This is actually common with individuals who have Anger issues And those who cannot control their emotions.speaking about the senario you narrated Above It is very clear that the man is one those who believwd that there is sure game And they will go about staking small Odds with huge amount of money .the only thing that I have seen in life that is very certain is death because It is price that every human being  ought to pay. But trying To tell me that a particular game is sure I will sincerely see you as a clown And many Gamblers have become victim of that .

More still , talking about the amount he lost , just like I said in My Precious post please do not State any amount that you cant afford To lose, I learnt this approach while trading crypto I have never risked a huge amount that I will end up regretting while trading crypto And IT help me alot And I decided To try It in My gambling life And it worked for me Too.breaking his television shows that he is a violent gambler And If he had placed that bet In a casino house probably he would have caused a problem or probably fight someone while trying To ease is anger.

Poka I guess playing of card games  are actually considered illegal as you have just said and they might be arrested by the police if seen in the act because the way I see them behave actually shows that something is wrong, some looked very restless .

However, on the area of my curiosity I sincerely appreciate your advice and I have actually learned my lessons from your words , because I might  have landed myself into trouble if any of the enforcement agencies like the police had mistakenly seen us together because their is virtually nothing to justify my innocence that I am not one of them considering the hidden spot .Thanks a lot for the good advice .

Op your opinion is not bad but making gambling a few time job might be misleading because one cannot actually survive by predicting games all the time.

However, it will be nice to rather say that one can actually make out something useful from gambling and start up something reasonable. For instance if a gambler learns how to control his emotions and knows the need for money management he can actually start something with gambling .Money management here implies on how the gambler invest the money he or she makes from gambling ,if a gambler wins a huge amount of money he or she can invest by starting up a small scale  business to earn a living rather depending on daily gambling  as a full time job .

Lastly  , gambling is not a career and I have never seen any portfolio that bears gambling as an occupation or a means for livelihood.

Op this idea of sure match prediction is actually funny to me , I have been seen people pay money to get bet codes with the mindset that the match is sure , this sound very confusing to me sometimes because I know that man is naturally greedy and his quest for money is unimaginable. Op the truth is that if you actually know that the match is going to be sure as proposed you will not bring the news here because I guess you need money too and same applies to your friends as well.

Risk is an uncertain tendency of loss , no one can predict tomorrow or the next minute , we only predict it and wait for a probable result whether negative or positive (outcome).every prediction is based on luck and the reason why it is called prediction is because it is not certain , however, if it is certain then it’s no longer prediction.

I was walking down my street this evening I saw some group of guys in a hidden corner of an uncompleted building playing WHOT games ordinarily I felt they are just spending usual time as friends and that they are playing the WHOT game to keep themselves busy while discussing.

But when I got closer to them I discovered that there was a dirty container close to them and inside the container is money they bet for the game they are playing , and if not careful observed you will never believe that they are playing bet games .

My curiosity led me closer to them I was interacting with one of them and at same time observing what they are doing , one thing I observed was that they stake with huge amount and they don’t give you change even when your money requires change instead you will use it and bet for another round.

So at this point I decided to bring it here to know or see different views from different intellects here on why do some people hide just to gamble or if it is the best way to gamble ?.

From my own point of view both of them have advantages and disadvantages, online betting is quite unique and gives you access your privacy without any one interfering in your gambling decisions.online betting also looks quite better when it comes to health wise because it gives you the room not to come in contact with any relatively communicable diseases . Online beating also increases your security wise while betting because it guides against violence , misunderstanding and very unreasonable arguments that might result to exchange of weapons and many more .but one of the problems of online betting is that it helps you to grow your addictive life because it helps you to nurture it from the earlier stage till you become a pure addict .online betting also encourages careless spending because whenever you have money on your online wallet, what comes to your mind is betting and there will be conflict of interest between you and your emotions.

Offline betting in other hands has its own side effects and can influence gamblers positively and negatively as well.in offline betting violence is inevitable, contacting various communicable disease is also inevitable but it helps in reduction of careless spending because you can only bet when you have physical cash with you .
Lastly,both the online and the offline betting no one is safer and the only way to be safe in gambling is to regulate your emotions and learn to respect your innate decisions.

My favourite gambling game is football betting, for me it is quite easy and understandable. I love gambling football betting because I watch football a lot and always active in listening to football news , know much about transfer news and many more.

