Manchester City is really into easy group because they only will faced Leipzig, Red Star and Young Boys so we all know Manchester City squad quality is far above to these teams and certainly they will advances to the next stage with smoothly because possibly Manchester City will beat all of them and on the paper Leipzig is became an the second team who possibly will qualified but they have bad experience when they met Manchester City last season because on round of 16 Leipzig has been humiliated by Manchester City with huge scores 7-0 and i am sure they have ambition want to get revenge but i think it will be very hard because Manchester City currently as one of the strongest team in Europa and not much team who can able to beat them

Most of the groups seems easy in Champions League this year but surprise results have happened here not long ago when Maccabi Haifa beat Juventus two times and they were qualified for Europa League while Juventus stayed out completely.This to say that things may look easy on paper but in reality if surprise results happen I would not be surprised at all as this is football in the end,of course I do not expect any surprise against the likes of Manchester City and Bayern Munchen which are some big teams while for any other team any result cannot be considered a big surprise if they lose a game.
2042  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sometimes the win is right in front of us-little tip to sport bettors on: September 06, 2023, 06:08:24 AM
Well if sports bettor overlooks squads of teams he is betting for or against its %100 mistake. Most of bad sports bettors tend to look at names of clubs. Obviously bigger names (like Real Madrid) are expected to win against smaller ones. But sometimes underdog teams have more stable squad and better manager but favored big team may miss main goalkeeper or striker so they may experience huge issues. Squads are important part of sports betting.

That is true but most of the times in nowadays games we see for example Real Madrid since you are talking about them that they have difficulties to win their game and especially in their home stadium where the pressure of their fans is felt from the players,they want at all cost to satisfy these great fans and as such in the game against Getafe,Real barely scored the 2-1 goal in the 96th minute of the game.

So in few cases even looking at the squad won't help much but in the majority of the cases it will do so,as bad luck will only happen once or twice in sport betting and it is not consecutive like in slot machines  Grin.
2043  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad? on: September 05, 2023, 09:30:32 AM
Yup, we never know the results that will be obtained from 1x purchase, whether 5x, 10x or maxwin or even zero. It also cannot be predicted with any pattern. Someone can play longer with the bonus buy, someone else can run out quickly. No matter how much it is worth, this will be the same. Some people suggest using a buy bonus, if you feel you can't get free spins from normal spins. Others suggested switching games. This means that there is still a 50:50 opinion that the buy bonus is better than normal spins. The best way is, follow your hearth choice.
Yes, everything will depend on the luck of each gambler and even though some people buy a 10x bonus, that doesn't guarantee they can get maxwin. But some people only buy 1x or 2x bonuses, they can get maxwin and it will come back to their luck. Buying bonuses is still an option for many gamblers because, according to them, it can increase the rate of return they can get. But again, it depends on luck. And we can't stop them from buying bonuses because maybe they prefer to buy bonuses rather than using normal spins. But some people get bonuses from normal spins and can get maxwin. And if that's the case, they are very lucky and in this forum, some members can get it.

What is wrong with all others like me who keep buying the bonus even more than x100 times.I have seen that by doing so and the most important thing being to not RAISE the bet in 90% of the times I have played at least in Pragmatic Play provider I have managed to increase my bankroll quite substantially.The only problem I need to solve is my greed which always tells me to raise the bet and exactly when I do so the slots from this provider start eating my balance in the fastest way possible,so my advice to all people looking to win some extra money is to never raise the bet.

Online might be more homogeneous, but I'm not sure.

That is a sure thing that online is more homogeneous and I say this from personal experience.I have played slots from a long time now online and I can say with 100% precision accuracy that almost all the different slot providers offer almost the same game play mechanics,not in themes,music or bonus games but in the sense that with every such provider as soon as you raise your bet you start losing money in the fastest way possible,something which with all of them does not happen when you play with the minimum bet.So yeah they are a lot homogeneous in the online arena.

As expected another easy win for MAx.

Driver of the day, Sainz without any doubt. Today he has been a monster.

Yup...  Is Leclerc just not trying hard to get as much from his car anymore?  I feel like he's starting to fade and just want to get this season over and done with to start anew on 2024.  He says Ferrari promised him a really good car next year.  I think it's a crock of sht as the Ferrari brass just wants him to commit and sign a new long term contract.

But we'll see and I hope I'm wrong.  Seeing RBR winning a lot of podiums again next year would be meh.

