Ideally, Chelsea must win against Fulham, they have a better squad and they play at home. It will be shameful if Chelsea gets a draw or a loss, people will assume Chelsea just waste money without getting any improvement in their performance. By having Enzo Fernandez and Mykhaylo Mudryk, Chelsea should be stronger and more effective in playing. However, no guarantee of an instant improvement, the coach has a big role. At the end of the day, Chelsea performance will depend on the strategy and lineup made by the coach.

Anyway, the first match won't be easy for new players. I hope Enzo Fernandez and Mykhaylo Mudryk won't get the same problem as João Félix. Chelsea needs an important win, new players are expected to give their best performance.
Havertz had a chance to make it 1-0 at the end of the first half, but hit the post. It seems that Chelsea controls the game, but they created perhaps only two dangerous moments, and the opponent had one chance. If the game in the second half will take place according to the same scenario, then the likelihood that Chelsea will again lose points is high. By the way, bookmakers already see this outcome as very real: the chances of Chelsea winning are estimated at 1.92.
A very good end of the first half for the both London teams in this derby match where Chelsea is trying his best for changing their fortune, but things are not favourable for them and they are struggling badly even having good control of the game and last minute miss of the golden opportunity is surely going to be in favour of Fulham which is having good fight for stopping Chelsea to have lead at the half-time.

New signings are also having not positive impact and now as we are heading for the second half Mudryk is changed and Graham Potter having Madueke as things are going to look like Fulham will be able to steal the show without any big investment like Chelsea and this season is going to be worst for the Chelsea as well.

The system is not going to change. Out of the 16 voting members of the ICC, only 3 are representing associates. And even out of these three, one (Oman) is a proxy of the BCCI. So 14 out of the 16 members have reasons to maintain the current system. When Shashank Manohar was the chairman of the ICC, I had some hope. But he was soon replaced by the pig-4 nominee Greg Barclay. And among associates, the ongoing process of teams with 100% foreigner squads gaining over the native sides will accelerate in the future.

Now coming to franchise cricket, I don't think that we will see a situation similar to what we have in football sometime soon. International cricket (bilaterals and ICC tournaments) still attract a lot of revenue. Although leagues such as IPL are important, they are not going to replace ICC tournaments. ICC has already announced calendar up to 2031, and we have a major ICC tournament every year. This is dissimilar to the case with football, where they have the World Cup only once in 4 years.
Cricket was the game of gentlemen but now under control of peoples those are not gentlemen and have no heart for having good and positive changes which bring this game popular and having good positive changes as well because every one want to fill his own pocket and right now franchise leagues are best for this with BCCI is having strong connections, and they are taking good advantage of this all with few associates which are also having benefits just because of BCCI needs to cooperate with them, so they are doing and having few benefits otherwise I have feeling if they try to go with the way we have in soccer and other sports we can take good advantage for minors, and they can also increase their profit as well.

But right now, things are not going into this way, and we have to wait for the very long if we have changes in this system because right now most of the peoples are not in favour of this all and their calendar which is settled until 2031 is also not allowing them to bring changes in this system.

The season has started to be a nightmare for Milan. Because you know how terrible they are at defending these days.

They have such a terrible defensive effort that they have conceded so many goals recently because of it. While scoring six goals in their last four league matches they conceded thirteen goals. This is just very unacceptable for a team like Milan that's for certain. They weren't like this before hence I wonder what the reason behind is now. If we don't see any improvement in this performance in the Inter match then there is no way Milan are getting any point in this match. Inter are having wonderful days unlike them. They have the potential to defeat Milan in the same way they did in the Super Cup.
This is surely terrible suddenly they are on this run which was not expected just two points from their last four games, and suddenly they are playing like crap having defeats and conceding 13 goals in four games mean they are broke and have nothing to settle things as now transfer window is also closed, and their defense weakness can bring them more down which will be not ideal situation for the defending champions.

With most chances I have feeling Inter will take good advantage of this situation and not allowed them to have any positive change, and they have to be faced another big defeat with after Super cup performance most chances no one will have any positive hope from them for having anything positive.

