I have noticed some individuals claiming to be successful in gambling.
but, my personal experience with online gambling platform over the past 8 months has been consistently unprofitable
I haven't broken even or made any gains. I'm curious if anyone in our community has actually achieved profitability through gambling. If yes, we can calculate that how much percentage of us are profitable.
I know most of the people pay to win and deposit to recover previous losses.

write in this format:

It was actually not Perez's fault there. It was completely Red Bull's fault. Because they took a big risk by not sending Perez for another attempt. I was actually expecting a better work from Perez as it was a street circuit. I still have hope for him to reach podium. Besides Sainz can also rise in ranking during the race. Because Ferrari have really been fast so far. At the same time tyre saving is also going to be very important for racing tempo here.

First I picked Verstappen for pole position but ten minutes before qualifying started I was still indecisive between him and Leclerc. I wish I changed it to Leclerc.    I just couldn't take the risk by thinking that my closest competitors would probably pick Verstappen just as me. While there are 2 races left it is a really important risk to take in the end.

However I'm confident about Verstappen in the race. I don't think Ferrari would find a better racing tempo than Red Bull. Perez and Sainz both are going to start out of top 10 by the way.

Sainz's 10-place grid penalty decision was unbelievable but it was still nice of him to finish qualifying in 2nd place. As for Perez it was completely Red Bull's fault that they didn't let Perez have one last flying lap. 

The cash out feature is basically designed to be used when the game is still on going, but when the game is already ended then cash out feature should not be active. I'm not sure if it is a bug, but I guess it is a bug that should be fixed because players may click it unintentionally/mistakenly and they lose few of what they should win. Although lets say it give 1% difference, but it can be a decent amount if players place huge bet. Of course players should be careful to avoid miss-click the cash out button especially if they know that they bet is a win when the game is already ended and wait for stake to credit it to their account.

Hey,

I wonder what other gamblers consider to be the most important aspect of a betting site.

In my case, it's the speed of approving and processing withdrawals. Knowing that all withdrawals go smoothly, without delays or issues, makes me trust the betting site... even if it may not have the best games, the biggest odds, or the most attractive interface. In the end, it's all about the money.

In general, if a betting site makes excuses to delay withdrawals, imposes limits on the amount you can withdraw per day/week/month, or requests an excessive number of documents for a $50 withdrawal, then these are major red flags, at least for me.


So, what's the number one thing on your list?

With this result Italy has just open their opportunities to qualified and because they good from head to head statistics from Ukraine then Italy can able to occupy second place under England and if i am not mistaken Italy also more comfortable for the match against Ukraine later because draw result is enough for them to finish at second place under England and qualified to Euro 2024

On the other hand at group E Albania only able to playing draw against Moldova and this is dissapoint result because in the first half Albania can leading the game but because Moldova player Baboglo can equalized the score then both teams have to satisfied to get 1 point each but Albania chances to qualified is still wide open especially after Poland only can able to gets draw result Czech and for Poland finally their journey have to ended that they were through an 8 matches with only collect 11 points which make they were unable to qualified

Italy 3-0 at halftime against Macedonia and that is already over,i dont see a way that Macedonia at least gets a draw. This will probobly be a disaster for them. Italy with this win can secure the euros in the next match for sure and if they play like this there is no doubt.

I created this topic as a result of this news, a young Ghanaian man won 6,000,000 GHC ($501,664) with a bet of 40 GHC. This happened few days ago and it trended on social media. Some of the comments from netizens are that the young man should leave Ghana to avoid being robbed or poisoned.

I know some of us must have seen the formal presentation of a mega winner to the public by a gambling platform. Most times, these bookies invite media outlets to their offices to cover the ceremony, so that the news could be captured on newspapers, tv, internet etc. My questions are...  Can a bettor reject being unveiled to the public? Are gambling platforms paying an extra money for the publicity?

Well I don't really know if you know the position of Bayern Leverkusen in the Europa league but to call your attention Bayern Leverkusen is topping their group in the Europa league after winning all the four matches they've played in their group. Bayern Leverkusen is in good form both in bundesliga and Europa league so even if they don't win Europa league but make it among the top four then the will still be in the Europa league so the most important thing for them now is too continue in the impressive form if they can win one of the trophies.

I honestly do not know if we've had a discussion like this before on this board, but this is based on my personal experience while playing on L0tt0.com last night, I was just so close to hitting a x1000 while I was playing pick six game, which would have multiplied my initial bet amount by 1000 times.

But unfortunately, I ended up with a mere x250 because the numbers didn't align well.

Here is the shot below.



As you guys can see on the shot, I placed a bet on 490082, and the system played 480088, and according to the information in the shot below..



If my second number, which is 9, was also the same number the system played, it means that five of my numbers out of six, would have played and I would have made x1000, which Is the second to the highest jackpot being x2500.

It was a very close one for me, and I did spend more than 20 minutes staring at the outcome of this game, and wondering why just one single number had to spoil what would have been a jackpot win for men, and I did x250, instead of x1000  .

