It's nothing new when Barcelona have a player in mind but they struggle to really bring him in. Their problem has always been the same in recent seasons, which is related to their finances which are still not stable until now. They even have to think about finding ways to bring in players, one of which is by recruiting players who are without a club so they can bring them in for free.
Regarding the young players they are after, there are actually many young players who want to join Barcelona and those young players have great potential to become shining players in the future. But again they can't do it at will, because there are many considerations that they have to think carefully, especially if it has to do with finances. Keep in mind, that many teams have gone bankrupt because of their increasingly difficult financial problems.

Barcelona just did not make good financial decisions in the past, and that is just coming back to haunt them right now. Of course, they are not going to be able to do well now financially. Because they did not make good financial decisions in the past. They were probably the only club who was giving so much money as a salary to their players. And now they are just praying for their mistake. Honestly giving that type of money to a bunch of really old players (except for Lionel Messi) was definitely a bad decision for them. now I think they are just simply paying the price. The only thing that seems not okay is that the current coach is paying the price for the trouble that was made by some other coach.
Barcelona will take a very long time to recover their financial condition, unless they get a large injection of funds, such as a sultan who wants to buy Barcelona. But if they have to rely on something small from their current income, of course it will take a very long time to be able to really recover their finances.
Yes, that was their mistake in the past, but I hope they don't dwell too much on it, because it's already happened and there's no turning back.
The steps they have taken now are better, and they try to overcome their weaknesses in several ways they have done, one of which is by recruiting players for free. Xavi does have to think hard about this, because even though it was their mistake in the past, the current coach also feels the impact.

Lewandowski was a known legendary finisher in Bayern Munich when he was playing there and now even after leaving Bayern Munich for Barcelona, still Lewandowski is performing well enough. Currently, in Barcelona Lewandowski has an effective role in this team and I think even if they decide to sell Lewandowski to the Saudi team, Barcelona will have a problem finding an alternative player to take his place in the team.
However, for any player, there is a high chance to finish their career in the Saudi teams the huge money they usually offer to players like Salah and Lewandowski.

If the main goal for Barcelona is money, then selling Lewandowski to an Arab club is a good option, as they will certainly get a lot of money from the sale of this player. But they have to consider everything before they decide on that, one of which is what you said about his potential replacement who can replace his role well. It's difficult to find a player who has good ability in the opposing defense, and even some clubs now have that problem. Would they be willing to risk their squad if they decided to sell Lewandowski? That risk would not only affect their La Liga campaign, but also the bigger competitions such as the Champions League. They have to consider all of that.

Sevilla had a terrible group stage. It was much worse this time compared to the previous season which led them to finish the group in the 4th position. I was wondering what they were going to do in the last match which was critical for them and they had to win for the Europa League ticket. But they failed and even lost the match.  Sad

This season Sevilla are terrible not only in the Champions League but also the La Liga. Diego Alonso has just got sacked after the 3-0 home loss against Getafe. I wonder what will happen to this team from now on.
Sevilla is one of three teams that failed to win a single win in the Champions League group stage. This is very scary because the other teams that did not achieve a single win were Red Star and Union Berlin, which could be called mediocre teams. Actually I hope Sevilla can appear in the UEFA European League because they have an impressive record there. But after seeing their ranking in the league I think Sevilla this season is really ruined and does not deserve to qualify for the UEFA European League. Last season they achieved 13 wins at the end of the season. And this season they only achieved 2 wins from 16 matches.
Actually, Sevilla's failure in the Champions League was predictable by looking at their performance in La Liga. In La Liga alone they have only recorded 2 wins from the 16 matches they have played, so I'm not too surprised when in the Champions League they didn't even win once.
Sevilla's decline is obvious, so it's not unusual for them not to be able to place at least in the Europa League this season. The managemen must totally evaluate the team, as they are also in danger of being relegated this season. They are 16th with 13 points, the same points that 18th-placed Cadiz have. That's certainly not good for a club that is known to be good in the Europa League, and they are even the club that has won the most titles there.