It will be a very difficult job for Jurgen Klopp as they have to meet a team as strong as Real Madrid in their poor form. Maybe now Real Madrid is also losing stability, but when compared to Liverpool, Liverpool has worse performance than Real Madrid. The main task of both coaches Ancelotti and Klopp is to be able to apply a precise strategy to show who is better and advance to the next round in the Champions League this season.
Liverpool meeting Real Madrid again in the Champions league round of 16 is bad luck for Jürgen Klopp, Klopp has struggled to get his team back to top form again. In this game Real Madrid will have the advantage because of this, Liverpool are facing a really tough phase at the moment which makes me doubt they will be able to stand Real Madrid. I don’t exactly blame the manager, Klopp has achieved a lot with Liverpool, but if the poor performance and results keep coming I’m afraid the management of Liverpool might be forced to make unexpected decisions that includes sacking Klopp. This seems like the worst season in a decade and Klopp is trying everything possible to change the situation.
I don't think there is going to be any bad luck for them in this game because in Champions League their performance is completely as they wanted, and they beat Napoli in away game which is also good for them with this recently Real Madrid is also having not good performance in La Liga because they have eight points gape from leaders Barcelona and having goalless draw at home against Real Sociedad mean their attack is also not performing as they needed.

Even advantage is with Real Madrid, but this is not going to be easy game for the both teams and any team can go through into last eight but if Liverpool lost here and then their chances for the top four in English Premier League are also not good mean things could be more than worst for the Liverpool, and we can expect good changes in coming season for the improvement.

Commission jobs are not really that common to find, it needs to a bit more common before it could be found if you want it and you need to work on your craft a bit before you could do anything. I personally did this, and I had to work really hard to find my job, I was also lucky and blessed to find the best boss in the world, but you need to spend a lot of time in your craft to get good at it.

This is why I spent years to be better and better before I considered making more money. Nowadays I try to make as much as I can without dropping in quality, but I know the max quality I can do and I do not accept any work I do that is anything below that level of quality.

Winning a free bet is already giving you a good vibe for the day, but seeing a couple of days later that you have also won a multibet with that



Well, it's something. Smiley

Thank you, Sportsbet.io, for running these amazing competitions, for the great odds, and for the opportunity to make the already great odds boosted!

That's awesome Betwrong!

Sportsbet have given me several freebets after won the weekly promotions managed by Jeremy many times but I ruined them all lol. I like your way to take quite safe bet while I wasted them on 4-5 matches parlays Angry Here is the latest one, I use it for the upcoming PL games;



I kinda regret it now...
I wouldn't say yours is wasted, you just need a few more tries, because if you keep doing this, by the rules of "odds", you should be hitting at least one eventually, doesn't mean it will be the next one, or even next few ones, but mathematically, you will hit at least one "eventually". And that means if you keep doing it, you are going to earn a great deal of money one day and that day will be a pretty good day, plus you would be spending absolutely nothing to get it as well which would make it even more fun.

I am in love with parlays myself, I do multiple games all the time and I really enjoy it, and win time to time as well, so I do not see why freebets should be any different.
1167  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: My greatest fear about Bitcoin Halving. on: February 01, 2023, 06:52:04 PM
Even if there is no bull run, I think there will still be a noticeable increase that will happen because the properties of halving makes Bitcoin scarcer. Don't you worry as it won't cause a serious problem but just a little disappointment although that doesn't make the people quit on buying and hodling a Bitcoin.

What can truly cause a panic is when Bitcoin itself has experienced a major issue, a bug or something that it won't likely be fixed anymore but I think the possibility of that to happen is only slim since Bitcoin is over 13 years old already. IDK if what makes you think that 2024 is the greatest halving when there are more halvings to come after this. There is always another chance and even not in the halving day, bull run can still come.

Depending to your need and to your want I guess, if you are outside your house and you can't bring your laptop or your computer then using your cellphone or your mobile devices is good enough to continue playing the game you want, casino website already adjust and they have their mobile versions where you can log in and use their services.

