They say the calculator Luis Enrique with one stone killed two birds,he is avoiding a direct clash with Brazil and also put Germany out of the World Cup by not playing seriously against Japan.His calculations were only right because Germany is an honorable team as they had about 16 minutes with the additional time and they could have let Costa Rica win by getting out of the World Cup also Spain but Germany has a winning mentality and they did play honestly and did not do any calculation.

It is official now, Binotto is out the new leader will be announced not before the 2023.

What a day for Jonh Elkann, in 12 hours he changed the lead of Ferrari and Juventus, both societies under his holding, Exor.

I think he has great project managers to replace them and both to be superior to these guys being "fired" from John Elkann otherwise if he does not replace them with successful successors it will be a really grave mistake.I believe that he will bring the new managers to be much more competitive,of course without removing nothing to Binotto which still remains one of the great minds of engineering in the F1 circus but he had his time and unfortunately did not bring any new title to Ferrari so that is why I agree with this move,it is time for a new face being able to bring a winning car for real and not half the season which would consequently bring back a F1 title to Ferrari that is waiting from more than 15 years now.

Oh come on, Poland goes through after today's performance? They were horrible throughout the whole 90 minutes.

It is a shame that fair play can be the deciding factor in such situations, it pushed Mexico to go all in and concede that late goal.
Otherwise Poland would still go through, but only because they received less yellow cards than Mexico.

I recall that happening only once, last WC when Japan qualified based on that criteria ahead of Senegal.
This was totally undeserved for Poland, they never even thought to try and score a goal against Argentina, they can thank only Szczesny for their place in knockout stages. Saved a couple of almost certain goals and kept their goal difference good enough to push Mexico into overextending. While we are on Szczesny saves, he even saved a penalty by Messi and I must admit this was one of the strangest penalties I have ever seen awarded.

I agree,Argentina played with just football with one port and the only occasion Poland had was that header from the veteran player they had still playing in the national team,other than that they just totally parked the bus and this is a stupid thing to do against teams like Argentina.I think the hero of the game was their goalkeeper who gave them this truly undeserved qualification as Mexico showed much better game play and they scored the most magnificent goal so far of the whole tournament with that awesome free kick.

I wouldn't say it was undeserved for Poland to qualify for the next round simply because they didn't do well enough to posed just one goal threat against Argentina and it seemed they literally all out to only secure a draw, Mexico were not a different when they played Argentina as well, they literally just sat back too and tried to secure a draw which would have left Argentina in dire situation, I'd rather commend the Saudi Arabian team even though they lost the last two matches of the game, I'd say they were the only team of the other 3 besides Argentina to have a approached every game with the hope of getting something positive from it.

If the cases were reversed and it was Mexico playing Argentina last night, I strongly doubt they'd have done any better than Poland actually did, so If the game was unfair to any of the four teams, I'd say it was Saudi Arabia that got unlucky.

I agree about Saudi Arabia,their coach though which went viral with that motivation video after they were losing 1-0 to Argentina in the first game and after that speech they came in and overturn the situation in their favor 1-2,I must say their coach changed their mentality for the better.While they were always feeling inferior to any team they played in the World Cup they got and won against one of the strong contender for the title.I must say that the most unlucky game they had is exactly against Poland where they missed a penalty which could have changed the fate of that game.

With some luck BTC will pass the 17,500$ range indeed but it can be a support line so we might cross it and than people might take some profit again.

Almost made it. December bets going up right now so bet early for a high TWM.

I do not see December ranges yet, do you plan to keep them the same like it was in November?
Anyway, I think betting now is just like a lottery as it is very difficult to predict price move in 4 weeks. We may stay at 17k, we may go to 20k, we may go to 15k. Only FUN token price seems to be +- stable Smiley

It does not make sense to place a bet now as it is a complete unknown gamble,December is the month of the holidays and we don't know how the price of Bitcoin will behave.We had only two times where the price of Bitcoin was on the increase in December from the last 5 years and it was the first ATH in 2017 and last time around was in December 2020 where it started the huge increase in price we saw as 2 new ATH in the year of 2021.

It may pass the 17.500 range and move deeply into the upside of up to 27-30k then or it can go down south up to the 12k which is the lowest I predict for Bitcoin as a price.Better stock up satoshis for when x4 or x5 rewards day will be and use them there.

