Guys what the heck is going on between Kazakhstan and Denmark? I have no idea what the odds were, I wish I would have checked them just for fun, but they turned a 0-2 until the 73rd minute into a 3-2 for Kazakhstan. The odds have probably been around 100 at minute 70, if not 150.

This shows how unpredictable soccer can also be. I would have never expected that and I haven't read anything so far, but I will watch the summary for sure. If you turn that game around you must have deserved it unless the referee did a bad job, but how bad could a job be such that Denmark loses after a 2-0 lead.

I had them both teams to score as I thought Kazakhstan will at least score a goal.I had in another ticket Denmark to win and holy f*ck if I am shocked when I saw a lost ticket because of this.Truly football is unpredictable and I think Denmark underestimate their opponents after winning 0-2 the first half,they most probably thought that they already secured victory and let the guard down.Of course the referees in every football game impact them for the good or for the bad depending on the case and we all know that every referee gives about 3-5% more fouls and favors a bit more the home team.Even so Denmark showed that they do not deserve to come to the Euro 2024 after this horrible game,well done to Kazakhstan for this historic victory.

One of my favorite teams teams will be playing today.
Akwa Utd vs Shooting Stars. Akwa United has been performing well in the league and tip them to win in this match against shooting stars that had been performing poorly this season. Even when their standings are compared on the table, you would see that Awka United is at the 5th position on the table while their opponent is at 13th position. My bet is on Akwa United.

It looks like it will go this way but from what I have seen from Nigerian Premier League is that surprise results here happen more commonly than in other leagues,in fact the few times I have bet on this league I have always lost money but I don't blame it,I blame me for not following this league that often.In fact I may follow your bet if the odd is good enough,it should be about 1.75 based on the positions you described these teams being on the table.I always like goals betting or both teams to score betting more than I like money lines so an over 2.5 goals can be a good bet since the Shooting Stars is performing poorly.

I really need a clarification on this. Is chasing looses in gambling same as looking for closure because i recently read an article on reddit where the poster said that he will gamble untill he wins just to look for closure. I have been thinking about this for sometime now because closure has the same characteristics with chasing looses which is even when the gambler is loosing he will still be gambling just to recover all his looses.

Source:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gambling/comments/120jc8a/should_i_gamble_until_i_win_so_that_i_can_have_a/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=3&utm_content=share_button

I don't think chasing loses will bring any benefit to a gambler.Gamblers who keep playing,do so for a reason,they are still expecting to hit that huge jackpot or big win otherwise without any objective and motivation closing up on gambling is really easy.To make it further look good most casinos offer you benefits the longer you play with them,with rakeback which is giving you something back for every bet you make at that casino,so if you win,you get some small amount on top of it from rakeback,if you lose,you have that rakeback as a consolation prize.Different strategies keep people gambling but the main one is to hit a huge jackpot or a huge payout.

Today the Portugal MotoGP Full Race will take place soon and my prediction is almost the same as yesterday where the Race will take place fiercely, but from the results of yesterday's Sprint Race I found that Honda Motorbikes this season look very weak and I think Marquez himself is very aware of this so he took advantage of his towing momentum to set the best time and also yesterday he took advantage of another gap on the final lap to get third on the podium when Oliveira overtook Miller at the first corner after the straight.



Since Marquez is out from the second lap already it means that he is well aware of the limiting in his Honda moto this time and he probably pushed to hard going out of track/crashing,the other Repsol Honda is not doing well also.Bagnaia is dominating the race in these first few laps as we are on lap 7 already and there is Aprilia just up there less than 0.5 seconds in gap.It is early to make predictions but it looks like this season is going to be an easy one for Bagnaia as I don't see any other competitor so far bringing serious trouble to him despite being early as I said,as they say the sun can be spotted already early in the morning.

It was an unexpected draw from Croatia. Considering their success in the world cup, they were seen as the favorites of this group. Now a difficult away from Turkey awaits Croatia. If they lose points there too, this group will be one of the most interesting groups. Turkey, Wales and Croatia are the three strong teams of the group. It's hard to predict which two will come out.
To some extent, Wales were lucky, but this does not negate the fact that Croatia will be the leader of this group, in subsequent rounds they will quickly change the situation in their favor. Turkey and Wales will fight for the second place. Croatia created many chances and they should have scored more, but instead Wales' only shot on target became a goal. Good defensive play by Wales also played an important role, but Croatia deserved to win this match.

