1561  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: why do people always play gambling even if they always lose? on: January 19, 2024, 01:17:38 PM
Your idea of switching the type of game to maybe improve your chances or get back money you've lost shows that you gamble more smartly and logically. But it's important to remember that gambling results are mostly random and that moving games don't always lead to wins. Promoting safe gambling, good money management, and knowledge of the possible risks connected with gambling might be helpful for people who do it.
Gambling always gives people the hope of winning something good, which is why even after repeated losses, gamblers cannot quit gambling.  We involve ourselves with various promotions of gambling sites in such a way that even after we lose, we feel that we will win the next time we gamble and we will recover all the previous losses. With this aim we continue to gamble even if we lose repeatedly. The only way to avoid this is to keep yourself under control and educate yourself about the harmful aspects of gambling

And it is this expectation that is always the starting point for gamblers to experience problems in their gambling activities, I understand and realize that in gambling there is a chance of winning but on the other hand we also have to admit that the risk of losing is there and can even be much worse if you are involved in an excessive way but unfortunately most gamblers especially those who are too focused on winning seem to ignore this fact, I don't know the problem but what is certain is that all of this is because of the hope they put on winning at the end of the session, even though gambling is about winning and losing and that means that not only winning can happen at the end of the session but losing is also a more certain possibility.

The fact that there is hope for a win at the end of the session makes a person put a lot of faith, and as you said that is what makes a gambler not seem to mind the losses they experience, and also that is because they are too confident that they will be able to win, even though no one knows and it is possible that the winnings they get are much smaller than the amount of money they have sacrificed, on the other hand chasing wins to break even is a completely wrong way because gambling has absolutely no certainty and guarantees of anything to produce. The point is that we have to re-understand what gambling is really about, and of course only self-control and limits can prevent everything from being too significant.

How can one control the uncontrollable urge to keep gambling despite the toll it takes on once life.

It's getting worse every day. I'm extremely depressed I have thoughts of unaliving myself more often, some times I feel the betting companies manipulate people spiritually to get them addicted where be playing without plans and strategy. Once a bet place get cut, there is this uncomfortable urge to quickly book another one with the plans of recovering the first money lost but it will end up cutting again.
If you want to gamble in a more comfortable and enjoyable way, then gamble with money that will not make you frustrated and depressed when you lose it. Because in my opinion gambling is just entertainment that can make people have fun while doing it, so you need to have a good mentality and not be easily depressed when you don't win at gambling. So if you still don't feel comfortable and don't feel happy doing it, it's better not to approach gambling, especially if it can make you so addicted to keep trying again without stopping that you don't have time to work anymore.

It's easy to be said, but honestly it's quite difficult if you're the one in the situation, besides when it comes to gambling, we can't deny the fact that sometimes we're going a bit too far in our limitations and take note that if you're a gambler, your mental health is at stake especially if you're currently having or experiencing unusual thoughts and feelings then accompanied by a series of bad luck and gambling losses, your mental health will really be affected so it's better to seek professional help if that happens.

That's right, especially if you have already entered and been involved in gambling, it will be very difficult to get out of this activity unless you are not too serious about your intention to gamble, but usually people who have entered and are involved will be treated with The first win can certainly make them feel more comfortable and hope that they can get results like that again, and this is where the change in mindset, especially in terms of belief in victory, usually begins. As you said, it is very likely that  someone will get involved further in this activity without realizing it and perhaps what they will feel is losing balance in terms of finances as a result of the wrong approach to gambling.

That's right, gambling does involve feelings and that means it is very possible that when we lose, especially with large amounts, our mental and psychological well-being is very likely to be disturbed and this is the reason why a gambler is reckless enough to take actions out of control, all this is because they cannot control their emotions. as a result of the mental stress of the defeat that occurred. Therefore, it is not recommended to put your hopes in gambling activities, it will only make you feel even more disappointed if you end up losing.

As a responsible gambler it gladdens my heart always whenever I hear a fellow gambler testify of how he won a bulky amount of money from be it a bet or lotto and uses that money to inject into something meaningful for himself.

It all happened on my way home just this evening. I boarded a public bus and just in front of me were seated two young men too in their late thirty's having a conversation and from the conversation it sound like they haven't met for a long time and one was telling the other of how he had won a big amount of money from a lotto he played and he has used the money to get himself a new bus for public transportation business.

