The good thing is that you acknowledge that you got a problem and the urge point to a deep level of addiction.Unfortunately in this case you don't really wanna be excluded as some casinos offer self exclusion up to 1 year which is quite a long time to recover yourself.Tools to stop you from accessing your favorite casinos need to be installed by someone else in your computer as there is no point you for example installing Netnanny which would block type of websites you tell it to stop.The bottom line is that you need professional help,since you already acknowledge you have problems telling your closest family member can help you go to some rehab center and in there usually people who want to quit gambling achieve it.

Real Madrid gave a really bad psychological blow to Barcelona with this win in Barcelona home stadium and for now I think Barcelona is the last team as the most favored to win the La Liga compared to Real Madrid,Atletico Madrid and even Girona as these are the teams who have not made errors like Barcelona has made with Mallorca and some other team and it showed even difficulties when playing at home against Celta Vigo barely managing to turn things around.

For now Barcelona should work hard to win every remaining game if they want to have a chance to fight for the title,Real Madrid isn't in top form either yet they managed to win the El Classico today.

There are less than 2 hours left for qualifying to be underway. I never like to rely on the results of practice sessions. Because teams are preferring parts in worse condition for these sessions generally and this makes sense a lot. Because they need to keep clear from possible grid penalties as much as possible.

Albon seemed impressive in practice sessions so far but I can't be sure that he would be as good as that as for qualifying tonight.

The only thing I'm confident is that Verstappen would take pole position.  Grin

Well since Albon has been consistent in both practices I am not saying that he will start from the front row in tomorrow race but I am pretty confident that he can make it again to Q3 in qualifying meaning he will start from top 10 and he is been doing this some consecutive races now,for me Redbull should take notes as they removed him for non performing when he was at Redbull,now he has experience and has matured a lot while Perez I doubt he will continue to race for Redbull based on his performances and we may see Albon another time at Redbull soon.

Verstappen should take the Pole easy as he has the best car and his appetite for winning as much as possible is not deteriorating at all after becoming already World Champion.

We're given free bets after signing up to an operator when making a minimum deposit, we claim bonuses with it. I don't normally try claiming bonuses for I know the wagering requirement but I'm trying it this time.

If you are to use them to your advantage and turn it into coins how do you do it? Besides betting on both sides it sure is but you know the math of it.

Free bets in sport betting is easy to achieve results just find some really low odds,in games of good leagues like Premier League,Bundesliga,Serie A,La Liga and French Ligue 1 and try to parlay many of these games in Over 1.5 goals as the odd which will be from 1.15 to 1.35 for game and 6-7 games are enough to go to some odd of near 4 or something along these lines,you most of the time hit such bets although in gambling nothing is guaranteed as some of such games can end 0-0 making your bet a lost one.

For the wagering though it would be better if you use the casino,most of the time you can achieve their wagering requirements by just playing dice with 98% chance to win to keep you playing a long time and such to entitle you to that bonus,this is what I do with such bonuses.

Thanks for reminder, jeremypwr. I actually somehow forgot about qualification and didn't even submitted picks on Superbru, despite watching practice yesterday. Now everything is fixed Smiley. Picks on Superburu submitted, prediction contest too.
Difficult to expect something unexpected to happen when you see what Verstappen is doing in practice. I only hope that Perez will have decent race at home soil, it's needed that much for home in such difficult season.

From what I am seeing him doing in the Practice 2 and now live in Practice 3 it is showing that he is there 4th or 5th and I believe starting from such position if he manages to also do well in the Pole Position which starts just 2 hours from now I see him doing well in the race and why not achieve a much much needed podium after his disastrous recent races,if he cannot put up a good show even at home soil then I think it will be game over for him and he may be replaced despite having signed a contract for 2024.

Redbull has done it several times changing drivers in the middle of the season,they always leave a clause in their contract that if the driver does not do a minimum required from him he may be fired for the moment like happened with Albon not long ago.

