Re: much money in the foodball and in general in life is a ruin

I agree with you. Money is making football soulless because when players leave a hard league like La Liga to go to Saudi Arabia just for the money, they won't have the motivation and difficulty of a hard league to keep growing and playing with their souls to be the best.

They take the bag and enjoy luxury while playing more casually. And if this wasn't the case, they would be going to Saudi Arabia even without demanding a $100 million or $200 million anual package. Sad
I disagree with this, firstly who said the Saudi Arabia league is not worth every good player. You might actually think the competition there is not tough but you’re making a mistake and if care is not taken they might still want more competitive players growing their league gradually, you’re seeing this as greediness but I’m viewing the whole situation as normal.
The point is that no one wanted to go to Saudi Arabia unless they offer you millions and millions of dollars.

Would Cristiano Ronald go to Al-Nassr if they didn't offer 4 million euros every week?

Would Benzema go if they didn't offer him 1 million euros every week?

One day Saudi Arabia league could be one of the best in the world and people want to go because of football, but right now people only go because of money.

But let's not forget that these guys have a limit on how they can play with a strong body. They will retire at an early age, and they need all the money they can get to secure their retirement. Imagine not knowing any job and living in luxury, and then suddenly you lose the job that you have? Most people in the entertainment industry will suddenly get poor just after years of retirement.
I think for players that receive less this is true. I googled and saw that Mateo Retegui earned $7,750,549 gross in his professional career and that he makes $3.3 million yearly on Atalanta. That's not a lot because even if he plays for 5 years that's only $ 16 million.

It's different for players like Vinicius Jr that make $20 million every yeark and can retire with luxury a lot easier. At one point you don't need more money so thats why he didn't accept $300 million from the Saudis.

Money is useful, let's be clear, it is useful for everyone but to think that it is the goal to be pursued by overlooking people or honor and loyalty is something squalid
What do you think about football?
Did you think those players that are in European leagues are their for any other reasons than money? No. They are looking for a good career and money and nothing else more than that. If a Saudi Arabian league can buy them at higher price, they may prefer to go to such league. Only success is the reason they are there.
Since they are child, all Brazilian players have the dream to play for the best European teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Inter, etc. Of course they get thriled with the money but like I said in my previous post, this is not the only reason. For the same amount of money offered in the Brazilian league and European, most would prefer to go to a top team in Premier League or La Liga.

This already proves that there is more than money.

But Saudis are going too heavy, it's hard to decide for the good football when they are offering to retire you and your 10 next generations for a few years of playing.

is football not about money? you think the teams the players are playing for are just retaining players just because they like the players or just because the players are talented and young? the central thing about every sport is money and players have recognized that and that is the reason why they are not going after teams that will give them better pay as against staying in just popular teams. it is when you don't have money again that you will know that everything revolves around money.

if football was not about money, no African player will be playing in Europe in the first place, they will stay in their local leagues and develop their league rather than trying out some top global leagues even though it is tougher getting teams that will sign them in those clubs.
Many players choose better teams that pay less. See João Félix which accepted Barcelona even with a way lower sallary that he could get.

It's not 100% just money because some players want to keep growing to be the best players in the world. You can't win a Baloon D'or if you are stuck on a bad league just because they paid you millions.

Re: How can you enjoy the game when you are losing?
by
mikel_012
on 24/07/2025, 03:27:34 UTC
In my case, I lose a lot and win a lot too. I think of my previous win when I lose to make it just breakeven and never bother on my current loss.

The thing on gambling is we will likely lose more than win so we should focus on the positive side and accept what is loses once it’s expected.

You can only have fun on gambling if you focus only your win and forget your losses. I rarely count my total PnL outcome.
The problem is that sometimes people lose way too much, an amount so important to them that they can't forget. Some people gamble with thousands of dollars when they earn 1/5 of that every month. So it's very hard to forget that you lost several months of work.

My first commandment is that I only gamble what I can lose, because odds mean I will probably lose money some time, and I don't want to feel like my life is ruined because of this. Many people think losing is impossible and that lucky is by their side, so risking everything is ok. I'm not fine with that thinking.

I posted about Brazil a few days ago hehe
There is a survey that shows that Brazil is the country with the most betting sites access in the world
And in the volume ranking, we are the 9th country in the world
However, you have to consider that the country's currency is very devalued against the dollar and the euro, which makes quite a difference in the end.

It's very easy in Brazil to come across someone playing the tiger game or making sports bets
I would venture to say that betting is a fever in Brazil

I think 15% is a real percentage
Yes, the currency is very devalued, but news articles say that brazilians spend even R$ 30 billion per month on bets which is $ 5,4 billion per month. A lot of money still and a lot is in slots and games that are very profitable for casinos, so this is very profitable for casino owners.

I don't think Trump will keep the tariffs. He just wants to bully countries to negotiate and say later that he is a strong leader. I think he is sweating now because Lula doesn't want to negotiate and tariffs will make inflation rise on the USA. And if he chickens out other countries will see he is all bluff and no action.

Anyone heard of TACO? Trump Always Chickens Out

Tether has been called a criminal organization for many years. So far nothing has happened, USDT is still at $1 and they keep growing.

