1341  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 17, 2024, 04:20:39 PM
Gladly I'm not someone who's always try to catch up or follow everything that other people' doing, so as big or small someone bet, it won't affect my decision. It's kind of people pleaser and it's not good since you're always looking to impress other people instead of understand what you want or want you need.

If people can get affected with someone, it's better for you guys to watch Drake. Cheesy

It all depends on the person, and maybe you are one of those people who has a good stand by never being affected by what other people do and I hope you do this not only in gambling, after all envy is a really bad trait and should be avoided, there are quite a lot of impacts that can occur due to this kind of disease, you will never feel calm and comfortable in living life because you always compare yourself with other people's achievements. And this is gambling where something that happens or is obtained by others does not mean that you can also get it as in the case of victory.

So the point is to be yourself, don't care too much about what other people do even though they can basically get a big win when increasing the bet amount, you know better about what you want and what will be able to keep you safe and comfortable, gamble in your own way, after all other people may not care too much about us.
1342  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 17, 2024, 03:37:30 PM
One of the most important factor of a successful gambler is to know when to stop, most gamblers expecially the addictive type don't even know what is stop when it comes to gambling.
Of course addicted gamblers do not know when to stop, if they know about it then they should not be called as addicted lol. My question is, what is the criteria of successful gambler based your understanding? Does those who know when to stop can be categorized as successful gambler? How about stopping only when we lost all our fund for the session or stopping only when I reach my winning limit?

Those who have entered the addiction phase have their own beliefs in gambling activities, always thinking excessively about winning so I think that is what makes it difficult for them to stop, no matter whether it is in a winning or losing situation it absolutely cannot be used as a benchmark and cannot even be an indication for them to stop, the fact is that people who are already addicted they are already trapped in a cycle of "winning is addicted and when losing is curious" so there is absolutely no choice for them to stop unless they have run out of all their money.

Now this is interesting, I see a lot of people's perspectives on "success in gambling" some say success is when gamblers manage to get a lot of wins in a row but honestly I disagree with this assumption because indeed in gambling there is absolutely no element for anyone to get a winning streak, there is absolutely no result that you can get consistently in gambling activities, and this confirms that such a concept of gambling is basically this activity is only about winning and losing at the end of the session. For me and according to my understanding "successful gamblers" are those who have a proper understanding of the actual concept of gambling which is basically always nothing more than a probability activity that offers randomly running wins and also those who have a good approach to gambling such as knowing when to stop, not meaning stopping when you run out of money but the impetus of a situation that is no longer possible, basically those who have good self-control that prioritizes preventive action for prevention.

Become addicted in something, is dangerous whatever it is gambling or drug or something else. Such kind of people don't hesitate to involve with any crime like stealing money, kidnapping people, selling their apartment. Even sometimes they don't rethink during end up their lives because they are in debt. I believe, they are only Lazy and greedy people who don't need to work hard but want to get rich within short time by using gambling as lottery. And this is how they keep doing gambling I am become get addicted without they realised. So never take gambling as a lottery of become Millionaire. Enhance your selfcontrol, Be responsible & use a little money from your salary for enjoy gambling. otherwise stop it

Yes because everything that is done too often or excessively is synonymous with bad things, as you said that there are many potential bad possibilities that they will experience and not only that, the impact of gambling addiction makes a person instantly change in himself whether in terms of behavior or nature and also you mentioned a fact that it is not uncommon for me to find several cases aired on television stations that inform that there are people who commit theft in one of the jewelry stores on the grounds of financing their gambling activities, as we know that gambling activities involve mental and psychological and if you are already a high level addict then obviously things out of control are very likely to be done when you run out of money to gamble.

Well that's right, people who gamble with the aim of winning are losers who want to get rich instantly and they dedicate themselves to gambling activities, which in fact is gambling is not a place to earn at all but just an entertainment activity to fill your time. There is absolutely no one who can get rich just by gambling, because this is an activity of fortune that has absolutely no certainty and guarantee, I would say you can get rich instantly if you are one of the bookmakers who own casinos, but if you are nothing more than a casual gambler then I think don't expect too much because it will only trap yourself.
1344  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A brief advice for the newbie gamblers. on: January 16, 2024, 09:14:06 PM
But we cannot say that a newbie who has just entered the world of gambling must be responsible for their gambling activities - no one is perfect when they gamble for the first time, like when I first gambled, I often gambled excessively and didn't manage my bankroll, and then at some point I realized that I had to gamble responsibly because I had learned from my experience.
So for newbies, it's okay to make some mistakes when you first start gambling, but as much as possible improve your gambling and be responsible for it so that your gambling activities will not harm you.

