...

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.
...

gambling is entertainment and this is the reason why quite a lot of developed countries have legalized gambling, but the negative effect that can result when gambling too often is addiction, so for those who cannot manage their emotions, gambling is a nightmare trap, but for those who really can manage their emotions and manage their money well, gambling is the best entertainment that can really relieve fatigue, especially when you get the jackpot, so gambling is bad for only a few groups of people.

Pep Guardiola is farming the premier league successfully. All the top teams in the EPL have lost their confidence and do not see themselves competing at a equal level with Manchester City. Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool (adding Liverpool to the list because I know they are going to be in big trouble next season if they cannot find a manager as good as Klopp) are struggling to keep their heads above water.

As long as Pep Guardiola is still coaching Manchester City then the chances of other big EPL teams will be difficult to compete with Man City, Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool and I doubt there will be a coach who is able to train Liverpool, while Man Urltd is still suffering a lot because even Ten Hag doesn't able to show a significant increase in team performance, next season's competition will be even more difficult, especially as new coaches will start coming to the big EPL teams.

A lot of social media influencers especially vloggers and YouTubers are promoting gambling usually at the end of their vlogs or videos.
I could see a huge contribution and spread of information that they made especially during this time where the majority are using smartphones already. In fact, we've been seeing a massive increase in gamblers and online gambling sites. But how this could affect the mindset of the kids when they are also seeing these ads/promotions from the social media influencers they followed? I could be wrong but this has a mental effect on them and at a very young age, they are exposed to gambling already which is supposedly not the right time.

I think these influencers must know their target audience before accepting the offer or should not be included in their vlogs or videos?

This is why nowadays we as adults don't stop providing education to young people, especially those who are still in school because when they become active gamblers their school will be disrupted and often their personality will be damaged and they will become very evil with money (in order to make ends meet their desire to gamble), many adults who can even make their own money have been ruined by gambling, do we have the heart to let our children become gamblers before they are old enough!

Well, there's a huge misconception at this point that Bitcoin or any public network crypto can be directly used for money laundering, No one can do that until he uses some kind of bypass methods or services, or a private Blockchain network. Becasue in Blockchain the data is always available to Onchain it can be directly tracked and the money laundering cant be one in such a transparent system.

I don't know where people who launder money get the news that the illegal transactions they carry out can go undetected when they use bitcoin or other altcoin networks, they don't know that blockchain technology records all transactions made. Cryptocurrency is very different from fiat, fiat can be completely untraceable and until now fiat is a medium of exchange that is often used in various illegal transactions, fiat is untraceable because it uses traditional methods while cryptocurrency is traceable because it uses blockchain technology.

No one expected Chelsea to end the season in 6th place, Chelsea couldn’t qualify for the Champions League, but everyone applauded Pochettino for his brave performance towards the end of the season. People are already anticipating how Chelsea's performance will be next season, but now Chelsea will be starting afresh with the new coach they will be getting.


Chelsea's performance at the end of the season was very good, even surpassing the performance shown by Manchester United for that Pochenttino deserves to be appreciated, but I don't know why Chelsea management is not satisfied with the results given by Pochenttino, the current rumor is that Chelsea and Manchester United are reportedly currently in contact with mckenna. Chelsea management should be able to provide opportunities for Pochettino because it is not easy to compete with great teams in the Premier League.

Yes gambling,drugs,killings get you hanged in the city square in Saudi but apparently they are making some exceptions whenever there are celebrities and high profile individuals from other countries as long as they are not Muslims I assume.I never saw any Muslim person to be let gambling in Saudi Arabia while other religions are permitted and I think it is all about the money,as long as the state gets money in without risking their nationals they welcome them in such type of "casinos" and this is totally against the law there,this Floyd guy has the right to call them to trial if justice works there,as they have broken their own rules  Grin by allowing gambling to happen which is strictly prohibited in their religion.

That's right, from what I heard, some of the rules that apply in Saudi Arabia can be set aside when you have a big influence or are a famous person, for example Cristiano Ronaldo, he is still not married to his girlfriend even though in Saudi Arabia sharing a house without marriage is prohibited, to be honest When I read the news that OP presented, I was shocked by the amount that Myweather had to pay, I thought he was really addicted to gambling.