5446  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How would you rate VAR officiating in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. on: December 01, 2022, 07:11:20 AM
I would rate it really good considering that yesterday night in the Argentina game we would not have a penalty for them without VAR,many people maybe do not agree with that penalty but it was a clear penalty to me as the goalkeeper of Poland clearly hit Messi face and that for me is a foul.I think in many other occasions VAR has given penalties that otherwise would not have been given so overall until now I am liking VAR and before the World Cup started I did not expect to see such performance from the VAR,I was not expecting to be that good but this is just what I think.
5447  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My Unconventional Betting Strategy on: November 30, 2022, 02:04:06 PM
They say two good heads are better than one, I couldn't agree more. Here's a an unconventional betting strategy that me and my friends have come up with to bet on some of the world cup games. I totally love it because we have cashed out about $1000 since the games began. Also, it minimized the losses and everyone goes home happy.

The strategy -  We created one betting account with a local gambling site prior to the World Cup Games. We all contribute equal amount of money to fund the wallet. And using different analysis we place our bets on at least 3 of the world cup games every day.

For me it has a lot of advantages -

- it minimizes losses
- it reduces the chances of being addicted
- it helps to build bonding. We hang out. We watch the game and we have fun.
- We have a budget and we stick to it. It sorts of builds accountability.

Do you have a unconventional betting strategy that have been working for you? Do Share.

Looks great as you share the pain when you lose money and that is really the best advantage that you get from this "strategy".The second one is that the knowledge is better shared when two or more people discuss together before placing the bets and now with technology this is fairly easy to discuss through our chatting apps in our mobile phones if we cannot discuss it head to head.I never thought of such "strategy" before because in life I am always taught to be an individualist rather than doing team work,maybe not a good thing but that is who I am.I like this idea a lot though,I have no strategy to share as there are no real strategies in gambling,everybody does as much as they can to win money.
5448  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling techniques on: November 30, 2022, 12:58:14 PM
True that. As @South Park has pointed out below: "The only strategy that works on games that are completely luck based are money management strategies". I totally agree with this.

It depends on what meaning to invest in the word "works". If it's about making a profit (as most people mean when they talk about gambling strategies) then money management doesn't work. If it's about increasing the time of playing sessions or about avoiding the rapid loss of the entire deposit, then it works. And of course money management works in the sense that it is used to set a maximum gambling budget for example for a month/week in order to avoid uncontrollable losses.

That's right, and that's exactly what gambling should be used for: for entertainment and relaxation. Sports betting and poker, for instance, is almost like a job for some people. They are making money with it, but for relaxation they need some other activities. But slots, spinning slots can't be your job. If it is, you should go see a doctor.

So, slots, as they are purely luck-based, can't have any working strategies, with the exception of those helping you to not spend on your entertainment more than can actually afford.

Slots can really turn you into an addicted zombie in no time and I know this from first hand experience,I was such a zombie not caring about anything up until 2020 when I hit a big loss and decided with all my will to stop playing.Since then I play 50-100 dollars weekly and I call it a day won or lost session.

They are entertaining at the beginning but soon they become your worst nightmare and I never recommend anyone to play slots,in poker and sport betting you have somewhat much more control while in slot machines you just hit a spin button throwing yourself into total randomness which is programmed to make you lose money in the long run.

What a mega idiot im, im i so much competitions that i forget to put the picks in this one for the first two matchs of today.

I was in the kitchen eating and seeing the games and my brain says "do you put the picks in Superbru?", and was.... fuck. So i go to the pc and put all my selections.

To be honest i would put Ecuador 1 Senegal 1 so i cant lie i dont lose any point Tongue.

Im really back now in the pool, i need a boost.

I did the same, missed the 1st game of the 2nd round and the first 2 games of the 3rd round.
I was given default picks though - but they didn't do me much good.

Currently I'm 25th - which I'm not too happy with Grin

I also did the same but not forgetting to put my picks but choosing a draw 1-1 for Ecuador as the most logical result only to be surprised by the thousand time that the most logical result in a football game rarely happens yet I do not seem to learn my lesson.

I am currently 34th and happy about it considering how things are going we are all into play for a spot in the top ten as there are quite a lot of games ahead,I know many will try to find an alternate way and not go with the favorites in order to climb positions but I am staying with the favorites until the end,if I end up 10th I would be happy if I end up below I would again be happy as I enjoy the pool.
5450  Economy / Gambling / Re: Black Friday fever: do you wait for extra bonuses from casinos? on: November 30, 2022, 10:48:34 AM
Question - are you expecting exclusive promo offerings on the Black Friday?

Since Black Friday just occurs rarely in a year, it should be associated with something special.

An exclusive promo should always be considered by any company or service.

Besides, if that's a good deal, expect that more users will be attracted to it and will definitely spend money on that exclusive promo.

The reason I think Black Friday promos won't work and haven't work so far in gambling and casinos and have failed to the be the major event of the year is because Black Friday is associated more with physical buying rather than digital buying and this is the reason I think it has not the target audience as have for example other bonuses that the casino offers like the deposit bonus,welcome bonus,weekly bonus and monthly bonus,the loyalty bonuses function much much better digitally and that is why we haven't seen any major bonuses from reputable casinos from a couple of years.