Yes that's true, I can't force all gamblers especially beginners to be careful because if we talk as a whole I think it's completely out of our control, I understand that all experience is gained when you have gone through something first but I would say that the typical beginner gambler you are referring to is those who have absolutely no understanding whatsoever about gambling and they come because they are too focused on winning or I mean most of the beginners come because of the winning opportunities.

I don't care if you come for entertainment purposes but isn't it always a good thing before you  get involved in anything to understand what gambling is all about, especially in terms of the risks? With this then I think there is absolutely no reason to defend yourself and if they don't pay attention to this then maybe I would call them one of the lazy ones.
1345  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to ride and stop! on: January 16, 2024, 08:05:44 PM
I decided to create this topic as a tip to fellow gambler that wants to have a slightly increase chance to win on gambling.

Fella should know when to ride when you are on a win streak. You can test the water first by betting slowly until you get the tempo of winning streak then slowly increase your bet while you are still winning. Stop immediately when you encounter a lose or two because there’s a high chance that you will be tilted and chase loss until you lose everything.

Don’t increase your bet when you are losing because it will just amplify your loss immediately once you are in bad streak. Always test the water before you increase your bet.  Wink

Great!

Many people think that they should do exactly the opposite... never stop playing while they are losing, under the pretext that they need to recover the lost money.
Even worse is when these people use "unbeatable techniques" like the Martingale which in theory should mean that the bettor never loses money... big mistake.

However, I would just like to add to your OP that even during a winning streak you need to stop playing, because depending on the style of play and bet you are making, it is possible to lose in just two moves what was won in 10 or more past plays.
If it is "not possible" to stop playing, then you should at least reduce the amount, returning to the initial contributions, making a reserve of what has already been won.
Everyone has the pattern of gambling that works for them so we don't have to do copy and paste but rather we can try other patterns if they will work for us. Whatever thing we are doing that does not work for us, we better stop it and look for how we can adjust to suit our gambling winnings.
Most mistakes I do avoid is to wanna copy pro traders that had been in the gambling for very long time. This alone can affect us mentally if the pattern we want to copy from them looks different as difficult for us to handle. Their should be a way for us to guage whatever we are doing so that we don't ride too fast to the extend of creating loses for ourselves.

But how to make sure that the pattern is suitable for us? Is it by doing some experiments like for example doing 5x experiments and getting 4x wins, can we make sure that the pattern is suitable for our gambling? but wouldn't it be a very possible thing if you do another 5x experiment and the result is that you get 2x wins? you can try it to prove whether gambling is about applying the right pattern or strategy to get a win or not more than just luck. However I can't be sure that this method will be useful  in gambling, we agree that gambling is an activity that has absolutely no certainty for the end result because it is always about winning and losing, anyone who is involved in gambling then they will be one of the gamblers who will experience these two things in every session they do, it is never known and if indeed strategies or patterns can be applied to gambling then isn't it very easy to become rich?

It seems we have to go back to the  original understanding of the concept of gambling to justify this, which is that this activity is nothing more than a game of chance which means you can lose and you can win. We can't take winning too seriously, because casinos outweigh everything and if we're just a gambler then there's no other way but to keep your gambling activities under control by implementing many precautions.
1346  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Are successful gamblers seen as addicts? on: January 16, 2024, 07:42:32 PM
~snip~
indeed there were many cases when people won a lot of money and could be provided for until the end of their days but continued to play and lost all their fortune, I think big wins are very tempting and the player wants to try his luck again and with a high probability he will lose and later want to win back again .
I knew a person who played poker and became very dependent on it, he was waiting for the day when he would win back, but it never came. As a bonus, he received huge debts and he struggled with addiction for several years as he had constant breakdowns.

Yes, that's the thing.

Many people don't really know when to stop.

After you win big (which is rare), you have the chance to leave in a great position, but most people want more.

And in the process of getting more, they simply lose it all.

