1721  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are lotteries really a good way to engage with gamblers? on: April 12, 2023, 06:44:49 AM
Well, I used to take part in lotteries only to try out my luck, but unfortunately, I could never really win a prize though it seems fun to me to take part and then wait for the results to come out. Mostly, it looks better if there aren't a lot of participants even if the prize isn't too big because that decreases your chances of winning badly.

And of course, I do track the progress of such things if I'm personally participating only to see how it's doing. I also believe that such campaigns can be a growth element, do you know Freebitco.in? The main reason why they got so popular was because they introduced a lottery on their website.

There are so many things that hinder Messi from extending his contract with PSG, one of which is that PSG fans demand too much from Messi. After PSG failed in the Champions League, Messi became the first party to be attacked by the fans. Another factor may be that because Argentina dramatically beat France in the world cup final, Messi was also banned from bringing the world cup trophy to PSG headquarters on the grounds of protecting the feelings of their fans.

Messi farewell to PSG was inevitable, he started to feel uncomfortable being there because the PSG fans didn't appreciate him. Barcelona are at the forefront of welcoming Messi arrival, Xavi will try to urge the club to immediately process Messi arrival to strengthen his squad for next season.
This all is correct and after having things like these I am personally feeling Messi deserve to leave this club and having new distinction for himself because PSG fans are really hurt after losing World Cup final against Argentina and Messi role for win of Argentina was vital, so this is never been easy for any team to have things like these and recently after PSG exit from Champions League fans are doing more than he deserves because alone he is not guilty in this all with this is 11 players game and all needs to be done for the win of team, but sadly defence were not working as they also need to be done against Bayern Munich.

Now Messi going to Barcelona or any other club is never been easy because we also have too many problems at Barcelona as well even now they are leading for the title win and have 100% chance for the win, but their financial situation is not allowing them for having Messi back in their team.

In One Day International cricket Bangladesh is much prominent. According to their experience they can make a significant challenge to any strong team. On the other hand, in ICC ranking Ireland lower ranked team so the Bangladesh team will have more opportunities to control this series. In this regard, the upcoming ODI series between the two teams could be in favor of Bangladesh. Because in the team senior players will be in charge especially Tamim Iqbal, Shakib Al Hasan, Liton Das, Mushfiqur Rahim and Mostafizur Rahman are expected to perform good. They are experienced enough to beat their opponents.
There is no doubt about Bangladesh performance in ODI and T20i as they are doing better performance and have enough ability to give better results as well but playing in England has never been easy for subcontinent teams due to conditions and pitch is also never been supportive for them, so this series could be not easy for them after having good result at home against Ireland even they have services of few experienced players which are doing amazing job in last few years and bringing team moral high for having good results.

Prediction is not easy even Bangladesh will be favorite to win, but Ireland can take good advantage of home and favorable conditions BCB announces their full strength squad as they are also feeling it's good opportunity before world cup for having good practice in ODI.

Funny enough The social media this days is one of the last places to go and do research on new cryptocurrency projects. Infact it was through social media promotions or hypes by celebrities that newbies have the narrative of getting rich quick through cryptocurrency. Some of these Alticoins have a very well established and even verified account to promote these projects that end up dumping.

I don’t warn People not to invest in all these alts because some of them turn out to have a great pump during the bull run I will always warn people that these alts are more less gamble to accumulate and shouldn’t be placed in same category as bitcoin. And one who is looking for an asset to invest in should stick to bitcoin only
Well, though I would also suggest inexperienced people to stay away from most of the altcoins as investing in them isn't less than gambling as you said, but sometimes these gambles are worth taking but only with very small amounts since they mostly provide a hell of a lot of tokens for only a small worth of your capital and it sometimes can hit the jackpot.

I say that because we have seen in the past where some altcoins had grown hundred folds just because of the hype from the communities and maybe also because of the buying pressure put by some unknown whales which were also results of the hype. Moral of the story is, they can pay off sometimes so they might be worth buying only with the smallest possible amounts.
1725  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Rigged Game on: April 11, 2023, 06:53:11 PM
There is basically no other way to determine that a game has been rigged or a casino platform is scamming you so the only solution for that is to gamble only in casinos that have a provably-fair system and you can verify every single bet of yours to know that the game hasn't been rigged and you have actually lost the bets based on the RNG's outcomes.

If you are gambling on a platform that has no verifiable source for you to know that the bets have been valid and the house has actually won due to the house edge, there are chances that you have been scammed if you have lost 20 consecutive bets.
1726  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Martingale strategy in casinos on: April 11, 2023, 06:18:03 PM
Martingale's strategy will never work in any casino in the long term. I will share my personal experience with you. When I first came to know about this Martingale's strategy, I decided to test it out. It worked well for a few of my dice games but then i kept on doubling my money on every loss, but unfortunately, i never got to win until my whole balance at the gambling site was exhausted.

