Why is voting for the final only for three teams? while the possibility is that 4 teams have the same chance, it's not impossible for the final to be Croatia vs France or Croatia vs Morocco although I don't think Morocco will be able to beat France who has always played well from the start of this tournament, I think Morocco's surprise will not continue.

Yes, it is very strange that Morocco is in the selection options, and Croatia, which played in the last final, is not. As for Croatia against France, I would not be sure of a French victory if this meeting takes place. Even against England, although France looked good, if not for Kane and the generally poor conversion of scoring chances, then France could already go home.
Precisely that was the view of people from the start towards Morocco, it was impossible to beat this and that national team but the proof was that Morocco kept silent with the result which made the giant national team lose. From the start, Morocco had many doubts, including even now facing France, the chances are not much different. I don't think that whatever the result is for France, don't let it get big. The shock was very painful and this applies to them when they face Morocco later.

As for Croatia, it was not much different, people favored Brazil at that time, and for whatever reason Brazil has become the most powerful candidate for the national team, but once again Croatia also silenced the giant national team. So is it still worth hoping for another surprise in the semifinals this time?

As I predicted ... the wager requirement were increased to $10 500...... to be able to claim these Bonus drops. So many people will not even be able to claim one. The highrollers are the only ones that will be able to claim it.... if they stay awake for 24 hours.  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Where will this end?..... $50 000 wager requirement at the end of this 25 day Xmas promotion? In the end.... most of this money goes back into the pocket of Stake.... and no bots would have touched a single cent.  Undecided
As a casual gambler and not too keen on promotions, this is my daily routine. Wagering requirements for Christmas are not easy targets for gamblers like me. As you said, it's the higher-ups who are going to be on it for a great end to the year. For example, there are several levels of promotions that may apply to small gamblers so they can enjoy Christmas promotions this year.

That $50,000 wagering requirement will be a steady profit even more than the amount the casino spends on the promotion.  Grin

Kante will be released by Chelsea most probably if he doesn't get any contract offer until next summer. He was a really important player for Chelsea before but now things are completely different. The injury has made things really bad for him.
When Kante was injured for a long time, in fact Chelsea did not make good use of the players who were on the bench. Even though there are still many players who have the potential to contribute to Chelsea. But now Ziyech will be the target of a big club and if indeed he is released by Chelsea then there will be an inflated price offer for this player. The performance he showed in the World Cup was also enough to make him rise to the surface again.

Everything is risky, and there are no absolute guarantees, if you don't trust the bank, it is not safe to keep cash or convert it all to bitcoin. If you keep too much cash in your home, your property is easy to be taken by thieves or you hold it in bitcoin, and there is no guarantee that incidents like a house fire, natural disaster, or you lose your private key...all of these things are likely to happen. The best solution is to divide them into different parts, don't put all your eggs in one basket.
You are right everyone has risks, depositing money in the bank then a recession that unnoticed forced the banks to close their withdrawal services and wow everyone became poor together because the banks stopped withdrawing all types of money. But somehow I tend not to trust banks except my wife.

You are absolutely correct, there is no such thing as a waste of money when it comes to the purchase of a car or an apartment, both of which are necessities necessary for us to live. I believe that we all strive every day, work more, invest more, and the ultimate goal is mainly to buy a house to live in as well as to have transportation to serve work. You can't work hard all your life and just stay in a rented house, and walk to work but your money is kept in a passbook, that's not life. Use money for the right purpose, don't be too wasteful and don't be too thrifty.
However, human nature is always wanting to get social status in the eyes of society. Buying cars, and luxury home appliances and perhaps showing assets owned to be a disease that invites people to feel like they want to be praised. You really use the money you have for the right purposes, but being thrifty shows how difficult it is to make money in the midst of other people who work only to survive one day.

The option to go to Real Madrid is the right move, because it is possible that Ancelotti will make a rotation, considering that they play in the Champions League and La Liga, so Jude Bellingham can take advantage of Karim Benzema alternately. While the opportunity to go to Manchester City will actually make it difficult for Jude Bellingham to get playing time, because they have a tough striker like Erling Haaland whose current position has not been replaced under Pep Guardiola or must go through the consistency of Julian Alvarez and Riyad Mahrez.

However, if you really want to secure a regular place, Chelsea and Liverpool are the two clubs that can provide guarantees for Jude Bellingham, even though there is no agreement yet on where the player will go, because the transfer market has not yet opened and there is still the possibility of unexpected events.

