Messi wasn't the reason they won so many titles before he arrived, they got titles before him and would get one after him as well. But Mbappe is certainly a question mark, we need to see what the teams decision will be, there is a chance he may get sold off, and he doesn't want that unless team agrees to pay a huge amount of money, and team wouldn't want that but we are going to see what's going to happen with him.

I think the better move for his career could be going to Madrid but for some reason or another he just doesn't do it this season, he insists on going there next season and I am not entirely sure why "money" means so much when we all know he ain't getting stiffed, Madrid would pay him too, not like he is giving up money, he will be paid.

It seems Mbappe is close to signing his contract with Real Madrid because the PSG owners asked him to extend his contract or they will sell this player this summer they are just forcing Mbappe to sign the contract and this cannot have any good results because in the end even if Mbappe stays in PSG he can't have good performance because he didn't stay there by himself.
If Mbappe can make decisions, of course Mbappe knows how to make decisions that are wise enough to make his career even brighter. Because Mbappe has also been at PSG for a long time and he knows how his career was while he was there, so for now it is an opportunity for Mbappe to make a wise decision if he is still considering his career. After all, Real Madrid is also not a bad team for him even though there are some great players there, but that won't stop Mbappe from developing there if he goes to Real Madrid.
Right now, things are not clear about Mbappé and his decision because if he leaves PSG right now then most chances on current price Real Madrid will not go ahead with this deal because they were thinking he will be joined them as free agent and now PSG management is not going with this plan which is creating mess-up and in current situation most chances any English club can steal this transfer and then Real Madrid has to wait for few more years.

Mbappé understand how to handle this all but with current situation I feel he needs to go ahead with PSG for one or two years extension because he is young and also can do better in few years but need to avoid current situation which is not suitable for having any transfer from this club.

It seems Klopp won't train another club after he is leaving Liverpool and his next destination will be to coach German national team and man , they really need a coach like Klopp to actually train all the talented players that Germany currently have in their team because this is were they have problems...with coaches being unable to control some of the players and make them understand that no one is better than the other one when it comes to national teams. If this happens ...Germany is back being a force by the next WC in USA. Cool
The problem if he will be leaving from liverpool as per his contract and he will be coaching german national team in 2026. He has signed a new deal with liverpool to extend his contract till 2026.
He has only a brief time to coaching national team if he will not have an interest in cutting his contract. He can be let go by the club any time if Liverpool does not demonstrate improvement in its performance..
So, liverpool needs to sack him first and we will see him as a new coach for german national team.
Right now most of the reports going against this, but anything can happen because last year Liverpool having the worst time with now situation is some better, but things are not clear even Jürgen Klopp is already extended his contract for the few more years but if this year we have another poor season then surely we will have changes here with 56 years old need to change his mindset for this as well but currently German national team is surely also having deep troubles which are needed to be fixed as soon as possible, and they have no other suitable person for this job which is the big problem for the DFB.

As I read few media reports and his agent clearly indicating this is not going to happen in this summer but as we have things we can expect this can happen before next Euro which is going to play in 2024 in Germany but still nothing is predictable and not one is sure about this all because most chances he will keep this job until 2026.

It must be nice to see Ancelotti staying for one last season with Real Madrid for the supporters. Because maybe this season didn't end up well for them but they can't just criticize them harshly upon one season. You know how great Real Madrid were in the season before. Ancelotti would surely like to achieve the same level of success again by next season. But to do that Real Madrid need to take the right steps in the transfer window. Joselu has returned home on loan after 11 years.

He has become quite old though but he would do his best when he gets the chance anyway I guess. Because his season with Espanyol was really impressive. However I assume this won't be the only transfer to the centre-forward position. Because Joselu isn't good enough to fill Benzema's place strongly.
A very good decision by Carlos Ancelotti because there were serious rumors he is going to leave club for the job of Brazil national team coach, but all ended, and they can do better than this season with now they are first looking for the suitable replacement of Karim Benzema and also needs to fix hole which give them poor results in last season hopefully now in coming season things could be again on level with few other teams like Barcelona and Atlético Madrid which are going to give tough challenge for having their best days back in business.

