I think the best game for the 26th December games is absolutely Leicester vs Newcastle United.I think and I believe in a win from Newcastle as they have been top performers during the last games of the league and they even beat Chelsea 1-0 if I remember correctly.The odd of over 2.2 is very inviting for me and I am going to bet on them because I don't think Leicester will be able to resist that long in a season where they have been doing pretty badly overall,so while I am sure all other people are going to bet on City and Arsenal I prefer to bet on this game.

I don't think that is true,he is just trying to find an argument to save himself.I recently saw an article with him being escorted by the FBI and he was keeping a not so small bag with his belongings and I agree with most comments in that article that were pointing,that bag is good enough for him to have his USB with his private keys,who knows how this story turn out in the future but what is sure is that most probably he didn't gamble and even if he gambled surely he has not used all the funds,he is trying to build an alibi but that won't work.

Is the requirement of KYC from online casino the reason that gives birth to online casino getting regulated? I mean in the past there is no regulation thing pointed to online casino but now all eye are on them for a must regulation if they want to keep their platform alive and functioning.

I think that this has been a requirement in FIAT casinos long before now,especially in the big FIAT ones like bet365 if you didn't verify yourself you would only play with limited amount of money which if I remember correctly it was 500 EUR as that is an amount which is not prone to money laundering because it is a small one.

In crypto I think they operate the same now as it is a requirement this KYC,so they let you withdraw up to a certain amount without KYC but if you keep playing regularly with bigger amounts you need to be verified in order for the withdraws to pass,so no one is to blame.
5224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Will you buy more ETH after reading this ? on: December 23, 2022, 09:57:10 PM
I stopped supporting ETH and not going to buy any amount no matter how small of it since the moment it went to PoS from PoW which was from mineable to non mineable.What I agree in the first post of this thread is that ETH was once 1.01 and right now we have two alternatives that are battling to get ETH place,ETHW a project by some anonymous miners and ETF-EthereumFair another project claiming to go and make use of the old ETH chain and also to keep being mineable.

That is what I do now since I missed the boat in 2016 when ETH was really low in price and easy to mine,I am mining these two coins now and hope for a similar future in price to the original ETH,I know I am going to be a rich man if history repeats itself with these coins.

I would not be so happy about CEX and I don't recommend them at all,their support was really idiots,sorry to say that but that is the minimum,they kept asking me proofs of my source of funds and I gave them everything yet they came up with an answer where is your email of your Bitcoin wallet while I told them I was using Electrum and Exodus which do not need any email,that is the level of stupidity of those guys there,luckily they released all my funds before locking my account because of them not being competent at all in the matter of crypto.

And another reminder because I had a thread sometimes ago for them in Service Discussion section of the forum,after the FTX drama and even before it happened I advised anyone to get their coins out of the centralized exchanges,one of which is Cex.io.

I was so hopeful to see Norris taking Hamilton's seat after Hamilton's retirement announcement in the future. However I must admit that I was very surprised to hear about Mick's arrival at Mercedes as the third driver. I would rather seeing him at Ferrari for taking a seat normally. In memory of Michael Schumacher, it would have been great to see Mick driving for Ferrari. Who knows maybe we might still see this happening in the future. But to pave the way for him, Sainz needs to leave.

In the end, Leclerc would be with Ferrari for long years. But Sainz's position is not very guaranteed now. He needs to do better next season.

I don't think that Sainz did that well,he also won his first race and in the last few races of the season he was driving normally,I think the duo at Ferrari will stay for longer and that is why most probably Mick decided to go to Mercedes as a third driver because he sees more chances there to drive for a winning team than in Ferrari.

I am afraid we are not going to see him drive the same car his father did but I am happy for such move because it means he will drive for a Mercedes which lately has been doing much better than Ferrari,so can't wait to see him drive for Mercedes.

That 7th point of the second post of you man in this thread,that is the most brilliant of all points,Argentina had won their 1986 cup after having been in the final in 1978 and now Argentina won the 2022 world cup after having been in the final in 2014 and they were near winning it there too but luck which is the most determining factor in such events was not with Argentina.

