Since the Candidates Tournament has already ended, but it is not yet known whether Magnus will take part in the title match, I propose a new vote with the same question )
So far, I have not seen betting options on this topic anywhere, but if someone sees it, please give a link here in the thread. I think that some bookmakers can take bets on this event.
This is a very slow thread -shows that a very few people now have interest in chess. However I have heard that Jews are very particular about teaching their kids chess - because that makes their mind very active and strong and along side they are very good in calculations and mathematics. Are you in a hurry somewhere? Chess remains one of the most popular games among all age groups and is also suitable for betting (see previous topic). If for some reason you are not interested, you can pass by. However, I understand why you write your messages and I regret that I did not make this topic self-moderated. |

I agree that using VPNs for large sums of money when gambling is very risky. If the casinos find it out (what they mostly likely will if you gamble there long enough) then all your money and winnings are lost. For me the risk is too high and I would rather use a casino that is allowed in my country than a VPN. The digital ID could be a way to get rid of the KYC processes many casinos require us to do and standardize the registration at casinos. When it comes to showing a digital ID to a casino to verify yourself it sounds like a good idea that can prevent misuse in the future. This would also take some of the negative press out of gambling that it is being used to launder money by some criminals. The big problem with digital IDs is how the data is being stored and who can access it. I think that most gamblers are affraid of identify theft when it comes to sharing all the personal information online.
I wonder how you can use a casino without KYC for money laundering? The criminal cannot say to the tax office "I won this money at the casino" because he will not have evidence (there is no KYC). But on the other hand, he can easily launder money in a casino with KYC - in one casino he bets on one tennis player, in another on his opponent, and in the end he gets clean money. It turns out that just those casinos that require KYC help in money laundering. |

Germany vs Spain both of teams had good results on their first match that Germany won 4-0 from Denmark and Spain won 4-1 from Finland and they are the favourite in group B so i assuming they were equally strong and i think this match will be so tight because whoever the winner of this match will open their chance went to quarterfinal and at the bookmakers Spain slightly favourite but i would like to pick something different because on my predictions final score will be slim so i will try bet for total goals and seems under 2.5 is good with the Odds @1.61
It seems to me that this is a dangerous bet, since in a match between themselves these teams can repeat high performance. Although probably if the bookmakers give such odds, then this forecast has a good justification. In general, it is a pity that this tournament has such a small news coverage - I found out about it literally here on the forum. I'm not a fan of women's football but it always makes sense to watch a competition of such high status. |

Pacquiao is a boxing legend and I think a lot of his fans would love to even see him hitting a punching bag. Therefore, it is natural that this exhibition fight will attract a lot of attention from all boxing fans, even despite its status (I doubt that we will see something interesting in a sporting sense).
By the way, I would like to know how this YouTuber was able to achieve such a fight - he only has 645,000 subscribers, which is extremely small even for a country like Korea.

52% of the people also selected Casual Social Gamblers in the voting options, which shows that people aren't serious about making money with gambling. I don't know if they have selected the correct option as most of the gamblers want to make money from gambling and they are not for fun/entertainment only.
For all those who have selected "Casual Social Gamblers", I want to ask them a question. Do you feel relaxed even if you lose in gambling? If not, then you do not fall in this category.
Does gambling for fun (and not for money) suggest indifference? It seems to me that no. Obviously if you win it gives you positive emotions and when you lose you get upset. These emotional swings give the final relaxation, everything seems logical to me. Therefore, those who chose this answer are correct even if they are disappointed by losing a bet or two. |

Recently someone in our country just won a whopping 401Million Pesos(7+Million dollars) from our 6/55 Grand Lotto and another Winner of 5.9Million Pesos(105k Dollars) from our 6/42 Lotto draw. I am happy for these two winners but I am a little worried since the Lotto Organizer mentioned what city they are from. I hope that the Lotto organizer never mentions their names since these people who just had a life-changing experience could be in danger if they ever revealed their names. here's the link if you are curious about the article https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1178611On the one hand, the anonymity of the winners is a really good option for them in terms of security, but on the other hand, there are many additional questions. Firstly, how can you be sure that the draw was fair and the organizers really gave the prize to someone (or did not give it to their relative)? Secondly, what is the situation in the country that a person should hide his wealth? If everything is so bad, then after receiving the money, it would be reasonable to simply leave for another country where the police work better. |

