Griezmann was delivering sensational kind of football in his first spell at Atletico Madrid but has failed to deliver kind of football in his second spell.
I don't know which Griezmann you watched but the Antoine Griezmann of Atletico was exceptional last season.
Griezmann was even in the La Liga team of the season and was a candidate for the player of the season.

If he feels Saudi is the best decision for him then fine. Atletico need money and they might be happy to sell, but I doubt they would want to lose Griezmann.
Griezmann still wants to stay at Atletico and Atletico still want to keep Griezmann but they might sell him to balance the books if a good offer arrives.
Most of the time peoples have no idea what are they talking and who they are talking about, but things are going as usual with Antonia Griezmann is surely one of the best striker from France, and he is doing good in Atlético Madrid while he has some ups and downs as well, but his career is still good, and he can do better in next few years even now he is in limelight for possible transfer but most chances he will not go with this and keep his place here in Atlético Madrid which is good side and can do better in this season as well.

Diego Simone needs to change his tactics and strategy which is not allowing them for having aggressive approach and better results because recently his defensive approach is not working, hopefully things will be change and both Antonio Griezmann and Atlético Madrid will be at their best for this season again.

What makes you think that a person who is addicted to gambling won't just go to the settings and unblock the websites they use to gamble? The urge to gamble can make an addicted gambler do anything only to get access to gambling if they have got money, so this wouldn't really be able to stop them from gambling in my opinion. It might be useful if someone isn't yet addicted and they want to reduce their screen time with gambling because they can control the urge.

A gambler who has become a heavy addict can only be stopped if someone else helps them get out of it, maybe reduce their access to their devices or make them get access to only a limited amount of money and keep the rest somewhere safe so that they can use them later when needed.
1203  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: is it possible to invest in bitcoin to build a country whose economy is down? on: August 05, 2023, 05:39:10 AM
I thought you were going to talk about the government of a certain country making an investment in Bitcoin to make the economy better because the economy of a country is not in the hands of its citizens, they might have some influence in it but they can't make it good or bad, it's all about how the government governs the state and how they manage things, especially finances so that they keep getting more money from what they have instead of losing it.

Also, since Bitcoin is an unpredictable asset when it comes to its price, you never know what's going to happen tomorrow. What if a government invests $5 Billion in Bitcoin and the price drops 50% within a month, that will be devastating for them and their economy. So I don't really find it to be a viable solution for that problem.

Ronaldo has about 830+ goals, give or take 840 if I am not wrong, not 160, even young stars have more goals than 160 goals, don't know where that number came from.

However, of course he is scoring, he is much better than this level and yes he had trouble and he will keep having trouble in the future as well, dry spells are normal part of football and happens to everyone, plus considering he is getting closer to 40 by the day, his body may not be doing what he wants to do, which makes him not score the way he wants to score like he used to. But that doesn't change the fact that he is still above this level and his team is getting better as well, needs better defense for sure but aside from that midfield and wings are much better this season.
1205  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Have you ever felt remorse after gambling? on: August 04, 2023, 06:55:49 PM
I saw this online and thought maybe i should bring on to bitcointalk for discussion.

If a person gamble and at the end of the game he starts to feel remorse is that a good thing or should the person be on alert?
it is painful when one losses game even though he didn't express himself out. But he might tell his friends that the game that he loss was painful and some would encouraged him. Gamblers that didn't not feel that way are not much. Those who are playing for fun feel that pain because they are not expected to loss perpetually. It is when you win and loss that make the gambling more interesting.
But coming to the demo account, you don't have to be worry when using demo account because you loss nothing. Though you will feel small remorse but when you realize that it is demo then you pick courage and play again.
Not only in gambling, losing in anything in life is painful, whether it's a sports match that you are a part of, a competition that you were participating in, a gaming battle with a friend, or anything in general, when you win, you feel proud and happy, but when you lose, you feel remorse and sadness, but that is a part of our life and we will have to go through that throughout our lives until we die because there will always be challenges, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.

