If the intention is to get known by other members as an active member and perhaps get some merits for giving an answer/explanation to the question posed in the thread, you’ll get noticed alright. But if your posts are majorly irrelevant, you surely won’t get any merits. You would be known as a spammer and probably be put on ignore by others. All thanks to your hard work of making sure to quickly write redundant shit early in a new thread.

Posts which are of quality and informative still manage to get merits even if they’re buried deep in a thread.

You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to. You mentioned you want no part of the situation yet you still willingly get involved. What he’s probably going through is the results of not so wise decisions he has made over time.
He’s gone and got himself in business with loan sharks. Very understanding when lending money and not so understanding anymore when it’s time for repayment. You wouldn’t want to get involved with such characters.

It’s truly admirable wanting to help out the person you consider a friend. While helping a drowning man, You’ve got to be careful not to drown also.

If it’s legal and allowed in a country, why still should there be a ban for casinos to advertise and make themselves known to the public? Also, I don’t think gambling ads have that much of an effect on young children as you seem to think. They’re more likely to ignore such advertisements as the ads aren’t designed as they’re aren’t intended for young minds.

The responsibility of raising kids right rests primarily with the parents. People won’t just give up legal activities they enjoy because it could have a bad influence on your kid. If you as a parent dislike certain activities and advertisements cause you think it might influence your kid, it’s on you to make adjustments to suit your preferences for your kid and not to clamor for its outright ban.

Blue cards in my opinion is redundant. I personally don’t see any use in having a blue card as I’ve always thought yellow cards work just fine. If a player is unruly on the field and seems to disrespect the referee, having no regards to his authority on the field, a yellow card has always been a good deterrent for others aiming to emulate such behavior.

If a blue card given to a player sends him to the sidelines to cool off and a second blue card gets you a red card and off the field. Asides sending a player to stand by the sidelines for a while, yellow cards did all of that.
The red and yellow cards used are simple and straightforward. They work just fine.

He didn’t settle in well and it doesn’t seem like he’s enjoying his stay that much. His contract does have a high fee and I don’t think any club in Europe would be willing to meet for his sake. He an amazing player no doubt, but he’s not getting any younger also.
Al-Ittihad did recognize his talents and perhaps in a bid to make him feel settled in as well, they made him captain.
It would be quite hard for one to focus on and excel on doing something that there is no heart nor interest for.

Positive emotions doesn’t do shit to help a gambler win more in the short or long run anywhere. You said it yourself, the strategies used cannot be ignored. You need adequate research and knowledge to help in your strategy. Then with a little bit of luck, you’re good.
You can be cheery all you want and still experience regular losses. I would agree though that emotions could have some influence in our thoughts and could help sway our decisions. So while trying to put together a game to play on, it’s best to remain clear headed to be able to get your facts straight.

I hoped you would write more on why you’re not a fan of green renewable energy and how exactly it relates to governments printing more money into the economy or fighting Inflation.
You noted yourself that we’ve got to solve problems with new (and better) methods. Be more energy efficient, hence the renewable energy sources being touted all over today. 
Change is difficult to accept hence the slow adaptation of these renewable energy sources.

As for fighting inflation, governments do know how to do one thing well. And that’s obviously to print even more money.

Even if the game was played at Stamford Bridge, i personally don’t see any difference as Manchester City would still be favorites to win the game. Chelsea, playing at home wouldn’t make any difference as I don’t see how that could help increase their chances.

Not to underestimate any side as there’s still a possibility of Chelsea having a win against City on their home ground. Also, Manchester City doesn’t have all their injured players back but the combo of De Bruyne and Haaland is back so we’ll see how that goes.
Chelsea on the other hand, has some of their notable players recovering from injuries.

Good days.. Today, If there’s something being offered, you should expect there’s someone somewhere that’s going to be interested. With credit cards now readily available, we’ve slowly begun to move away from the cash and into the credit era. Who needs cash when you’ve got good credit that would enable you to get more credit and take even more loans?
We’ve gotten used to living with and serving debts, it apparently doesn’t seem that crazy anymore to apply and get a loan only to use part or the whole of the funds to gamble.

Gambling has long been labeled by the society as a bad and not so pocket friendly activity that people should stay clear of. The reason this is so is due to the irresponsible behavior exhibited by irresponsible and somewhat immature individuals who gamble.
Any religion would inevitably have its followers stay clear of activities that could potentially have a negative effect on either themselves or/and their families.

