3681  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Times When Casinos Will Ask Certificate That You Are A Responsible Gambler on: April 10, 2023, 07:39:51 AM
Will there come a time when online casinos will implement that you upload a responsible gambler certificate before you continue to play because of too many government restrictions it's not necessary for newly registered gamblers but for gamblers who lose a lot of money and their activity is they are suspected to be addicted to gambling.
The reason why the government will implement this, as a precaution, is to protect people from losing their wealth and their health from too much gambling because of addiction, it's a way of protection.

It does not make sense as it is restriction of freedom of choice in most western developed countries.People are free to choose what they do with their own money and even if they lose huge amounts of money it is still their own responsibility and not the responsibility of the government.Most casinos have already implemented self exclusion policies for a certain amount of time and some even the extreme case of banning yourself forever if you feel like that.Governments have enough of problems on their own to tackle that to implement these type of certificates sounds like impossible in these countries.There are a few countries which are trying to tackle gambling by banning any gambling word in their domain like any website with "bet" word there to be not accessible but even this is not working out.

In the end it is only the sole responsibility of the gambler that in most case they can realize they are addicted and they to ask for professional help,there is no other choice.

England are generally historical losers in football
~~~

 Grin

Completely agreed with this. I don't even remember when was the last time England managed to win a world cup, or even the Euro Cup. And I still remember what happened during Euro 2020. They asked some of their inexperienced players (Jadon Sancho, Bukayo Saka.etc) to take the penalty kicks and they lost as a result of that. And when their fans complained, the management shut them up by labeling all of them as racists. And look at their performance during Qatar 2022. They were one of the favorites to win the trophy, before getting kicked out of the competition by France. 

I can also agree with this claim.
England is the cradle of football, but the only time they managed to win a trophy in football was back in 1966 when the world cup was played in England and that was after a big controversy in the final with Germany, because it was never confirmed whether their third goal in the final was according to the rules.
They never won anything after that, although English clubs have always been good in European club competitions.
The unfortunate relegations of the English national team after penalties in many competitions have already become legendary.


They still play some of the most entertaining football compared to other teams as they never play defensively which is great football to watch when you play most of the time in attack.This is also the reason why they have not won anything after 1966 because soccer has become a game of strategy from different coaches who after they score a goal they immediately keep the team completely on the defense and that is not beautiful football,England has never done such thing and against any team they have played open football which even people who are not fans of England have enjoyed.

For penalties though as you say I have never seen a team having more bad luck than them so far.

Chelsea use to be a big strong team but it seems as if there days of reigns are becoming over gradually. There performances lately are becoming so poor.
There is a big problem with Chelsea team recently, and the solution is within them. From the manager to coach and then players too because  the manager's error will drastically affect the players.
Chelsea has big problems internally. The peak of the problem after the sale of the Chelsea club by Roman Abramovich, a man from Russia to Todd Boehly. After Chelsea was successfully sold to Todd Boehly, a man from the United States, then the existing problems didn't just end. Of course the Chelsea club must be separated from internal political interests, so that the strengthening of players can be optimized again.

That simply does not make any sense,it is not a problem of transfer of the club from a Russian rich man to an American rich one.The problems at Chelsea were already high since Abramovich was in charge,it was a lot of injured players that impacted the results of Chelsea.They tried changing coach a few times and this was another bad move from Chelsea.I am afraid when they play in Champions League this week they are going to be crushed really badly from Real Madrid who certainly does not have the same level of problems that Chelsea have.This season for Chelsea was one of the worst for them in these recent ones.

Arsenal seems to be favourite to win the 2022/2023 Premier League season but Manchester City is still very much in it and I think the winner would be either of the teams but being a Gunner, I just hope we win!
The winner of premier league is currently difficult to predict, if Arsenal won their match yesterday against Liverpool, I will have believe they will win the premier league, but Arsenal lost two points yesterday, which makes Manchester City closer to them. Manchester City is a very dangerous team, they will do everything possible not to lose any match currently, and Arsenal is still having some strong teams like Manchester city, Newcastle and let me also include Chelsea. But I know Chelsea won’t give Arsenal a tough time but they should also be included, anything can happen.

