Sportsbet is one of the reputable casinos in here,once they verify everything you say and the best person is Steve as already mentioned here,I am sure that you will get all your money back,deposited amount plus winning amount.The casino where you have chosen to play would surely not blow up their reputation for that ridiculous amount,however it is the first time I see some reputable casino asking KYC for such a ridiculous amount like 250 dollars,as far as I remember I used to withdraw 1000 dollars here at Sportsbet a couple of years ago without a single problem,most likely laws have changed as I don't see any other reason for them to do so.
4922  Economy / Gambling / Re: Nebeus: the easiest way to send money to a Crypto Casino!! on: January 17, 2023, 07:08:26 PM
I just send money only through crypto most of the time because it is as the name says a crypto casino.If I wanted to send FIAT to a crypto casino like dollars or any other currency I think most of them accept direct deposits through credit cards or when they don't they point to different service providers which do so.

Nebeus looks like an advertisement that you are doing for it and the many options it offers,however as I said above is not really needed in the crypto community especially since it is just a third party app which does not let you own your private keys,we just send crypto to the crypto casino and if we want to send FIAT we send directly.

How do I handle my losses? Simple, accept the losses and do not try to recover the losses in the next gambling session.
Means that every single session should be a new session without thinking of revenge to take back what I've lost previously.
Anyway I'm interested the point of "to avoid greedy friends" because some of my friends are greedy and sometime I do greedy as well.
For me, I will not be influenced by greedy friends, I'll just ignore them if they tell me something that I do not want to do.

They say that the people who keep track of sheep are really quiet people and those who keep track of some more aggressive animals are aggressive as persons.With this analogy I want to say that the human nature can be influenced just like in the above example and despite you saying you will ignore your friends,with the passing of time if you stay with greedy friends it is only natural for you to become greedy.The best to do in such situation is to play alone at the comfort of your home fully relaxed and enjoy the sessions,this way you will forget about such friends.

Really funny yesterday night the end of the game,for me it was a real goal that of Sampdoria despite having the bet on Empoli draw no bet and my bet would be void if the referee would have not called it off because of the VAR technology.Of course it would have been a shame for the game and it would have destroyed so many tickets that I am happy that Empoli won,beside that Sampdoria only scoring 8 goals in this whole season so far says a lot about them,this is the worst season in their history in Serie A when it comes to scoring goals.
4925  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: January 17, 2023, 10:36:41 AM
I left betting on national teams after the World Cup ended but Germany were one of the best playing teams in the World Cup. They just had issues with finishing and said farewell to the tourney in group stage unluckily. I see Germans as favourites of the tourney with their host country advantage as a result.
don't get fooled by the fact that the Euro will be played in Germany, if you think Germany can win it as a team, it's fine you do you, but because they are the host it doesn't mean anything, we saw what happened to Brazil in 2014 world cup, it's rare where a host wins the tournament, who i actually think can win it is England, they have some young talents that can get them the trophy and it's been a long time since they won something.

It seems to me that German national football has been in crisis for a long time. After the 2014 world title in Brazil, they did nothing in the world competitions and were eliminated twice in a row in the group stage of the world championship, which is no coincidence.
Honestly, regardless of the fact that they are the hosts of the next European Championship, I don't see them as favorites for the title.
At the European Championship, I expect the most from the French, England, Spain and Italy.


@Daniel91 Germany’s football used to be so great once upon a time, but now a day’s they play really bad but since it’s in their home country I sincerely hope that they will perform well at least for the sake of their citizens. However I don’t expect them to win it, because I expect France or England to win it because they have really good player’s who can help them win it.

I think that now Germany must make a mix of its best players, the oldest and the youngest, perhaps the youngsters are not afraid of the veterans and that is an advantage, but they do not have experience and in a game you need to have experience to deal with certain things, even with arbitration, so if veterans join the team, and youngsters, the team will have a better integration, it will be more complete as I had said before, let's just look at what Spain did in the World Cup, it took only youngsters And they still got kicked out, veterans are always needed in a team so they can do things better.


