Finally i can win with one of the freebets i have thanks to the pools sponsored by SB.



Today games were truly amazing, a rain of goals in Premier League.

The sad part, its Southampton its more far than ever from salvation.
Nice win @darxiaomi is this a single bet? obviously this is a high multi for single bet and honestly I have never taken risks like this  Cheesy
I think that's a bit common when you gamble on the underdog. Sure the favorites get like 1.40 all the time but when you look at the other side of that bet, you will see that the bet could be this high for those lower level teams. In this case ATM was highly favored for this game and everyone though they would win, but the other side had that too. Here I see it's about corners, which is also a very open ended one, there are options to bet for a lot of corners and this happens.

This works for yellow cars too, once I knew that there would be a fight breaking out in a derby that I watched, I knew the beforehand and I knew it was an intense game, so I wagered 11 yellow cards total, that was 20.00+ odds if I remember correctly, but these things are available, not common but available.

Laziness is actually not a reason to obey the rules of every casino and we only need a few minutes to finish reading all the rules so that we can understand all the restrictions that have been set by the casino.
So that we won't have any problems after knowing all the restrictions that have been determined and as long as we don't violate some of these rules I'm sure everything will be fine without any problems.
As I did at Rollbit before registering here I also read all the policies and conditions that have been set and I must comply with these rules.
I think people are not even aware how much they would need to read, it is a short one. However, there is a horrible reality that we will need to realize sooner or later, and that's a very sad thing. There are so many people who have changed their personality and because of the social media (I assume that's the reason) we have people not even reading everything.

As in, you could write a tweet, and the "longer tweets" we have nowadays for blue ticks may not get all of it read, people get bored of reading THAT quickly. Surely there are still people who read books, but that number is dwindling every single day, and that makes me sad. So there are people who may not be able to actually have any type of attention span to read the rules and that is the unfortunate world we are living in right now.

talking about the benefits there are 2 options, namely gamblers will win when they avoid gambling and don't come back or become bookies, that will be very profitable.

from some of the differences between investing in bitcoin and gambling using bitcoin, this is actually very different but sometimes one thinks too seriously about this. it's clear that investing is like saving when the price drops we won't really lose all our funds and there will be a time when the bitcoin price recovers or pumps and that's when we are lucky.
but gambling using bitcoins we deposit to gambling sites to bet and unlucky end up losing all the money. because as I said last time that gambling based on luck and investment is a strategy for managing ways so you don't lose too much.
Someone who thinks that gambling and investing are the same is simply a fool. There is no only luck in investments, especially when you are investing in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, it can be gambling if you are investing in meme coins for high profits but good coins probably return some money to you eventually.

When it comes to gambling, there is no guarantee that you will get any of your money back no matter how hard you try since it's totally based on luck and there is no influence of anything else that might make you win.

Are DeFi and NFT becoming more and more popular? I wonder if anyone can remind me of the last of the newly released high-profile projects from the DeFi or NFT category? I think those token categories lost their popularity a long time ago when the hype for those projects ended. Is NFT even of interest to anyone right now? Other than for speculation, does anyone buy these pictures? I have big doubts about the popularity of these tokens. Now the community is interested in the topic of artificial intelligence and various tokens-layers, 0, 2, etc.
The topic of artificial intelligence is very popular today, there are even some new coins appearing, but more precisely memecoin. The emergence of AI memecoins is currently making memecoins even more popular, even the increase can be up to thousands of percent in just a few hours.

In addition, the NFT market has also started to move again, but with some utility tokens. Currently $PEPE COIN (coin of the NFT PEPE) is popular and many have become suddenly rich with $PEPE COIN. just imagine, just buying $27 PEPE COIN in 4 days can get around $1 Million, it's very crazy and really hype right now.

https://twitter.com/DexGemsReal/status/1648575669641543681
I've never heard of any AI meme coins and how they are making meme coins more popular. If there is anything that makes a meme coin popular is community hype just like how $PEPE is being hyped so badly on Twitter by a group of people who were the early investors and now want others to invest so that they can exit before it crashes.