The thing that I don't really like about betting on boxing is that I can find out which players have a big winning percentage, in fact quite a lot of fighters lose on points, I still really remember the first time I placed a bet on boxing, it was my first loss in betting. After that, I never bet on boxing again because I was also quite confused about the rules and there were even rumors that referees were cheating.

https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlo_Ancelotti

Yes he is very good, in fact his history as a coach is full of successes, which began in Italy and then moved to Spain. Since 2021 he has successfully followed Real Madrid, but he has also done well elsewhere (such as at Milan).
Clearly having good players helps, but he is also a skilled strategist.

And he is smart, much.

Ancelotti is a great coach, in my opinion his level is higher than Pep Guardiola, but this is what I saw extraordinary about Madri, they were able to see an extraordinary coach, so that now they are quite consistent in winning the Champions League. facing Dortmund later, Madrid will definitely appear more dominant, Ancelotti will definitely be able to see the gaps that have the potential to make Madrid lose, the final match will be very exciting for sure.

I think Bayer Leverkusen has  great chance of winning three big titles this season. They have been playing very well and have not lost game which shows how good they are. Their manager Xabi Alonso has done  great job and he is the biggest reason of their win we can say and they are focused on winning biggest prizes. They are one of the best teams in Europe right now and if they keep playing well and working together they might just win all three titles. It won't be easy but they have a good chance and if they will focus so they everything is possible.

Leverkusen's percentage of getting treble winners this season has reached 90%, Leverkusen's toughest opponent in the final is only against Atalanta in the European League final, while against FCK in the DFB-Pokal final, Leverkusen's chances of winning are very big. This season is an extraordinary season for Leverkusen, they almost got 0 defeats, this is really extraordinary and really made new history for Leverkusen, next season it looks like the competition will be even tighter, Bayern has a new coach.

What do you mean you haven't heard of successful gamblers who are happy? Look up their names on google. There are a lot of such gamblers and most of them are engaged in gambling professionally.

If we talk about gambling on borrowed money, then only an irresponsible person can do so. Play gambling should be only on the money that you are ready to lose immediately. Otherwise, gambling will only bring you grief.

Many people have really made gambling their daily activity, that's why they are said to be professional gamblers, but professional gamblers would never do something stupid like making debts for gambling capital, well, those who are professionals definitely know that debt is a trap and the majority gamblers who lose and fall into poverty are the ones who are in debt, so stay away from debt for gambling, you are just an irresponsible amateur.
11  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Management on: May 19, 2024, 04:40:03 AM
just be stable in gambling, when you make a profit from your gambling then set aside capital and then withdraw the rest or use it as capital again (this all depends on your decision), the thing that most often makes a gambling player lose money is because of greed and carelessness, in fact there are many who fell into poverty because of debt + gambling, managing gambling is not something that is difficult when we are disciplined.

The rea many teams they can be linked to Di Zerbi and this coach can have many options the next season. However, he was recently linked to Barcelona since they wanted to stop working with Xavi and take another coach. But It seems Xavi is not going to leave while in Bayern Munich, they need a better coach, and considering the performance of Di Zerbi during this season he will be a good option for them.
However, I think Di Zerbi was not the first priority for Bayern Munich.


de zerbi will not be able to handle a team as big as bayern, his style of play will not suit him but i think zerbi will suit manhester united because the pattern of play used by de zerbi is almost similar to the strategy created by pep guardiola, currently e zerbi is already unemployed, big clubs in Italy are still connected with him, we'll see where he ends up, a coach of his class will definitely stop at a big team (unlike Brighton).

The stupidest thing a gambler has ever done is gambling with other people's money, gambling with his savings and gambling with borrowed money, gambling is actually an activity that has the potential to generate profits but pressure after pressure can make everything fail, I don't know what people think who gamble with money that they don't own, it's clear that greed is covering them so they don't think clearly, always remind your family not to gamble with money that doesn't belong to them.

Do you think it is convenient to buy bitcoin now according to your predictions? Or wait for its value to drop further?

use the DCA concept if you want to make a profit on bitcoin, if you wait for the price of bitcoin to fall further then I can say it is almost impossible, no one knows what the price of bitcoin will be tomorrow or now so don't guess the price of bitcoin, just buy it stably and use it DCA method within your target time range and see that you will definitely make a profit in the long term.

