where they penalized the use of VPN such as circumventing the restrictions of the casino. That is a serious offense because the country is blocked and supposed to be not playing in their casino but the hard-headed player because of the urge to gamble he bypasses everything and uses VPN to play even though he is from the restricted country. If a reputable casino suspends the account, it is sure that the player suspended is cheating or breaking TOS. I sometimes try to understand why a casino is annoyed that some user uses the VPN to play there, instead of feeling praised because even though they are prohibited from entering for being in a country that is not allowed, they still do so, instead of accept it, because here it doesn't matter where the person is from, it's the player that matters, and I believe that every player is classified as a player and not as from a specific country, or by the color of their skin, race, religion, etc., here it is What matters is that I can play, enjoy, win, lose, the normal thing in a casino, so sometimes I don't understand these things, but hey, each casino , each company has its way of seeing things.

And it now happened, WBA Super Bantamweight Champion Marlon Tapales might now be the PH boxer who has the chance to face Naoya Inoue first, instead of the expectation of the majority, that it's Casimero who is currently still climbing the 122 division rankings. Of course, Tapales meeting Inoue soon will just happen if the latter will win against Fulton. If Stephen Fulton wins against Naoya Inoue, Marlon Tapales instead will unify his belt against him. If Fulton still wins, Tapales might meet Inoue as both will be a contender but the status of Casimero when that time comes might still be hanging because he can't even secure a big fight "for now" to somehow give him a chance to climb at a much higher rank. There's also a possibility that later in the 122 division, a PH vs PH might face each other. Well then, too early for these speculations mine ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . What matter here is, Tapales is now almost secured to have the next big fight on his timeline. What you're saying is not entirely impossible mate because as long as Casimero will stay active and have successive fights, soon enough, his ranking will surely increase and most probably will earn himself a big fight someday. Although there might be some changes when it comes to the possible opponent of Casimero, Inoue and Tapales because I think Fulton will shuffle all the cards in time when he leaves the division and vacates the belt he is possessing, if he won his future fight with Inoue. If Fulton will win and Inoue will stay on this current division, the chance of seeing Casimero vs Inoue might take place, it's possible since the belt will be vacant once Fulton move up. Though if ever Inoue will win, then the chance to see Tapales to be his next target is possible by knowing Inoue, he wanted to unify all belts. Let see what would be the outcome first from this upcoming fight next month. Well, although all things are possible in the world of boxing, it can be intuited that Fulton has the ability to beat Inoue, and clearly Inoue is a rookie boxer in this category, and they can welcome him in a way he doesn't expect , but seeing how Inoue is, I see it as difficult for them to win, at first I would have preferred that Casimero welcome him, but Fulton has everything so that he can win, but since we come with an image of an Inoue who is considered As almost a Boxing genius , he implies that he can face things in the Same way as in his Previous category.

Sure enough that nobody have been expecting nor saw that coming because if I recall it correctly, neither of the signs were pointing at the Inter Miami CF as people and rumors have been suspecting that it's either Messi will join Ronaldo in Saudi or he will go back to Barcelona until the day of his retirement. But that didn't happen and safe enough to say that people are curious why Miami has been chosen for the legend.
Maybe it should be mentioned that Beckham has been working on a Messi transfer for years now. Those who followed the news the last couple of years likely thought that Messi will go back to either Barcelona or go to Saudi Arabia, but the devil is in the details here. Messi did signal in the past that he might be willing to play in the US and since this topic is about the World Cup 2026, there might be more to this transfer to Inter Miami than just Messi's mood to play soccer in Florida. He will create a lot of enthusiasm and new fans in the US area and that could spark an extra wave of excitement that will further mobilize the masses towards this huge event in a few years from now. The timing makes a lot of sense in many respects. I only see here that Inter Miami can give Messi and his family peace of mind, sometimes we don't realize how people's lives really are, Messi said that he had 2 years of complete unhappiness, that is, he did not enjoy not being at PSG at all and that was very emphatic, it's just that there you can see that things in the big teams are not always pink, not all that glitters is gold, at least I think that Messi this time opted for something more peaceful and for a happy retirement in football it is not bad, as such, he has already won everything that a footballer can be capable of winning.

