Just go and check the results of tennis today,Europa Conference League,Champions League preliminaries some days ago and you will see a lot of surprise results.These surprise results are common since the gambling and betting on sports started,back in the days of Pele,Kroif and many other legendary players we did not see such surprise results this common and this often.This does not mean that football is better today,in fact completely the opposite,football because of gambling companies interfering some times by bribing the players of a team or a president of the team,makes gambling absolutely a not so steady income,maybe in the past you could do well with sport betting but right now it is impossible.
Dynamics keep changing over time, whether it's of a sport or anything else, but to be honest, that isn't the only reason why gambling shouldn't be considered a way to earn constant income, because even if there is no interference from cheaters and those who bribe players and teams to lose matches or do certain things so that their team loses the match only for them to win their bets and earn a lot of money, gambling still will be just a game of luck.

I know that sports betting generally involves a lot of research and analysis and one needs to have a lot of knowledge and experience regarding a specific sport but at the end of the day, their luck can still make them win or lose in certain matches where they may never have expected a win or a loss.

Some AI can really work and if you happen to find one of such AI it will be much profiting like just like trading AI, but the challenge is that AI can't guarantee 100% chances and no bot can guarantee that also but then we can say that since AI is a new development one need to take the time to really understand its mechanism and operational approach and since AI has to do with programming codes it then means that AI will act according to the scripted programs and codes.
So be that as it may, it means that we have to go unto some form of research to uncover all the potentials and limitations of AI presents.
No AI regardless of how advanced it may be can guarantee short term results, however just as a casino can suffer a loss due to a gambler being lucky but then they can recover that money easily if given enough time, an AI dedicated to gambling could do the same, however developing such an AI should be incredibly difficult as before you can do it you will need to be an expert gambler and an expert on the field of AI, and very few people are experts at both of those topics.
There cannot be AIs that can beat the random numbers generated by the casinos using RNGs because that is the only way one can beat the casino, and it is definitely not going to be difficult to create an AI that will simply set the parameters and click a button for you because that is what a human does when playing gambling games and that is exactly what an AI would do as well, they won't be able to beat the casino in any possible way as the results are generated randomly.

Now even if there are such AI models developed, I don't think it would be fun to use them because the fun factor of gambling is to be able to see the results of a spin or a dice roll and if an AI is doing that, you don't get to see that at all and casinos will also start banning users using such things if detected.

Honestly I hear about all the big names that goes here, but I do not know their teams for example. Like I know Ronaldo is Al-Nassr, we have heard about that all the time, but if you asked me where Benzema or Kante is, I wouldn't be able to tell you their teams, I can tell you they are in this league, but no idea about their team.

This shows that I am a casual fan and not a real fan I get that, and people who are super interested in these would know exactly which team they are on and what that team finished last year. I will probably get used to it a lot more with time when the games start by seeing them over and over again every week. I will certainly be betting on their games, so I will memorize, but not so far.
I'm also basically not a real fan but at least i still know the name of their team or club, like Ronaldo at Al Nassr, Benzema and Kante at Al Ittihad. In fact, Al Ittihad managed to win the title last season and thus, Al Ittihad is the reigning champion at this moment. Also, there are other title challengers like Al Hilal and to be honest, i remember these three teams because basically, i prefer clubs that can consistently enter the title race every season, and these three teams have fairly good performance in the Saudi Professional League.
Right now most of the teams are doing their stuff with having as many as foreigner players can bring for the next season just because of these things are not clear but new season is going to start from 11th August, and we will have 18 teams for the Saudi Pro League as season will be started all details will be available on many different sites and other social media related sites but still if you want to have all details about this league then please go ahead with this link which is giving all details about this league and players which are joining which teams for the next season.

This season is doing to be most excited because too many big names are already join and fan base is also increased with most chances things could be better than expectations for the soccer fans around the globe.

1304  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: July 14, 2023, 05:55:59 AM
They will need to make up for the striker shortage for Milan. Along with Giroud, a good striker is very important for Milan. Mehdi Taremi may be a good candidate. He had a successful season in Porto and I believe he can be successful in the Italian league as well. I don't know if Taremi will transfer, but Milan definitely needs a striker.
Mehdi Taremi could really be a good option for Milan to think about. His previous season performance at Porto was really impressive. He scored 31 goals in 51 games in total. He is also making an extra contribution with assists - 14 assists in the previous season. These are very impressive stats for a 30-year-old striker.

