~snip~
I personally am not a big supporter of the players to travel around during the World Cup. The players should be concentrating on how to play well instead of traveling from one country to another. And we all know that there can be a lot of problems with having multiple hosts of the World Cup. So why even go through that trouble?

Less traveling is going to make sure that the players are not tired and actually are concentrating on playing well in the World Cup matches. And something very famous right now going on in the West is rape allegations against the players. That is definitely going to happen less in my opinion if the players are not travelling from one country to another every other day.
Yeah, I also think it's simpler and better to have a single country hosting the world cup.

But based on the next world cup, and the following bids, we will be looking at multi-country world cups for at least a decade or so.

It's just the new normal. Also, there will be more countries in the competition, whether we like it or not.
I think the idea is that one nation may have certain amount of stadiums, and that's fine and dandy without a problem, but multiple nations could bring in all their best stadiums, so that would be great. Like one nation may have one huge stadium like wembley, but not every stadium will be like that, it will get worse, instead pick 3 and you have 3 wembley level stadiums and others are not that terrible neither.

Obviously England could host it all by itself but it is not really the candidate, but when you are talking about a nation like USA, there are stadiums with 15k seaters, that's not going to be enough. So, instead of that they go with the three nation thing which benefits the whole world cup to be a lot better.

Is it really good luck for you?
Which basic technique to use?
It's all about luck when it comes to gambling, because the casino has an advantage over us gamblers and we need luck on our side if we want to beat the casino. On average there will be more losers than winners at the casino, which is why we need luck to be able to make a profit from the casino. There are techniques than can help us to remain in control at the casino and have a better overview of our wins and losses. The Martingale strategy is for me be the best technique, because it only requires one win to make back all previous losses. Just don't trust people that want to sell you a perfect gambling strategy that will always make you money. It doesn't exist, there is always risk involved in even the best strategies.
I guess you haven't been a victim of the martingale strategy yet, otherwise, you wouldn't say that it is the best technique for you to recover your losses. Ask those who tried it and lost all their money. It's basically all dependent on your luck and it's not the strategy that's saving you, because as soon as you become unlucky, you will hit a losing streak so long that your martingale strategy won't be able to save you and you will eventually lose everything just because of martingale strategy.

Someone who doesn't use any strategies tends to save a lot of their balance because when you are using a strategy like martingale, you keep doubling your bet after every loss and that keeps increasing the risk and there is always a possibility of the loss streak extending and making you have an empty bankroll.

Op you would have opened two different threads for the two projects. And the two links in the op, it is only the exchange website is opening while the casino site is not working, it is just pure white screen. The major thing after having the casino site, it is to run the site with fairness and to make sure the support service very active. The new casino site you created still need small maintenance so that it will work well for visitors. The casino name funny and nice. It is a good a domain.
What two projects do you mean? He is only proposing one casino here but the other link that he posted is from an exchange. This is where his token is listed. Basically the link leads you to a trading pair of his own token LBC to USDT. I visit the casino link and it's working fine on my side. By the way I'm using a mobile phone and a Google Chrome browser. How about you? What device are you using? But the issue can also be in your internet connection.

Just try to access the site later on. If it's still the same, maybe it is just restricted on your own country. Any website needs a maintenance from time to time and it can be a big one because problems can occur constantly. The casino name is indeed goofy and unique from the rest that we know. I love it ❤️.
1024  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: September 07, 2023, 05:25:31 PM
Could you take a look back at the PSG club last season? They have three top stars, but Bayern Munich knocked them out of the Champions League. I will blame everything on PSG leaders and coach Christophe Galtier because he couldn't resolve the conflict in the team's locker room. In addition, PSG fans shouted and protested at Messi and Neymar's house. There will no longer be players dedicated to contributing to the team. Up to now, Mbappé also wants to leave to save his career. PSG's leadership is so bad that they deliberately pressured Mbappé to renew his contract. They acted unfairly in football.
Blame on PSG management for failure in last season and before this is 100% correct because they are spending huge funds but never try to understand soccer chemistry which is more important than these investments for having winning combination like we have in Manchester City and few other clubs right now they have good chance for the better results in future because coach and new players can create good combination which could be helpful for them.

