One of the solutions which is recommended by most gamblers on this forum for gambling addiction is "Therapy" . Professional help in the form of therapy. It is good and very effective but how many persons can actually afford it? There is a fee for each session that lasts for a duration of 60minutes. And there are more than one session. Therapy for gambling addiction is expensive. How can those who are unemployed afford it? How about the college student? Or the person receiving minimum wage. What are the other low cost but very effective solutions to gambling addiction. And typically how long will it take before the addict starts to feel more in control and less withdrawal symptoms?
Will totally appreciate your responses. Thanks.
They say and I am not sure it works because for me it does not works,they say to take a long walk every time you feel the urge to gamble.I take a long walk everyday as I get out to make a walk to my little daughter but as soon as I come back home my desire becomes even more aggressive and once my daughter is put to sleep I usually keep gambling. The therapy should work it the person acknowledges that he has problems with gambling addiction and he needs to stop for his own benefit and I have seen that most times the therapy works.Therapy maybe expensive but gambling addiction is much more aggressive and expensive. |

Who else finds this requirements from casinos BS?
If you are referring to the deposit bonus I am one of them who find it bullshit but there can be ways around them,for example if the casinos let's you use IDR as a currency you can find a medium to low volatility game like Sweet Bonanza who can keep you playing longer until the requirement is fulfilled and you can then withdraw whatever amount is left to be withdrawn.I used to use this in my beginnings at casinos where they offered deposit bonus some long while ago,I don't see many of them offering this type of bonus anymore,not the reputable ones from what I have seen. |

A great opportunity to make a profitable bet on Arsenal. +86% looks very tempting. After the unexpected defeat from Lens, Arsenal will play as focused as possible on the result and I think Sevilla has no chance. Sevilla continues to be in crisis, and Arsenal are doing better than last season, so I think there will be something like 0-2 or 1-3 in favor of Arsenal.
Sometimes Sevilla like to be tough when playing in the UCL league but I'm not sure how their crisis with the club is going at the moment, on the other hand Arsenal playing away again it must be careful even though it has a high chance. We can compare Arsenal because they have managed to beat Man City in the English league, so I probably this will be easy to say and there should be no difficulty anymore like against Lens a few weeks ago, here obviously with the odds quite far Arsenal's favorite is now bigger. That Sevilla with their new coach must have a little change. Sevilla are great in the Europa League, but in fact I can't even remember when they were good in the Champions League. But the main factor here is that Arsenal did not score points in the game with Lens, so in the future they will only play to win. If you remove randomness or any surprises, then the balance of power in the Arsenal - Seville pair is definitely in favor of Arsenal. You have to take advantage of the fact that this is an away game and the bookmakers give generous odds; I think that in the Arsenal - Sevilla game the odds will be much more modest. Arsenal did not score any points when playing away in France,in London in their first game they crashed PSV by winning 4-0 and I doubt Sevilla waits a different fate from that of PSV.Sevilla is in an even weaker form than PSV and they may risk to be drown much further deep and Arsenal may entertain themselves with a lot of goals scored. I don't see any randomness element or surprise element that would make Arsenal not win this game so I agree with the bookies,most likely there will be very modest odds to them for this game. |

Maybe Dortmund don't have a squad as strong as Bayern Munich but they are still able to maintain their level in the Bundesliga. I really like their mentality for years. They have been making a lot of profit in talented player sales and they still manage to stand still in the league despite losing strength.
For example they haven't filled Bellingham's space with a similar talent. His contribution to the team was really significant you know. However they still don't make it a problem for themselves. We are watching them only two points away from the leader and having a winning streak of four games now.
Their mentality was put to dust in the last game of last season when in front of their home fans they needed to win at all cost to win the Bundesliga and they couldn't against a weaker team like Mainz,they drew 2-2 in that game,where was this strong winning mentality when it was the most needed,nowhere to be found. They have a good streak it is true but I don't think they are the real contenders this time around,we have Leverkussen this season in a much better position and a much better squad that is keeping the same points as Bayern and they even got a draw at Bayern,they are the most serious contender for the title during this year. |

