very good experience mate, you are a very wise bettor using the money from your winnings to buy something more useful instead of using it to gamble again.
I have to praise you because you are able to know the right time to stop betting and on the one hand you are able to have a strong commitment to limit yourself from betting again because usually this will be very difficult to control but you are able to fight the temptation.

the experience you share can provide an example to other people that gambling responsibly, knowing the right time to stop will give you a sensation of pride when you succeed in resisting any temptation in gambling.
and congratulations on your win, mate.

he was just telling stories and I'm sure that was more beneficial for him because he felt that having a small television in his house was no longer suitable and bought a bigger television so that when he was relaxing he could enjoy television that was worth watching and that was much better than having to gamble again but does not provide any guarantees.

on the one hand he also gives good advice if you use the winnings for investment etc. so for me the story that OP said is like advice for other people to use their winnings to buy something valuable for each gambler.

If someone here retired because they won at gambling, I think they wouldn't be here anymore.
a little funny but interesting when looking at the content of this topic, a gambler retires with gambling winnings. I'm sure they won't retire but will just rest for a few days and after that come back a few days with the assumption "who knows, I'll be lucky again"

what I know is that if a gambler who retires because of a gambling win will never be able to retire, in fact the win encourages the gambler to bet again with the mindset of wanting to win again, even though a gambler wins $1m, it does not rule out the possibility that he will be able to retire and this is a common problem that happens often and I'm sure someone here also feels the same way.

unless a gambler retires with the intention of wanting to stop not because of a win or loss but simply by his own will with great determination I believe that there is.

as I said, if Nice has indeed had quite good improvements since several seasons, they can achieve runner up achievements but that will only be temporary and I also admit that Nice performance is really very good, a little more consistent at the start of the season and almost surprised everyone with what Nice has done is that they can have great strength at the start of the season and end up experiencing a decline in performance in the second half of the season and if we want to see Nice in the UCL next season that could happen but I'm really not sure if they can get past the round group stage if you are in a group with a stronger team.

no matter how strong Nice is, it will only be experience and will never be able to get the League 1 title, but all of that can be achieved if you consistently stay in the runner up position for several seasons, gain experience competing with big teams, after that you can find a way to win the title in league 1.
and if next time Nice gets a ticket to the UCL and fails in the first stage it won't be a big problem because it's a valuable experience for a team to know its mistakes.

well, this is an important point in everything we are talking about here, that the reason gamblers continue to gamble even though they are losing is because they consider gambling like a hobby that can provide entertainment and of course with everything that has been planned not to spend too much money on gambling and obey the rules. predetermined limits.

of the several reasons why gamblers still bet even though they always lose, perhaps the most common and most reasonable reason is just what you said, because we would certainly consider it something ridiculous if a gambler continued to bet because he wanted to win, even though betting 10 times is not necessarily true giving a win even if you get a win will definitely not be equivalent to the losses that have been incurred.
therefore, considering gambling as a hobby may be one way to continue gambling safely but still have to adhere to the limits that have been planned so as not to gamble excessively.

for a gambler who has responsibility and strong self-control, it doesn't matter if gambling becomes a place to waste free time when lonely, but it is still not recommended because it can pose a risk which can ultimately lead to a feeling of addiction.
there are lots of ways to waste our free time so that we dont feel lonely but it all depends on each person's wishes because everyone has their own choice of how to entertain themselves but for me the most comfortable way to vent loneliness is just to go with family or find friends to go to a pleasant place. the reason I chose this method is only to avoid anxiety if we indulge in gambling too often which will affect our brain for the worse.

I support your opinion regarding balancing the time and money we have for gambling and this is the same as respecting money and time. am I right ?
a gambler who can value their time and money will never prioritize gambling but prefer to make the best use of their time to produce something useful rather than waste time on gambling and on the one hand, if a gambler can value every $1 he has, he will definitely always think more long before using his money to bet and choose to use only a very small amount and use the rest for something useful.

