A general question guys, how much did Ronaldo got for going to play in beautiful Saudi Arabia? I am not talking about the official published figures of the contract and all that stuff, I am talking about what deals are not known to the public. I'll explain: Saudi Arabia is fine with moving money through informal networks and do whatever they need to buy the people they need.
Could this potentially even affect the reputation of Real Madrid?

Apparently, the RF Chief Psychos think that it is a great idea to make their young unprepared and sometime enslaved soldiers sleep on top of the gun-shells, just in case someone tries to steal them I guess.
Any RF soldier must know how little they care about them dying - there is a lot of people in the RF that are spendable to them.
It's kinda surprising that they admitted significant casualties ("Moskva" sailors say hi from their new submarine assignments). Aside from the convulsively absurd revenge propaganda (we destroyed the evil HIMARS! and killed 100500 Ukrainians!), Russian MOD also figured out who's responsible for the Makiivka attack... it's the soldiers themselves because they used cell phones and Ukrainians triangulated them. The relatives of the deceased must be thrilled with these findings. As if cramming so many people, vehicles, and ammunition into one building wouldn't be noticeable from any drone or satellite... but they can't possibly blame their glorious generals of being so negligent after months of Ukrainian strikes on ammunition depots etc, can they. Oh, and some deluded Russian "senator" seems to imply that this attack is a NATO-supported crime against Russian citizens. If even a "senator" is not aware that they're at war, then what can we expect from ordinary consumers of Kremlin fairy tales like Veleor. The theory of the soldiers using their phones and being spotted is technically very dubious, not impossible though. A phone can typically reach an antenna at less than 50 miles, but probably can be detected at 60 miles with proper equipment. I would say in the is the range of the possible. However, I think is much more likely that military communications themselves are detected. If they were not encrypted, well, it does not get any easier to hit munitions and kill anyone around them. If they were encrypted but geolocated, there is still a good chance that they are interpreted as movement, simply by the volume of communications on the area. My guess: an increment of comms in the area are detected, this is brought to the attention of "the eyes of the heavenly gods" which may have confirmed supply convoys, too much unexplained movement of vehicles or, if the RF army is stupid enough - and we have seen plenty of that - plain sight supply operations. We may have not seen the last of this. There are thousands of troops and depots in HIMARS 80km range. In fact I wonder how many of these cases go unannounced. There seems to be some RF soldiers smoking where they should not in Sebastopol. https://t.me/Pravda_Gerashchenko/58861On the "crystal ball" I can see that the numbers of RF troops in the south are thinning. I would not discard an Ukrainian advance in the general direction of Melitopol from Zaporilla. A less likely one, a push from Kherson to create a perimeter, strategically convenient but hard to execute. |

 Ordinary day in Ukraine Ordinary day in Ukraine  BTW it seems that a HIMARS strike aimed (probably) to a munitions depot has also killed between 62 (official RF figure) and 300 (Ukrainian estimate) soldiers. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukraine-shells-donetsks-makiivka-hitting-military-quarters-officials-2023-01-01/Jan 2 (Reuters) - Russia said on Monday that 63 Russian soldiers had been killed in a Ukrainian New Year's Eve attack on their quarters, triggering furious criticism of the military leadership from lawmakers and pro-war bloggers.
Footage posted online showed a building purported to be a vocational college in Makiivka, a city in the Russian-controlled part of Ukraine's Donetsk province, reduced to rubble. Apparently, the RF Chief Psychos think that it is a great idea to make their young unprepared and sometime enslaved soldiers sleep on top of the gun-shells, just in case someone tries to steal them I guess. Any RF soldier must know how little they care about them dying - there is a lot of people in the RF that are spendable to them. |

Thank you so much for this wonderful topic, I truly appreciate because I have a lot to talk about on this topic, our life ends as we keep silent to those things that matters, I suggest trump should be in a permanent prison, he should just face what he has commit in the nation, there is no too much questions for someone who is against the rules and regulations of the nation, trump is not obeying the rules, and his bringing violence to the society, my opinion is that a fast reaction is needed to take before trump now.
So, you think Trump did bad things? He didn't do anything nearly as bad as the presidents of the last 3 decades. But he did hundreds of good things. See a short (dozens) list of them here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5313290.msg60834577#msg60834577. You don't get it. Trump did not do "bad things", he broke the law as it is written and as it is intended to be enforced. It does not matter if other people broke or did not breal the law in the past and it does not matter if you agree with him or consider him someone of value. It is about having rules and following them. The guy is so used to doing whatever he wants since he was a child that does not even know right from wrong anyway. |

May I ask where would young Brits are thinking of going? I mean, the IMF is speaking of a simultaneous recession in China, EU and US. Most of the world is about to have two consecutive quarters of negative growth. If you think of it, the UK may actually be one of the less worse places to be, as even when the economy is not great, there is still a certain living standard.

