Benfica has a golden moment to shorten the distance with Sporting although I doubt that would be enough in order for them to have even a remotely slim chance of winning the Liga Portugal this season.Of course I am assuming a lost game of Sporting against Porto which is very difficult to happen for the simple reason that Porto is not the Porto of recent years where they have always been fighting for the title themselves so I don't see that Sporting is going to lose this game.I think in the end if Sporting wins the title it will be the most righteous outcome as they have been playing better than any other team during this season so I don't complain as they fully deserve it.

Well. I was always expecting to concede first, it has been our song all season. But cannot remember the last time outside Europe we have been dominated in attack and midfield.

Not even able to watch but the pain seeps through the text updates I am getting. Mournful swansong for Klopp... and a torrid peek behind the curtains for Slot.

Igebotz at least our rebuild should not come with your price tag burden #laughsob

Liverpool just equalized and it looks like they have come with a much different mentality in the field in the second half,of course nothing changes,they have lost miserably the title fight with those three painful consecutive lost games including that one that knocked them out of Europe which impacted them this bad as to completely lose it in these games.I think maybe Klopp has said to them in the break that we have not got anything to lose anymore so play like you want and have fun,I see this is as the only impetus to give the players the right psychological motivation to come back and win this game,as I said it will be only for statistical purposes not for much unfortunately.

The pool has also crystallized the big winners while for the last prizes also I don't expect any surprise,we that don't fight for anything only play for a yellow cap.

If we agreed that we are making all the games,the last 5 games in this last match day it simply means that they need to add also the upcoming game PSG vs Dortmund and every single game from these 4 at least,from these 4 semi finals so we have all the options available.I am not that much fond of the special bets anyway and these special bets at least have ruined the structure that we had until they were introduced,I think it would have been much better if we have kept the match days exactly as the Champions League format,I hope this is changed and let me check which bets have they put up for choice for this final match day for Pot B.
64  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are Nassim Taleb's ideas useful in gambling? on: April 27, 2024, 12:10:52 PM
I have long wanted to discuss the following topic with users and participants in gambling discussions. Do you think Nassim Teleb's philosophy can be of any use in gambling? His various ideas and theories? Let me just list some of his ideas and you can comment on how, if any, benefits can be gained from this:
1. Ideas from the book “Fooled by Randomness.” There are many ideas that boil down to the fact that we often mistake randomness for a pattern.
2. Ideas from the book “Black Swan”. Strategies based on anticipation of the Black Swan.
3. Ideas from the book “Antifragile.” By the way, the concept of “barbell” is also from this book. Keep 90% of the bank in conservative assets and 10% in high-risk assets.
4. Ideas from the book “Skin in the Game”.
If you think any of these ideas can be applied to gambling, explain why you think so and how specifically it can be applied. If you believe that Nassim Taleb's ideas only apply to options trading and not to gambling, tell us more about your position.


I think the best book from him is the first one "Fooled by Randomness" as I am one of those crazy persons who still believe in a pattern in a game that is full of random outcomes like a slot machine.I have many years in gambling and still the slots providers manage to deceive me with their reels making me thinking that maybe I found a pattern.Not longer than sometime ago I was playing every day the Rabbit Garden slot from Pragmatic Play and I noticed that when only buying the bonus game,if you were never able to get past the first level in three consecutive buy bonus then most likely the fourth game was a guaranteed win in the sense to be more than x100 which was the cost of buy bonus,I happen to hit it several times and it looks like this is a pattern,I know though that when I will try again it won't work,I was fooled by randomness,a victim of the first book  Grin.
65  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The Impact of Crypto Betting on Traditional Sports Betting on: April 27, 2024, 11:54:08 AM
I don't think that will impact traditional sport betting much and for me the reason is simple,where I live I can see that one,most people don't know crypto betting yet although the number of people who do is always in the increase yet they remain a small percentage compared to the persons who keep doing traditional sport betting like we all know it.I see a lot of people of different ages going to the biggest casino which is licensed by the state and the only one allowed to offer different games including sport betting and this is common sight as the casino is in the center of town and every time I go for a walk I see the same picture.This means that yet crypto betting impact is low and we need sometime until we feel the real impact and see people converting from traditional betting to crypto gambling.