I think that they also lost in 1990,the first final I saw as a 6 year old kid with Maradona losing to a Klinsman penalty against Germany and I cried a lot at that time because even me being not in South America at that time,everybody was talking about Maradona so I was already a fan of Argentina.It is sad how Maradona could not live to see this title but that is life.
5228  Other / Off-topic / Re: Has your budget for gambling been affected by the festive season? on: December 23, 2022, 05:13:42 PM
It is the festive season, and it comes with a lot of expenses, both planned and unplanned. The planned expenses are usually higher than normal because marketers take advantage of the season and increase the prices of their commodities and you spend more that usually budget. The unplanned in this season is that you may have some visitors either family or friends and will have to spend some more money entertaining them. For people who have a strict budget for gambling, I would like to know if your budget for gambling has reduced, or if it remains the same?

For me it remains the same,I have it fixed,predetermined and I don't use it for other purposes even in the festivities season.Usually here where I am people notify before coming so I can act accordingly,i.e withdrawing more money from the bank or topping up my credit card.I love the day I have setup for gambling which is Wednesday and usually at late night when I am alone as I don't want distractions around me,I want to be fully focused in enjoying the slot machine I am playing,if I hit it big great,if not still great but what I want above anything else is to enjoy the session so I never spend my gambling budget for something else.

There is no need to use a VPN if your country is allowed in the ToS of the casino you want to play.Even in countries that ban casinos they ban them on the basis of the word "bet" in their URL,so as long as the casino you may want to play do not has part that term as their URL for example "stake.com" and your country is allowed to be part of them,then there is absolutely no reason why to use VPN-s at all.

Some casinos allow VPN-s only from countries which are not allowed to play in their website because the license the casino has does not allow the specific country to be part of that,that is the only case when using a VPN is advisable,in all other cases it does not make any sense for me.
5230  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 23, 2022, 03:01:57 PM
Will you prefer a Saudi, an Englishman, or an American?
will you prefer a Saudi, an English man or American for the job?

I know it's not a question to me but...

...as a non-native supporter, but I hope as a sincere supporter, I've never seen nationality as a prerequisite -- we've had plenty of spiritual Scousers over the years (even poor Benitez, who made the city his home and the attention of his life work). King Dalglish is another prime example, as is Klopp -- true Scousers the Kop hail as their own... never mind the "mini-Scousers" like even Tsimikas and Naby lad show it's never where you come from, but where you put your heart.

That's always applied to players, always applied to managers, and while no Liverpool supporter might ever bestow the same admiration for their owners, they might at least afford the same spirit of respect.

So there's a difference not in who the owners are but how the money comes and what motivations back it. Is the club going to be a play thing for champagne parties like Abramovich? Is it just a trophy wife to brag about at dinners like Venky's when they first bought Blackburn Rovers and aired their players eating fried chicken?

So that's oil money and franchise money from overseas. But do Englishmen fare better? Ask Newcastle about Mike Ashley, who treated talents like Keegan like crap and appointed his own mates to manage the club (not to mention all the tacky stuff he did for his actual business while allowing his club to get relegated, for example renaming St James Park to... Sports Direct Arena). Oil money bought Newcastle but they seem to be learning a lot of lessons... and it doesn't yet appear they're going to treat the club like a toy. Time will tell.

Even in the country where I am whenever things do not go well for a certain top team,all the supporters immediately point the finger toward the manager when he is a non native but history has shown just like in Liverpool that native coaches did not bode that well compared to their non native counterparts.

I think that it does not mean anything if the man is Saudi,English or American as long as he can bring Liverpool back on track to their glorious days,once this man no matter what nationality has it means that nationality is not at all relevant.
5231  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Friends and Family members want me to invest for them, help! on: December 23, 2022, 02:27:54 PM
In my country up to 7 people I knew very well ( friends and family ) want me to help them invest money in crypto, after telling them the risk involved and how it will be better if they learn themselves they turn the idea down..

Now they want me to invest their own money on coins and they aren't ready to choose the coins they will like themselves.

After thinking this through and through I started feeling like they are doing this to hold me responsible if something goes wrong.

