they are still hiding, the predicted time from SkyTV for the poleposition is 1.28.5/1.29

They are still at 90% of the engine or less

In fact it showed that they were hiding,the true pace was 1.29.175 for Verstappen who again made a difference because of his driving skills as Perez was not able to beat the Ferraris for example.On another note the Ferrari has always performed well in this track and has always fought for victory in here.I am a bit shocked with McLaren results as they are much weaker than they were in the last season ending and I think they have not worked in the right way,it is a shame not being able to capitalize on their last season ending performance and also Mercedes was weak.Let's see the race of tomorrow to get a better understanding where the cars really are as just one lap is not enough to get a clear view.

Qualy in just about less than 2 hours, interesting FP where RedBull seems like they are hidding their real performance, I HOPE for a seson with not so much Max Verstappen dominance, and the pool being more funny and dramatic.

Best of luck for alls.



Exactly.I doubt very much that Ferrari is able to be topping the real thing.Also McLaren I think is more than capable of scoring higher positions in the official qualifying.

For me is the first time I am enjoying full EBP points since race one as the previous seasons I missed the first race despite me scoring prize spots in both other previous seasons.

If you care for your children then surely yes.To me at least it happens like that,when I am about to go and deposit again because of the rage of losing I think that by doing so I risk to not fulfill all of the desires that my child may have and I immediately end the gambling there.

Of course there are a lot of irresponsible gamblers who do not care for themselves and their family and all they want is to gamble and just gamble not thinking about the consequences.Do not be like these guys.

For the moment I don't know the feeling as I have never won any lottery but I imagine it is a great feeling as the first thing that comes to my mind since most people are not happy with their work life they maybe thinking now I have time to quit my job and search for a new one as I would be comfortable economically speaking.If she is happy with her economic life then she can do whatever she likes with that huge amount of money she won.

👉👉when you are in need of money urgently
Some people gamble the most when they are in need of urgent money. They use the little in their account to gamble believe they can double the money in no time through gambling to do what they want to do. This most times go wrong making them to lose the little they should have save for that purpose
Tell this to a struggling guy and you just might be met with a whole different ideology.

Gambling has served as the hope of a common guy. It’s not exactly the hope but somehow, it tricks the common man to think so. To feel that there is always something on the way, just after placing that bet, you believe your going to win, it’s just you having to wait a few rounds, few hours, a day a week, depending on what period your bet is supposed to run through.

So when you find people about this ideology, it’s hard for you not to imagine them gambling and when would you find them gambling, when they don’t have enough to go with and hopes for an increment.
You just have to realize when gambling isn’t doing the best for you, when it’s not best for you to gamble and you just don’t.
I have heard many gamblers in my local environment making statements like gambling is they such of income,  or if not for gambling they could not have afford the basic things of life,  this mindset has made many of them to get into possible addictions or heavy losses at the end of the day so taking gambling to be anything aside just fun it then out of concern,  but then it is better not to gamble at all rather than gambling with a particular agenda at heart because that will pressure you into gambling in some form of direction which will lead to more negative directions.
Rightly said one should not imagine winning in gambling at the end of the day there is nothing better than loss it is only based on guess and share. There is no doubt that success in gambling is not for everyone, it takes talent. Due to the transaction of so much money in a short period of time through gambling crime in the country can increase. Various forms of anarchy can arise. Gambling helps the rich get richer which can exacerbate inequality in a country with wealth inequality. Pushes the general public to further harm.

Every person gambles with imagination that they will win big in their session or at least to be in profit after that session.No one enter gambling imagining that after such session they will be in loss.The very few people who go into gambling knowing very well their odds are against them are the ones who usually give a try at a certain amount like 50-100 dollars and they stop if they lost them and do not come back to regain their losses.The people who come back should stop gambling.
746  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Brasileirão 2024 - Brazilian Championship Serie A on: February 29, 2024, 12:09:29 PM
Yes, I support Flamengo so I follow the Rio championship more, look, this award is new to me, it really is a lot of money, maybe they (organizers of the state) are doing like the Brazilian Cup, increasing the prize to avoid precisely use state championships as experimental championships for big teams