I think from these teams only Manchester City is the difficult one,as for me Arsenal will struggle with Newcastle but for me they will be able to get away with a victory there,we saw yesterday that the game had 2 faces,the first half for Arsenal and the second one for Liverpool and I think that Arsenal has won a point and not lost 2 because they were very lucky to end the game 2-2,the result should have been 4-2 or even 5-2 if Nunez and Salah had not missed so many clamorous chances to score,also big merit from the Arsenal goalkeeper in stopping such actions.It is open now the Premier League but still Arsenal is the big favorite to win it as there are only 8 games left.
3685  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy in casinos on: April 10, 2023, 05:54:05 AM
Martingale does not work in online casinos where most games are software controlled and they can opt for example to hit 100 times the red and never the black numbers on roulette while in real life we know that this is statistically impossible.Also in offline casinos they have set betting limits in place exactly to stop this strategy of Martingale and even if you find places where to apply it,the risk is big and the rewards are low so it is not at all recommended.Even in sport betting you have to be super patient to apply it only on odds over 2 but I doubt any gambler has such patience,if they had it,they would quit gambling very easily.

Leclerc needs to keep his head down after making a pathetic error already in the first lap in Australia as he is having difficulties with his temperament,results do not come by yelling on radio or complaining there but by keeping your head down and doing your maximum on your part and only after doing such performance then you can ask your team a lot of things but not before doing so.Based on this I think that Leclerc is not a driver who can be fighting for winning Championships and Ferrari would be better in changing their first driver to Sainz who did an awesome race in Australia.

Pathetic error?

Wasn't Stroll missing the breaking point and smashing on him avoiding the crash with his team mate Alonso?

Exactly,his rushing brought him out of the race and as such he should learn from the best,tell me one race where Michael Schumacher has tried to win so many positions in the first lap,yes very few because he knew that Championships are not won in the first lap of every race.I used to like Leclerc but I don't anymore exactly because of his rushing,his team mate made an excellent race which was turned in vain because of race directors and all those red flags but he drove like he should and Ferrari was much better than the first two races.All the drivers who have won Championships have something in common,and that something is patience which Leclerc seems to not have so far,I hope he clears his mind and shows us much better competitions next race.

I have never seen a more boring game than the one I am watching live Lorient vs Marseille,a game in which Lorient just keep parking the bus and Marseille players look like they don't know how to create goals opportunities,they just keep the ball without any ideas and most likely they will not win this game.It is exactly for this reason that I placed a bet on Lorient win or draw at 2.2 in the beginning of the second half and it looks like I am right,I am just defending another ticket where I only wait Marseille to win but that most likely will not come true as just a few minutes remain and Marseille just keep the ball and no real dangerous attacks at all.
3688  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DOGE surges as Twitter change its website icon to Doge on: April 09, 2023, 08:08:45 PM
A few days ago Twitter changes back its logo to the original one, the blue bird. As the hype and FOMO wind down, DOGE prices follow the sentiments. As of now, the prices lose almost 30% from the peak of the surges which is around 35% according to current CoinMarketCap data.

Based on my observation, there is not any further news about the assumed linked motive of his absurd lawsuit. Regardless the fact, I'm very sure the "mockery" surely hits the prosecutor and other parties who are in favour of it. I guess the current fate of Doge is only in the hands of big names or influencers, and I believe somewhat loses the meaning of its meme-based community owned status.

Doge has started as a meme coin without any promise of solving any real life problem like many well known other cryptos have come to life,it was just created as a meme and it was only because of Elon Musk that largely rallied back in 2021.Since then it became a good option to people having Scrypt ASIC miners which immediately switched to Litecoin+DOGE while before they were mining Litecoin only and that is the only thing that keeps somewhat alive Doge in my opinion.If it were only in the hands of influences like people like Elon Musk do then I see it difficult to rally in a big way.

Cristiano is having difficulty to score tonight,it is early as it just ended the first half but as they say the sun can be spotted early in the morning.I think that maybe Al Nassr will win but so far they have not been able to score despite dominating the game with statistics,attacks and corners.It is time for Cristiano to score a goal as it is exactly in the difficult games that players of his caliber playing on a non that qualitative league like this one should emerge and take care of the situation,most probably they will be attacking hard in the second half and the odd to place on Al Nassr live at 1.70 seems a good choice.
