3261  Economy / Gambling / Re: What all are your considerations before picking your go to sportsbook? on: May 16, 2023, 10:01:51 AM
All I am really looking for when choosing a place to place a wager is if they accept my country, KYC, have the markets I wish to bet on, have some sort of decent reputation, and if they have decent odds.

If any 1 of my needs are not there I will not bet on that sportsbook.

I would love exactly the same standards except that I would expect from a sport book to which I will be loyal to them if they offer me everything I need,a sort of ongoing and recurring bonus,kinda like weekly and monthly bonus.I would expect this as in times when I will be low on money like I found exactly myself in this moment,when Champions,Europa League games are on sight,the monthly bonus which can be a range from 10-70 dollars depending on the rank of the person will be enough to satisfy my needs.

Another critical point from the sportbook would be how much markets they offer and nowadays I must admit all the major ones offer all sort of betting options.

I saw Milan's tifosi speak to players after their loss in league. Will that change something in tonites game? They asked from them to give everything... I think one early goal from Milan can bring match to being close call since Inter and Milan play better when they score first.

Whatever the fans do they will not change the outcome of this game which many believe to be an Inter Milan victory without much trouble as last game saw a really bad Milan and the real result should have been 0-5 so they are lucky to have ended that game 0-2.In this game though there will be 75% from Inter Milan fans in the stadium and only 25% of Ac Milan a fact which will make it even more difficult for Ac Milan to start and turn back the result.In fact the bookies are neutral in this as giving over 2 as an odd to Inter mean that they are expecting either side win with only slight favoring to Inter Milan.

Something happened in my locality and I just wonder if that's how we also behave in the online space.

So, they're always a group of rougues in my country, they're often sited in the market place where there's a reasonable population, what's their work???

The have things in a martch box like stones and sticks, they'll ask you to pick the one out of it that has something, depending on what the want....

At first, when you pick, they'll let you win so as to drag your attention, then subsequent wins, you'll be at the losing side and the make sure the drain your pockets entirely.

So, just last week, this lady fell a victim and she was shouting and crying, the had obviously emptied her pocket and even gotten her phone from her in the process of the gambling.

My thoughts, is this how we often feel when we lose out on a bet??
Do you wish the site can refund your money??

Gambling should be your choice, you shouldn't let anyone compel or persuade you into it.


These type of cheaters were so popular where I live now as I have been told by the locals in 1992-1997 as they had some cups in which they filled a dice in there and they told you if you find where the dice is you will win x amount of money.People at first fell completely for this trick and they lost a lot of money until the government ban them completely in 1997 which saw a relief.Where I am originally from this was never allowed because government was very strict about street gambling as that is what this is.

In the end luckily nowadays no one falls for this as we have online gambling which we can play in the comfort of our home without anyone impacting our decision and this online gambling will continue to boom further exactly from this benefit.

Leicester is playing for survival, win over Liverpool would give them easier last round against Newcastle

I would say the chances of Arsenal to win the league title now stiill is more plausible than Leicester City get 3 points tonight, at least that's how I feel about it, ngl... Liverpool might not be an entirely convincing team but, this should be an easy one to win for the them.

hopefully you got it right, and Leicester will lose tonight, although everything except their win is acceptable (would like to see them losing, I prefer Liverpool to Newcastle in CL)
it is a rough fight for survival in EPL, Forest improved their position a lot in last two rounds, and Everton, Leeds and Leicester will sort two positions as it now looks

Leicester has one win in last 13 EPL matches, hoping to stay on that until the season end

Yes, that's what happened. Liverpool managed to score two beautiful goals in the first half of the match by Stoner and Salah, but VAR intervened and denied Stoner his second goal. I think the match is open to more goals in the second half. Liverpool needs to win the remaining matches to secure a spot in the Champions League. Newcastle faces a tough challenge against Chelsea and Brighton.
Was hoping for more goals as they only had 1 goal in the second half with Salah missing an open shot late in the match.
They are looking in good form but so late into the season all they can hope to accomplish is to secure UEFA champions league now.
Chelsea received a new manager with Mauricio Pochettino joining the club announced earlier yesterday.
They have both the Manchester sides and Newcastle as you had mentioned in their remaining matches to close out the season.
And it has been a very disappointing one for The Blue Lions. I don't see them receiving even a point in those three.

I'd be very surprised Mauricio Pochettino last for half season at the Chelsea, it's just gonna be another rinse and repeat era of coach, Mauricio Pochettino last jobs have made it obvious he might be a good coach but then, he's goals and the bars he set aren't Mauricio Pochettino what Chelsea would be impressed with, all Chelsea wants is a coach that can make them compete on all level, and the best advantage for Pochettino would be that the team have not but league and the league cups to play for, so that might buy him a better chances at staying quite longer in the job, since the league is all he should be thinking about but once Chelsea have an idea that he's not going to get them to top for, or play good that we haven't witnessed from the all season long, and at least a place in the Europa League, he's gonna be out.

