Casinos offer all sort of bonuses and most of reputable ones offer ongoing bonuses.I don't know for most casinos and their birthday bonus but at Stake during 2 birthdays I have had there as a member of them for such time I got really nice bonuses as I was a Vip level once Bronze the lowest status and go 25 dollars for my birthday while when I was Silver another level I got 50 dollars as bonus and to me these type of amounts look great.Who gives you 50 dollars nowadays for your birthday,no one most likely.

You have named top tiers scandals which have made the news and history of football yet most of the problems happen in lower leagues and they go unnoticed as no one cares for a result in Norway division 7.So the defense is to not bet on these lower leagues.

For the scandals for me as a football fan the biggest scandal up to date is Calciopoli where Luciano Moggi had bought many referees to favor Juventus in many games,so had done also other big teams managers there.There is no bigger scandal than this in my opinion.

The Premier League has become more interesting than ever during this season and Liverpool is the best team which I have no doubt about it as they are the most performing and most consistent team.Based on this fact I find it highly unlikely that this is going to change in these remaining weeks.I know Manchester City is in great shape and they have the best players yet they have made so many mistakes so far that they need a paramount work in order to have a chance to overtake Liverpool in the standings.

Congrats to hilariousandco for winning the Round 22 Yellow Cap

Congrats to our pool captain.Now I realize we are already past round 22 and this very weekend we are going to have weekend 23 which means it is already taking shape who is most likely to end in a winning position.Unfortunately for me it seems as I am stuck in the 32-35th range from quite some time and quite some distance in points with the prize spots.There is still time though to save the season if we happen to have some consecutive positive weeks.

Personally, I don't understand this move at all, on both sides. Ferrari is getting an ageing, albeit experienced, driver, presumably for a lot of money, but we've seen it all before at Ferrari and in very few cases has it gone well. And I don't think Hamilton can become world champion again at over 40, and Ferrari has had problems with the car or the strategy for years.

Age in F1 or motorsport is not really a problem.

Look at Alonso or Sainz Senior winning the Dakar at the age of 60.

Sure is not  a determining factor but of course in F1 age has a big impact and plays a big role in performance.The fact that Alonso does not win any battle against really talented drivers (also because of not having the best car) shows that age makes a huge differences when it comes to reflexes.Also Schumacher when he got old and was driving Mercedes at the age of 41 he did not win anything.Now we see Verstappen having the best car but also being one of the young drivers on the grid.

Risk and reward goes side by side as that saying says the higher the risk the higher the reward.However this is not for everyone as most people are not keen on risking more than that they can afford to lose and as such these persons are always complaining about how they are never winning big enough.The real winners who win big are the ones losing consistenly for a long period of time until one time they hit it big when they never expect it.

It will be hard for Atlectico to beat Inter Milan because Inter Milan are in better form than Atlectico. Inter Milan are in very good form, so for Atlectico to beat them, it will be hard, and it will even be a tough match for Atlectico. If you check the league, you mention which seria A you clearly stated that Inter Milan are topping, which means it is their performance that takes them there, so you can see that the match won’t be so stressful for Inter Milan as I’m thinking they also try their best to deliver positively here, so let’s wait and see how the match goes, but I’m sure Inter Milan will concur with Atlectico because Atlectico are just doing well in the La Liga and they are even topping the standings while Intee Milan are doing that in the seria A.

Inter are currently in very good shape and are confidently leading the way, I think they will be able to beat this match, even though Atlético has been very productive lately, but still the game is not going as well as Atlético’s away game, worse at home, even though goals are scored, in general, I see a confident victory for Inter here

I think both teams are in good shape in their domestic leagues and of course Inter is better in the sense that have more quality players than Atletico if compared individually each player.This does not mean anything though as the Champions League elimination stages are only two games played and any team can perform really well in such specific games so you never know what to expect of this game.This game has only one sure thing and that is,it is going to be a beautiful one to watch and enjoy.

I know that the majority of sports that that are popular are played by men and most times we don't really support female going into gambling but I'm thinking if it wouldn't be nice that we have a thread that talks about female football and other sports just like the way we have EPL discussion and other specific discussions.

