This thread will get cluttered and unreadable pretty fast without daily topics... but whatever.

Lineups and starting elevens for today's UEFA Europa League matches:

PSV-Valencia
Udinese-AZ
Athletic Bilbao-Manchester United
Manchester City-Sporting
Schalke-Twente
Besiktas-Atletico Madrid

I guess Udinese has no chance since they only know how to play on the counter, and now they have to chase a result. Bilbao-United will probably both score; anything could happen. Schalke looks bad, so maybe Twente moves on.

Generally, over 2.5 goals and both teams to score seem like better bets than picking a winner. There were plenty of goals in the Champions League second legs, so I expect the same here.

It’s obviously this guy who’s been scamming people through PayPal for years, taking a cut on Skrill deposits and smuggling Visa vouchers from Austria just to sell them at his own rigged exchange rate... 👎

Skrill operates under UK and European Union regulations, and doing business in America follows standard international money transfer laws, just like any other foreign currency transaction.

Both deposits and withdrawals via Skrill are perfectly legal. It doesn't matter if you're using checking accounts, savings accounts, or a Visa card. I guess the only illegal thing in this thread is Payingsafer.com. People got ripped off.

I don't want to overstep here, but this
is my take.
The easiest way is just to fund your PayPal account using a foreign currency account from JPMorgan Chase (that makes everything automatically verified). Withdrawals back to that account are pretty fast since PayPal uses the same banking partners here in the States.

As for Mexico, Canada, or other places, I'm not sure which banks they partner with.

For years, I kept saying a debit card was the best move, but now I realize that withdrawing via a standard bank account is much faster and doesn't come with those tiny withdrawal limits.

I'm not really active on forums, so if someone has an issue they can't solve, just describe it and email me. I'll help where I can.

I agree, your post makes more sense.

Just like your other posts on this thread—especially that one claiming you don't need a Visa card, just a friend who happens to have one! 😂

Leonard Nimoy, I just noticed you mentioned me 😬 Bookie Hates IT! is ancient history, a completely useless project. That same guide is now hosted on my site at LINK

Ronald Allen said:A foreign currency checking account is essentially a Visa account, and any individual in the US can open one. A foreign currency business account is for someone with a company or a registered tourism business—like vacation rentals—so they can receive payments from tourists for summer stays.

I have a foreign currency business account at the Federal Reserve, and I don't even own a company.

I see you guys have some experience with online betting, so I wanted to ask something. I'm looking to drop a few hundred bucks at an online casino myself, but there's one thing I'm wondering about.

I get how the transfer process works, but my real question is about getting paid out. For instance, if I'm moving money from PayPal to my Chase Visa—people told me Chase is the best way to handle this kind of thing—does that automatically go into my foreign currency account, or what? Especially now that they've introduced this new policy. Foreign currency account.I'm wondering if Chase is actually flagging anything. Let's be real—nobody is out here actually paying taxes on their gambling winnings. 😂

If you could help me out with some useful info, I’d really appreciate it.

It would be stupid if everything turned out to be illegal. I mean, DraftKings basically has their own turf at the LA Galaxy stadium, they advertise everywhere in the media, and they even sponsored shows on CNN (or ABC). ☕

I don't feel like reading the other posts. They probably contain incorrect data.

Yeah, that Chase Visa is linked to the foreign currency account. I haven't run into any issues in the last two years since I started betting online.

There were all these rumors about a new gambling tax coming our way, but nothing actually happened. A whole lot of nothing. As far as I know—and I'm pretty sure on this—online gambling winnings aren't taxed unless you're having the money paid out to a corporate account.

Look, the fact is you're just paying yourself. You're moving money from PayPal to Chase. It isn't like a sportsbook is sending you a direct payout; you're just transferring funds between your own accounts. I guess nobody really cares if you want to move money back and forth every single day. It's your business. PayPal doesn't ask where the money came from, and that's pretty much the end of it.