I think the experience of Pochettino is something which can be very useful to Chelsea for the upcoming season,Lampard clearly is not able to get good results and the only win he got was against Bournemouth with a huge upper hand by the referee otherwise he would not have won that game too.Pochettino I think is less passionate and much more pragmatic when it comes to making a team play to achieve results,results oriented team,in Tottenham he did not do that great but tell me who did great with them,no single coach as they are a very volatile team not being able to be consistent and we have seen this throughout this season and in European competitions.

I think Pochettino is the right choice for Chelsea and I believe him to bring Chelsea to the levels they deserve to be.

i registered at an online casino and my deposit was not arrived(in casiono) and i contact to their support and they said you need to wait for 10 business days for your refund.

10days are completed and i still didn't received my refund, and they told that "if you don't receive your refund in 10 days then you can contact us with your bank statement"

my question is, is it safe to share bank account statement for verification purposes?  the site is reputable, but in bank statement all my information are available. is it safe to share?

Deposit not arriving is a big red flag as a first starting point because in most well known casinos most of the coins require just one confirmation and also most of the altcoins have very fast confirmations time while for Bitcoin you may wait a while,nevertheless not arriving means that there is something wrong on the casino side.Sending bank statement to such casino for me poses enough security risks so it is better to not do so,I would stop playing in such not well known casinos and check the Gambling section to see the ANN threads of the most reputable casinos,I am sure you won't have such problems there.

Liverpool made seven consecutive wins and that is a great achievement,the pressure will be all on Manchester United now as Liverpool does not seem to stop anytime soon.I only regret betting on over 3.5 goals and Liverpool to win plus both teams to score as my bets which I lost all of them as I never expected Leicester not being able to score a goal while lately they have always scored goals in their recent encounters,all or almost all of them and Liverpool defense is not well known for not conceding any goals despite lately finishing some games on clean sheets.Anyway I am happy for Liverpool and I hope they continue with such performances.

3268  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Best and worse slots on: May 15, 2023, 08:43:47 PM
I have been playing a few slots lately and have had some good winnings but nothing huge yet. Most of the YouTube gamblers I watch have been playing Sweet Bonanza, so I tried it first with a minimum bonus buy of $20 and sometimesi got into the bonus after few normal spins. The maximum win I had was x7 which is x700 on the game.
I also tried Gates of Olympus, Sugar Rush, and Sweet Bonanza Xmas, but I didn't like any of them. I don't know if I just got used to Sweet Bonanza or if there are other better slots out there. Could you please recommend a good slot with bonus buys and low cost, if possible?

Personally for now I would put Sweet Bonanza as the best slot and Gates of Olympus as the worst one as i never had any winning session with more than 10 bonus buys.




For bonus buy in low amounts just change your money from whatever currency to IDR-Indonesian Rupee and you will get the bonus buy for 20.000 RP which is about 1.40 dollars roughly for bonus round.This way you will get much more tries than you will do with normal dollars but keep in mind that the wins will also be lower because of the IDR currency you will use.

You are only playing Pragmatic Play slots which yes is one of the best providers but you can try your luck in other providers as well like Play n Go,No Limit City and Relax Gaming to name a few for example.Personally I would recommend Release the Kraken 2 from Pragmatic as a great slot to try the bonus buy,try the VIP bonus buy with IDR as with dollars it costs a lot.

3270  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: May 15, 2023, 01:17:33 PM
overall this season the Bundesliga standings table is very tight that between Bayern Munich and Dortmund both want to reach the top of the standings and until now Bayern Munich has not been able to add more points and thus Dortmund also don't want to be too far behind.
like yesterday's match when Bayern Munich beat their opponent and Dortmund also did not want to miss having to beat their opponent. so the position of these two top teams is very interesting when Dortmund always follows what Bayern Munich has gotten.

but if you look at the history of experience, I think Tuchel has a way to bring Bayern Munich to stay at the top of the standings.
The competition for the Bundesliga trophy is quite competitive this season where every week to come we will see a more heated competition from the two teams in the top rankings.  Their performance is getting better after recording a big win in the previous match. These two teams will continue to show full concentration in every match to strengthen their ranking in the standings table.