It happens to most gamblers, whether in case they get a win or end up losing, there is no word of stopping that they can really do because in gambling there is  absolutely no limit  on when you have to stop and go home, if indeed it can be done easily then it means that humans do not have "greed" in themselves, everyone has greed in themselves but not everyone can control it.

From my point of view, a gambler will be able to leave easily after getting a big win if indeed from  the beginning their goal is not winning or that means they are not too focused on winning but they only focus on activities to fill the time that on the other hand can be enough to entertain  themselves, and in most cases this scenario happens to those who gamble by focusing on winning. It is very clear that their gambling is based on the wrong understanding, someone who has such a goal they will never be satisfied with any amount they get because they will think that "this is a chance and it looks like I can get a much bigger amount", confidence has a big boost in this case, and the fact that winning can make someone forget that gambling is a game of probability which means there is no certainty and anything can be lost in an instant.
1347  Other / Off-topic / Re: Keeping your gambling habit a secret. on: January 16, 2024, 07:24:48 PM
The overall viewpoint of society on gambling activities is negative, not least because they see from the many facts that people end up in bad situations in life as a result of being involved in gambling, although I would say you will still be fine by having the right approach to gambling but still if the public knows that you are involved then they will most likely think that you are one of the people who will be the next victim of this gambling activity.

Therefore I think there is no point in exposing this gambling activity to others especially to people who do not gamble or even who are against gambling activities, because it will only create a bad image from the views of others to you. So of course it's better to just keep it a secret with a note that you must have a good approach in your gambling involvement, because I'm sure all gamblers don't want to end up in a slump as a result of the wrong gambling approach and the other thing is to remain guarded and firm in applying risk management.
1348  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Social aspects of online gambling on: January 16, 2024, 07:04:15 PM
I think it's just a matter of choice, as we know that there are two types of gambling which are online and offline, let's put it simply that if people (gamblers) want their gambling activities to involve socializing with other people then I think it's easy they just have to go to a physical casino where the atmosphere is quite crowded, You can come face to face with other patrons and perhaps build a rapport by chatting to increase your socialization with others or with the aim of making new friends, and if socialization is something you don't really need such as you are an introvert and don't like crowds then obviously you can engage in this type of online gambling by just focusing on your bets and not being bothered by others.

I think it seems that the purpose of online casinos is to balance what the general public needs, it's easier for them and can make gamblers more focused in their gambling involvement, after all I don't think that all gamblers always want to socialize, but yes it's a pretty good idea for online casinos to build active chat facilities with other gamblers, and can make it easier for gamblers who want to gamble with socialization involved to not bother going to physical casinos.
1349  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you pay attention on other people bet and it amount, and does it affect you? on: January 16, 2024, 06:41:09 PM
You simply have to gamble responsibly, you are looking at another guy stake so much money and you are imagining if you can do the same, remember you don't know who that guy is, you don't know how much he earns or how much he is worth, you don't even know if he is just an irresponsible gambler. It is worth mentioning that you should gamble with only money you can afford to lose, don't look at what others are doing, look at yourself only.

I think the situation has a pretty big influence on this issue, when one of your friends is betting at the same time as you and they get a big win then I think it's quite natural if you feel like increasing the number of multipliers in order to get the same win, we are humans usually have the nature of envy and this happens when you are in a situation like that. On the other hand, what is actually more advisable is as you said that we should not follow what others do because you are involved in gambling activities where there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee of any victory.

After all in gambling everyone has a different fate, meaning that the victory achieved by others is very unlikely to happen in terms of victory to you and vice versa because after all gambling is nothing more than a game of "possibilities" that can not necessarily happen, and the advice is to remain yourself and have a good responsibility by only putting the amount you can afford to be responsible for, logically other people will not care about the adverse effects that you experience in gambling activities and you also cannot blame anyone at all, so it's better to do it yourself without following what others do.
1350  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you think gambling every day is better? on: January 16, 2024, 06:22:15 PM

Is there anyone who gambles without doing their proper analysis?
Of course we all need time to properly predict and review our games to place us in a higher chance of winning, we can't just rely on the fact that we knows the teams proper hence we could just place our bet and expect to have winning. It doesn't work like that we must thoroughly go through our games before finally place bet.

