The ultimate target for gamblers is to win and be able to make good use of the profits. When the profit is missing, gambling becomes a misery, unfortunately, a lot of people are in that stage which is the reason efforts are continously being made to encourage gamblers to take their risk management seriously. With proper risk management, losses will not be too painful

I think there is no much fun in gambling as the fun and joy is only activated by the money.

Draft is just like other indoor games such as scrabble,  Monopoly, Chess and others. They were primarily designed for entertainment and not for gamble but some people do side bets with it just like they do with anything that involves competition.

Draft should be one of my best games and part of what kept me busy during this Easter holidays.  It is popular in my neighbourhood too and just like you rightly stated, there are some aged people who are in the habits of using this game for side bets and due to their age, it now appear that draft is a gamble for old men. We are often chided to be toeing the wrong part for playing draft using some old men as example. I just laugh at them because those saying those things do not know how entertaining and mentally engaging draft is.

I don't think the home/away advantages/disadvantages still works for Liverpool and the likes. Now their eyes are on the trophy so it doesn't matter if they are at home or away, it is now all about the 3 points. This fixture shows that Liverpool actually have a chance, the only major resistances I see are Tottenham and Manchester United but but Liverpool upper hands against them.


Indeed the league have become vert difficult to predict because the major contenders are in their best forms with about the same points. I know a clear winner will emerge but winning the league through goal difference is a possibility.

Not for once have this helped me, instead it has dealt with me mercilessly as if the bookies are monitoring me. Just recently I went all in on Benfica and Sporting Lisbon which I combined both to play over 2.5 goals in their respective matches. I was heartbroken when Benfica failed even when they were at home against a very poor side. They could only score 1 goal whereas Sporting Lisbon delivered as expected. My only luck was that I did not ignore risk management as the amount I went all in with was the balance of a winning I already withdrew to my personal wallet.

I'm gradually learning to avoid going all in and I will make it a duty to avoid reposing too much confidence in any game.

Theoretically it may seem plausible but that is not always the case as the temptation is compounded when you convert your Bitcoin to cash that is stashed in the bank. Besides, holding cash for two to three years waiting for the bottom of the bear market, which is what many people do, is not easy. Instead of the problems that this method carries, which have been abundantly elucidated, why not simply HODL because what you supporting is not different from position trading because the life cycle is less than 4 years.

In other words, it is buy low, sell high for you. Well, that is not different from trading and I do not have problem with that, just that it may not be the focus of this thread because it is long term investment that is being discussed here.

Putting a cap on the number of post will not be a bad idea for the longevity of the campaign. I'm sure you know that pay per post will stretch the campaign budget but if the company can carry that, it will actually increase the post count and visibility of the company in the biggest cryptocurrency and online gambling platform that I know of.
Nevertheless, I still s

Someone should please check on @shasan, @conforas, @DarkStar_ and the other lenders... they have a lot at stake

What a day this has become.... well thank God it was not real.

If my blood pressure remains the same after today,  I will do giveaway in my village 

You got me here, @Theymos. Wow, I was struggling to wrap my head around this before I ready comments that made me remember what date it is.

Olympique Marseille did very bad today, one of their worst outing in recent times. Maybe they were just being frightened by the big name of PSG. If Marseille did what was expected from them, they would have taken advantage of the 41st minutes red card of Lucas Beraldo that left PSG with one man deficient. Unfortunately, they were very busy being afraid of PSG than playing to win. The worst result they would have gotten was a draw instead of the 0-2 humiliation they received from PSG, a team that started scoring them from 2nd half when they were already one man down.

There was one Bitcoin ATM in my country that worked for a while before it later stopped working. The excitement was really high when it was launched, the news really brought many people into Bitcoin. I guess it failed because of our government policy in Bitcoin then via the central bank. They were never friendly with Bitcoin and were freezing the accounts of some individuals and businesses that were involved with Bitcoin. People were therefore very careful and resorted to trading P2P only with extra effort in the transactions so that they do not have any description or information that suggest they are related to Bitcoin.