Lets discuss guys, how close have you ever been to winning a big about of money, a jackpot, maybe in sports betting or lotto, or any other game that has to do with numbers, online or offline, how close have you ever been to winning a big amount, and what was it that spoilt the win for you.?

Gambling is known to be a game of pure luck but also probability, that's if you are good at math, this is what a fellow employee said to me, he then told me to look Chris Ferguson up, to my surprise this man won millions in gambling using math, I read this man is really good at math,

He created his own gambling strategy for poker completely on math and game theory instead of trying to focus monitoring the players, this man won five world series bracelets 🤦 and over 8 millions dollars in gambling tournaments.

There is also another man called James Simons, who is named the greatest gambler of all, he made more money using math than Chris Ferguson, James net worth is over 20 billions, I was shocked, because I use to think it's impossible to gamble using any skills, this is a skill on a another level, I am mad that I am just knowing this not too long ago.

School is not important as 96% of what you learn won't be used in the real world to make money, but this 4% left is making a lot of people rich, math and gambling seems to go with each other, what do you guys think? Am I wrong or right?

How about people that will have $200 to have fun and using just like $0.1 on every game so that the time they are gambling can be prolonged?  Did you know that some people will use the whole $200 at ones and see if they win or not.

The best approach that I have thought of is to use not more than your gambling budget but in a way that all can be lost as long as you can afford to lose it. But after winning, it is good to just quite for the day and not have the fun again.

The first half was a frustrating affair between the two teams, with neither team attacking well and scoring in the first half.  Maybe Portugal would have played well from start to finish in the match, but that was not the case, rather they had a very bad first half. Portugal has good stars currently according to that if they perform well they could have won by more goals but not so good favor them. Although the match ended 0-2, the match started very disappointingly, but Portugal attacked well in the second half. Cristiano Ronaldo scored a goal in the 46th minute to put his team ahead of the opposition. And the second goal on 57 minutes made the game even better as Portugal didn't allow the opposition to attack as they eventually held on to the game. In the last minute they pulled off a win and stayed on the points table with 27 points. So far, in 9 matches, Portugal have not lost a single match and have had a great run in all matches.

Between drugs and gambling, which one do you think is more addicting than the other? I have a good reason for asking this question, because there is something I saw not too long and I am doubting if anyone have seen the same thing, I am from a place where crack heads ( drugs addicts ) and also gambling addicts are all around, here is what I've seen.

---

I have seen crack heads more than responsible with there cash, than gambling addicts, this is what make me to ask you guys this question, drug junks are more responsible than gamblers, I have seen a gambling addict who spend 200 grand in under one and half hour on gambling, I've never seen a crack head done such before, not even on drugs.

---

I have seen a crack head who changed and when we had some chats he thank God in front of me, saying he is thankful that is addiction was on drugs and not gambling, he sounds so scary of getting addicted to gambling as he confirmed that gambling seems so much harder to quit.

He went on and say something about his friend who use 15 years on gambling and the friend isn't really sure how he will stop and the friend said that if he didn't stop it will kill him sooner or later, like he knew the danger lurking but he doesn't know how to stop, he isn't sure he will get better. The friend started telling him how the world will be better off without him, that's when they started locking him up, and the battle to change him when on for four years straight before he died from strange illness.

---

I was so scared with this story and It affected me for a while, I stopped gambling for a week because of what I heard from this man, his appearance is that of someone you won't want to listen to but what he went through is so eye opening that if other addicted gamblers hear from him it could change them, gambling addiction is really scary.

I'll have a long laugh if Italy loses to North Macedonia today and doesn't make it to the big tournament again because of them... If that happens, then Macedonia can be called the Italian curse... I don't rule out that this could happen because the first game was a draw... But I really hope that Italy will win...

This is something I've always been wondering about. Gamblers tend to have a league, be it basketball football or any famed sport, that they tend to love most. For instance in the USA American football and NBA betting tend to be very popular, while in south and south east Asia countries cricket is also very popular among other sports. So people tend to have a league in a certain sport that they know the most about, have a favorite team in, know the players etc.

So what's your experience with this. When your league is in break, do you tend to try to follow other leagues that you're familiar with, or will you gamble on anything really? I'm interested to hear what other people have to say in this matter.

For me personally, I try to limit my gambling to teams where I know at least some players, because otherwise it's easy to get carried away. Really in my opinion, gambling on leagues and sports that you know little to nothing about, only increases the edge against you.

FanEagle hit it right exactly. I can't believe people on this site or anywhere still want to discuss or wonder about pricing of these things. Guys its called Marketing, just like the Lambo and the Rolex, it's to tell people they can win these stuff for free.

Nobody will change RP for iPhone, nobody will choose Rolex or Lambo. Unless they are really rich and don't need money. But it's nice to say someone won a Lambo/Rolex/iPhone

Try to solve financial issues with spending or investing money imo isnt the right thing to do. It is like trying to fight fire with fire. The only solution to sufficient money I see is simple - finding new or extra work. Maybe it is ok to make a so called safe bet, but it will bring little money only. Making a huge bet is risky, and on a distance multiple safe bets eventually gonna turn into a loosing one. Imo gambling is not a solution to get more money.