There are probably some people out there who are involved in sports betting without doing any analysis, ignorance is one of the main factors in this and I would say this is mostly done by people who are too focused on winning, they do not realize that they do not have a proper understanding of the world of sports along with not knowing about how good the team they choose to bet on is. On the other hand most of the people who choose this type of bet I think are those who like the world of sports in the sense of having at least experience and understanding because skills are needed to increase the winning percentage to be closer, but even so we still can't be sure of the results 100% because obviously it doesn't mean sports betting can make you always win, it's like combining analytical skills with luck, so if at the same time luck doesn't come to complement then obviously it is very possible for the final result to not match what we want. So with this means that risk management is still very much needed because there is still a possibility for risk to occur.
Actually, I don't need to analyze sports betting. Because the gambling sites did the analysis for me. I bet only by feeling and luck. Because the more I analyze, the more confused I become. I know that with careful analysis, the winning rate will increase, but for me, luck is the vital thing in this betting.
If someone is good at analysis, I will bet on that person. For me, time is limited, so I can only do this.

Yes maybe you are one of those people who really don't care what analysis is and just rely on luck, no problem and maybe some other gamblers also do the same thing even though they are involved in sports betting that basically you can do analysis based on the skills and knowledge you have to increase the percentage of winning chances to be closer. I don't think it's too confusing if you're knowledgeable and I would say that it's normal to feel confused if you're not knowledgeable about sports.

But yes I understand that in any type of gambling luck is still very important and cannot be replaced, even if you have very good skills but it absolutely cannot guarantee you to end up winning and that means luck is still needed. And this is why risk management is really important as a precautionary measure.
1351  Economy / Economics / Re: Would you prefer to own a luxury watch or invest in bitcoin or other assets? on: January 16, 2024, 05:14:51 PM
Its just a wrist watch...anyways,how does owning a luxury watch mean to me?like why must I own a luxury watch.....

Its not a bad idea to live well or being able to afford a luxury lifestyle but in most case I've never considered owning a a luxury watch against my  financial situation,,most people prefer to own so many luxury watches than investing.But I'll love to own a collection of such luxury watches and run a business as a side hustle.Isn't that also an investment;owning a collection of high quality and high branded luxury it simply going to be interesting.

I myself think it's just a watch whose function is only to see the time, nothing more.
but this depends on yourself, because there are some who have luxury watches, not just one, but maybe many and indeed perhaps this could be called an investment, but I think if they have many luxury watches it is more directed towards a hobby that where they like to collect luxury watches with high price values.

different from me, when I have a lot of money I don't think I will buy a luxury watch, because someone's quality standards are different, if I prefer to prioritize the function first, I don't argue with those who buy watches at high prices, because that's why their rights, as long as they have enough money to buy it then it doesn't matter, but I myself prefer to invest what I have rather than buying it for a luxury watch that has a high price. And indeed there are people who like to collect old school or luxury items, for no apparent reason they have a high price, so you could call it an investment too.

Usually those who have such collections do so as a hobby. The choices made by people who do not have money problems can be very normal for them. When a rich person wants to make such a collection, they do it.

It is not right for people who don't have enough money to spend on such things. A person may have such a curiosity, but if the economic conditions do not allow such a process, it should not be done.

Yes, this kind of choice will only be taken by people who have absolutely no problems in their finances in the sense of having a very good financial level and more than enough like some billionaires, as I said above that if indeed they are able and there is absolutely no coercion from other parties with a record of their own willingness then obviously there is absolutely nothing to be concerned about because everyone has different choices and has the right or freedom for everything.

Of course as I said earlier that this option is only for those who have very good finances, and it is absolutely not recommended to be done by people who have medium or even below average finances because obviously this will only cause problems with their financial balance, After all I think that even if they have the desire to buy an expensive watch for example but if their financial situation is not favorable then obviously they won't be able to do it unless they overextend themselves and act stupid by borrowing money from one of the services to buy something they want which will basically just cause problems in their finances, and I think this is nothing more than just their dream because I'm sure they realize that they don't have the ability to do something that is done by people who have very good finances.

I would probably behave like you, that is, I would prefer to invest rather than spend like that. As you say, a person who has enough money to buy such a watch is free to do what he wants. It's about preferences and we can all think differently.