But, now here again we need good decisions from the management can they do things which help this club for the better success and performance in coming years right now in this season we have no chance for them to lift the Champions League trophy, but this is possible in coming years patience and consistency is key for the success.
1025  Economy / Gambling / Re: My Take on iGaming Promotion Through Social Media on: September 07, 2023, 04:08:16 PM
Indeed, in most of the countries, restrictions aren't that with online gambling unlike with landbased ones. Therefore, engaging with social media advertisements would still benefit a gambling platform. Also, they won't spend money for something they do not know about so more likely those gambling sites who does so, have tested and saw the results of ads 'coz they'd be throwing their money if they won't know the negative consequences of it. Also, advertisement in any field doen't need to be too detailed. Recognition from players and potential players would be an enough result of social media engagement thru ads.
If I remember correctly, I think I read somewhere that Australia is about to ban online gambling ads from the country, and gambling platforms can't advertise their services online. Now, I'm not really sure if they are also going to ban online gambling platforms or if they are just banning the ads for the concern that it may lead to luring the younger generation towards gambling since we all know how enticed the young generation is with the digital world.

However, I'm not sure if that is the case with other countries and what their take regarding online gambling and their advertisements, but I feel most of them only allow casinos operating online with a valid license acquired from the licensing firms and authorities of the same country they are operating in.
1026  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: September 07, 2023, 11:36:36 AM
At least here in the United States, big time lotto winners going broke is a tale as old as time. The majority of people who tend to win these lotteries aren't financially savvy individuals (typically why they are wasting money on cheap lotto tickets in the first place instead of putting their money on shitcoins or penny stocks, for example, that actually have a lot better chance at "winning") so they get the money and blow it. 

Invest, invest and invest.  If you win a bunch of money gambling..invest it people.  Have fun, but invest the majority.
A person with a business mindset will definitely go for investing a very large chunk of the money they've won in something that they know can generate some money for them and that income stream won't just close down or cease to provide for him, and if one has a lot of money, they can create multiple streams for themselves and that will make their life easier. Even if someone wants to enjoy and have fun, they can always do that with the money they will earn from their businesses and investments.

However, a lot of people who manage to win significant amounts of money either through gambling or lotteries tend to waste that on materialistic things or just blow it away as you said, they don't make good use of the money and when the money runs out, that is when they realize what they've done.
1027  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Crypto betting on: September 07, 2023, 09:52:16 AM
Community feedback is one of the most important things one should consider before joining a platform because when you see multiple people rating a certain platform, you can have an idea how they actually are and you won't need to join the platform just to test it yourself since you will have to make a deposit for that as well.
I wouldn't recommend a new gambler to test many casinos at the same time, either. Community feedbacks is a good way to decide which casinos he needs to start with and which ones he needs to avoid. However, he needs to be carefull and don't believe all the feedbacks he reads on the internet as many of them are fake or simply written by inexperienced gamblers who do not know what they are talking about or how to make a proper review.
I believe this forum alone should be enough for someone gathering feedback about a particular platform if they are willing to join it, and the feedback that they get from here must be evaluated by him so that he doesn't get fooled by newbie accounts operated by the platform itself only so that they can promote their platform and write positive reviews all around the forum to make people believe that the casino is actually a good one since so many people are talking positive about it.

It's not that difficult to detect such users and fake reviews. People with good reputations and who are active members of the forum are the ones whose reviews and feedback should be taken seriously by the person doing their research and asking about reviews about the casino they are about to join.
1028  Economy / Gambling / Re: Help us build the greatest crypto casino on: September 07, 2023, 08:23:52 AM
once Op launch his casino then he need to have a promotion in order to catch more clients but that's too much money to be spend.and also you are right that mate he must catch the opinions of the gambler or want of a gambler in a specific casino and one of those is if the casino don't ask KYC then for sure a lot of gamblers will try and play cause gamblers want to stay snnounynous.
I wouldn't recommend a person who is starting a new casino to make it a non-KYC casino for which they will have to run their business without a license and that can cause problems for the business in the long run. Just because some gamblers don't like doing KYC, it doesn't mean that a casino should start their business without the necessary stuff such as a valid license to operate, and get their business in trouble in the future when authorities come to know about this.

