Just got the invite from hilarious and joined, I chose Luton Town as my team since I don't really support anyone in EPL (but you can say I'm a bit anti Man City).

Now I read Gvardiol going to city. Great guy, but I wish these guys don't end up at City, hard for me to enjoy them knowing thhey have the best players surrounding them.

I see loads of you guys going for sidebets, prize from pool not enough?

The prize of the pool is more than enough and in fact is the pool that has the highest prize and this was the case for the several years that this pool has been going on.Last year I won double the entry fee 0.005 but I consider the last season as a "complete failure" to me as I was holding a position to win 0.011 Bitcoin for several of the last weeks and I only lost the position in the last week,which was really bad luck last season for me,nevertheless I got back more than I gave so it was a good season overall.

The problem is that side bets are good for people as no one is guaranteed to end in a winning positions and side bets are easy to make and win.

Hey y'all...Seriously, I've been having this running through my mind.. maybe it's been discussed but this is on a diverse objective.
Why is it that we tend to have alot of men inclined and addicted to gambling than women? Is there any mystery guiding that?
I mean, You ain't gonna telme that everyone isn't roofed by this economic crises - both gender to speak of - so what's so special about men gambling?? Alot of cases has been reported several times too - and y'all end up realizing that MEN are usually involved in very many critical cases... What's that validating? That men are really taking the whole thing personal??

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

For me this can be because men want to do better and provide better things to their family in the first place,they just don't go randomly to the casino be it offline or online without any clear objective in mind.Men also are not as much afraid as women are in this topic as they think that they will still recover even if they realize a miserable failure by losing everything in the casino.

If a woman loses everything,she is more emotional than a man as a person and the consequences of lost sessions,especially big ones affect a woman more than affects a man and as such I think this to be the main reason why men are more addicted to gambling than women.

According to some recent rumors, in this summer break, Charles and Ferrari will talk about his contract.

He may renew his contract, currently expiring at the end of 2024, while Sainz will probably leave for AUDI.

I don't think that would be a good move for Charles to renew with Ferrari after so many failures from both him as a driver and his errors which honestly are quite a few compared to the horrendous errors that Ferrari has made against him in the pit or race strategies.I think he would be better thinking of joining Mercedes to have a chance when Hamilton leaves rather than settling with Ferrari,of course I can understand that when no other options are available then his only choice is to renew with them and hope for the better.
2404  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: My new favorite betting method. on: August 03, 2023, 06:44:39 AM
It is just a Martingale with extremely low amount and we already know here by many times that Martingale is destined to fail because of two things we miss: first is the infinite bankroll that we don't have and in computer software controlled games you can have even 100 losing rolls and this would not be surprising and second the casinos already know about Martingale and they have put limits in place to hold people from using this method.

So if you are playing with an extremely low starting bankroll does not mean that until you reach from 2 satoshi to 100.000 satoshi that you will be a winner.
2405  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Possible measures to stop online gambling addiction. on: August 03, 2023, 06:18:45 AM
The only way to solve gambling addiction is to start learning self control.This cannot be learned in a short amount of time,you need to be tested and tested again on your budget and gambling and how do you spend it or how much do you continue,if you start gradually slowing down your spending and time spent on gambling then this is a very good indicator that you are doing well into achieving some sort of self control which with the passing of time will only become better.

Not seeing only ads and blocking sites through DNS or other IT means will not work as long as you think about gambling constantly.

This kind of illustration can be said of a gambler's motivational mindset that he should know if he is in a category. The question is, what do those who enter a casino think, just to play or have fun?
Because other communities here say it is just for a moment's problem, is this a real question? Because we admit it or not the majority of the Crypto Gamblinh players are still hoping to win or get the jackpot somehow.

That is the truth nowadays.People do not enter casinos to have fun except a few cases which consist of less than 0.01% of the total gamblers who enter the casino.This happens simply because nowadays majority of us have a really busy life and have got not much time to lose and as such we enter the casino,be it online or offline with the clear intention of hitting that jackpot or the max win payout in certain slot machines.This cannot change in our time as I said because people have got not much free time to just having some fun in the casinos.
2407  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do wager affect outcomes in any provably fair games on: August 02, 2023, 08:25:02 AM
I noticed that when I start to play games like keno, limbo, dice, etc. First some bets don't hit and after wagering some percentage of my balance it starts to hit,
How it works? like when we wager we have more probability to hit win, anyone noticed this? Do you know how it works and what is the calculation behind it?, do server sends outcomes by checking our wager?

