Was an easy call to the podium for Perez, their car is just insane and in this track with 3 DRS (while DRS is the strongest point of RBR) was quite easy to achieve.

Ferrari its probably now the second team in the circus and it is not clear who is in the third spot.

Aston Martin is dropping from the top, also Mercedes is not he same car as 1 month ago.

Big step ahead for Mclearen, keep in mind only Norris had the upgrades and Piasti (exceptional driver IMHO) will have them from the following GP.

Piastri is a great driver but he needs to have better luck,he usually is not well known for good starts rather for strong race pace as this is his strongest point in my opinion while for Lando we all know that he is a very talented F1 driver who is lacking the car to give him his first desired win.McLaren management claimed that they will have a completely new car in Silverstone compared to the previous races and luckily that race is this very next weekend.

Ferrari is doing great I think and if with just a bit of luck and if Sainz did not have that 5 second penalty he would be on the podium also,it was not that easy for Perez as Sainz hold him up quite enough and if he did not get that penalty Perez would not have a chance to come to the podium.

That is correct, it was a wrong mindset to think that gambling is nice source of income. I don't understand sometimes why they thought about that., Gambling doesn't need any skills instead, gamblers always depend on luck to win profit in the game of the casino platform. This mindset must be change in the eyes of a gambler.
Agree, and there are still lots of gamblers who have the goal of changing their lives from the results of gambling even though by gambling they are actually getting closer to poverty if they only pursue win.
But there are also some people who are lucky and manage to get big wins so they can change their lives for the better, it's just only one in a thousand people.
What we need to realize that it becomes a guideline is gambling as a means of entertainment and always setting limits so we don't lose a lot when we lose.

I think that most responsible gamblers while being really few in numbers they play gambling with a certain limited budget and they use it to hit that life changing event so whatever happens to this budget they don't care much.The people who are reckless and who make it to that life changing win are lower in number than a thousand people,in fact during a year they can be counted with the fingers of one hand and most of them end in poverty and ruin their life.We need to keep this in mind and always apply this limited budget in our gambling sessions no matter what our final objective is because by doing so we don't really care what happens with our session,if we hit that dream win good for us and when we don't nothing changed for us.

After being left by Benzema, Real Madrid have not found a suitable replacement, now there are rumors with several players like Kane or Mbappe, I'm sure one of them will be brought in, Real Madrid's failure in the UCL and La Liga last season certainly made them will improve more to be able to appear stronger in the next season.
As for the replacement for Benzema there is no news on which player Real Madrid will buy, but some news circulating in the media is that Kylian Mbappe is a priority that Real Madrid is trying to approach. Learn from last season and Real Madrid must really maximize the quality of the players they want to bring in because if you rely on existing players it will be difficult to compete in any competition next season.
Kylian Mbappe is one of the players Perez most wants to replace Benzema, but so far no agreement has occurred between Real Madrid and PSG regarding the transfer of the player. Real Madrid need to move quickly to finalize the transfer of Kylian Mbappe as Liverpool are also interested in him.
Last season was not in favor of Real Madrid, only the CDR trophy that they managed to bring home from the several competitions they played in. Real Madrid needs to immediately spend money to bring in players while there are still several quality players available in the transfer market, Harry Kane can also be used as an alternative if they fail to land Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu.


Real Madrid would love to do it quickly, but there isn't really anything they can do about it except for making their offer. Kylian Mbappe has time and PSG also has time as they don't even have a new coach yet. The transfer market is also open for quite a while and since there is no pressure for Mbappe to rush it, he is probably waiting to see what other clubs might also be willing to offer him. This deal is far from done yet and rumors keep this whole story alive on a daily basis. Liverpool was mentioned and I would not be surprised if a couple of other names also will be mentioned.

Real Madrid needs desperately a player like Mbappe in order to achieve their goals much faster,a player like him in the middle of the stars of Real Madrid will shine much brighter than he is doing in the Paris team.I think it is time for him to move as he played several seasons there with Paris and never managed to win a Champions League trophy,he is young in age yes but the years do pass and it would be better also for him to go and join a team like Real Madrid.

I would not wait for other offers if I were him,as soon as Madrid would have contacted me I would have immediately agree with their offer,Real Madrid is the best team for me where Mbappe can go and upgrade his career with a Champions League trophy.

