2061  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad? on: September 04, 2023, 06:21:56 AM
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.

I do not see any profit on this ASIC. With its cost of $ 1,200, I have a daily profit of 78 cents at a price of 5 cents per kilowatt. And this is assuming that there is 5.8 GB of memory. Jasminer X16-P and Antminer E9 Pro have better energy efficiency.

Efficiency of this miner is one of the best and is geared toward home miners,I see a profit of over 1 dollar excluding electricity even more than 5 cents per kilowatt,at least that is what 2cryptocalc ETC calculator is showing to me,nevertheless even if it is not that profitable,I think even if there is 5.8 GB memory is enough to mine ETC easily.The power consumption is great for home users as I run a 100 Mhsh 2 GPU rig with 210 watt and this machine makes x8 hashrate with just x3 energy consumption,that is a great device but as I said for the home miner,for the enthusiast miner,mining farms can stick with their E9 from Bitmain.

You think the people who play slots are in it exclusively for the money? They aren't. Whether you're gambling for profit or for entertainment, the latter will have some bearing to you and might even be a deciding factor upon which you'll base which game you're going to invest your time on. Sportsbet scratches that brain itch for these people. They wanted to support their favorite teams or bet on the sports that they love but at the same time earn something back from predicting right, isn't that something that is logical and grounded so to speak?

So if you can justify people playing slots, but couldn't for the life of you find logic behind people playing sportsbets, is the problem really behind sportsbetting, or is it with you?

It is behind sport betting and in theory it should be much easier to win in sport betting but the odds should be lower so the initial bet or stake as they call it should be a lot.The problem is that even with these low odds as I said we see a lot of surprise results especially yesterday where we had a lot of them and many of them in the main 5 European Leagues,today was a good day for betting and even me who don't like much sport betting won this worthless bet in money but good in odd well over 13 and it was a big parlay,my biggest regret I just bet a funny amount as I didn't think this would come through when I keep losing bets or parlays with 2 or less odds.How tragic or comic is that?

I think now the top three can all focus on the Super League season as they all qualified in their European competition group stages,a great achievement for all these clubs including Galatasaray who will play in Champions League group stages and Fenerbahce and Besiktash who will play in the Europa Conference League group stages.They played for a large part of the summer in preliminary stages of such competitions and as such their physical condition should be much better than other teams who just made a preparation stage and some friendly games.This reinforces my view that the Championship here will be disputed between these teams with Besiktash being the team that I have seen playing better than the other two.

Still a good race for Ferrari. I just saw Leclerc quite slower than Sainz in most part of the race. I wonder what the reason was.

In fact quite the opposite,he was only slower in the first part where he had no pressure from behind him and he was saving the tires watching the battle in front of him between his team mate and Verstappen.He of course made a lot of errors during this race and it is intolerable for him to not overtake Sainz in the last part of the race where Sainz tires were already gone while Leclerc made them wear out by making mistakes one after another by choosing the wrong point of braking and this was the reason that Sainz ended up third today.He knew the tires were gone and even told to the team via radio "let's bring this home guys" a message which can be translated that please tell Leclerc to stop pushing against me.A race to forget for Leclerc today but only his own fault and no he was not at all slower than Sainz.

1-0 for Inter after the 1st half

The game is not dominated so anything can happen in the second half.

Fiorentina is not a very strong team. Fiorentina were unlikely to win against Inter Milan. But Fiorentina wants to get 1 point in this match. The team adopted a very bad defensive strategy. After that, Inter Milan took the lead in the first half with Marcus Thuram's goal. Inter Milan players are playing very well. But Fiorentina's players are unable to take advantage of Inter Milan's players due to defensive play. Expect Inter Milan's attacks to become more intense in the second half. I look forward to seeing goals from Martinez. Let's see if Martinez can score.
This match ended with a big score of 4-0 and Martinez can score 2 in second half, Fiorentina could not defended better there. It's been three games Inter Milan have started this season really great including today's match against Fiorentina, I mean they haven't conceded a single goal. At the start of this season Lautaro Martínez was also unstoppable in three matches, he was able to record 5 goals, it seems Simone Inzaghi is very happy with Martinez record has achieved in the last three matches.
Fiorentina is a very tough opponent. Inter easily overcame this obstacle and in fact gave some intimidation to other rival teams. A great start for Inter. Same for Lautaro. He made a great start to the season. If Inter continues like this, they will continue to be one of the candidates who can win Scudetto.