Italian GP 2023:  Race Highlights
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd9eALWJRzY

Seeing how Leclerc has performed in the last few races, I quite agree with what you say. Leclerc doesn't look like he's trying any better with the car he drives. He seemed to be trying to play it safe, even though if he could play better he should be able to get a better position. I think if Sainz continues to get unfair treatment from Ferrari, maybe he will leave this team for a better team.

I don't think Sainz has ever received unfair treatment from Ferrari and in fact in this last race his radio message "Guys let's bring this home" was fully supported by the team which told Leclerc soon after,race to the end but let's not risk it.
I think that Leclerc got really nervous by this message and that is why he made those many mistakes which completely consumed his tires during his fight against Sainz,if he was a bit more calm I am pretty confident he would have passed Sainz in the end as Sainz was racing already with the tires gone.
2046  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Your security is our top priority! on: September 05, 2023, 07:24:40 AM
Safety should always be our number 1 priority no matter what the topic is. Whether it is slicing onions, sending bitcoin, trading crypto, doing bench press… or online gambling. It doesn’t matter. Safety always goes first. It is amazing to force your players to do 2FA before they login. Most casinos don’t care. Some people don’t even know their passwords. Their browser remembers it for them. As the tech gets more advanced, people get more relaxed and the more relaxed they get, the more scammed they can get. I support any casino that works actively to protect their customers from the hackers. 5 stars

I think that is a good idea to force 2FA as it helps people being protected.We recently have seen a lot of phishing attempts and that some of them are even being successful at the people not being at all careful what they are clicking.The 2FA implementation will make sure that no one can withdraw their funds even if hackers manage to be successful in their phishing attempts.As they say in IT the 2FA when implemented through Google Authenticator app and not 2FA with phone number SMS adds a substantial 99.99% layer of security.

Lately it is always the same unfortunately,I play with IDR as a currency and play Pragmatic Play slots,I buy the bonus at minimum bet of 100 IDR which is 10.000 IDR,I keep playing games that offer such low bets like Big Bass series and while I am playing with this bet usually if I play long enough I win about 200.000-300.000 IDR by only buying the bonus in these games.As soon as I raise the bet though in order to try and go for that max win I get busted in the fastest possible way,the problem is that I never seem to learn that I keep making the same mistake over and over again.

If he is a gambler, I can not borrow him any money. Either I borrow him what I can give him, or I will just give him the part of the money that I can afford to give a friend and he should look for elsewhere to borrow the remaining.

Gambling is gambling and it is risky. Gambling should not be what I will borrow people money for and I can not partner with a gambler that is risking so much of his money on gambling because the amount I am winning and losing on gambling is very small.

I would give him money I can afford to give to him,if he is playing at the same casino as me I would tip him from my balance,gamblers solidarity that's it.I would also not borrow any money to him as borrowed money to a gambler can be lost for good,several years ago in my past job I had a colleague who kept asking anybody for money as borrowed money and in the beginning everybody gave him,they didn't know he was an addicted gambler,as soon as we knew,no one gave him money,he kept asking for money even in salary day because his salary was kept to pay the debts,he used to tell us I need money for pills and something like that but no one believed him anymore,as such based on this personal story gambling solidarity is what I would do at best.

Really sorry to all for miss the second round of the tournament.

We are gonna start the third round now, with the game between Central Cordoba and Platense.

The game to follow this weekend its Racing - Estudiantes

About some news, Diego Milito resign his charge as manager of Argentinos Jrs, caught all by surprise.

That shows why Argentinos Juniors yesterday in Copa de La Liga was leading comfortably 2-0 against Atletico Tucuman and they were equalized in just 5 minutes,they conceded 2 goals in just 5 minutes,it means most probably they have lost the compass without a real new coach in this game.The odds were good for them at 1.70 I think seeing their recent form which they have been on a really good run compared to how they started out and I think Milito should have not resign,he was doing OK here.They are still in 10th place in Liga Professional which gives them a place in Copa Sudamericana,not that bad for them.
2050  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: September 04, 2023, 11:40:12 AM
I believe you can lose more than 10% even with huge number of spin since some slot games have a very tough volatility that will surely drain the bankroll even with just 5% house edge. It’s important to consider volatility and hit ratio since this is the real killer. It’s a high risk high reward.