No it is not like that.I have played Plinko a lot of times and 90% are missed hits or they give a very low amount while only in 10% of my bets I have hit x470 and x1000 which is the best possible option.The wagering means nothing,maybe I have seen the same pattern in the Stake originals more precisely on Tome of Life slot as there after a certain buy bonuses gone wrong usually gives a couple with great multipliers,not the best but x270 to x700.So the wagering for me has nothing to do in all the games,maybe in some specific ones but also I am not sure about this.

I just wanted to say that the side bet of last year between me and CLS63 has been fulfilled by him by sending the 0.001 Bitcoin to me as we have bet on Arsenal or Manchester to be above each other and I choose Arsenal in that bet.

Here is tx from him to me as I want to be transparent that he is a good guy and fulfills his duty.

2409  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Legality of Online Gambling in Different Countries on: August 02, 2023, 06:14:14 AM

The above states have different tax laws, meaning you will pay a different tax if you bet in Kansas than if you bet in Michigan. If you decide to wager in any of the above states, make sure you know how much taxes you will pay.

Also, some states allow in person betting but not online, which is why a state like Washington isn’t on the list. It’s not clear if Washington is allowing online gambling, which is another issue.

Because the gambling laws in each state are different, it’s difficult to know the exact laws for each state.
The easiest way for gamblers to familiarize themselves with the tax laws of these states is to read the terms of services of these casinos. This document should be able to contain some information about the tax policy of the state and how it applies to the casino. In my country, the tax laws are made by the central government, so that law is almost similar in all states.


Nations that have allowed offshore online gambling for more than a decade
Belize
Curacao
Panama
Antigua & Barbuda
Costa Rica
If you’ve gambled online before, there’s a good chance you’ve bet in a sportsbook or online casino that has a license from one of the above nations.

All nations listed above have good reputations for providing licenses to legit sportsbooks and online casinos. Costa Rica, especially, has licensed legitimate online sportsbooks and casinos.

Read more→ https://n2g.io/2e9f4d5
Many reputable casinos are registered in one or more of the above-mentioned countries because of their flexibility. To get a license in some countries is very expensive and the procedures are complex and marred by bureaucratic bottlenecks. Without these nations, many upcoming casinos with low budgets wouldn't have seen the light of day. But the flexibility of these nations' registration process has also given rise to some unreliable casinos that engage in some unwholesome business practices.

That is the reason most casinos have licenses in Curacao or British Virgin Island as it is very easy to get such licenses in these countries and in fact such countries even encourage getting a license not only for casinos but also other online businesses.

The online gambling is allowed in most western developed countries but the problem in these countries is that they ask a lot of things before hand in order to somewhat protect their citizens and similar problems,beside being extremely expensive compared with those other countries.

Edit:
And are you seriously calling for mass targeted killing of civilians at a huge scale towards the end there?
Don't waste your time on this character, this is a walking collection of propaganda clichés. A typical Ukrainian neo-Nazi, with every statement he makes an aggressive anti-advertisement to the Zelensky regime. The only benefit of his statements is that it becomes clear why Ukraine needs denazification.

You enjoying the new drones that I predicted to hit Moscow just one day ago and today it was the truth.Russia how funny they are,one of their generals said some time before that hardly any sky is shielded more than that of Moscow yet drones are hitting the financial district,Russia is incapable of protecting their own citizens and the so called elite which work in that institution that was hit.Ukraine never forget any war crimes Russia has made and will make them pay as Zelensky says it is only a natural process that the war will be felt inside Russia,inside Moscow.I am waiting for more strikes and devastation against a country which started a war out of nowhere and this is the end of malevolent countries.
I'm trying to find any military reason for these drone attacks on the business center, but unfortunately I can't. And a repeated strike on the same building in Moscow City refutes the version of the Russian Defense Ministry that the first drone was suppressed by electronic warfare, these were targeted Ukrainian attacks on a skyscraper in Moscow, in which there are no military facilities. Simply put, this is pure terrorist attack.