Right now their first assignment is having the best striker with few targets are set but who is going to have this chance it's not clear specially as Mbappé saga is happening most chances Real Madrid will not jump in with his high price demanded by PSG because player is already refuse to extend his contract for another year, but Real Madrid needs to fill things with in their budget instead of player.

20+ teams in IPL is possible, but this will surely affect the bilateral series and other tournaments. This will make players give importance to IPL than national cricket. Finally everywhere it is possible to see the franchise of IPL holding teams in each and every T20 league around the world. Right now South Africa T20 league teams were owned by different IPL franchise and now Texas Super Kings team owned by Chennai Super Kings on the Major League Cricket. Now the promotion is happening in USA. Slowly cricket is getting all around, even on countries where cricket isn't much followed.
I am not agreed with this idea of 20 teams in IPL because this is going to hurt badly many like players and fans with many other leagues are also going to disturb with this as well even this is not business of BCCI as they could be directly having huge benefit from this all, and they could be richer in the sporting world as well, but they need to work on too much for this all before jumping into this idea because now many IPL franchise are investing in other leagues and surely with this all they are also going hit them directly as well.

MLC in the USA is also going to launch something big with Saudis are also working with this system and trying to have something good in cricket in their country with this all, most chances BCCI will keep this all with 12 to 14 teams and allow others to also have something positive as well.
1386  Economy / Gambling / Re: How does AI gambling sound? on: June 23, 2023, 06:02:29 AM
I don't understand what you mean by a human teaching an AI about how human logic works and how can an AI model be able to feel or understand emotions, an AI is created with coded algorithms and is trained using data that is also available in written or coded form, so I don't see any possibility in that for a human to teach the AI how human logic works and how it can read and detect or even understand human emotions and stuff.

An AI model can only act like a robot because that is what it is, it cannot go beyond that, and even if we find a way through that, we are not yet there, and it will still take a lot of time for us humans to reach that time when we can include emotions in these models.
I understand your viewpoint. Its binary, a world of ones and zeros, right? But AI extends beyond mere code. Yes, AI' foundation is algorithmic, similar to us. Arent our neurons firing patterns that shape thoughts? Instructing AI on human rationale or emotions isnt akin to making a dog meow. It's about crafting algorithms adept enough to discern patterns, mirroring our brain's functionality. Hence, it's called Machine Learning.

While they cant experience emotions as we do, AI can identify and react to emotional cues through pattern recognition. A smiley indicates happiness, a tear signifies sadness - its about recognizing patterns, not true emotional comprehension. AI might be machines, but they're advancing beyond traditional robotic definitions. Progress takes time. We're in perpetual motion, incessantly innovating. That's the essence of humanity.
Well, I wouldn't say that is impossible, of course, it's possible for an AI model that can see and identify patterns but I wouldn't say that they can as good as humans in understanding emotions. Humans have different natures and different ways to show emotions, not every person sheds tears when they are sad or about to cry, and not everyone smiles only when they are happy. What if a person is faking a smile? Would an AI be able identify that? No.

I know that the world is evolving at an unstoppable speed and so are technology and science, but to be able to achieve things like these, we will still need to be more knowledgeable to be able to bring more perfection to our inventions.

I periodically read articles on statistics, and I will share with you that 7 times more people play in an online casino than in a real casino: in bars, hotels and gambling establishments. This clearly shows that people do not need bright lights and halls, they do not need performances of stars or a sense of celebration from coming to the game room. They just want to get a chance to win and some kind of interface from this casino.
And this is a frightening statistic, since a lot of people came to the casino just because the casino became online. And they would never have gone to play if it had continued to exist only in reality.
Excess of everything is frightening, it is not online gambling that is frightening but it is the addiction that people get into and then refuse to get out of their houses for months only because they are gambling, that can be bad for one's health, both mental and physical. One should get out, get some fresh air, roam around with friends, spend some time with the family in the evening, and do all sorts of things that a normal human being should do.

But when someone gets addicted to gambling, especially if it's online gambling, they forget about all these things and always sticks to gambling and they start staying at home more often than before only because of it, and that if increases with time is surely frightening.