This week, we will see league leaders Leverkusen take on Frankfurt. Frankfurt itself is not a club that can be underestimated, they are a club that can provide surprises that were not expected before. So Leverkusen must be very careful in this match, if they still want to be at the top of the standings.
Facing Eintracht Frankfurt this weekend, a top game to watch because the Frankfurt in question smashed Bayern Munich 5-1 and they can go ahead to be the first club to break the unbeaten run of the team standing first. Leverkusen can be competitive enough and at the end of the day, they don't qualify for significant Champs of the Bundesliga, these events do carried our executives. In everything they do, Xabi Alonso and his squad should make sure everything play out so smoothly and nothing wrong should happen to the club, because all eyes are on them. Don't be in a hurry to forget that Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten this season and they're not frightened by the opponents they face in every game.
Yes Bayern Munich can be used as a real lesson for Leverkusen so that they do not feel the same fate as Bayern Munich felt. The way Frankfurt destroys one of the strongest clubs every season, it gives a chance that maybe Frankfurt will be able to do the same to Leverkusen in this match. Xabi Alonso must have learned from the match data how Frankfurt can beat Bayern Munich, and that they can anticipate in this match.
Leverkusen have the upper hand, as they are now the only unbeaten club, even in the Europa League with a clean sweep of 6 matches with a win.
But concerns arise when in the last 2 matches they played, Leverkusen won 2 draws, it gave a gap to Frankfurt.

Lens struggled to get a win in the first 5 weeks, but they managed to pick themselves up and they haven't lost in the league for 11 weeks, a statistic that reminds me of last season again.Lens will continue on their way in the Europa League even if they are eliminated from the Champions League group.The opponents they will face here are easier and more competitive teams for them, so they can focus a little more on the league. Lens, who are currently 5th in the league, will at least want to finish in the top 3 of the league.The next week they will go to Nice, one of the form teams of the league, and this will be a very important match for them.The next week they will play PSG, so the better these 2 weeks go for them, the better their chances of finishing the league in a better place.

Lens is playing pretty well right now. And at this moment I do not think they have to worry about too much.  As you said they have been winning pretty consistently throughout the last few matches and haven't lost since what seems to be an eternity. So they are definitely doing well. Probably better than expected. I don't know how worried they are about the Europa League. But I believe they should give more importance to Ligue 1. Because I think it is still going to be hard for them to get into the top 3 positions because the teams above are performing well and have good point advantage. And Lens has 1 match in hand.
They can show a pretty good resurgence after they had a very difficult situation at the beginning of the season. Now they can slowly improve their rankings and are in 6th place. It seems like they found a weak point where they were the source of problems at the start of this season. They can improve in terms of goal productivity although not really very good, but it is enough to be able to get positive results from the matches they play. Although their defense is not really solid, there is an improvement and that is good as a progress. The truth is that a club doesn't have to be very good right away, because it's very difficult. Lens can show that slowly they can also do better in every match, and their progress is visible from match to match.
1706  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 17, 2023, 12:29:32 PM
True, the terms and conditions provided by casinos especially those based online are usually very long, kind of like a boring newspaper, and I think one of the things that makes people lazy to read all the terms and conditions is because basically and in general usually people don't want to be regulated and they always want something instant, I don't think they don't find or have time to read it but there is no other reason than it all looks boring, they come to get involved right away and not to read some theory that they don't think is too important.

Of course, the purpose of casinos creating KYC requirements is none other than because as you mentioned, casinos want to be sure of what exactly the purpose of the gamblers who come, if they are just to gamble then no problem but on the other hand it is always unpredictable that there must also be those who intend to make casinos a place to launder money, but on the other hand not many gamblers want to do it on the basis of privacy which is their main reason, even though it is all also for the safety and comfort of gamblers during their involvement.
1707  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you have a "gambling problem" which you can sometimes control for years? on: December 17, 2023, 12:09:07 PM

(Second question) Either way, when it's time to stop, how exactly do you do it? (For example) Change other habits, go new places, exercise more, stop drinking, simply "swear off" gambling... How exactly do you stop? Thank you.
If you know your gambling addiction has started again, the best is to just quit gambling. Do not gamble again. Fill your life with other things that you can think of and do not gamble again at all.

