In my experience, yes. You can still win using free spins.
The problem is, it's time-consuming doing all the task being asked by the casino before they reward you with free spins.
They will also ask you to wager 20x-40x the amount of your free spins rewards before you will be able to withdraw your bonuses.
It will be a good thing for regular and big-time bettors but it will
be hard for small time gamblers. 20x-40x is too much.
That’s the reality if you go after with your rewards having free spins. The longer you bet, the bigger amount you spend, the more chances of getting free spins. And since it’s considered free, you can’t expect that it will always make you win. Although there are instances that you get to win from free spins but the chances of winning is very low.
There are lucky users who have won good out of the free spins. These free spins lets the users to play without thinking of anything. When money is spent from the pocket surely it disturb the player from free minded play. As it is free money out of free spins the winning instances will be low. I've seen pro gamblers on live streaming making big out of free spins and if we try things will happen in the opposite way.

Lets wait for a day and find who's gonna make the way into the finals. It is Morocco vs Argentina or France vs Argentina. With the today's match win most of the people would've made their minds changed. If Croatia have won in today's match, most of the gamblers who have chosen Morocco to win would've stuck to the decision. Now the winning of Argentina makes them think whether to go with France or Morocco. My choice to win is Morocco.

Whatever be their reasons for leaving, it is worth it. Life is too short to remain in a place where one doesn't have the energy to perform or tolerate a boss or leader who never knew much about the system before acquiring the system.
Musk is just doing business. Perhaps his ideologies and impositions don't sync well with those who had been behind the current success of Twitter. Patience is one virtue the employees who are left standing should exude. Musk has his own ideas that he intends to implement and who ever doesn't agree with him as seen, is always free to sign out, please.
It is really hard to work in an atmosphere where one wasn't able to tolerate the activities of the boss. Yesterday Twitter have started its service based on premium. Few hours Twitter was completely down and slowly the blue tick is added to the users who had paid the premium. He's into pure business, and Twitter is going to cause him downfall. Already the market value fluctuation and Musk selling big volume of his shares have landed him down from the first position on the billionaire list.
1324  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gambling today and lesson i learnt (lost 2000 usd today) on: December 12, 2022, 11:46:08 PM
I had some major losses months ago and decided to quit gambling. I could continue betting, coming back with a larger bankroll to recover losses with fast and few bets like OP is doing and displaying with his currently statistics, but I prefered to not risk anymore. Good for him that he is making awesome progress so far, however, we know it's not possible to maintain results sustainable on long run. Inevitably it becomes a snowball of unrecoverable losses after a while.
It’s not just losses but even if you are making significant profits in gambling, it’s still best to not see it as a sustainable source of profits or income. Learn to quit from it eventually. And just like OP, after you make money, then leave. While others bet more to win more, but that’s become unrealistic when it comes to gambling. Because I believe to gamble is to lose, and the more you bet, the more chances of losing your money at the end of the day.
Yes. We will see ourselves losing in the end if we always gamble for profits. As gambling is made to entertain us, but we don’t see it that way. Instead, we gamble for more money and hoping it could make us consistently profitable and end up with a bigger bankroll. But we all know that the house keep us watching, and they make sure that house will always win. So let’s just be realistic, if you are not a productive gambler anymore, then quit. That’s the best way to get rid of your future losses.
If we were able to change our mindset then surely gambling will be good. As said we always consider gambling as a way to earn. This is really wrong, and we don't have the mindset to accept in that way. House always wins, though we're lucky. We earn and finally the greed will push us and end up losing big. As suggested it is good to analyse ourselves and take the right decision, if not the financial problems will ruin entire life.
1325  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin will not become the world currency. on: December 12, 2022, 11:37:56 PM
After I figured it out, I no longer expect Bitcoin to be recognized by the state, and it doesn't need to be.
You will still need countries to legalize Bitcoin and allow it to be used in your country. Because if your country prohibits it, then you won't be able to transact there, whether it's for trading or for service payments.

He can still transact with Bitcoin even a country did not legalize the use of it.  But of course if you do illegal things, there is always consequences.
It is possible to transact unlike the legal status of bitcoin on the country. Different countries have made ban over cryptocurrency usage and still people from those countries continue using it through all possible ways. Finding the loopholes have turned to be more interesting. Grin
It is part of a special asset, not a currency.
So I don't think Bitcoin is going to become a fiat currency.
Bitcoin in some countries is recognized as a currency, while some countries treat BTC as a commodity asset, and some other countries ban bitcoins in their territories. But none of the countries and users think that Bitcoin will become a fiat, because Bitcoin is not a fiat, and will never be a fiat.