So, even though a new casino will need to make sure that they make their services the best for their gamblers so that they can stay on the platform, they are not supposed to do things that can be harmful to their business because that will only make their business fail in the long run.
1029  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How Big is the online gambling industry today? on: September 07, 2023, 07:06:01 AM
Firstly, crypto gambling has grown tremendously over the past few years and online casinos are now available in all countries. But since it is banned in many countries so they are using more devices to hide their identity so that the government of their country does not have any influence of the law on the personal lifes of gamblers. Moreover people are getting rich overnight from online casino, but on the other hand many people are also losing money.
Don't say "people" are getting rich overnight from online gambling because that gives the impression that a lot of people are successfully doing that which is not true. Only a few people out of millions can be able to get significantly high amounts of money from gambling, and only if they are extremely lucky and it barely happens these days. So people shouldn't really get influenced by such things and hope that they can also get rich overnight if they gamble.

I see a lot of people gambling in front of me in the hope of getting a lot of money but what actually happens is that they keep losing more and more and to recover what they have lost, they spend more money on gambling but it is even not possible to recover what you have lost in gambling, getting rich is a totally different thing.

We have our own free choice and free will , if we dont wanna deal with KYC then dont play with it simple as that , I don't know why does others making it complicated when the site is not forcing them to play with them?
they should respect the rules or play no more.
On the other perspective, casinos are a business and they have owners and those owners have their own free will as well. So while we do have the right to play somewhere with KYC or not play there if we do not want to, it's all our own decision, these casinos also have an option to either follow the rules and have KYC if they want to or they may disagree and not have KYC if they do not want to.

We just have to accept their decision, it's their casino and they can do whatever they want with it and that should be the only important part of it. Without that, we are not going to end up with anything shocking like people pressuring a casino into removing KYC, that's not right and should not be happening at the moment.
1031  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Has your Responsible Gambling had any of these Effects on You? on: September 06, 2023, 04:29:31 PM
So far I don't have any problems with my gambling, because I always gamble only on weekends for a few dollars for fun.
Even if I want to play it, because weekends are my time with my wife and children, visiting my parents, hanging out with friends who sometimes don't have time to gamble. And other days I only have time to work and rest, and I have a big difference when I gamble compared to when I don't have a job and when I have a job.
And from all that I concluded and experienced and without stopping the habit of gambling, by having a job or activity that generates income, in this way I can gamble responsibly and work to earn the income that is my responsibility.
And I don't feel any loss either, and if I lose a few bucks, that's normal, because to enjoy the game and sometimes luck comes.
Unfortunately, not every gambler thinks this way about gambling, they don't consider gambling a tool that they can use only to get some entertainment and have some fun by spending just a small amount of money on it, because most of them take it too seriously, they don't do any job, and if they have a job, they eventually leave it just because they are not able to do their job properly and whatever they earn, they spend it all on their gambling activities.

People need to understand that gambling isn't a method that one can use to earn money constantly. It's not sustainable in the long run and even if someone manages to win for a few days, they will eventually have to face losses at the end and those losses can empty their whole bankroll in no time.
1032  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: September 06, 2023, 03:19:15 PM
The best players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, Neymar Jr joined the Saudi league and took the league to unique heights. Thus, if Saudi clubs add good players from more European clubs in the next season, then European football will be under some threat.
I didn't think that far ahead and looking at the prospects I saw a similar pattern to the previous China League which brought in top players from European leagues at fantastic prices and salaries but their popularity was only temporary.
And another reason, even though Saudi Arabia often participates in the World Cup, Saudi Arabia is not a country that has a football culture as strong as Europe.

Yes, I hope I'm not right. But in my opinion that is impossible to happen even though the Saudi League brings in a lot of top European players, and for Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, Neymar Jr, they are not what they used to be and it's all because of money.
There is too much discussion about this league and few linking with this as Chines League as well, but mostly peoples are not understanding the difference of cultures and also sources as well here Saudi League is completely different thing which is having few tasks which are achievable for them, and they are having good influence in European leagues and clubs as well which are helping them for doing things which are better for them but still their main target is changing peoples mind-set about this region and culture as well.

