I don't think that a simple thread is enough to make the representatives of the most respected and reputable casino platforms approach you to demand your CV so that they can hire you, it's not a requirement for them to get what you think is very useful for them since their platforms are still working pretty well with the original system that they have and have always had, if you think this can benefit them further, it is you who need to pitch your proposal to them.

The best way for you must be to reach them either through their email or what other means they have for contacting that you can find from their website and send your CV along with your pitch there so that they can approach you if they feel that they should give it a try or at least get a demo of the system.
1062  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Appropriate percentage of income for gambling on: August 30, 2023, 09:44:11 AM
I use 5% of my weekly income to gamble and I can not go more than that. Sometimes I can be busy and I can spend less. If a week favours me, I will save my profit and the remaining (5% last week income) for next week gambling. According to what I heard, people spend up to 12% of their weekly income on gamble. I think it is not bad but that gives me the thinking to make a post like this on this forum. What percentage of weekly income do you think is right for gambling?

Any percentage is not bad to be used for gambling as long as it's something one can afford to loose, gambling does not have a particular amount one must use to gamble, but there's nothing bad if we can on our own self made a decision on the amount in percentage that we want to be using for gambling, in my own opinion i don't think 5% is much but i can tell about some who will tell you it's much because of what they earned and how their other responsibilities appears.
Even if one can afford to spend 30% of their income on gambling, I don't think that is a good thing to do. One should have a fixed budget for their gambling activities and it shouldn't be a very big part of their income because gambling is not a way to earn money or something but it is a source of entertainment and trying your luck, if you are lucky, you will win big even if you have spent just 5% of your income and if you are unlucky, you won't win even if you spend 50% of it.

So, it's better if you can spend just a small percentage of your total income on gambling, enjoy your time while you can, and see if your luck works or not, and when you lose that money, just stop right there and wait until you get your next income and then gamble again with your budget.
1063  Economy / Gambling / Re: Thought's on many major fiat-crypto payment gateways ditching casino business's? on: August 30, 2023, 07:12:54 AM
I have always got the impression those options are set for people who are really new into the world of cryptocurrency but have gambled before, so they ended up on Stake (or any other major Crypto gambling site) because someone recommendation or because some advertisement campaign.

They enter and realize they have never used Bitcoin or altcoins, since casinos would not like those new users to go without trying that the website has to offer, it is a question of common sense for them to have something set up so newbies into crypto can buy and gamble right away, since most FIAT gamblers are likely to have a credit card, I would argue those payment processors indeed accomplish a purpose in crypto casinos that can afford to have them.
That is probably right, only new users that don't already have cryptocurrencies and have stumbled upon a cryptocurrency casino for the first time might use that option because they might not have enough experience about cryptocurrencies and how they can buy, store, and send them from a wallet to the casino platform, for such people, that option is probably the easiest way to go about buying cryptocurrencies and then gambling with what they've bought.

However, those who already use cryptocurrencies and have wallets and accounts on centralized or decentralized exchanges, they can easily just buy from there and send it to their gambling account and start gambling instead of using a bank account or a credit card to buy cryptocurrencies directly within the platform.

Warriors can't get Giannis, but one thing that is "just a bit" possible is to get Giannis to play with Doncic. That is going to be tough, and the playbook has to be quite solid because Doncic could be a shooter but he is not a lights out shooter, and he likes to drive inside, with Giannis liking the ball so much, Doncic liking the ball so much and potentially if they still have Irving then him liking the ball so much, you will have a team that is consisting of stars that want the ball in their hands.

Warriors would have been a better fit, but unfortunately that is not going to happen and that is why I think it should be important to remember that Giannis has to go to a team that is filled with shooters, even if not Warriors.
1065  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 29, 2023, 06:15:15 PM
In fact, I just found out that Gerrard is in the Saudi Arabian League. It seems that the last I knew he was the coach of Aston Villa. I don't know if he went to Arabia because of Money? Or did he not get a new club?
I don’t know if Gerrard didn’t get a new club, but I think he went there because of the money that they will be paying him. The amount of money that the Saudi League is offering players and coaches is an amount that will be kind of difficult for everyone to reject. Maybe Gerrard didn’t get any club that would pay him a reasonable amount of money, and he saw Al Ettifaq's offer that they would be paying him a good amount of money, and he decided to accept it. I don’t blame any player or coach that goes to the Saudi League, everyone really needs money, and you will go for the offer that will pay you most.
Steven Gerrard fail to find any better club in Europe, so he moved here in this Saudi League for the revival of his career which is surely good move from him because here he can take good positive turn for his career even this all is not easy because completely different conditions and atmosphere but still a good job for him with good salary is also available the start of his job is good as his team able to won first two games and now have first lost in fourth round, but he is looking for the development of his team which can bring better results for the future.