I understand why Ukraine resorts to terrorist tactics - because its counter-offensive is failing. I understand, but I don't condone it. It is impossible to defend democratic values by terrorist methods. Soon even its most zealous supporters in the West will turn their backs on Ukraine, because support for Ukraine already smells very shitty.

No.It is because Russia continuously strikes civilian targets not later than yesterday killing an 10 year old girl.This is a response to Russian terror and it is only natural that Russia feels the same what Ukrainians are feeling because of Russian barbarism.The Russians claim they hit no civilian targets yet today they hit a dormitory in Kharkiv,luckily without dead persons.Russian have killed children,have made mass graves and systematically hit civilian targets in Ukrainian cities so it is only a natural response and what I find the most funny is terrorists (Russia are the true ones starting a war out of nowhere and killing civilians as a sign of desperation in the battlefield,stalled invasion) are calling the victim who tries to defend a terrorist  Grin.

@Branko , the US clearly has ask for forgiveness although it is not worthy after the damage they have done yet they have spend billions in help rebuilding Iraq after then,not justifying them,it was a mistake and they ask for forgiveness.

Do you think it will be ok to order a batch of video cards from China for mining ?

Yes it is OK as China is anyway the main producer of them which then ships them to Europe,US and every other continent.The labor is done mainly in China because there is the biggest technological hub for producing such products,also in Taiwan there are a lot of PCB (Printed Circuit Boards) being produced.

If it is OK to mine or not I don't know as mining is at a big loss right now so it may not be the best moment to start mining but if you are convinced you wanna do it then go ahead and do it.

Anyway, Dutch GP next.  Verstappen at 1.25.  Lol.  I feel like something unexpected is gonna happen.  Grin

I am afraid you are going to wait some time as the Dutch GP is not near at all,it is after the holidays on 26 August and there is plenty of time until then  Grin.I don't see any unexpected thing to happen here as he will be racing in front of the home fans,I doubt anyone else will be able to challenge him for the pole position which would in turn be an easy race win just like he did last time around.

The only thing stopping him this year are mechanical failures yet we have to see one as Redbull beside being super fast is also super reliable so that 1.25 may be a really big amount of odd seen from this perspective  Grin.

Yup, good thing the EPL will be starting the next weekend after the coming one.  Wink  I haven't really been following a lot of football a lot as of late but with how boring F1 really has been going, I could get back into the EPL again.  It could be an interesting season with City being City, Poch at Chelsea and Klopp go try to get Liverpool back on track.  There's also Arteta and the Gunners and the dark horse with Eddie Howe and his boys at Newcastle United. 

United will end 6th or lower at the table.  Lmaooo.

For me though August is the most boring month considering there will be no races or just on race in the last weekend of it but I also know that drivers need to get their holidays done and August is the best month,I go on holidays too in the last 2 weeks of August.

For football is great that is coming back but the initial games I think we will see a lot of surprise which is always the case in the Premier League,I agree though Newcastle is truly the dark horse of the Premier League and I expect them this year to be fighting for the top spot.

AC Milan will playing against Barcelona tomorrow that both teams haven't gets satisfied results during pre season matches that Milan have already lost from Real Madrid and draw from Juventus but Barcelona was slightly better of we compared to Milan because after lost from Arsenal Barcelona can gets win with big scores at El Classico against Real Madrid

According to the odds the bookie placed Barcelona as the favourite with odds @1.84 and AC Milan as the underdog with odds @3.55 but if we see from head to head statistics both teams has been met once on 2018 at that time AC Milan can able to beat Barcelona with slim score 1-0 and indeed Barcelona recent performance looks very impressive that they had showed good progress by humiliated Real Madrid and for this match too probably Barcelona win could be good pick and @1.84 is decent odds

It is not 2018 anymore and Barcelona has improved their team a lot and honestly I think that odd is really big for Barcelona in this game as I know what transfer Milan has made,I would give a Barcelona here a maximum of 1.60 odd as I know chances are really high for Barcelona to win and the bookies are trying to deceive us with such odds.