I concluded that once we keep applying Martingale's strategy, the casino will recognize the pattern and then there will be a time when we won't find a win and lose all our money.
This is why this strategy is known to work if you have good bankroll to begin with.
But if you are working on a certain amount, then, you will likely end up losing all your funds.
Besides, there's only a period that this strategy will work for you. But if you won't stop playing, then, the house will catch up as remember, there's HE.
Martingale or any other known gambling strategy, will only work for you if you know when to stop. This is why any strategy won't give you a guarantee of winnings.
Even having a very large bankroll can't stop you from going bankrupt if you are using Martingale strategy and if the loss streak becomes a little too large, let's say about 10 to 15 consecutive losses, and believe me, when you are out of luck, that happens. I know it doesn't happen every single time but we all know that this is something possible in gambling.

I just had an estimate, if you get 17 to 18 consecutive losses, have a bankroll of $1m, and the initial bet is only $5, you will go bankrupt at the 18th bet if you are doubling your bet after every loss. So it's basically a deadly strategy.

Tomorrow quarter-final match will be tough, because both teams are good, Manchester City performance is good and their squad is stable and strong the same to Bayern Munich, the is very competitive. The match between Manchester City and Bayern Munich will be much more interesting, it is very difficult to determine who is stronger here.Bayern Munich is clearly not in great shape, but in the Champions league they have very good statistics and have been undefeated for a long time. And Manchester City team has great potential in the Champions League.who is going to win tomorrow match, tomorrow match will be very strong.
Both Manchester City and Bayern Munich are very strong teams with good and intelligent players, so it will be very difficult to predict who will win the match tomorrow. Manchester City are very good at scoring goals, especially Haaland, Alvarez, and Gundogan; however, I believe that Bayern Munich are strong in terms of defense and serious on the field, so they won't easily allow them to score.
It is impossible for all of the teams competing in the quarterfinals to win, despite the fact that they all want to succeed in the champion league. Soon, everyone will be able to see who advance to the next round.
Tomorrow we will have one of the toughest match between two best clubs in UEFA which are loaded with the best players from the globe Manchester City conceded two goals in last five games at home and Bayern Munich is having two defeats in away games from their last five games which are clearly giving some idea how things will be in this match because Manchester City is having good advantage of home and last time they beat Bayern Munich which is also positive for them, but things can change with too many quality players in these both teams which can turn tables into their favour as well.

Mostly people's feeling prediction is not easy for this match because of quality of these both teams, but I still believe in this first leg match we will have Manchester City as winner even this could be close encounter, but things can change into second leg as well in favor of Bayern Munich.

Everyone is tipping Real Madrid to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. But it would not be right to underestimate the Chelsea team. Because the Champions League platform is completely different. Chelsea reached the quarter-finals on their merits. So it is not right to underestimate any team.
Both teams are worse than their versions last year, they were better last year and Real won, now they are worse, but Chelsea is much worse whereas Real is just a bit worse, looking at the league games of course because if we were to look at just the UCL games then they are both still here which means there wouldn't be any difference at all.

The fact that they are going to try and do something about this situation and fix it, means they both first need to beat each other, both teams will want a better next season and key to that starts from having a good ending to this year and losing here won't help that. One of them will go back upset, you just have to accept that as a fact and shouldn't really focus on it at all.
1729  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2022/2023 on: April 10, 2023, 07:12:43 PM
With the current point difference being 3 making it even harder for Al Nassr to catch Ittihad FC, in the middle of the month they will have the opportunity to equalize points or also take over first place with an advantage on goal difference if they beat Al Hilal, because Ittihad will only play after the holidays' Eid al-Fitr and it will face the strong Al Shabab team.

In the last two matches against Al Hilal, Al Nassr was only able to get 1 draw and a crushing defeat at home, so Al Nassr must be careful otherwise their points will be even further behind Ittihad and opportunities are closing.
Ronaldo always looks frustrated and loses control every time his team gets bad results, does he feel very strong pressure to be able to bring his team to win the league? but it's worth it because he earns fantastic money from this club
After dominating match having end without any goal is surely a big setback for them because Al Feiha is now having no win in last four games and just above relegation zone which is clearly not impressive for Al-Nassr now next week they are going to face Al-Hilal in away game which could be also not easy game and surely this will decide can they fight for the title race, or now it's all about Al-Ittihad which is currently leading table by 3 points.