In fact, Liverpool and Chelsea now look no better than Borussia  Grin It sounds ridiculous but Borussia are more likely to qualify for the Champions League next year than Chelsea/Liverpool. The best option is Real - Benzema's place will be vacated due to his age and in general Real have no problems in order to play 2 strikers.
Liverpool and Chelsea are currently rocked by instability. Both from the side of the game which looks so chaotic this season and the internal side which is not in full support, the next half of the season still doesn't look so promising. But I totally agree Jude Bellingham needs to consider Real Madrid, apart from having a bright future at Real Madrid, at least his current position at Real Madrid is very special if Jude Bellingham decides to go to Los Blancos.

That's true Morocco tactics and strategies worked till now and that has brought them  till here but after that theu have to face France on semi-final which is the strongest of them and their game is as fierce as Morocco.  This is going to be an intense match and now I think Morocco will not make it to finals because of France.
Morocco makes up a solid defensive team, and there is no doubt that big teams have fallen victim to Morocco strong defense. They didn't do many attacks on the opponent's defense, but playing simple, namely defending and taking advantage of counterattacks as the key to reversal, looked more dangerous. Initially, Morocco was not the leading team since the first time they played. However, the golden generation of Morocco has been able to prove that they don't need to be the top team, but with the evidence that has taken them to the semi-finals, nothing is impossible in football and France should take this as a threat. One more thing, the goalkeeper from Morocco is the only goalkeeper who has only conceded 1 goal throughout this year's world cup.

Furthermore, Morocco's defense is fantastic, no opponent can score against them. Africa continues to dream. In this tournament, Morocco played their hearts out. Their play was motivated by a desire to win. African teams need to stop being underrated, one day we'll watch them lead the way.

There are giant killers, but it's time to let them go? In the semi-final, they will be facing France, which is the strongest opponent.
Morocco is my favorite team to represent Africa, even several teams that have fallen like Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Iran and Tunisia fully support Morocco as their representative. In my opinion, France should be more careful, because the more Morocco advances to the semifinals, the more they try to finalize their strategy. If you don't want the same thing that happened to Portugal to happen to the French squad, then the French coach needs to think harder.

This is undoubtedly Cristiano Ronaldo's last World Cup. I want Portugal to win today's match. Portugal have performed very well in this World Cup, while there is no way to underestimate Morocco, they have performed well enough to reach this stage. But since there are many dramatic events happening in this World Cup, it is not possible to predict exactly who will win this match.
Morocco vs Portugal has started

For the second time that Ronaldo has been on the bench, maybe Santos realized that the game would be much livelier. It is undeniable that the benchmark against Switzerland is an option for Santos to use the same formation.

This is of course the best choice, because chasing points early and making the opponent's mental down is the main goal. But keep in mind, Morocco has a good defensive game, so it won't be easy for Portugal to take advantage quickly.

Now you have $100,000 in your account, pure savings, and you don't need this amount of money to cover your daily expenses. Obviously it's good/free money to use at will. Let's say if you deposit the money into a bank and the annual interst rate is 3%, you will get a steady interest income year by year. If you use this money to buy Bitcoin, let's say the BTC drops to $17,000, you'll buy less than 6 Bitcoins. In the long run, what would you do with this money ? And why ?
I don't like to fantasize about money matters, but when you have that kind of money, the first thing that comes to mind is to spend it on fulfilling your ambition, having fun, taking a vacation to the place you want to go most. It's all based on natural human instincts. But when it comes to investing it's clear I choose bitcoins and withdraw them in cold wallets with complete control. I don't trust the bank to save that much money, because you know that the money you keep in the bank is only nominal, while our physical money is circulated by bankers to be lent to other people. As a result, it is better to keep a pile of money at home or buy Bitcoins with complete control over your own legitimate assets rather than having to keep them in a bank.

Extraordinary matches throughout this year's World Cup deserve to be given to the performances of Argentina and the Netherlands, because they both play well, are entertaining and certainly feel the heat of competition. Argentina is still the Argentins who have always been the biggest obstacle for the Dutch national team to get to the top. It's only natural that the Netherlands is called a hero without a crown, yes because Argentina is the only handler for the Netherlands to go further. In the world cup last season also ended in the hands of Argentina.

again Messi silenced Van Gaal words after the penalty drama ended. Very dramatic, and furthermore whether the fate of Portugal will be a big question mark. Morocco is not a national team that is easily conquered, and its mentality is not easy to fade. Morocco's golden generation of players are in the spotlight, being hailed as dark horses at this year's World Cup. It's nice to be able to bet on Morocco because this is a moment that is quite difficult to predict.

