Why do you want to bulk up your phone storage? I have seen there are lot gambling web who are using great responsive display I think you also don't face problem with any of them. And I think if you want to play gambling, you may have to visit different gambling websites from time to time and if you look like this your phone storage will be filled with those apps.  So I think using the website is not bad, it's just my personal opinion. Also, above mentioned some good gambling websites that you can try. (Bitcasino)
I think also the OP doesn't care about the advice from all of us in this thread even he has never seen or responded to anyone's earnings in this thread, but still respects any questions from the community and answers with all of our experience and in the end our advice is that it's not safe using a casino that uses an app, because playing gambling at a casino using a cellphone browser is more than enough and safe and easy to access  Wink

There are no issues with playing over the phone these days. I heard that in the beginning of the android systems, there were some issues with safety that could be exploited, but no really for the average hacker. As of now the system is probably perfect for the task. If you use IOS it is probably even safer, as Apple keeps their systems semi-closed and have better safety features.

Oh, guess who is back. We haven't seen you for a while, probably since shameful retreat of Russians from Kherson. It was a bit boring without you, it would be interesting to read your insights about it.
And I, in turn, got bored with the topic of Ukraine, at least against the backdrop of the recent World Cup.

Sanctions went almost painlessly? It's same like "special operation" goes as planned.
Yep, almost painless. It seems that Europe suffers from anti-Russian sanctions much more than Russia. For "twice torn to shreds" the Russian economy feels just fine.

Not at all. For a country in the BRICS group, anything less than growing the GDP by 5% is an absolute failure - which is the case. But that is only the short term. I wonder if RF is counting on China buying their oil and gas, because others will think twice before trusting the crazy Ivans.

...

As far as I am concerned, Ukrainians have the right to make their own decisions. Adolf Putin has to come to the XXI century and understand that governments are to be decided by the people, anything else is Middleage.

Besides contradicting yourself about if the US is making war...

Of course Ukrainians have the right to make their own decisions. Everybody does. That's not the question.

The question is, What decisions did they make? A second question is, Were their decisions honored, or was the vote a CIA controlled lie?

There are loads of Ukrainians that side with Russia... maybe the majority. Their decision is not being honored by the US or Zelensky. And you don't even want to admit it.

Cool

No contradiction whatsoever, US is not at war, the US is helping Ukraine at 50% speed. I assume this is something you need to read twice to avoid being confused about it.
It seems that the decision was to get rid of a pro-RF government and choose a pro-occidental government. Who can blame them?

I'm a muslim, maybe you should read Quran to know what is right and not. And I doubt if God is interested about what biden or others think, He does what wants.

I doubt that Biden or anyone for that matter care about your mythologic beliefs and your imaginary friend.

I know that you have already decided that what you believe is the only truth and that's it so you cannot even do the basic exercise of thinking if it is correct and if all of it is as they are telling you.

Seriously, I respect your right to believe in whatever you want, but if you have even the slightest critical thinking towards Islam, you will see that most of the rules are based on the nomadic life in the desert, old Arabic uses and in precepts that are taken from other mythologies including Hindi, Buddhist, Christian and Hebraic.

The worst thing is the type of Islam that we are seeing around. It is one that places all the stress in rules, and little in humanity. Particularly, continuous display of religious symbols in public and a massive discrimination towards the female and many leaders who argue that they are there "because of God" and can do whatever they want "because Gods tells them to".  Being Muslim and female is an everyday punishment for many.  It is like Europe in the XVI century, burning witches and killing scientists.

I am not sure young Muslims know about how the Islam was just a few decades ago. Much more open, much more relaxed and keen to share and coexist peacefully with others. You should be asking yourself why now Islam is being invasive and confrontational - hint: Money helps a lot spreading a message.

Seems to me that Russia currently only has 1 of these missiles. But it may have several. If production gets under way, nobody will be able to stop Russia.


Putin prepares new hypersonic 20,000 mph Avangard 'meteorite' missile...


Russia today revealed chilling new footage of its 'meteorite' hypersonic missile Avangard being readied for combat in yet another nuclear threat to the West.

Footage shows the weapon - which is delivered to targets at 27 times the speed of sound - being installed in an underground launch silo in the Orenburg region, southwest Russia, near the Kazakhstan border.

The missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle is fired outside the earth's atmosphere before striking any target in the world in less than 30 minutes, claims Moscow.

Like other Russian hypersonic missile systems, Vladimir Putin claims the West has no means to stop it.

