The difference is that you play the same amount (on martingale) when you win, but you grow your bet size when you lose. So when you bet with 100 dollars as your base, if you win 10 times in a row that means 1000 dollars and that's about it, but when you talk about 10 times in a row, that becomes 100 to 200 to 400 to 800 to 1600 to 3200 to 6400 to.. as you can see it keeps on growing and bankrupting your entire bankroll.

This is why winners do not really get any notice, you must had some amazing wins in a row but because the base bet stays the same that means people do not really care about it at all, the losers however grows up a lot and that's why people keep ending up having bigger and bigger losses in the end. This means that consecutive losses and winners are the same odds, with 10k+ bets, you get to have 10+ times in a row loss and wins all the same, but the win doesn't change much whereas the loss ends up having some sort of issues because of the growth.

There are literally places that makes people win their first ever game, and gives them a good return, it's designed that way, but they do put a rollover in there, so that means you end up gambling and winning so you think you are going to keep winning and you lose until you could withdraw. It makes people see that there is a possibility of winning and keep doing it more, when you have very little money left they still make you win, so that you do not end up leaving completely but then you eventually lose, that win streak in the middle is what makes you think it's possible.

So all in all, there are many places that try to scam people and should be something that we all care about and be worried about as well, these people do not directly steal your money, they end up making it look like you have lost that money during the regular period and not really look at it like you have done something wrong, and that's why many people do not realize they are getting scammed.

If Osimehn is offered a lot of money, Napoli may feel like the yare in trouble as well. Why? I mean they are the ones offering that contract, so why would they be in trouble after offering the contract themselves? Well simply put they do not want to lose him for free and that means the yare going to try to their best to sign him, even if it means they will overpay him.

After getting his contract done, then it means it's time for them to end up with a sale as well, because they can't afford to keep him with a high salary if it's too high, and they will not want to lose him for free neither, which means they will sign him for an amount they can't afford and then try to sell him for a lot of money whenever they can to get rid of his salary while still making some money.

Honestly Nurkic is right, Draymond seriously needs some counselling and help. At this point I can say that it is at a "psychological help" level, he needs to go see some professional about this, and I am not sure if he does or not, but I am pretty sure that he needs to do that a lot better, if he is already seeing someone then he needs to change that person because obviously it is not helping.

His defence was "he was holding me", really Draymond? Really? He was grabbing your waist so it was only natural that you got mad and swing at him? That's the defence? He must realize that he has been hurting the team a lot lately and at this stage I am pretty sure that if Warriors just cut him and let him leave, literally like waive him, they would be even better.

I think the idea started with the fact that someone asked if it is smart to keep your money here even when you are not gambling or not. I am on the side that it's a bad move, you should not be putting up your money in your roobet wallet if you have no intention of gambling, even if you gamble with "some" of it, you should not put the rest here neither.

That's the point where it all started and it is definitely related to roobet. Imagine if roobet had to deal with billions of dollars worth of bitcoin in their wallets all trusted by the people and they do not make a dime out of it, would that be something they would want? Neither roobet would want it nor should any gambler/investor should want to do something like that.

To be fair polls are not always that good to predict what will happen, but it is also quite clear that Trump voters are a lot more fired up than Biden ones. That's the thing about politics at USA, it is not about who is a better candidate, it is about which candidate is capable of bringing more people to vote, that's how Biden won most recently.

Trump got the second highest votes in American history, more than anyone else aside from Biden the same very election, Biden got the most votes by like 15+ million, not because Biden was great, you need to be crazy to think that Biden is the best president USA ever had, absolutely not, the reason was that people hated Trump, and still do but it's been 4 years so they hate him a little less. So if Trump could get (and he could) people to go out and vote, he may win easily.

I didn't really consider Killers of Flower Moon as a big big movie and just wanted to see it because Leo and De niro was in it, and I still think that Oppenheimer was better. I still think Oppenheimer is not even remotely close to any other movie, if that doesn't win the best movie of the year then I do not know what I am watching because it is by far the best, not even maybe for me.

