961  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: January 01, 2024, 04:33:49 PM
~
Marcos Alonso joined Barcelona in 2022 and he has played 28 games for Barcelona right now. But the issue is that Barcelona has been suffering financially and now Alonso is also unavailable, they probably need to recruit someone new as his replacement.

With the struggles of Barcelona financially, it is hard to believe that they are going to recruit someone new. They probably will if they find someone as a free agent. They have problems on the attacking side as well. Lewandsonski is not at his best right now, other forwards are also having problems.
The financial struggles of Barcelona have indeed been a significant challenge that makes the likelihood of making high-profile signings a replacement for Marcos Alonso may be limited. They may need to explore the market for players available on a free transfer or at a reasonable cost. This could involve identifying players whose contracts have expired or those willing to negotiate favorable terms. Otherwise, Xavi needs to consider players within the squad who can adapt to different positions. This versatility can be valuable, especially when faced with limitations in recruitment options.

The concerns about Lewandowski's form and the struggles of other forwards make Barca need to focus on the attacking line. While it might be challenging to bring in a marquee signing, Barcelona can utilize theie youth academy for a cost-effective solution. Promoting talented youngsters to fill attacking positions can be a sustainable approach during financially challenging times. This not only addresses immediate needs but also aligns with Barcelona's tradition of nurturing homegrown talent.

Barcelona despite having all those financial troubles it is now in a great performance no matter that lately they have made quite some mistakes in their recent games which will cost them a lot in the title fight.The Cinderella of La Liga is surely Girona and they still have good chances to fight hard to win the La Liga this year,they have to be more careful and not waste chances like they did in their last game where they equalized against I don't remember who.Real Madrid is one of those teams who can never be counted out to the title fight in here and most likely Atletico Madrid is there too.I think the title fight will be decided between these three teams most likely as Barcelona is for the moment not in a good position to fight for the title although not completely out of the title fight.

Everyone knows it deep down yet the fact that most gamblers keep coming back is because they believe in that huge win that they may get in their next play session,so it is extremely difficult to change a gambler mind when he has seen a lot of people usually people who boast their winnings in chat,forums or even Youtube service.Of course people who are careful follow this advice,they stay without gambling as they know statistics and probability and they can make a few super simple calculations to stay away from gambling but this type of persons are very few compared to the majority which do not care what statistics say and they go ahead to play.
963  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and health concern on: January 01, 2024, 03:06:48 PM
It's New Year here in our country and I happened to bump into an old friend who narrated a story about how he almost suffered a heart attack after he won a big amount of money in a casino, this was several months ago, he's lucky that his son was around at that time so he got the right treatment at the right time.

He did not know that his hypertension had gotten worse since he can gamble even if he has this, he is taking medicines and doing relaxation but big winnings must have triggered this.

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?

This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.




I am extremely calm when gambling for the simple fact that I expect in my false expectation to win the biggest amount of money possible from the game I am playing so nothing comes to me as surprise in order to alter my blood pressure that much as to go to really aggravated medical condition,for example when I play a game that can pay max x40.000 multiplier I expect as I said in my false sense of hopefulness to hit it and as such it does not come to me as a big surprise.

On the other hand I don't care much if I lose it all the money that I am playing as this is common mainstream happening in most of my play sessions,so no most people do not suffer from the above when gambling.

A lot of great players have come to this league and the quality of this league is only normal that has increased a lot with the coming with Cristiano Ronaldo and alike.Speaking of Cristiano he is for no reason in my opinion the greatest of all time as he ended the year with 59 or a bit more goals at the age of 38 and he has promised to at least repeat the same performance this upcoming year where he will be 39 in February.I know that most people may say he is playing in a weaker league than in Europe but sometimes it is difficult to get used to play in these so called "lower quality" leagues.I think what is to be appreciated it is this player mindset,he thinks to beat new records even at the age of 39,I don't know any other player thinking the same,that is why for me is the greatest of all time.