Before I place in any football betting, there are series of statistical exercises that I often carry out , first I compare the two teams based of the following:
1.how many times both team have played together
2.how many times they have won each other
3.how many times they draw each other
4. If their key player is injury free
5.if their starting eleven are injury free
6. There present and previous formation
7. Their loss histories
8. The odds that are assigned to each team
After checking all these factors I will now decide on which club to give winning   This has been sustaining me and that is why I am in love with football betting than any other betting.because there are chances of winning one or two games in the bets of five games .

There are so many other factors that brought about changes  in today’s gambling and technological tools have also helped a lot in increasing the styles of gambling.lets trace back in the past when people go to betting shops , pool offices ,lotto offices and many other gambling shops to place their bets and sometimes they will have to wait to check the results but in the present day gambling the following improvements have been noticed.
1. Reduction of violence:technology had made it easy for people to bet online and reduce the risk of crowd and face to face bets that might result to unwanted fight and violence .
2.tracking of gambling progress:in nowadays gambling, a gambler can actually track the gambling progress with his or her mobile device without gong to a any betting shop unlike in the past that you have to visit the betting shop to check the progress.
3.Avoidance of disease:contamination of communicable diseases were prone in the past but right now the help of online betting has actually reduced it.

Op I will always tell people that gambling is two sided event is either you lose or you gain, and I have also told several people not to gamble with any amount  that they can’t afford to lose .Because the more you are anticipating to win also think the other way round because the reverse might become the case .

I believe in this assertion that every gambler should hope for the best but they should never expect it.why it’s called a game is that it is expected that one person should emerge a winner from the two teams playing or contesting and why it is called gambling is that you will either win or vice Versa.

Lastly looking at your questions ‘ what we need to do if we lose in gambling’, sincerely I will not do anything rather I will accept the fate that it is not my time for my luck to shine that day . And I will not complain to anyone because it is a personal race .And note that no one has ever come out to complain that he won a game rather the person goes about celebrating it so if the same person lose, he should remain mute and accept the loss and hope for a better tomorrow.

From my own perspective i did not see greed as a mistake for gamblers , the reason is that every gambler is greedy and it’s natural to be like that.the meaning of gambling itself has greed as an implied clause because everyone wants to stake less to win big or to stake big and win huge .

When you visit a betting shop you will understand that gamblers are very greedy in nature and it is virtually instilled in every gambler whether directly or indirectly. I have seen people’s bet slip about 40games in one slip to with a small amount and with the sole aim of winning millions. If everyone wins such amounts consecutively from a gambling shop will the gambling shop or the casino house still exist or function again ? This is actually a question for another day.

Lastly, greediness is embedded in every gambler whether knowingly or unknowingly so I can’t beat my chest and say that greediness is one of the mistakes that gamblers make .

As far as I know the history of gambling is also traced back to the time of Christ when he entered the church and found out that people have used the house of God for Gambling and playing of lots and so many other things .

Every religion has their own belief and practices, they have charismatic dogma that guide and protect their Christendom, some religious practices forbids gambling because they see gamblers as non believers and people who don’t love Christ .But even at that some members including the senior members of the church often gamble secretly and betraying their religious belief and doctrine .

Some months back I made a post where I saw a pastor after envagelism entered into a betting shop to try luck and the people were condemning the act portraying that the  man is not a real man of God and my other side talks .
There are always religious laws and limitations to some certain things but it takes the grace of God for some few members to obey them , some churches forbids drinking alcohol but most members drink it as well .

Lastly most religion condemn the practice of gambling in other to add value and respect to what they believe and to make people see the need to embrace Christ .

Op from my own perspective I will rather consider the difference as a mere semantics because ordinarily in our local settings we see both gambling and betting to mean the same thing because both words are trying to portray same thing .just like when someone is trying to distinguish between indoor and outdoor games , the two here are trying to define sports but both of them are being performed in different places.

When you place a bet for the sole purpose of getting something in return is also the same when you gamble in a casino house for the sole purpose of getting something in return.the both talk about trying lucks but the process of achieving it might differ.

While trying to gamble what comes to my mind is how to control my emotion so that I will not spend more than I can afford .Emotions here is actually one of the greatest obstacle to face as a gambler because if not properly controlled can result to an extreme loss .

Another thing that comes to mind while trying to gamble is how much to stake and my possible potential wins. I actually place priority on the amount to win with several positive thoughts like what to do with the money if finally I won it and many more impossible reasonings .lastly another thing that often comes to my mind is how to keep the betting slip safe so as nor to lose it in case it finally turns positive.