3690  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 09, 2023, 07:24:51 PM
Arsenal lost 2 important points in the championship race by losing points in a match they got 2-0 ahead. It was the most enjoyable football match I have watched in the recent times. Salah was able to score only 1 goal because of his clumsiness and unluckiness in a match that he could have made a hat-trick comfortably. Arsenal goalkeeper Ramsdale was very good in the last moments of the match.

Liverpool have absolutely become the team to have changed the course of the championship race after the matches they played against Manchester City first and Arsenal later on.

Those are really important points to lose, and given how tough some of the remaining fixtures are Arsenal, they are still likely to drop a couple of points imo, but then Man City could also slip too, but the race is now more open than ever, and they'll need Man City to also drop some points if they are to emerge victorious with the league title.

There are just 8 games remaining and some of them Arsenal will play in their home which most likely will win these games,the difficult encounters are only against City and Newcastle so if Arsenal manages to beat either of these teams,just one of them,most likely Newcastle they are still strongly favored to win the league title.It is true that they have really screwed up in tonight game against Liverpool as in the second half they were almost nonexistent in the field and they were just defending and waiting for the game to finish,they are lucky to come out with 1 point from this game as if Liverpool had been a bit more pragmatic in front of the goal they would have won the game.
3691  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: April 09, 2023, 05:46:39 PM
A really strange game this one,Arsenal completely dominated the first half and in the second half they were scared to death and they barely managed to pass their own field,this is not a team that is to win any title and I wonder how such team have come so far with these results,they were just under pressure and could not do anything,teams that fight for the title always find the power to fight back.

Liverpool did a super game in the second half and the result should have been 4-2 for them if Nunez and Salah had not lose those gold chances to score but that is football.Now Arsenal has 6 points advantage but has to visit City and Newcastle during these last 8 games and it won't be that easy for them.

There are many problems that are affecting online casinos either due to been illegal operations or fraud cases like

Fake Advert, Payment Problems, Spamming Gamblers etc

But one comes in mind that I can't get rid of, those that Rigged their games, I don't know if people actually know that some online casinos Rigged their games, like the Aztec casino that was labeled a scam casino for example.

My question is how can one know that their game is rigged? If you play over 20 games and you lose it all, no one will believe you if you say that their is something wrong with the platform because truthfully as a gambler you have to lose, so what way can you actually know that a casino game is been rigged?

I have also played over 20 slots and lost but this does not mean the casino is rigged.If you keep checking the ANN threads of different casinos here you will come across the most reputable and trusted ones,they do not cheat people as they know people are their greatest asset and you can easily spot them,they have the ANN thread full of positive reviews and ongoing promotions.I don't know about Aztec or any other casino as I don't play there as for me the casinos who have a great ANN thread here in this very section of the forum are more than enough for me.

Always check the house edge as some slot providers offer the casino different house edge levels.Also check the big wins as the reputable casinos show you the biggest win of persons and for example some also let players boast about it in their chat.That is the maximum anyone can do,then if you still think games are rigged go back and play sport betting.

Just hoping one will do well.

I think we have enough of them already,ETHW-EthereumPoW then we have ETHF-EthereumFair and ETC-Ethereum Classic all fighting with each other to get the place left alone since ETH moved from PoW to PoS so what would these new coins that you say use the same algorithm will bring new to the table and for them to become successful when there are already three of the big ones contending for this fight.

I can agree though for people coming in for the future,as if they have a very low difficulty at the beginning these new cards can make a decent and substantial amount of them and keep them in their wallet.

Arsenal have the early lead and it may go in the advantage of them as one goal give them enough confidence that they can score more goals and possibly win against Liverpool at home. Liverpool had the higher win probability but Arsenal have everywhere not giving Liverpool a chance to settle. The eight points lead that Arsenal has has been restored with this one goal lead. If Arsenal scores again, Liverpool will be in a difficult position, they may find it difficult to get an equaliser, or even win.
Arsenal is doing well in this game and they're out with lots of pressure on Liverpool to have gotten that first goal in the 8 minutes of the game, is actually a good one. This game is a crucial match for Arsnal and means so much in contributing to the entire Arsnal football club in becoming the English Champions. Arteta should do his best to ensuring that his team would not allow the Liverpool side to the see the back of their net until full time the whistle.