With a little research, I discovered that the 2024 Carioca championship will not have a prize for the winner, but the clubs will receive a fixed fee
I couldn't find out how much this amount is, but I'm sure that your team Flamengo is the one that receives the most from Rede Globo's broadcasting rights

As far as I know the Carioca championship is widely watched throughout Brazil due to the fact that Flamengo has fans all over the country

So in the case of the Carioca championship, this must be the reason why you see teams focusing more on testing players and new formations, rather than actually trying to win the championship, since the money is already guaranteed, no matter the position they finish in the league




Carioca is not the main one and normally lower league Champion it is in complete discretion to the Football federation.I see this implementation quite common in many countries,in fact where I live now they have put a formula that even in the main league to give a prize only to the top 4 teams as they will play against each other to decide the Champion and Champion will not be the team ending 1st in the standings.Nothing to be surprised here.

Do you have a sports that you keep betting on even though you don’t watch this sports live or you don’t know the full specifications of this game?

In my case, I keep betting on tennis whenever I have spare money on my casino balance from my VIP rewards(Rakeback) after my long game session on live games. I’m not really a fan of sports betting in general but I do place bet randomly on tennis especially the Asian Handicap on live match. I’m always betting on the underdog that already has 1 set advantage to the favorite players. I do this bet just for fun no string attached.

I believe this is the literal definition of “gamble what you can afford to lose”.  Grin




I keep betting on leagues that I don't watch in Tv or Internet live streaming yet I have access to the club web pages and news in general from Instagram as I follow dozens of sport pages in Instagram so despite not having the physical time to watch the games live I still continue placing bets there with the information I have.I know a lot of other people do the same as me as I see people that are watching sport news and rare are the ones who read because they are fans,most of them are gamblers.
748  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: February 29, 2024, 08:08:55 AM
Casemiro propelled Manchester United into the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. The captain assisted, and the vice-captain scored, helping Man United avoid another setback from losing to Fulham. Now, they're set to take on Liverpool in the FA Cup quarterfinals.
Man United handled the Forest match like any other game, and they need to prove themselves once more. however, it won't be an easy victory for Liverpool, especially after their struggle against Southampton's defense. Despite facing an injury crisis, both teams have showcased impressive performances, particularly with players from the academy stepping up. However, with the way things are going, I'm concerned Klopp might start recruiting from Liverpool's kitchen staff for their match against Manchester United.
Manchester United's front line did not work well throughout this match so Casemiro came to be the hero for Manchester United's narrow victory.
And to face Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, I think it will be very difficult for Man United and even the percentage that Man United can beat Liverpool is quite small. I see this realistically from the strength of the two teams and also the consistency of both teams throughout this season.
It could be that this is a strategy implemented by Manchester United to save the stamina of their attackers in the match against Liverpool in the FA Cup quarter-finals, that the match could break everyone's predictions in the match, we will never know Man United's game, maybe they will win the match or not.  even knocking Liverpool out, the world of football is a surprising thing for fans, so in my opinion this is Man United's strategy in maintaining the stamina of its players to win this season's title in the FA Cup.

The fact that they barely managed to win with Nottingham Forest shows that it won't be easy at all and although I don't exclude the possibility I think that it will be extremely difficult for Manchester United to win.In fact I think that Liverpool won that other cup against Chelsea showing their commitment in such competitions despite fighting for the Premier League title so most likely they will be the winners out of this clash.

Do you have a habit of tracking your gambling progress?
Actually, I take gambling for only the purpose of entertainment not like the earing sources. So it is generally ok for me to not tracking my gambling progress. I also don't have any habit before butstill I have a note on my google keeps some of my wins. I don't know how you called it. But generally I don't tack my gambling progress.

People who keep progress of their sessions usually are people who look at the data which most of the time are in red losing money over the long run.By doing so they are also much prone to quit gambling and many of people who have quit gambling and are out of gambling for good.So if you really just want to have fun there is no need to keep track of your progress.

We have reached 19 participants now. There is only one person for the sponsorship fee to increase!! You can look at the OP to check your name. If there is a mistake please write it here or PM me. I think that we will reach 20 people until this Friday. I'm looking forward to seeing even free practice this Thursday to start.

Ps: If there is someone who you think they would be interested in joining I would be glad if you let them know.