It's impossible from my end and can't tell what position Iam or or the Top 10.
You are at the 33rd rank now in the pot B race. I'm not sure why are you facing difficulties to find out your position and the other people ranks. You can easily check it all by clicking on the "SeasonResults" (screenshot of the current leaderboard)

Are we viewing the same spreadsheet? I'm seeing the Top 10 for the first time this season. Mine look like this https://talkimg.com/images/2024/04/27/rH83H.jpeg both on PC and mobile. Filter tag doesn't work either.

I thought I had lost the top 10 in the Pot B but after seeing that image here,I have got back hopes as it means that now maybe I have a chance to keep the top 10 although I see it extremely difficult during such games,most likely I would love to go for PSG all in when they play at home,I doubt they will have any problems winning at home and the motivation surely is not lacking now that they see a real possibility to get to the final and not being in front of some scary team like Manchester City,they are out of the Champions League.I have not made my final decision yet,maybe I do 4 different bets with 4 different stakes in it,this has worked out well in the last rounds for me.

If they want to maintain any chance of catching up with Arsenal, they must win today. But you see, they have gone into decline, and they cannot find their previous game, in this state the team is unpredictable, and I definitely would not dare to bet on them, especially since the odds are quite low, only 1.5 for an away game is not enough, considering how they play now.

Perhaps I’m rushing to conclusions, but I think that Liverpool has already dropped out of the leadership race, there are very few matches left and such mistakes usually become fatal, and the champion will be those who hold out until the end.
Liverpool's chances of winning the title are very slim now and they have already given up on it so their motivation for this match probably won't be that great and of course it would be quite risky to bet on a team like Liverpool now.
West Ham are also not that bad when they play at home and on the other hand, Liverpool's performance, which has been very poor in the last few matches, does not guarantee that they will be able to recover in this week's match.

I would avoid betting on Liverpool, I think it is better, they are not in good form and it will be quite difficult to predict.
Maybe it's better to bet on over or under goals in this week's match between West Ham vs Liverpool.

I would bet on Liverpool only if the odd of them is well over 2 which I think that not to be the case,in fact I just checked at it is at 1.45,totally not right in my opinion also.In this case I would bet on West Ham +1 Asian Handicap as the odd would be at least 2 or near it as a bare minimum and judging by the performance of Liverpool which they have lost 3 consecutive games I don't think they have any reason to comeback during this game.In sport though you never know what a team will do and maybe Liverpool can win with a huge difference of goals as maybe they unleash all their rage of these 3 lost games on West Ham,surely they have the firepower and capability to do so.

Overtimes included, except for outcome:
- in M1b "Real to score in both halves [regular time, no ET counted] (3.0)"

I saw it later in slaman29's screenshot, sorry man.
It was hidden in a wall of text and with kids time is money so I skipped most of it. Grin

Still unsure what to pick, it would be much easier if I thought Real is winning in Munich - but I don't.

I think Real will score in both events and that is a good pick if you are going for the specials,they were able to win against Manchester City after all and this shows a lot of their capability,they were able to score against them in both matches so I expect the same to be done even more easily than they did against City.

I don't know if they will win in Munich but I know for sure that they are the team qualifying for the final with about 95% accuracy and I think that you are free,in the sense you have a lot of free time to make your Pot B choice without any pressure at all because in Pot A you have already secured the second spot which is a great prize so nothing to lose for you.

Well to make an analogy I think everyone will agree that when we start a new job,we are the newbie and we tend to make mistakes,I remember when starting out as a network admin and at my first day of work,I wanted to show off my skills and made all the enterprise go offline by implementing a wrong access list,all enterprise network went down and no one could access the internet.The same can be said about newbies in gambling,they want to show everyone that they know their thing and as such want to make winning bets yet you simply can't do it for a consistent amount of time if you are a newbie without experience.

I often run out of funds due to gambling that is too blind in terms of placing $$ on every bet I make and ends up losing. I do multi-bets and single-bets, every time I win, sometimes I forget myself and use all my $$ on the next bet. This sometimes gives me big wins, but if I'm unlucky I can lose all my funds and this has happened many times.

I started to realize and change my habits. Now I use $$ from the profits from the previous bet to place the next bet and save my initial capital.