As suddenly we have huge investments and many top ranked players are playing for luxury salaries it's good but still their main goal is world cup and having soccer as best sport in this region even they can't compete with Europe in soccer culture but with these things they can do better things and also can bring their youths in better shape which are currently having nothing best in their lives with available sources.
1033  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: September 06, 2023, 02:28:40 PM
Maybe last season, or rather last season's success happened earlier than they had planned? And despite the fact that the club qualified for the Champions League, the management is not ready to change long-term plans because of this. And it's too early to judge whether it's reasonable or not - we have an example of Chelsea which spends a lot of money but achieves absolutely nothing.
Yes and I am not saying that Newcastle is making a big mistake here, but I think they could have been a bit more bold in the transfer market. The means are there and maybe they are throwing away some momentum now if they fail hard this season and so far it isn't looking good. It's still not catastrophic, but we know how quickly this can develop into a whole that they can't dig their way easily out of.
I don't know how profitable Newcastle is at the moment and how much financial margin they had, maybe you are right and they should have built on their success. But we don't know what's in the head of management, so it's hard to judge. Maybe they just want to be profitable first and see everything else as a bonus (the Arsenal model that seemed to never really start fighting for titles again and would just keep making money on transfers).
Right now, financial situation is not bad at the Newcastle United with they are back into top 15 clubs of the world after change of management and having place into Champions League give them good backup even right now we have no official statements about profit or loses, but they are doing good work with management is having long term plan for the bringing this club at the top of UEFA clubs.

But we have still few wired things which was not expected because as they were qualified for the Champions League we have few rumors about transfers like Neymar and Mbappé were also in limelight but suddenly all ends without any solid buying for this big event, and now they are having the toughest group as well which is surely not ideal situation, but we can expect good performance from them with right now they are having three matches losing streak in Premier League.
1034  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: September 06, 2023, 09:32:50 AM
I would make a little correction, that reckless gambling behaviour starts only after a huge win. The winner thinks that he is now the king of the world and can allow to lose some amout. So he starts to play risky bets. An average win round does not cause reckless gambling, because it only balances the amount lost.
And that mostly happens when that huge win comes in the very first gambling session of a person. For example, if you decide to start gambling, you take $50 and start gambling at a platform of your choice. You start playing slots and all of a sudden, you hit a very high multiplier, and your $50 turns into $5,000 or maybe more. After that, chances are that you might gamble and lose a part of it but you will obviously withdraw most of it but that is where the storm will begin.

Now when you have seen yourself winning a very large amount with just a small deposit, you will start thinking that you can easily win a higher amount if you make a higher deposit and also increase your initial bet, and you start doing that, you might not lose much in the first few sessions but you will eventually start losing but the hope of winning will keep you going, and that is how you get addicted to gambling.
1035  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket Asia Cup 2023! Which team will WIN? on: September 06, 2023, 08:32:33 AM

That was exceptional from AFG, the way they have batted was not expected by many. Nabi played a gem of an innings. Unfortunately for AFG, I think, they don't know that after 37.1 overs if they hit a six in the next three balls, they would still qualify.  
It was a really great match for the fans, never expected Afghanistan to come this close and once they reached touching distance, i expected them to win the match, one hell of a knock by Mohammad Nabi and the rest of the tail enders chips in with crucial knocks but disappointed when they could not win the match even with plenty of overs to spare even if you ignore the qualification aspect.
This was one of the best fight from Afghanistan for the place of Super Four but sadly due to inexperienced and some poor strategy they fail to achieve this historical win and lost match and place in top four Rashid Khan on crease, and they completely lost this all which is really poor day in this game for them now in last ten ODI matches they lost eight and won only two matches against Bangladesh which is the lowest level for them hopefully now they will learn from their mistakes and try to gain confidence in coming days because with this performance most chances they will be having no place into top eight teams in world cup.

Mohammad Nabi is surely quality all-rounder and his today's performance was one of the best from this player now they need to work on batting and fast bowling as well because they are doing good in 30 overs from spinners, but other twenty overs are hurting them badly even cause of their defeats as well.

Problem is most people have no stomach to lose 10+ or even 20+ tickets in a row, which often happens to me. But you get good streaks of 2 or even 1 big hit and it's nett green :p
That type of winning is definitely hard, but anyone who has wagered on 3-4 favourites to win in a single parlay would be able to say that it's even worse when you lose that because you may win 4-5 in a row, but then lose one and it's a net negative.