Is my thoughts right? If you are in my shoes what will you do?

You can demonstrate to them,like a demo of buying each coin they want,buying just one of each of the coins if they ask for new coins which are cheap.After that you tell them the resources where to learn about crypto and you can point them firstly at this very forum for them to read different threads regarding their investments,they will get a rough idea.You can also point them to other sources which can give them a general idea of how cryptocurrencies work.

I also think based on your description that they want to point the blame to you if something goes wrong so you only take the responsibility of teaching them and then leave them to choose what they think is good for them.

Good morning everyone, I'll explain my situation, I have 2 l3+ and 1 innosilicon a6 purchased as non-functional where I managed to get it to go with only 3 boards, including 1 dancer, sometimes it goes sometimes not, so it makes me stable 330mh and at strokes 480/500.
Since I practically didn't pay him, I thought I'd direct him to a doge solo-mining pool. Do you think with so few MH/s will it ever be able to catch a block?? or should I keep it undermining a pool as I have done so far? Thank you in advance.

I don't think that amount will be able to bring you 10.000 Doge as that is the reward for a block because the difficulty of Dogecoin is to high right now and with only 330 Mhsh I think it will not be possible to get a block so easily.The only device which would have somewhat slight chances is L7+ that 9.5 Ghsh power efficiency,however I advice you continue milking your devices as that is the best you can do,get small amount of Doge coins every day and add up to your wallet.

thousands of dollars of gpu extracting pennies. it is not advisable to keep them on even at 0 cost.

Better to keep or sell the hardware.

You can mine coins with low difficulty like ETHW and ETF from the Ethash algorithm or other new emerging coins,these maybe considered a gamble right now but I am confident in the future it can be a life changing event if these coins go x100 or more in price than the actual price they have now.

I know many people will say buy the coins but like I have always contradict that I will still do as it is much better to mine the coins as you are daily exposed to the market rather than buying the coins and occasionally see what is going on in the market,I know from personal experience that when I am mining I check daily what is going on and in the rare,very rare cases I bought coins I did not get that interested in what was happening as often as I do in mining,that is why for me is better to mine the coins.
5234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: K1 Pool not finding an ETF on: December 23, 2022, 12:21:39 PM
I recommend you use miningpoolstats and not google.
For ethereumfair, I would choose ezil.me, I like its interface
https://miningpoolstats.stream/ethereumfair
But if you mine in the long term, then it is better to choose a large pool, because the profit will be the same. And I would not pay attention to daily changes in profit.

I also liked ezil.me before when I used to dual mine it with Ziliqa,however I am still staying with K1 pool as long as the daily profit here is almost the same like other pools and lately they have also implemented dual mining ETF+ZIL automatically,I just need to add my wallet there in the pool interface,maybe is a bit more complicated than doing it all yourself but so far I am mining until I make like 50-100 ETF then I will be back to ETHW,who knows what happens after a couple of years,I may be a very rich person by then  Grin.

I mine ETHW at 2miners and only mine ETF here in this pool only because 2miners have not yet an ETF pool.
5235  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why every casino got bad habits? on: December 23, 2022, 12:02:56 PM
It will just depend on how they will address their players and potential players concern to establish a great reputation that could be trusted.
If a casino has a bad review, we know the extent of their bad habit if the bad review is unaddressed and more persons still having the same complaints that caused the bad review. It is not abnormal for a casino to have a bad review. If a casino is sharp and delligent addressing a negative review, it can turn the situation around in their favour as the person who gave the review will be happy about their response, more persons will know that the casino is committed to becoming better even with the bad reviews it has gotten from a few customers.
We are bound to see bad reviews for one casino especially if it creates an ANN on this forum so we can rate it too and don't have to try to visit the site, let alone deposit money there. Every casino will have bad reviews, but casinos are bound to have good reviews too. And if there are more good reviews than bad reviews, we can make that casino a place to play gambling because we won't have any bad experiences there. A good casino will always keep its place by providing good service; if a member has a problem, they will be ready to help.
It's not that simple. I can give you an example of 1xBit casino on this forum. All participants have a red trust and a terrible reputation. Probably every member of the forum knows that it is a scam. But when I went to a popular site Blockchair.com, I saw 1xBit ads there. That is, the reputation on the forum and advertising on such a popular site contradict each other. And it seems to me that many visitors to Blockchair.com don't know about the bad reputation on Bitcointalk.
It's because the casino is promoting outside of Bitcointalk while people looking for a casino don't visit this forum looking for honest ratings from the members here, causing them to choose the wrong casino. We can't do anything about it if they end up sticking with such casinos because they don't seek an honest assessment of anywhere else before they choose one. If they can use these forums as their main reference for finding the right casino, they won't get in trouble with the casinos unless they are the ones causing the problems with the casinos.