For me personally, it's actually a surprise to see the big decline of the German national team after the great games at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil when they became world champions.
I actually expected them to continue playing at the same level and be competitive still in all the major competitions after 2014, but that didn't happen.
Maybe they didn't do the generational change well? Is something else the problem? It's really hard to give a good answer.
German clubs are still good and achieve good results in European club competitions, but the national team has not been at the expected level for a long time.
As I said before, I don't think they will be favorites at the European Championship next year, but as the hosts they will still have an advantage that they can use.

@Daniel91 the only advantage Germany has that it can expect more local fan's for their matches, but their fan’s too will stop cheering after a certain point if they see their country player’s constantly playing sloppy football. Lastly I personally believe that France will have the advantage in the form of Pogba who had to miss the World Cup due to injuries, and I’m sure that he would like to make up for it by helping his country win this tournament.

I agree seeing the World Cup performance of France that it was even without Pogba makes one think as clearly it was the best performing team from Europe.Now they are playing in the Euro and in here I think they are the team to beat,if Pogba is added to the team this means only much more quality to the already one that France has.It is a dream attack with Mbappe and Pogba just behind supporting him,I think as it stands,the teams with the actual players France is the main favorite to win this upcoming Euro cup.

No one can compare with a Powerball win which is what the majority of the mentioned people have won in this thread.I doubt anyone in sport betting or in casino games like slot machines and other games like roulette,poker etc has ever been capable of winning such huge amounts.The one couple that I know and read online some years ago have won a huge jackpot in slot machines at Vegas after playing for more than 40 years they got 75 million dollars which is a totally irrelevant sum compared to the sums mentioned in this thread,so yes I also think no sport betting or slot machine playing can give you that number of win,some slot machines offer a x300.000 your bet as a maximum payout but still cannot compare with those prizes.
4927  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 17, 2023, 08:39:53 AM

Manchester City's defeat in their last match made the road to the title easier for Arsenal. Arsenal has been playing very well since the start of the season. And they have been able to continue this streak. At the moment, the Arsenal team is 8 points ahead of Manchester City. As Arsenal is in good form and has been performing consistently well, if this trend continues, it is not possible for Manchester City to win the title. But if Arsenal loses the truck and starts dropping points consistently, then maybe Manchester City, Newcastle, and Manchester United will have the chance to win the title. But so far it looks like this season's champions will be Arsenal.

These are just assumptions, any team can start losing points, not only Arsenal. So far, everything suggests that Arsenal are confidently moving towards their long-awaited title. There was some talk about Leicester (when they won the Premier League) that they could not win, that they would have a recession and lose the advantage, but as we know this did not happen. The last loss of points made the situation very difficult for City, Guardiola will try to follow Arsenal to the last, but so far the alignment is not in his favor.

There have been played almost half of the Premier League games and I think this is enough time to see which team usually drop points,we have seen every single team dropping points well except Arsenal and for me this is the strongest indication that their overall condition is better than any team.Sure they have lost one game against Man.United and draw 2 against Southampton (big surprise) and against Newcastle but every other game they have a win.All other teams have not been that consistent except Newcastle maybe,all of them Man.United,Man.City,Liverpool,Tottenham and Chelsea both have been not consistent which suggests that truly this time it is only Arsenal who can lose the title.

You are right. Barcelona and Manchester United were weak teams at the start of the season. They could not consistently perform well. But now their performance is excellent. Both teams are strong now. And their performance has changed a lot. And so it is difficult to predict which team will win the match of Barcelona Balaam United. Both teams have equal chances of winning.

Out of the 8 set of matches in the knockout round play-offs, obviously this one (Barcelona vs Manchester United) is the most exciting one. Less than a month remains for the first leg match (to be held in Camp Nou, Barcelona). I have my doubts regarding Barcelona. But their performance during the Supercopa de España cleared all those doubts. Yesterday they win against Real Madrid by a big margin. Robert Lewandowski, despite his age seems to be in good form. On the other hand, ManU are also in good form, as they are placed 4th in the EPL points table.