In general and overall I understand and I've said before that some luxury items also have a fairly high investment value as do some people who act as collectors, and maybe this is nothing more than a choice, in the sense that everyone has their own choice about whether they will invest by collecting some high-value items such as watches maybe or choose to invest directly in some assets that they trust.
1352  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Drug (cocaine) addicts compromises gambling potentials on: January 16, 2024, 04:52:27 PM
Drugs or other similar intoxicating drugs have a substance that removes memory, consciousness and also by slightly cutting the nerves of brain performance which ultimately makes it really difficult for them to find the best way or decision about the problem they are experiencing, such as the case we are discussing. If he basically likes the act of taking drugs like that or even has been very dependent on drugs with a note that there is a bad feeling or his fitness decreases if he doesn't consume it then I think it's quite reasonable if he takes any action even if it doesn't make sense like trying to make a profit from gambling to finance the purchase of drugs because it's quite difficult to be in a good enough level of consciousness to be able to reach a better decision if he basically has a bad habit that in addition to the impact of these drugs can damage the nerves of the brain.

I think this is a really worrying situation, what concerns me is as you said that he is using gambling as an  alternative to earning money in order to fund other habits. It's like being stuck in a hole and he's digging that hole again which will certainly cause new problems that will make it even more difficult to climb up to save himself.
Drugs, brain-binding chemicals, and judgment-clouding haze. You are right about the neurological impact. These drugs hijack the brain's reward system and change decision-making rules. Drugs affect decision-making, leading to more drugs. This makes gambling a choice and an unavoidable step in a tragic dance.

We must remember the human element. Behind this cycle is a human fighting unknown demons. Gambling to fuel addiction is hazardous and heartbreaking. However, empathy and intervention are needed to address this. In a healthy setting, gambling may be fun and thrilling. This is a cry for aid, a futile attempt to claw out of a pit. Recognising this is the first step to helping, not judging.

Yes of course, as we know and you have also added a few of the adverse effects of drug use that can affect a person's thinking and the main impact will obviously make it difficult for a person to use their mind to the fullest and in a common sense manner or meaning that all the considerations they do are barely based on a good level of awareness so that is what happened to the person we are discussing where he made gambling an alternative to getting money to fulfill or fund his habit in terms of drug consumption.

The fact of the matter is that this is not a way that most thinking or reasoning people would agree with, and it's nothing more than a way that will get a person deeper and deeper into two different problems that will continue to grow worse and worse as time goes on if they can't at least find the awareness to overcome them, either way it's a worrying situation and I'm not sure they'll be able to get out of it on their own and it's certainly true as you say that there should be a helping hand from some people around.
1353  Other / Off-topic / Re: Who does gambling addiction affect the most? on: January 16, 2024, 04:31:21 PM
~snip~
If the addicted gambler is an ordinary member of the family on whom the family is not dependent. Then the effect on the family is much greater than if the head of the family is an addict. Many responsibilities of the family are entrusted to that person. His wife, children, parents are all dependent on him. When he becomes addicted to gambling, his family will not have the normal relationship. As his next generation will suffer as well as his whole family will also suffer. In this case the gambler has more influence on his children than on himself.
Yes, the impact on the family will be much greater if the person experiencing gambling addiction is someone who has a big responsibility towards their family. His family will have financial difficulties because people who have responsibilities cannot carry out their duties because they are addicted to gambling. His family will experience problem after problem, causing the family to fall apart. Children from those families also experience a heavier impact because they will experience mental disorders. After all, they will often see arguments between the adults in the family. Gambling addiction causes more problems for everyone in the family, so people who are addicted to gambling must be cured immediately before the impact spreads further.

Like men who act as the head of the family, obviously if they are suffering from addiction then the first impact that will feel it is their own family besides themselves, as you said that they have a big responsibility for their own family, especially in providing for their children and wife. I think it is clear that the first impact will be a loss of balance in terms of their finances, because the allocation of money for family needs will be disrupted as a result of the allocation of money on gambling activities that they do.