It is good to quit before it is too late.

That's what should be done, but all of that is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand to refuse ourselves to return to the right path and stop for good things, although basically it is very good advice but unfortunately most of the gamblers are difficult to do so, they have a weak mentality and defense to ignore some of the temptations that come and enter their minds.

In my opinion, what they should do first is to re-imagine past events where the activity really only worsened their situation and living conditions, especially in financial matters which made them maybe barely able to make ends meet, sometimes I think awareness has a very important role in terms of considering and choosing something better, and with a fairly good level of awareness then I think it will not be too difficult to reject and ignore all the temptations that seem to tell them to return to gambling. True, the sooner the better and prevention is better than cure.
1708  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling and Behavioral Change!!! on: December 17, 2023, 11:48:57 AM
Does any of feel behavioral change in you based on the win/loss in gambling. Myself had experienced it, and personally I used to be happy and I used to be polite with my family members and kid whenever I am on profit. On the day of losing it changes exactly in the opposite way, even for simple things I get much anger. Particularly while giving food to kid patience is must. On winning days I let him take his own time and eat. On the losing days I used to shout at him. I'm addicted, and I want fellow gamblers to make a self analysis at regular interval and be on the safer side.

Most of the gamblers actually experience something like that because you have lost in gambling, if you know that your behavior is like that when you lose in gambling, you should fix it because this is bad behavior. You can't always be like that every time you go home. Learn how to control your emotions, and only gamble as much as you can afford to lose so your head doesn't get hot when you lose. You should enjoy it.

Yes, you said it right, better to cope up with this kind of attitude before playing again, or if you already noticing this kind of changes you should find the best way to recover and reset everything back to normal, I guess changing in mood while betting is a natural reaction as human always have that after effect in terms of emotion.

But, it's still important that you know how to control that and make sure that you have all the possible option not to continue acting like that to prevent pushing your love ones away from you.

The level of hope and expectations that are too high makes it difficult for them to think realistically in terms of considering for a change for the better, they are aware and know that it is the best thing to do but the problem is that it is not easy for them to fight emotions when the situation is really hot due to defeat and loss of money which for them means a lot. I think the first thing that should be changed is in terms of understanding the gambling itself, do not let them think that gambling is a way to make money because there is always no certainty, the second is to bet with an amount that can be accounted for to lose.

I think with the two things above at least it will not make them too upset and disappointed if they really lose again. And also I think self-control and some limits will not be too difficult to do if indeed they have a good understanding and awareness, because usually something that cannot be controlled starts from emotions that cannot be restrained, so by putting a small budget and reducing expectations then I think it will not be too difficult to do.
1709  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling should be play with care on: December 17, 2023, 11:20:23 AM
Imo everything where money are involved must be done with care. Otherwise they will turn into sand and will slide awat through your fingers. Even if gambling for fun. Careless money management decreases fun time. Even rich should have careless attitude towards money. Some might say that I am old, greedy or scrooge, but I feel annoyed every time I see someone spend money like they dont care all. Perhaps I just know how sometimes it is hard to earn Smiley

I think the difficulty of making money is one of the reasons why we have to be careful in gambling, and the real concept in gambling is that casinos will drain  the money we have if we take a careless approach, which is why more of them suffer losses in The appeal of making money, none other than I think one reasonable reason is because the difficulty of making money makes them think that gambling can give them a  win or simply that this is a good place to make money, even though the reality is far from what they imagine.

Therefore, we must have a proper understanding of gambling so that we do not suffer the same fate as those who are misguided and end up getting lost in the cycle of losing to winning. That's true, sometimes even if you come with the intention of just looking for fun, it cannot be denied that defeat will definitely happen, so as much as possible we must be able to minimize everything, limit hopes and expectations, set a small budget and limit the time involved. I think those who spend a lot of money don't mean they don't care about the amount they lose but it seems like they consider it like a sacrifice for a bigger win.
1710  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Reckless gambling starts after a win round. on: December 17, 2023, 10:56:58 AM
Obviously, gambling is a business; gambling only becomes a way for us to become addicted to it. But gambling itself was not the main reason; instead, the main reason was that we were driven by greed to become addicted to gambling because we experienced winning by playing gambling on the gambling platform.