It is the situation indeed. The engine of Charles Leclerc's car is also said to have a potential to have durability problems in the Mexico GP. However Vasseur decided not to make any change. They are said to be waiting for next weeks to make new changes in his car. This news was enough to make me nervous about Leclerc's race. I won't be surprised if he can't finish the race or lose a lot of pace after a point.

If Sainz is also in a similar condition then it doesn't seem logical to expect much from Ferrari at this race weekend.  Sad

They have 2 "3rd drivers" in case of necessity, one is Giovinazzi.

Lecler will drive under drugs, for Sainz not clear yet.

That is a good information to know before betting anything on the Ferraris and in fact we may use this information to bet against them,kinda betting like Leclerc not in top 6 for example and even not in top 10 to try an extreme bet.Giovinazzi is a great driver for me and the reason he was out of Alfa Romeo was because Zhou had big sponsors behind his back as for the skills Zhou has brought nothing to the table and Giovinazzi would surely be a better driver for F1.

In the extreme case of Sainz skipping the GP I would love to see Giovinazzi take his place as I think he will drive very well in a Ferrari and it is a long time I am not seeing an Italian driver in a Ferrari,it would be nice to see,definitely.

Max Dominating free practice 2.

I think there will be no contender today, RBR seems to be very fast on the track.

Let's see what the most mediocre driver of the all grid which is Perez who is racing at home will do in such track as he too has a Redbull car to drive.In the last 10 races or so he has been consistently the worse driver of the grid but I think in this one at least in front of his public if the car feels well,he can surprise us for the good to give a strong fight in the race for getting at least in the podium,it should not be that difficult with a car being in perfect condition for such track.

For the picks I will wait to see the end of the free practice after about 30 minutes and then will decide but most likely going with the same picks I have had during much of the season except I need to replace Stroll with someone else,he looks like he is in great contention with Perez as who is the worse driver of 2023 season.

We will be right back with the fourth game week in the group stage after a one-week break. The same teams will face each other this time by changing sides. For now I can see that Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City and Barcelona are teams with a zero point loss. I don't expect any surprise from these teams from now on about finishing as the leader.

Group E and Group F are the most complicated ones considering the points collected so far. Especially in Group E I would have expected Atletico Madrid to beat Celtic away. Because there was a huge advantage they could have taken as Lazio lost to Feyenoord. Atletico Madrid could have won actually if they didn't get that red card.

I think both Lazio and Atletico Madrid will win their games without any problems at all when they will be playing at home the return games.While I also don't think there will be surprise results for the above mentioned big teams in their games I cannot stop thinking how lucky was Bayern to get the win in Istanbul as Galatasaray dominated that game completely,it was only experience that gave Bayern the win as the goal scoring opportunities or scoring opportunities were 14-3 in favor of Galatasaray,nevertheless in Germany I doubt they can cause a surprise.

Brighton beat 6-1 against Ajax. We can say that Ajax had no chances and it is strange to see such a club as Ajax in such a terrible situation. In their domestic league, Ajax are sitting in the relegation zone with 1 victory after 7 rounds. Ajax fans are disappointed this season. Brighton, on the other hand, continues its rising performance from last year this season. They can surprise in the Europa League this season.
Which match are you discussing here, I didn't find that Brighton beat Ajax with a landslide score of 6-1, the match in Group B of the Europa League between Brighton vs Ajak ended 2-0 in favor of Brighton. Brighton victory not only opened up their chances of qualifying for the next round, but also recorded the club's history of achieving their first win in European competition. This result helped Brighton swap positions with Ajax at the bottom of the standings. Brighton sits in third place after getting three additional points, while Ajax dropped to the bottom of the standings.


The game ended 2-0 in favor of Brighton so most likely he is referring to the total attack,dangerous attacks and scoring opportunities that the game provided.I was very skeptical about Brighton after they were not doing well in Europe but then I reminded myself in the real deep shit that Ajax is during this season failing miserably to perform in the domestic league and this is also being reflected in the European competitions for them.