Salah from Liverpool just throw away an occasion to make 1-2 for them and make the game even more beautiful than it already is.The fact that Arsenal scored those 2 goals so easily it just shows that Liverpool left a lot of room,for Xhaka to pass to Martinelli and for Martinelli to cross for Gabriel Jesus who had also all the time in the world to score the second goal.Liverpool is stunned now and they don't seem to know what they are doing,Arsenal still wanting to score more goals and dominating the game even further as they know this game is critical to them as they will be 8 points ahead again from City and the number of games left will be less.

Why does it happen always that one of the favorites will lose their game in weekend in all the major leagues but in here it looks like it happens a lot more often.We saw Real Madrid yesterday night and we are seeing Betis not winning against a team near the bottom of the standings which at a certain time they were also in relegation zone.I think that the red card for Betis impacted them but they have better players compared to Cadiz and they are playing at home,I wonder how come they are suffering this much and they are losing 2-0 to Cadiz so far.

Based on such happenings I am betting a lot on Atletico Madrid to win as we had enough of surprises from La Liga so hopefully Atletico is going to win against a really weak Rayo in their recent games.
3696  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: April 09, 2023, 03:25:22 PM
I totally see where you're coming from, folks. Those two critical losses must have been a colossal letdown for Al-Nassr supporters, and the anticipation for Ronaldo was, like, sky-high. But we've gotta keep in mind that football's an intricate game, and a whole bunch of factors come into play when it's about a team's triumph or defeat.

One aspect Al-Nassr could really hone in on is their tactics, their strategy, you know? They've gotta scrutinize their rivals like hawks, whip up a game plan that amplifies their strengths and zeroes in on their foes' frailties. They also need to amp up that team chatter and synergy, making sure everyone's singing the same tune, striving for the same dreams.

And, of course, there's always space for growth when it comes to individual player prowess. Ronaldo may not be the titan he once was, but he's still a precious gem on the team. By leveraging their strengths, collaborating as a unit, and perpetually honing their abilities, Al-Nassr can still seize greatness this season!
Well, they do have a manager that is not world class and a team that is not a world class level. Sure they spent a lot of money on Ronaldo, but if I were the owner I would have just hired a much better manager for a lot of money, and also get like 3-4 other players that are good, when you combine all that it still doesn't cost as much as Ronaldo, and the team would be much better.

Imagine getting someone like Mourinho for 20 million a year, and then hiring some great players for 10-15 even 20 million a year, that means the total would be 240 million a year, and I mean 20 million a year salary on all of the roster plus the manager, that's a little bit more than Ronaldo, if you make it 10? That's nearly half as cheap as just one Ronaldo.
I disagree - because if they spent so much money on Ronaldo
They are not fools they know what gem they have brought to their club and Ronaldo is blessed to be landed on the scared land and experience some amazing stuff
Before spending big money surely this could've been discussed much. Everything done at the right time made things even popular. Once after the FIFA World Cup the announcement came and it turned to be the big talk. One of the oldest football league which isn't much into discussion had been discussed and the viewership increased from all around the world. All have happened out Ronaldo into the team. Surely what have been spent on him will be earned within short time period, because each and every act is connected to revenue.

I think in Saudi Arabia they have money to spend and a lot of them.They spend it really wisely by bringing Cristiano to be playing in their league for 2 seasons as those 500 million EUR spent for him in total I am sure they have made publicity enough to this league and I am sure for the upcoming season if voices are true that Messi maybe leaving in this league also,then the countries asking to broadcast this league will be huge enough and the revenue will come together with making the country better known in the football world.

Even this very thread here has gone to 60 pages when before the Ronaldo move it barely had 1-5 pages in total.

There is a really long time until the next race in Azerbaijan. I'm really disappointed to come across a long break like this so early in the season. It is like a summer break I mean. Anyway I hope that Ferrari make use of this free time as good as possible to make an improvement. Because they look really slow and problematic still. Mercedes and Aston Martin both impress us more.

It is really funny to see Ferrari having the same kind of communication and call issues this season as well. Especially Leclerc must be having difficulties in staying patient despite all this.

Leclerc needs to keep his head down after making a pathetic error already in the first lap in Australia as he is having difficulties with his temperament,results do not come by yelling on radio or complaining there but by keeping your head down and doing your maximum on your part and only after doing such performance then you can ask your team a lot of things but not before doing so.Based on this I think that Leclerc is not a driver who can be fighting for winning Championships and Ferrari would be better in changing their first driver to Sainz who did an awesome race in Australia.

