It's really a second nature type of thing to teach kids in schools. In the sense that if you teach them the value of something, they could ignore it at the time, but at the back of their heads, they will know something and they will be aware of it at the very least. Like history, not many people really know the exact date of each war, but they are basically aware that there was some war somewhere, same with economics.

If you teach them the difference between asset and liability, just that alone would make the world so much better place. Should I eat this 40 dollar steak in a restaurant, or 4 dollars burger at home and put that 36 dollars in crypto? That question is not asked by many people, if we start that, it will change the whole world.

Well regarding on accurate team to win maybe AI can really give the exact answer with that since the game result still unknown and maybe the unexpected result will came since sometimes their are luck factor need to consider even if the team roosters is lacking due to injuries of their players.

Maybe the least those AI can give is all the data's needed by people about the latest inputs about the teams and this could give us a basis if which one of then is good to bet or not. Injury reports is important and its really important to ask this since AI can generate answers regarding to this matter. But at the end of the day its up for us to listen or not since the main purpose why we bet is to enjoy, so good luck to anyone seeking for ways to win and think AI is the answer to increase their chance to win.
Exactly true, like just recently Barcelona lost to Almeira, what kind of data that you could provide to any AI in the world that could have predicted that? All the data in the world shows that Barcelona should have won that game with ease and there shouldn't even be a doubt.

We, as football fans, know that any team could lose to any team, you could get Barcelona to play against a fifth tier team and Barcelona could just put youth players from La Masia in there because they would underestimate and could end up losing that game too, who knows? Which is why it's important to realize AI could never bet better than other people, it's just not going to work.

Congratulations to the first Ten Hag cup, your supporters will expect many trophies to be won. Although this cup is not as grand as the EPL champion, but this will be a motive for the players. With the current condition of the players I believe there are still many opportunities open. Apart from the EFL Man United are still following the Europa League and the EPL there are still opportunities even though it looks difficult.
I think Ten Hag treated the trophy miss a bit at Old Traford. Certainly the first title that makes the players happy. But there was a last moment that I didn't like, Bruno shouldn't be selfish and gave a pass to the left side, the goal will end the match more convincingly.
A good new era is already started for the Manchester United and their fans as right now under Erick ten Hag they have their first trophy and before this trophy their win against Barcelona is also big achievement for them which is now clearly indicating things could be more impressive in coming season because right now they are having three trophies remaining and most chances they can completely their double which could be surely one of the best for them with now they could be one of the toughest candidate for the title in coming season, and now they are clearly having good chance for the UEFA Europa cup which is having his first round of sixteen match in coming days.

All players and coach were happy as they have their first title here and now heading for some more positive results like The FA Cup and then having spot into top three could be also good as next season could be challenging for all teams for the title.

My personal opinion is that the idea of a player representing a country that is not his own should not be a thing at all. I don't know why ICC has not taken any steps about this yet. But I believe that this should change. But we all not at this is going to cause a lot of problems even with a lot of being teams in the top 10 in cricket.

So I think the best decision ICC can take is that if a player has to play in the national team and represent a country, he has to be the citizen of that country. Otherwise, he will not be able to play in the main 11. He will still be able to play cricket professionally. But he will not be able to represent the country on international stages.
Here ICC and their favorite big-4 doing their own tactics for creating mess-up because they have personal benefits and own interest in this all even we all know IOC which is biggest sports authority in sporting world have all things clear about these adopted countries, but they never want to have fair policy like this in cricket and allowing teams like the UAE, Saudi Arab and Bahrain to play with no native player available in all these teams.

Just because of this ICC is also never been interested to have this game cricket part of Olympics because if they join them then surely they have to follow their rules which are clear about this all even right now they have done some paper work for the joining them, but this all is not enough just their bad tactics, but we can hope things will change, and we will have better policy about this all in the future.

The 3-0 win of Bayern Munich over Union Berlin is a sign and a warning to other clubs to coward them to become afraid of Bayern Munich and give them the opportunity to dominate the league.
When you think you are one of the best, Bayern Munich will humble with goals as they have been doing for years in the Champions League?
Union Berlin should not lose hope or offended. They should pick up their self together and give more shots. There might be a good result seeing Dortmund also shaking Bayern.
No doubt about this big win for Bayern Munich against Union Berlin, but things are still not easy with now we have Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich both are level in points but goals difference is big for the Bayern Munich with Union Berlin will be give their best for rest of matches in this season because they need to be at third spot and for this consistency is important for them now in coming round we have another big match while Borussia Dortmund will host RB Leipzig which is currently at the fourth spot.

