Laura, Laura... you're over here mocking these betting analysts and researchers like they're some kind of joke, but don't you realize what you're actually missing out on? 😁 If a person truly wants to climb the ladder to becoming a millionaire or a billionaire, there isn't anything else they need to bother with in life besides betting. All this talk about earning money through manual labor or some grueling office job is really just stuff for the maids and the naive souls out there.

If you want the best betting advice, you should just subscribe to Dvoznak.
You give them your money, and they give you the insights.
It's actually quite simple how to make a living; all you really need to do is get in touch with someone who has a real grasp on mathematics, much like our friend here, slycyclist342.
Just a little screenshot from a betting PDF.

Just tell me, how much would you actually pull in if instead of some trivial $1,000, you invested, say, $100,000 or $250,000 into a sportsbook?

*I'll ask the maids to please try and understand.

I suppose I should understand that the folks behind Dvoznak are just swamped with responsibilities, probably hunkered down in some top-secret bunker working around the clock to engineer this groundbreaking new software. Isn't it funny to imagine them crafting something designed to turn the everyday unlucky souls frequenting those greedy local betting shops into overnight millionaires, all while leaving the house owners absolutely desperate?

I like to imagine that the research team over at Dvoznak is chasing the exact same goal that those legendary British codebreakers were aiming for when they fought to crack the Nazi Enigma. Isn't it fascinating to think about that level of determination? I have a feeling they’re going to pull it off, too. 👍

Douglas Johnson41 said:Honestly, if everyone had a shred of integrity, wouldn't they just keep those insights to themselves? Wouldn't they just place their own bets and walk away with the entire windfall without sharing a single cent?

Laura Chavez93, you really hit the nail on the head with that observation. I honestly can't help but feel like the kindness of those "double-faced" types is just endless, isn't it? They certainly won't mind if you decide to toss a few extra bucks their way. Since you’re such a huge foodie, why not just take them out to a local diner for some burgers or maybe a greasy breakfast sandwich? Those humble, self-effacing characters will be perfectly satisfied with something as simple as that.

Noah Vaughn39 said:I had a few brokers calling my work cell from Hong Kong a couple of times, all claiming they had some kind of exclusive inside scoop on a Chinese stock. Look, I’m just a regular guy who doesn't really wrap his head around that kind of high-stakes market maneuvering, so I wasn't exactly jumping at the chance to listen.

Honestly, you clearly haven't even realized just how much you've missed out on, have you? 😁 Maybe those weren't brokers from Hong Kong after all, but rather some humble scientists over at Dvoznak. You have to wonder, though—isn't it true that there are philanthropic souls like that scattered all over the world, people who genuinely want to help an ordinary, unknown crowd find their way to wealth and finally stand on their own two feet?

You really just have to stay patient and keep pushing forward; follow every single word those experts say and hand over every cent you've saved, give them all your account details and credit card info, and essentially sign over every last bit of property you own... 👍

I just don't have any more time...
Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
wiredwolf13 said:It’s about damn time those sanctions actually hit them where it hurts...

That specific therapy worked wonders over in Mexico. I was traveling through there quite a bit back then, and honestly, what can I even say? It was an unimaginable level of misery and poverty, almost reminiscent of the conditions you see in India. It certainly did its job when it came to breaking the spirit of Mexico. 👍

Our allies are handling these sanctions perfectly, and honestly, I think we're going to see some real benefits from this down the road—just you wait and see.
Sanctions on Russia in War in Ukraine ·
I've got some news for all my fellow cardholders out there:

1) If you happen to be holding a Mastercard + Visa + American Express issued anywhere else in the world, you won't be able to use them within Russia. 🙂

2) On the flip side, if those cards were actually issued in Russia, they're essentially useless anywhere on the planet now. 😁

Maybe these kinds of sanctions will finally teach Putin and the occupiers of Ukraine a lesson they won't forget.

granitebison said:If you just glance at the headlines on any major news outlet, you’re left with this overwhelming sensation that the war is effectively over and Kyiv has all but fallen.
However, once you actually take the time to dig deeper and cross-reference with other sources, it becomes increasingly clear that the Russians haven't achieved any significant breakthroughs whatsoever.