Today's emplacement of the 20,000mph (32,187kmh) Avangard beast follows three consecutive days in which Putin has showcased the deployment of new Yars nuclear missiles in Kaluga and Tver regions.

The Kremlin revealed Putin had spent all of Friday with his military commanders in discussions over the war in Ukraine.

The day saw the unleashing of dozens of missiles on Ukraine - many of which were successfully shot down by Kyiv's air defences.

...


Cool

You have an interesting style of writing... for example "when Trump wins the elections", when "Rusia wins", when the RF develops this weapon, when... But the "when" and the "ifs" are just wishful thinking.

In this case the latest stuff is the "unstoppable weapon" myth. Look, the RF already has the technology and the ability to use missiles that range from very difficult to nearly impossible to stop, but that does not matter because the can produce a tiny amount of them, some fail spectacularly and they are more expensive that most targets out there. On top of that, they are a weapon of terror, but will not win a war - unless used in quantities that the RF cannot produce.

Why the heck do you thing they are using IKEA drones?


But here is where your own thinking backfires on itself. If Russia is so weak, why hasn't the US military simply gone in there and broken her apart... especially since they have all that Nato around there in Europe?

Something like almost $100 billion has gone US to Ukraine so far. And Biden and Congress are promising another $38 billion in the coming weeks. How many more billions is it going to take before the US destroys itself with inflation before they make Ukraine strong enough to begin to fight Russia?

With the break-up of the USSR in '91, there was the promise that Nato wouldn't push further in the direction of Russia. So, Russia was dumb enough to trust that, and to go into somewhat of a bit of hibernation. The US is waking her up by slapping her with Ukraine... like a hibernating bear might get pestered by a squirrel.

You don't want to wake this bear up... if you know what is good for you. Let her sleep. Live and let live. Trade and let trade. But don't wake the bear up.

Cool

You would need to answer your own question, as you are the one stating that the US is at war, which is not the case.

If you want to know my opinion, the US is absolutely fine with having Adolf Putin in there, at least it gives a certain stability to the whole nuclear thing. The last thing you'd want is the RF to fall in disarray and become a failed state or come into the hands of the more radical branch of the Orc Army, which would happen if the US pressed at 100%. The US game is not difficult to guess, it is just a question of "winning" the war without creating bigger problems.

- Ukraine becomes an ally and the buffer against RF expansion (not just military, also in influence an economic).
- Europe becomes more indebted mainly with the US.
- More weapons will be sold, good for US business.
- Blocks are formed - helpful against China in the near future.
- Europe looses competitiveness as the cheap RF resources are not coming in the near and perhaps long term.

As said many times, the only winner in this war, if any, is the US.

There are very good reasons to pour money and help into Ukraine. As usual, none are particularly altruistic.

BTW, NATO does not "push". It is merely defensive and joining is voluntary. But the question is not about military matters, is a fight for economic influence. I like to think that also democratic principles are involved, but I guess that is just a side effect on this case.

Wake up the bear?? The bear seems to be the second biggest bear in Ukraine for now. May even loose the regional power status if things keep like this.


As far as I am concerned, Ukrainians have the right to make their own decisions. Adolf Putin has to come to the XXI century and understand that governments are to be decided by the people, anything else is Middleage.

 Nope. It's not a sure-fire way to treat Alzheimer's since there has not been a cure yet, although medication and management strategies may help reduce the threat but won't stop the inevitable.

Current projections speak of a population increase reaching the 11 billion mark and then stabilising or even declining. However those predictions, since Maltus spoke a about the positive checks in population, have usually failed. The resources required to sustain population are subject like everything else to technological advances, and that could include for example the de-salinization of water or better crop growing techniques.

So technically you are saying that gambling can be more ideal as a stress reliever than making a trade?. well it depends in trading if you have knowledge regarding the position you would like to do is you make the right time and proper preparation at the same time, if you execute the trade properly its good but if not you have a mistakes every thing right there has a lesson but in playing gambling is you just make a deposit, play and let the game you choose to decide if you are a winner or not, gambling is more stressful because you are just letting other people make your luck not yourself with your knowledge and skills.