If the goal is to dominate the league, it's not that hard to achieve. It is enough to make a few transfers to become the champion. But if they want to achieve great success in Europe, things are changing. The team is not bad, but it is not easy to achieve it either. They should definitely include new names in the team and the players should get used to each other Smiley
Dominating the league isn't that hard, even with Spalletti leaving the team? I will tell you that perhaps Spalletti managed to give Napoli the golden period that they dreamed of for many years, and to miss such a mentor was a very stupid initiative, basically it was De Laurentiis's stupidity, but whoever remembers this, he is not a public figure, while Spalletti knows every fan. Not sure if Napoli can win Serie A again, without Spalletti it will be a completely different team.

The move came as soon as Napoli was eliminated from Milan by losing both games in the Champions League and also going and losing at home 0-4 again against Milan.It was exactly in this moment that Laurentis could not wait anymore and he got what he wanted the glory after 33 years by winning the Serie A,while now he is not at all happy with just winning the Serie A again so he is looking to do better in the Champions League this time.I don't think Napoli primary objective will be the Serie A again as I doubt they have the capacity to win it again two times in a row,other teams have improved a lot now and as such without Spalleti they are looking to go further in the Champions League.

Another easy win for RBR, but as I said earlier they can win all the races this year.
Ferrari is in a decent status now but still far away.

Also, Mclaren did a big step ahead, keep in mind only Norris got the updates.

Mercedes and Aston Martin are losing contact with the top of the grid, again.

Ferrari did a decent race but as usual the team strategy hold them back from being 2nd and 3rd,not that is a big problem being 2nd and 4th but just saying and emphasizing that even when the car is decent and the drivers are behaving well by doing great drives the team management made a bad call in my opinion for the type of tires in the first pit stop,they got again for the mediums which was the move that "compromised" their race,nevertheless a great show by Ferrari as for Redbull we already know they are in another planet.

Interesting fact how Mercedes and Aston Martin were contending to be the second best car after Redbull are now losing track race after race,do they work there or don't work at all?I believe they do but they have been doing the wrong works compared to other teams.
2746  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Help on general mining ? on: July 02, 2023, 06:07:31 PM
Unfortunately now there is no time for experiments or experiments.
Thats not true there is always time , specialy for new users for experiments so that they get themself some experience that is needed for mining and setting up things.
If everybody thinks the same way about that you doing then miners will be getting stuck or have no idea how to do.

If you want to mine, then you need to have an advantage over other miners in the ability to find new coins,
Really ? Sounds like you have all knowen before you started mining .
Dont know when you started , but i started in the end of 2011 and in 2012 around that was exactly the time you describe now.
Today its more community friendly as it was back in the days when i started , so why not help new users that have questions.
I started mining a few years later than you, but back then there were very few miners and a lot of home mining opportunities.
I don’t understand what kind of experiments we can talk about now, when there is a lot of information about each video card, overclocking options and profit on all algorithms. Now it's a business. If a beginner has expensive electricity, then even if he is the most experienced miner, he will not be able to earn on mining.

On general mining nowadays anyone can buy a ready made GPU rig for the price of a single card (price of 2021 I am talking about  when the price were the highest) and someone can have it setup for him to use a miner like Nicehash for example and be told to just open an account there use 2FA and just hit the start mining button to mine after setting up his mining address,I know these were very popular back in the days 2020-2021-2022 when many people at eBay and not only there also in my local market place people were selling such rigs at a very expensive price and their main benefit in the description of their ad was "just put it in and let the money flow,you just change the mining address".

Now such rigs cost extremely cheap and anyone who want to try out can do so,no special knowledge needed,just the basics with computer staff.

It is easy to vote pro this,government should keep secrets from their people but they need to safeguard them much better than the elections in the USA 2016 where Russia intervened (funny but yeah there where USA is the strongest,in IT systems) and made the result to favor Trump as a president.These type of secrets should be kept with utmost importance by people able to keep them and nowadays this is an absolute must because as the example with Russia above demonstrated that evil people are already there waiting for that perfect moment to attack a certain country.In this context I always agree that government should keep some secrets from normal citizens.