^^^ They really don't have an answer. The few documents that Trump had under lock and key, are nothing compared to the docs and other criminal activities that Obama's doing even today. He actually stole thousands of government documents, over 300 of them were classified. You don't know that he stole them, and I believe that he had the right to take them (if he did) and maybe the duty. Fortunately, the law does not care about "what you believe" or if you "think is right", it is in written and only a judge - someone who actually understands the law and cares about it - can up to a point decide on interpretation. Everything points out at your loved leader (I am starting to think he may be your dad), broke the official secrets law by taking documents that were in point A, where they belong, to point B, where they do not belong. That is illegal, period. If proven, he has broken the law - and really important one. |

Double standard? No, the standard in US has always been the same: good lawyers require 1000 an hour plus. If you have them, the public prosecution will fear you to the point of accepting any ridiculous deal to avoid spending tons of public money that may go to waste. If the case is clear and your funds are blocked, the system will roll over your ass without any problem.
Sarcasm apart, the case is very clear and there has to be an exemplary public punishment to it.

Congratulations! You have built the post with the largest length to rational thinking ratio of the thread. I could even say one of the most propagandistic despite the lack of style and effectiveness. Most of you assertions are wishful thinking... "when Ukraine runs out...", "when Ukrainians realize this or that"... As I said in many posts, patience is important for people who think like you. You can spend lots of time waiting for all of that to happen. Or you whole life waiting for it sometimes. As of now, none of the facts show any ability from the RF to reach objectives others than wanton destruction and other war crimes and crimes against humanity. No military achievement that could remotely match the death toll and the economic impact for the present and the future. Keep up the trolling, you are doing a favour to Ukraine. ...
be, you are dreaming. Only with an increase of a 1% of GDP in military spending in the EU the military power of Europe would surpass the RF. And that is happening already - guess thanks to who.
Not to mention the abundant evidence given by the RF not having most of the claimed capabilities, the number of vehicles, the technology, the manufacturing capacity... This war has evidenced that the RF army is unable to reach any objective even against a theoretically inferior enemy, with a weaker economy and a bad starting strategic situation.
For example, and I take this with a "pinch of salt", a brit general recently declared: "I am going to inform Putin of something that his generals do not dare to say: You do not have enough artillery shells for fighting". An American sources says that there's a "critical shortage" of shells and even other war "staples".
Instead of dreaming of the great Russia, you should be waking up to the harsh reality of a broken system.
I just realistically assess the situation, it seems you are dreaming and fantasizing here. Europe is now almost completely demilitarized, its armories are almost empty. She would be happy to increase the supply of military aid to Ukraine, but she cannot. And an increase in military spending by 1% of GDP does not solve this issue in the near or even more distant future, because GDP percentages cannot shoot. And Europe cannot accelerate military production, because it is in a state of severe energy shortage and is more concerned about how to survive this winter on the accumulated gas reserves in storage facilities, and then how to fill these storage facilities again by next winter. Europe is not able to defend itself, it is forced to rely on an external security guarantor. Today it is the USA, tomorrow it may be Russia. Europe will fall under anyone who turns out to be stronger and spreads her legs herself. After the Second World War, this position is familiar to her. ... be, the GDP of Russia is equivalent to the one of just Italy. The manufacturing capacity of Europe is and order of magnitude above the RF. There is no scenario whatsoever in which the RF gains any short of control over Europe, even if the US decided to do nothing. GPD percentages are effectively what you need to pay for a war. Europe has no shortage of manufacturing capacity, several times in excess of anything the RF may dream of. If you are arguing that the RF could win a war of attrition, you are severely mistaken. These are hard data and facts. Apart from data, your assertions collide with reality. The RF advance was slowed, stopped and then turned back because the RF does not have the logistics to carry on with the war. |