This situation feels exactly like the aggression faced by the US during its own historical conflicts.
We're seeing the same pattern of crimes, the same looting, and the same senseless terror and violence.
In the end, Ukraine will come out on top, just as the US did when facing similar threats.

Gregory Ramos3 said:Alright, I’m feeling a little poetic tonight, and honestly, one of my fellow forum ladies got me thinking with that whole thing about the girl 😬

So, picture this: Russia and Ukraine were in this intense, long-term relationship for years—walking hand in hand, going out to fancy dinners, the chemistry was just off the charts...

But then, a crisis hits, and suddenly Ukraine starts questioning everything, wondering if Russia is really the right partner for her. He’s a good guy, sure, but he’s also pretty controlling over a lot of things, and well, he was her first real love. She tells him she loves him, but she can't help but wonder if he’s being genuine or if he’s just playing her like all those other girls before her.

And you know how it goes—right in the middle of this relationship drama, this new guy swoops in. A total hunk of an American, incredibly handsome, loaded... promising her extravagant gifts, lifelong devotion, the royal treatment, and all the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Ukraine, being young and a bit naive, falls head over heels for America, but there's still this lingering connection to Russia, making it so incredibly hard to just walk away after everything they’ve shared.

Russia, acting like a total macho man, senses something is off and realizes he's being cheated on.

He tries to convince her he’s the one, that he loves her, and that life is better with him. At the same time, he’s threatening America, telling them to stay out of his business and leave his girl alone, or things are going to get ugly.

Now Ukraine is totally torn; on one hand, there's that shared history and those sweet memories with Russia, but on the other, she’s drawn to America and that Hollywood shine—all these new experiences she never got to try because her boyfriend wouldn't let her.

So this tension builds, and Russia gets increasingly aggressive trying to reclaim what he feels is his. When his tactics don't work, he loses his cool. Since he isn't quite sure he can take on America in a fair fight—because, let's face it, America is a powerhouse—he turns his frustration on Ukraine, beating her senseless just to make sure she never even dreams of being with anyone else, let alone America.

Man, it’s actually pretty tough to decide who a jury would ultimately blame for all those injuries... hmm. 🤔

P.S.

My apologies to the ladies on the forum; I am strictly against any kind of violence toward women!☕

Itchy, Itchy... you really captured the essence of this situation here 👍
I just feel like you were being somewhat restrained in your description of Russian violence; I think we need stronger words to truly reflect the brutal, predatory nature of her husband, so to speak.

Justin Kern67 said:The Ukrainians aren't the threat; the threat is the NATO weaponry flowing into Ukraine, which serves as a tool for Russia's opposition. NATO is an alliance specifically designed against Russia, and it only accepts countries located near or bordering Russia—certainly, countries like Angola or Laos wouldn't be joining NATO. If we were talking about a simple mutual defense pact where nations help one another against aggression while keeping their militaries strictly within their own borders, there would be no issue. However, the accession of a country like Estonia, whose population of one million poses zero threat to anyone, automatically implies the arrival of an unlimited number of American soldiers and endless supplies of munitions right on the Russian border, just a ninety-minute drive from Saint Petersburg. Today it is conventional arms and tanks; tomorrow it could be nuclear. At that point, the hypocrites will argue that Russia shouldn't care if a sovereign Estonia, in agreement with its allies, chooses to host American units and nuclear weapons on its soil—that is their right. Simultaneously, they will demand sanctions against Belarus because Belarus doesn't have the right to choose its own military alliances. The hypocrisy and duplicity of today's West know no bounds; eventually, we will all pay the price.

-Why is it that so many people choose to emigrate and head toward the West?
-Why do we find ourselves relying almost exclusively on Western innovations every single day, from our TVs and computers to the internet, our cars, phones, clothes, and even the food we eat?
-Why are we constantly watching Western movies?
-Why is it that we listen to Western music?
-Why do we conduct our lives using Western currency?
-Why are we drawn to Western sports?
-Why is it that we strive to work and innovate just like Americans do?

