Whether you do like it or not, you would really be passing up into that condition or situation on which there would really comes a time that you would really be that semi-addicted with gambling even if we do say that you are really having that good self control on which there would really be a time that you would really be that eager on trying to catch up those wins even if it means that you would be needing to bet or deposit more money. It is really just that depending on how you do able to control yourself into this kind of situation. It is really normal though since we are just humans and if on the time that you cant really be able to control yourself then this is where issues and problems would really be starting to show up. So its better that you shouldnt really be waiting for this time to come.
almost all gamblers can become addicted, it's just that they already have every way to avoid their addiction and the biggest opportunity for a gambler to become addicted is those who always come every day to gamble even though they say this is just for fun but believe me in the long term they can become addicted like what you said. however, for gamblers who come only in their free time or on holidays, the potential for addiction is certainly smaller because they won't constantly think about gambling, but for gamblers who gamble every day, they will always be curious about everything that triggers their minds to keep trying to bet.

and all this is about self control as you said but if self control without strong commitment will definitely be very difficult but for professional gamblers who are not addicted they always have a big commitment and can always get small profits from skill based games and avoid games luck based.
1362  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Can Gambling affect your relationship? on: December 27, 2023, 10:28:22 AM
Gambling can destroy your relationship when your partner notice that you are addicted gambler, if you are a someone that plays gambling with a precautions and hind it to your family you never have a misunderstanding with your partner or with your family, many people seems gamblers or whosoever that plays gambling as irresponsible person, but that is a fatal lies because gambling can not change your character except its a situation whereby you alone gambling to penetrate into your lifestyle and initiate another way, their is no educated person that gamble beyond its monthly and weekly income, so what causes issues in family or relationship towards gambling is when you are not meeting up with provision of your family and you divert the funds to gamble, so that is only thing that brings issues between partner towards gambling
this is the real problem point.
as a man, it is our responsibility to support his family and if we want to gamble, it won't be a problem as long as it doesn't affect the economy or our daily needs and we are able to manage our finances well. if we really want to gamble, try to find a side job that can make more money than your target every month and if that is successful we do it, make sure we only spend 2-5% of our monthly income on gambling and so far it has been going well without any problems and we can afford it. managing well, the relationship with our partner will definitely not be damaged and everything will be fine, even if a man's income is always good without any problems, a partner will definitely allow her husband to gamble.

most important thing is to give confidence to your partner with good behavior and a strong commitment if you are able to gamble responsibly and I am sure your partner will allow it.
1363  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Does casino streamers have influence in your gambling life? on: December 27, 2023, 08:40:14 AM

I am not influenced by watching the videos they make because I know that they are doing their job to get the audience interested in playing at the casinos they promote.
Videos that show how easily players can win with the tricks required in the game can only be won by them, not us.

I'm just entertained when videos like that appear on the homepage of the YouTube platform and other social media platforms that I own. The feeling of trying to do something like what was in the video never appeared.

Well, you can watch gambling streamers , but never expect the same wins. Whatever is in front of us will always be different from what other people get. This is not about whether he gets privileges from the casino to win easily, or whether their luck is better when gambling. But, on the positive side, perhaps by paying attention to them, we can better understand how we should decide to play, especially for a long time in each gambling session.
more precisely, each person has a different level of luck, even though the streamers we see look like they always win or always win large amounts, it's just someone else's luck that we can see and even though we will try several times if we are not lucky, the results will definitely be different. and on the one hand, streamers like this should only be considered as an entertaining spectacle, not considered to influence our gambling and for me, only gamblers who have no control can be influenced by these streamers. however, if someone does this occasionally in their gambling history it is very normal because they may not have experience and I myself have done the same thing but after getting this experience we will definitely know that everything the streamers do they only entertain us and they are also looking for the benefits of doing this and we as viewers will provide income for them because we have watched the broadcast.

what is certain is that we should not take everything that is broadcast on social media too seriously because sometimes it can be deceptive.
1364  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The madness of gambling addicts. on: December 27, 2023, 06:53:00 AM
How bad it would be if someone had experienced greed in gambling, because this behavior would lead him into big problems in his life and if he continues to be greedy then his life will get worse in the future.
It is quite clear that greed is something that is excessive, whereas in gambling, doing something excessive will have negative impacts such as addiction which will destroy a person's future.
In fact, sometimes on casino sites it says "gamble responsibly" meaning that the gambling establishment wants its customers to gamble responsibly without spending large amounts of money or only using money they can afford to lose and are not advised to chase losses or wins.