Meme coins don't have any future, they are hyped by a specific group of people who have bought early, people start buying and hyping it too, when everyone starts buying seeing the hype when the price is already quite high, the early investors along with the team sell all their holdings and exit the market and the price crashes to a point where it stays stable or moves very slowly up and down forever. That's how it goes.
1645  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Where is your stand as a Bitcoin holder. on: April 30, 2023, 07:29:34 PM
Well, I can clearly say that I'm not fitting into any of these categories since I don't currently hold any Bitcoins because I usually sell and spend everything that I get every now and then, also, I agree with most of the users here who are saying that disclosing such information can actually be a threat for you since you could become a target for that.

One should keep such things private since that is exactly what cryptocurrencies are for so that you can have your wealth hidden from the general public or even the central authorities that usually know you have money if you keep it with them.
1646  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: April 30, 2023, 06:04:01 AM
This is awful to see that gambling addicts can go to any length just to satisfy their gambling urge. Why will the casino allow a 65yrs old man to owe them such huge amount in gambling,which led him to this waywardness. I am not blaming the casino for allowing him to gamble because My Yuan should have stay away from his gambling activities,if he don't have money to gamble. This is the problem of taking gambling to be a lifestyle and thinking that you can make profit from it. It will destroy you and bring shame to you and your family.
How would the casino know that the money he is using to gamble has been taken from a person as a ransom for holding their child? It's pure business for them and they will obviously not refuse such money since it is a benefit for their business. Imagine you are the owner of the casino and getting $5m from a gambler, would you refuse it? Never.

It's only the gambler who must be blamed for that and now when they are caught doing that unethical and illegal act, they must be punished badly so that they don't think of doing that again, but again, they are old and the court might go easy on them.

I've missed the qualifying, but I've just seen the highlights ( https://youtu.be/7QFluV5wV4I ) and:
* it looks like we might have an interesting race between RBR, Ferrari, Merc and Aston
* I find interesting the performance improvement McLaren has shown, but it may be only caused by the slow corners of the city circuit

Today is sprint race day, I'm looking forward to that. Since everybody had a lot less time to practice and configure the cars.. it may be interesting (and obviously the race too).
I think it is obvious that Mclaren improved, but ferrari didn't had improvement as much as they claimed. I mean not the chasis at least, they said they thought about changing that but didn't really happen if you ask me and that is why we won't see them win the race. Pole position is great of course, but I think it is not that important to get the pole position because it would not be a big deal, I think it is important to realize that Charles got the pole before as well, and that means that he gets pole position but loses the race.

Red Bull doesn't have a single lap pace, they have a long term race deal, while other teams end up getting slower and slower, Red bull keeps the pace up for a very long time and manage to lap similar lap times for a longer period of time. All in all, I think unless there is a crash or a problem, Max may end up winning this one again.
1648  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The psychology of betting..... on: April 29, 2023, 10:49:10 PM
Gambling? It's like a tremendous, mysterious chocolate box, folks. You never know, but with strategy, you can boost your chances of sweet victory, or a winning streak, bigly. Think of it as chess, predicting opponents' moves. But there's a twist, a blend of luck and tactics. Imagine Mario Kart and Scrabble had an incredible, unpredictable offspring! Feeling lucky? Go ahead, toss those dice, whirl the wheel, or unveil the card. Who knows? You might strike gold, and etch your name in gambling history. Believe me!
like looking for a golden needle in a huge haystack. as long as we continue to search carefully and thoroughly like gambling, we will definitely find that luck.
but here the problem is that sometimes every gambler has a slightly strange psychological habit in every bet they make, such as using patterns in slot games and pressing the bet button before the reels stop. this is a psychological habit that gamblers may become addicted to because this habit seems like something comfortable to do.
Superstition shouldn't be brought into gambling in my opinion as that probably makes someone lose even more. Luck doesn't go a particular way that a person might think or believe in but it just happens when it has to, so having this kind of mindset where one thinks they might get a big win if they stop the machine before its usual time, etc. will not do any good at all.

