P.S. Sometimes it is both hard to believe and looks shocking, when a guy makes a 1.5k purchase and wins 76k worth Bored Ape Yacht club NFT with 0.77% chance to win only. I mean there are lots of less risky games there for a 1.5k single bet.
This guy made six spins, spending ~$9.6k. So, he actually made a huge profit. However, this is a really crazy thing to do because this guy was very lucky to win a $76k NFT for such a small number of spins. I can't imagine what he had in mind, knowing that there is a 77% chance of winning only 777 BFG($13) and only a 0.77% chance of him winning the grand prize. That sounds like just gambling addiction and dumb luck.
I'll call it a dumb luck Cheesy Sometimes it is so hard to believe (and not be envy) when I see a guy placed 1 dollar in limbo and turned it into x8000 multiplier. In limbo, it is not the game when you watch how the rocket flies and hit cashout button, it is the game when from the start you set your cashout at exact multiplier and just launch the rocket. The guy manually set 8000 and caught luck. FFS... How come someone in clear mind think of something like that?
It's "possible", as people can imagine it is not probable but it is possible and that is why I think it's quite important to realize that we are going to end up seeing a lot better situations on the long run when people realize they can't do the same thing. Unfortunately too many people see those things, envy like you and me, but also start to gamble a lot just to have a chance to have the same result. Considering how unlikely that is, most of them fail, and lose all their money to the casino.

When people think of profitable casino, what are they thinking? I mean where does the revenue come from? It comes from the people who lost money, and that's the important part, I think it should be noted that we can't really have a casino staying as long as it did, and still make profit without gamblers losing. Which means that yeah there are few lucky people, but that doesn't mean that they are going to end up with a profit that easily, it is not going to be good for most of them.

@Leviathan. 007 Brazil should be careful not to repeat the mistakes of Italy otherwise in coming year’s they’ll be absent from the World Cup and personally I never got over the news of Italy missing out hence can’t see a World Cup without Brazil ever. Furthermore the gap exists because Brazil player’s play in important leagues and if other countries want to close the gap they need to try and get their player’s to play in big leagues to gain much needed exposure.
I think difference level national team between UEFA and CONMEBOL zone due Brazil need finish above six standings place automatically will qualify to world cup. But not make it easy after three consecutives matches loss and Brazil have wake up upcoming match next year for securing their top six position place. Have many points gap with Argentina on the first standing and must have won for several matches later if Brazil keep on the top position behind will make difficult under 7th standings will get playoff round.
Brazil next match against Ecuador but still very longer time, hope any player still injury will get recovery and already for the upcoming match and bring back Brazil to the top standing as possibilities with 2nd or 3rd placed.
I still think that it is not going to be all that difficult for them, after all we are talking about Brazil here. Yes they are not doing great, and yes they are looking to change their manager (ancelotti may take the spot) but that doesn't mean that they will keep doing terrible. They will do fine and I bet that they are going to be in world cup without a doubt. It should be noted that they are good enough to beat everyone else from here on out and they can go there. I know that some people have seen the bad momentum and they think that people will lose, but that doesn't mean that they will keep on losing forever, it is going to be quite difficult in the end.

I hope that we could continue this work and bet on them to win. I will personally bet on them to win all the remainder of the games because I believe that they are going to make a great profit, and that should not be an issue for them, it should be easy money for me hopefully, unless I am wrong and they lose again.

As someone who has been interested in horse racing from the owner part of things (I am not a horse owner, I just spent time with some of them) I can tell you that it hasn't been all that interesting any part of the world. The recent era of humanity has realized that this is something that is not good for the horses, I mean just the idea that horses are whipped is clear enough that we are talking about something that hurts them.

You may consider that they are taken care of better than any other horse, but to be fair the horses are taken care of based on the owner, not the situation, even the greatest horse could be taken care of terribly if the owner is a bad human, and the worst horse could be taken care of as kings if the owner is a good human. So with humanity evolving, you may disagree with this idea, but there are more and more opposition to horse racing, and it was never at some football or basketball or tennis level even before, and definitely even worse now.