According to him, he once had a bus before which he was using for the transport business (carrying of passengers) but was seized and confiscated by the authority for he used it in conveying contraband goods of which he was hired to carry to some location by the goods owner on the way law enforcement agents stop them did a search and that was how he lost that vehicle.

So winning that money he quickly went ahead to get a new bus to continue his public transport business. From his voice he seems like one whose lost hope has been restored by that single win. Gambling can be a life saver too for it's not as bad as non-gamblers portrays it. To all gamblers' when you get lucky make good use of your gambling win do not chase for double portion.

Those stories do happen and it is true there are many people gambling because they are chasing those kind of wins to turn their life around, but this is also a rare occurrence, as the majority of those that are chasing those kind of wins will never get them, and instead they will lose whatever money they had left and make their situation even worse, and it is because of this that we often recommend that people should only gambling what they can afford to lose, because gambling more money than that usually leads to disaster.
You have a point, by chasing too much and hoping to win, they only lose more and run out of money because they can no longer focus properly on their decision, their attention is focused on winning while they don't realize that they are gradually running out of money, but that kind of scenario still happens in real life where, gambling changes a person's life, maybe it's up to them how they react and how they handle their finances properly once they receive a win. At the end of the day, you will make the decision for yourself, not other people and especially not because of what you read

Yes, this is what will happen if we hope too much for victory, with the certainty that the number of attempts they make will also increase, while in gambling only luck can help them win and it is clear that it is quite impossible in my opinion to be able to get lucky in a row. and in the end, as you said, the number of losses increases and wins do not come. Most gamblers don't realize that with the many trials they do what happens is that they will slowly run out of money by losing several times in the many sessions they do, the problem is because their main focus is nothing but winning so they subconsciously ignore the risks involved. It is there.

I understand that everyone has the right and freedom to do whatever they want to do and also on the other hand they gamble using their own money, I cannot completely force them to do things that are more recommended as a prevention in gambling and maybe I We can only hope that they can change their approach to gambling for the better, such as understanding the risks first and ultimately gaining the awareness to apply lots of limits and self-control.

It would be very interesting if Madrid paid Haaland release clause, because we would see one of the PSG players who always flirts with Florentino become jealous. Of course with Bellingham, Haaland suitability is beyond doubt. Regarding Pep Guardiola, I think this has become an open secret where in the end Man City worries could come true. After all Pep Guardiola  has provided what Man City has never achieved. So there is no burden for him to leave at any time.
I believe Manchester City will treat Haaland very well, just like PSG treats Mbappe and it make Mbappe don't want to leave. However Real Madrid still have an another choice even they can't get either Haaland or Mbappe, it's Osimhen.

Napoli isn't a big team, they don't have a good amount of money if Osimhen insist to increase his salary. Napoli isn't a strong team too, they won in the last season, but they can't be consistent. While Real Madrid, they can pay high salary and they're one of strongest football team who tend to become champion.

Osimhen just signed a new contract at Napoli, that's to say Napoli has offered him a salary increase. It could also mean that Osimhen is not that interested in playing for Money. As things stands now it's unclear if Osimhen is ready to leave Napoli this season because of the new contract he just signed. I don't even think Manchester City will be ready to sell their most valued asset to real Madrid.
Interestingly, Real Madrid is always associated with these 2 young players, it seems that many see both players worthy of playing for Real Madrid, one of which is me. No wonder when we see that, because Real Madrid is a big club and the two plyers we are talking about here have qualities that they can sell for a club as big as Real Madrid.
I agree that Pep probably won't have a burden, as his main target is now achieved, but Manchester City won't have Pep's thoughts, as they are a club that will continue to exist unlike coaches who can go anywhere including retirement.
Real Madrid's main need is up front, it's always going to be an interesting conversation before they officially announce their new signing.

Valencia said goodbye to Celta Vigo at home. Both teams have been playing well in the last weeks and have been in good form. Both teams have enjoyed their last games and have no problem scoring goals. Valencia played well throughout the match but they struggled to score goals. Maybe it was good for them to get a better position in the league. They have a chance to finish in the top 6.
Girona, on the other hand, continue to win. They are in every competition this year and they have become a team hungry for success.