The first thing they will experience is probably financial problems and after that it will spread to other things such as the quarrels that you said, this is something that has a high probability of happening in the family if their father as the person who has full responsibility for supporting his family members is involved in gambling or becomes one of the addicted gamblers, And the bad thing is that they will most likely separate or divorce because they are not strong with the weak finances that certainly cannot meet the needs of the family, honestly not infrequently I see cases like this in the local news and so the point is gambling is your starting point to really experience a lot of problems if you do not have the right approach.
1354  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Know when to stop on: January 16, 2024, 04:01:13 PM
Ideally, stop if you feel you're not confident in playing gambling because if you are not mentally prepared possibly make unnecessary decisions during the game, if you keep playing and the outcome is not good it is ideal to stop or take a break again every too much playing can be exhausting, luck and wins is not always with us there's a time you will experience those red days of losses. Get back when you are confident, call it for a day and reset if you want to play again.

True, taking a break from gambling is always recommended because it is an activity that involves one's mental and psychological state, but the problem is that lust and emotions override everything or that means controlling themselves even though they are exhausted. I think most gamblers will not admit that they are not prepared in any way such as mentally, their main focus is only on winning so it goes beyond their common sense and awareness and in the end as I said above that emotions will act for a decision that they will do without any consideration at the beginning.

The fact is that it is not easy or even very difficult to stay at the level of consciousness when you are gambling, as I said earlier that the main factor that causes it is too focused on winning, I told you about the scenario of most gamblers who have difficulty stopping even though losing dominates. So I think they will be able to take all the precautions if they come with the right understanding of gambling or change their point of view to something more correct and based on the facts that happen more often in gambling.
1355  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling is not a means to an end, Do it for fun and don't take it as a job on: January 15, 2024, 02:54:14 PM

Everyone is of concern in this, because anybody could be a victim; rich or poor. Battling with a problem is not cool for the human brain and behavior. It's necessary for gamblers to understand that their status doesn't change the problem. A rich person can get addicted and divorce his productivity at work. Wouldn't it affect his wealth on the long run? it's not certain if all the rich people would be able to struggle out of addiction successfully. Money can do everything, but we all need time to heal. Without time nobody gets better or worse on what they do. Since gamblers need time to adjust and understand gambling, a naive rich player can get himself into trouble during the early stages. Given time he'd begin to get better or worse.

Of course it will also be difficult to understand gambling. If it were easy, I'm sure there would be lots of people who would become rich by gambling. Of course the gambling provider has updates and always changes the probabilities all the time to make gambling more interesting and fair. And not everyone will understand each of these changes, they need to adapt again and observe again so that the chances of winning are higher than losing. Again and again, rich and poor will remain the same, except for the expert gambler.

I think on the other hand the real fact is that gambling is not a place for anyone to get rich, but most of the gamblers carry this goal, they want instant wealth in gambling and this is wrong, there is absolutely no correct understanding of what gambling really is. In my opinion, understanding gambling will in no way affect your success in being able to get a lot of winnings, but this understanding is only intended to keep you safe and not experience many adverse effects from your wrong gambling activities.

As you understand that gambling is a game of probability exactly as you said and by understanding that it means that there is absolutely no certainty and guarantee of any victory, the fact is that no matter how good you are, if you are involved as a player then obviously there will only be two answers in the final result between winning or losing, so try not to put any hope in gambling especially assuming to achieve wealth, it is nothing more than a ridiculous idea I think. On the other hand you must understand that in gambling the winning percentage will always be much lower than losing and this is also the reason why more gamblers lose than win, because after all this is a business for casinos to make profits from losing gamblers, and I would say that you can get a higher chance of winning until you can reach wealth then you have to become a bookie yourself and own a casino, this makes more sense.

Bayern Leverkusen still maintains the best consistent team in times of performance on this Bundesliga, actually this season has been so favourable for them unlike there other seasons they use to have some difficulties in performance, however they were able to maintain there unbeaten record on this league, so honestly I'm actually impress to see that Bayern Leverkusen has played so many matches with a lot of wining but have not loss any match what a good record. Perhaps in times of wining the league they are the right candidate for that because in as much as Bayern Munich has an impressive performance doesn't mean that they have an upper chance of wining the league more than Bayern Leverkusen, so if Leverkusen continues this way they will become the champion.
Bayern Munich is gradually running to meeting up with the rave to the top of the table and it's something Leverkusen have to be weary of staying at the top of the table considering how much Munich has fought this season to maintain their spot and dominance on the table and around the whole bundesliga.