On the other hand, Everton are not in good form and they are currently still in 16th position, but their previous victory can be a strong motivation in this match for them to at least hold Liverpool to a draw away from home. If you look at the last meeting, Liverpool won with a score of 2-0 and I think there is no hesitation in betting on Liverpool winning.
I have also placed my bet on Everton. I had lost when placing my bet on City a few days ago. But that's because Arsenal is also a strong opponent. Everton is not in good condition. I think it will even be very difficult for Everton to hold Liverpool to a draw in this match. I'm sure this match will be an easy win for Liverpool and will add to their record of wins in Merseyside derbies. Everton is in a real danger of relegation during this season and surely with such form they do not stand a chance to hold back Liverpool.It is in such games against weak opponents that the Premier League title is won or lost as we saw last year Arsenal losing the title by leaving points against such teams and because of this I think that Liverpool will not underestimate their opponents and be able to win this game. Arsenal did beat City and in the direct clash they have an advantage so far but they should not repeat the same mistake as last year when they lost the title by losing points against weaker teams. |

Argentina won as expected with 1 early goal by Otamendi in the third minute. The problem was Brazil draw by 1 goal vs Venezuela, that was a surprising result especially in a home match and with their top players.. I expected them to win with 2 goals difference at least.
Right now Argentina jumped to the first rank alone with 2 points difference with Brazil.
I think Brazilian football is not as strong as it used to be. Currently the quality of Brazilian players is below their average quality in previous years. There is no player who has the quality of Neymar in their young players. Brazil will still qualify for the 2026 world cup but I wouldn't put them in my bets. I can only hope for Argentina's return if we are talking about a team from South America. Brazil made a huge surprise in that game against Venezuela and many people I assume have lost a lot of money that is why it is better to not bet on teams no matter how big they are that has really low odds.The Brasileirao Championship has a lot of talented players and even if they have not the quality of Neymar,they should be given enough minutes,I forgot the names now but Botafogo has good attackers,Flamengo does too,they need just some time to harmonize in the national team and I think we can see a big Brazil again. |

I'm not sure this is good news for Marquez.
The Ducati of the Gresin team does not look at the same level as the others.
While it may look like that,at Honda he barely have chances to win again titles now and since Honda is not looking to improve their bike,difficult to do in just a short amount of time for the next season which starts at March 2024 it remains a logical choice to get to Ducati for Marquez. The Ducati of Gressini team may look slower but if Marquez adapts well with this bike his riding skills can fill in the gap and difference that this bike is missing with other Ducati teams,we have to wait and see. |

You're right, and Barcelona are quite clever in re-building their team with Xavi Hernandez without having to spend a lot of money like other clubs do, but I'm pretty sure they really want to do what other clubs are doing by buying players who they think will be able to make Barcelona right now to be much better, but it cannot be denied that with their young talent, Barcelona can compete well in Laliga and is also highly expected in the Champions League, because for quite a long time they have been a team that has no achievements in Europe competitions and this all happened because of mistakes in club management. Yamin Lamal is one of the young players who is predicted to shine in the future. Barcelona must take good care of this talented player and that is an advantage that Barcelona gets because they can get talented players from their youth team and now start to play in Barcelona main skuad. almost most people would say that Xavi is a coach who really has the right strategy for his team and always creates new strategies that can continue to give Barcelona the La Liga title even though finances have been a little bad since last season and without a star player like Messi, in fact Xavi is still can be great coach bringing the team to its glory days just with free players obtained from last transfer window and Lamine Yamal is rumored to be next generation of young Messi but I am not sure enough that the kid will be stronger but at least give confidence to Xavi to build his talent. Maybe yes and maybe not,Xavi has won a title and that is a great achievement for Barcelona but this season they have made quite some false steps or errors in not so many games of the season and I am sure if they don't correct this they will end up losing the title to Real Madrid or any other team that maybe there to grab whatever good moment like Atletico Madrid who has been on a great run lately. Yamal maybe a good player but comparing him to Messi is a bit to early I think and it takes a lot to be like Messi,he is one of a kind and I doubt we will see any other player of the same caliber as Messi for the time being. |

