Even so, it seems that casinos are also not going to sit idly by, so many casinos have started to create systems such as AI to fight against AI that are used by some people with the intention of manipulating or cheating casinos.
Yes, you are right that currently casinos are already using AI technology so to deal with their users who use AI and manipulate games is definitely not possible, because as we can see that casinos know how to run their business and certainly don't want to miss this kind of technology so they can it also makes it easier for them to overcome user users who use AI to beat the dealer. There are no bookies that go bankrupt because their users use AI, so everyone must understand how to use this technology, because AI cannot fully work to win at gambling, moreover their system is not fully created for gambling, even though there is no way it can be used to beat bookies. . they will continue to be the victors. It would be very difficult for AI to destroy an online casino games like poker rather many casino site would eveh use it to fight against gamblers using such act to win the game, the game would seize to be interesting and the casino site could lose many customers thereby making then to lose more money, since it's a business no business owner would sit back and watch their business undergo threat of losing money without working hard or doing anything to fight against those threats that could cause big set back to such business, therefore they'll also come up with technology that would eradicate those bots that many gamblers would use to cheat in the game. The bookies got more information and strategies and they have higher chances of winning and would always be ahead of gamblers so no matter what strategies or technologies you develop to enhance your winning ability they'll still discover your strategies and implement strategies to kick against it, left for me i think what did AI could do is improve the ability of beginners to play to stand a better chance of winning a pro in the game but would find it tough to win in serious tournaments were huge money is involved. I wonder if it could get to the point that the player trains the AI to play and then the casino train their own AI, so the game starts being a question of who has a better artificial player rather than being a people sport. This has already happened in some jobs that are rutinary or require a simple conversations. I do remember google assistant requesting a doctor's appointment. I wonder how long until an AI speaks to an AI to fix appointment. |

For it to be gambling, you must have something you have set up to lose in order to recieve a bigger reward. This means your; must be staked before it is called gambling. What you explained seems to have a deviation from Op who was saying about Super sports pick. How about a dare or an effort? It is not always about physical items. Let's say what we've done when we were children: we kind of bet, like, Let's have a race, If you'll go first, you'll punch me; if not, I'll punch you, or something like this. As long as it has a return, it is still gambling. It is not always a bigger reward; it is also having fun with it, but again, we do have our own perspectives on this. We are saying the same thing. Somthing must be staked and it must not be physical something. Like the children race you used as an instance, the punch that the loser gets is the loss and the pleasure that the winner derives in punching is the win. Just like in the olden days people gamble with life, when you lose you are dead. That is very weird and yet it is gambling and people practised it. You must have something to lose to qualify as gambling. Yep, that is a fact of life, gambling is taking chances and while some people are better at evaluating possible outcomes, most people, and this is scientifically proven, pretty much suck at evaluating risks. And it is something that goes with age and experience also, older people or people with experience on a certain field are slightly better at fining the right decissions. |