Lately I have not been a fan of NBA until I started following other people bets and I saw a huge amount of bets at least in the casino where I usually play which is the one in my signature are on basketball.I love playing every single game there with over as my preferred bets as they score a lot of points usually and the over bet is the most played from other people too.I find it quite strange that since the time I used to watch every game of NBA several years ago when Chicago Bulls used to dominate this and then it was Sacramento Kings,since then I have lost the interest to watch games here yet the interest is sparked again and seeing some team like Bolton Celtics leading the NBA is strange to me at least.The NBA keeps me wake at night when there are no soccer matches to entertain myself by betting in here.
966  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: January 01, 2024, 02:06:35 PM
Against Salernitana it shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Juventus. The most important thing is that Juventus must not underestimate their opponents. They must always treat every match as an important match like against other strong teams. Because most strong teams always lose to weak teams because they underestimate their opponents.
Salernitana will meet Juventus in two events at once, the Italian league and the Italian Cup in the next few days, I know Salernitana is at the bottom of the Italian league so it is not a club that poses a serious threat to Juventus, but with a short time gap between the two matches, Allegri has to organize and rotate the players so they don't feel tired due to this busy schedule. At least the Juventus players are in good form.

Victory is of course Juventus' main goal, especially in the Italian league, they have to catch up with Inter Milan, that's why they have to be able to take advantage and wait for Inter Milan to make another mistake so that Juventus can overtake them at the top of the standings and win the title this season. that's what all Juventus supporters might hope for. My prediction is that Juventus will win the match against Salernitana
On paper, Salernitana are not a big threat to Juventus, they are at the bottom of the table right now. Although they can win their last match, it is nothing compared to Juventus. Juventus should be able to win this match without encountering serious difficulties, unless they don't play well or they have a big misfortune that will make them possibly achieve an unsatisfactory result.
 They have managed to cut the gap with Inter Milan in the standings and that is good news for them, so they should be able to maintain what they have shown so far.
Their chances of becoming the best in Serie A again are wide open this season, especially since they also have the advantage of not having a busy schedule, and in terms of fitness they will definitely benefit. 2 points is their gap with Inter Milan in the table, I feel they will be able to coup Inter Milan in the future.
Juventus were able to beat Roma without difficulties, although they scored only one goal. I think that Salernitana will not create any problems for Juventus to win again. I don't know what has to happen for Salernitana to prevent Juventus from getting the three points.

Salernitana this year is really weak and the fact that Inter drew with Genoa was a great incentive for Juventus to win against Roma without much problems.Now they are still 2 points behind but they would have been 4 if Inter had won against Genoa so their incentive is really strong as they need to keep winning every single game while hoping for Inter to make some false steps in the encounters they have.There is only half of the Serie A left to play and the amount of games will only shrink the more we advance so Juventus needs to keep their performance high if they want to have a real go to win the Serie A this year.
967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one is better, parlay or teaser bet? on: January 01, 2024, 01:34:01 PM
The problem is that they are almost the same except the teaser bet has more probability to hit than a normal parlay.If the bettor is allowed to use the spread then it means that he can have more chances to win as the spread means he can opt for example to start the game 2-0 for a soccer team as a handicap type of bet using this spread and as such enhancing the chances to win the bet.The problem though is that no matter how these type of spread/asian handicap lines boost the chances to win our bets the harsh truth is that right now is very difficult to keep winning consistently through sport betting.In the end the teaser bet is always better as in theory it has more chances to be a winner based on probability.
968  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do Owners of betting companies bet? on: January 01, 2024, 01:07:00 PM
Do owners of betting companies place bet on their own platform or is there a policy specific policy that restricts them from betting. Do you think that there would be conflict of interest or that it will be unethical if owners bet on their own platforms. These are the questions that I am seeking an answer to.