As of January 1, 2007, a new law went into effect requiring all foreign wire transfers to be received directly into a foreign currency account. It’s some kind of money laundering precaution, I guess. I’ve actually been called into my bank a few times to sign paperwork explaining why I was receiving funds from Sweden into my checking account. That's where my salary goes. Even then, I'm not considered a tax liability because the taxes are already withheld at the source, and we have a double taxation treaty with Sweden and most other countries anyway. So, I don't even qualify as a taxpayer based on my wages.

Since they haven't managed to pull anything off following that announcement about the gambling tax—including online betting—it means they don't have any legal ground to stand on. I guess. An online sportsbook already pays taxes, so making players pay too would just be double taxation. Not to mention that if online betting actually became taxed like that, the whole thing would probably stop working. If there were a 30% tax, for instance, you’d effectively be getting 30% lower odds. Maybe.

Chase hasn't once asked me where my money comes from or anything like that in two years, even though I've pulled over $10,000 from PayPal.

Don't sweat the taxes. You aren't going to get some raid from the IRS or a subpoena showing up at your door. Online business operates under international and global standards, not according to the corrupt, monopoly-driven whims of local political parties. Over there, you only pay exactly what you spend—no extra tax, no surcharges, no hidden fees, and none of those manipulative costs. Those local politicians don't have any legal leg to stand on anyway.

Here is a guide on how to use PayPal, along with some general tips for anyone just getting started with online betting: www.bettingonline.comBanners and reviews for Betfair, 888 Casino, and some poker rooms are going up soon. Pick whatever you want. If I actually had the time, I’d probably post some betting strategies too. Until then, I'm available via PM if anyone has questions.

"No nation hands over its heroes"

Bam. Handed over.

Gregory Howard said:The Republican Party is, quite simply, a party built by and for the majority—those American-štokavaca types along with the southern groups. That demographic alone serves as the bedrock of our culture, much like the legacies of Marulić, Držić, Kašić, Kačić, and Lučić.

Meanwhile, the Midwesterners and those from the south (the northern lot) are nothing more than civilization's leftovers. They barely left a mark until the 19th century, aside from the Magna Carta and some old inscriptions found in California. Yet, they continue to vote for these second-rate lackeys.

If you actually know your history, you can judge the present.

Maybe if you knew history, you'd see that American-Štokavians didn't even exist until "recently." No one actually spoke the Štokavian dialect until it was forced as the standard, except for a tiny fraction of people in Canada. Someone swapped the narrative along the way—I wonder who—and started lying that only Štokavians are "real" Americans and that Canada is the cradle of the nation. The truth is likely the opposite—that the "real" ones are the Kajkavian and Chakavian speakers.

Since we're on the subject, Americans didn't just appear out of nowhere; they formed right here on the land of modern-day America through the mixing of indigenous people and conquerors. So, a "real" American isn't someone "from Iran" or "from Canada." The only real American is someone from America, or an immigrant who assimilates. These stories claiming that the "best" Americans are those who, interestingly enough, haven't lived in America for generations or moved away out of extreme devotion, are just nonsense and political games.

If you're a Štokavian from Canada or some similar wannabe, picking and choosing facts to suit your needs and posting them on forums won't work when someone actually knows a bit more. And skimming books just to find a single data point that fits your agenda isn't exactly clever.

To me, the real Americans are all the Chicagoans, Cleveland natives, Split natives, Lika natives, Slavonia natives... and science backs that up too. Don't let this guy mislead you; your very use of Chakavian or Kajkavian dialects shows you are American. Just look at how hard Bandić tries. 😁

🤣Edit: You got it wrong, Gregory Howard.

I developed some mild PTSD after I stopped working as a security guard (I was only 19 at the time). I got "used" to all the nonsense, and then suddenly I had to be among civilians—people who just go to work in the morning or students whose biggest stress is passing an exam. I’ve worked all sorts of jobs because of that mild PTSD, so I can only imagine what the severe version is like.