What do you think, is this good and can help me overcome losses that will occur so that $$ remains safe and can be used in future betting? Are there other unique ways that you can use to grow your money in gambling? feel free to comment. Thanks

If you are planning on saving up some money any time you win a game, then you need to start practicing a habit of send out some portion of your wining into a different account and only keep the one that you can willingly spend on your next bet. After winning a bet, you can keep 40% of the money that was won and only spend 60%.

I have the habit of not spending the money I win right at that moment in that casino. If I am gambling with $3 and I win $50, I will not spend the money that day.
You are right but there are many gamblers who can't control themselves after winning a bet instead of saving they bet to win more and then lose out in frustration. The strategy involves betting a certain amount on each outcome regardless of the previous outcome and betting on a certain percentage of the existing bankroll. It is better to focus on reducing risk and ensuring stability rather than actively increasing the chances of winning.

I think that controlling emotions is very difficult even in normal situations when you are not winning,when you win it becomes even more difficult as the momental joy of winning makes you asking for more and this is the hardest thing  to fight because our human nature is deeply based on greed,we want always more and more and that is what lead to gambling management as an almost impossible task for at least 90% of all the gamblers.

some news

South Korea and Thailand have announced that they will apply to the FIA ​​to have a grand prix in their countries. An emissary will go to analyze the projects and decide on any candidature.

Ferrari will race with special colors for the Miami Grand Prix, nothing like this has ever been seen for a Ferrari.

It should be a blue or light blue Ferrari.

Why are they doing such move,they have always raced in red from at least 1997 the year I started watching F1.This is a very and not at all common event for them so unless they are doing it for a special event it does not sound logical at all,even aiming at marketing it does not make sense as Ferrari sells the cars based on passion of buyers and are not relying on such strategy like changing color to boost sales.I don't get it why they do it.

I don't know if you guys have heard about it but the magazine or web page of Automotosport plus that they are giving it for sure that Newey is leaving Redbull.Memes also have populated F1 fun social media pages where they are depicting all other teams fighting hard with each other as who to get the offer to him first.I think also if he truly leaves it can finally make Redbull very much vulnerable when new regulations come in 2026 and they have to design a new car based on such regulations.

I hope to see HUGE odds for pot B so maybe with a crazy move and some huge luck on my side i can make a mighty comeback (keep dreaming boy).

POT A last spots with prizes are very busy and a lot of people fighting for it, sadly (or lucky for the ones who ares on top) the top positions are far away.

Next week im gonna check the questions from POT B.

Anyways thanks for managing all this Buwa  Smiley

In Pot A I think people in the prize spots,be it on top or in the last places my advice to them is to just go with the most logical result as that will give them points or one point in the worse case.I don't see any surprise results for the upcoming semi finals games and also by choosing to go with the most logical result I think will make sure they will stay in the top 10 zone.I know many people who have got nothing to lose will go for totally not logical choices which if they hit they are sure to be in prize spots,however good luck on getting 3 points with such choices.
74  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the least risky gambling game at online casinos? on: April 26, 2024, 06:18:29 AM
Once inside a casino be it online or offline you can forget about the least risky game there,every game I think poses a major risk as long as you are willing to play,even that fortune tiger game that you claim is the least risky as long as you can lose all your balance there I think that can be considered a major risk.If I would choose the least risky game I would go for texas hold em poker as you have great control through your skills in that game kinda like fortune tiger a bit.
75  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 25, 2024, 09:07:26 PM
It looks like Manchester City is the most favored team to win the league,they have one game less and one point less than Arsenal,I doubt they will be losing that extra game which translates to losing the title if they don't win it.Tonight was an impressive show put by Manchester City as they easily destroyed Brighton 0-4 in Brighton stadium.Arsenal destroyed Chelsea too but they were playing at home in a derby game where the rivalry is hot,I think the only thing to decide the title remains that extra game for City as I don't think Arsenal will make any errors.So for the title it will all depend from it as for Liverpool they condemned themselves yesterday night by not being able to win their eternal rivalry derby against Everton.
76  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Conmebol Libertadores 2024 on: April 25, 2024, 01:57:54 PM
It's been a long time since I watched a Libertadores game, yesterday I watched Estudiantes x Gremio in Group C and what a game it was. It wasn't easy at all, but Gremio won 1-0 away from home and with one player less from the start of the second half and thus remained in contention within the group. Today I intend to watch the Flamengo game.