Comfortable wise, most if not all will still prefer to use a laptop/desktop computer. The wide range of screen and the UI are really enjoyable and relaxing, especially if you are winning the game.
Laptops can also be carry outside but there are still occasions where you can't just open your laptop with you like for example if you are inside a public vehicle and it was moving already and then you are also surrounded with other people. Some things can happen like it will be stolen to you because there are thefts inside the public vehicle who are watching you earlier. If not, you can also drop it and it will be damaged.

For those scenarios, phones are still the best to use but there are some games on some gambling sites which lags badly on my phone so I just skip those games for a while if I am commuting but I will only play them once I got home using my laptop.

I'm not saying trust can be solved with signature campaigns, but I'm saying if Betfury wants to do another signature campaign, maybe it should solve the problem first, or at least the trust becomes neutral.
so that marketing through signatures is back on and there are new participants knowing that Betfury representatives have no problems regarding trust, they will not hesitate to join the platform.

maybe the red trust in the representative account for us is not a problem, but it would be better if it turned out to be neutral.
The "negative" that they have is regarding their affiliate, so if you are a gambler and not an affiliate marketing person, nothing has changed for you and will not change for you in the future. Doesn't have anything to do with any withdrawal problems or anything like that, they have been pristine and amazing about that. The fact about their negative is that they had a higher percentage given for their affiliates, and they lowered it.

I remember clearly that Binance had 50% affiliate income when they first started, and dropped it significantly later on, if they had an account here on bitcointalk, people would have to give them negative trust for that too if that's the case. I believe any company has a right to change the affiliate offer, but some people disagree, that has nothing to do with the casino part of it.

you really have to always prioritize if you really want to get more than what you usually do, if you don't have a priority scale, you will be stuck with routines, which may result in you not being able to get more than what you want.

The desire to get rich quickly, as you said, is indeed one of the priority scales that must be carried out and it requires patience, accuracy, in analyzing so that it can be tested, so that you don't make the wrong investment decisions which can pump in a short time and be profitable and come out right away.

but sometimes greed can also cloud everything that has been predicted beforehand but cannot go well, because it doesn't come out as quickly as possible but hopes to get more profit which actually makes the situation not in accordance with its main purpose.
The desire to get rich quickly is not just a futile and loss bearing greedy feeling, but it is also an unrealistic one. I mean if anyone sits down even for 15 seconds and asks themselves "if it was easy to get rich quick, in any way or shape or form, would I be the one who discovered it for the first time ever?" and they will understand why so many people are poor, because getting rich quickly doesn't exist.

But you could get rich, not quickly but still get rich, how? Well, simply by holding. Do you imagine that if you invested all of your money into bitcoin today, in 20 years you won't be rich? I bet you would be, and that is what we need to do, and how we can get rich.
1171  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Common Online Gambling Fraud on: January 30, 2023, 08:52:58 PM
Another fraud is using multiple accounts to avoid bet limit.

Usually when the gambler is really lucky and always win, the casino will limit the gambler's maximum bet since it's to prevent the gambler will make a lot money if he bet large amount. I don't really understand why such user done this because they can just move to other reputable and trusted casino, there's no huge difference with each casino, only the odds is smaller, but the difference isn't huge maybe around @0.01-0.05.
Me too. Also, is there a such thing as limiting someone because he's just "too lucky"? I mean, I heard about it used to be a thing in the past with land-based casinos, but I've never heard about something like this regarding reputable online casinos.
Yeah it is definitely something in todays world with todays casinos in the crypto world as well. If you end up winning too much, they can limit you, and they are holding that right and have the rules for it. This is both bad, but also not too bad for both casinos and the player.

Bad for the casino because if you limit them, they can't lose it back to you fast enough, someone who turned a thousand dollars into a million dollars, can't lose that million dollars back quickly if you limit them, so this is also bad for the casinos, but not bad because they can't earn more of it with same pace. Same but the reverse is true for the gamblers, can't lose it quickly so it's good, but can't keep earning so it's bad.