Taremi's market value is only 18 million euros now but I don't expect Porto to sell him below his release clause worth. It is 60 million euros. I don't think Milan or any other European team would like to pay that much for him. Especially while he is going to be having his last year on his contract next season.
Relatively this was going to be good deal for the AC Milan which are looking for the strength into their attack but right now situation is looking not good for them because few hours ago we have reports about his possible move to Manchester United as Erik ten Haq have good intention of bringing goal machine like this, so his agent is also already in England for the possible deal which is going to complete in coming days even things are favorable as 30 years old Mehdi Taremi could be Manchester United player in coming days

Porto is surely insisting about their demanded amount but Manchester United finances will be not allowing them to spent amount like this but still all things favoring for this deal could be completed, and he will join EPL instead of Serie A as they are also in not good shape for spending amount like we are having from English clubs for the strength of their squads.
1305  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: July 14, 2023, 04:30:49 AM
I don't know the situation of speculation about Harry Kane transfer really steals a lot of attention because he is a pretty good sticker in the premier league. We will see the final bid from Bayern munich for Tottenham whether the 100 million bid will come to Tottenham or bayern munich will lock in their dream of getting Harry kane.
The situation may well be resolved by various bonuses for Kane achieving certain goals in Bayern Munich. Therefore, it may well suit the clubs when Tottenham will receive decent compensation for a player who can leave as a free agent in a year, and Bayern Munich can save if the striker does not meet all expectations.
Levy doesnt' wanna let kane to leave from the club with the price less than 100 million. Impossible for bayern to get him if kahn's club is still sending an offer with less than 100 million valuation to the totenham.

Spurs never interested in selling kane for less than such price. It's not impossible for totenham to reject bayern's last offer again.  Kane is also offered a new contract by levy.
Levy is playing his cards very cleverly with not reducing his asking price because he knows Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are giants of Europe, and they will be gone ahead with this all with as reports coming Bayern Munich is already increased their third bid which is now almost €90 million, and they are also already looking for the possible transfer of their striker Sadio Mané which is indicating they will complete this deal before end of this window because they want better result in coming season and without striker like Harry Kane life is not good for them specially after watching performance like in last season they will go ahead and have this all.

Even now it's good increase from Bayern Munich, and it's time for the Levy to do some possible favor and allow Harry Kane for this transfer because with this huge amount he can bring few good players and keep his team in top 8 teams in EPL which is now looking tough job for them.

I think the site should be updated more often.
I like the site for one reason and that's it has highly filtered and limited casino's on it. though it seems it needs updating for various casinos. Since you have already taken a good amount of effort in creating the site, it's better you research more and update at least on a weekly basis. There are three to four casino names that are a little unstable these days and you should be researching them as well to either update/remove them from the site.

Though it is always good to keep the list limited to highly filtered casinos you can always have a section where another casino which is "people's choice" should be added with a warning that it is not recommended by you. This section can be then added with any number of casinos but obviously with some research. This way you won't limit your site to the current ones. Just so as others wont be missed out.
You mentioned the word update a lot of times. I guess it's obvious that you badly want it. I agree that it's needed because we don't want others to complain and find that feature which are now missing. They can end up blaming the review site and call it a scam. This is the real challenge of creating a gambling review site. Many thinks it easy and they also create their own.

As of now, we have tons of it but if we noticed, many of them are pretty bad. Lots of misleading information. Some are intentional because they take bribes. They say the more the merrier so its a good to add more casinos. They only want to make sure that the reviews are accurate.
1307  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your Thoughts On First Time Lottery Bettor Who Won Big Amount? on: July 13, 2023, 03:59:21 AM
15 million dirhams is equivalent to 4 million dollars, which is huge, the guy must be very lucky for winning such a big amount only for the first time, I would probably faint out of happiness if something like that happens to me, lol, but jokes apart, he does have great luck and his family must be very happy seeing him get success like this, he can probably live the rest of his life in luxury if he uses that money in the right way, start some businesses and eat while sitting at home.