They gave this sign last year when it was to late to fight back with Napoli but they started winning games both in Serie A and in Champions League where they reached the final and put in great difficulty there Manchester City having many opportunities wasted by their players.

Now this season they started in the best possible way,winning 3 out of 3 first games of the season and scoring a lot of goals which shows their wonderful form.Most likely they are the strongest contenders to the title this year and I am pretty confident they can win the Scudetto this year if they continue this way.
2067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is your perception about crypto games? on: September 03, 2023, 07:01:55 PM
There are varied crypto games we tend to be fond of that does rely on bullrun to maintain playbase. Another words they perform fine in bull market.

What are your views or perceptions about such games.

You most probably mean that players tend to play more in the bull run and I think if that is what you are asking or stating here it is the truth.Of course it is much better when 0.001 Bitcoin is 60 dollars rather than now which is 25 dollars,meaning with the same amount of Bitcoin people keep playing more and thus increasing their chances to win.However gamblers are gamblers and they keep playing in whatever the situation is,be it bear market or bull market they don't care and they continue trying their chances but in theory what you are saying is true,at least for me.

Is there a problem with the site today because I didn't receive my email for the free spin even I didn't receive my daily spins and more I can't  change my rp to my spin ??

- It is also hapenning with me since eight hours ago.

Same here,every time I try to exchange my RP to WoF it says come back after one hour,I come back and then it says come back after two hours,I came back and then it says come back after four hours and so forth.I also have not received my daily email WoF spin meaning the site is experiencing some problems but that the problems will most likely like always be solved and there will be nothing wrong with the site.

Even when they had problems with weekly lottery a couple of weeks and they showed the result 4 days after Sunday while they max come out a few hours later during Sunday,they fixed it and everything is working fine now,they will fix this too.

Just back from Anfield, thought we were really impressive. The midfield has so much more energy than last season. It’s early days but we could be a real force this season.

Here was my view -



Nice view,despite being early they say the sun can be spotted early in the morning and so far except the first game against Chelsea which strangely they looked like a Championship team in the second half there,since then they have gradually improved a lot and I agree they can be a real force in the season.

Arsenal put up a great show tonight and apparently the bookies were right at 1.75 odd for Arsenal,I thought how come such low odds despite Manchester United not being in top form they still are Manchester United and anytime these teams have played together the odds of the home have been 2 or so.

What a f*cking Mess and the stewards here in Monza the same as their Ferrari team completely unprepared as Perez pointed out in the radio message that why they just didn't remove the car of Tsunoda.Now the restart will be in 15.30 and 30 minutes of waiting of course keeps the nerves of the drivers at the verge,let's see who is the more calm of the drivers and who will be more concentrated who will get the most out of it.Personally it brought my nerves to the maximum,the thing I hate most of the FIA is this,they keep extending the restart as much as possible,I don't know why they do that as the track is already clear from quite some time now.

Again and again Ferrari came up with quite a bad strategy, they had opportunities but could not have used them better. I'm quite sorry for Leclerc because he has to finish in 4th position, he should be better than that. And yeah Max won this race again easily, like the previous races, and I'm not even surprised by that.

Totally Leclerc fault at 150% not being able to pass that Sainz with tires already gone,he should have been patient just a bit more and Sainz would have been passed easily,he should have gone for the inside but Sainz asked the team let's bring this home and not risk it effectively asking the team to stop Leclerc.While they did not stop him completely they told him race till the end but don't risk it and this made Leclerc make a lot of errors in the last attempts he made to overtake Sainz which was again as I said totally Leclerc fault despite other circumstances.

Max made history today by winning 10 races which is the only driver in history to have won 10 consecutive races in F1.
2071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How much it cost to most ALL internet with your casino advertisement? $6.2m/d on: September 03, 2023, 03:30:52 PM
I wonder how much it would cost for partnering with streamers on Kick to promote a gambling platform. They get certain contracts from what I understand but I'm not sure if casinos or igaming are allowed to deal with them directly since Kick is basically run by the owner of Stake.