Bayern Munich is power house in soccer world and Union Berlin which is relatively doing good job in last few seasons need more experience and resources for having better results against these two top teams in German league but in this season we have good resistance from few teams which is bringing healthy environment in this league and dominance of Bayern Munich is now surely going to be challenge.

It's quite amazing that the same guy still gets it. Maybe this guy did also the same thing with Bitcoin cash and other variations of Bitcoin? Hmm. And maybe this guy was a solid pizza lover because this food is always the one that he uses in his experiments. But after that, I would also like to congratulate you OP. The lack of support of BTC lightning network didn't stop you from doing what you desire but instead you convince those owners to try it and it was a successful attempt.

Bitcoin lightning network is not a new thing anymore and it had some certain benefits than the original Bitcoin but I think it only lacks in exposure. The focus of the people is on the main coin and maybe they think both are just the same.

When I first started learning about cryptocurrencies, I was involved in a privacy and anonymity cryptocurrency project, at the time it had nothing to do with casinos, it was just a cryptocurrency but privacy and anonymity meant everything to that great community. The casinos that exist now, the thing is different because they should guarantee privacy and anonymity but it is not like that, I can only imagine the people of that time when they see the KYC requirements of the casinos, they simply will not play, and I understand them, that community It is the one that new casinos have to attract, but to bring them there must be no KYC.
Currently, some casinos must implement KYC for their members, especially those who frequently use large sums of money to gamble. This is to ensure that the user is not someone who gambles using money derived from illegal activities and the casino wants to know who the people are playing for big money. KYC has become necessary for many websites, including gambling and exchanges because the government has entered into the crypto circle and noticed large transactions on exchanges or in gambling. We don't know if the tax that the government will apply to everyone who uses crypto will increase because of the profit factor people get.
That is because a casino is different from a solo coin project. They can support different cryptos and then they can enforce different rules but a solo coin project can only have one vision and one of it is to push anonymity because this is something that a local currency doesn't have.

I think people who deal with huge amount of money are the ones that must be protected and not exposed because someone might threaten them. Also, not all who deals with a small amount of money are clean. You mentioned tax there, but tax might be another reason on why KYC are suddenly being introduced on the crypto space and the rates will depend per country as I heard some countries like India has a higher charging rate.

Central banks will always be central banks, even if you reject it and want to become full on bitcoin, it will always be central banks because it has the power of governments behind it. The only thing a central bank would have to do is tell the government it can't function when everyone is moving towards bitcoin, and the government will ban bitcoin without a doubt, then you can keep using it illegally but mass adoption won't happen, simple as that.

I know that there is a chance in theory that we could be like the image, but that just puts the power of central bank in question, if it is powerful enough to whip everyone, it is powerful enough to keep that position as well, otherwise people would have stopped it earlier.

Lakers are certainly looking "better" but at the end of the day they are still nowhere near where they should be. This team has Lebron, and on his last years nevertheless, so they should have been a much better team. They are not even at a position where they were before they acquired Westbrook.

I mean they had KCP, Kuzma, maybe Danny Green wasn't that much great but he had some great days and was awesome on defense, hell Rondo still provided some help, and Caruso was a fire cracker off the bench, that team won a title, maybe not enough to win a title now, but still better than the current roster. They haven't fix anything yet, they were terrible, they are just bad now.
1890  Economy / Gambling / Re: Recommend your preffered slot games or game provider on: February 25, 2023, 09:32:20 PM
I have never heard of the game provider you mentioned. But you can try playing the Gates of Olympus slot because this is a slot game many people often play. So far, I don't have a favorite game because I play many slot games and the games always change every time I play. Or you can try playing Mental from NoLimit City, which has a slightly spooky background sound Grin
I am not an active slot player but I already heard Netent. This must be one of those top gaming/slot provider along with play n go, pragmatic and endorphina but the other two that he mentioned are foreign to me. It does not mean that they are bad. Sometimes I play games from non-famous providers so I might check these two someday.

Gates of Olympus on the other hand is one of those famous slot games these days but IDK why I never tried playing it yet although I already played slots with a similar zeus theme. It was still enjoyable. The other slot game that you recommended looks scary to play at night but I think this fits better on the Halloween season.

The New Zealand team is definitely going to lose in the second match as well. A very bad condition for their entire team. The bowlers did not perform well as Joe Root and Harry Brooks scored 153 and 186 runs respectively. As a result of the performance of these two batsmen, England lost 8 wickets and collected 435 runs, and declared the innings. But New Zealand lost two crucial wickets of Devon Conway and Kane Williamson to score just 7 runs. However, if you play like this, this match has no chance of winning or drawing. New Zealand is likely to lose all their wickets in just 2 sessions.
There is no doubt about this test result just rain can bring some positive impact about New Zealand in this match otherwise most chances England will win this match without any problem and their winning streak is going to extend with this could be another big achievement for them in recent time Ben Stokes and Brendon McCollum duo working here for the amazing success of this English team which is also having services legendary players like Joe Root, Stuart Broad and James Anderson.