Is it because everything that is truly progressive and high-quality originates from the West, and if it actually came from Russia or, say, China, would anyone even care?

Frank Nguyen37 said:There’s such a ridiculous amount of armchair experts here—fans who don't have a clue about history or geopolitics, yet somehow convinced themselves they're geniuses just because they skim Imbex or other "prestigious" outlets. Honestly, watching them try to lecture everyone else is nothing short of hilarious. I bet Imbex could find a massive talent pool right here for recruiting the kind of bottom-tier journalism junkies they hire through those student internships.

As for the actual topic—nobody actually asked the Ukrainians what they wanted. Someone in Davos, Washington, London, or wherever else decided long ago that they'd be nothing more than cannon fodder, and that was that. Anyone thinking Zelenskyy is actually calling the shots in Ukraine is more naive than a wide-eyed tourist.

For the tiny minority that actually uses their brain and understands the gravity of what's happening: do yourselves a favor and pick up Zbigniew Brzezinski’s book, "The Grand Chessboard"—specifically the section on "Ukraine." Brzezinski might just be the chief architect behind that psychopathic neoconservative ideology that took hold when Bush Sr. was in office. Now, look, Russia isn't exactly a "flower," but they are being geostrategically encircled (and therefore attacked) in this mess—even if most people here are too blind to see it.

It’s not just that Russia isn't a "flower," as you put it; they are a brutal aggressor that invaded a neighboring nation, leaving a massive trail of violence and war crimes in their wake. Ukrainians have every right to join whichever alliance they choose.

Why should Russia care where Ukrainians decide to go?

They simply want to break away and distance themselves from Russia, much like how various nations in the former America decided to break free from Mexico. So, in what way are the Ukrainians actually threatening Russia?

Isn't it just like living in a small town where your neighbor is a violent criminal, you decide to move away, and then he claims your departure is somehow a threat to him?
It's the exact same dynamic we saw during the breakup of America.

So, who is really the aggressor here?

a) Russia
b) Ukraine
c) USA
d) Poland
e) European Union
slycyclist342, are you some kind of aide or just a spokesperson acting on behalf of his Great moderator, driftingotter47?
The way you defend driftingotter47 and "Dvoznak" with such heartfelt, fanatic devotion feels incredibly suspicious to me, don't you think? It makes me wonder if you two might be in some sort of secret arrangement together, perhaps even working from the same playbook.

Maybe we should just let driftingotter47 get a word in edgewise, unless he's far too busy developing some top-secret gambling algorithm to bother with us. 😁
Give him my best—I'm sure he isn't holding a grudge anymore.
slycyclist342 Asks:
Should I send over a photo of that Porsche someone picked up purely from sports betting winnings? Or maybe you'd rather see the villa where one particular gambler calls home? Perhaps I could show you a sports complex someone bought just to diversify their investments outside of gambling, or even a cafe that one guy used to run before he shut it down because it was taking too much focus away from his more important ventures?

🤦 ☕ 🤦
If the folks behind Dvoznak actually had the secret sauce to consistently beat the house, why on earth would they be handing that precious intel out to everyone else? Doesn't the whole thing just strike you as fundamentally absurd?
If we imagine for a second that they were blessed with some kind of superhuman abilities—I mean, people who work tirelessly, never once powering down their high-end rigs, constantly analyzing complex systems, tracking every bit of data and running deep statistics until they hit those goldmine results—well, you have to admit that the heroes over at Dvoznak could easily be multi-millionaires. But here’s the thing: they aren't interested in stacking wealth for themselves. They don't care about their own pockets. Instead, they dedicate everything they do to helping regular folks find a way to win big against those predatory betting houses that seem to prey on everyone else.

