Anyone here who retired with Gambling winnings ?  If not, how much you think is sufficient to retire as Gambling winning ?
Unfortunately I think it's never enough for most people. If you are able to make money, or you think you're able to do it at least, why would you stop? You will always find people richer than you, you will always want things you can't afford. So I think most successful gamblers never stop until they make a mistake, be scammed/stolen or get an endless unlucky bad streak.

Les armateurs francais changent leurs itineraires et passent désormais par le cap de Bonne Esperance pour ne plus utiliser le canal de Suez. Encore une jolie inflation en perspective dans les mois à venir, sans parler d'éventuelles pénuries. Et si ca fait comme pour l'Ukraine, ca ne se résoudra pas du jour au lendemain.

Il n'a vraiment pas l'air tres optimiste, c'est semble-t-il une vidéo où il tient des propos qui peuvent être considérés comme antisémites qui pose problème aux magistrats d'après lui, et non les vidéos où il développe seulement ses thèses révisionnistes. Si il dit vrai, c'est triste si il perd à cause de ce faux pas, car on voit mal où il va pouvoir aller ensuite si il est extradé. Aux USA, il n'aurait pas grand chose à craindre mais on les voit mal lui accorder un visa. Ca ressemble fort à un game over pour lui, à moins qu'il soit prêt à s'exiler en Iran, peut-être.

I think that everyone (or at least majority) is aware of the fact that instead of her was a white actress dealing about some other non sensitive stuff, she would never get a leading actress nomination. Sure, we can talk about support category, but she simply doesn't have enough screen time to be considered as a leading role.

They are obviously aware of that in UK, therefore they didn't nominate her for BAFTAhtt while in the Hollywood they still feel guilty over what they did to native americans (and minorities in general) in the past and trying to feel better about themselves this way.
I don't know man, the topic is opened since september and you're the first one, since only 2days, saying she shouldn't be nominated in this category, and I haven't heard of such controversy anywhere else. She is nominated for the best Female Actor in a Leading Role by the Actors Guild for the SAG awards, she won a Golden Globes in a leading role category without any controversy  and bookmakers still seem to think she will get nominated for the Best actress Oscar.

1.analyze team statistics: This is something we all know but shouldn't be overlooked,..ensure you check the teams recent
Performance, and their defensive records. When two defensive teams play against each other the probability of a draw is always 85 percent
2.play it safe:. Betting on a draw can be a bit riskier, so it's best to stake a small amount or pick the draw no bet option which gives you
a refund.
3look for evenly matched teams: matches between teams with similar skill level or playing styles can increase
The chances of a draw, pay attention to teams that have a history of drawing against each other
N/B: anything can still happen
4.weather conditions : I need your opinions on this point cause I'm not 100 percent sure of it but this is from some of my observation
Do you think weather conditions affect gameplay and increase the likelihood of a draw?
5.Bet on specific leagues: some leagues are known for having a higher occurrence of draws . leagues like Montenegro, Romania, Morocco botola pro, Spain segunda, Iran pro league and few others.

I hope this will help someone
Remember to gamble responsible
Thanks for reading
I don't understand the point of betting on a Draw No Bet or Asian Handicap bet equivalent if you think the match will end in a draw. You will just get a refund if your main choice win, and you will have to bet on a team that you don't think will win to be able to get some winnings. If you think the winning outcome will be a draw, you should bet on draw or take a Double Chance bet at least. You can lower your stake if you think it's more risky than betting on one team and if you think you will likely lose more bets before winning one, in order to protect your bankroll. But taking draw no bets for such strategy is useless.