Anyway, coming back to the topic, I don't think I would envy him even if I have been buying tickets for the same lottery for years and didn't manage to win anything at all because it's all about luck and if I was as lucky as him, I would definitely win at least once out of all these years but it didn't happen which means my luck never worked for me.

I honestly believe that he took a cut to play, and he didn't and that means he should be more than happy to accept a bigger pay. There is nobody on this world that would be willing to pay him 20 million or something at Europe, that's not going to happen and I feel like the best chance he has would be making sure that he is getting paid a good sum before he retires.

He is getting older as well, I understand some players not going there, but I also need to point out that he is going to get more money this way than any other way in his life. Making more money than he could ever hope for is an acceptable thing to leave, and he should be leaving to get paid and play there and he could get injured again so he shouldn't take a risk.
1309  Economy / Gambling / Re: This guy gave a whole prototype of "how live roulette scam us" on: July 12, 2023, 05:29:25 PM
~
When I play roulette, there are no patterns, I have played a lot using patterns, both colors, even or odd numbers, and it is difficult for them to follow an order, because when one is completely sure that what is predicted will come out , it does not come out This is normal, so there are many roulette strategies , you have to use them all to see what Works at a certain Time.

This is very important for any player to see no patterns when playing roulette. Because there can be no patterns, right? All "patterns" that we see playing any game purely based on luck is just a product of our imagination. They are unlucky people those who invented a strategy for roulette and accidentally it worked couple of times. The poor guys think their strategy actually works, and then they lose everything, while betting in hopes that it will work again.
Those who created these games were obviously not idiots they would design games that would work based on patterns so that gamblers can identify those patterns and then win significantly high amounts of money using those patterns. Of course, there are no patterns whether it's about roulette or any other gambling game, it's just our mind that tells us that there is a pattern and you should act accordingly but in reality, there is nothing like that.

I know that there are some people who think they are too smart for the casinos to handle so they keep looking for patterns and other stuff that they can use to win more bets, and when a few of their bets actually work, they become overconfident and eventually lose everything only because of their patterns.

You are over estimating the care and due diligence of Google unfortunately.     Maybe they are able to judge age but they frequently promote things they shouldnt including illegal scamming, phishing and just plain fraud.    Its probably because quite alot of the system is automated and people work their way around it.   All you can rely on that the firm will avoid getting fined for putting the wrong adverts in the wrong places, they should take action but I frequently saw bad ads not suitable for anyone as its a fake product but maybe they cant be fined for deception adverts as its quite common to see them.
They do promote things that are illegal, scams, phishing, or inappropriate in some cases because everything works with algorithms and there aren't human operators manually checking and approving each ad submitted as you said, people always find a way around automated systems to bypass the security or sensor measures that are put in place to exclude all these things and don't allow ads that have any of the elements mentioned earlier.

Even the age factor is automated, everything on these websites and services works using algorithms and they are the ones who place the ads in our browsers and videos that we watch on YouTube, it's all based on our search history and what we've been watching recently when logged in with their accounts.

it is again a player who is not over 30 years old. They keep adding players that are younger in order to also attract a wider global audience, but I am still not convinced that people will start to watch the Saudi Professional League frequently because they are buying the players who have already had their peak in Europe. I don't know how it is about you guys but I only watched a few highlight summaries here and there and that was it. I haven't become a Saudi league fan only because Ronaldo went there and I also don't care whether Benzema is now there. What about you? Are you closely following the league here? I think they are still quite far away from becoming one of the most followed leagues in the world.
Saudi League is currently into early days which is surely not clear how things will be gone in near future, but one thing is sure as they are investing, and their vision is surely going to have big impact on this all and if they are able to handle this all for long run then surely we will be having Saudi League one of the most competitive outside UEFA they are targeting players which are having good quality and strong fanbase as well because if they are able to maintain then surely they could have good media coverage which will cover their investments and surely this will also bring good change for them in near future.
 
