Don't know what is @Colorpoll54 name on Bitcointalk, but he simply delivering on 1st round - so far he got right outcomes of all 9 games so far, including 4 exact scores. He have great chance to get right predictions of all 10 games, it happens very rarely in EPL.

OK, so today, just watched my first game -- and I guess we're all going to have to get used to all that extra time. 10+ minutes for the first half unheard of, but personally, I think it's great if it reduces time-wasting and simulation. I would prefer if teams who did it were punished by refs to give that extra time only if the opponent needs it (and if the team guilty is losing, they blow regular).

It seems excessive at the moment. 20+ mins per game mean almost 15 extra "matches" over the season!
I expressed my opinion in other thread and I don't really like new regulations. I understand that this is how things should be handled with wasted time, but it makes games a bit too long for me. As you said, with 20 minutes added per game, clubs will get quite a lot ''full games'' in whole season. I doubt they're happy about it when they already have such intensive calendar. I think that risk of injuries can increase too.
I like that added time and especially giving the cards for complaints. This way there isn't that much time wasting and those guys that always complain should get used to beeing booked all the time. Yes, games are longer but we also have 5 subs which should help with fatigue.

I had a nice round and thought I have a chance for yellow cap but than I saw the monster result Colorpoli made.

I saw that 21 points too.That is massive points for a single round with ten games and the beauty of it is that it is not over yet.Maybe he has played a lot of draws and if this is his playing style overall he will lose points and positions  Grin.He got a lot of points yesterday so most probably he had played the draws in those games of yesterday which few people predicted seeing how the ranking updated from Saturday to yesterday.It is just the first week though but yeah that guy set a new record for 10 games weeks even if he does not get any point in tonight game.
2282  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: August 14, 2023, 06:18:16 AM
For a moment I forgot that this season Napoli is under a different coach than last season. Rudi Garcia as Napoli coach this season will certainly have a different strategy. Last season Spalletti managed to bring Napoli to the top of the standings perfectly. So it will also be extraordinary that Rudi Garcia can also bring Napoli to the top of the standings this season.

Doubts arise about Napoli's ability to defend the title because almost no club other than Juventus, Inter Milan or AC Milan can win Serie A in a row, other clubs besides the 3 above can only win once and after that it takes a very long time to be able to return to being champions, and also that their coach change occurred when the team won the championship will make it doubtful whether the new coach is able to bring this club back to being champions even though the Napoli coach change was due to Spalletti's own decisions and rumors due to an unapproved salary increase request. However, it is possible that Napoli will still perform brilliantly because even though some of their players have moved, they have also managed to bring in new players.

True, looking at the history of the last few seasons none of the Serie A clubs have done back to back because they always failed to win the championship after they got the scudetto in the previous season so in this case it will raise skepticism for Napoli and that I think is quite natural.

But of course this will only be speculation because the proof is still not happening considering Serie A will start in a few days.
It will be interesting to see if there are some clubs back in the mix eventually because this season the fight seems to be gone and Napoli can comfortably cruise to the Scudetto.

It will be difficult this year for Napoli to win the title.The other teams have improved quite a lot and there will definitely not be a cruise to the title for Napoli,in fact I believe it will be extremely difficult for them to repeat the title,last year everything went smoothly but thanks in big part to other big teams screwing it up one more than the other.This upcoming season which starts just this weekend I think these other big teams like Inter,Milan,Juventus,Lazio and Roma are in much better shape than they were last year so it will be an intense season for sure.

I don't need to check my wallet at all as I keep only coins listed in top 20 to top 100 in Coinmarkecap website and I only check that website,I have it as an app in my mobile phone and check it once or twice a day to see what is happening with my coins.Actually nothing it is happening with my coins as I keep pretty stable coins as these type of coins reside in top 100 of that list.

For people who hold those shitcoins they need to do a daily check yeah as the increase from such coin is much more than 100% when these coins do pretty well in some exchange that apparently starts accepting them for trading.

Who doesn't but that may sound more like a wish rather than a belief.I know many people still trust in Doge to go up a lot in the next bull run but these guys seem more realistic with their prediction from 1 dollar to 1.5 or 1.8 dollar max per coin which would be a huge increase and I am sure the people who have hodled long enough will make a fortune.Unfortunately from what I assume by asking people around me is that nobody anymore hold a big amount of Doge-s and most people have exchanged in favor of other coins or sold completely,I personally believe they have done the wrong thing but the next bull run will tell us for sure  Grin.

<snip>
I don't think keeping your gambling habit a secret is common. Is your argument based on personal experience? While it's possible that some people do this, I believe it's rare and unusual. Consider a study shared here previously: men tend to gamble to enhance their image in society. Therefore, based on this, we can initially assume that fewer people keep it a secret compared to those who want others to know they are gambling.