Milan will also play in the first "Trofeo Berlusconi" on August 8 against Monza in honor of the legendary president who passed away recently and these games will serve to Milan and the management to see if they need to improve the team further or if they are happy with the results.

I've only heard of streamers like Corinna Kopf and Adin Ross because of the drama they are always involved in. I didn't even know Kopf was a gambling streamer. I just thought she was another OnlyFans girl like Amouranth, who isn't particularly talented, but still gets viewers due to her looks. I honestly have no interest in watching these kind of people with trashy content.

OnlyFans isn't that the adult website or I am mistaken.If it is like that then these are two separate things,people who stream gambling usually don't do the other things people do in OnlyFans.I think these streamers though are a massive evil source for us poor gamblers as we keep seeing them playing with money in most cases pumped by the casinos they are promoting and they are recording for several several hours while we only see the successful events and think to ourselves now is the time I hit such big win only to be disappointed,so for me this service should be stopped and banned from popular channels like Youtube.
2416  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling experience using loan money on: August 01, 2023, 09:19:32 AM
I am not really a fan of loaning, even though i really need a money or there is something I wanna buy, I wont borrow money for it but instead i will save money and wait until I have enough money to afford that thing, what more if you are going to gamble the money that you have borrowed, this is is really a dumb thing that people doing especially those addict, and I think people with good and normal thinking wont do that thing, online those gambling addict will do.
The worst part of this is whether you lose or win you still have to pay the money with interest and that makes it more problematic especially if you lose.
Gambling addict don't think this way, you are talking like this because you understand the risks, many gambling addicts don't think or understand the risk  and they can go to any lengths to take a bet because all what they will be taking in their mind is they're going to win,  if a gambler sets his mind on the winning side only he is at risk of losing everything and such Gambler may turn into an irresponsible gambler because no matter how good your calculation is you must always think about the other part, every good things have its disadvantages so do not think about the positive side only think about the negative side too and always prepare for both sides.

That is true for gambling addicts and even people who borrow money to play as that is an aggressive form of addiction in my opinion.However a gambler cannot think otherwise as if he goes and places a bet with the losing mentality that he will not get a win he would not gamble at all in the beginning,it is exactly because of this that hope is at the highest level before placing a bet in a gambler mindset and it is true that they don't think about the consequences.If they thought about them they would sit down and think calmly which would lead them to quit gambling for good.The real bad moment is when he realizes that now he has even lost a borrowed amount and his debt has increased further,depends on what he does on this moment that decides his fate,if he quits good for him (at least quits borrowing money) and if he continues bad for him.

What makes it an even more boring race than it was is the fact that Max passed his team mate Perez like he was driving a really slow car and not the fastest car on the grid.I am extremely surprised at how little resistance Perez put in to Verstappen while both of these guys are racing the same car,I know that it was the DRS enabled that made Max pass but it was also of the slow drive from Perez and also a slower,much slower pit stop from Redbull crew to Perez who made him not create a real distance to Verstappen.This happening shows that Perez is a completely mediocre driver and most likely he will be replaced when the time comes.
I think DRS and ERS makes that difference. A car could do lets say about 320 km per hour on a straight without any of them, and can do as high as 350 with both of them open. That difference makes anyone pass anyone. For example, if Max was driving ahead, with both DRS and ERS closed, and then Perez was coming from behind, with both DRS and ERS opened, then he would have nearly 20-30 km faster car as well.

You can't just look at it like "they both have the same car, why did Max passed him so easily", sure one of them will look like it's slower when it's the same car, because one of them is using those two features, and that makes the car go faster. This is why Max was able to pass Perez so easily and get the position. It's the fact that he didn't give it back that is great.