You are wrong in all your statements. See, you do not have to look for anything.
My own statement does not justify attacking non-critical infrastructure nor acts of terrorism (which would be veeeery easy to carry out by Ukraine if they wanted). While it might even be a false flag, the fact is that the Ruzzian Mod is 300 meters from there. My statement signifies that an attack on a legitimate target in Moscow may open the eyes of many to the sad reality: their government cannot even defend itself and this war is not something happening at 1000 clicks away.
If you deflect a drone it will land in another place. If you are in Moscow that "other place" is likely to be inhabited by humans. If the Ruzzians use a system that protects the Ministry by making drones fall in the vicinity means that they would rather protect the Ministry than other inhabited buildings in the surroundings.
And now that you understand why you are wrong and I am right, shall we talk about throwing missiles to grain silos as terror?
As an alternative I suggest talking about inflation in Ruzzia. Another interesting topic.
 with such low effort arguments you've done a great job at discrediting yourself, at which point this just feels like a great waste of time on my part, so i guess you got me, good job on that front. Your statements do not merit anything else. ... Grain silos: Objective facts - excess grain for export, China was to be the main consumer. Part of the larger end of the grain deal Results - Financial and political pressure on the "west". Event removes revenue stream from UA, opens up markets for RF grain, excess UA grain would flood Poland & Romania undercutting local farmers and further raising social tensions there. Poland and Hungary threaten to cut Ukraine’s export route to the West UA coverage - RF is starting new holodomor for...whole world? and only UA grain can save the children. Try to get as much coverage to stay in news headlines, bring attention to yearly child deaths in Cuba as a consequence of blockade starving children elsewhere in the world. RF coverage - target was used as military infrastructure to create and launch sea drones that attacked bridge in Crimea Facts - You argue that a drone hitting a commercial building near the Ministry is terror, but the attack on food storages is ok. Why would I need to make an effort to rebate that, you are doing great on your own. The complaints of eastern European farmers were already there even during the grain deal, so is not a result of breaking it. The solution is simple: Ukrainian grain would only be for export, not for local markets. It is a mere regulatory issue. Ruzzia is already a grain exporter. But let me ask you: If the grain from Ukraine to China is replaced with grain from Ruzzia... what happens to the price of grain inside Ruzzia? If you ask me, the RF citizens are going to pay extra and is not a luxury product, it is the most basic food. I hope they feel glorious about it. A deal has two sides. It is not that Ruzzia is creating hunger, is that by not reaching an agreement grain prices will be higher. Everywhere, including those places in which the price will not be affordable. Casually, many of those countries are friendly to the Ruzzian cause... for now. As for the economic effect in US, it will be positive, they produce grain like crazy and now they can sell it more expensive. Regarding Europe, the cost of food is not really a concern. Production and demand are quite controlled. RF inflation: Objective facts - USD=90RUB Russia notched a victory in the fight for influence over global oil markets in recent days when the price of the country’s most coveted crude traded above a Western price cap imposed to starve Moscow of funds for the war in Ukraine.Result - Financial pressure on RF. UA coverage - RF will financially collapse any second now, keep raising support for war effort. Cost of RF imports will skyrocket RF coverage - RF oil/gas exports are priced in USD but expenses state budget and military salaries are paid in RUB. So high exchange rate actually helps budget surplus. Food is local grown and denominated in RUB so no inflation, but iPhone imports will cost more. Now what's more worrying to me is all the recent ruckus going on around Poland. Seems the "west" has exhausted current list of available escalations, so a potential next step appears to be Poland making a bilateral defense pact with Ukraine and sending in their troops to UA (entering the conflict on their own "outside" of NATO framework). This would compensate all of the lost manpower in UA, yet supposedly keep NATO out of direct confrontation. Seems like RF is prepping Belarus, nukes, and general mobilization as a hedge against such development. Inflation: Are you clueless about what inflation is? You just throw there some economic non-facts and then say I am not doing enough effort to rebate? Gee dude... you need to try to have some self-criticism. This is not about coverage, this is about the interest rates (currently 8.5%, previously at 20%) that the RF has to keep so that they do not spiral into hyperinflation. The only person with a brain in the whole Ruzzian government is Nabiullina, but she can only do what she can. You know what is paying a mortgage nowadays at nearly 10%, that is more than double than 2 just two years ago? That is inflation. Escalations: Oh my friend, the "available escalations" are endless... ATACMS, F-35s, more F-16s, more Abrahms, ... The only reason this is not happening is because the US is absolutely fine with Ruzzia fighting this war and self-demilitarising the Soviet arsenals without any US soldier killed. The game of proxies is so old. I have said it over and over, there is a winner to this, but is not Ruzzia, is not Germany, is not Poland and is not Ukraine (may be in the future, not as of now). And China too - cheap oil right when they are in a crisis. |

