I think it is a relatively good plan.I live in a Muslim country for quite some years now and although it is one of those countries where the majority of population is Muslim most of them do not really care about religion here,anyway I want to point out that the price of Hajj has increased dramatically from what I hear here,now they ask for 4000 EUR for a single person,for an agency to do everything for you.

Maybe you should do the same for your mother,after you collect money after a couple of years with that plan you should be able to achieve what you want and as such you buy your mother the full package needed to do that holy ritual.

I would go a really simple way for exchanging not huge amounts or even huge amounts that have no urgency and can be taken out little by little.This can be done easily by sending money to a casino wallet,play there for fun some money and then withdraw to a new wallet,this way it is almost impossible to trace your Bitcoins or any other currency supported by the casino platform.Of course I am talking here about people with an emphasize on privacy and no criminals which they want all money as soon as they can,for them without mixers it is quite difficult.
563  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Justin Jon Said Ethereum is More Decentralized Than Bitcoin on: February 24, 2024, 12:29:29 PM
I don’t understand the whole decentralization comparison when it is crystal clear the bitcoin nodes and how it works explain a true decentralized network, just any one can be part of the node but that doesn’t relay to Ethereum chain where validators are mostly the center of attention for the network decision making which defeats the whole point of decentralization.

That is crystal clear that the validators in Ethereum network can be a bunch of gangs who happen to be near the founder of Ethereum and they have the right to validate,most people,most normal people do not have over 32 Ethereum to validate transactions so they are somewhat chosen ones and they can have an outcome and impact on the road map of the Ethereum in general,the Dapps were great at sometime ago yet I have not seen such activity lately or maybe I have missed them so in reality they are not decentralized at all let alone to be better decentralized than Bitcoin,that is pure nonsense.

Those who bet on sports betting will only bet on matches that they know and can analyze. it will show what chance of winning they can get. It doesn't matter what the results of the bet will be, but those who bet on sports bets will not place bets on teams whose strengths they don't know.
Indeed, you can rely on luck, but gamblers also don't just bet on ongoing matches.
Usually, it won't just be one match, at the weekend you can see several big leagues being played, and several bets can be made. The most important thing is to bet when we know the opportunities we can get.
You can't rely on luck when it comes to sports betting, you are supposed to know which side has more chances of winning the game and place your bet accordingly, luck doesn't have that big of an influence when it comes to sports betting, so you can't place random bets and expect to win most of them just by luck, if someone is doing that, they are doing the wrong thing.

Those who rely on luck should stick to gambling games, why get into sports betting in the first place?  Tongue Sports betting is for those who know they understand a specific sport very well and they know they can predict the outcomes of the games very accurately most of the time.

I agree with you,those people who play sport betting know a lot more than those who keep relying on luck games.The people who don't care and want just to try their luck they go and hit the spin button in slot machines while people playing a bit in a more intelligent way they go to sport betting and try to maximize their chances by choosing different games in their multi ticket.The more games they add it is true the less the chance to win so the perfect balance is a ticket with 4-5 games and games that people have studied them a lot,this will increase their chances to be winners more often than not in the long term,yet very few persons if at all are able to achieve such results.

Even if Redbull truly loses these heads of the team who has greatly contributed to their success so far based on the car they have for the 2024-2025 season they can easily win as long as Max is driving for them,as for Perez I have really high doubts about him winning a Championship even with the best car.

The big problem that we saw from the testing is,Max is over 1 second faster in testing although he said it is only testing compared to the second best car,now if these results carry over for real in the season which I believe they will do then we are going to see the same season of 2023 repeating the same pattern.