If Ronaldo is frustrated it's natural because after having result like this against team like Al Feiha is surely not ideal situation for the team which is spending millions of USD for improving quality and performance and having big targets for near future, but surely things could be better in next season because we all know this is first season and its never been easy to adopt conditions and having better results quickly.

Migrant workers in the United Arab Emirates and Oman are mostly the temporary ones. They work in these Emirates for a couple of years and then return to India or Pakistan. Now creating national cricket teams out of these players doesn't make any sense because the loyalties lie with their native countries and not with UAE or Oman. A few weeks ago, there was a match between Nepal and UAE being staged in Dubai. Despite the match being hosted by UAE, there was not a single fan in the stadium who supported that team. On the other hand, Nepal was being supported by thousands of fans.
I understand this all situation but still if they want to enjoy then surely need to change their policies or having better strategy for bringing things which increase interest of local peoples, and they will be able to have quality players in future as well or leave this all because peoples are not interested, and they are doing bad things which will hurt other countries which are working on merit but sadly have no enough sources.

Even no one can force ICC or relative boards to bring better policies for adopting this all because we are no enough powerful to convey them for having things in this way with right now money is main thing, and they are taking good advantage after allowing these Gulf region countries for having teams with adopted players which are against the spirit of the game.
1731  Economy / Gambling / Re: Gambler Loses 1.4 million USD in a bet with lower than 1.01 odds! on: April 10, 2023, 06:19:54 AM
Without information from the gambler we can`t say that it was a lesson for him. If he has an opportunity to make several same bets same time - he has good chances to get more profit than this lose.
If he makes 3-5 such bets per day - he can get more money for a month. Of course he doesn`t like this situation but i don`t sure that it is critical for him.
You are right that it might not be a lesson for him since he might have a very big bankroll for gambling, but it surely is a lesson for everyone else to understand that gambling is purely based on luck, so if someone with 1.01 odds can lose, then anyone with any bet can lose or maybe win if they are lucky enough but the house edge will mostly make you lose.

And what you said isn't actually true. What makes you think that he wouldn't have lost any of the other bets if he did more betting in the same time? And how can someone make any profits if they are playing with 1.01x odds and losing millions of dollars in the middle since house edge is always there?
1732  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Cricket match prediction discussions on: April 09, 2023, 08:53:10 PM
This is the criteria and the same is useful for the Arab nations. When we talk about UAE, almost 30% of the population is from India and next stands Pakistan with around 13% whereas the native population is around 12% for which it is possible to see high number of players in the UAE national team coming from both the countries. With Oman same is the scenario, Indian population is around 20% in Oman. With the increasing population in India we were able to see good number of people moving to Arab countries for their jobs as immigrants. This is how the players might've got into the national team. Other countries doesn't have this access, if not those countries might've got more foreign players in their squad.
Even I agreed about these all statics but still I have to explain one thing mostly players those are coming in these teams are not from grassroots which is the biggest issue mostly these are coming from their countries for jobs and other stuff and now representing these countries without their citizenship level which is main issue if they have players from their system then surely no one talk about this all because all understand how life is going here in these Gulf countries, but sadly they are not following criteria they are just hiring players which are fail to have any chance in their native country and enjoying here.

With there is no doubt about this all Gulf is second home for the Indians as they have strong base here and long term connections but still here these Arabs are not allowing mostly peoples their citizenship because they are still trying to increase domestic population or having peoples those are doing best in few departments like education, health and computer management.
1733  Economy / Gambling / Re: Enough to consider a casino scam? on: April 09, 2023, 03:35:12 PM
A casino asking for KYC for any amount that is considered big is a normal thing and it doesn't make a casino a scam, and there would probably be a reason why they didn't accept the KYC application, the main reason for that could be invalid documents, so the player will need to get in touch with the support team and confirm which document would work and apply with that once again.

For the bonus part, I think the best thing to do is to contact support and tell them about the situation, if they respond and still don't do anything about it, then the doubts would surely arise about the service not being legit, but things like that happen and support should be able to help.

Let me explain how close Liverpool is and how far away they are as well. If they won their last 3 games that would have been extra 8 points, and they are one game behind right now so that would be 3 more and 11 points.

Right now, they are at 43 points, add 11 more points and that would make it 54 points. That would be over Tottenham, and right on the tail of United/Newcastle duo. Just the last 3 games, that's it, not like it is a whole season thing, if they won only the last 3 games they would be in UCL discussion and would be lovely. You know what happened instead? They are 8th and at 43 points whereas Spurs is 53 points, there is 10 point difference, more than 3 win difference, which is harder to achieve. Very different scenario.