That is the truth.I think someone should do a great SEO regarding such ANN threads that we have here in order for people to not fall victims by searching google and getting maybe a wrong answer from that.I think now that we have the new revolution ChatGPT which is great at content writing we should "train" it to give users only good answers and by listing only casinos with positive feedback and reviews from this very source,our forum here.I know we just need only a bit more time and I am sure scamming casinos will easily cease to exist then,I believe a lot in this AI regarding this matter.
5236  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: December 23, 2022, 10:13:47 AM
Isn't it going to be in the league's and champions league best interest for Man City and Liverpool not to lose this early into their domestic cups ?

Probably, yeah. And we paid dearly for playing every possible match last season -- but EFL's always been only really taxing on our squad on the finals (and not fully even then). Salah started, as did a few other stalwarts but they're probably playing for match fitness in this game more than anything else. Both sides have their deputy keepers.

Salah 15th goal of the season and first in EFL cup according to commentator, that took me by surprise haha), not bad.

It's probably a blessing in disguise for Liverpool have lot the EFL game vs City, but Liverpool didn't even look bad either to have came from behind twice, but I'm not surprised though, as bad as Liverpool have been this season, they've defeated Liverpool twice, so I could pursue my little theory of Liverpool intentionally letting them win this so that Liverpool could less on their plate to handle as the season goes by, I believed Liverpool paid the price for participation in all multiple competitions until the last days, unlike Liverpool, Man City have a better squad depth that could carry them in multiple fronts of all competition, although preparing for that much competition also have its effects on a manager, and all it takes is one wrong game and certain competitions are over, I really can't have Guardiola focused on just the league, that'd be terrible for the sake of competition, imho.

I think that Liverpool the maximum it can do is to fight for the Champions League to go as further as possible because as bad as they may be,elimination stage there is just 2 games and any team can play really well in just these two games that will decide their fate in the competition.

In Premier League I think right now they will fight to go back in the top 4 teams which would secure them a place in the Champions League for the next season,this season in Premier League is lost by them as they have already made to many mistakes.
5237  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Casino bonus is it worth it? on: December 23, 2022, 09:37:31 AM
It depends on the bonus actually. The bonus that I like the most is the reload or the ones that have been given per 15 days and per month because they don't usually have a wagering requirements but the amount of bonus that you can get might depend on your past performance. If you are active in depositing and playing then the bonus that you will get are slightly higher than usual.

Those free spins, free bets, deposit bonus and welcome bonus, do usually have a wagering requirement which is hard to achieve but there might be some gamblers who will take the risk and there will always be someone who will get lucky to claim the bonus successfully.

Bonus is meant to just give gamblers something back for their loses so even losers feel some consolation prize as that is what the bonus like the weekly,reload and monthly bonus do,they measure the past performance of the gambler during the past weeks and month and based on that they give you a certain amount to spend,this can prove pivotal in some cases as maybe just because of such bonuses the player may hit the jackpot in the slot machines or play it to win a big parlay so they are very important part of the experience that the casino give to their gamblers.

