Well done Newcastle for winning a match against Fulham, now they are only two points less than Man United.

Poor Chelsea couldnt win against last placed Sheffield and they messed up and ruined my combo ticket with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all to win Tongue
Very interesting race for the title continues between Man City, Arsenal and Liverpool.
Even though I did manage to know the result of this game and wagered on Newcastle to win, I am still shocked that United is getting this much trouble even at sixth position. They should have been much higher, but they failed.

Even if you look at the last five games, you will see that they lost 10 points in just last five games. If they won those, they would have been only one point behind, that's it. Instead, they are 10+ points behind now, and they are getting closed down by West Ham and Newcastle at the same time as well. I feel like that should be one of the most important things that people should be focusing on. United seems like not having a good season at all, and need to figure out how to end the season stronger than this.
142  Economy / Speculation / Re: are you expecting Bitcoin to hit $400,000 after the bull run. on: April 08, 2024, 09:58:32 AM
I'm seeing Bitcoin rising to $400,000 before the first quarter of 2025, the bull run this time it will be different from the last one. Bitcoin is $70,000 now the halving have not started, I'm looking at the market that this is the right to buy and hold after the bull run then you sell and make your triple profit.
I want to stay optimistic about $100k or at most, $150k, and I don't want to have unrealistic expectations from Bitcoin and the market. For it to reach $400k, we will need a lot of investors and a lot of money flowing into the market, the first quarter of 2025 is barely a year ahead, and I don't think we are going to get that many investors or investments in this period.

That being said, I would also say that the market is unpredictable, we have seen things happening that looked like impossible in this market, so nothing is really impossible, but we should have realistic expectations so that we don't hurt our feelings and so that we can stay ready for any sort of situation that may occur.
143  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Patience can help alot on: April 08, 2024, 09:04:33 AM
patience is a key to prevent losing a lot.
Yeah but unfortunately, most gamblers lack in that in reality. They don't have enough patience which is why they can't stop when they need to and eventually lose more money. A lot of people lose their earned profits because of being impatient and having no self-control, they keep gambling even after having an upper hand over the house, and eventually lose everything back and then exit. So if they exit earlier instead, they would get some money in hand along with the initial bankroll.

So, patience is important in any gambling, not only in gambling but in any sector, because the final outcome of anything you do can be greatly affected by you either being patient or impatient. It's up to the person whether they want the results to be in positive or become negative.
144  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Is Legal In Our Country But if You Promote It Online You'll Go To Jail? on: April 07, 2024, 06:36:52 PM
the laws will really be strict in a country especially if they see its effect on the people, and it is necessary to follow it in order to respect the decision of the government. Why is the promotion of gambling prohibited when gambling is legal in the country? There are many possible reasons, but the first one here is the wrong way of promotion, which many minors see and possibly imitate, just to avoid that even young people may become addicted to gambling.
It may not seem as if it makes any sense, but as stated before there are some products which are legal but that are not allowed to advertise, what this means is that the government does not want to go through the trouble of actually banning something that people like and that realistically they have no way to really ban, however they are trying to reduce the rate at which people use that product, and an effective way to achieve this goal is to forbid those products to advertise.
It's understandable for some products, such as some countries have restrictions on advertising products such as condoms, however, the use of the product or the production isn't illegal and it is sold without any problems but they just don't allow you to advertise the product for some reason. There are many things such as that, however, this is something completely different than gambling and casinos.

They might be doing this to prevent the youth from getting addicted to gambling or starting gambling, but there must be other ways of doing this. It shouldn't be allowed on TVs, and advertisements shouldn't be allowed online by platforms, but if an individual is discussing about it, that shouldn't be a problem.
145  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How can we help beginners not to get addicted on: April 07, 2024, 03:48:22 PM
Many nations already have restrictions in place for gambling enterprises, such as age limitations and mandatory responsible gambling messages. But I believe more can be done. For example, some nations have begun to impose limits on how much money people may spend gambling in a certain period of time. This can assist people avoid going into major financial difficulty as a result of gaming. So there are guidelines governing how gambling may be promoted in advertisements, but many nations do not have such prohibitions. Furthermore, limitations can assist to safeguard people from the possible negative consequences of gambling. When dealing with gambling addiction, I believe it is critical to examine both the legal and social environments.
Such limitations can only be applied to gambling or casinos that are physical or land-based. They can impose a maximum limit that an individual can spend in a certain period across the country, and even for that to work flawlessly, they will need to record such data and add it to a national database that would be available and accessible across all casinos within the country. Without such a system, a gambler will gamble with $100 in one casino, and once they don't allow him anymore, he would go to a different casino and start gambling there.