You could always use this thread and do the same thing. People don't mind a tipster on the forum, but they may not want to join a new discord. It's just easier to login to 1 thing IMO.
Since as you said, a lot of users would probably not want to join a different platform to get the tips or participate in discussions related to them, so maybe it would be a good idea if OP shares his tips on both places. He has created the server and people have joined too, and some more may join later, but those who don't want to do that will be able to get the tips right from here.

Tipsters have always been welcome in the forum, especially those who have a good track record and an impressive win ratio since OP mentioned he had 4 wins out of 5 bets recently, that would have been interesting if they were posted here too.

Al Hilal failed to defend their position because they lost quite badly to Al Shabab, which is their competitor in the standings so far, even though Al Shabab is often only able to draw against Al Hilal so this is a good win for Al Shabab.
In the 23rd week of matches it is unlikely that it will affect the standings for 1st and 2nd positions because Ittihad FC and Al Nassr will both face teams that are difficult to beat them, so both of them will get 3 points together and changes may occur in the match the following weeks
Now eight games left in this season, and we have good difference between top four and others which is clearly indicating Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad will fight for the top two and Al-Shadab and Al-Hilal will be on for 3rd and fourth things still tricky as any game can bring changes, but these four are going to stay here until end of this season Ronaldo impact is working on Al-Nassr as this was his first season but in coming weeks things could be more wide open, and we will have better results even if we have no quality players in other teams than Al-Nassr can dominate this league.

Here I agreed with you there is no chance for the Talisca in Brazilian National team as they have enough players those are doing impressive job in national team, and he is in last six years never been in any big team or league with age is now also reaching to 30 giving all details about his future right now he is doing good job for the current club and now with the extended contract mean he will have good time for enjoying after end of this contract most chances things could be not favorable for him in any league with most chances he will return to Brazil.

^ Because there are too many potential risks in investing in crypto token casinos we must be considered them before dropping our money.
It could be these, regulatory risks, market volatility risks, reputation risks, and liquidity risks will probably be the possible downside of the token casino and that is right, with proper research you will find out a good decision in investing in a token casino. So it is up to you to decide which crypto token casino to choose because dropping the price is pretty normal to me.
I agree and I accepted the fact when I invested and hold BFG token but I trust their roadmap, their goal, and their platform and so far they are doing great both in the market and in the industry, as long as they have the support of the gambling community and they keep their reputation intact investing in BFG token is still worth it, like all the other altcoins it has all the risk attached to it, but they have a better platform compared to other altcoins which only give you empty promises and useless platform, I hope Rollbit will continue and will still be one of the profitable casino based token in the industry. 
BFG's utility and usage sound interesting and reasonable, though I wouldn't be interested in a casino's native token, if I was, I would probably invest in BFG or instead, just play on the platform to mine some and then stake them on the platform. I didn't do much research about it but from the about page of their website, I can say that it is worth having.

On the other hand, I believe Rollbit got in trouble mainly because it providing derivatives trading to its customers which is not what a casino is supposed to do. Even if you create a utility token, you can't allow any sort of trading on the casino as it isn't an exchange but it is a casino.
1738  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How honest and transparent are casinos? on: April 08, 2023, 05:05:22 AM
Not sure if they are legit or truly giving it away but the problem is that they are gathering players from this style and yes there are almost every gambling site gives this kind of information and luring.
how I wonder that would be the actual reaction of each players that they think being fooled on that way, because for me there are no assurance if this is right and true.
so don't fall into promises instead make sure you are dealing with honest site and not just to lure and run .
Every business uses some marketing technique to attract customers, it can involve bonuses, giveaways, trials, and the list goes on. Now, the customer that joins that business needs to make sure that they get what they were promised before joining, and if they get that, they wouldn't have any issues whether the company or the project is paying others or not.

I think casinos with a good reputation don't really have anything to prove since everyone knows that they do pay the bonuses, etc. that they promise but the platforms that are relatively new in the market are probably questioned for not being honest enough with their customers.

People who buy because Elon did something are people who are not making moves the way whales do. Do you really imagine that there are rich people out there who would buy doge because of this? Obviously there are none, all of these purchases were made by people who are not rich, and by that I mean people who have networth less than a million dollars. Maybe there were a few crazy rich people out there who did, but not a general thing, it was 99% all people with less value than that.

Because no rich person would be silly enough to put their money into something just because of this, the reason is not a good one and that risk is not something they would be willing to take.

I don't see why the best time to buy Bitcoin is when the global economy becomes stable because that will probably cause a lot of buying pressure since more money will pour in and we all know what happens when the demand increases, it's simple, more demand means higher price, so buying at a higher price doesn't really make sense.

And, that is just what usually happens, and I'm not saying that it is guaranteed, but to be honest, there is basically no perfect time to buy Bitcoin or you can't time the market perfectly at all. It's just better if you buy when you can, and hold tight after that.
