I think the surprise result of today games in the Premier League we can all agree to it to be this lost game of Manchester United.Of course Tottenham is a good level team and it cannot be considered a big surprise yet for me it is as it shows how weak the team of Manchester United it is when playing outside their home field and they are very fragile in defense.Tottenham played better than them and I don't think the fact that Kane is not with them anymore will be felt that much.When I see the result of Brentford in today game winning away from home I think that getting a draw for Tottenham in the first week was not that bad.
2222  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 19, 2023, 07:17:07 PM
You should not gamble if you feel stressful whenever you gamble even if you are using own money. Gambling should be use for fun and you should stop if are already stressful in the game since it only means that you can’t handle risk. You don’t get the real purpose of gambling.

I understand about the pressure on playing using loan money but not all user here feel the same way because some user just need quick funds in crypto while waiting for their salary.
Why will a gambler utilized loan money for gambling in the first place, it absolutely makes no sense. Loans are taken for budgeting purposes, not gambling, and they have implications that we might never exist after encountering. Gambling with a solid mental balance will undoubtedly lead to gambling with an estimated amount of money, rather than the other way around. When it comes to gambling, we feel more pressure to do what we think is right, but we often forget that the chances of succeeding are 50/50. It's as simple as that: our results either result in profits or loses.

This is a very rational statement which is being said by a rational person,even if you maybe a gambler based on what you say that loans are for budgeting purposes makes you a very rational person and that is a good thing.The problem though is that gamblers who are deep down in addiction or near falling to it will not think that cold headed and will just say that I get this loan and I win money,deep down they think they will win with this money but unfortunately for them it is a dead end tunnel which you have a lot of difficulties turning back and getting out from there.
2223  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Typical scenario when you are losing on: August 19, 2023, 07:01:45 PM
I’ve been gambling for a long time which make sme experience tons of losses and gains at the same time. On this topic, I listed below the typical scenario whenever I experience loss. I notice this before but I’m ignoring it because I don’t want to believe that it’s really the cause.


Scenario when I lose in gambling
  • Waking up early morning to play gambling without eating any breakfast
  • When someone badgering me behind while I’m playing
  • When I already on adrenaline mode after losing more than 50% of my bankroll and start chasing losses using huge bets.
  • Gambling late night while I feel already sleepy
  • Playing gambling after a recent huge win
  • When I already huge amount while I can’t withdraw my balance due to my pending deposit
  • Chasing small bets lose while I’m already up by huge profit just to close my balance to nearest whole number

I’m still tracking all my human error that keeps me giving a regular losses when I’m on this condition. Do you have something like this?


I agree with most of these scenarios that are losing ones while I don't agree with gambling late at night,I usually play deep into the night starting in 20 PM and going up to 2 AM or more and in these sessions I have seen a lot of lost sessions but also my biggest wins are also in such time usually around 11 PM to 1 AM as in here I have hit the x2000 to x3000 which are my biggest multipliers.

All others I fully agree with them as I have experienced them first hand also but gambling at night for me is the biggest motivator despite the lost sessions as I said because of my max multipliers hit during that time.

Nice win for Southampton in the last minute of the game,I was watching the live odds and the ones of Southampton were 4.25 before they scored that goal that gave them the win,the odd of draw was 1.22 and I think most people would have been reluctant to bet on Southampton to win at that time but great performance from Southampton.

For other games I think Leicester needs to win this game after not having that good of a start by drawing in the first game,now is their chance to start their steam toward the qualification for the Premier League again.

The Liverpool vs Bournemouth match is going to start at Liverpool's home ground. Although today's match is full of excitement between the two teams, it can be said for sure that Liverpool has the highest chance of winning. We know every team performs well at their home ground and plays enough roles to win. Since Liverpool are playing at home today, they are stronger than Bournemouth, but if Liverpool take their opponents normally, it may not be possible to win the match. However, most Liverpool supporters on various gambling platforms are sure to say that Liverpool will win today's match.

Liverpool should not only win this game but they should more than winning the game convince the fans and everyone else of their firepower.In the first game against Chelsea they did not do well,in the second half they looked compared to Chelsea as a team from a lower division of England while Chelsea dominated completely the game.The chance against a team like Bournemouth which is not strong at all and Liverpool playing at home should make one of those victories like the last year 7-0 and convince everyone.

Massa went through legal channels to ask for the world title which was illegally taken from him in 2008.

After what Briatore confessed a few months ago Felipe went on the attack, we'll see how it ends.

I don't know what Massa wants but it would be really funny if FIA decided to hand him over the title of 2008 where Hamilton won the title with a weaker car than Ferrari then.I still remember very well that day when Glock had that problem,the rain and all the problems,I will never forget that the Brazilian fans gifted him the shirt of Vasco de Gama football team where they thought that these are the eternal second place as they had a lot of runner up finishes,yet Hamilton accepted it and didn't give a damn about that superstition,in fact it brought him luck the opposite of what Brazilian fans wanted.