If Russia goes in nuclear war then they know very well that as soon as they hit the first rocket they will cease to exist as a country as all other nuclear powers will respond accordingly shooting the hell out of Russia.Sure it will be a massive catastrophe in the world but I doubt if Russia is ready for this,they would be better to accept that they are losing this war every day and this is better to accept than starting a nuclear war which will end with the complete wipe of Russia from earth.

Biden administration is seriously looking to provide long range weapons to Ukraine,the Himars were a game changer last year,now the new ones will again be a game changer but a final one and Russia should accept that when you start an aggression based on bullshit reasons like Nazis in Ukraine you will lose this war and after losing it no one will look at Russia the same way again,the horrendous war crimes committed in Bucha,Irpin and Kharkiv will never be forgotten.

Situation in france not good now i hope it don't go over nice area like st tropez Cannes the french riviera wich one is always safe and nice location to be.

Anyways the situation in france shows exacly that people have enough the unjustice making people mad.
The situation in france can spread quickly alll over other countries Also becouse people stand up against rulers.



I like France only because there justice is served,I am sure in many other European countries people will be not that ready to protest,they will say that as long as I am not directly concerned why should I care to go and protest and that is plain wrong because next can be them if they don't protest.In France it looks like people know this very well and exactly because of this they rush and rage in protests and that is the correct behavior,the police cannot just kill a 17 year old just because he tried to get away with his car,they could have arrested him without problems and beside it he was not dangerous for police life,therefore I fully support the protest and the rage of protesters in France (except I don't like innocent people to be burn their car for this,they should burn government offices).
2750  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: July 02, 2023, 05:00:23 PM
I think Spurs will back out of their £100m price tag for Kane and settle closer to what Munich is offering. They would be stupid if they keep asking for that amount of money since they are the team at more risk of losing a player for free next season. If Man United is going to compete in signing him then Spurs would most likely get more than £70m

True, I personally also really regret Tottenham's actions or decisions which are still holding Kane back from being owned by other teams. Because after all, in the end Kane will also have the option not to renew his contract and can leave on a free transfer. If that happens, then of course Tottenham will lose because they won't get anything and thus, it will certainly be better for Tottenham to accept the offers that come in for Kane.

Kane is a player who has given so much to Tottenham and he deserves to be playing in a much better team than Tottenham,a team which will have better consistency than Tottenham and he will be backed by much higher class players than he plays with in Tottenham.

I agree,the team management should do well to accept tempting offers as I am sure there will be a lot of such offers in his address from big teams,I don't know how true is but I have heard Real Madrid is looking for him.Tottenham without him will be much weaker in attack and will have a difficult season ahead in the Premier League but that's life.
2751  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A qualified strategy exist in gambling?If yes, come and talk. on: July 02, 2023, 04:31:00 PM
There are not real working 100% strategies in winning at gambling because if they were 100% successful then the casinos would go broke.However there are quite some "rules" to help you gain somewhat of an advantage when you place bets in sport betting and these can be found online easily,just a google search will tell you quite a lot of these rules.

Of course the big casinos can bear as many reds as possible as they are setup with the right balance in the beginning and I assume they also regulate the house edge somewhat higher during that time in order for them to make more profit so then they can adjust the house edge again to satisfy all the gamblers needs.There is no strategy as I said in gambling as people have been searching for one 100% working strategy here for ages,you said it yourself,those who set up a casino usually end up making money if they set it up properly and do not scam people.
2752  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ UEFA Euro 2024 in Germany ⚽ - Qualifiers on: July 02, 2023, 04:09:01 PM
I would put England over others aside from France, I would say it's France first, England second, Croatia third and so forth, rest could be similar because I believe one of those three will win it and rest do not have much chance. Obviously this is a tournament and anything could happen and we shouldn't really talk big about this.
I don't think England to be superior from Croatia although they have better players but Croatia have better team play. It is not names that make team successful but the way they playing, otherwise Morocco wouldn't play in advanced stage in Qatar World Cup.
So I will go with France, Croatia, Spain then the others depending from their performance in each game.

Croatia is a great team but unfortunately their best players are old in age and I don't think the new ones who will replace them in Euro 2024 will be at the same level of them.Also if Croatia plays with these players will have one of the oldest average age as a team and this is not looking promising at all for them to be winning against teams like England,France or Spain for that matter who has a really young team eager to do well and much better than they did in the World Cup last November.