Valencia is currently not a great team in terms of its squad is less qualified. so if you lose at home it's not a big surprise it's a common thing. what is disappointing for supporters is probably because they lost at home to a weak Celta Vigo team which is currently only ranked 16th in the league approaching the relegation zone.
They lost, even though in La Liga they were better than Celta Vigo, but in the Copa del Rey they didn't do anything to win.
They didn't play badly, but Celta Vigo were more successful in pressing and turning chances into goals. Valencia only managed one goal and that was from the spot in the first half.
Despite the pressure, Celta Vigo managed to come out and take advantage of the situation. If they can play like this every week, I think they will be able to get a better position in the La Liga standings. But yes, the problem is when they cannot have good stability so that every week their game is unpredictable.

Maybe Arsenal is experiencing conditions similar to last season. Even this season I think it's worse. Because last season we saw Arsenal still ranked at the top in the middle of the season.
A lot of people predicted that what happened to Arsenal last season is going to repeat itself this season. I also have the same feeling, but I am just surprised that Arsenal performance has started reducing so early. There are still lots of matches to be played, and if their performance keeps on dropping, they will find it difficult to end the season in the top 4 this season. Arteta is really having lots of things to work on, and I am sure Arsenal is really in need of new strikers. Saka has not really been in form this season, his performance dropped drastically this season, which affected Arsenal's performance. Let’s see what Arsenal will be playing in their next match against Crystal Palace, they should be able to win the match, but it’s not going to be a easy win for them.
Inconsistency has been their problem in recent seasons, it's a problem they haven't been able to solve until now and now we've seen the same thing happen to them. Arteta should have been able to anticipate this, because he experienced first-hand what happened last season that made them ultimately unable to become champions after they had a considerable chance to do so.
Now I don't see it as the fatigue we talked about last season, maybe it's because they were at the same level all season, while their competitors could improve their performance as the competition progressed.
They weren't prepared when something happened to them and that's actually normal for a club. But as I said earlier, Arteta should have anticipated something similar every season.

Last season real Madrid and Bayern Munich aren't the same bro, changes is bound to happen and this time around the table might turn. If you were saying this thing like a month ago I would have argued with you vividly because the Manchester city that was playing was really shaky to even play with the might of real Madrid and harry Kane Bayern Munich but seeing that the magnificent Belgium has resumed game time and I would not that Manchester city will defeat Bayern and also real Madrid because the presence of Kevin changes alot of things.
City were just as dangerous without De Bruyne, and I'm not sure it would have helped Real much, much less Bayern, who clearly have defensive problems. But it is impossible to evaluate teams a month ago, or several months before the match, because a lot can happen, one of the players can get injured, someone can return to the game, this will also affect the team. And which of these teams will be stronger is difficult to answer, I think it will be either Real or City.
If we compare Manchester City's performance with last season, this season they look more shaky not as promising as last season. Real Madrid on the other hand, they have been able to improve their game and look better this season, so their chances are greater when compared to last season.
Will they face each other again this season? I hope so, and I hope it's in the final. The previous 2 seasons, Manchester City had to recognize the superiority of Real Madrid and more painfully they were defeated when victory was in sight. Last season they were able to get their revenge on Real Madrid. I hope they meet again this season and present an interesting game, Real Madrid will definitely want to avenge their revenge they received last season.

In Italian League Yesterday Juventus vs Sassuolo two team match, Juventus team won the match by scoring 3 goals. The performance of Sassuolo team players was not good for which Sassuolo team could not score any goals. The goalkeeper of Sassuolo team was very weak for which Juventus won the match by scoring 3 goals.  If we look at the points table position of the two teams, we can understand which team is stronger. Juventus team is at the 2nd position of the points table. On the other hand, Sassuolo team is at the 14th position.
Juventus did a great job, they didn't allow their guests to take anything away from their stadium. Although in the game Sassuolo also cannot be said to be bad, but the difference is that Juventus have attackers who are more skilled in utilizing every opportunity they get. Counting all the attempts they made they managed to create 3 goals, that's a decent percentage of success in my opinion.
This result allows them to maintain the difference from Inter Milan who also won a landslide victory this week. Yes that's what Juventus have to do, they can't lose points to stay in a tight competition with Inter Milan, because if they lose points Inter Milan will be more comfortable at the top of the standings.

