Kylian Mbappé has been appointed as the new captain of the French national team. I don’t really know how I feel about this appointment considering the fact that they’re other eligible candidates like Antoine Griezmann and Oliver Giroud who has been in the team for quiet a long time. But I also understand that its not just Coach’s decision. Players also have a voice on who should lead them. He has been phenomenal for France lately, but giving him the armband is too much even for him. I feel there are other old and experience players in the team.
I think that he is the best player for France and it was thanks to him that France got to the penalties in the final against Argentina this last world cup as without him France would have probably not even a shot on goal on that game.Things have changed now and despite the old players being usually captains now there is a new trend which the captain usually becomes the best player of the team and I think France has made the right decision to appoint Mbappe as their captain.He surely is one of the most talented players in the world and he fully deserve this title despite his young age. |

Maybe thinking like what you are experiencing because of a bad experience in the past that made you lose all your funds. In fact, you don't need to do this if the bonus you can get is not commensurate with what has been spent.
After all, bonuses are shown for those who are willing and interested in getting them even though they have to spend money first to get these bonuses.
Casinos provide bonuses with the aim of being able to attract more gamblers' attention so they are interested in playing there, but on the other hand casinos also don't want to experience losses from giving bonuses that are carried out, so they provide special requirements to continue to be able to benefit from giving these bonuses.
It is a good choice if you prefer to keep betting with your balance because that way it can give you more confidence and you will always control your finances when betting.
The key is if you have a good control with your bankroll, taking the bonuses and consider the wagering requirement might be possible to take if you know how to balance your gambling activities, there are people who can deal with this kind of challenge but if you will sum it up casino still have the upper hand as while you are trying to wager house edge is also killing you when playing much longer time frame. casino always win , I know that there are some who can take against casino houses but we also knew that majority will take it from us, casino are created to take our money and we must admit that reality so better to accept that fact . We can control our our bankroll but even how long or short we played yet the casino will win in the end . That is only true if we keep playing games like slot machines,dice,plinko and other types of luck based games only.If we are patient enough,keep our control on our bankroll and play skill games like Poker or sport betting then we greatly extend our chances to make it and to win extra money from the casino,as in the first place this is why we register in a casino,to play and have fun but also to grow our balance. I personally am trying to play little Litecoin on big parlays,a ticket in sport betting with 3-7 games and so far I have been successful overall as one win equal to more than 5-6 lost tickets,so we can have our chances is my point here. |

It is not like everyone is going after crypto gambling but after COVID-19 the business of online gambling has increased more than offline gambling. Although fiat online gambling users are more than crypto ones, they tend to visit an offline casino after a few online sessions as they miss the atmosphere of an offline casino.
Whereas cryptocurrency casino users would always be loyal & habitual which makes them more addicted to gambling than a fiat gamblers. Below listed are the three reasons which I think make them more inclined.
1. Immediate gratification:
One explanation could be the immediate and continuous enjoyment that bitcoin gaming offers, whether you win or lose. A cryptocurrency can be swiftly converted into fiat currency or other cryptocurrencies, as opposed to traditional gambling, which typically calls for cash or chips, what I am referring to here is offline gambling. This feeling of immediate satisfaction can increase excitement and encourage players to keep playing.
2. Anonymity:
The amount of privacy gained by gambling with cryptocurrencies is unbelievable! Non-KYC platform, which is common may make some people feel more secure since they can offer a level of secrecy and security that more traditional forms of gambling cannot. This sense of anonymity may make it easier for individuals to engage in risky or addictive behaviors without fear of being judged or identified.
3. Thrill of volatility:
We are all aware of how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is, with prices varying quickly and erratically. Some people may become addicted to the "high-risk, high-reward" mentality as a result of this volatility. Even though it may result in severe financial loss, they may get high from taking chances and placing large wagers.
Do you guys think my assessment is to the point or do you think there are more reasons related to cryptocurrency gambling addiction? Please go ahead and reply to this thread. If you have a valid point that I think is related to this thread then I would add it to this topic.
In FIAT casinos,the most well known ones like Bet365 and alike they have something in common,they limit your account if you win more than 3000-4000 EUR overall and not in just a single bet,they don't give a damn if you lose though as they let you lose as much as you can.In crypto casinos not only they don't limit your account for nothing like FIAT ones do but they do pay enormous amounts of money,much more than the FIAT ones do,for example I have seen payouts of over 350 Ethereums from a sport bet parlay that the bet was about 13 Ethereums,meaning the limits are much higher,so beside agreeing with everything you wrote,I would add these two. |