I used to work in such a platform back in early 2000-s and it was just set up there,betting platforms were not as well known as they are now so a huge amount of people were betting there.I knew the owners as they hired me,they were my neighbors that opened the lotto club,a big one but as far as I remember I never saw them placing even a single bet just for the fun of doing it,so I know based on this fact that most casino or lotto club owners do not care much to place bets.Even Eddie,the Stake owner plays only on a Saturday just to decide the promotions for the other week and which would be the slot to beat the multiplier,so betting on sport betting I doubt they do.
969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rich, average or poor. Who loses more? on: January 01, 2024, 12:00:31 PM
I don't know for real but I assume the rich should lose more than the other groups for the simple fact that the rich have more money to play and they should be the ones losing more but also winning more so it looks pretty self explanatory based on this question.

I know that can be other situations where the average or the poor can lose more because of their perseverance to keep playing hoping in a win but these are extremely isolated cases compared to the rich persons.
970  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Connecting to Public Wifi on: January 01, 2024, 11:21:18 AM
I visit the city here few weeks ago due to my personal medical appointment. I notice that they have public wifi because I’m only allowed to use my Tab as mobile device due to my eye condition.

I just thought playing a little bit gambling while waiting for my appointment but then I realized that online casino has a strict rules about IP sharing. I'm really skeptical to connect because I’m not sure whether someone connected on it that play on same online casino that I’m playing. I don’t want to risk being connected to someone randomly.

I want to get the opinion how casino deal with this kind of situation. If you caught up on this messed up situation, how can you possibly defend yourself to online casino operators?

The risk is always big when connecting to public Wi-Fi especially on random places,you were waiting for your appointment so I believe no big risk of you being hacked by a random hacker at the doctor so most likely it is the casino operator who have strict policies regarding where to connect,personally though I can connect anywhere in my city and I had never problems logging in to my favorite casino where I usually play.

The risk is real when you are in a random coffee shop or similar place and you see the Wi-Fi is free without password or WPA2-WPA3 encryption which is the best nowadays,that is a big red flag,much worse than the casino operator as someone can see your credentials through MITM (man in the middle attack) and stole them from you.
971  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: January 01, 2024, 11:01:21 AM
Bayern Munich is about to lose a player in this team. Joshua Kimmich is a player who is under contract with Bayern Munich but this player is linked to Barcelona to join this team in the next days.
On the other hand, Manchester United is seeking a midfielder and Manchester United can be another possible destination for this player.
It seems Bayer Munich should increase the offer to keep Joshua Kimmich or they will lose their player.


I think Kimmich can play better in a new team. He has been in the Bayern squad for a long time and I think his performance this year is not very good, at least when we look at his statistics, I can see that he can do something better.
While he is still a valuable player, other teams will compete with each other to add him to their squads. Let's see where we will see him next season

I agree he has given what he has to give to Bayern during this time and it would be in his best interest to change teams.I am sure it will add to the other team where he will go in performance and would contribute to the Bundesliga becoming better.I thought when Harry Kane to move to Bayern Munchen to not score as many goals as he has scored in this season as I thought he will have some issues to get used to another league after having played to the Premier League for so long but no he is doing great and Bayern Munchen can permit to leave a player like Kimmich to go away.

Arsenal memes I was watching all over the Instagram fun pages and I thought what is funny with Arsenal this year as they are in a good form.Only now I saw the result of the games as I was celebrating New Year and they were right as Arsenal has lost against Fulham.I can understand losing against a Fulham that was doing great before but in fact they lost 3-0 in the last game I think or something similar,they were not in a good form and now Arsenal is the meme of the end of the year.

Tottenham just did their homework and won their game against a Bournemouth which was in a great shape having won most of their games recently and only today they were stopped.

Just reviving this topic with quite some winning bets from the ones I copied other people,well these ones are not great in odds but it shows that 3-4 bets that I copied with just 250 IDR per bet or sometimes played well over 5000 IDR per bet when I had the belief that things will go well so I never expected to win these bets while I also wait many others and I am ready now before I start the new year to start copying bets again from other people,it was quite some days I had not copied any bet at all and this feels great to win bets with such great odds,as in sport betting I consider this type of parlay a difficult one to achieve and hit.