Loneliness is a very bad thing for a start , I will rather say that loneliness can orchestrate you in doing many things , being idle for a long time brings you closer to an unimaginable decisions that you will not even know when you will venture into conclusion .

There is this saying that ‘an idle man is a devils workshop’ and I sincerely believe it to be true because when you are lonely you don’t think about anything but something that makes you happy which invariably gambling is one of the things that make people happy . There are vituallly different things that makes people happy when they are lonely depending of the nature of the individual , some people love playing Music when they are lonely , some think about sex when they are lonely while some see gambling as the only option To ease their loneliness .

Lastly , loneliness can actually make someone To be addicted To gambling because It is the only alternative Measure To keep yourself Busy when you are idle And which might become part of you in no distant time. However, i will never envouraje any adult To be lonely expecially being indoors all the time .

Your friend might be very right , consistency they said helps a lot and also brings you closer to your desire . The ability of him trying everyday does not make him an addict but he is trying to meet his luck with so much desire.

Let’s take for instance, the day you joined this forum , you are a newbie then and virtually did not know anything about the forum but you persistent actions of reading post and contributing to discussions positively changed your status to higher rank. However, trying to gamble every day is not very bad because luck might shine on you anytime.. success comes when you are very serious in what you do and if you try to give up that means you never wanted it , so betting every day can actually bring you closer to success.

Uncertainty is something that is beyond human comprehension but lies under mathematical or statistical calculations to decide it’s outcome And gambling is not an exception To It .even the mathematical or statistical equation does not give accurate results because the next hour is quite Unknown To every individual and that’s why the weather forecasters are not always accurate on their predictions.

Replying To your question ‘If gambling is all about luck’. The question is quite rhetorical because even God said that he will bless whom ever he choose to bless. However ,from My own perspective gambling is based on faith, hope and believe.if nature decides to smile on you based on your faith you can be very lucky to win a game and not by mathematical or statistical predictions.

There is this thing that I believed about gambling , first of all before placing any bet I always have in mind that it is a game of chance and luck and that it is two sided either to win or lose.

The more lower odds you select or the bigger odds or the teams doesn’t give you any chance of winning the game, rather the outcome of the expectation will decide. If any game Is in your favour to win you must win the odds for me doesn’t actually decide winning from my own side of view . I actually place my bet irrespective of the odds and hope for luck to shine on me and that has been sustaining me in all through my gambling life .

I have actually done something for bet And i Dont Really want To go through that experience again , while still in School At My year Two precisely, i Was a Fan of lionel messi And still his loyal Fan till now .That very day i staked a bet with some part of My School fees that lionel messi will Score in the first half of the match , i Was very uncomfortable though i trusted messi And believing that he will score in the first half of the game .

The game Was moving on well And messi as usual Was contributing in all the passes , But no goal Was coming , they played till 45+4 minutes but messi did not score any goal , I was totally devastated and disappointed. The most shocking part of the story is that payment of school fees will end the next day and anyone who fails to pay will have extra year , I was very restless and losing weight till one of my friend completed the school fees for me and warned me not to engage in gambling ever again in my life . And that has been the crazy thing that I have ever done for bet.

Have actually been hearing many people saying that they gamble for fun or enterteinment And not for the money , this has also been My perception Towards gambling If not for the small money I often make Sometiemes But this idea changed this evening when i went To a game house To play some betting games.

This evening i actually realized that some people see gambling as a means of livelihood, i Was At a game house today watching some Guys play snooker betting  And their games where actually funny And entertaining till one of the Gamblers lost all his money to his fellow Gambler And he became very violent And started a fight with his colleaque that resulted the attention of the Police Force. The Police arrested everyone including the owner of the betting shop And insisted that we will all bail ourselves with money before we can go home freely .

This idea gave me the impression that some people can be very dangerous as a result of lossing money while gambling And i aslo learnt My lessons today . However, i Dont know If you have actually experienced such things At the betting shops And If yes How do you feel or react At the situation? .

My dear mate, there are so many predictions sites online both the ones that are reliable and the ones that are not reliable. The truth is that they are just mere sites and they are not even sure of their predictions because no one can actually predict the occurrence of risk .

I will advice you to take your time and monitor a particular club or different clubs, check their performance History,check their winning And their losses , their playing formation And possible make your own predictions.

Relying on prediction Sites can be deceiptive At times because most of them re fake sites who are just mere scammers looking for a way To extort money from innocent Gamblers.