It is true that Croatia played better, it is not easy to argue otherwise. But Wales also played very smartly, they managed to score points in this match thanks to their last minute goal.
I think all three teams in this group have a chance. The most critical match of the group will be played between Croatia and Turkey. If Turkey wins this match, something unexpected may happen and Croatia may have a chance to leave the group. It will be quite exciting Smiley

I have already warned in this discussion about the fact that Croatia always has problems with the game and the results at the beginning of each qualification.
The tradition of weak results of the Croatian national football team at the beginning of each qualifying cycle continued, but it is excessive to draw some conclusions based on one match.
Croatia has a better and more experienced team than Wales and Turkey, and don't forget that as a participant in the final tournament of the League of Nations, they have a guaranteed place in the additional qualification for the EURO even if they finish third in the group.
I don't think it will come to that and Croatia is still the favorite of this group. They should have routinely won this game, but they didn't have enough concentration at the end of the game and that decided the result.

It looks so but the fact that Wales took a point at Croatia home means they most likely will give them trouble when they will face Croatia at their home in the return leg.Also Turkey is not a weak team either despite being a team with a lot of volatility and a lot of inconsistency it can create problems to any team and they started with a win.The group is easy for Croatia when it comes to qualifying even if they are third in the group but I also do not believe that they will end third in this group.I doubt the players of Croatia will lose this last chance to win a trophy together and go to win the Euro 2024 as they are old and this will be the last tournament they will be playing together.

I live in Australia and we have no taxes on all gambling winnings (lottery, hose racing, sports betting and casinos).
I know the USA has gambling taxes and I think it's ridiculous.
You are risking your own money and if you win you are penalised.
I'm curious as to how many other users have to pay taxes on their winnings.

Where I am they don't tax people who risk their money but they do tax a lot the casinos and gambling houses and this in turn is translated to bigger house edges compared to other countries when talking about casino games which has a house edge.There was a time when the operators wanted to put a percentage tax on sport bet winning tickets like 2-6% of the winning to go to the house but they saw that people left such platforms in favor of ones who did not apply this and as such this was never implemented for real.

When it comes to government forcing taxes on us,no they don't do it,some years ago they ban them completely but people still found ways to play and recently they are not banned anymore.

I'm afraid not, because when you lose -50% you need to double your investment to cover the whole loss. That is to say you need to get +100%. So here to cover half of a -50% drop you would need to earn +50% during the year.

50sat - 50% = 25sat  
25sat + 25% = 31.25sat
(50sat - 31.25sat) / 50sat = 37.5%

This means the loss will be worth -37.5% instead of being -50%. So "only" 25% of the loss will be covered actually.
I'm not saying it's a bad investment, I think the opposite actually, it's a very good one if you are gambling there.

Oh sorry, I meant to say that the returns would cover SOME of the loss, not all of it. Don't worry I knew/know very well I am in a big loss now (50% unrealized, because 25% has not actually been completed).

Although one very important thing to note here is that my original investment was made more than a year ago. So in fact, I have already made my first 25% which expired and reinvested it all in October. So in October 2023, I would have made 56% (25% compounded) on my original investment...

Which still puts me at about 25% loss anyway.

Now the best thing about this is if I reinvest one final year... I'll get close to double my original FUN. Only THEN will I break even at 50% BTC loss.

But get 3 years worth of WoF of course hehe



I think it is better to think in investment terms,the more FUN you make passively and if you can wait that long you will be winning in the long run as the Bitcoin price will surely recover and when the next bull run will come you will be a happy person.I know that now it is a great moment to invest in the site as the price of 1 FUN token is cheaper with the recovery of the price of Bitcoin and anyone can start if they want.

I am doing the same except I prefer a coin which has more potential and better price,I am buying Zilliqa and staking them for 15% during the year,I also have many FUN tokens staked also which means that this is a good strategy investment.