There is definitely a difference when a player plays for a club and when a player plays for his country, and in matches and meetings the players are closer, and also play more in the club than the national team. And also can make a solid team and also understand each other's game.
and what i see with Messi when he plays for club and country has differences like lack of enthusiasm and also not good unlike at his club due to some factors, limited meetings and training and also there must be some players who are weak and this must be experienced by all country. In contrast to players who have the spirit of nationalism they will continue to play very well and defend their country.
Much depends on the status of the tournament. As the Nations Cup has shown, even star teams like France or England can act like they don't care at all about the outcome of games if the tournament isn't important. As for Messi, in the last year in the national team, he looked better than in the club. Perhaps the environment (Barcelona) played a key role in his achievements. But football is a team game, so one cannot be completely sure of such conclusions. |

This is why casinos are the most profitable industry, many people are not playing to win, they all know that there is a house edge and they will eventually lose but based on the study, people are buying entertainment.
-skip-
Quite right. It is surprising that for many people this is some kind of discovery. This is probably due to the fact that the stories that we hear about gambling are mostly high-profile incidents like "the gambler lost his salary for 10 years and fled the country." Similarly, stories about people with gambling addiction who find themselves in various problematic situations. But 99.99% of the cases where a person just went to the casino, just spent $100 in exchange for entertainment, and just returned home do not attract our attention. |

^ Didn't realise somehow it was always closer before, but I never thought anything below 3/1 was good value for race winner, much less odds half of that! Already have a good start with the Dutch in pole, but very interesting to see all the favourites more or less in the right grid position. Race starts pretty soon, happy Sunday!
Last time the odds were no less absurd: I'm surprised that Russell, after free practice, still lost qualification to Hamilton. However, they will both be behind the leaders, so the race can change everything. Pretty interesting bookmaker quotes in my opinion:
Verstappen, Max - 1.66
Leclerc, Charles - 4.75
Sainz Jr., Carlos - 5.35
Hamilton, Lewis - 12.60
Perez, Sergio - 18.60
Russell, George - 29.60
Ferrari despite winning the qualification is greatly underestimated.
Sainz who won the pole (and finally the race) was quoted as 5.35! And Verstappen as 1.66. Therefore, today's chances are a little closer to reality, given that this time Verstappen will start from first place. But I agree that it makes no sense to bet on such a ridiculous odds, since, apart from other riders, technical problems and accidents can interfere with the distribution of places. |

It will be better if we have the title as how to be responsible instead of professional because those listed points are not defining anything about becoming a pro. Anyway gambling comes with risk of losing your money so if anyone thinks that they can out smart the reality then they will face the financial losses later.
Gamble for fun, don't get obsession with it, that is the simplest thumb rule should be followed by everyone.
Responsibility is to some extent equal to professionalism, since a professional will never take risks beyond measure or play with other people's money without warning those whose money it is about possible risks. Another question is that we know for sure that responsible players exist, but are there professional players who profit from gambling? From the point of view of mathematics, they should not exist, and those players who play a lot and are still in the black are either a fluctuation or earn not on gambling, but on something related. |

Shit.
My result from the quiz "High-Risk Gambler", damn never thought gonna get this result. To be honest, while doing gambling on win streak with a big money my bet size increases too.
Last time my crazy thing, betting 500-1000$ with win streak 25,000$ on Stake. Lukcy never get a huge debt from gambling.
I think this test was made by someone who has a huge prejudice towards gambling. The only chance of not falling into any risk category is to answer "never" everywhere. But this is complete nonsense, since many people treat gambling as entertainment and do not even feel any sense of excitement, for example, they simply bet on their favorite team to support it. |