meanwhile, negative impacts such as addiction can give rise to bad behavior such as stealing or robbing when you no longer have the budget to gamble and currently crimes that occur due to gambling addiction are increasing greatly and I'm sure you know the increase in these crimes when interrogated you always say that you are forced to steal only to gamble.
well, this is an example of the madness of gambling addicts, they are capable of doing anything to fulfill their addictive desires.
1365  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Quit gamble! Easy or Hard? Let's talk. on: December 27, 2023, 05:53:01 AM
Gambling sites are built and developed to make money, they offer various profit bonuses and also very good marketing to attract the interest of gamblers, this is why errors in understanding occur in the minds of every gambler.
this means that it is hard or easy to stop gambling depending on our mindset, right?
Indeed, logically that is true because we will bear all the responsibilities ourselves, so whatever happens, even if the casino offers a tempting promotional offer, of course, as experienced gamblers, they will not be tempted by things like that because they already know and have experience in getting promotional bonuses. It's not an easy thing so dont be tempted at all.

and on the one hand, if all gamblers have a healthy mind and know how gambling works, it will be very easy for anyone to stop gambling because they gamble just for fun and only come once a week or once a month. so gamblers like this will never have difficulty limiting themselves, stopping gambling and choosing to live a healthy life without gambling, even though there are lots of casino promotional advertisements, they still have a very strong commitment.

Real Betis also fought well against Girona. This can be considered Betis' success. Real Madrid injured very important players and their treatment is still continuing. For example, Arda Güler, one of the young stars, still could not find a single minute of opportunity. Vinicius' injury disrupted all plans. Despite this, they are still leaders. This is Ancelotti's success that should be congratulated.
This season there are only a few teams capable of troubling Real Madrid in La Liga, the rest do not include Girona and Barcelona. Real Madrid has really shown its quality and experience in La Liga this season even though many of its players have suffered injuries. They actually have problems that really need to be resolved, but so far Real Madrid has been able to keep the line safe without much pressure.

Girona, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have not been able to compete with Real Madrid this season even though Girona has the same points as Madrid. But of course, Real Madrid has a lot of weaknesses due to injuries to its main players so I really get them struggling not to drop points in their last few games.
several teams below Real Madrid have not been able to compete with the strength of Ancelotti troops, it's just that some of these teams have become challengers or made it difficult for Madrid to maintain the top of the standings. even though several players are injured, we all know that Ancelotti has no shortage of players, even reserve players who have the same performance as the main players, such as Joselu, who has replaced Vinicius several times, can perform well, making a very strong contribution and even being able to score in several matches and match times against Alaves at that time, they only competed with the available players after Nacho was forced to leave the field because he received a red card but was still able to win.
this means that no matter how bad the situation is, this team is still able to continue to be at the top of the standings using reserve players.

If Vinicius is not injured and Real Madrid succeeds in bringing in a reliable striker, Girona will definitely be eliminated quickly because in fact, Girona is not a strong team, they just have luck because they take advantage of the situation when the top teams are focusing on the UCL and we'll see later, I'm sure the UCL will be there. get by Madrid and also the La Liga title.
1367  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips to avoid compulsive thoughts related to anxiety on: December 27, 2023, 04:31:36 AM
If this anxiety occurs because of gambling, of course the person experiencing this anxiety already knows the center of problem so it will be easier to seek help to cure this anxiety, but they still need help from professionals to provide  best advice.
I'm not sure what is meant by anxiety here, but what I understand is that this is situation where gamblers feel anxious thinking about gambling, fear or whatever, which quickly changes their thoughts for the worse and in the long term, if not immediately recovered, the anxiety can make their physical health worse.

like what I experienced at that time maybe this is little different but for me this is almost the same as few weeks ago I felt anxious about life and this anxiety caused stomach acid which ultimately made my thoughts more complicated and I discovered the problem and went to a psychology specialist to get help to cure this anxiety and always try to have healthy lifestyle.

maybe the advice from my experience is little off but for me it same because its about anxiety.
1368  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: How many hours is the best time for a gambler to last while gambling? on: December 27, 2023, 04:07:34 AM
from my experience, there are many factors that influence how long gamblers stay in gambling and most important thing is that it usually all depends on the desires and goals of each gambler.