Tomorrow we will see a match Al Hilal vs Al Fayha, will Neymar will play in this match and become his first debut in Saudi Arabia? he's a midfielder according to Al Hilal's squad data. Sadly I can't view the line up, usually in top league the line up will shown up few days before the match happen.

I think it's exciting to see there's a match between teams that imported European players and meet each other.

The money moves everything as they say and in Saudi where they have tons of money thanks to their rich oil resources are using them for their new form of entertainment,they want to see European football players playing in their league.When I remember this league just some years ago this was really funny as a league where a lot of amateur mistakes were being made and people joked about them.Now in here plays Cristiano,Benzema,Neymar and a some other player which I forgot the name that all came from major European leagues.

I once made a lot of money from trading crypto, not from gambling, although I feel like they're pretty similar. I understand that feeling back then, being overly greedy and thinking everything was a piece of cake because of my previous success. The outcome was that I ended up losing most of my earnings. Now, I'm working on dealing with both big losses and wins. I'm taking breaks to help me regain my perspective.
But making money through trading is technically possible, while gambling is technically impossible due to house edge. You can make a lot money, but you must the casino owner, team or the promoter, not become the gambler.

Even there are few times you won in gambling, it's not enough to cover all of your previous losses, which mean in the end you're losing.

Even in trading you are betting against the future and predicting the future we know it is impossible otherwise we would have seen a lot of millionaires through trading.I know that in trading you have some technical and fundamental analyses that helps you decide on your prediction but have we not the same in gambling as there are sites who analyze each team before placing a bet,so overall for me as I have said many times before,trading is the same as gambling in the sense that you cannot predict the future.
2229  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: August 19, 2023, 12:12:13 PM
Online gambling has been the next revolution towards money making and entertainment right from tbe comfort of your home, no prejudice, no fear of being judged, written off and not getting into nasty conflicts that could result in a gambling house. These cuts across all of those uglies to present to you what you seek.
This has been the bases that enabled the industry to thrive. The industry has seen several expansions since then with the introduction of bots to simulate what is obtainable in the physical with the exception of a physical presence and when the metaverse is fully developed, you could only imagine what it would be for the gambling industry. We would see it explode into some billion dollar business that would take be ignored by both government and investors with a mindset of making a fortune.
The gambling business is now a multi-billion dollar business that is still a concern for the government to be able to benefit from the permits that the government has given to the many casinos in their city. And with the development of the gambling industry, the government feels that the income from this gambling business can increase in the future because there are many rich people who still want to gamble even though they can gamble in online casinos. They will still go to offline casinos and play with friends while discussing business matters. And the casinos will get a bigger benefit because in terms of income, the casinos will get a lot of money from the gamblers.

In where I am the offline gambling industry is doing better than the online,at least from what I see and because of people being about doubtful for the online gambling.To all my friends I have converted them to online players as I showed them with proof that the games that they were playing from providers like Admiral,Aristocrat and a couple of other providers are not worthy when I showed them the x10000 and up winnings from Pragmatic and others.

So yes the online gambling industry is probably everywhere except in Las Vegas and Maccau much bigger than that offline because of the ease of access to such platforms and somewhat of pseudo anonymity when you are playing online.

Bayern crashed Werder Bremen at their home while I would consider them a medium team Bayern made them look like really a weak team as they completely dominated the game and scored quite a lot of goals.Honestly I did not expect a such a weak Werder Bremen like the one of yesterday night but after all Bayern is Bayern and they are one of the best teams or better the best team of the Bundesliga and I should not be that surprised with this type of result.

This makes me think now that the rival contenders for the title starting from Dortmund today should win their game if they want to follow closely although based on what happens last year I immediately exclude Dortmund as a title winner this year,psychologically they need time to get over losing the title in the last game of the season and doing so in front of their fans against a much weaker team.
2231  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: August 18, 2023, 06:53:32 PM
I think job scarcity is one of the problem why people gamble to make money, if there are jobs and skills needed, people will do everything in there capacity to earn from there instead of running before 50;50 chances that you may win nothing in the end.

I don’t think so. Maybe on some cases, jobless seek gambling as source of income as alternative for being jobless but most of the time especially 3rd world people doesn’t afford to gamble since they will just use the money to buy food and other things that they needed.

Most of the people that gambling are those who don’t have social life and want to enjoy during their free time. I’m gambling because I’m too lazy to go outside during my dayoff.

That is some kind of boredom you create for yourself,you cannot always win in gambling and if you keep playing in your day off instead of relaxing you can become more tense if you have a bad losing session,this will make your mind in a mood where it won't perform very well in the upcoming week in your work.