What are the predictions for matches this time, Tunisia vs France @1.11 for France and @11.35 for Tunisia, Tunisia's chances are a draw at odds @5.51 if France doesn't field any core players because they are already in a safe position
Australia vs Denmark who wins will advance to next round @4.31 for Australia and @1.35 for Denmark.
Group C, three teams still have a chance to advance Poland, Argentina and Saudi Arabia, if Saudi Arabia able to beat Mexico, and Poland manages to hold Argentina to a draw so Argentina will be the same as Mexico eliminated

There is simply a huge difference in quality between Poland and Argentina and this is well known so the odds of the bookies are correct for Argentina at 1.45,Poland is a team from eastern Europe not that well known for soccer compared to Argentina which is a giant so for me there is no doubt in this game unless Argentina screw it up really big,they need the win at all costs in order to be sure of the qualification further in the 1/16 stage.

Saudi Arabia is the surprise of this World Cup,their lost game against Poland 2-0 did not reflect the true result of the game,they lost a penalty and many chances which makes me believe Mexico will have a difficult time tonight and we may see for the first time Saudi Arabia going further if they win tonight.
5452  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: November 30, 2022, 08:58:13 AM
It looks difficult for Liverpool to penetrate the top 4 in the standings table. There's been a lot of difference this season from a number of teams that are on a good run for competition. On the other hand, Liverpool are in a worrying condition with the instability they show in the game. They are 15 points behind the leaders of the standings, and 7 points behind 4th place which is now held by Tottenham. Meanwhile, the teams occupying that position are more promising than Liverpool at the moment.
In the next match Liverpool will face a difficult opponent, Manchester City will face Liverpool this December and will make Liverpool unable to face a very strong striker from Manchester City, hopefully there will be luck for Liverpool so they can win that match and add points for Liverpool.
The Manchester City vs Liverpool match which is scheduled for December 23 will be a tough challenge for Liverpool, Manchester City is not an easy opponent to beat. Manchester City, who are chasing Arsenal at the top of the standings, really need a win, the home game will be used by Pep Guardiola troops to catch Arsenal.
Liverpool who are trying to rise from adversity, will exert all their energy to get points at the Etihad stadium, even though it is difficult to bring home points from Manchester City headquarters, Liverpool will try to win points so they can improve their position in the standings list.


I think if Liverpool can win this game they should be doing a huge favor to Arsenal as this will most probably be a break through for Arsenal in their road to the title.It is very difficult as a game and Arsenal should rely only on their force to go and get that title missing if I am not mistaken since Venger times.Even if this game ends in a draw it should still be a super good result for Arsenal as they need another City game without a victory so they can be much more calm facing the games from there on.

Can't wait for the World Cup to end.These are boring weekends without the Premier League.
5453  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can you still win with free spins? on: November 30, 2022, 08:28:24 AM

You'll win but it won't be as significant as the good amount that we usually get from betting with certain matches and high odds. It's like getting something for free and you don't expect to get the best from it.

Dear it is free spins. If you think free spins give bigger amount so it is not possible.

In betting you bet your amount than you get the reward. In this if you win than you will get your amount.

But free spins are free and in this case you will never get big amount and not sure that the withdraw will be possible or not.
Yes, that's the about free things. You are unlikely to win bigger things and amount from it.

But, that's fun. You get to have free spins and you just have to enjoy them and you won't mind whether you'll win some or lose the entirety.

There are some slot providers like Relax Gaming and Play n Go which the real big wins are only caught during the free spins as they increase the multiplier in an insane way at Relax Gaming when you hit it good up to x100000 and this happen only during the bonus game for example in Money Train 3 slot and also Play n Go which multiplies your bet up to x100 during the free spins of the bonus rounds they have in a variety of slots like Green Knight,Clash of Camelot,Diamonds of the Realm and 15 Crystal Roses.

I have extensive experience playing slots and the best thing to do to win big is to not play slots  Grin.
5454  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Running a casino during crypto crash on: November 30, 2022, 07:59:01 AM
What the casino can't do is to receive a deposit in BTC and convert it to Shiba Inu or any other cryptocurrency (and even fiat) right after.
maybe it would be more interesting if there was an exchange feature in the casino so gamblers who might be worried about the value I think it's a good idea although I've seen some casinos provide that feature to make it easier for gamblers to exchange BTC into fiat when the value of bitcoin drops or other crypto available in the casino

If possible, that proposal may work as there are many gamblers who feel fear when the market is crashing, if casino can give in-house exchange that helps those gamblers to exchange right away the fund that they have, either convert to fiat or to another crypto coin that
they think will be more solid.