Your invitation is just an invitation to create shit coins or shit tokens, currently there are already a lot of trash tokens which eventually disappear from circulation and even things like this make people afraid to invest in cryptocurrencies, currently only token projects are available. have a good reputation and only real use cases will survive, the rest will just disappear by itself because it's all just trash, so throw your thoughts away if you want to make another shit token.

Torino - Milan 3-1 in the 72nd minute of the match.

A match with little incentive from Milan, as they are now certain of second place in the standings, instead Torino can get a conference league qualification for next year if they can overcome Fiorentina. A difficult goal to achieve given that Fiorentina also have a match to make up against Atalanta.

Truly an unexpected result, Torino had led by 3 goals in the first half, while Milan was only able to score one goal in the second half, this was Milan's second defeat in their last 5 matches. Meanwhile, Torino will face Atalanta next week, Atalanta so far have not lost in their last 5 matches, I am quite doubtful about Torino's ability to beat Atalanta, especially since Atalanta has successfully entered the European League final, they are not a weak team.

When you come to the final match, you should already know what you have to do. Including Atalanta, they could hurt Leverkusen and thwart their efforts to win the Europa League title even though Leverkusen has been named the unbeatable team in the Bundesliga and Europa League so far.

Both teams have 11 players on the field, they have 45x2 to complete the mission. Of course you can't completely underestimate Atalanta even though Leverkusen's chances are higher, Atalanta's win wouldn't be too surprising even if it was considered luck. Nothing is impossible in a match, even in the final minutes everything can change as Leverkusen maintains its unbeaten record in several difficult matches.
It seems to me, it will be a shock if Atalanta win Leverkusen and thwart all their effort this season to maintain their unbeaten record when that is just the last match for Leverkusen to become victorious and put their name in the history book. I still see Leverkusen more superior in this match and only luck can help them win Leverkusen.

If we look at it since the start of this competition, Atalanta has had a good track record, their winning percentage is still quite high, but if you compare it with Leverkusen, they are still far superior. I'm sure Alonso will not take this final match lightly, he will definitely prepare the best strategy to make Leverkusen win in this final match, their fight has been really good to get to the final and I think it was just bad luck that made Leverkusen lose this final match.
18  Economy / Economics / Re: Buying Vs Renting a Home- Which is the right move? on: May 18, 2024, 08:23:32 PM

it really matters when you plan of how long you are going to stay in a certain place. if you have a kid and you give importance to his childhood friends and that he could have a life long friends, i guess buying would be better for he can have a place to call a home town.

if you are just in the place where you are called because you have a job. i think its best to just let your kids visit from time to time and just rent a place when you know you won't be staying for a long time.

That's right, the best moment to buy a house is when you really have decided to live long term in an area, if not then renting is the only wise way, I'm currently still renting a house, because it's still a small family that belongs to me, I had a long discussion with my partner and we both agreed to buy a house when we had decided to stay long term in an area and our children were adults, so that when they went abroad, we didn't feel burdened, the point is, don't force yourself to buy a house when the money you have can only afford renting at the moment.

When you say there is no difference in points I agree, but we need to remember that one team has Cristiano Ronaldo and the other doesn't. Al Hilal is good, but CR7 manages to boost the team's morale and with discipline they pass easily. No matter the difference

Cristiano alone will not be able to make Al Nassr a strong team, it must be motivation from all the players who can make Al Nassr's performance improve, to be honest, the last match between Al Nassr vs Al Hilal really surprised me, Al Nassr succeeded in scoring a goal very quickly and Al Hilal managed to score a goal at the end of the match, at first I thought Al Nassr would win, but the reality said differently, Al Hilal was lucky to get a penalty kick in the final minute.

In my opinion, this really depends on a person's personality and there are also types of people who don't think about how to pay off their debts after borrowing from other people and instead they get angry when the person they lent the money to charges them, but there are also types of people who feel uncomfortable when they have debt and they will always think about how to pay it off, there are some families who have a lot of debt and they have difficulty paying it off, making relationships in their family fall apart and there are even those who choose to separate because of the debt, you are right. It would be better for us not to borrow debt that will make it difficult for us to pay it off.

In my experience, making debt at the start is very nice but it is difficult to pay it off because we don't know what will happen to us in the future, so I don't intend to make debt when my income is uncertain in the future, besides that I also don't want to lend money to my relatives or friends because they will definitely have difficulty paying it off, I once had a fight with my friend because he was unable to pay off his debt to me.