When we talk about gambling, those who gamble to get profit would feel more remorse after losing because they see their source of earning money fading away, and those who gamble just for fun might not feel good if they lose but they won't have the same amount of remorse as the ones I mentioned above.
1206  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 04, 2023, 06:16:43 PM
That generally happens with slot machines because they have a certain RTP (Return To Player) which makes the game return a specific percentage of the amount wagered back to the player, so if you have wagered $50 and the RTP is 50% for example, you will get back $25 through a win during your session, but I'm not really sure if games like keno, dice, limbo, crash, and others have RTPs or not, if they do, it's because of that, if they don't it's just based on your luck.

I've seen people hitting very big multipliers when playing on slot machines on their first spin, so it happens in gambling where sometimes you win a significant amount at the beginning and sometimes you don't win anything even after a lot of spins, a wise gambler would feel this and stop when they see there are no wins at all.

Malta it should be as a pro-gambling nation here in European Union.
A lot of gambling/casinos decide to set up their operation on the small island of Mediterranean sea.
For what I have seen during the last decade, the vast majority of crypto gambling sites are based in Curacao Roll Eyes
Even if they are based in Curacao or not, most of them are licensed from there and the reason for that is obviously because they issue licenses to online casinos without much criteria or anything or maybe because their licenses have more credibility because even the largest sports book and casino platform - Stake has a license from Curacao as it can be seen on their licenses page and in the footer of the website, so it definitely has something in it.

I always wonder if the license issuing firms actually have frequent checks on the platforms and how they are doing or have anything to do with how they are managing their businesses and the gamblers, and whether they are following AML and KYC rules or not, but I'm still not sure if they do so or not.

sometimes when we're very stressed, or tired from some kind of difficult activity, we can take the option of playing in a video game, which isn't really a bet, but sometimes it kind of relaxes a bit. play, it doesn't matter what game it is, just do it to do something different, maybe seeing things how they develop in the games is something that helps a lot, personally I want to be a little calmer when playing, sometimes we If we are in a casino and we are stressed, that can make us lose a lot of money, but otherwise if the person takes it as something therapeutic, even more things can be achieved.

I am a person who likes to watch Twitch a lot, it is something that also relaxes me, some twitch players bet very hard, that is something that sometimes seems exaggerated to me, but at the same time entertains, these things when combined with a good drink or something like that you can learn many things, and that is the important thing that in any eventuality you can take out an arrest, on Twitch when the NFT games were in full swing it was when I liked to participate the most, other I remember that they were Scholarships and everything that had to do with Axie were fashionable, and despite the fact that they were games that gave money at that time, there was nothing and it was fun to be there watching how they played and how they did many things, how strategies were applied and how They could sometimes win with a team from Axies, in the case of the scholarship holders they had those scholarships
Whether it's a cryptocurrency/NFT related game or just a video game that you like, when you are stressed and tired, you really enjoy both watching and playing those games because it relaxes you and you start feeling better. I myself enjoy playing games a lot when I'm either sad, stressed, alone, or bored, and I also watch streamers a lot, not a lot on Twitch but on YouTube, but the point is that I enjoy the streams whether it's about gambling or any other game that I like.

I really love videos and streams where streamers play slots because it is fun to watch someone else play with high bets as you enjoy the experience and see how much they manage to win or lose, I specifically love it when they play Sweet Bonanza and buy free spins, it sometimes make them win a lot and sometimes they lose the money spent.
1209  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 04, 2023, 05:41:44 AM
Dembele is going to fill Messi's void at PSG as it seems. This transfer is happening all of a sudden really. I didn't even know whether there was a release clause of Dembele worth 50 million euros until last Monday until PSG made an offer for him. I don't see any update so I hope PSG managed to benefit from that.

Dembele has a really great skillset. If he doesn't have problem any adaptation problem here which I don't expect at all he should be making a significant level of contribution. Mbappe is also likely to stay this season. But I don't know about Neymar's future. If he stays I won't be surprised in case he gets a lasting injury again.
Apart from that I highlight the worth of the 50 million euros that Paris Saint Germain has spent, does it really work? This is based on what Dembele has gone through with Barcelona, he has shown no progress in the last two seasons with Barca. I honestly doubt Dembele's performance, but it would be fairer to see his debut first.
It looks like Luis Enrique will need to prepare alternative options if Dembele did not perform as expected
There is no doubt about this skill and quality but here we have another issue is this surely going to work for the PSG, or they are going to have another Neymar into their squad because Barcelona's big signs never work for the PSG, and they also lost huge funds as well so look like things like this can happen again, and they have to have proper replacement for him as well if they want to have better end of the next season.