So how does it feel for Russians to see two drones striking some buildings in the center of Moscow?I am sure they like it and Ukrainian counter offensive is going slowly but gradually having liberated another 16.4 km square in the south front last week.I don't understand the press statement of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia that name the attack as a terrorist attack by the Kyiv regime when in fact Russia is applying terror against Ukraine more than 1.5 year now,this is just plain Ukrainian response to terror and they should gain momentum and hit even further so Russian start thinking if the war is worth continuing or not as they are not getting anything.
You do realize that you made no attempt to argue that it wasn't terrorism from UA side, but instead just justified it as a response to another terrorism. Or do you not realize that terrorism is not mutually exclusive? My ministry of propaganda told me that the enemy blew up "our" kindergarten, so i was activated to blow up "their" kindergarten in response thus i'm not a terrorist logic?  And if you didn't consider your audience to be complete imbeciles, when stating how many square kms were "liberated", for a full picture and objectivity wouldn't you also include how many square kilometers were also "lost" on other fronts? It is not terrorism when you defend yourself and Ukraine has never mass killed civilians like Russian barbarians have done in Bucha,Irpin and Kharkiv.The Ukrainian army has never hit a maternity hospital killing innocent people,they have never bombed theater where it was clearly written "CHILDREN" in Russian language so what can justify these actions from Russian aggression and lately they even hit a Unesco heritage site in Ukraine,they commit a horrendous war crime every day. As for the square kilometers,Ukraine has reclaimed more than 50% of territories that they lost in the early stages of invasion,they will liberate every single inch of territory until Ukraine wins. Again, by definition terrorism is not dependent on whether you're defending yourself or not, or any further justifications. You really believe that an attempt to redefine terms helps your cause? Yes yes we all know, almost about to take Crimea back, right...i'll let you be. You are wrong, as usual. The drone attacks in Moscow were heading to the Ministry of defence. The MOd is a legitimate target as it is considered a key infrastructure that directly support the war effort of the RF. The systems that the RF uses to prevent this deflects and redirects the drones by interfering with them so they crash somewhere else nearby (at 300 meters to be precise), so you are accusing the RF of terrorism against the RF. Now that I think of it, you are right. Seriously speaking, there is little incentive for Ukraine to just hit some random building in Moscow. It just does not make sense - even if it was actually Ukraine (I have not seen official confirmation). Also as usual, no comment on the attacks at Odessa, which actually were not directed to any military or war related infrastructure, so ... yeah, speaking of redefining terms. And yet another gaffe - yes terrorism actually does depend if you are defending yourself: Example: The RF is not at war with the UK, but they send t wo guys to kill someone living in the UK. That is terrorism. If you are at war and that person is a military, is not - it is a legitimate target. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/07/23/europe/ukraine-russia-drone-attacks-hit-moscow-intl-hnk/index.htmlOne of the buildings seen damaged in footage geolocated by CNN houses the ministry’s military orchestra. It was not immediately clear if that had been caused by the drones.
The area also houses the Russian Foreign Military Intelligence, known as GRU, 26165 unit, which carries out cyber activities, according to multiple Western sources. It’s also in the vicinity of the Ministry of Defense’s National Defense Management Center.
Later Monday morning, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists that Russian air defenses had worked successfully. If you ask me, Russians have to understand that war is not that stuff that happens in the TV, but something that can actually go kaboom in you door. This may help. WOW so much to unpack there that I don't even know where to start, are you being sarcastic here?, it's hard to believe that this is all just a coincidence. First of all reread what i wrote and indicate which exact statement I am wrong about. What you're doing here is bringing up an arguments that the actual mark was a valid military target but due to some reason it happened to land in some unintended location. OK that's the default justification for every side in every modern conflict (rarely someone admits to terrorism). Then you hilariously do a flip and attempt to claim, that because RF deflected a missile on to themselves they are terrorists? Following such logic all SAM missiles UA launched as well as all intersected incoming RF missiles (which all must land somewhere right?) were also terrorist attacks from Ukraine onto Ukraine? Going even further Ukraine sending a missle to Poland and killing two Poles was a Ukrainian terrorist attack on NATO too? Then you appeal to logic making an argument that there is no incentive to hit random buildings, and how it doesn't make sense. (Sure, an argument that's also widely used by both sides). And then you turn around, contradict yourself and pretty much give a clear example of an incentive and why such a terrorist attack makes perfect sense and may help your political objective " Russians have to understand that war is not that stuff that happens in the TV, but something that can actually go kaboom in you door. This may help." terrorism, the calculated use of violence to create a general climate of fear in a population and thereby to bring about a particular political objective. Bravo, honestly I don't think i could've come up with a better example and a more typical justification for terrorism if i tried. And then somewhere in between you keep arguing with Encyclopedia Britannica to the definition of terrorism and how it should depend on defending yourself.  You are wrong in all your statements. See, you do not have to look for anything. My own statement does not justify attacking non-critical infrastructure nor acts of terrorism (which would be veeeery easy to carry out by Ukraine if they wanted). While it might even be a false flag, the fact is that the Ruzzian Mod is 300 meters from there.