Of course when you are under heavy drugs you don't really think.I live in a country where life is cheap and these guys who are killers and get caught by the police they always say the same thing,"before I killed him,I was heavily drinking wine with drugs" so you get some additional courage from these drugs and you don't care to go all in and lose it all.You only realize this once the drug effect is off and you get a lot of regrets.
567  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Outcomes of insighting gambling for a source of income. on: February 24, 2024, 09:51:44 AM
So I caught my friend up having gambling as a source of making incomes.
Few days ago, I went to my friends place and met him with a strange face to me, so sudden their language changed in a way I wouldn't understand. The both were talking about hustles which the other guy ask my friend that Are you not running the other hustle anymore"? So my friend replied"I do but I have lost a lot this time just after I made my last cashout" which he analysed different values and occasions he had won. The other guy told him not to stop trying that it is sometimes like that and so is the nature of the business.
I knew they were up to gambling discussion but they never wanted me to know about it.
I never see gambling as a bad activity unless you gives yourself up to it in controlling your emotions. So I think these two guys knew they were at the wrong side of it that is why they never wanted me to know they were into gambling.
Just in, he is on medical attention after he slumped as a result of loosing a borrowed fund meant for a business re-startup after the gamble made him squandered his previous business.
At his regained to a normal state of health, he explained that he thought he would be lucky to win at the stake so as he could expand his intended business with a bigger capital.
At a point I don't see any business oriented ideal in this Friend because $1,000 ls good enough for a start of lucrative businesses.

You can have an online site hustle if you have 1000 dollars and of course I am not going to tell you which one as there are plenty of them,you just have to be careful to do your own research to not fall into scam as also scams online are in huge quantity.If they were talking as gambling with 1000 dollars and considering it as business that is the worse of all the ideas as that money can go as soon as just three days.

Therefore they should stop right away as if they continue their medical health condition will get worse and worse as that is the only way if you keep gambling and considering it as a business no matter what "strategy" you apply to it.
568  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Difference between afford to lose and can't afford to lose. on: February 23, 2024, 07:24:25 PM
The amount that can be considered as afford to lose which amount of funds you can lose and that can affect your life financially. If it affects you it is not a fact how much the fund is but it is obviously the fund you can not afford to lose.

I have to disagree with this statement,I used to believe it too but I screw it up really big lately and now when coming back from office to home I see these fancy good restaurants and I have no money to eat a good dinner there because I lost the money in gambling.Now this of course does not affect me financially as I have everything needed to live the life I have always used to but surely it impacted me in the sense that I could have spent that money by going out to dinner to one such fancy restaurant yet I choose gambling instead.It means that both affect us but when you go a bit further and spend money for core needs that means you have gone to far.
569  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you feel excited while gambling on: February 23, 2024, 06:57:41 PM
It's best if you can try other games, it may feel uncomfortable at first, but slowly it will become fun, you just focus on one game and try to win the game because you feel you have mastered it, try a game you've never played before. play

Excitement is often in the very start of the session and after that usually only it boils down to not so good feelings most of the time as we end up losing in our gambling session.The very few times we win the excitement feeling continues long after we have ended our gambling session,the only problem is we get to experience such happening in extremely rare cases.So therefore I think that the people who want to gamble especially slot machines to take the time and play a couple of hours in demo mode the slot they are about to start playing for real,this way they will get a better understanding and can also see the maximum amount of spins needed for the bonus round to be on screen.

It looks like going all in with the most likely result in Pot B has proven correct to me so far as I am 8th yes but just 4 points behind those guys who have come here with the upsets,so I hope that by going this route to overcome those and to end at least 4th,of course much difficult to achieve yet I love the format of this Pot B pool,as it really pays off consistency over banging an upset like many people have done.I am sure that consistent results should be paying better than trying to hit that big of an upset every week hoping to pass positions dramatically,sure it have happened to some persons but they are very few,so I will keep an eye and see who will be right in the end of the tournament.

The Tuesday of the last week was a nightmare day for me and I am not gambling since then.I lost a huge amount for me and I still don't get it how could I not stop before losing it all.These stories are great to watch for people who have suffered the same or are near suffering the same in their gambling session.My kid was born in full pandemic and I was gambling also back then but not because I did not wanted to wait for the kid,I simply was disallowed.

FML with Barca man, I know I couldn't trust them but can't even defend 1 goal.

Congrats to LFC_Bitcoin for choosing Porto. I would never have dreamt it is possible. Saka in the richest line of goal mining right now, his teammates finding extra gear, Arsenal averaging 4+ goals in last 5 games, and then they go and have ZERO shots on goal.