For Brighton this will serve as a boost in morale and to forget their lost game at home against AEK Athens in the first match day of the Europa League group stages.

IMO, if you say only a few people show their winnings but in the slot thread you can find out how many people have won from slot games but have you ever seen a slot gambler showing his losses or total losses? I think its very rare because its natural for us as humans to show victory more often than defeat, which is a little embarrassing, but even so, sometimes there are also some who show their victory but also say dont ask about previous losses because there will definitely be more. Grin
In the slot thread, there are lots of people who win and share their winnings and that makes us jealous of the wins they get Grin

Slot players may rarely show their losses but they only say they have lost and some people experience losses that they can accept. And there are also people who, apart from sharing their winnings, also tell the number of their losses so that people know that slot games depend on luck. People need to know that playing gambling can result in many losses apart from wins.

Not only in slot games, but it is also rare to see people share their losses in other games. As len01 said, it is quite normal because sharing what we wins is more fun than sharing our losses. For me myself, I do not like to share my losses too because it will make me remind me about the losses while I always try to forget what I have lost while gambling. What we need to do as reader or viewer of those nice win is to take it wisely as a motivation for us that winning is possible but there is also high risk behind it.
Truth is many gamblers doesn't like to share any losses experience particularly when huge money is involved, they want to remember their wins more than losses, known as selective recall. For some, gambling is a pleasant activity that serves as a distraction to their stress so tendency that once they lose a money, they will keep it to them because they don't want to feel like they're being pity.

That is only for some gamblers and they are a minority,the majority will gladly share their losses and will accompany that with a lot of harsh words and swearing in general.Yesterday I was playing Pragmatic Play slot Sweet Bonanza,using IDR as a currency and having 100.000 IDR while playing with a bet of 200 IDR the minimum it took me well over 1.5 hour to give me the bonus and during this time it kept me in the game making me lose a little in every passing moment.

Imagine if I played with a huge amount,so playing in slots is not recommended at all unless you have money to burn chasing that extremely rare max win.

In all three major religions including Christianity which I am also part of God has forbidden gambling as they say in the Holy Bible,there is only little benefit in gambling and a lot of damage for the good life of such wrongdoer.That is why no matter that the guy who did that picture is a good Christian who wants to bet and win I am afraid God won't help him just like God won't help any of us who pretend to be good Christians and on the other side online where no one knows us we involve in an illegal activity like gambling is in our religion.I think that picture is mostly for fun and a wrong fun because you cannot make fun of the religion holy book if you are a believer.

I'm sure all Bayern Munich fans all over the globe will be so happy with this development. Manuel Neuer have been a very important figure in the success of the club for more the past two decades and his return will further boost the team's spirit and also make the the team stronger to challenge for all the available trophies this season. Of a truth, Manuel Neuer is in his late 30s but I don't think the injury that's sidelined him over the past 10 months is gonna stop him from delivering great performances whenever he's been called upon
With all they have accomplished with him no Bayern Munich fan will not be happy to see him finally recover from injury and join up with the squad. Not sure if he was even included in the teams squad list for the season because i didn’t see his name among others so i don’t know if he would be available for selection when he is fully fit and ready for action. Manuel Neuer is a very experienced player who will add so much quality to the team and will make them stronger to even challenge for any trophy, his experience and expertise will be really helpful and since the team is already highly spirited and the he will help them improve their winning record.
Reportedly he will be ready to play for Bayern Munich in the nearest game and that is indeed good news. But I hope that his prolonged absence will not significantly affect his performance in this match if he is named in the starting line-up. Because usually a player also has to re-adapt if he doesn't play for a long time, especially if his absence is due to an injury that requires him to be sidelined for a very long time.
But apart from all that, Bayern Munich again got additional ammunition, players who had been a mainstay could finally rejoin the squad.
Manuel Neuer is a monument at Bayern and contributed to 11 Bundesliga championships and 2 Champions Leagues. But he should understand that this time he returns, he will have to try harder to win the trust of coach Thomas Tuchel. Neuer suffered a severe injury after going skiing. After a long period of treatment, Neuer is preparing to return to play. Before the match against Darmstadt, coach Tuchel confirmed that Neuer is preparing to return. His recovery and return have been impressive. He will quickly regain top form.
When Manuel Neuer was injured, the defending Bundesliga champion was forced to consider finding a replacement. But because they spent too much money on striker Kane, they still postponed this position. He needs to prove his bravery so that Bayern will give up the idea of finding a new goalkeeper.