The thing is that only when men achieve a certain success they can then show unafraid of consequences that they do gamble and show that publicly.I know a lot of men though,who happen to be my colleagues and I know they gamble but I am only one of the few people who know as we gamble together yet in society they never show it,they don't go to big casinos in the city and they prefer to play online,we sometimes share our sport bet ideas.In most cases when people are not successful there is nothing to show off and they keep their gambling habit as a secret.
2286  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Wagering - share your opinion on: August 13, 2023, 07:59:36 PM
I think when an account is created on a casino platform, he may not be given any bonus by the casino. But when a person deposits money on the casino platform and when placing a bet, if that bet goes, does he get a bonus from the casino? It is often seen that those who bet more money are given a lot of bonuses or spins if they make a big bet. When an account goes to VIP level it gives a bonus to those VIP accounts, but when a new account wins a bet, why doesn't it give a bonus or Spain to those accounts?

I think the casino intentionally does not give a big bonus when normal accounts win these bets and wager a lot as they are already increasing their VIP level and the more they play the faster they will come to the next level of rewards.However this is not true in all casinos,as far as I know in Stake they give the monthly bonus even to non VIP-s recently while the weekly bonus is only to VIP accounts.So even when the new standard account is winning it means that they most probably will playing more and wagering more which in turn will result in them getting faster to the first VIP level and from there on to enjoy the rewards.

Real Madrid have been struck by 2 injury news lately. First Courtois and now Militao. There is Arda Guler also of course but I'm pointing out the starting eleven players here.

Courtois' alternative is going to be Kepa. But we don't have any idea about who Militao's alternative will be. Because his injury situation is fresh news as it happened in the game against Athletic Bilbao. A rich team like Real Madrid shouldn't have problem on spending a good amount to sign a decent defender. But they had better act quicker not only for the La Liga but also for the Champions League.

In the Champions League Real Madrid's prestige level is really high so they always need to be ready for this tournament to continue being one of the biggest title contenders.

It's a shame that so many of Real Madrid key players have been injured recently, at least at the same time. This will make the rotation of players not optimal because perhaps, the replacement players also do not have the quality to be able to play regularly. Therefore, it is indeed time for Real Madrid to buy some other players, of course, with the aim of preparing for cases like this. At least this moment, there is still enough time for Real Madrid to bring ina few more players, because the transfer window has not yet been closed, of course, to support the performance remains good also in the Champion League later.

It will be very difficult for Real Madrid with the base players they have right now to have a go at the Champions League title this upcoming season,in fact I believe they will be eliminated quite early in there if they don't improve in a substantial way the team.They need a player like Mbappe,the drama is real one day confirming he will be playing to Real and just 10 hours before saying he will not leave PSG.There is still time for this to be finalized and this move will close in the huge gap in midfield/attack that Real Madrid find themselves in right now,as I said without such big transfers I think they will be eliminated early this season.

It was an obvious choice, Son was the second best player (one could argue he was the best) on that team and has been with them for many many years, which means that after Kane left, he was the one that deserved it the most without a doubt.

I still think Spurs should have sold Son as well, like blow up the whole team and build from start, getting 100+ million for Kane means they could get at least 70 million for Son as well, maybe more who knows. That way they could have gotten some younger great players and not just one or two, they could have done like 4 or even 5 depending on how much money they would make. That would have made them quite strong. In any case, they now lack the top scorer, but have money to buy someone else.

They have a great striker like Richarlison to substitute Kane and for me this striker has all the possibilities to become Tottenham top player and top scorer.They still have time to invest in a new or a couple of young players from the money they got from Kane as it was evident in today game that they lacked the performance of last year.A team like that will need to improve as they need to perform better than they did in today game.Brentford is a strong team but not a team that can stop Tottenham based on the quality of individual players of each team,also Tottenham has not a really great coach right now so this maybe a problem too.

That is stupid from Nicehash,I have switched back to mining with lolminer trying ETC+ZIL while before I had been mining Bitcoin with Nicehash but no thank you,KYC I only have in a super trusted casino and only level two there because I keep playing almost every day there.

There was such service before called Winminer and it was better in my honest opinion there as they offered payouts in several coins and I never have understood why they got away,they were making money but suddenly they put a post that the service will be no longer available without reason.

I got exactly 0 points today as I had a Liverpool win and Tottenham win.While for the Tottenham draw is not something to be surprised,the fact that Liverpool drew against Chelsea is not also a big surprise,the real surprise was the complete dominance of the game from Chelsea where we could see the hand of Pochettino in action and based on that I can say that this Chelsea can go a long way this season.I am pretty confident that they will be playing in Europe next season be it in Champions League or a bare minimum in the Europa Conference League.