by doing calculations with economic experts they have disvored next prices.
If you live in generally canada you should earn at least 3500 in order to function normally.
Euro zone it's about 3500 EUR
In USA it's varied but If you live in los Angeles or new York it's a 7000$ + for sure
In UK London is more expensive but its about 4000 + for sure.
The goverment should restrict prices of rent for example If you rent out the Property goverment should check what could be the price of rent so to make sure person who rent will not use most of the work salary for rent
If we talking about countries like Norway where food price Are very high then Norway minimum wage should be atleast 100,000 NOK + it's about 10,000$ value.
Business who dont comply with minimum wage rules should get highest penalty and not allowed to operate anymore.
If person have more skills and experinces then salary should go up immediately otherwise penalty for company.
If we do this then instant paradize all around the world
No, you do not need 3500 per month I assume to live in the Eurozone. There is in fact nothing like the wage of the Eurozone, as the regions vary greatly in prices and income. Southern Italy, Greece, regions of Spain and even in France allow people to live even with 1200 Euros a month (no luxuries). Some people manage to do so with 900 a month. So those numbers do not make sense as they are. There are thousands of people (I dare to say millions) living in London on less than 2000. Regarding rent prices, restricting is not the solution, but rather building more houses and having social housing. |

If you are in twenties or early thirties and remain single, earn $3,000 after tax per month, you will probably save $1,000 if you, let's say, spend $500 to $800 on rental, a guest bedroom in a shared house/apartment, $500 on food, $50 on utilities, $150 on phone/internet bills, $400 on commuting costs or gas/maintainance if you have a used car, $200 on occasional entertainment or others. This $1,000 savings will allow you to invest or place a house down payment when time is ripe. Is this possible based on where you live ?
Of course, with those numbers anyone could save not just 30% but probably 50% if that were the objective. The problem of people who do not save is, most of the times, that their income is not great. I am not saying that earning a lot means you'll save, because you can manage to spend it, I am saying that many people out there have just enough for the basic needs. |

Oh well, the usual set of well-intentioned advice that has little practical value for most people. Generalisations that do not give anything that you can really act upon and are written in the cheapest self-improvement books out there. See, easy as:
- Do not spend more money than you make.
- Do not anger people for no particular reason.
- Be good to mommy and daddy.
- Thou shall not steal.
And I could go on forever without helping anyone at all.

We are anyway sharing the data for free, so I guess sharing it for profit is conceptually ok. However, the personal data of most individuals is simply useless or not worth more than a few cents. There is no way you will make passive income worth you while by selling just your personal data, unless you happen to be an influencer, very rich or somehow worth more attention than the average Joe.

It will be a great success if Europe manages to avoid a big war next year. Everything that is happening in Ukraine now is, by and large, not a story about Ukraine, it is a struggle for the redistribution of spheres of influence in Europe. Russia is not satisfied with the current state of affairs, in which Europe is actually occupied by the United States and is under the protection of NATO. According to Russia, this is a threat to its security and generally destabilizes the situation in the region. I think following the results of the special operation in Ukraine, continental Europe will pass under the military protectorate of Russia. That is, Russia will be the guarantor of security in Europe and ensure stability in the region.
be, you are dreaming. Only with an increase of a 1% of GDP in military spending in the EU the military power of Europe would surpass the RF. And that is happening already - guess thanks to who. Not to mention the abundant evidence given by the RF not having most of the claimed capabilities, the number of vehicles, the technology, the manufacturing capacity...

Two main reasons:
- Employment is linked to growth. Most countries only generate new employment when they grow above 2% or so. BRICS need more than that to generate opportunities for their young people, as usually population is also on the rise.
- Because investment is about risk versus benefit. A BRICS is by their own nature can only attract investment and financing by offering a great growth rate.
It is quite basic. BRICS often have "bad years" but very rarely have several consecutive "bad years", but anyway, if you think is going well out there... enjoy.
The unemployment rate in Russia is now at a very low level, it seems to be around 3%. By investment, you probably mean external investment. Russia completely manages without them, investing funds from the National Wealth Fund or borrowing on the domestic market. I believe that the current state of the Russian economy is quite satisfactory. Of course, it was not possible to completely avoid a fall in GDP in 2022, but it amounted to just over 2% at the end of the year, although a fall of 12% was predicted in early spring. The inflation rate at the end of the year was about 12%, which is comparable to the inflation rate in the European Union and much better than the inflation rate, for example, in the Baltics. Things are not going great, but much better than they could be. ... You can officially have a very low unemployment, and even you can have a really low unemployment, but it is also about the type of employment you have and the salary you will get for it. This includes the fact that if the currency looses value, salaries fall comparatively. The RF, as any other country can do without external investment, perhaps better than others I reckon since the economy is based on commodities and raw goods exports, but, as the USSR proves, it eventually makes the country less competitive and inflation creates chaos. As resilient as it is, history proves that this does not end up well. |