I thought that he was a true lucky person and never thought that it was a scam despite me thinking how come that no other user in the forum have posted such a big win,I checked out the replay and I loved what I saw there,most probably they were playing with FUN money in the casino.This was a sophisticated scam attempt I must admit and the OP bringing this up here is a great example of showing how sophisticated the scams have become.I never play in a casino who asks me to connect my wallet except only in casinos that I can deposit money to their internal wallet,so the lesson to be learned from everyone here at least in my understanding is never play in a casino which asks you to connect your wallet,as it is most likely a scam to drain your wallets.

For instance, you can watch this video explaining how to benefit from a bonus by risking only $0.50 or so...
Is this a good way in your opinion to actually "make money" from gambling or not - what's your opinion?

Don't expect though that even by risking such a low amount, everything is a sure win.

A tournament is really hard to compete in when it's not just you who are eyeing a great position in the leaderboard. Aside from skills, luck is really a big factor to win as you can expect that there are lots of users who will join that tournament. A good way to make money is if the bettor is always doing that and already have good results. Not a good way for those who are not used to doing it.

Make sure to take part in tournaments where if you hit a certain wager requirement you are eligible for a prize.Pragmatic Play with their drop and wins favors the people who have a high balance and play with a low bet in their favorite game,this way the sum of all their bets wagered will be counted and the one with the most wagered amount from 1st to 50 or 100 place will get a prize.This is a really great way for example if you have the intention of playing 500 dollars there with 0.20 or 0.10 bet depending on each of their eligible games for this promotion.I always give a shot despite my max amount played is 50 to 75 dollars,so far I have won once the last prize which was 20 dollars,nothing exceptional but you get the idea.

What the f*ck did Croatia just do.After a spectacular second night for betting where all games came as expected Croatia got and drew at their home field in front of their fans against Wales.This is not a great start to their Euro 2024 campaign and I am not caring much about me losing my bet as I had placed little money in a parlay them with Romania to win but in general,when I just checked now and I saw that my balance did not grow I check my settled bet and saw the 1-1 draw,that is the biggest surprise of tonight results and normally these results will happen as otherwise how will the bookies make money.

Barcelona really want to win the Copa Del Rey title this season, they are very serious about their hopes of getting to the final. Indeed, it is difficult to expect all the titles according to expectations, especially when Real Madrid is the opponent.

The good fact is that Barcelona have proven difficult things to be easy this season. Beating Real Madrid is always difficult, but they have done it 3 times this season which is a fantastic record. I can expect a draw in the second leg of the Copa Del Rey, that's still better than losing and failing to make it to the final.
According head to head against Real Madrid in this season seems have potential for Barcelona winning Copa del Rey trophy in this season after having winning capital on semifinal first leg. Barcelona have advantage for second leg against Real Madrid in Copa del rey because playing home and potential for winning again after success win last games in La Liga from Real Madrid.

Barcelona have consistent performance in this season between La Liga and Copa del rey, but winning 1 goal on first leg still not guarantee with Barcelona get comfortable position with home match because Real Madrid have comeback mentality and winning second leg match.

Didn't Real Madrid just lost against Barcelona in this El Classico for the La Liga not that many time ago,about 2 weeks ago or something similar,Barcelona came back and won the game.They are in a better psychological shape than Real Madrid as they are leading comfortably La Liga and they are not taking part in other competitions like Real Madrid is and they know they are already Champions of La Liga so they will try to win the Copa del Rey too and call it a really good season.Real Madrid on the other hand is focusing exclusively on the Champions League as they know they have no possibilities to win La Liga and I don't think they will sweat a lot in the return leg of Copa del Rey either,they have only one objective now and that is the Champions League.
3872  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: March 25, 2023, 09:16:06 PM
this is not a difficult match for Atalanta to secure 3 points. I'm sure Atalanta will be able to face Cremonese with a big score. this is an important point for Atalanta to continue to secure opportunities to appear in the Champions League next season, and another reason that is no less important is to make Atalanta's players mentally improve after the last few matches did not get maximum points.
Cremonese is a very weak team this season and this is proven by the appearance and achievements of Cremonese themselves, which so far are still at the bottom of the standings. Yes, Atalanta will take advantage of the match at the beginning of next month as a place to get points in full, but Atalanta still have to be focused and consistent because Cremonese can also make a surprise at home against Atalanta so Atalanta doesn't have to take it easy for this match