True Bitcoin will never be a fiat currency because government won't reissue it as their fiat currency.  The government will not take responsibility on Bitcoin.  Government will only allow it as legal tender, mode of payment or an alternative to fiat currency.
Countries have already shown greenlight and that means it is getting considered as currency same as that we use. Based on the legality, governments support as well as stand away from cryptocurrency. In majority of the countries cryptocurrency is legalized and not considered as legal tender. With time change happens for sure as bitcoin is very young by its existence.
1326  Economy / Economics / Re: Crypto Currency should be Integrated into School Curriculum on: December 12, 2022, 10:08:03 PM
It's time for cryptocurrencies to enter the school curriculum so that students can get to know them earlier, a lot of what students will get when they get to know cryptocurrencies, for example, is creating a new blockchain network that can be used for many purposes, for example, school payment transactions and so on.
There are schools already who integrate crypto on their curriculum but obviously, the number of them is still low but I know that their number can grow later on knowing that the popularity of crypto is also growing. It's important for the students to learn crypto as early as possible because they can get benefits from it like they can start investing on it at a very young age.

We know that crypto value can grow huge. By the time these kids are already at their proper age, that will be the time that they will use the money that they have invested. It can greatly help them. Another one is they can land a career easily because crypto jobs are going to be in demand in the future.
Teaching children about the decentralised network will let them know the basics as well as make them understand the positive and negative things of decentralisation. Adding curriculum to the school children needs to be done in such a way that it should not make them feel bored.

El Salvador have begun diploma program on bitcoin with the support of the Ministry of Education. Such a move could be taken by different countries and further moved down to the level of schools. Governments launching book similar to "My First Bitcoin" will let people around understand bitcoin in a simple way. Maybe such books can be distributed on schools.
1327  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What Bitcoin unit look like in real life on: December 12, 2022, 09:59:36 PM
Can I ask you a question to answer your question?

How will you show your friends what their money looks like in their Bank account or their Credit card? .... I will show them the digital representation of my Bank balance on my Banking App.... or I will draw a Bank statement from my Bank.  Wink

Now the difference with Bitcoin is this.... there is no centralized Bank..... but rather a decentralized "database" if I can call it that... with the transaction history of all bitcoin transfers that were ever made. Your bitcoins and your transaction history can be drawn from this Blockchain database, with Blockchain explorers. (it consists of a combination of letters and numbers.. like your Bank statement)

This explanation is over simplified to explain it to newbies.  Grin
That's precise and clear. Anyone can understand it in a very simple way. No one knows whether the specified amount is being transferred between the accounts, mere number reflection happens between the buyer and sender done by a third person. We believe in it, just because it have physical presence. With cryptocurrency same thing happens through a decentralised network were we can keep track of every activity associated with the numbers that are completely virtual without physical shape.

Out of 32 teams from 8 groups now four teams from the group B, C, D & F have entered the semifinals. Within a week the World Cup for the year gonna end and the discussion begins about the next scheduled World Cup. As many users mentioned, it is the mistake from the coach. We should also think it in the opposite way, if Ronaldo was able to score few goals and win the match. Everyone could've kept praising the coach. Rather than complaining it is the fate.
1329  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 11, 2022, 11:21:50 PM
Of course, but they have to win against France, it's tough. Above the statistical record Morocco will not win. But as you said, Morocco has become an unexpected force. There aren't many star players, but their spirits are currently in a green image, fighting spirit ready to fight. The victory in the previous party made them unstoppable until now. I don't dare to bet against France, in terms of quality I actually prefer France but Morocco has a spirit that is beyond expectations.
Morocco got a very lucky victory because they managed to score a goal from a bait kick from outside the penalty box which was accidentally scored and the opposing goalkeeper had difficulty getting the ball, teamwork and luck were the keys to victory from Maroco, at least Morocco were able to prove that they were able to advance until to the Finals.
Morocco might've got this win as a lucky one. From the very beginning we can't say the team have reached the semifinals out of luck. In every round Morocco have given the best and have reached the semifinals. Surely Morocco will reach the finals. This is my choice out of fluke, and lets wait for two more days to know the outcome.