Leipzig vs Leverkusen will be an interesting match this week, yes both will be determined to beat each other. For Leverkusen, a victory will allow them to maintain their current position, while for Leipzig, a victory will make them more solid in 4th place in the standings as well as it will be a cure for their defeat in the previous week.
This will be a difficult match for both teams, be it for Leverkusen, or for Leipzig. Leverkusen are in impressive form, they are the only club to be unbeaten until week 17, a remarkable achievement under Xabi Alonso.
This match is worth betting on, but the risk is also greater because both clubs have the ability to beat each other. Are you interested?

Gambling can be a hope restorer and will easily change life if you hope to get good winnings from gambling. But it is foolish to expect to win from gambling as it depends on luck and if gambling is a source of income you will get nothing but risk. It is not possible for a gambler to win continuously in such cases or after accepting constant losses people become depressed. While many gamblers benefit from playing wisely once a loss is never recovered it makes life more difficult rather than life changing. Gambling should be seen as a form of entertainment to make life better and find other sources of income instead of gambling.

Honestly I don't really understand the beginning of your statement about gambling changing lives by getting the best winnings, but yes forget it I will focus more on your second point where I agree that it is foolish to expect to  win in gambling, because it is true that it all depends on how lucky you are at that time and the name of luck is always unpredictable or know  when it comes and when it goes, therefore as you said if we are too hopeful by doing a lot of experiments then what happens is that you will suffer a number of losses that may be very large and of course it will make you suffer financial problems.

As we know that the winning  percentage is much lower than losing, because this is a business for casinos which means that casinos take advantage of gamblers who are too much or gamblers who lose, which is why there are more losers than winners. Therefore it is very important to have a correct  and proper understanding of gambling, not to misunderstand what winning means, it is nothing more than a chance and there is no certainty whatsoever.
1571  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Low cost but effective solutions to gambling addiction on: January 18, 2024, 01:02:18 PM
I've tried my best to be the very best version of myself, there's certainly no time to hold back but exerting the same energy level received by people. We can make profits and losses from the system, it just depend on what we do and how we're able to stretch our mappings and strategies
As i told before, self-exclusion is best way to get out of anything if one seriously give his best effort for that. There are many ways to making money and it depends on people what source they are choosing for what perpose. I mean its okey to gambling for fun but not primary source of income. Nothing wrong with gambling untill a person get addicted and keep losing his all in it. That's why need to take step. If he fails to do avoid it ownself then he may ask help for such organizations what op mentioned in his statements but the process will take time to complete. Addiction is kind of thing where anyone can't get out of it shortly
Once gambling becomes an addiction it is really difficult to quit. When gambling consumes a person's thoughts and actions silently when they cannot stop even after repeated attempts when all economic family or social relationships are gradually destroyed then it will turn into a mental illness. If a gambler can keep himself in control then no action is needed. But when you lose control and your family goes beyond correction you have to find another way.

Of course and indeed this is what is feared from the addiction phase, firstly it is very difficult to be treated and secondly the impact of the addiction situation is very bad, I'm not sure they will feel fine if they have entered into that situation because what they will experience is a cycle of chasing victory to restore the defeat in the previous time, or the intention is to break even which is quite impossible in gambling activities, that's why we always have to bring money that we can be responsible for whatever the outcome is because obviously what is feared is that you get emotional and instead chase victory because you are unable to accept the fact that you lost.

A gambler who has entered the addiction phase, they have a mindset and beliefs that are very different from other gamblers or normal people, where the point of the problem is in terms of expectations, they are too excessive in placing expectations due to a lack of understanding or even misunderstanding of what winning in gambling is, they think that it is like something they can definitely get, when in fact it is nothing more than something that is still uncertain or just a chance, so what happens is that they always try to pursue it and without realizing that the number of losses is getting bigger. Therefore, this is the importance of why we must always apply self-control, limits and awareness in gambling in order to minimize things that are not wanted.