If crypto would be gambling, the entire stock and forex market would be gambling too.
...
Which may actually be the case? Regulation as gambling would be interesting tax-wise. Or even treating bitcoin and other crypto assets as currency for tax purposes or commodities for tax purposes. I am not a tax expert, but you can actually convert fiats without much of a tax if I am not wrong. It would be nice to do so with bitcoin IMO and benefit from those reductions in costs. |

Most of what I am reading here is crap, and at the same time quite a bit is true. All the motivation, references to "sacred missions", problems with envy,... That is just coverup. The naked truth is that nations are always on a constant struggle to compete with each other, and that will continue while they exist.
Religion, Communism, "freeing the world" are just excuses to impose conditions to others. In the current situation, the Russian Federation needs Crimea to have a good access to the Mediterranean and for trade in general and that is the real reason of the war - if Ukraine aligns and allies with Europe / US, it is a matter of time that Sebastopol becomes an US base. Putin could not allow this.
The caveat on this reasoning is that Crimean and the "land bridge" are inhabited by people whose opinion matters nothing to Putin (and possibly not that much for the US). So... just a naked meatgrinder between the Mafia state that is the RF and the "Land of the Lobby" that is US.
This could be solved by having a proper European army and gaining a much higher degree of independence of Europe from US and having Ukraine freely deciding if they want to establish links with Europe. Western Europe is possible the most pacific and less imperialistic of the blocks in the world, because people still remember WW II and have no interest in repeating.
Europe is the path.

Most people are about similar stuff in terms of lift-up, family, friends, relationships, in essence the human touch. But there is something that is evident to anyone: hope. It is the hope that bad things will pass or come to an end, and that the future is always uncertain working in contorted ways to bring unexpected opportunities. If you are down, remember - things can get better, problems find ways of being solved.

Moving from your country of origin is highly advisable, even if you can make it for a couple of years and even better if you travel and work in at least 3 different places. It gives you a broader view of the world and there is always something to learn even if you go to a country that may be less developed or more "difficult" is always a growing experience.

It seems like every morning I wake up and read more terrible news about this war. Today it’s Ukraine’s ports being bombed. There are videos surfacing of captured Ukrainian troops saying they were threatened with jail if they didn’t fight. I don’t know how much longer we’re expected to pay for this horrible proxy war, but I for one don’t think Ukrainians should be forced to fight in it or face jail.
I think you should stop comsuming so much Russia propaganda if you're going to keep falling for it. @OgNasty, if you do not like "paying for this war" (I wonder if you have noticed that many "pay" with their lives)... if you do not like paying this I say, just figure out how much would you need to pay if going back to the Cold War. That is expensive, and much more since you have a much bigger China. US, Europe an Russia have had the dividend of peace, but you should not take that for granted if RF "wins" or looks to "win". What Is a Peace Dividend?
A peace dividend is an economic boost a country will get from a peace that follows a war. In theory, at that time the government can afford to reduce defense spending and reallocate the money to domestic policy priorities.
This assumes that the money recouped from defense spending is generally used for the good of society and human or sustainable development; projects that involve new housing, education, and healthcare, for example. |

As we know that most gambling sites will require you to gamble and wager your whole balance once, before you can cash out or withdraw from the gambling site and they take this measure so people do not do money laundering whereby deposit and withdraw without gambling.
Now the point here is that on the gambling site, there are many easy winning bets with odds like 1.01x etc. If the money lauder is sensible he can easily be wagering the whole amount by placing a few bets where the odds are very low and the winning chances are 99%.
So does this mean that there is a loophole here and the money launderers can easily by pass this wagering requirement?
To be honest, most people who need to "do the laundry" do accept that it carries some cost and that they will not recover 100% of their initial funds. It is simpler and more profitable to go and do some "chipmixing" and that usually will make the funds nearly impossible to track in crypto, which is usually more than enough for most purposes. For large quantities, other schemes are devised with property and real state. |