I often place bets beforehand on slot game, poker and roulette. usually I spend 1 hour to bet on one of these games and it all depends on situation if losing streak I will stop rather than force a bet it better the budget I have to bet next day but if winning streak comes I once spent about 3 hours on a game roulette But as you said, the longer you gamble, the more you lose.
this assumption makes sense because the longer you stay in one of the games, the house edge will beat the gamblers.

but for now, after I feel bored of betting on casino game for at least 10-15 minutes, I feel bored and choose to bet on sports betting without having to waste too much time and choose to do a side job.
1369  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024 on: December 27, 2023, 03:55:32 AM
EPL sometimes is just funny because I can't see that force Burnley had against Fulham that they beat them 0-2 but could not get single shot on target against Liverpool, like what's going on with Burnley? I was expecting Burnley to make things very hard for Liverpool because that win over Fulham should have given them that motivation to even get at least a goal and make the Liverpool goalkeeper to be busy.
Klopp and his boys had 95% of the ball and I was expecting to see Liverpool bring that style they played against Arsenal. I believe if Liverpool continue with this same style of play, I don't see them getting close to the top 2 or even winning the league, the performance was too poor against a struggling Burnley.
Isn't this a normal condition when a surprise comes for a small team at the bottom of the standings and Burnley victory at that time was lucky because Fulham made a mistake and surprises won't come twice like today which was defeated by Liverpool and this is a natural incident because Burnley the team that is in bottom of the standings without having strong performance while Liverpoo has much stronger performance than Burnley.

In this season, if we understand it, it's a bit ridiculous that a team like Man City has dropped to 5th place, whereas above Man City there is a team that is actually not very strong and has unstable consistency. It's just that when Man City experienced a decline, the 3 teams above them no longer had strong opponents so they could appear a little more consistent and Liverpool achievements are likely to put strong pressure on Arsenal because so far they have tried but Liverpool has surprisingly also improved their performance.
competition becoming more competitive and it very interesting to continue to see developments in the EPL.
1370  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Germany League - Bundesliga Prediction Thread on: December 27, 2023, 03:01:47 AM
I think what will keep the rivalry alive are the matches between Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich. The scores in these matches will directly affect the championship. In addition, the performance of teams such as Frankfurt and Dortmund, which can prevent them, will also be decisive. I would like Bayer Leverkusen to win. The championship needs a change now.

I think that indeed the biggest hurdle for Leverkusen for the moment is to get back out of the Christmas break and win the first game against Augsburg. The interruption seldomly benefits teams like Leverkusen when they are running like clockwork. If they can get out of the break and instantly beat Augsburg, it would be so important for the rest of the season. Psychologically I am a bit afraid because Bayern starts into the second half of the season with a home game, which they are unlikely to tie or lose. This could create some negative momentum, but of course I hope for Leverkusen to continue with their impressive performances.
even though I really like Bayern Munich, I support Leverkusen and will not doubt this team to be able to compete with Munich to maintain first position at the top of the standings even though in the next few matches Munich is always ahead because they are competing at home to secure additional points but Leverkusen will not give up and will also get victory in the upcoming match.
Augsburg for me will not be too strong against Leverkusen even though in the past it has been beaten twice by Augsburg but the current condition of the team is different. Leverkusen is much better and even the top teams have been defeated.
there is no need to hesitate, we just need to support Leverkusen to continue to maintain its position so that the bundesliga remains a competitive league when both teams compete for the top of the standings and hopefully Leverkusen can be more consistent as usual.

Al Nasr, who played away, won the match, which featured a goal duel between Al Ittihat and Al Nasr, 2-5. Ronaldo scored two penalty goals in this match. While the match continued in a 2-2 draw, Al Ittihat's Fabinho received a red card in the 66th minute, which changed the course of the match. In the 68th minute, Ronaldo put his team ahead 2-3 with a penalty goal. Sadio Mane, who came on stage after these goals, scored 2 points and Al Nasr finished the match with a 2-5 victory. With this victory, Al Nasr increased its points to 43 and reduced the point difference with Al Hilal to 7. Al Hilal has a big advantage for the championship. So far, no team has been able to defeat Team Al Hilal.
Al Nassr three mainstay players were able to give a very good performance, even my prediction was wrong because I thought Ittihad would win like before but it turned out that Al Nassr was able to take revenge after being defeated in the past.
maybe if Ronaldo not get a penalty chance, it looks like he won't be able to score or even get an assist and also maybe if the Ittihad player doesn't commit a foul he gets a red card, score will definitely only be 2-3 and that very dangerous because Ittihad could have held a draw but he's very lucky. Al Nassr was able to beat Ittihad with big score.
1372  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Lack of proper knowledge on casino games increases chance of loss and reduce fun on: December 26, 2023, 08:47:06 PM
why do you feel disappointed, mate? it is a very valuable experience to give you knowledge about the game and let's just say you are paying for your own valuable experience.

