Best would be to keep focusing on sports that are played outdoor like football or sports that are done with a few people, like boxing or billiard, where only 2 opponents are needed. The biggest risk to be spreading the corona virus with sports is the not by the participants, but the viewers. Crowding thousands of people closely together in stadiums seems like a huge risk in my opinion. The first step would be to resume all the major sports again and only be able to watch them on TV, as is already be done with football tournaments.

Marriage seems a life model of the past. The world is changing in the last decades. With 50% of the marriages today falling its really the question why go into that risk of just divorcing in 10-15 years? The world moves so much faster today than in the past. None of my closest friends are married yet, most of them in a relationship for more than 5 years and still not interested in marriage. Same for having a family. Now with 30 years even the woman don't want any kids yet. Its more about having a good job and life. Maybe this will change in 5 tears again. Who knows.

The rules today are much strichter for kids playing in Casino and they are also more enforced than in the past. A lot of the poker pros we like to watch now on TV these days started as minors playing in illegal poker games. First in some underground games and later in casinos. In the 80s and 90s it was pretty common for the underage poker players to have fake IDs so they could be playing in casino games. It is really hard to judge the maturity of people with a fixed age number, is some with 18 really so much more serious than some with 17 1/2. I agree that all kids should be protected, but if someone has a lot of experience in a game and is aware of the risk he is taking we should have some leniency. We allow kids to drive a car with 16 when a parent is present. Maybe something similar could be done for gambling too? Visiting casinos with a parent? To get a better understanding of the risks involved.

I am sorry, I thought you were looking for someone to run this for you.

To give a part of the winnings to charity sounds like a good idea. I think there should be plenty of people here on this forum to be interested in such a gamble.

Maybe just start to run it on a monthly basis and see how it goes. Advertisement shouldn't be a problem here.

I don't think there is a way to stop spreading the virus at home, practicing social distancing from your loved ones seems to harash. Unfortunately this means that if one person is affected from corona the hole household would need to placed under qarantine. But atleast you are with your family..

The biggest risk in my opinion is with mass gatherings indoors like in churches or concerts. It happened many times in the past months that one person infected hundreds others just by being in the same room for a long period of time. Stopping these super spreaders would be very important.

As far as I am aware there basically two ways of earning money on Instagram. First, would be to go for as many followers as possible. You want as many people as possible to see your pictures and like or comment them. Here it doesn't really matter from which area or which age your followers you have as long as they are active. Instagram models I would count into this group.. The second way to earn money would be to be an influencer. For influencers the total number of followers is lot so important. It is more important to have a specific group of followers who are willing to buy products through you. You would be basically make advertisements directly for companies and then your followers would buy the products either using a specific code from you or a referral system. The company would then pay you based on the sales you generate. I know a friend who has less than 5k followers but because he is so specific in his posts that he can earn a decent income from being a influencer.

Be careful when going into forex, trading derivatives without the proper understanding first is very risky. You can easily lose a multiple of your initial investment. The market moves very fast and can wipe you out fairly quickly. I would recommend reading a book first before you you get into that.

The thing about foreign currency trading is that most prices are fixed for the near future due to equilibriums. You can always replicate a forward contract with actually investing the cash today in the other country in a money market fund.

How much money do you plan on trading? Do you have a secure monthly income to cover any big losses?

I don't think China can be taken serious in terms of crypto currencies. Every coin coming from them will be fully controlled by the communist party and will be first of all a political tool. In my opinion this is the complete opposite what crypto currencies stand for and will never be successful among independent investors.

As for Germany, the problem is that the Internet infrastructure and 5g mobile network coverage is not good. High speed broadband is lagging behind many other countries. Until Germany keeps investing heavily into its infrastructure I don't see them becoming a superpower.

I am not sure if there are really Backjack "professionals". If someone is saying he only plays Backjack and earns a living through that I would highly doubt that. Some players who are really good at Blackjack are mainly poker pros who just do some Blackjack on the side. The rules are very easy to learn in Blackjack and everyone could just follow a strategy. So if you were a pro and play everyday and win a lot of money I would assume people would notice you and start copying your strategy.
This of course doesn't include the card counting strategies but to do this on a large scale continuously doesn't seem feasible to me anymore because casinos are watching for those players and will ban them from the house.

If you look at the Tier 1 and 2 teams the odds should be pretty fair and will give you a good indication on who will likely win. There are so many people looking at the big teams like PSG for example that I it will be very hard to find thing that everyone else missed. Since the football matches are back during the pandemic I started to bet only on fairly sure games where the risk of losing is fairly low. Sure the winning are low too but it's better than to lose money at the moment.