Everyone is free to give his own interpretation on women interaction with gambling but what we will all arrived at is that we cannot compare the rate of women participation to that of men in gambling, maybe we can give some reasons like how women were believed to be weaker vessels unlike men in most cases, their dedication and commitments to the house and the family especially in taking care of the children at home, lastly maybe our women may not have that boldness of taking risk associated to gambling because some depends on their earnings to take care of the family.
I agree, specially to the single mothers out there who will have to think about the family finances first. Moreover, women in general have a lot more things to buy and put their money to in comparison to men. I also think it has to do with a mindset that some women have which is -- gambling will be too much of risk for their hard earned money. yet they are also notorious overspenders in many cases. Is not like a general rule or annything, most people including women are careful with money, but sometimes they just feel like going shopping just to get distracted or meet a friend to go around to shops and talk about insubstantial stuff to relax and spend some money as a way of socialising. Not all women have that mindset at all. |

Artificial Intelligence was created as an aid to enhance the human ability and it would be very unfair if it's allowed to be used in casinos, not only that but also those casinos could go bankrupt because alot of people would see it as an opportunity you recover their losses
As for me, I want to believe personally that the use of artificial intelligence system in gambling under a particular casino will not be hundred percent effective andbthe out will not always be what the gamblers could expect, these AI were also programmed and has limit to the way they function and the extent they go far reach, if it had been that profitable then almost all the gamblers would have chose to make use of an artificial intelligence system to gamble and they won't have a cause to loose their games anymore, AI is more applicable is some areas of gambling and not best applied to making bet predictions. Perhaps this is more about collaboration between human intelligence and AI capabilities can lead to maximal returns as they would synergise the best of each world. People adapt, learn, etc,..., so we can be successful in challenges under varying circumstances an in complex environments, that is really part of our evolution as animals an humans. |

Bonuses and affiliate marketing can be challenging for regular individuals without a significant online presence or a large number of followers, however if you want to try to make some money out of it or perhaps play for free you have options like creating content, a youtube channel or provide some advice in a media that allows you to reffer. It is of no use trying to make it work if you do not put effort on it.

Haven't heard of any casino that has fixed wagering requirements in dollars. Most of the time (if not all the time), they require x1 or more of the deposit amount. So if you only deposited around $20, you'll just need to wager at least $20. On the other hand, if you deposit more, like $1000, you'll also need to wager that very same amount. Can you name a casino that has a fixed wagering requirement in USD? He mentioned a name of casino "betfury" but I did quick search in betfury, I cant find the information given by above user unless I missed it. I doubt what he said is correct, he must be misunderstanding the rules in betfury as it does not make senses if the wagering requirement for deposit is fixed to specific amount. It does not make senses because it will be unfair rule especially for small depositors. Hope he will come back to confirm, at least to tell us where did he find the information as what he mentioned previously. They do actually have an ANN thread on here if we do speak about Betfury. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5276159.0but checking out OP's trust feedback then i wont recommend on touching up this casino. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=2848599
As for wagering requirement, doesnt matter on what platform or site we are talking, they would really be sharing up on almost the same requirements or threshold for someone needed up to reach out for them to make out a withdrawal on what they had deposited. This had been always the typical terms and conditions on what most casino sites as of today because of that money laundering thing on which this had been common. High rollers, who make larger deposits and place bigger bets, might find it easier to comply with the wagering requirements respective to players who deposit smaller starting bags. This may actually be intended so that cassinos and sites filter to only the people who are actually in to play and not to run if they manage to break the odds very soon in their membership time. |

You would probably get a similar result if you ask about any other financial asset or investment vehicle - for some reason only a few women are attracted to the world of investing and to the world of bitcoin. It happens also with some disciplines like computing and Engineering, and I am not sure if this is because they just (at least most) are not attracted to it or because of the education.

you have to complete the question: When would you say is enough for ... what? That is the question that carries the answer in itself. What do you want your money for? To quit work, to enjoy a certain lifestyle or to create a fortune that goes on for generations. Perhaps the right advice is to set yourself a target and stick to it or else all the money in the world will not be enough for you, as it is human nature to always seek more.

