Missed Yesterday's game and I was late in giving the results for my bet and prediction for the game on January 3, so here are the results,

Oklahoma City Thunders VS Boston Celtics SCORE 127 - 123 - WIN

A close game against the Boston Celtics and I really never imagined that the Thunders could win this but it was just a wild guess, I can feel that the Boston Celtics will have a failure with something but that is just a hunch, and the Oklahoma City Thunders Shai Gilgeous-Alexander could make a go with it, Jalen Williams got 16 points, Josh Giddey got 23 points and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander got 36 points winning this game, and OKC winning as an underdog is a great deal with me aswell,

Sacramento Kings VS Charlotte Hornets SCORE 104 - 111 - LOST

It is quite remarkable that the underdog wins again, and this time I don't have any hunch that the Hornets could win against the Sacramento Kings, it could be a coincidence, but yeah It was Domantis Sabonis and De'Aaron Fox but it was not enough because the Charlotte Hornet even though they don't have their main players Paul Jamaine Washington Jr. still got 17, Miles Bridge got 27 points and Terry Rozier got 34 points for this game,

Golden State Warriors VS Orlando Magic SCORE 121 - 115 - WIN

Just like I thought and just like what I wanted and that is for the Warriors to win in this game for this game the Orlando Magic got their 1st lead but in the 1st half it was really a close game that it ended up in a draw both teams score was 55, but in the 2nd half the Warriors was motivated in the 4th quarter and just like the other games the Golden State Warriors are getting good at the 4th quarter and there is no stopping them,

From rising topics and lots of risk advise and content that has been shared in this section is enough for many of us to start leaning and put them into practice. Hence I understand that many people here often win or maybe twice a week or once a week maybe could be monthly, and I also believe that there are people who hardly make winning they can gamble for weeks and months without any possibility of winning at this point why don't we share our games.

Maybe anyone can decide to share his game and let those interested to should pick and play on their favorite gambling site, with this help we all can win together, the most important thing should be that everyone understand the gambling rules and for that can only bet with whatever they can afford to lose. If any game is posted by any reputable user here that does not mean that such person is 100% correct and hence shouldn't go bet with their entire life savings, the point is we should be able to carry this mindset that whatever may happen at the point of betting we might win or lose.

I don't know if such thread already existing or maybe, have been locked due to issues that was on grounds or could be that the thread is no longer effective if any please ref me then I can put this on lock as well then I will be more active over there.

The other day someone was talking about how he hates gambling as it nearly ruined his life, and within my mind I was like, no it was not gambling that nearly ruined you it was actually you that tried to ruin your life and that's because you refused to gamble responsibly and discipline yourself by not been capable of differentiating money meant for gambling from money meant for other projects in your life.

Why do people blame gamble for their own act of irresponsibility. No one is talking about their own part in their story of bad experience's with gambling, all we get to hear is gambling is bad and a useless activity. Why?

Seriously, whatever the reasons, this is pure weaknesses. Moreover, this didn't just happen once, but there was a series of previous matches where Arsenal was also unable to optimize enough chances. What's worse, Arsenal also lost to Fulham in the next match. This isn't bad luck, right? But it is pure weakness as you said. The problem now is that Arsenal are not very convincing, especially in their front line. I'm sure Arteta is confused about the condition of the team. It's not just their performance that has declined, but automatically their position at the standing table... This has even gotten worse. And let's wait and see how they will be in the next match and how Arteta will be able to re-manage his squad, especially to face difficult matches in the EPL and UCL, of course.

Does anyone here do the same?

For example, let's say there's a game tomorrow between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Indiana Pacers. The original betting spread is Indiana +2.5 vs Milwaukee -2.5. Let's assume their respective spreads have odds of 1.90, and you believe the underdog will win. Are you willing to bet on Indiana as favorites?

By saying favorites, I mean would you choose Indiana -2.5 with 2.50 odds, a little higher than the moneyline odds which is 2.23.

I don't love clicking links, but I think the guy is full of shit. There is no way to be that lucky unless it's rigged IMO.

There are gamblers that have a bad plan or no plan at all about their life, they gamble with whatever amount they have rather than what they can afford to lose that won't be a worry to them if lost. There's this thought that am sure almost every gambler that have won a bet before must have had. which is the thought of "had I knew this game was going to win  I would have used bigger amount of money to wager".