Now it's not all about money quality is also improved with many quality young players are also moving which is bringing good development and if they keep things on this way most chances this league could be in better position and have better quality in coming years as well.

To be honest Joselu is very old and doesn’t have any good news to bring for Real Madrid, the last three matches i really got impressed with the middle field Bellingham in his 20 age only he managed to be the striker of LaLiga in the beginning of this season beside saving Real Madrid in their last match against Celta Vigo. The same thing with Barcelona they both need a real strong striker this season in order to do something in UCL, otherwise we going to see the English teams taking over and winning every single trophy.
Manchester City still the most strong team i can suggest taking the UCL again this season if everything stay the same way as this. But honestly this season has much less attention and competition after the big players moving out to Saudi Professional League  and leaving UCL less attractive as many people loves to follow player and not clubs.
There is no comparison between Joselu and Karim Benzema because we have big difference in quality and experience as well but still Real Madrid bring him because they were looking for the experience campaigner on suitable terms with there were most chances Mbappé could be here, but now things are looking not good but still Real Madrid doing impressive job in early games with this most chances now they will be not done any change until Winter transfer window, so we have to accept reality now he is part of this club Jude Bellingham is really fascinating player which make his mark from first game and have bright future here hopefully after watching this all Carlos Ancelotti will do some changes but their current strategy and performance is also no bad at all.

Manchester City is surely currently best with Bayern Munich and few other clubs can create challenges for them but in Champions League nothing is last we have to wait for the start of main round as things will be clear who is going to stay at the top.
1067  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Irresponsible behavior at the Las Vegas Casino on: August 29, 2023, 03:06:29 PM
I mean this happens not only at casinos but everywhere.  Especially in Vegas, there's a lot of extracurricular activities that take place to induce someone to do this.  In Vegas this probably wasn't even a big shock.  This happens at sporting events all the time.  Dumb people do dumb things has nothing to do with gambling.
It's not even about being dumb, because a person who is dumb would do this when they are sober, but when a person does it when they are heavily drunk or drugged, you can't say that they did it just because they are dumb because they are not even in their correct senses at that moment, and whatever they do is not purely out of fun or they think that it will be funny if they do something like this but it is just getting out of control and doing such things.

However, I believe someone who understands that they do such ugly stuff when they get too drunk, should stop after a couple of shots so that they can stay in their senses and don't make themselves and their family and friends ashamed in front of their society and the whole world.
1068  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A person who won 600k$ in lottery on: August 29, 2023, 08:48:10 AM
Reason, why many people would like to try their risk with the lottery, is because of the large amount of prize pool, every time there's a person who win almost 320k$ just hitting the jackpot and if you got luck you can solo price or equally divided to all of the winners ~
Another reason is the relatively small price for the ticket. Firstly, you can potentially win a lot, and secondly you are not risking much for that opportunity. Both are valid reasons, in my opinion. That's why Lottery is so attractive to many people: they want to have a hope to win a lot without risking a lot.
The second reason is probably the biggest reason why lotteries are so popular, even the poor or middle-class people tend to participate in lotteries because they have the hope that maybe one day their lives will be changed just because of one of these lotteries if they manage to hit a jackpot. This hope is what makes them keep buying tickets every time even after not winning anything for years because the probability of winning with a small amount of tickets is very low.

However, it's all about luck, I've seen people buying about 30% of the total tickets of a lottery and still not winning anything while a person with just 200 tickets wins the highest prize. So the probability doesn't really matter that much but it is all dependent on one's luck and destiny.
1069  Economy / Gambling / Re: Concept of Halal Casino on: August 29, 2023, 07:03:49 AM
Did you not watch the video yourself before posting it here? Because if you do, he explains everything very clearly, and at no point in the video, he says anything about a halal casino. What he talked about in the video about casinos was that there are some regions where you can get halal food and even praying places inside the casinos, so some people say that when you are gambling, you are already sinful so you shouldn't care about halal food or praying as well.

So he explains that it is a very wrong concept where a person thinks that if he is committing one sin, he should commit other sins too but one should at least try to reduce the sins they are committing. So even if a person is gambling, he should eat food that is haram or should skip his prayers.

Lower rank teams having a heavy defensive "park the bus" method and just try to get results like that is a common thing in football. It rarely works, I bet that most teams didn't even do scouting enough about them and Pendiksport will end up losing eventually.