Tuchel can be quite perfect in his first season with Bayern Munich if he manages to present the Bundesliga Trophy this season. He has to work extra hard in the remaining few games because if they lose it might be very detrimental for them because Dortmund are also in pretty good condition lately.
And that was what he was paid for..  Tuchel hasn't done to the expectation
Niggelsmann wasn't a bad coach you know. Tuchel was given the position because the management and the club believed him to be a solution to the miniature problem Nigglesman was having that time. But I haven't seen a significant thing Tuchel will do that would have seen too difficult for Noggesman Tuchel not to act fast and end the season with a title.  It is not going to be a good thing if he is out of all Europa trophy ways

Of course the coming of Tuchel does not correspond to the team management planning to bring someone new in order to win the Champions League which it did not happen and they were destroyed by Manchester City there.I think that Niggelsmann could have also won the Bundesliga as he was leading with Bayern not losing the lead at all,while from the coming of Tuchel things changed for the worse as they got out of Champions League and at a certain point they lost the lead of Bundesliga where now they are just one point ahead of Dortmund.Not the most successful move I would say from Bayern management this time while usually they do great moves.
3271  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2022/2023 on: May 15, 2023, 10:36:06 AM
Leicester city vs Liverpool match will be held at King Power Stadium Leicester city's own ground. Although Liverpool are likely to win today's match, they are a strong team as they are playing at Leicester City's home ground. But currently Liverpool are in good form, their game performance is great in today's match they will try hard enough to win the match. Liverpool have won a series and have not lost all the matches in the last 5 matches while Leicester city has won one match and drawn two matches and lost two matches in the last five matches. If Leicester city can perform well at their home ground then there is a chance to win today's match. Liverpool is on the 5th position at the top of the points table and Leicester city is at the 19th position. If Leicester city wins today's match, it will occupy the 17th position at the top of the points table.
I highly doubt that Liverpool will be able to secure victory in the next three matches. Because Liverpool are not in a very favorable position, and if we want to look at the performance, the other three opponents are smaller than Liverpool, but they are currently well ahead in terms of ability.

Liverpool is coming from an awesome form where they have won 6 consecutive games against stronger opponents than those they will play during the end of the season now.They have beaten Brentford and also beaten Tottenham and based on this I can surely say that Liverpool should start with the right foot by making 7 consecutive wins tonight after winning against Leicester City.Leicester defense is really bad in quality and against a team like Liverpool which attack is their strongest weapon I doubt such defense can do much.It will be difficult of course for Liverpool to keep being as persistent as they are but in the end I think they might be capable of pulling it of.
3272  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Some needed features of an online casino. on: May 15, 2023, 09:49:46 AM
Most well known casinos I think have a self exclusion ban which can be 1 day,1 week,1 month,1 year or forever and so when a gambler feels that things are running out of his control he can go and opt a self exclusion ban depending on his severity of addiction he can go and click on self exclusion forever.

The other ways mentioned here are a burden for most casinos as they would have to change their code in order to accommodate,time limits and things of this nature and that is why I think self exclusion is enough.For other ways there should be educative ads on TV,radios and other resources easily accessible to anyone so they can be useful to bring down the number of addicted persons.

If mining is prohibited in a country, this does not mean that miners do not mine cryptocurrency there. Rumor has it that China still uses a lot of mining hardware because they have electricity surplus areas and the cost of electricity is cheap.

You can't stop mining despite the wider ban that China made in 2021 and even with China out of the way in a big chunk we have a lot of the world that it is still mining and I have said it several times that mining overall including when China was heavily mining with a lot of farms the energy used was less than 1% of the total energy being used in the world for different purposes.

There is nothing that can stop mining and the fact that the people claiming about the energy,massive energy consumption from mining are shrinking day by day until they are completely out of the picture.

Anything else anyone can think of? Like...
How about have the mental strength and willpower to say no! If you are single and still in your 20s where your decisions don't affect the lives of others that much, it's not that big of a deal. You are only doing harm to yourself. If you have a family and kids who look at you as their superhero, start acting like one, at least when it comes to knowing good from bad. Your actions impact those around you in so many ways. 

Exactly.Sometimes when the rage is getting the best out of me I think immediately of my daughter that this money which I am trying to recover lost amounts can be spend in a much better way by providing to my family and specifically to her,this gives me an enormous will power that in 3 years out of addiction I may have overdone it only 2-3 times and this with money I could afford to lose of course.

As long as you are single you will get bored and sad yourself but you are not responsible for others around you and as you say it is not of a big deal.