Religion has overtime, become a tool for control. We’ve got men of the cloth giving several interpretations of the scripture to suit whatever agenda they’ve got. Quite sad.

There may be a certain level of eagerness that could lead to impatience when registering on a new casino online. But I think a good number of people do try and make an attempt at reading whatever terms of service that needs to be agreed and adhered to. There are a lot of sites which TOS I’ve wanted to read through thoroughly but I never seem to make it to the end before I lose interest and literally get tired of reading it.

The TOS could be extremely long and in a lot of cases, written in smaller prints making it more likely for one to lose interest quickly. One would think it’s purposefully done to make people not read the TOS and then, go ahead to accept any and all terms.

The casinos actually don’t give a fuck if you’re experienced or not. I would think they would prefer you to be ignorant and inexperienced so as to lose more money whenever playing.
18 years of age is the acceptable age limit for one to fully aware of their actions and thus, able to bear whatever consequences that could follow. Hence that’s pretty much the only requirement needed for one to be able to play.

I think the age limit is adhered to by casinos due to enforcement and if they would be allowed to have their way, anyone having some money would be welcomed to play.

I don’t think a scenario like you one in the OP could ever play out. A casino caring so much about a gambler that they restrict the account of the gambler so there would not be any more deposits and the person would not be able to continue playing.
I believe a more likely scenario would be the casino suspending his account for some other legit reason and not cause they’re enforcing responsibility amongst their customers. More like, You’re above 18 and should be old enough to make decisions. If you choose to be irresponsible, they’re probably not going to stop you.

I highly doubt successful people in gambling are seen as addicts. They’re successful due to the fact that they’re not addicts. The successful individual may be intense in his gaming and could play regularly but that doesn’t necessarily make him an addict.
I personally think an addict in gambling can not just become successful at it and I don’t think anyone would look up to a successful gambler and think the person to be an addict.

Bad impressions are mostly formed in the minds ofthe general society by constant tales of irresponsible and outright stupid behaviors of people like the one mentioned in the OP. And the father has added to the impression the society already has pig gambling and it’s negative effects if taken too far.
The father was being irresponsible and had clearly prioritized his activities over his infant children who he was supposed to be watching over.
Individuals like this should never be trusted with the responsibility of taking care/watching over someone else.

People indulge in their favorite pastime activities on a daily basis. There could be people out there that regularly gambles, likely on a daily basis as well.
One can only comfortably gamble if there’s enough money to do so. And for one to go on to gamble daily for whatever reasons, the pockets of such individuals must be extremely deep for him to comfortably keep at it.

Middle to lower income earners could find it difficult to gamble daily even with lower amount of money as there are other more important expenses that would need to be taken care of.

If you don’t dislike a thing or an activity, then you probably do like the activity and actually won’t need to be persuaded let alone forced.
In your case, I do fail to see how you’re being forced to use the account you created as no one is literally forcing you to do anything. You can just abandon the account. Like you yourself noted, don’t fund the account and choose not to log in anymore. Easy. There are no issues here. 

With gambling, it’s highly unlikely for anyone to force me against my will to do whatever. Unless, of course there’s a gun to one’s head.

I guess they did bring out their best game in the second half and scored two goals to have them win the game and ultimately, the tournament. I did think Nigeria would have won the game but the better side won the game.
I guess this makes their journey from being the best losers in the group stage to tournament winners quite a beautiful journey and apparently, they did have enough reason and drive to want to win this one.

Nigeria majorly stepped up the pressure when they conceded the second goal. They did all they could to equalize and I would applaud their efforts although they didn’t yield the desired effect.

I too think Nigeria would win the game. I had the thought immediately they emerged victorious in the game against South Africa. Few minutes till the half time and so far, they haven’t been playing so well looking at the match stats, but that’s irrelevant(for now) as they’ve managed to score a goal and get ahead in the match.
Hopefully, we’ll see more goals from Nigeria in the second half to solidify their lead and help the team cruise to victory. Wouldn’t it be something to win the title while playing against the host nation?  

About the referee being biased in his rulings, I haven’t really seen anything that would make me doubt his fairness in his decisions.  

Having little money left to comfortably part ways with little for gambling purposes,
Having a series of losses lately and don’t feel motivated enough to play some more,
Having played quite consistently over a couple of months and just want a break and change from the gambling scenes.

Irrespective of your reasons, go on and take that break when you need it. It helps.