There are still many gamblers who use casinos to gamble, but they do not become addicted to gambling or develop an addiction to it because they know how to limit themselves from gambling. In short, they are responsible gamblers.

Right, and they would laugh after reading "Reckless gambling starts after a win round". What? After a winning round they collect their winnings and cash out. What kind of a greedy person one must be to start gambling recklessly after a win round? When are you going to stop then, after a losing round?

That is a situation where their mental and psychological will be played, isn't winning something that gamblers always want? of course, but do you know what impact there will be on your mindset after you experience such a situation? I think healthy people and always think realistically and address gambling will not go wrong even if they get an extraordinary sensation from the situation of winning with large amounts, but unfortunately most gamblers experience a change in mindset and point of view when they have experienced such situations and conditions.

Usually they will assume that "this seems like a good place to earn" and after that winning is not the end of the world, because of the change in mindset and increased hopes and higher expectations they will usually apply greed by hoping to get a much larger amount because they feel that luck is still there even though it is completely unknown. In my opinion, such gamblers will never stop especially after winning, usually they will stop after running out of ways and money, simply put, losing is curious and winning is addictive, that's what they are.
1711  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A) on: December 17, 2023, 08:42:14 AM
Actually, Napoli's victory over Cagliari is not something to be proud of. The reason is that Napoli faced a weak team this season and even though they won by a narrow score, Napoli should have been able to do more than that. I feel that Napoli are not completely good and it is possible that they will drop points again against a team that is balanced or stronger.


We know that Napoli are not as strong as last season and their performance is quite questionable, so when playing against a team that is just as strong, we will definitely be quite doubtful when betting on Napoli. Their challenge will be seen next week when they play away to the Olimpico Stadium, home to Roma, and that will be strong evidence that they have returned to their form.
Napoli haven't been very good this season, that's the point, even with the victory they achieved in this match it doesn't fully make them can be said to be performing well, but this victory will certainly be able to increase their confidence after the losing streak they felt. It's a result they should be grateful for because it's a very good one, even though they struggled to get it.
The distance of 11 points from the top of the table is something that is very difficult for them to pursue, but even so at least they can compete in the top 4 even though they are not completely safe, because the remaining matches in Serie A are still very much and it can change the situation. The opportunity is still there, they can still catch up even though it is something very difficult, but not an impossible thing.

Barcelona's position in La Liga was excellent last season. But compared to last season, Barcelona's performance has decreased this season. I watched the whole Valencia vs Barcelona game last night. Both teams fought hard to win this match. Barcelona scored first in the 55th minute to take a 1-0 lead. And in the 70th minute of the game, Valencia scored a goal to equalize the match. Valencia played a very difficult role in this match. Barcelona's players were unable to attack properly due to Valencia's strong defense. Due to a 1-1 draw, the points were shared between the two teams. Surprisingly, despite Barcelona dominating the game in the second half, they could not take full points in this match.
I bet on Barcelona winning this match, and it ruined my multibet bet. Lol
I thought they would be able to win this match, and that confidence increased after they scored in the 55th minute. That's not the only thing that makes me confident, their game is also good actually so I think they will really win even with a narrow score. But in the 70th minute they finally conceded and made the score even, I still think positively, because there are still at least 20 minutes left for them to make good use of. But the goal I was waiting for didn't come until the referee blew the whistle to signal the end of the match. And in the end my multibet had to fail in the first match.
With the results they achieved in this match, it extended their record in the draw, a total of 5 times they felt a draw in La LIga this season.

It seems the bad financial situation is just putting Barcelona under more pressure because Claudio Echeverriinthe Argentinian player who has the same playing style as Messi and people think this young talent can shine for his team like Messi but Barcelona cannot hire him because of the financial issues they have in the team. In fact, Claudio Echeverri, the player of the Atlético River Plate is even interested in joining Barcelona but he should wait to see if Barcelona can have a better financial situation in the future or not.
It's nothing new when Barcelona have a player in mind but they struggle to really bring him in. Their problem has always been the same in recent seasons, which is related to their finances which are still not stable until now.

