Barcelona has not even made it clear. The team is still struggling with its financial problem. I see no chance for messi to go back again to the his old club. It's likely messi may join with arabian club as the only club that was able paying him with so much money.
As far as i know that since barcelona is not even showing good progress to sign him back and messi has been turning back again to the arabian club. it seemed to me that if messi gonna accept a big offer that will be coming from al hilal.

Some media have been reporting that if messi is now in talks with al hilal regarding his contract. I hope that will happen caused by i just wanna see the competition between ronaldo and messi in arabian league.

Al hilal has been offering him bigger salary compared with CR7. It will be so dumb for messi to miss such an opportunity. In another case, i heard that if manchester city may have interest to the lionel messi but this rumor has not confirmed yet by manchester city.
Barcelona is not in position to have Messi back into their team and most chances Manchester City will not take any chance because they already have strong squad which is doing amazing job, so things are clearly indicating about his possible departure to Saudi League where we already have Ronaldo and this transfer will surely create good about them and their chances to have more fan base around the world for the better marketing purpose in future.

Even nothing is clear from any party but as we have suddenly changes in few things like PSG suspend Messi for the two weeks and his visit to Saudi Arab which create mess-up around soccer community we can have another sad end of legendary player because same things were happened in last season when we have Ronaldo in limelight which give him courage to leave UEFA now same story are around with just one persona change mean he will be also gone into Gulf region.

It was very dissapoint to see Mainz result match today that they have to losing points because Schalke can make good comeback by scored goal in the extra time of second half and this is Mainz first loses after unbeatable since January but this winning result is very important for Schalke because at least they can able to avoiding relegation zone and i know their position still not fully safe but at least from this result Schalke has opened up their chance to survive in the Bundesliga

On the other hand today too we will see the match between weak teams Hertha Berlin vs Stuttgart and if Stuttgart can able to collect 3 points from this match then they will possibly overtake Schalke position and i think they have capable to do that because in Bundesliga so far Stuttgart performance seems showing rapid progress because in the last 4 matches in Bundesliga Stuttgart has earn 8 points and still unbeatable and if we see Stuttgart condition which is more better than Hertha Berlin i think very possible Stuttgart will be able to overcomes Hertha Berlin
Now suddenly improved performance from Schalke create good interest in race of relegation because currently we have five teams in danger zone with Hertha Berlin is already out of Bundesliga but if today we have wins from Hoffenheim and Stuttgart then surely this can go in favor of these two and others still have to do their hard work for avoiding relegation which is not easy specially for the Schalke which have two away games against top teams and third is against Frankfurt which after elimination from Champions League having decline in form and dropping badly once they were a strong candidate for the Champions League spot, but now they are out of the top 9.
 
Mainz also have setback for their UEFA connection as losing against Schalke at home is big upset Bayer Leverkusen also lost their rhythm and give safe zone to Koln now just few hours with more important clashes are going to start.

What about those companies that decrease the size and the quantity yet sell it at a higher price not only to fight inflation but also to stay profitable during these hard times without having any care for their consumers? Yes, that happens and we can always see that happening at lower scales and companies that are not too famous or average.

Personally, as you said, I wouldn't mind getting the exact same product that I like at a little bit of a higher price if the quality is the same, or, it is also not bad if the quantity is decreased but the quality is intact and the price is the same.

Warriors definitely had a great game but it was an easy bet to make to be fair, I expected them to win because it was their home game and they lost the first one, the odds of them losing both of their home games were very little, it was obvious from the start that we would see them win. I think it is better to just focus on what we can do, and that should not be a hard situation to handle.

I think it could be very well made and the bet was a good one. I lost the Knicks-Heat game, that is so far the only game I lost on the second rounds, otherwise I got all of them down so far as profitable bets, I guess it is going to continue down this way for a while longer, unless some unexpected comeback happens from any team. I mean it could happen, but I have confidence.

Gambling casinos do not let us gamble to win, but for them to take advantage on our funds and make them profitable. So I don’t believe that they will provide patterns for us, instead everything is already controlled by  the gambling operators before we start gambling in their platforms. That’s how unfair gambling is. But we fail to see it at times we won, instead that creates more motivation for us that we can actually take advantage in gambling by creating some patterns. However, in the end, it’s always certain that casinos have still won back all our profits, because of the constant edge that they have over their players.
I think you are using the wrong words here, it is not like they don't let you win, or there are gambling operators who are controlling everything. Casinos are a business, and like any other business, they need money to run the business, hence the business model is built in such a way that it favors the platform more than the gamblers.

You can call it unfair or whatever, but there is nothing that is hidden from you or anyone who gambles, the house never says that they don't have an edge over you, they even let you know the house edge percentage for each game.

