If it's possible for this kind of competition for fraud to occur, how much more to much smaller competitions. There are local and regional competitions everywhere. Some games must be rigged. Some detected, some not.

Here, there was also a national basketball competition where a team was obviously throwing the game. It was Manny Pacquiao himself who filed the case against those who were involved in the fixing.

I also have a neighbor who was a pro DOTA II player. He and his team were involved in match fixing. They were banned by Valve itself.

Fraud is also rampant in sports.

Thanks for having the courage to share it here, Op. Sometimes people who are experiencing compulsive gambling only need advice from the ex-gambler's community which can remind them and help them find ways to control their urge of betting. Having a helpful community that will have concern for other gamblers who are experiencing worse gambling addiction cases will surely save a lot of people. This is a good initiation.

A year will never be enough to get to know a person really well and I don't think their love for each other already has a strong foundation. Deciding to get married that early will surely have doubts along thr way as they discover each other's weaknesses.
As for me, it isn't a reason enough to leave a person because he is into gambling especially if you're committed to that person. You must not compare him to other gamblers as long as you don't know how he deals with gambling. Instead of dragging the person down, he should get to know him well first because there are still worse things that they could discover about each other along the way.

There's currently a heated issue between an older cousin of mine and his fiancee, it's a gambling related issue that's now looking like a threat to their relationship. Here's what happened;

My cousin as I know has been an active gambler for as long as I could remember and he's one person that gamble responsibly as he takes it as something that's part of a side hustling and nothing more and he added that the winning streaks he has been getting has really been supportive to him financially too. I get to know this cause that's what he told me when I asked him why does he have to engage in online gambling when he has a good paying job. The disturbing issue here is that a day ago his fiancee whom both have been dating for about a year now, she for the first time had access into his mail and discovered lots of email messages both previous and current from the particular gambling sites he has a gambling account with and her awareness of this has made her to ask my cousin to either chose between quiting from engaging in any form of gambling or ending their relationship.
Her reasons is because she has this brother that's into gambling and his gambling habit has led to him selling off important properties of his and some that belongs to the whole family just to meet up with his uncontrollable gambling urge. And this experience scares her to death having anything to do with anyone she notice that engages in gambles activities especially for someone she's in a serious relationship with, that she can't deal with such reality.

I'll really appreciate to have you share some advise on what decision to take if you were to find yourself in this my cousin shoe. For It's been a difficult moment for him this past two days as he has  been thinking of the financial support he at times get from the gambling wins and at same time his fiancee too.

Hi!
A few days ago, we were contacted by a platform helping people with gambling problems.
It's an online international platform with courses, self-assessment tests, videos, and a big community of ex gamblers.
I know there are people here that gamble too much, it's easily done. If you have problems, contact them. All their services are free to use.
I thought it was a good resource to share here. You find the platform here: https://quitgamble.com.

May the force be with you!

Both US and China-Taiwan have huge influence to economy, it would cause a crisis in every country because almost all countries are depends on neither US or China-Taiwan. But I don't think it's become a war like Russia-Ukraine where each country will hurt the other using military weapons, I would think both country will try to restrict or limit a way of the export and import which is an economy war. Then it's depends on US and China-Taiwan if they will start to war using military weapons or not, because they wouldn't being silent if they can't make money anymore.

Hello there,

As I was driving earlier, this thought came through my mind. I've been accumulating Bitcoin for quite some time now, and at some point eventually I'll have to withdraw it in fiat, at least some of it. I'm not sure when that time will come, and I'm definitely not selling for anything below $50,000, but that's another story. However, I've always kept my bitcoin away from exchanges, and I prefer that it stays that way for obvious reasons that have been discussed numerous times in the forum.

Not only do I want to avoid exchanges but also banks, which is currently the most convenient way to withdraw money, but if I were to move funds to a bank account, they'd get taxed at 24%, which is a huge percentage. I've also thought about Bitcoin ATMs, but the majority of them here require some sort of KYC and feature expensive fees, although they may still be a better option than bank transfers. Is there an actual, reliable way to exchange bitcoin for cash in hand? My best guess would be a P2P transaction in person, but that's quite unlikely.