IN my opinion gambling is much more stressful than day trading, I say this for the following reason: for example if a person takes 100$ and that person starts making sports bets, that person bets 10$, loses, bets others 10$ and loses again, bet on 10$ wins, but then goes back to bet on 10$ and loses again, this person will start to get stressed because he sees that his bankroll is reducing all the time, and he doesn't know how to reverse this situation, then panic starts to take over him, but when doing trade he will always put stop - loss and he can do hodl for some time until he has profit, then he will not have stress when doing trade

In my view you cannot really compare gambling and trading. Gambling should not be stressful, it is just a game and it has to be played for leisure, except pro-poker and the like. But trading is not a game, it is a real profession and done properly, is based on facts and analysis, a different thing is people trying to think of it as being a game. I would rather say it may be a profession.

but apparently a gesture of goodwill in returning 0.05 BTC to you seemed sufficient to them.
Just to clarify it, they did return your  deposit? May I ask if the Russian player was not allowed to play in the Playbetr? because if yes, even if you are a verified player but your country and other gambling site tighten the restriction in your country then I think you are still lucky that they still give back your deposit?

I think you should move this to scam accusation because even if its a gambling related, it still fits in scam accusation board

I am surprised to see this here - as it seems to be more of an accusation thread - but also because Playbetr has been around for quite a while and I am not aware of any accusation or any wrongdoing being reported. I am talking that campaigns have been going on for more than a year and there are lots of players that could have found anything if there is anything to be found.
1351  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are we ever going to see this on gambling platforms some day. on: December 16, 2022, 05:47:54 PM
If I am not wrong there is already an extensive eco-system built around the on-line gaming market and linked mostly with "Twich" as a real time streaming platform. I do not see why there would not be individual betting as there is collective betting on teams and very large prices to be honest. However, I do not see this being integrated in betting platforms, but rather a separated bit.
1352  Economy / Gambling / Re: A way to attract new users or a misunderstanding? on: December 16, 2022, 05:45:28 PM
Is web 3 a misunderstanding word for some gambling crypto projects? I've come across few gambling / crypto projects that claimed to be a web 3.0 online casino and other but they still ask for KYC.

The definition of web 3.0 had everything to do with decentralization, block chain technology and token based economics as per what Wikipedia illustrated so why is identity/ verification integrated?

Is this just a misunderstanding of what web 3 actually is? Or it's a way to attract people/users to make them think that their platform is more advanced?.
This happens when the when the gamblers do not understand what they really needs or understand the meaning of web 3.0. I have see many crypto projects that are been claiming to be on web 3.0 and help users to stay decentralized. When we don't understand what we want the problem will continue and this had been the market problem of many users and crypto investors including gamblers.
Most gamblers follow what others are doing without doing any research to find the casino they want. That causes many of them to have a bad experience using the wrong casino and only complain. Maybe not many people understand the meaning of web 3.0 or web 3. And this is why there are still misunderstandings among people out there. And we should use the casino that we are used to so that we are fine while playing gambling.

It all depends on what people want to see and understand, there are many and among them they don't know what Web3 is and I know that this is something that can be technical, but when talking about such technical things it's always good to have a section where they explain what that means, for some players who have a lot of experience and who have been playing for many years they know perfectly well what it is and that despite not being programmers or very knowledgeable, but I have seen that here in the forum many things will depend techniques because the players speak with many technical criteria that sometimes I don't understand and that they make me study to learn.


I think most people t this point can tell that there are a lot of buzz words in anything that is innovative or recent. Web 3.0 is kind of a buzzword, an different people may understand different things and some sites will just, as usual, claim to be W 3.0 just to attract more customers. The key is to see what is real and what is in front of you on a site, do not be fooled for claims if there do nothing for you.

One of the major reasons for the war is the fact that the US has bio-warfare labs in Ukraine...

No, it's because Putin invaded Ukraine.  US doesn't have any bio-warfare labs in Ukraine.  

The thought is ridiculous. Setting up facilities that can be perfectly fine in the middle of the Nevada desert or in some stupid lost island in a country that is right by the door of an aggressive military local power is just so stupid that only the feeblest minds can fall for it. I am sure there are plenty of labs in Ukraine, there are certainly hundreds in a 100 mile radius of where I am right now. Calling something "bio-lab" is playing with words, like if anything that start with "bio" is something to be afraid of. So silly.

https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/absolut-unerwartet-putin-zeigt-sich-enttauscht-von-merkel-wegen-ausserungen-zur-ukraine-9006844.html

In the interview published on Thursday, Merkel literally said: "And the 2014 Minsk Agreement was an attempt to give Ukraine time. She also used this time to get stronger, as you can see today.”

According to Merkel, Putin could easily have overrun Ukraine in early 2015. "And I very much doubt that the NATO countries could have done as much back then as they do today to help Ukraine."