So if they build a system like that, they can prevent people from overspending in land-based casinos. However, there can't be such restrictions with online gambling platforms and we all know that most people these days gamble online.
146  Economy / Gambling / Re: Stake.com - The Leading Crypto Casino - Drake, UFC, Everton, Stake F1 Team on: April 06, 2024, 05:40:23 PM
Stake has their own way to provide contests, as long as I remember they never made any contest in this bitcointalk forum since the first day. They have their own forum and social media, most of their promotions/contests are there not here. Primedice which is the old sister had some contests in this forum long time ago but Stake do not follow. They must have their own reason why they do not provide contest in bitcointalk, so do not hope too much that you will see contests by Stake in this forum.
their is something I want to know is it compulsory or necessary that any signatures campaign launched in this forum most have contests or organised a contests in the forum, I have not seem were it has been written before, I think a signatures having a contests is like another avenue to promotes their products in the forum, unlike roobet signatures they have other things they conduct that got attention of people and with their art contests many people have known them, so stake have the highest numbers of participants in the forum that promotes their signatures, and that's why they don't feel to conduct any contests because contests is as same making themselves to known.
I would guess that you need some sort of goal for the signature to make sense, that way you would be able to redirect people somewhere, otherwise it is just brand awareness and nothing more. If you just write "hey this is stake, play here" and leave, that is not good enough and usually do not end up being great.

But, if you share like some bonus, some promotion, some rewards etc etc, like whatever you can do, then you will realize soon that people will flock better, because there is something to go there, a reason to be there. This is why most campaigns end up having something like that which people can focus on, instead of just general promoting the casino. This is why I believe it should be important to keep having these stuff.
147  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Where is the fun when you lose your money? on: April 06, 2024, 02:41:34 PM
there is also some gambling that requires skill, but I think that also cannot ensure that we can win easily, it only increases the chance of winning but doesn't change the luck portion. I don't think we can win even though we have good skills if luck is not on our side, if we are lucky then we can win by random means.
If you don't want luck to disrupt your gambling experience, get into sports betting. The outcome of a sports event isn't always dependent on luck because it's not like a gambling game where you press a button and then wait for the RNG to generate the result for you to see if you were lucky or not.

In sports betting, you place your bets based on your knowledge about the teams and players involved in a game and you know their capabilities and abilities and how much skilled or unskilled they are, so your bet wouldn't be based on luck in sports betting.

I know that luck can affect games sometime, you will see a team losing that you expected to win and statistically, it was ahead of the opponent. However, this doesn't happen all the time.
148  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How possible is it to win lottery 14 times using mathematics calculations on: April 06, 2024, 05:02:03 AM
The mathematician might have used probability and statistics to find patterns in lottery numbers. We all know that lotteries are about luck, but I think, using mathematical is an advantage to try to increase chances of winning. Although we should also understand and remember that there is no foolproof method that winning is guaranteed by using these kind of techniques.
It's not always possible to achieve something like that, because if it were, there are a lot of people in the world who are experts in mathematics, and they would use their tricks and techniques to crack the code of a lottery and win the first prize every single time. This is the only story I have heard in my entire life about a person who managed to win the lottery 14 times using mathematical calculations.

I'm also pretty sure that lotteries and their management must have changed things after that and it isn't possible anymore for someone to do that even if they know how to do it. If we think we are smart, management of the casinos and lotteries are smart as well, they won't leave any loopholes open for anyone to exploit and make them go broke.
149  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Decentralized vs Centralized Gambling....Which do you prefer? on: April 05, 2024, 05:28:42 PM
Previously, I used to play offline more commonly, but when crypto became more popular, I started looking for some decentralized services to experience. Although in terms of scale, they are still too small compared to the market share of gambling, but for personal purposes, I think it meets the needs.

There are a few familiar names in the crypto space in terms of gambling, but they have never become a major force, and there are still some legal constraints that still exist, so there is promise in this field lots of exploitation potential.
I don't see any decentralized casino platforms around, people barely use them because there aren't any reputable ones or ones that have been operating for quite some time and people are confident in using them. Since a decentralized platform would require a user to connect their wallet on the website to gamble, and this becomes a concern for gamblers because you can't connect your wallet to a platform that you don't trust.