Even right now, things are not clear how they are going to manage because Mbappé future is not clear with injury porn Neymar is only main striker and now after having another injury porn striker Dembélé can they fight hard for the title of Champions League, or we are going to have another poor exit from them in this season even Luis Enrique is good coach and can keep things under control for the better result with these quality players.

The reason why Real Madrid lose against Juventus is Real Madrid use a strategy where it depend on Bellingham as an attacking midfielder. They're more comfortable when the midfielder backing up other midfielder and working together.
Even bellingham can do nothing against juventus. This guy still lacks of experience. He needs more experience in the football. Im very surprising to see that madrid was making more than 35 shoots but only 8 shoots were on target which is very bad.
Madrid's strategy was not going so well. Bellingham shall not become main chooose for madrid for the upcoming season.
Even I agreed about this all with you but still you have to understand they are in their early days and just adjusting, hopefully things could be much better and positive in coming days because they are going to be had good time ahead in the coming season Jude Bellingham is surely big player, and he can do much better than he performs in last game against Juventus.

Joselu it surely needs to be much better but most chances we will have Mbappé in squad before end of this transfer window which could be huge boost for the Real Madrid in coming season and things could be well-balanced for the both top teams in La Liga because right now we are also having some issues in Barcelona and few players can leave club in coming days which could be problem for them as well.

Al ittihad was winning against al shorta yesterday and benzema is giving another goal for al ittihad again. Bet Benzema's gonna be the top scorer in the Saudi club champion league. Im not feeling doubt caused by he is now leading the top scorer leaderboard right now. Al ittihad already qualified for quarter final of arab club champion league. Ittihad has been making the right decision by buying benzema from real madrid. It doesn't even matter where he was and his name will always be mentioned in tthe top scorer leaderboard.

Benzema's performance is always consistent. I do like how this striker is always able adapting easily without any problem.
Without any doubt Karim Benzema is one of the best striker with his ability to adjust in any condition is also amazing with this performance most chances he is going to have good results in coming season and surely this could be impressive for the Al-Ittihad which spend good amount for him in transfer even right now many changes still in discussion with few top ranked players are under radar of Saudi League organizers which want to have good mark in this season.

Al-Ittihad which is going to defend his title already have good results and their challengers which are also spending good amount for the improvement of their squad is also in good shape going to have good competition most chances we will have again trio of Al-Ittihad, Al-Hilal and Al-Nassr at the top of league because these are currently had enough sources for staying at the top.
1212  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 02, 2023, 08:24:04 PM
I still think that Al-Nassr needs to think about their defense. Look at the team and look at the defense. To make it understand better, the eleven there is worth 133 million right now, and I would argue some of them worth even more, but valued less. But 4 players at the defense and goalkeeper combined worths 7 million of it. So they have 7 players who worth 126 million, and 4 players that worth 7 million. That is a very very bad transfer method, they need to get a lot better players there.

Especially when you consider their two main center backs worth just 2 million dollars combined, you realize that they do not have any defense at all. This can't be good for them, the results will still be not that great if they keep this up.
1213  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Pros and Cons of Crypto vs. Traditional Gambling on: August 02, 2023, 04:48:40 PM
I'm not sure what you are talking about because most of the casinos and gambling platforms these days require one to verify their identity either at the beginning or sometime later when they are depositing or trying to make a withdrawal, and if there is a minor behind an account, they simply can't verify the account, it's another thing if an elder person helps them in verifying the account and lets them gamble, but that is not the fault of the casino at all.
This only applies to some crypto casinos, but still, many crypto casinos don't require any form of verification until you start to violate one of their rules. It could change in the future because they can update their terms and conditions, but we're still far from seeing most crypto casinos make KYC a requirement. Most of my accounts are still non-verified and gamblers can get away without going through KYC as long as they don't do something wrong and only use amounts within their threshold.
Well, in that case, the parents will need to take care of their children and keep checking their devices so that they are not involved in gambling activities because if they get into gambling at such a small age, they will definitely get addicted to it when they grow up, and they might even do bad things only to get money so that they can gamble with it because they probably can't ask their parents for money if they are using it for gambling because if they lose it, they will be asked where they used the money.