I watched this weekend Hot Fuzz with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost such a funny an awesome movie. It's probably already 10 years old but these two play so great together. Definitely a movie for anybody to check out who likes British comedies. All most as good as the Guy Richie movies.

The only problem I see with when telling kids to don't do something, they will just do it for the sake of acting against their parents. Especially if they see grown ups doing it. If something is forbidden it just makes it more desireable. It would be better to include gambling into any education. Better to try and make them understand why it's a bad thing in the young age and can lead to addiction.


But how would you than make sure that no underage kids play on the casino then? Kids have access to FIAT or crypto currencies.

Making a welcome offer always part of a first deposit would ensure that the casino is not losing money, as they give away free welcome offers. A 100% or 200% bonus should be good to attract players.


That's a nice profit, but he is only one of the few lucky ones. In the end most people tend to be not so lucky with their first bonus. I think it's great to get to know the casino. But making a huge profit happens rarely.

Yes this is definitely gambling because you put in 10$ and have a 1/100 chance of winning, like any lottery. I think this is a good idea for this forum. There are many trusted users here who would easily function as escrow and another for lottery management. Some part of the winning would need to be used as fees for the two.

The only problem I would assume would be choosing which numbers to pick. Easiest would be if you assign the 100 participants a random number but I bet people would prefer to choose their own numbers. But then most people would try to pick their lucky numbers like 3,6, 13, or 19. It could be hard to fill all 100 numbers.

Blackjack is a game you only play vs the dealer, so practicing with play money definitely makes sense. It's different to poker where you would play against other humans. Running a fixed strategy makes sense in Blackjack because the dealer is doing the same thing. You can calculate your odds before you play. Most strategies have an chance of winning in the long run of slightly below 50%. But you can get above 50% also if you start counting cards. I am not sure if online casinos can check for card counting, in physical casinos you will definitely get banned if you follow this strategy.

That would be the best solution, instead of closing the market completely and watch casinos relocate to different countries, better make a fair tax system and profit of it. Creating more security for the investors and gamblers. I'm no export on the German market but I would assume in the current form its just much cheaper for casinos to open in small countries which offer a lot of tax incentives for new Internet businesses.

It will be definitely interesting to see how it's going to develop in the future. For me personally the aspect just to the see the roulette wheel as person in VR is not so appealing, because when gambling online I can do things simultaneously and don't need to focusing a 100% on the game. But with a VR headset it seems difficult to do things on the side. What I would find more interesting if there would be interaction with other gamblers through VR. If you could see and talk to all other gambler playing the same game would be much more interesting.  If we could get a similar feeling as when playing in a crowded physical casino, while playing through VR online would be awesome. Then I would maybe get into VR myself.

Unemployment could rise again in the near future, especially if there is a second and maybe even a third corona wave coming. Sure the vaccine will help but only if its available for everyone. I agree that the effects of corona will still be felt in the hex 2-3 years. People stopped consuming heavily in 2020 and held off on a lot of investments. All these should be coming back 2021 and the economies should be growing again.
But I am not sure if it will be really a boom or just a slow recovery. I think people got really scared how fast the hole world can change and by just printing money and giving it to the people it might not all be used for investments.

As a beginner I would recommend to not bluff at all when you play online. One major mistake new players tend to do is just to bluff too much. You need to put in a lot of your bankroll to make a bluff work - if you just keep min raising it's not convincing. And do you really want to put all your money in the middle with a bad hand? As a beginner you want to build a bankroll so you can play on higher stakes tables eventually. Your winning tend to be small in the beginning. If you play on 1 and 2 cent table don't expect to make 10$ every day. It's just not reallistic.

Just try to play basic, solid poker. Raise with good cards and fold bad ones. Keep raising if you hit the flop and folding if you don't.

Once you have the basics down of poker rules and starting hands you need to think more about the game and positioning on the table. Try to put yourself in the shoes of your opponent (What cards is he holding? Is he going to raise with these cards or just call? Would he call my raise with his cards?) You always need to recheck your approach to the game.

Unfortunately google only cares about money these days. It's been a very long time since google was a decent search enginge. Now it's all about making money because they know they have the costumers on their side. Basically all major web browser direct you towards google as soon as you write something in the adress bar. Google knows it's place and is just milking the cash cow now.
Checking for genuine website can be very difficult, because even if you google for the website and check on review sites. The scammers are aware and may have already created tons of fake reviews to report their own scam site. I would recommend putting in the adress yourself and just save it with a bookmark for later. A little bit more work but atleast you can be sure you get to where you want to go.