The wager requirements for the Bonus Drops and for Eddie's bonus drops during his Streaming are slowly crawling towards $10 000.... Do you think it is getting too high? (It is not about countering bots anymore)  Roll Eyes

I have never followed eddie's stream for bonus drop and giveaway so I have no idea how much users get from the bonus drop during the stream. Is it the same as the daily bonus drop in telegram? If the bonus drop worth twice or even more than the one in telegram, $10k wager requirement is not too high imo. Obviously too high or not can be different as some players with low bankroll and low wager activity may consider it as too high, but it can be something normal for active users who can wager that amount.
I don't know where you live but wagering $10k by week, that is to say nearly $50k by month is not normal bro, it means you are a high roller able to bet very high stakes or a gambling addict spending hours a day on Stake, but normal bettors can't afford to reach that requirement every week. It's only for so-called "VIP" Platinum 3+. It must be a incentive to encourage normal bettors to bet more.
$10k wagering every week is really big and it can't be achieved by normal gamblers with small bankroll. Maybe someone lucky could make it happen out of some tricks and the luck accompanying him. As said, for a high roller this isn't big, because the minimum these guys spend will be $200. This means 50 rolls will reach the $10k wager.

aside from that argentina has a bigger chance to step into the final.
Seriously I will like to see Morroco and Croatia in final, I just hope Morroco will be able to defeat France and Croatia will be able to defeat Argentina, so that Morroco and Croatia will fight for the 1st position in world cup and France VS Argentina will fight for the third position.
Myself too have the same wish of Morocco and Croatia making to the final. This time both Argentina and France will take it seriously and do the best from the very beginning. Each missing opportunity will down the play progress. I even placed bet on Croatia and Morocco and my prayers are for them to win the match. From the beginning we have come across surprises. Let the semifinals too bring big surprise.
1332  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Are the Whales Control bitcoin price? on: December 11, 2022, 09:46:41 PM
we all know no one can controls the bitcoin price because bitcoin isn't like bank, stock and valas. but if the whales owned 51% of bitcoin, can do it?. if happen, does decentralization not exist?
Yes nobody can control it likewise the whales but the whales influence the price of bitcoin. The whales can not control your wallet and that is the decentralized exchange system we are talking about on bitcoin. They can only influence the price not the coin. So bitcoin is still decentralized in all time. Why it is decentralized  because of the p2p nature of bitcoin.
Control over bitcoin is a myth. In the past it happens when whales in the market make some movement of funds. This creates panic among the common people and when the users start reacting to it, market fluctuates. This gets used by the whales. This is how market movements happened in the past. Now people are well aware of the market and doesn't react to whale moves. This shows Whales were able to make some movement, but that doesn't mean control over the market.

The crushing victory in the quarterfinals over the Swiss national team with a score of 6-1 played a cruel joke and excessive self-confidence with the head coach of the Portuguese national team, Fernando Santos. He thought that all the reasons for the problems of the team's game lie in one person and this person is Ronaldo, and therefore again decided to repeat the trick and not release Cristiano from the very beginning of the game. But the harsh reality refuted his plan and the team, on the contrary, began the second half losing with a score of 1-0 and only then was Ronaldo released on the field. It is quite possible that if Ronaldo had entered the field from the very beginning, the final result would have been much more favorable for Portugal, and Ronaldo was not used to solving problems during his entire career by coming on as a substitute. In contrast, in the Argentine national team, Lionel Scaloni patiently keeps Messi on the field for the entire match, in which he absolutely can walk around the field most of the time, completely not participating in team actions, but with his several actions he can decide the outcome of the match.
Yes, the overconfidence and underestimating the teams have taught them the lesson. Portugal never expected this to happen. As said Ronaldo could've been allowed on the field from the very beginning. Not in the field and suddenly taking the responsibility will not give hands every time. In the previous match it is their good and lucky day and the same doesn't happen all the time.

This is totally disappointing to see the performance of Pakistan's batsmen. Such a poor performance was not expected. Pakistan lost their third wicket for 142 runs. And they lost all the wickets to collect only 60 runs. The batsmen should have batted more responsibly. Batting like this, it is foolish to expect good results against a team like England.

England scored 202 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their second innings. And now they have managed to take a lead of 281 runs. I think England will declare their innings even if they take a lead of 400 runs. But taking a lead of 400 runs will not be easy for England.
Yeah, totally disappointment from their performance in first two test matches as I was expecting strength in batting after poor performance in first test match, but sadly they are not working on this and have few poor selections like Mohammad Nawaz and Salman both are not good with having few better choices, but they are stick with these surely make no sense because Fawad and Shan moth deserved chance but nothing positive happening for the team and these players.