the condition you are experiencing is very normal, but if you dont know how to play the game, use a small amount of money and if you keep losing, stop your betting session and see what the pattern of the game is. like I often entered slot games in the past before leaving slot games I often entered new types of games that were released and I didn't know how the game pattern was I used a small amount of money to see the game pattern and buy bonus spins to see how to get scatter.
and another example, the first time I played roulette, I also experienced the same thing as you, but I didn't continue to place bets, occasionally I learned how to make a profit without having to choose a number on the roulette board and finally from these losses I gained experience and knowledge and also never had a winning streak.

so you dont need to be disappointed and just think of it as a good experience for yourself and my advice is dont always bet or stop occasionally and learn the pattern of the game.
1373  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: In The Span Of six months what will make you trust a new casino on: December 26, 2023, 08:32:28 PM
of these options there is no guarantee that the casino will continue to run without problems because some time ago there were casinos that ended up being fraudulent.
but even so, at least 2 of these choices make me a little confident that the casino is worth using because with an active representative we will never be afraid that if a problem occurs we can always solve it through the representative and on the one hand, all of this must be supported by reviews or good reputation from other customers so these two options can provide some confidence but will not deposit large amounts before the casino has been running for a few years.

I'm sure most of the people on this forum will say the same thing because they always prioritize reputation and also responsive representatives in the gambling section. many new gambling companies have active representatives, but after the casino grows bigger, these representatives become lazier and dont seem to want to reply quickly.
what is certain is that as long as the casino reputation is good, it will be worth using for fun.
1374  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: A Gambling Affiliate Program Problem on: December 26, 2023, 08:18:10 PM
this is a normal condition because the profit from affiliates that you will get depends on how you convince many people to register using your referral link and the more you get new customers, of course your income will be bigger and on the one hand it all depends on how big it is. these new customers bet even though you only have 5 new customers but by betting large amounts you will definitely get big results.
If you are an affiliate, you should know how to convince potential new customers out there to try the casino you are promoting and I'm sure you can definitely get lots of new customers and you won't regret it like this.

even though I'm not an affiliate, I understand a little about how affiliates work so I keep trying to get new customers because this way the opportunity to get big profits becomes more certain.
1375  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: The shorter the time you spend the better on: December 26, 2023, 07:57:35 PM
-snip

The only important aspect of shorting the time we spend on gambling is the need to rethink our next gambling moves. Because a player who gambles for a long time wouldn't be able to think of his mistakes.
well, this is a very correct understanding.
as a gambler, we should be able to think and manage our finances in gambling, such as gambling responsibly and stopping at the right time and continuing the next day using the remaining budget from the previous one. but all of this depends on the self control of each gambler because if a gambler is just having fun they will definitely not continue their betting session when they lose several times or value the money they have in gambling more. but for gamblers who think about profits, they will ignore what if their budget runs out and the next day they can't gamble anymore because in their minds they are only profits.
so all of this still requires good self control and an understanding of gambling is very important to be able to limit yourself from continuing to bet as you say.
1376  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should security be employed in local bet shop? on: December 26, 2023, 07:38:28 PM
For those persons who prefer gambling in local bet shops instead of gambling online. I know that most times some persons carry huge sums of money to come to gamble and I understand that if it was a local casino there would be securities. Now, in the local bet shop, why are there no securities? I know a local bet shop close to where I reside. There are no securities there and there are people who act strange and mentally unstable there. They could cause fights, noise, and cheat. So for other persons to feel safe betting there I think securities should be employed there.
what I know is that every physical casino actually has security which is usually provided to address customer concerns as you said and not only in large casinos but in small casinos they usually have security to guard against unwanted things.
but I wonder why the casino near your house doesn't provide security? or maybe you dont know if security is placed behind you?
usually security is not always stationed at the front of casino but there is one in the casino or at the back and will come when needed. It is very unlikely that a casino does not have security and it really dangerous in the long term because a crime could occur in casino.