Kick is the rival of Twitch in case you didn't know. A lot of streamers migrated there when they were banned on Twitch.
Very much depends on your number of fellowership, and also the average number of views you get on every video you post, or number of participants that turn up on your live stream every time you go online..
.
I've saw in one news article about Stake paying one streamer a whopping $1 million dollars for a streaming contract, though it was not stated how long the contract was to last, but one thing I've come to believe is that, streamers with a huge following are making a killing from online gambling casinos in terms of promotion and advertisement .

I think that was with Drake as a contract and being one of the most expensive contracts in gambling advertising.This guy was playing 1 million dollars bets anyway before joining Stake and people like him make a lot of impact,I don't know if the contract with him is still active but for advertisement it means if you get the best bang for your money if you get the best people to promote your site.Casinos are at the forefront of paying different people and venues to make them advertise their business and as such making an impact,if they do not spend money on marketing their website would be dead in a very short amount of time that is why most reputable casinos spend a lot and I mean truly a lot in marketing efforts.

My regret was not doing it earlier when you could easily get 9/1 with a price boost. Chelsea, United, for the time being, if you see 7/1 against them, take it. Depending on Liverpool, go against them too -- but judging from odds, bookies don't rate them too well.
Liverpool doing the job much easier than expected today but I sort of think this is more about Aston Villa. Still very small sample size but it seems to me that Villa will be excellent against smaller clubs and then loose big against stronger ones. They were nowhere against Newcastle in second half, they are really poor today and in between they destroyed weaker opposition.

Could have been even better for LFC today if Nunez were just a bit more clinical, but he scored last week when it was important. Who cares about today Smiley

Yeah Aston Villa is doing well relatively as they were qualified to group stages easily in the Europa Conference League and being maybe a contender there since last year the competition was won by West Ham which is in the same level as a team with Aston Villa.

I agree though,they were devastated by Newcastle in the first game of the season and right now by Liverpool who had a very easy game and made a lot of bettors easy as usually we don't see an 1.60 odd of Liverpool when playing at home against Aston Villa in different context,meaning when Liverpool is the favorite they have the odd of 1.35 to 1.45 most of the time.
2073  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Socialtournaments-A way to stop gambling addiction on: September 03, 2023, 02:44:51 PM
That's unusual for a casino game provider to launch a program to stop gambling addiction. They are doing this to promote their games and for people hooked up to the games they are providing, so when they stop, these social tournaments people will use real money to play their games because they are now hooked to it.

I doubt if any of the participants can say that he stopped his addiction to gambling by participating in these social tournaments, If I want my addiction stopped I will contact a professional and undergo a rehabilitation program not play games associated with casino game providers.

That's exactly what I was thinking. I can't understand how anyone who even remotely knows how the industry works can think that this is done altruistically to stop people from playing. It is precisely the opposite, as you rightly say. And it's laughable that people like the OP have swallowed the bait and think this is some kind of social work on the part of the casino.

It is not that I got the bait mate,I know that most likely they want to promote their games as if you win big there you may think now let's go and play for real the slot of these provider,for me though is different,I have some urge to keep spinning the slot machines daily and to remove this addiction it is some days that I am playing only there without using real money except my time which honestly is not much,I can do 6 tournaments for an hour and also by doing so to lower the desire to go and spin in real casinos with real money,in this context this is a good option to stop playing.

Last year we had some problems in the first lap with a Ferrari and a Mercedes touching themselves and pushing Russell out of the track in the first double corner of this track.Max should be very careful to not make any mistake as he is starting in a sandwich between the Ferraris.

When asked from Skysports journalist how will you get that 10th win today he joked by coming first but jokes aside he said I am not that concerned about 10 victories in a row,all I want is to get another Championship in my pocket because in the end this is what I fight for,so he is focused on the Championship although he has already won it.Maybe he wanted to remove attention from him and try to win this race.
2076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: September 03, 2023, 12:36:20 PM
Such a great improvement in lap time by Sainz! I was really fed up with seeing Verstappen dominant everywhere. I was hoping to see some different things in qualifying session at least. Monza is home track for Ferrari so it was important for them to have a decent session. But I think they weren't even confident of themselves to take pole position normally.

I would have expected Leclerc to do better than Sainz but the other way around happened. But when it comes to the race I'm not so hopeful about Ferrari drivers. It is actually due to the team rather than Sainz and Leclerc. But hopefully the team surprise me at least in Italy to have a successful race. Even if they don't get a win being on podium with both drivers would also be a wonderful work.