Porto's not even best team in Portugal now Smiley

This shows the lack of commitment from Arsenal,they have totally underestimated this game as I see no real other explanation to this lost game.They will be getting more serious on the return leg I am sure of it yet many people lost points in the Pot A pool including me.I am happy though that I got an exact score from Barcelona game and despite being high in the standings I don't get my hopes up as even last season I was like that and ended 1 position behind the last prize spot.

How many confirmed players we have so far for upcoming season?

There are 8 players who have made payments so far. However I think that this number will be over 20 in a short time. I hope that I turn out to be right about it. It is good to hear that you are joining.  Smiley

I am ashamed to say that I dont know what AT is  Embarrassed

I hope to send next Wednesday first 50% as I have lost almost 0.10 Bitcoin last Tuesday as greed got the best out of me.Nevertheless I fired up my mining rig so I hope to get many small cryptos and I will have about 10-20 dollars every week in the worse case(of course I hope not to get down to this) so most likely let's see for next Wednesday or next Thursday at max to pay at least 50% of the amount.

...I should start believing it since these people run like monsters, and despite their injuries, they keep winning. Cannot wait for Klopp to leave.
I think the Anfield crowd is what keeps them going most of the times. They are great normally, but at home, they are almost unplayable. That made the 1 point we picked up at Anfield very precious.

May be you break the curse but may be you net another lost game yet I think Liverpool is thinking more about the Premier League trophies so you may have some added chances.
During a final match, nothing else matters to all the players involved, I do not expect any drop in performance.

- Jay -

I agree for the final match every player is normally motivated to play their best yet when this impose a risk to the title fight challenge then the manager of the team can make a decision to play with their 2nd eleven while conserving the first eleven for the title fight.Normally the coach should not take any such drastic measures but in this context where Liverpool plays for the title and the coach leaves at the end of the season so this can very well happen.
575  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Sportsbet.io's English Premier League Football Pool Discussion Thread on: February 22, 2024, 09:38:28 AM
Liverpool was impressive, Luton was leading 0-1 on the 1st half but it turned into 4-1. Anfield really has different atmosphere for sure especially for those that plays as away team in this stadium
Liverpool were super impressive. They are looking more like Champions as the weeks roll by and would be getting a huge boost if they win the EFL cup this weekend. Igehhbotz, your Chelsea have one job to do this weekend, I really hope they do not mess it up.

Congrats to the yellow cap winners.

The FA needs to conduct drug tests on these Liverpool players. There were rumours about Liverpool using steroids on their players a few seasons ago, maybe. I should start believing it since these people run like monsters, and despite their injuries, they keep winning. Cannot wait for Klopp to leave.

We're gonna break our recent Wembley curse this weekend. No Mount, No Havertz so we're good.


I don't think Liverpool players are on drugs,they run like crazy and this was a characteristic and for me still is the distinguish such team.Even in seasons where they were not fighting for any trophies they were still running like crazy so I highly doubt they are on steroids or drugs.

May be you break the curse but may be you net another lost game yet I think Liverpool is thinking more about the Premier League trophies so you may have some added chances.

Arsenal LOL

-snip

can't say that it didn't come across my mind that they will do exactly same as last year with Sporting, but dismissed that after two 0:5 wins in EPL, thought they found their form at the moment
but one can never know with Arsenal, bottlers

Napoli and Barcelona as predictable as possible, 1:1 draw was all over that match from draw moment


I really think the second round will be very interesting to see, I mean Odds wise because a lot of the underdogs would be playing away from home and will be expected to get a more decent (upsetting) odds that could be enticing going by what we've seen in the first leg, perhaps one can get a lucky enough to some difference making points, but it's getting to a now or kinda situation gradually.

I highly doubt that the return leg will bring any upset,in fact I was quite surprised with the losing of Arsenal against Porto.I highly doubt that Arsenal will have much problems to beat Porto and even with big goal difference and I am sure they will qualify further after the second leg.