After arrival of few big names they are surely now having good following on social media and with this in future their media partners will be also able to have more coverage which will helps them for increasing their revenue and their campaign for the World Cup will be also had good impact with this all.

Just to make this clear to you, GPT-4 is a language model that has been trained using data, it might even be able to check data available on the internet based on the prompts provided, so whatever it says about predictions and cryptocurrencies isn't based on any analysis done by itself but it simply reads the predictions and analysis of others available in his training data or on the internet and provides responses based on that, it doesn't read charts.

So it's better not to get too much excited about a prediction made by an AI language model such as ChatGPT or GPT-4. It's much better if we can do our own research and analysis and act based on that because we can surely do it better as we can see and check everything ourselves.
1313  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: July 11, 2023, 03:49:09 PM
In my experience have a friend trying to quit gambling, it is quite difficult to do itself because his mind already heavily contaminated and can't quit without a psychiatrist. He spends his money and time until 100% quits. So if someone feel hard to do itself, just try to ask your friend or family, I really sure they can help you to get over it. Do not do itself if you can't do it, because it could be a misstep and more be addicted.
Addictions like gambling are difficult to overcome. From your account, your friend had to fight hard to break this habit. His resilience is admirable, but each person's fight is unique. While its great that he had family and friends, we must also remember that not everyone does.

Its not weak to seek expert help in such instances. The person's determination to recover their life is shown. Its not a last resort, but a crucial first step to rehabilitation. Self-compassion and patience are needed here.
It should also be remembered that a person who is addicted to gambling or anything will first need to acknowledge that themselves that they are actually having this issue that is creating problems in their life and they want to get rid of it, that is when they can get assisted by either an expert or a friend or a family member if they have some that live with them, I know it's not easy but it is doable if someone is willing to get rid of it themselves.

Those gamblers who are addicted but don't admit it by saying that they are not really addicted or they don't really need any help can barely get out of their addiction because they won't get any help from anyone when they clearly refuse to accept the fact that they are addicted to gambling.

What procrastination has to do with investing? When investing is more on a passive side. In fact, a lot of lazy people just try their luck in investing thinking it will bear them a good wealth later on. Procrastination only becomes a bad thing if you are already a poor person. Even if you badly want to invest, you cannot do it because you have no money in your pocket.

We are getting closer to the halving event and we can feel the vibe already because crypto prices are now starting to get stronger again. People should act now quickly before they regret and complain that the price is already high. We know, this is a common mentality here.

It's utter foolishness to use the funds that you cannot afford to lose in gambling while knowing that gambling is a game of luck and nothing is guaranteed in it, so getting influenced by someone because they've won a jackpot and risking your life-savings only with the hope that you might hit the jackpot too is totally senseless. How is it important that someone got lucky so you would get lucky as well just like him? That's not how luck works.

I've never in my life used any funds that are so important in my life in gambling just because of the hope of winning something big with it because I know that if I can win something big, I can lose something bigger as well and I don't find that being worth it at all.

Barcelona did not spend any money on recruiting players in this transfer window because the two new players who joined Barcelona were both free transfer players. I think Xavi still needs players in this transfer window but financial difficulties mean Barcelona have failed to recruit players to join them like Brozovic.

I don't think Xavi will be complacent with the squad he has for next season as their rivals Real Madrid are making improvements to the squad by making several other signings and so far Real Madrid have already managed to sign Joselu, Jude Bellingham and Arda Guler. So that Barcelona might bring in more players in this transfer window to increase the squad's drive to be more aggressive.
This was expected as Barcelona is currently having trouble with finances and their squad was already good with few free transfers give them good boost, but they are trying to sell their few big players, but situation is not going to be favourable for them which is surely creating problems, but they are having enough quality which can give them good result in coming season in both competitions like La Liga and Champions League.

After exit of Karim Benzema Real Madrid feeling some trouble but as they already have few top players most chances they will also sign few more which will give them good backup and increase in attacking power because in last season they have few problems due to injuries of big players, and now they not allow any opponent to have tough time for the race of title.
1317  Economy / Speculation / Re: BTC > 1M ? on: July 11, 2023, 03:05:24 AM
Bitcoin to 1 Million is it really possible?