That is definitely true in most slots from the world most famous providers,high risk high reward and the slots tell you in their info page the level of volatility,if it is 5 star or 5 lightnings meaning the highest level it means that it is the most extreme level of volatility and in these kind of slots from what I have seen from other people,not personal experience,you either hit the max win in the first 100-200 spins on your session or if you continue most likely you end up losing everything.

There is a way to continue playing longer and that is using all your balance set aside for slots play to use that to buy the bonus with the lowest bet or second lowest bet and as such you will have a really slow long session which can result in you losing less money,again this is my personal theory,nothing proved here.
2051  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 04, 2023, 11:20:57 AM
I have seen the schedule for week 1 for group stage and i found a big match between Bayern Munich vs Manchester United and if i am not mistaken both team has been met total 11 times and Bayern Munich had 4 wins and 2 lose 5 draw so from these records we can see Bayern Munich had good records from Manchester United everytime they were met and i think this time too will not so different because currently Manchester United had facing storm injured and their situations also doesn't really good because at Premier League Manchester United performance is still not stable but for Bayern Munich the arrival of Kane has giving positive impact for them because finally Bayern Munich has return to winning ways and in my opinion big possibilities Bayern Munich can able to overcomes Manchester United

Well if Manchester United offers only glimpse of personal magic from different players as they done yesterday against Arsenal pretty sure the game is going to be won by Bayern Munchen which is on a great run in their domestic league so far showing a great performance.Harry Kane seems to have familiarized himself pretty quickly with the new team there and this is more headache for Manchester United as Kane has scored quite some times against them when playing for Tottenham.If Manchester does not change posture and approach and continue with this low performances like in the Premier League then there are 3 sure points to grab for Bayern Munchen.

It looks like most people ended up happy. Lesson to learn like in La Liga with Sevilla, better to avoid Chelsea and Manchester United until they find form.

Nice photos LFC, the fans must have been really enjoying themselves Smiley

Now we have to pray for someone beat City so we don't get another booooring season.

The only team who can beat City from what I have seen so far remains Liverpool at their home,I see absolutely no chance for any other team to beat them either away or in their home,the teams are early into the Premier League season who is a long one and maybe they are not at their 100% of their physical condition but so far City seems in another planet regarding their quality.They showed this force against Sheffield where they had only 5 minutes to win the game and they scored in just 3 minutes after they were equalized in 85th minute of the game.

On a side note for Sevilla,like Chelsea we should always bet against them this season,they will most likely end up losing most of their games if they continue with this level of performance.

Paris has now the attack of the France national team with Mbappe and Koloumany and this was felt yesterday night when they completely dominated the game away at Lyon home,they even scored loads of goals and showed an extremely entertaining football yesterday night,I had quite some time without seeing a Paris like that.I think it is due to the fact that Mbappe now has nowhere to move as 31 August passed and he will be playing with them until 31 December,also Koloumany is a great forwarder too.Lyon is in bad shape in this beginning of the season and yesterday Paris made them look even worse than they are,I don't think they will play for Europe this year,same as last year and it means them as a team are down as they were usual in European competition.
2054  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: September 04, 2023, 09:18:48 AM
~snip~I fully support what you have said about how much the community cares about the addict but usually in some countries that prohibit gambling it will be very difficult to find people around who help gambling addicts to recover because the people around think if it is their own fault and go back to what What I said at the beginning is that only friends can help when you do not have family.
If the gambler has no family, his friends, relatives, neighbors may come forward to help him if he tells them about his situation. A relative of mine was going through a bad situation due to gambling addiction, then with the support of his family members including me, he learned self control and now he has come out of this situation. But it required a lot of time. So in this situation, if the gambler can be given mental energy by the people around him, it gives very effective results, so that he can quickly change himself. I found it very effective.

Whether it's difficult or not depends on the people around you, but it's not that difficult, there will definitely be some people or neighbors who can help. A gambling addict is not like other crimes such as drugs or a fugitive, he is not dangerous, he just needs counseling or needs moral support so he can come to his senses and return to a normal life. Everyone has faults and they also deserve a second chance.