First week I was third yesterday night,if I check the result now I should be several position down nevertheless I am happy with my overall results so far.
2291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: August 13, 2023, 05:30:48 PM
Chelsea are in the process of changing their shell this year, their last matches have been very barren in terms of goals. Liverpool also has a changeable structure this season, we were likely to watch an entertaining match and it is. The result will be very important especially for chelsea.
Chelsea have been able to play well in this game and even look like the most threatening team. The have also defended very well and have been able to stop Mo' Salah from his scoring record of scoring in every first game of the season for the past couple of seasons. This looks like a game that will end with in a draw, and both teams will share the points. Chelsea have improved this season from what I can see and had Nkunku been in the game, Chelsea would've had the better advantage in front. Chelsea can improve from this performance, like Liverpool.

Looking at the stats I see Chelsea dominating the game and it is because of Liverpool goalkeeper who have kept them in the game so far in late additional time as the result is still 1-1 while the goalkeeper of Liverpool made 3 good saves.The goalkeeper of Chelsea made none so far.I can clearly see the hand of Pochettino here and Chelsea looks very promising,most likely this time they will end in an European competition,I don't know if it will be in the top 4 which would an awesome achievement but most likely they will be in Europa Conference league for real this time.Game just finished 1-1 with Chelsea clear dominance,65-35% ball possession.
2292  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 13, 2023, 05:13:24 PM
Counseling is the best option here, if you’re already addict you already need professional advice and of course a big support from your family. Being addict can cause a lot of depression, stress and anxiety especially if you are losing money. Getting away on any platform with regards to gambling can help but I see this as an temporary solution, if you really want to recover then start looking for help.

Some people get addicted but don't realise it, and at such it becomes very difficult for them to stop their addiction. Even if they get a professional counsellor to advise them, they still don't get over their compulsive gambling habit until their minds are made up about stopping it. I have seen some cases where a gambler has received all sorts of advice from his family relatives to stop gambling, but rather than stopping, this guy became worse for the fact that he never even accepted that he has an addiction. Although your suggested approach can work for someone who realises that what they are doing is a bad habit.
Majority of the gamblers don't accept it. They just say, they've got control over their gambling activities and able to take a break or stop completely when required. These are mere words and in reality they don't have better control. Most of the time gamblers get into addiction on two reasons, one when they loss and trying to recover it back. Other when they win and they want the same to continue. Person who is able to take a break amidst the win/loss is the one with best control.

That is right.The problem with most gamblers is that they get addicted while playing slot machines or games with instant wins possible.Rarely I have seen people becoming addicted to sport betting,sure there are some of them who can't stay without gambling and once they win immediately place all the money in other bets yet they are very few compared to people who become addicted by playing these games where possible max win is instant.

No one accepts it of course but the people who do start by doing something else,I personally don't gamble a lot anymore,max 5-10 dollars and the other money I invest in cryptocurrencies now,never been better mentally than now.

You are really lucky to get those big bonuses and wins. And now you are just waiting for information from Bitcasino representatives. And as one of the reputable casino sites in this forum, they are sure to process and sort things out.

Perhaps as said by other friends, verify your account before they continue withdrawing money, and if you don't do what they suspect, they will solve everything. Congrats on your big win.

Exactly.Big casinos can pay whatever amount you win as long as you have nothing to hide which from what you are describing here it appears to be so.The big casinos do not care for that amount,for us gambler near 100.000 dollars may be a very big amount but for the big casinos that amount is completely irrelevant compared to what they profit in the long run.

So congrats for your win,be patient and do the KYC which most likely will need to be done an happily receive the payout.Do not keep playing while you wait for your payout as this may result in losing all the money and is a technique most casinos do to delay the payment so the gamblers can keep playing risking to lose it all.

Tottenham did not start as expected, earning just one point after a draw. Tottenham starts the new season with a trip to the home field of Brentford. In the first match as captain, Son Heung Min became a "criminal" with a foul that made Tottenham suffer a penalty in the 27th minute. Tottenham's lines still need sharpness and an effective striker like Kane. Striker Richarlison often creates disturbances for the opponent's defense but needs to be more sensitive when he can score goals. This will cause Postecoglou to have a headache when the team no longer has a legendary scorer.

Tottenham will have to learn to live without Harry Kane after years of depending on the striker's goals.