And, as long as I know, most crypto casinos ask for KYC verification when you go for a withdrawal, especially if the amount is not as per your usual withdrawals because that makes them suspicious about your account and that makes them ask you to verify your identity before processing the withdrawal.
1214  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: As a gambler do you have a potential winning amount limit? on: August 02, 2023, 03:54:20 PM
My main focus on this thread is in this question: as a gambler do you place your bet according to the weight of your financial need or you're always okay with whatever amount that comes out as potential win no matter how small amount?
Of course, financial ability is the main capital, that happened to me personally, for sure I don't want to have problems in the future because of gambling, I know very well the effects caused by gambling, that's the main reason I consider my financial quality very much.

As a whole there are winners and losers in gambling, this is a phenomenon that all gamblers cannot avoid, for me considering small bets is a good thing, we never know the final outcome of the bet, except: the game we play is absolutely accurate will win, but it's rare, for that risking large amounts of money is not a good consideration for me, I like small bets with small wins and low risk.
And it's not only about the bet limit whether it's small or big, but it is also about the potential wins that a gambler might get, and taking the right decisions at the right time in gambling plays a vital role because most of the time, gamblers don't stop when they win something because they become greedy and want to win even more with that and they eventually lose it all back to the house, so the most important thing is to stop when the time is right.

As a gambler, one must have a lot of self-control so that they can control their greed and have some control over their emotions so that they can exit the casino at the exact same time as they hit a big win which might be useful for them later but if they gamble more, they will have nothing left.
1215  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A weird belief among some gamblers. on: August 02, 2023, 03:18:10 PM
I dont know if this is just a coincidence or its like superstition but I once experienced something that made me confused when betting on esport predicting every game and starting to bet there and the next day I saw the bet slip I won all but when I predicted some bets again and tried to tell the prediction I told some of my friends and they followed my bet and finally lost the bet. after that I tried again to predict and bet without telling my friend but in fact my bet won and tried again and told my friend but at that time my prediction was wrong.
after that I paused and thought about what the problem was and was this just a coincidence or was this like a law of nature that you dont need to have a mind telling other people about your predictions but if you think about it logically its just about luck but this happened several times and I concluded that actually sharing the results of predictions is not necessary because there is definitely a risk of losing and if people who imitate our bets also lose it will be like a loss so until now when I predict most of them I keep it to myself without telling anyone except when Im a little hesitant to ask for people consideration other than my prediction.
I can't say about others and what happens to them but if I talk about my personal experiences, I've never experienced something like this nor have I seen it happening with anyone else, so I don't believe anything like that exists. It all can be a coincidence where you and your friends were destined to lose the bets that you guys lost and won what you were destined to win, and the losses were not only because you've informed your friends about them.

These are all superstitions and it is all because our minds think about them that way, otherwise, if we don't think that way, it's a normal thing to lose some bets and win some, and these are pure coincidence that you are losing your bets when telling others and winning when betting alone.

I would guess that Arda Guler just got into Pintus curse that's it Cheesy. If you think about it, most of the young stars that Real gets under 20 years old, enters a heavy load training and that of course makes them prone to injury a lot more as well. Vinicious was constantly injured if people remember it, before he was who he is right now, when he was just a young talented fast winger that everyone considered just decent, he was constantly getting injured because he worked too hard on training.

I am sure that the same thing happened to Arda Guler as well, he worked hard with the team and put a lot of workload on his body and that resulted with him getting injured for now, maybe he will reinjure later on as well, this is just basically powering his body for a while. After 20 years old or so, he will be an indestructible machine, like all Madrid players.
1217  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Between futures trading and gambling on: August 01, 2023, 06:19:29 PM
There are many gamblers that can gamble just to have some fun and make money in the process and there are some that focus on gambling only to make money so I would like to ask such people a question.

would you prefer to gamble in a casino and make some money or learn about futures trading and make some money?

Which one do you actually find to be more easier and I believe that futures trading is also capable of giving someone life-changing money but which one do you believe is less risky than the other?