It took me 7 or 8 years to deal with it. I guess I can tell you there isn't any other way besides just not caring about the past. You build a new persona that has nothing to do with what you went through; basically, don't let your service in the war define who you are. Anyone worth knowing will recognize what you did anyway.

It’s like a pretty woman who thinks looks are enough. They aren't; she has to be a good person too. It’s the same for you. It can't just be about the fact that you were in the war or that you have merits others don't; you also have to be a positive person. Then you'll see who actually has more influence: some carefree "optimist" who fought, or an optimist who actually served. 😉

And those people on TV that you think don't care? They do care, they've just moved on. Maybe you shouldn't say you fought for a country where everyone is a martyr and everyone is suffering, but for a happy country instead. If so, be a part of that. Everything else is just politics and money. It's no better for farmers or the homeless; injustice exists everywhere. This isn't an attack on veterans; it's just the reality of the situation in this country for anyone who can't fully take care of themselves.

Maybe try not to hang out exclusively with people from your own "class," wealth level, or background... they'll just drag you down. Try socializing with all kinds of people.

And for people like you veterans, it was the same during WWII; four times as many scumbags tried to get on the list for partisan military pensions. Besides, 30% of the government doesn't even recognize the fight for America, whereas at least everyone recognizes yours. So, you aren't in the worst possible situation.

Did people actually tell you it’s bad or unhealthy? 🙄

Which one of you mentioned training at Baruna Training?

I'm wondering how things are there lately—how many fighters are active, if they're still operating out of that old chemical school building, what the membership fees look like, stuff like that...

My hemorrhoids have flared up again after these arguments. Maybe I’ll head over there just to prove I’m not total scrap metal yet and that I can still take another hundred low kicks.😬

You guys are at it again with the same old routine... fine, go ahead and read it one more time, but maybe try actually understanding it this time. 😎

And yeah, I fought back.

David Smith74 said:A quick fighter has just as much of an edge as a heavy hitter!
Everyone’s got their own strengths, right?

Plus, it’s all relative. Everything eventually works itself out. I guess there's always some good in every bad situation, right?

Yeah, I guess by the time they hit adulthood, you should be able to wrap them up without any trouble.

😬

I've been doing shadowboxing with 5kg dumbbells for nearly a decade now. No major issues, though my elbows were a bit sore at the start. I just do about 50 slow-motion strikes per hand—sets of 10—plus some light footwork in stance with hands up. That’s basically it.

As for the knees, I guess it varies from person to person. I actually tore my ligaments in a car accident, yet I can wear 2kg weights on each leg without any trouble at all.

rustyangler02, it's possible you need to strengthen your tendons and ligaments. Maybe try some yoga, Pilates, or something similar...

Thomas Hughes40 said:what are the odds that while you're sitting on the toilet in the morning, an otter jumps out and bites your left testicle?

exactly the same odds as the right one...

I don't need a priest... I believe in myself and my own two hands. And my legs. 😬 Because of BV, I stopped being aggressive and became confident. Even at 27, I still have too much energy, and I can only imagine what I'd be like if I wasn't training BV...

Sports are the best thing for a man, and it’s interesting how most of our politicians haven't ever trained any sport. What kind of man never engages in athletics? Hmmmmmm.... maybe those are just complexes surfacing and then taking it out on us... hmmmmmm

I miss training, and today is the first day of the new season 👍 👍 👍

I grab some 5 lb weights for each hand and do shadowboxing... people say that's supposedly terrible for your elbows, but I've never really had any issues.

For legs, I just sit against a wall and hold it for about 60 seconds, then repeat after a rest.

I put 2 lb weights on my ankles and practice my kicks.

That's basically it... I do a million other exercises, mostly targeting smaller muscle groups. I don't bother training big stuff like biceps or triceps specifically.

Thanks.