Following on from one of my previous messages here, one thing I really like on some sports books is a partial cashout feature - its definitely something to think about in my opinion for new sportsbooks
I would never conceive a sportbook that would not allow a cash-out. It is quite elementary to allow full freedom to the users, as they are going to play on the grounds that eventually they can fully withdraw if they have some serious luck on their betting, or even if the simply get tired of the site and decide to look for alternatives. I think that feature is a given. |

It is not impossible to happen that a profitable casino website will be up in the market by the owner to sell it. Although, even with initial impression and common sense, one would ask why the owner would want to sell something like that. As per the OP, change of plans and priorities had become the main reason. Some will be convinced and intrigued, but some won’t buy such sentiments. Regardless, if someone dares to think of buying such, second thoughts must happen for the purpose of clearing out every possible risk and questionable angle in such intuition. After all, the amount being asked is thought as impartial to the value that the website would be giving back to the buyer, at least for a long time.
it is possible that the owner of a profitable casino site wants to sell it with the aim of making quick and instant money, even though selling the site makes no sense and there are not necessarily any buyers. after all, at this time more and more people will do rather strange things to be able to make money quickly, although there are also those who make fun of it and don't believe they still don't care. It is perfectly possible, because some people are serial entrepreneurs and create business after business and then sell to others that are specialised in making the company or the site grow to full size and implement a more mature business model. It is said that there are many reasons for selling, but only one for buying. But regardless, it is quite a challenge to verify the claim of profitability without investing serious time and effort into it. |

Of course i googled before starting this thread but.... Somehow, I feel you have some connections with that casino, like @yahoo62278 said, " Google is your friend." If you really searched Google, how come you only came up with this casino that is not familiar to members here? I was imagining why you never came up with other casinos and asked which one you should go with. Or should I assume you are well familiar with all the casinos your search engine gave you, apart from the one you chose to ask about? this is why there are so much question about Him being affiliated to the site because upon so many gambling site advertised here yet he come to this one that we have no total idea what or where this site started. Google is our best friend , there are many information about anything that we can find right away and since this involves money then more seraching we must put into. Google is your friend... most of times anyway. There are many companies and people that work full time feeding the algorithm with finely written blogs, adequate images and the right "text size" so that they will become google's first results. So google is your friend, but this forum and your friends are your better friends for references and reputation checking. |

Sportsbet have android app software that works great, but I like more using desktop version on bigger screen.
Mobile apps are great if you want to make bets on the road or when you are not home, but be careful what you are doing in public.
Using the desktop version is a relief because the eyes can work optimally and not get tired quickly. People also like to use the desktop version and the mobile or app version when they are out of the house. But it's better not to play gambling in public to avoid things we don't want because we don't know whether we will be safe from being targeted by crime or whether someone is stalking us to seize our cellphones. I am one person who likes to gamble using a cell phone when outside the house and it is actually not recommended to gamble in the open. but even though I often gamble outside the house using my cell phone, I always look around. if the situation is very busy I don't open the gambling application, but if it's quiet at that time, I will open the gambling application to start betting. well actually I also like to gamble on the desktop but I'm more often outside the house. so my best option is just to use the app on my phone to gamble. Yes, it is a good practice to always look around before opening a gambling application. We don't want to cause problems for ourselves, especially if some don't like to see us gambling in that public space. So we can know for ourselves where we can gamble and don't have to do gambling activities. And if you are a person who often plays gambling using an application on your cellphone, you have to make sure that the application is safe and only downloads directly from the site. That will keep us away from problems like viruses and others. The cellphone must be used only as a secondary option and with great care, but I rekon that there are many countries in which the phone is the main mean of access to the internet and people do not even use a search engine like google to do search, so android apps are simply the only realistic choice. I would not recommend them for people that play and have a desktop available. |

