Not sure where you are getting your information from but this wrong. Just because we are getting new PC parts every year doesn't mean you have to buy them. A PC easily works for many years, you don't need a CPU or GPU every other year. If you look at all full PC setup in general you
see that prices are declining. At the moment you are getting a Full PC Setup with Monitor for less than 300€ easily. How can you argue that prices are not dropping?

And Energy prices are inflating? Wrong

Glückwunsch SiNeReiNZzz, du hast echt ein gutes Händchen bei den Gewinnspielen hier 

Schöne Woche und viel Glück allen beim nächsten Spiel.

I think in the most cases when the fees are high, than the transaction should be processed pretty quickly. But if the transaction gets stuck somehow and the time is pressing, I would try to pay an even higher fee just to get it through. Like in your example above, if there is a nice match I want to bet own and I am pretty sure of winning then it should be no problem to pay a bit higher fee. Because my winnings should easily offset these fees. If the fees are higher than my winnings, than of course it's not worth it.

I used to do meditating before big exams during university. It definitely helped to reduce stress in my oponuin
Unfortunately I stopped doing it dir years now. To relief stress these days I mostly count on sports, like riding bicycle. Now in winter it gets a bit harder with outdoor sports so I switched to reading some history books.

Honestly I didn't expect a second lock down to happen, I thought the government's would try to. Hold off until next year to not further damage the economies. In Europe the corona relief find us still not ratified by the national parliaments. So there is a lot of money already missing where people are counting on it. The second lock down is going to make things worse, probably many of the small countries are not going to survive that.

I agree, the only real safe bet would be a fixed match, but that is illegal and brings in other forms of risk. What if people find out the match gets forfit? All the money could be seized by authorities from the bookmaker. In my opinion betting on fixed matches is too risky. Better to spread  out risk across multiple bets and get lucky.

I am also a NaVi fan, great team. They definitely have shot at this one. 2 maps should be possible if they don't choke again. Last time I lost some money with NaVi but I think I will go with them again.

Wearing a face mask and a face shield on top of each other sounds a bit extreme. But honestly what is so bad with wearing a mask? It hurts no one and could make a mask at home so don't even have to pay money for it. Imagine you can save 1 life by wearing a mask. Wouldn't it be worth it?

That is a very quote, I like it a lot. Attitudes can easily hinder us from doing things we would might enjoy. It is best for all of us to keep an open mind and try to avoid stereotypes. We shouldn't live our lifes like other people classify it for us.

It depends on how you look at thing. The inflation rate looks at the average expenditures of an average person. There is a basket of things which include a lot of different things. So comparing the inflation number from today against 50 or 100 years ago can be very misleading because we buy things today that weren't available in the past. Look at electronics like PCs and Mobile phones, it's very hard to compare these prices to the past but we see that electronics have been falling in prices a lot. Also the energy prices dropped severly in the last 10 years. So a rise in food prices is easily offset by other things, that is why the general inflation is so low.

These are mainly extreme gambling facts, with more than 1 in a million chance of happening. Most of us gamblers here, even if we are total gamblers, will never experience such extreme things. I think we as gambler can find such things entertaining, but should never use these as goals. It's only for a lucky few reserved. For me personally I am just aiming for a some average winnings in gambling, if I can get a vacation out of it one day would already be a start. It's most important to manage our expectations in gambling.

Nothing is wrong with FIAT, but the central banks see the rise in crypto currencies and want to profit off it. They are aware that they can't control all these coins online so they bring out there own coin. In my opinion the central bank crypto currencies are just another form of FIAT, they are another currency being controlled by the government. Time will tell but it doesn't seem likely that the usual crypto investors is going to switch from bitcoins into the central bank coins.

Thanks for the link. Haven't played on Betnomi yet, will sign up this weekend. Are they doing some freerolls regularly?

Yeah definitely, the satellites are great way to get into the bigger tournaments.

Nice to see you live in Twitch this weekend again. Good luck

I agree with you that it appears as has Huawei strong ties to the Chinese government. The Chinese communist party probably wants to boost the digital yuan. But I don't think that the average investors will fall for such plans. Just because sucha wallet is installed on the phone, doesn't really mean that all the mobile users are going to use the wallet. The main focus of the average crypto investors is in independence from governments and Fiat currencies in my opinion. It would be better for Huawei to use a well established crypto coin like bitcoins for their wallets.

In Europe we have now the second wave of corona being even more severe than the first one. It seems that many countries will have to do another lockdown, even though some countries don't call it lockdown anymore. But in the end travelling doesn't seem so good anymore for now. I had a long weekend planned in a spa hotel but cancelled due to the high corona cases. For the rest of the year I will not be travelling anymore I guess and just check out the area around my home town.

Why shouldn't bitcoins be at such decent prices? Many people use bitcoins as currency when buying products online, or just gamble. Almost all of the big casinos use bitcoins as a form to deposit or withdraw funds. I don't see any real reason why bitcoins should be not worth so much. In my opinion bitcoins are actually going to rise even higher next year.

Danke schon mal für das weitere Gewinnspiel.

Ich würde es nochmal mit der "0" probieren.

0 - Mauser


Schönes Wochenende

Congratulations Globbo, good to see you are still crushing the tournaments.

Didn't really have much time in the last week to play poker. Hopefully I am back for a few sitngo's tomorrow.

I wish I had the patience to sit through so many statellite tournaments like you 

When is the next forum poker tournament starting? I hope I can join that.

This very hard to do because most of us gambler tend to follow a strategy which usually requires us to keep playing when we lose. I think one I'd the most common strategies is a martingale approach that would require us to increase our bet everytime we lose. So in theory a big loss could just be recovered with one more bet. But of course this could be the downward spiral that makes us lose even more money. Personally I find myself starting with too large bets initially which makes recovering even more difficult when I have a bad beat.

I think now with winter approaching and the second corona wave recking havoc, we need to find different ways to support the people in need. If the government would step in to provide housing for the poor people that could definitely help. Also if the government continues to just give money to the big companies it's forgetting many other people. The government needs to do more for the little person.