In first inning, having score like 435 means things are in their control and now their bowlers are also giving them good support which is clearly indicating they will be winner in just three or four days which is also having good impact on this test format even its lost for the broadcasters.

Match fixing is always going to happen in smaller tournaments. It causes a lot of problems, especially in those tournaments where rules and regulations are not kept a close eye upon. Even in bigger countries, match fixing does happen. But it does not happen in big tournaments.

Basically, it does not happen in tournaments which people follow regularly and a lot of people watch live. But in almost all domestic cricket in every country, match fixing exists.
With the many franchise leagues and other small leagues things are looking good for these mafias and other gamblers even surely their profit is going to be less, but they are also doing good things in big leagues as well which are happening with the help of many big names which are giving them access to manage things for themselves even still now profit is going down, but they are happy as they can bring things for their own which is big success for them.

In soccer, we have also many things like these which are happening but no one caring as mostly matches are under fair play policy and here I have to be agreed with few members about this is not stoppable, but official can manage thing with tough punishments if they have any player or official involved in this all same happening in cricket where punishments and restrictions can bring better play and results.

Arsenal will end up with a good win today if you ask me. They are a great team this year as we all know, an unexpected leading of the league, nobody at the start of the season would have seen this happening, definitely a great season so far.

Leicester on the other hand is having a very tough season, not where they would like to be and not playing the way they want to play, to be fair since Vardy hasn't been a great player for them, they never became as good ever again after that. I am hoping that we will see a clear win, or at least a  clear win for my bet, because I do not think that they would lose any points here and bet accordingly to that.
1894  Economy / Gambling / Re: ⭐ GamblersConnect.com ⭐ Trusted Casino Reviews ✅ Casino Affiliate of The Year on: February 25, 2023, 12:52:59 PM
I've seen so many unfamiliar crypto casinos in your site. I guess it's also a good way that we're introduced to them. Perhaps you could also do the same by reviewing more crypto casinos that are on this forum and introduce them to your other reader
The main intention is to earn from affiliate so you can't expect them to add only those know casino because for sure they put as many as they like since they want to introduce different types of casino for their own gain. Their reviews might not taken seriously by some people because those referral link will make their review site a irrelevant one since any casino can be added as long as they have affiliate marketing available.
There were still lots of trusted casinos and if only these are the ones that they will promote then I think their referrals are going to be more satisfied than if they choose random casinos where most of them are only scams and maybe they can get blamed later on for this. Us who have an experience on many crypto casinos already knows if the review site is lying or not but in case they are only telling the truth then they are worthy to recommend with others.

I don't see a big problem if they will attached a referral link because this is the only exchange or form of payment for the information that they offer to their visitors and even the top review sites that we have here in the forum do also have their own referral links.
1895  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [POLL] Using AI to predict outcomes on: February 24, 2023, 09:25:31 PM
It is not impossible, AI can be used by gamblers to collect as much information data regarding the teams that we are analyzing. obviously, this is very helpful, and can shorten our time when trying to analyze a match that will take place. well, related to the information obtained from this source of artificial intelligence technology.

Of course, we should not immediately believe it or it can be said to swallow information whole without first looking for the validity of the information. We can use Al according to its function, but not to predict the results of a match. So, I don't think this is a matter of making us lazy to learn, but rather to find all the information we need, especially the latest information. after that, we can conclude based on the analysis that we have done. so basically, all decisions are again in the hands of the gamblers.
But it has become a habit that when we can get something easily, we become passive and don't do as much searching as before. Moreover, if the search carried out by AI can provide the results we want, we will rely on AI for our analysis.
It's human nature not to bother when you get comfort and will continue to use it.
And I don't think we should be like that because what we place in sports bets is our responsibility, our money is at stake and we also have a risk when placing those sports bets.
That is true for majority of humanity, but not for everyone. Same goes for news as well, we are given all these news we see, and then we take it as information, but news is not information anymore, plus media learned giving the same information from different angles, one making it look bad, one making it look good, and it is the same story.