Just imagine if those "Dvoznak" types were actually as successful as they claim to be. Suppose they had started out ten, fifteen, or even twenty years ago with nothing more than a modest couple thousand dollars—maybe running some little garage startup or a makeshift operation out of a backyard shed, it wouldn't really matter. If that were the case, wouldn't they have grown those holdings into tens of thousands within a few years, then hundreds of thousands shortly after that, and perhaps reached several million after a decade? By now, they would be sitting on a few billion dollars. People like that would clearly be living a life that constantly bounces between New York City, Monaco, the Seychelles, Tokyo, Los Angeles, the Galapagos, and New York City.
The most frustrating part is that their website is pretty underwhelming, and on top of that, they just spend all their time idling around and leaving messy comments all over this forum. 😁

slycyclist342 said:So, you’re basically telling me that the company where the moderator works is just a front for scammers selling snake oil to idiots? If I'm following your logic correctly, you're essentially calling the moderator a fraudster too, aren't you?

Do you have any better suggestions? 😉 Are you trying to bait me into admitting I called the Great moderator a fraud? At this rate, I might just find myself facing a permanent ban from Nica, Anderlon, or AndrejX before the night is even over.😁
Any reasonable, average person with even a modicum of common sense can see that trying to make money through betting is a losing game if you're looking at the long haul, isn't it?

Who actually comes out on top when it comes to gambling? Is it really anyone other than the house?
If you’re looking to get serious about betting, you really need to start paying closer attention to how the bookmakers actually operate, don't you think? You can't just place bets blindly; you have to study the organizers and understand the logic behind their odds.
Is there anything more frustrating than those guys who go out of their way to rig the results?
Does anyone else ever find themselves wondering about those people who actually go out of their way to fix the results? It makes you think, doesn't it?
You have all those different characters running around out there, peddling their little systems, leaking tips, offering advice, or making these grand predictions... essentially everything we’ve been discussing lately.

The players here are acting a lot like sheep just waiting to be sheared, aren't they? 😁
The last time I dealt with a crude threat like that was back when we were just kids fighting in the middle school hallways. You know how it goes—one kid gets right in another's face, shouting insults and spitting, and before you know it, a brawl breaks out. It’s all so primal. Honestly, I expect this forum to maintain a certain standard of discourse, and there should be zero tolerance for outbursts like this. Everything has its limits, and there is such a thing as hitting rock bottom.

It all started when some acquaintances shared stories from "confidential sources" about people making easy money through sportsbooks. Like any sensible person would, I dismissed that nonsense immediately as total rubbish. That's why I wrote my post regarding betting sites here

Then, a moderator going by the name driftingotter47 responds in an incredibly vulgar and, frankly, threatening manner saying: ...I work for Dvoznak, I've been betting professionally for years and I'm way up... Mention Dvoznak with those epithets one more time and you're banned from this site.

To the forum administration: this kind of stupidity doesn't belong on a forum, at least not in the official sections. Maybe it belongs in some alternative corner for conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, witchcraft, or lizard people, but not here. What a complete "double-faced" joke 🤦 just a bunch of common scammers and liars who prey on unlucky bettors. 😠
Regarding that double-sided behavior, the post by MaliZeleni10 is spot on:

What am I trying to say?
Everything has a floor, and this has clearly crossed it.
Seeing a urologist might actually be a life-threatening endeavor if you aren't careful. (A little dark humor never hurt anyone, right?)
I was reading about this incident from a few years back where an older man, driven to his breaking point by the endless wait times at a hospital in Santa Barbara, ended up killing his urologist, leading a police officer on a chase, and ultimately taking his own life.

So, why am I bringing this up?
The wait times for a urology appointment in Canada are absolutely brutal; if you're looking to get seen at the clinic in Santa Barbara right now, you might not see a doctor until December 2022 unless you decide to pay out of pocket, in which case they could probably squeeze you in as early as next week. 😁
I suspect things aren't much better over in America, so if you're planning on getting checked out, my advice is to book your appointment as soon as humanly possible.
northerncrane66 said:Let's dig this topic back up from the ashes. November is Men's Health Awareness Month, after all. Are you guys planning on getting a checkup sometime this month?