I think that Croatia will go far but I doubt they will be able to win the Euro 2024,we have also Germany playing at home who I think has gone through a complete remake of the team after their miserable fail in the World Cup.

Max dominance was such huge that he won race so comfortable even with extra pit stop that he made for fastest lap. And he was one of few drivers who didn't had problems with track limits. Finally good race for Perez - it was very needed for him.
But that thing with track limits is just ridiculous. There was just few drivers who didn't received black and white flags or penalty. Probably some changes need to be made on turn 10, especially considering that this track is going to stay in F1 until 2030 at least.

That was a real hit on the balls to FIA with that move,he say that I can go and do a pit stop just for fun in the last 3 laps because I feel like it and I want to get the fastest lap done again because I can.This shows that the F1 sport is becoming boring and boring with the passing of time,one race engineer Adrian Newey wherever he has been he has won titles thanks to his knowledge and unfortunately it seems that the competition is not able to keep up with him and his design ideas which have helped Redbull a lot.

Good thing next race is Silverstone where McLaren management has promised a completely new car,we have seen upgrades during the last two races and Norris was 5th today ahead of Aston Martin and Mercedes which shows exactly that McLaren team is working.

A not so boring race,I was expecting a more boring one yet the fight in the lower levels made it somewhat not boring,this track thanks to being run half part of it in DRS means that it gave everyone a chance,of course Redbull is still on another planet as even a mediocre Perez who had a lot of difficulties to overtake Sainz who by the way for me is the driver of the day today for all those 5 laps that defended against the top car in a track where DRS as I said is open half of it.Ferrari had just some small upgrades from last time around while Aston Martin and Mercedes seem like they are losing ground with each passing race.Norris made also a super great race today.
2755  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 🏁🏎️ Sportsbet.io🏁 FORMULA 1 2023 Season🏁🏎️Prediction Pool Discussion Thread on: July 02, 2023, 12:42:22 PM
McLaren's upgrade has really worked and they are getting better in time. Norris is of course benefiting from the situation a lot. Qualifying session went great for him as he will start in 4th place. But the problem is that McLaren still can't reflect this development onto the race exactly yet. For example he started in 3rd place to the Spanish GP but the end of the race was horrible for him.

For now McLaren can do a solid work in only qualifying sessions. But this is still progress for them. Now they need to focus on maintaining a high performance during a whole race. Today will be another chance for them to make it work in the race as well.

That's what I'm hoping for today CLS! McLaren can show some big potential and great race pace today and my guess is that Piastri will have the best race in his F1 so far and already took a bet with him winning group 3 against Albon , Gasly and Ocon with a total of x11 odds.

I'm also thinking right now to place a bet with McLaren @both cars to finish in points at x4 odds because I do have faith in them today especially on this track.

I think that you have made the right bet and I don't know where these odds were as the best odd I got was to go for Ferrari most team points during the race of today at 6.00 which is not that bad.McLaren truly has upgraded their car every race more and their management have said that by the race of Silverstone they would show a completely new car,I think we are near that race and I am ready to see such wonderful performance,who knows just a bit of rain despite the weather not showing it in forecast can make the race really chaotic.
2756  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Minimum Age to gamble on: July 02, 2023, 12:10:21 PM
I came across an article How Old Do You Have to Be to Gamble in USA?. In this article, i saw that the minimum age to gamble is between 18 to 21 years. I wonder if the online casino do follow this minimum age for gambling.

Yes, the gambling sites have our age data through the KYC documents. Do they ever restrict anyone who is underage to not to gamble?
Also, if we find any site allowing minors to gamble, can legal action be taken against them?



In most countries even outside the USA they have a law that you have to be over 21 to gamble,it was over 18 until not many years ago.Even where I am now any people wanting to go and play to the land based casinos they have to show their national ID otherwise they will not be allowed.

Even in online sites that are from this country the same rule applies,without KYC you cannot play.This is for FIAT casinos though as for crypto casinos you can play up to 500-1000 dollars without KYC in most cases but if you want more then you have to verify yourself.