So, this is probably a challenge for web3 or decentralized casino platforms to earn the trust of the community that their wallets won't be compromised if they connect them with their website and that their funds will be safe, and then maybe they can get some gamblers.
150  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Amazing Vintage Slot Machines on: April 05, 2024, 02:10:23 PM
I remember wanting one of these as a kid. It seemed like they were commonly available back in the day but I can’t say I’ve seen one for sale in many years. Probably some new laws about gambling or something keeping them from being sold to the normal folks. If I recall correctly, in the late 80s you could get a working slot machine like this for around $500.
For what purpose, personal? Though as a kid our preferences are strange that even a thing is not a toy we are still interested on them. I know, maybe this is because of the catchy tune and cute fruit graphics of this machine. Gambling started long time ago and the machine we have here is one of those early machines, so yeah, they are so common back in time. They might only be exclusive to the casino owners but even up to this date, as we all know that gambling is kinda sensitive.

You need permission from the governments first to have and operate one. $500 for this in the past seems expensive but if done or set up correctly, we can still recover our ROI and even make more. Funny that they might only be more expensive now because they are already antique.
151  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 05, 2024, 11:46:25 AM
Manchester united is not worst, but had a bad day on the pitch. Manchester united defenders was suppose to know that Palmer is a very dangerous player, and should not have given him any space. However, Manchester united thought it was over, when it was not yet over, which caused them to lose all three points. Palmer is the best transfer that Chelsea made this season, and I know that they will not regret spending such a big amount on him.
Chelsea humbled Manchester United today at Stamford Bridge, a big winning for the home team to grab and hitting hard on the next. This night is special because it do bring back memories buried but the tremendous winnings have awaken them and these players will now focused on the main deals. I think by now, we would have know the market price of Cole Palmer that keeps increasing in valuable this season.
I wouldn't say that Chelsea defeated Manchester United, but rather won a willful victory. Before the game I thought a draw was the most logical result and in principle it should have been, if not for Palmer's hat-trick and great play, which stands out from the rest of the players.
I think Manchester City fans now love Ole Sulsher even more compared to Ten Hag. Manchester have more goals conceded than scored and how they are in 6th place is unclear, because statistically they are an absolutely average team that should be in 10th-12th place, not sixth like now, but Chelsea if they continue to play like yesterday will probably be in 6th-7th place.
Even we have too much criticism for the Pochettino but still things are looking well under control and most chances we will be having Chelsea into top 6 spots because lately their performance is looking good and things are also looking much better Palmer done impressive job and his late two goals helps them for having three points and important win against Manchester United which was looking for the fifth spot, but now it looks like things are not as they were having their strategy.

This was important win for the Chelsea as now they are having not lost in last five games which is giving them good confidence and chance for doing better in coming matches Manchester United crises are now deepen because their performance is going down, and we are going to have the good number of changes in coming days which will be brought change otherwise things will be not as they want.
152  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season on: April 05, 2024, 09:20:23 AM
It's  fine to disagree, besides I made mention of their fast game  they seem to be pretty good with it but Pep learned a lot in his first  defeat against  Real Madrid in Champions league 2022 , he would have noticed that  real madrid has a tactic of playing offside along with fast attack  and the only way to counter this is by possessing the ball ( Mancity  is pretty good with possession), besides this was the way they defeated  them last season.  Although  this year they now have a new finisher and some good mield fields probably  things would have changed a little , so I see them winning only by luck From my side
Hmm, with your statement, you are making it sound as if the game was one sided , I mean it's the match between two good teams and their is always room for improvement from the both sides because the two parties are teams that would never want to be defeated at this stage.

Like you said Manchester city are a very good possession player but am pretty certain Madrid must have watched their style and would keep everything professional between the two pair.
Both the teams are currently watching each other also looking how things are working for them because this is also important part of the game and usually coaches set their strategy with this easily currently we are having two toughest clubs in the soccer world and both are going to face each other in next few days which are surely going to be entertaining time for the soccer fans right now this match is most wanted by the fans due to his quality and depth which is surely going to be high with both will give their best.