In this way, I am sure that a gambler can gamble safely without being addicted and still be a responsible gambler because in this way we have to get used to respecting the time and money we have so that it is not wasted in vain.

you make a very good point here.
I mean everything you say is an important point that really has to be paid attention to because usually the common problems that are often violated by gamblers are only related to KYC, deposits, withdrawals and country restrictions which are always the most common mistakes and I also do the same thing like you, when you want to register at a new casino, only read the important points you mentioned and very rarely waste time reading all the casino rules.

however, if you have a lot of free time and the casino you want to use will be your favorite casino, there's no harm in reading all the rules to better understand what can't be violated and what needs to be avoided and I also sometimes read all the contents of the ToS, but after reading half of it, I felt bored and continued placing bets.

of the several games you mentioned, everything still depends on luck, even though sportsbooks are the main choice for a gambler, but remember, sometimes a favorite team can be defeated by a weak team which is said to be a surprise. however, sportsbooks can be one of the things that have the lowest risk by developing your skills in predicting the chances of winning a match and you can win, for example, if you choose the smallest odds, even though you dont always win, you have a bigger chance of winning.
for example, in soccer betting, a match between a strong team and a weak team, you bet on a double chance of the strong team winning or drawing with odds @1.1, meaning you have a greater chance of winning even if your winnings are only a small amount.
but it is not recommended to do it this way because gambling parties dont like it if customers keep winning by choosing small odds and your account could be banned.

and there is still one type of bet that doesn't rely on luck, you just have to rely on your skills to win, namely poker. In the game of poker you can fight against fellow gamblers and you only need skill to be able to process your cards so you can win every round.
so this game is highly recommended if you want to get consistent wins but you have to have more skills.

at the moment, it seems like Al Hilal has been guaranteed to win the SPL title, but we can't know whether there will be any surprises because sometimes injuries come at the wrong time and injuries are also a nightmare for a player that can affect a team's performance.
currently, it will be very impossible for Al Nassr to catch up with Al Hilal points, but it looks like there will still be changes because the match schedule is still a bit long and there are still many obstacles that must be faced.

you said the right thing regarding Ronaldo performance, it is indeed very good, contributing a large number of scores but there is no solid cooperation and in my opinion Al Nassr only needs to strengthen its defense line which is currently still conceding often and in this transfer season there is an opportunity for Al Nassr to get new, more qualified players and I hope Al Nassr management understands this weakness and immediately fixes it.
Previously, perhaps Al Nssr was too focused on strengthening the attack line so that it did not focus on the defense line, which in the end the line up was unbalanced because only the attack line was strong but the defense line was weak.

as far I know, since I first started gambling until today, I have never known that gambling has a maximum age limit for continuing to gamble. this means that anyone who is 18+ will definitely be permitted and have the right to gamble whenever they want because it comes back to a person's ability, even if they are old enough but still physically healthy and have the ability to gamble, it certainly won't create any problems because usually someone older gamblers are confused about spending their old age and usually have fun enjoying their old age in various ways and one of them is gambling.
because gambling is considered entertainment so it is not surprising that there are gamblers who are very old but still bet in casinos and as long as they have money that can be used for gambling everything will be fine.

like I have a neighbor who is old enough to have several successful businesses and he still gambles just to spend his old age having fun because in his youth he spent his time building his business and now he is old it is time to enjoy the results by gambling.