This really interesting to see a combat kind of gaming that's not based on player skill but luck based. Which means it doesn't give one player any advantage over another based on how skillfully better one player against his opponent might be.

It's an equal playing field with luck which means I don't have to worry that the next player is more skillful than I am therefore I don't stand a chance of winning him/her. I really need to check out this game for myself now, the suspense is killing me.
There isn't any How to play guide on Rollbit.com and their twitter page and I am lost in vein how to play this game. Is this game skill based or luck based? I watched one match on Rollbit.com and players were standing like a tree and were damaging each-other. It doesn't look like skill based but is still PVP. If it's luck based, then what's the point of PVP? I don't understand. But the intensity and the way they are promoting this game, it should be very good.

Btw isn't any casino going to add skill based games or 100% luck based games? For example, games similar to penalties, like this one? -> Penalties PvP
Well, from what I understand it's both skill and luck combined. To be fair it's very new and we need some proper youtube series about it to make sure that we get it right, some videos would be a lot better to see how it is done, but so far it has been quite fun to watch other people do it. In the end, it's still a gambling thingy, and there is no need to lose money on something you do not understand.

I mean it has been about 10 years since I learned about plinko, as simple of a game as it gets, and yet I do not understand the concept so I do not play. Like yeah it has multiple outcome options, wherever the ball lands, I get that and I understand how the game works, but I do not understand why that's different than slots, it looks like just a different design of a slot game, at slots you bet, the machine rolls, and depending on the situation you end up either winning nothing, or "winning" less than what you bet, or you get your bet back or you win more than what you bet, exact as plinko, so I do not play plinko at all. Same here for me, won't play until I understand more.

If Ancelotti somehow gets to United, that would be all problems solved for United without a doubt. He is not called Don for a reason, that dude is serious about playing time, you can be the greatest player ever, and if you do not show up and play with your 100% then you will not get any start, maybe even be out of the bench. Ancelotti could manage PSG tomorrow, and if Mbappe doesn't care in the game or training, he could literally bench him, this dude is too much focused on playing the players who will contribute the most and will work the most, it is not just about talent for him.

United has that lack of passion issue, if Don goes there, he will make sure he plays all the ones that work 100% and all the players will realize this and will put their 100% without a doubt. But, to be fair I do not expect him to go there neither, he will either stay at Real Madrid, or he will go to Brazil, those are the two options if you ask me and he may go to Brazil more likely.

So, true story it is. I went to twitter the other day and saw this message from Roobet:



And I remebered that couple of days ago I did participate in a giveaway by Roobet for which I should like and repost, things like that, but I totally forgot about it because I thought I will never win anything because of the odds(too many people were participating, like 3k or even more).

Then I went to Roobet and there it was, a nice notification:



and yes, it was added to my balance indeed:



You never have a chance if you don't participate, guys. Try your luck once in a while. Wink
Congratulations on the prize you get, $30 is enough to channel your gambling passion and if you're lucky, it's possible to double it or even more.
I never again take part in giveaways held by Roobet on their social media because as you said there are too many competitors so it can be said that it is almost impossible to win a giveaway prize, but your post encourages me to return to take part in every giveaway that Roobet does, who knows, luck will come.
and this is the latest event that Roobet posted on their Twitter https://twitter.com/Roobet/status/1729734760275022135
I think it's small enough that it worths taking a risk and losing it all, but also big enough that you could double or more that money and withdraw something nice. If I wager 30 dollars on something that is like 10x return, that means I have 10% or even smaller chance to win, which is small and I will be fine losing that and most likely that I will lose it.

However, if I get lucky somehow and win, then that would suddenly become 300 dollars and that's a big enough amount that you could withdraw it. Depends on where you live of course, but even in the USA which is an expensive nation, that's good enough to buy something, or have enough money for food for a few days without worrying. These are all nice things for people who don't have much.

I was just checking the momentums of the teams, and it is obvious that Al-Hilal is playing on another level, they have built by far the best team without a doubt, but seriously considering the situation, Al-Nasr is going great too. I mean obviously one of them will win, and whichever team ends up losing the league, it will be quite terrible for them.