The market situation may change a lot in the remaining 4 days. If bears keep dumping the BTC price, the number of users who are placing bets on the range of $37.5k to $40k may become much higher than it is now. Personally, I will probably risk and place a small bet on this range on the last day if the bulls don't come back to the market by then (this is not advice).
I don't know the pools seem unusually low for the cryptocurrencies bets : only 20mbtc for Bitcoin, 6mbtc for FUN and just 2mbtc for ETH currently, so I wonder if people will bet much this month and when they will do it because only 4 days remain now, the bets will close tuesday. But on the other hand few guys can upside-down the odds with only a rather small amount of money if they place bets of several mbtc.
427  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: cashout or wait till the end? on: January 18, 2024, 10:57:37 PM

How would you feel if you had the opportunity to cashout this amount, and later loose all?

most times people always find it difficult to cashout their fund when they have the opportunity,  due to having that mindset that they want to go home with the Goody bag. by so doing Sometimes the game will end without them winning a dime. but loosing all to nothing. while some will cashout, and later the game will end well and they will start regretting why dey didn't wait to the final.
now my question this,

cashing out or waiting till the end of game which is more better?
You dont say in which currency it is unfortunately, but usually it's not a good idea to cash out as bookmakers offer payout way lower than what they worth actually. It's a good opportunity to make money for them as cashout payout can't be tracked by comparators. And I wouldn't be suprised if bookies personalize cashout offers according to the profile of each customer.

In other news, BAFTA nominations are out. Oppenheimer is the leader with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things that got 11 and Killers of the Flower Moon with 9. What's inteersting though is that Lily Gladstone didn't get nominated in Best Actress/Best Supporting Actress category.  Grin

Full list https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-68016520
Yes and a very interesting thing is that Sandra Hüller is nominated in both catogeries(leading actress and supporting one).
Bbc.reporter also didn't report it but Emma Stone won the Best actress award of the Critics Choice Awards while Lily Gladstone and Hüller were nominated in this category, so nothing is done for now!

Quote from: Rikafip
I just finished watching Killers of the flower moon and I have to say that I don't understand all the hype around it. It was way too long, it didn't make me care about any character in the movie and worst of all, I don't understand how in hell is Lily Gladstone favorite for Best Actress Oscar. Thinking of it, I don't even understand why should she be nominated in that category as it makes more sense that she gest nominated in Best Supporting Actress category.
~~
I just don't understand how can she even be considered in the "Best Actress in a Leading Role" category. Imho she doesn't have enough significance or screen time in the film and if anything, she should be nominated in Best Supporting Actress. If she indeed wins it, it will be the one of the least deserving wins (in that category) in the last 15-20 years.
~~
Haha I bet that you wouldn't mind. She is my personal favorite but I woulnd't mind Emma Stone winning either. As a matter of fact, anyone will do as long as its not Lily Gladstone.
I will just quote what you said in November because I agree with you, your personal taste is completely irrelevant here. Tongue
For example I think the exact opposite of you, I think it would be well deserved for the movie and for herself as well as the (two) standing ovation she got from the audience at the Golden Globes.

All that is completely irrelevant when it comes to personal opinion about a movie. Everything Everywhere All At Once won 7 Oscars last year while I coulnd't even finsih the movie and I probably won't give it another try.

Sauf que ce n'est pas fini, Blackrock continue tranquillement son marché, et il a maintenant accumulé pour son ETF plus d'un milliard de dollars de BTC (25000+ BTC), je veux bien que ca soit des achats OTC, mais sur un marché comme Bitcoin je vois mal comment un milliard d'achat en quelques jours peut ne pas avoir d'impact sur le marché.

Une semaine apres l'approbation des ETF les 40k tiennent toujours le coup et on reste au-dessus de 42k. La perspective qu'un gros dip semble s'éloigner. D'après cet article un debut de sell-off aurait néanmoins bel et bien eu lieu, mais il aurait été absorbé par un stockpiling des baleines, Blackrock achetant plus de 11500 BTC à lui tout seul, c'est-à-dire près d'un demi-milliard de dollars de BTC.