The 2023 Continent Cup T20 Africa has been won by Uganda. Kenya was showing some signs of resurgence, but in the end Uganda proved to be too strong for them. It was a very close match though. Uganda batted first and made 125 in 20 overs with Kenyan bowler Gerard Mwendwa taking 3 wickets. In return Kenya could only manage 124/7 and lost by 1 run. 41-year old Collins Obuya (the hero during Kenya's match against Sri Lanka during the 2003 ODI World Cup) top-scored for them with 44 from 51 balls. Uganda just confirmed that now they are the strongest team in East Africa.
A good step for the cricket in African region because we have these four teams having good potential for the improvement in African continent we are already have three good teams South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia now these four will help them for increasing in popularity with it's good as mostly teams are having native players, and they can also increase their presence in all levels.

Even Uganda won and Kenya lost by 1 run but still good interesting cricket, and now they need to work on this format instead of going for others as well because this will increase their hassle and investment but just staying with just one format and having improvement in quality and performance surely give them good results good to see 41 years old Collins Obuya is still having something interesting for himself and doing good for his country.

personally, with my experience playing the HI-LO game on FreeBitco, I can certainly tell you that hunting got the jackpot in that game is like embarking on a mission that you may likely not return from (mission impossible) 😂.

Since 2015 I joined the FreeBitco, I don't know, maybe I missed it but honestly, I not come across any user who testified of winning the jackpot in the hi-lo game, not on this forum, not outside this forum - but anyways, it's good that you categorically said it yourself that you are just doing it for fun, so I wish you as much fun as possible chasing shadows 😂.
Apart from other crypto casinos, there are so many times where I play the Hi-Lo game on Freebitco that I get the jackpot number (I think it was 8888 )but I didn't tick the betting box in the left side so I end up with no wins, while there are also times where my expectations are high about getting the jackpot prize so I tick the boxes but the roll numbers that I am getting are very far from the jackpot numbers lol.

The guys above are right that we should expect less when playing a gambling because that might give us more chances of winning even though it's mostly a superstitious belief. Even if we don't win, it's going to be just fine and we can go out of the casino easily.
1390  Economy / Economics / Re: SEC fighting for the publics my ass on: June 22, 2023, 02:06:45 PM
Who believed that SEC is fighting for the public? We, at least most of us, already knew that they are doing this only because they want control and regulations imposed and the main purpose is simply to push the exchanges away because they don't have any access to them, though we weren't expecting something like this and this is new for me but I'm still not surprised as I always knew this is what they wanted.

The governments cannot accept the fact that there are exchanges and cryptocurrencies that are operating within their countries but they are not in full control of them, the two main reasons behind that are money and power, with this exchange that they are going to create, will give them both, but, I don't think that a lot of people will use their exchange.
1391  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How the casino takes money from you with a deposit bonus on: June 22, 2023, 12:09:01 PM
As long as I was at the casino regarding the first deposit bonus there was nothing that I complied with because as you said that in the end we will all lose more than we gain more than what we bet on. So personally if I want to play make a deposit without activating the bonus. Apart from avoiding greater requirements, it will certainly require us to make more deposits. In this case I prefer to play clean by making a deposit that I can afford and play with what I want without any burden of other requirements to be met.
That is obviously the best option only to make a deposit without taking any deposit bonus so that you are free from the wagering requirement because a wagering requirement won't let you withdraw the money if you manage to win something very quickly after starting to play a game which happens sometimes when you are playing in a slot machine if you are playing only with the deposit, you can withdraw any time when the deposit wagering requirement is met which isn't too much in most cases.

If a casino has a high wagering requirement only for the deposit without any bonus, one should avoid that and look for a platform that doesn't have a very high wagering requirement for only the deposit so that they don't face issues withdrawing the money once they get a big win.
1392  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: benefits of having mature accounts at 3 casinos (personal experience) on: June 22, 2023, 11:25:56 AM
Well, though I know that having VIP ranks at different casinos provides you with benefits, I don't think the amount of profit you mentioned here is worth the money you've wagered at each one of the platforms you've mentioned, to be honest, while I was reading your post, I was expecting that you will tell us how much weekly or monthly bonus you get from each account and how you turn them into something bigger but that wasn't the case.