I don't think Cremonese can surprise Atalanta.  Atalanta will get a comfortable win in this match they will play.  So far, they have scored only 22 goals and conceded 49 goals in the league.  Even this statistical data shows us that they are a team that is prone to conceding goals and that they are problematic defensively.  Football is a game that also contains surprises, but I don't think there will be any surprises in this game.

Cremonese has made quite a lot of surprise results during this season in Serie A,let's just put here they drew against Milan and won against Roma and these are enough big teams compared to Cremonese that any result can happen with a team like Cremonese which is I think already relegated.The players would want to show off great play and performance so they do not end up in Serie B next season and maybe they find a new team.

I also agree though that Atalanta is a team which plays great open football,one of the rare cases beside Napoli during this season and they usually score a lot of goals so I doubt we will see any surprise result and most probably they would win this game.

Agree. Croatia is consistently successful in the World Cups (they are less lucky in the European Championships as they meet the future winners of the tournament in the early stages) and are a strong team in general, so even if Wales is not bad, the quotes are fair.
Yep, competition at EURO is tougher than at WC as you have to beat some very serious team to even get out of the group stage, let alone win the whole tournament. Goode example of that was 2012 Euro when we were in the group with Spain and Italy that were later in the final. Worst of all, we played very good against both of those teams.

With Euro expanding to 24 teams these things will change now though, at least the part about getting out of the group stage.  

edit: well deserved lead Smiley

Third in the group was Croatia  Grin (and by the way they scored only one point less than Italy).
In 2016, Croatia lost in 1/8 to the future champion - Portugal.
In 2020, Croatia lost to Spain (in extra time), which in turn lost to champions Italy in a penalty shootout.
In fact Croatia is an incredibly strong team with very good results. It is a pity that they could not take some kind of title, but this generation of players will be remembered by everyone for a long time to come.

Quite natural 1-0 after the first half and Croatia dominates in all respects.

I think this upcoming Euro is their last time around to try and get a trophy as their players are already of old age and most probably this will be their last tournament that they will play together before leaving the field to new talented players as Croatia has many of them ready to take over.

Wales is not a team to underestimate though despite me choosing Croatia and Romania as my bet of tonight as both teams are winning,I only regret not putting more money on them as I knew they would be almost sure bets.

It will be sure difficult for Tuchel to take a breather now if the whole club is eyeing him to make a progress this season, I think that is not a great time that the team is having now, and a bad time now that they are in the middle of the season, I really think that Bayern Munich should not let their emotions on Julian Nagelsmann, he is partially have started this season and I think he is formulating great tactics for the championship but surely it was not enough, I truly wish that Bayern Munich would not resort in such things but yeah it is their decision to do it,


He got appointed in a very delicate moment for Bayern Munchen.He is between two fires,if he does not manage to qualify against Manchester City which for me qualifying against them will be a very difficult task,beside that he got the management of the team right after they lost a game in a really bad way against Leverkussen and together with that they also lost the lead.Tuchel is a great coach and I like him for what he did in the previous teams he managed but I think he needs time before he harmonizes the team to a certain level that they are capable of fighting for the Bundesliga at least,Bayern also have high aims in the Champions now so he was a courageous man to accept the offer of Bayern Munchen.

Quote
Thomas Tuchel will receive contracts in the next hours to sign as new Bayern coach — contract will be valid until June 2025, two year & half deal as expected. #FCBayern

First training session, on Monday.

Tuchel didn’t hesitate — he was leading candidate and wanted the job.