This is the first time I'm hearing about something like that, I've never known that there are gambling policies that a player or a team needs to follow in a game of sport and if they violate them, they are suspended. However, I don't understand why this has anything to do with sports betting and how it is evil in the scene.

If there are policies that need to be followed, make the players or teams follow them, and if they fail, it's their fault and not the fault of sports betting. Everything in the world has a positive and a negative side, you can just shut down or close everything that exists.

I mean, if those people will enjoy that additional bonus coming from wagering and other kinds of special offers, at the end of
the day it will still give good benefits for the casino.

With more wagering money, the first thing that they'll going to enjoy is the house edge, plus the common mistake of the gambler
playing without limitations and ending it up, losing all their capital.
With every wager the casino will make benefit from you even if you win and for each loss they have the full amount.But you will see lot of gamblers including us look for the various deposit bonus when we sign up on any casino and what are their promotional strategies so it's beneficial for them to get incentives.
I think marketing matters, if they are making just a tiny amount, or even if they lose a tiny small amount, that is good because it is marketing. Normally for marketing we all go pay for companies to do our marketing and that means spending money, in the same logic we are talking about a situation where here they are spending money as well, and they are doing marketing with these promotions.

Obviously it is better to have just one single huge one instead of giving small to most people. Promotions that worth tens of thousands of dollars is not a big deal, I would highly suggest that duelbits spends all of that money all together, and in that way they could just make a bigger name and get themselves heard even more than before, that's a good idea.

Unfortunately not all gamblers are aware of this and they forget that winning in gambling cannot be pursued or hoped for too much because it can only give disappointment over the failure of the hope of winning. I have known the gambling industry for a long time so I know what I really have to do and I got all of that from the many bitter experiences I have felt.
With the awareness that winning is not something that should be prioritized, gamblers will have a sense of responsibility and be wiser in this gambling, friend.

The average person who is obsessed with winning actually loses big and loses more money and if someone gambles just for fun then they can accept defeat and learn that in gambling victory is only owned by a gambler who is calm and can control himself at the moment gambling.
I think that requires a bit of experience though, it is not going to be easy. I have done the mistakes of chasing losses and many other things over time and it was when I was a newbie, back in the day. I feel like that is not going to change much in the end and we shouldn't really be worried about anything at all.

I hope that people would get more experience by losing very little or possibly even getting lucky and winning, but that is just how it is, we are dealing with a big problem when we are newbies. Hopefully the time will come when we will end up with a much better result and with more and more experience we are going to end up with good results, and eventually will learn to lose less and have more fun without a doubt.

Suryakumar Yadav remained unbeaten with 66 off 30 balls and Ishan Kishan on 74 off 39 balls.
Both Batters are in the pavilion right now. Ishan Kishan Scored 75 from 41 Balls and Suryakumar Yadav scored 66 from 31 Balls. These two batters already made the foundation to win the match. Mumbai Indians need only 15 Runs from 15 balls while I am writing this. Probably they will win the match right after I post this. Punjab bowlers were quite expensive except for Rishi Dhawan. Moreover, they were not able to get wickets when they needed them most.
A quick 116 runs partnership (in just 9.5 overs) were enough for the Mumbai for winning this match and have their hopes alive for the top four with both done good damage in this big scoring match Arshdeep Singh and Sam Curran both were main bowlers for the Punjab and main victims of both aggressive batsmen which change the momentum of this match very quickly and shock the IPL followers as well.

First we have good aggressive batting from Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma both punish badly to Jofra Archer, Arshad Khan and Akash Madhwal and score 119 runs in just 8.4 overs, but then we have best reply from Mumbai, and they achieved this target as 7 balls were still remaining hopefully now we will have more matches like this in coming days.
1630  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: UEFA Europa League 2022/23 Season on: May 04, 2023, 08:31:40 AM
Leverkusen have been on an insane run recently. They didn't get a loss in their last 14 official matches I mean. This is a really impressive performance from them considering how they started to this season actually. There is an incredible level of improvement thanks to Xabi Alonso's management. I think many people were doubtful about his first manager experience but he is doing a pretty good job at Leverkusen.

He saved Leverkusen from being under the danger of even relegating from the Bundesliga. They have put in a great effort into their Europa League matches so far as well. They have climbed to the 6th place in the Bundesliga maybe but it is too difficult for them to reach top 4 at the moment. Therefore Xabi Alonso wants this title here.

This is why I think Roma will need to be extra careful this time. Because Leverkusen are a candidate to be a bigger challenge for them.
Xabi Alonso's magic have great impact on Bayer Leverkusen, and they are on amazing run with 14 games without lost mean they achieved their best before having any worst in early half of this season they were in relegation zone with no chance for survival, but suddenly change of coach bring amazing success run now they are at the sixth spot with most chances they will end at this spot because top teams having better distance and chance for the staying at the top but still this is good end for them with spot into UEFA Europa Cup semifinal and ended at fifth or sixth is never been bad for the team which was struggling badly.