Let's assume you are right.Then why when Perez is ahead usually he is gotten by Verstappen and when Verstappen is ahead Perez does not even try,that shows a huge difference between the drivers mentality and shows that Verstappen is hungry to win while Perez is on that mentality if I get this win great for me and if I don't who cares,the difference is clear and I am not talking about only the moment of overtaking,before that moment there were a 3.2 seconds distance which was closed without DRS or ERS in just two laps and that says a lot about the difference between the drivers of Redbull team.
2418  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: August 01, 2023, 07:39:08 AM
Considering the experience and tactical ability of Pep Guardiola and the current squad of Manchester City, I think the club wouldn't feel any significant effect about the players that's left the club this summer transfer window.
IIkay Gundogan after his departure was immidiately replaced by Mateo Kovacic while Riyad Mahrez who's yet to be replaced wasn't a regular starter last season. The transfer window is still open which means that City can still sign few more players before the end of the transfer window. But even if they fail to make any more signing, City will still perform well in Europe
Manchester City is set to confront fresh challenges after winning the UEFA Champions League title; they are the current reigning Champions and widely regarded as the best club in the world. Pep Guardiola does not appear concerned about his departing players; perhaps he has a backup substitute for every key player at the club. Chelsea's Kovacic will take over for Ilkay Gundogan. Manchester City's performance would be smoother than ever before, thanks to Pep's relentless work on the club's anticipated performance, always ready to take things to the next level.


As long as the players substituting the departing ones are of the same league and they can find themselves harmonizing well with the team then it is only natural for Guardiola to not be concerned.It is very difficult to win the UEFA Champions League twice in a  row so even for a team like Manchester City who could easily beat anyone last season it will not be the same and it will not be easy at all to repeat their glorious 2022/2023 season.The other teams though so far have not done much in the player transfers during the summer so I don't expect them to have an easy win in the Champions,mainly I am referring to Real and Barcelona here.
2419  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 on: August 01, 2023, 06:54:30 AM
WOW! Japan women performed greatly in the game between them and Spain women. I have not seen women football team has done what Japan women did to Spain. According to the commentator, Japan has not loss any the matches they have played so far. That is they have not received any goal in their net. Football is a game luck as some said it but I also believe on their skills as well. When a team play well with their skills then goal is sure but if there is no luck them that day, even with their skills they can still loss. So luck is part the game. So what am I saying, Japan women players have the skills and also have the luck to win all their matches.the second Team I am also supporting is Nigerian women team, they are paying in the tournament. I will like to see Japan women and Nigerian women to play the final.
Football is definitely not a game of luck. Footballers train their whole lives for this and it is an insult to their career to call their winning against their opponents luck. No my friend this is not luck. It was a matter of may the best side win and the Japanese team was appeared to be a strong team, dominating and adapting well against different oppositions. Despite the Spainards having possessions of the ball for most part of the match, they failed to find the back of the Japanese next because their defense was strong. The Japanese team was able to have a clean sheet in this game as well as in their previous matches because they have displayed incredible accuracy and proficiency in their counter-attacks.

That may be random,luck is needed always as they say the ball is round and sometimes goes easily into goal even against the strongest team and defenses and sometime fails to do so to even go in goal against very weak defenses and this is called bad luck.Of course with discipline which the Japanese have a lot it can change the outcome of a game like they did in these games but over time it won't work well as like I said the ball is round and no matter how good of a defense you have it will pass through.I never thought Japanese team to be doing this good against stronger sides like Spain but they showed it once again that sometimes with the right mindset and discipline you get what you want.

Have you tried Power of Merlin megaways from pragmatic? Honestly I tried this game because of the "Merlin" since I was a fan of Rise of Merlin from Play'n Go. Tried this game with normal spins (200 spins) but hit nothing big, tried buy bonus 4 times and here is the best result:



This game has max win of 40,000x, I'm not sure how much will be my final result if there is a merlin symbol in the first reel on the last spin. It must be huge Smiley, unfortunately the bigger luck was not coming but at least it is a nice win already with more than 3,000x. FYI the buy bonus cost is more expensive than most other pragmatic games because it is 150x of the base bet.

Where do you guys find this awesome luck and you call it not a big one  Grin,I know compared to x40000 the x3000 feels little but I have quit slots almost 1 month and more now and the reason was simple,every time I played a slot the worse of the worse type of luck kept hitting me,losing everything despite playing for a lot of time and as such I thought to myself I had enough of this shit and stopped playing.My best ever decision although when I see you guys here posting your big wins I must accept that I am super envious of you guys  Grin.