In conclusion, there is no age limit to continue gambling as long as you have money and it doesn't harm your health, of course everything will be fine and you can see from other threads related to the age limit for a gambler.

previously here I said that all the players owned Real Madrid have very strong talent and skills, even the reserve players owned by Madrid also have quality skills as we have seen, even though Vinicius and Bellingham did not compete due to injury, there are always reserve players who is able to replace the positions of these two players and like Camavinga, who has been recognized as a central midfielder but he always manages to replace the defensive position and can even help the attacking line players score.
so it's only natural that Ancelotti will never doubt the players he currently has because all Real Madrid players are perfect.

the reason why Ancelotti is focused on getting Mbappe is that every line of Madrid is very perfect, but in the attack line Real Madrid needs a pure striker to be able to get a higher title because currently Madrid is only able to win with a narrow score and this is one of Madrid weaknesses which needs players striker like Mbappe.

will never happen and it is absolutely impossible for me that Nice can overtake PSG, whereas in terms of player performance two teams are very different and PSG is far superior to Nice.
on the one hand, believe it or not, I will be more confident that at the end this season, Nice will no longer be the runner up but Monaco will be the runner up in league 1 because in terms of experience, Nice is actually just like lucky team to be able to get runner up in the meantime, but the fact Nice still looks very inconsistent and will slowly fall to position below Monaco.

Its true that Nice seems very strong, but let's take a closer look at every performance of this team, even when playing against teams below them like
Le Havre and Nantes were unable to beat these two teams whereas team that is said to be quite strong and consistent will not be able to be beaten by a team below it and will usually only hold a draw because it maintains its consistent quality and from what I have said this is about the fact that Nice is not strong team and this is just a lucky team that is able to take advantage of the opportunity when top team has schedule to compete in another competition.

so, the question is, who is the player who has skills equivalent to Kane? and whether the player wants to join Spurs while the team  still struggling to win the title in EPL.

currently it is difficult to get high quality striker players while I am not sure whether Spurs can afford to spend a lot money on pure striker player and you can see that most of the pure strikers who are very reliable have very high market price unless Spurs can produce new talents in players young people like Kane were previously trained at Spurs until they have the skills they have today.
therefore, what Spurs currently need is not just striker player but enough to get midfielder player who has good talent to help score more and this is a more sensible way than having to buy pure striker player which will be very expensive and I am sure that the team they are coaching Postecoglou can achieve great achievements if he gets the right midfielder and the reason I say this is because this team had a good performance after losing Kane.

even though it looks crazy, believe me, La Liga is very interesting, it's not boring to watch because this season has a new history if there are small teams that surprisingly compete with top teams and I'm sure you will know why this small team can achieve surprising achievements like today.

Michel as the head coach of Girona is able to provide the right strategy and successfully take advantage of opportunities at a time when the top teams are focused on competing in other competitions such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid who are currently focused on competing in the UCL to try to chase the title in that competition and Girona is able to consistently take advantage of this opportunity to continue to get more points and reach the top of the standings competing with top teams and this is the answer to all our questions about why La Liga teams are experiencing strange things like this and this is actually not an oddity but there are indeed other competitions that are being held prioritize.

so for me, all of this is very normal and I dont consider it something strange, but what must be asked is why Girona players can appear so strong to compete with big teams and even beat Barcelona?
well, this is an oddity that I think is more appropriate because if we see a decline in performance in several big teams in La Liga it is natural because they are competing in other competitions but for some reason Girona players are able to have quite a strong performance even though they dont have high quality players.

for me the mutually beneficial agreement is just to stay until the end of the season and nothing more. because PSG can't do anything even though they offer a contract extension with a very high salary, it looks like it won't be able to materialize because last season they were warned that if there was no contract extension between PSG and Mbappe in june this season, Mbappe would have to leave as a free agent and on the one hand I think Mbappe really wants to leave his current team because like talented players they will continue to look for new challenges to be able to win titles in the UCL by joining the right team and Liverpool I think is not Mbappe priority but Real Madrid which can be considered a team that has a big chance when Mbappe contract expires.

I support what you said at the end of your reply that Liverpool currently looks perfect without Mbappe, the team can still excel because it has a great player like Salah who has almost equal skills to Mbappe and for me actually Liverpool only needs a few defensive players not striker player and if you force to get Mbappe, the balance of the line-up cannot be better because Salah will definitely leave if Mbappe joins Liverpool.