Now we have Roma which is struggling into Serie A but their Europa Cup record is much better so here both are at same level, but first leg match could be vital for the both teams which will have advantage then surely this team could be in advantage for the qualification, but prediction is not easy as quality level is at the top.
1631  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 04, 2023, 05:08:03 AM
Related to the commotion that was quite heated within PSG. Lionel Messi has been confirmed to be leaving PSG this summer. Maybe for those who don't know, Messi is traveling in Saudi Arabia with his family and he did that without permission from PSG. Even though after the previous defeat against Lorient in Ligue 1 a few days after there was a training schedule, Messi preferred to travel and this was known by PSG.

However, after this incident there were consequences that Messi had to pay, such as being suspended for two weeks and PSG also would not pay his salary during the suspension. Maybe the words "no player is bigger than the club" are evident in the problems faced by Messi at the moment and PSG are very right to do this to Messi. Where do you think Messi will continue his career this summer?
Even things are not clear because Barcelona have no clearance from La Liga about Messi so if he is busy with his own strategy and doing things for his better future it's OK PSG is not happy which is also right after having these updates I am feeling most chances he is also going to be settled in Saudi Arab after end of this contract with PSG because right now no other club can afford his salary and other luxuries, so it's good for him to stay Intouch with this league which is investing huge funds for increasing their fanbase around the world.

After world cup win things were never been idea for the Messi here in France, so this was already understood he is going to leave PSG, but this was not clear where is his destination for the future because we have no positive news about him in UEFA so with this update from Fabrizio Romano most chances now he is also going to follow Cristiano Ronaldo for the Saudi Professional League.
1632  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Questions of the day for gamblers on: May 03, 2023, 06:45:30 PM
It would be better if the games are decentralized too other than the gambling site. I'm not only sure though if there are great decentralized games out there as I haven't saw one yet. I can gamble on a casino that regulates their own original games as long as the casino is already known to be trusted for a long time.

The most convenient game that I play is dice because this game is very simple and easily accessible because almost all gambling sites have this game. For your last question, I think leverage is only used in trading but if you mean to say multiplier, hunting for higher multiplier requires skill IMO because they are not easy to get especially if your bankroll is very limited.
1633  Economy / Trading Discussion / Re: Did I can make platform without KYC verification on: May 03, 2023, 03:25:45 PM
I still feel fine about KYC, people are overreacting about it. First of all government has all of my info, literally down to my shoe size, so there is absolutely no reason to try to avoid anything from the government. Secondly, if bad people get the information, they would get my ID information, and that is already leaked a million times already, if you think that your ID is not shared in the darknets then you haven't been in darknets a lot, and that's I suppose a good thing.

All in all, there is absolutely no reason for me to fear giving Binance my KYC for example, maybe too shady places would be futile, because why would I, but there is nothing wrong with the ones we have right now, that ain't going to change. Binance will protect it better than your government protects it, I can guarantee you that much for sure.
1634  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why we should play on minor gambling platform? on: May 03, 2023, 02:38:11 PM
in my opinion the risk of giving your identity to a new casino or to a stabilished one is not so different
in both cases you should consider it lost in a way that you possibly won't be able to know if your documents were deleted after verification or not
both risk

though there aren't many casinos without KYC nowadays, right?
It's different, giving your identity documents and personal information to a new casino is not the same as giving them to an established and trusted casino platform since there is basically no reputation nor trust for the new platform and your documents can be used in a bad way where an established platform is more likely to keep them safe.

In very rare cases, a trusted and reputable casino might misuse their collected users' information and break the trust of the community but that doesn't happen all the time since it will compromise their reputation and that isn't good for their business.
1635  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The psychology of betting..... on: May 03, 2023, 08:56:51 AM
I agree with the proposition that we as humans are conditioned to seek patterns in life because the evolutionary process has programmed us in a way that compels us to establish causal relationships between events. However, I don't use very specific methods. I only take a little break from betting when I have suffered large losses. This way, I get some rest and have a calmer mind when I bet again.
What you do is probably the best practice to follow. One shouldn't believe in patterns or superstitious activities when gambling, all you need is a small break and getting back to betting if you have already lost a lot of bets, that way, you will get to change your mood which basically plays a great role in gambling since you will have a control over your emotions.