After end of two days play we have 25 wickets and England is leading by 282 which is very healthy on this pitch as you are going to play fourth inning hopefully tomorrow after having 400+ they will declare and give Pakistan more than two days for chase which will never do this because of their batting quality is not good for having target like this.
Pakistan haven't managed to play good, as in every match Babar Azam had done his contribution. Shakeel have scored good, after them no one was able to make some runs that help in reaching close to the target. As said England will have plans of declaring after 400+ runs. The chances were very narrow for Pakistan, but the home ground advantage might give hands to some extent.

It is a nice presentation of yours. You really tried for sponsoring this kind of program in your locality. At least this will encourage and give awareness to a lot of people and through this program many will join and invest on bitcoin and it will make the bitcoin community more popular and increase the number. Well done.
More people keeps trying and doing the best to support the spread about bitcoin. In specific most of them are good in giving better awareness about the market and how to have things secure not fall to scammers. Looks like the widespread is happening around African countries is large scale compared to the rest of the world. Hope the small efforts will help with better outcomes.

These losses could be a blessing in disguise before WC, and in a way might help with the selection  Huh
This is a great point. The Indian team have been performing badly across all formats in recent times which is why big changes are necessary to help them rise back up in an efficient and effective manner.
I would say they are performing badly in white-ball cricket only. They are still a tough team to beat in tests despite their fuckery in a couple of matches.

I noticed that in this thread many posters are writing off Kohli in ODI but IMO he's a GOAT in this format. In modern cricket, no one comes close to him so I'll bet on him without any doubt. 
At any point Indian selection team will think of some other player in the place of Kohli. He have got his ability and doing the best. People want him to perform in each and every match. This is something that can't happen with any of the players. As said Kohli is unique, no one comes clos to him as well as no one can be compared with him in terms of performance.

On stumps of day 2 of second test, West Indies are 102 and lost 4 wickets in there first innings. Australia scored 511 runs and declared there innings. Marnus Labuschagne and Travis Head both scored 163 and 175 runs respectively. WI are not in good position at the moment, Devon Thomas and Marquino Mindley are making there debut from WI side. Seems like an easy second win for Australia.
West Indies will lose the match without any doubt. Australia is dominating in the second test match too as the way they did it in the first test. I think West Indies will get all out within 200 runs and Australia will start the second innings with a good lead.
On the other hand, Pakistan is doing good against England. Hopefully they will take a lead in the first innings. They haven't made a batting friendly pitch in this test.
This is going to be 2-0 series win for Australia. In the first match Australia scored 598 runs and declared the innings. This time it is 511 runs and declared. In the first test West Indies scored 283 runs and this time probably not above 250 runs. Almost similar pattern of play, however the match ends in the last day's session. Better play out of West Indies could make the match more competing than just a one sided match.

Very exciting and crazy last few minutes of extra time we have seen now between Argentina and Netherlands, many dangerous and so close chances to score from Argentina to kill the match but failed. They seem afraid of penalties and since the start of this cup all the teams that managed to draw could win in penalties like Croatia for example
My heart kept pounding and finally it was Argentina to win the match on penalty shoot. 2(3)-2(4). Big match and big performance from both the teams. In specific I loved the way Netherlands played the match. Playing against a team with massive support isn't an easy thing. Got astonished with the global support for Argentina which is 132 million whereas for Netherlands it is just 28 million.

This is for specific location. Long back itself it have widened it's service with cryptocurrency addition. We haven't got a big list of cryptocurrencies, but initially bitcoin, ethereum, bitcoin cash and Litecoin were availed for buying, selling and transferring through PayPal. Years back co-founder of PayPal Peter Thiel mentioned in an interview, if he have come to know about the existence of blockchain technology before PayPal, he would've used it in the PayPal. So, a good support from PayPal to crypto is not a new thing.

I remembered that in my region there are a lot of aged men who come together to analyze the possibility of a particular number been used as draws they mostly do their analysis using jersey numbers but they do this analysis using news papers but not television as stated by the op I don't know if it is related to the idea of the op.



I understand this one you are talking about. The old men usually hangout forecasting through the soccer news paper to analyse on what draws will come during the weekend. It is almost same as the one the guy followed up on the TV because it is also about studying and reading of the numbers appearing that week. He also cross checked his forecast on the soccer newspaper to confirm same numbers. This is years back actually.
Both were the same, just the difference on the source through which the information is being taken. For me it is something new and hadn't used to it. In what all way we predict using different tactics and strategies, the outcome is kind of coincidence to the lucky one.