I’ve actually been chewing on this topic for a few years now. If we’re talking specifically about prostate cancer, it feels like other health issues just don't carry that same sense of immediate danger, doesn't it?😁
But after spending way too much time digging through Google searches, I eventually stumbled upon the idea that early screening might not even be all it's cracked up to be.

This link leads to a PDF document regarding prostate cancer screening.
Back in 2013, a review from the Cochrane database revealed some pretty interesting findings:
- Screening increases the detection rate of prostate cancer by about 1.3 times.
- It allows us to catch localized prostate cancer 1.79 times more often.
but here's the kicker:
- After reviewing five major randomized studies involving a massive pool of 341,000 patients, they didn't see any actual change in mortality rates caused by prostate cancer.
- Furthermore, looking at four large randomized studies, there was no significant impact on overall mortality rates either.


The reality is that modern medicine still hasn't found a definitive cure for prostate cancer, and it’s also true that almost every man alive today will eventually face prostate cancer—assuming we don't pass away from something else first. It seems almost inevitable, much like death itself. For instance, over 90% of men older than 90 have it, and I believe it's closer to 50% or 60% for those in their 70s.

The silver lining, if you can call it that, is that prostate cancer typically progresses so slowly that most people end up passing away from something entirely unrelated before it ever becomes an issue.
So many seniors pass away without ever even knowing they had it.
Which basically suggests that early diagnosis might not offer much real-world benefit. Most of these various studies seem to point toward very similar conclusions.

Just like the thread title suggests, I'm pretty shocked 😲honestly, I am quite surprised 🙂
You actually revived two of my posts instead of just one—I ended up deleting the first one myself since those photos were getting a bit too massive 😁

Regarding that PDF on the Coronavirus. I honestly feel like you sent the moderators off to some intense training camp in East Germany, the Soviet Union, or even China... They’ve become so incredibly rigid and overbearing, acting just like old-school police officers from a bygone era. 😁
They even wiped out my post about the "vaccine vending machine"—you know, that concept of an automated station for instant shots? It’s like they completely fail to grasp a bit of dark humor.

Amanda Flores88 said:...I've been active on this forum for 15 years now, and during that time, I've put out more than 7,000 posts, yet maybe only two of them have ever been deleted.
Honestly, I can't even remember a single time anyone actually took one of my posts down.
But in just this past week, half of what I wrote was wiped clean.

I’m noticing the exact same thing lately, where the forum police seem to have become incredibly—how should I put this?—bloodthirsty. 😁 Even my own totally harmless comments have been scrubbed away.

It seems to me there are two distinct types of moderators here: you have the educated, intelligent, witty, well-read, charming, and genuinely fun ones... 👍 and then you have those who, unfortunately, remind me of old-school military officers, precinct cops, or low-level bureaucrats from some bygone era of government overreach. 🙄

The kind of characters that my Canadian neighbors would describe as being completely "thick-headed." It's hard to find an exact American equivalent for that specific nuance, but let's just say they lack any sense of finesse. 😁

So, here is how the situation plays out: sometime before midnight, a moderator rolls in and cleans up a thread, deleting a few trivial posts. Fine, whatever. But just as the police never truly sleep, these stubborn, old-guard moderators decide to "review" their colleague's work, and then the very next day around lunchtime, they come back to sweep through the thread again, deleting a massive pile of posts. Seriously, how is this supposed to be a good thing?🕺

raven-shield said:...if my stance interferes with your constitutionally guaranteed right to freedom of choice in this democratic nation, then feel free to go apply for citizenship in North Korea or Saudi Arabia, where you legally won't have any freedom of choice regarding many things at all.
I honestly think you'd enjoy it there. Go ahead and get vaccinated—take a 74th dose or a 115th booster if that's what you want, for yourself or your kids for all I care, because you don't have the right to impose anything on us or make your choices a condition for everyone else.