431  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Is Stake playing fair? What about others? Where is the line of trust here? on: January 17, 2024, 10:55:06 PM
This video doesn't prove that Stake is a scam. That video is cut from Evolution Gaming's livestream and the dealer is not a cheater also. I was working there and can guarantee that everything is 100% fair. In the video you see that dealer had a hard time scanning the card. He was dealing cards quickly and he immediately didn't notice that the scanner didn't scan them and he accidentally dealt two cards. Then he called the service manager and the service manager told him to scan both cards. Then this dealer made a mistake and put cards wrongly. Believe me, absolutely every player would get a refund for that mistake and the dealer would get a violation for making that mistake. It doesn't stay unpunished. Also, keep in mind that Evolution works 24/7 and sometimes dealers have a hard time keeping awake and alive during night shifts.
Are you sure he called his management at least? For me he first didn't notice the 10 card hasn't been scanned, so he retried to scann again the last one (the 3) and after that he realized the previous card hasn't been scanned too. But instead of calling a manager in order to cancel the wrong scan and to throw the 3 out of the game or to cancel the round, he just exchanged the cards for unknown reasons while giving an edge to the house with a 20 instead of a 13.

On a énormément vus les généraux français dans les médias mettre la raclée aux collabos dans ton genre, mais c'est allé plus loin.
L'armée française a très justement refusé de participer à l'opération au Yémen:
https://lemediaen442.fr/historique-letat-major-militaire-francais-refuse-de-couvrir-le-massacre-a-gaza-par-israel-en-participant-a-une-operation-au-yemen/
Et c'est une excellente chose pour la France. L'espoir pourrait venir de là. Il nous faudrait un nouveau De Gaulle pour chasser tous les vendus à "Israël".
Il est sûr de ça Meyssan ? Quelles sont ses sources? Si une telle chose s'était produite on en aurait largement entendu parlé je pense. L'opposition n'aurait pas manqué de pointer du doigt l'inanité du gouvernement je pense. Pour moi c'est plus une position stratégique de la France qui veut éviter de rentrer dans un conflit armé à quelques mois des JO.

Hi Saint,

Yes it's SHA256. They just sent me the script through codepen. It is still not officially mentioned anywhere on the website and all the other games are still unverifiable and i haven't got scripts for any of the other games. I was also able to find a bug with Orbital's cyberdice with their server seed and got $150 reward for reporting it (Was hoping it to be a bit more to be honest), once i tried to withdraw it they wouldn't let me do it without going through KYC even though I asked tokash to make an exception because all i was doing was helping them fix a bug and not even gambling on their website. I was denied that and I decided not to go through the whole KYC process for $150. I was definitely Disappointed.
To be honest I don't play much there, because I've also been disappointed with their bonuses/promotions and their support unfortunately, the withdrawal threshold (while charging withdrawing fees) which has been even higher than currently IIRC is also not very welcoming. So I'm not surprising by what you are saying. Anyway thanks for this information about the SHA256 hash function, people will at least be able to check if the previous server seed matches with the hash seed given, even if I don't think they will add a checking method not anytime soon, sadly.

I was scrolling on my social media feeds one day until a very close friend of mine showed me a meme vid. We usually send memes to each other as our little way of communicating which I think some of you guys will get, but this one not only cracked me up, it also kind of opened my eyes at how fucked up Brick-and-Mortar Casino Enjoyers could be if they tried.

GIRL SITS AT CASINO SLOT MACHINE CHAIR TO PEE

Watching this "meme vid" or whatever made me curious enough to dig into this little rabbit hole where I see casino gamblers, particularly those who play slot, go bonkers and I mean like literal mental while playing slots. I mean most of them are depicted to even claw at the screen as if it's going to do anything.