Indeed, for the season after Tuchel was able to recruit high class players, he became more focused on bringing the team to a higher level, such as focusing on the UCL and indeed that was the main goal for Bayern Munich and more precisely, the title in the bundesliga would be easy for Munich to achieve because all it needed was to always get closer on points to Leverkusen and when the match in the UCL can be resolved after that at the end of the season it will easily shift Leverkusen position if it is Bayern Munich intention to also win the title in the bundesliga and we remember last season when Bayern Munich was just below Dortmund in the end of the season was tense and very surprising Bayern Munich was able to overtake Dortmund and finally win the bundesliga title.

even though Munich will not be able to win the title in the bundesliga, the most important thing is that this team can win the title in the UCL because as long as its mainstay player Kane is still in strong condition, Tuchel will easily set whatever strategy he wants because he feels Kane can really be relied on.

there is no doubt that Juventus in the Coppa Italia also appeared very strong, even the upcoming match will be a very easy match for Juventus to get 3 additional points after beating Salernitana in this series A match and previously I also said about this match that whatever happens Juventus will continue to try to catch up with the points left behind Inter and this time it looks like Inter also has to be more careful because Juventus is currently in a very strong condition.
I really didn't expect that at first Juventus in the first half of the season had not shown its strongest performance but in the second half of this season Juventus showed that this team cannot be underestimated because even though it does not have mainstay players, we know that behind this team there is a great coach and there is no there is no doubt that this season serie A will be very competitive because Inter will also compete against Verona and the team is not a strong team for Inter so it will also be very easy to get 3 points from Verona.

of course, no one will ever succeed because we all gamble only depending on luck except in skill based games.
it is impossible for us to fight our luck and force luck to come by using the martingale strategy, whereas this strategy will actually drain our budget very quickly. to this day I have only found one person who has successfully used the martingale strategy to get quite a big win but it comes down to how lucky they were and the fact that he tried this strategy again failed and lost his winnings again.

whatever method or strategy we will use in gambling will never work because the house always wins and unless the gambler bets with his skill in skill based games.

as I said, it is not recommended and avoided for anyone if you feel stressed and we must remember that gambling must be done comfortably so that we can feel the pleasure we want, whereas in fact gambling was built to provide a place for customers to look for pleasure and it seems like there is no point if gamble under any pressure because all you have to feel is pleasure but it turns into regret after forcing yourself to gamble under that pressure.

whatever you have done, I appreciate you because it was very valuable experience so that you dont do it again and my advice is that if you feel your mind is uncomfortable, avoid gambling and go looking for entertainment with your friends or look for other entertainment places that dont have risk of losing money is too great.

I'm saying this honestly, I've also experienced the same thing as you, but I did this repeatedly when I was still bad gambler, forcing myself to bet even though I was doubtful and forcing myself when my mind was disturbed, in the end I couldn't stop chasing losses because the pressure makes my mind emotional and difficult to control.
however, from this experience I became better currently I have bad experience but in the future it will be a very valuable experience and indeed gambling must be done in healthy state of mind without any distractions and without any pressure.
once again I will just say that anyone should always avoid gambling if they feel uncomfortable when gambling.

as I said before, this is only about the mindset of the gamblers, if they understand and consider this to be just entertainment, they will never get worse because they really understand what risks they will get and what they must avoid so as not to get the risk is too big. well, if gamblers can have a mindset like this, they will definitely ignore any negative things and any temptations in gambling, they will still be able to control themselves and hold tightly to their commitment to continue to be safe gamblers and only test their luck with small amounts and always consider this is just a moment of entertainment.

but even so, most gamblers always think that gambling is to get a win or profit and I really understand this condition because anyone can be tempted and lose control and change into a bad mindset of hoping for a profit because we bet using money and no one can capable of losing his money and when tempted by a winning streak a gambler loses control and turns to a greedy mindset and will end up losing all his winnings as well as his budget.
a mature mindset is very important in gambling and we must understand this if we want to continue to be safe gamblers and always be able to enjoy every betting session.