1 million what? Stones? USD? EUR? The value will always be dependent to it's correlation of another asset be it fiat or metal such as Gold. But the sky is the limit. There is a possibility that it can surpass 1M usd but it is also one in a million probability. Objectively speaking, 1M of value would be an overprice. No one will be willing to do such a transaction of person to person unless the supply is very low.

There's no wrong on that question. But having a more realistic insight will give you better information with dealing with future price action in crypto.
To clear the point about it being overpriced if it reaches $1m and people make large transactions person to person, I assume you know that Bitcoin has 8 decimal points, so it is not important for you to send the same amount of Bitcoin when the price of Bitcoin is $1m each that you send right now when the price if $30k, so if you send 0.03 Bitcoin right now, it might be worth the same if you send 0.0003 Bitcoin when one coin is worth a million dollars.

So that is absolutely not a problem, people will still be able to make transactions normally as they do now, the only difference will be in the size of Bitcoins being sent or received as the value will be dependent on that and it keeps changing over time, supply doesn't need to be very low for that at all.

Luton Town FC, yes I am very interested in this team, because their struggle to penetrate the highest caste of English football or the Premier League is extraordinary. They managed to win the last ticket after in the final round of the Playoffs they were able to conquer Coventry City through a penalty shootout.
I actually don't really know this team, but from several sources I read and described their journey and struggle to reach the Premier League is extraordinary. They also don't have a magnificent stadium and can only accommodate around 10k spectators. But their struggle to be able to realize their dream of playing in the Premier League was not in vain and this season it has come true.

After seeing some of their game footage, they have the potential to be able to compete in the Premier League. If the Premier League is held later, are you interested in betting on them?
They can finally play in their stadium? I read in someplace they have to make some works before they can play there to meet the Premier League standards.

I hope they can play there as it is, because it have something romantic and amateur that brings us some hope and realism. Its like in F.A when some big team has to play against some National League team or even lower and you see a traditional english pitch.
I am guessing that the construction is still going on, don't think that they are capable of playing there "now", but maybe they will be ready by the start of the season, I wouldn't know about that but I think they are working on making it work, that's the part we know so far. I believe that they are not going to stay for too long though, they can build a team that can maaaybe stay for a season, but eventually they are going to drop again.

Because no matter how good they were for championship, they do not have enough fan base and income to keep making it in premier league, they are going to get financially uneven matches with teams much richer than they are, and that will cause them to not have good enough players to build a squad that can stay for many years.
1319  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Would you use a VPN on a casino, even if it is not allowed in their ToS? on: July 10, 2023, 04:24:19 PM
Now, the question is.... Will you still use a VPN, if it is not allowed by the ToS on the site. What will you do if they "block" your account and take your balance?
VPNs should not be used in casinos that prohibit it in their TOS, although some casinos accept VPN use. In this case the gambler can conduct his normal gambling but can restrict his account after a big win. So as a responsible gambler each of us should be absolutely safe from our own place. While some gambling platforms are flexible with VPN usage, not all gambling platforms are the same. I would definitely avoid sites that don't allow VPN use. And if someone wants to use VPN with risk, he will be responsible for it.
It basically depends on the nature of the casino and how lenient or strict they are with the rules and regulations, and their trust and reputation plays a great role at this too. A casino that has a good reputation and is trusted among the community because it has been around for quite some time and never had any problems with their gamblers will most likely not make that big of an issue out of this if you have used a VPN to access the casino as long as you are a verified user.

But there are some casinos that look for excuses and very small things to punish the gamblers out of their money, and such casinos will never take even the smallest things lightly like using a VPN for only logging into the platform but not gambling, they will take that and use it against you only to confiscate your funds.

Might be exciting to watch but I personally don't like things that are not real, now when a person uses a pill to become more powerful and have enhanced abilities might be able to perform better but it would still not be original because everyone watching would already know that they have used performance-enhancing pills and that is the reason why they are performing well and the audience would never really appreciate the actual efforts they are making.

I also believe that organizations like the Guinness Book of World Records shouldn't count any record made in such games because it will be an injustice to those who have done it without taking any pills but completed the achievements all by themselves and have worked really hard to do it definitely.