I think he is not that young again Neuer and when you get this type of bad injury the recovery time was long and when you stay this long time without doing training or playing official games your return is very difficult.I think the actual goalkeeper is good enough for Bayern to not spend more money to find another goalkeeper,they have done well to get Kane as a striker and Kane is doing pretty well with Bayern so far,they are performing well both in the Bundesliga and in Champions League.

I don't think we will see a Neuer we are used to in times before when he was excelling with Bayern,he will be just a normal goalkeeper at best after the injury and his age and also he may be even worse than a normal goalkeeper,we have to see him in action.

I was watching the game of Girona vs Celta Vigo yesterday night and when I saw the first half I thought Girona would not win,in the second half chances for them started piling up a lot and they missed quite some goal chances,at the 80th minute I said to myself they are not going to win this when I saw in the 90th minute they did score a goal which is making this season for them looking really good.They are still following their dream to fight for La Liga and so far they are leading the standings while waiting for the Real and Barcelona game,let's not forget Atletico Madrid though as the team in the best recent form in this league,they both are fighting for the title which makes this a very interesting season.

once an NBA fan somewhat like a casual fan of NBA and wants to bet on matches.

being a fan but not going to do some research about the players and team conditions, how am i going to participate in sports betting specifically on the NBA?
i wouldn't want to just keep following based on the odds. seemingly as a bettor, it requires ramping up on lots of updates and knowledge of the sport and how the team players are doing. how am i to do it?


So you know that you cannot rely on odds only and you also know that you need to do a lot of research about many other facets of a certain game,like players condition,team injuries and other factors but you don't wanna do it?

If you don't do your own research it is a bit difficult to come out as winner from the sport bets including NBA which for me is very difficult to win money lines bets and would be better the Asian handicap or Over/Under bets,they seem to be more easy to catch.Whatever the case without doing your own research you won't go far in sport betting no matter what sports you bet on.

The threads here won't help much too as they are based on personal user opinions but you can gain some insights from all the opinions there to use as your data.

Tottenham played really well today although Crystal Palace is not an opponent who can create problems to the big teams,it is a weakness of theirs this one.Nevertheless now Tottenham is in a very comfortable position leading the table of the Premier League and I think up until now no one was taking them seriously to win the title or to fight for it but I believe now they are a very serious contender to such fight and they have yet to lose a game.I want to see them playing against Manchester City or Liverpool and see how they perform there but as long as they keep winning against other teams they will still be there fighting for the title.

We have threads here about people betting millions of dollars on sports battings and other games in casinos and the amount of money is insane, they can bet millions of dollars on one team and they easily forget everything and bet another millions.

I doubt if we have high rollers who will admit, that having a lot of money means you cannot satisfy your ego or that your level of enjoyment is high that you will need to bet millions of dollars just to fulfill your dopamine level.

What do you think, if I have millions I will be satisfied betting thousands of dollars for fear of addiction that will lead to losing my fortune, but I really don't know if I will reach that level of having millions and still be moderate in gambling.






If I had million of dollars why would I need to bet to satisfy my ego in gambling as I don't need to gamble at all as I would be happy enjoying my money.While most of us do not directly admit it we play to hit that max win or that jackpot which nowadays it can be as a bare minimum a big boost to our financial status depending on the bet we play and hit it.