This season still has an interesting plot. Benfica Lissabon is going to play against Braga and against Sporting towards the end. Now mathematically, if these two games are going to be close or Benfica loses them and Porto do their job, it would in fact become interesting once more. Benfica has to try and not lose those two games or otherwise they could get into trouble, a situation that I suppose nobody here believes to be possible. But the game against Porto could be this kind of key game.

I think that Benfica will go their way against Inter and then they still have the pressure mounting from the Champions League as well while not having secured the Primera Liga title. That can make a difference at some point when they might be facing an injury or another suspension. There is still some hard work to do for them even though the table looks comfortable for now, but those two games against Braga and Sporting caution is required.

I don't think Benfica will lose to Braga and also most likely they will not lose against Sporting either.They are now fully focused on the Champions League encounter against Inter in the upcoming two weeks and only once they would have settle things there for good or worse only then they will start thinking again Liga Portugal,for now they are leading comfortably and their mind and objective for the upcoming two weeks is far away from Liga Portugal.

Sporting is playing against Casa Pia tonight which should be an easy win for them,they have not been the most consistent team during this season and their position in the standings is showing just that.Porto started a bit late to do well and as such they have no real options of becoming Champions of Portugal this season.

Glorious victory from Lazio last night! I've watched the entire game , hoping that Lazio will be able to keep that 2-1 for almost and entire half and they did it! It was a hard working victory , a well deserve one for the players , club and also for the fans.

With this mega important victory , Lazio hopes once again for UCL spots and that 2nd place in Serie A is well deserved for them. Grin
Lazio has made good improvements this season to be ahead of teams like inter Milan,  ac milan and Juventus. Lazio have put much effort in  winning their games this  season.  I'm  not surprised about the victory of Lazio against Juventus,  it will  be great to see them in the Champions league next season.


I also think that Lazio has showed great football recently and I still cannot understand how they were eliminated from a team like Az Alkmaar from Netherlands in Europa League,a team much weaker than them but as soon as they were out of all European competitions they started showing great game play in Serie A.The funny thing is that compared to Inter,Milan and Juventus Lazio has not those quality players that those 3 other teams have but is all thanks from team work and a great winning mentality instilled to them from their coach.I think they fully deserve the second place in Serie A this season.

Yesterday in the Premier League, Southampton vs Man City was a tough fight between these two teams, but Southampton did not win the match. Southampton scored 1 goal after halftime. Man City played well in the whole game. Man City won the match by scoring 4 goals.  I bet against Man City team in the match. Man City will play so well. I bet in support of Southampton team before leaving. I lost in victory.
You should be able to know more about what Manchester City is targeting in the match and it is very clear that they need 3 full points to continue to stick to Arsenal in the standings. But indeed sometimes this is also uncertain, but if Manchester City is playing whoever the opponent is, try to always bet on the win because this is very different from Manchester United, which was previously held to a draw by Southampton. But I'm sorry about your loss at the bet this time, next time try to predict carefully enough, especially betting with confidence on the team that is catching up on points.
Manchester city added to their winning streak record in the last 5 matches Manchester city always won as well as Arsenal, there are still a few matches left this season so don't underestimate the top clubs that are currently competing, today arsenal will meet liverpool if arsenal loses or is held to a draw by Liverpool, of course, Manchester City has the opportunity to overtake them at the top of the standings.  Wink
If Arsenal lose today's match against Liverpool, it certainly wouldn't guarantee a victory for Manchester City in the English Premier League. However, there's no denying that the competition would be intense and exciting! Arsenal is focused on maintaining their winning streak and breaking their 10-year wait at Anfield. This Arsenal team has a unique mentality compared to previous years, and they're motivated to validate their potential. Liverpool fans may be wishing for Arsenal to win the league, but today's three points are precious for Liverpool FC and they won't be giving them up easily.

I think that it will be difficult to uphold Arsenal in tonight game as Arsenal is on fire having the best results compared to any team in the Premier League when it comes to the recent games and I think they will be trying to keep the same record untouched meaning they will try to win tonight.A win from Arsenal in this game is a great psychological blow to Manchester City as the number of games remaining until the end of the season just keeps shrinking now.

I would also not call a surprise results if Liverpool won this game as I still remember the 7-0 win of them against Manchester United and they are playing in front of their home fans so any result in this game is acceptable.