Miracles exists but people that will have miracle will still be having doubts on that which they’ve had miracle on before because of the nature of the situation. PSG where not able to win the champions league when they had star players like Neymar, Messi and Mbappe in one team, why then now? They are doing well in the ligue 1 and that have given them an advantage over other teams in the league. But their performance in the league is not what is been replicated in the champions league. They need to replicate that if they want to go far in this season’s champions league. But just by miracles, I doubt if it will work for them and work in their favour.
PSG is a team that often enters the Champions League every season, although until now PSG has still not been able to win the Champions League title. Because in terms of football, it would be very wrong if a team only depended on a miracle that might come to them in a big competition like the Champions League. Winning a lot in Ligue1 does not guarantee that a team can easily become champions in the Champions League and this has been experienced several times by PSG. And this season it looks like it will be the same because currently there are not many star players at PSG who can change PSG's performance to be better than before.
They are always in the Champions League because they have no competitors that can take their place in Ligue 1, I can say with confidence that they will always be in the Champions League before other clubs here can raise their level to the same level as Paris Saint Germain.
The fact is that they don't have a single Champions League title to date with all the times they've been here. They are still lagging behind other clubs from different leagues, especially when comparing them to clubs from the English League or Spanish League.
I think the competitive level in the domestic league also affects their performance in the Champions League in the end. Because they get pressure that they are not used to during the domestic league.

Yep. History Repeats. Third season syndrome
But I don't understand why management gave the club to someone who has never coached in Serie A.
Whatever it is, the decision has been made. The Mourinho era has passed and is in the past.
Now, Let's wait to see how it goes...

Welcome home Daniele De Rossi. The new era has begun. Player, Captain, and Coach.
And I hope Roma qualifies for the next round of the UEFA Europa League.

We'll see how far Daniele De Rossi can bring AS Roma to play even better, just now that's what they need. It's not easy to continue the duties of the previous coach, especially this is in the half of the season which does not have much time to prepare everything.
They are in 9th place now, I hope he doesn't focus too much on the standings first, it would be better if he focused on improving the team's performance. They will get the standings when they can play better than now.
Half a season is a tight time, but it can be utilized very well with one note that he must provide his best strategy to make AS Roma better. Do not let AS Roma's decision to sack Mourinho be considered a wrong decision.
1574  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: January 18, 2024, 12:13:57 PM
Mourinho would be better than Howe if he went to Newcastle but he should have some time out of the game and relax. He has worked pretty much constantly for years. He should wait until the summer at the earliest to decide if there is a job that interests him.

I think Roma sacking him was quite harsh, they are not far away from the CL spots in Serie A and he won the Conference League.
After the sacking of AS Roma there are now hot rumors that offers are coming from Arab clubs but there is always a link with Newcastle, even if he goes to the Magpies he will get privileges so it is quite clear Mourinho will be better than Howe.

As of now maybe Newcastle will keep Howe until the end of the season about the clarity of the team how, but if it loses in a row then it could sack Howe in the middle of the road if it has 5 defeats for example losing with Aston Villa in the next week.

Really disappointed that Mou was fired like that he seemed emotional, Roma with Mou was able to win trophies whereas before there were none.
If he really goes to Newcastle, there is actually no guarantee that he will be better than Howe, yes it will always be a gamble when the club brings in a new coach. in terms of experience Mourinho has more experience than Howe, but with the tight competition in the Premier League it will not be an easy task for a Morinho.
Maybe Mourinho's advantage if he joins Newcastle is that he will be more free because now Newcastle has good financial capabilities, which Moerinho did not get while at AS Roma. that way he can get players who fit into his criteria to help Newcastle return to its performance like last season which now looks declining.

We are talking about arguably the two best players in the history of football, driving each other to mental levels. I mean you can call out each other if you are not the fan of the other, but the people with objective eyes can tell you that it doesn't matter if Ronaldo is better or Messi is better, it is not the point, the point is that, no matter which one is number one, those two are the top two in the history of this sport and played relatively during the same period as well, and for along time even in the same league as well.

So, it is clear that we are talking about watching Gods of football, basically playing at their retirement clubs for one last time, no matter how long, I do not think that they will change clubs after this, it is going to be just retirement for them.
This should be what is being discussed, not comparing the two players who have above-average quality from other plyers. They have proven it, even they can be a player who can survive in his presence and can also maintain his perfrmance for a very long time, it is not easy for a player to do that, because they will alwasy be faced with physical problems or others, but they can prove that they can do it.
Even now, when they are no longer young, they still have their own charm, especially for the media who want to report on them.
This year, they will be reunited in a friendly match between Al Nassr and Inter Miami, a meeting that will bring back memories of when they were in the same league.

Have you already tried again this strategy? or just this one-time trial and error?. We cannot say this could increase the chance if you didn't test a lot of probability.