This means that we are mislead, and yet we believe it, at least majority does. But, there are still people who go into detail and learn more about it and figure out what's the reality, and those type of minds would end up checking AI if they want to, but they will also check the data that backs it up to make sure at the same time.
1896  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Game that you suffer consistent losses but still keep playing? on: February 24, 2023, 09:06:02 PM
It all started when I saw a tweet of casino about user winning jackpot prize on a slot game. I become interested to try my luck hoping that I can manage to win that same multiplier or close to it. At first I’m winning decent profit like 6$ for a 0.1$ bet in just a couple of spin then later on the slot game stop giving profit even after many spin. This scenario keeps happening to multiple times but still I can’t stop playing this slot game whenever I’m visiting the casino. I’m winning on other game but this specific game keeps draining my funds.

The game is called Big Bamboo by push gaming. I keep coming back because of its cool animation and early payout. This attracts me to play more because it gives me false hope that I can win bigger amount on next spin.
It's not uncommon to be drawn to a particular game due to its graphics or animations, but it's important to be mindful of the impact it may have on your finances. I know it's exciting to win big on a game, but it's important to remember that gambling is always a risk and there is no guarantee of winning. It's also important to set a budget for yourself and stick to it, to avoid overspending or chasing losses.

It's understandable that you're drawn to the game due to its early payout feature, but it's important to weigh the potential payout against the risk and cost of continuing to play the game. It may be helpful to take a break from the game.

Not declaring what they are doing with the money or the assets are the big trouble in this news. They can do whatever they want with their money, and could even lose money and not really care about it, they can fire or hire as many people as they want, none of these are illegal.

You can do this as a legal company, many companies made bad investment decisions and had to fire employees, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if we are talking about having some of the assets off the books without declaring that officially? That would be a big red question mark and it is illegal and wherever they are, they will have a big trouble with officials.
1898  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Will Bitcoin [eventually] collapse? (scholar’s opinion) on: February 24, 2023, 04:38:39 PM
I think it depends on what you are expecting from the coin that you are buying. If you are expecting it to make you rich, then bitcoin or doge or any other coin would work in that situation, you can buy whatever you want, because we do not know which ones will go up, just because there are only two "true" crypto currencies left, which I believe ethereum should be included, doesn't mean that it won't make you a profit if you buy something else, proven inevitably that it does work.

However, if we are talking about something that you want to "use"? In that case I agree that bitcoin is the only one I could trust, using and investing are totally different things in the end.
1899  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is easier to make bets on? on: February 24, 2023, 11:30:29 AM
Do sport like football betting and MMA betting carries the same risks or one is more profitable to bet on than the other? Which one is more likely to easily predict than the other? Also, I need a platform where football prediction is certain, is there any of you guys using any reliable platform?
As far as I know, no sports/football/MMA betting prediction platform can predict 100% accurate. If there were, I believe the agents/bookies/owners of online sports betting sites would go bankrupt.

Every bet that we want to place, of course, has a different level of risk. MMA is risky and football is also risky, in essence, all types of bets are real luck for the user himself.

If you talk about profit, no matter what type of bet you want to place, the profit is based on the odds you place, the bigger the bet you place, the bigger the multiplication, in essence: it depends on your bet amount. if you are lucky.

The easiest prediction for me football, history, team, field conditions, coaches, opponents and so on can have a good chance to determine your predictions, rather than MMA, boxing and others, sometimes in MMA it's what we take for granted that's the thing. the champion.
The only one that can predict 100% are those who do match fixing but I think they are hard to find online. If there are who present themselves to be one, they are likely to be a scam. In gambling, there is what we called odds. Odds can change and this is how we based our chances of winning other than the knowledge that we have.

It is said that low odds game are less risky but high-odds games are though if we are unlucky, it is still possible for us to lose even in a low-odds game and then it's also possible for us to win in a high-odds game as long as we are lucky. I think football games are harder to predict because they are composed of teams and what if some will perform poorly? But not in MMA, Boxing and similar sport where only played by a single person.

I couldn't help but ponder so hard on this very writings and I was wondering and even to know why such talk was even spoken or even recorded and I still wonder upon which grounds was that sayings came into existence.
I have a friend who isn't a sporty type, he doesn't indulge in sporting activities not even the physical ones, he doesn't even gamble atleast not even once since I knew him and I had to send him a screenshot of this writing to let him know he was a fool and I was even pitying him. Lol just kidding but I'm very sure that there are people who has never gotten involved in gambling atleast not directly and does that mean those persons are now fools ?
Each of us have our own opinion. It can only be their opinion but it does not mean that it will also be true for others. Maybe the people who said that are already attached in gambling and can't imagine life anymore without it. If only we will look around us, there are still a lot of things which can give the same benefits the same as gambling.

There are video games to entertained us for example and then there are jobs to give a profit. They are much better in fact if we are to compare them with gambling. Gambling can come in many forms so it's almost hard to believe if someone didn't try it even if there is no money involved but no those people who do not try or like gambling that much are not a fool.