It looks like they are going to end up being figured out, other teams will start to check and see the result and they will just end up not getting these points eventually. When you look at transfermarkt, it is obvious that they are way too tiny compared to most other teams and the fear of relegation is still there and will definitely stay there without a doubt. I think it should be important to remember that we are not going to end up with anything like that.
1071  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: August 28, 2023, 06:59:40 PM
I never really knew what to think of Luis Enrique, but at least he has some experience coaching a big team with star players and won several titles with them. But what can his influence be on a team that might lack some quality for the Champions League? I think a coach can work a lot on the cohesion within the team, but could he bring PSG onto a level that makes them a serious contender for the Champions League title? I really don't think so, but who knows. I guess everyone is waiting for the transfer market to close its doors and then go from there. I think that even winning Ligue 1 will be more difficult for PSG this year.   
I will not doubt how the quality of Paris SG and its current coach is to be able to penetrate the league 1 title but I will doubt it when it comes to competing in the champions league competition even though we don't know what will happen and there are always unexpected surprises but I only look at the past while Paris SG has a reliable coach and also has several quality players in it, they still fail to get the champion's league trophy and this season there is only 1 mainstay player Kylian Mbappe and new coach Luis Enrique which is really very difficult to continue in the champions league and my hope is Paris SG no need to focus too much on other competitions, just focus on league 1 to get a better title.
Now they are improving after having few shocking results in two games which is good but still I have feeling If anyone is currently thinking that PSG can win the Champions League, then he is crazy because currently they are under development with new coach and many new players which joined them before start of this season they need to have better coordination between players which is important for them for having better results and their focus could be long strategy now having all things in this season which is first without big stars.

Kylian Mbappé return is good, but he alone can't bring good results it's a team game, and we need few good players which help each other for getting better results in big events here we can give example of Xavi and Barcelona which done good job in last season and now having good improved side which can give them good results in all events.

I've heard that right after stepping down from the Italy job, Roberto Mancini has been appointed as the new coach of Saudi Arabia. It seems Saudi Arabia has a solid plan to improve its football. Football is a worldwide sport, not limited to Europe alone. Kudos to Saudi Arabia for this move. It would indeed be great if the other top 3 or 4 countries from each continent outside of Europe could take a similar approach.
Even we are having some good leading sports here in this region of Gulf, but recent successful organization of Qatar World Cup bring good competition for having improved things and Saudi Arab which is one of the biggest and richest country doing right things for bringing the best soccer players from the glob for the best of this game in their country they are having enough funds which they can use for the development of league and national team as well, but sadly this luxury is not available for the many other countries as you want countries from every continent.

With this change now we can expect good improvement in Saudi Arab's soccer team because now after few weeks we are heading for the few big events, so they want to have their team could be well-prepared for this all.

To be honest, I think Sheffield is really expected to score when they can really put pressure on the Manchester City defense well. I believed that in the end Sheffield would score but unfortunately they failed to maintain the draw as Manchester City were able to take an early lead before the end.

In this match, Erling Haaland again scored a goal which put him at the top with 3 goals. Haaland didn't have many chances, but Manchester City's attack in this match was really good. It is undeniable that Sheffield really made it difficult for Manchester City to win this match even though in the end Sheffield had to give up.
Even Sheffield United done good job specially in second half, but Manchester City is now having one of the best defense and attack in Premier League which not allowed them to have anything positive for this match and their attack consistently strikes on them which help them for having two goals even they lost penalty, but things were completely under their control, and they were not giving them any movement for relaxation which is surely amazing stuff from the Manchester City and their offense.

In absence of the Pep Guardiola they were still at their best and things were completely under control which helps them for going through in this match for just one cause which is won, hopefully they will keep this aggression in coming weeks and also take their top spot for the long time.
1074  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Don't wait for the bottom without buying in the Dip. on: August 28, 2023, 06:05:23 AM
It's obviously not wise to keep waiting for the bottom and don't buy when the market has already taken a plunge, this is why DCA is a very useful method for accumulating cryptocurrencies during the dips because if you buy with everything you have and then the market dips even more, you will regret your decisions, and the same will happen if the market recovers back without going any further declines, you will still feel bad for not buying when the time was right.

So, it's the best way to simply start doing DCA as soon as the market starts dipping so that you don't regret it no matter which way the market moves next. When you DCA, you will always have some money left for buying more and even if the market goes up, you won't regret since you've bought some.

I think it should be important to realize that getting the jersey is a great gift because it's not just like getting any jersey when you want to, there is a big difference there. If you go out and get a jersey, like just buy it, that means you paid for it and there is no memory there at all, the memory is you paying it to the cashier (or checkout online) lol.

But, when you have the jersey like this, it's a whole moment of your life, you won something and you got gifted for it from the website as well so whenever you look at the jersey you think of this website and you think of the time you won it. That is why it's worth a lot more than a regular jersey you may buy, I could get the same one but it wouldn't feel the same.
1076  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Mistake that prevented your big win. on: August 27, 2023, 07:15:35 PM
We really have to try to be responsible gamblers to have good self-control to avoid all the bad things that might come to us while gambling. When we can gamble casually, and there is no burden to try to win, we can get a win, like you said. But of course, after we get a win, we don't need to keep trying to get other wins that might be more difficult to obtain.