Hey Igebotz, I can't remember where I said it, but I was asking Chelski to please thump Real Madrid... and the bearers of destiny answered this call.
I'll back Chelsea here, both in betting and in predictions. Easy for me, right?
Also somewhat disappointed with the draws, but I do feel like it could have been a bit more exciting, some missed opportunities but it's all random, of course, right? Heh
yes, but be rest assured that whatever the outcome between Real - Chelsea, Bayern- Man city we are still going to have a shitty one sided final with these draws. That being said, we are going to teach LiVARpool how to play Real Madrid; the last time we defeated them, we won the league, and the last time they defeated us, they also won the league; our record against Real Madrid is very good; we have the better head-to-head record; I'm not too confident going against them, but the last time we elimilated them, we were also struggling in the league and we did wonders. Kante will be available and that gives some level of hope. It is a long time that we don't have such shitty final that in turn could turn into a great one where the so called "under dog" can make the so called "heavy favorite" suffer a lot as the final is just one game and you never know how the game takes you with it,it can happen to any team to have problems,even the bigger ones that they cannot get themselves together in the beginning of the game and they may concede a goal.I know for sure though that Chelsea in Champions have won several years ago when they were not the favorite and they eliminated Real Madrid back then,I think they can do it again and yeah Chelsea will play much more calm than Real will do as no one expects anything from that at this stage. |

Exactly I have the same analysis there is almost no way to displace Napoli from the top of the standings especially when Inter lost today
Napoli is 99% certain to secure the title this season and while fighting for the Champions League Napoli is a team that can go through these 2 competitions without a burden I mean they can share focus on each competition.
We can say Napoli is 100% to win Serie A title this season because no other teams have a chance to pass Napoli points. Napoli played consistently so far, they keep winning the matches. On the contrary, other teams played inconsistently and they too many missed points. This is a contradictory situation, so it is impossible for other teams to chase 19 point gap made by Napoli. For UCL, Napoli surely has a chance to win it as well. But I think it is a bit difficult because they must fight with stronger teams from other leagues. They can focus on both competitions, but the chance to win in UCL looks smaller than Serie A. Napoli is favored as they will face either Benfica or either Inter if they qualify against Milan which I think is something doable for them despite Milan having much more experience than them in Champions League as they have won it several times while Napoli has not that big of an experience in this competition.The form of both teams in Italy Serie A is totally different with Milan screwing it up and being in really bad run recently with a draw at home against Salernitana and a lost game this weekend against Udinese while Napoli is crushing every single team and the lost games that they had I think they just didn't care much as the points difference allows them to do what they like. |

As long as gambling sites pay you commission or offer you some sort of bonus and benefits then people will keep promoting gambling sites.Imagine someone being super at affiliate marketing and that he manages to bring 1000 people under his name in a casino where this casino pays let's say 10 to 25% commission of every bet of each active referrals this guy has brought to the casino.It means a great passive income to him and what better than to bring people that love gambling anyway to a new platform,so for people who are business minded the affiliate marketing and promotion of gambling sites will continue as long as this venture brings them net substantial profit.

I can tell you that Play'n Go is a well-known provider of online casino games, including slot machines, with a reputation for creating high-quality and engaging games. The high multiplier you achieved on Rise of Olympus is not uncommon for slot games, which frequently offer the possibility of large payouts and exciting gameplay experiences.
However, it should be noted that the outcome of slot games is determined by random chance and cannot be predicted. While you may have had a good time playing new Play'n Go slot games, it's important to remember to gamble responsibly and set limits for yourself.
I played these games numerous times, but I never received a large multiplier.
Maybe there are really some lucky gamblers who got the chance to create large multipliers through Play’n Go games but to be honest, even myself still find it hard to win here. But I still see myself playing most of the slot games because I see good chances here to experience huge profits, as long as I’m lucky enough. However, knowing that slot games are purely based on luck and chances, at least we should only gamble our spare money, that is to avoid regretting when you’re at loss. They sure are.I envy that guy who won maximum prize on Stake at Green Knight,that x10.000 maximum win on 4 March 2023 and you can check there under Lucky Wins that guy is the one who hit the best prize from this game.I envy him because rarely Play n Go gives you the maximum win,they give you 1000-2000 or a bit more but they rarely go up to that limit,they are different compared to other providers like Pragmatic Play and No Limit City which gives their maximum prize of a slot machine more often but rarely you get x1000-2000 there,Play n Go gives you more often the x1000-2000 prize so they are unique in this.It is totally based on randomness and luck,there is no other parameter,but I have played Play n Go games from 2020 to 2023 now and never got the max win. |