Being a student is so hard nowadays. I've been spending a lot for school requirements and different activities related to education. I'm stuck with this saying "SAVING IS WASTING", thinking that with the little amount of money I have, should I put it on an investment or should I just save it for my future expenses or emergencies. I'm also living in a country in which there are limited side hustles I could do to earn extra for investment, so I'm troubled somehow.

That means the casino business is really a making huge income out from those random gamblers who might be staying for vacation or from their regular players who are mostly high rollers. I wouldn’t be surprised about that because Marina Bay Sands serves as the center of attraction in Singapore so obviously, a lot of tourists would target this place for pleasure and entertainment purposes.

I never imagined that the gambling business would be treated as an exclusive business, like in that article, because, looking at the building, it looked very large and spacious. And when we enter the room, we will be amazed to see that it is full of gambling machines that we can play in turn. This will make us curious and want to play it and of course, we will spend a lot of money to try the game one by one.

It is not surprising that many rich people will spend a lot of money to satisfy their desire to play gamble. And for the average gambler, I don't think it's the right place to have fun

The AI is continuously learning through neural networks. It's like training it to speak over and over again based on the inputs that it's receiving from users and from its original data set. It's programmed in a way to learn just like the brain, and its AI is really intelligent to get accurate results/responses to whatever question it's thrown at. For the gambling aspect, well it's a pretty basic concept, and it just needs to interchange between words that it deems appropriate to use based on the nature of the question.

I guess that's somehow expected from Naoya Inoue and his team because even if we say that a few pound difference is somehow nothing and won't matter, we shouldn't forget that Fulton owns this division and is already used to the weight when fighting unlike Inoue where this is his first time in the weight class and is already facing the 2-belt world champion. But still, my vote and money goes for Inoue in this bout. It will be hard to defy him after witnessing his greatness in the previous division.

Honestly, if this deal falls through, and Fury ends up fighting another Chisora I think he'd lose me as a fan, which is mad to say because I honestly think he's the best of this generation. I just can't be arsed for his antics. Sometimes they can be funny, and entertaining like the batman suit. However, the squabbling over contracts constantly, and not giving the fans what they want is annoying. Especially, when he's probably got two big fights left realistically. Just get it done, beat Usyk, then beat Joshua, and he could become the undisputed greatest of his generation. At the moment, there's question marks over it, even though I think he wipes the floor with both of these men personally.

At this stage of his career, I thought he'd be more interested in cementing that image in people's head, rather than money. The Fury family have plenty of money, and I always thought once you get to a certain amount of money which the Fury family certainly have hit, there's no real point going for excessive amounts, just live your life at that point.

Yes, it's true what you say. Perhaps some developers have launched a Beta for this program in the field of gambling but haven't said anything to the public. And perhaps that AI will be devoted to sports betting, which will help bettors to collect more complete and accurate information.

After some discussion in this thread, it makes me curious if this AI for sports betting has been launched. Surely there will be many curious people who want to try it too. And if they can win easily because they already have accurate information, it will make other people interested in using it.

Your uncle must be happy when he finds out that you are into crypto because finally there will now be someone to teach him about it and then he can now play on crypto-based casinos. I am not sure if there is a crypto casino who has a video tutorial about them but so far I only saw some of them who had a FAQ about crypto and on how to use it.

I guess that was enough already. We shouldn't expect more from them because they are only a casino and not a crypto wallet or a crypto trading platform. Many of them are now supporting fiat and bank payments so one should not stress themselves about crypto if they find it too complex.

To add to what you've just said, older people base on research diminish in strength and love for activities they were once used to, gambling is fun but they may not have that tenacity to think on how to bet without making mistakes, they can get use to doing some sort of exercise or little plays that can be brain teaming aside gambling, they should be eating with their little money in their hands and maintaining themselves than using it for gambling.

Farmers who have chickens for eggs especially on a large scale, easily get tired of eating the eggs from their chickens or even eggs in general. Caterers get tired of eating their own pastries, just as people who are exposed to certain produce get tired of them due to over exposure. Do you think this experience is the same for casino owners and owners of sports betting platforms?

Do you think that the owners of casinos and sports betting platform, gamble as much as other people do? If they gamble, do you think they gamble on their platform?