I don't need to satisfy my dopamine level with gambling as there are a lot of other activities which can increase dopamine and adrenaline and of course there is no need for me to list them here as we all know them.As they say in our time if you have money you have everything and can buy everything except your mom and dad  Grin.

Championship Round 13 completed and I am happy with my results.
I placed combo bet on Sportsbet for Ipswich winning first half and Leicester to win against Sunderland, that produced nice return for me Smiley
It sucks that Evans score own goal for Southampton in stoppage time, he just gave free point to Preston  Tongue

Leicester is firmly holding the first place and they have best attack with 27 goals, and by far best defense in league with only 7 conceded goals.
Ipswich is not far behind them and they have one match less, than there is a big gap with other teams.
Clarke from Sunderland is currently best goal scorer in league with 8 goals scored.
No time for rest, next round is scheduled for this weekend, starting Saturday.

I saw the scoreline for Saints, didn't read the match report. Must be a real pain for them -- I honestly expected them to have a far easier time than Leicester but they seem to be stuck in some kind of funk along with Leeds. Ipswich won't hold the return-to-mean barrier, so I wouln't worry about them, but the boys in white and red are going to have to knucle down to take proper advantage of like when Leeds slip.

Vardy's on 5 btw, mini-renaissance?
Unlike Leicester who were also relegated from the English Premier League last season, Leicester have been poor with their performances in the EFL championship this season as they're already trailing league leaders Leicester by 15 points after just 13 league matches. Leicester has been the best of not just the three clubs that was relegated last season but all the club's in the second division of English club football. With Leicester's current form, I think they're gonna surely play in the English Premier League next season

That is out of the question and is going to be 100% true that they will play in Premier League next year.They have been the best team in the English Championship so far and they have also convinced in their goal scoring ability which is one of the best of the league,even in defense they are doing well and as such they will be surely promoted to play in the Premier League next season.

Southampton is an average team which may or may not be directly promoted to the Premier League as their performance has been average while Leeds looks like the team performing the worse from the three relegated teams and I think if I would have big money I would bet on them not being promoted for next season.

Anyone is free to bet whatever amounts he wants on whatever team he wants and if sport books or lotto clubs accepted his huge bets for the Houston Astros baseball team then it is just normal if he loses and wins like most of us do,what is not normal for most of us is the amount of money he bets.

This boils down to one simple fact though,as long as he bet these huge amounts it means that he has a lot of money and he is free to do whatever he likes with his money,if he lost 10 million dollars it means he does not care much about money as it appears he has always had them.

I think casinos should have separate rooms or smoking areas with good ventilation.
Ordinary people should not suffer from smoke pollution

That is for offline casinos and the level of people following these casinos except in Las Vegas keeps decreasing with each passing day.I agree though that the smoke should not be felt by all players who happen to play near each other in the same slot machines,for this they should have an isolated ambient like you say that smokers should go and smoke there and if they start a play session they should smoke a cigarette first and then start this session,they cannot simply opt to light a cigarette in the middle of such session as other people may not like it.Smoke pollution is very dangerous even to people who have never smoked in their entire life,and that is why it is best to use online casinos as you are in the comfort of your home,in a great quite room enjoying your play,nothing beats this.

Considering Tottenham's performance so far this season, one can easily give them the win in their match against palace today but looking at Crystal palace, they've not lost two consecutive matches for a very long time now and for the fact that they lost their match last week might give them an edge to continue is this consistency of not losing two straight match so I see a though opponent for Tottenham is their match with Crystal palace today.

Tottenham is well known for their inconsistency in last couple of seasons and I am impressed by their consistency during this one.The game of tonight it will be a big test for them although I think based on their recent form it should be no surprise if they win this game.Crystal Palace is a good team but unfortunately they seem to lose every time they play against stronger teams,I have to go back in time quite a length to see when they were able to beat one big team and chances are tonight they will lose too.Of course for Tottenham it won't be easy but most likely they will get the three points with a bit of suffering here.
