241  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Innovation in online gambling on: December 24, 2023, 08:56:05 PM
I would like to make this topic to discuss innovations in online gambling.
Crypto gambling has brought on a lot of innovation in the scene, however some might say that in the last few years online casinos have been sticking with tried and tested strategies, not really introducing that many new games or innovations to existing ones.

So what has been your experiences with gambling recently? Have you seen any games that impressed you?
For me personally I really liked the provably fair blackjack at Stake. I wish there would be more single player card games that are also provably fair.

What innovations can we expect? If I only add a game category, I don't think it's innovation, because I think innovation should be more about functions that make things easier for users. For example, transaction fees are cheaper on weekends, or for example funds from gambling sites can be directly converted according to the currency of each player's country. When referring to additions to the game, I don't think it can be said to be innovation. Most online casinos will adopt offline games to become online games. For Blackjack this is an old type of game,

Xabi Alonso have won MOTM countless times and that's the same Victor Boniface have won rookie for consecutive months, no more hidden truth because the facts have been stable out, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich have proclaim to be the best club in bundesliga. Leverkusen have grown to become one to the challenging club that poses threats for other opponents in the club. In as much Bayer Leverkusen have tried their best to maintain good winning shape, they also have the capacity of waiting for longer time to meet ends while Bayern Munich will keep attempting to draw points with the leading club which is very complicated.
Xabi Alonso is doing a good job making Bayer Leverkusen in the first place this season and boosting the players performance to the top. They don't have a top scorer like Harry Kane in Bayern who scored the double of Boniface, Leverkusen's best scorer, instead Bayer Leverkusen are counting in more than one player which makes them more threatening in the attack line.
The 4 points gap between the two teams might be overestimated because Bayern Munich still lacks one game against Union Berlin that will be held in January 24. Even though it is a certain Bayern Munich victory but who knows if Union could get a draw there. Until then, the situation is tense and Bayer Leverkusen should avoid points losses to avoid seeing Bayern Munich taking the lead and the Bundesliga title this season too Wink

Leverkusen's performance this season under the coaching of Xabi Alonso is very impressive.
With a composition of players who are not in the star category but can confirm a record of 25 matches without losing. And makes the Bundesliga competition even more exciting.

But I hope that Leverkusen's performance is not just luck, because I know that Xabi Alonso is a player who was trained by several great coaches at that time.
So I think he is smart enough to apply his playing philosophy to Leverkusen.

It will be interesting when Leverkusen can win the Bundesliga, because it breaks Munich's record of always winning every season.
It should be like this, there is a worthy opponent to win the Bundesliga throne so that it can influence the valuation of players in the league.
243  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 24, 2023, 07:11:08 PM
I came across on YouTube where a gambling casino social influencer was streaming about a casinos platform.
He literally brought out his phone and was illustrating to the audiences that it is just few steps to take the winning on your games which is making choice of your predictions, choose amount to bet and also indicate his hashtag referral code and click on confirm.
Immediately you get credited directly to your account that just you won.
I just smiled but I want to ask, how many of you guys develops interests on a particular casino platform due to the influence of the casinos streamers?

This kind of influencer is widely used by online gambling platforms. The target is their viewers who are still laypeople.
Because basically ordinary people will be easily influenced by things that are "easy ways to get money".
Therefore, these influencers will provide direct tutorials, which viewers can practice directly. For viewers, this is the easiest way.
To be honest, I myself wasn't really influenced by this streamer, I even got information about online gambling from my friends.
But what you need to pay attention to is filtering out which influencers are trustworthy and have high credibility.

Looks like Erik Ten Hag may lose his job in 2024. Looking at history of Manchester United, it’s understandable that the fans cannot stand the current mediocrity at the club. Judging by the performance of United this season, ETH deserves the sack so far but perhaps  Manchester United should be more patient just the way Arsenal gave to Mikel Arterta. Klopp first 3 years at Liverpool weren’t that great either. But they have progressed to do big things at their respective clubs
With ETH he first Gave the impression that he was capable when he was first brought to Manchester united where he did helped the team move from their very bad form the to getting to qualify for the champions league and finishing at the third position in the premier league with a very good point margin which made the fans have confidence in ten hag.