Brighton has just ended Arsenal their trophy dream last night, The game was just like a revenge match for Brighton Albion over a 5 -1 defeat that they suffered in the hands of Everton in their last game. Despite the mess by Arsenal,  Arsenal side has already secured the 2nd position in the league by seeing off Newcastle united on a 2-0 defeat last week.
Manchester City has maintained its winning records once again as they looks unstoppable by any team at the moment after thrashing Everton 3-0.
Yes, now it seems that Arsenal's hopes of becoming champions are hopeless, once again they lost points which made Manchester City more comfortable at the top of the standings. It's really unfortunate when an extraordinary season has to end with an ending that is not satisfying at all, because their chances of becoming champions are destroyed by a very pronounced decline in the game so that they always get negative results.

It was no extraordinary at all for Arsenal,in fact I would call it the opposite,a disastrous season for them when we think that they were leading at a certain point with 9 points difference and they were the sole responsible for losing this advantage in games which no one would have doubt if they were fighting to win the Premier League.You of course cannot draw at home against the last place in the standings and you even were down 1-3 at a certain point against Southampton,then they got and lost the lead from 0-2 to 2-2 against West Ham a mid table team.They even lost to Everton at a certain point and taking all these into consideration it was no extraordinary season at all for Arsenal.

Nvidia decided to start sales a day earlier and will start selling the RTX 4060 Ti first, and the next day the RX 7600.
But these are different video cards and it is still unclear why all the portals compare these video cards.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 price - $349
Nvidia RTX 4060 Ti price - $450

Looks like a lost war for AMD even without starting,the fact that the 4060 Ti has near double the amount of cores compared to RX 7600 means that people most likely will pay a bit more money to get much more benefits compared to saving this little money and not get the desired performance.I know that gamers will buy the RX 7600 most likely as the performance in gaming won't be that much but miners surely will buy the 4060 Ti exactly because of the number of cores which will offer better performance in mining.The 4060 Ti will also be somewhat better in gaming though but in here people can opt to save money and playing with the RX 7600.The gaming market looks like the only hope for RX 7600 as they are mostly targeting that segment with this card.

Bagnaia is racing very poorly, in the last month.
He throw so many points, he could have easily 60 more points.

At least we have another driving shining right now.


About the penalty, he should paid it today imho.

Yesterday was not Bagnaia fault as it was a pure race incident,any other rider would have done the same trying to defend his position on the grid exactly because he had been performing poorly lately and throwing away many points.That is why there was a rage moment where Bagnaia hit the rider bringing him down but then everything was settled and they even shake hands together as they came with the same bike in the pit lane.

Bezzechi did a super awesome and perfect race yesterday as he got away quickly and never looked back,now he is just 1 point behind Bagnaia and Bagnaia should start to perform again or things will become difficult for him if he continues with such performances.

At half-time, Porto lost at home to Casa Pia by one goal.
Will Benfica still be crowned champion today?

Of course it will be difficult, Porto will give everything in the second half, so everything is very excited.

Wow I'm watching the match here
It's 1 x 1 right now, 30 minutes remaining to the end, I believe Porto can manage to make the second goal, but the match is hard
Braga, Sporting and Benfica already won their matches without problems, just the match of Porto is tough

Will I lose the bet just because of Porto?
Let's see

I wonder if there will be any help for Porto's team to win?
I am following closely here

It is the 79th minute and Porto is not doing much more than Casa Pia honestly as the stats shows somewhat of an equal game.I would love though for Porto to win as they would keep mathematically open for another game at least the Liga Portugal although I doubt that anyone else except Benfica deserves to win it more than anyone else and simply for because what they have given to the fans so far,better plays than any other team in Liga Portugal and their performance in European competitions was much better than any other team here.

I only hope for Porto to win their game for the people who have bet on them.

Society is smaller structure of a nation build by local leaders within the given frame of boundaries. Every good society is built by people or leaders with good intention and future lifestyle, a good society is a developed or developing society with equity's of human conscience and reason. When you mention good society there are foundations and structures that adherents it background like good roads, culture, schools, bole holes and drainages, churches and mosque, skills acquisition and empowerment. All this things is good when the small government within the society is good, and it is the smaller structure of societies that form nations and countries. When you see a failed society such society is filled up with failed leaders and government at the local level.

To recognized failed societies is simple everything is contrary to what I mention above, no hospital, no education, no good structures, no good government and no good living.

Such societies,successful ones I only know from the Nordic places like Denmark,Sweden,Norway and Finland which truly incorporate this philosophy,I am not saying that other places in Europe or the USA which also strive and suffer to bring people the same good society you are describing here but the level of the Nordic countries surpass any other country and no I am not from there at all.

For a failed society I would call a society who is built on violence and killings going to invade other countries,corruption and treating different class of people differently where the rich are treated differently compared to the poor and everywhere you see there is corruption from the lowest instance to the greatest one,I will not name that country here but I believe anyone has already understood who that is.