One should think realistically and behave that way too in gambling or even anything in life so that one can easily accept and digest whatever happens. It becomes more difficult to accept losses for people who are superstitious.
1649  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Losses In Gambling That Still Haunts You Until This Day on: April 29, 2023, 05:18:22 PM
Mostly the losses have been gradual and not very big at once, but I remember once I lost a significant amount of money that I don't remember the date to. It was around $200 but it was about 5 to 6 years ago and though it doesn't sound like a big amount, it was for me since I don't come from a very rich family background or from a developed country.

The game was dice, of course, and I remember I used the martingale strategy that used to work for me for some time and I used it again to cover the losses that I had initially, and soon after I realized I'm already out of money with a massive loss streak.
1650  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: April 29, 2023, 06:53:52 AM
There is this quote that is floating around and I searched but I always see "reportedly" results and not directly him saying it so maybe it is just making fun of these things and not reality but I wanted to ask here. There is these talks that is going around saying Al-Nassr club owner said "I got scammed twice in my life before, once when I ordered 3 kebabs and got 2 instead, and the other is when we paid for Ronaldo".

I am sure that it is just fun, but I have seen it in so many places that at first I thought it was a joke, but after seeing it 100th time I wanted to ask if that is true or not. If it is true, that is going to be a big trouble and Ronaldo may leave without a doubt, but if it is fake then there is no reason to leave right away, plus if he leaves even from here, then it could be hard for him to find another club as well.
1651  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: I am only trying to stay safe by gambling less on: April 28, 2023, 06:28:05 PM
Investing in an asset as Bitcoin is not gambling, if you have a plan or if you are into it for the long term. Actually, I recall reading some news a couple of years ago about a study performed by some university, they gave some money to gamblers and make them trade Bitcoin on an exchange, they lost all they money, because im the end they did not even have a plan and did not even know how the read charts or indicators.

If you were putting money into shitcoins, then I would argue that you are closer to gambling than your would if you were trying to profit off Bitcoin.

The difference between trading and gambling is the fact trading is not only about luck, but other economical factors which can be predicted, unlike slots, dices or plinko. You are right, your friends are not. Gamble responsibly and trade wisely.  Wink
Investing has risks because there are fluctuations and we can't predict the flow of things therefore we can consider them as gambling. it's important to have a plan in everything that you do so that won't feel lost.

That's a nice experiment they conduct there but maybe all of those people involved are unlucky because luck can still make them win even without a true knowledge about trading but if they make things seriously, they can learn trading and multiply that money but they didn't even bother because it wasn't theirs anyway and then their profession is through gambling only. The OP's decision to gamble less is great and we must follow it too if we are a heavy gambler.
1652  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: April 28, 2023, 10:33:53 AM
Well, gambling addiction is a curse for sure, and people go so low only to fulfil their desires if they don't have anything left they have for themselves then such incidents start to happen, and believe me, this is not the worst case I've heard and people can steep even lower than this and I'm more surprised because of the age of the suspect.

Usually, people who are younger tend to commit such crimes but this is surprising to see someone of that age being so much addicted to target their own family. Most of the time, people just steal and sell stuff only to feed their lust caused by the addiction.
1653  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Easy way to paste IMG fast to your post on: April 28, 2023, 08:49:02 AM
A good alternative to Imgur is ImgBB, I have used it on both PC and smartphone and it works perfectly fine, apart from the part that it shows a lot of advertisement but that should bother anyone since they are using the free service and they don't open automatically unless someone deliberately clicks on them.