I didn't really see how having all those mature accounts really benefited you when you wagered all that money to get the ranks and withdrew only 16 USDT at the end, even if that is how much you earn each day, it doesn't still sound a lot to me to be honest.
1393  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: would you play more on casino when your country plans to ban BTC? on: June 21, 2023, 03:00:15 PM
It depends on the country, when government put a ban on crypto in my country, the only way left for them to know if I am still doing illegal crypto transaction is my bank account and as someone who don't use bank account for any crypto related transaction I was free.

Ban on crypto will affect using your crypto to purchase or make transaction in the country, you can't go to store nearby and use crypto to pay, since it's illegal, but online? I won't worry much, I wonder how they will know, all you have to do is use peer to peer and you are free.

This won't stop me from gambling on any online casinos either, it makes no sense, because we have DEX platforms and also P2P ways of buying and selling crypto.
Actually, Telecom operators have the record of everything you do on the internet if you are using the internet service of your mobile sim card, and even if you use a local WIFI connection, even they can see what you are doing online, every single thing, so it's not like they would never know that you are using cryptocurrencies online or using applications or platforms that involve cryptocurrencies unless they are not tracking you.

Also, what makes you think that it is only you who knows about the cryptocurrency gambling websites and they won't know about them? They know everything, and if they ban cryptocurrencies, they will also ban every single platform or website that involves cryptocurrencies.
1394  Economy / Economics / Re: I thought there was an egg shortage. on: June 21, 2023, 12:18:23 PM
I believe that an increase in price is a sign that there is an upcoming shortage because there are lots of demands but the supply is only short. If the increase was times two from its previous price, then that is a huge increase in its price. Maybe you will need to avoid eating eggs for a while until their price normalize again. Or you can try to produce your own eggs buy buying a chick and start raising it.

It's a big hassle but it's going to be worth it at the end. I'm lucky that I was one of the unaffected areas because the price of the eggs here are still the same. Last time there was a small increase but it didn't take long for its price to revert to the original one.

In the end, Australia won the match by 2 wickets. We got a chance to enjoy a very exciting match.
Usman Khawaja scored 206 runs in two innings. He batted very responsibly. But I would say Pat Cummins' performance was key to the win in this match. He did not collect any wickets in the first innings but did not collect 38 runs. Cummins picked up 4 wickets in the second innings and played an excellent innings of 44 not out. Pat Cummins has batted responsibly when the team needed it.
Beautiful end of first test of this series with the win for the Australia by just 2 wickets we have good contest until last ball with both teams were in good position to win and have lead in this series but at the end visitors were in better shape and win because here England were missing quality spinners which give them good opportunity for dominating like Australia have through Nathan Lyon first with bowl and then with bat.

As Carey gone there was serious chance for the England to win and enjoy lead, but this was really impressive performance from the captain and tail-ender which help their team for the win against experienced bowling of England there is good talk about few things happen in this match but still this was one of the best match we watch.
1396  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: June 21, 2023, 04:38:23 AM
I'm sure Perez still wants to find a replacement for Benzema, so far the vacant Real Madrid shirt numbers are number nine and number twenty four. I agree with your opinion, Kane can be a short term solution and Kane's type of play is also similar to Benzema if Firmino is more of a back-up player because this year he is 32 years old. while Real madrid already has Joselu and Brahim Diaz so it's possible between Vlahovic / Osimhen.

But Imo, for Osimhen himself he can only adapt after one season at the new team, if Vlahovic can immediately adapt easily to Ancelotti's tactics. But all of this depends on whether Mbappe wants to sign a deal now or next season when the contract runs out with PSG. What is clear is that Real Madrid cannot just rely on Joselu or Alvaro Rodriguez because the Real Madrid squad now needs mature players who can be a bridge for young players.
In last few days we have few good signings from Real Madrid which is trying to bring some depth in their squad which was suffering due to injuries and now having problem with the exit of Karim Benzema after fail to have positive end of dialogue with Tottenham about Harry Kane and Mbappé is also high-priced which is not in their agenda their next focus is Vlahović and Osimhen, and I am feeling from these both Vlahović is surely going to suit them because he can do things like Benzema and this is clearly good for them as well.