I don't know but rarely you will find minors to gamble because of KYC,while in crypto casinos as long as they are not verified you cannot get any data and once they verify for KYC in crypto casinos it is the same,no minors are allowed.
2757  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How is your Gambling Pattern Like? on: July 01, 2023, 07:39:44 PM
I don't have a gambling addiction, but I acknowledge that there are issues with my gambling habits that need to be addressed and corrected. One of the effective ways to tackle this is by observing, imitating, or modifying the patterns of other gamblers to suit me best. I'm curious about your own gambling lifestyle. Do you set aside specific times each day or week for gambling? If you enjoy sports betting, do you bet on games throughout the week whenever they're available? When it comes to visiting casinos, do you play at one today or this week and then try out a different one the next time you want to gamble? As for bankroll management, do you track it using an app, Excel, or any other methods? And regarding your environment, do you prefer playing at an online casino while listening to music in the background, or do you prefer a quiet atmosphere? I may have missed other aspects, but these questions should suffice for now. I look forward to reading your thoughts and comments.

Fortunately I have managed to only play during Thursdays and Saturday/Sunday.I can never imagine my weekend without gambling while on Thursday is just a superstition of mine that slot machines give the huge payouts during that day in most of the times  Grin although I am not at all a superstitious person.Sport bets I place every time I see a reasonable bet and no matter what day is I don't care about it.

I like a very quiet atmosphere with my headphones plugged into my phone and laid down on my sofa relaxing,I set a budget prior to play otherwise it is not relaxing anymore if you keep losing and losing more money  Grin.

It was one of best sprint races that we had in these 3 seasons. A bit of rain, wet track made it very interesting. Well, one thing doesn't changes - Max dominance. But his fight with Perez on first lap was nice to watch. It already looked that it was mistake for Hulkenberg to change on slicks, but in the end, he didn't lost anything, though didn't gained positions too. And that Russel overtake Ocon on finish line and 0.009 gap was cherry on top in this sprint.
No rain is expected on race tomorrow.

That is bad for our race if we don't have any rain,even just a very light rain just to make drivers drive more cautiously would be great,nevertheless the fact that Perez looks somewhat revived is promising,I guess what Helmut Marko has been saying about him in the media made him wake up and drive the car like he should,after all he still has the best car on the grid and if he cannot beat his team mate he should have no problems beating other cars.

Ferrari lacking again although Sainz being third is a great sign of recovery and it is a validation that the team has been truly upgrading this car,tomorrow I am expecting a lot from Ferrari.
2759  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Friendly Match is Hard to Predict on: July 01, 2023, 10:20:01 AM
Friendly match are hard to predict because they are less entertaining and that is because it is just a friendly match, you won't get the same performance that you can get out of a La Liga football match or Champions League since this is just a friendly match you should expect less performance and possible manipulation because when things are not be taken very seriously it will be easier for the football coach to take bribe behind the back and take accept defeat for the money.

I also have some friends that are into football gambling specifically, They always complain about friendly matches and none of them have ever bet their money on any friendly matches because they believe that it is less fun and more harder to predict.

Friendly matches are being played a lot these days as teams that will play in preliminary qualification for the Champions League want to see the condition of their players,of course in such games it is very difficult to predict the outcome of the game but not only that,also it is very difficult to predict with goals,both teams to score or other type of bets and the reason is simple,we don't know how the players of each team will behave as they have no real objectives in these games except to test their form.Therefore it is much better to refrain from betting on such games or the risk of losing money will be bigger than in normal games that have an objective in them.
2760  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stop gambling (sports betting, casino e.t.c)? on: July 01, 2023, 09:36:10 AM
The answer is really simple: Keep controlling your gambling budget and never get addicted playing casino games aka slots. Sports betting is better than casino games since impatient person can lose everything on additive slots due to being incompetent. I personally suggest not playing for few months and that person will never feel that urge to deposit since that feeling is hidden in our psychology. Just my 2 cents.

In our world of nowadays that is very difficult to achieve as we are "besieged" by those activities that draw us into gambling.We can set a budget yes but this only works to slot machines based on my experience as there you can play long enough even with a small budget and call it a day after you lose this budget while in sport betting you can say to yourself how come I lost all balance in just 2 bets that I made,I did not enjoy this at all and you go and put more money into it trying to get the next bet.Both are very dangerous activities to people who lack self discipline and patience as they are the most common victims of this.I agree with you staying away a few months removes that hidden desire to keep gambling.