I think it's quite obvious that we are talking about something that will be a bit different and I believe that we are going to end up seeing one team be super upset about losing. Al-Hilal by all means looks like they are going to win the league, but Al-Nasr definitely played like a champion all season long as well and if/when they lose, that's going to hurt a lot. Plus if Al-Nasr fails to win, it will be second year in a row when Ronaldo lost this league, everyone would love to see him win a title here before he retires, seems like he will keep on playing for a few more seasons at least, so he still has  chance.

Juventus is by far the better team if you ask me, and I would say their manager is better too. People who think that Inter is better and Juventus is mismanaged have not seen Juventus at their peak when everyone was healthy. To be fair their problem has always been a bit about the injuries, it was also like that last year too, even with points fine, they could have been going to Europe if they didn't had injury trouble. Maybe that is regarding their training?

I am not sure what causes it, but Juventus is famous for having injured stars at this point, it has been a few years now and back to back each year they lose someone. In any case, I am feeling like they are going to be fine, these players will get back and they will win something, it should be quite important. I understand it may not be easy, and it may take a while but that's going to happen and I believe that we are going to see it happen as well. I just don't know when that will happen that's it.
789  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Most gamblers do not believe they can consistently make money, that's why... on: November 28, 2023, 05:24:25 PM
I doubt that "most" gamblers feel the same way, I mean it looks like we are talking about a situation that would be a little bit different, we are talking about a situation that would allow them to be a bit different and think that it could be a bit weirder. I understand that we are talking about a situation where most gamblers are aware that they are not going to make money consistently, sure there could be some moments where you get lucky and win a lot here and there, we all did, but that doesn't mean that we all expect to keep having the same result at all times.

This is why it is quite obvious that we are talking about a situation that would be a little bit different, it is not going to be all that easy to handle one way or another. We need to make sure that it could be a little bit different. So not all gamblers feel the same way, and the ones that think this, will end up thinking it is not possible eventually so it is going to be fine and they will join our ranks to gamble just for fun.

The next World Cup will be 48 teams World Cup and they will obviously earn more money from this tournament, maybe they can spend the money they earn during this time on developing football, I think even in Brazil they need to do much more development because this country got a huge potential and they only thing they need to have is a good management system to help the young talents in this country and that's how Brazil can return to the golden days again.
That would be lovely, reaching out to places that wasn't reached out before would be quite good for them, they really need to grow football a lot. I understand that social media helped a bit, but we are still talking about a 2+ hour deal, between the half time and the extra added times on both halves, we will have 2+ hours of our life in football every week, and that's just for fan of one game, if you watch other games as well, then we are talking about insane amount of time going to football.

In a day and age when nothing else was good, I understand why football was great, but nowadays there are many competitions to football, people can watch or do so many more things at home now, so convincing them to watch football is harder. World cup should be a place where you can convince a lot of people, the reach is greater.

Ferrari ended in 3rd spot in the leaderboard.

Not sure it is a bad thing, they will get less money as prize but more hours in the lab for testing
Ferrari has a "ferrari rule" that makes the F1 give them insane amount of money, it was 60 million dollars a year last time I checked, to keep them in the game. The idea was that unless f1 gives them that kind of extra money, they would not be able to sustain it, and leave. Which is fine, there are other teams that have left before and Ferrari could leave too, right?

Well, f1 decided that ferrari has a huge name and it makes the whole league earn more, so it works to keep ferrari in the league by paying them more, because it allows other teams to earn more as well, may sound unfair, but if other teams leave, the league wouldn't lose that many fans, but if ferrari leaves, the whole league would crumble and lost more money than they are paying to ferrari. This is why it's fine for them to be third, it allows them to get a lot more tunnel time, be better, and still make a lot more than the second place as money too because they are getting that added money.

These are the latest qualification results for Brazil:

Brazil 5-1 Bolivia

Peru 0-1 Brazil

Brazil 1-1 Venezuela

Uruguay 2-0 Brazil

Colombia 2-1 Brazil

Brazil 0-1 Argentina

Yes, it all started as usual with a massive win for Brazil, but then a surprise lost match against Peru started everything. They then went to draw with Venezuela, which is arguably the weakest in the region, and then went on to lose three consecutive matches.