I think this decision was very sudden especially because Julian Nagelsmann has successfully brought Bayern Munich to this stage. But good, this is good news for Manchester City and not bad news.
I read in an article Guardiola have a five wins against Tuchel in their ten matches, meanwhile Tuchel was only able 3 wins and the rest match with a draws. This is a good statistics for Guardiola, also current Manchester City squad is really great, so I also assume that is good news for Manchester city. Previously I predicted Bayern Munich would be able to stop Manchester City in UCL, but now I'm not too sure.
The past records of the coaches involved has always been a good way of predicting their matches,  but I don't think Guardiola vs Tuchel record will be a good way of measuring the possible outcome for this season UEFA champion league clash between Bayern and Manchester city.
Personally  I see that Bayern Munich sacked their coach not just for a rejuvenation in the domestic league performance but also for this purpose. In a thousand count I will bet on bayern to win this match.

Tuchel will have hard days because first, he needs to use his own tactics for a few games and make Bayern Munich ready for important games like the Manchester City match and then he has to try to have a better relationship with players Neuer and build what Nagelsmann destroyed in this team, it will need some time and I guess Bayern Munich will lose some games until that time.

The fact that they lost to Bayern Leverkussen has add up to Bayern going to such drastic measures which are rarely done before by Bayern Munchen management.Tuchel is a great coach as he has managed big teams like Chelsea and Paris Sg and he surely has the experience needed in order to put up a good fight against Manchester City.

However I do not agree with such move before such an important event as the Champions League game which the players may not behave as usual and Tuchel may have difficulties in harmonizing the team to his liking before this game,so this is a dangerous move that Bayern management have done.

I have finally a new favorite slot and guess from which provider,yes you guessed it from Play n Go,this time is Clash of Camelot with a x35.000 max win which means with 0.10 EUR bet you can get 3500 EUR and that is a great amount.However it is not the max win that amazes me,it is like in most cases the bonus round,in here if you happen to have the two main characters appear which become wild in the full first reel and the last one they then start fighting and add wilds randomly to the field,usually two which are enough to create really good wins,but if sometimes they go to three wilds the maximum then the prizes get even bigger.During the bonus round choose either 10 free spins with x 5 multiplier or 5 free spins with x 10 multiplier and if you happen to hit the two main characters you will enjoy huge winnings.Highly recommended but keep in mind the bonus round here compared to other Play n Go slots falls on the reel much more rarely.

Here's my prediction about the match Manchester City vs Liverpool, I'm really sure Manchester City will beat Liverpool easily because:
1. The match will happen on Manchester City's home.
2. A lot good Liverpool's players are currently injured: Gakpo, Nunez, Alcantara, and Henderson. Klopp will let Firmino, Jota and Salah to play, as we know both Jota and Firmino were never played for 90 minutes full.
3. Haaland is injured, but it doesn't mean the other Manchester City's strikers are bad, Grealish, Foden and Mahrez were having good performance.

The huge margins won by Liverpool doesn't convince me to say Liverpool is really that good, it's just an one match.

You can never judge a player who has not played the full 90 minutes.This can be a huge motivation to such players to give their 101% at the field and do well in order to be noted by Klopp the manager as they are good fits who may deserve to play more minutes.The names of Jota,Firmino and Salah compared to Grealish,Foden and Mahrez for me are much better and I am talking objectively here and not as a Liverpool fan.Haaland plays a great role in giving the team those forward moments and goals which have given them so many points despite not being consistent.For me draw is the most likely result in that game and I am going to play Liverpool win or draw if the odds are good enough.

With the big victory that the French national team won, there was a big problem from the Dutch defense and I saw so much pressure and the French national team made good use of it, at least the betting market was happy with the French victory because this was easy to predict.

Lukaku made a hat trick, this is also a topic of conversation after he was not very good for a long time due to his injury, will Inter Milan change their minds about Lukaku's future with this appearance?

Well, the results of last night's match were quite pleasant because the bets that were placed won.

Yes, it was a good evening, Lukaku is gradually returning to the peak of his form, I don’t know how this can affect, in my opinion he is doing well, he has a permanent place in the team, his goal brought Inter to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, so he has everything fine. By the way, Mbappe also continues to demonstrate his high level, France wins as expected, I also expected goals scored from the Netherlands, but this did not happen.