This is really bad bro, I feel bad for his family who has nothing to do with his selfishness. That's why this community always warned users to play only with the money they can afford to lose because when something like this happened, there's nothing you can do but run and hide because it is really impossible to pay all of that money in just a short time because it will take years for that money to earn and it only took a whole night for it to lose for the one who doesn't care for their families.
In general, it is quite surprising that an adult (since he has a family and colleagues) was not aware of the dangers of gambling and so stupidly lost all the money. And I would also note that it is unclear why the OP warns about the dangers of slots - in fact they are no different from other gambling games. |

-skip- Some casinos have their own "original" games ....and they determine the RTP for those games. The RTP is better for the players on the original games, because the casino does not have to share the profits with a 3rd party provider.  An interesting point of view. But is this speculation or fact? In my opinion, the casino can be greedy and set an RTP in their original game that will be even higher than in the game provided by the game providers. Well, or set an RTP that will not differ from the final RTP of the game from the provider (provider's share + casino's share). |

The story sucks to be honest. First of all because of the percentage you mention, but is there that much difference between $5,000 and $27,000? If he had said that $5,000 got him $500,000, it would seem to me to be a considerable difference.
And besides, it was the only way he could get that $22,000 difference? I don't know, maybe taking a loan to invest in his company would have made more sense.
Maybe the meaning of the story is that he took a risk in the casino and won, it gave him the courage to continue to take risks in business - instead of a reliable bankruptcy after which he would still have a lot of capital, he decided to keep the business to the very end and eventually won the jackpot. In general, it is rather silly to confuse gambling with business, but sometimes such comparisons really make sense because in business there are many external factors that are beyond our control and can be perceived as random. |

I am like a fan boy with that gambling on smartwatches. That's making a gambler on the road like a person from the Matrix.  Are you a fan of smartwatch because you want to be using it to gamble on the raod while going somewhere? Do not make that mistake, concentrate on where you are going because of accident not to happen, even if you are trekking, it is not advisable to gamble on the road. Good advice. Personally, I don’t even understand those who wear headphones and listen to music instead of being attentive and listening to what is happening around. In my opinion, this is dangerous since we may not hear the signal of the car or someone shouting. In the case of gambling, everything is no less dangerous - this is a gambling activity and it attracts all attention, I would not be surprised if a person completely focused in gambling gets into some kind of unpleasant story because he will be completely distracted from the real world. |

I have participated in many debates on various forums and on Twitter, so I would not say that this behavior is typical for gamblers. I think this is common to all people, but only a few have the necessary intellectual resource to overcome this stupid pattern, and most do not. On the other hand, maybe they initially treat conversations as entertainment, so they give a splash of emotions (and then I'm wrong about them haha).
At the end of the day - most of the gamblers say to themselves - today was not our day. Or I wish we. have not gambled today. The pain of loosing in gambling is the worse of all pain. When you bet with your own hand and give away money with your own hand. To come up with excuses or some kind of formulation is a common desire to calm oneself. Unfortunately, in the modern world, money is the equivalent of almost everything, so if you lose a significant amount, then this can really be a tragedy. But this is a risk that can be managed (unlike, for example, the risk of being struck by lightning), so the one who decided to take a risk and lost should only blame himself. |

So I was travelling to Switzerland and decided to browse for the best paying casinos, these are the few that I found: 1. Casino777 2. 7Melons 3. Jackpots The site that I referred to is here : https://www.casino.org/payouts/ Now the question is: ' Even though most casinos are probably fair how come some casinos have a better payout scale?' I do understand that the machines in most casinos have to work according to the requirements met by the country or the state but at the same time they also have to make the payouts profitable since no government will ask them to manage how much money they be giving their players. So is it highly personal ? I would like to encourage you all to research regarding the best payouts from the casinos near you. - Have you ever considered researching about payouts before playing? I know that in some countries casino payouts are regulated by law (there is a certain minimum value below which the casino is not allowed to fall), but I cannot give any advice since I play online all the time. If I want to play the game with the maximum payout, then I will choose dice - on almost every platform, the payout is 99% (the house edge is 1%). But mostly I make sports bets, although there the house edge is usually 5-6%. |