I don't think Brazil has ever performed this poorly at any previous qualifier.

We'll see if they can come back against Ecuador
Brazil didn't lose against Peru? As you have stated in your post as well, do you mean Uruguay? That could be the situation and maybe that's the result you are talking about, nobody expected them to lose against Uruguay and they did, and had a three loss in a row situation, well to be fair losing to Argentina does make sense considering Argentina is the latest world cup title winners, but the other two games where they lost to Uruguay and Colombia was a shocker to the whole world.

I think they technically still have a chance, so it is not really end of the world for them, they will do their best and they will try to win as many games as they possibly could, that should be an important thing, if they can do that then they will be fine.

I would say Chet "could" be the rookie of the year, but I never liked giving the rookie of the year award to non-rookie players just because they were missing games. I think it was Ben Simmons who got it like on year three, that was really not good, maybe it was Embiid, not sure. All in all, Chet had more time with an NBA team, even when injured he was taken care of by an NBA team doctors, and trainers, and that is much better than some kid from France could ever get, dude was getting basically just "the best we got" situation there and he was still lacking.

All in all, Wemby still has time to turn this around, he is doing fine, he is not too far away, and if he could go on a rampage for a few games, he could do great. We have already seen him get close to 40 points before, so it is not really impossible for him to do that. Plus, getting rookie of the year has great benefits for your next contract, and that could be very profitable for him, so he would be more inclined to get it.

Real Madrid managed to get perfect points this week. The convincing victory they achieved over Cadiz temporarily allowed El Real to climb to 1st place in the standings and this is of course positive capital for Ancelotti's troops. Meanwhile, Girona, who has been able to perform phenomenally to date, has faced quite a serious challenge, of course it will not be easy for them against Bilbao, which incidentally is also in a positive trend. I think Girona will miss out on perfect points this week.
Real has been playing well lately and if earlier the team was helped out by Bellingham scoring important goals, now Rodrigo has come to his senses and started scoring, and in general you can see that the team is playing stably. The triangle of Kroos - Modric - Valverde creates the game in the middle of the field and in general, despite their age, Kroos and Modric are not falling out of Real's core.

The only position that can be strengthened is pure forward. Joselu is not a bad player and you can see that he is trying, but so far he is the only pure forward of Real Madrid and if something happens to him, it is not clear who will take his place in the attack of Real Madrid.
It is basically whoever needs to score situation. I mean if they need Jude to score then he does, if Rodrygo then he does, if Vini he did too, now missing some but he did. SO all in all they are doing their finest. The team is lacking the scorer position a lot, and they really need to have a star there, but they don't have any right now, which means that they really need to do a lot better, and that means the yare going to face some trouble.

And the way to get rid of that would be getting goals form other positions, and that is exactly what they are doing right now. I believe that the best thing to do right now would be making sure that they are doing as fine as possible, there is no other way to keep it going or even growing. So the fact that some others are scoring when needed is a big help.

The conditions experienced by Everton so far are almost the same as those experienced by juventus last season and for everton they still have many opportunities to improve their quality to be better. However, when the punishment comes suddenly and it is very surprising, it is quite appropriate that the players mentality experiences problems and that is very unfortunate. Maybe this season everton will fight again to get out of the relegation zone because currently they are the bottom team in the standing.

I'm sure Everton can bounce back and they just need support from the fans for now because in terms of their game they are still quite good like when they faced Manchester united. Burnley and everton currently collect the same points and they are 5 point adrift of Luton who is in 17th position as a team that is safe from relegation. That a pretty close point difference considering there are still a lot of games left in the season.
The difference is that Everton could just be an example, not the whole thing, and that's a bigger deal. Juventus got their punishment and that's it, it's the end, there is nothing else that follows that punishment afterwards. Whereas, Everton getting this means that City is in BIG trouble, if Everton got this punishment for this crime, imagine what would City get if they are found guilty as well, we are talking about literally at least couple leagues down punishment, and it's not like it would be unfair, if they are found guilty of what they are suspected of doing, then it would be fair to drop them a few leagues down.