Right now, Vlahović is just 23 and his price tag is also not high as we have few top players which is good for the Real Madrid currently Chelsea is targeting for him but if Real Madrid jumps in this most chances they will be able to sign him and this can bring good stuff for them with long term hopefully we will have good updates about this all in coming days.

Leverkusen has been receiving financial support from Bayer the pharmaceutical producer for a long while now. That is why they could afford above average salaries and they are also a team that is popular by young players who want a club where they can play and develop further and then take the next step. For Xabi Alonso these are good conditions as it seems that he has a good connection with younger talents and at the same time he can build a quality team since they don't have to let all the talented players go every year. Years ago Leverkusen has been a strong rival for the top four and I think Alonso can get them there.
Bayer Leverkusen is one of the best club in Bundesliga and their finances and talent project are also helping them for having better results even in last season they were badly down and out but management done good decision at right time and have coach like Xabi Alonso which helps them for having dream end of their season even in last few matches they were badly down and lost the chance for the higher place but still it's good end for them in both events with losing against Roma was also interesting because they have done good job in this semifinal.

Now Xabi Alonso is understanding all which is surely going to help him for having good strategy which helps him for having better end of this season in both events with some big trophy can do good magic for them as well.

I don't really think that an addict who has reached the level to steal money or belongings from their loved ones only to continue his gambling activities will feel any remorse or will have any thought about what the consequences of his actions will be on his loved ones or others around him, he is probably not able to think about anything else apart from gambling and that is the reason why he carried out something like that.

Such people need to be treated because they lose their ability to think critically and take decisions that are good for themselves and those they live with, they also can be dangerous because they can do almost anything to get some money for their gambling addiction.
1399  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How the casino takes money from you with a deposit bonus on: June 20, 2023, 04:35:24 PM
Giving deposit bonuses is a strategy of gambling sites that helps them attract gamblers. but when one accepts the bonus he must comply with the wagering requirements and as soon as he makes the deposit he will get the bonus but his balance will be frozen. So it is better to avoid bonus and gamble with break instead of panic is the best strategy to succeed in gambling. however, many people do not understand this issue and face many problems and lose a lot of money in gambling.
Yes, I didn't understand much about gambling at first. At first, a new gambling site gives you an unspecified bonus when you deposit. But now I'm a big fan of gambling.I lost a lot of money while playing gambling without understanding anything about gambling in the first stage. Now I don't have to face such problems. But I think gambling is a deadly addiction. We should stay away from gambling.
Whether you stay away from gambling or not, try to have some limits if you want to avoid getting addicted to it, have a specific amount of time that you will spend on your gambling activities per week, and also decide on a budget that you will spend and if you have lost it, you won't gamble anymore for the whole week, this way, you won't get addicted because you will know your limits and you will gamble accordingly, only if you can follow it.

What I would suggest you stay away from are bonuses that are offered by all the casinos, some of them might be good if they don't have very high wagering requirements, but most of them do have high wagering requirements and you will lose your deposit along with the bonus before you complete the requirement.

So is gambling debt one way or other possible without the person taking loan or borrowing money?
Some excuses some people are always giving is kind of funny to me, I don't know maybe you asked the person for money, or maybe as he saw your message he was thinking you are going to ask him for money that was why he gave you excuse, so that you won't be disturbing him. I am a gambler and I haven't seen any online casino that will ask you to gamble and you will have to pay back later, am sure the person is just trying to deceive you. If gambling sites gives you loan to gamble, am sure lot's of people won't be paying back even if they are submitting their kyc. Am just thinking about it because I don't even know how they are going to do it and their customers won't be running away with their money.
That might not be an excuse and he had probably taken a loan from somewhere but maybe he didn't want to disclose that, that's why he said that the casino allowed them to gamble and pay back later, or maybe he used a credit card or something and is now having to pay back the credits that he used in gambling? I'm not sure but as you said, casinos don't generally give out loans to every gambler unless he was a loyal customer at a land-based casino and got a loan offer but I doubt they give such offers without collateral.

Even if an online casino decides to launch a program where they will give out loans to gamblers to play and pay it back later, I'm pretty sure that they won't do it for free and will surely ask for something as collateral before they can take a loan because they won't be able to do anything if a gambler doesn't return after gambling the money away.