So it's okay if we fail to win at gambling, and that could be because we are out of luck in getting the win. One day, we will be able to get even more wins, so we will be happier to see those wins. The important thing is that we can continue to enjoy gambling as we should and not lose more money.
back to human nature to always be dissatisfied or greedy with what they got right away even with a $20 budget getting a $100 win is a huge amount but some gamblers feel themselves lucky and continue betting to earn a little more. however, as I said, everything returns to the principles of each gambler and one of the best ways is to only gamble responsibly.

failing to get a big win or a small win is not a problem for me because of the way gambling works to benefit the gambling owner and lets just say that if the defeat helps to provide funds to develop the gambling business. Cheesy
It is not easy for everyone to be a responsible gambler because when you are gambling, you don't remember anything and when you see that you are winning, your mind just keeps telling you not to stop because you are winning and your luck might work even more and you might win some more, but in reality, you don't just keep winning even if you have been winning for a while, the house will start defeating you until you lose everything back to the house.

Unfortunately, a lot of gamblers don't learn from the mistakes of others and they repeat the same mistake again and again by gambling more even when they are already in profit and that makes them lose their profit and also their deposited capital and then start regretting their decision.
1077  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can money be saved in gambling sites? on: August 27, 2023, 06:09:05 PM
Even if it's possible, why would someone do that in the first place? A casino platform is meant to be used for gambling just like an exchange platform is to be used for trading purposes, none of these two are to be used as a storage for your money since they are not built for that and there can consequences for that. One can easily keep their money in a wallet and keep that encrypted and safe, is it that difficult to create or get a wallet? It definitely isn't.

I don't even know if a casino would allow you to just keep your account idle while it's having money, they might even ask you to withdraw the money if you are not using the platform, even if they don't, what if something goes wrong like the platform gets hacked or maybe your account gets compromised?

That's right mate. A lot of people I see are only speculating ridiculously. That is because they don't know how price works. They don't know that the supply and demand of the coin can affect the coin's value. But no, not all are waiting for Bitcoin to plunge to $15k or lower than that because a lot of us are aware that is unlikely possible right now

 One thing that can't prevent it from happening is the heavy buy order that you saw on $18k-$21k prices because the price can surely skyrocket after that. next year or two, many are positive that a bull run will occur but after it can also be followed by a severe bear market which can be worser than last year. So who knows right? Maybe your call of $19.3k as the lowest for BTC could be possible.

What's going on with Manchester United and Arsenal, they get scored more from mediocre clubs. Onana perform ridiculously awful, how can Notthingham Forrest's players scored 2 goals after the match begin. I think both of this clubs clearly underestimated the opponents, the attitude indeed isn't good.

I see both of Manchester United and Arsenal now playing with emotion and anger to score a goal, it doesn't look good.
Both clubs started their campaign in this season with high expectations, but performance is not as all were expected in these matches we have big mess-up which create problems even at the end Manchester United able to steal three points against 10 men Nottingham, but Arsenal fail to achieve their 100% start and lost two points against 10 men Fulham which done impressive job and not allowed Gunners to punish them as I and many were expecting before the start of this match.

Now both teams are going to face each other in round four at the Emirates Stadium which could be also vital how things will be for them in coming season in today match Arsenal were in good control throughout the match, but sadly they were in anger which not helps them for having better result and Fulham take good advantage and score their second goal even after having red card from the Bassey in 83rd minute.
1080  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: August 26, 2023, 08:22:04 AM
That's one of the bad after effect of keeping your gambling habit discreet as if there's no one who notice your participation and you unable to control yourself, it can really harm you mentally and financially since there's no one who can check on you, chances that you may use all of your savings due to your addiction.

It's better to always have someone who you trust to know what you are into, it will help you to keep things still in order or someone who can talk to you directly to remind you about your activities.
I guess what you are suggesting here is basically right, but is it realistic?

The problem of an addiction is usually that those who are affected by it also do a lot to keep it a secret. It's essentially a part of the addiction. Everyone who has a friend who is addicted to something probably knows that the affected person doesn't like to communicate openly about it and that has nothing to do with the friend being a bad or a good friend. What action could a friend take when he or she knows that a friend is addicted to gambling? Addicted people will almost certainly find a way to gamble and then? Call them and tell them not to? It's more difficult than that I think.
When we have best friends who are very good friends, we can't really hide anything from them, even if we try to keep a secret, especially when it has to do something with an addiction. They will eventually come to know about it, or they will simply sense it because there will be a certain change in our behavior that they will notice. Now, a good friend will try to get you out of something that might be troublesome for you no matter what it is.

So, sometimes, we might not be willing to reveal a certain secret to our best friends, but they still understand what we are trying to do. If it's something that doesn't affect you mentally or physically, you might be able to keep it a secret but if it does affect you, your body language will give it away.