Croatia clearly controlled the game in the first half, and so far Brazil has been unable to penetrate the Croatian defense. Croatia's game is much more open and more flexible when using counterattacks. Brazil currently needs to play more openly if they want to get past the Croatian defender who is very tight.

Brazil movements often failed, even Viny and Neymar were closely guarded by 2 to 3 Croatian players. So it is difficult for Brazil to penetrate the defense. There must be a change in the second half if you don't want it to end in a penalty shootout. Because for Brazil it is considered a burden if they are still unable to score a goal.

I am that stressed that I need to take a break after my work (which is so stressful that I am having a mental breakdown, and I am planning to resign soon).


The more stressed, the more we have to reward ourselves, we work for a better life, not try to torture ourselves. I don't know what kind of work you do that is so stressful, it's not good for your health in the long run. Reward yourself with rest days with family and friends after finishing work each week.

My work is also very stressful, and I often spend the first day of the week drinking with friends to relax before returning to work. Many people say that time is money and should not be wasted but if we only focus on the work, it can guarantee the quantity of work for you, but it does not ensure the quality of the work, then that will also become meaningless. So, don't neglect work but take time to take care of yourself and reward yourself with relaxing moments.

All activities are related to mentality, and psychologically people who are constantly under pressure because of demanding work tasks require that a person must be able to rest his mind with positive things. Let go of the burden for a moment, take the mood in various ways to gather with family, travel and activities that are positive. Ideally it is like that, but most people torture themselves to keep pushing work outside the schedule, working overtime and finally stress. The work is not complete, but the condition of the body becomes unhealthy.


Actually any job can be more fun if we like it.

Premier league is about to get started again as we wait for the world cup to be over.Arsenal are currently sitting on top of the table with five points clear above City who sit second,followed by Newcastle,and a bad news has come from world cup about Brazilian star man Gabriel Jesus being injured and will be out for about three months. This news is a very bad one for Arsenal because he is one of the reasons why Arsenal are ontop of the table now,and his absence my really affect their performances.
Nketiah will be the man to fill the space left by him.I pray his injury won't make Arsenal drop form.
Despite Arsenal position at the top of the standings and followed by Manchester City in second place, of course we can't miss Newcastle, who clearly started the season very extraordinary. They are now able to survive in the third standings to go further. The Champions League target for Newcastle is the price they have to pay. At the moment, neither Manchester City nor Arsenal should consider Newcastle a weak team. It could be an early move from the richest club to another club that will transform Newcastle into a Premier League threat club.

First quarter final match between Croatia vs Brazil today and seems excited because both team have mission can reach to semifinal and get dreaming become the winner in World Cup actually for Brazil last time become the winner in FIFA World Cup 2002. Several sportsbook Brazil is the favorite for winning this match depending fantastic odd given for Croatia above @8,80 with Brazil have little odd only @1,38.
I think for Croatia it will obviously be difficult to face a much more difficult Brazil squad. Because at this time the Brazilian players can be said to be players who are more effective in building attacks than seeing Croatia's performance, which mostly plays defensively. This will obviously be different from last season's world cup season, Croatia at that time was indeed a dark horse that could qualify, but Brazil here can definitely beat Croatia and go home.
1614  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 08, 2022, 04:36:46 PM
The question is, can Portugal conquer Morocco easily. I'm not sure, especially if "Ronaldo" becomes the Target Man again in the match later. I'm not too sure, if he will contribute much against Morocco later. on the other hand, many did not expect that Marocco would be able to advance to the quarter-finals and defeat their tough opponents. uniquely, Morocco and Croatia are in the same group. and these two teams, entered the quarter-finals.