I think that most people gamble not because they are jobless or from 3rd world countries where I agree gambling is more heavy and in bigger percentage but because money is never enough as that saying says,so there is always a good reason to gamble to make some more money.

In theory you are right but that only applies to offline dice gambling or coin flip,every one chance is random and they cannot modify the outcome of throwing the dice in the air and when the dice is in the air to do some trick to get their lucky number,this can easily be done with any computer controlled software game as any developer of such game can change things as they see fit and no one will question them.For this reason we have reputable casinos where games go through a huge thorough audit check before being publicly available to the users.

For your game if you are serious you should open an ANN thread for your game,post there why anyone should be playing this game,be as transparent as possible that the game is a provably fair one and little by little you may get audience that some of them may become convert,said in other words users of your site.

Bayern Munchen is a heavy favorite as always in the Bundesliga yet they have a really low odd as the first game of the Bundesliga tonight in the game against Werder Bremen.They are playing away,it is the first game of the league and surprise results are common at such events,I know the quality of Bayern Munchen clearly is a lot more than that of Werder Bremen but I always remember that Koln vs Bayern game of the last season where Bayern could not win and ended in a draw with a lot of difficulties for Bayern to get that draw.For tonight game at 1.29 odd I don't think is worth risking any money on Bayern.

I don't know if you are aware, but Roobet have lunched a "Social Casino" ( roobet.fun/ ) where you can pretend for money prizes by playing slot games for free.. but till theses tree first editions (one each week) you have just to play a definited number of spins by a definited bet amount.. Let's see what the future holds!

That is very nice.I think the first to offer such offering was Pragmatic Play slot provider though as they hold regularly Social Tournaments and in fact I wonder how many people play those type of tournaments,there should be a lot of them in theory as I know a lot of people who can try this while they do their work online as they don't have a physical job.Personally I have never tried out these tournaments as I thought to myself they most likely are just some time wasters and no benefit can come through them but may be I am wrong and people have won money from them.I hope many more casinos follow suit in this regard as this would be a fair offering to anyone,big or small gamblers.

I don't think anyone will be able to catch up with Red Bull including next season. I hope that we see seasons with Hamilton-Verstappen competition much more in the future.

It depends on what FIA will do in the next months, remember the 1st title of Verstappen.

Fia killed the Mercedes advantage cutting the read drag by 30% in a few months.

FIA won't do anything unfortunately until 2026 so most likely we will continue to see the dominance of Redbull but lately we have a good precedent,that of a McLaren performing really well after the team managed to hit the right upgrades to the car within the actual regulations,I think if other teams clearly double or triple up their effort to build a winning car we may still have a remote chance of seeing some team stopping the complete ridiculous Redbull domination which is making the season one of the most boring ever,I think this one is even more boring than 2009 when Brawn GP won races by a huge distance in seconds gap.

A 6-hour flash promotion notification appears on my account and maybe this is the first or indeed freebitcoin has made this a general promotion is given to its users regardless of the activity of the players in this casino. I'm trying to take advantage of this promotion, maybe I will only be able to reach tier one prizes by making a wager of 50,000 Satoshi to get 25 RP and others and 1 Golden Ticket and a golden ticket is my target to have a chance to enter the Lambo Giveaway, prizes on tiers 2 and 3 are more attractive because there is Wof but the amount of wagering is higher in each of these tiers.
My remaining funds here are not much after a few hours ago the FUN price had dropped and I bought several hundred FUN Tokens, so if can reach tier 1 prize that's good.


I just checked my email and I did not have such email notification,the reason is that I almost have gambled 0 amount of my satoshis,I have kept increasing my stash and waiting for the best so yes this email is still linked to at least some wagering requirements.I remember getting it a couple of times in a time where I always used to gamble when there were a RP bonus day x4 or x5 which are the best maximize-rs for increasing side benefit prizes like RP,Lottery tickets weekly and tickets to enter the Lambo draw.

For FUN let me see how much they have dropped in prize and maybe I buy quite some of them as I have some spare amount of satoshis to use for this.

Galatasaray couldn't make a start to the season like they wanted. They wasted so many opportunities against Kayserispor. Their defense seemed vulnerable to dangerous attacks at the same time. They didn't lose at least but they need to improve their effort more from now on.

Their next fixture is a home match against Trabzonspor. Trabzonspor started with a victory. If Galatasaray continue to have the same issues in defense they can't be punished easily. But I saw some progress in the rematch against Ljubljana in the CL qualifiers. Hence I expect Galatasaray to win this match by a small gap.

Galatasaray had a clear objective to move further in the Champions League and for this I am sure they sacrificed the first game of the league and I agree with that.They based on the players they have can also recover as the season is quite long and they have some of the best players there.