This Filipina did not even expect she won the grand prize on lottery instead she thought of winning just consolation prizes. Lucky for her she had that financial stability for 25 years as $6,670+ a month here in the Philippines is pretty huge. https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/pinoyabroad/content/882861/pinay-wins-over-p387-000-a-month-for-25-years-in-emirates-draw/story/I am not lucky in lottery or any gambling casinos but way back in 2017 the only luck I encountered was I gambled with the risk of joining bounty hunting on this forum and it is worth it. How about you guys, are you having a good fortune on your gambling career? Do you ever think of quitting after you won a jackpot? First of all you should ask us if we ever got a jackpot and then asking if we quit or not after it  .I have been gambling from several years now having played almost every game the casinos have to offer and most of all I have tried slots where some of them offer a progressive jackpot but that is extremely difficult to hit as most likely is a life changing prize for most countries in the world this type of jackpot which goes 200k or more in most cases. That woman is really lucky and that prize ongoing for 25 years is a huge one to hit,if that is net amount over 6k dollars is huge amount monthly in every country in the world not just there. |

I do not know if this has been discussed before, but I want to know why most discussions on sports asides tennis is about the men's side of it and the women side is about only barely mentioned. Take football for example. Why is there low engagement in women sports from the side of viewers and even gamblers who are sports bettors? Is it not easier to win on gambling on women sports than men's sport? or is there no gambling site offering odds for betting on women sports?
I think that most well reputable casinos offer odds for women soccer sports but the fact that most people do not bet on them is that they score loads of goals,the odds are really low as the difference and quality of the teams is huge at least in the national teams.For the clubs I don't know if they are offered the odds but I have seen that they are in some cases and again the reason why most people do not bet on such events is that they have not enough information as they have for men football which they watch on TV every weekend,no one watches women games and that must be the reason why not many people bet on these events. |

Where the other 153,145 golden tickets came from is a bit of a mystery, as they did not place in the top 10 during any of the other monthly contests. They either bought them, which makes no sense (why would you pay millions of dollars to win $200K?) or won them on the wheel of fortune, which seems highly unlikely (you would need millions of WOF spins to win that many tickets).
It is impossible to win such a huge number of golden tickets from the Wheel of Fortune because users average 1-2 golden tickets for 2-3 thousand spins. At least, I have this impression based on the results of some users who accumulated and spun a few thousand spins and then published their results in this thread. As for the winner, he could wager much less than we assume because he may well have done it at a time when freebitcoin held a promotion similar to the one it is running now ("3 golden tickets for every 500k sats that you wager"). Most likely that should be the case because all other explanations do not make that much sense.I don't know if when your refs wager you get commission here,I believe it is 20% commission but whatever the amount still you need an insane amount of refs and many of them to be whales in order to get so many tickets. Whatever the case congrats to the winner of this round Lambo which it looks is not from our forum this time. |

Netherlands have now lost two of their first five UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying matches which as result leaves them in the third position in the group B of the Euro qualifiers. A country that posseses the kind of quality players the Dutch national team possesses isn't supposed to be struggling to qualify for the European championship but as it stands, Greece who are in the same group with the Netherlands are in better position to qualify alongside group leader France.
Greece has played 6 matches and collected 12 points while Netherlands played 5 matches with 9 points, as I said Netherlands can take over if they can win in the 6th match so I don't think it's too bad for Netherlands, apart from that Netherlands' strongest opponent is France, while for the other opponents I think they can handle it. I remain confident that the Netherlands will collect 18 points in the end with 3 matches remaining or 3 wins. The situation could change if Greece can beat Netherlands in the upcoming match. Greece is doing great considering that they are in a very difficult group with France and Netherlands being in the same group with them.That is the only choice Greece has if they want to qualify for the Euro 2024,they need to win the direct clash with Netherlands which is not an easy task and even France in the second half,in the last 15 minutes risked to lose the game as Netherlands put up a lot of pressure during this time. Even if Greece does not qualify considering the group if they come third it will still be called a "success" for them. |

Agreed, Perez is a perfect teammate. He's happy to sit in 2nd, to have half the points Max does and to not rock the boat a lot.
It does sound a bit weird, but I'm sure that in RB they are happy with him. But in general, he's also a big reason as to why the season is mostly boring - it would be good for F1 in general if at least a teammate would occasionally challenge Verstappen.
Who is RB even looking at? Somebody like Norris/Ocon?
I don't think McLaren would want to leave Norris,a driver completely grown up to McLaren to move to another team no matter the offer.I also don't think that Norris would want to leave.Ocon maybe and it would be a really good option to replace Perez as Redbull does not want to have fights between their drivers and I don't think that Ocon can challenge Verstappen at all. As long as Verstappen is winning it is normal for Redbull to be happy with the situation as they normally also get the World Constructor titles as no matter how bad Perez does,he still manages to get enough points to please the team so why should they change things,there is no point in doing that. |