Crystal palace has always been a difficult opponent for Manchester City. But I didn't expect Manchester City to surrender a 2:0 lead after 70 minutes has been played. Sometimes I begin to wonder what you are looking for wen you are 2 goals ahead. Just protect the goals you have scored and forget to score more.
Manchester City relent and this cause them to share points with Crystal Palace unexpectedly, no one saw this coming and it just happened before anyone could thought of it. Crystal Palace was not dominating but they did play to become one of the very competitive club that poses threat on City ground. The eagles sacking Patrick Viera from the headcoach position and returning to give the former coach, Roy Hodgson a second chance of examining his position and he was appointed as headcoach for the second time, and he's trying to make things right. Crystal Palace traveled to Etihad Stadium and settle for draw points.
What are you really trying to say when you say Manchester City succumbed? Are they trying to give points to their opponents in this match. I can say that Crystal Palace were very lucky in this match, because they were able to create an equalizer in the final minutes before the game ended. With such control of the match, Manchester City are very worthy of victory, but they are very unlucky in this match so they have to swallow an unsatisfactory result for them. This result makes them stuck in 4th place in the standings, by collecting 34 points. And if the club above them can achieve maximum results this week, it makes their point difference will widen.

England teams has been showing their domination because from total 3 teams who playing at this competition all of them can able to qualified to the next stages and even the teams just like Liverpool, West Ham and Brighton can can able to finish as group champion and Italy has Atalanta and AS Roma and Bundesliga team has Freiburg and Leverkusen which is the strongest candidate to be the champion of this competitions and among all of the teams who qualified only Leverkusen who able to gets 18 points from 6 matches

I think Leverkusen is in its best season in history. They swept all matches in the Bundesliga with a win, no draws or losses. In the UEFA European League they also performed impressively with 6 wins from 6 matches. For me, this was a very surprising result and I immediately placed Leverkusen as the favorite to win the league and UEFA champions. Even though there are English and Italian league teams, I think Leverkusen's performance has been crazy this season.
I have to set the record straight, because in the Bundesliga they have actually drawn 3 times, but they did go through the season without a defeat at least until the latest week. But I still consider the 3 draws as a reasonable thing because it is very difficult to alwasy achieve maximum results in every match.
I agree that this season might be one of the best seasons for Leverkusen, they look very promising with their impressive game. This season their chances of getting the title are also very large, both in the Bundesliga and in the Europa League. But to get it all is certainly not an easy journey, because they must be able to withstand every pressure that comes to them.
1716  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Do you take time to read the terms and conditions of casinos before registering? on: December 16, 2023, 03:59:36 PM
The terms and conditions of casinos and other companies is usually very lengthy and somehow boring for some people. Hence , many people rarely find time to read them. They may actually contain some of the complaints that people raise about some casinos such requiring KYC if there is need or suspicion of money laundering activities.

What is your take on this?
I'm going to bet that 90% or more of the players who sign up for a casino do not read the ToS. That's why we see so many scam accusations and a good portion of those are from users that didn't read the ToS and are breaking them.

If you are going to be a regular player on a site and deposit a decent amount of money(loose term as decent can be different amounts to everyone), it's best to make sure you know the sites rules and will be able to cashout on a big win.

That's right, I'm sure that what you said is a true fact and also a strong reason why there are still many gamblers who make accusations on some casinos where they engage in gambling activities. Honestly, I don't really know why they are so lazy to read some of the ToS provided by the casino, but what is certain is that overall and in general most people don't like rules or they don't like to be regulated in any way so they ignore the ToS, even though I think it doesn't hurt to take a little time to read it, with that they will know and understand about everything in the casino, especially in terms of possible risks.