People who gamble deal with gambling in different ways. But of course you start with losing and winning. When we win, the moods are usually reasonably comparable, but the problems naturally arise when a player is losing. Some cry in a corner and avoid all contact with other players. And yet other gamblers who have lost need contact to push away the gambling loss and try to forget that a financial blow has taken place. There are also several books written about it, by the way, for enthusiasts.
For every player it will always be essential to have full control of their thoughts, emotions and above all the money they can handle, for this reason I always say, a person who enters a casino always enters with the thought that they cannot see or casino as an ATM, but see it as a means where you will have a part of your money for fun and not to win necessarily, that is what many do not see, and I call it maturity, as a person goes advancing in the game that is what you learn and above all to manage your money and everything that has to do with your vision

Besides, these articles sometimes to have the full story, maybe the man is a religious man and gambling is something that might be frowned upon and was trying to stick to his principles....whatever it is, give it time, the son will explain himself and they will find a way to agree on how to receive the monetary gift.
In this case, reading the whole story, one thing is clearly understood, except for the father, the other members of the boy's family are interested in keeping the money won by the bet. But the boy's father is not agreeing to spend his gambling money for the benefit of the family for some religious reasons. If you look at the boy's older brother's post, they only told the netizens that the gambling money is with his family should be spent. Moreover, the boy's mother is willing to spend the gambling money with the family because the boy's family still owes two months of house rent. If the boy spends the gambling money for family purposes, then his family will have a great life in the future. the man is actually teaching his son that the winnings from gambling are money that cannot be used for food because according to religion that must be done while the child does not understand the intentions and goals of their father, however I respect his father because that is his principles as a man and a responsible father Even if the man is a religious person, why didn't he train his child to also be a religious son so that the son will not waste his money to gamble. Does he as a father understand that his son has been spending in gambling for years, how come he wants to stop the reward of his son. The holy scriptures also permits anyone that sows to be able to reap. He being a religious man should not stop his son from reaping what ever he has invested his time and money into. Well each dogma or religion is highly respected and everyone has their beliefs, their religion and everything related to it, as far as I'm concerned I think something that is quite free, our children will always be our children, but they can never be equal to we, they are other people who make their decisions, and for my part I will always be proud of my children, of course under my authority they should always do what I teach them, I tell them to train them very well , so that in the Future they will be men and women who Contribute to the world and who are important, who help others and above all can be good people , the rest is up to them, that is why a father cannot be so Radical.

-snip Inter Milan have done their best in the Champions League this season, I even predicted they would lose with a 2 goal difference, but in reality they only conceded one goal. And even in the final minutes especially, they got a lot of chances, but unfortunately the opportunities they got couldn't be converted into goals. I don't think the Goddess of luck is on their side in this match. Yes, Inter weren't too bad in the UCL final, even they also can do a lot of effort in that match, there are two best golden opportunities for them, but sadly they weren't so lucky to scored. By the way, on the other side. Hellas Verona success to get a winning against Spezia today, and they Verona will still in Serie A next season, congrats ! This match really impressive 4 goals were created in the first half, it was a hot match. That is what many have been saying. Inter Milan won't get many chances during that final game and if they get chances, they have to convert them into goals. Now we have seen the result what happens when you don't take the opportunities and score especially when it is unlikely that you will have a lot of them. But Inter Milan's season has still been quite ok. They have done the work to qualify for the Champions League again and they won a title in the Coppa Italia. The disappointment will outweigh the positive feelings for a couple of days because they know that they had a chance to beat the best team in Europe. But as it gets closer to the start of the new season they will also reflect a bit more positively on what they have achieved this season. As for me, I think that Inter is one of the teams that have done their job the best, in UCL for me they were the champions, but I don't know, but Lukaku I think he was the one who had the most influence in looking for that victory that he never could materialize, and it is somewhat sad, because they deserved to have at least tied that game, and to be honest, City's goal was more of a rebound than if it had been planned, something that came out fortuitously, but that's fútbol, it always happens that The one who deserves does not win, but the one who scores the goals, it does not matter how well they have played, what matters is who scored and who won, that is what always determines a good game of fútbol. and: Inter transfers: Six players set to leave after Dzeko, Lukaku infuriates Chelsea![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkimg.com%2Fimages%2F2023%2F06%2F23%2FHejRD.png&t=665&c=8FZBI-aZH_WBaQ) The Nerazzurri have practically no transfer budget so they must sell some of their players before making new purchases.
André Onana’s agents are in talks with Manchester United and the Red Devils are ready to place an opening offer for the Nerazzurri who want at least €50m for the Cameroon international.
Edin Dzeko has already joined Fenerbahce as a free agent and three more players’ won’t extend their expiring contracts with the Nerazzurri. Friday’s printed edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (page 5) claims Samir Handanovic, Danilo D’Ambrosio and Roberto Gagliardini will leave on June 30. Chelsea’s Cesar Azpilicueta could replace D’Ambrosio, as per Sky Sport Italia.
Marcelo Brozovic and Robin Gosens are also expected to leave. The pink paper confirms Union Berlin have reached a principle of agreement with the German left-back, but Inter want at least €15m.