That is easier said than done unfortunately.I had a colleague in my office a couple of years ago which was heavily addicted not only to gambling but even to other bad things like alcohol,we kept talking to him a lot to change direction,not only us also his family as they were also working with the same company so he got daily a lot of moral lectures yet he continued to gamble and drink alcohol until one day his heart ceded and he has passed away at the age of 52,a young age I would say.This said story I posted here to show that it is with the same difficulty that is to convince a drug addict to persuade a gambling addict too,when the level of addiction is really high. 
2055  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Alfa Romeo F1 Team on: September 04, 2023, 09:03:13 AM
I said the fact that now there is not 1 amount for everybody, if you are inactive you get amount x, if you are active you get amount xx.
Before the change, EVERYBODY on the same level got the same amount, active or not.
How they are judging the activity and inactivity of an account? I have received $10 only from the last two post-monthly bonus despite making deposits. I have lost most of my deposits there in the last few months. But I wasn't able to wager anything significant as I lost the deposits quickly always.

I want to confirm that I was getting the same amount like other platinum III rank user before the changes were made. Although, there used to be little difference ($2 to $3) occasionally, but now the difference is quite big.

Well there is still no formula for that.
My guess is when you wager around 3k in 1 month you are eligible for a full monthly bonus and at least for 1 week a full weekly (if those 3k were made in 1 week.

That's only by my observation using my inactive account.

But with stake you never know since for unknown reasons they make such a big secret out of it. I guess it's because so they can shrink the bonuses from time to time without players knwoing whats going on.  Roll Eyes

@AHOYBRAUSE it’s clear by now that Stake doesn’t wishes to reveal this formula maybe for the fear that player’s will try and abuse it for more bonus hence it’s pointless to even calculate it. Lastly even if if by some luck someone discovers it Stake will never agree or even deny that’s the formula thus it’s making no sense to invest time in cracking this formula at-least that’s what I personally feel.

I think Eddie gave a short explanation a while ago... where he said that a base amount are paid per VIP rank and then also based on what you played and how much you played. The Stake original games count the least towards the bonus and then the 3rd party slots and then the Sports betting counting the most.

They are not giving the exact formula, because they do not want players only to play the games that count the most towards wagering. (It is structured in a way that if you lose more, you get a bigger bonus.... but just slightly)  Roll Eyes

I don't think the formula has changed much honestly as I wagered last week more than 7000 dollars,lost about 80 dollars in 3 deposits which in wagered were 7000 as I said and I got the weekly just near 8 dollars.I have done the same many times before the new formula was introduced and the same amount I was awarded no matter if I lost or won money.

I wonder how can sport betting counting the most as usually people play a lot more in slot machines,be it in time and in money spent so yeah most probably the third party slots are the best regarding such bonuses.
2056  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 04, 2023, 08:25:26 AM
I thought Fiorentina would score too so I decided to bet on both teams to score. However the final score was 4-0. I wish I bet on Inter instead but I didn't expect them to win this comfortable honestly. Because Fiorentina weren't doing bad either. But they seemed really weak in defense in this game.

Martinez continues to impress everyone with his high level performance. He is definitely the most valuable player for the team now. No wonder why he is rumoured with some top teams from time to time. But he is happy to be part of Inter for now.

The problem with Fiorentina is that they were mostly tired because they had a difficult game in Europa Conference League where they suffered to qualify for the group stages against Rapid Vienna which put them in great difficulty and they only realized the 2nd goal,that of the qualification in the late 90 minutes.Inter was fresh and was playing at home so we should have all took profit from such great odd of Inter at 1.70 while playing in their home field against a tired team as you can't recover in just two days as they played on Thursday and then on Sunday,I know this is not a justification for big teams like Fiorentina but it impacted the game for them surely.
2057  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Using Statistical Data to Win Sports Betting Picks on: September 04, 2023, 07:48:48 AM
Statistical data help sometimes but most of the times they are worthless as the teams change over time,what a team with a certain level of players achieved in last years does not mean that they will achieve the same with different players after the old players have moved away from such team and I am talking about soccer here as a team although this is true for any other collective sports.

The statistical data can be really helpful in one vs one games like tennis for example as the big guys here rarely lose against weaker opponents which is much different compared to collective sports like soccer or basketball where surprise results happen a lot.

Barselona almost drew the match but the penalty shootout was a huge opportunity for them as the match was 1-1 until the 84th minute. Barcelona won today's match and got total 10 points and on the other hand Girona is in 2nd position with 10 points and Real Madrid is in 1st position with 12 points.  Barcelona will be in position to overtake Girona if they win their next match.  And then Real Madrid will be their only rival
Barcelona still hasn't shown a convincing performance, the victory this time was quite helped because of the penalty prize, and fortunately, Lewandowski managed to execute the penalty well, the previous match they also almost lost to Villareal because they were behind by the home team, and it looks like they are having quite a problem in the away game because from 3 away matches they have had difficulties if Xavi Hernandez hard to finds their weak points and fixes them immediately then Real Madrid will be very comfortable staying at the top.