I gotta say man, I know gambling for some people is bad but when they say it's bad I didn't think it'd be this worse lol. Oh well, all the more reasons to avoid the land-casinos I guess.
It reminds me this topic from macson with the famous video already mentioned above of the guy shitting next to a slot machine lol https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5334684
Gambling games make people crazy because it deals with money especially their own, and to a reach a jackpot or a special stage/bonus at slots you need to spend hours on it usually. It's not clear if the flowing liquid comes from her bag or if she's discreetly peeing thanks to her dress yet but I guess it should happen sometimes into very large casinos of Vegas or Macao.
435  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Sweeping paper wallet on: January 14, 2024, 06:56:56 PM
You are right bro, I mean private keys of single addresses indeed. I agree with you it's a bad practice and it could be confusing for many people if they don't understand how it works. But on this wallet you can't import single adresses to existing wallets, you need to create a new one, so people are less likely to be confused and to think their wallet is backed by a seed. It's better to send/sweep funds to a HD wallet than to import addresses but when fees are high or when you have only a paper wallet like OP, you have no other choice sadly.
436  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How to manage gambling winnings on: January 14, 2024, 06:31:57 PM
that is the statement that i don't agree with. using crypto sites especially the top reputable and legit ones, won't steal your money for nothing. just look at the top casinos and bookies found in the forum. do they have existing large withdrawal issues? nope. but if you are violating some of their terms, definitely, they will get a hold of your account and maybe freeze your bankroll for the moment. but once you clear things out, they would surely release your funds.
You don't know what you are talking about IMO, why they are based in offshore locations and don't try to register in legit regulated countries instead? If they were operating from countries with good consumer protections, they couldn't lock accounts from their customers without giving any evidence of real cheat like what they're mostly doing, otherwise they would be quickly sanctioned by authorities. In my country fiat regulated bookies, couldn't do one tenth from what I read here without being closed and their owners put in jail. Those so-called terms violations are BS 99% times, and it's the scheme massively used by 1xbit for stealing player's funds btw. It's not the same thing with crypto casino-only platforms though, except scammy ones, they are usually fair and honest since it's not possible for players to beat the house for long unlike bookies.

"Gambling is relaxing"... Yes, of course, it's relaxing when you win and even when you don't lose too much for many people. But when you get big losses, it's very stressful and depressing, you feel unsuccessful, unlucky and unable to manage your bankroll and your game plan efficiently. It's very hard, but it happens to almost all gamblers since undergoing some long losing streak is unavoidable unfortunately.
438  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: FortuneJack Provably fair games are NOT FAIR on: January 14, 2024, 04:57:44 PM
Hi,

FJ has provided me with script to verify the "Cyberdice game" which seems to be accurate and provably fair, however there are many other provably fair games on their website that i have still not been provided with scripts to verify any of their fairness. Also all these scripts should be included on the website otherwise players wont be able to verify. For Now the only game out of all provably fair ones that i was able to verify was the cyberdice.
Thank you for the update bro, but is the script available online and they've sent you a link towards it or did they just sent you the script through email? It's surprising to be so unprofessional, why don't they include the script or a link towards it in the game? When we go to the settings of the game there is a "Provably Fair" section but it only shows the client seed, the server seed hash, the nonce and the previous server seed. Could you confirm the hash function for the server seed hash is SHA256 like most provably fair games, btw?
439  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: FortuneJack Provably fair games are NOT FAIR on: January 13, 2024, 10:59:16 PM
OP has just open an account here in December to report this case but he hasn't posted anything since christmas, so I guess he has just moved on and he's now playing at other games on another casino, sadly.  Undecided
I think other users could check it since FortuneJack is one of the oldest crypto casino(online since 2014) so many crypto gamblers have an account there, but personally I didn't find such script or algorithm anywhere. There is an (brief) overall explanation of what is Provably fair gaming but without any details. They don't even tell which type of hash function they are using to get the server seed hash, so we can't even check by ourselves if the server seed revealed is really the previous hashed one. And since we don't know the algorithm used to get the outcome from those seeds and the nonce, we can't check anything.

You should give examples because I don't think they look at that, it would be too easy for bonuses, promotions and contests abusers. They would just need to find some reputed affiliates to be able to open several accounts and to play with them in order to profit ftom bonuses, promotions and some tournaments prizes with their multi accounts.