Plus, we will have one of the top quality players those will go against each other and also try to have things which could be favourable to them for me prediction is not easy while these both clubs will jump into ground because for me both are having same level of quality and performance and match day performance could be best for both.
153  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: FIFA World Cup 2026 :Canada/Mexico/United States: Discussion Thread on: April 05, 2024, 07:15:03 AM
It's true, well personally for me there are still no players with the quality of CR7 and Messi, for me those two players are the best, of course, there are Haaland and Mbappé who are the most outstanding players in the world, but I think they don't reach the quality of these, I don't know if they are my ideas or I am setting the standard or the bar very high, but for me these two players will always make a difference and that is something that is noticeable, for me these things are like that, although Messi and CR7 are a little older, for me they are still much better than the current players, apart from everything in Portugal itself there is envy among the players of the Portuguese national team. Cancelo's statements did not go down well with anyone, so these types of players They don't have much to talk about if they haven't had a similar or better career than him, in Argentina all the players respect Messi and defend him, I think the difference is very noticeable there, in the World Cup if I want those two to be there and hopefully the match between Argentina and Portugal takes place.
Replacement is never been easy and if you have players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi then surely it needs more time while we are having these both players at his best in coming world cup this could be another historic moment for the soccer fans around the world Portugal which is looking for their first ever big success completely fail to bring good development into their soccer system which was expected few years back, but sadly things are never been ideal for them to have good players into their team.

In last few years we have no well noticed players which we can call suitable replacement for these legendary players those are doing their best for years and still we have few good years to watch their game and enjoy this all for few more years.
154  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: April 05, 2024, 05:40:32 AM
we can't forget as you said a 39-year-old player scored three goals in this match for his team.
Ronaldo is well known for his penalty kicks and free kicks a the goals he can score with these opportunities in the game and he used the chances he had, and in less than 10 minutes he scored two goals like that for Al Nassr. It seems Ronaldo's career is not going to end any time soon.


His career will be longer if he won't get serious injuries and fail to recover. He will not end his career if he can play even he will score less and less goals each season with time. It is natural progress to a downturn when a player gets older and Cristiano can not fight against it forever.

Some years ago, I read on media that he wanted to play in Champions League with his son. Now it looks difficult for him to do this but playing with his son in a same match is possible if his career last like 3 or 4 more seasons. It is impossible for them to play together at a big club in Europe but for a club in Portugal, I see a chance for them to make it happens.

"My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!"
There is no doubt at the age of 39 he is still one of the best in this game and can score three goals in quick time which is clearly indicating we will be able to watch him for some more years but as if someone wants to watch him playing with his son it looks like not easy task because he is 39 and son is 13 so he still needs 4 to 5 years and this will make him nearly 44 to 45 which is surely not going to help him for having spot in any UEFA club and play Champions League with his son.

But one thing is sure we can watch him for few more seasons here in Saudi League of if he will be having any good offer from the country clubs which are also still want to bring back him in their domestic league as this could be also big booster for them in the future.
155  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: April 04, 2024, 05:00:42 PM
Honestly, the match is not going to be easy; it is going to be a tough and interesting match, the way I am looking forward to it. So in this kind of game, anything can happen. It is very possible for any team to win, or probably the game should end in a draw. But check their head-to-head statistics record, and if I should judge based on that, Manchester United should be the favourite team to win, but recently Chelsea performance has improved and Manchester United form is not stable. That is the reason why I say the match will be difficult to predict, but if I want to bet on this type of game, I will just prefer to go for the option of both teams scoring because, from their recent meeting records, they always scored.
Both teams are on same level of quality with Manchester United is having good spot, but Chelsea is still looking for something positive which can help them for having end of their trauma in this season, but things are not looking ideal in last few meetings which played between these two teams we have nothing positive for the Chelsea as they lost two games and three were drawn which mean Manchester United can steal the show if we have no good strategy from the Pochettino in this game.

Even Chelsea is improving their performance and trying to have things take good turn, and they could be positive for the next season, but injuries are creating problems for them with Manchester United is also having same problems, but they are having some well-balanced replacements which are giving them good results.

If you are interested in gambling on sports, do you rely on prediction betting sites? Why?
What is the most prominent site you rely on?
Why should I when i can predict myself ? this is my money so why should I rely to others ?

when we are ready to gamble then we must ready to lose on our own because relying to others will only  let you have someone to blame if ever result does not come your way.
Agree with this mate relying others is not necessary in gambling cause it will not lead us to victory every time we put our bet. And also the outcome of relying others is like what you said that when we loss then blaming others is in ou mind .  But the best thing to do is do our own research and put our bet cause following our decision in gambling is a must it because when we win then okay but when we loss still okay cause it is our decision. No matter what happen our decision matters.
Gambling is supposed to be for entertainment only and not to be taken seriously, so yeah but unfortunately there are still people who fail to do so and if they think they lack in knowledge, they will just rely on someone else. There might still be a good and legit tipping service that works very well but there are also times that they are losing and we can too, if we ride that specific bet.

We must accept both sides and if not, then it's better to just stop playing gambling. Not only that you won't lose your precious money this way but you won't also hurt your self and others, only because you don't like the result and are very disappointed about it.