They can make so much money investing their backed USD on the Treasury, why wouldn't they have the money? Even if they lost money one day, the hole must have been filled because of the high rates and the billions of USDT that people use every month.

In Brazil there is only online gambling, so all stats are about this. The exception is some offline games in smaller communities like Jogo do Bicho, but the percentage is smaller compared to slots online.

Data says that 23 million brazilians bet on online websites, that is 15% of the population: https://valorinveste.globo.com/educacao-financeira/noticia/2025/04/30/cerca-de-23-milhoes-de-brasileiros-apostam-em-bets-mais-do-que-compram-cdbs-e-bolsa.ghtml

I always wonder how many people click on our signature links
I guess many probably do
sometimes I wonder if the companies do it for the SEO too because bitcointalk is a good and active website that probably pumps their recommendations when there are many hyperlinks to their website

I don't gamble actively so for me its more like a mean of staying active here which is something I really enjoy doing
Even if there are fewer clicks, the brand power grows when they are present on the forum. I doubt you clicked on many signatures, but you probably remember them. Do your remember that Stake advertises here? Or Rollbit? Now you will also remember Yeet as you see more and more their signatures.

All of this makes a difference when you choose a casino or recommend to someone else.

Re: Brasileirão 2025 - Brazilian Championship Serie A

I still think they came out on top in this game against Bahia with this draw. At any other time, I'm sure they would have lost. So this draw is at least a breather. Obviously, they could have been better, and they have been in previous years. But the players are very unmotivated right now.

Look, I just don’t understand how someone who gets paid to play football, gets paid to train, has access to an entire club structure with doctors, physiotherapists, personal trainers, eats the best food, earns excellent salaries, way above any regular working citizen, can still end up feeling unmotivated. I don’t know what’s going on. If I were a football player and had that whole structure and all those people working for me, in my favor, it would be impossible. It’s like that analogy people make about being depressed in Paris. I’ll never understand it
Same can be said about actors that kill themselves even after winning awards, getting millions to shot movies and being stars that are admired everywhere. Or millionaires and billionaires that have everything they can have and still end their lifes. Demotivation is about feeling sad and without energy, sometimes it's hard to get out of that because we are flesh machines.

And you can be unmotivated after losing or not getting what you want in life. Sometimes the players wanted to be something more, to player in Europe and aim for the champions league. It's not that simple to say they get paid to play football so they should be motivated.

Re: BYD - the new Evergrande, but in the automotive market ?

In Brazil BYD is starting to grow very strongly. The only reason why they are not the top 1 right now is that people still don't fully trust eletric cars because hey need to travel between states and Brazil is huge, so recharging can be a pain. As more charging stations are installed, I think we are ready for a huge surprise from BYD.

When comparing a BYD Dolphin Mini which is the Seagul in China, they cost R$ 110k and offer a lot of tech and quality components. For the same price you have a Kwid which is a car of plastic without any extras. Big difference Sad

A few months ago I saw one or two dolphin mini every week, now I see at least 5 per day.

Re: Does the novelty wear off?

Try gambling with a demo account. See if you still have the same novelty or if it wears off after some time just hitting numbers on a screen that don't mean anything. What do you say?

For me it would wear off very rapidly, I think it woul be more fun to give people money to bet so we can see their reactions and maybe change their lifes.

Not only I would do good by helping people, but it would be fun to watch. Just hoping I would not give someone a gambling addction based on free money for them to lose all and more later. Lips sealed

Why do soccer players who are paid high salaries and have a good life know that, regardless of whether they lose a game at the end of the month, the club will pay them a high salary. When they lose a game, they feel sad on the field?
They want fame also, of course. If it was for the money, Vini Jr would be in Saudi Arabia now getting $300 million per year.

They want better teams, awards, their name on the news, a baloon d'or.

Uma pergunta minha: isso é possivel somente porque a unidade de calculo final, ainda permanece o satoshi, correto?, por exemplo uma tx que daria 55.6 sat de fee seria arredondada pra 56, nao precisando de nemhum hardfork ou coisa do tipo?
Até 1 satoshi de taxa seria possível se o node aceitar e se o minerador minerar essa transação. Acho que já teve uma transação dessas por que o minerador estava minerando uma transação própria do grupo. Se a transação tiver 100 bytes ela teria 0.01 satoshi por byte de taxa.

I don't play slots a lot, but I tried a few games on Yeet and I was surprised on the hits I got on Sweet Bonanza at the very first tries. I saw many people talking about this game, the reason why I tried it in the first place.

But I don't understand how to measure or discover the RTP, so it's all based on my limited attempts.

Re: Have you been addicted to gambling in the past.
by
mikel_012
on 21/07/2025, 22:09:13 UTC
I was never addicted to the point of spending days gambling or losing and depositing more. But I already lost a lot of money gambling once and it made me so sick that I already decided to take a few steps back and learn to be more responsible. I never want to feel that feeling again of losing thousands of dollars that takes time to recover with labour.

Now if I lose $100 it's fine and I move on fast, because I treat it like a entertainment cost. I think this is the best way to go Smiley

If someone reading this is addicted, maybe try to limit your accounts so you can't lose more money. Many casinos like Yeet allow you to take time off. Go slow and try to be present in the moment with the idea that this might not be something healthy for you and that what is gone is already gone.