Bayern Munich since the beginning of this second half  of the season, have been showing some good performance and form so they may have at the back of their mind to getting back their dominance by winning all of their forth coming games and Bayern Leverkusen as well have to make sure they are piling up points enough to keep them at the top of the table and making sure they are able to maintain their form and win the trophy by the end of the season so as to bring to dawn a new era of another team winning the bundeliga title and aswell dominating the bundeligs this season.
Bayern Munich is still under Leverkusen and waiting for Leverkusen to slip from its position, Bayern Munich is trying to keep winning and doesn't want to widen the gap with Leverkusen because Bayern Munich still wants to dominate the Bundesliga title. Bayern Munich doesn't want another club to break its dominance, therefore Bayern Munich continues to appear consistent up to now but unfortunately Leverkusen is much more consistent and has not suffered a defeat so Bayern Munich is having difficulty occupying the top of the standings.

Since the start of the season, Bayern Munich has always shown good performance until now, but because Leverkusen is still consistent and has not experienced defeat, therefore, Bayern Munich has not been able to occupy first place and Bayern Munich is only trying to put pressure on Leverkusen in second place, so Leverkusen is still firmly at the top with their outstanding performance this season.

Yes and now they have a difference of 4 points, on the other hand I think Leverkusen really have a strong determination to break the dominance of Bayern Munich, we can see they have extraordinary consistency in maintaining their position at the top of the standings by not wasting any opportunity, for the stronghold of Bayern Munich itself it is clear and it is certain that they do not want to lose the dominance of the title they have maintained for a long time and obviously with this very tight competition it makes the season look more interesting, I see this situation as when last season where Bayern Munich competed closely with Dortmund which in the end still Bayern Munich had luck above average which made Dortmund waste the decisive match at the end of the season, honestly I am quite worried that in the end Leverkusen could have the same fate as Dortmund last season.

Yes as we know that Bayern Munich always start the season well like the team we always favor, they are still very good but maybe we see there is an unusual appearance from the middle team that really never expected before, namely Leverkusen, on the other hand what is very unfortunate in my opinion is when Bayern Munich suffered a crushing defeat against Frankfurt in the previous few matches, if only they could get the full three points then the point difference with Leverkusen now would not be too far away.

Anyway, it is true that joining sports betting won't spend a lot of time. But we need enough time to analyze the possibility for the matches. No one just places their bets without analysis. If it happens, the chance to win will be very small and we only rely on the luck. So, to increase the chance to win, we usually make certain analysis deeply.
Is there anyone who gambles without doing their proper analysis?
Of course we all need time to properly predict and review our games to place us in a higher chance of winning, we can't just rely on the fact that we knows the teams proper hence we could just place our bet and expect to have winning. It doesn't work like that we must thoroughly go through our games before finally place bet.

There are probably some people out there who are involved in sports betting without doing any analysis, ignorance is one of the main factors in this and I would say this is mostly done by people who are too focused on winning, they do not realize that they do not have a proper understanding of the world of sports along with not knowing about how good the team they choose to bet on is. On the other hand most of the people who choose this type of bet I think are those who like the world of sports in the sense of having at least experience and understanding because skills are needed to increase the winning percentage to be closer, but even so we still can't be sure of the results 100% because obviously it doesn't mean sports betting can make you always win, it's like combining analytical skills with luck, so if at the same time luck doesn't come to complement then obviously it is very possible for the final result to not match what we want. So with this means that risk management is still very much needed because there is still a possibility for risk to occur.

Let's discuss your gambling PC preference. Your point is valid. PC gambling is more stable and less obtrusive. Gambling at a PC requires discipline. It's not as quick as pulling out your phone. Better processing power reduces lag, creating a more controlled environment. However, the platform doesn't prevent addiction. It's about responsible gaming on any device. Responsible gambling requires limits and knowing when to quit

After getting into this discussion, I honestly see that people do make PCs the best alternative to switching from cell phones as a precaution so that cases like the OP's do not happen to us, yes maybe it's true and I you make PCs as an alternative, you have mentioned some of the advantages such as faster processing and more controllable because these devices are much more powerful and superior than cell phones, but maybe the problem is that you won't be able to fully utilize the advantages of this type of online casino which basically makes it easier for gamblers to play anytime and anywhere, you might only be able to play at home, and what about some people who don't have a PC at home? Obviously they won't be able to follow this idea and will probably stick to gambling on their phones despite the concerns that things like the problems the OP mentioned could happen.