I would put 1.01 odds for that movie, that's how much I believe that they should win, doesn't mean they will, academy has made some terrible decisions here and there, so I would guess some years they pick the movie that should win and some years they are just picking something because they want to pick it, and that means we are going to just wait and see if they will give it to the movie that deserves it or the one that they want to give just because they feel like it. The decision making process is a bit weird, you do not exactly know what they look for, certainly not what the people wants, otherwise it would just be marvel movies with billions of box office returns.

I think it would definitely be good for his future, he would get some playing time and considering Arsenal is looking for a striker that means Watkins would get some serious playing time. I understand that Jesus is a big risk for him, because Arteta would want to play Jesus as well, but right now Jesus himself alone can't carry the whole load, they will want to have Watkins there helping him as well and that should be something that would be fine.

These are teams that play so many games a year, and if Watkins goes to Arsenal, it's clear that he will be starting about 30 games at least, and maybe subbed in for more later on as well, that's more than enough games he would want to be in anyway, more than that would be too tiring.

Honestly there will definitely be some big name games and all that, its going to be fun for sure but I do not think that it will be all that crazy. I think we are going to end up with just ordinary games, it's not extra added fun. Maybe that's because it's religious thing that makes it better for some people?

Like it's holidays for you and you like these during the holidays but for me it is not the holidays and I have to keep working non-stop, nothing about this period that gives me any break from the work so I have to end up working for a long time. I think we should be considering the situation a little bit sensitive for some people who enjoys it and I hope you get the most fun. For me its just another weekend games in the end.

If you ever wonder about why Democrats are talking about Trump more than talking about what Biden can do, it's simple; it's because Biden or a trash can basically could do more help to their nation than Trump ever could. You are talking about someone who has stolen nuclear program details from the white house to his own suite after he didn't get reelected, do you think Biden would do that?

I mean we are talking about a criminal here, someone who has other nations powerful people in his pockets, and that's why it's easy to say that instead of electing Trump, you could have a box of bananas and you would still be able to do better as a nation. The "fearmongering" you are talking about is literally a criminal president who asked a state governor to fake election results, that's not fearmongering, that's a real criminal evil that wants the highest position in politics.

Me neither, not because of money issues to be fair, I do not really have that much money anyway, this month I got some help from my family because I had literally zero money left, I wouldn't be able to survive if they weren't helping me and thank god for them, yes it feels terrible as a grown man to get help from the parents, but I had no other choice, I had to get some money, I was forced to do that or I wouldn't have money to buy food.

But that's not the issue why I gamble less, I am already not rich, I gamble very little normally as well, if I really wanted to, I would have gotten 50 bucks more and just kept gambling, that's not it, during this period I am super busy, so it means that I do not really have any time to gamble at all, I just have to end up gambling normally when I get some more time.

Wembanyama is scoring more, rebounding more, blocking more right now. Plus, it looks like they are quite different in the end, Chet is tall too, but he is more like a Durant type of player, a tall skinny scorer who is doing fine, I believe in the next 10 years or so, we are going to see Chet do fine about scoring the basket, he will be an elite force on offense.

However, Wembenyama could become something we have never seen before, a 7'5 feet tall player who plays like a guard, that dude can score from the three or just take on step and dunk, that's how tall and quick he is, and he makes everything much easier for his teammates, plus he is a much better defender as well, his rim protection is near elite levels even right now, that's unreal for his age. I can see why people may prefer Chet because his team is doing better, and because OKC is better than Spurs, many think Chet is better than Wemby, but that is not the case if you ask me, just because teams are better, doesn't mean player is better.

Tomorrow will definitely a big day, it's all going to be decided and we are going to end up seeing how it all ends. I do believe that it has been one of the most entertaining group stages in a long time, all that group A, bayern and united vs copenhagen and galatasaray games are so exciting to see and I believe that we are going to end up seeing things change a lot without a doubt, it's going to be quite entertaining to see.

I get that it's not going to be easy to handle, but it's not going to be all that impossible to handle neither, we are going to end up with something that should be fun to watch. Tomorrow evening I am going to be able to get dual screen on, and just watch both games at the same time, will be super fun.