Though not all are capable for that, casino are also trying to survive with the current market, they are trying to make sure that they
are ready to whatever happens that may trigger the business.
It seems to me that such a feature is never going to be as popular as gamblers may like it, after all if a casino was big enough and began to do this then they will expose themselves to all kind of risks and they will have to manage their casino more like an exchange than a casino, and as we have seen if there is a bad management then an exchange can collapse within days, so while this will be very convenient I doubt there are too many casinos that would like to take that risk.

It is normal that any casino will not implement it.Nowadays cyberattacks are on the mood and this exposes the casino to more unnecessary risks which can bring a lot of loss if hacked or something bad happens.Even if this does not happen the casino will pay up more for people to keep it secure.

I think it is a user responsibility to withdraw the funds from the casino when he is seeing that the market is crashing and he does not want to use his crypto in the casino at that time because it is a lower value and while you keep the money in the casino the temptation to play is always high.
5455  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why Must it be the last game? on: November 30, 2022, 07:33:48 AM
The solution is to take the winnings you have. If you doubt that the result will change, you don't have to wait until the end of the game is over. But most people will probably wait until the match is over because they are sure that the results will match their predictions, so they think the win will be big. Cashing out money when you win is the right move because you can take the winning money. Apart from that, we also know that the match's final result can change at any time and here, we must be wise in dealing with it.

Exactly,nowadays most reputable casinos who also offer a sport book they can offer you the cashout option and if it is always the last game,well then do not wait for it until it ruin your game and go ahead and use the cashout button and get the amount of money you win from the games that you have actually won.I know that the human nature has in its roots greed as the most powerful desire but we have to fight it and be rational,rational means to get what you can get without relying on luck to get more.

Looks like the first games of 1/16 should be fairly easy for Netherlands against the USA and England against Senegal and I doubt there will be any surprise for these two teams to go further to 1/8 stage.USA yesterday in the last minute suffered truly a lot and the VAR neglected a penalty to Iran which could have as well equalized,I liked the game very much because beside the sport battle there was also a political battle here which sparked the game even further,it was truly enjoyable to watch.
5457  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's FIFA World Cup 22 Prediction Pool Discussion thread on: November 29, 2022, 09:02:55 PM
USA was playing much better than Iran in first half, and deserved the lead, it could end up 0:2, but VAR is on the line again

England and Wales are in similar situation, England is much better, but the game does not seem that interesting (or it is just too hard for me to work and simultaneously watch two matches Smiley )

The good thing of today games is that is the first time that we did not see any surprise result,most likely because you cannot gamble in the last game of the group stages like many of the strong teams have done in the first two games,now here it is all or nothing in play so no surprises and for bettors I think this was a really good day if not the best of all tournament up until now.In the USA game there are 9 minutes of added time something new introduced in this World Cup by the president of FIFA who said people want to watch 90 minutes of effective football while the average they see in a game is 50 minutes of effective football so we should make up for the time lost and most games in this World Cup had a lot of added time.

So big congratulations to Senegal,the first African team to make it further,I was not at all expecting such a bad play from Ecuador and Senegal took full advantage of their penalty and kept playing really well and got a well deserved qualifier.I think now the big event of tonight is without a doubt Iran vs USA and not only in sport level but also in political level,the bookies are heavily favoring the USA but I don't know what to expect from this game,I doubt Iran will surrender that easy as they are also in for a further qualification if they manage to get a draw at least against USA.

Netherlands just did their job today,nothing special,they took it very easy the game and that was to be expected.

Uruguay have really surprised me, I thought they’d be much, much better. There is a lot of history in the Ghana vs Uruguay games. Remember the Suarez handball on the line, the penalty was missed & Uruguay won on penalties. I think the Ghanaian squad will be motivated to put that right.

Regardless though, if Uruguay can advance to the round of 16, they won’t be going much further.

I would be extremely surprised if Uruguay go past the group stages judging by the two games they have played.In the first one especially against Korea if I remember correctly they ended it without a true dangerous shot on goal and that for me says a lot.Ghana in the two games they have played they put their spirit into it by giving 100% of their capability and if they do the same in the last game against Uruguay I think they will qualify further and for me this will be a much deserved qualification for the African team.
5460  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: November 29, 2022, 10:43:57 AM
FIFA got the right decision to play the games of each delicate group that are taking place today in the same hour as this leaves no rooms for "cheating" or letting a surprise result happen,as long as each team does not know how the other game is going they are sure to give their 100% of condition in the field.When they know before playing what has happened in the other game if the games were on different time then this would be something bad for the tournament.

The only bet I am going to place today is a double with Netherlands win and England to win,I think the total odd is about near 1.8 so a nice one to get what I call some free money as I believe this to be the case in these games.