Seeing that Girona has not been defeated in the 4 matches they have played is quite surprising, last season Girona was not too special and managed to finish in 10th place, and in the future many things could happen including Girona losing and the top four will be filled by teams that are indeed used to being in that position, unless Girona is able to maintain their appearance well to continue to get good results.

I think it was not luck that they won,they dominated the game and different from the Villareal game in this game they played much better compared to Osasuna.It would have been devastating if they didn't win yesterday night with penalty or not,the fact that they kept attacking it means that they are in the good way toward their title protecting this year,Real barely managed to win against Getafe and that is the team which has not been doing that well in game play despite the results show otherwise for them,for me Barcelona is much better and over the long run will be better.
2059  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: September 04, 2023, 06:42:24 AM
Liverpool have scored 3 goals against Aston Villa and we can already say that this will be Liverpool's victory at Anfield. It will certainly be very difficult for Aston Villa to overcome the 3 goal deficit, especially since it is impossible to equalize it. But I think Aston Villa still have a chance to shorten the defeat. It seems that Unai Emery's troops are not performing well in this away match and their consistency seems to have stopped at Anfield. There are around 10 minutes of normal time remaining in the match and of course congratulations on Liverpool's victory today.
Liverpool is one of the best teams with very high consistency at home. Anfield's atmosphere has always been a motivation for the Reds, and today they won their third game of the season and moved up to the third position in the Premier League behind Manchester City and Tottenham.

Liverpool will try very well this season; they can challenge for the Premier League title together with Arsenal and Manchester United.
Anfield stadium has always been the best performing stadium for Liverpool, so far Liverpool have won most wins at this stadium and Liverpool are favorites at this ground against any major team. No team can perform at their best against the noise of the Anfield stadium. In the match against West Ham, Liverpool defeated West Ham by a huge margin of 3-0 goals. By winning the last match, Liverpool managed to write their name among the top 5 teams in the points table of the English Premier League. The rest of the Liverpool players do not understand the absence of the stars of the team who have left the team so far. Liverpool is currently number three in the points table with 10 points after winning three matches and drawing one match in the first four matches.

Liverpool defeated Aston Villa and not West Ham but anyway it is true that when playing at their home stadium they have the 12 player which are the fans and the noise they make.They are one of a kind,the fans of Liverpool as they keep singing "You will never walk alone" even when the team is losing their game 0-3 for example something that you won't find fans of other teams doing it.Liverpool is really becoming a force during this season except the first game where they didn't manage to win against Chelsea at Chelsea home,other than that they have started their campaign this year really strong.

We can expect to get something big from buying the Bonus but we still have to realize that it depends on your luck. Besides that, you also have to calculate the amount of money to buy the Bonus because we cannot always get any winnings from the Bonus. And only people with great luck can get their big wins.
Yup, we never know the results that will be obtained from 1x purchase, whether 5x, 10x or maxwin or even zero. It also cannot be predicted with any pattern. Someone can play longer with the bonus buy, someone else can run out quickly. No matter how much it is worth, this will be the same. Some people suggest using a buy bonus, if you feel you can't get free spins from normal spins. Others suggested switching games. This means that there is still a 50:50 opinion that the buy bonus is better than normal spins. The best way is, follow your hearth choice.

Obviously, those who end up lucky at buying bonus will say that's better.

But still, luck plays a role. We should not overrate too much that buying a bonus is a sure road to winning. It's just gives us the opportunity to skip those several normal spins and head straight to the bonus feature by paying a cost. Since it's not cheap, sometimes that's the reason why bankroll got busted quickly.

The result is still the same, depending on how far luck will give to us.

I have tried both ways in slots that offers you such thing,bonus buy and normal spins,I have played a huge number of normal spins to only get the bonus a couple of times which is the same speed of draining your balance as buying the bonus is.However when using the buy bonus option you at least are paying a cost in order to have a chance to win big as it is in the bonus games that the highest multipliers usually happen and not in normal spins although some very few times it can happen in normal spins also and as such is better to use the buy bonus option in my opinion.