I think that there is a guy who always talks a lot about Motorsport in general in the Motorsport main thread here,I don't remember well his name but the name starts with coin as the start.I think it is coin-locket or something like that,I think that person would be interested to join this pool if he has not already or maybe that he uses another username for the pools in Superbru.That would make 20 in total so the pool sponsorship would be increased and we would all be happy.

I think that at Ferrari with a driver like Hamilton they are finally going to have that driver that will surely give them 101% out of the car which most likely will give both sides mutual benefits.I am sure that if Ferrari manages to give Hamilton a car like they have given to Alonso and Vettel which they did not win any Championship,Hamilton is going to win one,I think that is what Ferrari is aiming with the move that signed them Hamilton.
752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: When you are not to gamble. on: February 28, 2024, 02:22:43 PM
You can add these two:

When you win little, do not gamble on that day again. But some gamblers will feel like they should continue to gamble and they will lose at the end of the day.

When you are addicted. Quit gambling for a long time.

I am exactly into this second scenario here.I have about 2 weeks without gambling a lot and only very little money so quitting your massive sessions for longer periods of time sounds like a heal potion like those old Rpg games say to such persons.It will make you stronger the longer you are able to resist and if you are also able to withstand the inner desire to gamble you are then 90% healed from the gambling problem.
753  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Is it ethical to break your gambling rules on: February 28, 2024, 07:45:42 AM
My recent experience from gambling, prompted me to ask this question,  and just as the title stated clearly,  you can easily deduce what I am trying to ask in this thread


My experience
In the last two weeks, I have been on a steady roll in gambling and most of the stakes I placed are mostly in sports bets, dice, and spin, all these games are luck-based games unless for football that requires a little bit of analysis.


That being said, this week I noticed that I have continued in the same trend despite that I have a personal gambling rule, not to gamble for two weeks consecutively,  but unknowingly for me I am already in the third week without adhering to my own rule.


So this led me to ask the general public if I am gambling too much, although this excess didn't affect my finances in any way since I still managed to come out with little winning at the end of the day and at some level, my losses are still below 30 percent of my set out money.

If you continue like that though most likely that 30% down will go further south as in the long term everyone who gambles has a super high risk of being in red because there is the house edge to keep the casino afloat.If you play sport betting and you think you are good with your skills think again as the referees can make your analysis go to hell with some very much objected decisions that unfortunately are still going on despite having the VAR technology.
754  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Support, do not criticize. on: February 28, 2024, 06:59:07 AM
If you know anybody trying to stop the addiction of gambling to become better for themselves and their family, try and show them support by not criticizing them. If you observe that they experience some kind of relapse and go back to gamble even when they said they were not going to gamble, try to encourage them to remember why they wanted to stop gambling for the time. It is not an easy decision for some of them to make, and even imagining that they will never gamble again can make it worse for them, most of them need all the support they can get to help them maintain the decision to give gambling some time away. If you criticize and mock them, they may nurse in the heart the mindset that gambling is impossible to stop, or even stop trying to stop gambling because you have already made them feel like they can never do it.

I am myself in such situation yet very few people know I am gambling so I try to encourage myself even though I in some instances go back to gambling.A good way that is working for me is to play little money and spend more time by doing so in choosing the currency that has value like IDR.To me this is working,as I get bored after spending time playing and am not spending more than 20-30 dollars,an amount which is ridiculous nowadays.So yes encourage and support is the way to go.

I am sending the payment in chunks,this week 0.0005,next one 0.001 and next one 0.0005 because of my difficult situation with gambling.
Although I've never understood why you always choose to do this; I will vouch for you on your behalf

I really appreciate it mate,thanks a lot.I am sending a bit little than 0.0005 and I am sending more than 0.0005 next week but one thing is sure as you and many others have always seen,I always pay in the end,it is just that I am in a bad gambling habit right now which I plan to get out of it.

Here is first chunk payment as a beginning and sorry for the low fee but otherwise with other fees I would be sending less than 0.00035,I promise to pay every week something like that until the 0.002 is fulfilled.