Meanwhile, Ukraine seems to have lost access to the Black Sea. Physically, it is, but it is impossible or extremely difficult to use it. The naval blockade of Ukraine begins at 00:00 Moscow time on July 20, while nothing is known about the timing of the end of the blockade.
Oh, I see. So if an US ship and a Turquiyan ship decide to go to Odessa, the RF fleet in the Black Sea will go there and stop them / sink them? And then nothing will happen and no retaliation will take place because "the RF has decided to blockade". Is that what you mean? Is that how this plays out in your mind? So no more "smoking in the wrong place" accidents as a result? Anyway, this is more a marketing campaign more than anything else, possibly to distract from the situation in Bakhmut. |

If I were a Russian living in Crimea or other occupied territories I would start packing NOW.
Crimean Bridge is out of service, AGAIN. LOL.
Instead, crazy Russians seem pissed and volunteer for frontline in even bigger numbers Story about wounded girl that lost mother and father in attack is as good as FSB could ask for Of course Branko, everyone is useful for the mission right? I don't think the Russia-Ukraine conflict will end easily. Russia maintains war with Ukraine. On the other hand, Russia wants to take some parts of Ukraine for which they are continuing this war. Because if Russia can occupy some part of Ukraine then it is their own gain.
It has become a long term conflict, or at least it seems to becoming one, sadly. The only thing about it which I would call positive is the fact that Russia alone cannot hold a long term battle against Ukraine alone, for now the Klemlin depends on the support of their biggest ally: The popular Republic of China. If someone USA convinced or pressured Chine to stop their military and economical aid to Putin, then Russia would have it very difficult to continue their attacks, they already are getting in trouble economically being their cheap offer of energy a sample of it, in my opinion. Id wish this non-sense stopped right now, if possible... This caught my eye, think you have fundamental misunderstanding of the conflict, which puts you in a constant state of bewilderment as to why something is (or is not) happening. Your curios mind led you here for answers, but all the local clown "experts" (propagandists) can do, is to overwhelm you with irrelevant micro level information to sway you their way. Any macro questions are discouraged and just covered by "crazy orcs" or nazis, to dissuade any further questions. Look at US/NATO military bases around China, looks where major military build up is happening outside of Ukraine theater, look at blockade of Cuba that's still going on for 30yrs+ any if anyone really cares for the right of sovereign nations or its people, and current justifications for it. Then ask yourself how long would the commie regime last after the fall of Russia and the sudden onset of democracy cookies (soft power) onto Kazakhstan. Then the question whether the nation that coined such phrases as "death by a thousand cuts" and "If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by" can be convinced or pressured into stopping aid to Russia, should becomes irrelevant. As well as shed some light on why this counteroffensive was so drummed up, how it's really going, what will happen in about 8 weeks, mid September, once weather changes and any maneuvering becomes impossible and we revert back to positional arty scorched earth advances. Might also look into who historically benefits from the winter season. https://www.reuters.com/world/nato-open-japan-office-enable-indo-pacific-consultation-report-2023-05-03Nah, CCP government has no more resilience than the USSR did - do you remember or were you busy when it collapsed? China as any nation has interests and can be pressured and convinced (I think more convinced than pressured) if it is in their interest. China does not have any more attachment to the RF that it would to any other instrument, party, country or organisation. What I think is that China needs a strong Russia, to balance the US, and a balanced Russia that does threat with Nukes as a system of living (e.g. North Korea). Russia is not helping at all in any of these. China is relatively organised and is using the opportunity to look like a mediator and a country of peace. |

Correct, once the situation got resolve you start again to save your money, for sure you learn a lesson from your experienced.
However, we need to be able to save money, learning from experience is important, and in times of economic uncertainty, the emergency fund has been set up again. We don't know when the emergency will come up, but with the experienced we will start to
anticipate and we will allocate a certain amount to save.
It always comes unexpectedly, so anticipating is very important, don't spend too much money the way you save and a little aside for investment then it's the best solution when there is pressure again. It will help to avoid using your investment or your asset as you have dedicated savings
for any emergency it will cover the needs.
As much as possible it should be able to be separated between investment and emergency funds. Emergency fund is the first layer and Investment is the second layer to use, but if it can still be overcome by the first layer then the assets in the investment will remain safe for the long term. The key question is how expensive the lesson is going to be. Making mistakes is usual, part of life and will provide an example of how not to do things. However you need to calibrate the cost of making that mistake and learn the lesson and know what you don't know and how bad can it get in case you miss. Regarding inflation, the topic, getting it wrong is usually a very costly mistake that may end up with you having no home. |