So that's what's on my mind and what I want to ask, if he really wants to share tips or ways of gambling that can be profitable by increasing the odds then I think he should be one of the rich people by now by getting lots of winnings from gambling, but I doesn't know the real facts because he didn't say anything at all that would lead to his current financial situation. And of course, for people who are careful enough, they will definitely think about it and ask questions like what you said, friend, where did they only do that in one try? and did not carry out any other experiments at all to confirm that the method they did could really increase their chances of winning.

I really want him to say or answer this question, and I'm a little doubtful if in the next try he gets the same results in the sense of getting a win like that again, what I'm sure of is that he seems to have only done one try and coincidentally at the same time luck came so that he succeeded in getting that good victory. In fact, it is very difficult to be lucky enough to get such results because this is a game of chance.
I understand and agree with your mistrust. Gambling is by definition a game of chance and odds. Considering recommendations that potentially boost winning probabilities is intriguing, but lets be realistic. If there was a definite technique to win, wouldnt more gamblers be millionaires?

Every gambler has their own strategy, but its still a risk. Your friend's silence on finances is telling. It either suggests he's very private or the results arent as great as expected. Gambling involves skill, chance, and superstition.

Im not rejecting your friend's assertion, but be cautious. Never expect a steady income from gambling. Entertainment has highs and lows. Your method of questioning and proof is correct. Great if your friend copies his achievements! Remember: one win doesnt guarantee the following dice roll in gambling.

Yes that is the case and that is something that I always question, if there is a way or strategy that can really increase the chances of winning and proven to be successful in getting a win then is this still a gambling activity? I don't think so, they can get results like that in other things and outside of gambling, because  gambling is always known as an activity for profit and it has been proven that most people lose a lot when they are too excessive in experimenting, and as you said that if they can apply a way that can really earn then I think many gamblers have become millionaires.

True, every gambler has their own way or strategy but still it is not a strategy or a way that is really 100% accurate can produce, who can get the real profit is the casino where they are the ones who create and organize all the games and gamblers are just an audience who try their luck with the risk of losing. So I think don't get caught up too far in hallucinations, the victory you get is nothing more than something that comes by chance, you have to remember that this is  gambling where there are always lurking risks, so of course caution and vigilance must be the main focus to minimize.

Yes, it is fun interacting with other gamblers because we can gain knowledge that might be useful. After all, they share many things with others. They also get to know each other, which could become an even closer relationship. But maybe there are only a few people who will chat in the casino site chat room while the others are busy gambling and want to win the gambling game. The chat room also often shares tips with other friends, which makes the atmosphere more enjoyable because many people will like giving bonuses to those who win at gambling. That pleasant feeling is very different from what we find in physical casinos because we can see them and chat directly, so the interaction can also be closer.

And the most funniest aspect of meeting or interacting with other gamblers is because every individual gambler have a unique story to tell you especially as it relates to their personal life experiences in gambling. Some of these gamblers have unique stories to tell you. For instance, some gamblers will tell you that since they started gambling they have never lost any odds before and it has been a straight win for them all these while. Whereas there are those who have never won a single game before since they started gambling yet they have never get tired of the gambling rather continuing to play even more.

i can understand that sometimes we need to connect to these people just to understand their gambling life. believe it or not, we can learn a thing or two from these people and remind our own self about what to do in our own life. they have varied experiences but the bottomline is, how gambling influence the way of their life? is it for the better or worse?

With this then we can't rule out the socialization aspect of gambling, anything can be beneficial if we can take the opportunity to utilize it, such as connecting with other people in gambling, you can exchange stories with them through some chats and ask about how their experiences during their gambling and I think from there we can get some learning, every gambler has a different approach in their gambling involvement, there will definitely be some of them who have done crazy things that make them down and you can make it an example and learn so that you don't make the same mistakes in any situation. I think for the issue of whether gambling affects their lives or not I think it all comes back to how they approach and understand gambling, if indeed they come without the right understanding which causes them to always do things that are out of control and that they cannot be held accountable for then obviously it is a bad impact on their lives due to the wrong approach to gambling.