I agree.The performance of Barcelona in the Supercup was a real great one and it was against one of the best teams not only in La Liga but also in the world which is Real Madrid.Barcelona completely dominated the game and deserved to win the cup however this does not assure that they are going to qualify further against Manchester United,sure it has much higher chances but it is not a sure thing.It is not a sure thing because Manchester United lately is on fire in the Premier League even winning the last derby against Manchester City to continue their winning streak,so for me is 65-35%,65% for Barcelona and 35% for Manchester United to qualify further.

Well the fact that Cadiz did not score in all the opportunities they had means only one thing and that is the unwritten law of soccer which says that if you don't score you will concede.That is exactly what happened last night,Cadiz was self complacent and thought that they already won the game and I find it funny the way Elche woke up in the second half as if you think about it,the point they got does not do them anything good,of course is better than 0 points but overall it does not change even a little their position which is a sure relegation most likely in the end of this season.

The lottery winner in round 398 has 24 million more tickets even though he is still in a profitable position if all the tickets result from buying but surely he gets that many tickets not entirely from buying but more than actively playing or maybe from referral activity, and seeing from his id he is players who signed up in the early days of freebitcoin and that's amazing there is player who remain loyal to play at one casino even though the casino has very limited types of games.

Some people like him when they like a site no matter if the site has limited options and when they know that the site has a huge house edge of 5% they still continue to play and it is truly awesome that he won the lottery as I said in my previous post.

Not only him but even me play a lot in autobet when there will be bonus RP days like the one starting tomorrow,of course I don't play that much and I also don't think he played that much but most likely since is one of the oldest members here he sure should have tons of referrals that are active in gambling as well.

Russia is thinking that they can keep fighting and keep the Western power at bay and they want to kill up to the last Ukrainian,40 people is nothing for them,also they have done much more horrible crimes than this,I hope everyone remembers the civilians killed in Bucha especially that guy in the blue coat (killed for fun from Russian soldiers) which went viral back then,they did the same in Kharkiv where massive graves were found which consist a serious war crime yet they are still a member of the UN.

Anyway back to economics here on the thread,the gas is a suicide move for Russia,Europe distanced themselves 30% this year in which they were not really prepared and they intend in a couple of years do be 90% dependent free from Russian gas and oil.The smartest "guy" in this war is the US,they are draining all of Russia power,military and economic and once the war is over Russia will be down on their knees,an isolated country which will have not a real future and no one will give a damn about them anymore as a great power of the world.
I feel sorry for all those who have nowhere to go and have lost their lives.
Although Uk and France has promised to send more arms and ammunition and tanks to help Ukraine armed forces but that is accelerating the war more! and making more blood shed.


If they don't send more heavier weapons to Ukraine which also NATO has approved to do so in their latest statement,they let Russia have it their way and we know what will happen next when a psychopath like Putin is in power,he will think that he can go and invade another country which would then be prelude to World War 3 as I think no country would be just staring anymore.Therefore as long as they provide Ukraine with the needed weaponry they are doing their part to protect the free world,I know that this may sound like they are using Ukrainian people to do so but it is not like that,it is Russia who invaded out of nowhere and Ukraine has to respond.Imperial fantasies of Putin should come to an end sooner rather than later for the sake of the good of all humanity.

In the long term I see the 2023 year as one for most of us to recover,we almost have completely left behind that pandemic which in all honesty where I live has increased the surface of the cemeteries in a really horrendous way and I am really glad we have left it back as it is not deadly anymore,let's hope also the economies recover,inflation cools even more and everything goes back to normality.

However, China has not been able to offer the world anything similar to Western liberal values ​​(which are indeed of great value).  
They really aren't. You are just looking at the winners of World War 2 and concluding that based on the advantage they had just because they won while the rest of the world were destroyed and continued being destroyed ever since with the wars these same winners began. Otherwise liberalism is the worst thing that happened to the world right after communism and bunch of other *isms.

