That would mean you have 50 million addicts, which I don't think is anywhere near reality.

Back to the 1% is really meaningless if you compare the whole population, one country could do with 10% of the population betting 10% of their income, and another country with half of their population betting 2% which in terms of personal finances is a 5x worse weight than in the previous case.
It's still better than raw terms like revenue vs GDP or something, but still imprecise, targeted by levels of income per household would paint a better picture but who has that data anyhow...

There is no strategy that can work flawlessly for everyone.
You are either lucky or unlucky, that is the end of it and all that matters.

Also, looking at RTP is meaningless. RTP is for all players, not for an individual. You could lose all the time while someone in Antarctica is winning all the time at the same game with the same bet. Just treat that money as bonus money for playing and not as a source of winnings, and have the usual fun with it.

When you lose 5-1 everything you say is looking like useless excuses, yeah, a 2-0 might be a fluke, a 3-1 , but when you get 5 goals from a team that is nowhere near the top you simply played bad, and the worst is still to come if you keep it like that.


Successfully getting one point by the teeth from Copenhagen? You can call that everything but success.
Bayer is on a slide where I don't see why the bookies would give them such favoritism over PSV, but gain Glatasaray is only 4x against Liverpool after those results, so, so probably I'm looking at a different reality with different teams here from another universe here.

He is talking about revenue, not handle.

It's catching up.
If you check the above statistics for states from the year next to legalization, you will see a barely 2x-3x increase in revenue, nothing even close to the initial momentum, so the growth will be there at least in pace with inflation, but it will not be the same as before, it's impossible mathematically, it would bypass the GDP of the US in a decade.


It has nothing to do with covid , growth was 6x between 2018 and 2019, the lockdown happened only in 2020.

No, let's think for real and objectively!
They copy pasted stuff without even thinking, and for sur, they haven't watched the game!

Pure example of signature spam material that has turned this board into a latrine where everyone is taking a word diarrhea dump!


Teams don't meet each-other twice and they don't play the same matches anyhow, so it doesn't matter how you won, the points matter.

Tottenham also has the advantage becuase he has defeated a team from pot 2, so tier 2, while they were in pot 3, lower. Tis means they still have 2 games against tier 1 and 1 game agsint tier 2, while Villareal has still 2 games agaisnt each of the top 1 and 2 tiers.

Villareal will still play agaisnt:  Manchester City   Borussia Dortmund   Juventus   Bayer Leverkusen
Totteham against:  Borussia Dortmund   Paris Saint-Germain   Villarreal   Eintracht Frankfurt

It's kind of hard to talk about "performance" when you get beaten by Cremonese, score a victory against Lecce, then play whatever that game with Bologna was, let's be honest here, it's better they are not in the CL nor in the UEFA this season, save a lot of embarrassment.


As much as I think Chivu was a mistake for Inter, the game itself was well beyond what a trainer could still keep under control tactically. Inter did play a good game, they played worse games last year in the Champions League and somehow managed to weasel their way in the finals. After all, it's still Juventus, not Frosinone

Beating Sevilla and Betis is different from meeting Arsenal, especially since it's just a month and a bit since Arsenal beat them 3-0 in the friendlies, not to mention the two losses against Liverpool on the 4th.
I might be wrong on this and probably regret it later on but to me the odds for both Newcastle and Arsenal are way to high for the risks, my opinion they are overselling the Spanish teams right here, I know I'm pushing it, but a 1.5 asian on both PL teams for 10x odds in a double parlay seems mroe valuable than the usual risks.

In football, is hard to do it and get away with it, one goal usually can mean the difference between a win and a draw, and players risk too much, also, it becomes pretty obvious who is trying to play below their form, in basketball with points if you have the two top scoarers on baord it's way easier, two players can nearly miss on purpose two times, that's 12 points in football an atatcker that misses the goal by 5 meters can mistake it the other way around and score when he wasn't plan to do it  

Besides, we're talking about college basketball here, not NBA.

It's a common thing in horse racing, especially when you have a low odds-on favorite running at 1.10, 1.15.
It makes little sense risking that much money on it to get something reasonable, meanwhile, it might be far more rewarding to try and find cracks in the favorites timeform and current race, betting against them all the time will surely not end well, but taking horses 11:1 to 20:1 for an each way or if you think se is not beatable but you know the other two contenders go for a trifecta instead.

Another thing is exacta where you know that although he has no chance of winning the second horse would still beat the others, more like a h2h bet but with better odds than just placing for each one of them.

It's best applied with horses that can deliver but haven't done lately, so any small change in the ground, jockey stable distance can make a difference.

You mean completely unlucky!
Record possession of over 80%, more shots, blocked shots and goal kicks than Chelsea and Brentford combined and so on.
Burnley played the parked truck tactics and hoped for the best, no other team will try these tactics in a real game against Liverpool. Arsenal didn't play this way and still was toothless against Liverpool last time, there is zero chance any major team will try to defend themselves 90 minutes and have the same luck as Burnley in the CL. Other than Juventus and maybe Inter I don't know a single major team that can actually play this anti game stuff.

Last year they beat Valencia in the first round 2:1, now they beat them 6:0, how would the last season be more impressive when the result right before your evaluation is one order of magnitude better than last year?
One draw and suddenly they were better last year?


And last time in round 3 they also barely beat Vallecano 2:1 after being led 1:0 till the 60 minute and scoring in the last 5 minutes of the game for the victory, in 2022 they only managed a draw 0:0 right in the first match and still managed to win LaLiga, too much importance given to one game.