Earlier this season during the transfer windows, he did made decisions which have affected the team uptill date, earlier while making this decision to sell certain players it wasn't a welcome idea by the team and most fans but then he went on to carry out his bidding because he felt that was how best he can work and after all he still failed and he's yet to show any remose or trying to proffer solutions to the current issues rather he keeps getting issues with his players and gett the team in their worse shape by every passing game, so it's obvious they should let him go so that the team can make progress.

Since Ten Hag first arrived, many people had high expectations. But they forget that Ten Hag is a mediocre category coach.
I think his decisions in choosing players have also caused a lot of controversy, even though most of them are star players.

The inconsistency of MU's game is very difficult to accept because in fact they are one of the big teams. This can be seen when MU faces middle class teams and lower class teams.
It's different when they meet big teams like Man City or Liverpool, they can actually play better. Yes, even though the result is only a draw.
245  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling sites and current transactions fee on: December 23, 2023, 07:28:27 PM
This increase occurs every time there is a bull run, I think it is natural because the dollar valuation follows the market.
But if the bitcoin unit does not change. This mechanism has been formed automatically.
However, unfortunately there are some exchangers who deliberately mark up transaction fees.
They take advantage of the momentum when there is a bull run to increase transaction costs which are sometimes crazy.

In my opinion, the most appropriate solution is to use another cheaper network or convert into another form of altcoin so that we can reduce transaction costs.
I prefer to hold my money on gambling sites until sufficient total funds have been collected, then I will move it to the exchanger. I don't really care about transaction fees when I have more than enough money to withdraw.
246  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Which one did you use to gamble with more on: December 23, 2023, 06:38:08 PM
I prefer staking before matches start when I started to gamble as a newbie. I later prefer virtual matches. I left both to staking on live matches which is what I gamble with most on bookies now.

This is just for fun. Let us post and have fun to know which one that most people on this forum that are posting on this gambling board like most.


Do not gamble more than you can afford to lose.

I am a person who likes to bet before the match starts, because I can be more calm in determining the bet.
In contrast to betting while the match is in progress, this is more troublesome for me.
Because basically I gamble just for fun, so I make it easier for me to do it.

But maybe someday I will try betting during the match, there's no harm in trying, right?
Whatever it is, the most important thing is that it is comfortable for each of you who bet. Don't let yourself be burdened by this game, just enjoy it.
247  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gamblers trickily claims they wins the bet while they never did. on: December 22, 2023, 10:10:56 PM
Don't be deceived, not every gamblers who actually claims that they won really won.
Some falsefully speculates that they won just because they want to pave an ease to those who has been advising them to quit or limits gambling simply because the gambler has been unlucky to win instead he keep betting over and over without a good bankroll management in their gambling carriers.
They basically do this because they feels disturbed and inconveniences of the people's opinions and advices towards the gamblers unprofitable gambling experiences

Sometimes gamblers need to do that to make themselves feel calm after losing. There's no problem about that.
It's just that there are many people out there who can't accept it when they see a gambler who is successful in his gambling journey, for example winning big or being able to live from the results of gambling.

The most important thing is that he doesn't do it to influence people to want to gamble, whether it's just for affiliates or anything like that. Because it's the same as inviting people to make their lives worse.
It's better to tell about the pleasure of gambling so as not to give rise to negative perceptions, because for me gambling is entertainment when I really need time to entertain myself from my daily work routine which is quite busy.
248  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [FINAL] FIFA Club World Cup; Manchester City vs Fluminense on: December 22, 2023, 09:56:27 PM
The levels of the two teams are quite different, and player price valuations are also very different. But this is the final match, both teams must prepare carefully.
And we can see that Man City certainly dominates the game, with 4 goals without reply. Of course, many people were betting on this final match.

It's not a difficult result to predict, but you also have to respect Fluminense because they competed quite well even though the result was a loss.
This victory is an important asset for Man City to restore their team's confidence after the last few matches in the Premier League did not meet expectations.
Once again congratulations to Man City, they deserved to get the trophy.