I think the minimum bet on freebitcoin is 5k satoshi it turns out that you can bet that small, maybe I missed a lot of things about the minimum bet amount there, I never thought I would try to bet with small bets like that too because it doesn't give a pleasant profit, lol  Grin
Although I have never bet such tiny amounts myself, I don't think there is a minimum bet amount on freebitco.in. At least I don't remember reading anything about it. Perhaps TheQuin can answer this more precisely?
yes i saw also on the sports betting page on freebitcoin its already available for english league matches and they have started it, maybe i will try to start betting there in small amounts in some matches just to do a test, at least i can win matches to earn some satoshi  Wink
The earliest game is in about 4 days, that should be obvious that it is going to be wagered a ton because we haven't been able to gamble on the leagues for a while now and people who couldn't gamble into many games, will want to do that. I am not saying that people didn't wager on the world cup, but first it wasn't as many people if you ask me, and secondly the options were limited for a while, it was a total of 64 games, and for the past 10 days or so there has been only a few games.

With this, we are going to have plenty of games to wager all over again and it will be quite a lot more fun to wager on more games to have more fun.

When there are a lot of games daily like the Premier League it is only natural that people will wager a lot more than they did in the World Cup.In the World Cup the people momentum of betting was stopped after we saw so many surprise results during this World Cup,in fact it was the World Cup with the highest number of surprise results so far.

In Premier League of course the odds will be better as there are much team differences in quality and most probably this was also a reason why people did not bet that much on World Cup,we did not have the best odds.
5239  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 22, 2022, 02:51:55 PM
Indeed, PSG has the most expensive and best lineup of players right now. Even better than Real Madrid. But PSG regularly fail to qualify for the Champions League finals. Probably because they have no serious rivals in Ligue 1 and their level of play is much higher. But it's hard for them to compete in the Champions League with Madrid or Bayern. I hope Mbappe will play in the Champions League final this season as he did in the World Cup.
PSG still difficult to get Champion League tittle every season although have builded their line up dominance by star player. But PSG keep favorite team for Ligue 1 tittle every season and not any team can compete ti make PSG difficult with domestic league.

Talking about PSG chance in Champion League seems not easy in this season because face Bayern Munich at 16 round. Looking Bayern dominance in group stage and became the only one team in Champion League this season have impressive record with 100% winning. I don't sure with PSG player can beat Bayern Munich in Champion League roumd 16 although their player have impressibe performance in World Cup where Lionel Messi success made his country become the winner.

PSG has star players like Mbappe and Messi and most probably they during group stage have not given 100% as they didn't need to do so,now it is a direct elimination clash so most likely they will give their 101% in order to help their team to qualify further.

I know with Bayern Munchen it can never be an easy task but if they want to win the Champions League which is their primary objective from many years they need to beat Bayern Munchen otherwise this will also be called a failed season because in Ligue 1 they are sure Champions.

Since Lewandowski's arrival at Camp Nou, Depay has rarely had minutes to play, so it's only natural that he hasn't contributed much to Barcelona which has made his market value also drop, but as an option to replace Lewandowski he's still quite good. But on the other hand, there is still no suitable replacement for Lewandowski's role, but the play-off round is still a long time away. We still don't know what will happen, let's just wait.
Robert Lewandowski have impressive performance with Barcelona and success become top scorer awhile with 13 goals in La Liga, I don't think Depay have chance to replace position from Lewandowski after biggest contribution until 14 matches. Still can't guarantee with Depay get regular position in Europe League trough Barcelona have important match in play off round against Manchester United, I think although success qualify to next round seems difficult for Depay get position in starting eleven.

Barcelona still have life and die match against Manchester United in play off round, due World Cup over and several player need recovery I don't think which one have favorite can win in this play off round match, but Manchester United have show with good performance after winning from Burnley at EFL Cup last night.

I think Barcelona will win against Manchester United and now that Cristiano left for the stubbornness of Ten Haag,the coach who wanted to make himself famous by not making Cristiano play (but history will remember Cristiano and no one will remember Ten Haag) is not going to be a big threat to Barcelona now,their attack lacks compared to that of Barcelona which has Lewandowski which is a true goal machine.

Manchester winning against Burnley does not show anything good from them as Burnley plays a category below Premier League and despite leading that category it has conceded goals in most of their games.Now I can bet easily on Barcelona to qualify further and I am sure I will win my bet.