I have also experienced this of course. I think most bettors have experiences looking or noticing each other's games or bet amounts. But I've never been envious. I have been amazed of other gamblers for wagering big amount of bets as if money is nothing to them. I often wondered how rich they are for being able to afford those huge amounts just for gambling. But I didn't dream of imitating them. Sometimes I even think how those big bets that are just quickly lost could have been used for a lot of other better things.

Yeah, that's right. almost all of us have also experienced that, sometimes we have even compared our own movements to theirs. But we shouldn't do that because we have our own forecasting strategies. It's a good thing that you've never been envious to others because that envy feeling will lead you to become more greedy and competitive in a wrong way.

I guess it's normal to wonder how it feels like placing thousands of dollars in just one bet. That's probably interesting to try, but since I don't have that huge money just for gambling, I'm just satisfied imagining about it. It must be fun because the thrill and excitement should be a lot more intense when what's at stake is a large amount and the potential winnings are even larger. But with how I am now, even if I have that money, I probably would just spend it on something else.

Yes some gamblers will definitely or have thought in that direction by putting a very large amount of bets in one session, honestly I have done this with some of my friends who also gamble, we agreed that next month when we get money from work salaries almost 80% of the money from our salaries is allocated to gambling and in the end I and also some of my friends lost and lost everything, I honestly will never try it again because the situation at that time was really hot, although basically not too focused on winning but honestly it is quite difficult to feel okay when we lose especially with large amounts, although it was just an experiment but still I still remember how the pressure I felt when the money slowly disappeared.

On the other hand even though you really want to try this but I think it's better to avoid it, at first I also thought like you who assumed that "it looks like a lot of fun" but when you have done it you will really experience unusual pressure, this is according to what I experienced, and I think it's better to gamble with the amount of budget that we can be responsible for, the fear is that I doubt you can refrain from doing things out of control, and maybe also you think of repeating such large bets the next time which can certainly greatly disturb the balance in your finances.

Stuttgart must win because consecutive defeats will only cause them to leave the top 4 of the standings faster and as you said Leipzig has the opportunity to shift their position if they lose again. In general, Bochum is not a very strong opponent, but sometimes this team also performs well when facing quite strong opponents, especially being at home makes them get additional energy from the fans.

I see that Stuttgart is very dependent on Guirassy who determines the final result of the match. I admit he is a great striker in the Bundesliga and it is normal for such a great striker to greatly influence the final result of the match. It's just that without Guirassy I think Stuttgart would really struggle. They don't have a striker of the same level. The next match is against Vfl Bochum and we know they are not a strong team. But Stuttgart's last match was Borussia Mönchengladbach and they were only the 11th ranked team in the standings. I think if Stuttgart play with this kind of performance then they will have a hard time winning. I bet they will draw that game.
They should have beaten Bochum, as they were superior in every way to their opponents. They have just suffered a defeat to Monchengladbach who are also below them. Luckily at the same time Leipzoig also suffered a defeat, keeping their position safe at least for now. They must be aware of being able to get up faster and coincidentally their opponent is very useful to restore the victory that was lost in the previous week. Bochum themselves will anticipate that and I think they will try to force a draw. Indeed, victory is the main thing, but they will also definitely measure the strength of the opponent first, and I think a draw is a realistic result for Bochum.

Based on the latest news, AS Roma has officially fired Mourinho and his coaching staff and as such, AS Roma has now appointed Daniele De Rossi as interim coach.[/b]-snip

I also just read this news this morning (GMT+7), I was surprised by management of Roma decision this time. What I thought couldn't be done, but Management look like didn't want to take long to give Mourinho the opportunity. About De Rossi, he will become Roma coaches until June 2024, Unless he produces positive results, I think there will be considerations from Roma management to extend his contract.  I have doubts about the decision to appoint De Rossi. However, it will be interesting to wait and see what De Rossi will give to the club he once played for, as a coach.
I was surprised by the news of Jose Mourinho's dismissal, because previously there were no rumors that AS Roma gave a statement that Mourinho's position was not safe if he could not bring AS Roma to play better. I think AS Roma has considered this for a long time and they decided to end cooperation with Mourinho because it was considered a failure.
If I'm not mistaken, Jose Mourinho is always sacked in his third season, is this a curse? Lol. Just kidding.
More than 2 seasons with AS Roma and the game did not show progress, it was a decent opportunity so AS Roma decided to sack him in the middle of this season. But I wonder how they will perform after officially sacking Jose Mounrinho.