This Chelsea team is just not ready to make any changes in terms of play or even the line up, Potter is just responsible for all that's happening to the Blues at the moment, is as if he's clueless. I wonder how he's going to manage the team against Real Madrid that's not even happy with their current situation.
Well, let see if after this break if G.Potter can get the best of advice or he can go back and watch some of those matches he lost and then correct his errors. IMO I don't want Potter to be fired, let him learn how to manage a big club instead of running off the club.
Real Madrid showed signs of weakness in La Liga against Barcelona yesterday night and this can be a good wish for Chelsea,as Chelsea has won the Champions League when they were not at all favorites many years ago.For Potter and their behavior in Premier League,it surely needs to be improved and addressed but as I have said before if he is not sacked it means that the club management trusts him and they will be having him even for the next season,if he fails to bring result also during next season,then firing him is an inevitable thing.Chelsea needs to harmonize as they have a lot of players,they just need time nothing more. |

Have you ever noticed that despite the silly move and decision made by Vitalik people still like Ethereum?
Yes, it's only miners that hate it because it can't be mined anymore. A bit of a reality check on the importance of mining to the success of a coin. It's not as if all miners hate Ethereum, I am a ETH miner too and I switched to other coins when ETH changed their algorithm to Proof of Stake, I never hated Ethereum because of this, miners saw it coming as this news have been spreading over for the past years, so Ethereum devs did very well to have given enough time to miners. You are right, not all ETH miners hate the decision made by Vitalik and for the record, the decision ought to be made a long time ago before the ETH2.0 was delayed. Despite all the storyline behind ETH's switch to POS some miners won't like the decision because it's giving a taste of something they don't like. I never said all. But miners were most affected so miners were most against it. The point was miners' inflated sense of importance and effect on the success of ETH. There were threats/predictions it would crash and die without miners. Never happened. Does not mean that it will not die.Name a PoS coin which had a great success.The reason why ETH is still popular is that there are a lot of people with a lot of such coin that they had from mining from many years and never sold it,they are now the ones who validate the transactions through PoS and once these guys get fed up with the empty promises of Butekin I am confident we will finally see the ETH demise,ETH was so popular just because of mining for most part,despite offering a platform where to build DeFi apps and alikes,now no one cares except these guys. |

I finally find GTX 1660 super for 110$ each, something I have wised for before the end of Ethereum mining, tell me how this is not an attractive deal right now, I also read that mining more than one coin on a Graphic card is the best way to make profits out of them, the question have right now is how good this card is for multiple coins mining.
I would build a rig with 10-12 of such cards for almost 1800 dollars in total but only if I have them sitting around or won them from mining or other activities beside my salary.The reason is simple and that is 12 such cards will only consume about 700 watt plus the parts in total 800-850 watt and that is not a big problem no matter the electricity,you can get more than 300 Mhsh of hash power and dual mine ETC+ZIL or ETHW+ZIL or if you feel like it ETHF+ZIL,and in turn you can make a good amount of crypto daily,notice that I didn't say a good amount of fiat money,when the next bull run will come you would be happy,meanwhile you can stake the ZIL you make to get 15% extra in a year. With that setup right now you make near 0.30 ETHW daily and about 10-11 ZIL daily,as I said in FIAT money they are nothing,but who knows what they are worth in the next bull run,so only invest if you are in for the long run and not the quick buck. |

It's ridiculous, Alonso got 10 second time penalty for not serving penalty correctly. Ok, rules are rules, but why did they waited so long to make decision and announced it after podium? So, now Russel becomes 3rd. Perez is doing great in city circuits, it's his 5th win, 4 of them were achieved in street circuits. Don't know why they even called this a safety car.
Stroll was outside the track, now Max got an huge advantage and he will probably win.
For me it also looked strange. Virtual Safety car or even yellow flag would be enough. It helped a lot for Max and with fastest lap he keeps 1st place in championship. That is stupid and intentional,first of all how did they know that they didn't touch the car to become ready and not to gain an advantage but they read it as gaining an advantage which was not the case and this clearly shows the impact that the Mercedes team still has on the FIA together with Redbull who got a Safety Car for nothing,they even justified it that it was because of the GPS saying Stroll parked the car on track,ridiculous decisions during this race which impacted the race for the worse,I think that Alonso fully deserved the podium but that is racing. |