Besiktash yesterday showed signs of nervousness despite they winning the game after being down in the first half,Besiktash in fact has clearly stated that their main objective this year is the Turkish Superlig and whatever happens in Europe we won't care much.

On Sunday, Barcelona will welcome Cadiz at the Estadi Olmpic Llus Companys is an exciting match to watch. Cadiz won their first La Liga game of the season, while the blaugrana are yet to pick up a three point on the table, a disappointing draw tie against Getafe, but they strive to get better. It would be a good thing for Barcelona if they were paired with an average club that would weigh less on their strategy, but Xavi Hernandez shouldn't underestimate any club at the moment, and winning his second league game should be his priority at the moment.
Xavi doesn't underestimate any team, that's one fact I've seen from him so far. Xavi is really trying to build his squad well and get the players playing with confidence. He has a good and reliable strategy, but sometimes it doesn't always help him to win matches.

Barcelona failed to win the game against Getafe, but I don't feel the same way Barcelona will feel for their second match against Cadiz. Barcelona have to win the game if they don't want to go too far up the table compared to Real Madrid and a lot of other teams, so they really have to give their all this week. Barcelona are playing at home even if it's not at Camp Nou, so they can be expected in my opinion.

Most likely Barcelona will win this match.I doubt they are in such form that they can't even win against a team like Cadiz and that against Getafe was maybe the players of Barcelona underestimated the game against Getafe,of course something that should never happen when you are playing in such a high level like the La Liga in Spain.

Xavi is a great coach and I am sure the mentality instilled in players is that of a winning one,as they won La Liga last season so most likely as I said some specific players should have been self complacent and that result against Getafe should serve as an eye opener or as people say they should come back with foots on earth and start delivering results starting from this very game of this weekend.

From what I've seen about Haaland's performances for Manchester City in big games is that he doesn't fare well in big games when he plays in them. The same situation that occurred in the Supa Cup matchup against Sevilla, where Haaland made no attempt to score, also transpired in the champions league last season. Is when Manchester City plays against small teams and during games when De Bruyne is there will you find Haaland performing wonders by scoring beautiful goals.
On Saturday, Manchester City is going to play against Newcastle, let's see whether Haaland would make any attempt to score. As for me, he is going to play well in that match because it is going to be a big game.

You are right, Haaland does not play well in big matches. He probably prefers to play in a pressure free manner. Can't play well under extra pressure. We haven't seen a better performance from Haaland in the semi-finals and finals of the Champions League. However, with De Bruyne, Silva and Gundogon in the squad, despite Haaland's lackluster performance, Manchester City's overall performance was very good last season.

Newcastle's match is very important. There are no big star players in the Newcastle team. But the bonding between the players in this team is the strongest of any team in the Premier League. And so, without De Bruyne and Silva, it cannot be said for sure whether Manchester City's performance will be good in this match. I wouldn't be surprised if Newcastle wins this match.

Regardless of how Haaland performed in the Champions League semi-finals and final last season,I think it would be wise to appreciate his goalscoring record. Haaland played 11 matches last season with Manchester City in the Champions League, and he managed to score 12 goals in 11 matches. Don't you think that's great?

After all, Pep Guardiola doesn't play a game strategy around Haaland so we can see all the players who play are involved in attack. Haaland is a target man, but almost anyone can score goals because Pep Guardiola has that scheme in building attacks instead of relying on one player.

That scheme where anyone can score goals shows that the team is solid all round one and does not suffer if a player misses a match,there is no key player in such game play although there are the attackers there who in theory should score more goals than other players,I very much like this philosophy of playing football.

As for Haaland I am pretty confident he will be the top scorer in this upcoming season of the Champions League,he is a goal machine and in a team like Manchester City who usually dominates the games it is only natural for him to have more chances scoring goal than when he was playing for Dortmund for example.
2240  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 18, 2023, 08:52:12 AM
I have found Manchester City's odds for the win against Newcastle quite high interestingly. I don't know why it is like that but I will still be favouring them to win the game. De Bruyne is absent maybe but just because of that they won't be weak in the end.

Newcastle started the season with an amazing victory over Aston Villa you know. But I think their job is going to be pretty difficult in Etihad although they are in great shape. It should be another game which is in Manchester City's control. I just don't expect a big win. The final score might be like 2-0 or 2-1.

I agree.Manchester City looks like have really high odds as of right now at 1.69 as until near the start of the game I have seen the same pattern from all sport bet providers,the odds comes down dramatically before the game starts.It is of no importance or better it is of no big importance if a certain player misses a match no matter how good and indispensable this player is for a team like Manchester City,they are a team which they have 22 super star players and they can substitute him without problems,I am sure the bookies are wrong and we are great to bet on Manchester City,most likely is going to be a winning bet for us.