Tottenham I must say played well in this game as they were playing against strong opponents today,Brentford when playing at home is a great team which usually deliver good results.Richarlison is also a great scorer and I think he is as good as Kane in the scoring goals comparison.That penalty made the game more open and after that Brentford even turned the game around and were most probably closer to winning this game.I am sure Tottenham will improve in the coming weeks but I see very difficult for them to achieve the top 4 spots during this season.

there's a name for this cognitive bias if I'm not wrong
confirmation bias or something like that, not sure in english

it's like sharing only the ups and not the downs what don't allow someone to have a clear picture of the situation.

always best to try to see all aspects of reality instead of only part of it.

Yes, it's called Survivorship Bias, basically you only get to hear from the successful attempts to do something. Most fails, you basically never get to hear from.

For me it is the first time I hear it.The problem is that most of the time I have been always blaming and yelling in specific slot threads that I kept losing money lately but most recently I have not been publishing my loses so does this mean I am one of this people having this syndrome?I don't care even if I am but I have found out that it is better to not post about your loses as nothing will improve while if you stay silent and only post your winnings maybe the false sense of illusion that you are winning is why most people do not post their loses and they are part of this syndrome.
2296  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: This is not Practical on: August 12, 2023, 10:50:46 AM
If you're not allocating your money, that's how you'll think.

But do not forget that we're different in terms of how we handle our money. You put a budget in buying foods and necessities, bills, mortgage and everything.

While gamblers do allocate a budget for spending in the casino and that's the money that they can afford to lose. It may sound impractical but that's how usually it goes.

As far as here nothing is impractical.The real problems are the gamblers who cannot accepts that easily that they lost all their allocated money in that specific gambling session and as such they deposit more in order to try and recover the lost amount,which we all know that rarely this is the case and normally the new deposit creates further problems rather than solving the first one.

We are forced to pay the bills,necessities,rent and all this,we don't have a choice here unless we want to starve if we use that money for gambling,the real problem starts with excess money that for me is the root of all the gambling problems.

Probably the most interesting match for me will be Newcastle vs Aston Villa... Their last meeting at Newcastle ended 3-3... At the end of last season Villa started to play very well... But Newcastle usually don't lose at home... I don't know what will happen today, but I think a Newcastle win at odds of 1.7 is a very good bet... I don't think Villa can play well today...

Villa has been on an awesome form in the friendlies by winning many of those matches no matter that most of those games were against much weaker teams than Newcastle.This should show us to bet with caution as I don't think it will be an easy win for Newcastle despite me predicting a 2-1 win for them today.The odd of 1.7 is a low one for Newcastle considering that this is the first game of the new season normally the odd should have been at 1.90 as a bare minimum and even 2 would be a nice one,in the first game of the season no one has enough data and info to judge if the odd is good or bad,for me is not good,it is in the low side.
2298  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you gamble because you don't have sufficient money? on: August 12, 2023, 09:39:49 AM
I think there are more people in the lower class and middle class compared to the really rich, because most of the people in the lower class are unemployed, and the majority of them also rely on easy and quick earnings and what they think of this card is gambling.

and those in the middle class also follow that somehow, because most of the rich people value money and to maintain it they build more businesses that can produce money.

Being in the lower class and hoping to win big one day is totally normal in my opinion. Some people can't live happily without that hope. And, in the lower class or not, you have the right to be happy. To satisfy that need you don't have to risk a lot of money. Buy a dollar lottery ticket once per month and hope for the best. But don't play in casinos thinking that a "winning strategy" will make you rich. Definitely don't rely on that.

I used to do this lately as I had a lot of unpredictable spending for myself and my family,weddings,deaths,vacations and so I needed at least triple the amount of my salary to fit this in,I took some crypto to satisfy the needs but then some of these crypto I thought to double it in sport bets and slots and lost several of that amount.I learned my lesson though,you always lose when you want to make some extra money or to add some money to your existing balance for your needs so I don't advice to anyone doing it.I solved my problem by getting more crypto from my savings and damn,gambling I will never try again with this type of money.

Looks like Sevilla has started this season with a completely wrong foot,the same as last year where they barely saved relegation in the last weeks of the season.I remember now another game in those last weeks which was Valencia vs Sevilla,a game that Sevilla won in the home of Valencia despite being a weak team back then and now the first week of this new season they lose at home against Valencia,this is clearly a not so good indicator regarding Sevilla performance while for Valencia it is an awesome start to the season.

Nice vs Lille game yesterday ended with a 1-1 draw which in theory favors somewhat Lille in the long run as whenever a team gets points away from home against relatively strong teams which Nice these last years is considered one it may be beneficial to them.The fact that they got in the last minute of the game makes this point even more precious than if they got it normally in the game before last minutes drama.

Nice showed once again that despite scoring early they are not capable of keeping results,the same happened last year with them and I don't think they will have a much better performance this year.