A situation where the stake for the bet he won was $1k, the next statement you hear is how wish I knew I would have staked with $5k. The question is, the $5k is it an amount of money that you can be comfortable losing or it's just out of greed that you are not contented with the win amount the $1k gave you.

The fact that you won  using $1k today doesn't give assurance that if you had used higher amount or that your next bet that you probably increased the wager in order to win a bigger amount will play. As gamblers let not focus all attention on the amount that we may by chance of luck win but on what we are to lose should we fail to win the bet, in that way we won't spend on gambling above what we can afford to lose.
Stay in check!

We all know that gambling sometimes can be fun and something not, even if we  blatantly claim here that we do gamble alone for the fun purpose 🙄🙄. Truth be told majority of person actually gamble because of the possibility that they can earn some profits from the act and as we all know it , not all the time the end result is what we expected. Although am not an addicted gambler but I can say I do my fair share of gambling activities sometimes and what I have observed is that sometimes I actually make some hard calls that turn out to be fruitful when ever am tenced but the results may differ for different individuals though.

So I would like to know your own experience when making or taking risk in gambling under pressure.

No club is invincible, every club have a solid stand to fight back or give up. The rival for Liverpool have changed, not longer Arsenal but Aston Villa and Manchester City. Arsenal fall from the top and there's nothing left for them again if they don't fight to bounce back to streak winnings. I've seen couple of times, Arsenal suffered and there's no rectifying their problems, instead it's becoming worsen and I just hope Mikel Arteta and his players fights really hard. In the meantime, Liverpool are ranked first on the table in the new year, 2024. Good starts to boost their performance and there's presence of improving stats.

Greetings everyone and happy new year all!

Okay, today I was actually out for a little business and it happens that I almost spent all my time wasted without me even having a smooth deal, but along the line I have few games that I have placed a bet and was wanting to view my games from my phone since gambling is now mobile, what I meant by mobile is that you can access your account at any place provided that you have an internet connectivity you will login to monitor your matches.

So when I logged in, someone close to me easily peep from my left hand side and noticed that I just opened my account monitoring my games, at this point what he said is "ahh you don join dem"? Meaning you have also belong to the groups of people that gambles?

On a lighter note, I just smile and asked him if there is anything wrong while gambling or while monitoring my games and he said nothing but just that few people he knew that are gambling almost turned useless.

This now triggered me to come ask here whether you cares about what people says or sees you as when gambling, I know there are people who don't know you from time or who doesn't believe that you are a gambler and if it happens that you came across such people and their reaction towards you goes other way round would you care about it or you just totally ignore them?

Let's discuss amicably

Of course, luck plays an important role in almost all games. Even if we take games like chess (international competitions with a prize fund), then even there there is an element of luck. For one simple reason: a person is not able to calculate all the combinations and in some cases, even in chess, he is forced to rely on luck.
      And if we are talking about games where by default there is an element of uncertainty, then luck is even more important there. But the most effective gambling strategies are essentially aimed at eliminating luck as much as possible from the earnings scheme. There are different ways to do this. Many of them are very cunning, because they follow a very indirect path to this goal.

The financial struggles of Barcelona have indeed been a significant challenge that makes the likelihood of making high-profile signings a replacement for Marcos Alonso may be limited. They may need to explore the market for players available on a free transfer or at a reasonable cost. This could involve identifying players whose contracts have expired or those willing to negotiate favorable terms. Otherwise, Xavi needs to consider players within the squad who can adapt to different positions. This versatility can be valuable, especially when faced with limitations in recruitment options.

The concerns about Lewandowski's form and the struggles of other forwards make Barca need to focus on the attacking line. While it might be challenging to bring in a marquee signing, Barcelona can utilize theie youth academy for a cost-effective solution. Promoting talented youngsters to fill attacking positions can be a sustainable approach during financially challenging times. This not only addresses immediate needs but also aligns with Barcelona's tradition of nurturing homegrown talent.

It's New Year here in our country and I happened to bump into an old friend who narrated a story about how he almost suffered a heart attack after he won a big amount of money in a casino, this was several months ago, he's lucky that his son was around at that time so he got the right treatment at the right time.

He did not know that his hypertension had gotten worse since he can gamble even if he has this, he is taking medicines and doing relaxation but big winnings must have triggered this.

My question is :
Do you know the status of your health while gambling and what do you do if you happen to suffer a mild or hard stroke?

This is why I make it a point to open my messenger and have my loved one that I can contact in case, whenever I'm playing alone.