Financial fair play is a big deal, and making wrong papers on what you really spent or earned, is a bigger deal then what they are claiming to be. I believe that Juventus and Everton are different because of that, one had nothing to do with other teams, whereas the other could be used as an example for other teams who committed a rule break.

It looks like Lakers are finally figuring out what they are doing and that should be a good case for them. At the end of the day they have multiple players outside of starting 5 that got some good times as well. This means that they are learning to be a team, they are all aware of their situation.

I still think that Wood should start along with AD as well, people are ignoring that, because if they did, that would be amazing for AD to get the playing the way he wants to and be even better. It also shows that they got a win without Lebron breaking his back carrying the team, he had "only" 22 points, that should be the important case and we could definitely see them doing better if they keep this up. The more players are used, the better the ball will be shared. That is not an easy thing to do and should be something that will be great for them on the long run, it could definitely help them get whoever is hot that day to score and help the team the most.

There isn't a clean line between being an addict and not being an addict, you can't possibly know if you are an addict or not around the start levels. I mean if you are an addict that sold his house to keep gambling some more, yeah then you know you are an addict, but how many people does that, whereas there are a lot of people who gamble with a small amount and have the addiction to keep doing that, and can't stop, that could be addiction too.

In the end, you can't just go "aaaaand now I am an addict after doing that", it is not clear, you can't possibly know what's going on, and this means that you can't know if you have ever been a gambling addict or not, to be fair you can't possibly know if you are one right now, because you could be an addict, but the results do not hurt you, or haven't so far and then you think to yourself I haven't been crazy so far which means I am not an addict, but you also have failure to stop for a month, if that's the case whose to say you are not an addict neither.

The biggest joke of the century is that Barbie is actually nominated? I am not saying that it didn't try to have some sort of meaning, there isn't really just some dancing and chat, there is this main idea behind it as well, and that's understandable, the whole "Barbie created terrible expectations from woman" type of situation and I agree, BUT when we are talking about a movie about potentially what caused the death of all humans, I would say the idea behind Barbie can't ever be taken seriously. And... it's Barbie lol, seriously? Barbie? Oppenheimer will win this one without even trouble, it is not going to be even a discussion about it, there isn't even any movie that could be alternative to it.

Other categories are fine too, but Cillian Murphy MUST win the best actor, that dude played the role perfectly, I wouldn't say a single line was out of order, he played it so amazingly on every single scene he was in, he definitely deserves it no question.

200 million for Haaland doesn't really seem like an impossible to pay amount to be fair. I do not know the financial situation Real is in right now, but I know that they are doing better than Barcelona at least, and if they can offer 200 million for Haaland, that would be better than Mbappe deal for them. Mbappe is a guy who creates financial trouble, you never know if he is going to resign or not, whereas Haaland is a guy who wants the best ,and as long as you can stay the best he will stay or if not, at least you can see him leaving.

I think a 5 year deal and 200 million would be fine for him, but if they can do more then that would be even better. Long story short, I think Real should check out the possibility, it's there, and they can do it, it's not impossible to handle. If not, at the worst case they still have Mbappe for free if they can get him, and that would be a good situation for them, it should definitely benefit them as much as possible, better than Joselu at least.

Honestly, Barcelona may had "some" troubles, but we all know that one win is guaranteed for them. They will beat Royal Antwerp and that means they will be 12 points, and there are 2 games left, which means that Shaktar will have to win both of their games, which is difficult considering one of them is Porto, so if Porto loses, then they would be the one to lose.

However, there is technically a situation where all three of them finish with 12 points if I am not wrong. How? Well Porto would beat Barcelona, make them 12 points, lose to Shaktar, and then Shaktar could beat Antwerp and Porto, make them 12 points, and Barcelona lose to Porto, but win Antwerp and be 12 points. I seriously doubt that would be the case, but if it is, that would be fun to see without a doubt.