Though a lot of people believe in these things, changing patterns or following specific ways for gambling, or believing things that are technically not correct is never useful or going to help them win anything more than they are destined to.
1636  Economy / Gambling / Re: Why Opening an Account in a Bitcoin Sportsbook is the Future of Sports Betting on: May 03, 2023, 06:40:04 AM
Well, I don't think that there is anyone who doesn't know that already. Traditional online casinos were not so popular and this is probably why. The rise of online gambling only began when Bitcoin and cryptocurrency casinos started launching and providing services to crypto holders, and that is when the revolution began.

Today, even those who used to play on land-based casinos prefer online gambling platforms that accept cryptocurrencies only because they are way more convenient and easily accessible from almost anywhere you can think about.
1637  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: May 03, 2023, 05:45:46 AM
For me working from 8AM to 5PM is really make me tired because I've spend most of my time on my jobs, I only feel free during weekend where I have more spare time to gamble, travelling, shopping or do anything I like. I only gamble for short time during work days because I need to have time with my family especially play with my kids during their golden ages. If someone who have been married and can gamble everyday, seems like he has a problem about gambling addiction.
That is also what I noticed about my coworkers in my previous job: either they will go to the arena for cockfighting or they will go to other places to get drunk. I feel that they are not tired of doing it, no matter how busy the work is. Even I can't do it, as I want to rest after the work unless it is not a busy day on which I still have spare energy. Though I wouldn't say that they are addicted, as they can still control themselves, it is just part of their daily routine to do it.
There are responsible gamblers as well who don't let gambling get over their emotions and make them spend every dime on it. If your friends are working, taking care of their families, not having mental stress, and are able to do it every day and are happy to do it, I don't see any problem with that since all these signs show that they are responsible gamblers.

If they are not doing everything right, then that probably is a problem for them and they need to stop doing it. I wouldn't mind gambling every day if I know that I have a dedicated budget for it that won't affect any other thing in my life and I can enjoy my time with it.

I won't say Todd Boehly cares less about the club because someone who doesn't care about the club will not be investing so much money to improve the team. Abramovich was successful because he let the professionals do their job while he released money to push the clubs objectives while Todd Boehly has decided to handle the affairs of the club by himself instead of leaving it to experts to do their job so I think that is the problem.
In next season, most chances Todd Boehly which already having his lessons will not do mistakes as he has done in this season because he already lost huge funds due to his poor decisions and interference into teams affairs now need just a right man for the job with sit on chair and release funds for the improvement of quality and performance can help him otherwise things could be gone from bad to worse even fans can also create problems as well.

In this season they have enough quality players which were able to do things which helps the team but sadly due to his interference club gone in wrong direction which is never been ideal situation Abramovich was the best person to sit which helps this club to go at the top of the tables but now suddenly things gone in wrong hands and wrong way which needs to be change as soon as possible.
1639  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: May 02, 2023, 08:32:24 AM
Casinos seeking KYC for withdrawal are completely out of line; if they do not request KYC when funding, how can they want KYC after winning such large sums?

That's a good point but different jurisdictions can have different requirements or thresholds for when the KYC is required. On top of that, there might be different levels of verification. So it's possible that for smallish deposits only basic verification was required, but after winning big, the player might have fallen into a different threshold and was asked to complete a full verification.
But even if that was the case, every player should've been properly informed of the procedures when signing up.
No casino or gambling platform would ask you for KYC verification at the time of deposit or registration since they don't want to stop you from gambling on their platform, it's a basic tactic not to let a gambler go away from the platform. They will also never let you know themselves that this is a requirement at the time of signing up.

But, they usually have this mentioned in the Terms and Conditions and that is what they say later when asked if why they didn't ask for KYC at the beginning or mentioned it. That is how it works in casinos these days.
1640  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: do you lose on slots? on: May 02, 2023, 07:29:04 AM
i play slots hoping to win 'big win' or 'jackpot' but many times it don't hits and my balance get drained after betting many times in one slot machine. i play more bets hoping it already took my so much balance it will definitely going to hit this times, but it never happens, and my balance becomes "0".

About slot machines, it is also important to note that there are a multitude of different machines and dynamics and it is necessary to know certain "tricks" to do well in the games.

I once thought that betting strategy existed only for sports betting where the result depended on an external factor, but I have noticed that even in slot machines it is possible to increase the chances of winning a prize when the bettor is familiar with the strategy. machine.

Playing only at random is not good, each game has its particularities, bonus releases and different combinations depending on the moment of the game, understanding this is essential to increase your probability of winning Wink
There isn't much reality in that, and though some slot machines tend to give a bonus round or free spins after a certain amount of spins, that doesn't happen all the time or with all the slot machines. So basically, there is no strategy that can increase the chances of one's winning apart from their luck if it's on their side.

What do you refer to as "tricks" in a slot machine? How do you plan to tackle the house edge which is a bit higher in slot machines than other games? How can one make the house not win over them which is what usually happens in casinos?