Lazio's narrow win at home over their opponent Roma, made Maurizio Sarri's squad secure full points in this match. As I thought earlier, this match would be very boring and it is likely that the match will end in a narrow score or draw. But indeed, Lazio, which lately always gets minor results, finally won again in important matches. For Roma, they are still struggling to achieve victory in their last few matches and their position in 5 standings will begin to be threatened.
For me Lazio was the favorite in this game seeing their recent form which they have been playing well in Serie A and Roma had a lot of inconsistency and losing to teams like Cremonese and Sassuolo was a big red flag for me,I placed Lazio win or draw at 1.53 just to be sure but I was fully confident that they would win the derby of tonight.They played better and deserved the win,Roma did not show anything and even got a red card to make things worse for them.Lazio fully deserves the second place while they wait for the Inter vs Juventus game to finish,I only wonder why they could not beat Az Alkmar in Conference League as surely they are much better than them but I think events decided that clash and Lazio was unlucky. |

Seems excited behind 10 points left on standing position but PSG left 0-2 right now until 53th minutes from Rennes, will be different later if PSG loss points and another game Marseille win from Reims will start few hours later. I hope have any team can stop with PSG points in Ligue 1 and seems boring when looking the winner Ligue 1 tittle dominance every years by PSG.
if the score is 0-2 last until the last minute seems excited for marseille winning match against Reims, have bigger motivation make close position with PSG on standing and up coming next games PSG have loss points again until Marseille can back to the top standing position although with little chance. I don't want to talk too much about PSG's loss because I think they are really having problems defensively because there are a lot of players on the injury list. It is known that a number of PSG defenders have suffered injuries, including Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos and Presnel Kimpembe. While I would not think the defeat to Rennes would make PSG in danger of losing the Ligue 1 title this season. PSG are still 9 points ahead of Lens or maybe 7 points ahead of Marseille if the last team wins the match against Reims. Well it is difficult to understand such lost games from Paris with all the super star players they have in their composition.It is most likely that they do not give a damn now because they are some points forward and they have enough time to make such tricks like not caring if they lose a game or two.The second place is already 9 points behind and if Marseille will win tonight the difficult game they have against Reims they will still be 7 points behind PSG which they need 3 games to recover.Now we are in March and there is not much time but I think Paris is just making the Ligue 1 more interesting to watch,in the end they are going to win it as always so they cannot call this a failed season. |

-snip If there is anyone who has some other recommendation about the prize distribution system they can write to the thread.  distribution seems fair, although I would like to see more players rewarded, maybe up to position 10 it would scale down top3 rewards, but would get more people satisfied with prize pool nevertheless, it is good as it is as well back to race, Max is back to position 2, and Alonso is close to another podium The race just ended and I found the exact persons on the podium but I would have got the yellow cap if Verstappen was first and Perez second,nevertheless happy that Verstappen did the fastest lap in the end of the race which I think has given me enough points to enjoy for this second race and consolidate my position in the standings of this pool. While the race was entertaining to watch as Verstappen started 15th I think that we all realized tonight that Redbull is going to win every single race of this season if other cars do not sweat out at work,Redbull was more than one second faster than Aston Martin which was the second fastest car from the field. |

Things can be really interesting after this goal scored by Leverkusen just now. They have scored a penalty and got 2-1 ahead in the match now.
The first half was really awkward. Bayern Munich had only one goal attempt in the whole half but still they managed to finish the half 1-0 ahead. In the second half Bayern Munich started to keep the match more balanced. But this time Leverkusen have made a really incredible comeback now. Their job won't be easy about keeping this advantage to the end truthfully. But if they do Dortmund will finish a week as the leader for the first time after a long time I assume. This will be very important for Dortmund on the road to the title.
I think now Dortmund will be very happy with Bayern screwing it up real big.In fact I was extremely surprised when they got the advantage as Leverkussen were dominating completely the game,4-0 with corners and also with shots on goal compared to Bayern Munchen and Munchen got the first goal.Of course I must say that the referee had some impact on this game as he gave two penalties to Leverkussen as without them Leverkussen had difficulties to score despite dominating the game.I never have seen a worse Bayern Munchen than the one of tonight and they will lose this game based on their performance with just 5 minutes of game remaining. |

Don't know why they even called this a safety car.
Stroll was outside the track, now Max got an huge advantage and he will probably win.
They justified themselves by saying that we put the Safety Car in because in the GPS we saw it saying that the Aston Martin has been parked on track and that is why they put the Safety Car in.That was a clearly huge advantage to Max Verstappen but at least Perez did not lose his lead like he did on last year where he lost the lead because he entered the pits 1 lap before the Safety Car coming in.Even if it was no Safety Car I think Max Verstappen would have managed to come third or second,that Redbull looks like another planet,when it surpassed another car Verstappen made it look like F1 vs F2 while F2 I am referring to the other cars,not a single car being able to hold him off,it will be a boring season for us fans. |