Their is a lot of serious event happening in the female sports sphere and I'm hoping because we have both male and female gamblers in the forum,  it would also be fair to have a particular thread that talks about that.

If that will be okay then I can edit this thread so it can be used to talk about the recent happening in the world of female sports.

The reason there is no such thread yet as anyone is free to open it is because usually gamblers and fans of football,the vast majority of them like to watch men football more.The reason is because this football has been developed much more and much earlier in time and people are used to it while the female football is relatively new and honestly if you see the results of most games you will see a big goal difference meaning the quality of such games is relatively low compared to men football.
949  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: To what extent have you hated yourself due to your gambling losses? on: February 02, 2024, 08:44:51 AM
Let me start by asking a question that is not very much different from the topic..

In your entire gambling journey, have you ever had a series of losses to the extent you hated yourself so much for being so unlucky?

I was going through reddit in the early hours of today, and came across a user who lamented bitterly through his post, of how unlucky he has been in gambling in the past few weeks, like almost a month now, he said he bets minimum, twice every day, but have not won a dime for the past weeks, and this made him hate himself so much, I sincerely felt pity for him, for I remember one time I lost a huge sum of money to betting, I felt so bad that I thought of killing myself  Grin.

So, let's share our worst gambling experiences, have you ever hated yourself so much due to lack of winnings in gambling? To what extent, and how did it end?

Do you still hate yourself even now?  Grin

Lets discuss.

I never have hated myself for losing in gambling as no one forced me into it.It was my decision to go there and try my luck and when you lose trying your luck there is nothing wrong.What is wrong though in my opinion is that the slot providers never tells us real time RTP and they give us a fixed one which no one can really explain it in a human understandable way.

I feel a bit sad and maximum I blame myself for taking that decision that time but I never hated or hate myself for gambling.
950  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling addiction does more harm than mere financial loss on: February 02, 2024, 07:54:20 AM
Gambling addiction has been known to be associated with serious funds loss, bankruptcy, unsettled loan involvements, properties auctioning and other irritable financial behaviors that depicts frustration and desperations from the victims.
A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

Everything written here is true and that is why the true gambling addiction can only be cured with professional help.A mere financial loss is already happening before the person has fallen in gambling addiction,for one person to become addicted it is needed for him to have quite some consecutive losing sessions.

The family is the one who feels the most heavy suffering from the addiction and the addicted person should be the one himself asking for help in order to save his family otherwise is a sure thing that with gambling addiction he will end up alone.

The question is in the subject  Kiss I’m genuinely just curious if people are still interested in this because I believe it’s a good way to “HODL” your bitcoin.

I don't know if I got the question right but I think you are asking to invest your balance in some casino which offer to give you something in return.Unfortunately very few casinos offer such a service now and this must be because of people not being that much interested anymore in such option.

If you want to increase your bankroll there are wallets who offer you staking to your coins and there is no time amount in some of such wallets.
952  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Viewpoint of a fan gambling on: February 01, 2024, 09:38:40 AM
When I saw a survey indicating that the majority of voters chose the player that only a handful of experts expect to win over the player that has proven to be more dominant, it blew my mind.

I am talking about the boxing match between former champion and big star Anthony Joshua and mma star Francis Nganou. However, I remember not long ago I refused to place a wager on Real Madrid because I desired Girona to win La Liga. In addition, wagering against the Los Angeles Lakers when matched with the best NBA teams is difficult for me.

I want to find out if there are individuals like me. What percentage of the gamblers in Bitcointalk are wagering and not wagering to their dearest star player, club and team?

That is quite common and you should not be surprised to know that quite a lot of surprise results happen otherwise casino/sportbooks would be diminishing day by day and not growing like they are doing.I rarely bet against the favorite yet I am also greatly dissapointed when I see surprise results in tennis,NBA which happen with really low odds and also in soccer where the odds are a bit higher.This unfortunately won't change and we should not be surprised because these results will be here to stay.
953  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your multi-bet (paroli) strategy? on: February 01, 2024, 08:51:03 AM
People that gamble in sports will know that grouping your bets in a single slip (often called paroli) is a way to increase the odds on your stake. The massive downside this has is that if you make even a single wrong prediction, your whole stake at the given betting slip is counted as a loss.