In my experience whatever sector that got infected with liberalism got ruined shortly after. One of the main reasons why our economy is in ruins is because of that!

Besides, all of these things are working for a short time and only as long as everything else is going fine. But the moment things get hard you'll see how these liberal democrats bring down the hammer! For example in UK (which is a dictatorship under the mask of democracy) they are passing a law that instead of fixing the problem that caused the strikes, would force those workers on strike to continue working like slaves!

What is liberalism? How does it differ from other political approaches to the interaction between the citizen and the state?

The basic principle of liberalism is that the state was created for the needs of its citizens. The opposite approach is that people serve the interests of the state. If a citizen of the state does not benefit the state, then he can be shot with impunity in the street, like a stray dog. From the point of view of liberalism, a person cannot be killed just like that, since he has the basic (natural) right to life.

However, if you use a different approach, then there are no obstacles to killing a person, since no natural rights are recognized for a person. He has only obligations to the state. For me, the state is an abstract construction, convenient for the functioning of a social society.

Therefore, I believe that the state should sell natural gas to Europe, and distribute the money received among the citizens of the state, increasing their well-being.

And this is a purely liberal approach.
Today again attack on Dnipro apartments killed more than 40 people including children.
Its been months that Ukraine has been attacked - isn't there any rule of war to be stopped after the X numbers of day - this. is beyond horrible.


Russia is thinking that they can keep fighting and keep the Western power at bay and they want to kill up to the last Ukrainian,40 people is nothing for them,also they have done much more horrible crimes than this,I hope everyone remembers the civilians killed in Bucha especially that guy in the blue coat (killed for fun from Russian soldiers) which went viral back then,they did the same in Kharkiv where massive graves were found which consist a serious war crime yet they are still a member of the UN.

4934  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What are your plans for the coming year? on: January 16, 2023, 07:58:28 PM
For mining these coins do not use video cards. philipma1957 uses asics.
Now asics are much more profitable than mining on video cards, but the history of mining tells us that this may change. But maybe you need to wait another 1 year.

You're absolutely right... I forgot those coins are script. Sorry.  Lips sealed



For the GPU mining you can still try to mine or dual mine ETHW+ZIL or ETHF+ZIL as some of the best option which of course now you only mine them at a loss but in a longer term like from 1-2 years from now this is a sure move to make you profit,patience is key in the GPU mining right now.

What I already thought about was putting my 3060 Ti, mining a different currency every week, to add a little bit of various coins. This is in anticipation of something going up. But I haven't done any of that yet, lack of patience.

I have exactly my 3060 Ti plus 2060 12 GB version mining the above coins,the hash rate is near 100 Mhsh so I am rounding it to that and I love to collect any type of such coins,more likely I like the Zil beside Ethw or Ethf,in fact I stopped mining Ethf as I didn't see a strong community behind them and just mined like 10 of them in case anything big happens.These are my GPU coins,I also am mining CPU coins,mainly Raptoreum,I have big hopes for this coin so the more I can get up to the next bull run the merrier.

I suggest you do this as who knows what happens after a couple of years,we should not miss the second train to Ethereum which I think would be either ETHW most likely or in a rare case the ETHF.
4935  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: January 16, 2023, 07:44:30 PM
Manchester City will host Tottenham for a postponed match in Week 7. This will be crucial for Manchester City's journey to be able to stay in the position they currently occupy. The reason is if they lose this match, then they will be threatened to be shifted by the club that is now under them. Tottenham this week suffered another defeat from the top standings, Arsenal. With the strength that Manchester City has now, I'm pretty sure Manchester City will be able to beat Tottenham in the game later, or in other words, Manchester City's chances are bigger than Tottenham to be able to win.
This match will definitely be interesting, both of them lost in the previous match, both of them possibility will show a good game to get points. But on paper Manchester City is ahead, they probably won't lose points again in this match, meanwhile Tottenham are also not in good performance. I agree with you that Manchester City will win in this match, win probability is also high in statistics but I hope both team can to score.