For Barcelona maybe a surprise result  can happen because Napoli is not that weak and Barcelona is not on top form either so any result im this game can be acceptable.

Going by Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Arsenal, and the least odds you can expect for the visiting teams should around at least x5+ Odds for ML, or well over x3 for a Draw, while the favorites such as Inter Milan, and PSG playing away from home will also get decent almost even Odds at x2+.

I'm talking about the Odds in respect to expected outcomes or even potential upsets that the odds will be more worthwhile than it was for the first leg, for instance Lazio upset against Bayern Munich, and Porto against Arsenal was @ x4+ and x5+ Odds respectively, meanwhile for the 2nd leg it is nothing short of x9+ Odds as at the time of writing this post.

I know that but I never expect Arsenal to fail again in the return leg so I totally exclude a Porto capable of upsetting Arsenal while they have been beaten when played outside home even a Belgium league team so sounds almost impossible for me for them to win yet people who have nothing to lose they can add all their stake in Pot B pool and get a nice 100 points with this upset if ot happens.

For me it is better to parlay all these teams in a ticket and the odds would be over 3 to win some nice amount of money.

Yeah, it's the best solution for him to re-assess whatever mistake he made during that failed session, instead of pushing his way to keep playing and most of the time the outcome will be against him, you need to be wise to keep that emotion and treatment towards your gambling participation, having that kind of understanding will let you to keep yourself in shape.

By introspecting ourselves on the mistakes we have made before, this will certainly motivate us to be more careful in every decision and action we take in the future. For wise and responsible gamblers, have good thinking because opportunity does not come a second time and this can be applied in gambling so that we remain consistent in maintaining good control.


That does not always work well.No more than last week as it is exactly from that time that I haven't gambled I started playing with minimum bet of Idr 200 and buying bonus 20.000 Idr and the game Rabbit Garden started giving me great x100 x250 and sometimes x500 multipliers but on level one not on the upper levels which x500 could have been a max win.I got carried away and raised the bet,boom over 2 million IDR gone within minutes,so my advice to anyone is never raise the bet after you win some.

Interesting table of standings with Sporting being the most favored team so far to have the highest chances to win the Liga Portugal.Of course this is difficult to predict since now as there are another 14 games to be played until the end of the league so most likely what will decide the winner of this league is the fact as which team from Benfica or Sporting will handle better the huge amount of psychological pressure for the title fight
580  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: February 21, 2024, 03:42:15 PM
Thomas Tuchel's departure at the end of the season has been confirmed by Bayern Munich and with this we also know the candidate for the next coach for Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso was immediately linked with this news and as a successful coach with Leverkusen so far he is at the top of the list of those who will replace Thomas Tuchel. We know how Bayern Munich performs and they have the strength to convince their new coach later.

It is not difficult for Bayern Munich to get a coach as genius as Xabi Alonso, but they have to go through the competition to sign him first with Liverpool. It is no longer a secret that Xabi Alonso will leave Leverkusen at the end of the season because offers have come in from elite European clubs. Well, this will be a fierce competition for Bayern Munich with Liverpool to be able to convince Xabi Alonso and whoever gets him will emerge as a very strong team with such a beautiful game.

Source: https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1760238929289040337
Finally, some positive news from Bayern Munich. It was expected that this would happen, we just didn't know when he would leave. Honestly, they haven't lived up to expectations given the talent they have. This team is not performing well this season, so it's clear that they can't keep him.
Now, it's going to be a long process again to bring in a new coach and staff. Right now, Thomas Tuchel and Xabi Alonso are quite different, except for their height. Will Xabi Alonso be the new coach for Bayern Munich next season? Does this mean he won't be coming to Liverpool? Of-course, this will be an interesting competition between Bayern Munich and Liverpool.

I think it was a much needed move after Bayern Munchen has failed in many games which was completely unexpected from them.The fault always in such happenings goes to the manager as it is he in such case who has not been able to change direction and to get better results after the bad ones.As long as the manager of the team is not able to inject new ideas and change direction for the good of the team the solution that remains is just what happened.