I wager about 20 dollars per parlay, and do about either 3 or 4 teams that have 1.40ish odds, and after winning like maybe a few, I end up losing, and that's usually a bad feeling. I once lost a 1.01 bet, it was a live game to be fair and it was getting to last minutes, I saw it was 88th minute and bet was still open, usually it closes at that point, so I wagered the team to win with a good chunk of money, and obviously there came in the goal at 90+4th minute to make me lose lol.

because we also need to use that money for our daily needs, if we use it again for gambling then we must be prepared to lose it all.
Are you living with gambling? If yes, I haven't been able to do that, because my daily needs are not enough sufficient if I live it with only gambling jobs. In my opinion, the gambling income is also uncertain, sometimes I get win and losses unpredictably, so when only waiting gambling win for meet my needs, I'll probably starve dan don't have the money to buy just a mineral drink. And maybe my neighbor will find out if I am a gambler when I really mess.
You can't live off of the earnings from gambling unless you are the owner of the casino because the gambling business model doesn't work that way. Casinos are not created to give people the opportunity to live their lives from the winnings they provide because if that was possible, casinos would go bankrupt in no time and there would be no concept of gambling casinos other than P2P games where players gamble with each other and the winners keeps all the money.

Gambling is only for people to try their luck, and have some fun playing games and they might win something good sometime in between their gambling sessions. However, if they start looking at gambling as a source of income, they will start spending and losing a lot of money uselessly on it.

Do you know that some people who is addicted in gambling doesn't know that they are being dragging back with gambling, to gamble is good to extent but if you take much step on it that will make you not to lose concentration on other things and that is the problem of people who have not achieve anything started from, when you are addicted in gambling you are just destroying yourself why you don't know and before you will realize as a gambler it will be too late, so if at least we have measurements or plans on the Gamble we play, that will be better, but right now we don't have.
It is a gambler's own responsibility to take the necessary measures that can make them have some limits on their gambling activities so that they don't waste all their money and destroy their lives just because of gambling because as you said, a person who gets addicted to gambling tends to become reckless and don't take any other responsibility which makes them keep going towards more destruction in life, they will leave their families, sell everything they have, and start giving all their time and money to their addiction towards gambling.

And, when someone is addicted to gambling, they don't see or hear reasoning, they don't listen to anything others are telling them about what they are doing, and they will keep doing what they think is right without even acknowledging that they are actually stuck in a problem and they need to come out.
1039  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why is horse racing so unpopular here and a bit of extra feedback on: September 05, 2023, 05:21:51 PM
I believe horse racing is only popular in some particular regions and countries and there are only a small percentage of people who actually like and follow the sport. I personally never had any interest in horse racing nor have I ever watched any matches or known any horses or people riding the horses, so I never really looked for any threads or any topics regarding the sport. However, I find your suggestions intriguing and I believe you might get a good response for that.

Basically, people will participate in competitions and events where they have an opportunity to get a reward for just spending their time and they don't need to spend anything from their pocket, especially if they are participating in something that they don't have a lot of knowledge about, in this case, it's horse racing.

Your personal information or your KYC verification has nothing to do with you getting scammed by a certain platform since they scam you out of your money and not your identity documents. Why would a platform need your personal information to scam you when you make a deposit into their platform yourself? If they are not legit or trusted and have evil intentions, they will simply not let you win anything or let you withdraw even if you manage to win something.

So, even though it's important to only join and gamble on trusted and reputable platforms, your KYC verification or personal information doesn't really have anything to do with you getting scammed since it's a cryptocurrency world and you can get scammed even if you are anonymous for them.
I think our identity is highly valuable than any regular amount of money, and if someone deceives us even if there is no money involved, it can still be considered as a scam. KYC data's or documents can also be sold at a good value in the black market. So this alone can bring the scammers or hackers a good fortune.

But at most, it was usually money is the one that they are targeting because it can be used directly and we all know that not all people are willing to do a KYC online for some reasons and not because of what I said earlier. Being anonymous only has to deal with our privacy and it can't protect our funds completely, but being anonymous is helpful for the bad guys. This makes them harder to be traced/tracked by the authorities.