Hamburg has been the punching bag of the Bundesliga even before their relegation, out of curiosity, I went through their stats and had to go till 2011 to see one season where they had a positive goal difference, that's one team to consider when looking for goals scored bets, the only problem is that with how Bundelsiga is right now, here aren't thta many teams that score themselves that much, no matter how weak the opponest is.


Wait for at least 10 matches, if not a full season, to judge that price, looking at what Byaern paid for players, the sums are all over the place compared to what they actually achieved.

Statistically speaking, if you play hundreds of parlays and you cash out in the middle, like 10x instead of 20x, or even in one quarter 5x instead of 20x, after hundreds and hundreds of tickets the amount won by cashing out early will converge towards the maximum amount you could have won, it might look impossible at first when you think that you could have made 1000x of a tikcet but long term that luck will come around and cashign early jus a fraction of that but multiple times will even the playfield.

Best way to deal with it mentally? Insurance bet to protect you from a total loss in the last round, getting half will always be better for your feelings than losing all.

Strongest? Not even close, still cannon fodder.
Lens is no longer the team from 2022 when they managed to give PSG a fight for the title till the last round, the real test is Marseille, the next round, a match between two CL rounds, that would be something that would show if there are any cracks in the team, but I doubt it.
PSG was 1.33 with Lens, 1.9 with Marseille, a completely different setup.

But still, even if they fail to win every single game, the Ligue 1 is still a one-team league, it's PSG and the rest scrambling for a bit of fame when PSG does a wrong step.

Bruh...
Bayern won the Bundesliga last time with two rounds to spare, with only two defeats, it reached the quarters in CL, losing 3-4 on aggregate against Inter. Getting shape? You talk like they were some mid-tier team fighting for the 4th place or something.
Last year, after 3 rounds, Byaenr had 9 points now they have 9 points, it's the same thing as last time.
Hamburg is a newcomer they beat them 5-0 in the 3rd round, last year they beat Kiel 6-1 in the same 3rd round!!!!

They are 2x odds, the other top teams are 4,5 and 8!
Napoli beat Fiorentina, ok, I'll give them that, and ....Cagliari and Sassuolo....any of those two some top team that a win agsint them means something?
Napoli did not play a single top-tier game in the friendlies, they beat Girona, lol, and lost to Brest.
Compare that to the games Juventus played, also beating Dortmund and Atalanta in friendlies and tell me again why would Napoli be 2:1 and Juventus 5:1 for the title?

I just love how real is doing things, apart from the Oviedo match, it keeps winning by a single goal, but most importantly, it's a win, either in 10 men or with goals denied or with VAR against them but it keeps getting those 3 points not that I can see Barca failing to win against something like Valencia in the current state ut I would laugh my ass out if it happens.

Oh, and unrelated, Girona finally got 1 point, I still can't figure out how they made it to the CL last year where they also ended with 3 points, I guess this year relegation is closer than ever.

Well, those are odds are just insane. 3 games and you have Napoli at 2x while Inter and Juve at 4-5x? And then Milan at 8x?
Common, this is bs, this much of a change in the odds just because...what?
Napoli beat Fiorentina and Inter was defeated in an insane game by Juventus?
Fiorentina drew with Cagliari and Torino, hardly anything spectacular to say Napoli achieved something by beating them, and Inter wasn't really defeated in a way that you could say they are out of form or something.

I'm seriously thinking of taking some odds against the 2x Napoli is doing, probably right after the Pisa match when the same bookies will lower than even more.

Yeah no...
You, Loycev, Pmalek with your gpu cards and me with my broken s19 that lies in the corner, could all mine Bitcoin and keep mining decentralized, while Philip would be able to revert blocks after we mined for 100 years with his asic farm.  Would you feel secure if you knew anyone with a million dollars could buy enough gear to attack the network? I can already see the next MrBeast episode!


The average Joe will not spend a dime for this, he will always ask others to pay for it, and from there you force the big bag holders to subsidize the security, which means the security depends on those with huge interests in the price and I have a feeling I've already seen this system in place 

Also, when I'm talking about an attack, I'm not talking about reverting a transaction from ages ago, but making the chain a pain in the ass to use, tumbling the price of BTC, making more miners leave, and lowering the hashrate making the attacks more successful. You don't even need 51% to cause havoc, you just need timing, from block 914604 to 914609 ViaBTC with 10% of the hashrate mined 5 blocks but we're fine since it's mega farms behind this that have no incentive to do so, now, if this could be achieved with a guy from Australia with 100 S21 in his basement that is pissed at the original non-SV vision, how would you feel?


I told you, the block in question was 910440
https://mempool.space/block/00000000000000000000d22167aa0c9d1a49e7878631d6c93ea1b1c87b98ba24


Ck calculated that fees under 1sat/vb were just ~220.
15% (my bad, not 13%) from total fees, and 0.059% of the total reward

Well, in other good news, or is it bad news? Fees of 0.29 are still getting confirmed with 30 blocks of jpgs waiting in the line 
I wonder if I should inscribe a block of my own, for as low as $500 per block, to be remembered for ages in the chain.... sounds tempting,

Nookies have the edge against the whole bet put by all bettors.
They don't have a single edge against an individual!

I seriously don't understand how in this forum people still can't treat cases differently, casinos always making money doesn't mean everyone loses, it's just that the amount people lose is bigger than the amount they win, nobody is strictly sharing those losses like 10% of everyone's pocket!

And again, for god's sake, we have tens of sites with thousands of punters with free to check bets and history, it's complete nonsense to deny the fact that some are making money out of their bets!