The thing is, Brazillian league is not a terrible league, I find it much better than the Saudi and American league for example, which means that if Suarez was good enough to be this good at Gremio then I would guess that he could have been pretty decent at Europe as well. Sure, I wouldn't put him at striker position for big clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona, City, Bayern and so forth but he could have been fine for a team that was in europa or conference leagues without a question. Not like those type of teams can't afford to get him, how much could he get from Gremio, I bet it is not huge enough that those clubs couldn't afford.

In the end, he didn't went there, and he went to Brazil instead and he is a good ambassador for here. He will keep on playing good for a few more seasons there, and we are going to see his name a lot more, and he will definitely be a great ambassador that would be bringing in a bit more customers for the website hopefully.

I do agree that ATM will not be able to release the player for free, but they can't sell for what they want to neither, so they need to find some middle ground. Think about it this way, you want to sell him for 100, if you can't sell him for 100 then he will not resign with you and you are going to lose him for free, if these are your two options, then you are going to lose him for free.

However, we are talking about something that will not be easy for you and we are going to talk about something that will not be all that simple, so why not just cut it in half, sell him for 50 and you get something in return, sure that is not the amount you are looking for and that is way too little to pay him, but at the same time it's at least "something", instead of free.

They still have "old Saudi league" level defenders, that's their issue, there are many players at defense (and bench too) that are good for the old level, but for the past 2 seasons plenty of teams brought in a lot of players from Europe and that should be the difference maker, when you have players from those levels that's easily understandable that they are going to have easy time scoring against those defenders.

For them to be good, they need to pay top money to get defenders from Europe just like they did with their attack. Like for example they did manage to get Ronaldo right? He is great and scores and all that right? Well do they have even remotely anyone that's as close to him at defense? Of course not, that's their issue. They could do that during this winter break if they want to but that will be quite tough, I would highly suggest that they just let go of this season and in return they could end up with something that would be more decent during summer break and pray they can be this good next season.

About 15-16% increase just in the last week (this month) is proof enough that we are in a bull period right now and it is going great. I get that people may have worries, and I understand that, CMC shows the greed index being super high right now, it's scary, everyone is looking at the insane increase and fearing "what if the fall starts" and I understand that feeling, and I believe it will have a fall on the first quarter of 2024 as well, before the halving, I think we are going to be under 40k before the halving, reach back over 40k again during halving (a little before and after) and slowly that will turn into going higher and higher, by the end of the year it will be 70k again, maybe a bit more.

Then we are going to just have a huge increase there after, it is going to be 100k+ at 2025 if you ask me and then some more, maybe reach even 15k as well, the biggest expectation I have would be 200k, but that's my max, anything above that is something I can't see happening and if it does I will be already out.

It is obvious that Lakers are decent enough that they won this one, so I think they should be decent enough to be "contenders", doesn't mean they may win but they are contenders.

The real one I believe could be the biggest is still Bucks and even after them showing nothing of that caliber so far, I think they are still great, Dame and Giannis together is a much better duo than both Jokic and Murray or Lebron and AD, because Dame and Giannis could do what they do with a lot better perfection and could become something much bigger. Their pick and roll feels quite unstoppable, how could you manage to prevent them from scoring? They both are great at what they do and even all by themselves on iso plays they are good enough.

I am not really surprised about this, United will have one of their most important games of the season just a few days later, they are basically deciding if they will continue at UCL or not, they must have a win, there is no scenario where they can continue and not care about anything, they have to end up winning that's a must. For that they are going to just relax, either rest some players or even the ones who do play will not care about this game at all.

All these ended up getting to a point it is not that easy and should consider the situation as acceptable. The result that is 3-0 would be not that crazy and it does end up with something that would result with a good win overall, we should consider that as normal as it can get.

It doesn't "really" matter that they managed to get an easy win from this, because we all knew that they would win this one, as long as they lose to big clubs they are not going to get the title.

Looking at the difference, it's still 7 points, people keep praising how Ronaldo scored a lot of goals, but the be fair he had a lot of goals against the bottom teams of this league, a very very terrible and lowly ranked league, and the result is clear, he is not getting any closer to the first place as a team even though they are winning, because they did lose to Al Hilal not too long ago and that means they are not going to be all that great. I think the league is already over, the difference won't be closed and we are not going to see them change anytime soon.