Basically it's all their right whether they will read it or not, I think it's likely that casinos should create a system that can make gamblers feel forced to read and understand the ToS first before they engage in gambling, at least it will be useful to minimize some of the accusations that will occur.
1717  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Why the rich win gambling more than the poor. on: December 16, 2023, 03:39:14 PM
That's the main advantage the rich has. They can continue to try out their luck in different games but they poor cannot. Simply because the poor are restricted to a certain amount of money. They can't spend as they please. On the other hand the rich has abundant amount of money. So even if they loses 100 bets, it won't be enough to affect them that much. They can just move to another game if they feels like it.

Money management and greediness is one of the main problem of the poor. A poor man can accumulate 20 games to win $1000 with $1. They keep picking games from different league without proper studying of those league. Poor people see football betting as a gambling but the rich sees it as a business. They may stick to just few leagues they know we'll about and only pick few game with above 60% assurance of winning.
This is exactly what is making many gamblers to lose their bets even the ones that they might win but because of greediness or lack of money they will add other games that will give the bet a chance to lose.
However, rich gamblers don't give a fuck to what's going to happen to their games sometimes because already they have the money, soost of them are just there to catch the fun and not to look for profits.
But you know what? Even if they are there to look for profits or they are there to catch fun, there is still more chances that their stakes will also lose if they don't have the luck at that time.

Basically I think that most gamblers will act greedy when they have won, none other than because they think that luck is still on their side, so instead of withdrawing their winnings and enjoying it but what they choose is to  continue gambling with a very high level of hope and confidence and hope that they can get a win with a much bigger amount than the previous win and it's the same as they create new opportunities to get a loss or lose.

I think for gamblers who have a rich  background they will usually prefer to seek pleasure and entertainment, they come to seek entertainment from the busy business activities they do in the real world, so with that then I think that can be used as a reason why rich gamblers choose to make gambling as entertainment only, and also another thing is that they already have a lot of money and already know how to make money, so it seems very unlikely that rich people come to earn. Of course, no matter what and whatever purpose they bring to their gambling activities, the chance of risk is still very possible, no matter whether you come for entertainment or income, but the difference is that those who come with the intention of seeking entertainment usually  will not be too excessive and will not return to betting if the previous result loses.

I have to say that those who are gambling at work are people who cant manage their time well. Working time should be used wisely, to focus on the work only but I wont deny that I have done it before because I was so bored with what I do in my office. I realize that it is a mistake and I do not do it again till now to avoid something bad with my career. Better to manage our gambling time, gamble when we have free time only, time when we have nothing to do at all. Time is priceless especially when it comes with our family, job, or relationship.

You can only gamble in your workplace if you have the time to do so, if you work where task is demanding, then you won't even have the spare time to for any other activities during work hours. Although it's morally not proper to use work time for gambling, because you can be so concentrated on the game and neglect your duty. It's better to gamble on our free time, so we can relax better and enjoy the maximum fun of gambling. Besides if your boss catches you gambling during work hours, it could lead to warning, suspension or even sack, so if your work allows you to seat all day and it makes you to be bored, then you can gamble discreetly, but at your own risk.

But still, however and even though you have free time in the middle of working hours, it is still not recommended, there will be a lot of bad effects that you will experience when you do that, first, maybe the defeat of gambling is obvious and the second is the consequences of losing your job if your boss finds out that one of his employees is gambling during working hours. Besides, of course, as you said, there are many other times if you want to gamble that can certainly make you more focused in your gambling activities and can enjoy it quietly without fear of being caught by your boss like you gamble at work.

In addition, it is your main job that provides you with income so far, your boss is still quite good if in the early stages you are only given a warning but if your boss is one of the people who are very strict then obviously most likely you will be fired and lose your only job. So the point is that you or anyone should be more careful, and must be able to divide time according to its portion, if it is time to work then do not do other activities besides your main job.

That's a good approach my friend, if indeed the money you have decided to gamble in one session has run out for example then of course that means your gambling session is over and we are not allowed to make a re-deposit, oh yes I think for those who lost the first session and continuing to the second session or making another deposit, it seems like they have a personality that is easily provoked and curious or I would even suspect the intention and purpose of their visit. However, there is nothing more important in betting, namely applying good boundaries and self-control, whether you win or lose, you still have to have time to rest, or that means losing, winning is certain, so if you are able to accept all the possibilities for whatever will happen. happens then I think you will not overreact like making a re-deposit.