Putin was fooled, war was planned since forever...USA didn't plan to honor any agreements since dissolve of USSR
Many in Russia are of the opinion (including myself) that the special operation to liberate Donbas should have started eight years earlier. But in fairness, I note that not only Ukraine used this time to strengthen its combat capability, but also Russia - to diversify and minimize the risks associated with Western sanctions. Russia's disconnection from SWIFT, Visa and Mastercard in 2014 would have been a disaster for the financial sector, and in 2022 it went almost painlessly. From a food importer in eight years, Russia has become a major exporter. Therefore, I am not inclined to dramatize about the hypocrisy and duplicity of Merkel, in this world everything happens only on time.

Perhaps it should have started 8 years earlier. But Putin was trying - and still is - to out-trade the US. And he is doing it, too... considering the countries that are wanting to join BRICS.

Cool

The US has gained the animosity of many. Most of them irrelevant in the world order, but Saudi Arabia and part of Latin America have made a point of playing either neutral or against US. They do not seem to fear the repercussions, right or wrong? Time will tell.

Well, I'm glad I was wrong. I didn't think he would face any criminal charges.

Read the charges briefly, he's facing up to life in prison but no one is ever sentenced at the top of sentence recommendations. If he is in fact guilty after proper due process, throw the book at him.

Elizabeth Holmes frauded about 700M USD, she got 13 years in prison.

Bernard Lawrence Madoff frauded 65B USD, he got 150 years.

If convicted, what could SBF get for vaporizing 10B USD? Perhaps the rest of his life?

Maybe this was all a charade to appease the public. People would be furious if they let him of the hook but now they'll make all the hearings, committees, maybe a trial... and then let him go. He'll get a long list of sentences but if you sum them all up it's going to be like a million dollar fine, 2 years of house arrest and a lifetime ban on running companies.

I doubt he'll get 10 years but given what he did he should at least get that.

Guy is guilty as sin, to jail with him and throw the key in the sea.  There must be no special treatment for monetary and fiscal offences, it is as bad as stealing and there has to be an exemplary punishment.

Saying so over and over does not make it true - just more boring. All evidence, even declarations before congress by their own team and near family point to someone simply trying to take power by force. The US is probably the only place where this guy does not end in prison for a long time.

Even if someone accepts that somehow there was any short of cheating (which is nearly impossible at the scale that would have been needed), the "solution" of assaulting the Capitol is not a solution at all. Attacking physically the chosen representatives of the people is a Coup regardless of any circumstance. In most countries it gets you life in prison, in some a firing squad.

The difference in this case is that the House and some of the Senate agree with me. How do they agree with me? By not taking time to do a 10-day investigation into the anomalies of the election before approving it.

Such an investigation has been done in at least one past presidential election. In addition, 100 Congress people asked for this investigation. But they were turned down by the majority. So, the majority agreed that they had something to hide, that the election was fraudulent, and they didn't even want to check it out.

That in itself is a breaking of their Oaths of Office to uphold the Constitution. The lawsuit here - https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-380/243739/20221027152243533_20221027-152110-95757954-00007015.pdf talked about here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5334747.msg61402193#msg61402193 shows how adamant Congress and Biden were about breaking their Oaths of Office.

Cool

No, that is your interpretation plus a little bit of blatant lying, not facts. A number of complaints were filled and dismissed in all states. Even if you do not believe in all the proof, the content of the depositions, the own members of the RP saying that they wanted nothing to do with it, at least you should consider the level of organisation that would be required to change the vote across several states. It is impossible to do that without leaks and people knowing and leaving real evidence behind.

It is about time that you guys accept that Trump was a terrible president. He was not up to the task of leading a country, probably he is not even up to the task of leading a country club. People died because of his attitude, diplomacy was severely hurt because of his - I cannot call it anything but stupidity. US has lost stance in the world and left it worse that it was before him.

If the RP cannot come up with someone better than Trump or Bush Junior or the likes of them, there is something very wrong in the party.

Elon buying Twitter, which banned Trump - quite late if you ask me - for using it to mobilise the radical supporters into marching violently in the Capitol, then saying that "there was information that was hidden from the public" - which points to supporting conspiracies and Trump and his appointed candidates still on the theory of the stolen election...

I mean, just add 2 + 2 and this looks like Trump trying to get elected even if he does not get elected. There is not much from there to saying that he is "entitled to another mandate after because the second was stolen" or anything along those lines...