The big advantage multi-bets can have is that it can lead to extremely high multipliers even if many bets with small odds are combined.
So I'm wondering if people out there have a certain multi-bet strategy.
For me I'm trying to figure out if there's a good strategy for multi-bets but it's not something that easy.
Good thing is that when playing with high odds, let's say chasing 10x multibets, it's ok to have a losing slip every so often.

If you go for odds that are 10x for instance, if you win more than 1 in 10 times you are still earning more than you're losing. Might sound easy but it's not. Cheesy
Luckily crypto bookmakers allow very small bets so it's easy to experiment.
So, anyone else here playing with multi-bets? Any strategies?

There are a lot of strategies to implement and try and any gambler has his own strategy which the gambler thinks that will work better.That 1 in 10 time with odds 10 is surely a difficult one as grouping games to make the odd 10 to go for low odds need quite some games and to put high odds with fewer games the risk is even higher.
I use a nice strategy some times I choose 2 games and place 4 bets,I group the games in 1/1 in one ticket and then so on 2/2 both games in another then 1 ticket with 1/1 one game and 2/2 the other and the last one 2/2 and one 1/1.The odds as a minimum are over 10 as I choose games with odds 2-4.

This is one of the crucial thing in order to gamble without having issues on how you can sustain your gambling habit. The problem for some gamblers are, they are confident playing even they don't have job or a side hustle and just relying in gambling to double their money. Sometimes they even resorting to taking a loan just to gamble.

Hence, before deciding to gamble your money. Be responsible enough to look for a stable job to prioritize the needs of the family. This way you can also set a budget for your leisure.
It's human nature to only want what's good. just want to earn more money by gambling. Don't even think anymore about financial management for family needs. and usually in cases like this, they only depend on their gambling earnings and don't even work seriously to get better money or at least cover their losses.

What these type of persons have in common is that usually they are completely unreliable and most likely their families have already left them.When I used to work in a casino/sportbook many years ago these type of persons were staying there from morning to evening,they were lying to themselves that they were going to be rich as they thought of themselves as experts.Unfortunately in the end people did pity them as they were a failure in life.That is why is super important to have a job to live a good life.

Yesterday was a good night for people who bet.It was one of the rare occasions where all the favorites won their games and two of them had really good odds while playing at home.Not only that but also the fact that most other well known type of bets came through like both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.I won all my tickets yesterday which is also a very rare event and I look forward to more nights like these in Premier League.

I think the Bitcoin price prediction is still above $40k - $45k and it seems like those who predict below $40k have not been lucky even though there is still a chance for the next few hours, but it seems Bitcoin is still consistently above $40k only getting Outcome Odds of no more than 2.00 no What's more, I can at least double my bitcoin so I can use it for other sports bets as usual or withdraw the winnings straight away and try to buy FUN tokens to add to the contents of my bag in my account. Wink

The price of bitcoin is still at the price level of $42k - $43k, it seems that it will last for a few hours or until January 31, so the winner will be determined for the bitcoin price prediction at $40k - $45k, coincidentally bet more at that level because it is enough It's convincing if you look at the daily charts that since yesterday the Bitcoin price has been gradually rising but not too high slowly until now, still waiting for February 1st to see the winnings of my bet on the Bticoin price prediction, including ethereum too.

Yep, the BTC price is holding steady in the range of $40k to $45k, and there is no chance of it dropping below $40k, considering there are literally hours left until the end of January. Personally, my bets are going to lose this time because I placed it in the ranges of $35k to $37.5k and $37.5k to $40k. In fact, I assumed correctly that the BTC price would go below $40k, but I didn't expect it to recover back so quickly.

I think betting on the range is a fun thing to do regarding Bitcoin price as it keeps you in the mood.Personally though I almost never bet on such ranges,I love to invest money in sure things like buying FUN tokens or adding additional balance to my Freebitco.in balance in Bitcoin and earning passive interest,this way I also get the benefits of Premium member and keep rolling the WoF daily,take profit from the buy/sell feature of FUN when the circumstances permit it and also earning passive income through the interest,lots of choices from this website,we only need to have some balance to invest in here.
957  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 31, 2024, 10:10:03 AM
Gladbach were able to resist Leverkusen somehow last week despite that horrible performance. But on this week I don't think they can resist Bayern Munich the same way. When we look at their most recent results between we can see Bayern Munich struggling to win against them. They were even able to score only 1 goal for example.