If Real Madrid comes for Osimhen he should go there as he has what it takes to succeed in the Spanish capital. I won't advise him to go to Chelsea as he will not be utilized and his potential will and he will go under the radar. Arsenal is also a good move for him but he should not dream of going to Chelsea or Manchester United.
Sooner or later I believe Mbappe will join Real Madrid, so if that happens, it doesn't a good decision for Real Madrid to sign Osimhen since they will have two good center forward at the same time.

Chelsea is still developing, while Arsenal could be a good option, Osimhen can choose whichever he want except Manchester United since Ten Hag will give priority to Rashford despite he's flopped.
Yes, I agree with you that he will continue to be retained at Napoli and the efforts of Napoli management have been seen by setting a very high price, making any club hesitant to get him unless he waits until his contract expires and there are still 2 seasons left.
Kylian Mbappe is still doubtful and it is still a mystery where he will go and it makes more sense if he joins Real Madrid to be able to have a successful career in the future but still Mbappe's departure will also provide a mystery that is difficult to predict because of several other big clubs also targeting him.
Yes, Arsenal could be the best choice for Osimhen because on the one hand, Arsenal actually has bright opportunities in the future, it's just that this club lacks very reliable players and if Osimhen can choose to join Arsenal, the future for Arsenal and Osimhen will be better.

The transfer drama of Mbappe's move is very sickening for Real Madrid fans. Luckily Bellingham came in when everyone was talking about Mbappe, even though the playing positions of the two of them were very different.
I see Real Madrid's interest in Oshimen, which is more realistic and less drama. His game is good, he is also a pure top scorer. It would be great if Oshimen could join Madrid, chances are his career will be good.
But on the other hand, Haaland's name is also on Real Madrid's radar, having a clause worth 200 million euros. Yes, the transfer value of these three players is almost the same, Mbappe, Oshimen and Haaland.
Apart from that, we know that Florentina Perez is brave enough to pay the contract clauses of the players she really wants at a high price.
251  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: December 21, 2023, 08:39:52 PM
Was ist that Ancelotti used him intentionally as some kind of center forward or did Bellingham begin to interpret his role on the field differently and then it turned out how dangerous he is at scoring? I can't recall whether Ancelotti wanted him to play that way or whether he decided to go for it and then it went so well for him that Ancelotti gave him maximum freedom. But whatever the case was, every team can only wish for a player like Bellingham who is so strong in literally any position and movement on the pitch.

Ancelotti positioned Bellingham like Kaka when he played for AC Milan, he put him as an Attacking Midfielder who also doubles as a false 9.
Initially, many people were surprised by that, but the fact is that now he is the most fertile Midfielder in the Champions League this season.

And it is effective in helping Real Madrid win every match, because Bellingham is almost never absent in all matches. But he has a high risk of injury due to fatigue.
In the upcoming transfer market, Madrid should buy a pure striker, so that they don't just rely on Bellingham.
252  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: What's your view on this? Is it fun or addiction? on: December 21, 2023, 04:16:24 PM
Gambling should not be the highest priority in life. Moreover, having to use money from a loan to gamble is the same as risking your whole life.
But it seems like this is sarcastic language for your friend who is addicted to gambling. Because whatever it is, you have to gamble happily, without using all your funds.
What is written is really stupid advice in my opinion, because it influences your friend to use the money from the loan and tells him to continue gambling.
253  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: December 21, 2023, 06:01:09 AM
Barcelona have been poor lately after failing to win any if their last 3 matches in all competitions before today’s match against Almeria. They got lucky to win the match today, Almeria also showed they cannot be underrated and fought hard but they couldn’t get any points today. Barcelona really needs to up their game else they will get nowhere, they currently 3rd position in the La Liga and got promoted to the Champions league round of 16 but the question is with this form can they go far beyond the knockout stage? Can they even win Napoli? I think they can if they try their their best because Napoli is also not performing well.
Barcelona's recent performance has been a little more disappointing because they got less than satisfactory results in the previous two matches, losing against Gorona, drawing against Valencia and only winning the last match against Almeria. But in this victory I saw that their strength was still quite weak and Almeria could even give the match a draw if they really took advantage of the last opportunity before the match was over.