To OP, what if someone doesn't use Telegram? I don't think that someone will first create an account on Telegram only to use this bot to get quick links for their posts. It's probably better if there is a website that is easy to use and quick, just like the one I provided above.
1654  Economy / Economics / Re: What class of an investor are you? on: April 28, 2023, 07:22:41 AM
I think most people will be categorized as the researcher investor since people tend to be sure that what they are investing in is actually safe and they don't have much of a risk of losing their money since it is not easy to earn it, at least not for everyone. So, I would also consider myself to be in that category as I tend to do some research before taking such decisions.

I also think that these categories depend on a person's financial status, a new investor is someone who doesn't have a lot of money to invest, an average investor would be a researcher investor, an above-average investor would choose Ponzi schemes and then a wealthy person will tend to do bigger trades or investments.
1655  Economy / Gambling / Re: Without money, does it still qualify as gambling? on: April 28, 2023, 06:08:05 AM
There are kinds of gambling we play in our local settings doesn't demand the inclusion of money, it's all for the fun that comes with it and it's still regarded as gambling just same way with the superpick game. They're all gambling without or without money involved.
From the local settings perspective, when money is not involved in gambling, we may refer to it as game because we can guess or argue about games of different kinds within the neighborhood, when we put in our money, then we are in for taking the risk and we have set in for gambling because in gambling, you make use of money to place a bet before you can enjoy gambling, here you put in all your efforts towards it and have the potential of winning a particular amount in gambling.
I don't understand why some people don't get the simple thing that anything that you do without risking any money or valuable goods or anything at all that is of value to you is not gambling, and gambling is only when you have something staked up that you can lose if you don't win or guess the correct outcome of whatever you are playing.

Even if you are playing a game with cards that is usually a gambling game but you are playing just for fun with your friends without anything at stake, that isn't considered gambling, until you guys start betting things on the games you are playing.
1656  Economy / Gambling / Re: No bet is a waste on: April 28, 2023, 04:36:23 AM
IMO, actually the saying "no bet is a waste" is just a figure of speech. We can interpret the meaning of these words broadly and depend on our own point of view.

Well, referring to what you said. when we bet on the team that is the favorite, or bet on the team that we support, all of that is fine even though in the end our favorite team loses. but because they played well, even though they lost, it was worth it. or we can define it in another way, depending on our own. which at its core, the title of this thread is just allegory. it could also, to motivate us gamblers. anyway, the point the OP was referring to in the thread was to share his betting tips.

Talking about a gamble, basically, every gamble we're going to make. must be accompanied by knowledge, yes, knowledge regarding what we are betting on. Get to know before making a bet, analyze the two teams that will compete, both from formations, players, systems, rotations, injuries, odds, options, and all things related to betting. after that, then we decided to bet. this too, could fall into a category like the title of this thread. so, no bet is a waste. if, done right.
Absolutely! "no bet is a waste" echoes the sentiment of "victories and defeats intertwine". Losing? It's a vexing enigma!

Nonetheless, risks harbor a tantalizing allure. Life is but a fleeting moment, and occasionally, we must cast the die into the unknown, embracing serendipity. Refrain from gambling your entire fortune on a single equine contender! Possessing surplus currency and sensing the winds of fortune? Venture forth!

Bear in mind, gambling should evoke exhilaration, not anxiety. If mirth eludes you, bid adieu to the game.
To be honest, it's not easy to sense the winds of fortune so that you can venture forth to gain high multipliers or consecutive wins based on your luck, it that was possible and anyone could know, I believe casinos would simply go bankrupt in no time. The house edge doesn't really let the winds be on your side even if you are sensing some luck at a moment.

Sometimes, you may miss a big win only because you are either out of funds already or feeling angry and frustrated and have no patience left in you so you just exit and leave the game right at the time when you could win something, but again, when we follow such guts, we also lose more sometimes.
1657  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How do you stay updated on: April 27, 2023, 08:53:04 PM
If your interest has just started to grow in the sport, you shouldn't just start betting on matches so quickly. You will need to learn about every player and their performance, evaluate their previous matches and their results, and find out who are the best players who have been performing over the years and are still performing very well.