Futures trading is gambling in my opinion. You’re just making bets on companies and their ability to over or underperform expectations. Since it isn’t a black and white type of gambling it could give people the illusion that futures are some type of investment, but they are a really poor way to invest and a great way to gamble.
No, it isn't. Just because the outcome in futures trading is also unknown it doesn't make it pure gambling. To get to know the difference between futures trading and gambling, take one regular gambler and one regular futures trader, and ask them about the results they tend to get in a week's time, the answers will surely let you know the difference and how gambling is not exactly the same as futures trading because you don't blindly open trades in futures trading but it's all done after a process.

So people who trade in futures that have knowledge and experience about it tend to win more trades than they lose and they make trades with proper risk-management such as stop-loss where you don't lose everything even if you lose a trade, while in gambling, a bet that you lose takes away the whole amount you have wagered.

If you meet the requirements and have claimed but not credited, the support team can help you I have experienced it but with a different case.
Yes, I know about that, I want to claim it too because I have lost quite a lot in slots the past 3 days. Ok I'll follow your advice to contact CS, hopefully it works out to my expectations. Previously I also had problems with deposits, but it didn't take long to solve, I think it only took 3 minutes to solve my problem.
Ouch, that was sad but maybe you should be alarmed now and set your limits if you haven't yet. Don't let the same mistakes happen again because it could get worse and you might get addicted in gambling. Slots are highly addictive.

This is the reason why I just stick on one game even though I'm aware that there are thousands of them and there might be better slot games than the ones that I'm currently playing right. You already have a good experience with the support of BK8 so I expect they will never fail you again this time. It was nice to know that they have an attentive and helpful support, not like to others out there especially to the ones that I know. They deserved to be abandoned.
1219  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lotteries and possibility vs. probability on: August 01, 2023, 02:48:29 PM
The thing is that when the price at stake is very high, people would want to have a trial to see if they stand a chance of winning not minding the probability of winning it, they believe on the possibility of winning by luck, and situations like this would always occur especially when someone else have proved that it's possible to win from the particular event, let's say for instance I have a friend that's won or heard about someone that won a lottery a huge sum of money with just a small amount, that alone would make me one to try as well and see if there's a possibility of winning just like my friend, everyone have dreams of being rich and think of different possible ways of making their dreams a reality and there are people who are lucky enough to achieve their dreams through lottery.
 Most individuals would try their luck to see if they stand a chance of winning the huge prizes from lottery hence it's popularity, the price at stake would always attract people to have a fair trial of winning, even though the possibility is very high but there are chance that one could be lucky to win it and since there's a possibility of using a small money to win a jackpot people would always want to give it a trial thereby making lottery becoming more popular.
I think you mean "prize" not price. Price is what we pay for the ticket. It act as a bet but if it's very high, people will be intimidated on trying it. Offline lotteries have no trial, not like to the online ones where there are free bets. In spite of it people still tries them because the tickets are not that costly enough. They just start there slowly until the addiction builds up and they are now a regular lottery bettor even though majority of them haven't experience to win yet even with just a small amount.

Lottery is a game that is based on luck but there are people who brainstorm or think of things that could possibly increase their chances of winning.

There are still other ways that we can do in order to change our life, not just through the lottery and they are more achievable but sometimes people are only lazy to start doing them. Lottery is popular due to its huge prize. It's possible because of its crazily high odds and the prize will just stack if no winner is recorded.
1220  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: is right time for investment ? on: August 01, 2023, 11:34:15 AM
Don't think this is the right time to invest in the crytocurrency market now still not that good at the moment,think bull market will only return if we can be able to break the 30-31k resistance level to make a weekly higher high on the chart.If that doesn't happen I'm not sure of buying more altcoins to add to my portfolio.
Do you buy when the market is going up? You can get stuck if the market traps you by going up a little and then dipping again, the price of Bitcoin went above $31k earlier, it touched $31.5k but couldn't go higher and came back down as we can clearly see, so I don't think that a price hike only above $30k should be a trigger for investors to start buying, isn't the current price a better buying position since we are still down? But we can always see the market going down a bit more from here.

Also, we are still a long way to the bull run, buying and holding altcoins from this point until the bull run might not be a good idea as we know that altcoins can always face problems in the long run, what if a coin that you buy now crashes badly before the bull run? That will be a total wastage of the money.