In the round of 16 they will face Napoli and for Xavi Hernandez, this is an important match so that they are not eliminated in the next round. Napoli is not an easy opponent even though their current performance is not much better than Barcelona, but Barcelona must be quite wary of the surprises that Napoli will give them.

Barcelona's game in the last few matches has been very bad, and not like the Barcelona we know.
Yesterday they were almost unable to win against Almeria, even though Almeria is the bottom of La Liga.
Xavi's position is threatened, because Barcelona will also face a tough match in the Champions League. Like it or not, Barca has to prepare a new coach to achieve optimal results.
Because with the composition of star players, Barca should be able to win every match that looks easier to beat.

Digital currencies are indeed very innovative and strong in terms of security, transaction speed and transparency.
But unfortunately it can only be enjoyed by people with middle and upper economic levels.
For people from lower economic backgrounds, it is very difficult to use it because there is limited internet access in remote areas of small towns which is not evenly distributed.
Because in fact we know that digital currency can only be accessed via the internet network.

Manchester and Real Madrid are actually the favorites again this season, but I don't the two of them are too good enough to be finalist this season like they do last season, because so many teams are trying their best to win the Champions League, and as a team, some of them are playing well more than these two teams; all I know is that, this season will come with some surprises.
I doubt if Manchester City could be able to win Real Madrid on the finals if they both eventually qualify to the final of the game because real Madrid is a professional and more experience than Manchester City because they always win Manchester City whenever they meet them on the champions League finals, however I could remember how there last meeting on the champions league finals ended up after all the performance of Manchester City on that final but real Madrid was able to prove to them that they are more deserving to win the champions league than Manchester City, but however let's see how the end of the season will look like because with the consideration of performance real Madrid and Manchester City are the best candidate to qualify for the finals because they don't have much of a rival.

Real Madrid does have a big chance of winning the Champions League apart from Man City, but don't forget that there is also Bayer Munich who also has the mentality to become champions.
For Man City it was a bit tough, they lost several players who last season were able to beat Real Madrid with a landslide score.
But there are many underdog teams that have qualified for the last 16, which will be very interesting because it can make it difficult for some of the big teams who are regular champions.
256  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does match fixing concern you often? on: December 18, 2023, 08:02:17 AM
I recently had this thiught, that in many places the stakes for betting can be so high, that in many occasions it might be worth money wise for team bosses to fix a match result and still have enough to pay everyone involved instead of just playing fairly for a good clean win.

Some might think that this issue could be especially prevalent in smaller countries where streaming rights and add may not pay teams that much... But I guess match fixing could also be a big issue in big countries with popular leagues because there the stakes for betting are even higher.

On the other hand, it's probably not so healthy to think about match fixing as a gambler that much because there's very little you can do to actually have recourse against it as a mere player, as match fixing is organized at a very high level.

What have your experiences about this been? Is match fixing considered a common occurrence in leagues you place bets at?

Small leagues have a big potential for match fixing, because sponsors for small leagues are usually not large. Therefore, the possibility of match fixing is very possible.
Small clubs that have poor finances are easily tempted by the practice of match fixing. Not a few small club players usually ask to find a football mafia bookie to fix the scores.

This is different from the high league level which prioritizes fair play, and each club is required to have good financial health.
Because this score fixing is complex, the perpetrators can be club owners, club staff, club players and even the federation.

Incredible performance by Real Madrid with scoring 4 goals tonight

A good performance from Real Madrid to send them back to the top of league standings atleast until Giro na plays tomorrow.  Loosing David Alaba is a huge blow and Real Madrid will definitely be trying to get in a temporal replacement for the talisman

Good season so far for real Madrid as they look to win the la Liga title this season


Losing alaba was nothing for real madrid. As you can see that how bellingham was creating the opening goal for the el real. Glad to see that brahim diaz and modric was also adding more scores to win against villareal. Bellingham was always bring very positive vibes to the club.
No doubt that if he playing confidently in real madrid. His performance will even better caused by his brother will be also joining in real madrid soon. Almost all of real madrid players have very good ball control.
They were not blindly shooting the ball. Most of them were having very accurate shoot especially valverde. The opportunity for real madrid to win la liga is quite big right now. barcelona has huge gaps toward real madrid and girona.