I highly doubt Ferrari can win a race but as you say it would be a huge achievement for them to be both in the podium.Even this though remains very difficult to achieve as their team has often ruined their races with wrong strategy or being completely unprepared at the pit stop making their drivers lose a lot of race precious time.We all know in normal conditions Redbull is unstoppable and even in the race distance they are the best car on the grid,it will all depend on the first turn,if there is some crash which usually has been in the back of the grid things can change and precipitate right away with Safety Car coming in.

Yes, there are various viewpoints on the topic of sports betting. Some view it as a fun experience and a chance to analyse utilising their sports knowledge. Others view it as a dangerous undertaking with little payoff!!!

People continue to bet on sports for a variety of reasons, including entertainment, the chance to test their sports knowledge and skills, the possibility of financial gain, social interaction, the thrill of victory, emotional connections to teams or athletes, the availability of a wide range of betting options, and the conviction that data-driven decisions should be made. These elements work together to keep individuals interested in sports betting despite surprises.
Slot machines appeal to players because they are easy to use, exciting, allow for solitary play, and offer the possibility of large payouts in addition to alluring bonuses and promotions. However, it's important for people to be cautious about the possibility of addiction and to set clear boundaries while gambling. Slot machines may have tempting features, but excessive gambling can have negative effects on one's finances and relationships. Responsible gambling is therefore always crucial.



For the sport betting I agree with all you said but nowadays there are referees that ruin games of teams who are playing very well they are winning,they get equalized,they soon after attack and keep attacking there are 100% sure penalties that are not given by the referees and they do not go to watch the VAR when they are invited to,what the f*ck is FIFA/UEFA doing with these referees,they should be out of the institution as they violate the rules of the institution by doing whatever they think is right and breaking the rules,thinking they are God or what,that is why sport betting is not the same,you can test your knowledge as much as you want but the referee has full power nowadays clearly impacting the outcome of the games.
2078  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: September 03, 2023, 10:19:49 AM
I think Napoli's losing to Lazio home isn't a thing to be surprised of too much. Of course Napoli were still the favourite side however this can happen in big matches of a league. You know how much Napoli dominated the previous season. Despite that they lost to Lazio home then as well. But this loss wasn't any obstacle for them to win the title easily. Hence it wouldn't be fair to judge Napoli harshly for just losing this match. I believe in them to make up for this loss shortly.

Maybe Napoli wouldn't get a that comfortable title this time but they can surely be one of the biggest contenders.

It would not have been a big surprise if Lazio was the same as last year but this year they started in the worse possible way by losing at home against Genoa and now they go and win at Napoli,this sure was the biggest surprise of yesterday games for me.Napoli of course it is not the same team as last year but at least at home they should continue to showcase their strength and win their games in their legendary stadium and really ardent fans.

Let's hope for no more surprises in today games where Juventus should win after their miserable fail last week at home against Bologna,against Empoli tonight I am confident they will get the three points and the odd of 1.65 is really good to take profit of.

I have done so as I know every day there are different tournaments there,it is enough to stop my urge to gamble with real money and I like the opportunity to win real money on top of that as it is using nothing to earn something.Of course it is not nothing as we use our time but most tournaments there with the autoplay and the turbo spin end in less than 15 minutes so that is great.I know though that they are doing it not to stop gambling addiction but to promote their games yet there are people like me who are using them to stop throwing real money into different casinos,so far it is working for me.
2080  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Slots with the purchase of bonus games - is it good or bad? on: September 03, 2023, 09:20:07 AM
A few years ago, slots appeared with the purchase of bonus games. Within a short period of time, almost every software has implemented this feature.
For me, the game of slot machines has changed a lot. The winnings in the regular bonus have become smaller, and the purchase of bonuses breaks the whole ideology of slot machines. By the way, the chances of a big win in purchased bonuses are much higher, but I do not like to buy them.
How do you feel about slots with purchasable bonuses? Would you like to do everything as it was before, without buying bonuses?

In a time where the original slot machines in where you would have to spin a lot of spins in order to get the bonus you would not get any big win in most of the times there,they were only to give you some sort of belief to continue playing.Nowadays when the buy bonus feature is in almost all providers except a few like Play n Go which are missing out on a lot of players as most of us like to buy the bonus because if we see a lot of empty spins we buy the bonus with the hope of hitting it big and in fact max wins usually come within the bonus feature so I would not like at all slots like before,I only play slots with buy in feature now.