 The other thing is that of course you are right that whatever device they use has absolutely nothing to do with the possible adverse effects of gambling such as addiction, it is more directed and dependent on how they treat and respond to their gambling activities, if they can take good care of their gambling activities in the sense of having good responsibility and being able to control everything then obviously the potential possibility of addiction will not be too great.

There is nothing wrong with planning to get money from gambling but don't expect too much to always win because in fact gambling is completely dependent on luck, making gambling as a source of income is indeed riskier because it is like doing work, even though there are other jobs that provide a definite salary while the profits gambling is uncertain. In each casino game there are different opportunities to make a profit, but actually the way it works is the same, namely relying on luck, if you are not lucky then you will be faced with a loss.

And it is true that gambling is always profitable, of course there are many gamblers who are rich because they can make a profit just by relying on luck. But the public seems to already understand how gambling works so there are some gamblers who are not really involved with income from gambling so they just take advantage of it time by gambling without thinking about profits.

One shouldn't really depend on gambling as his main income. Gambling is risky. It has a lot of consequences when you lose control, winning isn't guaranteed, and therefore income isn't as secured as having a stable job to pay for your bills and to buy food. If you will engage in gambling, make sure to only do it moderately and responsibly. You don't want to lose all your money in a snap because you deposited it in a casino website thinking you could double or even triple it overnight. There's no such thing as instant money. If you will have to resort in gambling as your side hustle to make additional income, be sure to be knowledgeable first. You need to have what it takes to be successful in gambling such as determination, information, skills, strategies, and luck. Otherwise, your money will be gone in a blink of an eye.

Exactly, basically gambling is not a place to earn but only a risky game of chance activity and as a feedback is that you have the possibility to get a prize (winnings) if you are lucky, this is the understanding that really should be applied to most gamblers especially newcomers, because usually a beginner is still very vulnerable to knowledge and they don't really understand what gambling is and what the level of risk is, I see that on average they come with the excuse of seeing the opportunity to win so if this understanding is not correct then obviously it doesn't take long for them to end up addicted and suffer from its bad effects.

Another thing is that I also often see scenarios like this happen to those who have weak finances or mean financial crisis and their goal is to come to get a win in order to improve their finances, it is very ridiculous and from this I can already conclude that there are quite a lot of factors that influence a person to get involved in gambling and one of them is due to weak finances in a person's life but they instead create new problems by making gambling an alternative to making money which is precisely the starting point of a big disaster. On the other hand as you said if one wants to be successful or okay in gambling then they must have some preparation such as skills, experience, information, determination and strategy, honestly I will not bring the word "luck" here because obviously this is not something that can be learned.

Growth mindset= Mature people
Fixed mindset= Immature people

Most of the time, people will never grow because of their ego and pride. They always wanted to be the star of the show, they don't want to be the wrong, they are always right. In short, they are the most annoying people you'll ever find. These kind of people will only mature to a growth mindset when something terrible happened to their lives, they will start listening to other's advices and opinions.
A person with a fixed mindset will barely be able to adapt to changes and try to change themselves, their lives, or the way they do things because they don't feel comfortable trying new things and having new experiences. They tend to lead a simple life with easy things that don't require them to challenge themselves or their abilities because they are too afraid of losses and they think that they will get humiliated if they challenge themselves and don't come out at the other end as a winner.

Such kind of people will always have a hard time achieving a lot of success in life, and they have no issues with this. They think they have everything they need and they don't want to change or upgrade their life and lifestyle. It sounds odd but such people exist and we can see them living with us, in our society or neighborhood.

I agree with that, also those who have a fixed mindset I think they are afraid to step up so most of them are already in their comfort zone they are reluctant to step forward, even though I am sure they also want development for themselves, especially financially after all there is nothing wrong with trying new things, even though there are risks but at least it is a natural thing and like you said maybe they are difficult to adapt to a new environment.

yes there are people like this in my neighborhood, they always talk about what developments they should make to change their lives, but with the many suggestions they receive from friends or other people, they don't take any action and just do the things they usually do.  i think it will be difficult for them to change for the better because they are already stuck in a zone that makes them comfortable. and i think you are right, people like this may find it difficult to achieve success even for themselves.