The odds for Manchester City are really low considering their recent form which has not been consistent at all and they have not won the majority of their games,even the games that they have won they barely won them by a goal difference.I am not saying that Tottenham is in a good form either but giving Manchester City less than 1.40 is not a good option either.The bookies are heavily favoring Manchester City in this time where they have not had that good results,maybe they are thinking that if City does not win this game it is truly bye bye for the Premier League but they should keep in mind that this type of game can also impact them psychologically if they don't score early in the game,so this is a double edged sword.

These late winners are huge boost for big clubs. A lot of the time they found a way to score and pressure comes with results. Valencia did that today for Fenerbahçe. He's a top striker, 15 league goals in 15 games, 1 per game, great statistics. Scoring a winner in extra time is more precious of course.
Fenerbahçe could've lost two points today. I'm sure Galatasaray fans were devastated. They almost got whole psychological advantage. Still a long way to go though.

It is a great boost for Fenebahce morale yes but the problem is that Galatasaray is leading the way with 4 points advantage and this year they look like they have found the missing consistency of the other years.I think that it will be a difficult battle for both teams as 4 points are nothing,the team which will be more consistent and will not look to the result of the other team but will try to win every game most likely will be Superlig Champions during this season.The Superlig will be played between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce,the other teams are a bit left behind and I don't think there is enough room left for them to change things around considering the form of the two teams at the top of the standings.

I only set a bankroll to play and that is the maximum I will spend on gambling for the week,usually 50-100 or max of 200 dollars.I have been a slot addict and I can proudly say that I am not an addict anymore,I have the courage to quit when I see that loses keep hitting me.I play sport betting now,it is easy to check here as you see your balance grow or shrink based on your performance.

I think in sport betting is much easier to keep track of the lost amounts but in slot machines is much more difficult,you need to continuously update an excel sheet to keep track of your lost amounts and I think this would be the best thing to do to keep track of our lost amounts,we can add deposits and withdraws there and it is easy to see the difference which in turn would be our profit or lost amount.

If you follow your emotions then there is no real escape,you will lose continuously money as emotions do not make us see the reality but show us a distorted one,the one we want to see.

Another round, another bad result on Superbru. The table has been turned which I slip to 5th and have 11 points gap with the 1st position Embarrassed Apart from this, finally I can see the yellow cap winner won the entire games of previous round, with 4 exact and 5 close scores! There are two remaining games indeed but those games are not originally played on round 20. Congrats Hhampuz!

Now is that critical time in which if you want to be the winner or be at least in the top 10 you should not have bad results.I was having bad rounds myself but compared to last time around where I was and where I am now I think I see positive vibes only,I think if I manage to keep up with this kind of results like being an average or somewhat better than most of people in the pool,having this consistency will make me hopefully to be in the top 22 people in the end of tournament.Last time around I was really mad at myself as I came up 12 while only 2 mere points divided me from that 10th place and the final prize,I hope this year to win a prize.

I think based on the names there it won't be that difficult for Real Madrid to win this FIFA Club World Cup this time,the only difficult team if I can call it like that maybe is Flamengo but they did not excel in their Brazilian Serie A if I recall correctly.All other teams like Seattle from the USA,Al Ahly from Egypt and the others I think are no match for Real Madrid.

I think that they don't need to be that extra motivated,the team difference in quality with all other team is big and the only one as I said who can give Real problems is Flamengo,nevertheless I am not expecting them also to not be a big deal for Real Madrid,if Real Madrid does not win this it would be a real shame for them.

Today I think Empoli is going to win or at least draw against Sampdoria,a Sampdoria side that has only scored 8 goals during this whole season is a big red flag that shows that the team needs changes,a lot of them in order to fight back and to not be relegated.Lately Empoli has made some good games but it is there near Sampdoria in standings,the reason I think Empoli will win is because if they don't win against Sampdoria then against who will win in order to save themselves from relegation.Maybe I add a second bet as draw no bet for Empoli as the odd is still good at 1.52 in most providers.