Gambling or betting is moving beyond just casinos and sports to other sectors of the economy. There is a thread here on betting for the 2024 United States election, and another one for the Oscars. I have seen people bet on movie characters and all sorts of things. This is not to say that they are addicted to gambling. I think we do it for fun, as a form of socializing. While thinking about it today, I wondered what the strangest bet I had ever had was. I remembered having a bet with my brother that he would give me $80 if I could eat 5 packs of 200g of instant noodles in less than 5 minutes, and if I couldn't, I would give him $90. What is the strangest bet you have ever had?
Luckily I have not done any strange bets as I don't seem to remember having done such bet.I am a conservative in almost everything that I do and as such mostly I play sport bets or slot machines but luckily I don't feel anymore the urge to keep playing slot machines anymore as there is no point,you can't become rich with them while I think with sport betting if done consistently and not with obsession you can make a nice decent amount of extra money every month,this is only my theory though which in practice has not come true  . Some people have bet that they will eat sh*t of someone else if they lost what they called a sure bet,but that is clearly disgusting and I don't think I can call these species human beings,humanity has done a lot of stupid things unfortunately. |

In just over an hour we will start the race in Saudi Arabia. We have many questions, but the key question is how will Verstappen do from 15th place? That can go either way. it will also depend on how many places he can take up with the start, 14 cars in front of you is very difficult to get close right away. Actually, only Perez is really better now, not as a driver but purely because of the fact that he can start 1st later. Also great for Alonso that he is doing so well in the Aston Martin. Leclerc did well in qualifying but the engine was tinkered with so was moved back 10 places. Top speeds of 240 km per hour are reached on this circuit. That's really very very fast.
I think Verstappen is just going to win this. I think they were 1.5 seconds per lap faster than Mercedes in free practice and in the GP, which says something. It is a dangerous circuit because of these high speeds, Max is the one who can handle this best and would still drive through the streets at 500 km per hour if he had to. No other driver dares to ride with such risk and precision, which also sets him apart from the rest. We shouldn't be surprised if Verstappen is already in the first 3 after 10 laps, and then it's countdown. But for Perez it would also be nice to stay ahead of his teammate. Tricky mission for Leclerc from 12th. Verstappen can only win this race if he is helped by a Safety Car as there is no other possibility under normal race conditions as Perez who will start first surely will make a distance no matter that Verstappen is faster than him.He is faster than Perez but they have the same car,so he can only be faster from 0.3-0.5 seconds per lap and this on a very optimistic prediction.Nevertheless all of our doubts will be shortly answered as just 15 minutes from now the race will start.What is nice is that maybe Alonso can overtake Perez in the start which would make the race much but much better to watch then,Alonso is not that fast compared to Redbull so he can play a role in shortening the distance between the cars. |

Do we have a distribution for our Prediction Pool money already @CLS63?
All payments should be in right now and maybe we can give out rewards to all Top 5 positions in our pool?
Maybe make it 50% / 25% / 12.5% / 7.5% and 5% each?
Or only Top 3?
Opinions?
Hello friends. The prize distribution system in my mind for the pool is like this now: 1) 55mbtc 2) 36mbtc 3) 20mbtc 4) 10mbtc 5) 5mbtc 6) 5mbtc(minus tx fees) If there is anyone who has some other recommendation about the prize distribution system they can write to the thread. For me looks perfectly fine but if we want to include like 8-10 prize spots we can also go down the first prize to 40 and second prize to 30 mBtc and distribute these 21 mBtc to the 7-10 prize which can be 3-5 mBtc this way we increase the number of people who win something here.Of course it is much better when we have bigger prizes but if you have a look at the English Premier League pool you will see that the captain there has gone for like 35% of people to get at least something.If we can do that here also it can greatly increase the interest of participants for next season. I fully agree with yours though,just adding a suggestion  . |

Am I the only idiot who placed a bet on Real Sociedad at home who is playing against last place in the standings who is already relegated and they are not able to win while already near the end of the first half.I think that they are not playing that concentrated as the only dangerous attack so far in this first half up until now has been from Elche and it was thanks to Real Sociedad goalkeeper that the result is still 0-0.My further bad move is that I placed Real Sociedad in every ticket that I placed bets today and that is a mistake I should learn from,never to put a game in all my tickets but it looked a sure win on paper for Real Sociedad.