Well today games look more difficult to predict and the odds of the interesting games are high like Austria vs Belgium,Netherlands vs France for example.While most will point out to Belgium and France to be the likely winners for me it is difficult to predict these games and it would be better to bet those on a parlay with both teams to score yes which would be a very like achievable result in these difficult games.
The other games Italy,Bosnia and Portugal have very low odds to even take them into consideration and the Iceland vs Luxembourg sounds like a draw and I even think a Luxembourg surprise in this game because Iceland is far from the form that they had not so long ago.

It is not difficult to gamble at work if we take in consideration that using your mobile is allowed in your company.Even if they restrict you which websites you can access as long as you have a dual sim phone and have a personal sim number beside the work one no one can restrict you which websites you browse through 4G/5G mobile data of your personal sim card.
I do just that,I play with my mobile but I have noticed that every time I play in work when people are in the next offices I have an immense amount of bad luck that is why I only place my sport bets most of the time during office hours rather than gambling massively,I like playing more in the comfort of my home where luck is a bit better.

Which is more entertaining? playing games listening to music or without music just sound of the games like roulette ball bouncing on the metal wheel or playing games in silence?
While listening to music its hard to control our emotions while losing and we are not able to concentrate on game. it is highly likely that we blow our account by betting high.
but it is more entertaining while listening music on low volume and playing games.
I tried one lately and muted the tab of the site of where I was playing Sweet Bonanza and put my favorite Youtube playlist on.I was not getting mad at all despite several loses in a row which if I played without music it is a sure thing that I would have raised the bet and say goodbye to my money.While playing with the same bet and not caring much what would happen,win or lose the game kept me in the same loop and I didn't lose nor I won but at least I increased the percentage to my next VIP level. |

I don't participate in the Weekly Lottery. But I wish good luck to everyone who has tickets. If you don't get lucky, don't feel bad. Fortune will surely smile on you, but in another time and in another place. It will be very interesting if a forum member wins this lottery.
The weekly lotteries I have not seen anyone winning it as of lately while the Lambo draw as I recall correctly it was won not that long ago from a forum member who told us that even though he won the Lambo 200k dollars he was still at a loss compared to what he had spent in the site. Fortune will surely smile on you is an extremely bold statement knowing that there are only ten places as winners and we are competing against more than 50 million users,so far in so many years fortune has never smiled to me . |

Great news that Marc will be in a Ducati team and I think he will not need much time to get to grasp immediately the inner difference of the bike compared to Honda.It was a shame for Honda to not provide him a winning bike from some years now as sure he has won titles but for me he is the best rider on the grid and these new riders who have won last seasons from Ducati they are good riders while for me Marquez is a better one.I am pretty confident that no matter he is in a satellite team his riding skills can truly make a difference in making him winning a title with Ducati.

Today I encountered again my biggest nemesis on gambling which is being stuck on my gambling progress. I’ve gambling for multiple days in a row with just having a breakeven on my total bankroll. This due to the game doesn’t gave me any long winning streak and only just more losses. The only thing that makes me keep up on the breakeven side is the increased on wager to recover my losses but my gambling result is literally 1 win to 3 or more losses ratio. This is how bad my overall game.
The only good news is this time I remember how this weakness of mine always makes me lose in the past so I stop already gambling and take a break. This is what I’m trying to share here. If you really feel that your gambling doesn’t want to make you move forward by having decent profit and just giving you a hard time then don’t hesitate to quit! Don’t push forward while you are already playing uncomfortably because this will just make you bet recklessly.
Have a break and just gamble newt week or month because a lucky game will make you win easily and not with a very hard to win winning condition.
That is the enemy of most gamblers so you are not alone.When you start gambling and you are in the beginning stages of it you have enough bankroll to not care much but as you progress your session you realize that this is a losing session,no game seems to be paying and it is exactly here where it is not difficult but extremely difficult to quit and call it a day.This is a massive error most of us make and it is exactly here that when we continue to keep playing under these circumstances chances are high that we will lose it all and risk to deposit more to lose it too chasing our loses.Stop at such point,it is vital. |