New casinos may not implement KYC because they want to get attention from more gamblers, so they waive KYC. But one day, if the new casino becomes more popular, there is a possibility that it will implement KYC as well.
The new casino rules will benefit the users because they don't apply KYC and other things that make it easier to create anonymous accounts, but you have to consider the reputation and security of the new casinos and many cases of fraud start from the new casinos which offer attractive offers for new users but Avoiding KYC regulations is not a solution to getting involved in new casinos whose reputation and security cannot be verified, new casinos are still prone to scams because there is no guarantee that new casinos without KYC rules can be trusted. That's why I don't like using the new casino to play gambling because I'm worried about fraud cases committed by the new casino. Even though it might benefit us since we are early adopters in the casino, it's still not worth it. But if the casino can provide other evidence that can be used as material for our consideration to play safely at their place, maybe we can try to use the casino as a place to play gambling. But we also have to know not to use too much money for gambling because we are still in the trial and error stage to determine how the casino will perform. And we really have to avoid casinos like that so we don't get involved in fraud cases that often happen to many people. That is very true, now it cannot be surprising that there are many casinos that are completely asking for KYC, either at the entrance (Registration) or when a withdrawal is made, in the same way I think that now the whole trend will be towards that, no we have to fight a lot or go against the tide, and that is something that is very difficult, either due to the requirement of the licenses or for the casino to have more authenticity, and so that it is always with the legal bases according to the country where the casino operates. Some people who always seek to have more good things, or more benefits in a casino, sometimes this is the price they must pay. We will not be able to go against the grain by not wanting to do KYC at the casinos where we often gamble. Casinos can immediately close their accounts that want to avoid following their rules because they are also required to follow the rules of the regulator. Many of us want to avoid getting into trouble at casinos and keep looking for other casinos that can provide comfort in playing because that can make us stay there. But sometimes, some don't agree with the KYC implemented before this KYC trend emerged, making them look for other casinos. usually gambling sites don't require KYC is a natural thing, but if it's the website you mentioned it seems like some people say this is a scam. I don't have a referral for it because I'm new to the casino, if you ever put money there you should leave it because it will be difficult to get money that has been cheated.
It is that a casino that does not ask for KYC cannot be considered a scam, that is something that can be left aside, there are some casinos and platforms that are very famous and have free KYC, and they are platforms that have good faucets, this It is what makes these platforms great, most of the casinos that are new have good things, but when they offer a lot of free things or too many things that are very good, people are always suspicious because it can turn out to be a trap, and that is very true because I have witnessed how a casino can sometimes deceive many players and they do not pay them or do anything like that to comply. But now it seems that crypto casinos have started implementing KYC for their members, and although KYC is still randomly selecting their members, it might become more strict in the future. But if the casino doesn't ask for KYC, it's possible that it still allows its members to play without verifying their accounts. But someday, its members must be ready if asked to do KYC. And those of us who are used to looking up casinos from these forums will surely know which casinos implement KYC. New casinos may not implement KYC because they want to get attention from more gamblers, so they waive KYC. But one day, if the new casino becomes more popular, there is a possibility that it will implement KYC as well. It is like the famous phrase of Blessed are those who are wisely chosen not to present KYC, I do have blood to be asked for KYC and sometimes it is a bit annoying, firstly because my papers that I present are not in my name because I live in a residence, it's not in my own home, so sometimes they push back my documentation and complying and looking for more requirements to be in another country is very difficult, when they put up with all those things I prefer not to be in that casino, simple , I go to another, and that is what happens with the majority of players, they prefer to go to other casinos. If that's the case for you, maybe you need to find another reputable casino that doesn't ask for KYC or if you want to play gambling, don't use big money because so far, gamblers who use big money are asked to do KYC. But the casino can change the rules if the regulators ask for them to be changed, and the casinos can only comply. I think if we only play gambling with small money, we don't need to do KYC, especially if we play only occasionally, and it's different from other people who play almost daily. Hopefully, the casinos hear us as small gamblers, so they don't ask us to do KYC in the future. I used to play on one of the well-known casino sites. And indeed, when I registered and deposited a small amount, I was not asked to make a KYC. However, after a while, I was able to collect winning money from betting in a fairly large amount. However, the site still asked to make a KYC when I withdrew all the money that was in the casino's wallet. I don't know why this could happen and after thinking about it logically, indeed creating KYC can actually provide benefits for its users because it can provide security for every user and also the casino owner. That's true, and some casinos still allow us to remain a little gambler, and as long as we don't cross the limits set, the casinos won't check our account either. They may ask it one day, but we can hope it will not happen for little gamblers. And if we get comfort and security while at the casino, we can continue doing KYC so that we can get all the facilities from the casino for those who have already verified. I would rather have a verified account, I have nothing to hide and I do not want to be betting against others that are playing with money that may not have paid taxes and may have been illegally obtained. It is not fair, because they can afford to loose much more than me and still be well-off. You must consider if a site that does not offer verification is really for you. |

I am not sure I am getting it. Are somehow stating that the RF has not bombed (and is still shelling and rocketing) civilian infrastructure? I mean, the satellite pictures show basically cities flattened and there is an obvious attack on power plants -which I cannot better describe than civilian infrastructure. I am not sure if you are also trying to argue that no war crimes have been committed o somehow trying to whitewash these. I think that at this point the evidence gathered is overwhelming. |