Chelsea is having a very big problem and they can only be better after this season. I have not lost hope in Potter. I know Chelsea will have a better team with the kind of transfers they are signing now. It only takes patience and trust to believe the system and have trust till things are better. Meanwhile Chelsea should be very patient with their coach
No manager worth his salt would lose this much with a team like this. It doesn't matter about chemistry, it doesn't matter about tactics or system or anything like that. He was given a team that is much much better than Tuchel had and still getting terrible results. It was always a terrible decision to fire Tuchel, but we are seeing they weren't ready with another manager neither.

I hope that he gets fired by the end of the season or maybe even earlier and they use an interim one, so they could end up with doing something much better later on with a much better manager. Mourinho is said to be considered but not sure if that will work better for them or not.

The season keeps looking better for me (not betting just tables) as Real somehow did not score in the last game while my team is finding a way to get in one-nil wins a lot. Next up for us in Manchester United though in 2 weeks in Europa, but they seem really strong these days hehe.

Anyway, Southampton being in last place must be just something like bad luck, and of course it's easy to say that, same could be said for every team near the bottom, but the thing about luck is it can also turn around the other way. 3 wins in a row, imagine, and it's middle table.
When you played this many games and still at the bottom of the table, that's not just pure bad luck, that's actually being pretty bad this year. Unfortunately there are too many people who have played worse than they were expected to play namely teams like Liverpool and Chelsea. Those teams were considered top 5 teams and still ended up at around 10th place, which means when a team like Southampton which were seen as 10th, becomes bottom of the table when they play that badly.

I believe they will relegate, but they have a good squad and if they can keep the core together, I believe they will come back quickly, just like how Watford did recently where they dropped and came back, the tough part will be staying though.
1174  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where to bet on Billiards sports? on: January 30, 2023, 05:30:09 PM
I'm actually confused with games of pool, billiards, and snooker. I think what many calls billiards is not really a game of billiards but a game of pool. Snooker is quiet easy to distinguish because of its red balls without numbers. But the three games are actually different not just in terms of mechanics but also in terms of the number of balls, even ball sizes, tables, even the table mats, etc.

I haven't bet on a game of billiards. But I noticed that it is not normally offered by bookies. Snooker is the more popular game in terms of betting.
Maybe this: https://quedos.com.au/difference-between-billiards-pool-and-snooker/ site will help you differentiate them better. What I found according to that site or even outside is that the major difference between the three is the table pockets, size of the table and then the balls.

I don't want to give much spoiler but you can just try reading the link I gave to you. Billiard isn't just a term but it is actually a game. Same with snooker and pool. It only depends on which country you are in, because some of them are more popular on a certain country. For ours, it was the billiard are the ones who are more popular. In terms or betting, I rarely saw a site which supports billiard but snooker.

In gambling a gambler should gamble with his own earned money. If one conducts gambling with parents' money or common people's accumulated money, he will certainly face big disaster. Moreover, when a gambler makes a decision to place a large bet with someone else's money, it is considered a suicidal decision. The most appropriate rule is that if a gambler loses money, he is not liable to anyone. Gambling should be done with money that has legal works or earnings to recover.
For an addicted gambler, the temptation to use other people's money is very strong, it started with a small bet then he chases his losses, until he losses the money that is not his, that's what happens to the girl in the article, this is the gravest sin of gamblers, gambling not with his own money, this is one of the reasons why companies do background checking on their employees holding a position about finances in the company to see if he has a gambling addiction.
That's because they don't have money left and then they already sold all their valuable items and have pending loans but their urge to gamble is still there and it became more intense than before so their only hope to gamble again is to steal someone else money. There is no way that an addicted gambler will bet small, more if the money they gamble is not theirs. They will have no fear of losing it and they don't also care if what can happen to them once they get caught out.

For now, what is important for them is to feed their appetite and that is to play gambling. That is how dangerous being addicted to gambling, so it's important to know the signs and prevent it early before it gets worse.