However I expect Bayern Munich to break out of this same cycle. They would really make use of a big win as well because of having some struggles recently. I think Kane will score at least one goal in this one as well. I'm still curious about whether he can break the goal record in a season in the Bundesliga.   Huh

Bayern Munchen is a derby for Munchengladbach team and they have made quite some upset results against Bayern Munchen.This is why I believe it won't be very easy for Bayern Munchen as in a derby game any result is acceptable and the rankings in the table are not that relevant.Of course the quality of the players can make a difference yet nothing is assured in such type of games and that plays in the advantage of Leverkussen who will face Darmstadt at home.

There is nothing impressive at all about AS Roma's two wins in Serie A against mediocre teams because yes, those two mediocre teams are also currently only in the lower zone there in the Serie A table. Also, although AS Roma managed to win but ya, the reality is that AS Roma can still concede to against mediocre teams and therefore, there is no impressive result for AS Roma in this moment.

Unless, if AS Roma manages to win big with a clean sheet and also, the opponent is an elite Serie A team then it will be impressive. But at this moment, there is still no guarantee that AS Roma will get good results in the Europa League. Although indeed, AS Roma only played against Feyenoord but ya, obviously playing in the Europa League will have a different tension and there is no definite guarantee for De Rossi to be able to provide good results for AS Roma here in the Europa League.
Winning games is always valuable, no matter who they beat, because, at least, it doesnt drop their morale to be lower than before. The positive impact of a win on team morale is contributing to a positive atmosphere within the squad. The weakness of the team can also be analyzed after a win. Winning against Salernitana may be not special, but It's a positive sign of a new coach making an impact through his efforts, because early success is importance, no matter how small it is. It signals that the team is responding to the coach's strategies and adapting positively to changes.

Such wins, even against perceived weaker opponents, can be instrumental in building confidence and cohesion within the squad. Setting a high bar for success, such as defeating an elite Serie A team with a clean sheet, is not fair for brandnew coach. Regarding Europa League match against Feyenoord, It will be a real test for De Rossi. European competitions bring unique challenges, and a team's performance can evolve over the course of the tournament. Football is dynamic, and early successes can indeed serve as building blocks for improvement.

A team from the Serie A can always be thought as a strong team when competing in European competitions and strange enough despite they having changed coach they have got 2 victories in their domestic league.This is very important to build up the form and to be in perfect condition now that the Europa League games will resume in February.Now only strong teams have remained and it is paramount for Roma to be in a great performance to have a chance to fight against these strong teams.

Fixed matches do exist and they are common in low quality leagues or very low divisions of countries with great football yet they surely cannot be found distributed on predictions sites by some random dude.They keep it themselves,they are bet on by a small,very small circle that has the adequate info and they make money for themselves.Of course there are betting limits so the bets are dispersed on different bookmakers.That is how it works.
960  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: gambling for fun vs gambling for the financial benefit. on: January 31, 2024, 07:10:13 AM
We know, we also say that gambling is only for fun it's right. But in the end most of the gamblers I assume they do gamble for financial benefits. Once someone gambles for financial benefits and depends on gambling win/lose to livelihood means he is gambling-addicted.
I can't truly just accept the fact that gambling is actually for fun, we lose our money when gambling so meaning we just enjoy wasting our money even if we have nothing to do with it. On the other hand, anyone who actually does it as a means of earning financially to be able to meet up with cost of living is actually becoming an addict.
Gambling is more like investing in some Altcoins, if it happens to give profits fine and if it doesn't also good but we don't also say we rely on our Altcoins investment to carryout expenses on our cost of living.
I don't agree if gambling is equated with altcoin investment. because altcoins still have clear programs and good management. different from gambling which only relies on the luck factor.
Or is it possible that the altcoin investment you mean here is investing in memecoin?

Gambling is never for fun only no matter where the money comes from.I know of many people who say they gamble for fun but deep down that is a lie which I also say to myself to continue gambling.If all people who said they are gambling for fun they would be using the play for fun feature and not with real money,so let's not lie to ourselves,we only play to win more money.