Really surprised for the worse from a Netherlands side that did very well in the last World Cup and seeing them lose like 4-0 is a great red flag which indicates that may be Van Gal era should come to an end,his notebook and his notes is finally time that they go away from soccer as I never understood the point of it when you can rewatch the game later on  Grin.France showed super performance yesterday night again and they remain the main favorite to win this Euro 2024 as they are on fire with all of their star players.

For Belgium it is great seeing them win with such ease in Sweden home,something even Italy could not do not that many years ago when Italy had a strong team but they were out of the Euro because of Sweden.

It is written as the best in history for Verstappen, by teenagers who have been watching f1 for 2-3 years. This man may be a good pilot, but he will never reach the level of a Schumi, an Alonso or a Hamilton. Look, I didn't even say lauda senna prost. He fought with schumi senna and hakinen with the best williams in history and got out of the way. He's done with someone like Alonso Schumi. Even Hamilton, whom I was pissed off, beat Alonso in his rookie year and lost the championship by 1 point. The vehicle this friend is driving is the best vehicle in history and there is neither a team nor a car to compete against. Now they will say that Perez is getting into the same car. Anyone with a little f1 culture knows that vehicles in f1 are designed and developed according to the 1st driver. If this friend's teammate were not Perez but a man of Rosberg quality, he would make a mess of Max. Unfortunately, a vehicle that can compete with the redbull does not seem to come out for another 2-3 years, and we will watch the past years with redbull dominance, and we will watch boring seasons such as 2000 - 2004 and 2014 - 2020.

Why do you say he will never reach the level of a Schumacher, Alonso or a Hamilton? These three people are indeed seniors in F1 but that does not mean that Verstappen will not reach their level, it just takes time for Verstappen to reach or even pass their level. Verstappen has all the resources needed to reach the highest performance point of an F1 driver, and that's what keeps his performance stable. Even during the previous race he was in P15, but he still managed to reach P2 and that proves his determination to be the best. Moreover, it is not good to compare past F1 drivers with current ones, because everyone has their own time.

Right now I think he has all the possibilities to become as good as Schumi and I think he is already better than Hamilton,in the 2021 season where car were almost the same it was only Verstappen bravery that brought him the title no matter that it were contested in the final race,I am talking about all season long,Mercedes were slightly better at that season and yet he manage to win so by doing it he has increased his self confidence to another level as shown in 2022 where he won easily the title.Now in 2023 let's see how it goes but he surely look posed to become 3 times World Champion which immediately puts him a step ahead of Alonso.

The big problem of ETH is centralization now,people or better validators need to have 32 ETH staked in order to validate transaction,just look at the number of wallets of ETH that have over such amount which is low compared to the majority of wallets that have less than 0.10-0.20 ETH and they are what I call now "burned" or "eliminated" wallet as they don't win anything.Now who guarantees me that a bunch of people do not buy so much ETH that they stake a lot of such 32 ETH or much more as you know,the people having more ETH staked means they have higher chances to be called and come and validate transactions,now tell me if this is not centralization please tell me what is and how such a project can be a threat to Bitcoin which is years of light ahead in decentralization?

Obviously with the current set up, Ethereum is highly centralized and yes Bitcoin still remains the king, but I was just comparing Ethereum to other altcoins. It's way too popular than most of them.

Another thing is most people that came into the cryptocurrency scene especially during and after the ICO boom don't care much about decentralization unlike the crypto OGs. Most of them are just after getting rich quick, so they will bank on whatever coin/token they can.

It's why centralized shitcoins like Ripple were at one point even second in terms of marketcap. If so many people really cared about some degree of decentralization (POW) vs centralization (POS). The likes of Litecoin, Monero, Ethereum Classic would be somewhere close to Bitcoin and not shitcoins like BNB.

Well,this is a big problem then,people doing what they do in normal life like grabbing whatever opportunity not caring much about how this affect other people is a big problem.Litecoin is still doing great with Monero and even Ethereum Classic at some point so I am not worried for them,my main point was how come people that have been like myself for years in the crypto can jump on and support a centralized coin like ETH is now while we were all amazed by Bitcoin when it first came out as that decentralization of Bitcoin was key point?

Bottom line is based on what I am reading here is that people will never change and greed always gets the best of them,such a pity.