The Libertadores games are very difficult, the teams give their all, especially because a player doing well in this championship can get good contracts, salary increases, everything is possible financially, money moves the world, right? lol

Yesterday Flamengo lost playing in Bolivia... and as always the players complaining about playing at altitude (3600m above sea level), if they had won, would they complain that much?

If they had won I am sure no one would say a thing about such altitude as what is important in the end of the day are the three points.I think Flamengo needs to do better as in the new Serie A in Brazil are looking relatively in good performance and for sure the Brazilian league is of better quality than the Bolivian league.I think it was a surprise result that Flamengo lost and complaining about high altitude is just a justification to them not being able to win the game.
77  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: April 25, 2024, 12:58:32 PM
I think maybe Bayern's mistake was to send Nagelsmann off the team. Nagelsmann was playing well in the team. Maybe Nagelsmann would have been better this year, but the difficult decision to send him away from Bayern Munich brought a steady decline for them. Tuchel was not as successful. Considering what we talked about today, I think Tuchel's decision was wrong. The league championship, which has not been lost for a long time, slipped away this year.
For sure, it was a mistake to send Nagelsmann off. Tuchel is not doing well currently and he will continue to struggle because players don't seem to have much trust in him. Despite Harry kane, who scores a lot of goals for Bayern in important matches, FC Bayern can't win Bundesliga anymore.

Bayern should develop a plan to win Champions Leage now but we all know winning Champions Leage is very difficult.

What do you mean he will continue to struggle? Did you get the impression that the coach or the players struggled in the Champions League quarterfinals? It was quite the opposite. Yet, the only right decision is to get rid of Tuchel. Surprisingly the guy always finds another big club to immediately get going after he gets fired. Once these coaches made it to the top of the list in the world, it doesn't matter what their results are. They sign contract after contract. Just look at Pochettino, one of the worst in the business. But he doesn't care, next club will be waiting for him when Chelsea fires him.


Big-name coaches like Tuchel keep getting top jobs after tough patches. Its amazing. The latest missteps tend to fade in comparison to their earlier victories. Tuchel couldnt keep Bayern's Bundesliga title, which demonstrates strategy flaws, especially compared to his predecessors.

This coach-carousel makes you question how clubs operate, right? What's more important, recent results or a guy's reputation? Even when they're failing in their leagues, Tuchel and Pochettino's Champions League runs appear to give them life. Sometimes super-talented coaches are under so much pressure that they're fired if they fail, but they're still the best.

I don't think Tuchel deserves anymore high premium team like Psg or Bayern Munchen as he failed at both of them,at Bayern he didn't win the title this season and I doubt he is going to win the Champions League this season while at Paris the title was undisputed because all other teams could not keep up with the quality of Paris players.I don't see any high potential team offering such coach a job,if I were the owner of such team I would see no reason to offer them a job.

Do you have favorite gaming strategies? Are there any effective approaches you know of that can be used in different games?

This is no real strategy as simply put strategies do not work in gambling otherwise we would not see such a high number of casinos popping up every day.My so called strategies are simple,in games of skill like poker against other person keep up the patience a lot and only go all in with a hand you are sure to win.In games of luck only use minimum bet to enjoy yourself longer sessions and not fall prey to addiction.If you play with high bets chances are high to lose it all in an instant.

Liverpool showed how badly these last lost games both in Premier League and also the elimination from Europa League as they seem to not be able to recover and not able to win any game as they have lost three times in the last 4 games which says a lot about their current form.

Everton on the other hand made history as they won the derby 14 years after not winning it against Liverpool in the Goodison park stadium.

~ and alot feels that yes gambling is a place to make money,to double your income but nah,but they are doing this cause they are so much addicted and can't deviate from it now. ~

This is a misconception that leads to even greater losses and increased likelihood of becoming a gambling addict. Therefore, I would caution gamblers against wrong thoughts about gambling. Gambling is primarily a recreational activity, not a job or a side job. Get rich on gambling only a few and judging by the statistics of winnings gambler himself has almost no influence on it. So play gambling just for fun and maybe you will ever be lucky.

Most people start as a fun activity to forget the daily stress and the problems they maybe facing for a short amount of time while enjoying gambling.The problem that can arise from this is that if someone starts doing this daily then chances are high emotions will deceive him and from a fun activity to forget about stress it can become a stressful activity and the risk of getting addiction is pretty high,therefore one should be able to differentiate if the situation is precipitating or not in order to take measures.