Living here in Canada, our Great Leader JJ simply decided that anyone refusing to get the shot should be labeled second-class citizens; and what does that actually mean? It means you can't go to work, you can't walk into a grocery store, you can't sit in a restaurant, attend school or college, visit a cafe, use a bank, enter a shopping mall, or even pump gas at a station. You might as well just stay cooped up at home for the rest of your life (or longer, if you're lucky enough to make it that far). 😁

Now, I’m certainly no fan of our Great Leader, but I have to give him credit here—not because he spent his training years in a small town in Connecticut, but quite simply because someone needs to step up and bring some actual order to this mess.
To put it bluntly: we need some discipline!

Anthony Nelson3 said:Don't sweat it, 🙂 polls are a joke because the anti-vax crowd has a massive army of clones here just spamming votes and repeating the same three lines in every single post. Actually, it's really just one line: "New phenomena will kill you in ten years." 🤣 They're convinced they know the truth.

Alright, let’s try looking at this from the opposite angle for a second: imagine we’re still in that window where a vaccine hasn't been found yet, researchers are working around the clock, but unfortunately, they aren't seeing any results just yet. In a scenario like that, wouldn't we see another group of people emerging, ready to constantly claim that:
Is it just me, or does it feel like they’re dragging their feet on purpose, and honestly, what exactly are we all sitting around waiting for?
The cure has already been discovered, hasn't it? It’s sitting there somewhere, just being kept out of the public eye.
The vaccines are already out there; they've just been bought up by Soros and Bill Gates.
Honestly, isn't it pretty obvious that the Masons have all been vaccinated for ages?
Is it possible that the CIA and NASA are actually keeping secrets tucked away in the world's largest underground bunker?
We need to make sure this vaccine reaches every single corner of the country, from the biggest metropolitan hubs all the way down to the smallest rural towns and every doorstep in between. Don't we want to ensure that no community is left behind?
It’s really the same crowd, isn't it? You know the type—those same people who would be at the government's doorstep tomorrow, demanding that every single citizen be unconditionally vaccinated the very second a shot becomes available.

Gerald Chavez7 said:Look, forum polls are meant for entertainment and getting a conversation going—not for acting like a mirror of reality.

There was even a time during the presidential elections a couple cycles ago where Francklin D. Roosevelt won 39% of the vote on this forum, when in actual reality he only had 4%.

I was honestly moved to tears when I first heard the news about Michael. 🙂
I still have this little mental image stuck in my head from back when I used to read Rolling Stone, though I can't quite recall the exact details right now—it was something along the lines of "The Francklin D. Roosevelt Institute for Public Opinion." If I remember correctly, the logo featured a water faucet tied up in a knot. It’s a shame I can’t seem to track down a digital copy of that somewhere online, isn't it? 😁
Poor Michael never lived to see the vaccine arrive.
Would you get your kids vaccinated against COVID? in Coronavirus ·
Honestly, looking at these poll results is just plain terrifying.
Instead of people feeling relieved or happy that they actually have the choice to vaccinate their children, over 80% of you seem to be pushing back against it.
It feels like we’re dealing with a collective wave of madness here, almost like we've regressed to some medieval mindset—as if we were living under the thumb of the Inquisition, the old USSR, the former UN, or even modern-day South Korea. 🤦
I’d really like to ask the site admins to just lock this thread and wipe these poll results clean. 😁

That’s why the "women's corner" filled with Instagram influencers and celebrity gossip gets read by hundreds of members at any given moment, while a thread on "Philosophy" or "Literature" is considered a massive success if even ten people show up at once.

That's a bit like saying today is Wednesday and tomorrow is already Thursday...
If half the population has an IQ under 100, what can you really expect?
People just have this deep-seated hunger for stupidity, mindless drama, social media fluff, true crime stories, and watching other people's lives fall apart. Would it really be a good thing if Reddit lost half its user base over this? It’s pretty obvious that the platform would go belly up almost immediately, so where would we all go to talk then?

I think we could use a little more empathy for those folks who, let's just say, aren't exactly the brightest bulbs in the box.
If someone were to walk up to General Electric today with a weapon, they'd probably just say: I don't seek out foolishness, nor would I ever provide it to you.