 1st chunk payment https://blockstream.info/tx/2e5df2f69b8c0ae8bde36e6994664c406829876f923ead0ad861d9320eb0271c  0.00042000

757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: An Unusual Story that Reflects the Current Gambling Addiction Reality on: February 26, 2024, 12:37:44 PM
I think the person offering help probably got wary because the husband wanted to use his own account for his wife's medical funds. There's a concern that the money might end up being spent on gambling instead of the intended medical support. This situation shows how gambling issues can make people doubt even well-intentioned gesture and it just shows the real-life impact of this problem
The man did the right thing. I guess the man knows the husband. The husband can be someone that do misuse money, especially if he is a gambler. That may not be the complete amount of money needed and he can think the man can think of doubling the money and gamble with it. It would be unfortunate if he gamble with his wife life. It is better the man pay the wife account the money so that the money can be used appropriately.

Using money needed for a terminal illness to gamble and not caring about your wife health condition it is the worse a person can do and apparently the person in charge of registering money assumed that the man insisting on giving his details instead of his wife may be an avid gambler and that was a risky move.I applaud such gesture in our time.
758  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: February 25, 2024, 08:48:59 PM

Some people like to seek out popularity in life, others find it difficult to accept their perceived shame that comes with losing or even just find a sick pleasure in deceiving people. There's all sorts of reasons that might cause people to lie about winning when it never actually happened. There is a lot of money floating around in the world of gambling and great incentive for companies to trick people into thinking that you can win big. There are also people who try to make a living out of selling winning tips, so they naturally want to be seen picking a higher amount of winners and will go to great lengths to hide any losers. Selectively deleting tips or subtly adding the outcomes after the event has already closed.

People usually want sensationalism. If no one wins big in casinos or lotteries, how can you entice players? The fact that usually big wins are just contractual, and the casino let certain people win on purpose - we can guess about it, but you can hardly find direct facts on it. Therefore, you should not believe those who yell about their luck left and right

I will never understand such persons.Personally before hitting two huge multipliers late last year and early this year more precisely x9833 last year in Fish Eye slot from Pragmatic and x11339 in this January in Return of the Green Knight slot I had doubts about people who posted max wins too.After winning I have no doubts anymore that it is completely random and the people who lie about their max win I will never understand what these people want,maybe they have failed in life too and they want just someone to notice them as great guys who have hit a huge win.

Many months ago some one won the max win with a really high bet in Stake,yet I don't know why the replay wasn't taken from anyone to be posting in Youtube or any other social media.That made headlines in the chat and everybody were talking about that guy winning truly a huge amount of money,don't remember well if it was Sweet Bonanza or Enhanced RTP Sweet Fiesta.

I also though have not found a single video of Sweet Bonanza online in youtube or other streaming services,it shows that is extremely difficult to get such win in that game and that people should focus their efforts in better alternatives.
760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: February 25, 2024, 08:10:49 PM
Well, that's why I'm very confident that this season Inter are the best team in Serie A and of course, with the results Inter have had so far it's promising for Inter to stay at the top of Serie A and get the Scudetto. Because after all, Inter closest team in the standings is Juventus but it is clear, that Juventus have also been left far behind in the points gap with Inter. So yes, it is very unlikely for Inter to slump after all the good results they have had to date. So, it's not right if anyone still thinks Juventus will pose a threat to Inter because after all, Inter are already in a very safe position to stay at the top of the table until the season ends.

We don't need to doubt Inter Milan anymore because they have truly secured the title even though the season is not over yet Juventus have been out of the race since they had a bad run a few weeks ago so somehow Juventus caught up with the 9 points behind while Inter Milan continued to consistently win. The things we can monitor in the Italian League are the competition for tickets to the Champions League and the fight to stay away from relegation, so far we have seen 3 teams that have the potential to be relegated and 3 other teams are still not safe.

We should also see Inter Milan how far they will go in the Champions League after they have already secured their title fight in Italy with 12 weeks to be played they are 9 points ahead and with one game less than the closest follower Juventus.In Champions League they complicated things for themselves as Atletico Madrid was only defending and it was only in 37th minute of the first half that they had a couple of chances,then they defended all the time.Inter should have scored a lot more goals than they scored in that game so most likely they will be playing as aggressively as they did in the first half in this return leg.