Someone should only bet on sports they have enough knowledge and experience in, so once you start growing interest in a different sport than what you generally watch and like, you should first only learn more about it. You should start researching by using Google search.
1658  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion on: April 27, 2023, 11:54:53 AM
The Afghanistan team was underestimated by Pakistan. Perhaps this was a series Pakistan management thought they would easily win. But Pakistan's performance against Afghanistan was terrible. And they were badly defeated. The team also failed to play well against New Zealand.
The only weakness of the Pakistan team in the last few years was their batting line-up. The performance of the batsmen was completely erratic. But now Pakistan's bowlers are also not performing well. This is why Pakistan could not win the series against New Zealand. Pakistan's performance is deteriorating day by day. On the other hand, teams like Bangladesh and Afghanistan are becoming stronger.
I am not agreed with this Pakistan underestimate Afghanistan because if you are able to go through streets then surely you will have idea common Pakistani have enough knowledge of cricket, and they rated Afghanistan as dangerous team for these two formats ODI and T20i but here blunder done by Pakistani management and I have feeling they give series to them for having some soft gesture but fail because they never learn from their mistakes which they have done in 1999 World Cup as they give Bangladesh match for having test cap, but things were surely gone in wrong side form Bangladesh side same happened here.

As they have enough players pool and sending mostly player which were completely new in International cricket this was the biggest blunder, and they face the consequences now we have good win from New Zealand side in last T20i which is surely impressive thanks to new Chapman which is now having spot into ODI side as well after giving heroics performance in T20i series.
1659  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: I may sound really stupid right now, but it's what I noticed on: April 27, 2023, 10:42:01 AM
Well, first of all, you don't sound stupid for saying that, it is a good observation and has some reality in it, but what I really think is that news, either good or bad, doesn't stop whether the times are good or bad but it's just that the public tends to react to them based on how the market is reacting, that is probably the reason why when there is a bull run, bad news doesn't really matter much or have much of an effect on the price.

The manipulation of the market is mostly done by the whales and that doesn't always involve news but they tend to do it by buying or selling with big amounts mostly, maybe sometimes the news is a plot for the general public to spread FUD and have a better price for themselves.
1660  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Turkish Super League 2022/23 Season on: April 27, 2023, 08:22:53 AM
Everyone is talking about Fenerbahce's title chances or about missing Fenerbahce's title. I think the main thing to talk about is Beşiktaş's second place possibility. Because Fenerbahçe has 64 points and Beşiktaş has 62 points. Fenerbahce may also miss the second place. If Fenerbahce makes a mistake again, Besiktas can take advantage of this opportunity.



Yeah, the competition is quite tight for top three positions right now. Indeed Besiktas have a chance for the second position also but it depends on how Fenerbahce will perform on one hand. Because they are trying to stay as close as possible to Galatasaray for not losing their title chance early. They wasted a big opportunity last week though. That equalizer by Istanbulspor in the stoppage time was crazy. Even in this kind of a crucial situation they can make simple defensive mistakes.

Next week seems to be very important for all these three teams. Fenerbahce will hope for Besiktas to beat Galatasaray or draw with them at least. Because really this week can even determine the champion. Besiktas are eight points away maybe but I still expect them to put a big effort into the match to get closer to the leader. I started to think that Besiktas won't lose this one.
Now as we are heading for the end of this season things are looking interesting with Besiktas is going to host Galatasaray which is leaders and if they want to win title then surely they need to win this match as well otherwise things can go wrong way for them with they have no ideal history at the Vodafone Park Istanbul were in last five meetings Galatasaray never won against home side and if we have another result like this surely we will have three teams on same way for the title with anybody game because Besiktas is having amazing performance and Fenerbahçe is also improving themselves for the final round matches.

With this all we are going to have one of the most interesting end of this season all top three teams on same level with having good improvement in quality and surely this is going to be good for the Turkish League which is having drastically improvement and positive changes.