I think you should not mix business with politics. In my opinion, the aim of Elon Musk might be just freedom of expression, and I also believe the same. However, the permanent blocking of Trump from Twitter raises questions about the credibility of freedom of expression. So I can say there is nothing wrong with the decision of Elon Musk.


You are implying that there is not freedom of expression already or that is somehow inadequately limited. This is pretty much how the narrative of the Trumpublican party is now. Elon has mixed politics and business certainly, declared several times in lines dangerously close to justifying a coup, so this is not me.

Permanently banning Trump from Twitter is based on the conditions of use. Basically calling for an assault on the location of a governing body when they were choosing the next President. A ban from Twitter has rarely been more deserved.

Except that Trump was right!     Cool

Nice interpretation of interview. But actually, consequences that we have today is result of Merkel and other Western politics decisions. Like sucking Russian gas pipe without having other suppliets made Europe heavy dependent on Russian gas. Too positive attitude towards Russia. And actually, when Russia occupied Crimea and invaded Eastern Ukraine, Europe gave time for Russia to become stronger. Sanctions that they imposed then was complete joke. Reaction wasn't harsh enough.

It is false logic ("Ukraine made itself stronger, thus they were not going to comply" False, Ukraine had all reasons to get stronger since the RF had shown clear intent of using violence to achieve its objectives).

The Minsk agreements are pretty much an unconditional surrender and a treaty that is imposed like that does only hold while the balance of power holds. There have been many comments already on who broke what in the agreements. Adolf Putin is not neutral to this.

It's honorable for men to treat women well. But if Adam had used his head, and had taken a little more control of Eve so that she didn't eat the apple, the world might still be a paradise.

Cool

You should not confuse the Christian mythology with reality. Please, go to a qualified person for your treatment if you are also hearing voices.  And NO, your priest is not a qualified person for that.

here is the thing about rules

they also reveal what women did do

EG travelling to the moon is not a thing people did. so there was no moon rules

but revealing that women did dye their hair and loiter at ice creameries.. shows that women did do those things
hence why some idiots thought rules needed to be applied

it also reveals women in 1914 had jobs because there would not be rules for women if no women were teachers.

so take a pinch of salt about the rules and read what it implies outside the rules

yes the rules are bad. and exploitative but read whats not said but implied by having the rules.

yep women did travel in cars with random guys, dye their hair and flirt. and have jobs. but once in a job the rules sucked the life out of woman

Women have had jobs since the beginning of time - a completely different thing is getting paid for said jobs. Women in 1914 had a limited choice of works - very very limited - factories, teaching, nannies, secretaries,... And they could only keep working if married with permission with the husband.

Women who dyed their hair, went with random guys, etc... were pretty much excluded from social circles as that was considered immoral. Obviously a teacher cannot, even nowadays, show an unsocial behaviour in private life - except that now none of that would be unsocial.

All that you are "discovering" by reading the rules is well known history, there is no need to re-analyse the wheel.

Elon buying Twitter, which banned Trump - quite late if you ask me - for using it to mobilise the radical supporters into marching violently in the Capitol, then saying that "there was information that was hidden from the public" - which points to supporting conspiracies and Trump and his appointed candidates still on the theory of the stolen election...

I mean, just add 2 + 2 and this looks like Trump trying to get elected even if he does not get elected. There is not much from there to saying that he is "entitled to another mandate after because the second was stolen" or anything along those lines...

I think you should not mix business with politics. In my opinion, the aim of Elon Musk might be just freedom of expression, and I also believe the same. However, the permanent blocking of Trump from Twitter raises questions about the credibility of freedom of expression. So I can say there is nothing wrong with the decision of Elon Musk.


You are implying that there is not freedom of expression already or that is somehow inadequately limited. This is pretty much how the narrative of the Trumpublican party is now. Elon has mixed politics and business certainly, declared several times in lines dangerously close to justifying a coup, so this is not me.

Permanently banning Trump from Twitter is based on the conditions of use. Basically calling for an assault on the location of a governing body when they were choosing the next President. A ban from Twitter has rarely been more deserved.

If you do not stand with Ukraine, you are a genocidal psychopath.

Russia is conducting ethnic cleansing in Ukraine.

He stands with Ukrainian civilians, which is perfectly all right. Not every RF citizen is evil - in fact most of them just want to live their lives in peace and prosper like anyone else in the world. The problem is the army and the chief psychos, along with the senile Putin. I reckon that RF population should seriously consider doing something about their government, but in a country with an 11% military spending that may be quite a challenge.