Once a man is married their should be adjustments on how he behaves in every aspect of lifestyle to not affect his marriage.
It is so wrong for a married man with family to think responsibility can be solve by playing gambling to gain profit. A family man having this mentality is adding more responsibility to himself because looking at gambling as a solution for responsibility is a way of losing more money to gambling. As a married man it is not right to depend so much in gambling because it can never solve problem when you need the gain in it,  instead gambling will make you to lose more. Gambling wins comes as a surprise, no need to have so much expectation of getting a profit all times.
A responsible person would never do that, you are not a responsible person if you have a family to take care of and you rely on gambling to provide you something so that you can fulfill your responsibilities. An adult who is mentally fine should know and understand that gambling cannot be a source of income because its results are based on luck and you can't be lucky all the time which means you will be losing money most of the time in gambling.

A responsible person would make sure they have a stable source of income because if they don't earn money, the family will suffer and they can't let that happen. Such people might gamble but they would do it only for fun and only with funds that they can afford to lose after they have taken care of everything else.

Since, it was a plaza offering more services and not just a casino, I wouldn't say the reason for its closure was because the house couldn't win enough but it was most probably because of a lack of proper management and other issues, maybe legal issues were involved as well. I'm saying this because I'm not aware of this and have no knowledge about it, but all I know is that a casino cannot get closed down because of losing, they don't lose more than they win, that's how casinos and gambling work.

A casino would always have enough funds so that they can compensate the winners that are playing on each table available, and they calculate the wins based on the highest bets so that they don't go bankrupt because of a player hitting a big win.

Today will be the third and final match of the T20 series between Sri Lanka Women vs South Africa Women. So far there have been two matches where both the teams have won one match each to tie the series 1-1. As both the teams have the ability to beat each other, today's match will be very interesting and competitive match. But I will put South African women ahead. I think South Africa women can win this match today. Which of these two teams do you think will be ahead?
South Africa batsmen set a target of 155 in 20 overs.  And that almost a good goal.  But their hard work and struggle was wasted by the Sri Lanka batsmen and they won.  Their batsmen won the match by score runs with interest and more effort and struggle.  Their batsmen scored 156 runs in 19 overs to win the match.  Their batsmen pick up the pace.  My congratulations to the Sri Lanka team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.
After losing first match badly we have historic comeback by the Sri Lanka as things were looking not ideal after having worst lost in first game but here we can show spirit of these Sri Lankan women's in second and third game they improve their batting and bring things on their own level which give them win in matches and series with this now their confidence level is going to be high for the ODI series which will create good competition for the both sides.

After India, we are having good improvement in Sri Lanka which is doing impressive work and bringing good improvement into their game which is good sign because we need good quality and consistency into these regions women's game chasing target like 156 were looking not easy, but they have done and captain Chamari Athapaththu lead from the front as she score 73 runs on 46 balls which was match winning for them.

Anyway, Southampton lost last night so they are definitely going to be having a hard time for automatic promotion, however playoff spots will put them as a big favorite I believe.
That's what I want to ask. The path that Southampton will try to promote to the Premier League is through the playoffs. Can Southampton return to the Premier League next season with the remaining matches to be played because they are up to the 38th match, Southampton still remains in fourth place with 74 points.
If Southampton returns to playing in the Premier League, this will be even more interesting because the team that was promoted to the Premier League last season was not very good.
I don't know much about the styles and form and skills etc of that league, but to my mind, if I consider playoffs, it doesn't matter if you are 3rd or if you are 6th, you have equal chance. So if I'm Southampton I think I'll still try to get 2nd spot first, they have a game in hand and there is maybe 3/4 games left to see if you can fight. But if I know I can't get 2nd anymore, I might as well rest squad and finish 6th, and prepare for full health in the playoff.

Usually promoted teams go down, so it's not so surprising but for sure Sheffield Burnley especially are looking really really bad. Ipswich Town probably end the same.
Playoffs are not that type of "everyone has equal chances" situation, obviously teams that are lower ranked could of course win, which has happened many times before.

But, the highest ranked playoff team to end up being the one that goes to promotion is likely result. They are the top ranked in that sense after all for a reason, not the top ranked overall, the top ranked overall goes automatic promotion, I am talking about the top ranked one among the playoff ones. In this case third I believe, and that should be the normal case, I believe that will always be the most important part. Considering the situation these teams in, I would say that Southampton may have a little bit of trouble with them staying with this trouble and probably won't promote.