974  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What is the perception of people about gamblers in your neighborhood? on: December 31, 2023, 06:01:03 PM
Gamblers were seen as irresponsible people in my town few years ago. Parents usually warn their children never to indulge in gambling or associate with people who gamble. However, a lot has changed recently as gambling has become one of the biggest business here. As a result of that, societal perception has also improved as many testimonies of life-changing wins from gambling has emerged.

I don't know if this is only happening in my area or is a general trend, hence the reason I created this post. Let's know what people think about gamblers and how well the gambling business is faring in your area.

That is most people perception about gamblers in general and parents in particular.I can understand them as most of the cases they have only learned for gambling through media and usually the media pumps more the bad things rather than those life changing wins.Most parents are so intimidated by different bad stories thrown by the media so it is only normal that they are worried.Life changing events are rare while bad stories are common and that makes gambling look more hazardous rather than beneficial.
975  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you believe in gambling experts predictions? on: December 31, 2023, 05:39:16 PM

There are some streamers that I have confidence in believing I can make profits through their predictions as they are part of a big community of experts in a particular sport. I could say around 8 predictions sometimes 6 will be the correct outcome. It's not always a win but somehow the substance they are saying is correct and you have to be a fan of the sport also to agree to their predictions otherwise you are blindly betting.

I don't believe in expert predictions and no it is not because I don't believe in other people ability to predict better than me,it is because as long as referees will exist and with their decisions will impact the games then there is no expert who can provide us with winning tickets.I usually give a quick overview to betting predictions sites like bettingexpert and alike and the so called experts there cannot provide consistent wins,so no I do not believe in such thing.

I hate the holiday season as I forgot to place a lot of picks during these last two days.Not that I was going to improve anything but at least I would have hoped for better results.

It is that part of the competition where a lot of games will take place so most likely the persons who will do great during January will be having the best chances to finish in good prize spot positions.

Gambling has been a part of our lives if you are an active gambler, and as this year is about to end, I would like to know your New Year's resolution.

Please share it with us here, and please don't make your new years resolution like you will not gamble again, that's against the rule of a gambler.

Also, I like to greet you all, HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!


I am not saying I will not gamble again as that is extremely difficult to achieve but at least to cut in half the amount played and that half saved to invest in some more beneficial venues like investing them in other cryptocurrencies and also getting interest from it by staking some of them.This was my last year resolution but which I failed miserably to implement so this year I will try much harder as I see this as a possibility to change for the better.

Leverkussen is a team in great shape at the moment,the same as Liverpool but for me Liverpool is a bit better because the individual player quality is better than that of Leverkussen.Leverkussen strength is the group as they have not truly distinguished players like Liverpool has Salah and so I don't know what to think about an eventual clash between these teams.Some times the individual quality decide the game some times the group does.Any team winning would not be a surprise result.
979  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Motosport General discussion tread --- Formula1, MotoGP, WTCC, ETCC, DTM..... on: December 31, 2023, 02:39:40 PM
My personal prediction is that the ducats of 2023 will end ahead of the Aprilia of 2024 in the final leaderboard.

I also assume that the 2023 Ducatis will probably be just as fast as the 2024 models from KTM and Aprilia, the 2023 models also have the advantage that they already have available data from the track set-up, so they clearly have an advantage, but I hope KTM and Aprilia are currently doing a good job and can keep the 2023 Ducatis mostly behind them, but that won't be easy.

That should be the case most likely as Aprilia has always been a weak bike in the premier class of MotoGp something I have never understood well as they make some pretty awesome bikes in the lower classes of 125 and 250 cc.Ducati on the other side has been a good bike in the premier class and that is why I also think that Aprilia will be behind even against a 2023 Ducati in this upcoming 2024 MotoGp season.

The only one to blame is the devil as he keeps whispering to anyone of us that even after we lose that in the next game session we are going to hit that big win.The human being is weak and guided by greed in most of the cases and that is why we keep following advices fron entities we should not as the devil surely isn't interested in our well being,in fact the complete opposite so I only blame myself from following whispers I should definitely not follow.