For myself, to be honest, I was originally a fairly active gambler who couldn't miss gambling every day, but for some reason now I have started to feel  bored and even when I have the intention to make a deposit I always imagine that the end result will definitely be like before. True, I think for people who are still in good self-control it's all about mood, I've experienced  one thing that I think is quite ridiculous, at that time I had the intention and already made a deposit but a few minutes later I immediately withdrew the money I deposited in the same amount, just because my playing mood suddenly disappeared.. Cheesy
The psychological trap is a key component of gambling that you mentioned. Losing control is more important than simply losing money. You're right on the money when you say that those who are provoked or curious will re-deposit. It is a common occurrence to witness a gambler's ego kicking in after they lose and whispering, "Try again, you can win this time." Though, its a control illusion. Recall that the house is always at an advantage.

Your personal story describes a fascinating trip. When you first started gambling, it was a daily habit, but now you get bored. How come? Perhaps its because the delusion is beginning to fade from your vision. Your deposit and withdrawal are a ballet of uncertainty that represents your inner turmoil. This is the conundrum faced by gamblers: they want thrills yet are constrained by caution. Its a gentle reminder that gambling ought to be enjoyable and entertaining rather than a mental struggle.

In the event you've got a lot of time on your hands, you're going to want to make sure that you've got a good understanding of what you're doing and what you're doing to make sure that you're doing, And that's why they returned to deposit a second time, and also you have said something that is in accordance with the facts that there is like a whisper that enters their mind that indirectly tells them to try it once again and I call it "curiosity", not thinking that the house always wins, because maybe emotions have controlled him so that he cannot think logically.

Honestly, I also feel strange why my interest in gambling has decreased like this, but certainly maybe like you said that the fantasy of big wins has disappeared in my mind, so it can happen silly events like what I mentioned earlier that at the same time I even went back to withdraw all the money I had just deposited just because my mood changed and I found other pleasures where at that time a friend of mine invited me to play games. I'm honestly grateful that now my interest in gambling has faded and that my finances are fine.

The particular story has gone viral in my locality, just this afternoon I heard some people debating on the stupidity of the gambler, saying it was utter foolishness for anyone take or actually think of even taking his life. Gambling is something that should be done at the expense of knowing you can endure every lost that comes your way because losing is actually the bigger part of the habit, I am led to understand that the ratio of gamblers who are at profits than lose is very small as the major population of gamblers are at lost more than winning.
If many gamblers were aware of the risks of gambling, they should not use a lot of money to gamble. They also don't need to experience a lot of losses, which could make them think short of ending their life because they suffer so many losses from gambling. Unfortunately, many people still gamble with big money, and many end up losing a lot. Of the many gamblers who experience defeat, some people decide to end their lives because they think they cannot afford to lose the money they have used in gambling. They think that by ending their life, their problem will resolved and they don't have to worry about losing. But they should be able to think about what would happen to the people they left behind if they decided to end their lives.

I'm sure most of the gamblers behind the scenes are aware of the risks that can occur in their gambling journey especially experiencing a lot of losses, maybe we can say that they shouldn't use a lot of money because there is always no certainty and guarantee but the problem is that different situations will make different decisions and that's why there are still many people who break the rules and limits that they initially set, tempting situations can be a big driver for them to always overdo it to realize a hope. They think that by bringing a big budget, the victory will also be big, I admit that it is true but on the other hand do you have a reason why you can be so sure that you will win? while on the other hand the house will always win.

That action will only make you experience a greater number of losses because the percentage of wins is much lower than losses and that is the reason and fact why more lose than win. On the other hand understanding what gambling really is is very important if you really want to get involved, don't let you come because you are lured by the chances of winning because when you are involved then everything will change meaning that your beliefs and hopes are nothing more than hallucinations because it is so difficult to win, the great pressure of losing makes them emotional and act out of control, I am sure the pressure suffered by that person is so great that he is desperate to commit suicide.