I don't think there was anything that changed about the use of Bitcoin ATMs. People were just discouraged probably by the high transaction fees and longer waiting time for payment confirmation as a result of network congestion. I think a lot of improvements have to be made to this technology to engender more adoption of the Bitcoin ATM.

Gambling is not basically for fun but a means of earning passive income. I doubt there are people who started gambling just for the fun of it; the primary motivation to venturing into gambling is always the money. Along the line, one can find fun but this is not the main thing about gambling.

People play video games and sport for fun, at least those does not require so much psychological body as there are no financial commitment. I think gambling is not even suitable as a means of fun because a single bad daw will make the fun disappear

Las Palmas did very well in averting many goals following the early red card. Perhaps Barcelona have continued to show how weak a team they have become this season. If it were the strong Barcelona that we know, there was no way they will not score at least 4 goals against Las Palmas who is never a treat to any big side this season. The conceded 5 goals against Atletico Madrid and 3 goals against Getafe so this demystify their supposed fighting spirit. I'm sure Barcelona has just increase the pockets of the bookies by neutralising those who would have played with the expectations of many goals

You are lucky to have had a soft landing in gambling. I started gambling in an easy way too but without much knowledge of the risk of addiction. Strangely, I was winning easily then and it was a smooth business that I later realized was not that easy as it seems especially when reality started setting in. I have now had my own fair share of the emotional torture that comes with being incapacitated by gambling and I have managed to evolved.

The job of gambling companies is limited to telling their users the risk associated with gambling, they don't need to go beyond that and so far you will appreciate the fact that the gambling companies does that perfectly well with their TOS filled with all the information needed by the gambler.

The burden of fighting gambling addition and managing risk is on the gambler and no one else. Besides, there is age cap that requires that every gambler is matured enough to take their decisions.

Across various culture and religion, societies are nurtured to believe that men should be the stronger one and the "protector". Consequently, it is mentally normal for men to assume this position.  Well, by the body physiology,  this is nothing but the truth even though there will be few exceptions. So, men are expected to be more courageous, hardened and more disposed to tackling daring challenges. This is also evident in.the ratio of male to female ratio in cryptocurrency that is perceived to be risky... so whatever involves risk, expect more men to be involved than women.

Just like many people have already suggested, you have the freedom to make and wear your own signature but ensure you don't wear signature of services that are banned in the platform like mixers and DDoS services. Also don't wear signature of scam projects or services because the forum administration frown at scams and will not hesitate to use the sledgehammer.

I have observed remarkable difference in my gambling ever since I decided to make rules and also follow them. Everything about my gambling now have become controlled, from how much I can put into gambling to targets even to the things that will make me stop for the day are all known before I even get started. I think making rules for myself is the best thing I did that is helping me in sports betting.

This should be about the first rule for every gambler if they want to maintain their sanity. It took me time and a lot of sacrifices to come to terms with this rule, so I guide this rule jealously. Before even starting, I first of all calculate the amount I'm willing to put into gambler to check if I can afford to lose it. This way I will be prepared for whatever outcome I get even though I will still hope to win.

You are very correct, we have to give it to Real Madrid this season, they worked so hard and deserve the trophy. Barcelona catching up with Real Madrid now means the later losing three matches while the former continue to win all their matches. Now the question is, can Madrid lose 3 out of their remaining 9 matches? The answer is an easy no even though anything is possible in football. On the other hand, will Barcelona be able to win all their remaining 9 matches? This is what I think is difficult because their performance this season is seriously below expectations.

It is rare for casinos to ban a customer especially regulated casinos with high reputation. The few times I hear of casinos banning a user is when the user raise accusation against them due to problem with withdrawals or KYC. On the aspect of violating the rules, the casino can just cancel the bets or void the suspected winning with adequate warning message sent instead of outright ban. I have not experienced ban and I wouldn't want to experience it because it will lead to losing my money which I cannot afford to do. I read the TOS of casino I want to use and ensure I follow the rules.