casinos are always filled with people who have money and if the casino does not provide security of course that will be a big question because if a crime occurs who will secure the situation? meanwhile, this must be really paid attention to because otherwise it will endanger the future of the casino.q
1377  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Should mentally unstable people be allowed to gamble? on: December 26, 2023, 07:08:24 PM
the question is why would someone build a gambling business?
well, to this question there is an answer if it is about income. I mean gambling is built to make a profit and as long as someone who enters the casino does not do evil or disturb other gamblers and is also able to pay for his own gambling it is not a problem.
because I understand that all of that is a risk for the person even though he is mentally or physically unstable but if he knows the etiquette like entering a casino you have to pay and he also spends money on his gambling that's normal for me as long as it doesn't make him worse it seems like that does not matter.

but logically, we as sane people would definitely have the idea that the man was actually not allowed to gamble because mentally it was very pitiful, but however, as long as there are no rules, the casino has the right to allow anyone to gamble as long as they use money they can afford to lose.
1378  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: It is you who can't stop betting. on: December 26, 2023, 07:00:36 PM
more precisely, gambling simply provides a place to seek pleasure and if gamblers have entered into gambling it means they already know all the risks and have full control over everything they do.
so the title of your thread is very correct if addiction is a result of being irresponsible for gambling because you cannot control yourself and cannot control your thought patterns so that gambler becomes addicted because of his own behavior which wrongly considers gambling to be too excessive. gambling will never go wrong because they only provide facilities for having fun and all the risks are borne by each gambler.

on the one hand, many gamblers become addicted in just a few days and its all because of a wrong understanding of gambling. If only they didn't think too much about gambling, they definitely wouldn't be addicted and there are also a lot of gamblers who aren't addicted because they dont understand too much how to do it. gambling work and only bet small amounts without placing any hope in gambling.
1379  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1) on: December 26, 2023, 10:47:47 AM
This match is still quite a long way off, about 2 weeks away, but that's okay, we'll start discussing it. Here, Monaco is not only favored because it is in a better position, but home advantage also greatly influences its victory later. Seeing the odds given by the bookie is a strong reason for us to bet on Monaco and the chances of Reims losing are very large.

Maybe we will see these two teams continuing to attack each other and no one doing full defense considering that both teams need 3 points to move forward. Monaco's target is to overtake Nice and Reims' target is to occupy 5th place and I think the match will be quite tough. But I can't deny that Monaco will win and it will definitely be a narrow victory for Monaco considering that Reims has a pretty strong defense.
we have to be careful before betting on this match because the match is still long and there is something doubtful in this match even though Monaco favored in this match because it is the host but Reims could hold a draw.
I admit that Reims has pretty good performance in defense but the attack line can also improve when facing a team that can be beaten than before because every team has weaknesses and on the one hand playing at home does not necessarily provide a guarantee of winning the match and I dont I will predict from h2h data but I will only look at the performance the previous few matches when Monaco played at home against Lyon but in fact Monaco lost and with this incident, are we going to speculate if Monaco will win?

well, its better to bet when the match is approaching the start because there are still many changes that will occur and if it's just speculation, I think the match will end in draw.
1380  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: December 26, 2023, 10:31:52 AM
It seems we are going to see Saudi teams start raiding the top European teams and buying more players from these teams with the huge money they usually offer.
During last summer many players joined these teams but there is a limit for the Saudis and they can only use eight foreign players in their teams.
Now according to the news from the Telegraph, they want to increase the number of foreign players to ten.

This is excellent news. Rising the limit from 8 to 10 is a welcome step. When European teams were getting players from all around the world, no one was complaining about it. But now, when the Saudis are doing the same the European media is going ballistic. In the end, I believe that Saudi Professional League is beneficial not just for the players, but also for global football. By taking a number of players away from the European leagues, they are creating more opportunities for younger players in Europe.
In the past, perhaps the SPL was too neglected and underestimated, but after everything developed into something bigger, with extraordinary effort and effort from the SPL, it succeeded in giving confidence to european players not to hesitate to join several teams in the SPL and it has been proven that several reliable players from europe accepted it. every offer submitted by several teams here and as time goes by the SPL will become bigger and become part of the biggest football after europe and with this there will be many players who are willing to accept big offers from SPL teams in the long term we will see developments which is greater than this even after entering the UCL list.
but this all started with arrival of Ronaldo and several other players such as Benzema and Neymar.
after this we will see how many european players will come to expand the SPL name to become more popular.