IMO, Portugal is better off without Ronaldo, they play more freely and freely without the burden on the shoulders of the whole team. so I'm quite curious, what Fernando Santos will do with his strategy and the main starting line-up against Marocco later. on paper, Portugal is stronger in terms of team depth and has a higher probability of winning this match. however, don't be surprised if Marocco is able to keep up with Portugal's game.
If in order to penetrate the Morocco defense which looks solid and indeed the Morocco goalkeeper is currently in his optimal period, Portugal must consider the attack quite mature. Because Morocco style of play which utilizes counterattacks is far more dangerous. fortunately there is Pepe who can always overcome Portugal's back line. As for the composition of the Portuguese players, Ramos seems to be a new reference for Fernando Santos, because he gave a sharp game against Switzerland. If the current Ronaldo is clearly still difficult and sometimes other Portuguese players will focus on Ronaldo. Meanwhile, without Ronaldo, Bruno and Ramos are clearly more free.

Ww3 must start as war or big Crisis Are natural process after hyper inflation.
The war can reset world economy.
So for war there russia and with who ?
Russia can go to war with EU UK or USA But only one of them can be choosen.
So this time look like russia will go war with EU If war in EU zone then USA and UK economy Will be booming.


Does setting the economy back to zero have to be war again? cause crises and innocent victims? why offer such a terrible solution? while having alternatives for each country to build cooperation that is more logical and run on a safer path, of course war is not the best choice. Setting up a system to have more power does not need to beat the drums of war. In an era of increasingly advanced economy, increasingly sophisticated technology, humans must think more sensitively if what they have built must be destroyed in an instant.
 
There are many things in terms of the sector that can be processed, renewed and grow a person who is far more concerned. The economy of every major country only needs to process the resources it has. Not to repeat the dark tragedy.

Do you think Morocco was able to get past Portugal with the condition that they currently have a golden generation which has proven not to be due to luck being able to conquer Spain, Belgium or Canada. In terms of the Morocco formation filled with players who are quite aggressive. I know Portugal has a solid squad, even if we look at the squad without Ronaldo who is the starting eleven. It's not that Ronaldo played badly, it's just that looking at Portugal when Ronaldo was on the bench, the game actually looked more neat and focused and was able to play a very extraordinary rhythm.

After one week after the world cup is over, we will witness the inaugural match again between Brentford vs Tottenham, a risk for both because both Brentford and Tottenham have players who are active in the World Cup and have little rest time even though there is still no confirmation of players participating in the World Cup suffered a serious injury.

Regardless of the Premier League competition this season, I still think that Arsenal will still maintain its position in the standings. Although it does not rule out that Manchester City will continue to optimize its key players first.
1618  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2022/23 on: December 07, 2022, 04:40:06 PM
of course every player who competes in the world cup will experience an impact on their mentality if their country is eliminated from this prestigious event because every player must have high hopes at the world cup and especially for spain which is dominated by barcelona players eliminated after losing in a penalty shootout. of course the players who fail to score in the penalty shoot-out round will be overshadowed by guilt because their shot can be blocked by the opposing goalkeeper.

Many people think that Spain's defeat in the World Cup yesterday will have a more significant impact on Barcelona. Maybe this is related to the Spanish players who are dominated by Barcelona players, and there will be a lot of humiliation that Enrique will get, while not bringing in De Gea and Ramos, so in my opinion Barcelona must accept the consequences so far. Luis Enrique prioritizes young players, but the fact that World Cup experience is not enough will affect the performance of the team.
1619  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA 2022 world cup on: December 07, 2022, 04:04:30 PM
The storm in front of Morocco is certainly getting bigger, but seeing them playing through the leading national team, I hope Morocco can overcome Portugal. Sounds difficult, but at least they learn from Belgium, Canada, and Spain.

Furthermore, the competition is still interesting and the big teams will prepare for the risks next week. Argentina vs Netherlands will start next week with results that are difficult to predict. Both are quite strong and balanced in my opinion, both the Dutch and Argentine performances will show each other their best strength and step into the top 4.

a. to be "tight" to allow the males nubby to feel the inner lining of her genitals? (seems one sided and selfish)
b. STD prevention?
c. have no other experience to compare so think that bad sex is normal and just put up with a guy that cant do it right?

explain why you think a woman needs to limit her life experiences for the gratification of a man

(im male but i can see the gender equality/inequality of the issues)
Sorry, as a Muslim, I think it's an obligation that women need to be kept chaste before marriage. And sorry, maybe we don't share the same beliefs, so it's only natural for you to say so. It doesn't matter, but the context needs to be scrutinized friends, we focus on the context of one country, and what we talk about needs to refer to the rules of that country. Not compared to foreign countries that already have different rules from this point of view.


Can we get back on track as per the OP's topic? if the OP didn't mention a specific country, then you're free to speak broadly about such and such a policy.