Bellingham is always able helping his club to leave from the difficult situation like that. Glad to see that bellingham has been showing his usefulness for the club anytime.
The most successful transfer by real madrid in this decade. No doubt people are starting to praise him as a new star in real madrid. bellingham is always deliver.

This season Real Madrid lost 3 key players due to ACL injuries, which could be a very tough blow. What we know is that Madrid has to win 3 championships, La Liga, Champions League and Copa Del Rey.
Currently there are only Nacho and Rudiger left for the Center Back position. There is also another option, namely placing Tchouameni, who has just recovered from injury, as a Center Back.
It's been a very difficult season for Real Madrid, but fortunately they have a lot of good midfielders in stock.
In the January transfer market, Real Madrid should buy a Center Back to cover the positions left by Alaba and Militao. Because I think Real Madrid will focus on winning La Liga and the Champions League.
258  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think that this is aperfect analogy of how gambling addiction starts? on: December 17, 2023, 07:34:17 PM
People who understand probability will not be addicted to gambling, because they know when to enter and when to end betting.
The only reason I believe why gambling is addictive is because the human brain is taught the phrase "you can win big by gambling".
This makes people compete to risk their money to gamble and hope to win big. The more often he loses, the more his subconscious mind automatically appears to want to play more often to take revenge for his defeat.
259  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 17, 2023, 05:32:04 PM
Liverpool team is very strong. Liverpool team will play at home against Manchester United today. I think Liverpool will win today. Manchester United's performance has been very erratic. Liverpool can beat Manchester United only if Liverpool's performance is stable. United's defense is also quite weak.
The only fear I have for the Manchester United sides is their goal keeper, Onana. He has been consistently making mistakes that were never there before he was signed. Even in the ongoing match, he already committed a mistake that can lead to a goal.  Apart from this, Manchester United is playing so well. Nevertheless, draw is not a bad result for Manchester United.

Manchester United goalkeeper Onana has made several mistakes. And Manchester United conceded the goal due to Onana's mistake. However, at the same time, Manchester United's defense is also very weak. Poor defense can easily create scoring opportunities for opponents. Without improving the defense, only onana should not be blamed.
It seems that Liverpool really dominated the game and I think it's only a matter of time before they score. Man United was completely helpless, and they were really forced to play full defense, so there are practically not many attacks that Man United can make.

There is one thing that is bothering me. For what reason does Ten Hag always play McTominay even though he doesn't have much to contribute, apart from just scoring a lucky goal which he doesn't seem to have anymore. In this match, he often made the wrong passes and he couldn't even hold the ball.

Ten Hag only plays his favorite players. Even though there are still several good midfielders such as Amrabat, Casemiro and Eriksen that he could use as options to play.
Sometimes I find it difficult to understand the tactics Ten Hag uses. So far the game has not been consistent.
Right now I'm watching the Liverpool vs Manchester United match, the first half statistics are dominated by Liverpool even though the finishing still hasn't resulted in a goal. With almost 68% ball possession, a total of 15 shots.

If Ten Hag loses this match, it is not impossible that he will be kicked from the Manchester United coaching chair.
Because remembering that Manchester United was slaughtered 7-0 by Liverpool in Week 26 of the Premier League.

Just trying to get the communities opinion based on their experience about the topic.

Personally, a a bettor, I find it very stressful when watching the game you are betting especially if it will end up a losing bet.

If we have the same experience, how do you cope up with that problem, after all, gambling should be fun but why we have this kind of feeling that we feel disappointed when our bet loses?

It's humane if you are disappointed by losing a bet. You just need to play more relaxed, nothing can be predicted precisely in gambling. Limit your losses so you don't get depressed.
The more often you play, the more often you will lose if you don't play with a clear mind.
Gambling is fun, don't make it a pressure. Play moderately, take your money when you win. That will make you calmer.
Many people lose money because they don't enjoy the game, they are quite stressed when it comes to playing.