There are many lay gamblers who rely on asking questions without having to find out for themselves about the questions or information they want.
most of them neglect to read the terms before registering an account. that is the habit of fiat online gamblers. when they get a new site recommendation from their friends or based on advertisements on social media, especially if the casino holds a new event. they immediately created an account as quickly as possible and made a deposit. just to catch up on the running event.
many of the newbies ask questions even when they have a problem they can't solve. and they will surely regret it turns out that they broke the casino rules.
They can neglect reading but at least they can ask up a question. That wasn't totally bad in my opinion. Laziness doesn't only occur to fiat gamblers but it happens to all even to some of us who only plays at a crypto casino. This is wrong and needs to be corrected before something bad happens to our account or to our funds.

I can relate to what you have said about FOMO when there are gambling promotions but my only difference from the rest is that I try to read the terms and conditions of the promotion first before making any deposit so that I won't be screwed because you know, promotions are sometimes misleading. I remember they got me one time.

Not only in crypto, but even loans taken for business needs to be put to work very carefully. You cannot just invest your borrowed capital into something that you are not sure of running profitable, since you need to pay that back - with interest.

About crypto, it is only recommended to invest only what you think will not affect you or anyone in any way if it's lost.
So, it is definitely not recommended to borrow money and trade cryptocurrencies with it, unless you are a 1000% sure that you will get some profit out of it which is very rare.

Man city has always played very well in other leagues but in FA cup man city is in 9th position and Arsenal is in 4th position in terms of points. Man city played well in today's match and won 1-0.  It was a commendable match for man city as Arsenal played very good football. I wanted to bet for man city but missed the bet due to other work. And on the other hand I was a bit confused about man city which is why I didn't show much interest in it
Definitely a lucky game for them, and by the looks of it they managed to take FA cup out of equation for Arsenal, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. It's good because at least City has a chance to win and Arsenal doesn't anymore, that is good for City, would be bad if they lost.

However, this also means that Arsenal now has only 2 things they will fight for, just the league and europa, and europa is great but they would pick a league title over europa for sure. It means that this loss could be considered a bit of a good thing for Arsenal, it puts all of their power into lesser things, and they will end up working a lot harder on the league because of this and get less tired.

OP is looking for a casino where when he deposits in bitcoin he can withdraw 1 bitcoin when he wants to withdraw, even if he wins and keeps 2 bitcoin and the price of bitcoin drops a lot OP could still withdraw 2 BTC, OP wants casino that does not convert crypto to fiat, I gave an example of the stake that they didn't convert to, I don't know if I'm not wrong, because when the person puts it to see the balance in FIAT, every time the price of the currency fluctuates, the person realizes that the balance is rising or falling

but when the balance is in cryptocurrency I see it and even when market prices go up or down the balance remains the same, I could be wrong about that
Haven't heard a Bitcoin/Crypto casino who has a minimum of 1 BTC or more for withdrawal. That's crazy high and no small gamblers will ever be attracted with that but most gambling sites that I came across do only have a low minimum withdrawal. Usually it was 0.0005 or 0.0003 Sats/BTC. Some minus the fee while some requires you add the fee manually. Stake does not convert our crypto to fiat but I think there was an option to see the balance in fiat value.

It's helpful if one is new to crypto and not familiar with their value. I think everyone are already aware that cryptos are volatile in terms of price so it doesn't really bother them when they see their balance changes from time to time.

Yes @op and I think all gamblers (if not most) already know this fact. The specific term for this is called "House Edge" the HE differs from each games. Some are high and some are low but despite of it, many gamblers still can't resist their addiction. They won't stop until they win a really huge amount or lose all their balances. There are casinos who set their house edges to the highest level but it's obvious because casinos are kinda similar when it comes to this matter.

If I see a casino like that which aren't fair, ill automatically avoid them. The stories you heard are true because even we normal gamblers already experienced it even if we haven't win the jackpot yet, just a sufficient amount but we can't help it to keep coming back in our favourite casinos.
